?Wuchang City, the prefect Fan Liang was patrolling the city in armor. Since the Zhou army in Bazhou, Jiangbei crossed the south to attack, it has been siege and not attacking Wuchang. This made Fan Liang breathe a sigh of relief and was even more worried.????

`

Until now, except for the scattered casualties caused by the Zhou army's battle for the East Gate and the blockade outside the city, Wuchang defenders have spent several days without any danger. Although there will be no casualties without a war, it is always uneasy to wait like this.

The Zhou army was coming in a fierce manner, so Wuchang rescued the reinforcements from Yongxing to the west and Xiakou further to the west. In theory, these troops who had arrived had not appeared so far, but what was relieved was that the reinforcements from Yangxin to the east were already confronting the Zhou army in the eastern suburbs, so Fan Liang was a little relieved.

The reinforcements must have come, but they encountered obstacles near Fankou. The one who blocked them must have been the Zhou army that captured Fankou. It was precisely this way that the Wuchang navy was unable to pass through Fankou and enter the river to intercept Zhou army warships.

Fan Liang was not worried about the situation in Fankou. The garrison on Fanshan had not issued a warning signal so far. Although it was impossible to send people to Fanshan to contact him because he was blocked by the Zhou army in the west of the city, there were 600 defenders in Fanshan who guarded the rugged mountain road and would not be so easy to lose.

After thinking about it, I felt that Wuchang City could still be at least a few days old. Fan Liang also walked to the southwest corner. Now Wuchang is strictly guarding and the Zhou army can only climb the city if they want to attack. But outside the city, there are no other siege equipment except for the lonely watchtowers.

"Mingfu, the Zhou army must have wanted to repel reinforcements before siege the city." A general said, and the others next to him nodded in agreement. After being on duty for several days, they saw that the Zhou army had no intention of siege, and they guessed that the other party had to wait until they could repel their reinforcements before they could take action.

"The reinforcements... there are three thousand in Yongxing. Xiakou will send five thousand in Xiakou. Plus the garrison in Fankou... is enough."

"So they gathered together to defeat the Zhou army in the west and could come over to rescue the siege!"

"Mingfu!! Something happened on the other side of the river!" A soldier shouted and ran over. After hearing him panting, Fan Liang got the latest battle situation: There were many Zhou army warships heading towards Jiangbei in Fankou, and they were all loaded. It seemed that they were transporting people to retreat.??.

`

Because Fanshan blocked it, Wuchang City could not see the situation of Fankou opposite the mountain. However, based on this sign, it seemed that reinforcements had won. A moment later, the beacon tower on Fanshan sent a signal that the reinforcements had arrived. After getting this news, the defenders were overjoyed and waited for the reinforcements to arrive.

Sure enough, half an hour later, dust was flying on the official road on the southern foot of Fanshan Mountain in the western suburbs of Wuchang. A group of Zhou army cavalry fled east in a mess. After that, a large group of cavalry chased after him. The sentry at the city head looked to find that the pursuers were fighting against the Chen army flag.

"It's reinforcements, it's reinforcements here!!"

The soldiers were happy when they heard this, but the prefect Fan Liang, who rushed over, frowned. It seemed that reinforcements had lifted the siege of Fankou and chased the remnants of Zhou's army. Everything was taken for granted, so he had to be more cautious.

If it was a scene of Zhou's military exercise, he came to trick the Wuchang defenders into opening the city gate to attack, it would be troublesome!

"No one is allowed to leave the city without the orders of my officer. Wait... the reinforcements drove away the Zhou army in the east!!"

"No one is allowed to open the city gate!!"

Fan Liang decided to wait and see if he really fell into the Zhou army's deceitful defeat and everything was over. Under his command, the Wuchang defenders calmed down and thought of leaving the city to support the fallen dog and also disappeared.

I have been guarding for a few days, don’t cheat people at critical moments. If reinforcements are really the ones, they will naturally chase them all the way to the Zhou army camps in the east. Anyway, everyone can just watch the fun in the city. If the other party is in a hurry to enter the city... It basically means that it is the reinforcements pretended to be Zhou's army.

The defenders on Fanshan garrison sent out a signal that reinforcements had arrived, which may be a misunderstanding. They looked at the foot of the mountain and could only see the flag to distinguish them. If they were to take advantage of the situation, they might not be able to figure it out.

The chase and rush on the official road gradually approached Wuchang City. The defenders on the city also focused on looking at them to see if something was wrong with each other, but what made them relieved was that both sides were passing through the south of the city. The cavalry chasing behind did not turn over and demanded to enter the city, but just sent several cavalry to approach the city gate and shouted that they were ordered to support the Xiakou reinforcements in Wuchang.????

"I'm working hard! The city gate has been blocked and our army cannot leave the city for a while!!" Fan Liang poked his head out of the city wall and shouted. He was very careful in order to prevent the other party from firing cold arrows.

The messenger nodded without saying anything and turned his head to gallop towards the large army. Fan Liang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as he fled in front of him and chased him eastward. It was not that he was too concerned but that it was because of the safety of Wuchang and he couldn't help but be careful.

The fleeing Zhou army ran straight to the Zhou army camp in the eastern suburbs, and the cavalry that chased outside the camp kept swimming, as if to prevent the Zhou army in the village from escaping.

Just as the defenders were paying attention to the east, a large number of infantrymen came from the official road to the west. The armor was scarred and blood-stained. It seemed that they had just passed a big battle. When they passed the south gate of Wuchang, they also sent commanders to the city gate to report that it was Xiakou and Yongxing reinforcements.

Fan Liang still said that the city gate was blocked and could not attack and assist in the battle for the time being. The other party did not ask for entry to the city but returned to the large army to report. He was completely relieved when he saw no one entering the city in a hurry.

Several people ran to the city. Fan Liang looked carefully and saw that one of them turned out to be an acquaintance - Lu Xiulin, a survivor of the Lu family in Bazhou. One of them was on the top of the city and the other was talking to each other under the city for a while. Fan Liang figured out the situation.

Fankou was indeed attacked by the Zhou army. When the Wuchang naval warships moored in Fanhu were about to enter the river from Fankou along Fanhu, they were blocked from the river. The fleet was blocked by fire and was attacked by fire on the shore. The Zhou army was setting rockets on the shore.

The fire grew bigger and bigger. The soldiers of the navy were unable to move forward and retreat and had to jump ship to escape. Lu Xiulin finally escaped to the shore but was chased by the Zhou army and was running away by the official army who arrived at the desperate situation. They gathered reinforcements from Yongxing and Xiakou and lifted the siege of Fankou.

Now he followed the official army and was about to do his best to pull out the Zhou army camp in the eastern suburbs of Wuchang. Seeing Fan Liang being very cautious and not opening the city gate, he said loudly: "Mingfu! Zhou warships are receiving the Zhou army on the south bank and fleeing north, and the army is about to chase and fight..."

Before Lu Xiulin finished speaking, he heard the drums of the Zhou army camp in the east rising and facing the east. Chen army was also starting to stir up. Fan Liang looked over and saw a faint waving of Chen army flags and then heard the drums sounding, as if they were preparing for battle.

Many Zhou army warships leaned against the river and jumped off the soldiers and rushed towards the camp. Seeing the shouts that shook the sky and seemed to be fighting hot, the cavalry who had been surrounded had sent people to say that the enemy commander was about to escape.

"It seems that some Yuwen Envoy... Our army and Yangxin reinforcements can't stop them!"

Hearing this, the infantry outside the city began to move eastward. Seeing this, Lu Xiulin also shouted with a strong voice: "Mingfu quickly send troops to help the battle, don't let Yuwen Wen run away!!"

Seeing the emergency situation in the east, Fan Liang ordered an attack. The matter was already very obvious: reinforcements were indeed coming. Besides, since Lu Xiulin was here, it would be even more certain.

At the beginning of the year, Lu Xiulin threw hundreds of acres of fertile land into his name, so he knew very well about its situation: At the beginning of the year, the people of Lu Xiulin were almost killed by the governor Yuwen Wen in Bazhou opposite the river, so it was impossible to be an internal agent of the Zhou army with different revenge.

The Wuchang city gate was blocked, but Fan Liang had already asked the soldiers to clear the barrier of the south gate at any time, but he had just claimed that it could not be opened. Seeing that the battle situation is urgent, he also thought about it.

The only possible result is that the commander was Yuwen, the governor of Bazhou, Yuwen Wen. Fan Liang decided to add a piece of fire to the victory of the army and capture the commander of Zhou.

It would be amazing if Yuwen Wen could be captured alive. This "one-legged Bronze Man" is the second son of Yuwen Liang, a major businessman in the southeastern road of Zhou. If he grabbed it in his hand, the other party would be afraid of being able to protect the border between Chen for several years.

After receiving the order from Shangguan, the Wuchang defenders quickly opened the south gate, and the cavalry rushed out first and the infantry rushed out to the east.

The reinforcements outside the city blew up their trumpets when they saw the defenders attacking and cheered for their comrades in front of them. A moment later, there was a tide of cheers from the Zhou army camp. Among them, the flag of Zhou was pulled out and replaced with the battle flag of Chen.

A messenger rushed over from there and said that he had already broken through the Zhou army camp and captured the opponent's commander Yu Wenwen. He heard the shocking news that everyone present was very happy, and the reinforcements from outside the city also stopped moving eastward and leaned towards the city gate.

Fan Liang had already led the soldiers from the south gate to the outside of the city. He watched a group of cavalry coming from the Zhou army camp in the east with longing and thinking about how to laugh at the tone if he saw the infamous "Yuwen Evil Wolf".

Lu Xiulin stood aside with his fists clenched tightly. The evil thief who killed all the Lu clans was captured alive. If he could, he really wanted to kill his enemy, but unfortunately he couldn't do it. Even the governor of Yingzhou could not make the decision. The emperor of Chen could only decide the life of this villain.

Thinking about the ridiculous "Decisive Battle at the Top of the Sunset" is nothing more than the excuse of Yuwen Wen's killing Chen Shuling without authorization. Lu Xiulin had the idea of ​​drawing his sword when the soldiers came over to him and beheading him as his father. His younger brothers and tribesmen also avenge him, but after the passion came, he woke up and knew that he could not do this.

If he does this, he will be angry and become nothing. Without the protection of King Chen Shuling of Shixing, he is like walking on thin ice. Now he has finally surrendered to the prefect of Wuchang. If he makes the Chen court exert his power because of his own intent, then as the only hope of revival of the Lu family, he will be knocked down to the bottom and cannot turn over.

If you can't do it, you can talk so much. Lu Xiulin decided to use the most vicious words to curse Yuwen Wen's "this guy" to make him feel bloody. He wanted to see the other party's embarrassing appearance to see how panicked he was.

Haven't you made up a decisive battle at the top of Xiyang? Then I'll make up a story about a decisive battle at the top of Wuchang so that everyone knows how you were defeated under Wuchang City and how you shamelessly beg for mercy to save your life!

The reinforcements had already arrived at the south gate. Generals threw whips and dismounted and led the people forward. Fan Liang put out his armor and went up to meet them, and Lu Xiulin followed closely behind. The generals who led the troops had a good talk with him, so they wanted to act as the role of introducing people.

Yuwen Wen was finished and his revenge could not be avenged, but it was also considered avenging. Now he has to consider his future for the future development of the Lu family. Lu Xiulin should try his best to establish a relationship with the Yingzhou generals and find more backers.

"General Liang, this is the prefect of Wuchang Fan Ming's Mansion..." Lu Xiulin squeezed out a smile and introduced. The general in front of him was surnamed Liang, and he admired his performance of taking the initiative to lead the way to participate in the war. He decided to develop a good 'relationship' between the two sides in depth.
