Chapter 20 Is Jingzhou Lost? [Seeking to follow-up]
The remnant sun is like blood, and the sunset is setting.
The afterglow of the red sun slowly setting in the west also seemed to illuminate the bloodstains stained on the walls of Gangneung more and more red.
"Dingding......
With the sound of a golden sound, the various units of the Wu army that were besieging the city quickly withdrew like a tide.
Seeing the Wu soldiers retreating, the defenders in the city breathed a long sigh of relief, and their faces relaxed slightly.
Then the soldiers quickly fell under the city wall and rested briefly.
After a fierce battle, they once again repelled the offensive of the Wu army.
Huo Yi held on to the female wall and panted slightly, his face was covered with blood, and his eyes were no longer relaxed before the battle, and his eyes were a little solemn, looking into the distance.
The Wu soldiers have been attacking the city for three days in a row, although they have all been repulsed, but the Huo family army on the city plus their own personal troops is only more than 3,000 people, and they have hardly had to rest under Lu Meng's wheel tactics to attack in turn.
Nowadays, there is a lot of physical loss.
All the soldiers will be paralyzed at this moment, and the city will be faintly depressed.
The blood stains on the city and under the city stained the surroundings, and the corpses could be seen everywhere, which was very bloody.
When night came again, the defenders of Jingzhou seized the time to rest.
……
And when the battle was raging in Jiangling City, the Jingzhou military camp on the Xiangfan front line was also brightly lit at this time.
Since Xiangyang had not yet been conquered, Guan Yu divided the army into two parts.
More than 10,000 people were stationed on the south bank of the Han River, stationed in all directions, and cut off the connection between Xiangyang and Fancheng on both sides of the river.
The main general Guan Yu personally raised more than 20,000 people to camp on the north bank, on the one hand, to storm Fancheng, and on the other hand, it was also convenient to contact the counties and counties of the Central Plains and the responding forces in the subordinate places to threaten the safety of Xu Du.
After Guan Ping was ordered to recruit 5,000 troops to the north for reinforcements, Guan Yu directly ordered more than 5,000 of his troops to be stationed on the north side of Fancheng in order to increase the siege of the city, and guard against Xu Huang's troops in Yanglingpi.
In the camp, the candlelight in the big tent is still lit, eight feet long, dressed in a navy blue robe, with a ruddy complexion, as if there are some red phoenix eyes, and a middle-aged man who is over forty years old is bowing down on the desk to deal with military affairs, very meticulous.
"Major General Qiyu, someone from Jiangling asked to see you, saying that there is something important to see you~"
As the sound of footsteps outside the tent sounded, the middle-aged man couldn't help but raise his head and said in a little surprise: "Oh? Someone from behind? Could it be that something happened in Jingzhou? ”
As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man seemed to have a solemn expression, put down the pen in his hand to approve the official document, and said in a deep voice: "Xuan Qi entered~"
"If something really happens in the rear, you can't delay!"
"Yes!"
When these words fell, the sword-wielding attendant quickly surrendered his hand and rushed out.
This forty-year-old is naturally Guan Ping, the eldest son of Guan Yu, the former general of the Jingzhou Theater.
His current department is responsible for preventing Xu Huang's troops stationed in Yanglingpo from going south.
There was a sound of footsteps, and the attendant led the man in a black robe and a hat into the tent.
"See Major General below~"
Seeing this, Guan Ping knew that the matter was urgent, so he quickly waved his hand and asked straight to the point: "You said that you came from Nanjun, I don't know who sent you to the front line?" ”
"Could it be that something has changed in Jingzhou this time?"
A word was spitted out, and he couldn't hide the deep worry in his heart, and he continued to inquire one after another.
The man in black quickly took off his hat and said in a deep voice:
"Major General Qiyu, who is a subordinate of General Zhijiang Huo, was specially ordered to rush to the front line for days to tell the major general that Jiangdong had secretly assembled most of the troops and wanted to take advantage of the emptiness in my rear to attack the counties of Jingzhou."
"I hope that the major general can quickly persuade General Guan to return to the army to save him."
As soon as the words fell, the messenger quickly told the general An Han that Mi Zhu had come to the king's order to entitle Huo Yi to inherit the position of his father, General Pi, and bring his troops to assist General Guan and his own generals to inform him of the imminent attack on Jiangdong and send him to report urgently.
When these words fell, Guan Ping's expression suddenly became serious, and he exclaimed, "What? Did Jiangdong really attack Jingzhou? ”
"Exactly~"
"At present, General Huo of my family has led the old troops to Jiangling City along the Zhijiang River to help preside over the overall situation."
"It's just that the main forces are currently on the front line, I'm afraid it won't last long, and the major general must persuade General Guan to return as soon as possible."
The black-clad messenger replied loudly.
As soon as the words fell, Guan Ping stood up in an instant, how could he still calm down and continue to deal with military affairs.
His mind was full of dangerous pictures in the rear at this time.
It's just that Guan Ping groaned slightly, looked at it solemnly, and asked in a loud voice: "Do you tell the former general about such urgent military affairs?" ”
"Major General Qiyu, I will come directly to meet you when I go down to the front line, I am afraid that General Guan does not know about this yet."
"What?" As soon as these words came out, Guan Ping suddenly looked unhappy and scolded: "Why don't you report such an urgent matter to the former general first?" ”
"If you delay the military situation, can you afford it?"
Seeing that he was furious in an instant, exuding endless power all over his body, a few points of fear appeared on the face of the man in black, and he arched his hand:
"It was General Huo who asked the villain to come directly to the Major General without going through General Guan~"
"Huh? Why is that? ”
Hearing the cause and effect, Guan Ping's anger gradually dissipated and regained his rather kind tone, and he was surprised.
"General Huo said that General Guan had an arrogant temperament, and this time he flooded the Seventh Army and broke the Cao army, and he must have determined the strategy of conquering Xiangyang and Fancheng first."
"I'm worried that General Guan will not pay attention to this matter for a while because the front line has not broken through Fancheng, so that the rear prefectures and counties will be in danger......"
After hearing the sprinkled words, Guan Ping was not half annoyed, he pondered for a while and nodded quite agreeably, and said secretly:
"Huo Zhongmiao's son is so talented, he has such a thorough understanding of his father's temperament."
As he said, Guan Ping knows his father's temperament best, and he is quite arrogant, and this time he has achieved a great victory, he will become more and more arrogant, thinking that Cao Ying has no good generals.
If this news reaches his case first, I am afraid that he will really pay attention to it when Fan Cheng is not down.
Thinking to himself for a while, Guan Ping also thought about it in his heart.
Immediately, Guan Ping quickly took off his cloak from the shelf next to him, draped it on his body, and prepared to leave the camp to meet his father Guan Yu in person, and inform Jiangdong of the details of his intended sneak attack, so as to return to the rear in time.
"Report ......"
"What happened to make the camp so messy?"
As soon as he walked out of the tent, he suddenly heard a loud noise in the camp, as if the soldiers of the battalion were talking endlessly.
Guan Ping's expression sank, and he questioned the person who came to confess.
Seeing this, the person who came looked serious, and said anxiously:
"Major General Qiyu, Xu Huang's headquarters in the north suddenly touched the periphery of the camp and shot arrows into the camp."
"However, the arrows are tied with letters, saying that the Jiangdong Sun clan has allied with our army and is now preparing a plan to attack the counties of Jingzhou."
