Chapter 635: Mengde suffers
"What about you? How to choose? The head of the Yu family looked at the other three families with a face that was not as good as before.
"I, I don't agree with this approach, and I'm willing to quit, but don't worry, I will definitely not tell the truth."
"Hmph." The head of the Yu family snorted dissatisfiedly.
The three family masters who disagreed, naturally imprisoned, before the matter was determined, it was impossible for anyone to get out of this room, even if the Yu family master agreed, others would definitely not agree, the rebellion was not a child's house, after Liu Bei and Liu Pan learned about it, the first thing was to lead the soldiers to come and clean up.
"Cao Jun will answer outside the city when he arrives, we are like this" The head of the Yu family had already thought of a plan and said it slowly, and the other family masters in the field, seeing that there was no omission, nodded in agreement.
Late at night, Jiangling City was exceptionally quiet, and the first thing Liu Pan did after entering the city was to impose a curfew, and after dark, everyone had to return to their homes immediately, but anyone who walked around the street would be killed.
During the war, it is normal to use this method, and the people in the city did not have the mood to resist at first, but after a long time, not only the merchants were not happy, but the people did not agree, many of the people in the city relied on their own crafts or did odd jobs for the merchants to earn their families, and such a closed city, the people's homes have long been left with surplus food, and the merchants have lost a lot of consumers, and the resistance is naturally great, but these are all in the dark, and the people's choice has always been to accept it.
It is useless to resist just by words, and the sabers and guns of the defenders in the city are shaking, and whoever dares to speak out against them can only talk about it behind his back and get over it.
The night was like ink, and three hundred black-clothed people walked out of the Yu family master's mansion, and under the cover of the night, they slowly walked towards the direction of the city gate.
I have to say that the methods of the Yu family master, from the Yu family to the patrol soldiers in the city gate area, he has long been familiar with it, and he usually does not miss a little, and there are not a few who secretly take refuge in the Yu family, so that when the three hundred people approached the city gate, they did not arouse the vigilance of the soldiers.
Not only is it as simple as three hundred black-clothed people sneaking up on the city gate, in order to be foolproof, the Yu family master asked several other family heads to send the dead soldiers in the family to constantly create chaos in the city and provide opportunities for the most elite black-clothed people.
It is said that such a strategy can be described as seamless, but there is a problem with the generals guarding the city, the guard of the east gate is a general in Liu Bei's army, dutiful, and when he saw the people coming in the night from afar, he was already alert, and immediately ordered the soldiers to tell Liu Bei.
The man in black is a dead soldier of the family, and after the usual training, he is not afraid of death, and after arriving at the city gate, he didn't say too much, and he fought directly, on one side was a well-trained soldier, and on the other hand, he was a soldier who was not afraid of death, and the battlefield heated up rapidly.
At the same time that the man in black attacked the city gate, there was a chaotic situation everywhere in the city, and the private soldiers of the family were not afraid to meet the patrolling soldiers in the city, and the general patrol soldiers were three or five people at most, and the team of more than 100 people encountered only a few who dared to draw their swords directly, and most of them still hurried to report the news here.
"Sir, there is chaos in the east, west, south and north of the city, and there are constantly patrol soldiers being attacked." Liu Bei frowned, anxious in his heart, all the family backgrounds were in Jiangling, and he naturally didn't want any mistakes in Jiangling.
Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, then exclaimed: "Lord, it's not good, I'm afraid it's the family in the city that colluded with Cao Jun to open the city gate and quickly send soldiers to the city gates." "The matter is critical, and Zhuge Liang has lost his previous personable appearance.
"Order, let General Zhang return the general to the big tent quickly." Liu Bei ordered.
The resistance of the defenders of the East City Gate is very tenacious, these soldiers have followed Liu Bei for many years, and they have fought all over the world, what kind of scene has not been seen, although there are only fifty or sixty soldiers in their hands, the gatekeeper general still has enough confidence to be able to repel these black-clothed people, after a short fight, the gatekeeper general is a little dismissive of the combat effectiveness of the black-clothed man, with such a man, and he also wants to sneak attack the city gate, but he is just a dead man with a bloody heart.
Fifty or sixty soldiers have become an insurmountable chasm in the eyes of the man in black, and no matter how hoarse the Yu family master in the rear roars, he will never be able to break through.
There are fewer and fewer defenders, no matter how the men in black don't know how to cooperate, but they have an advantage that the defenders don't have, that is, they are not afraid of death.
After losing more than 100 people, the defenders only had more than 20 people, and they only needed to seize control of the city gate with one blow.
"Kill!"
"Kill all these traitors."
The head of the Yu family was shocked, "Zhang Fei? This signboard-like roar is no stranger to the people in the city, and such a loud voice can be heard even if Zhang Fei is in the east of the city, and the people in the west of the city can hear it.
More than 100 cavalrymen, under the leadership of Zhang Fei, slaughtered the men in black, but in a moment's effort, they killed the team of the men in black.
The fire that ignited in the city was extinguished by the defenders, and the boiling Gangneung gradually fell silent.
Cao Jun saw that the noise in the city was getting smaller and smaller, Cao Cao's face was very ugly, Jiangling was very important, but he didn't sleep late at night, just waiting for good news to come ahead, so as to capture Jiangling in one fell swoop.
"Lord, could it be that the head of the Yu family didn't do things closely enough and was discovered by the defenders in the city?" Xi Zhicai stepped forward.
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Impossible, judging from the strategy passed by the head of the Yu family, there is no omission, and the Yu family is quite powerful in the city, and the chances of winning are great if they unite with other families, so wait and see." ”
"My lord, the gates are open, the gates are open." Xun Yu stayed outside the tent, and after getting the latest news from the soldiers in front, he hurriedly walked into the big tent, dancing with his hands, how could he have half the demeanor that Wang Zuozhi should have.
"The order was given, the tiger and leopard cavalry immediately entered the city, and the three armies prepared to attack Gangneung." Cao Cao ordered that the fighter plane was fleeting, and it could capture Jiangling at the smallest cost, and it must not be let go.
The gates were wide open, and torches were waving over the city, until the sound of rumbling horses' hooves was heard, and darkness gradually returned.
Xiahou Dun frowned, at this time, Jiangling City was like a flood beast with a big mouth open, and he was a little uneasy in his heart, but he still led the soldiers to kill the city gate without hesitation.
The five hundred tiger and leopard cavalry had just broken into the city gate, and they were greeted by a dense rain of arrows, and the cavalry lost dozens of people by surprise.
Every soldier of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was selected as strictly as the Xiliang Army, and the intensity of training was also very large, in order to capture Jiangling, Cao Cao directly sent the most elite team of the generals.
"I've been tricked." After a long time on the battlefield, Xiahou Dun immediately realized that something was wrong, and shouted: "The whole army retreats. ”
It's just that the place of the city gate is a little more difficult to turn around than the five hundred tiger and leopard horsemen, and in the chaos, the cavalry is crowded, trampling on each other, and those who fall off the horse do not know how to go.
Desperately fighting out of the city, there were only more than 100 tiger and leopard cavalry around Xiahou Dun, and more than 300 elite cavalry were buried in Jiangling City, which gritted his teeth angrily, and he couldn't wait to immediately wave his army to attack the city.
"Lord, our army has been tricked, Jingzhou soldiers were ambushed at the city gate, and the tiger and leopard cavalry lost more than 300 people." Xiahou Dun said dejectedly.
Liu Bei appeared at the city gate, looked at Cao Jun who was waiting outside the city and said, "Cao Cao, if you want to sneak attack the city gate, how can it be so simple. ”
And when he had finished speaking, something was thrown down from the city.
"My lord, this is the head of the Yu family master." A general who was in charge of contacting the head of the Yu family stepped forward.
Cao Cao's complexion is constantly changing, and he can not care about the loss of the Yu family master and the family in the city, but more than 300 tigers and leopards are the brainchild of Cao Jun, and after forming cavalry for so many years, Cao Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry is only 2,000 people, which is Cao Jun's killer weapon, and he has been reluctant to use it, but he didn't expect the nest to die under such a scheme.
"Liu Bei, I will take your life in the coming day and pay tribute to the dead soldiers." Cao Cao pointed at Liu Bei with a horsewhip in his hand and shouted.
Cao Jun retreated in a gray manner, and Liu Bei was in a good mood.
"Sir's strategy is really wonderful, so that Cao Jun lost more than 300 cavalry." Liu Bei turned around and said.
Zhuge Liang also woke up from the initial panic, and said lightly: "After this battle, the morale of the defenders has been greatly boosted, and Cao Cao wants to capture Jiangling, which is bound to be more difficult, maybe he will retreat because of this, and the danger of Jiangling can be lifted." ”
Liu Bei nodded slightly, since Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, the strategies given to Liu Beijun have been very good, take Cao Jun as an example, Zhuge Liang has suffered a lot of losses.
The equipment of more than 300 tigers and leopards all fell into Liu Bei's hands, and these weapons were basically purchased by Cao Cao from the Xiliang army at a large price, and now Liu Bei is cheaper in vain.
After Cao Cao returned to the army, his face has not relaxed, the tiger and leopard cavalry is the most elite soldier in the army, but he did not expect that Jiangling City not only did not capture, but lost the army, he can not care about the soldiers lost before, but the casualties of the tiger and leopard cavalry are the most heart-wrenching.
At this time, Cao Cao also had the idea of retiring from the army, the grain and grass in Jiangling City were enough for three months, and in these three months, the grain and grass that Cao Jun needed to consume was countless, even if there was no delay on the road, a cart of grain and grass was transported, and the food and drink of the soldiers were escorted, and the road from Yanzhou to Xuzhou was not very easy to walk, and a large number of people and horses were needed.
"Lord, if our army retreats, we should leave heavy troops to guard Nanyang County, in order to attack Jingzhou again in the future."
After Cao Cao had this idea, the strategist thought that he was making a plan.
