The partial generals who stayed on the city wall saw the movements of the Jingzhou army and did not know that they were dividing their troops to surround the remaining city gates.
Although I was anxious in my heart, I could only watch without any solution, and I was also a little confused about the actions of the Jingzhou Army.
The Jingzhou Army who was left one mile from the city gate, except for some soldiers holding long spears, stood upright.
Most of the soldiers in front and behind were slumped on the ground casually.
He has no intention of attacking the city immediately, but this is not something he needs to consider.
What he cares about is whether he can save his life.
At this time.
At the stairs of the city wall, there was a general, holding a sword in his hand, and walked over quickly.
There were several people behind him, including the general who had left to report.
"General Han" The general who was staying on the city wall quickly bowed his hands when he saw the general who was leading him.
The person who came was none other than Sun Jian's old subordinate Han Dang, named Yigong.
After Sun Ce returned to Jiangdong, he recalled the four generals of Sun Jian's old subordinate.
Zu Mao, who died when he came out, and the other three were all under Sun Ce's command.
Sun Ce also knew the importance of Jiangxia, so he left Han Dang as the main defender of Jiangxia City.
"How's the situation?"
Han Dang asked.
He also looked outside the city.
He had received a report from another general and knew that Liu Qi was personally leading the army, so he hurried from the mansion and asked people to mobilize troops, thinking that Liu Qi had already started.
Attack the city, but there is no movement.
"General Huihan, there are two generals in the Jingzhou army.
They each led their troops to the north and south city gates.
They should be trying to surround our army in the city, and the army in front of them has made no movement."
Will report.
Han Dang became calm and looked at the Jingzhou Army who was casually sitting on the ground to rest.
His eyes flashed.
He felt that the reason why Liu Qi did not attack the city immediately was probably because of exhaustion.
He also has the idea of leading his army out of the city to rush to kill, but he can think of it, and Liu Qi will definitely think of it, and will definitely be prepared.
Once he leaves the city, he is very likely to be in trouble, and Jiangxia City will give up, but even if he stays in the city, It may not be possible to hold it.
After all, there are only 5,000 soldiers and horses, and they have to be dispersed to the major city gates.
"General Han, how should we respond?"
asked a general.
As soon as these words came out, everyone else's eyes were focused on Han Dang, and Han Dang was brought back from his thoughts.
"Let the soldiers prepare for battle.
After all, we don't know when the enemy will attack the city, and send people to the other city gates to check," Han Dang said.
They cannot leave the city in case they fall into the trap, so they can only defend the city and wait for the Jingzhou Army to launch an attack.
"Nuo" said the generals with their hands in hand.
Han Dang also made some arrangements, and stood by the city wall looking out of the city.
Now even if he sent people back to Jiangdong to ask for reinforcements, it would be too late, and Liu Qi would not wait for the reinforcements to arrive.
It was with this in mind that Liu Qi chose to march at night.
Even if there was a detection report in Jingzhou City, it would be impossible to report it when the city gate was closed, so there would be a time difference.
Time passed little by little, and the time for three sticks of incense set by Liu Qi had also arrived.
Han Dang and others on the city wall saw the Jingzhou army who had been lying casually on the ground stood up from the ground and lined up in an orderly manner.
And they also saw hundreds of soldiers coming out from the other side, carrying siege ladders, and returning to the army.
Han Dang looked at the hundreds of Jingzhou troops carrying ladders.
He didn't know what Liu Qi was waiting for, but he had no choice.

If he went out of the city to fight, he might be defeated even faster.
Liu Qi didn't know what Han Dang and others were thinking.
After the army had rested and assembled, he waved his hand and rode towards Jiangxia City. brush The soldiers behind him also marched towards Jiangxia City with neat steps behind Liu Qi.
Nine hundred meters.
Eight hundred meters.
Six hundred meters.
Five hundred meters. appeal Liu Qi grabbed the horse and stopped some distance away from the city gate, but was not within shooting range of the archers on the city wall. brush The Jingzhou Army also stopped instantly.
"General Han, long time no see" Liu Qi looked at Han Dang on the city wall and said with cupped hands.
Sure enough, it was Liu Qi himself.
Han Dang, who was beside the city wall, also recognized Liu Qi.
They had met him in the alliance of princes, and it was Liu Qi who rescued Sun Jian at that time.
He handed over his hand and said: "Master Liu, I don't know how to lead troops to my lord's territory."
"What happened?"
"Haha, General Han, you said that Jiangxia City is your main territory."
Liu Qi's tone changed and he shouted: "Jiangxia is my territory in Jingzhou.
You are taking advantage of the changes in my Jingzhou to secretly seize Jiangxia City and kill my Jingzhou generals.
Look.
For the sake of your original owner, withdraw your troops now to avoid a battle, otherwise don’t blame me for being ruthless."
Han Dang was stunned for a moment.
What Liu Qi said was true, but in the Central Plains today, who would tell you this?
He handed over his hands and said: "Young Master Liu was kind to my former master.
My father also shot my former master and stopped arrears.
If Mr.
Liu wants me to hand over Jiangxia City like this, it will never be possible."
"In this case, there is only one battle."
Liu Qi didn't say anything more.
After all, he didn't want to take over Jiangxia City with just a few words.
A battle was inevitable.
Lifting the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Spear on horseback, he pointed at the city wall and shouted: "Beat the drum, attack the city."
Boom, boom, boom The thick and shirtless soldier next to the war drum took out his mallet and beat the war drum rhythmically.
"kill" Dian Wei drank a lot and then rode out.
"Kill kill kill" Half of the remaining ten thousand soldiers followed Dian Wei and rushed towards Jiangxia City.
Among them were some soldiers carrying shields in one hand and ladders in the other.
The sound of war drums and shouts of death also represents the beginning of the battle.
"Fire the arrow," Han Dang shouted.
He also knew that this battle was inevitable, and when the Jingzhou Army launched a charge, he also prepared the archers on the city wall.
When the Jingzhou army entered the shooting range, they did not hesitate and ordered the archers to counterattack.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh Sharp arrows gathered in the air, forming a rain of arrows, and then fell towards the Jingzhou army charging outside the city. ah Screams rang out one after another, and the dense rain of arrows also caused damage to the charging Jingzhou army.
Sharp arrows penetrated the bodies of the soldiers, bringing up bloody flowers.
And every blood flower almost represents a life.
"Archers come forward," Liu Qi shouted.
More than a thousand of the remaining soldiers came out instantly, squatted down, nocked arrows and drew their bows.
"shoot arrows" Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh Sharp arrows flew out from the military formation and shot towards the wall of Jiangxia City to cover the attacking soldiers, just to reduce losses
