The defensive position of the Wu army in the whole Xiling is half-moon shaped, in fact, the main force of the Wu army is deployed in the periphery, the purpose is to prevent the attack of the Han army from the north to the south, which is also the Zhou is too confident in his own naval army, thinking that in Xiling City, the Wu army does not need to invest too much defensive force, as long as there is a fleet of naval troops, the entire Xiling City is impregnable.

But this time, the Han army did not attack by land, but sent a naval army to drive straight into the Xiling fortress. The three lines of defense formed by iron cables, iron cones, and catapults were useless, and did not hinder the Han army's naval divisions in the slightest, and under the powerful firepower of the Han army, the Jiangdong naval army, which was once proud, became vulnerable, and the warships that were larger than the Han army's building ships could not withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of gunpowder crossbows, and were all sunk one after another.

In this case, Lu Jing was forced to retreat to Xiling, of course, Lu Jing had another choice, that is, to flee to Jiangling by boat, but as the governor of Xiling, what was his duty, how could he abandon the city and flee? Although he also understands that the result of staying will definitely be more than lucky, as a member of the Lu family, he can't afford the shame of escaping, and no matter how dangerous the situation is, he must stay and stick to it.

Under the powerful firepower of the Han army, the loss of Xiling was already a certainty, and Lu Jing was just fighting for the honor of the Lu family, using his life and blood to defend the dignity of the Lu family.

After the loss of Xiling, the defensive positions on the periphery of Xiling also lost the meaning of existence, and a large number of Wu troops fled and fled in the direction of Jiangling.

Wang Jun did not go ashore to clear the Wu army in the Xiling area, after all, he led only a naval army, if the landing operation, the combat effectiveness is naturally slightly inferior, and Wang Jun's greater offensive target is the important town of Jiangling, at this time the army led by Fu Yan has set off from Xiangyang and launched an attack on Jiangling City, and Wang Jun's naval army is needed to cooperate with the operation.

Conquering Xiling is equivalent to opening the west gate of Wu, the Jingchu Plain of Wu, and there is no danger to defend against.

When Lu Yan heard that his younger brother Lu Jingbing was defeated and died in Jiangling, he couldn't help but cry and cry.

Their Lu family, since Lu Yan's grandfather Lu Xun officially worshiped the governor of the capital, their Lu family's status in Jiangdong can be described as the sky, and the generals are in the prime minister, and they can be regarded as the ministers of the society.

It's a pity that Lu Kang died young, and Sun Hao, the lord of Wu, took advantage of the situation to suppress the Lu family, and the status of the Lu family was indeed greatly affected in those years.

But how deep the Lu family's heritage is, coupled with the two young geniuses of Lu Ji and Lu Yun, they succeeded in killing Sun Hao and set up a new emperor. This coup d'état made the Lu family even more successful, and went further, Lu Jibai was the left prime minister, Lu Yun was the right prime minister, Lu Yan was the left big Sima, Lu Jing was the right big Sima, and the four people of the Lu family worshiped the prime minister at the same time, and the scenery was unique for a while.

But the scenery of the Lu family is no match for the decline of the Wu State after all, the Wu State at this moment is like a broken ship full of holes and leaks, floating and sinking in the stormy waves, and there is always a danger of capsizing, and the Lu family is like a daughter sitting on the boat, although the status is noble, the clothes are gorgeous, and are admired by thousands of people, but when the ship sinks, all the glory and wealth will disappear.

Lu Jing's death undoubtedly sounded the death knell for the Lu family, no matter how prominent the lintel, no matter how prosperous the wealthy family, it can only be for the declining Eastern Wu regime to be buried.

At this time, the defeated army of Xiling fled to Jiangling, and Lu Yan contained it, although the strength of the army increased, but the Han army killed both land and water at the same time, Lu Yan still felt difficult.

Some generals suggested that Lu Yan withdraw from Jiangling, retreat east to Baqiu, and join up with the governor of Dadu, and then try a good strategy.

Lu Yan shook his head and said: "Under the nest, if there are no eggs, the country will die, and there will be no place to retreat." My brother will not retreat from the fight, and his name still exists, if I escape, I will humiliate the lintel of the Lu family. Then he ordered the city gate to be closed and strictly guarded to resist the Han army.

Fu He sent troops from Xiangyang, all the way south, invincible, the cities of Wu State on the way, were surrendered one after another, Fu Yan soldiers were bloodless, and they were killed until Jiangling City.

When Hu Ji besieged Xiling last year, he sent Fu He to send troops to Jiangling to contain the Wu army, at that time the conditions for attacking Wu were not mature, Fu Ji failed to attack Jiangling, and he returned with a feather, which also made Fu Ji secretly hold his breath and want to find this field, this time he led his troops to attack Jiangling again, and he was determined to win.

Today's situation is very different from last year, when Hu Ji's attack on Xiling suffered a crushing defeat, Fu Yi was unable to support it alone, and he really did not have the ability to take a fortified city like Jiangling. But now Liu Yin has led the army to march in a roundabout way, and the army takes Jingnan, which is equivalent to flowering in the hinterland of Wu State, and Wang Jun's naval army is even more victorious, conquering Xiling in one fell swoop.

Gangneung, like Seerung, is a city bordering the river. The city near the river has the advantage of being near the river, that is, when the enemy attacks by land, it cannot be completely surrounded, and the defenders can get assistance by water. But Linjiang is also the disadvantage of Linjiang, that is, once the waterway is blocked, it will be attacked by the enemy on the back of the belly, especially if the enemy's naval army is strong enough, this side of the water will definitely bear more pressure.

Wang Jun's building boats were all moored on the river outside Jiangling City, lined up, Wang Jun gave an order, and the fire crossbow arrows that spit out the tongue of fire flew to Jiangling City with a roar, although these fire crossbow arrows were not as dense as ordinary bows and arrows, but its destructive power was thousands of times that of ordinary bows and arrows, after dozens of fire crossbow arrows flew to the city, the entire Jiangling City soon fell into a sea of fire.

Fu Yan led the troops to take advantage of the situation to attack the city, the Wu army was already panicked, even if Lu Yan personally supervised the battle, it was difficult to resist the fierce offensive of the Han army, less than an hour, the north of Jiangling City had been opened, the Han army was swarming in, in one fell swoop into the city, the defenders could not resist, the situation of the entire Jiangling City took a sharp turn for the worse.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Lu Yan was unwilling to surrender and be humiliated, so he sighed a few times in the Jiangling Taishou Mansion, looked eastward, and killed himself with a horizontal sword. And his subordinates, seeing that Lu Yan was dead, the army's morale was discouraged, and their fighting spirit was lost, and they no longer had the idea of resisting, so they abandoned their weapons one after another, and Jiangling City became the second important town to fall after Xiling.
