On the first day of June, the Guanzhong soldiers, Liangzhou horses and Bingzhou cavalry, more than 50,000 soldiers and cavalrymen from the Five Reuns were joined on time in Xiangyang. The next day, the right prime minister Dou Rong also arrived with 40,000 Sanhe soldiers, and the three parties had a total of 100,000 people.

Because the road encountered sudden rain, the Hebei soldiers, Yuzhou soldiers, Yanzhou soldiers and other 100,000 troops failed to arrive in time, so the Fifth Lun appointed Wan Xiu as the temporary commander of the front-line enemy.

Wan Xiu, who had been recuperating for many years, stepped onto the battlefield again today and felt reborn.

When the army gathered at Lankou, he observed the brand new city through a thousand-mile mirror and compared the pattern of the city walls taken from Xiangyang. This city was originally built by Cen Peng, but now it has fallen into the opponent and has become an obstacle to blocking the fifth reunion's southward movement. Is it considered shooting himself in the foot?

Of course not, because since a year ago, Di Wulun had exchanged letters with Cen Peng and planned the plan for Jiang Han. At that time, he expected Cen Peng to attack Jiangling and attract Liu Xiu's main force to Jianghan, and then pretended to be defeated and lured the enemy in order to fight to the decisive battle.

Because the Han army has the advantage of the Zhou army's water battle, Cen Peng speculated that the enemy would definitely rush to Lankou from the waterway, and proposed: "Only Liu Xiu sent people to take Lankou smoothly and thought that he could close the northern gate of the Jianghan battlefield, he could fight with peace of mind."

So the Lankou gathers and must be thrown away! So from the beginning of the city construction, the entire city was a...

"Beanba."

The fifth term used this word to describe the gathering of blue mouths, which is most appropriate. Since the rammed earth and bricks were built, Cen Peng deliberately cut corners: the moat was not dug, the city walls had no slopes, the outer city walls were too large, the foundation was unstable, and the wood was eaten by insects. He even left flaws on the walls. As for the heavy hammer, the hollow city walls could be broken. As for other loopholes, there were countless, and they were marked on the creation pattern one by one.

No wonder Cen Peng deliberately did not keep too much food. When Liu Xiu sent Fu Jun to attack this place, the Wei army guards retreated without fighting, because the broken city could not be defended at all!

Because of this, Wan Xiu, who has always been steady, only glanced at him a few times and asked Di Lun for his order: "Your Majesty is at ease to watch the battle. Please attack him with Guanzhong infantry and take action from three sides. In just one day, you can take down the Blue Mouth!"

He said that there are two benefits of doing this: First, to eliminate nearly 10,000 Han soldiers inside and relieve future troubles; second, as Xiangyang, as a water and land hub in the world, the ferry is spacious and convenient for boats to be moored, and 100,000 soldiers have to transport them from Xiangyang and Nanyang to hoard them.

Wan Xiu strongly advocated taking the blue mouth first, and then heading south... But the fifth reunion did not comment. After thinking about it, he looked at the right prime minister Dou Rong: "Duke Zhou, what do you think?"

Dou Rong is already in his fifties. He has been the right prime minister for many years. Facing the powerful emperor, he has been trembling and walking on thin ice. Perhaps it was because of the government office that was tired, which led to him being quite old. But his mind is still very useful. When the fifth reunion asked, Dou Rong took a little consideration of the emperor's intentions and then responded clearly: "Your Majesty, I heard that the person guarding the blue mouth is Fu Jun, the fake crossbow general, who is Liu Han loyal to him."

Dou Zhougong did a lot of homework and understood Fu Jun's details clearly: "In the past, the people of Nanyang rebelled against Xin, and Liu Xiu led the Green Forest troops to Yingchuan County. When he passed by Xiangcheng, Fu Jun, as the local pavilion chief, responded first. As a result, the Xin army brigade went south and the Green Forest retreated to Kunyang. Fu Jun accompanied him, and his mother, younger brother and relatives were all captured and executed."

Don’t ask him how he knows if there is no news about the embroidered yarn, because the “new official” who signed the arrest order is Dou Rong!

"Afterward, Liu Xiu expelled from Xuzhou for Gengshi. Fu Jun was mourning at home at that time. When he heard that Liu Xiu was traveling in the east, he would rather abandon the mourning immediately with the name of unfilial piety and lead the guests day and night to chase him to Suiyang before catching up with Liu Xiu. Since then, he has been under his command for more than ten years, and has won many military achievements and has been named a marquis and general."

"The soldiers led by Fu Jun are also strong soldiers in Wuzhong, otherwise they would not dare to go against the Han Dynasty and rush to Lankou."

Dou Rong concluded: "Therefore, even if you can easily break the Lankou city wall, Fu Jun will never surrender. He will lead nearly 10,000 Han soldiers in the city to resist stubbornly. He will not be able to clean up the streets with me."

Wan Xiu was a little unhappy: "I said that one day, one day can be issued and issued a military order. If you cannot, you can give your Majesty and the Right Prime Minister a punishment!"

"It's not that Dou Rong suspected the former general." Dou Rong sighed: "It's just that Rong's experience was too painful. It was on the eve of the Kunyang War. I also advised Wang Yi, the Grand Sikong of the Xin Dynasty, in the 300,000 new troops, that I had advised Wang Yi, the Grand Secretariat of Kunyang, that he could not use his troops to Kunyang, a small city that was both strong and unobstructed by the overall situation. The army should go straight to Wancheng and break through the green forest that besieged Wancheng. As long as the main force of the enemy is taken down, Kunyang will defeat himself without attacking."

"However, Wang Yi didn't listen to my kind advice, but said something: Now he commanded a million troops. When he encountered an enemy city, he took a detour and could not capture it. How can he show the power of the king's army? He should kill all the soldiers and civilians of Kunyang first, and the three armies tread blood, and sang and danced in the front and the back. Wouldn't it be pleasant? He also claimed that he could break the city in one day, and then he was defeated by Kunyang."

"The current situation is quite similar to that of the past. Liu Xiu's main force besieged General Cen, and next to this blue mouth is Tantu Avenue. You can keep troops to keep a watch, and the main force bypasses and continue to act in the south, hoping to jointly attack Liu Xiu with Cen and Geng as soon as possible!"

The fifth reunification obviously tends to be more inclined to Dou Rong's thinking, but first laughed and scolded: "The right prime minister is more appropriate to make suggestions, but why should we compare General Wan with Wang Yi? Is it Wang Mang?"

Dou Rong hurriedly said, "I am wronged! I am guilty!" After saying that, he bowed to Wan Xiu and apologized.

The fifth reunion waved his hand: "Times have changed, and I am different from Wang Mang, and Qing and others are not Wang Yi."

"But the opponent is still Liu Xiu!"

He stood up and said, "Uncle Liu Wen was extremely brave and powerful, and he was the hero of the princes in the world. Therefore, he was able to dominate Jiangdong for ten years without losing the country. Liu Xiu was quite cunning in using troops. He was captured by Gai Yan and was detained in Jiangdong until now."

Wu Lun looked at Wan Xiu: "I believe that the general can break the blue mouth in one day, but don't say one day. Even if I delay here for only half a day, I am afraid that Liu Xiu will be shocked to escape, which will make Jiang Han's plan fail this time!"

In order to plan this decisive battle, Cen Peng even died in more than 10,000 people from the rear team. He made meat bait to lure Liu Xiu to the bait. The fifth reunion failed to receive news from Cen Peng for several days. It can be imagined that the Han and Wei armies in Dangyang fought fiercely, resulting in the messenger being unable to get out...

After appeaseing Wan Xiu, the fifth reunion made arrangements: "You will bring 30,000 people to watch Lankou gather. After the soldiers rest, they will immediately attack the city! By the way, they will receive the subsequent 100,000 troops. I will lead 70,000 people to the south and rush to Dangyang!"

Time is tight, and Liu Xiu has the advantage of military strength in Dangyang, so he cannot expect Cen Peng and Xiao Geng to completely hold him back. Even if the plan is realized one by one: Xiakou is blocked and Jingling is burned, as long as Liu Xiu has three days, he can retreat to Jiangling, Huarong and other places in one breath. As soon as the Han army crosses the river, even if the fifth reunion really has an army of 800,000, with their current number of boat troops, they can only sigh at the river.

Wan Xiu still felt it was inappropriate and tried to persuade the fifth reunion. However, Emperor Wude was quite determined and unmoved.

"Five years ago, the Huaibei battle was unable to lure Liu Xiu to Pengcheng to fight to the decisive battle."

"Now Liu Xiu can't help but come to Jianghan in person, and he will try his best. He will never come again when he misses the opportunity. This time."

The fifth reunion's hand faces the southern void:

"I must catch him!"

...

Fu Jun was brave by Liu Xiuzang. Among the Han generals, his bravery ranks among the top five. Fu Jun was not afraid of being besieged ten times the enemy, but was most afraid of the enemy turning a blind eye to him.

Now, this most worrying thing happened. Fu Jun saw on the city that the Wei army divided its troops to surround Lankou, and its main army followed the Five Destiny Banners of the Fifth Reunion and continued to move south!

"Open the door."

"Open the door and attack the enemy!"

This was Fu Jun's first reaction. He and Zang Gong were arranged by Liu Xiu on the Jianghan battlefield one after another. Fu Jun's mission was to stop the south from helping the country. How could he let this huge Wei army go south? He even wanted to sacrifice his lives and nearly 10,000 soldiers in order to gain some time for Liu Xiu.

But Fu Jun was a long-time general on the battlefield after all, and had dealt with the princes, warlords, Chimei, and Shanyue, and soon calmed down.

"No, if I leave the city and fight with the enemy, facing ten times the crowd, the soldiers may collapse in half a day."

"But as long as I keep the Blue Mouth, I can hold at least 20,000 Wei troops, 30,000 people and ten days and half a month!"

Unlike the concerns of the fifth reunion, as one of the "Thirteen Cavalry" participating in the Battle of Kunyang, Liu Xiu in Fu Jun's eyes was definitely not the one who ran away by learning from his ancestor Liu Bang when the fifth reunion was about to arrive.

"Your Majesty has seen a small enemy in his life, and now he sees a great enemy bravery!"

Not afraid of the 300,000 new army, so what about the 100,000 Wei army? If Liu Xiu fought the Wei army in Dangyang, then Fu Jun would hold the enemy in front of him, which might give the Han army more chances of victory.

After thinking about it, Fu Jun finally decided to defend Lankou to the death. He ordered the generals, the captain and soldiers to make all preparations, and the arrows piled up the city walls, and all the bricks and tiles in the city were dismantled and transported. At the same time, the roof beams supported the most fragile gate. The remaining boat troops left the dock and parked on the Han River to prevent the Wei army from attacking the water gate.

After several hours of preparation, the Wei army launched a three-sided attack, which made Fu Jun laugh.

"When Mr. Nai was in Huainan, he also attacked many cities and towns. He knew that it was best to concentrate troops to attack the city. It was better to break through one point. Multi-faceted siege can only be used for few soldiers in the city. I still have nearly 10,000 tigers and sufficient personnel..."

There are also those crash cars transported from Xiangyang to this assembly. Although they were wearing thick cowhide, the Han army's bows, arrows and torches could not hurt their limits, but they did not hit the gate. How could they push them towards the city wall? Did they forget to turn around?

However, just as Fu Jun despised Wan Xiu's ability to siege, the Wei army's crash had approached a certain city wall. After repeated pushes and hits, the wall of An Ruo's rock rammed earth began to "shake".

The Han soldiers who squeezed and shot arrows down felt this turmoil and looked at each other in a hurry. The bricks and soil under their feet burst out faster. They did not react. With a rumbling sound, a large section of the wall collapsed and buryed dozens of people in the dust!

Fu Jun, who was commanding on the city tower, was stunned. He had fought for so many years and had never seen such a poor quality city wall. Fu Jun just murmured: "Unexpectedly, the Wei State was so corrupt that it was so corrupt. The wall-building money for the border ferry was also dared to greed for ink and corner work!?"

He could only make up for the brigade and urgently ordered his soldiers to block the gap and fight against the influx of Wei army. However, the gathering of blue mouths was like a broken embankment. Soon, there were many people in the world:

"General Fu, the northern city wall is broken."

"The southern city wall is also broken!"

What a guy! I’m afraid this blue mouth gathering is not just a tofu!

In this way, the Wei army's offensive was difficult to stop. Not only did it pour in from the gap, but there were also first-line people. The number of enemy troops was large, the armor and the army was more powerful, and it was only a matter of time before the loss...

Fortunately, the water gate in the east of the city is still there, and there is a boatman on the river to help.

For a moment, the Han soldiers lost their fighting spirit and asked Fu Jun one after another: "General Fu, break through the siege from Shuimen!"

However, Fu Jun knew that the Wei army's fleet might be waiting for them to rush to the chaotic moment upstream when they rushed to the river. Even if they broke through, how many people could board the ship and flee south? It would only accelerate the progress of the battle and once again the Wei army's path.

Fu Jun sighed. He realized that what he had been holding on to these days was a city full of holes and winds. It was now a bubble to hold on to the enemy. All Fu Jun could do was to drag it out for a moment.

"After you leave, you will tell the news of Lankou's loss to General Zang, Deng Sikong and Deng Yu who are wise, and you will definitely have a clever plan to solve this crisis."

"As for me?"

Fu Jun drew his sword and laughed: "I will receive the kindness of yourselves. I will die for those who are close friends, and die for national affairs!"

As the Wei army continued to enter from the gap, the subsequent troops also occupied the city wall. A large number of Han troops fled from the water gate to the east. The Zhou army rushed to respond. Sure enough, they were killed by the Wei army warships waiting upstream and rushed down. Thousands of people drowned in the water. The rest either surrendered or returned to the city in despair and joined Fu Jun's team again. He led more than a thousand people, relying on the city's lilu and warehouse, to engage in a street battle with the Wei army that would fight for incoming land!

Wan Xiu listened to the fighting in the city, and heard from the captain that Fu Jun would rather die than surrender, and was still resisting stubbornly.

Wan Xiu is a chivalrous man. Facing this fearless enemy, he showed admiration.

But he is no longer the Wan Junyou who can let go of his target for the sake of his temporary righteousness.

He was a former general of Wei State, and his loyalty to the fifth reunion!

He would prove to the fifth reunion and Dou Rong that he took this town in just half a day and would chase the emperor's main force and would not miss the real decisive battle!

So Wan Feng shook his head: "Before dark, clear the blue mouth."

"Send Fu Jun and everyone to see their Emperor Gao of Han!"
Chapter completed!
