This finally avoided the situation where the army was scattered and fled after being attacked by Liu Ke.

After Liu Ke's army defeated Duanhou's enemy, they followed the escape route of the opponent and continued to chase in the direction of Jiangling.

However, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu didn't know that the situation in Jiangling was also difficult.

When Zhang Zhao saw that Le Township had fallen, he was anxious, and immediately sent Zhang Ya to lead the few remaining troops in the city to fight for it.

In the end, only [-] soldiers and horses remained in the city and continued to garrison.

Originally, he thought that with Sun Quan's main force on the front line, he shouldn't have to worry about being harassed by the enemy.

After all, even if Sun Quan was defeated and retreated, they arrived first, not the enemy.

But Zhang Zhao only considered the enemies in the direction of Zhijiang, but didn't pay attention to other directions.

It turned out that at the moment above the Han River, there was a more powerful army coming here.

This is the land and water coalition of Lu Bu and Gan Ning.

After they successfully captured Jingcheng, they continued to pursue the fleeing Xu Sheng and Huang Gai to Jingling.

However, the conditions in Jingling were much worse than in Jingcheng. There were dense water networks everywhere, and Lu Bu's cavalry had no conditions to deploy at all.

But the opponent can rely on the advantage of the city and concentrate on dealing with Gan Ning's navy.

Therefore, the two sides have been fighting here for many days, but it is still difficult to break through Jingling.

Just as Lu Bu and Gan Ning were discussing the next step with helpless expressions, they suddenly got an important piece of information.

They found out that Sun Quan's main force had left Jiangling and headed for Zhijiang.

Originally, the reason why they didn't provoke Jiangling was naturally because this city, as Sun Quan's base camp, was very tightly guarded.

But at this moment, when all the elites are out, the city will inevitably be empty.

So Lu Bu took the initiative and said: "Xingba, in my opinion, otherwise we wouldn't be wasting time in Jingling.

Simply turn to attack Jiangling. This will not only exceed the opponent's expectations, but also cut off Sun Quan's retreat and provide help for Zhijiang's battle.

As long as Sun Quan's main force is defeated, won't the little Jingling surrender? "

After all, Gan Ning, as the main force to attack Jingling, had spent a long time in the city.

To make him give up suddenly, I still feel a little unwilling.

But after hearing Lu Bu's analysis, every sentence is reasonable, and even if Jiangling cannot be captured, it can threaten the opponent's rear and force Sun Quan to retreat.

Taking this into consideration, the benefits of attacking Jiangling far outweighed Jingling.

Therefore, Gan Ning finally agreed.

The world said that Lu Bu was brave and foolish, just bullying the weak, but this time his judgment was very correct.

Lu Bu's cavalry immediately marched towards Jiangling first, and arrived in less than two days after a journey of hundreds of miles.

But he has been with Liu Ke for so long, and he is surrounded by resourceful people, so he has learned to be smart even if he is exposed to it.

So Lu Bu did not attack immediately, but sent someone to check the situation first.

However, when he got the information, Lu Bu was overjoyed.

"Hahahaha! God help me, Xingba, I won't wait for you this time. I've seen your navy perform well before, and this time it's finally my turn, Lu Bu!"

Therefore, Lu Bu immediately launched an attack on Jiangling.

Zhang Zhao was wandering anxiously in the city at the moment, waiting for the good news from the direction of Le Township.

He not only sent Zhang Ya out, but also transferred the defenders from Jiangjin downstream to Le Township.

The army has been out for a few days, there must be some news.

Just when he was worried, a small soldier ran over suddenly.

Zhang Zhao thought that the other party was here to announce the good news, but when he heard his words, he was immediately terrified.

Zhang Zhao hurried up to the top of the city to check, and sure enough, he saw that Lü Bu's army had already lined up outside the city.

After seeing him, Lu Bu pointed at Fang Tian's painted halberd and shouted: "Listen up, the defenders in the city, I am General Pingdong, Marquis Wen Lu Fengxian.

If you are sensible, quickly open the city and surrender, otherwise the day the city is broken, it will also be the time of destruction! "

Hearing the other party's self-reported family name, Zhang Zhao was so frightened that he trembled all over.

He had heard of Lu Bu's name a long time ago, and even though it was the first time he had met him, he could see the monstrous killing intent from the opponent's army formation.

Zhang Zhao also had self-knowledge, for such soldiers and horses, he was not something he could stop.

The first thousand and 770 chapters to defend Jiangling

Lu Bu's sudden appearance shocked Zhang Zhao.

He knew very well in his heart that the other party was an unparalleled general in the world, and he was a civil servant with no power to restrain a chicken.

In addition, the original soldiers and horses in the city had already been taken by Zhang Ya to attack Le Township.

The rest of these people are just enough to maintain the most basic defense, and there is no ability to repel the enemy's attack.

So after such a comprehensive consideration, it seems that I have already faced a desperate situation.
