Han Dang was killed by a twelve-year-old boy in the fifteenth round. The Jiangdong soldiers who were watching could not believe their eyes. Only Lu Meng swallowed his saliva after looking at it and quickly turned the horse's head: "Drive! Drive! Drive!"

At this time, there were only a few dozen troops around Lu Meng, and Han Dang, the most capable fighter, died so quickly, so he immediately made the decision to flee.

A change in the direction of the wind is like a landslide.

The soldiers who reacted slowly were knocked down by Lan Ji's halberd. The remaining soldiers hated their parents for having two legs, and whipped the horse's buttocks wildly with the whip in their hands.

Lan Ji led the young soldiers to charge for a while, and did not pursue them very far before returning to Jiangling with the others. To say that Lan Ji had left a deep impression on these young men by killing the captured soldiers, and the killing of General Jiangdong just now was even more impressive, with prestige and trust.

It took root in the hearts of young people.

As soon as the west gate of Jiangling was closed, Guan Xing came down from the city to congratulate him personally.

"Zhong Ling, you are so good. Why didn't you chase him farther away just now?" Guan Xing asked, patting Lan Ji on the shoulder.

Lan Ji shook his head and replied: "There are tens of thousands of Jiangdong soldiers outside the city. I'm worried that something will happen if we chase far away. Coupled with the rumors in the last arrow book, the people in the city are now uneasy. There must be enough soldiers and horses to control the city.

Even if a general is victorious, he cannot leave the city easily."

"The words of the common man from Jiangdong are ridiculous. It's a pity that everyone has read the Yangtze River News too much these days. They all know what Sun Quan is like. How can anyone believe what the rat says? But it would be nice to kill that old man." Guan Xing said happily.

"The old man is barking like a dog in the sun. He actually doesn't have much ability. If I hadn't wanted to accumulate some battle experience, I could have killed him within ten rounds." Lan Ji looked a little proud.

Guan Xing smiled and said: "I know you are great, but the second oldest is pretty good, just like my father, Zhong Ling, you, and myself..."

"I really have you." Lan Ji shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Zhong Ling just killed the enemy general, do you think the Jiangdong rats will take revenge?" Guan Xing asked.

"I think so. Let's work hard to defend the city these days and keep a close eye on the prisoners, otherwise the rebellion will be doomed." Lan Ji reminded.

Guan Xing nodded, "If you don't tell me, I will pay attention. No matter where you are, force is advocated. Zhong Ling's performance just now is enough to suppress them. I will send someone to report the victory to General Xiang. Do you want to arrange a celebration banquet?"

?”

"Don't be ridiculous, fight off Lu Meng first." Lan Ji frowned.

"Hahaha, I was joking with you." Guan Xing smiled and left.

After Lu Meng escaped back to the camp, his mood could not calm down for a long time. Thinking of his bold words in Jiangxia, his face felt hot. The rest of the way should be smooth, right? Why was it so difficult for me to fight this way? Jiangling collapsed before it was defeated.

Got Handang.

As long as Jiangling can be captured and cooperated with Pan Zhang and Zhu Ran to capture Guan Yu, all the sacrifices will be worth it. Lu Meng stood up and became determined again. He thought that he had an absolute advantage in terms of strength and continued to attack if his tactics failed.

Zhou Yu couldn't capture Xiangyang back then, how could I, Lü Meng, still be unable to capture Jiangling? It's only been ten days now, I can definitely change my fate against the odds.

Lu Meng was like a salesman hypnotizing himself in front of the mirror. He kept looking for reasons to motivate and encourage himself, and finally his worry about gains and losses was taken over by determination.

"When it's completely dark outside, find someone to carry the body of General Han back." Lu Meng called to personally follow the instructions. After he escaped from the west gate in the afternoon, he strictly ordered those who survived not to reveal what happened just now, and used the excuse that Han Dang

He was sent to seize Yidu.

"It's not easy to hide the old general's body. If it's left in the camp, it will be discovered sooner or later. Why not send a boat back to Jianye for burial?" I suggested.

Lu Meng frowned and shook his head, "Let's bury him near the camp later, and send him back to Jiangdong to make my lord sad..."

"Wei." He responded with clasped fists, but did not leave immediately.

Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, Lu Meng asked doubtfully: "Is there anything else?"

"Uh... it was General Fu who persuaded him to surrender..." he hesitated to speak.

"After all, he is an incompetent person. I have just heard that. I have decided to continue the attack on the city from tomorrow. After I break the city, I will naturally send Xiang Xun and Lan Ji to skin and cramps." Lu Meng showed a gloomy expression.

"Xiang Xun once gave General Fu advice..."

"What's the suggestion?"

"Assassinating a general is a waste of merit..."

Lu Meng snorted coldly: "Just him? He doesn't have the courage. I will definitely kill him."

Han Dang's body was secretly carried back to the camp, and Lu Mengtu conveniently buried him in the southwest corner of the camp. Although their actions were very secretive, their whereabouts were already known by interested parties. Fu Shiren, who had been awake all night with worries, lifted up a corner of the tent and went outside.

Looking around, I discovered Lu Meng's sneaky followers.

What tricks was Lu Meng doing when he didn't sleep at night? Fu Shiren didn't dare to follow him and planned to find out more when he had time.

He made up his mind to attack by force. In the following time, Jiangdong soldiers and horses attacked the city fiercely. In order to seize the city as soon as possible, Lu Meng urged the army to bite the enemy like a mad dog regardless of the cost.

Lu Meng suddenly changed his style of play, making it very painful for the defender Xiang Xun to deal with, and the attrition in the war continued to increase. In order to consolidate the hard-won situation, Xiang Xun asked Lan Ji for prisoners to help defend the city.

The Jiangling City defenders showed great tenacity. Although they kept repelling Jiangdong's attacks, the price was the rapid consumption of military supplies.

The second round of fierce attacks outside the city lasted for seven or eight days. By that time, the city's reserve of feather arrows had been used up. Because the city gate was blocked and raw materials could not be entered, the idle military workshops in the city passively stopped manufacturing, and the stones and rolling logs that could be transported were also

After this period of time was exhausted, the soldiers simply relied on hand-to-hand combat to defeat the enemy, thus losing their condescending advantage.

Lü Meng's forceful attack regardless of losses, the price paid was the lives of the soldiers. They piled people crazily on the city wall, and more than ten thousand Jiangdong children died under the city wall. The fierce battle turned them into humble dust.

The battered corpses were bloody and bloody. From time to time, gold juice was poured over the city walls. The lit torches and wood were used as weapons to defeat the enemy. There was not even an independent burial ground for these unknown people who died in battle.

At a critical moment both inside and outside Jiangling City, Xiangxun, the representative of the Xiang clan who stayed in Jingzhou, reached a consensus with the Ma clan, represented by Ma Liang, the director of the Changjiang Newspaper.

Two wealthy families in Jingzhou took the initiative to demolish their houses, and then took away the bricks, stones, and wood from the ruins to use as military supplies. The people were deeply affected by this, and they donated materials one after another to fight against foreign enemies.

Lu Meng's continuous strong attack had already given him hope of destroying the city, but the sudden rebound made him doubt his life.

One midnight, the soldiers in the camp were already asleep due to exhaustion, but Lu Meng was staring at the tent door curtain because he was worried. Suddenly he saw a black figure running past the curtain in the moonlight.
