Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 132 Arriving at Jiangxia
Jiangxia City.
When the sun just showed its face, it was also the time when the defenders of the city changed their shifts.

There are also many people from the villages near Jiangxia City surrounding the city wall, waiting for the city gate to open, and preparing to enter the city. After all, these people need to live, so sometimes they need to come to the city to sell some things, or buy some things to go back.

However, when the two generals on the city wall were preparing to hand over the affairs of the city guard, and the gatekeepers in the passageway of the city gate below the city wall opened the city gate.

In the distance outside the city, there is a group of soldiers and horses coming towards the rising sun.

The flags were fluttering, one row after another, like a long snake, walking in neat steps, holding the spear high, slowly coming towards the city.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Hurry up and report to the general, and close the city gate!" a partial general shouted.

Hearing this, the defenders on the city wall also reacted. In the early morning, without any warning, an army suddenly appeared and approached the city. How could they not be surprised? What's more, this army was obviously coming towards the city. , The direction of the march is the direction of Jingzhou City, and they are not in the same camp.

In addition, Jiangxia City originally belonged, and the army coming from the direction of Jingzhou City had only one purpose - to attack the city, it was an enemy, not a friend!

The city wall also became a little flustered, and the defenders who were about to hand over also quickly stood back to the city wall, holding spears, staring at the outside of the city, and there were still defenders running around, doing their best to defend the city. Prepare.

The two generals left one on top of the city wall, and the other quickly ran down the city wall with two guards, to inform the soldiers guarding the city gate that they could not open the city gate, and to notify the city guard general.

under the city walls.

The people guarding the city gate, waiting for the gate to open to enter the city, also noticed that an army was coming.

The people who waited patiently for the city gate to open also became panicked. After all, if they were still here, they would definitely be affected and caught in the middle, that is, a dead end.

"Run!"

"The enemy army is coming to attack the city, run!"

The people looked terrified, shouted loudly, and fled to both sides in a panic, away from the gate of the city, they didn't even bother to take things, they just wanted to leave here without being affected.

The army that appeared suddenly did not stop because of the panic of the defenders on the city wall and the panic of the people at the gate of the city, and continued to come towards the city. The speed was not fast, but it was not slow either.

slowly.
Under the vigilant eyes of the defenders on the city wall, the army outside the city stopped a mile outside the city gate.

The main flag is a large black flag with a golden character 'Liu' embroidered on it. It is erected high so that the defenders on the city wall can see it very clearly.

The city guard moved his throat up and down, swallowed, and guessed that Liu Qi led the army in person without even thinking about it. Now that the main flag of Jingzhou is "Liu", it must be Liu Qi, and it will never be It's someone else.

There is also some fear in the eyes. After all, there are countless heads standing densely outside the city, several times more than the defenders in their city. Although they have the city wall to rely on, they still have uneasy emotions in their hearts.

The Jingzhou army that suddenly appeared all stopped a mile away from the city, lined up neatly, and faced the defenders of the city wall.

The one at the front is Liu Qi in a white robe, and behind him are Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Kuai Yue.

"My lord, are you attacking the city immediately?" Kuai Yue asked.

"Don't worry, our army is already exhausted after a night of raiding, not to mention that we don't have any sharp weapons for attacking the city. Now we will only lose if we attack the city, and there will be no gains!"

Liu Qi looked at Jiangxia City, which was close in front of him. There were guards with spears standing on the city wall, and many flags were planted on the side of the city wall, waving in the wind.

The people at the gate of the city also all left, away from this place that was about to become a battlefield.

Thinking of this, he continued: "So, let the soldiers rest for a while, recharge their energy, and then attack the city to have the best performance!"

"But in this way, the defenders in the city can also be restored, and if the army in the city suddenly rushes out at this time, something may happen!" Kuai Yue analyzed.

Liu Qi glanced at Kuai Yue, but didn't speak yet.

"Your Majesty Kuai is overthinking. Our army is many times stronger than the defenders in the city. If they dare to come out, they will never come back. It just saves the loss of our army's attack on the city!" Huang Zhong said flatly.

If the defenders of the city were not stupid, they would not directly lead the army out of the city. It would be a different matter if they knew they were coming to attack in advance and had prepared in advance, but they obviously did not know their arrival. No brains, or people who are confident that they can beat them.

"Okay, there is no need to discuss this matter too much!" Liu Qi said, "Han Sheng, Wen Chang!"

"exist!"

"You lead five thousand soldiers each, Han Sheng leads the army to surround the south gate, Wen Chang surrounds the north gate, and attack the city at the same time after two sticks of incense!"

"promise!"

"Leave the east gate to escape to Jiangdong, then the city lord will be unable to resist and will definitely flee to the east gate. As long as Jiangxia city is captured, there is no need to pursue it. Our purpose this time is to capture Jiangxia city, not with When Jiangdong is in full swing!" Liu Qi said lightly.

Huang Zhong and the others also nodded. They also understood Liu Qi's meaning. If the city guard is Sun Ce's confidant and dies here, no matter whether they want to or not, they will go to war with Sun Ce in an all-out way.

However, even if Sun Ce is upset by just capturing Jiangxia City and letting the city lord go, he will not overwhelm the territory until he fully controls Jiangdong. What's more, Jiangxia City is originally a territory of Jingzhou, so there will be a period of transition.

"Alien!"

"Subordinates are here!"

"You lead 1000 people to cut wood nearby to build ladders for attacking the city!" Liu Qi ordered.

This time the march was carried lightly, so it can be said that they did not bring anything, not to mention the ladders used to attack the city, and the siege weapons that hit the city gate, which could only be built on the spot.

"promise!"

"If that's the case, let's all go down and make arrangements. After three sticks of incense, we will start attacking the city!" Liu Qi waved his hand.

"promise!"

Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Kuai Yue bowed their hands at the same time.

Immediately, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan both led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, broke away from the army, and went to the left and right sides. According to Liu Qi's instructions, they went to surround the north and south gates.

Kuai Yue also left with a thousand soldiers and horses to arrange for the building of the ladder.

Liu Qi watched the three of them lead the army away, and also ordered the rest of the soldiers to rest where they were. Of course, there will still be vigilance. If the defenders in the city rush out, they can react quickly and fight!
