Chapter 693 (1/2)

Liu Ye immediately wrote a letter about how Xu Huang defeated Cao Hong and forced Yan Liang back into an urgent military newspaper of 300 Li and sent it to Luoyang.

”Good!”

Liu Ye laughs and looks excited.

”No wonder the general wanted to keep general Gongming to guard Jizhou, but Jia understood it today.”

Guo Jia exclaimed: ”general Gongming's military ability is really extraordinary. When Cao Hong was flooded and Yan Liang was forced back, Zhou Yafu had the style.”

Zhou Yafu was a famous general in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty. During the reign of emperor Jingdi, Zhou Yafu did not move when the seven states of Wu and Chu were in turmoil. However, he secretly cut off the food supply for the soldiers and horses of the seven countries. Hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed without fighting.

But Xu Huang drowned Cao Hong and broke the enemy's momentum of joint attack. Naturally, Yan Liang was defeated without fighting.

”Promoted Gongming to Anbei general, and granted Tongli tinghou, 200 households.”

Liu Ye speculated: ”in addition, Gongming blocked the river and built a dike. People on both sides of the Zhangjiahe River were only afraid of serious disaster. Gao Chong was ordered to transport 5000 stones of grain and grass from Luoyang granary to Jizhou to relieve the people.”

Lujiang city.

The wind is cold and the sky is clear. More than 20000 troops of the east of the river are standing outside the city of Shuxian. The flaming armour seems to be a burning flame, which is quite dazzling in the wilderness.

Outside the Ximen gate, Jiang Dongjun dug earth and set up a tall and wide earth platform. Zhou Yu stood on it, dressed in purple robes and pressed his sword handle. His white jade face was full of solemnity. The strong wind was blowing the hat tassel on his helmet, and the whole person was like an immortal who was about to float up.

Langlang!

The sword came out of its scabbard. Zhou Yu pointed to the city of Lujiang not far away. He ordered: ”attack the city!”

”Attack the city!”

All the four walls were blocked up by the Jiangdong army. Outside each wall, there were 3000 Jiangdong troops in formation, standing motionless outside the city. After hearing the order of attack, heavy drums and trumpets sounded, but there was no expression of excitement.

Most of these Jiangdong troops were sharp soldiers who had followed sun CE in the battle of Yangzhou. Facing a small county, they naturally did not pay attention to them.

”Kill!”

The archers of Jiangdong army outside the city took the lead. Their bodies were straight and their bows were aimed at the city head. At one time, thousands of arrows fell like rain and fell on the top of the city.

”Ah

”Jiang Dongjun's bows and arrows are so powerful that they should retreat behind the women's wall!”

Jiang Dongjun's arrows fell like rain, covering almost every part of the city. The guards above the city were afraid of their hands and feet. After being shot dead and wounded dozens of people, they were scared to hide behind the women's wall for fear that the arrows would hit them.

”Damn it!”
