Ji Ling, Liang Gang, and the others had just reached the top of the city wall when they heard the drums outside the city. Everyone looked at each other, wondering if the Zhao army was going to attack the city today. They hurriedly ordered the soldiers to prepare to defend the city. After waiting for a long time, they only heard the sound of drums from Zhao Xin's camp, but not a single soldier came out. Everyone couldn't help but find it strange. They didn't know what Zhao Xin was up to.
After waiting for half a day, there was still no movement. Liang Gang saw that although the flag in Zhao Xin's camp was still there, there was not a single person in the camp. His heart stirred, and he said to Ji Ling,"General, why don't we send someone out to investigate? "
The scout arrived outside Zhao Xin's camp and saw that there were no soldiers left. He didn't have time to enter the camp to investigate and immediately reported back to Ji Ling.
When Ji Ling and the others heard this, they were at a loss. Ji Ling wanted to lead the army out of the city to take a look, but Liang Gang stopped her."We will report to the Lord and let the Lord decide everything. "
After Yuan Shu heard everyone's words, he remained silent for a long time and fell into deep thought.
Ji Ling said,"My lord, why don't I lead the troops to Zhao Xin's camp? If I find something wrong, I'll immediately return to the army." "
Yuan Shu looked at the others and said,""Alright, then take 10,000 soldiers out of the city and be careful. "
Ji Ling led the troops outside Zhao Xin's camp and first sent five hundred men in to check if there was an ambush.
After a while, the leader returned with a strange expression. He said to Ji Ling,"There are no more soldiers in the general's camp. I've checked everywhere and there are no ambushes. As for the drumbeats, you'll know when you follow me. "
Ji Ling suspiciously led the army into the camp, and everyone followed the colonel to a place where the drumbeats were coming from. When Ji Ling and the others arrived, they were dumbfounded and speechless. There were dozens of large drums here, and a sheep was hanging on each drum. The hind hooves of the sheep were beating the drum non-stop. When everyone saw this, they immediately understood the strange situation in the morning. All the strangeness was due to the arrangements here. It seemed that Zhao Xin had led the army and retreated long ago. When he went to the various battalions to check, he found that there was no time to transport the supplies. Ji Ling was overjoyed and quickly ordered them to be brought back to the city.
Ji Ling saw such a strange thing and did not dare to act on her own. She returned to the city to report to Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, wondering why Zhao Xin had so many tricks up his sleeve.
At this moment, the scout sent by Yuan Shu returned just as Ji Ling left the city. He reported,""My lord, there's no sign of the enemy within thirty miles. "
Yuan Shu was deep in thought when he heard that.
Liang Gang said,"Lord, it seems that Zhao Xin has already retreated. I'm afraid that something big has happened in Runan." "
Ji Ling said,"My lord, we can't let Zhao Xin retreat so easily. This is a rare opportunity. Why don't we take this opportunity to send troops to pursue him?" "
"My lord, General Ji is right. Zhao Xin has repeatedly violated our territory. We must teach him a lesson this time." "
Yuan Shu looked at Liang Gang. Seeing that Liang Gang was nodding his head without saying anything, Yuan Shu made up his mind and said,"Ji Ling, then you can lead ten thousand soldiers to pursue Zhao Xin. However, you can only pursue him for a hundred miles. No matter what happens, you must retreat back into the city! "
Ji Ling replied with a "yes" and dashed out of the manor. She ordered her army horse to chase after him outside the city. He thought to himself, I must let that little brat Zhao Xin know how powerful I, Ji Ling, am. I'll see if he dares to invade my realm again in the future.
After chasing for more than 80 miles, they still couldn't find any traces of Zhao Xin's army. Just as Ji Ling was feeling dejected, the vice-general beside her said,"General, the lord has ordered that our army is only allowed to pursue for a hundred miles. Now that it has been more than eighty miles, are we still going to pursue? Ji Ling said,"Isn't there still twenty li? Pass down my order and speed up the march. We must catch up to Zhao Xin's army today." "
"General," said the deputy general,"most of the soldiers in the army are already exhausted. We shouldn't continue to pursue them." "
"What are you babbling about?" Ji Ling said irritably."Pass down the order quickly. Otherwise, I'll take your head if you delay the important matter!" "
The army traveled another ten miles and arrived at the side of a mountain. Seeing that it was about time, Ji Ling was about to give the order to return when suddenly, a military horse appeared in front of the mountain. The leading general was Pang De. Ji Lingxin cried out in alarm. It seemed that she had fallen into Zhao Xin's trap again. Seeing that the soldiers were tired and no longer had the will to fight, she led the army back. Turning around, he saw a military horse coming out from behind the mountain. The leading general was Dian Wei. Seeing that they were already in a dead end, Ji Ling ordered the troops to fight to the death.
On the other hand, Dian Wei and Pang De each led 10,000 soldiers and horses to lie in ambush here and had been waiting for Yuan Jun for a long time. Seeing Ji Ling arrive with his troops, Dian Wei followed Zhao Xin's instructions and let Yuan Jun pass. When Pang De stopped Yuan Jun, Dian Wei would charge out from behind.
At this moment, Zhao Xin's army had already rested enough and wanted to fight. Dian Wei and Pang De didn't care much, and led their troops to attack Yuan Jun's army.
Just as they were happily killing here, a cannon suddenly rang out. Xu Sheng led three thousand soldiers and horses down the mountain.
The Yuan soldiers looked at each other, their faces pale. They were terrified and no longer had any fighting spirit. Originally, Yuan Jun had rushed for a hundred miles and was already exhausted. Before he could rest for a moment, the Zhao army came. Moreover, the Yuan army was not as strong as the Zhao army. Now that they were surrounded from three sides, the battle was over before they could even eat. The Yuan soldiers surrendered one after another, leaving only Ji Lingyou and her hundred trusted aides to continue the slaughter.
When Dian Wei arrived, he immediately went to fight Ji Ling. When Ji Ling saw Dian Wei, she was already terrified. How could she be his opponent now? In less than ten rounds, he was already powerless. Just as Dian Wei was about to finish off Ji Ling, Pang De arrived and the two of them worked together to capture Ji Ling.
In this battle, the ten thousand Yuan soldiers were completely wiped out. Not a single one of them managed to escape. More than seven thousand of them surrendered, and more than two thousand died. Ji Ling was captured, and Zhao Xin's side suffered extremely little damage.
As soon as Pang De saw that the battle was over, he immediately ordered his men to clean up the battlefield. He stripped off the clothes, armor, and weapons of Yuan's army and gathered them together. He then ordered Xu Sheng to bring some men to deliver them to Zhao Xin. He ordered the soldiers to rest for a while before rushing to Jiujiang.
Zhao Xin received the clothes and armor that Xu Sheng sent over and immediately ordered the soldiers to change into them. He then brought a group of Zhao soldiers who were pretending to be captives to the city gate. It was already midnight when Xu Chu and Zhou Tai arrived at Jiujiang City amidst the army. Seeing the movement outside the city, the city guards immediately lit torches to check.
At this moment, the people outside the city shouted,"General Ji Ling has returned from a great victory against the Zhao army. Open the door quickly!" "
Seeing that the armor belonged to his family and that their accent was similar (Zhao Xin sent some soldiers from Shouchun to call for the city, and Ji Ling also had many Shouchun soldiers under her), they hurriedly ordered people to open the city gates.
Zhao Xin's army rushed into the city and killed Yuan Jun everywhere. Zhao Xin and Hwa Xiong, who were lying in ambush outside the city, immediately charged into the city when they saw that there were more gates.
Ever since Ji Ling left, Yuan Shu had felt that something was wrong and felt uneasy when he returned to his residence. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't think of a reason. Seeing that it was late at night, she went to sleep. Not long after, they heard faint sounds of killing coming from the city. Yuan Shu was startled and quickly sent someone to ask what was going on. After a while, someone came to report that Zhao Xin's army had already entered the city. Yuan Shu sat on his bed in a daze when he heard that. He only came back to his senses after a long while. Knowing that the situation was hopeless, he quickly ordered his men to pack up and prepare to escape to the south gate, where Yuan Shu had already prepared a few boats and hundreds of soldiers.
When Liang Gang heard that someone had come to report Ji Ling's victory over the Zhao army, he pulled that person over and asked. "Have you seen General Ji Ling with your own eyes?" Liang Gang asked. "
"Sir," said the man,"we recognize our own troops, but we have not seen General Ji Ling. "
When Liang Gang heard this, he felt that something was wrong. With Ji Ling's personality, if he won against Zhao Jun, he would probably rush back first. "Did you really see clearly that it was your own army?" he asked in a low voice. "
"Sir," the man said,"we saw that it was our own soldiers 'armor, and the accent was right. "
Liang Gang couldn't be bothered with him anymore and quickly left the mansion to gather some soldiers in the city just in case. As soon as he walked out of the mansion, he heard the loud shouts and killing sounds in the city. He couldn't help but sit down dejectedly, knowing that something bad was going to happen.
At night, Zhao Xin's 20,000-strong army charged into Jiujiang. As they charged into the city, they shouted,""Those who surrender will be spared death! "
The soldiers and horses in the city were in chaos. There was no one to command them. The soldiers either ran for their lives or rushed to the east gate to fight with the enemy.
In the midst of the chaos, Yue led a group of soldiers and horses to meet Xu Chu. Xu Chu led his men to charge at Le Jiu. Xu Chu went to fight Le Jiu. In the third round, Xu Chu killed Le Jiu with a slash. When the people behind Le Jiu saw that Le Jiu was dead, they also scattered and fled in all directions.
The chaotic battle in the city lasted for more than two hours before Dian Wei and Pang De arrived with their troops. How could these Yuan soldiers be their opponents? They either died or surrendered. By the time the sounds of fighting in Tianming City began to fall, the overall situation was already set.
After Yuan Shu packed up everything in the mansion, he brought his trusted aides and family members and fled to the south gate. After leaving the south gate and getting on the boat, Yuan Shu hurriedly ordered the soldiers to set sail. Just as they were about to leave Jiujiang, countless ships with flags flashed out from not far away. One of the ships was the first to arrive, and there was an awe-inspiring battle general standing at the bow of the ship. Seeing this, Yuan Shu was scared out of his wits. It seemed that he would die outside Jiujiang City today.
Jiang Qin, who had been lying in ambush in Jiujiang's waters, received Zhao Xin's secret order and made some preparations. He quickly set off for Jiujiang at the appointed time. Jiang Qin's ship was fast, and soon the navy ships surrounded Yuan Shu's ships.
"Yuan Gonglu, please answer!" Jiang Qin shouted. "
Yuan Shu had hoped that the enemy would not recognize his identity, so he could take advantage of the chaos to escape. Who knew that the enemy general not only knew that he was on the ship, but also specifically asked him to answer.
With the support of the crowd, Yuan Shu walked to the bow of the ship in fear and said to Jiang Qin,"I'm Yuan Shu and Yuan Gonglu. What can I do for you, General? "
Jiang Qin said," My lord has ordered me to pass a message to Governor Yuan. If Governor Yuan is willing to surrender, my lord will naturally treat him well. If he stubbornly refuses to surrender, my lord has ordered me to make Governor Yuan disappear from this world. What do you think, Governor Yuan?" "
Yuan Shu thought to himself that he was now a fish on the chopping block. If he could save his life, he would surrender. Otherwise, he would be buried in the river. After thinking for a moment, he said to Jiang Qin,"Yuan Shu is willing to surrender!" "
"In that case," said Jiang Qin,"please come with me to see the Lord." "Order the soldiers to board Yuan Shu's ship, disembark Yuan Shu's weapons, send someone to watch over everyone, and lead them back to Jiujiang City.
When Liang Gang saw that Zhao Xin's army had already charged into the city, he knew that the situation was not good. He quickly returned to the residence and fled west with his family in disguise. Fortunately, Liang Gang saw the situation and was extremely fast. When he rushed to the west gate, Zhao Xin's army had yet to arrive. He shouted for the city gate to be opened and fled.
