Chapter 1231 The hidden Yue Fei (Part 1)


    Chapter 1229: Yue Fei who is hidden (Part 1)


    Yue Fei''s offensive against Nanjun this time was very fierce, and the Jingzhou army had not had time to arrange defense, so the Qin army broke four cities in a row in five days.


    If this trend continues, Yue Fei will be able to reach Jiangling again in a few days, and Liu Xiu must arrive in Jiangling in front of Yue Fei. Otherwise, it will be difficult to enter the city.


    Under Liu Xiu''s quick horse whip overnight, he finally returned to Jiangling City before Yue Fei sieges the city. The next day, Yue Fei''s army surrounded Jiangling again.


    "Cen Peng, have the defenders of each city recruited them back to Jiangling?" Liu Xiu asked.


    "Reported to the lord, after receiving the news of Yue Fei''s re-invasion, except for the cities on the front line that could stop Yue Fei from entering, the defenders of the other cities were recalled by the last general at the first time." Cen Peng said in a deep voice.


    "How many defenders are there in Jiangling City now?"


    "In addition to the army that resisted the Qin army on the front line, there are now 20,000 defenders in the city."


    Liu Xiu''s expression darkened when he heard this and said in a random voice: "So, in just a few days, our army lost another five thousand troops."


    Cen Peng opened his mouth but was speechless, and finally turned into a helpless sigh.


    Since Liu Xiu led an army of 10,000 to Jingnan, the army has been fighting more and more, and the highest number of casualties has not reached more than three thousand.


    But when facing Yue Fei, two-thirds of the remaining troops were surrendered, and now 5,000 troops have been wiped out in a few days.


    Even though Liu Xiu was open-minded, he still felt heartbroken when facing such losses. But at this point, he was heartbroken and it was useless.


    "Jiangling is a big city with high walls and thick walls. The city has extremely sufficient food and supplies. As long as our army does not take the initiative to go out of the city to fight, it will not be a problem even if we defend it for a year."


    Speaking of this, Liu Xiu added: "This marquis has sent back another 10,000 troops from Jingnan. By then, Jiangling will have 30,000 defenders, and there will be soldiers from aristocratic families to help defend the city, while Yue Fei''s siege troops are only 50,000, so Jiangling will definitely be unbreakable."


    Under Yue Fei''s attack, the Jingzhou army suffered heavy casualties. Now, whether it is a civil servant or a military general in Jingzhou, when it comes to Yue Fei, he can''t help but feel disgusted and feel awe of Yue Fei from the bottom of his heart.


    The ministers were calm when Liu Xiu said this. Although the fear in his heart still existed, it was no longer as scared as Tan Yue.


    "Next, our army will just be able to defend Jiangling to the death. When the Qin army is exhausted, Yue Fei will only retreat." Liu Xiu said calmly.


    At this moment, the spy suddenly came to report: "Report to the lord, the Qin army is coming to challenge."


    Liu Xiu said directly without thinking, "I ordered the troops to ignore them and not be allowed to fight. Our army just needs to defend Jiangling."


    "But the person who came to challenge it is, yes..."


    Seeing the spy hesitating. Liu Xiu couldn''t help but frown and asked, "Who is it?"


    "It''s Yue Fei."


    "What?"


    As soon as the spy said this, all the civil and military officials of the Jingzhou Army were shocked, and Liu Xiu even widened his eyes and said, "You said that the Qin general who came to challenge was Yue Fei? Yue Fei came to fight the general himself? How is this possible?"


    When Liu Xiu heard Yue Fei rise up to challenge himself, his first reaction was that he didn''t believe it. It was not that Liu Xiu alone believed it. The civil and military officials in Jingzhou basically had this view.


    Who is Yue Fei? He was the prefect of Xiangyang of the Qin army. Although he is not the Grand Governor of Jingbei, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Grand Governor of Jingbei of the Qin army is Yue Fei.


    Could such a commander who commands tens of thousands of troops leave the army aside and instead go to fight the generals himself?


    Everyone will think it is impossible, because for the main general, it is enough to command the army well. Participating in the fight against the generals personally is to lose the foundation, so Liu Xiu and others'' first reaction is to disbelief.


    "I dare not lie about military affairs. If the lord doesn''t believe it, you can go to the city tower to watch it." After hearing this, Liu Xiu immediately took the ministers to the city tower to watch it, but found that the challenger under the city was indeed Yue Fei.


    "Lord, Yue Fei actually came to challenge him in person. Do you think there will be any fraud here?" Cen Peng frowned.


    "Yes, yes..." the generals answered one after another.


    This scene is too weird and it is too far from Yue Fei''s usual style, which also forces the generals in Jingzhou to think about it.


    Liu Xiu frowned even tighter when he saw this, but Yue Fei under the city shouted: "Liu Xiu, I heard that you have good martial arts skills. I wonder if you dare to compete with me twice?"


    "Yue Fei, don''t want to use this to trap our army in battle. I will not be fooled by you." Liu Xiu shouted with a cold face.


    When Yue Fei heard this, he laughed, pointed the spear in his hand at the army behind him, and shouted, "Are you afraid that my challenge is fake, and is the real one to seize the city? Forget it, you can open your eyes and look at it."


    At this point, Yue Fei turned around and shouted, "The entire army retreated five hundred meters."


    As soon as Yue Fei''s military order was issued, tens of thousands of Qin troops retreated one after another, leaving Yue Fei alone to stand in front of the city, shouting: "Can you dare fight now?"


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu couldn''t help but open his mouth. He was indeed afraid that Yue Fei would use it to capture the city, but Yue Fei took the initiative to order the army to retreat. It was obviously impossible to capture the city at this distance.


    "Did Yue Fei really just come and challenge him?" Liu Xiu said in his heart.


    "Lord, the last general asks for a fight and go and kill Yue Fei''s head." Wei Wentong said with his fist.


    "this…"


    Liu Xiu hesitated a little. He always felt that Yue Fei had bad intentions, but as the main general, he came to challenge him personally. This was unreasonable.


    Seeing that Liu Xiu had no reaction for a long time, Yue Fei took the initiative to scold and fight.


    "Liu Xiu, now my Yue Pengju is here to challenge him as the chief general. If no one in your Jingzhou army dares to fight, then you might as well lead the army and go back to Jingnan. The land of Jingbei cannot tolerate you cowards..."


    As soon as this statement was made, the Jingzhou army was excited, and even Wei Yan stood up to ask for a fight.


    Wei Yan was originally a general under Han Xuan''s command, but his brother Wei Wentong was under Liu Xiu''s command. In addition, Liu Xiu won many battles in Jingnan, so Wei Yan was afraid of Han Xuan.


    Liu Xiu had long been coveting Wei Yan. After learning that Han Xuan was afraid of Wei Yan, he not only gained the loyalty of Wei Yan through alienation, but also defeated the coalition forces of the princes in Jingnan. It was a killing two birds with one stone.


    Liu Xiusi thought about it and didn''t think that Yue Fei could capture the city through the fight. He saw that the generals Qin was very eager to fight, so he nodded and said, "Since that''s the case, Wei Yan, you will fight Yue Fei."


    "Thank you for your trust, Wei Yanding killed Yue Fei''s head and presented it to the lord."


    Liu Xiu shook his head when he heard this and said, "Yue Fei''s challenge is intriguing, so you must remember that this time you leave the city, don''t seek merit, but just seek nothing wrong."


    "This...promise."
