In the middle of the night, there was silence in Xunyang City, only the footsteps of soldiers patrolling the city walls echoed. The castle is as solid as stone, and the tall walls look particularly majestic in the moonlight.

However, the defenders of the city were in disarray, and the soldiers were demoralized. Some of the soldiers leaned against the city walls, as if reunited with their families in their dreams.

Their eyes were full of helplessness and despair.

Wang Shi has been defeated repeatedly.

Those of them who are the big soldiers also feel that the future is bleak.

In addition, whether it was Lu Xun going out of the city to attack the Han army camp at night, or Gu Yong going to pick up Xu Sheng.

The soldiers taken away were all the elite of the Xunyang defenders.

was selected for two waves of elite divisions, and the rest were naturally crooked melons and cracked dates.

Gray-haired, and milky soldiers can be seen everywhere.

Many generals paced in the city, and they all had an enlightenment.

At this critical moment, Xun must boost morale and stabilize the morale of the army.

They knew very well that only by uniting together could they resist the attack of the Han army.

However, the chaos in the city made their minds uneasy.

Especially the person who is the tallest in the current Wu military officer, and now he is still enjoying himself in his luxurious mansion with a beauty!

"Rush~"

"Kill~"

At this time, in the darkness outside the city, where the five fingers could not be seen, the attack of the Han army seemed to become more and more fierce.

The sound of shouting and killing seems to be able to pass through the cold wind of the early spring night to the city of Xunyang.

At this time, someone exclaimed.

"There's an army under the city!"

The originally lazy Sun-seeking defenders suddenly became nervous one by one.

They all got up and turned their heads to look down at the city.

I saw a large army appear thousands of kilometers outside the city, and the light of the torches was very dazzling.

It stretches for a long time, like a fiery dragon in the night.

Everyone in Xunyang City was nervous at first, but soon put their minds at ease.

I saw that the army under the city was fighting the banner of the Wu army, and the person at the head was still Gu Yong.

"Open the city gate quickly, General Xu Sheng has been wiped out by the Han army, and we have lost the reason to respond. The Han army outside the city may pounce on Xunyang at any time and open the city gate quickly! ”

Xu Sheng has already been defeated?

Everyone was surprised, but after thinking about it, they immediately drove away the suspicions in their hearts.

Oh, yes!

The Han army was already the elite, and the number was several times that of Xu Sheng's department, and Xu Sheng's department was surrounded for several hours.

But the captain who guarded the city gate still did not dare to open the city gate in vain.

"General Gu later, stay down and find General Sun, and then make a decision."

A quarter of an hour later.

Sun Huan was pulled up.

At this moment, there was a look of displeasure on his face.

Halfway through this mussel opening, I was repeatedly disturbed, and as long as it was a man, I couldn't get better.

If he is scared a few more times, I am afraid that his little brother will not be able to be hard.

"Brother Gu, what's going on?"

I saw Sun Huan coming.

Gu Yong immediately said: "Xu Sheng has been broken by the Han army, and the Han army may rush to Xunyang at any time, and please open the city gate quickly." ”

Xu Sheng was broken?

Sun Huan didn't fluctuate in his heart, and even two words unconsciously appeared in his heart:

Good death!

Didn't you swagger before?

Now it's okay, and I'm going to die directly with the elite of my own headquarters.

Xu Sheng died outside Xunyang City, not because he Sun Huan didn't support, he had already supported, but unfortunately, Xu Sheng didn't hold out until the support came.

No matter how much the guilt is discussed, the blame cannot reach him.

Sun Huan showed a relieved expression on his face, and immediately said to the captain of the city gate: "Open the city gate, my Wu army has already lost 3,000 people, and we can't lose another 4,000 people!" ”

When the sky fell, there were tall men on top of it, and after the captain of the city gate received the order, he immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.

Squeak squeak~

There was a sore sound from the Xunyang City Gate, and then the city gate opened and the drawbridge was lowered.

Gu Yong immediately led the army into the city slowly.

Sun Huan was just about to walk down the city wall to greet Gu Yong.

But before he could get down the city wall, he saw a commotion under the city.

Then.

The chaos is getting louder.

The army, which had entered the city in an orderly manner, suddenly began to rush wildly.

Could it be that the Han army outside the city is attacking?

Sun Huan's thought just came up, but the scene he saw threw out all this thought.

I saw that the sergeants who rushed into the city were not embarrassed, but shouted, cutting people when they saw them, and killing people when they saw them!

And listening to the accent of his speech, it is not Wu Yin at all, but the accent of the barbarians, Jingzhou, and Yizhou people.

This is the Han Army!

This is not Wu Jun at all!

Sun Huan's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

Gu Yong

Is it a traitor?

We've got a traitor in the middle!

Sun Huan's heart trembled suddenly, and the pain of betrayal was like a sharp arrow, shooting straight into his heart.

The surprise, like a sudden cold snap, froze his heart. There was a bleak gleam in his eyes, a question of the world, a disappointment in human nature. His lips twitched slightly, but he couldn't say a word.

A brother who can fellowship with his own life would betray him?

The pain of betrayal spread through his heart, and the pain went deep into his bones. He felt as if he was in endless darkness, and there was a cold silence around him. He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his knuckles turning pale from overexertion.

But Sun Huan knew in his heart that he couldn't let this pain take over.

Drive these Han troops out, and Xunyang City will still be able to defend it!

Taking a deep breath, he struggled to calm himself down.

"It was the Han army that rushed into the city, and General Ben drove these Han troops out of the city!"

However, Sun Huan shouted again, but there were few responders.

The Wu army, which was originally defending the city, was not an elite division, and now it was raided and killed by the Han army.

One by one, their morale had collapsed, and they all ran towards the west gate.

The defeat was like a mountain.

Now the scene in Xunyang City is like this.

"General, retreat! If you don't withdraw, you won't have a chance. ”

The guards hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade them.

"Xunyang City is lost in my hands, what face do I have to face the king?"

As he spoke, he pulled out the sword at his waist, and he wanted to kill himself.

"The general can't, leave it to be useful, so that he can make meritorious service and wash away the shame, besides, it's not that the general is not good at fighting, it's just that the metropolitan governor Lu Xun is too aggressive, and the Han army is too cunning."

The guards have followed Sun Huan for many years, and they also know the temperament of their own generals.

He just wants to go down a staircase.

Really.

Hearing this, Sun Huan immediately put the sword back into his sheath.

"You're right, the eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, how can he kill himself because of a small setback, this is the performance of a coward, I almost missed a big thing! Xunyang City can't be defended, but the soldiers who fled need someone to collect and follow me out of the city! ”

Xunyang City was lost, and Sun Huan was naturally very frightened.

But the saddest thing in his heart now is still Mei Ji in the mansion.

It's a beautiful woman with a great appearance, but it's a pity that the situation is chaotic now and can't be taken away.

It's going to be cheap again.

Sun Huan fled down the city, Gu Yong didn't know if he was guilty or had some other ulterior secrets, so he didn't send troops to chase him, and watched Sun Huan escape from the north gate.

For Sun Huan, it is not his task to kill and injure as many Wu Jun as possible now.

His task is to completely control Xunyang.

There are families of front-line Wu army sergeants in Xunyang City, and there are a lot of Wu army grain and grass piled up.

Obtaining this place, the problem of grain and grass of the Han army can solve many problems.

But

It's not easy to swallow them all.

For example, now, in the direction of the west of the city, there is already a fire in the sky.

That's where the granary of the city is.

He didn't have much energy to pursue the fleeing Wu army.

But it was not easy for the Wu army who escaped from the city to escape.

After all, outside the city, Ah Huinan and Wen Ping, leading the elites of various departments, are waiting to eat these Wu army routs!

Gu Yong had heard of the reputation of Ah Huinan and Wen Ping, and his soldiers had also seen it when they were ambushed in Wangjiagu.

I am afraid that most of the Wu army who escaped from the city will become prisoners of the Han army, or the souls of the dead under the sword.

Zhang Bao has a big appetite.

It can be described as both and both.

It is necessary not only to take Xunyang City, but also to kill and injure as many Wu troops as possible.

The next time for him is to clear the city.

Take Xunyang and kill tens of thousands of Wu troops, with his merits, it seems that he may also find a marquis?

Thinking of this, Gu Yong's heart suddenly warmed up.

"Firelight? In the direction of Xunyang City, how can there be fire? ”

In the middle of the night, ten miles apart, and in the plain area, the firelight in Xunyang City was ten miles away, and the red light that appeared in the middle of the night could already be seen.

"The Han army is attacking Xunyang!"

Xu Sheng knew that his chance to break through had arrived.

"The whole army changes formations and breaks through!"

The soldiers in the formation didn't want to stay here and wait for death for a long time, and under the order, they quickly turned into a sharp arrow formation.

Which way to break through?

Looking for the sun?

There must be countless Han troops here.

Xu Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "Break through to the north!" ”

He had been reckless and willful once, and as a result, he almost lost all the 3,000 people under his command.

Now he has to be cautious.

Looking for the city?

When I'm out of danger, I'll come to the rescue!

Zhang Bao could naturally see the changes in Xu Sheng's department.

"Breaking through to the north?"

Zhang Bao looked pity.

It's a pity that in order to ensure that Xunyang is taken, he has already transferred 3,000 soldiers to follow Gu Yong into Xunyang Town to suppress the remnants of the city, resulting in the four lines of defense that now surround Xu Sheng, only the defense line towards Xunyang is fully manned, and the other three sides are basically undefended.

At this moment, there were only a few hundred people in the north of Xu Sheng's breakthrough.

"Let him go!"

If you want to eat Xu Sheng's elite, you must mobilize the army.

But

Now that Xunyang has taken it, whether Xu Sheng takes it down or not is irrelevant.

Meanwhile.

In Yuping Mountain.

The Wu army broke through in all directions.

Lu Xun's 1,000 men actually broke through the defense line of the Han army and rushed out of the range of Yuping Mountain.

However.

Lu Xun, who broke through the defense line, was not happy on his face.

"Something is wrong!"

Wrong?

What's wrong?

Immediately, a subordinate official of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion stepped forward to inquire.

"Governor, I'm now on escape, what's wrong?"

"There were many Han troops before, and we couldn't break through the Han army's defense line with four thousand people, how can we now become a thousand people, but we can break through the Han army's defense line?"

It's so abnormal.

"Our army is divided into four divisions, and the Han army also has to be intercepted on all sides, and it is normal for the encirclement to be untimely and have loopholes."

Breakout and encirclement.

It's all a technical job.

If you are not careful, let go of the enemy, that is also a very normal thing.

"I hope so!"

No matter what, if he escapes from Yuping Mountain, he, a thousand people, will not become a burden on the Yuping Mountain cottage, and there is still a chance to stay in Xunyang, prepare the armor, sum up the lessons and lessons, and defend Xunyang.

However.

When Lu Xun got closer and closer to Xunyang, he was startled by the firelight in the direction of Xunyang.

"In the middle of the night, how can there be fire in the direction of Xunyang City?"

In Lu Xun's heart, he already had a bad premonition.

And after approaching Xunyang for ten miles, Lu Xun saw the Wu soldiers who had escaped from Xunyang.

I also learned about the situation of Xunyang.

"Sunhunting City is broken?"

Lu Xun's face immediately turned pale, but immediately an unhealthy flush appeared on his face.

"It can't be! Xunyang City is strong, and there are still nearly 20,000 defenders in the city, so it is impossible for it to be broken so quickly. ”

It's only been a few days?

Even if it's a small town, it's not just about spending time.

After Xunyang was strengthened and repaired by him, it can already be called a strong city.

The fortified city was captured in less than three days?

Are the defenders of the city pigs?

"General Sun was deceived into the city by the Han army, and it is not guaranteed to find the sun."

Burst~

Hearing this, Lu Xun immediately squirted a mouthful of old blood and immediately fainted.

"The Grand Duke, the Grand Duke!"

The subordinate officials of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion immediately helped Lu Xun up.

"The current plan is to get out of the battlefield first!"

Xunyang is lost, which must be bad news for Wu Guo.

But it's just as important for them to survive!

Early the next morning.

The chaos in Xunyang City has basically been pacified.

After all, Gu Yong was originally a defender of Xunyang, and he knew the situation in Xunyang City very well.

As soon as he entered Xunyang City, he controlled all the key parts in his hands.

After visiting the mansion of the local Haoqiang clan and getting their support, Xunyang City became the city of the Han State from the hands of the Wu State.

After not sleeping all night, Gu Yong's face was a little haggard.

But those eyes were very bright, and the expression was very excited.

Guy is about to meet the legendary prince of the Han Kingdom, Liu Gonghe.

How can he not get excited to see such a character?

"It's coming, it's coming! Your Highness is coming! ”

I saw that outside Xunyang City, a black dot gradually appeared in the distance, and with the passage of time, this black dot gradually turned into a black line.

After a while, you can clearly see the military formation of the Han army, as well as the royal banner of Liu Chan, the prince of the Han Kingdom.

Everyone immediately greeted them, and the generals in Xunyang City, as well as Zhang Bao'a Huinan and others, knelt on the ground one after another.

"I'll wait to meet His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Liu Chan jumped down from his horse and stepped forward to help Gu Yong up.

"You have made great achievements, you don't need to be polite, get up!"

Although last night's battle was not perfect.

Xu Sheng ran away, and Lu Xun also ran away.

But there's no way around it.

In order to get Xunyang City, Liu Chan not only transferred the 3,000 mobile men and horses hired by Wen, but also asked Ah Huinan to lead the elite of the Wudang Flying Army to support Xunyang.

Originally, there were plenty of troops, and Lu Xun's thousands of people could be transferred, but because of the lack of troops, he ran out of 2,000 people, and only drove 2,000 people to the Yuping Mountain cottage.

But.

Being able to win Xunyang is already the biggest victory.

Xunyang was taken, and the Xunyang defense line carefully arranged by Wu was declared to have been broken through by the Han State.

The remaining strongholds, such as Yuping Mountain Cottage and Jigong Mountain Cottage, are difficult to gnaw, and Liu Chan has no intention of attacking them.

Onslaught brings losses.

And attacking the heart, consuming their food and grass sharpness, can make them surrender without a fight.

After laying down Xunyang, Liu Chan had time to spend with them.

"Your Highness, a banquet has been set up in the city, please!"

Looking for the city to break, Liu Chan was very happy.

Of course

At this moment, in addition to wanting to reward him, he was also thinking about how to squeeze benefits from Wu Guo.

After all, Liu Chan's defeat of Wu is just a cover.

This time, Wu Guo's defense line was broken, and Sun Quan definitely couldn't sit still.

If he sent an army of the whole country over, the tens of thousands of horses under Liu Chan's hands might not be able to fight the other side.

Case.

squeezed the interests of Wu and transfused blood for the Northern Expedition of the Han State!

After the great victory, if you want to ask for peace.

Land reparations, that is definitely indispensable.
