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

Changsha City, this wave of 50,000 Wu troops is the most violent offensive.

Finally, it came to an end with the "Changsha Army" retreating into the inner city through the corridor at the top of the city that only accommodated two people.

Ding Feng, the warrior who climbed onto the city first, stood proudly at the top of the city, enjoying the crowds and shouts of countless soldiers.

However, this excitement only lasted for a few breaths, because all the Wu troops who ascended first discovered that it seemed that Changsha City, with its strong walls and thick walls, was completely different from other cities.

In other cities, after capturing the city wall, the next step will be street fighting.

As the name suggests, the defenders gathered together to resist the attack in the streets and alleys, waiting for an opportunity to recapture the city gate.

But often... when the battle reaches this point, the towering and strong city walls cannot stop the enemy. There are no obstacles in the streets and alleys. How can the defenders mediate?

It is nothing more than stubborn resistance.

Therefore... often for both the offensive and defensive sides, capturing the city wall or losing the city gate is directly or indirectly equivalent to capturing the city and losing the city.

but…

Just as the Wu army generals were excited, they were shocked to find out.

Not to mention... there are two old and new cities in Changsha City, and they only captured the new city.

Just...the walls of this new city include inner and outer walls.

In other words... they have only broken through the outer wall of the new city.

They also need to conquer the inner walls of the new city and the inner and outer walls of the old city...

In other words, their siege progress is not even half of the actual capture of Changsha City.

this…

Looking at the city head of the inner wall facing the outer wall in the distance, looking at the Changsha Army still standing solemnly on the city head, and looking at the end of the corridor between the inner and outer walls that can only accommodate one person.

The narrow stone door covered with stone cones has been locked...

Those hard stone cones seemed to tell the invading people that if they wanted to rush from the city wall to the inner city... even if they had to pay the price of blood, it would be no more than a dream.

Ding Feng, who was still excited at first, froze when he saw this, as if he were a fossil solidified in amber.

For a moment, Ding Feng felt that he was quite funny.

He is as proud as a caterpillar and as proud as a hammer!

What the hell—it’s just the first step!

At this time, Lu Meng and more than ten thousand Wu soldiers... all poured into the outer city of the new city.

When noticing…

In front of him, there is an inner wall that must be crossed. His expression is the same as that of Ding Feng at this moment.

——‘Is what we just captured just an outer city? Look at this posture... Do I have to fight three more times? 』

Think about it, how lucky and difficult it was to win this battle...

Lu Meng's expression became extremely solemn.

On the other hand, Jiang Qin and Zhu Zhi beside them were pointing at the top of the inner wall with their swords and spears respectively.

"If you can capture it once, you can capture it the second time..."

Zhu Zhi said this.

Jiang Qin looked around and analyzed towards Lu Meng: "Right Governor, the outer city wall was just covered with wooden arrows and stones, as well as the powerful eight-oxen crossbow, which really made us feel uncomfortable. Now...the enemy has withdrawn." With such straightforwardness, it is impossible for those arrow stones and eight-oxen crossbows to retreat into the inner wall... With these eight-oxen crossbows, the right governor is still afraid that he will not be able to break the city?"

Jiang Qin mentioned two points. One is the wooden arrow stones. These are placed at the top of the outer city. Some are scattered outside, while others are covered with cloth and tied in bundles with ropes.

These are what this group of Soochow soldiers who came by surprise are in urgent need of supplies.

Of course, the more important thing is - the Eight Ox Crossbow.

This thing has made Soochow suffer too much. Since Jiaozhou, there have been cases of beheading with one arrow, which severely damaged the morale of the Wu army, made the Wu army afraid to move forward, and even indirectly contributed to the relocation of the Lu family.

This eight-oxen crossbow is terrifying!

It is precisely because of this that all the generals in Soochow are extremely familiar with it.

When they just attacked the city, every soldier paid special attention.

Because of their familiarity, they naturally knew that this eight-oxen crossbow was a powerful weapon for city defense, but it was also a powerful weapon for attacking the city. The crossbow arrows it fired could penetrate directly into the city wall, allowing the soldiers to climb up...

With this help, what if Changsha City has two walls, the inner and outer?

Can they stop Soochow's army?

"Right Commander, immediately search for the eight-oxen crossbow, and then use the crossbow arrows as city ladders to order the attack on the inner city, right?"

Just after Zhu Zhi and Jiang Qin proposed respectively...

In the direction of the distant inner wall, a chorus of more than ten people shouted in unison, and a converging sound wave swept over them.

——"Your Excellency is the right governor of Soochow?"

The appearance of this voice caused Lu Meng and a group of Soochow soldiers to turn their heads and look over.

But I saw...more than ten messenger soldiers shouting towards this side from the inner city wall.

In front of these messenger soldiers, a young general wearing silver-white armor was standing tall.

Obviously, it was the sentence he shouted, "Your Excellency is the right governor of Soochow!"

As the enemy shouted, all the Wu troops became alert, "Right Commander..." They looked back at Lu Meng and surrounded him.

On the contrary, it was Lu Meng who waved his hand to signal everyone to disperse.

He walked alone to one side of the city wall and looked at the young general across from him.

"Tell him that I am Lu Meng, the right governor of Soochow. Who is he?"

Following Lu Meng's voice.

The messenger soldiers from Soochow arrived quickly, stood in a row and shouted to the opposite side from a distance.

——"My general is Lu Meng, the right commander of Soochow. My general asked, who are you?"

——"I am a little-known young general from Jingnan, my name is Hao Zhao. Here...I salute Governor Lu on behalf of my young master Yunqi. Haha, Governor Lu...this city that my young master ordered me to build is still here." Solid, right?”

It was Hao Zhao who had the conversation with Lu Meng.

Hao Zhao specifically mentioned Guan Lin.

The effect was also very obvious. When Guan Lin's name was raised, all the soldiers of Soochow were stunned.

There are those who are timid and quietly retreat just because of this name.

In the past year...the appearance of this name has always been a bit "weird" to both Soochow and Cao Wei. The appearance of this name seems to be an eternal omen between Soochow and Cao Wei. .

Lu Meng was also stunned for a moment because of Guan Lin's name. Then he narrowed his eyes slightly and asked the messenger to pass the message:

——"No wonder the city of Changsha is so strong. It was originally built by your young master. But unfortunately, the city is dead but the people are alive. Now this outer city belongs to me, Soochow!"

——"Thanks to the compliment from Governor Lu, if we want to conquer the two walls and four walls of Changsha City... it will take more than just one outer wall of the new city. Governor Lu will have to attack three times, so we must work harder!"

Hao Zhao seemed to be deliberately irritating Lu Meng.

In other words, it was deliberately attracting his attention.

"Hahaha…"

Lu Meng was not fooled. He pointed behind him at the arrow stones left on the towers of the outer city. Not far away, there were impressively several eight-oxen crossbows. In fact, not only on the towers, but also in front of the entire inner and outer cities. A large amount of ordnance is piled up...

The boxes of these ordnance are undoubtedly open, as if to facilitate the soldiers guarding the city here to take them out to defend against powerful enemies.

Lu Meng looked at the ordnance again, laughed again and said: "You only have a thousand men to defend the city. I have fifty thousand troops coming here, and the eight-oxen giant crossbows you have prepared. Can't you defend the outer wall? Just the inner wall? And defend the inner wall?" Can you live there?"

"Yes..." Zhu Zhi also raised his voice and roared: "You are rebellious, please quickly hand over Gan Ning, the thief of Soochow, and I will spare your life -"

Following Lu Meng and Zhu Zhi's message, the Wu troops poured into the outer city.

No matter on the tower or below, everyone shouted in unison: "Kill, kill, kill——"

For a moment, the sound shook the heaven and the earth.

These sounds were demonstrations and intimidation, causing Han Xuan and Gong Zhi at the top of the inner city, and Changsha Prefect Liao Li here to frown and look unusually solemn.

On the other hand, Hao Zhao's face was always as calm as the lake, terrifyingly calm and calm.

With such a powerful intimidation ahead of him, for him, this is no longer a matter of remaining calm even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him!

It was simply... He had been pinned down by Mount Tai, but his expression remained unchanged.

Faced with the panic and intimidation, he just calmly said a few words.

"Tell Lu Meng that I, Hao Zhao, are waiting for him to break the city——"

Following Hao Zhao's voice, a group of messengers shouted.

"General Hao Zhao said, waiting for you Lu Meng to break the city——"

"General Hao Zhao said that he is waiting for you, Lu Meng, to break the city——"

"General Hao Zhao said..."

Three consecutive... sounds resounded, as if they were competing with the enemy's shouts of "kill".

Just, how much...

In the eyes of Lu Meng and the soldiers of Soochow, this sounds like a dead duck with a tough mouth.

Especially in the eyes of Lu Meng, Zhu Zhi, and Jiang Qin, if they attack four times, they will attack four times. If their Changsha Army has all their trump cards, what other tricks can they use?

"Send my military order..." Lu Meng's eyes narrowed, staring at the inner city, "The whole army is ready. In half a quarter of an hour, we will attack the city -"

The messengers thought that Lu Meng wanted to tell the other party this to intimidate them, so they shouted in unison: "My general said that we will attack the city in half a quarter of an hour!"

"My general said that in half an hour we will attack the city——"

Suddenly, the atmosphere here became grim.

gas! shake! cold!

On the other hand, at the top of the inner city, Changsha Prefect Liao Li became nervous, "Hao Bodao, Hao Bodao... why did you provoke him, Lu Meng? He is attacking the city in a big way, we... can we defend it?"

In stark contrast to Liao Li's nervousness, Hao Zhao remained as calm as ever.

"Just keep it as you should..."

"But he has eight oxen crossbows... and those ordnance supplements." Liao Li almost roared. He pointed to the boxes between the two walls outside the city. There were a large number of ordnances in them. They couldn't transport them. The ordnance that came back, and...

"Have you seen...Wu Jun, Wu Jun's tens of thousands of soldiers have...already entered the city. With the outer city and these weapons to rely on, their attack will be more fierce!"

Following Liao Li's words, Hao Zhao's eyes suddenly narrowed, "What I'm waiting for is for Wu Jun to enter the city -"

At this point, his words suddenly became sharp, "Prefect Liao, I just said that I, Hao Zhao, will not make four mistakes. Similarly, Lu Meng will not make the right choice four times, so..."

For a moment, Hao Zhao's eyes were extremely profound.

"He Lu Meng is already making mistakes!"

After Hao Zhao finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked coldly at the city head opposite.

At the same time, he gestured to his confidants beside him, and then...

A soldier raised a special military flag, and then... At the corridor at the head of the inner and outer city, a secret mechanism was triggered.

at this time…

A strange smell appeared in Lu Meng's nose.

"A sneeze", this made Lu Meng sneeze suddenly.

He felt like he smelled something. It was a very pungent smell, but... he couldn't tell what it was?

But soon, the smell changed to the smell of "burnt" charcoal.

Immediately afterwards…

Only a heavy muffled sound was heard, and a stone gate crashed from the outer wall, severely blocking the entire outer city gate...

The Wu troops that were pouring into the outer city were split into two...

The people inside immediately turned around and pushed the stone door, and the people outside were also smashing at the stone door desperately, but the stone door remained motionless... but completely isolated the inside and outside. To be precise, it was the Wu Jun inside... who could not get out. ,

Almost at the same time…

There was a "boom" at the head of the outer city, as if something exploded.

In an instant, thick smoke hit my face...

What followed was scorching flames that seemed to burst out from the ground, and they quickly swept through the entire outer city like countless fire dragons.

Then... crazily sweeping over the small area in front of the two walls, the outer city wall...

The source of these flames is the place where... "beating wood", "arrows", and wooden "Eight Ox Crossbows" are stored. They are in boxes...

From there... it quickly spread to the entire outer city.

Last breath…

Lu Meng still felt uncomfortable with his eyes being smoked.

The next breath, he felt that his whole body was submerged into the fire dragon, and was almost completely swallowed up by the flames...

"ah--"

At this moment, Lu Meng seemed to realize something.

He first looked back at the weapons that covered the entire city tower.

This situation was enough for him to judge that the problem lay in those boxes...

yes!

Who would have thought…

These ordnance cannot be taken away by the Changsha army. In the boxes stacked with weapons and arrows, there are flint, grease, fire sickle, tinder...

The overwhelming grease, somehow triggered by a mechanism, poured all over the outer city...

Especially tinder, this wild "fireweed", looks like an ordinary velvet.

It was Hao Zhao. He had people pick the "fire grass" in advance. He took advantage of the tide to tear off the strips of velvet on the back of the "fire grass", dried it in the sun, twisted it into a ball, and then dipped it in saltpeter or sulfur... and hid it in That mouthful of boxes!

Buried between the inner and outer city...

Such tinder can ignite when it encounters a spark.

And such "tinder" almost covers the entire outer city...

Most of them were enclosed in sealed boxes. When Hao Zhao ordered people to retreat into the inner city, he ordered people to open the boxes.

These boxes, the outermost arrows and broken wood have undoubtedly become the best cover...

The entire Wu army didn't know that since they entered the city, they had been surrounded by "ignition objects".

this…

This is the first trap set by Hao Zhao.

Lu Meng is right in saying that no matter how strong the city is, it is still dead, but the people are alive...

The reason why Changsha City, the old and new cities, and the inner and outer walls, are impregnable... The reason why it is unbreakable is not only because of its solidity, but also because... Under such a structure, even if there are fewer enemies and more enemies, Hao Zhaoneng made four mistakes in his plan. But Lu Meng...he only needs to make one mistake, which can be fatal——

And...more importantly, this is Hao Zhao's home court.

This city was built by him. It is no exaggeration to say that wherever he wants it to be set on fire, wherever he wants it to be set on fire, wherever he wants to be burned down...everywhere he wants to be can be burned to ashes overnight!

——Zhengu Hao Zhao knows how to build a city, and he also knows how to take advantage of the city’s home field advantage!

The biggest mistake Lu Meng made was...

When he entered the city, he had a conversation with Hao Zhao through the air, saying those meaningless words...

But he didn't immediately check the ordnance in the outer city or the inside of the boxes full of luggage!

He naively thought that the Changsha Army...had no time to evacuate, leaving him with ordnance.

In fact, what was left on the surface was indeed ordnance, but what was buried deep underneath was a hidden fire?

…

The river wind seems to carry a special magic power. Its roar can make the flames more violent, multiply their power, and have the ability to devour everything overnight.

The flames that were still spreading in the outer city seemed like... when they encountered the thin pipes, they looked like fish oil splashing all over the sky. In an instant... it became manic.

crackling…

Crackling.

The flames engulfed the Eight Ox Crossbow, and the earth-shattering crackling noise caused by the flames was like a sudden explosion of thunder in the air, making the entire outer city shake.

soon…

The densely packed Wu army began to be ignited, and the people who were burned went crazy, making the mournful cry of a night owl, and ran all the way... towards their companions.

Often the associated consequence is that he alone managed to ignite many people, turning more Wu Jun into pyromen...

Then, these Pyromen fell down...and lost all movement, and then, all that was left of them was a pile of skeletons, turned into a pile of ashes.

Lu Meng, Zhu Zhi, Jiang Qin…

At this moment, facing this sudden fire, their heads were "buzzing". They were lucky... because of their status, they could still find a place that was not ignited by the fire, and even had soldiers guard the periphery... to remove those The burning man who rushed in was killed in one blow!

Can…

The screams, screams, howls, and even the neighing of horses are Jiang Dongjiro's cry for help, everywhere...

This feeling of watching my companions die in the fire but being unable to do anything... is really... so confusing and helpless!

"It's my grandma's fault, I'll fight with them..."

Zhu Zhi couldn't bear this the most. The national traitor Gan Ning had not been eliminated, but an army of 50,000 was pressing down on the border...but...he was burned like this. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he pulled out his knife and was about to rush into the sea of ​​fire.

"You're out of your mind -"

Lu Meng, who was burnt and disgraced, grabbed Zhu Zhi. Zhu Zhi looked back in confusion and horror. His eyes were wide open, but it seemed that... Lu Meng's pull made him come back to his senses...

Who is he going to kill?

Should he fight the flames?

Is he stupid?

"Oops -" Zhu Zhi roared incompetently. He looked at the sea of ​​​​fire and the people who were being burned to death every moment, as if poisonous thorns were constantly stabbing his heart, liver, spleen, and lungs. , Shen: "Why...how could this city be attacked like this!"

…

"Oops, I still fell into the trap!"

Outside the city, the young general He Qi, who was highly regarded by the ruler of Soochow, was originally bringing his troops to smash the stone gate, but the spread of the fire made him retreat quickly until he retreated there... He couldn't feel it. Location of sizzling temperatures.

He and all the Wu soldiers, nearly 20,000 people, were witnessing the fire outside Changsha...

There are also the more than 20,000 Soochow soldiers who are in the sea of ​​​​fire.

"damn it…"

He Qi couldn't help but open his mouth fiercely.

The stone gate that suddenly fell down at the city gate... seemed to be in the same boat as the fire.

He was the culprit who trapped more than 20,000 Soochow soldiers to death.

——"Fire, fire, fire..."

He Qi couldn't help but ask himself in his heart.

Obviously...obviously when Lu Meng sent the Yun Echelon to attack the city, the defenders had already set fire...

Burn the ladder with fire.

He even did not hesitate to let Changsha City fall into this fire. Now... the entire outer city of Changsha City is on fire!

Obviously…

It was obvious that he had learned from past mistakes, but why didn't He Qi...and Lu Meng think of it...didn't think of it?

He Qi hated himself...

If you hate yourself, you can become smarter. If you hate yourself, you should be more vigilant when you see the inner and outer walls.

But now...he just hates himself, so what's the use?

Lu Meng?

Zhu Zhi?

Jiang Qin? And what should we do with the more than 20,000 soldiers who are now in a sea of ​​fire? what to do--

"Hey...hey!"

He Qi was still sighing.

A deputy general next to him asked: "General He, here... you are the only general. We... we won't save you?"

"Save?" He Qi smiled, a bitter smile. He closed his eyes and shook his head, his cheeks full of sadness, "How to save? Please teach me how else to save?"

…

On the other side, at the top of the inner city, because the "pipe" spreads grease along the outer city, and the tinder is spread against the side of the outer city, so... the inner city will not be poisoned by the fire.

However, many soldiers of the Wu army rushed towards the inner city in order to avoid the fire.

But Hao Zhao had already prepared for this. Crossbows were already deployed at the top of the city. Just waiting for these Wu troops to enter the firing range, more than a thousand crossbow bolts were fired... Let these Wu soldiers who were not killed in the sea of ​​fire... In an instant, he became a dead soul under the arrow.

It really proves the saying - if you don't take the road to heaven, there will be no way to hell to break in.

The Wu army, which is attacking from both sides of the city, is like a turtle that has fallen into an urn...it will die if it is horizontal, and it will die if it is vertical!

"It's amazing, it's amazing, it's amazing -"

Liao Li, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, now had nothing but endless admiration for Hao Zhao.

He was like a "little fanboy", looking at Hao Zhao with great admiration.

"What do you think? Bring the enemy in and then burn the outer city. You can also think of such a method..."

It seems that this talented person of Chu who was called by Zhuge Liang to be on par with "Pang Tong" was, at least at the strategic level, a bit...exaggerated.

Hao Zhao looked at the fire outside the city and listened to the sound of howling ghosts and wolves that could be heard without the need for "messengers" to send messages. He said lightly, "Back then, Military Advisor Zhuge used this trick once! That was in After Bowangpo…”

Hao Zhao kept a calm tone, "That time when Cao Ren led a large army to attack, Zhuge's military advisor proposed to Liu Huangshu to move all the soldiers and civilians out of Xinye City to induce Cao Ren to break the city. Instead, he filled the city with fish oil, tinder, and flint. Waiting for something to ignite the fire, that night...Cao Ren broke through the city and when everything was silent, all the fire arrows fired...Xinye City was set ablaze!"

"Zhuge's military advisor asked several generals to set up an ambush outside the city gate. The fire soaring into the sky forced Cao's army to flee in panic. However, they were routed by the generals who set up the ambush. They had no choice but to die in the sea of ​​fire or be intercepted and killed by our army!"

Speaking of this, Hao Zhao seemed to recall the past, "I am from Jiangxia, and the two fires of Bowangpo and Xinye City are not far from me. From then on, I had a huge interest in Zhuge's military advisor. I tried my best to hear all his stories, and every strategy he made... I would also think carefully about it based on his strategies, and think about how to improve them so that they could be used for my benefit."

At this point, Liao Li couldn't help but interrupt, "So, you devised a strategy that is equivalent to following Kong Ming's example of luring the enemy into the city and burning it down?"

"It doesn't count." Hao Zhao shook his hand and said solemnly, "I was originally an inconspicuous pawn in the Wei army, but Master Yunqi didn't despise my identity and acted as a matchmaker for me, allowing me to marry the woman of my dreams. It allowed me to climb into the Jingzhou clan and establish a firm foothold in Jingzhou. Therefore... Mr. Yunqi asked me to build Changsha to defend against Soochow. I must build the city and defend it! This is The kindness of being acquainted with someone is also the kindness of being a matchmaker, and it is also... the emotion that leads me to the right path. For this reason..."

"For several months, I have been thinking every day, considering a series of situations when facing the enemy's attack on the city, simulating situations in dangerous places again and again, improving one thing when I think of it, and burying something when I think of it. The next place is Ange, Guan...Lü Meng's army is pressing down, with two thousand defending fifty thousand. When you see this situation, you will definitely be nervous, worried, and panic-stricken, but I won't, because I have been there every day for this year. Prepare for whatever happens now!"

At this point, Hao Zhao's tone became meticulous, "What you saw is just one method. I still have twenty-seven methods of using two cities and two walls to defend the enemy, haha..."

Hao Zhao suddenly smiled, his cheeks seemed to fluctuate for the first time, "Don't worry, as long as I, Hao Zhao, are here, he, Lu Meng, can't get through. I can make more than four mistakes, but Lu Meng, he only needs to make one mistake. Then this Changsha City... he can only look at the city and sigh!"

Hao Zhao's voice was not loud, and his tone was not firm, but his calm cheeks and calm tone gave people a sense of great confidence.

This feeling is like his twenty-seven strategies for defending against enemies. If Lu Meng had the courage to rush in, he would definitely hit them all!

Then in the end, no scum is left!

Hao Zhao's words also reached the ears of Han Xuan and Gong Zhi. The two exchanged glances. Han Xuan said loudly in a very low and deep tone: "What a piece of raw jade." ——”

Speaking of this, Han Xuan nodded and increased his voice. He seemed to mutter a poem: "Cranes are heard in Jiugao, and the sound is heard in the sky. Fish are in Zhu, or lurking in the abyss... in other mountains." Stone can attack jade!"

…

…

On the Changsha City side, a fire completely disintegrated Soochow's offensive.

This was Lu Meng's fifth siege, and it was also the one with the heaviest losses for the Soochow army...

The fire burned for half a day, and when the fire was completely extinguished, Lu Meng and a group of remaining soldiers withdrew from the outer city in despair. Of the more than 20,000 Wu troops, only more than 2,000 were left.

Half of them had been coughing violently since the moment they left the city, and looked painful, as if they had inhaled a large amount of thick smoke, causing irreparable damage to their lungs!

Lu Meng is one of them...

His coughing has not stopped since he escaped.

Even though he was coughing violently, he still looked back at the outer city that he had finally captured with great reluctance...

Satire!

The ultimate irony!

It took Lü Meng five attacks to capture the outer city, which exhausted all his efforts, but abandoning the outer city... only took a short one and a half days, and at the cost of tens of thousands of soldiers!

The consequences are heavy!

"Ahem... cough... send a message to the lord, just say... just say that Changsha County needs help, needs... cough... cough... needs help -"

Lu Meng's voice was very sad.

In fact, without his instructions, He Qi had already sent people to report the battle report here to Jianye City and to Sun Quan.

Suffering a rout…

Low morale...these were the two major pain points that Lu Meng suffered from stabbing Jing Nan in the back and confronting him head-on.

"Where is Ding Feng?" Lu Meng noticed that Ding Feng was missing and asked quickly.

"Alas..." Following Jiang Qin's deep voice, he sighed: "General Ding Feng...he didn't come back..."

yes…

In history, Ding Feng was "naked in heavy snow". He was a fierce and tough man, how could he be afraid of fire? How is it possible to hide? He was not burned to death by the fire, but died in the thick smoke...

If you take a breath of this fine smoke, your head will soon faint, and then you will leave peacefully with a rosy smile.

And with the sentence that Ding Feng didn't come back...

"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."

Lu Meng's coughing became even louder.

If just now, the two major pain points weighing on his heart were successive defeats and low morale, then now... there is another one:

——Loss of troops and generals!

"Cough cough...cough cough..." By the end, Lu Meng was coughing very hard.

He felt like he couldn't bear it anymore.

Who would have thought... The house leaks but it rains all night? Unparalleled blessings come, and misfortunes never come alone, just at this moment.

"Report..." Two urgent reports came in succession.

Because Lu Meng had given instructions before, the urgent report was sent directly to him without any need for communication...

Therefore, two messengers filed in, and the first messenger reported: "On the battlefield of Jiangling, General Zhou Tai went deep into the battlefield alone, encountered an ambush, and... was beheaded by the enemy general Mi Fang in the valley, leaving the words - the murderer Donghai Mi Fang was also !”

this…

Lu Meng covered his chest with his hands. He used his last persistence to hold his breath to prevent the blood that had poured into his throat from spewing out.

Never thought...

The second article is even more explosive... The messenger reported in an almost urgent tone: "Guan Yu... Guan Yu led the Jingzhou Army to raid Jiangdong. Yesterday, the Dongting Lake Water Village fell, and Yiyang fell this morning. At noon... Guan Yu has led his fleet towards Chibi. , Chibi...Chibi is empty, I'm afraid...I'm afraid...I'm afraid it's hard to resist!"

This report was chanted, and Lu Meng returned before he could respond. Zhu Zhi stood up from his seat with a "swish", "You...you lied about military information. What crime should you be guilty of?"

"Xiao...everything Xiao said is true."

"You fart!" Zhu Zhi pointed at the messenger and cursed angrily: "It is my brother Zhu Huan who is stationed in Yiyang. It is my Zhu family army of 20,000 troops. How many Guan family troops are there? Even if it is a surprise attack? The city gate is closed, he Is it possible that he can fly into the city? Even if Xiu Mu (Zhu Huan) cannot win, he can defend it for half a month. If you are not lying about the military situation, what are you? "

this…

Following Zhu Zhi's words, the messenger quickly reported all the details.

Including how Guan Yu attacked the city thousands of miles away!

Including how the Guan family's army destroyed the city like a magic weapon descended from heaven.

What’s more…

"Zhu...General Zhu Huan has been killed in battle. He was...killed in the city——"

ah…

Following the messenger's words, Zhu Zhi's pupils widened to the limit, and his mouth opened, but he wanted to refute the messenger's words but could no longer get out of his mouth.

Judging from the messenger's solemn words, what he said... is probably true!

"ah--"

Immediately, Zhu Zhi roared loudly...

In just half a year, he lost his nephew, his son, and his younger brother. Now... Zhu Zhi is the only one left in this huge Zhu family. He... he is so sad! Sadness comes from the heart!

at this time…

Another messenger broke into the room, "Reporting... the fall of Chibi, Guan Yu... Guan Yu led his army to Fankou without stopping. He... his target is... I'm afraid it's Chai Sang, it's... Jianye!"

"boom…"

"Boom!"

This successive piece of information made the solemn atmosphere in the military tent grow higher and higher.

Just when everyone was stunned, horrified, and dumbfounded by this latest piece of information...

"puff--"

Finally, Lu Meng, who could no longer hold back the grief in his heart, spat out a mouthful of blood...

And as blood spattered, he seemed to have lost all strength, rolling over from the bed and falling to the ground.

His face was pale and his eyes were closed tightly...

Except for the thin "cough" sound, accompanied by the blood stains coming from Yu's mouth... his entire face looked like a corpse.

"Right Governor——"

"Right Governor——"

Suddenly, the entire tent was in chaos!

It’s better to be conservative. It’s true that blessings never come in pairs, but misfortunes must come three times in a row——

…

…
