"The cavalry is divided into two armies, the left and right, two miles ahead, and one mile apart from the left and right to protect the two wings!"

"Sword and shield soldiers set up a long snake formation! Slow ahead! ”

"Spearmen are arrayed! Advance! ”

"Archers, forward!

Jia Xu divided 10,000 cavalry to dismount and act as infantry to attack the city, and the cavalry wandered on both flanks to encircle the mouth of the lake.

The defenders of Hukou saw that Jia Xu had lined up his troops well, and it could be seen from the advance and command of the troops that this was a well-trained elite soldier. Smelling the bloody breath of the Chang'an army outside the wall, he had no fighting spirit.

The defenders of Hukou pinned their hopes on the city wall, and the cavalry could not attack the city, as long as they did not open the city and go out to engage in short combat, it was impossible for the cavalry to fly up the wall.

Thundered.

Suddenly, a large group of cavalry crashed into the city walls, and the speed did not slow down in the slightest. Could it be that you can't break through the city wall? The defenders craned out their necks curiously.

Traverse.

Just as the horses were about to hit the wall, the cavalry drifted neatly and beautifully, and the knights on horseback turned and bent their bows and arrows, and threw arrows at the city. Countless defenders stuck out of the battlements with arrows in their heads, screaming and falling off the wall.

"Stand back and find cover!" The defender will shout.

The cavalry outside the city did not stop, and columns rushed down the city to fire arrows, so that the defenders could not raise their heads. The infantry, pushing their crossbow arrows, stepped forward and shot rope ladders and began to climb the walls.

The mouth of the lake belongs to the mouth of the alley along the river, and the city is low. The defenders only resisted slightly, and countless Chang'an soldiers climbed to the top of the city.

The general has gone, and the guards have dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

Jia Xu shook a shot and deceived a large number of Jiangdong troops to Jiujiang, resulting in the emptiness of Chaisang, Hukou, Yuzhang, Jianchang, Poyang and other cities, and Jia Xu conquered important alleys and lakes in one day, seized hundreds of large and small ships, and Jiangdong shook.

Han Dang Zhang Zhao failed to send out the army, lost the city and land, and made serious mistakes. In order to exterminate Jia Xu and ensure the safety of the Jiangdong side, Han Dang transferred troops to cross Poyang Lake overnight, wanting to fight Jia Xu to the death.

Hukou County Ya.

Jia Xu sat firmly on the main seat, swept away the martial artists below, and stopped them from clamoring for a decisive battle in Handang. 贾诩 says:

"The Jiangdong Army is top-heavy. A heavy army was stationed in Xiangyang, and now there is a heavy army in Jiujiangtun. Jiangdong only has six counties, and the rear troops must be empty. If I abandon Han Dang and advance into Jianye, if the Xiangyang army knows, the army will definitely be unstable and forced to return to help, and it will be easier for the general to negotiate to take Jingzhou. And our army also avoids the real and attacks the false, which is beneficial and harmless. ”

Before dawn, when the vanguard troops in Handang were thirty miles apart, Jia Xu beat drums to wake up the sleeping soldiers, packed grain and grass, set fire to the boats, and marched down the river to Jianye.

Jiangdong has few horses, and Jia Xu's soldiers are all cavalry, and Han Dang can't catch up with them, so he stops in fear.

Jia Xu went all the way east, attacking the city along the way, conquering five counties in two days, and smashing the Tiger Forest City.

Jian Ye City Gate.

A young general came from afar, shouting loudly as he ran: "Oh no, no, the Chang'an cavalry is coming, it's not good, the Chang'an cavalry is coming." ”

"What?"

The people of Jianye were like thunder, and looked at the young general in disbelief.

"I'm the captain of the Tiger Forest, and I'm here to report that tens of thousands of Chang'an cavalry have called, and I'm coming soon!"

Jia Xudong's momentum shook the sky, Jianye shook five times a day, and countless families moved back to Wu County. Prosperously built in a day, it is almost like an empty city.

Sun Quan was actually the last person in Yecheng to know the news, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military ministers did not transmit the news to the palace at the first time, so they first went home and ordered the retainers and slaves to pack their belongings and cover them back to Wu County, and after the arrangements were completed, they rushed to the palace in a hurry.

Sun Quan's face was as pale as paper, and he didn't react for a while.

"What to do? What to do? What do you say? Sun Quandi's voice roared over the palace. The civil and military ministers who stayed in the rear were all important figures in the family, and they were experts in intriguing, tricking, and conspiracy on weekdays, and they were letting them go into battle to kill the enemy and command the army, and I was afraid that they would be scared before they arrived on the battlefield.

"King, the Chang'an Iron Cavalry is menacing, you should avoid its edge first, and then recruit back the army of Zhou Yu in Jingzhou, and let Jia Xu Iron Cavalry 30,000 is not a concern." Gu Yong first said, Gu Jiadi has very few belongings in Jianye, Gu Yong doesn't care about Jianye's gains and losses, and saves his life first.

What is Jian Ye? This is Sun Quan's new capital as soon as he is based, if Chang'an only has a partial division, Sun Quan will be scared to move and spread to the world, what prestige does Sun Quan have? Of course, the family doesn't care about Sun Quan's face, Jiangdong is the Jiangdong of the family, but not Sun Quan's Jiangdong, whether to go or stay is of course up to all the families to decide.

"No, for the sake of my Jiangdong face, I will die to protect Jianye!" Zhang Hong suddenly decided.

In order to encourage Sun Quan, Zhang Hong Zhang Zhao also said that Jianye has dragon spirit, has the spirit of the Son of Heaven, and the Zhang family is one of the first and most supportive families to move the capital, in order to prosper here, all the industries of the family land are basically moved to Jianye, if Jia Xu really let Jia Xu capture Jianye, it will be a fatal blow to the Zhang family and the Jiangdong clan, and the Manchu family property will be lost.

"The Chang'an Iron Cavalry is coming soon, what does Mr. think this means?" The family whose property is not in Jianye is not willing to fight to the death with the Chang'an army and fight to the death.

"Foolishness! Do you think that if you hide back in Wu County, the Chang'an Iron Cavalry will not be able to attack? You just hide to the ends of the earth, hide in Jiaozhou, Lu Bu still won't let you go, there is only one way to go, unless you ......" Zhang Hong said in a long voice.

"Unless what?"

"Unless you hand over all your family's land and property for free, and then wag your tail and beg for mercy, Lu Bu may take your life!"

"Too much deception!" The old man's face was flushed when he was scolded by Zhang Hong, and he didn't care about the etiquette of the nobles of the family, so he angrily pointed at Zhang Hong.

"Enough! Jianye must be protected, if we only care about fleeing for our lives and abandoning the local people, the people's hearts will be scattered, and my Jiangdong will eventually be captured by the anti-thief Lu Bu. Sun Quan raised his hand to stop the uncontrollable quarrel in His Palace, and turned his head to ask Zhang Hong, who supported Jianye:

"What does Zigang think?"

After a brief period of panic, Zhang Hong regained his previous wisdom and spat out two words briefly: "Conscription!" ”

"Yes, yes, conscription. There is no requirement for Lonely, before the arrival of the Chang'an Iron Cavalry, everyone raised 50,000, no, 100,000 people came out, and the king wanted to drive the expedition in person. Sun Quan temporarily changed his words to double the number, the more troops, the more confidence he had, anyway, he now has no soldiers, no food, all these soldiers are evenly divided by the family.

Sun Quan was suddenly a little grateful, and Jia Xu suddenly killed in the hinterland of Jiangdong. On weekdays, Sun Quan does not have too much military power in his hands, all the soldiers are from the family, and the spoils are also divided by the family first, he is just a watchdog promoted by the Jiangdong family, and he is forbidden everywhere. This time, when Jia Xu arrived, when Jiangdong was empty, there were no generals in the DPRK, and it was a good time for him Sun Quan to seize military power.

Under Zhang Hong and Zhou Xuan, the family vomited blood this time to gather the number of people, and recruited all the strong laborers that could not be taken out in the past.

The strong enemy invaded the territory, and the danger was imminent, and the Jiangdong family's decisive ability and transportation of strong men, the speed of grain and grassland was more than five times faster than before, and the domestic slaves in Huiji and Linhai also rushed to Jianye overnight.

In less than two days, the family really put together an army of 100,000 for Sun Quan, yes, it was a genuine 100,000 people, not miscellaneous labor, and the cattle and sheep of the army were also counted in the number.

Jia Xu attacked the city for several days, burned down the wharf along the river, from the mouth of the lake to the first line of Wuhu, it is difficult to find a wharf for the Jiangdong Navy to moor, leaving behind a post-war ruins.

Finally, after Jia Xu fought and conquered Wuhu City, Sun Quan led an army of 100,000 to conquer in person.

Sun Quan stationed troops in Shizigang, stepped up the construction of fortifications east of the Qinhuai River, and built a well-fence arrow tower to restrain cavalry. Jia Xu divided a partial division to disturb the attack, and at the same time stepped up to clear the checkpoint camp west of the Qinhuai River, wanting to defeat Sun Quan, otherwise Jia Xu's army not only could not force Sun Quan to withdraw to Xiangyang Zhou Yu's army, but Jia Xu instead sat in a dangerous city and became a burden on Lu Budi.

——————————————————

Zhang Liao went to Xiangyang day and night.

Guan Yu was surrounded by the Jiangdong army at the west gate, and he lost both advance and retreat.

On this day, Gan Ning still led the team to the city to call for battle. After several bloody battles, Guan Yu has fully understood the shamelessness of Jiangdong's generals, if one doesn't work, two will go to two, two will go to three, and if three can't work, they will hurt people with secret arrows. Who called Jiangdong can fight many generals, and Guan Yu can fight again, he is the only one, and he can't resist the endless group beatings.

Guan Yu, who was wounded, was really trapped in a lonely city, isolated and helpless, and the only thing he could do was to hold on to the city gate. And Pang Tong's several suggestions were not adopted by Guan Yu, so he returned to Jingnan in a fit of anger and went to be his county commander. Now Guan Yu has no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground.

Gan Ning saw that Guan Yu shrank his head and didn't come out, so he made people scold under the city. Guan Yu was furious and led his soldiers and horses to kill the city. Guan Yu was wounded, but Gan Ning was still invincible, so he pulled out his horse and left. Guan Yu chased after him, Zhou Tai and Xu Sheng led the drill out, and Gan Ning returned to attack again.

Guan Yu grabbed the road and wanted to go, but was intercepted again, and Guan Yu couldn't get out. The battle lasted until dark, and he still couldn't break out of the encirclement.

"Yanmen Zhang Liao is here, and the Jiangdong rats only know how to bully more and less!" Suddenly, a group of men and horses outside the West Gate under the banner of Zhang Liao, the general of the auxiliary country, came from the outside to the inside, and dozens of Xiliang men were fierce.

"Zhang Liao? Lu Bu is here! ”

When Guan Yu left the city gate, the Jiangdong army attacking the city gate was like frightened livestock, frightened, and avoided it one after another. Lu Lingqi was preparing grain and grass in Fancheng, and it was a matter of time before the Chang'an army went south to Jingzhou, but Zhang Liao suddenly appeared, so that the Jiangdong soldiers were not psychologically prepared.

Zhang Liao rushed straight to Guan Yu, and a short knife made a bloody path. Gan Ning and the others were very shocked that the Chang'an army came quickly and crossed the river without knowing it. It was at this moment of distraction that Guan Yu killed the crowd.

"Xiangyang can't be guarded, the clouds go quickly, and a certain one will be broken."
