Chapter 175: The Flames of War Ignite Jingzhou!
It's night!
At the head of Xiangyang City, the light of half of the city wall was illuminated by the oil fire burning in the pots.
Outside the city, it was dark and cloudy, and on a moonless night, I couldn't see my fingers, only the impression of distant mountains.
Ah Chen is a sergeant on duty late at night, at this moment, his face is full of traces of sleepiness, he is holding a halberd in one hand, covering his mouth with the other, yawning boredly.
He looked at the shadow of the mountain in the distance, and his heart was extremely disapproving!
At this time, how could someone attack Xiangyang!
Not to mention the 100,000 troops in the city, it discouraged some small people, let's just say that today the lord and the court angel have begun to sign a surrender agreement, although this agreement was finally vetoed by Mrs. Cai.
However, Mrs. also thinks that the conditions given by the court are not good enough!
It's only a matter of time before he surrenders to the prime minister, who is the prime minister?
Under one person, above 10,000 people, with an army of millions, who is so ignorant that he dares to attack Xiangyang at this time?
Sun Quan, Liu Bei, or the eldest son?
Don't be funny, together, they can't break through Xiangyang City in a short time, even if they do, what can they do?
The prime minister's million-strong army is just behind!
You have fought down, can you hold it?
I can't hold it!
Who would do such a thankless job?
No one!
So Ah Chen took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, took out a pocket-sized wine jug from his cuff, and secretly poured himself a sip.
Yes~
Delicious!
Ah Chen's face was flushed, half leaning on the city wall of Xiangyang, holding the wine jug tightly with one hand, and blinking uncontrollably.
The people and soldiers in Xiangyang City thought that the days of fear had passed, and the defense of any city head was slackener than usual, although the garrison of Xiangyang City had never been strict!
Outside the city, outside a small hill, there is an army winding for several miles, like a long dragon, at this moment dormant and under the abyss, reining in his own minions, the fierce head of this dragon, is naturally this young man with a gun!
Liu Qi!
Liu Qi looked at the only light in the hazy night, his eyes were a little strange, the night in Xiangyang was no different from usual, but today was a special day.
It's a bloody day!
"Lord, when will I attack?"
At this moment, there are three kinds of people around Liu Qi, the first is that Mrs. Liu Congcai is a fake messenger of Liu Biao's suicide note, they firmly believe that Liu Qi is the legitimate heir of Liu Biao, there are not many such people, but there are a certain number, such as the young general in front of Liu Qi.
The second type is the newly recruited sergeants, these people are trained by the generals in the army, and they have the most no position, and the last type, which is also the largest one, is the pro-Liu faction represented by the Yi nationality!
The last type accounts for the largest number of people, which is why Liu Qi had to succumb to Liu Bei!
"Attack?" Liu Qi looked up at the sky and said, "Let the soldiers have a full meal first, and after the third watch, launch an attack!" ”
As soon as Liu Qi said this, the face of a Qu lieutenant behind the young general turned gloomy!
"Lord, but the time we agreed with Mr. Zhuge is the second watch, not the third watch!"
The ancients divided the night into five watches, three is midnight, is 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock, because the ancients are made by sunrise, sunset and rest, there is no rich entertainment activities at night, seven o'clock is the first watch, nine o'clock is the second watch, five is five o'clock in the morning.
The third watch day is an hour earlier than the second watch!
In an hour, Liu Bei is going to attack the city!
"Oh?" Liu Qi glanced at Na Qu Wei coldly, and his tone was a little cold.
"What is Captain Li Xiongqu's opinion?"
Li Xiong saw the soldiers around him gradually approaching him, his eyes were cold, so the next moment, he closed his mouth and stood aside honestly.
Of course, this honesty can't last!
Of the 20,000 people, most of them are pro-Liu, and Liu Qi won't be able to support it for long!
But Liu Qi also has his own plans, in his eyes, those soldiers who are pro-Liu are no longer his soldiers, so if Li Xiong can't calm down, he will definitely lead his troops forward.
Liu Bei's strategy is one ring after another, if it is broken in his own ring, no one knows what will happen!
After about a quarter of an hour, the dark sky became more and more gloomy, and the air seemed to condense and make it impossible to breathe.
But the sound of Suo Suo's voice became louder, and Liu Qi turned around to see that there was a team of many people who had already gone out first!
Liu Qi had a successful smile on his face, but the young general beside him stood up.
"Lord, shall I not stop them?"
Liu Qi shook his head and said, "Li Xiong left his post without permission, and his crime is already there, so let them go and open the way first!" ”
The young general bowed his hand, but there was a strange brilliance in his eyes.
There were about 5,000 sergeants taken away by Li Xiong, some of them were carrying ladders, and some were holding a huge iron hook in their hands, and there was a long rope behind the iron hook, which was a sneak attack siege equipment at a glance!
Pedal Pedal Pedal ~
Even if the pace of thousands of people was very light, the sound of mixing was not small, Ah Chen's eyes showed a strange look, and he stood up and looked at Xiangyang City reflexively!
Even if the black night is so thick that it is difficult to see through at a glance, in the middle of the night, there seem to be countless shadows moving, and the sound of trampling is like the chirping of an anxious beast.
When did this Xiangyang City become so lively?
Ah Chen smiled, and when he was about to sit down again to drink, his face suddenly changed!
Figures, voices!
Someone is besieging the city?
He was just about to speak, when a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, the black shadow was almost about to merge into the night, but the machete in his hand flashed brilliant brilliance in the night!
The black shadow moved like the wind, and he stepped forward quickly, and before Ah Chen could make any other movements, he found that a knife had passed through his chest.
He was about to scream, but found that his mouth was covered by a big hand, the machete on his chest stirred a few times, Ah Chen's chest hurt, his body trembled unconsciously, and his consciousness was lost bit by bit.
He's dead!
After the man in black put down Ah Chen, he continued to move forward, looking for the next target, and this scene was just a corner of the entire city wall!
More and more sergeants rushed to the head of Xiangyang City, and many shouts rang out.
"Who?"
"You? Wrong..... Enemy forces are attacking the city! ”
"The enemy army is attacking the city, and there is an enemy situation!"
..........................
The shouting continued, and the sleeping city of Xiangyang gradually opened its sleepy eyes!
But it opened its doors more slowly, because the southern gate of Xiangyang had already opened!
