Chapter 38

On the evening of summer, the weather is still a bit stuffy, but fortunately, gusts of evening breeze blow from time to time, which makes people feel too unbearable.

Standing long on the head of the east city of Moling, I quietly stared at the wilderness of the suburbs immersed in the night, listening to the cicadas and frogs, my heart was empty. I was neither nervous nor excited about the upcoming battle, and I felt a little uneasy. Perhaps it was because I had experienced too many battles and was a little numb! In short, "I" came to this era of frequent wars and heroes, and it had been more than a year since I came to this era of frequent wars and heroes. During this period, I seemed to have never stopped fighting, from the ancient city to Runan, from Runan to Shouchun, and then marched into Lujiang, and now I have fought Jiangdong. Who knows where I will fight in the future... After "becoming" Zhang Fei, war has become my inevitable destiny!

On the battlefield, you will lose the excitement and shock when you experience more. For me now, fighting is even more a mission and a responsibility!

"Huh~~!" I suppressed the emotion in my heart, and I took my attention back, let out a long breath, and adjusted my physical condition through my breathing.

"Tao tram..." With a burst of rapid footsteps, Liao Hua also went up to the city tower, came to my side for a few steps, and said in a deep voice: "General, the soldiers sent to Wanling, the soldiers from Jingxian have just returned to the city from the south gate. According to their reports, the defenders of these two places have also been dispatched and will arrive in Moling approximately tomorrow morning!"

"Well~~!" I nodded slightly, and a faint smile appeared on my face. The last two messengers had also returned. So far, the plan was going very smoothly - the garrisons of the cities and counties under Danyang had basically been "mobilized" to come to Moling. What we have to do next is to use the time difference to eliminate these "reinforcements" one by one. While waiting for work and I was willing to fight the enemy without preparation, it can be said that it is a breeze to use the ambush inside and outside the city to complete the task of annihilation of the enemy. After my careful calculation and arrangement, the Jiangdong army that "comes to help" Moling will be divided into three groups, and each group of reinforcements will be approximately two hours apart. Therefore, our army only needs to end the previous battle within one hour to clean up the battlefield a little, and let the soldiers get some rest to prepare for the next battle.

After experiencing three battles within six hours, it seems very hard, but in fact it is not. According to the military intelligence of Danyang County confessed by the captured Wu Jingqian, among the three reinforcements, the first of the three reinforcements, namely the defenders of Nanxu and Liyang, has a slightly stronger military strength, with a total force of about 5,000, and the other two reinforcements are at most about 2,000. Moreover, six or seven of these Jiangdong troops recruited less than half a month, and the most basic training of the company has not been completed, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined. Therefore, although the enemy and our troops are equal in this battle, I can say with certainty that our army's chances of winning can reach 99%!

"Yuan Jian, are you ready there?" I turned around and asked Liao Hua in harmony.

"Don't worry, General! He has received the reward just now, General Wei has already ambushed and put in his position. As soon as the signal is issued here, he will lead the army from the enemy's side and attack!" Liao Hua replied quickly.

"Yeah!" I nodded, responded lightly, and then turned my gaze to the wilderness outside the city.

Everything is ready, and now all you can do is wait...

……………………………………

About 8 miles east of Moling City, an army of more than 3,000 people were advancing along the official road towards Moling City. Due to the deep night and the sky was dark, the sky was dark and unclear. The soldiers who were moving were holding torches in their hands, and the fire stretched for hundreds of steps. From a distance, they looked like a swimming fire dragon.

"Quick, fast! Speed ​​up..." At the forefront of the team, Dong Xi rode his horse and stood up, and was anxious and urged his soldiers to speed up the march.

Because the military strength in Moling City is limited, and many soldiers are still recruiting new soldiers. Therefore, if they are besieged by the enemy, it is difficult to predict how long it can last. If Moling falls, Danyang County will lose an important defensive barrier. But... this is still secondary. What makes Dong Xi even more concerned is that the county magistrate Wu Jing was also in Moling City at this time. Wu Jing is not only the prefect of Danyang County, but also Dong Xi's direct superior, but also another more important identity - Sun Quan's uncle! If Wu Jing makes any mistakes due to the failure of rescue, Dong Xi will not dare to imagine what punishment he will be.

Therefore, in order to avoid accidents, Dong Xi could only urge the soldiers to speed up the marching.

"Sir, there is fire in the southwest, and there seems to be a team marching!" A personal soldier next to Dong Xi suddenly spoke and reminded.

"What?" Dong Ximu turned around, raised his eyes and looked in the direction pointed by his personal soldiers. Through the dense bushes beside the passage, he could see a vague ignition of ignition light moving quickly.

"It seems that there should be 2,000 people! Are they his own army or enemies?" Dong Xi quickly took a few steps forward, pushed the bushes away, and made his vision clearer. Then he simply estimated the number of people based on the firelight.

"Be prepared for the challenge!"

"Accelerate and lean towards the team ahead!"

After hesitating for a moment, Dong Xi shouted loudly to the soldiers behind him, then rode his horse and rushed towards the southwest first.

At this time, the team in the southwest seemed to have discovered something unusual and gradually stopped moving forward. After a while, they turned around and slowly came to Dong Xijun.

Soon, the two armies were less than a hundred steps apart. Through the faint firelight, Dong Xi could vaguely see that the other party was wearing his own clothes and armor. In order to confirm the situation, he hurriedly shouted: "I am Dong Xi, the captain of Weiyue, whose team is ahead?"

The leader of the team opposite was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand to signal the team behind him to stop moving forward, and then rode his horse alone towards Dong Xi, responding loudly: "Brother Yuan (Dong Xi's name) is a dynasty, I am He Jing!"

"It's Gonghe (He Jing's name)!" At this time, Dong Xi also recognized that the other party was indeed He Jing, the deputy military captain who was guarding Liyang. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly met him.

"Brother Yuan Dynasty also received the emergency document from the prefect!" After the two war horses met, He Jing bowed to Dong Xi slightly and asked anxiously.

"Not bad!" Dong Xi nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Liu Bei, this shameless guy, actually took advantage of the situation where the governor's army was fighting against the Jingzhou army and sent troops across the river and offended my Jiangdong! It's really hateful!"

"Yes!" He Jing nodded and said with concern: "I wonder how many military horses Liu Bei has sent over? If there are only ten thousand people, with the military strength of our Danyang County, it is possible to resist it. If there are two or three thousand people, the situation may be very bad!"

"Damn! No matter how many people he is, as long as he dares to step into the land of Jiangdong, he will be told that he will never come back!" Dong Xi snorted coldly and said hatefully, "If the governor's army had not been entangled by the Jingzhou army, how could Liu Bei be so arrogant!"

"I don't know when the governor will repel the Jingzhou army? By that time, it's time to calculate the accounts with Liu Bei!" He Jing also said with gritted teeth, "Brother Yuan Dynasty, how many troops have you brought back to Moling?"

"3,000 people! These are all the people I can mobilize. Now there are less than 200 left-behind soldiers in Nanxu City!" Dong Xi said in a deep voice: "Ponghe, how many people do you have here?"

"2,100 people! They are also all the defenders in Liyang!"

"Our two groups of people, coupled with the existing defenders in Moling, can also gather more than 7,000 people. It should be no problem to defend Moling!" Dong Xi nodded with a solemn expression.

"Oh~~!" He Jing sighed and said, "I wonder why Lord Ziheng's river patrol naval army failed to intercept Liu Bei's army across the river? Otherwise..."

"It's impossible for Lord Ziheng to block every place in such a long river!" Dong Xi said helplessly, "Ponghe, it's not the time to speak now. Let's continue to rush to Moling as soon as possible! Never let Moling make any mistakes!"

"Brother Yuan Dai is right. It's important to continue rushing. It's been delayed for some time!"

Under Dong Xi and He Jing's order, the two troops quickly joined forces and set off again toward Moling.

After half an hour, more than 5,000 Jiangdong Army finally rushed outside the East City Gate of Moling in panting. Since more than half of the soldiers were recruited for less than half a month, they had not undergone strict training at all. After the marching, the army was no longer in formation. After rushing for nearly 4 hours in a row, most of the soldiers were exhausted and felt unhappy. Some soldiers immediately relaxed and sat down on the ground when they saw that they had arrived at their destination.

"Hu~!" Seeing the familiar dark red "Sun" battle flag floating on the top of the city wall, and the soldiers patrolling the city wall were also his own soldiers, He Jing breathed a sigh of relief and said to Dong Xi beside him: "Brother Yuan Dynasty, Liu Bei's army seems to have not yet attacked Moling!"

"Yeah!" Dong Xi had already seen the situation at the top of the city and felt relieved. But then he noticed that some soldiers behind him were actually slumped on the ground. He couldn't help but frown deeply, his face darkened, and he turned his horse's head and scolded sternly: "Get up for me, what's the loose look like! After entering the city, let's rest!"

Hearing Dong Xi's order, the commander of the army, the army Sima hurriedly shouted the soldiers who were sitting on the ground to stand up.

"Hmph~! These new recruits!" Dong Xi hummed in dissatisfaction.

"Is the army and horses under the city?"

At this time, the patrol soldiers were inquiring from the city gate tower.

Dong Xi sent his horse to the moat, and raised his head to the city tower and said, "It's the army of Nanxu and Liyang, who came to help Moling on the order of the prefect! I am Dong Xi, the Weiyue Captain Dong Xi!" Then he pointed to He Jing beside him, "This is the Captain He Jing from Liyang. Open the city gate quickly and let us enter the city!"

There was a noise coming from the city tower, as if the guards were discussing something. After a while, the person who was still asking was still shouting loudly at the city: "Should wait for a moment, we will open the city now!"

"Yeah!" Dong Xi replied impatiently: "Move faster!"

"Click!" The hanging suspension bridge was put down, and then the thick city gate was slowly pushed open with a "crunch" sound.

"Enter the city!" Dong Xi raised the big knife in his hand, shouted loudly, took the lead in riding a horse onto the suspension bridge, and rushed into the city. He Jing and more than 5,000 Jiangdong soldiers also followed Dong Xi and slowly advanced into Moling City.

"Uh~!" As soon as he entered the city, Dong Xi, who was already calm, was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him and was completely stunned. On the central avenue leading directly to the east and west gates of Moling City, thousands of soldiers were dressed in armor, holding various weapons, lined up in neat rows, waiting for the Jiangdong Army entering the city in a tight position. What shocked Dong Xi even more was that the armor worn by these soldiers was completely different from the standard armor of the Jiangdong Army.

The city was clearly marked by his own people and the Jiangdong battle flag was planted. Why did he see other soldiers and horses when he entered the city? Dong Xi was completely confused and stared at the military horses in front of him!

"Brother Yuan Dynasty, what's wrong with you?" He Jing also entered the city. Seeing Dong Xizhuma staring straight ahead, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

At this moment, a thunderous shout answered He Jing's question for Dong Xi.

"kill!"

With this angry shout, arrows suddenly fell like rain on the top of the city. Arrowmen appeared and quickly drew their arrows, pouring deadly arrows at the Jiangdong soldiers lined up in dense formations and preparing to enter the city without any aim.

At this time, the enemy soldiers who were neatly lined up in the streets of the city and were ready to attack.

Had he been trapped? Could it be that Moling had been captured by Liu Bei's army? Dong Xi, who was awakened by the angrily shouted and shouted at everything that suddenly appeared in front of him, and countless questions quickly flashed in his mind. But then, the screams of his own soldiers outside the city and the horrifying roars and killings of enemy soldiers in the city turned Dong Xi's questions into one thought.

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Dong Xi shouted wildly.

"Swoosh!" An arrow shot up into the sky with a shrill whistle.
