November 28 is approaching the cold winter of December.

On this day, the drums outside the city thundered.

The army of black oppression lined up outside the city of Ai County, revealing the murderous aura of the Jin Ge Iron Horse.

In front of the military formation, Zhou Yu wore a helmet and armor, and a sword hung from his waist. He rode on his horse and squinted at the city of Ai County. Zhou Yu led his troops in a hurry and came to the outside of Ai County in the shortest possible time.

Fifteen thousand troops lined up, adding to the huge momentum.

On the city tower, Liu Xiu supported the female wall with both hands, and his eyes also fell on the military array outside the city. He got the news and knew that Zhou Yu led 15,000 soldiers to kill, and the number of troops was 5,000 more than him. It's just that Liu Xiu occupies the city and occupies the advantage of geographical advantages, even if Zhou Yu is strong and strong, he may not be able to take advantage of anything.

Zhou Yu stood under the city and said loudly: "Liu Xiu, Bendu personally led the army to kill, you are stuck in Ai County, and you are already a turtle in the urn." Surrender now, and Ben will spare your life. At the same time, the lord will also play, please marry Shang Xiang to you. ”

"Hahaha"

Liu Xiu laughed loudly, and said confidently and calmly: "Brother Gongjin, I am stationed in Ai County, how can I say that the turtle in the urn is you, I came from Chaisang all the way, Chaisang is not guarded by a large army, aren't you afraid of a fire in the backyard I believe that there will be people willing to attack Chaisang." ”

Zhou Yu had a smile on his face, and said unhurriedly: "Master Xiu thinks that when this governor goes to war, will he not consider the safety of Chaisang, do you want to use the power of Huang Zu to attack Chaisang, that is wishful thinking." ”

After a pause, Zhou Yu said sharply: "Gongzi Xiu is trapped in Ai County, and the back road is cut off by the troops sent by the governor. Now, it is impossible for Gongzi Xiu to withdraw from Ai County to Xia Jun County. The troops in the hands of Master Xiu are already alone. With 10,000 people in your hands, it is impossible to resist to the end. ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, he looked quite surprised, but he didn't expect Zhou Yu to send troops to cut off his retreat.

This move not only hit morale, but also cut off Liu Xiu's retreat.

If Liu Xiu hadn't laid out the game early, he might indeed be in trouble in this battle.

Liu Xiu smiled at the corner of his mouth, took a breath, and said, "Brother Gongjin cut off my back road, just to cut off my grain channel. But have you forgotten that there is food in Ai County, and the food in Ai County is enough to support two or three months. Could it be that Brother Gongjin is planning to stay outside the city for two or three months, Brother Gongjin, have you forgotten the situation in the south of Yuzhang County, the situation in the south can't support two or three months. ”

A few words, take advantage of the situation to fight back.

Zhou Yu's eyes were sharp, and he snorted: "Sun Ben went south to resist Huang Zhong, he couldn't fail." ”

Liu Xiu laughed and said, "However, Sun Ben is defeated, and now Sun Ben, the 10,000 troops under his command have been completely lost, and they are forced to retreat to Shiyang County." Huang Zhong led his army straight in, and soon defeated Sun Ben and swept through the south. ”

This news is the battle report that Liu Xiu just got in the morning.

Unexpectedly, confronting Zhou Yu actually came in handy with the latest news sent back by Huang Zhong.

Zhou Yu flicked his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and said loudly: "No matter what the situation in the south is, as long as this governor traps you to death, or takes Ai County, you will definitely die." If you are captured or killed, even if Huang Zhong wins, the Jingzhou army's offensive in Yuzhang County will immediately come to naught. ”

Liu Xiu said: "That being the case, I am waiting for the Metropolitan Governor to attack the city, and waiting for the Metropolitan Governor to take down this official." ”

At this time, Liu Xiu stopped talking.

After a conversation with Zhou Yu, Liu Xiu got the corresponding information and confused Zhou Yu, which was enough.

Outside the city, Zhou Yu fell silent. For the time being, he has not received any news from Sun Ben, the Taishou of Yuzhang County. Although he said that as long as he won Liu Xiu, he would win, but he was still a little worried.

"Withdraw, the army is encamped. ”

Zhou Yu gave the order and did not immediately attack the city, but stationed it outside the city.

The army arranged by Zhou Yu formed a situation where the three were surrounded and one was missing, leaving Liu Xiu with the passage of the north gate, giving Liu Xiu the opportunity to lead the soldiers to evacuate from the north gate. However, Liu Xiu knew that the north gate left behind might be the place where Zhou Yu arranged the ambush.

The military camp is encamped, and the Chinese army is in a big tent.

Zhou Yu Ling Tong Lu Meng sat down, and Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "Is there any latest news about Sun Ben?"

Lu Meng shook his head and said, "Governor, not yet. ”

Zhou Yu's face was gloomy, and at this time, outside the tent, there was a sound of footsteps.

"Newspaper"

The soldier shouted, then lifted the curtain of the camp tent and entered the camp tent, and reported: "Dadu Governor, Sun Taishou of Yuzhang County has news back. ”

Zhou Yujian raised his eyebrows and immediately took the letter. Opening the letter, Zhou Yu quickly read all the news, and his face was suddenly gloomy.

He slapped it on the table, eager to scold his mother.

The 10,000-strong army was lost, and Sun Ben did flee to Shiyang County to garrison.

This news made Zhou Yu quite difficult to handle. In Zhou Yu's plan, if Sun Ben can't win, then maintaining a stalemate is the best outcome.

Unexpectedly, Sun Ben took the initiative to fight, so that the army was defeated.

Seeing this, Lu Meng asked with a worried expression: "Metropolitan Governor, is Sun Taishou really defeated?"

"Defeated Liu Xiu's words are true. ”

Zhou Yu's face was dark, looking very depressed.

Ling Cao's face was serious, and he said: "The defeat of Sun Taishou's army means that it is impossible for our army to confront Liu Xiu anymore. Otherwise, the situation in the south will deteriorate, and Huang Zhong will wave his army north after winning in the south. We're going to get caught in the middle of that. Governor, we must storm the city as soon as possible. ”

Zhou Yu's eyes flashed, thinking about the solution of this battle.

After a while, Zhou Yu said: "Attacking Ai County is the next strategy, and it is not a last resort, and we will not adopt the strategy of attacking it as a last resort." The army will rest for a day, and early tomorrow morning, the governor will test Liu Xiu again. If Liu Xiu can be forced to take the initiative to fight, that is the best result. No, the siege will be carried out again. ”

"How can you test it" Ling Tong's eyes had a curious look.

Zhou Yu said: "Trick him"

However, Zhou Yu did not say it in detail, and Ling Tong did not ask again.

Early the next morning, Zhou Yu once again led his troops to the city.

Liu Xiu stood on the city tower, watching the army under Zhou Yu's command array, but did not attack, and he was puzzled. Liu Xiu said loudly: "Brother Gongjin, you led tens of thousands of soldiers here, but you didn't attack the city, are you here to scare me hahaha?"

Huang Hu, Deng Zhan and others also laughed.

Zhou Yu looked very calm, and said with a straight face: "Last night, the governor of Pontus issued an order to send five thousand soldiers to Changsha County. Ben Governor is thinking, if Youxian has fallen, can Gongzi Xiu still sit firmly in Ai County?"

"Oh, I'm so scared"

Liu Xiu looked scared and said loudly: "Brother Gongjin, I'm scared if you're like this." ”

Pretending to be strange made Zhou Yu frown.

Zhou Yu's words were tentative, wanting to test whether Liu Xiu had troops left in Youxian to defend them.

If Liu Xiu came out of the nest, then Liu Xiu would be panicked when he heard the news of Zhou Yu's division of troops, and then took the initiative to attack Zhou Yu to relieve the pressure on Youxian. If Liu Xiu had left the soldiers to guard him, Liu Xiu would definitely not be worried.

When the time comes, Zhou Yu can only attack.

Zhou Yu laughed and said, "Don't worry, Master Xiu, in fact, the governor of Pontus is scaring you." The Governor's army is here, how can he send troops to attack Youxian?"

Liu Xiu said: "Oh, my little heart is jumping non-stop. Brother Gongjin, don't joke anymore. What if I can't help but get out of town"

When Zhou Yu heard this, he thought to himself, Liu Xiu must have left someone to guard it.

Otherwise, there will never be a joke.

Liu Xiu sneered in his heart, he led the army to fight, how could he not leave the army to guard Youxian County is Liu Xiu's lair, once the old nest is ended, the consequences are unimaginable.

Zhou Yu understood that it was impossible to cheat Liu Xiu, he took a deep breath and held the hilt of the sword with his right hand.

"Sonorous"

Like the sound of a dragon's groan, the glittering sword stood in the air.

Zhou Yu said loudly: "Siege" Under the order, the Jiangdong army under his command began to surge forward and launched a fierce siege. Ling Tong and Lu Meng took the lead and immediately attacked.

"Knock Knock"

The rumbling drums of war resounded throughout the battlefield.

Thousands of Jiangdong soldiers roared and slaughtered the county seat of Ai County.

Liu Xiu saw that Zhou Yu was starting to attack the city, and he knew that it was impossible for Zhou Yu to send troops to attack Youxian. What he said just now was just Zhou Yu deceiving him. Liu Xiu immediately ordered a counterattack, and the garrison on the city tower acted quickly
