Chapter 195: The Battle of Xiakou

Zhu Zhi heard the sudden scream, knew that the target had been exposed, and looked at Cheng Pu beside him with a smile and said, "Brother, will you command or will I come?" ”

Cheng Pufu said with a smile: "You and my brother, do you still need to be so polite?" You just command, I won't take credit from you. ”

Zhu Zhi nodded, and said to the commander behind him: "Beat the drum, march!" ”

The commanders roared in unison: "Beat the drums! Enter! ”

Suddenly, the sound of war drums sounded throughout the river.

The original dense fog seemed to be shaken by the sound of war drums and dissipated somewhat.

As the war drums sounded, on the Xiakou dock, the Jiangxia defenders were instantly awakened.

The roars came and went.

Countless soldiers have converged towards the dock fortifications!

In the handsome tent, Huang Jie slept soundly.

The sudden sound of the drums frightened him and almost rolled off the bed.

He didn't even have time to put on his clothes, so he ran out of the tent and rushed towards the dock.

His face was so pale that there was not a trace of blood.

This is definitely a night attack on Lujiang County!

How could Lujiang County know about Jiangxia's situation?

When Huang Jie hurriedly ran to the dock, the Jiangxia defenders of the dock were already attacking the enemy forces in the dense fog on their own.

But, too many!

Too much!

The enemy warships were connected with iron chains, erected sails, and under the impetus of the breeze, they directly broke through the Jiangxia warships on the dock and rushed into the dock.

Countless enemy troops rushed out of the warship like ghosts, roared, stepped on the warship, rushed ashore, and fought with the Jiangxia defenders!

The Jiangxia defenders held out for only a quarter of an hour.

With a steady stream, the enemy army that seemed to have no end was like a divine soldier descending from the sky and killing ashore, and the Jiangxia garrison gradually could not support it, and was constantly forced to retreat.

Huang Jian looked at this scene, like falling into an ice cellar, his whole body was cold and stiff.

So many enemy troops!

I'm afraid it's several times the Jiangxia garrison.

Can't stop it at all!

"Major General, I can't support it, retreat quickly! Evacuate to the city, we still have a chance to live! A general rushed to Huang Shot's side and reminded loudly.

Huang Jie came back to his senses at this time, and while turning around and running, he trembled and said, "Where's my horse!" Lead my horse! Withdraw! Retreat into the city - no, retreat to Xiling City! ”

Xiling City, Jiangxia County Administration, the city is high and thick.

The generals escorted Huang Jie towards Xiling City.

The Jiangxia defenders saw that the commander Huang Shot took the lead in retreating, and the defense line collapsed instantly.

The navy of Lujiang County poured ashore like a tide, chasing the Jiangxia defenders all the way.

Xiakou Dungeon.

At this time, Gan Ning and the others, who were being imprisoned here, also heard the sound of fighting in the distance.

The faces of the crowd turned pale one by one.

Gan Ning hurriedly motioned for everyone to be quiet, threw himself on the ground, and put his ears to the ground.

After listening to the vibration of the ground for a while, Gan Ning's eyes were full of bloodshots, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's over!" Jiangxia is over! The enemy is here! ”

At that moment, the sound of chains being opened was heard outside the dungeon.

A jailer hurriedly opened the door of the dungeon, rushed in, and opened the doors of one cell after another with a trembling voice: "The enemy army has been killed ashore, and the major general has retreated in the direction of Xiling City, you should also flee!" Otherwise, the enemy will come in and you will surely die! ”

When the prisoners in the dungeon heard the jailer say this, they rushed outside.

Gan Ning also rushed out of the cell with his brothers.

As soon as he rushed to the door of the cell, he saw the Jiangxia defenders rushing towards this side one by one.

Behind them, one enemy after another was chased.

These enemy troops caught up with the Jiangxia defenders and directly threw the opponent to the ground, or stabbed the latter in the heart, or cut off the head.

Seeing that a Jiangxia defender was holding a bow and arrow and carrying a quiver, but he didn't dare to cast an arrow, he just blindly ran away, Gan Ning kicked the Jiangxia defender to the ground.

When the Jiangxia defenders fell to the ground, Gan Ning pounced, snatched the bow and arrow from his hand, and bent the bow and arrow at the murderous enemy who caught up.

With the sound of arrows, the enemy soldiers who had been chasing them fell in a pool of blood.

However, instead of being deterred by Gan Ning's arrows, more and more enemy troops roared and killed.

Gan Ning beckoned his brothers to retreat wildly while continuing to shoot arrows one after another.

Soon, however, all the arrows in the quiver behind him were gone, and only one remained.

Gan Ning's face changed suddenly, and he was about to shoot the last one.

Suddenly, he found that among the enemy troops chasing behind him, one of them was extremely brave, like a terrible ghost, catching up with the Jiangxia defenders, one by one!

This person is none other than Sima Lingcao.

Xu Sheng, Ling Cao and Zhou Tai rushed to the front every time.

Now seeing that the Jiangxia defenders completely broke and fled, the three of them didn't think about it, and directly pursued and killed the past.

These Jiangxia defenders were so frightened that they lost their souls one by one, and there was no enemy for them in a round!

However, just as they were red-eyed, they actually saw one of the retreating Jiangxia defenders in front of them bending his bow and arrows, constantly shooting arrows at the soldiers behind them.

The opponent's archery skills are extremely exquisite, and the arrows are not missed.

For every arrow fired, a soldier fell in a pool of blood.

Ling Cao was furious, and rushed directly towards Gan Ning with a big knife.

He was bound to hack this marksman to death by the knife!

Zhou Tai and Xu Sheng, who were red-eyed by Ling Cao's side, also noticed Gan Ning's existence.

Seeing that Ling Cao actually rushed forward alone, Xu Sheng and Zhou Tai abandoned the other fleeing Jiangxia defenders and chased after Ling Cao.

To Ling Cao's ecstasy, Gan Ning quickly shot all the arrows in the quiver behind him.

Ling Cao yelled, sped up, and chased after him.

Gan Ning watched Ling Cao catch up, hurriedly hid the last arrow in front of him, pretended to be extremely scared, and fell directly to the ground.

Ling Cao rushed to him, raised his big knife and was about to cut down.

Gan Ning raised his head suddenly, picked up the last arrow, and raised his hand to shoot at Ling Cao.

This move was completely beyond Ling Cao's expectations!

Seeing the arrow rapidly enlarge in front of him, Ling Cao's eyes shrank sharply.

The next moment, the arrow shot directly into the center of his forehead!

Gan Ning saw that he had it, got up and ran away.

Ling Cao raised the big knife and froze in place.

Xu Sheng chased after him, ran directly past him and said, "Why are you stunned?" Chase! ”

Zhou Tai was originally going to follow.

As he passed by Ling Cao, who was frozen, he glanced back.

His footsteps stopped instantly.

I saw an arrow nailed into Ling Cao's forehead, and red and white things sprayed out from the wound.

Zhou Tai lost his voice and said: "Lao Ling! ”

Ling Cao slowly raised his head and looked at Zhou Tai, his eyes were full of reluctance and unwillingness: "Tell Wu Hou, Tong'er will be in trouble-"

Ling Cao didn't finish his words after all, and fell forward, falling heavily to the ground.

Zhou Tai hurriedly ran back.

Hurriedly picked up Ling Cao from the ground and reached out to probe his snort.

Zhou Tai's body trembled like chaff and said, "Lao Ling! ”

The big war continues!

Of the 40,000 sailors led by Zhu Zhi, only 10,000 landed in Xiakou.

After a short stop at Xiakou, Zhu Zhi asked Han Dang to lead 5,000 naval troops to defend Xiakou, and at the same time approached Xiling City, and Zhang Liao, who was about to attack from the land, attacked Jiangxia.

And Zhu Zhi himself led the remaining more than 30,000 sailors and continued to attack Hanjin Port!

Soldiers are fast.

Now that Jingzhou is in civil strife, it is necessary to take advantage of Huang Zuchi's aid to Xiangyang to catch Jingzhou off guard!

Sure enough, the Jingzhou defenders of Hanjin Port did not expect Zhu Zhi to attack at all.

They only watched Huang Zu lead an army of 6,000 to pass by this morning, thinking that Jiangxia was foolproof.

But he didn't expect that Zhu Zhi's army would come in a mighty way!

The battle lasted only two hours.

The 5,000 defenders of Hanjin Port were all annihilated!

Zhu Zhi stayed in Hanjin Port for a day and counted the results of the two wars.

What made Zhu Zhi and Cheng Pu a little sad was that in this night attack, in addition to killing nearly 500 sailors, seriously injuring more than 300 people, and lightly injuring more than 3,000 people, the Lujiang navy also lost a brave and good fighting Sima-

Ling Cao.

Ling Cao is the head of the Ling family in Wu County, he is young, and he is one of the two young generals personally promoted by Wu Hou Lu Yi.

The other is Xu Sheng.

Ling Cao's son, Ling Tong, was still in Wu County at this time, with Lu Xun and others.

Before going to Lujiang and Xuzhou, Wuhou and Lu Yi took these people with them.

Now, let Wuhou Lu Yi know that Ling Cao died in battle-

Zhu Zhi watched Zhou Tai and Xu Sheng crying profusely, and they all fell silent.

Late that night, Zhu Zhi received a letter from Tai Shici in front of him.

Tai Shi Ci and Changsha Hengjie have broken through Wulin Port, taken Jiangling County, and went straight to Yicheng!

Zhu Zhi didn't have time to continue to be sad, leaving Chen Wu to lead a thousand troops to sit in Hanjin Port and clean up the battlefield, while he himself led more than 30,000 other troops to gather towards Yicheng!

Two days later, at noon, Zhu Zhi's army met Tai Shici and his army in Yicheng.

Chen Deng and Gao Shun are also in the ranks of the Heng Rank.

Tai Shici introduced Hengjie and others to Zhu Zhi, Cheng Pu and others.

And Zhu Zhi reported to Chen Deng the news of Ling Cao's death.

Chen Deng sighed and comforted: "The general died in a hundred battles, and there is no way to do it. When you see Wu Hou, I will tell him about this misfortune, so don't take it to heart. ”

"We hit here this time, even if the news of Jingzhou is late, we will know that we are coming."

"Before, we relied on Wu Hou's intelligence, and we caught others off guard."

"But then, the enemy must be prepared."

"Do not despise any enemy."

"Everyone has to give it their all."

Everyone responded in unison.

The army was about to move forward, and a general galloped on a war horse and said, "Report! Generals, there are two ragged people in front of you, claiming to be Huo Jun and Wei Yan, the former generals of Jingzhou, who want to see the generals! ”

Chen Deng said: "Bring them over!" ”

The general rode away.

After a while, he came with two men.

Sure enough, it was Huo Jun and Wei Yan.

Chen Dengce immediately stepped forward and said, "I am Chen Deng, the acting commander here. ”

Huo Jun prostrate on the ground and said, "Huo Jun, the former captain of Jingzhou City Defense, has seen the general!" ”

Wei Yan also said: "Wei Yan, the former Jiangling general of Jingzhou!" ”

Chen Deng glanced at Huo Jun and Wei Yan and said, "Why are you here?" ”

Huo Jun raised his head, gritted his teeth and said: "Jingzhou Mu was killed in Xiangyang City, my brother was killed by Cai Mao, I originally asked Liu Pan to immediately attack the city, kill Cai Mao, and avenge Jingzhou Mu and my brother." However, Liu Pan, that idiot, was afraid of being responsible, so he missed the opportunity to break the city! ”

"Wen Chang and I originally wanted to leave Jingzhou and go to Jiangdong."

"Unexpectedly, the general actually led the army to kill here with lightning speed."

"General, Wen Chang and I are willing to pawn!"

"We know that there is a small road that can reach the south of Xiangyang City faster!"
