Chapter 671: Into the City

After Xu Huang led the troops back to Dianjiang, he informed Yan Pu of everything Meng Da said, but Yan Pu frowned and remained silent for a long time when he heard the words.

"In the past, I only heard that Yan Yan was a famous general in Shu, and I didn't think it was credible, but through his performance in Jiangzhou in the past few days, it can be seen that this person is by no means a person who has lost his name."

"If Meng Da wants to help the general capture Jiangzhou, it will not be easy."

Xu Huang pondered for a long time, and then said: "Wealth and danger are sought, if you can really capture Jiangzhou so easily, the world will definitely shake, and the officials of Yizhou will be panicked." ”

"At that time, the lord led a large army to attack Yizhou, how could the officials of the counties and counties dare not open the city and surrender?"

Yan Pu didn't say anything anymore when he heard this, and the two of them waited silently for the arrival of the third day.

At dusk on the third day, Xu Huang had already taken a group of soldiers and horses and secretly arrived in the mountains near Jiangzhou.

In order to hide people's eyes and ears and avoid being discovered by the defenders of the city, the army was all wrapped in horses and hooves, and quietly hid their traces.

Not only that, because this area could not hide many soldiers and horses, Xu Huang did not bring all the soldiers over, and only led 5,000 elite foot soldiers.

It was the night moon and the dark wind was high, and suddenly a scout came to report: "General, two green lights have been hung above the west gate of Jiangzhou." ”

Liu Bi and Gong Du were all overjoyed when they heard this, and said excitedly: "It seems that there is really an opportunity to take advantage of tonight, I can kill the West Gate now, raise the fire as a number, and let Meng Da and others open the city gate." ”

Looking at the two people grinding their fists and palms, Xu Huang also felt a little excited, if he could defeat Jiangzhou, the entire Ba County would be decided, which would be equivalent to opening up the channel of the Guanzhong Army and the southern expedition to Yizhou.

This is definitely a great achievement, and it is also a miracle created by Xu Huang leading the troops alone.

It must be known that among the generals in the entire Guanzhong, there are very few generals who can lead the troops alone and make great contributions. If Xu Huang can quickly occupy Bajun, his status among the generals in Guanzhong will definitely be raised again.

Because Xu Huang had suffered a great defeat in Baibo Valley, his soldiers and horses were all lost, and even he himself was almost killed.

Although Wen Zhao has always promoted him, Xu Huang still feels a little guilty in his heart; Not only him, but because Wen Zhao attaches great importance to Xu Huang, many of the generals in Guanzhong also have a lot of complaints.

Even if Wen Zhao asked Xu Huang to serve as the Taishou of Hanzhong this time, many talents were strongly opposed at first.

Xu Huang saw all this.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Huang is forced to make a meritorious career and repay Wen Zhao's kindness at the same time, so as to make a name for himself.

Retracting his thoughts, Xu Huang hid his excitement in his heart, and he felt the cool wind of the autumn night, and suddenly calmed down.

The general commander of the army not only cannot rashly raise troops because of anger, nor can he be swayed by other emotions.

The commander of the first army is a qualified commander only if he keeps a clear head at all times, and too much excitement brings not a surge in combat effectiveness, but impulsiveness and destruction.

In the face of Liu Pi and Gong Du's invitation, Xu Huang did not respond immediately, but carefully sorted out his thoughts.

"At this time, Yan Juncheng should have led his troops to this side, and the army is estimated to arrive in Jiangzhou until the early morning of tomorrow."

"Although the 5,000 men and horses under my command are very elite, if you want to break through Jiangzhou at the lowest cost, the only way to kill Yan Yan by surprise is the best policy."

In order to confuse the Jiangzhou army and make them relax their vigilance, Xu Huang did not dare to leave Dianjiang with more soldiers and horses.

Even if he brought 5,000 soldiers and horses out of the city, he also asked Yan Pu to plant flags in Dianjiang City to confuse the scouts sent out by Yan Yan.

Later, Xu Huang was worried about some accidents, so he gave Yan Pu an order, asking him to send cavalry to hunt down the Jiangzhou scouts on the one hand, and lead the troops to Jiangzhou in advance.

Rao is so, the army will not be able to reach Jiangzhou tonight.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Huang said: "Since the West Gate has hung up two lanterns, it means that they have finished preparing and giving the order to go down and prepare to attack the city!" ”

The two of them responded violently and began to convey Xu Huang's order.

After the order was delivered, when he was about to go to capture the city, Xu Huang suddenly felt a little uneasy. This feeling of uneasiness is similar to when he was in the White Wave Valley.

That feeling made Xu Huang unforgettable, and now that he suddenly had this feeling again, his face immediately changed greatly.

……

The city of Jiangzhou was very quiet, as if all the Jiangzhou troops had gone to sleep.

But as long as there are people standing on the top of the city wall and looking closely, they will find that the city is full of heavily armed soldiers.

Yan Yan asked Meng Da a little anxiously, "Didn't you already make an appointment with Xu Huang?" Why is it that until now, there is still no shadow of the Guanzhong Army? ”

Meng Da also felt extremely strange, and hurriedly said: "I did make an agreement with Xu Huang to attack Ximen when I was in the child, maybe he had something to delay the trip, so he didn't come as scheduled." ”

"The general Hugh should be worried, I expect that Xu Huang will never let go of such a big credit for capturing Jiangzhou."

Qin Mi also comforted Yan Yan and said: "The terrain of Bajun is complicated, the Guanzhong army is not a local clan, and it is normal to get lost during the march, so the general just waits patiently." ”

Hearing the words of the two, Yan Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

This battle is related to the life and death of Jiangzhou, and whether it can break through the Guanzhong army, no wonder Yan Yan is so anxious.

The three of them waited for a while, and suddenly someone came to report: "General, a group of people from outside the city are quietly approaching the west gate." ”

When Yan Yan and the others heard this, they were immediately overjoyed, and Meng Da hurriedly ran to the city wall.

"Wow!"

After the Guanzhong army touched the bank of the moat at the west gate of Jiangzhou, he suddenly raised a torch, and the first general shouted: "Where is Meng Da, if you don't open the city gate and put down the drawbridge now, when will you wait?" ”

In the light of the fire, Meng Da saw that the two generals in front of him were Xu Huang and Liu Bi, and he was immediately overjoyed. And the Jiangzhou defenders on the city wall who were in a daze seemed to be frightened by the scene in front of them.

He suddenly pulled out the sword in his waist and shouted sharply: "Yan Yan is unjust, we have already demoted the general, and those who dare to resist will be killed!" ”

After speaking, Meng Da led some people to kill the soldiers beside him.

Xu Huang stood under the city wall, looking at the chaotic Jiangzhou West Gate defenders, his face still did not change in the slightest.

It didn't take long for the shouts of killing on the walls to cease, only a creaking sound could be heard, the gates were opened, and the drawbridge was lowered.

"Kill!"

Xu Huang carried a big axe and went to the city first; Liu Pi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly beckoned the soldiers to follow.
