As he was lying on the head of the city and looking at the collapsed city wall, Ling Tong heard a gust of wind in his ears.

If it were someone else, he might subconsciously turn his head to see that Ling Tong was a military general whose reflexes were much better than ordinary people.

Hearing the wind, he didn't turn his head at all, and his face shrank back.

As soon as he retreated, he felt a strong wind blowing against his face, and a huge black shadow passed in front of his eyes, and the wind was so strong that he almost couldn't open his eyes.

Half a beat slower, and the boulder would smash into his head, smashing his head into a puddle of minced flesh.

With a gasp, Ling Tong actually felt his heart beat wildly.

The Jingzhou army outside the city was still projecting boulders, and the long arm of the catapult threw a huge stone at the Jiangdong city wall.

The Jiangdong Army on the city wall could only hide with its back against the battlements, and there was no chance to fight back at all.

After all, it is not an easy thing to transport boulders, the Jingzhou army next to the catapult, the speed of projection is much faster than the speed of transporting boulders, and when the sun sets, the catapult has finished throwing stones, and the boulders shot towards Jiangxia City are becoming more and more sparse.

At first, the density of the boulder projection was only a little looser than during the day, but in the end, after a while, a boulder flew towards Jiangxia City wrapped in a strong wind.

The Jiangdong army at the head of the city finally breathed a sigh of relief. Many of the soldiers leaned their backs against the battlements, looking up at the sky in distraction.

Including Ling Tong, everyone in the city was disgraced.

The huge boulders bombarded the city wall, and the puffs of smoke and dust that rose up, and after they dissipated, they left patches of gray white ash on people's heads and bodies.

Looking at the blood-stained sky stained by the setting sun, Ling Tong's gaze was a little hollow.

The number of Jiangdong troops under his command was not large, and in the earlier battles, a lot had been lost.

Defending Jiangxia City was originally an almost impossible task for them, and now the Jingzhou army has so many catapults that the battle is even more suspenseful.

"The enemy has temporarily stopped attacking the city at this time, perhaps only because of the lack of stones!" I don't know how long he was silent, Ling Tong said to the soldiers on the side: "Pass the order, the soldiers wait until it gets dark and the night is dark, and we will evacuate from the river!" ”

Hearing that they were going to evacuate, the soldiers waiting on the side were stunned for a moment and looked at Ling Tong in amazement.

Seeing that he hadn't yet delivered the order, Ling Tong said, "Why haven't you delivered the order yet?" ”

After being asked by Ling Tong, the soldiers came back to their senses, hurriedly answered, and turned around to convey the order.

Outside Jiangxia City, the Jingzhou army was still transporting large stones to the catapult.

The catapult gradually stopped projecting, waiting for more stones to gather.

Jiangxia City, which had been trembling all day, finally fell silent.

In the Jingzhou military camp, Wen Ping, Liu Qi and others stood in a place where they could see the Jiangxia city wall, looking at the city wall that was already full of holes.

"In this way, in two days, we will be able to break through Jiangxia!" Looking at the ruined Jiangxia City, Wen Ping said to Liu Qi and the others on the side: "Once the city wall collapses, our army can enter the city and attack the city immediately!" ”

"No!" Everyone responded, but they didn't say much.

They all knew very well that Wen Ping was right.

Judging from the bombardment effect during the day, Jiangxia City will be bombarded and collapsed in two or three days at most.

It is much easier to fight through a collapsed breach than to storm a wall.

The Jingzhou army and the Han army were numerous, and the guards of Jiangxia City were only thousands of Jiangdong naval troops.

The armor of the navy was thin and the weapons were poor, as long as the army rushed into the city, it would not take an hour for the entire city to be captured by the Jingzhou army and the Han army.

It was getting late and late, Jiangxia City was quiet, looking at the city wall from outside the city, the battle flag was fluttering, and the Jiangdong Army was still holding the city.

This was not the case in the city.

Thousands of Jiangdong troops quietly gathered on the bank of the Yangtze River, one by one they pushed into the water, whenever a small boat came, there would be more than a dozen Jiangdong troops jumped up, rowing a small boat to the center of the river.

More and more small boats entered the Yangtze River, and Ling Tong glanced back at the Jiangxia city wall and let out a long sigh.

The granary in the city has been opened by his order, and the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army have carried a lot of grain to the small boat.

Although Jiangxia City was not very rich, the food was enough for an army of tens of thousands of people to eat for twenty or thirty days, and the city was already about to be broken by the enemy, so Ling Tong was reluctant to leave the food for the Jingzhou army and the Han army outside the city.

More and more Jiangdong troops boarded the small boats, and one by one the small boats entered the center of the Yangtze River.

When Ling Tong jumped onto the boat, there were less than 100 Jiangdong troops left on the shore.

The people in the city didn't dare to go out during the day, not to mention that at night, the Jiangdong army retreated, and it turned out to be quiet, not only the Jingzhou army and the Han army outside the city didn't know, but even the people in the city didn't know.

Although the Jingzhou Navy will inspect the nearby river, it will be much more sparse at night.

The evacuation time chosen by the Jiangdong Army happened to be the interval between the inspections of the Jingzhou Navy Army, and their withdrawal was actually hidden from everyone.

The night passed quietly, and at dawn, the Jingzhou army outside the city once again launched a bombardment on the city wall.

The walls gasped and groaned under the bombardment of the boulders, and the walls collapsed in the smoke and dust.

The bombardment of the Jingzhou army lasted for three days.

They didn't notice anything wrong, and they didn't feel that the Jiangdong Army in the city had already withdrawn from Jiangxia City on the first night of the bombardment.

"Boom!" A boulder fell on the city wall, and the city wall, which had already been smashed loose, finally could not withstand the final blow, and collapsed a large area.

When the walls collapsed, the smoke and dust that filled the air were like a thick fog billowing out, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside the fog.

Countless stones were still pouring down on the walls, and smoke and dust were still permeating the perimeter of the walls.

The smoke and dust around the collapsed city wall gradually dissipated, and the new smoke and dust were not enough to cover the city wall, and a large gap appeared in the sight of Wen Ping and the generals.

Seeing that gap, Wen Ping was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Pass the order, stop the bombardment, and the whole army will attack the city!" ”

The order was issued, and it didn't take long for the bombardment of the Jingzhou army to gradually stop.

The soldiers of the Jingzhou army and the Han army, who had long been ready to attack the city, let out a burst of shouts and rushed towards the city wall while the bombardment stopped.

The soldiers were getting closer and closer to the city wall, and to Wen Ping's surprise, there were no arrows shot down by the Jiangdong Army on the city wall, and the entire Jiangxia City was quiet.

The Jingzhou army and the Han army, who rushed to the gap in the city wall, poured into the city one after another, and Wen Ping and others, who were watching the battle from afar, looked more and more ugly.

Too smooth lì!

Shun lì's is a little weird!

"Come on, lead the horse!" Looking at the army that was pouring into the city, Wen Ping felt that something was wrong in his heart, and gave an order to the soldiers behind him.

The soldiers answered, and then brought him a war horse.

After taking the war horse, Wen Ping turned over on the horse's back, carried a big knife, and did not greet Liu Qi and the others, and rushed straight to Jiangxia City.

Liu Qi and others saw Wen Ping rushing out, and they also got on their horses and rushed out of the barracks.

The gap in the collapse of the city wall was not very large, and the crowded soldiers of the Jingzhou army and the Han army fought their way into the city through the gap, some ran to the head of the city, and more rushed into the messy streets.

On the city wall that withstood the bombardment, many houses in the street were also smashed by boulders, the bluestone slabs on the road were also smashed a lot, and many boulders were scattered on the street.

Jiangxia City, under the bombardment of the Jingzhou army, was in chaos, and the whole city was like a strange place of death, making people feel that there was no breath of the living.

Some Jingzhou soldiers ran to the front of the houses, kicked open the door and broke in.

The people they brought out from the houses were all the people in the city, and there was no figure who looked like the Jiangdong Army.

More and more soldiers poured into the city, and soon the entire Jiangxia City was full of soldiers running to search for the Jiangdong Army.

Walking along the streets of the city, the deeper you go, the cleaner the city, and the more complicated the mood of the clerk becomes.

Jiangxia City is leaning on the Yangtze River, and if the Jiangdong army wants to escape, as long as they enter the river at night, the army besieging the city has no way to deal with them.

What made Wen Ping a little annoyed was that if the Jiangdong Army had withdrawn, the Jingzhou Navy patrolling the river should not have been unaware, but the Navy Army had not sent him any news about the Jiangdong Army at all.

When did they withdraw?

"General, there is not half of the Jiangdong Army in the city, and the treasury has been emptied by them!" As he was walking along the street, a fast horse came to him, and the Jingzhou army on horseback came to Wen Ping's approach, and he hugged his fists and reported to him about the investigation in the city.

Furrowing his brows, Wen Ping asked the officer, "Have you asked the people in the city, when did the Jiangdong Army withdraw?" ”

"Asked!" Maintaining a fist-clenching posture, the officer responded: "The people only know that they have not seen the Jiangdong Army in the city for the past few days, and no one knows when they will withdraw!" ”

"What a slippery fish!" Grinning helplessly, Wen Ping said to the officer: "Pass the order, don't harass the people in the city, and our army will take over the city immediately." The collapsed city wall also recruited people from the people, so that they could build it! ”

"No!" The officer answered, and turned around and left.

Wen Ping's words were relaxed, but his mood was not relaxed.

The Jiangdong Army has withdrawn, and even if he is depressed, he will not show anything.

The news of the capture of Jiangxia by the Jingzhou army reached the ears of Pang Tong in Xiangyang a few days later.

Knowing that Jiangxia was recaptured by the Jingzhou army, a faint smile appeared on Pang Tong's face.

His appearance is very ugly, and even the cheeks on both sides are asymmetrical, and the smile on his face is easy to give people a weird feeling.

Chen Gong and Lu Bu, who were sitting on the side, had solemn faces.

The Jiangdong army attacked Zhou Yu's army, and they were able to take Jiangxia with them, which shows that they are not completely without combat power, and they do not think that it will be a very easy thing to conquer Jiangdong.
