"Not good!"

Shen Chen suddenly realized the problem.

He didn't expect that the defenders of Wankou would be so bold and dare to go out of the city.

Aren't the enemy defenders afraid of their own ambushes outside the city?

"General, what should I do?"

The sentry next to him asked, "Do you want to save Sima Zhang now?" ”

Shen Chen immediately thought calmly: "We are too far away from Dongcheng, you send someone to inform the eldest prince to attack immediately, we will attack Nancheng!" ”

"Yui!"

The sentry commander immediately threw his legs and ran back.

Shen Chen shouted: "Soldiers, to break through Anhui is to save Jiangxia, kill with me!" ”

"Kill!"

Immediately, the soldiers rushed out.

However, what they never expected was that at this moment, hundreds of figures suddenly appeared on the head of the city, and someone shouted: "Hahahaha, I knew you would be like this, give me arrows!" ”

"Shoot the arrows!"

In an instant, arrows rained down, and the Jiangxia navy was caught off guard and fled.

Shen Chen flew two arrows with his knife, his heart sank, and he immediately shouted: "The enemy has an ambush, retreat!" ”

"Withdraw!"

The herald's whistle sounded.

In fact, there was no need for him to give orders, no matter how powerful the flesh was, it couldn't withstand the baptism of bows and arrows, and the soldiers left thirty or forty corpses behind, and they had already run back.

Shen Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Quick, go north to support Zhang Sima." ”

Since there was already an ambush at the South City Gate, there was no way to attack, so it was better to save Zhang Nan.

It's just that the south gate is several miles away from the east gate after all, and by the time he arrives with his men and horses, the war there is almost over.

Zhang Nan's army had not rested all night, and had been making noise, originally thinking of raiding the city and taking the mouth of Anhui and then going to sleep, but it was suddenly attacked, caught off guard, and could not resist at all.

Han Dang and Lu Su personally led their men and horses to defeat them almost like a bamboo, and after killing and wounding more than a hundred men and horses, they fled from the forest like lost dogs and ran in the direction of Anqing Pavilion to the south.

When Shen Chen came over, there was a Jiangdong army waiting solemnly in the distance more than two hundred meters away, and both sides had already taken out their bows and arrows, waiting for the other party to rush over.

However, Lu Su did not order an attack, but looked at the small Jiangxia army coming from the south gate from a distance, and ordered the soldiers to slowly retreat towards the city.

Seeing that the enemy was so cautious, Shen Chen stood on a three-meter-high slope and shouted from afar, "Who are your city guards?" ”

"Liaoxi Handang!"

"Jiujiang Lusu!"

The two responded loudly.

At the end, Lu Su said again: "I haven't asked for advice yet!" ”

"Shen Chen of the East China Sea!"

"It turned out to be the world-famous Shen Xiaolang, and I am fortunate to meet you today!"

"I have also heard of Lu Zijing's name."

"A little nickname, how can it be compared with Shen Xiaolang's Sanlin Xu Du?"

"Although Jiangdong is three generations, it is not a good place, and the public has a big weapon, why not return to the society as soon as possible?"

"Who is Sheji? Liu Biao? ”

"Naturally, it's the imperial court."

Shen Chen was talking to Lu Su as he beckoned the soldiers to slowly approach.

When the distance between the two sides was about 100 meters, he had already vaguely seen a figure moving in the fog, and the other party was actually slowly leaning over like him.

With the direction of the sound, Shen Chen slowly bent his bow and arrows, aiming at the position where Lu Su had just made a sound.

Although this is despicable, but fighting a war is not tired of deceit, and if you want to engage in a battle of benevolence and righteousness, you will inevitably be laughed at by the world.

However, almost as soon as he sent the arrow, he heard the sound of breaking the air in front of him.

Shen Chen instinctively turned away to dodge, but a sharp arrow still broke through the clouds, cutting through his arm, and blood suddenly flowed down.

"Ahh

There was a scream.

"Kill!"

Shen Chen's spirits perked up, and he endured the pain and gave an order.

However, the other party was also prepared, and suddenly the bows and arrows of both sides fell like raindrops, and the quality of the Jiangxia naval army was not as good as that of the other side, and they were soon defeated and retreated.

At this moment, the horn sounded in the distance, and Liu Qi and Qu Dang came with a large army.

The Jiangdong army over there did not dare to fight, and quickly withdrew to the city.

After a while, Shen Chen, Liu Qi, Qu Dang and the others converged, and Liu Qi saw that he was injured, so he hurriedly came up and asked, "Ah Chen, how is it?" ”

"No problem!"

Shen Chen picked up the arrow before and looked at it, there was no poison smeared on it, just a simple skin injury, and then said: "The enemy general was shot to death by me, and now you can attack the city." ”

"Good!"

Liu Qi immediately gave a total order.

The soldiers, carrying planks and ladders, braved the rain of arrows to the city and began to climb the city walls.

Shen Chen was sitting on a small hillside not far from the city and watching the battle, and soldiers were bandaging their wounds with linen.

The wound was cut by an arrow, it was not deep, and the bleeding stopped quickly, but the severe pain may still affect the arm performance.

However, this kind of minor injury has been suffered countless times in several battles against Cao Cao, and it is not a big deal.

Therefore, Shen Chen still watched the battle calmly.

I saw that the soldiers had successfully arrived at the city and were already starting to attack the city.

"Ah Chen, they rushed up."

Liu Qi next to him was very happy.

If he can win this battle, his credit will definitely not be small, and he will add a lot of points in front of his father.

However, as soon as he was smiling, the situation in the city suddenly changed.

"Kill!"

The sound of shouting and killing shook the sky, and hundreds of Jiangdong soldiers on the head of the city began to throw things down.

The strange thing is that it is not a rolling stone and a tree, but a scarecrow.

Immediately after the fire oil was sprayed, the city suddenly turned into a sea of fire, and all the planks and ladders used by the Jiangxia naval army to attack the city were burned.

"I'll go!"

Seeing this scene, Shen Chen couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

He suddenly remembered the figures he had seen on the city walls on the mountain in the morning, and where were the figures, they were clearly some scarecrows.

Obviously, the one in the city had seen through his plan, and when he sent people to drum up the momentum, they disguised themselves as soldiers with scarecrows, and the Jiangdong army slept and rested all night, and when they launched an attack before dawn, they were already waiting for them.

"Dingding, dingding!"

The sound of the golden cymbals jingled, if it rained, there would definitely be no way to ignite the straw, but the rain had stopped, the scarecrows were all burning, and it was a continuous rain of arrows, and the Jiangxia navy had to start evacuating.

Shen Chen stood on the hillside and looked at Wankou City with a deep gaze.

This is a very rare city that he has not conquered since his debut, although there are many objective reasons, such as the lack of siege weapons, the quality of the soldiers is far inferior to the soldiers of the Yellow Gate Pavilion, and the enemy's arrows and resources are sufficient.

But from a subjective point of view, people have repeatedly seen through his strategy, otherwise if he encounters an ordinary guard, I am afraid that he would have already taken it down.

The second of the four major governors of Lusu.

It's amazing.

No wonder they can be called the two great think tanks of Jiangdong together with Zhou Yu, and although the rest of Lu Meng Lu Xun and others are also the governors of Jiangdong, they can compare to Zhou Yu and Lu Su, I really don't know that there is a difference of 108,000 miles.

"Shen Xiaolang!"

At this moment, Lu Su's angry voice appeared on the head of the city, shouting out of the city: "If you don't want to follow Liu Biao one day, the Jiangdong Gate will always be open for you!" ”

"Good intentions are forbidden."

Shen Chen replied loudly: "See you again in the future!" ”

The clanging sound continued, Shen Chen turned his head, went down the hill, and headed in the direction of Anqing Pavilion.

At this time in the city, Lu Su unconsciously touched his chest, the arrow just now was coming to his chest, if it weren't for the guards to help him block it, I'm afraid he would have died at this time.

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, it was already three o'clock of sunrise, Han Dang looked out of the city, and through the hazy vision that was getting brighter and brighter, he saw the Jiangxia Navy retreating like a tide.

"Captain Lu, we've repelled them."

Han Dang breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Su shook his head and said, "You can't take the enemy lightly yet, the general should immediately send scouts to follow." ”

"Okay."

After this night, Han Dang was already convinced by Lu Su and immediately sent scouts out of the city.

Over there, Liu Qiqu dared to lead the soldiers and horses back, accepted the soldiers, and came out with five thousand soldiers, and now there are at least five or six hundred dead and wounded, which can be described as quite embarrassing.

After Shen Chen returned to Anqing Pavilion, he looked around and saw that the soldiers were demoralized, and their brows were furrowed.

The quality of the Jiangxia naval army really cannot be compared with the northern army.

"Ah Chen."

At this time, Liu Qi came over and asked him, "What should I do now?" Go on the offensive? ”

Shen Chen shook his head and said: "The soldiers are tired and hungry, and Na Lusu is a powerful person, I'm afraid this city can't be attacked, let's go back to the ship first, let me think about it again." ”

"Okay."

Liu Qi then ordered the soldiers to return to the ship to recuperate.

The Jiangdong ships at Anqingting Wharf had been destroyed before, and now only the eight big ships remained.

After returning to the ship, Shen Chen thought carefully, and Liu Qi came over to ask.

"Continue to the lower reaches of the river!"

"To the lower reaches of the river?"

Hearing Shen Chen's final decision, Liu Qi was taken aback and said, "Isn't that self-defeating? ”

Shen Chen shook his head and said: "If we go back now, Jiangxia may be lost, so we must win in danger, I remember to go south from Qingshui to Lingyang, you can sail into Poshui." ”

In the Han Dynasty, there was no Poyang Lake, but there was Poshui, which was connected to the Yangtze River, and its upstream was called Qingshui, which was probably the Qingtong River and Shuxi River in Qingyang County in later generations.

The former flows south from Qingyang County into Taiping Lake, and continues south to become Shuxi, and when Shuxi reaches Yixian, it becomes Poshui and flows into Peng Lize.

Therefore, if you go down from this route, it is probably Qingyang County, Anhui Province, to Yixian County, Jiangxi, and then to Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, and finally enter the Ganjiang River.

Liu Qi said: "There is indeed this river, it is a branch of a big river, and there are many cities along the line, do we want to attack it?" ”

Shen Chen said: "The problem now is that the Jiangdong Army took advantage of General Huang's withdrawal to intercept from the road, General Huang may have been defeated at this time, if we can't threaten the rear of Jiangdong, then Jiangxia will not be protected, and now Wankou can't take it, so naturally we can only continue to go south along the river, so that they feel that we are threatening Jiangdong, but we went from Qingshui to Nanchang to join General Liu Pan." ”

"Is this a bluff?"

Liu Qi asked tentatively.

Shen Chen nodded and sighed: "Yes, this Lusu is really powerful, and Wankou can't take it, so he can only take Lingyang first and force the Jiangdong Army to return to defense." ”

"Okay."

Liu Qi nodded: "Then let's go to Lingyang." ”

So he immediately went out to issue an order, and when it was close to three o'clock in the morning, the tired and hungry Jiangxia navy set sail again, not intending to go north to return to Peng Lize, but to continue along the river to Jiangdong.

After about a quarter of an hour, the scouts who had gone out to investigate in Wankou had already returned and reported to Lu Su and Han Dangyu: "Report, general, captain, the enemy has withdrawn its troops. ”

"Where did they go?"

Lu Su asked.

The scout replied, "Go down the river and go to the east of the river." ”

"What?"

Lu Su was shocked: "Quick, probe again, find some small boats to follow." ”

"Yui!"

The scout immediately found some airships, scouts and other reconnaissance ships from the city, and quickly sailed from Anhui into the Yangtze River, following behind Shen Chenjun.

After the scouts left, Lu Su and Han Dang's faces were not good-looking, and they glanced at each other.

In fact, they are not afraid that Shen Chen will go to Jiangdong, they are afraid that he will go to Lingyang.

Lingyang is only more than 200 miles away from Anhuikou, down the river, and then go down the green water, but it can be reached in two or three hours.

The scariest thing is.

The defenders of Lingyang at this time were less than five hundred, and Sun Quan was in Lingyang City!
