The weather in Layue in the cold winter was severe, and the battle formations of the Wu army and the Han army in front of Zhijiang City were displayed, and they were ready to fight, and between the two parties, Guan Ping was embarrassed to avoid Zhang Ren's elusive gun, while on the other side, his father Guan Yu lightly blocked the combined attack of Gan Ning and Zhou Tai with a big knife. Two to one, sometimes it is not necessarily true that one plus one equals two, at most one point five, but it is better than Zhou Tai alone.

If it weren't for the generals who were proficient in the art of combined attacks to cooperate with each other, generally speaking, two fights and one would be difficult to exert their own strength because of the lack of tacit understanding between the two, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai in front of them are such cases, not to mention that these two are famous naval generals, and the horse war is even more rusty with each other, if it weren't for the superb strength of the two, I'm afraid it would be better than Gan Ning to fight Guan Yu alone! However, if it is Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, Guan Yu may still be defeated.

The horse lance is more powerful than the spear, Gan Ning is deep in the use of spiral strength, and every blow has a weird rotation, which gives Guan Yu a headache, and Zhou Tai on the side shows his bodyguard style, but whenever Guan Yu wants to fight hard, he will go up to the knife, and the rest of the time is to spin around, and if he doesn't attack, at most he will draw a cold shot.

"Hah!" Guan Yu suddenly sold a flaw and quit the battle circle. After fighting for so much fifty years, Guan Yu also knew that he couldn't help Zhou Tai and Gan Ning, but Guan Ping on the side was in danger, and he was already old and old and aging, compared to Gan Ning in his forties and Zhou Tai in his early fifties, he was already close to the sixtieth year, and his physical strength had long been gone. Therefore, after jumping out of the battle circle, he didn't say much about rushing into the gap between Zhang Ren and Guan Ping with the help of the horse, and opened Zhang Ren's spear with one hand, protecting Guan Ping and retreating into the formation.

"To bully more and less, a certain person is not afraid. Lu Boyan, if you want to take my Zhijiang City, even if you attack it, a certain person who happens to know and will only sneak attack from behind has some ability. Return! Guan Yu roared angrily and slowly returned to the city with his hundreds of sword and shield hands.

It's not that Lu Xun doesn't want to capture the city, but the city is full of crossbowmen, and the young cavalry of Eastern Wu only relies on infantry to seize the door is a joke, and they were shot into a sieve before they arrived.

"Set up camp and repair the three armies." Lu Xun watched Guan Yu return to the city and ordered to his sergeant.

The Wu army galloped and traveled a lot, and there was a lot of hard work, and it was better to let the soldiers recuperate and attack the city overnight, and after the repair was completed, they would attack the city on the waiting plane. Moreover, the order given by Qiao Ren was not a death order to capture Zhijiang, but to attack Zhijiang, according to Lu Xun's understanding, this was to distract Liu Bei, so that Lu Meng of Yiling could defeat Liu Bei's main force.

Before Liu Bei's army arrived at Yiling, Lü Meng withdrew from the camp to Yiling City, and kindly left the stockade fifteen miles outside the city to Liu Bei. To say that this village really occupies the geographical advantage, located on a low slope by the river, it is convenient to get water from a high position, and this section of the river is not afraid of flooding, even if it is really flooded, it will not flood this slope. In addition, there are no deep forests or mountains around here, and the field of vision is wide and boundless, which is really an excellent place for troops, just like specially prepared for Liu Bei.

And Liu Bei is not polite to directly garrison the army here, and he has gone through five days. Liu Bei looked at the sky that began to fall with light snow, and couldn't help sighing: "Filial piety, lonely for Kuang to help Han Qi, Rong Ma has no achievements in his life, and he is even more humiliated by Jiangdong children, deeply hateful, is it possible that God does not bless my big man?" ”

Looking at Liu Bei, who was faintly about to cry, the corners of Fa Zheng's mouth twitched, and some pale lips opened slightly: "Why should the lord worry too much, those who have attained the Tao will help those who have lost the Tao and will not help them, and Dongwu will shamelessly act as a villain, how can God bless him." Lord, you see the heavy snow in the sky, this year's severe winter is cold, Jingzhou soldiers and many Jiangdong and Jingnan people are not tolerant of bitter cold, and there will be epidemics in the spring. When the time comes, there will be a good opportunity to break the enemy. ”

"I don't know what happened to Shangyong?" Liu Bei touched the tears that didn't exist in the first place, and said: Shu Road is difficult to walk, Xiangyang is occupied by Eastern Wu, and the news of Shangyong is difficult to come, so I am very worried. “

"Don't worry, according to the information received by Liang, Cao Thief has withdrawn his troops back to Yecheng, and Xiangyang has ceded to Eastern Wu, Cao Ren wants to defend the Wu army on the Xiangyang side, how can he have the energy to attack Shangyong!" This time it was Ma Liang who answered, but he obviously forgot a possibility, that is, Eastern Wu sent troops to attack Shangyong, but in his opinion, this is impossible, Sun Ce is not Cao Ying's only three points in the world, and Eastern Wu does not have that force to fight in many ways.

"What Ji Chang said is very true, and what is more suspicious is that this is a stockade."

"What's wrong with this village." Liu Bei turned around and looked at this village, and felt that this village was not only topography but also very strong, nothing bad!

"It's not bad, it's just good. I can't understand why Lu Meng didn't burn it and why he left it to us. Fa Zheng's brows furrowed, this was what he couldn't figure out.

"But there's a conspiracy."

"Lord, this village is not available, there will be no conspiracy! It might make Lu Meng retreat in a hurry! Maleonti answered this question.

"Forget it, if the military advisor can't figure it out, don't think about it, let's discuss how to deal with Lu Meng in Yiling!"

・・・・・・・

In Yiling City, this was originally a residential area, but long before the Han army besieged the city, the Wu army suddenly requisitioned all the houses here, and all the residents were driven out. They are the people under Guan Yu, although they have no bad feelings towards Eastern Wu, but they also have no good feelings, not to mention that there may be relatives and friends among them in Guan Yu's Jingzhou army, so in Lu Meng's opinion, it is necessary to keep secrets and martial law.

A few days passed, and dozens of houses were quickly bulldozed and replaced by a military camp surrounded by high walls on all sides, and on the day the main Han army arrived at the camp outside the city, about a thousand soldiers settled in this mysterious military camp.

The reason why it is mysterious is because during the day it is quiet, as if no one is there, but at night it is like a different world, a bright light, from time to time there are horses in and out, the carriages are covered with linen, so that people can not guess what is being carried.

Most people thought that it was just an ordnance workshop with a strange schedule, and that most of the things that came out of the mysterious secrets of the gods at night were newly created arrows and the like.

"The Metropolitan Governor really has a clever plan, Liu Bei never imagined that our army would dig a tunnel under his feet!" Sun Yu was full of admiration, and he really admired Lu Meng for being able to come up with such a powerful plan within three days.

It turned out that Liu Bei, who Lu Meng left the camp, was indeed a sell-out, and he finished surveying the geology from the city to the camp within three days, and selected a place in the city to prepare to dig a tunnel ----- the map. Just imagine, in the dead of night, the Han army is all asleep, but the Wu army suddenly kills from the inside and sets fire everywhere.
