After more than a quarter of an hour of chaotic fighting, the thousand parts brought by Zhang Fei finally succeeded in entering Guangling City.

Occupy a section of the city wall with the northeast gate of Guangling as the core, a section of hundreds of steps long, and also burn the jack gate of this city gate and smash it.

The Yuan army guards in the city, after this short period of panic, found that the number of enemies did not seem to be large, and they did not have the ability to control the whole city.

Just now, I was only frightened by a few fires placed around after Zhang Feijun seized the door, and it took an hour or two to figure out the situation.

After calming down, the defenders reorganized their counterattack around midnight and began to send soldiers to try to attack the northeast gate tower.

After all, the number of Zhang Fei's soldiers was too small, only 1,000. And Liu Xun's guards left in Guangling, many dare not say, there are still three or five thousand.

This is not counting the temporary can arrest Ding's urban and rural bravery.

It's just that when Liu Xun attacked Huaiyin, he gave priority to bringing all the elite soldiers under his command, so the quality of the three or five thousand people left behind was uneven, and most of them were second-line troops.

There is also a small half of the inheritance of Zheng Bao, the handsome "Chaohu thief" he just eliminated, which belongs to the kind of goods that were water thieves a few months ago.

The combat effectiveness of such a unit can naturally be imagined. Although there were four or five times the number of Zhang Fei, they organized several storms, but they failed to recapture the city walls and towers.

Yuan's soldiers were divided into two routes, all the way from the north wall to the east, all the way from the east wall to the north, Zhang Fei stubbornly guarded the northeast corner of the city, and the two sides fought very bloody.

The terrain of the city wall is narrow, and there is only enough space for five people to stand side by side at the top of the wall.

The Yuan army rushed along the wall to kill, and the advantage of being large in numbers was not easy to play, and there were always only so many people in the front to engage in battle.

The soldiers in front had to be killed and thrown under the city before the soldiers behind could go up.

The side with a large number of people could not fight at all, and at most it could only be fought in wheels.

Such terrain is very advantageous for the side with high martial arts and strong morale. Zhang Fei personally led his guards to guard the staircase on one side of the city wall, and in just a quarter of an hour, he stabbed dozens of enemy soldiers.

Its bravery once frightened the Yuan army attacking from the north, so they had to change to block the opening and release arrows.

Fortunately, Zhang Fei was prepared, and today he was wearing heavy armor, and there was a city tower behind him, so he could find cover and shoot, so he was not injured.

Zhang Fei fought hard until he was in a trance, only to feel that at this moment, just like that moment,

For example, more than ten days ago, the Danyang rebel general Xu Tan guarded the White Gate Tower and waited for Lu Bu's army to arrive.

He had personally experienced the bloodiness of that battle, but it was his turn to play the attacker at that time.

"Xu Tan dog thief can guard Baimenlou all night, am I not as good as that old dog? I'm going to keep it for at least a day and two nights! One day and one more night than the Xu Tan dog mongrel! If the dog mongrel can hold up until Lu Bu comes, I can hold out to the big brother! ”

The shame of the purpose and the shame of the past made Zhang Feibang have unprecedented potential.

Whenever he felt that he was about to run out of oil and lamps, he would shout and scold Xu Tan dog mongrel, and then force out some potential all over his body.

Yuan's army stormed for an hour, it was almost midnight, and the offensive was finally slowed down, and they were ready to rotate the main attack force and make other plans.

Because by this time, the Guangling guard had also confirmed through the scout's report that there were no reinforcements from Zhang Fei nearby, and it should be these thousand sneak attackers who pretended to be reinforcements and went deep alone.

Even so, the defenders must also take into account the casualties when counterattacking, otherwise if they continue to be killed and wounded, they may not be able to capture Zhang Fei, who is defending the city tower.

It's better to bet that "your own reinforcements will come faster than Zhang Fei's".

In the middle of the night, the fighting finally subsided.

……

In the middle of the night, Zhang Fei's bloody battle finally gave up the strong attack temporarily, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Because the city gate was in his hands, he immediately sorted out the situation here, sent a messenger to the canal quietly, drove a small boat, and reported to Zhuge Jin by the river at the mouth of the river.

On the bank of the Yangtze River at the mouth of the Hangou River, Zhuge Jin's boat is a nine-zhang long river-sea dual-purpose boat, which is similar to the shape of the sand boat in the later Tang and Song dynasties, but slightly more primitive.

The Han Dynasty folded two meters and three meters per zhang, so it was only twenty-one meters, which is not an exaggeration, and this is also the largest clipper that the Mi Zhu family can find.

If Mi Zhu hadn't promised to send him the best and fastest ships and the most skilled sailors, and also found some personal guards from Mi Fang, Zhuge Jin would not have been willing to go so close to the front line and personally lead this supply fleet of white-clothed people crossing the river.

However, after considering this matter, he may have to send someone to Chaisang to contact his uncle Zhuge Xuan and inquire about the current situation of his second brother Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Jin felt that it was inconvenient for him to stay in Haixi County, and sooner or later he would have to come to Guangling, which had more convenient transportation.

After all, Guangling is an important port city along the Yangtze River, and it is very convenient to go upriver along the Yangtze River, whether it is to go to Chaisang in Jiangxi, or Jiangxia and Xiangyang in Jingzhou.

And now that he is doing more things, he will have an excuse to get a few familiar clippers and do his own thing.

For so many comprehensive considerations, Zhuge Jin finally took a little risk himself, came to Guangling in advance to find out the bottom, and helped Zhang Fei control the rhythm and details by the way.

At this moment, in the middle of the night, Zhuge Jin got Zhang Fei's envoy to come over in a small boat to report the situation, and he listened carefully and patiently.

Regarding Zhang Fei's worries, "why did the enemy suddenly stop attacking, can the soldiers be allowed to sleep in turns to recover their strength, and does it take most of them to stay up all night" and so on.

Zhuge Jin thought for a while, and quickly gave the answer: "It is enough to divide the troops into two groups and take turns to be on duty at night, since the enemy has stopped at this moment, most of them can stop until dawn, so that the soldiers can rest and recover their strength." ”

The messenger still didn't understand something, so he implored Zhuge Jin to analyze and understand it a little more.

Zhuge Jin analyzed it in depth with confidence: "It's very simple, it must be that the enemy army is temporarily unable to recapture the city tower, so he wants to wait for reinforcements and wait for the general to preside over the overall situation."

If nothing else, although General Zhendong will rush to the army immediately after breaking Liu Xun, the main force of the Xuzhou army is infantry after all, and it is normal to arrive a day or two later.

Although the main force of Liu Xun's army may not be able to outrun the rushing troops of General Zhendong, there is still Chen Lan under Liu Xun's command to lead the cavalry, so the cavalry troops of the Lujiang army must have arrived on the battlefield before the infantry reinforcements of our army.

The defenders of Guangling are now waiting for the real Chen Lan to come back, and they are personally responsible for the overall situation and besieging the 'fake Chen Lan'. ”

After listening to this, the messenger suddenly realized, reported a lot of situations, asked for some precautions, Zhuge Jin also answered them one by one, and the messenger rushed back to the city to report to Zhang Fei.

The two places are several miles apart, and such a staff officer is already the limit of Zhuge Jin now, and it is not a remote micro-operation blind command. And Zhuge Jin's location is on the edge of the Yangtze River, if there is really any accident, he can also directly put the boat and drift down the river.

On the other side, after Zhang Fei was rewarded, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. In his opinion, the things that were incomprehensible, as soon as Mr. Ziyu analyzed them, they immediately felt like seeing them in person, and even thought more clearly than the enemy.

After the mood was settled, Zhang Fei also tried his best to tell the soldiers about this analysis and encourage them.

When everyone heard that there would probably not be an attack in the second half of the night, the sleeping soldiers were relieved.

And the next morning, I found that this was the case, and the soldiers' trust in Zhang Fei was also improved again, and they also had a deeper understanding of Zhuge Jin's magic calculation.

Everyone thinks that as long as they follow the master's plan, they will definitely win.

When the invisible morale is boosted, everything is much easier.

This kind of battle to the end is sometimes to see whose nerves are tougher and more persistent. Zhang Fei can make the soldiers hold on to the belief of victory for two whole days, which is stronger than anything else.

……

As the night passed, the time came to the early morning of August 11.

The cavalry of Chen Lan, who was seventy or eighty miles behind Zhang Fei, finally arrived in Guangling County before dawn.

It's a pity that the main force of Liu Xun's cavalry is Lei Bo, and after Lei Bo gave it to him, the number of cavalry Chen Lan brought back was actually not much, only six or seven hundred horsemen. There are not as many people as Zhang Fei's surprise attack troops.

And after Chen Lan heard that Zhang Fei pretended to be a friendly soldier and deceived the Northeast City Tower, of course she asked the defenders to fight back with all their might at any cost.

And the cavalry he brought was tired from the journey and needed to rest and recover first, so he let the original infantry units in the city go first, and the cavalry would not be needed to attack the fortification anyway.

The Guangling guard wasted half the night, only waiting for such a little reinforcement, and couldn't help but be disappointed.

Originally, they thought that after Chen Lan arrived, their strength would be qualitatively changed, and they would be able to have a large number of new troops to fight directly in battle.

In the end, I just waited for an uncle who stood and talked without backache, and the work of enduring hardships and dying was still done by the original person, and everyone was resentful.

But there is no way, Liu Xun has not rushed back yet, and now the military generals in Guangling City are the largest in Chen Lan, and his orders must be executed.

The counteroffensive in the first half of yesterday night was mainly the contribution of the regular troops in the defenders.

So this morning, Chen Lan ordered Zhang Duo, the former Chaohu marshal who didn't contribute much last night, to be the main attacker, and admonished him not to be cowardly, otherwise the military law would be engaged.

Zhang Duo frowned and was at a loss.

Before going into battle, he had to go to find Liu Ye, a famous man who brought him to vote for Liu Xun a few months ago, hoping that Liu Ye would come forward to Chen Lan to say good things, so as not to let his troops and Zhang Fei waste in vain.
