Chapter 196: Little Joe

Chaisang is a big city, and the city is both tall and thick. It is better than Wuchang City. Under Zhou Yu's management, the total population of the four cities in the Chaisang area was 120,000, which was 20,000 more than that of Jiangxia County.

Dense population equals prosperity.

When Chen Da and others led the troops to the vicinity and saw many people farming, they only felt pleasantly surprised. This area has a large population, it is really prosperous, and compared with Jiangxia, it is really rich here.

During the march, the two glanced at each other, and the ** that took down this city and dedicated it to Liu Feng became even stronger.

"By the way, we don't have siege equipment, what should we do?" The outline of the city is already faintly visible. Suddenly, Zhang Guang remembered this, and couldn't help but look pale.

This city is a turtle, and this siege machine is like a knife, how can you cut a turtle without a knife. On the road just now, they met some spies, and the two sides had clashed once, and it was impossible for them not to be found in the direction of the city.

"Find a carpenter." Chen Da is much more experienced than Zhang Guang, and he simply spit out two words.

Fang Village is located about a mile west of Chaisang City, almost close to the city. So the people of this village are relatively rich.

Chaisang is located on the edge of Panyang Lake, which is also an important place for training naval forces in Jiangdong, and the shipbuilding industry is very developed and the competition is also fierce.

Some shipbuilders could not adapt to the fierce competition and ended up being reduced to carpenters.

One of them is the old man Deng of Fangcun, who is 45 years old this year, worked as a boatman when he was young, and later changed his career to become a carpenter because his skills were really half a bucket of water.

Halfway through the monk, it is not as hard as the orthodox carpenter's skills. So I can only eat in the village. With his two sons, he made some ordinary wooden pieces for Fang Village and nearby villages.

I thought that my whole life was like this.

But today, when the time came, a group of very fierce and fierce soldiers broke into Fang Village, and under a burst of questioning, Old Man Deng's home was confessed.

At this time, the old man Deng took his two sons to work as a carpenter at home, and a strong man with arms thicker than his thighs kicked his door and walked in. He dropped a golden cake.

"I want you to build a ladder." He said this in a rough voice.

"Okay." Old man Deng didn't care about the door, and nodded busily. After carefully picking up the gold, Old Man Deng asked, "How long and wide is the ladder you want?" How many planes? ”

"Generally wide, as tall as Chaisang City." The strong man's words made Old Man Deng stunned.

Chaisan City? "You, who are you?" Old man Deng's hands trembled, and his face turned pale.

Of course, this strong man is Zhang Guang, who was impatient for a while when he heard this, and threatened: "Don't talk nonsense, I dare time." If you do, the gold is yours. If you don't comply, I'll kill your whole family. ”

"Yes. Be. Old man Deng shuddered, and quickly nodded.

Three and a half barrels of water were built by carpenters, and Zhang Guang and others helped cut the wood. Twenty rough ladders were built.

It took less than half an hour.

Chen Da and the two of them, led the Divine Arm Battalion, the Broken Military Camp, and twenty cloud ladders, and pounced on Chaisang City.

Although it only took less than half an hour, it took some time after all. When Chen Da and the others came to the outside of Chaisang City, Chaisang City not only closed its gates, but also took precautions.

At the head of the city, there was also a general in armor.

"Rest for a while and prepare for the siege." Chen Da didn't pay attention to it, according to Liu Feng and Pang Tong, Zhou Yu should have done his best to defend the city, and there would not be too many people guarding the city at all.

"No." Zhang Guangying was loud, took the lead in taking out dry food, and ate it.

The general standing at the head of the city is called Fa Cang, and he is a Sima under Zhou Yu's account. The status is not high, otherwise he would not have seen that he would definitely be able to make meritorious contributions to the front to protect the city.

Facang never dreamed that Zhou Yu personally led 9,000 elite soldiers, and attacked Liu Feng, who had not gained a stable foothold, and returned defeated, in his heart, even if he didn't win or lose, he would not be defeated.

But the scene in front of him made Facang's heart tremble.

If Zhou Yu is undefeated, if Zhou Yu's army is still there, how can he allow an army from another side to arrive here?

In fact, Chen Da and they were discovered very early. Because it was a time of war, Facang had the habit of sending spies to inspect movements within a five-mile radius of the vicinity.

When the spies came to report that they had spotted the enemy. Facang didn't believe it at first, but now he had to believe it.

"What the hell is going to do? Am I surrendering? Or is it better to stick to it? Surrender can save your life, and perseverance can make meritorious service. Fa Cang hesitated.

It's just that slowly in Facang's heart, the idea of sticking to it slowly gained the upper hand. His status is not high, and it stands to reason that he can only be a Sima for the rest of his life.

But this is a rare opportunity, this city is not only an important city in Jiangdong, but also Zhou Yu's family. If it is kept, it will be a great feat.

Moreover, Facang glanced at the army under the city, tattered, covered in blood, as if he had just experienced the big tent.

Disdainful in his heart, Facang had great confidence in defending the city.

"Can you shoot that guy down?" While Facang looked at Chen Da and the others with disdain, Chen Da pulled a soldier from the Divine Arm Battalion and asked.

"As long as the distance is enough, you can shoot down." The soldier of the Divine Arm Battalion nodded.

"Okay, wait a minute, you shoot that man down with some good soldiers, and after you shoot down, the city will basically be ours. When I come to see my lord, I will ask for credit for you. Chen Da nodded and said.

"No." The soldier was overjoyed and said loudly.

Soon, the soldiers were all on dry food and ready to go.

Looking at Chaisang City in front of him, Chen Da's heart was hot. Loudly shouted: "Siege." ”

"Kill." With a loud shout of killing, the soldiers of the broken barracks carried extremely rough ladders and slaughtered towards Chaisang City.

"They are only a few hundred people, and if they defend the city, General Zhou will definitely be rewarded." Seeing that Chen Da had attacked, Facang couldn't help but shout.

"No." Hearing that there were many rewards, the guards of the city were also hot in their hearts and shouted. It also boosted morale a lot.

The few archers shot arrows at the city, and for a time it was like a rain of arrows. Many soldiers were shot by arrows and fell.

"Shoot." However, Chen Da and the others advanced faster, braving the rain of arrows, and soon advanced to a distance of fifty steps from the city. Chen let out a low snort.

A few soldiers of the Divine Arm Battalion accompanying him drew arrows, bent bows, and shot arrows. In one go, it has some of Huang Zhong's style.

"Flutter, flutter, flutter." Determined to defend the city, almost instantaneously, he was hit by three arrows, one of which was fatal, shooting through the edge of his neck.

"Bump." Facang was a little incredulous and frightened, and the whole person shook a little, and actually fell from the city.

"Bump." There was a loud bang.

The arrows on the head of the city stopped abruptly. The morale of the guards, who had just been promoted, fell into a trough almost all at once.

"Kill." On the contrary, Chen Da and others were murderous.

The Keeper is dead, and the rest is pretty straightforward. Chen Da and the others set up a ladder and entered the city almost effortlessly.

Most of them, except for a few who resisted, surrendered. When Chen Da and the others stood at the head of the city, they roughly swept it, and there were only about one or two hundred guards.

From this, you can peek at how far Zhou Yu attacked Jiangxia and exhausted his elite soldiers.

"Tie up the guards and take control of the gates." After glancing at it, Chen Da quickly gave the order. Now that the city has been captured, the important thing is no longer to attack the city, but how to defend the city.

to serve as an important stronghold after Liu Feng entered the army. Encroach on the other three cities.

"Why are you going?" Chen Da, who was commanding the soldiers to control the city gate and planning to divide the army into three divisions and capture the remaining three city gates, suddenly saw Zhang Guang with fifty people from his headquarters heading down the city.

"Zhou Yu has been operating in Chaisang for several years, and it is impossible for his family to be absent. I heard that Jiangdong Erqiao Guose glaze, we got the city, if we dedicate the beauty to the lord again, wouldn't it be more meritorious? Zhang Guang turned around and said, and then said hurriedly: "Don't say it, if you delay the time, let that little Qiao escape with his family." But it's a big loss. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Guang hurriedly marched towards the city with his soldiers. Chen opened his mouth widely, but finally did not speak, because this was indeed a credit.

Under the leadership of the descendants, Zhang Guang soon came to the outside of Zhou Yu's mansion.

The plaque of the mansion has the word "Zhou Mansion" written on it, and the main gate is currently closed. I don't know if that little Joe escaped. Although Zhang Guang was a little anxious in his heart, he still gave orders in an orderly manner.

"Divided into ten teams and blocked all the back doors. The rest banged the door with me. ”

"No." With the loud sound of the order, the soldiers who broke the barracks slammed the door and broke the house as if attacking the city.

In the hall of the Zhou Mansion, there was a beautiful woman.

The blue close-fitting coat not only shows the noble temperament, but also outlines the almost perfect figure. The waist-length hair adds a bit of softness to her.

Coupled with a smooth and delicate face and a pair of glass-like eyes, it looks soft everywhere. But suppleness is only her appearance, and anyone who is familiar with her can detect a trace of hardness in her black eyes without a trace of variegation.

She is none other than Xiao Qiao, one of the two Qiao in Jiangdong. At this moment, Xiao Qiao's eyes were a little worried.

Facang discovered the movements of Chen Da and the others very early, but he was in the process of surrendering or holding on, and it was difficult to choose. Therefore, he did not tell Xiao Qiao the truth.

But at the head of the city, when there were shouts of killing, Xiao Qiao sensed that something was wrong, and immediately ordered the servants to close the door of the mansion. No one is allowed to come or go.

Immediately, I could only wait anxiously for the situation to develop.

When Zhang Guang led people to break the door, the loud bang made Xiao Qiao's face lose its blood color all of a sudden.

In Chaisang City, Zhou Yu has the highest status. No one dares to break the house, and now someone breaks the house, which means that it is lost.

"What's wrong with Gong Jin?" Xiao Qiao was worried at first, and then asked himself, "What should I do?" ”
