Chapter 1669: Xincheng City Gate
The quiet night passed quickly, and the rising sun spread the afterglow on the earth, and the Jiangdong army guarding Xincheng lined up in the city one by one.
On the city wall, there are almost no Jiangdong soldiers, only the battle flag of the Jiangdong army, hunting and flying in the wind.
Outside Xincheng, the Han army, which had besieged the city for several days, also withdrew its barracks, and the soldiers lined up in a neat formation and advanced towards the city wall.
The Han soldiers did not advance to the front of the city wall, and once the Jiangdong army released their arrows at the head of the city, the arrows stopped outside the shooting range.
Zhuge Jun, accompanied by several Han generals, marched towards the gate of Xincheng, and followed him to take over the city, as well as a Han army of thousands of people.
Although these Han troops were not enough to break through the city, once something happened, they were able to protect Zhuge Jun and successfully evacuate.
When Zhuge Jun led the men and horses to the outside of the city gate, the Xincheng gate slowly opened, and a group of people walked out of it.
The leading one is none other than Zhuge Jun's eldest brother Zhuge Jin.
Zhuge rode horses, while Zhuge Jin walked.
If you talk about the ranking of the family, it should be Zhuge Jun to get off the horse and meet Zhuge Jin, but now it is Zhuge Jin who dedicates the city, as the winner, if Zhuge Jun dismounts, it will break the prestige of the Han army.
Riding on horseback, looking at Zhuge Jin who came out of the city, Zhuge Jun clenched his fists and said: "Brother is on top, little brother is polite!" ”
hugged his fist and gave Zhuge Jun a salute back, Zhuge Jin said: "You and my brother met in Yuhe a few days ago, and I expected it to be today, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly!" ”
Smiling slightly, Zhuge Jun said to Zhuge Jin: "The younger brother led the army here, but he also expected that there would be no food in the city. If you really want to kill them all, in the past two days, a large army has launched a siege of the city, and the walls of Xincheng are low, and it will only take two or three days to break through. Considering that this city was guarded by his brother, he did not send troops for a long time! ”
Zhuge Jun's words made Zhuge Jin suddenly feel guilty.
When the Han army arrived at Xincheng, although it would not take only two or three days to break the city as Zhuge Jun said, it was inevitable that the city would be broken.
There was no siege of the city, on the one hand, Zhuge Jun thought that there was a shortage of food in the city, and there was no need to attack, and sooner or later the Jiangdong Army would be defeated, on the other hand, it may also be the reason that Zhuge Jun said.
Seeing the guilt on Zhuge Jin's face, Zhuge Jun just looked indifferent and said to him: "My brother was an enemy of the imperial court earlier, but it was because he was grateful to the Jiangdong Sun family. Now that the imperial court wants to recover Jiangdong, the elder brother leads the army to surrender, which is to follow the righteousness of the world. In the future, it will be a beautiful talk! ”
Sighing lightly, Zhuge Jin's face showed a touch of loss.
He didn't hide this loss at all, and Zhuge didn't care about it at all.
If Zhuge Jin showed a willing face, it would be a little incompatible, after all, he surrendered to the Han army because of the lack of food in the city, not willingly.
The two brothers were talking at the gate of the city, and not far to the left of the Han army's array, a barbarian cavalry was already ready to go.
The barbarians on horseback are all wearing Han army armor, but the blades in their hands are short axes that barbarians are good at using.
Leading this group of barbarian cavalry were Mrs. Zhu Rong and Meng Shu.
The husband and wife did not speak, and their eyes stared at Zhuge Jin at the gate of the city.
Holding the blade in his hand tightly, Meng Shu looked even more anxious, looking like he was eager to rush to Xincheng immediately and fight with the Jiangdong army in the city for a while.
