Shuhan

Late at night, Xunyang City was silent, with only the footsteps of soldiers patrolling the city walls echoing. The city is as solid as stone, and the tall walls look particularly solemn under the moonlight.

However, the garrison in the city was in chaos and the morale of the soldiers was low. Some soldiers leaned against the city wall, seemingly reunited with their families in a dream.

Their eyes were full of helplessness and despair.

Master Wang suffered repeated defeats.

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

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

The soldiers taken away were all the elites of the Xunyang garrison.

After two waves of elite divisions were selected, the rest were naturally useless.

Soldiers with white hair and green hair can be seen everywhere.

Many military generals were walking around the city with a clear understanding.

At this critical moment, Xun must boost morale and stabilize military morale.

They knew that only by uniting as one could they withstand the Han army's attack.

However, the chaos in the city made them feel uneasy.

Especially now, the man with the highest rank in the army of Wu is still enjoying himself with a beautiful woman in his luxurious mansion!

"Come on~"

"Kill~"

At this time, in the darkness outside the city, the Han army's attack seemed to become more and more fierce.

The cry of killing seemed to be transmitted to Xunyang City through the cold wind of the early spring night.

At this time, someone exclaimed.

"A large army appears below the city!"

The originally lazy Xunyang defenders suddenly became nervous.

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

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

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

Everyone in Xunyang City was nervous at first, but soon felt relieved.

I saw this army under the city, flying the flag of the Wu army, and the person leading it was Gu Yong.

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

Has Xu Sheng been defeated?

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

Yes!

The Han army was elite, and its number was several times that of Xu Sheng's troops. Xu Sheng's troops were besieged for several hours. It seemed reasonable for the Han army to attack regardless of losses and be defeated and killed.

But the captain guarding the city gate still did not dare to open the city gate rashly.

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

A quarter of an hour later.

Sun Huan was pulled up.

There was an unhappy look on his face at this moment.

Halfway through the clam opening, I was interrupted several times. As long as I was a man, my mood would not get better.

If he was scared a few more times, his little brother might not be able to stand up anymore.

"Brother Gu, what's going on?"

I saw Sun Huan coming.

Gu Yong immediately said: "Xu Sheng has been defeated by the Han army. The Han army may rush to Xunyang at any time. Please open the city gate quickly, general."

Xu Sheng was broken?

There was no fluctuation in Sun Huan's heart, and two words even appeared in his mind unconsciously:

What a death!

Weren't you arrogant before?

Now it's okay, just lead your own elite to kill them all.

Xu Sheng died outside Xunyang City. It was not because Sun Huan did not support him. He had already supported him. But it was a pity that Xu Sheng did not persist until the support arrived.

No matter how he tried to argue the case, the blame could not be pinned on him.

Sun Huan showed an expression of relief on his face, and immediately said to the captain of the city gate: "Open the city gate, our Wu army has already lost three thousand people, and we cannot lose another four thousand people!"

When the sky fell, there were tall men holding it up. After the city gate captain received the order, he immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.

Zhizhizhiya~

The Xunyang City Gate made a tooth-aching sound, and then the city gate opened and the suspension bridge was lowered.

Gu Yong immediately led his army and slowly entered the city.

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

But before walking down the city wall, they saw a chaotic sound coming from the city.

then.

The sounds of confusion grew louder.

The troops that had entered the city in an orderly manner suddenly began to run wildly.

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

Sun Huan just had this idea, but the sight he saw threw all this idea away.

I saw that the sergeants who rushed into the city were not in a panic, but were shouting, slashing and killing everyone they saw!

Moreover, the accent he spoke in was not Wu accent at all, but the accent of the Barbarian, 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.

顾勇

A traitor?

We have a traitor in our midst!

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

The surprise was like a sudden cold wave, freezing his heart. A desolate light flashed in his eyes, which was a questioning of the world and disappointment in human nature. His lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't say a word.

Brothers whose lives were on the line with each other, would actually betray him?

The pain of betrayal spread in his heart, the pain going deep into his bones. He felt as if he was plunged into endless darkness, surrounded by silence. He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, his knuckles turning pale from the exertion.

But Sun Huan knew in his heart that he could not let this pain take over.

If these Han troops are driven out, Xunyang City can still be defended!

Taking a deep breath, he tried to calm down.

"The Han troops are rushing into the city. Follow my general and drive these Han troops out of the city!"

However, Sun Huan shouted once, but only a few responded.

The Wu army that originally defended the city was not an elite force, but now it was raided and killed by the Han army.

Everyone's morale had collapsed and they all ran towards the west gate.

The army was defeated like a mountain.

This is the scene in Xunyang City now.

"General, retreat quickly! If you don't retreat, you will have no chance."

The guards rushed forward to dissuade him.

"Xunyang City is lost in my hands, how can I face the king?"

As he said that, he pulled out the sword from his waist and actually wanted to kill himself.

"You can't do it as a general. Only when you are useful can you be able to make meritorious deeds and wash away the shame. Besides, it's not that generals are not good at fighting. It's just that the commander-in-chief, Lu Xun, was too aggressive, and the Han army was too cunning."

The personal guard has been with Sun Huan for many years and knows his general's temperament.

He just wants to go down one step.

really.

Upon hearing this, Sun Huan immediately sheathed the sword.

"You are right. A real man is born between heaven and earth. How can he kill himself because of a small setback? This is a sign of a coward. I almost missed a big event! Xunyang City cannot be defended, but the soldiers who fled , but I need someone to gather me and follow me out of the city!"

Xunyang City was lost, and Sun Huan was naturally panicked.

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

She is a very beautiful woman, but it is a pity that the current situation is chaotic and she cannot be taken away.

I want to take advantage of Liu Gongsi again.

Sun Huan fled down the city. Gu Yong didn't know whether he was feeling guilty or had some other ulterior secret, but he didn't send troops to pursue him. He just watched Sun Huan flee from the north gate.

For Sun Huan, it is not his task to kill or injure many Wu troops now.

His mission is to completely control Xunyang.

In Xunyang City, there are family members of the Wu Army sergeants on the front line here, and a lot of Wu Army grain and grass are piled up here.

Obtaining this place can solve many problems of the Han army's food and grass problems.

But

It's not easy to swallow them all.

For example, right now, in the west direction of the city, there are already flames reaching into the sky.

That was the location of the city's granary.

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

But it is not easy for Wu Jun who escaped from the city to escape.

After all, outside the city, Ah Huinan and Wenpin, leading the elites of various ministries, were waiting to eat these defeated Wu troops!

Gu Yong had heard of the reputations of A Hui Nan and Wen Pin, and he had seen their soldiers when they were ambushing in Wangjia Valley.

I am afraid that most of the Wu troops who escaped from the city will become prisoners of the Han army or be killed by the sword.

Zhang Bao has a huge appetite. It can be described as both wanting and wanting.

We must not only capture Xunyang City, but also kill as many Wu troops as possible.

His next time was to clear the city.

He captured Xunyang and killed tens of thousands of Wu troops. With his achievements, it seemed possible that he could also be granted a title?

Thinking of this, Gu Yong's heart suddenly became hot.

"Fire? How come there is a fire soaring into the sky in the direction of Xunyang City?"

Late at night, ten miles away and in a 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 out had arrived.

"The whole army changes formation and breaks out!"

The soldiers in the formation no longer wanted to stay here and wait to die. After receiving the order, they quickly transformed into a sharp arrow formation.

Which way to break out?

Seeking Yang?

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 before, and almost lost all three thousand of his men.

Now he must be more cautious.

Xunyang City?

Come to the rescue again after I'm out of danger!

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

"Breakthrough towards the north?"

Zhang Bao had a look of pity on his face.

Unfortunately, in order to ensure the capture of Xunyang, he had already mobilized three thousand soldiers to follow Gu Yong into the town of Xunyang to suppress the remaining soldiers. As a result, among the four defense lines surrounding Xu Sheng, only those on the defense line facing Xunyang were Sufficient, the other three sides are basically undefended.

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

"Let him go!"

To capture Xu Sheng's elite, a large army must be mobilized.

But

Now that Xunyang has been captured, whether Xu Sheng can be captured or not is irrelevant.

at the same time.

In Yuping Mountain.

Wu Jun broke out in all directions.

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

however.

Lu Xun, who broke through the defense line, couldn't be happy.

"Something's wrong!"

Something's wrong?

What's wrong?

Immediately, an official from the Metropolitan Governor's Palace came forward to inquire.

"Grand Governor, we have escaped from death now, why is something wrong?"

"Before, the Han army was so large that four thousand of us couldn't break through the Han army's defense line. How come there are now a thousand people and we can break through the Han army's defense line?"

This is so abnormal.

"Our army is divided into four divisions, and the Han army also wants to block it from all sides. It is normal for the encirclement to be encircled not in time and to have loopholes."

Breakout and encirclement.

It's all a technical job.

It is normal to let the enemy go by accident.

"I hope so!"

No matter what, if he escapes from Yuping Mountain, his thousand people will not become a burden to the Yuping Mountain village. When they arrive in Xunyang, they can prepare their troops and armor, sum up their experience and lessons, and there is still a chance to defend Xunyang.

However.

When Lu Xun got closer and closer to Xunyang, he was startled by the fire in Xunyang's direction.

"Why is there fire in the direction of Xunyang City late at night?"

Lu Xun already had a bad premonition in his heart.

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

He also learned about Xunyang's situation.

"Xunyang City was destroyed?"

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

"This is impossible! Xunyang City is strong and there are nearly 20,000 defenders in the city. It cannot be defeated so quickly."

How many days has it been?

Even visiting a small town would take more than this time.

After Xunyang was reinforced and repaired by him, it could already be called a fortified city.

The fortified city was captured in less than three days?

Are the city defenders pigs?

"General Sun was deceived into the city by the Han army, so Xunyang was not safe."

puff~

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

"The Governor, the Governor!"

A group of officials from the Governor's Mansion immediately helped Lu Xun up.

"The current plan is to leave the battlefield first!"

The loss of Xunyang must be bad news for Wu State.

But it is equally important for them to survive!

The next morning.

The chaos in Xunyang City has basically been calmed down.

After all, Gu Yong was the general of Xunyang and knew the situation in Xunyang City very well.

As soon as he entered Xunyang City, he had all the key parts under control.

After that, he visited the mansions of powerful local nobles and gained their support. Xunyang City was taken from Wu State and became a city of Han State.

After not sleeping all night, Gu Yong looked a little haggard.

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

Because he was about to meet the legendary Han Crown Prince Liu Gongsi.

How could he not be excited to see such a person?

"Coming, coming! Your Highness is almost here!"

Outside Xunyang City, a black spot gradually appeared in the distance. As time passed, the black spot gradually turned into a black line.

After a while, the Han army's military formation and the royal flag of Han Crown Prince Liu Chan could be clearly seen.

Everyone immediately came forward to greet him. The generals and ministers who had surrendered in Xunyang City, as well as Zhang Bao, Hui Nan and others, knelt on the ground.

"I'll wait to see His Highness the Crown Prince!"

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

"You have made great achievements, so there is no need to be polite. Just get up!"

Although the battle last night was not perfect.

Xu Sheng ran away, and so did Lu Xun.

But there is nothing that can be done about it.

In order to obtain Xunyang City, Liu Chan not only mobilized Wenpin's three thousand mobile troops, but also asked Ah Huinan to lead the elite Wudang Flying Army to support Xunyang.

Originally there were enough troops to control Lu Xun's thousands of men, but due to lack of troops, he allowed 2,000 men to escape and only drove 2,000 men into the Yuping Mountain stronghold.

but.

Being able to capture Xunyang is already the greatest victory.

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

Liu Chan has no intention of attacking the remaining strongholds, such as Yuping Mountain Village and Jigong Mountain Village, which are difficult to crack.

A strong attack will bring losses.

And attacking their hearts and consuming their food and energy can make them surrender without a fight.

After capturing Xunyang, Liu Chan had some time to spend with them.

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

Xunyang City was destroyed, and Liu Chan was very happy.

of course

At this moment, in addition to thinking about the reward, he was also thinking about how to extract benefits from Wu Guo.

After all, Liu Chan's attack on Wu was just a cover.

This time Wu Xunyang's defense line was broken, Sun Quan must not be able to sit still.

If he sends an overwhelming army over, Liu Chan's tens of thousands of troops may not be able to defeat the opponent.

That being the case.

Then he squeezed the interests of Wu and provided blood for Han's Northern Expedition!

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

Land cession and compensation are definitely indispensable.
