After the Qingming Festival, the weather rarely turned clear, and the time entered March of the second year of the first peace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On this day, outside Xincai City, the rumbling war drums from the morning resounded in the sky. The combined forces of Uncle Liu and Sun Quan were blocked by this fortified city on the south bank of the river for more than ten days.

The fighting between the two sides is fierce every day. The trebuchets outside the city and the bed crossbows inside the city are consuming each other every day. Especially Uncle Liu Huang's 30,000 recruits, after more than ten days of tragic fighting, the remaining more than 10,000 people can be regarded as elite.

The news that the pseudo-capital Shangcai City was burned to ashes has not been transmitted for a while.

Ji Ling, who presided over the defense of Xincai City, was trapped in the city and could not go out of the city to find out the news, and he could not get the slightest information about his imperial capital.

The combined forces of Uncle Liu and Sun Quan sent a detailed expedition. It's just that these scouts who were sent out went north and went into the sea after bypassing Xincai City, not to mention finding out any news, not even the guys who came back to report, not a single one!

This situation is very wrong for the Sun and Liu coalition forces.

Under Xincai City, this time it is the turn of Jiangdong soldiers and horses to attack the city.

Uncle Liu Huang's recruits eliminated almost 20,000 people, and with only one county in Jiujiang County, it was impossible to fish with all his might. However, the Jiangdong soldiers and horses are the king of Qin, and there are not a few recruits brought by them.

The siege of the city by the military generals, under the defense of the bed crossbow and the strong bow and crossbow, has been proven to be undesirable, and the Sun-Liu coalition army can only take the ant-attached siege.

Fortunately, the logistics of the Jiangdong Army also followed during this period of time, and a batch of catapults were also transported. Unexpectedly, the damage caused by these catapults on the city wall was not small.

……

"It's a shame that a new Cai City has actually blocked our 100,000 army for more than ten days!"

"If the first lord is still here, not to mention a new Caicheng, why is it difficult to go all the way to Yuan Shu and the pseudo-capital of Cai?"

Cheng Pu and Han Dang had a lot of emotion when they thought about the past, and Huang Gai beside him shouted: "The two generals are cautious! ”

Although these two people are telling the truth, they can't speak freely in public.

Because, now Jiangdong is the era when the young prince Sun Quan is in power, if the Jiangdong army is nostalgic for the era when the eldest son was in power, once it spreads, what do you make the current lord think, will the surrounding princes think that the monarchs and ministers of Jiangdong are no longer in harmony?

Turning around, Huang Gai said to Liu Bei, who was watching the battle from the Chinese army: "Uncle Liu Huang, it's not a way to attack like this!" ”

At the head of Xincai City, the generals and colonels of Yuan Shujun's defense of the city have not changed much, but most of the soldiers who defend the city have been rotated in several batches, and they are even filled with a large number of young and strong.

In recent days, the Jiangdong army has attacked the city, and the intensity and intensity of the siege are not comparable to that of Liu Huangshu's team that day, especially after the catapults of the Jiangdong army were transported, the casualties of the defenders of Xincaicheng began to increase.

Although the range of the catapult was not as long as that of the bed crossbow, it was enough to inflict a large number of casualties on the defending army by surprise.

In the Central Military Department, the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang were watching the battle, and the great military might of the Jiangdong Army made Uncle Liu Huang secretly awe-inspiring in his heart. Everyone will be messing around on the ground in Jiangdong in the future, and the strength of Jiangdong Army is not a good thing for him Uncle Liu Huang

Looking at the tragic battle up and down the ladder, Liu Bei replied: "In the general's opinion, what should we do?" ”

Liu Bei has already consumed 20,000 recruits under Xincai City, of course, he also hopes that the Jiangdong Army will also suffer heavy losses under this city, and it is best to lose tens of thousands of elites, so it is not too perfect.

Huang Gai arched his hand at Liu Bei and said, "In the past ten days, the sentry horses sent to Shangcai City have not returned. The second and third generals under Uncle Liu Huang are incomparably brave, and most of the iron cavalry under his command are strong forces in the north. ”

"Yes, I also ask Uncle Liu Huang to sit down with two generals and lead the iron cavalry north to investigate the situation."

Zhang Fei was always stubborn, and immediately burst out: "When the Tiger Prison was in the past, didn't Sun Jian's old man capture tens of thousands of Xiliang Iron Cavalry, why didn't your Jiangdong Army send these Western Liang Iron Cavalry to the north to explore the truth?" ”

"Could it be that you are Sun Quan's little boy who wants to swallow Xincai City alone?"

Zhang Fei's interjection made Huang Gai and the three of them hide their unkindness, not that Zhang Fei hit Huang Gai's sore spot, but that Zhang Laosan's words were disrespectful to Sun Jian, the old lord of Jiangdong.

Uncle Liu Huang naturally also knew that his third brother would offend people when he opened his mouth, and if he didn't speculate on this sentence, there might be a firefight, so he said: "Third brother stop!" ”

"Second brother, third brother, you will wait for the three thousand iron horsemen to patrol the north, remember that you can't easily engage in battle when you encounter the enemy, you must send a messenger back to report."

Then, Uncle Liu Huang turned to Huang Gai and the others: "Three generals Haihan, my third brother is so reckless!" ”

"Humph!" Cheng Pu and Han Dang snorted coldly, which can be regarded as a sign that they are not familiar with the comics.

Huang Gai haha, "Let's concentrate on attacking Xincai City!" ”

……

Just after noon, and I don't know if the first round of siege was going on as usual, more than ten of the iron cavalry that had just been sent out in the morning turned back.

After more than ten horsemen turned over and dismounted, I saw a long run in front of Uncle Liu Huang and reported: "Lord, General Guan will come back to report to the lord, Qingzhou Assassin Shi Hao Meng commanded an army of 50,000 and is killing Xincai City, which is less than fifty miles away from Xincai City at this time!" ”

"Is it really Hao Meng's house?" Uncle Liu Huang can no longer do Gujing Wubo.

"How could Hao Meng come so quickly?"

"This Yuan Shu is too incompetent, right? Its pseudo-capital can't stop Hao Meng for ten days? ”

"Have you heard how Yuan Shu's pseudo-capital was broken?" Huang Gai finally asked the point.

Nashi Chang looked at his lord, and then replied: "This last general doesn't know, Qingzhou Thorn Shi seems to be not good, and we were shot by them before we got close." ”

"At this moment, General Guan and General Zhang are only afraid that they are confronting Hao Meng!"

"Bad comer?" Huang Gai and Liu Bei glanced at each other with unpleasant faces, and then Huang Gai shouted: "Mingjin collects the troops, we won't attack the city today!" ”

When the sound of gold was ringing, the north gate of Xincai City also rang the alarm bell, one or twenty miles north of Xincai City, I don't know whether it was wolf smoke or dust, it was sweeping in the sky.

On the tower of the north gate of Xincai City, which is more than ten zhang high, the big movement one or twenty miles away can naturally be seen clearly.

Sun and Liu's coalition army attacked Xincai City, mostly besieging Sanque Yi, hoping that Ji Ling, who was defending the city, would take the opportunity to abandon the city. It's a pity that Ji Ling stubbornly defended Xincai City, and didn't give Huang Gai and Uncle Liu Huang a chance to take over the city at all.

This north gate is the gap, there are only a few horses from the coalition army outside the city, and on the city wall, Ji Ling has only arranged more than 1,000 people to guard.

Now, the alarm bell rang for a long time, and most of the defenders of Xincai City naturally moved to the north city gate. And the Sun-Liu coalition army outside the city is also rolling near the north gate of Xincai City.
