Chapter 55 Qiu Ba is under the city
The next day, September 28.
When the sky was about to dawn, the outpost of the Wu army, pretending to be a merchant ship, had successively controlled the beacon tower on the north bank, and LΓΌ Meng took the lead, and the warship marched close to the north bank, covered by the fog of the light river, and the beacon tower on the south bank was unnoticed.
Before Fu Shiren, the public security guard, was aware of it, he saw the Wu army's warships appear on the river, and at this time, several beacon towers on the south bank lit wolf smoke to no avail.
Without the 300-mile beacon tower on the north shore to transmit wolf smoke, the warning message could not be transmitted to the more distant Xiangfan battlefield.
Tian Xin guessed wrong, it was true that Fu Shiren had a letter contact with Sun Quan, but he did not promise to do internal response.
In the public security city, Yu Chuan rode to the city gate alone to ask to see Fu Shiren, Fu Shiren dodged and did not see, and Yu Flip sent a handwritten letter to Fu Shiren: "The wise man prevents disasters before they sprout, and the wise man plans to suffer in the future." Knowing what you are losing can be, knowing how to survive and dying, and not being lucky. β
"The trip of the army, the scouts are too late, the beacon fire is too late, this is not the mandate of heaven, there must be an internal response."
"When the general does not see it, it should not be done when the time comes,"
"Defend the city alone and do not surrender, and if you fight to the death, you will destroy the sect and destroy the rituals, and the world will laugh at it."
"Lu Huwei wants to go to Nanjun, cut off the land road, and the way to survive is blocked. In the case of its terrain, the general is on the tongue of the tongue, and it is inevitable to run, and it is unrighteous to descend. Plagiarism is uneasy for the general, but fortunately thoughtful. β
Fu Shiren's psychological defense line collapsed, the city opened with a cry, and the public security city changed hands.
The Wu army was immediately divided into two, LΓΌ Meng took Fu Shiren to march to Jiangling, and Lu Xun supervised the troops to pass through the public security and the mouth of the Youjiang River and continue to trace the river, heading straight to Yiling.
The scout came to report that Tian Xin had taken control of the military camp in the city with Guan Yu's secret order at the first time, and sent Guan Zhong's soldiers to blockade Mi Fang's county guard.
At this moment, there are nearly 10,000 troops in the old city barracks, Tian Xin has only 4,000 people available in his hands, and he has to divide 1,000 people to guard the old city barracks, fortunately, the barracks are in the north of Jiangling City, and the Wu army wants to liberate the army, and it has to detour for 20 miles, and there is a city wall that needs to be broken.
At least 1,000 men were to be left in the city, and only 2,000 were actually able to go out to fight.
Jun Sima Xihong went with Pang Lin to assist Huang Quan in Micheng yesterday, and only Luo Qiong and Lin Luozhu were left by Tian Xin's side.
Tian Xin didn't have an idea whether to go out of the city or not, and the wave battle didn't seem to have any other meaning except to hit the morale of the Wu army and boost the defenders to warn the surrender of the army.
But once you get out of the city and there is a change in the city, then it will be too late to say anything.
This is different from the Battle of Xiangfan, which was commanded by Guan Yu, and Tian Xin was only responsible for the fight, so he didn't need to think too much.
After hesitating, Tian Xin still decided to completely tear his face with the Mi family, and first take Mi Fang's family property to encourage morale.
The front door of the county guard mansion, the pavilion is solid enough to have three layers, and there are Han Que on both sides, and the pavilion and the que stand full of Mi Fang trilogy, and hold the bow and are ready to go.
Because the arsenal was taken over by Tian Xin, most of the troops summoned by Mi Fang successively held short soldiers, and the bows and crossbows were still the materials reserved by the county guard.
"Mi Fang rebelled, and the servant is not guilty!"
More than 1,000 soldiers in the pass wore two crotch armors, holding shields and carrying knives around the county guard mansion and repeatedly shouted in unison.
Tian Xin waited quietly with the bloody Fang Tian halberd in his hand, and Yu Ban also wore a collar and two crotch armor to stand beside him, and Yu Ban was silent.
Mi Fang's family members in the city were searched successively and dragged to the county guard's mansion, and soon Mi Fang's war spirit collapsed, and Mi Fang's desperate arson attempted to burn the county guard's mansion, but was extinguished by his own tribe.
At about noon, the county guard mansion opened, and a group of county government subordinates and scribes who discarded their blades escorted Mi Fang to Tian Xin.
The subordinate officials and Mi Fang's subordinates knelt down, Mi Fang hung his head and said viciously: "Child! My today is tomorrow! β
Tian Xin's eyes moved to the crying daughters and Mi Fang's children who were escorted out later, and said: "You are the old man of Wang Yuancong after all, and life and death are not up to me." I will entrust the Mi family to Mrs. Guan's care, and you will be escorted into the military camp to accompany the army. I will take out your gold, silver, and cloth, and I will reward the soldiers. β
Mi Fang opened her mouth and wanted to scold again, but when she heard her grandson's loud cry, she couldn't help but sigh and close her eyes: "Tian Xiaoxian, if I die, you can burn my bones and scatter them into the river, and the old man will be buried in the Han soil without shame." β
After handing over Mi Fang's family, Tian Xin said to more than 50 people from the county government and his subordinates: "The gentleman is not guilty, and all officials will be reinstated." The Mi clan was incorporated into the army to serve and became a battalion of its own in order to make meritorious contributions. β
Someone has already sent Mi Fang's county guard seal, Tian Xin took it and handed it to Pan Jun: "The affairs of Jiangling are all entrusted to you, and the enemies outside the city are entrusted to me." β
Pan Jun hesitated slightly, but still caught it: "I am willing to do my best to help the general." β
"Good."
At this time, Tian Xin turned around and boarded the chariot, and said to the soldiers of Guanzhong, Mi Clan, and Jiangling defenders near and far: "The army of the prince can arrive in three days, and after three days, each army will be rewarded with a horse!" β
"I will recruit eight hundred men who dare to die, and follow me out of the city to fight the thieves. Recruits will be rewarded with a tael after the war! Silk five horses! β
"Those who are willing to break the enemy with me can assemble at the south gate!"
Eight hundred people, one tael of gold, which is converted into fifty catties of gold, Mi Fang's worth is still there.
Tian Xin said a wave of his hand, and drove the royal chariot to the south gate, after the soldiers in Guan Zhong were a little silent, they immediately followed the chariot away, and some Mi clan tribes hesitated a little and followed empty-handed to see how to place.
Pan Jun and Yu Ban looked at each other a little embarrassed, Pan Jun solemnly walked into the mansion holding the seal of the county guard, and the big and small officials followed each other.
At the south gate, there were already carried stock armor, many battle equipment, and five layers of thick winter clothes sewn all morning.
Tian Xin personally supervised the selection of strong men, a dozen people in a row, he swept over at a glance and left a few who he thought were suitable, and the rest moved to the barracks to reorganize.
Those who are selected register their names and places of origin, receive their identity cards, and then freely choose armor and weapons.
Tian Xin selected enough 800 people, so he hurriedly climbed the city wall to look, Lu Meng had occupied the sandbar island in the center of the river as a temporary base, and was dividing his troops to land on the shore, carrying the transported timber, reinforcing the wharf outside the city, setting up antlers and fences, and did not see any large siege equipment.
The pier is less than three miles from the city wall, which is very close.
The siege equipment should still be in the rear fleet, and now if you attack by yourself, you can only slightly rub the sharp spirit of the Wu army, and you can't burn a single ship of the opponent, and you can't burn the siege equipment.
This is the first battle of the army, and the Wu army has a psychological shadow on the Han army whose morale is like a rainbow and has won successive battles.
If you go out of the city to challenge, the other party has no room to avoid the battle and show weakness.
Now this battle must be fought, and if this battle is won and fought beautifully, the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city will increase and they will not give in easily.
There are also the 10,000 troops who did not dare to make a move until the situation was clear.
The Han army did not have the habit of killing and surrendering, but the current Wu army was full of a large number of captured Shanyue tribes, and this group of Shanyue tribes was not so particular.
Tian Xin found Luo Qiong: "Later, I will go out of the city to fight, and the guards must guard each gate without losing anything." β
Yangzhou merchants who had escaped from the city appeared on the battleship where Lu Meng was located, and told in detail: "Hearing the change, Mi Fang is still hesitating, and Tian Xin went straight into the military camp in the city. When Mi Fang woke up and wanted to compete for the soldiers in the camp, Tian Xin was already in the camp, Mi Fang sent people to rush to Yuanmen, and most of the battalion soldiers did not dare to move Mi Fang's old department, and seven or eight people were all killed by Tian Xin! This villain saw with his own eyes, and there was no trace of fraud. β
Mi Fang then returned to the county government to convene the troops to defend themselves, and they were going to open an arsenal, but they didn't want to be attacked by Tian Xin. It is expected that at this moment, Mi Fang has been captured by Tian Xin. β
The merchant also handed over a silk book: "The divine soldier created by this Tian Xin, the night before was completed, and it was taken from the blood of two thousand military officials who were forbidden to practice, causing the iron to be cut like mud after that." β
Lu Meng took the silk book and glanced at the pattern of Fang Tian's halberd, and couldn't help frowning, this thing is indeed really majestic, but he was also a brave fighter when he was young, and he could see many inappropriate places at a glance.
Yu Pan said at this time: "Tian Xin is brave and loves Guan Yu and Liu Bei, and he will also be brave and self-consolidated." Now the soldiers in the city are mixed and the people are afraid, and they will bravely seek battle to boost morale. I thought that I should deceive and lure the enemy, so I lured Tian Xin to the shore and gathered a bed crossbow to shoot him. With his death, Gangneung's fighting spirit was scattered. β
Lu Meng looked around at the junior generals in the army: "Who is willing to do this?" β
The generals competed for the lead, and Lu Meng selected Xu Wei, who was determined to be stable in his eyes, and led more than 1,000 people from his father Xu Gu's old department to fight.
In the great plague in the twenty-first year of Jian'an, Xu Gu, Chengdang, and Song Ding died of the epidemic, and their children were too weak to lead the army.
