Gangdong's attack on the north of Gangneung Fortress has a smell of life and death.

Zhou Qun's evaluation of this is:

"This Lu Meng is crazy."

Although Zhou Qun did not know the battle array, he could see that this iron cable boat as a pontoon bridge was already a desperate situation.

It is almost impossible to dismantle and restore the shape of a warship to the base of the pontoon bridge, and the boats that carry fire oil to rush to the city gate are only scorched oars.

In this case, if it really takes Gangneung, it is easy to say, but if it fails, this army may even have a problem to escape and retreat.

In the past, Jiangdong relied on these warships to run rampant on the river, but now they are all destroyed just to get close to Gangneung, which is to cut off their own back road first.

Jiang Wan's attitude is very indifferent, although he has worked a lot these days, Jiang Wan is not pessimistic, and even jokes:

"At the time of the Battle of Chibi, this Lu Meng was just a fighting general, but now he is learning the story of the overlord of Chu breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, and it was rumored that he was persuaded by Sun Hou to learn, and I believe it today."

"It's just a pity that the time to study is too short after all, although I want to do the old things of the overlord of Chu, but he will not have the fierceness of the overlord, and his death will not have the courage of the Chu people."

"I still don't remember, the overlord of Chu was defeated by the Han after all!"

Jiang Wan's voice was very loud, and the last few words were also sonorous and powerful, so the soldiers around him took the lead in cheering.

Zhou Qun understood that Jiang Wan's words were three points for himself, and seven points for his subordinates to boost morale.

After all, Jiangdong is menacing, and now it has begun to attack in the north of the city regardless of life and death, and such a crazy situation will inevitably make the soldiers muttered in their hearts.

It's just that...... Zhou Qun clearly remembered that the overlord of Chu broke the cauldron and sank the boat to relieve the siege of the giant deer and defeated the Qin army.

However, he also did not speak, but quietly looked at the atmosphere of Gangneung City, which was gradually solemn.

Zhuge Guo'er asked his brother Zhuge Qiao to build a ladder against the low wall, and then tried to poke his head out.

The once bustling streetscape is gone, and now the streets are deserted, with only farmers pushing wooden oxen and soldiers in helmets and armor coming and going.

Zhuge Guo puffed out her cheeks, that Jiang Taishou strictly ordered that she should not go to the street during the war, which caused her to be very depressed at home, and she could only look at the scenery on the wall to satisfy her hunger.

And now my mother is not at home, I heard that the enemy outside the city set fire to a part of the crossbow machine at the north gate a few days ago, and now Jiang Taishou is still asking people to disassemble part of the giant crossbow at the west gate to the north gate to install, and it is inevitable that there will be damage in the process.

There was a sudden shortage of craftsmen to repair the giant crossbow, so his mother signed up as a craftsman, and now he and his brother are left alone at home.

The solemn scenery in front of her also made Zhuge Guo not like it, so she slid down the small ladder and said:

"Brother, let's go see the glass conservatory."

Zhuge Qiao nodded with a smile, and after calming his sister, his expression was inevitably a little stunned.

Now that his father is far away in Hanzhong, his mother also went to help defend the city, but as a boy of the Zhuge family, he could not go to the city to help defend the country, which is quite regrettable.

But soon, Zhuge Guo, who hurriedly ran back to the house, went and returned, with a small notebook under his little arm, and a ruler, a tape measure, charcoal and other tools in his arms, and went straight to the greenhouse.

Zhuge Qiao shook his head helplessly, this greenhouse was originally built by his mother and planned to study the differences in herbs, but he was too busy, so these records were taken over by the little sister and she was happy to record them.

Finally, after a glance at the north, Zhuge Qiao was also invigorated, since his age can't stabilize the world now, then take care of the family first, especially the little sister.

In addition to taking care of his little sister, Zhuge Qiao also climbed the ladder from time to time to observe the situation on the street.

The first two days were okay, the soldiers and people that Zhuge Qiao could see were all rushing towards the north gate, and there was no laughter in the process, and their faces were solemn.

Three days later, Zhuge Qiao had already observed scattered wounded soldiers withdrawing from the north.

But fortunately, the faces of these wounded soldiers did not look desperate, which made Zhuge Qiao also breathe a sigh of relief.

After another two days, the number of wounded soldiers began to increase, which made Zhuge Qiao's heart suddenly rise: The battle at the North Gate is unfavorable?

The climate in Jingzhou is already hot, but now that spring has begun, the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and some wounded soldiers choose to walk under the wall, so some discussions have also been heard by Zhuge Qiao.

“… How can this Wu dog still have reinforcements? ”

"Didn't Taishou say that Jiangling is in danger, Jingnan is safe, and those Wu dogs who originally attacked Jingnan have all gathered at this time."

"What if there are reinforcements, haven't they still come in?"

"But that Wu dog is really not afraid of death, and we haven't recaptured the city gate until now......"

A few wounded soldiers walked away, Zhuge Qiao's mood couldn't help but hang, and after his mother returned that night, Zhuge Qiao simply asked directly.

Huang Yueying sighed:

"The battle situation in the north of the city is scorching, Wu Dijian'er dies more than 1,000 times a day, and the river is red."

Zhuge Qiao was dumbfounded, unable to imagine what the situation was like outside just a wall.

After a pause, Huang Yueying rubbed the cup of hot water in her hand and said slowly:

"Wu Dijian'er fought to the death, Jiang Taishou resisted desperately, and the result of this battle may not exceed ten days."

"Ten days?" Zhuge Qiao was surprised, he read a lot and knew how difficult it was to siege the city.

He has also been to the north of the city, although the city gate is lost, but Jiang Taishou is not a mediocre person, and he must have built a defense line again.

Huang Yueying nodded, this was also the conclusion she reached after discussing with Jiang Wan.

According to Lu Meng's speed of filling people, Jiangdong will collapse after half a month at most.

Moreover, now that the entire Jingzhou has gathered Sun, Cao and Liu at the same time, the situation is extremely complicated, whether it is Xuande Gong or Cao Cao, I am afraid that they do not want to see the attack and defense of Jiangling turn into a protracted battle.

But there is no need to talk about these words in detail with Zhuge Qiao, Huang Yueying took a sip of hot tea, and remembered that the safest thing she had seen in the past few days should be regarded as a crossbowman.

For a while, the mentality of being a mother prevailed, and her eyes stared at Zhuge Qiao thoughtfully:

"How is Bo Song's arithmetic now?"

Zhuge Qiao suddenly felt the pressure.

The atmosphere in the Wu military camp outside the city was calm, and Han Dang sat in his camp tent without lighting the lamp, and sighed.

After leading the army to come back to help, he was greeted by Lu Meng's interrogation, and more than 30,000 people attacked Hanshou and returned to the main general's death, which could already be called defeated.

As a veteran, Han Dang was too lazy to argue, after all, Pan Zhang's guy was promoted by Sun Hou, and he planned to face Sun Hou after returning to Jiangdong.

Under the circumstance of unshirkable responsibility, in addition to his subordinates, the rest of the soldiers he led before were also returned to Lu Meng's dispatch.

Then these athletes were thrown into the cruel Gangneung battlefield, and more than 100 people died silently that day.

Lu Meng boasted to Han Dang that the battle line under Jiangling City was steadily advancing, but Han Dang understood that these were all piled up with human lives.

If you take a step forward, more than 100 people will die, and if you push one foot forward, you will need more than 1,000 people to make steps.

But it is even more impossible to persuade Lu Meng to stop, after all, he has been fighting for several days now, and if he retreats at this time, won't all the soldiers in the river die in vain?

With this mentality, Han Dang only felt at a loss.

How did Koto become like this?

So the next day, Han Dang numbly accompanied Lu Meng, watched him shout and order the soldiers to advance, shouted and added another team of troops to supervise the battle, and shouted "Those who do not enter will die".

At this time, someone reported that an enemy army appeared in the direction of Lexiang.

Lexiang is located in the west of Jiangling, a county seat in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

Han Dang didn't think twice and got up to fight.

Rather than ordering Jian'er to fill in his life in Gangneung City, he would rather fight the enemy army.

Lu Meng had nothing to do, and even kindly took Han Dang's hand and entrusted:

"The righteous prince will not return this battle!"

The words were kind, but Han Dang's heart was half cold.

The veteran glanced at Lu Meng seriously, and then arched his hand flatly:

"I will live up to the general's trust."

Han Dang walked very freely, and he didn't even go to Lu Meng to ask for a soldier and a half, but just led his troops to the west to find traces of the enemy.

Lu Meng didn't take this to heart, and only had the city of Jiangling in his eyes.

The only thing that made Han Dang more comfortable was that he got a detailed map of the surroundings, which was also one of the things that Lu Meng did after Chen Bing Jiangling, carefully drawing the surrounding geography.

Sa scout moved forward, divided into front and rear troops, and in the end, to Han Dang's surprise, he finally saw Shamoke's smiling face.

He didn't expect that the battalion of troops left by Tang would be able to stop the barbarian king from going north, and the plan at that time was to be able to delay the barbarian king's pace.

After all, Shamoko is a local, so how to make a detour should be clear, and it is not surprising for him to appear here now.

There is no half of the city wall in this Lexiang, it is very close to Jiangling, if there is a war, it is enough to withdraw directly into Jiangling, there is no need to build a city wall at all, and there is no geographical advantage for Shamoke to defend.

But Shamoko's mood was still very good, and after putting on the rattan armor, Shamoko stood up directly and shouted:

"Old general, you were still defeated in Hanshou before, and now your troops are not as good as mine, why don't you get out of the way so as not to fight?"

Han Dang shook his head lightly, and slowly advanced in a formation with his own soldiers, and then said in a flat tone:

"Han Dang is here, you can't wait for a step!"

This attitude was already very clear, Shamoke looked at Gangneung City clearly visible in the distance, and then looked at the stubborn general in front of him, and couldn't help but look irritated:

"Since you insist on seeking death, then it's no wonder to me!"

Shamoke took the lead, and Zhang Wei and Ma Zhong silently covered Shamoke's flank and rushed to kill together.

After the Han Shou, the forces of the two sides were temporarily combined in one place, the Wuling army eliminated the wounded soldiers, and left people to prevent another sneak attack in Jiangdong, and the five thousand Wuling army and the reinforcements led by Zhang Wei were combined into one army, a total of 8,000 people.

Han Dang, as a veteran who fought hard when Sun Jian was a soldier, was favored and favored, and all four thousand parts were veterans.

The two sides are like two turbulent rivers, colliding together, setting off hundreds of waves.

The sudden outbreak of fighting in Lexiang was seen by the Jiangling defenders, and they immediately reported it to Jiang Wan.

After defending the city for a few days, Jiang Wan was no longer a man, his lips were chapped, and his clothes were bloodstained, but his eyes were more energetic and sharp.

After listening to the herald's report, Jiang Wan said lightly:

"Let me know if you have the results."

In the game, Jiang Wan could see clearly that it was not clear whether this support army was Wuling, but Jiangdong would definitely try his best to block it, so as long as this support army was not defeated quickly, he could accept the result.

What I am most afraid of now is ......

"Taishou, there is smoke and dust in the direction of Huarong, and there seem to be reinforcements!"

Jiang Wan's brows suddenly twisted into a dead knot, and he disappeared indifferently, Jiang Wan walked quickly to the east city gate, staring at the smoke and dust.

Zhou Qun was also by Jiang Wan's side at this time, and looked at the direction of the smoke and dust with him.

Soon, Zhou Qun sighed unconsciously, and there was a low buzz on the city wall, because as this group of people approached, everyone saw the eye-catching word "Cao" clearly.

Zhou Qun glanced at Jiang Wan worriedly, only to see that the Taishou didn't speak, but his brows were not extended, his hands were clenched, and his knuckles were a little white.

"Even if there is Cao Jun's assistance, it should not be a matter of ......," Zhou Qun comforted:

"Now there is still half a year's grain in the city, and there are more than 2,000 strong crossbows and more than 500 giant crossbow machines.

These are also the results of many years of hard work in Gong'an County, and the use of water power to build engineering is far from being as unbearable as Jiangdong thinks.

Jiang Wan nodded, just stared at that side seriously, without saying a word.

Lu Meng outside the city was laughing wildly, which was also the reason why he didn't care about Han Danghun, Cao Gong's reinforcements were already on the way!

And perhaps because of Liu Bei's vigorous engineering in Jingzhou, the effect is amazing, and Cao Gong also said in his previous letter that the reinforcements will bring the thunderbolt that made contributions in the Battle of Guandu to help Lü Meng break through Jiangling.

In this way, Lu Meng felt that this city was already beckoning to him!

It's just that after a while, Lu Meng's face turned a little pale, because all the cavalry who came were cavalry, and the leader was like a crown of jade, but he was not majestic.

Seeing that Lu Meng didn't get off the horse, but just rode on the horse and looked at him with interest, Lu Meng felt a pressure coming to him.

Taking the initiative to step forward under pressure, Lu Meng arched his hand and said:

"General Wenyuan came from afar......"

It was not rude for Zhang Liao to turn over and dismount, and he also arched his hand and said:

"Just call me to conquer the East General."

Lu Meng's heart was suffocated, and after coming into contact with Cao Cao, he also knew clearly that this Zhang Liao was worshiped by Prime Minister Cao Cheng as General Zhengdong because of his merits last year.

Which credit? Nature is the victory of Hefei.

Lu Meng originally wanted to forget about this stubble, but at this time, Zhang Liaowan refused to call the close name of the table, and could only nod and say:

"General Zhengdong has come here, and Jiangling will definitely have no worries."

Later, Lü Meng asked Zhang Liao to observe the battlefield, and received the evaluation of the general of the expedition to the east, "Jiangdong is really generous".

It seemed to be praise, but Lu Meng couldn't see any appreciation in his eyes.

Later, without waiting for Lu Meng's invitation, Zhang Liao took the initiative to order:

"Build a thunderbolt car to help Jiangdong, a partial general, break through Jiangling."

Lu Meng's face was complicated, but he finally squeezed out a cute smile.

Seeing that Zhang Liao turned around and wanted to leave, Lu Meng was a little anxious:

"The general has a strong pawn, if we can attack the city together......"

Zhang Liaotou didn't reply: "My athlete, how can I waste here in vain?" ”

When he came, Prime Minister Cao Cheng had already made it clear that if this Jiangling could be broken by Jiangdong alone, then it would naturally be left to its own devices.

But now that there is room for meddler, it is up to us to figure out who Gangneung will ultimately belong to.

On the same day, the so-called thunderbolt was erected, but it could only throw small stone bullets, which disappointed Zhang Liao.

However, Lu Meng was very excited, since this thing could throw stone bullets into the city, it was a pity that it was only used to throw stones.

Zhang Liao also showed appreciation for the first time when he saw this Lu Meng, because he saw that the warmakers of Jiangdong had spent a whole morning making a basket of fire oil bombs.

The principle is not complicated, the outside is a brittle shell, stuffed with smoldering oil wire, and when thrown into the city and broken, it will burn.

Now there are a lot of oil in Jiangdong, but the oil line is not very easy to do, and less than half of a basket of oil bombs can burn after falling to the ground, but it also surprised Zhang Liao.

Before Lü Meng could make another request for a coordinated siege, there were scouts in Zhang Liao's army who reported:

"There is a fine cavalry from the north, holding the banner of Zhao Ziqi."
