Three Kingdoms: Hegemony System

Under the cover of Tai Shici, Zhou Yu successfully joined Zhu Zhi, led the remnants of the defeated army, and went all the way to Liling, and did not arrive until noon.

At this time, Liling was already an empty city, with only 300 defenders in it, and if you wanted to defend it, you couldn't hold it at all.

Zhou Yu didn't want to defend at all, after he came to Liling, he asked Zhu Zhi to count the soldiers and horses, while waiting for Tai Shici, and at the same time sent spies out to find out the situation.

Although the hope is very slim, Zhou Yu will never give up hope until the end.

"Ziyi, you must come back!" Zhou Yu clenched his fists and looked north from time to time.

At this time, Zhu Zhi finished counting the soldiers and horses, came over and said: "Dudu, now our soldiers and horses are only in the early 10,000s. "

Zhou Yu's eyes were bloodshot, and after hearing the news, his face became even more gloomy.

Since Pan Zhang and Dong Xi lost one after another, Zhou Yu actually had 25,000 of the 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.

In this retreat, Dong Xi led 5,000 people to take the waterway, so if it is calculated, there will only be 15,000 left of the 30,000 army, which is completely more than half of the loss.

Hearing this result, Zhou Yu's eyes were gloomy, and he was defeated at the hands of Liu Jue twice in a row, and now he already had some self-doubt.

However, after a while, Zhou Yu perked up his momentum and said, "The army will immediately set off and go to Nanchang City." "

Zhu Zhi sighed and said, "Don't you wait for Ziyi?"

Zhou Yu's eyes were red and he said: "If Ziyi can escape, he will already join us by this time, but I am afraid that he has fallen into the hands of the enemy now." "

Zhu Zhi was silent for a while, and then said, "I'll order the army to start." "

Just when Zhou Yu was about to go to Nanchang, Huang Zhong and Gan Ning led an army of 7,000 and came to the outside of Nanchang one step ahead of him on a very fast steamer.

Nanchang was the seat of Yuzhang, and after Zhou Yu retreated from Chaisang, he stationed the army here.

Because there was Chaisang as a barrier before, the city wall of Nanchang City was not as tall and heavy as Chaisang, and after Zhou Yu led an army of 30,000 to attack Chaisang, the defenders of Nanchang were only 2,000.

The city is still tall and strong, but the defenders are not very sufficient, and the city wall stretches for nearly ten miles, so how can the defenders in the city defend?

"Dock!"

Gan Ning looked at the nearby Nanchang City, and immediately ordered the soldiers to dock the ships along the coast, and soon, fifty steamers approached the shore in an orderly manner.

After docking, the soldiers on the ship lowered the gangplank, and 7,000 soldiers disembarked and assembled.

Like most ancient cities, Nanchang was also close to the river, and Ganning was not far from the city, and they were soon discovered by the defenders of Nanchang.

Looking at the two big flags of 'Yellow' and 'Gan' hanging on the bow of the ship, a soldier suddenly exclaimed: "Who is that 'Yellow' flag, is it General Huang Gai? But who is the 'Gan' flag?"

"Idiot! That is clearly Huang Zhong and Gan Ning of Jiangxia, this is the enemy attacking! Hurry up and close the city gate!" Sima who was defending the city was full of cold sweat, and after quickly giving the order, he hurriedly asked people to report to the county order.

"General Huang, do you say we are attacking hard or persuading us to surrender?" Gan Ning looked at Huang Zhong, after all, in terms of seniority, Huang Zhong was older.

"Don't talk nonsense with them, there shouldn't be many defenders in Nanchang City now, let's attack the city directly, and we will definitely be able to capture it soon!" Huang Zhong said, glancing at the head of Nanchang City.

The city wall of Nanchang is so long, with all 7,000 people deployed, the defenders are bound to be difficult to resist, and it will be very simple to take Nanchang.

Gan Ning nodded, and said to his corporaries: "Lift down the long ladder for the siege of the city, and immediately prepare for the siege." "

At this time, in the city of Nanchang, there was already a melodious horn, and the defenders at the head of the city were very nervous, how could Jiangxia's army come to attack Nanchang?

Isn't Metropolitan Governor Zhou Yu attacking Chaisang in front?

Besides, there are only 2,000 defenders in Nanchang now, and if they are to be scattered within the four city walls, there are only 500 people on each side, and for a city nearly ten miles long, 500 people is really not enough to stuff their teeth.

At this time, the county order of Nanchang had received a report from the defenders, and he almost didn't scare his soul out, so he immediately rode all the way and galloped wildly, and finally came to the top of the city.

Seeing the battle of the enemy army outside the city, I am afraid that the number is nearly 10,000, and the number of people in my own city is 2,000, which is ...... Can this be held?

The county commander's brain is spinning rapidly, and now Zhou Yu's side doesn't know what to do, since the enemy army is coming to attack Nanchang, I'm afraid the situation on Zhou Yu's side is not optimistic.

And the cities around Nanchang, the nearest is to build a city, but it takes more than a day to go back and forth, and there are not many soldiers and horses to build the city!

The county commander gritted his teeth and said, "Let all the soldiers come to defend the city, and you must defend it for me desperately!"

However, can it really be kept? The county order has no bottom in his heart.

At this time, outside the city, Gan Ning's soldiers had already moved all the long ladders off the ship, and with an order, the army slaughtered towards Nanchang City.

At the head of the city, Sima Guard's palms were full of sweat, looking at the thousands of people who pounced on the city, he was also thinking about whether to escape.

But if he was a Sima, if he abandoned the city and fled, he could only be cut off by Wu Hou.

Like this Sima, the soldiers at the head of the city were also very nervous, because the enemy came suddenly, they did not have time to prepare the materials to defend the city in a short time.

Under the city, Huang Zhong asked 3,000 men to start attacking the city from the north gate, and 1,000 soldiers each from the west gate and the east gate made a feint, and the rest of the soldiers began to shout loudly.

"The defenders in the city listen, Zhou Yu has been defeated, surrender to avoid death!"

"What? The Metropolitan Governor has been defeated!" When the defenders of Nanchang City heard this, they immediately became panicked, especially the county order, which was already considering whether it was time to surrender the city.

Gan Ning held the iron knife in his hand, leaned back slightly, looked up at the city and then said loudly: "Whoever kills the first to kill the head of the city, the reward is fifty taels!"

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, Jiangxia soldiers roared in unison, and soon rushed to the city of Nanchang.

"Quick, shoot arrows!" The county commander commanded in a panic, and the archer, who was already nervous, suddenly subconsciously let go of the bowstring in his hand.

Suddenly, the sparse arrows shot towards the enemy troops under the city, causing no damage at all, it was simply tickling.

Soon, hundreds of long ladders were erected on the city wall, and Jiangxia soldiers began to scramble and swarmed towards the city.

"It's over, what are you all doing!" the county commander was almost like crying, and when he saw that the first enemy army had rushed to the city, he suddenly made a decision in his mind.

"Surrender! We surrender! Open the city gate quickly!" the county commander hurriedly shouted, since Nanchang City can't be defended, it is still important to save his life.

The soldiers defending the city all shouted to surrender when they heard the county order, and they had no fighting spirit, so they all chose to give up resistance immediately.

After a while, the gate of Nanchang City was opened, Huang Zhong and Gan Ning looked at each other and smiled, this time they took Nanchang down without much effort.

"In this way, Zhou Yu's back road has been cut off by us, so let's wait for him here. Huang Zhong laughed loudly, with the joy of victory on his face.

"That's right!" Gan Ning said with a smile, sure enough, as long as he occupies Chaisang, the vast land of Jiangdong can be occupied wherever he wants!
