After Ma Chao crossed the Yangtze River, 100,000 troops were divided into three teams to attack Gong'an and Wuling County respectively, and the third team swept away Sun Jian's Jiangdong defenders on the west bank of Dongting Lake. The public security was captured in one fell swoop, and the west bank of Dongting Lake was caught off guard and found nearly 30,000 turquoise cavalry to sweep mercilessly. Ma Chao personally led 40,000 iron cavalry to surround Wuling County, and Wuling Taishou Jinxuan closed the city gate and resisted Ma Chao's army with 20,000 people's troops.

Ma Chao went to the city to challenge, but Jin Xuan turned a deaf ear and did not fight.

At the same time, the 20,000 naval army led by Zhou Tai was heading south at full speed, and the 10,000 infantry army led by Cheng Pu was also on the way to Nanjun.

Ma Chao saw that Jin Xuan refused to fight, so he had to order a large army to attack the city. Because the blue wolf army is a cavalry force, and it is from afar, it can only use the simplest cloud ladder to storm the city wall, rushing on three sides, the sound of killing is shocking, one by one the cloud ladders are set up on the city wall, thousands of blue wolf army temporarily attached along the wall, the rolling stones and trees on the city wall rained down, the blue wolf army suffered heavy casualties, and could not rush to the city. It's not that the blue wolf army can't fight hard, it's really that these cavalry soldiers don't like to attack the city.

The army attacked for a day and lost almost a thousand men, but did not make any progress and could only temporarily withdraw its troops and return to the camp.

When the defenders in the city saw that Lu Bu's army had retreated, they all shouted excitedly, and Jin Xuan couldn't help but feel that Lu Bu's army's combat strength was nothing more than that!

The sky gradually darkened, the noisy battlefield calmed down, and the camp of Lu Bujun's army outside the city was lit up, reflecting Wuling City.

Jin Xuan stood on the city wall and looked at the military camp of Lu Bujun outside the city, with a thoughtful look on his face. The civil official on the side said: "My lord, Lu Bujun's new move is defeated, it is better to take the opportunity to go out of the city and rob the camp, if you can succeed, you can succeed in a battle, the lord will definitely reuse the adult, and those veterans will also have to look at the adult's face!" Jin Xuan's heart moved, and he immediately ordered the elite of the people's army to be assembled.

In the middle of the night, the heavens and the earth were silent, except for the night owl that made a chirp from time to time.

At this moment, the north gate of the city quietly opened, and Jin Xuan led five thousand elite civilian troops out of the city, and the people were holding horses and bells, and only the heads of people and the sound of people's panting were seen in the dark night.

Five thousand men and horses quietly approached the gate. When they came closer, several sharpshooters stepped forward to shoot an arrow at the sentry on the gate, and saw that the sentry had been hit by several arrows and leaned against the railing, and the spear in his hand fell.

Jin Xuan was happy and waved his hand. Dozens of sergeants immediately stepped forward, moved the horses outside the gate and opened the gate, and then 5,000 men and horses lit up their torches and shouted and poured into the gate.

The soldiers who rushed into the camp rushed into the tents, only to find that all the tents were empty, not even half a person. Jin Xuan was startled and hurriedly ordered a retreat, but at this moment, a torch suddenly lit up all around and a shout sounded, and tens of thousands of blue wolf army horsemen had already surrounded them.

The Golden Swirl army was flustered. Jin Xuan yelled, "Rush out." Then the five thousand men and horses shouted violently and rushed towards the gate.

The blue wolf army rushed to throw spears, and countless spears blew a storm, blowing so that the flames of the torches were almost extinguished, crackling and loud, countless Jiangdong troops were shot to the ground, the scene was chaotic, and the Yangtze River reverberated in the control. At this moment, the war drums of the Lu Bu army sounded, and the two thousand assault horsemen let go of their war horses and launched a fierce charge! The iron cavalry swung into the enemy's bushes, like a wave rolling grass seedlings, seeing the Jiangdong army fall one after another, the sword light reflected the firelight, and the blood and water flew all over the sky!

Jin Xuan rushed out of the gate with more than a dozen personal soldiers, and when he saw more than a dozen horsemen blocking the road, he rushed forward without thinking. The dozen or so horsemen immediately raised their bows and arrows to shoot, only to hear a swishing sound, and the selected soldiers around them dismounted one after another. Jin Xuan was horrified and rushed forward at the leading knight. The leading knight was dressed in a silver chain armor, wearing a unicorn beast helmet, wearing a dark cloak, carrying a black iron pure steel horse lance, and under his crotch was a black shadow horse, this knight was none other than the commander of the Blue Wolf Army, Ma Chao.

Jin Xuan ran in front of Ma Chao, roared and raised his big knife to slash Ma Chao. Ma Chao lifted the horse lance, only one block, only to hear a loud noise, and the big knife in Jin Xuan's hand was shocked and flew out. Jin Xuan was horrified in his heart, and before he could react, Ma Chao swung his horse lance and swept violently, and the horse lance hit Jin Xuan's war horse's head heavily. I only heard the neighing and mournful cry of the war horse, and fell to the ground to one side, and lifted the golden spiral off. Jin Xuan rolled like a gourd on the ground, hurriedly got up, and was shocked to find that several spears had reached the throat and chest points. Jin Xuan swallowed his saliva, not even daring to move his fingers.

Ma Chao rode to the front, glanced at him, and shouted, "Tie up!" ”

Several soldiers immediately stepped forward and overturned the golden bundle.

The defenders of the city saw that the battle outside the city had come to an end, but their own horses had not returned, and they were very worried.

At this moment, I saw a soldier and horse of three or four thousand people rushing straight to the city, and the one sitting on the horse was their Taishou Jin Xuan, and an unknown general was close to him.

When the soldiers and horses came to the city, an officer came out and shouted, "Taishou is back, open the city gate quickly!" ”

When the sergeant of the city saw the golden swirl, he did not suspect it, and immediately opened the city gate.

The gates opened, and more than 3,000 people immediately poured in.

The civil official who had offered advice earlier hurriedly greeted him and asked with a smile: "My lord, I don't know what the results of the battle were?" "Jin Xuan was hesitant, not daring to speak or move. The general next to him suddenly swung a knife, cutting the civil official to the ground, and then shouted: "Do it!" The soldiers of the army immediately attacked the enemy at the city gate like a tiger out of the box, and the Jiangdong army was all stunned, and they were killed so that they could not form an army on their backs. Lü Bu's army quickly took control of the city gates. It turned out that this army was not the Jiangdong Army at all, but the elite of more than 3,000 blue wolf troops led by Ma Tie.

Ma Tie seized the city gate, immediately opened the city gate and sent out a fireworks signal.

The Blue Wolf Army and the main force, which had been waiting outside the city for a long time, immediately poured into the city. The Jiangdong Army defending the city was only a temporary conscripted civilian army, and suddenly found that the enemy brigade had entered the city, and they didn't want to resist at all, and scattered one after another. The Blue Wolf Army soon occupied the entire city of Wuling City.

After occupying Wuling City, Ma Chao sent people to patrol the whole city and post notices on the other hand.

The Jiangdong Army, which was rushing to the aid of Wuling, suddenly received the news of the loss of Wuling, and stopped in Nanjun one after another, and at the same time sent people to report Sun Jian to Xiangyang.

Sun Jian was shocked when he received the report, but he also felt that it was really expected. In accordance with Zhou Yu's construction, Sun Jian ordered the southern counties to recruit soldiers and horses to defend as much as possible in the local area, and at the same time strengthen the garrison in the direction of the southern counties.
