The Shuhan Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 42
Under the bloody battle of Xiaoting, the city gate of Xiaoting slowly opened under the heavy rain, as if to bring the people outside the city to another world, a world that belonged to them, and a group of soldiers appeared in the city to welcome them.

But Zhuge Qiao didn't seem to accept their good intentions, he raised his spear and stabbed the general in the chest while Chen Dao was unaware, and Chen Dao also rushed into the city first. Only the body was left lying on the ground.

Zhuge Qiao's three hundred Yulin troops rushed into the city and started a massacre, while Han Dang's body was also left aside; A position that can be defended while waiting for the arrival of the army.

When Han Dang led a large army to the decisive battle, he also stayed behind nearly [-] soldiers to garrison Xiaoting to prevent accidents. Zhuge Qiao now has [-] soldiers stationed at the west gate, but the city wall is long, so the soldiers have not had time to gather together. Chen Dao led the army to attack the city tower, or maybe it happened so suddenly that Wu Jun didn't react at all.

The [-] imperial forest troops who attacked the tower began to gradually eat away at this section of the city wall. Even though the Wu army had [-] soldiers guarding this section of the city wall, they still could not resist the crazy killing of the imperial forest army. In less than a quarter of an hour, the imperial forest army controlled the west gate. Of course, this is not over yet, Wu Jun's reinforcements will continue to arrive, and they are ten times the number of Yulin Army, and Zhou Tai's tens of thousands of remnants will also arrive.

Without stopping for a moment, Zhuge Qiao immediately put away the suspension bridge, closed the west gate, and used the rolling stones and logs hoarded by the defenders to pile them inside the gate to prevent the gate from being breached; Zhuge Qiao made all preparations. Ruan just sat on the ground, thinking about how miraculous and thrilling what happened just now, but he still sat on the tower of Xiaoting.

"General Zhuge, what orders do you have?" Chen Dao walked up to Zhuge Qiao without any arrogance as a general, on the contrary he was very respectful.

"General Chen, don't be like this! Call me Bosong; sit down and rest for a while, we will be the greatest contribution to this war as long as we hold on until His Majesty arrives." Zhuge Qiao was also chatting and laughing at this time, completely forgetting The coming war.

"Then I'll call you Bosong," Chen Dao did as well.

"Bo Song, you shocked us all in this battle, especially when you came up with a surprise attack on Xiaoting. Everyone knows that with 300 people, the difficulty of attacking and defending the city can be said to be close to death," Chen Daozhizhi said. Staring at Zhuge Qiao, his eyes were full of admiration.

"Do you know why I did this?" Zhuge Qiao also stared at Chen Dao.

"Your Majesty, if you want to become a king, you must fight against the Central Plains. At this time, the Shu Han is still too weak, and you must accumulate strength to fight against Cao Wei. If our army loses troops in the battle against Wu, then what year will we have to wait?" He Yue can win the Central Plains; if we don't take Xiaoting at this time, and wait until the Wu army recovers, it will not be that we have sacrificed hundreds of people, but will drag the entire army here, and lose the momentum of going all out; Think I can't hold this part of the wall"

Chen Dao seemed to be intimidated by Zhuge Qiao's words, "Bo Song, you really are a peerless national scholar," Chen Dao praised.

"Compared with Uncle Chen, I am far behind. The general is the real national soldier. He has followed His Majesty for more than [-] years. His white-eared elite soldiers are really the strongest soldiers in the Shu Han." Zhuge Qiao also changed his name to Chen Dao. uncle.

Chen Dao was also amused by Zhuge Qiao, "Bo Song said that you are the Shu Han...

"Report, there are a large number of enemy troops in the general's city, and they are coming towards the west city, and the north and south walls are also constantly coming towards this side." Suddenly a soldier came to break the conversation;
"Got it, go get ready." Chen Dao also frowned

"Bo Song, they are here after all, get ready" After finishing speaking, Chen Dao immediately got up and walked to his place; Zhuge Qiao also summoned Qin Hong and Qin Shan; because he left in a hurry at that time, Zhuge Qiao only took the two of them with him. People, others are rushing here with Liu Bei at this time.

Leading dozens of people rushed to the southern part of the city wall to resist the threat from the south gate defenders; the south gate defenders also rushed towards the tower like a pack of wolves at this time, but what stood in front of them was a group of Tigers, even though there were hundreds of people rushing towards them and only a few dozen of them, none of the Imperial Forest Army flinched. These soldiers are all elites that Liu Bei has acquired in decades, which is beyond the reach of a state. make up.

The guard of Nancheng was delighted to see that there were only dozens of people resisting him; he rushed to the front to get the credit. During a round of battle between the two armies, the guard was shocked. He bullied the soldiers with his ability. There is no problem, but today he encountered a tough problem; he was unable to fight against this group of soldiers, and at this moment Zhuge Qiao discovered that this general was the commander of this army "Qin Hong, kill him" Zhuge Qiao Pointing at the guard; I wanted to kill him myself, but the previous battle told him that the long weapon is not as simple as he imagined, and rushing into the enemy's encirclement by relying on his ability is definitely not seven-in-one-seven Instead, he was hacked to death with knives.

Qin Hong got the order and immediately rushed into the enemy's siege, Qin Shan was also guarding beside him, the guard saw the two men chasing him, so he retreated, facing the crazy resistance of hundreds of people, the Qin brothers also followed. Withdrew; but the victorious momentum of the defenders before was suppressed. Facing the iron-like defense of the Imperial Forest Army, this group of Wu troops seemed to no longer believe in themselves;
At this moment, Zhuge Qiao led the crowd to rush towards the Wu army's formation, and the guard also shouted desperately, "Reinforcements are coming, hold on for a while..." This did give Wu army morale, but it also exposed his position ;
The war is still going on, but without the shout of the guard, the soldiers of the Wu army are in chaos instantly; it turns out that there is a dagger on the neck of the guard, but it is not a dagger, but a dagger. The dagger worn by Zhuge Qiao.The soldiers of the Wu army saw that the main general was killed, and the Han army was so brave that they withdrew back.

Qin Hong, Qin Shan, and the soldiers who had just seen Zhuge Qiao attack all cast disbelieving glances at Zhuge Qiao; Zhuge Qiao walked up to the guard, pulled out his dagger and inserted it back into his calf; "Return to the army" Faced with the disbelief of the crowd, Zhuge Qiao only spit out two words, and rushed towards the west gate.

At this time, the thousand reserve soldiers in the city launched an offensive towards the west city gate. Since there are two ladders inside the inner wall, it is more convenient to capture than the outer wall. Some soldiers also set up ladders on both sides, ready to climb Climbing; however, with Chen Dao's tenacious defense, all this seemed so useless.

Zhuge Qiao also ran directly to the north section of the city tower, where hundreds of soldiers with the Wu army were fighting, while the Han army had less than a hundred soldiers, but they still resisted the Wu army's offensive on this narrow tower.
