Three Kingdoms: The Reverse Son of the Guan Family, Dragon Blessing Jingxiang

Chapter 222: Breaking the Army Sword Dance, at this moment, follow me to kill——

Historically, in the late period of the Three Kingdoms period, the Jin State and the Wu State maintained a situation of "dividing the world into two" for a long time.

To fight against the powerful Jin State, Soochow adopted the "Hengjiang Iron Cable" method.

——"Order the craftsmen to build iron ropes and cones by the river overnight and set them up."

——"More than a hundred chain ropes, hundreds of feet long, each ring weighing twenty or thirty kilograms, are cut across the river at critical places. Tens of thousands of iron cones, more than ten feet long, are placed in the water."

It is equivalent to using iron to block the entire Yangtze River, making it impossible for ships to move forward.

So here’s the problem?

Hengjiang Iron Cable, how much iron does it take? Obviously, this is not a small expense.

This money? Where did Soochow come from?

In fact, this money can only come from one place, and that is Jiaozhou, the so-called "big dog"!

You know, what happened to Sun Hao and Sun Luban in Soochow in the later period? But financial resources... are still bottoming out.

To a large extent...perhaps it's because the seven generations of the Shi family have a strong foundation in Jiaozhou.

now…

Because of Shi Xie's magnanimity, Guan Lin couldn't help but think about it.

The more I think about it in this direction, the more I feel... How is this plot so similar to a later cartoon about "a rabbit meets a big dog"?

It's hard to say. Is this the rabbit's luck when a rabbit meets a wealthy dog? Or is it the luck of the big dog owners?

Because the rabbit wants money and the big dog wants weapons, the two sides hit it off and each gets what they need.

From this point of view, Guan Lin thinks... Shi Xie, this "big brother" is really capable. Guan Lin thinks it's a big profit, but others think it's just a sprinkling of water.

——"Alas...poverty still limits my imagination!" 』

really…

Shi Xie still has to thank Guan Lin.

"Young Master Guan is so kind and conscientious...I am so lucky to be able to make friends like Fourth Young Master Guan at this age."

Well…

Guan Lin was slightly startled and a little embarrassed. He smiled lightly and said, "I'm just born with a sense of justice... That's right..."

Guan Lin seemed to have thought of something, holding his chin...thinking slightly.

Shi Xie guessed: "The Fourth Young Master must be thinking about how to teach the Jiaozhou soldiers to use these 'Eight Ox Crossbows'? In this way, I will send a team from Jiaozhou to follow the Fourth Young Master to Jiangling, and the Fourth Young Master will send people for training. Don't worry... I understand the rules. Training... and transportation are all extra costs, and I won't put Fourth Young Master in trouble with Huang Laoxie."

The more Shi Xie became so bold, Guan Lin felt a little embarrassed.

"Ahem..."

Guan Lin coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Shi, that's not what I actually want to say."

His tone became serious, "Since Mr. Shi is so bold and trustworthy without seeing the real thing, I, Guan Lin, am not a stingy person. From the manufacturing to the transportation of this 'Eight Ox Crossbow', I can't say more." It's been a month... In the meantime, what if the Lu Army invades again? How will Mr. Shi defend himself against the enemy?"

this…

Guan Lin's words instantly made Shi Xie's brows furrow and his mood became heavy.

Nanhai County and Cangwu County have been lost. If Lu Xun advances again, I am afraid... Gaoliang County, Hepu County, and Yulin County will all be threatened.

What if... the Eight Ox Crossbows were shipped to Jiaozhou, and two more counties were lost.

Then...Shi Xie, the governor of the seven counties in Jiaozhou? Wouldn't it mean that he became the governor of the three counties of Jiaozhou?

The effect of the Eight Bull Crossbow has undoubtedly been greatly reduced... This is something Shi Xie cannot accept.

but…

Shi Xie raised his eyes and looked at Guan Lin: "What can Fourth Young Master Guan do?"

"Yes." Guan Lin motioned for Shi Xie to come over...

Han Xuan was also curious...and wanted to get closer, but he was embarrassed, so he could only stand aside, as if his eyes were watching his nose, and his nose was watching his heart.

However, he didn't hear a word Guan Lin said.

Soon, this whispered sentence was finished.

It was obvious that Shi Xie's face looked like the sun had lifted out of the clouds.

Guan Lin opened his mouth and asked loudly with a smile: "There are a lot of oranges in Yulin, right?"

"Haha..." Shi Xie replied while stroking his beard, "More... When I get back, I will ask someone to take it off and send it to Mr. Guan Fourth."

"No need." Guan Lin was still smiling, and he said with emotion: "If an orange grows in Huainan, it becomes orange, and if it grows in northern Huaibei, it becomes zhi. If this orange is used well, it can repel the enemy thousands of miles away."

Shi Xie handed over his hand.

"Been taught a lesson--"

This is the first time he has met Guan Lin, and it is also the first time he has met such an interesting young man at his age.

Shi Xie couldn't help but sigh.

——"This son's future is limitless!" 』

However, when Han Xuan sent Guan Lin out of the mansion, he specifically mentioned, "If the arms sales are less this time, the Fourth Young Master can count less of my share..."

As soon as this statement came out...

Guan Lin paused and looked up at Han Xuan with a meaningful look in his eyes.

Han Xuan felt uncomfortable being looked at...but he felt something was wrong. The Fourth Young Master should not be such a stingy person. He immediately said tremblingly: "The Fourth Young Master thinks...Gong Duyou and I took too much. Is it done?"

"No..." Guan Lin spoke, and the corners of his mouth widened at the same time, revealing a hearty smile. He sighed: "I was thinking... Mr. Han, you are afraid that you are going to get angry!"

…

…

In history, Sun Quan defeated Hefei five times.

Why didn't you win? Is it because of Zhang Wenyuan?

No…

You know, out of the five battles in Hefei, only one involved Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan.

The other four commanders were Jiang Ji, Man Chong and Zhang Ying.

The span is larger and longer. When Zhuge Ke took command to attack Hefei, the defender was Zhang Te.

It can be said that Wu Jun could not defeat this "Hefei" that Sun Quan had never crossed in his life, no matter whether the defender was a famous general or not.

Among them, the biggest reason is Hefei's geographical location.

Different from later generations…

Hefei is a metropolis with prosperous economy, a scientific center city, and the "hegemonic capital" affectionately called by netizens!

But during the Three Kingdoms period, Hefei was Cao Cao's "bridgehead", "border" and "military fortress"...

During the pre-Qin period, local people dug the "Jianghuai Canal" to connect the Nanfei River and Dongfei River, which made the waterway very smooth.

During the Three Kingdoms period, after Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu and captured Hefei, he mobilized the people to rebuild the canal, and the river's transportation capacity was greatly improved.

It is extremely convenient to transport troops, horses, grain and grass, baggage and weapons from Shouchun in the rear.

You can go down the river in one day!

And this canal was affectionately renamed by Cao Cao - "Cao Cao River".

Looking back at Soochow, the biggest obstacle to capturing Hefei was not Zhang Liao but supplies.

It should be mentioned that in order to cope with Soochow's offensive, Cao Cao specially moved all the people in the Huaisi area between Hefei and the Yangtze River, except Hefei City.

What is left is a large "solid wall and clear wilderness", a no-man's land.

When Sun Quan attacked Hefei, the supply line was extremely long...

The transport team also needs to eat food, and there is not much food left to actually transport it to the city.

Under normal circumstances, when the food is exhausted, the surrounding areas must be plundered, but the surrounding areas are cleared by strong walls. There is no field to plunder, and the cost of continuous supply is too high.

Therefore, it is simple for Cao Jun to defend Soochow. He only needs to find a way to withstand the first few waves of Soochow's offensive.

Later, Soochow would have no food and supplies would be cut off. At that time, how could Soochow still fight?

This is also what Li Dian and Le Jin insist on in Hefei City today.

As long as it withstands the first two waves of Soochow attacks, according to experience, Soochow will wither and retreat!

Unfortunately…

this time…

They encountered a tough fight, encountered Lu Meng's army, encountered Sun Quan's brief admission that "he is not as good as a dog", and also encountered the most determined offensive by Jiangdong's children.

…

——"Dong dong dong!"

The drums sound like thunder…

The east and west gates of Hefei have become increasingly difficult.

Because the arrows are almost exhausted, but the enemy is still charging madly.

Countless ladders are set up one by one...

There is no end to the countless Jiangdong.

During the day, Cao's army resisted all day, and at night... before they had even an hour's rest, they attacked again, and again, and again.

Undoubtedly, this is a severe test for the defenders' mental and physical strength!

Within an hour, Jiangdong soldiers had already climbed up the corridor of the city wall.

Countless people roared, and in the narrow corridor of the city wall, many people fought together without any rules.

Every time the soldiers from both sides fought hard, one person fell, and someone else jumped up from behind.

The two sides hugged each other, tore each other, and their weapons were knocked off... They bit each other with their teeth and hit each other with their heads until their heads were bloody...

It's as if there is some deep hatred between the two sides!

And both sides know...

They have no way out.

Take (hold) or destroy!

"Everyone rush up to me..."

On the tower of the west city gate, Xu Sheng had already climbed up. He waved his sword and shouted, as if to guide the Jiangdong disciples behind him to move forward. "Pojun Sword Dance, at this moment, kill me! Kill——"

The deliberately prolonged ending made Cao Jun frightened, and also made all the Jiangdong disciples excited and excited.

the other side…

At the east city gate, Zhou Tai withstood the attack of countless spears and jumped from the ladder to the tower. He was shot again in his left shoulder, but despite the pain, he pinched the throat of Cao Jun in front of him with his hand...

With a "pop" sound, Cao Jun's neck was crushed by Zhou Taisheng.

Ignoring the blood flowing from his shoulder, he struggled to pull out the spear's blade, and the blood on his shoulder suddenly spurted out...

But Wanruo, the blood made him tougher, like an iron man, never taking a step back!

His appearance made Cao Jun fearful...

——"This... guy didn't come out of hell, right?" 』

Zhou Tai almost single-handedly protected the three ladders, allowing the soldiers to climb hard.

His eyes were red and he yelled.

"You bastards, if anyone steps forward again, I'll make him get blood splattered on the spot!"

——"Kill!"

At this moment, a group of Cao soldiers came to support him.

"Li Dian is here, all the officers and men are in formation, resist... and take back the tower!"

Immediately, Li Dian led his army to kill Zhou Tai.

At the west city gate, Le Jin also came to support, and he personally faced Xu Sheng's iron chain sword.

Accompanied by the sound of "canglanglang", gorgeous sparks stirred in the night.

He did not forget to shout.

"The three armies obey my orders and hold their positions...No retreat!"

However, neither Li Dian on the East City Tower nor Le Jin on the West City Tower noticed that Xu Sheng and Zhou Tai... were laughing under the cover of the night.

——『Finally fell into the trap! 』

——"Gan Xingba, it's up to you!" 』

——"With a new commander, this battle will be much more comfortable!" 』

As the sky gradually lights up, the sky is white and filled with mist.

The North City Gate at this moment...

The three generals Han Dang, Gan Ning, and Pan Zhang, who were lazily attacking the city, looked at each other.

It’s almost time…

With a "clang" sound, the three of them drew their sabers at the same time.

"—Everyone, attack the city with all your strength! The first to reach the city will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins, and those who retreat will be killed!"

The words fell...

Gan Ning and Pan Zhang took the lead, and Soochow's main force of 30,000 troops moved.

Ladders, rushing cars... all of a sudden poured out of the military formation.

"Fight in!"

"Avenging shame!"

The cry of killing... suddenly surged and surged!

And where did the defenders at the North City Gate think...

Soochow's originally gentle offensive suddenly became violent.

"Quick...quickly report to Generals Li Dian and Yue Jin!"

"It's too late...I can't hold it anymore. There are so many enemy ladders, and they are already...already trying to climb up!"

"The city is broken——"

"Run...run--"

"South Gate, run to the South Gate——"

The flames of war burned, and countless people roared heart-breakingly.

Dawn is approaching, and from a bird's eye view from Jiutian, more and more red figures can be seen, quickly climbing up the black city... eventually covering all the northern towers of the city.

Then...the opening of the North City Gate.

Without the barrier of the city wall, the 30,000 Jiangdong disciples were like sharp knives, piercing straight into the city of Hefei.

Cao's army, which originally numbered less than ten thousand, was torn open in an instant...

And this crack is still deepening and expanding, like a dam that has been eaten by ants, becoming riddled with holes in an instant.

The city of Hefei is strong, and Cao Jun standing here is brave.

Le Jin was also a good general among the Five Sons... He never suffered a single defeat until Guan Yu conquered the North Road.

Li Dian was even more elegant and capable of defeating generals.

But...this time.

After all, there was nothing they could do to save the day.

When the North City of Hefei was breached, Cao's army collapsed much faster than imagined.

"General Li...the North City Gate has been lost!"

"General Le, the North City Gate is gone!"

Almost at the same time, Li Dian and Yue Jin at the east and west gates heard the sound at the same time.

They couldn't believe it at all...

This "fortress" of Cao Jun, this "bridgehead" of Cao Jun just... fell like this.

Fortunately, Li Dian and Le Jin are not reckless...

The two quickly saw the current situation clearly.

It is no longer possible to counterattack!

Street fighting is a road to death!

"Oops..." Li Dian said secretly... "Send a message to General Yu Lejin quickly and tell him... to evacuate to the south gate..."

"Want to run? Did you run away?" Xu Sheng's sword was already blocked in front of Li Dian. "The winner hasn't been decided yet?"

…

now…

The north city gate opened, and tens of thousands of Jiangdong soldiers led by Gan Ning rushed into the city.

The sound of footsteps shook the earth...

The people in Hefei City hid in their homes and closed the heavy doors. The elderly held their children and families cuddled with each other. At this moment... they were extremely timid...

And a word came into their minds.

——Tonight, I’m afraid the king’s flag will change on the city wall.

"kill…"

"Rush over."

"Chase to the south gate, don't let Cao Cao go..."

These Jiangdong soldiers are too "hungry", they are too eager to avenge their past humiliation,

The most important thing is that they finally waited until...

Waiting for a reliable leader.

After all, it’s not the Lord Sun Quan who is in command!

All Jiangdong children have waited so hard for this day!

The right time and the right place... There is really only one chance to avenge the past!

On the other hand, Le Jin...

"Where is General Li Dian?" He has retreated to the south gate...

"General Li Dian was... held back by a thief general!"

"Oh..." Le Jin let out a long sigh, but... when he looked at the south gate...

He had no time to care about Li Dian's situation...

His heart was filled with infinite sorrow.

As a general who has experienced hundreds of battles, and as Cao Wei's most adept at attacking cities, how could he not know... "There are three in the siege but one is missing"?

There is no surrounding wall here... isn't it a place where the enemy ambush?

Isn't it just the enemy's attempt to annihilate the enemy in the field?

Can…

But...the current situation.

Even though we knew there was an ambush here, we had to retreat this way.

"Hey..."

Le Jin finally let out a long sigh, "Withdraw... withdraw with me!"

Suddenly...thousands of Cao's troops quickly exited the south city gate, and they ran towards Shouchun along the official road.

only…

In the trees on both sides, there were already three generals, Ma Zhong, He Qi, and Zhang Cheng, waiting in full formation.

The situation...is irreversible!

…

…

Under the city of Hefei, in the Dongwu military camp, in front of the Chinese army's tent.

"Woof woof woof——"

A pitiful puppy was howling sadly, its limbs and head were tied up with ropes, and corresponding to each rope was a strong horse.

The knight on the horse is holding a riding whip, as if waiting for instructions.

At this time, Sun Quan, the leader of Soochow, walked out of the Central Army's tent. He did not know the battle situation in Hefei City, but this "puppy" that suddenly broke into the army made him angry.

"Woof~~woof~~"

The puppy's voice became more and more mournful. It didn't know that what it was experiencing now was an extremely cruel punishment - being quartered by five horses!

"My lord, you are ready."

Some personal guards asked Sun Quan for instructions.

Sun Quan raised his hand to give the order - start!

Because of Guan Lin, because of Lu Meng, and because of Sun Deng...

Today, and even in the future, he, Sun Quan, will hate "dogs" and everything related to dogs.

Including those "dog-like" things.

Who asked Guan Lin Guan Yunqi to compare him, the leader of Soochow, with a "dog"?

"open…"

The word "beginning" has not yet escaped my lips.

"Father..." Sun Deng had already rushed over...

He suddenly saw a dog being cut into pieces by five horses in front of the Chinese army's tent, and was immediately startled.

But he had something urgent to report and did not dare to delay, so he quickly said: "Father...Gan Ning led 30,000 Wu troops to attack the city!"

Well…

Sun Quan's green eyes opened instantly.

He seemed unable to accept it for a while, "Deng'er? What did you say?"

"——We captured... Hefei City... our army captured it!"

Sun Deng's words were extremely exciting.

Sun Quan, on the other hand, was briefly surprised by this sudden news.

Then, he couldn't help but raise his head and look up at the bright sun rising in the east.

He couldn't help but roar from the bottom of his heart.

"We captured... Hefei City was captured alone -"

this moment…

Sun Quan seemed to see the appearance of his eldest brother Sun Ce and Sun Bofu in the bright sun rising in the east.

Back then, eldest brother...not only captured Hefei?

My eldest brother once attacked Guangling City in Xuzhou!

It was also there that the eldest brother Sun Ce met his mortal enemy and nemesis-Chen Deng!

And he, Sun Quan... wants to get out of the shadow of his elder brother and create an era that belongs to him, Sun Quan.

He must capture Guangling City, which his eldest brother failed to capture.

However, this damn Hefei City has made it difficult for Sun Quan's era to come!

alright…

Finally done!

Everything is fine now.

Hefei City was captured. The so-called "Cao Cao River" used to help Cao Cao's army transport baggage and grain. Today... it can help Sun Quan easily transport baggage and grain when he attacks Shouchun...

He could go up the river at any time and go straight to Shouchun.

After that...it's Guangling in Xuzhou, the footprints of eldest brother Sun Bofu.

Sun Quan is a strong man, and he must prove that his era is far superior to that of his elder brother Sun Ce!

etc…

——"Not go north along the river at any time, but go north along the river immediately!" 』

Sun Quan suddenly thought of something and quickly ordered:

"Deng'er, tell Lu Ziming and ask him to lead the victorious army and immediately go north to attack Shouchun City..."

ah…

Sun Quan's words shocked Sun Deng. "Father, are you a little anxious?"

"Hahahaha..." Sun Quan laughed. It was rare for him to show an open-minded side. "As the Shiro of the Guan family said, maybe...it's not possible to lead an army alone, but like Zijing, as my son said, an independent person can't be strong. The local government is not about commanding troops, but about appointing people on their merits. It is about the vision that only the 'master' has, and I understand people's hearts better than you all!"

Sun Quan pointed to the northwest.

"My son, I want to ask you, how far is Shouchun from Hefei?"

"Less than a hundred miles!" Sun Deng replied without thinking.

"You want help? How long will it take?"

"Less than a day!"

"So..." Sun Quan smiled and said: "If Shouchun had soldiers, they would have come to rescue Hefei long ago. How could they give Gu a day and two nights to attack the city? How could Hefei fall! Haha, Shouchun is just an empty city. !”

this…

Sun Quan's words made Sun Deng startled, and he looked at his father as if he suddenly realized something.

Sun Quan continued, "My son, Gu's vision goes beyond Shouchun. Gu wants to capture Guangling City. Gu wants everyone to admit from the bottom of their hearts that Gu is more powerful than Gu's brother!"

These words came out of my mouth...

Sun Deng held up his hands and said, "Father...here..."

As he spoke, he quickly ran towards the front line again. At this moment...he admired his father from the bottom of his heart.

However, Sun Quan's bodyguard continued to ask.

"Lord, this dog..."

"Hahahaha..." Sun Quan seemed to be in a good mood: "Let him go, give this dog a meal of meat, let him eat enough, and raise him well... These 'dog-like things' are still useful in Gu's eyes." !”

What Sun Quan said was profound.

But who can know?

Who does the so-called "dog-like thing" he refers to refer to?

Lu Xun?

Sun Deng?

Or...Lu Meng and Lu Ziming?

…

…

Believe it or not, I really just finished coding...

Let’s talk about three chapters today, just three chapters…

Milk Candy will definitely go all out.

(The key is how do I save up for tomorrow’s manuscript! I’m worried to death!)

Ps:

Give me a monthly vote!

Now it's still double.
