Chapter 2009 Jiangling falls
Chapter 2007: Jiangling falls
"Mr. Qin Hui can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, so how can he be alone?"
Liu Ji grabbed Qin Hui''s hand and said enthusiastically.
Liu Ji was very happy about Qin Hui''s surrender. He did not do anything else, just based on Qin Hui''s identity.
You know, Qin Hui is a disciple of the Qin family, but now he has betrayed his family and defected to him. This further means that Qin Hao is unpopular and he is the Lord of Destiny.
Just as Liu Ji was immersed in my imagination, Liu Xiu, who was on the other side, suddenly discovered that a huge fire was lit in Jiangling City.
"This fire is also your masterpiece?" Liu Xiu asked with a smile.
Qin Hui''s face changed drastically and exclaimed: "No, Meng Gong wants to set fire to the grain, that is the place where the granary is."
"What?"
Before Liu Xiu could react, Liu Ji woke up and exclaimed.
The cost of transporting grain from Yizhou is too high, and Jingnan cannot bear the food and grass of the coalition forces. After all, it was also occupied by the Shu army to capture Jingbei. The Chu army was already interested in providing people with people and efforts, and it would be a bit greedy for others to pay for food.
Liu Ji originally wanted to overcome the difficulties after capturing Jiangling, but now Meng Gong wants to burn it with the fire, which naturally hit Liu Ji''s key point.
"Lord, there are still one million stones of grain in Jiangling Grain Depot. It is impossible to burn it in a short time. If you send more people to put out the fire quickly, you may be able to rescue some of it. If it is too late, it will be too late." Qin Hui urged anxiously.
"well."
Liu Ji quickly agreed, and then personally led his troops into the city to put out the fire and save the food and grass in the city that had not yet been burned.
On the other hand, after Meng Gong finished burning the food, he saw Zhang Xian sending a message soldier.
After learning Zhang Xian’s original words, Meng Gong’s face was full of sorrow. He knew that Zhang Xian had the will to die. After taking a deep breath, he said in a deep voice: “General Zhang Xian, Meng Gong will definitely go back alive and tell Governor Yue Fei your words.”
Zhang Xian asked Meng Gong to pass the message on his behalf, not only to kill Qin Hui, but also to persuade Meng Gong to turn around and not make unnecessary sacrifices, but to lead the remaining army to break out.
As Zhang Xian thought, Meng Gong was ready to fight to the death. After understanding Zhang Xian''s painstaking efforts, Meng Gong gave up his plan to fight to the death. After all, such sacrifice is really meaningless.
"Send the order and prepare to break through." Meng Gong ordered.
"But general, where should we break through?"
Huo Jun''s words came to his mind. After all, there are more than 100,000 coalition forces outside the city, so leaving the city is like seeking death.
Meng Gong fell into deep thought, but a glimmer flashed in Han Shizhong''s eyes, and he quickly spoke, "Break the eastward.
The number of enemy troops in the north is the largest, and the South Gate has been broken by the enemy, so there are only two gates in the east and west to choose from.
There is a road in the west to go back to Xiangyang, and the enemy will definitely be strictly prepared, but the east can only lead to Jiangxia, and it is Liu Xiu''s territory. The enemy will definitely not expect our army to go west.
Therefore, the method of striking east and attacking west can be adopted to make the enemy think that our army breaks west, but in fact, it goes east and puts it to death before resurrection. ”
"But after breaking eastward, how should our army return to Xiangyang?" Huo Jun asked in confusion.
"We can take the water route to Zhangling County and go around to Xiangyang early."
"Pan..."
Meng Gong''s eyes suddenly lit up, he slapped his palm hard and said, "Good idea, let''s follow General Han Shizhong''s method."
"No."
As Han Shizhong expected, the Shu-Chu coalition army indeed thought that the Qin army was going to break out to the west, so they sent more troops to the west.
The reason why I didn''t take this opportunity to directly enter the city is because I only need to break one more gate. Now that the south gate has been broken, the fall of Jiangling has become a foregone conclusion. What I need to consider next is not to break the city, but to resist the Qin army''s death counterattack to minimize casualties.
Although the Ximen gate was opened, no Qin army had come out. However, there were people in the city, and the sounds were constantly coming. It was probably because the Qin army was gathering towards the east gate and would come out in one fell swoop after the assembly was completed.
Just when the Shu and Chu coalition believed that the Qin army was going to break through at the East Gate, Meng Gong, Han Shizhong, Huo Jun and other generals had led 4,000 defenders to gather at the East Gate.
“Breakthrough.”
Meng Gong held up his sword and roared thunder, and the four thousand soldiers behind him also roared angrily.
There are naturally enemy troops outside the East Gate City, but the number is not too large. In addition, everyone thinks that the Qin army will break through the West Gate, so there is no defense at all.
The Qin army''s roar scared the enemy outside the city. Before he could react, Meng Gong, Han Shizhong, Huo Jun and other generals had already led 4,000 soldiers out of the east gate.
The enemy army, who was unprepared, was beaten into chaos for a moment with the fierce attack of the Qin army.
If the Qin army is working harder, it will definitely defeat it in one fell swoop, but the most important thing is to break through now.
Meng Gong did not fall in love with the battle. After successfully fighting, he led the remaining three thousand soldiers to flee eastward.
Seeing this, the generals of the Shu army quickly sent someone to report to Liu Ji, but because Liu Ji went to the city to put out the fire, Liu Ji himself was not found, and the others could not make a decision, so they missed the best opportunity to pursue him.
In Jiangling City, looking at the granary that had been ignited, Liu Ji was so anxious that he could not cry and gritted his teeth, "Meng Gong, if you don''t crush your bones and throw them into ashes, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart."
This is not tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass, but millions of stones of grain and grass. It was burned by Meng Gong, and Liu Ji''s heart was bleeding.
"Report to the lord, General Fan Kuai has captured Qin general Zhang Xian alive."
Hearing this, a hint of pleasure flashed in Liu Ji''s eyes.
Otherwise, Zhang Xian would not retreat and delay his extinguishment of the fire, perhaps hundreds of thousands of stones could be saved.
Therefore, Zhang Xian also made part of the contribution of all the millions of stones of food and grass.
"Take Zhang Xian up to me quickly." Liu Ji said hatefully.
"No."
Unlike Qin Hui''s greed for life and fear of death, Zhang Xian fought to the last moment and knew that Meng Gong was still fighting to the death after leaving the city.
Zhang Xian killed more than a hundred Shu troops, including two generals, one side general, and three school captains, but they attracted Fan Kuai, the general of the Shu army, and eventually lost. He was shot down and was captured alive.
Looking at Zhang Xian who was rolled into rice dumplings, before Liu Ji could speak, Qin Hui took the lead and said, "Zhang Xian, are you willing to surrender?"
"Ph, ph."
Zhang Xian spit out two mouthfuls of blood, spitting on Liu Ji and Qin Hui.
"Qin Hui, you, a shameless villain who is greedy for life and fear of death, do you really think that you are the same as me? If you want to kill, kill me, Zhang Xian, why should I die?"
