Shuhan

The darkness of the night had not yet completely faded when fire suddenly burst out from the west of Xiling City, and the raging flames illuminated half of the sky red.

The flames were accompanied by earth-shaking shouts of killing, like war drums coming from an ancient battlefield, resounding in the night.

Yu Jin stood on the city wall with a sharp gaze.

Ma Liang on the side frowned, gently waving the feather fan in his hand, and there was anticipation in the eyes of both of them.

They knew that the deafening shouts and cries of killing meant that the Han army's heavenly soldiers had arrived, and that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty had also personally led his troops to provide support.

Without any hesitation, Yu Jin and Ma Liang immediately gave orders to open the city gates on all sides to welcome reinforcements.

The morale of the defenders in the city was greatly boosted. They rushed out of the city gates, joined the Han army, and launched a fierce charge towards the Wu army that was besieging the city.

In the darkness of the night, the flashes of swords and the shadows of sabers were intertwined, and the sounds of iron clashing were endless.

The Han cavalry were like tigers descending from the mountains. The sound of their horses' hooves made the earth tremble. Every charge made the Wu army terrified.

Under the iron hoofs of the Han army, the Wu army was defeated step by step, and their originally solid formation was broken into pieces.

Yu Jin even led the army into battle personally. He wielded the broadsword in his hand, and every chopped blow took the life of an enemy.

Ma Liang was calmly commanding the battle amid the chaos. Although his voice was not loud, it was clearly heard by every soldier through the message passed by the messenger.

The battle lasted all night, and the Wu army was finally defeated under the fierce attack of the Han army.

The soldiers of Wu army fled in all directions, and their discarded weapons and armor were scattered all over the ground.

Those Wu soldiers who failed to escape paid the price with their lives under the iron hoofs of the Han army.

Not until the situation at the front became stable did the dragon boat Liu Chan was riding on dock.

"Your Majesty, we caught a big fish. This person is a member of the Sun family, Sun Huan!"

Sun Huan was defeated. At this moment, he was tied up and knelt helplessly in front of the victor like a conquered beast.

His military uniform was tattered and dishevelled. The once bright and beautiful armor was now covered in dust and blood, and was torn in many places, revealing the shirt underneath.

The decorations on the armor had been lost in the fierce battle, leaving only mottled traces, as if telling the story of the brutality of the battle.

His face was pale, like the land covered by snow in the severe winter, lacking vitality. His originally healthy and rosy complexion disappeared without a trace under the blow of defeat. Fatigue and despair intertwined on his face, making him look much older than his actual age.

Liu Chan also knew Sun Huan's reputation. After getting off the boat, he said, "Cooperate well and I will spare your life. If you insist on doing so, don't blame me for being ruthless. After all, I am the father-in-law and son-in-law of the State of Wu, and you and I are also related. According to our relationship, I should call you my uncle."

Sun Huan lowered his head and said nothing, not even paying any attention to Liu Chan.

Seeing that Sun Huan was like a stone in a toilet, so smelly and hard, Liu Chan didn't waste any more words on him.

He immediately mounted his horse and galloped towards Xiling.

Now, he no longer needs to rely on insiders or any counter-espionage tactics.

The advantage is mine!

A goes up and you win!

Outside Xiling City, Ma Liang immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"We pay our respects to His Majesty. Long live His Majesty!"

Liu Chan waved his hand at them and said, "Now the situation is urgent, so you don't have to accept these empty gifts."

"What's the situation?" Liu Chan asked immediately.

Ma Liang said immediately: "The more than 10,000 Wei troops besieging the city, as well as the civilians and militiamen who are twice as many, have either surrendered or been killed on the spot. Not many have fled. The Jiangxia garrison, as well as General Wei and General Ahuinan, have already led the cavalry and are galloping to Wan County at night to catch Sun Zhongmou off guard!"

Although the battle was a complete victory, most of the Wu army and local militiamen were controlled or killed.

But
There are bound to be some fish that slip through the net. If there is a delay of one or two days, Sun Quan will definitely know the arrival of the Han army and make corresponding arrangements. Liu Chan wants to prevent Sun Quan from even having time to react and become the fish on the chopping board of the Han army to be slaughtered!

“They did the right thing!”

Liu Chan nodded, then his eyes fixed on Ma Liang.

"Ji Chang, the situation here is now in your hands. I will personally lead the army to annihilate the Wu Kingdom!"

"I obey your orders!"

Liu Chan immediately ordered Guan Xing and Huo Yi to lead the navy down the river. They did not seek to defeat the Eastern Wu navy head-on, but to delay it so that it would be unable to support Wan County.

"Time waits for no one, let's go!"

Liu Chan did not waste time. Now that the cavalry had set out first, the infantry would naturally follow behind.

It only took half an hour to reorganize the army, and then the army headed towards Wan County.

The Wu army withdrew its forces and focused on dealing with Wen Pin and Shamoke in Wan County, so there were actually not many troops stationed in Qichun.

Therefore, when Yu Jin, Wei Yan and A Huinan led the cavalry to arrive, the Wei army in the city did not dare to resist at all and fled the city one after another.

The three of them wasted no time. After passing Qichun, they headed towards Xunyang!

now.

Wan County.

The offense and defense on the battlefield turned this place into a complete meat grinder.

The blood-red setting sun made the dilapidated city walls of An County look even more vicissitudes of life.

The Han army's flag fluttered in the wind. Although the edges of the flag were a little damaged, the bright red color was like the soldiers' blood and had never faded.

The arrows on the city walls were as dense as raindrops. Three days of fierce fighting had left this ancient city riddled with holes, but the soldiers' fighting spirit had never diminished.

The Han army's archers pulled the bowstrings nervously, and every few shots could take the life of a Wu army soldier.

However, as time went on, the arrows were consumed faster and faster, and the defenders' offensive gradually weakened.

At the same time, the Wu army under the city launched an offensive as fierce as a tide.

Their war drums shook the earth, and the soldiers, clad in iron armor and holding spears, were like an unstoppable force, attacking the Han army's defense line again and again.

Their eyes were burning with desire for victory, as if they had already seen the moment of razing Wan County and capturing the Han army.

The Wu army's offensive became more fierce.

Wave after wave hit the wall of Wan County, as if it would never stop.

Siege weapons roared below the city walls, and huge battering rams struck the city gates again and again, each impact seeming to shatter the gates.

On the ladders, the soldiers of Wu army climbed hard, their faces filled with desire for victory.

At this point in the battle, the Wu army had already deployed its elite troops.

Elite versus elite.

The war can only be described as bloody.

Wen Pin was standing on the city wall at this moment, looking at the battle situation.

His eyes flickered and his brows were furrowed. He knew very well that Wan County was at a critical juncture of life and death.

But he did not show the slightest sign of retreat or hesitation, because he knew that if he retreated, if he was defeated, he would be doomed. But as long as he persisted and held on until the reinforcements arrived, he would have a way to survive and would be able to make a great contribution!
hiss~
He took a deep breath and gave an order in a loud voice: "All soldiers, listen up. Swear to defend Wan County to the death. Even if the city is broken, you must rely on the alleys to fight against the Wu army. Reinforcements will arrive soon. Think about your families and your future wealth. Fight hard!!"

"Fight!"

"Come on!"

"Kill!"

The soldiers responded in unison, their voices shaking the earth. They brandished their weapons and fought a desperate battle with the Wu army that rushed up.

Every corner of the city, both inside and outside, became a battlefield, with fighting figures and splattered blood everywhere.

Relying on their familiarity with the terrain and their tenacious fighting spirit, the Han soldiers repelled the Wu army time and time again.

However, the Wu army did not give up. They continued to reinforce and launched a more fierce attack on the Han army.

The city of Wanxian was filled with flames and smoke, as if it had become a battlefield. The archers on the city walls shot hard, but the Wu army's offensive became more and more fierce, making them feel unprecedented pressure.

At this critical moment, Shamoke stepped forward again. He led an elite cavalry team and rushed out of the city gate like a whirlwind, attacking the Wu army camp.

Their appearance was like a bolt from the blue, instantly disrupting the Wu army's offensive.

Under Shamoke's fearless charge, the morale of the Han soldiers was high. They fought hard and engaged in a thrilling hand-to-hand combat with the Wu army, and finally temporarily repelled the Wu army.

However, in less than half an hour, the Wu army, which had gathered the defeated soldiers and completed its preparations, attacked the city again!
The area in front of the city was already covered in blood, and the moat in front of the city was also filled with corpses.

Boom boom boom~
Battering rams continued to smash into the city gates.

The city gate, the last line of defense of the city, was finally in danger under the fierce attack of the Wu army.

With a loud bang, the city gate collapsed under the impact. Amidst the flying dust, the soldiers of Wu army poured into the city like a tide.

However, the Han army did not give up.

Relying on the streets and alleys, they launched a final attack on Wu's army.

The narrow streets became their best battlefield. They took advantage of the terrain and engaged in close combat with the Wu army.

Amid the flashing of swords and the shadow of sabers, the soldiers of both sides fought hard, and every confrontation was accompanied by tragic shouts and splattering of blood.

At the corner of the street, a team of Han soldiers took advantage of the terrain and successfully led a small team of Wu troops into a dead end.

Armed with spears, they forced the Wu soldiers into a corner and then launched a fierce attack. In the fierce battle, the Wu army team was gradually defeated, and only a few people were left struggling in despair.

However, this was just one of the countless heroic resistances of the Han army.

In every corner of the city, the Han soldiers were fighting a bloody battle with the Wu army with their flesh and blood.

They either hid in the ruins, using their bows and short weapons to launch sneak attacks on the Wu army; or rushed into the enemy camp and fought a desperate battle with the Wu army; or held on to important strategic positions, using their lives to buy more time for their companions.

but.
As more and more Wu troops poured into the city, the Han army was gradually defeated by the street fighting.

It looks like An County is about to be conquered by Wu’s army!

Outside An County, in the afterglow of the setting sun, Zhuge Jin had a bright smile on his face.

Attacked it.

We are finally going to take it down.

Although the Wu army suffered heavy losses, as long as they could kill these two or three thousand men, the Han army in Jiangxia would be seriously damaged.

If the information obtained by the assassin stationed in Jiangling is true, Jiangling is simply unable to provide support in dealing with the chaos in the four counties of southern Jing. Although it may still be difficult to take all the nine counties of Jingxiang, taking back Jiangxia County is a foregone conclusion.

The national power of our Great Wu is finally prospering.

At this moment, someone came rushing over.

"Father, father!"

When Zhuge Jin saw this man, he thought, isn't this his good son Zhuge Ke?

"You are not with the king, what are you doing here?"

He had paid a great price to get Zhuge Ke to stay by the side of the King of Wu. If he left without permission this time and offended the King of Wu, wouldn't all his plans be in vain?
All in vain?
He spent a lot of money on this, and you, a piece of asshole, make me so angry!

Thinking of this, Zhuge Jin became furious and rolled up his sleeves to slap Zhuge Ke's fat face.

"Father, the Han army has arrived in Xunyang!"

Before the slap landed on Zhuge Ke's face, Zhuge Jin's hand stopped.

"What did you say?"

Zhuge Jin's expression changed drastically.

"How could the Han army appear in Xunyang? There are also the Wu army of Xiling and Qichun ahead!"

How is it possible that within one day, the Wu armies of Xiling and Qichun were defeated and not even a single piece of news could be sent back?

"I don't know, but when I left the city, I saw the Han army heading towards Xunyang, with the flags of Yu, Wei, and A."

Do you even know the flag?

Zhuge Jin was already quite convinced and asked immediately:

"Why did you go out of town?"

Zhuge Ke hesitated for a moment and said, "It is the king who wants his son to go out of the city to look for a beauty."

Sun Quan was in a good mood as he felt he was going to win.

As the saying goes, when one is well fed and clothed, one will think about sex. Sun Quan felt a little lonely when he went on this expedition without any women by his side.

He sent Zhuge Ke out of the city to look for the beauty from Jiangxia. Unexpectedly, not long after Zhuge Ke left the city, he saw the Han army coming like entering the mountains, and he was immediately scared to death.

"Knowing that the Han army was coming, why didn't you return to the king?"

The Han army has arrived, and Xunyang City only has a thousand soldiers defending it. Wouldn’t it be suicide for me to go back?
Besides
He was born obese, and even if a normal person could escape it, he certainly couldn't.

of course
This is what Zhuge Ke thought in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud.

He immediately made a high emotional intelligence speech.

"If I go back, who will tell me? Father, send troops quickly to rescue the king!"

His son is clearly afraid of death, yet he speaks so righteously. He is so shameless.

Zhuge Jin snorted coldly immediately, but now was not the time to worry about this.

just
It will only take a moment to capture Wan County, so we need to divide our forces now.
Zhuge Jin's eyes flickered, but he still said: "Draw out the reserve team and follow me to Xunyang!"

The Han army in An County is certainly important, but the safety of the King of Wu is obviously more important.

If anything happens to the King of Wu, the State of Wu will be finished.

now.

Xunyang.

Sun Quan was in the city lobby, looking very unhappy.

Because Xunyang is an almost absolutely safe place and it is basically impossible for enemies to appear here, there are only more than a thousand defenders in Xunyang City.

In fact, the Wu army was fighting on two fronts and could not spare any extra troops to stay in Xunyang.

But who could have expected it.

Who could have expected it?
The Han army actually appeared outside Xunyang City!

Sun Quan paced back and forth in the hall, asking, "What's going on? What's going on? How did the Han army appear here?"

Xiling and Qichun.

Could Sun Huan allow this Han army to come in right under his nose?

Could it be that.
Sun Quan had thought of something, but he didn't dare to believe it.

Sun Shao hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, there are only a thousand people in Xunyang City. Let's run away before the Han army surrounds the city!"

If you don’t run now, it may be too late!

run?
If he ran away, the Wu army would be defeated.

The Wu army was defeated.
Is the three-generation foundation of the Sun family going to be lost in my own hands? (End of this chapter)
