The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

But the duty of this little official is to guard the Beacon Tower. At the last moment, he finally fulfilled his duty and fulfilled the last duty in his life.

When the soldiers rushed forward to behead him, the flames of the beacon had already ignited, and a wave of wolf smoke went straight into the sky.

At this moment, the sky is already bright, and the mist has all dissipated under the sun's rays.

Therefore, the wolf smoke was very conspicuous. Although it was extinguished not long after it was ignited, it still alarmed other people.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Jiangling, as the base of Sun Quan's military deployment this time, was naturally very vigilant.The defenders are on alert from morning to night twelve hours a day.

So although the smoke was extinguished by Ling Tong's soldiers not long after it ignited, it still attracted Jiangling's attention.

The vigilant soldiers did not last long for the smoke, but they still dutifully reported to the chief.

At this moment, the highest official in the city is Zhang Zhao, a civil servant, who is in charge of internal affairs and logistics, so he did not follow Sun Quan to the Zhijiang battlefield.

Instead, he was stationed in Jiangling and transported supplies to the front line by the way.

After hearing the movement, he immediately rushed to the top of the city to check.

But when he arrived, the beacon had already been extinguished, and Zhang Zhao shouted displeasedly, "Where did the beacon come from? Could it be that you are waiting to lie about the military situation? This is a capital offense!"

When Xiao Bing heard this, he immediately knelt down on the ground, assuring that he was absolutely right.

And those people who were with him just now also swear by it, just now in the direction of Le Township, there was a blaze of smoke going straight into the sky.

Seeing so many people testify, Zhang Zhao had no choice but to believe this man's words.

However, because the smoke lasted too short, even he couldn't be sure that something happened to Lexiang.

Maybe there was an accidental fire there, and the wolf smoke was ignited by mistake, and then it was extinguished immediately.

Otherwise, he wouldn't believe it. How could a city fall in such a short period of time?

To be on the safe side, Zhang Zhao immediately ordered: "Zhang Ya, you already knew Zhan Qiang. Now Le Township is on fire.

Although I don't know what happened, but just to be on the safe side, I ordered you to check it out.

If there is an enemy army, report it immediately, if it is just a misfire, you should also warn Zhan Qiang carefully.

Now that Liu Ke has a large army, he might not be able to take down Zhijiang for a long time, maybe he will really take risks, so I ordered him to strengthen his guard! "

Hearing the words, Zhang Ya obeyed immediately, and then led three thousand sailors to head towards Le Township.

Jiangling and Le Township are located on the north and south banks of the Yangtze River, less than forty miles apart.

Even going upstream, Zhang Ya arrived outside the city in less than two hours.

But before he got close to the city wall, he felt the difference in the surrounding atmosphere.

Although I didn't see the enemy army, but observing from a distance, the city was dead and lifeless.

Zhang Ya's face gradually became more serious, and he hurriedly ordered: "Send the order, the whole army is on alert, be careful!"

The army continued to move forward, and finally approached the outside of Le Township.

And at this time, Zhang Ya finally found the warship docked by the water.

Seeing this scene, his nerves tensed instantly, because the style of this warship was definitely not his own.

Therefore, Zhang Ya hurriedly mobilized the army, and approached slowly with a vigilant look.

And his appearance immediately alarmed the troops staying on the warship.

A warship immediately passed by, and the leader of the ship stopped when he was an arrow away from the opponent, and shouted.

"Who are you?"

The other party took the lead, and his tone was very unkind, Zhang Ya immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare quietly.

He replied, "We are the Jiangling Navy. We came here to check when we saw the fire in Le Township just now. Who are you?"

So far, Zhang Ya has not recognized the identities of these people.

He even mistakenly thought that these people were probably Liu Bei's sailors upstream.

Otherwise, just in time when a war broke out, why is there no movement inside or outside the city?

However, after he declared his family name, the other party did not hesitate any longer and gave an order directly, and the other warships behind him rushed here together.

Seeing this scene, no matter how stupid Zhang Ya was, she could guess something.

His face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly: "No, it's the enemy army, retreat quickly!"

However, Zhang Ya's reaction was already too late, the warship that had come up just now unceremoniously attacked him.

This time Zhang Ya only came to check the situation, so he only brought out three thousand sailors.

Although Ling Tong had fewer people than Zhang Ya staying behind on the warship outside the city, he didn't know the reality, so he dared to fight easily.

In fact, although Zhang Ya was timid, this point just happened to save her life.

After all, Ling Tong's army had cleaned up all the remaining defenders in the city, and even those who escaped from the south gate were blocked by Sheng Xian who was ambushing here.

So as long as there is a battle, the enemy can immediately come in for reinforcements.

But his reaction was already very fast, but it would take time for the ship to turn around and escape.
