"Kill!"

When the Jingzhou soldiers were dressed in the armor of the Wu soldiers, holding torches high, escorting the prisoners of war patrolling the banks of the Yuanshui to the city of Baqiu, the faint light of the fire also shone around, making the defenders of the city watch.

When he saw the familiar faces of his comrades, Baqiu City was easily cheated.

Seeing this, Huo Yi, who was in the dark night, quickly waved his sword and shouted.

In the next second, I saw that the elite soldiers of all departments in Jingzhou did not hesitate any longer, and rushed into the city with their sharp blades in their hands.

The garrison of Baqiu City was already sent south by Huang Gai to assist the Pingyiyang rebellion, and now there are more than 200 defenders in the city.

With the Jingzhou army suddenly entering, there was no way to resist.

The patrol soldiers in the city were quickly subdued and controlled, and most of the many sleeping Wu soldiers in the city were unknowingly wiped off their necks while they were still asleep.

Until dawn the next day, the sky was bright.

The head of Baqiu City is already fluttering with the word "Huo" flag.

The Wu soldiers in the city were either killed or imprisoned.

At this time, Huo Yi stood at the head of the city with his head held high, his eyes firmly fixed on the river water floating with snow and rice floating in the river, and his expression gradually became serious.

After the general of the Huo family army hurriedly came forward to announce the news that he had completely controlled the situation in the city, he gave the following orders:

"You ordered a boat to cruise on the river, responsible for intercepting the downstream and communicating with the public security Wu Jun and the spies."

"Then send my Huo clan tribe to set off south immediately, and use the token of Baqiu City to pretend to be Wu Jun to deceive Cairo County."

The military order was spit out loudly, and the general's expression when he heard the news was quite serious and he quickly received the order, "Huh." ”

After arranging the battle plan, Huo Yi personally commanded the remaining soldiers and horses to start building defenses along the city wall and preparing sufficient materials to defend the city.

All of a sudden, the city was busy again.

He also knew very well in his heart that following Lu Meng's white-clothed crossing-the river and attacking Baqiu was just the beginning, and when Jiangdong reacted, he would do his best to fight for this strategic place connecting the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Baqiu was lost, and not long after, Luo County in the south was also deceived by the Huo Jiajun with Baqiu's guard token.

In an instant, the situation changed dramatically!

As soon as Luoxian and Baqiu were lost, the Wu army in the Jiangnan counties would completely lose contact with the public security city, and even the Lukou battalion downstream would be blocked by Jingzhou warships cruising on the river.

This military information was first transmitted back to the hands of Huang Gai, the chief general who was in Linxiang, the capital of Changsha County, to supervise the battle and pacify the barbarian attack, and his expression changed greatly in a moment, and his face was at a loss.

"What?"

"Baqiu is lost, and Luo County is also lost?"

At this moment, his eyes were tightly on the picture hanging between the screens in front of him, and his expression was already frozen, and his mind was spinning rapidly.

"There is no room for loss in these two places! Otherwise, the land south of the Yangtze River will be completely cut off from Wuhou. ”

After a little silence, Huang Gai secretly made the decision to abandon the barbarian rebellion and gather his troops to return to the division to recapture the second city.

As this news spread through the army, it naturally affected the overall morale of the Wu army under his command, and he was faintly flustered.

But Huang Gai is also a veteran of the three dynasties of the Sun family, and his prestige in the army is still unquestionable.

He suppressed the morale of the army, abandoned all parts of Changsha, and only left part of the troops to defend the capital Linxiang, so he led most of the troops to the north along the Xiangshui River without losing it.

Huang Gai and his troops quickly arrived outside Luo County, and then arranged for a force to be stationed outside the Jingzhou soldiers trapped in the city, and then continued straight to Baqiu City on the east side of Dongting Lake in the north.

In his opinion, Baqiu City is located at the confluence of the Yangtze River and Xiangshui, and if he can't take it, he can't report the changes in the south of the Yangtze River to the main force of the public security confrontation as soon as possible.

And the military information of the Wu army going north by boat also quickly spread to Baqiu.

At this time, Huo Yi picked up the letter and inspected it, with a very calm expression on his face, and looked at the river from afar and said, "It's not as expected by the general~"

"Huang Gai, the old horseman, has a higher priority for Baqiu than Luo County."

"Fortunately, Ben has prepared enough defensive measures in advance."

Secretly groaning, he scanned the city defense materials that had already been prepared around the city wall, and his face was very calm.

The so-called soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth.

Huo Yi had already made all preparations and waited for the enemy army to attack.

After Huang Gai and his troops stationed in Dongting Lake along the Xiangshui River, they began to order all departments to build water villages along the coast and transport the Linxiang siege equipment transported by warships one after another.

Next, I saw that all the troops of the Wu army had landed on the shore beach and entered the city.

At this time, on the city of Baqiu, the crossbowmen on the battlements had solemn faces, holding bows and crossbows.

Huo Yi also hung his sword at his waist at this moment, and stared at the Wu people outside the city with a serious expression.

Overall, the terrain of Bachu City is still conducive to defense.

The west side is Dongting Lake as a natural defense line, the north side is the Yangtze River water system, and the east side has a deep mountain as a barrier, and the gate stands on the shore beach, and there are only two city gates in the south and north.

Yinan guards the throat of the land south of the Yangtze River.

One north will block the invading enemy from the north on the shore, unable to advance an inch!

Baqiu City is different from the traditional four gates, but it is very similar to the two gates built by the mountains and rivers.

According to Baqiu, they will first take advantage of the location.

Insight into the surrounding terrain, which also made Huo Yi now full of smiles on his face, without the slightest hint of urgency.

After the subordinates lined up the military formation, and the well railing, siege vehicle and ladder truck were unloaded from the huge building ship, Huang Gai, the main general in the formation, had a serious face and quickly gave an order.

"Order all the soldiers to launch an attack, and be sure to recapture Baqiu City as soon as possible."

As soon as the order was given, all the soldiers in the Wu people's array moved one after another, and the sword and shield men covered the crossbowmen and siege equipment and slowly advanced.

It's just that Huo Yi prepared in advance, and at present, the garrison in the city is sufficient, and the garrison materials such as arrows, fierce fire oil, and boiling water are all available.

The brutal offensive and defensive battles lasted for most of the day, and the Wu soldiers found almost nothing except for the loss of soldiers and horses.

The defense of Baqiu City can be described as stable as Mount Tai.

After a day's offensive, Huang Gai's face was undoubtedly wrinkled more and more stubbornly, and his face, which was already full of vicissitudes, seemed to be a few points older at this time.

Baqiu is hard to get down!

As soon as Huang Gai returned to the camp, this thought sprung up in his heart.

But he didn't have the slightest solution for a while.

Only by breaking through Baqiu can the main force in the direction of Gong'an City be contacted to help.

Otherwise, you will not be able to enter the Yangtze River system.

But as long as the Jingzhou soldiers are resolute and swear not to surrender, then only a strong attack is left.

Isn't this a dead end?

After a long groan, Huang Gai's face showed helplessness, so he had to temporarily order all departments to guard the gate of the village and think of a good plan for the time being.

As Wu Bing did not move for a short time, Huo Yi, who was idle, was active, and his eyes kept wandering on the map.

"You quickly went to inform Fan Ling, and asked him to call on all the departments of Wuxi to control the water systems of Xiangshui and other major tributaries, and cut off the waterway from the capital Linxiang to Baqiu."

Huo Yi groaned for a while, smashed his fist on the desk, and said sharply, "This is going to make Huang Gai's army completely fall into the dilemma of running out of food." ”

Due to the division of troops to stay in Linxiang and the dispatch of troops to trap Luo County, the strength of the Wu army outside the city at this time was only about 3,000 people.

The scope of Dongting Lake is too vast, and it is difficult for more than 3,000 people to fully control the initiative.

The scouts in the city were able to avoid the patrols of the Wu people and enter the hinterland of Changsha when they left the city.

With Huo Yi's instructions passed on.

The next battle will once again change dramatically.

After hearing the military order, Fan Ling, who was engaged in Wuling, immediately consulted with Shamoke, the leader of the Wuxi barbarians, and established a strategy of cutting off the enemy's grain routes according to the tributaries of Xiangshui.

The barbarians of each department are already powerful, and the military strength of the Wu soldiers in Changsha is very scattered.

Faced with the situation that the coast was controlled by the Wuling barbarians, the Wu army was also quite powerless for a while.

Linxiangcheng, the capital, raised military rations and other materials along the waterway to send them to the front line in Baqiu.

It's just that every halfway way, it is intercepted by barbarians.

Even turned over several times, but it couldn't be sent to the Wu Jun Water Village in Dongting Lake.

After a few days of stalemate, Huang Gai's subordinates had only brought dry food for a few short days when they had rushed north, but now with the delay in the delivery of supplies, the army was already facing a shortage of food.

Every day passed, the soldiers of the Wu army were accompanied by hunger.

Then, the morale of the military also continued to be sluggish.

The fighting spirit and morale are also gradually declining to the bottom.

In this situation, Huang Gai's face sank at this time, facing the impregnable Baqiu City that could not be attacked for a long time, he scratched his head unconsciously in the military tent, and his face was full of tension.

He's a little helpless!

Huo Yi arranged scouts in advance to scatter outside the city to spy on the truth, and heard that the cut off of the Wu army's grain route had caused a shortage of food in the army, and the soldiers were faintly falling apart.

He was overjoyed at once, slapped the desk, and felt the arrival of the fighter plane that attacked and annihilated the Wu army.

As soon as this thought fell, Huo Yi's gaze became quite determined.

As early as when Huang Gai and his troops came to attack, he was already secretly planning to order his troops to prepare and wait for the opportunity to attack.

At present, the morale of the enemy army is lost!

If you don't attack at this time, when will you wait?

Huo Yi quickly gathered all the departments in the city, opened the south gate and swarmed up, attacking the Wu army water village by Dongting Lake.

In the face of high morale and full of fighting spirit, many fighting ships in Baqiu City were captured earlier, and the warships such as Mong Mo came directly, and the Wu soldiers fell into decline first.

Arrows come and go, shooting at each other's boats.

However, the soldiers of all departments in Jingzhou were not afraid of death, like the god of war, they were like gods of war and approached the enemy's water village.

The scene once had the upper hand.

Even if the veteran Huang Gai came to the front line, he could only barely stabilize the situation.

"Soldiers, don't panic."

"The enemy's strength is not sufficient, as long as our army holds the water village until Wu Hou hears about the changes in the land south of the Yangtze River and sends reinforcements over, it will be a victory."

"Soldiers, follow the generals to defend against the enemy!"

After a few words, he roared loudly.

I have to mention that Huang Gai's prestige in the army is still quite trustworthy, and in just a few words, the military spirit of the whole army that was faintly about to collapse was stabilized.

But it was clear that the situation did not change according to his wishes.

"Kill~"

"Expelle Wu Dog and help General Huo."

At this moment, there were fighting voices one after another behind Wu Jun's water village.

As far as the eye can see, there are dense boats on the Xiangshui River, and everyone on the boat is wearing colorful clothes, which can be described as varied.

"Old General Qiqi, there are a large number of barbarians gathered behind my water village to kill."

"The soldiers can't resist anymore, how should they deal with it this time?"

As soon as the words fell, Huang Gai, who was fighting bloodily, was also covered in blood at this time, and his physical strength, which was almost seventy years old, had long since disappeared, and he looked up at the back panting at this time, his expression changed slightly.

Isn't that the Wuxi barbarians attacking, who is it?

Under the attack from both sides, Huang Gai's fighting spirit that he had managed to gather once again disappeared.

The generals of the Wu army no longer had the spirit to fight, and fled one after another, not at all bound by Huang Gai's military orders.

Those who fled and those who descended.

Soon, there were only more than 100 people left in the water village, and cronies still followed Huang Gai to continue the fierce battle.

As the hearts of the enemy army collapsed, the Jingzhou army easily captured the water village.

Huo Yi also ran along the rear on a fighting ship at this time, with a serious look on his face, and said condescendingly:

"Huang Gai, you are now unable to escape, if you don't put down your weapons and surrender quickly, when will you wait?"

"Ben will read that you are nearly seventy years old, and if you fall, you will be allowed to spend your old age in peace."

"Otherwise, there is only death!"

As soon as the words fell, a chill suddenly appeared on his face.

But who expected Huang Gai to hear this, and snorted coldly with disdain, "Hmph~ This will be the third generation of the Sun family, how can he be the thief who betrays the master?" ”

"Today, there is only Huang Gai who died in battle, and there is no Huang Gai who surrendered on his knees!"

As soon as the words fell, Huo Yi looked at Huang Gai's expression and showed a will to die, and he also knew that he would definitely not be obedient, so he waved his hand decisively and ordered.
