The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

He finally made up his mind and said, "The situation is grim. It seems that the only way is to retreat. Send the order to abandon Le Township and raise troops out of the city!"

It was very difficult for Ling Tong to make this decision, but judging from the performance of the enemy army, as long as he was in Le Township, the opponent would not let it go.

Wave after wave of enemy attacks made Ling Tong unable to hold on any longer.

So, Ling Tong led his men to rush out from the east gate and flee into the distance.

After getting the news, Sheng Xian also hurriedly left, heading in the direction Ling Tong left.

Pan Zhang was very proud to see the enemy army abandoning the city and fleeing.

But at this moment, he only has this city in his eyes, and he can't see the defeated soldiers.

Therefore, under the command of Pan Zhang, the army took over the city as soon as possible and let Ling Tong leave.

After Ling Tong's soldiers left Le Township, they drove eastward for dozens of miles before finally slowing down.

Luo Tong and Sheng Xian surrounded him and asked nervously, "General, where should we go now?"

Now for Ling Tong, the best way to go is naturally to rush to the north bank to join Liu Ke again.

However, now that he has lost Lexiang, he is really ashamed to face it with pride.

So Ling Tong simply gave up the idea of ​​returning to the north, and planned to continue to stay on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

He remembered what Liu Ke had told him before.

As long as he stays on the south bank, it will be like a nail for Liu Ke to wedge into the enemy's defense line.

This nail can turn the opponent's defense upside down, and it may collapse at any time.

So Ling Tong finally made a decision.

He frowned and said firmly: "Continue to move eastward and take Gong'an County straight!"

Sheng Xian was worried, and hurriedly asked: "General, our army has lost a lot of troops, I'm afraid we can't take down the police!"

Unexpectedly, Ling Tong burst out laughing when he heard the words.

"Hahahaha! Sheng Xian, you are too cautious! If Gongan County was in its previous state, it would naturally be impossible to win it.

But the defender Wu Fang brought most of his troops to attack Le Township, so his defense was naturally empty.

In addition, our army has just abandoned the city and left Lexiang, and the other party must think that we are returning from the north, so it is absolutely impossible to prepare there.

At that time, our army will suddenly rush out, maybe we can take this city in an instant! "

After he said this, Luo Tong finally gained confidence.

He hurriedly echoed: "What the general said is very true. Instead of going back, it is better to stay on the south bank and wait for the opportunity. When the time comes, the enemy army will run around, and it will even be more effective than us taking Le Township!"

Seeing that Luo Tongtong clicked through, Ling Tong nodded in satisfaction, and looked at Sheng Xian again.

Sheng Xian thought for a moment and finally said: "General, you can do whatever you say, and your subordinates will do their best to assist you!"

Now that the opinions have been unified, everything is easy to talk about.

Ling Tong immediately led the rest of the soldiers and headed straight for Gong'an County.

This city is located in the lower reaches of Le Township, hundreds of miles away from Le Township by water and land, and even farther away from the main battlefield of Zhijiang-Jiangling.

The most important thing is that the defense in the city is now even more empty, and it will definitely not be able to stop Ling Tong's attack.

When Ling Tong's soldiers and horses finally arrived outside Gong'an County, they found that the city was not as tense as imagined.

The city gate was still open, and there were still people coming and going from inside, which seemed lively.

It turned out that this place is not just a small county town, but also a transit station for supplies and food from eastern Jingzhou to Jiangling.

There are military ships coming and going everywhere along the way, so even if there are few defenders, they still dare to open the city gate.

Seeing this, Ling Tong immediately ordered his subordinates not to act rashly, and wait for him to check the situation before making a decision.

Afterwards, Ling Tong repeated his old trick, and led his subordinates in disguise again to grope into the city.

This time, Ling Tong did not receive any difficulty, but the confidence he gained was very precious.

As a transfer station, this city is very important. The most important thing is that there are only [-] defenders who really belong to this city.

Although there were still many soldiers coming in and out of the city, almost all of them were passing by, so naturally they didn't care too much.

Therefore, Ling Tong thought for a moment, and immediately had an idea.

He decided to also pretend to be a passing army and follow the others as they approached the city.

Then, when the defenders were not paying attention, they instantly seized control of the city from the opponent.

It can be expected that as long as this city is captured, the connection between Jiangling and the three counties to the east of Jingzhou can be cut off immediately.

At that time, it only needs to be quarantined for a few days, which will definitely change the morale of the defenders in Jiangling.

I can help Liu Ke capture Jiangling in one fell swoop and eliminate Sun Quan's rebels.

After all the discussions were over, Ling Tong, Sheng Xian, and Luo Tong respectively led some people to the city.

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

The three soldiers divided into three groups to minimize the attractiveness, and approached the Public Security City from several directions.
