Surprise attack on Gangneung

Liu A was very unwilling to glance at the treasury that was burning with fire at this time, and stomped his feet, "Retreat, go to the public security" Liu A said these words with difficulty, but what he didn't expect was that the retreat would be even more difficult.

Liu Acai and his family had just come to the gate, but Zhuge Qiao had just arrived, "Catch any of them, you can't let them go," Zhuge Qiao pointed to Liu A and his party and said.

With only one charge, the Wu army, which had been frightened, was defeated, and Liu A naturally became a prisoner, perhaps he is now regretting why he didn't run faster, why he was so hesitant!

"Who is Taishou Liu, stand up!" Zhuge Qiao shouted at them. I saw a rather strong man with his head bowed walking out, "I'm Liu A."

"Would you like to surrender," Zhuge Qiao asked

"Lord Wu treats me well, I can't betray him" Liu A's answer seemed very slow.

"Come on, drag Liu A out and behead him," Zhuge Qiao shouted

"General and slow, I know Liu A, and I will persuade you to surrender one or two" Zeng Cheng saw that Liu A was unwilling to surrender, and when Zhuge Qiao was about to be killed, he suddenly stood up.

"Give you a quarter of an hour, remember that it's only a quarter of an hour" Zhuge Qiao agreed with Zeng Cheng's opinion, but he was afraid that he would delay the time, in fact, Zhuge Qiao had already planned to let him surrender.

"Lord Taishou, do you know me," Zeng Cheng said as he approached Liu A

"You, aren't you the county guard Zeng Kaiqi," Liu A said in surprise

After that, Zeng Cheng deliberately approached Liu A, and he didn't know what he said, only for a moment Zeng Cheng retreated; Liu Ah immediately knelt on the ground, "General, Liu Ah is willing to surrender."

"The one who knows the times is Junjie, Liu Taishou surrendered, and added a big boost to our army, and asked Taishou to immediately rush to the city gate so that the rest of the soldiers can also return to their hearts, and let them immediately go to the front of the house to concentrate" Zhuge Qiao smiled and helped Liu A.

"This nature" is said; You Jufu escorted Liu A to the gates of each city to surrender the rest of the Wu soldiers who were still resisting. For nearly an hour, the entire Wuling City finally returned to calm, and in the hall of the Taishou Mansion; Zhuge Qiao sat in the position of Taishou, "General, because it is now upright, it is very difficult to count the soldiers, and now there are only more than 1,500 soldiers gathered," Liu A reported.

"Zhuge Guard, there are still 2,000 people left in our army, and they have all gathered at the gate of the mansion at this time," Yamen general Cai Ji also reported.

Zhuge Qiao listened to their report and calculated, he can mobilize nearly 3,500 people now, if you add the 1,000 people in Qin Jie who are still on the road, there are 4,500 people; Immediately made him happy, but thinking about their goal of the tall Public Security City, the more than 4,000 people in their hands seemed to be insignificant.

"Where is Cai Ji and Jufu"

"The Last Will Be"

"Order the two of you to lead 1,500 people from the headquarters and more than 1,500 people who have just joined our army, set off overnight and go straight to the public security city," Zhuge Qiao commanded.

"Liu Taishou, you also go with the army, you are our biggest support for this plan," Zhuge Qiao said to Liu A after he finished speaking.

"I should be ordered to do so," Liu Aying said;

"The soldiers are fast, set off immediately; General Deng Jian Wuling City will be handed over to you," Zhuge Qiao walked up to Deng Jian and patted him on the shoulder.

"The city is in the people" Deng Jian only said this sentence to show his determination, and Zhuge Qiao and the rest of the generals who had tasks left the hall in a hurry.

According to Zhuge Qiao's arrangement, he and Liu A led five hundred elite Han troops wearing Wu army armor and rushed to the public security as a defeated army, while Ju Fu and Cai Ji led the army behind, and the two armies kept a distance of about 30 miles apart, and shortened the distance when they approached the public security city wall as soon as possible, pretending that the Wu army was defeated and was chased by the Han army, and opened the city gate of the public security.

Gong'an City is now a county seat under Nanjun, west of Bashu, south of Wuling Hengyang, north of Jiangling, since ancient times for the soldiers must fight for the place, Jian'an thirteen years, Liu Bei led Jingzhou Mu, camped at the mouth of the Youjiang River, changed Xiaoling to Gong'an County, trying to dominate the industry, so the name of Gong'an County is still taken by Liu Bei that year, and it is also Liu Bei's seat in Jingzhou, but then moved to Jiangling, and it is also the second largest town after Jiangling in Nanjun.

On the road from Dangyang to Jiangling, nearly 8,000 Han soldiers were moving forward, led by Fu Tong, who had captured Dangyang City before, why would he lead a lone army towards Jiangling. It turned out that before Liu Bei led the army to attack Yidao City, Fu Tong and Zhang Yi led 10,000 soldiers to leave the army, and marched towards Dangyang, and then attacked the empty Jingzhou City;

This is Liu Bei's own will and did not consult with anyone, because where did he learn from the scouts about the battle of Lanyan, the Wu army is to mobilize most of the troops in Jingzhou, at this time Jiangling is only more than 3,000 defenders, it is a golden opportunity, Liu Bei plans to send a surprise army, directly attack Jiangling, if Jiangling City falls, then the battle of Jingzhou is decided.

Fu Tong calculated the distance and said silently, "It will take another day to see the city wall of Jiangling, and success or failure is here."

It was another day of rising in the east and setting in the west, and on this day, Fu Tong's 8,000 men and horses finally came to the city of Jiangling at the end of dusk; It seems that the castle tower has been prepared for a long time, after all, you are walking in other people's territory, and people don't know it. But Fu Tong was not the slightest timid, nor was he ready to set up camp and wait for tomorrow's siege; The commander of the army lined up the siege array, because this was a strange army, naturally did not carry large siege equipment such as catapults, ladder trucks, etc., only carried simple ladders, three-bow bed crossbows and Hao bridge.

With Fu Tong's order, the front shield soldiers began to advance slowly, they carried a three-bow bed crossbow, as if they wanted to make it closer to the city wall, but they came to the range of the Wu army's bow and arrows, in the face of the suppression of the Wu army's arrows, the Han army did not stop at the slightest and still advanced slowly with the shield, and the Han army stopped advancing at a position of nearly a hundred meters to the city wall, and loaded the three-bow bed crossbow with arrows, and then more than a hundred arrows shot straight towards the Wu army with the sound of whirring wind.

It is strange that the arrows of the three-bow crossbow did not shoot at the tower, but at the city wall; They all pierced into the city wall, and many arrows were nailed to the stones of the city wall and were bounced out, but there were still some arrows that pierced into it steadily; There were a few more showers of arrows, and the targets were all city walls, just moving a little up and down.

After dozens of rounds of arrow shooting, there were nearly a thousand arrows on the city wall at this time, but I don't know why the Han army did this; Fu Tong gave an order, and the sword and shield soldiers resisted the Hao Bridge and rushed to the city wall again, and set up on the moat.

The bridge is also a kind of ancient siege equipment, which is used to cross the moat, and is built on both sides of the moat, so that their soldiers can cross the moat and attack the city directly.

As soon as the bridge was built, the sword and shield soldiers behind were preparing to attack the city with the ladder, and the heavy crossbows behind them also began to shoot non-stop at the city tower to suppress the attack of the city tower. A siege battle is about to begin, but the Han army has a full 8,000 elites, while the Wu army is only guarded by 3,000 county soldiers, but it has a tall city wall as a protection, which is indeed a gamble for the Han army.
