Chapter 635 Meng De suffers a loss
"What about you? How to choose?" The owner of the Yu family looked at the other three families and their faces were not as good-looking as before.
"I, I don't agree with this practice and am willing to quit, but don't worry, I will never tell the secret."
"Hmm." The owner of the Yu family snorted discontentedly.
The three owners who disagreed were naturally imprisoned. Until the matter was settled, no one could walk out of this room. Even if the owner of the Yu agreed, the others would definitely not agree. The rebellion was not a child's family. After being learned by Liu Bei and Liu Pan, the first thing was to lead the soldiers to come. Clean up.
"Cao Jun will respond outside the city at that time. We are like this..." The owner of the Yu family slowly said the plan he had already thought of. Seeing that there was no omission, the other owners in the field nodded and agreed one after another.
Late at night, Jiangling City was particularly quiet. The first thing after Liu Pan entered the city was to impose a curfew. After dark, everyone had to return home immediately. Anyone who walked on the street should be killed.
During the battle period, it is normal to use this means. The people in the city did not have resistance at the beginning, but after a long time, not only the merchants are not happy, but also the people do not agree. Many people in the city rely on their own skills or do odd jobs for merchants to earn their families. In this way, the city is closed, the people's family There has been no surplus food in China for a long time, and businessmen have also lost a lot of consumers. Naturally, the resistance is very strong, but these are all in the dark. When it is not the time to survive, the people's choices have always been submissive.
It is useless to rely on the resistance of the mouth alone. The soldiers and guns in the city are shaking. Whoever dares to say no objection can only talk about it behind his back and have a good time.
The night was like ink. Three hundred people in black walked out of the house of the owner of the Yu family. Under the cover of the night, they slowly walked towards the gate.
I have to say that the Yu family master's means, from the Yu family to the patrol soldiers in the gate section, he has long been very familiar with the patrol soldiers. He usually does not play a lot, and there are many people who secretly turn to the Yu family, so that 300 people did not arouse the vigilance of the soldiers when they approached the gate.
It's not only 300 people in black who sneak up the city gate. In order to be foolproof, the owner of the Yu family asked several other family owners to send dead men from the family to constantly create chaos in the city and provide opportunities for the most elite people in black.
Such a strategy can be said to be seamless, but there is something wrong with the generals guarding the city. The guard of the East Gate will be a general in Liu Bei's army. He is conscientious. When he sees the people coming through the night from afar, he is already alert and immediately ordered the soldiers to report to Liu Bei.
The man in black is a dead man of a family. He is usually not afraid of death through training. After arriving at the gate, he did not say too much and fought directly. On the one hand, he was a well-trained soldier, and on the other hand, he was a tough soldier who was not afraid of death. The battlefield warmed up rapidly.
While the man in black attacked the gate, there was chaos everywhere in the city. The private soldiers of the family were not afraid when they met the soldiers patrolling in the city. Generally, the soldiers on patrol were three or five people and up to ten people. When they met a team of more than a hundred people, only a few people dared to draw knives directly. Most people still hurried to report. The news here.
"Sir, there has been chaos in the east, west, south and north of the city, and there are continuous sneak attacks on patrol soldiers." Liu Bei frowned and said anxiously. All his family was in Jiangling. Naturally, he didn't want any mistakes in Jiangling.
After Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, he was shocked and said, "Master, it's not good. I'm afraid that the family in the city colluded with Cao Jun. If you want to open the gate, send soldiers to all over the gate quickly." Things are critical, and Zhuge Liang has also lost his previous elegant appearance.
"The order is to ask General Zhang to return the general to the big account as soon as possible." Liu Bei ordered.
The defenders of Dongchengmen' resistance were very tenacious. These soldiers followed Liu Bei for many years and fought around. They had never seen what kind of scene. Although there were only fifty or sixty soldiers in their hands, the gatekeeper general still had enough confidence to repel these men in black. After a short fight, the goalkeeper's combat effectiveness against the man in black. Some people don't think so. With such people, they still want to sneak up on the city gate, but they are just a dead man with a cavity of blood.
Five or sixty soldiers have become an insurmountable gap in the eyes of the people in black. No matter how the owner of the Yu family behind them roars, they can't break through.
There are fewer and fewer defenders. No matter how the people in black do not know how to cooperate, they have an advantage that the defenders do not have, that is, they are not afraid of death. Before coming, their owners have repeatedly told them, so no matter how critical the war situation is, no one has retreated.
After losing more than 100 people, there were only more than 20 defenders. It only took a lot of time to seize control of the city gate. The Lord Yu looked happy and kept commanding the man in black to move forward.
"Kill!"
"Kill all these traitors."
The owner of the Yu family was shocked, "Zhang Fei?" This sign-like roar is not unfamiliar to the people in the city. Such a loud voice, even if Zhang Fei is in the east of the city, people in the west of the city can hear it.
Under the leadership of Zhang Fei, more than 100 cavalrymen killed the man in black, but after a moment, they killed the team of the man in black.
The fire in the city was extinguished by the defenders, and the boiling Jiangling gradually quieted down.
Cao Jun, who had been lurking outside the city, saw that the noise in the city was getting smaller and smaller. Cao Cao's face was very ugly. Jiangling was a big deal. He didn't sleep late at night, waiting for the good news to come from him, so as to seize Jiangling in one fell swoop.
"Lord, is it that the master of the Yu family didn't do things closely enough and was discovered by the defenders in the city?" The drama came forward.
Cao Cao shook his head and said, "It's impossible. Judging from the strategy from the owner of the Yu family, there is no omission, and the Yu family is quite powerful in the city. It has a great chance of winning in conjunction with other families. Let's wait and see."
"Lord, the gate is open, and the gate is open." Xun Yu stayed outside the tent. After getting the latest news from the soldiers in front of him, he hurried into the big tent and danced. There was no demeanor that Wang Zuozhi should have.
"The order, the tiger and leopard horse immediately entered the city, and the three armies were ready to attack Jiangling." Cao Cao ordered that the fighter plane was fleeting and could capture Jiangling at the lowest cost.
The gate opened, and the torches kept waving in the city. It was not until the rumble of horses' hoofs came that the darkness gradually returned to darkness.
Xia Houdun frowned. At this time, Jiangling City was like a flood beast with an open mouth. He was a little uneasy, and he still led the soldiers to the gate without hesitation.
Five hundred tigers and leopards just broke into the gate, and there was a dense rain of arrows coming. Unprepared, the cavalry lost dozens of people.
Every soldier on the tiger and leopard is selected as strictly as the Xiliang Army, and the intensity of training is also very high. In order to capture Jiangling, Cao Cao directly sent the most elite team among the generals.
"I've been tricked." After a long time on the battlefield, Xia Hou Dun immediately realized that something was wrong and shouted, "The whole army retreated."
It's just that compared with the 500 tigers and leopards, it is a little difficult to turn around. In the chaos, the cavalry are crowded and trampled on each other, and the fallen people don't know how much.
He desperately went out of the city. There were only more than 100 tigers and leopards around Xia Houdun, and more than 300 elite cavalry were buried in Jiangling City. Xia Hou Dun gritted his teeth and couldn't wait to immediately wave his army to attack the city.
"Lord, our army was tricked. Jingzhou soldiers were ambushed at the gate, and more than 300 people were lost on the leopard horse." Xia Houdun said dejectedly.
Liu Bei appeared at the gate and looked at Cao Jun, who was waiting outside the city, and laughed, "Cao Cao, it's not that simple to sneak up at the gate."
After saying that something was thrown down from the city.
"Your Excellency, this is the head of the owner of the Yu family." A general responsible for dealing with the Lord of the Yu family came forward.
Cao Cao's face is constantly changing. He can't care about the loss of the owner of the Yu family and the Chengzhong family, but more than 300 tigers and leopards are the painstaking efforts of Cao's army. After so many years of forming cavalry, Cao's tigers and leopards have only been riding 2,000 people, which is the killer of Cao's army. He has been reluctant to use them. Unexpectedly, he died cowardly. Under such a scheme.
"Liu Bei, in the future, you will take your life and pay tribute to the dead soldiers." Cao Cao pointed to Liu Bei and shouted with a horse whip in his hand.
Cao Jun retreated in dismay, and Liu Bei was in a good mood.
"Mr.'s strategy is really wonderful, which made Cao's army lose more than 300 cavalry." Liu Bei turned around and said.
Zhuge Liang also woke up from the initial panic and said lightly, "After this battle, the morale of the defenders has been greatly boosted. If Cao Cao wants to capture Jiangling, it will be more difficult. Maybe he will retreat because of this, and the danger of Jiangling can be relieved."
Liu Bei nodded slightly. From Zhuge Liang's out of the mountain to now, the plans for Liu Bei's army are very good. Take Cao Jun as an example, he has suffered a lot of losses on Zhuge Liang.
The equipment of more than 300 tiger and leopard riders all fell into Liu Bei's hands. These weapons were basically purchased by Cao Cao from the Xiliang Army at a high price, and now Liu Bei is cheap for nothing.
After Cao Cao returned to the army, his face had not been relaxed. The tiger and leopard horse was the most elite soldier in the army. Unexpectedly, Jiangling City was not captured, but also the soldiers and generals were damaged. He could not care about the soldiers lost before, but the casualties of the tiger and leopard riding were the most heartbreaking.
At this time, Cao Cao also came up with the idea of retreating from the army. The grain and fodder in Jiangling City were enough for three months. In the past three months, Cao's army needed to consume countless food and fodder. Even if there was not much delay on the road, a truck of grain and fodder were transported over, and the food and fodder soldiers to eat and drink were all money, and from Yanzhou to Xuzhou. The road is not easy to walk, and it needs to be escorted by a large number of people.
"Lord, if our army retreats, we should leave heavy troops to defend Nanyang County in order to attack Jingzhou again in the future."
After Cao Cao had this idea, the counselor took it as a plan.
