Chapter 235

At this moment, in Jiangxia City.

The defending army of Jiangxia had been in a standoff with Pang Tong's army for several days.

It wasn't that Pang Tong hadn't sent troops to attack in the past few days.

But he hadn't expected the defending army of Jiangxia to be so ferocious.

Forty thousand troops attacking the city, but they didn't gain the upper hand!

Among them, there was a nameless general whom he had never seen before.

His weapon was also quite strange, but it was extremely powerful. No soldiers could step on top of the city walls.

"The Wei army also has such crouching tigers and hidden dragons?"

Pang Tong frowned slightly, his expression extremely ugly.

He had intended to attack quickly, but he hadn't expected to meet with such resistance.

According to the news, the defending army of Jiangxia City was mostly cavalry, and there were less than ten thousand of them.

Why were they defending the city so fiercely?

He had never expected that Bai Feng's letter to Li Cunxiao would have these words written on it:

"Defend the city with all your might. There's no need to hide anything."

These four words seemed to have unlocked Li Cunxiao's shackles.

Coupled with the Eighteen Swan-Cloud Cavalry and the Black Armored Cavalry, these ordinary Liu Bei soldiers were no match at all.

Moreover, Jiangxia itself wasn't that easy to attack.

This caused Pang Tong to fall into a stalemate.

But Pang Tong was gratified that Cao Ren had retreated.

The forty thousand troops retreated without a fight.

It was also because of this that Pang Tong's impression of Cao Ren worsened.

It wasn't just Pang Tong. Wei Yan was also furious.

He had originally intended to make a name for himself, but he couldn't even withstand a single blow from that nameless general.

He had thought that Zhang San was the general of this city, but he didn't expect such a character to be hiding in the shadows.

"Don't panic, Commander Wen. It's not like we don't have a chance."

Pang Tong looked at the worried Wei Yan and said calmly.

Wei Yan's eyes lit up.

"Do you have a way to defeat that nameless general, Advisor?"

Pang Tong shook his head and said, "That man is extraordinarily brave.

"This man is exceptionally courageous. I'm afraid he is not inferior to Lu Bu."

"But Jiangling hasn't sent any reinforcements, and Cao Ren has retreated.

"Jiangxia is an isolated city," Ye Zichen said.

"As long as we step up our attacks, they won't be able to hold out if they run out of food."

"We only need to be vigilant and not give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of. It would be troublesome if they decide to cut off all means of retreat and lead their army to break through."

Wei Yan couldn't help but nod when he heard Pang Tong's words.

Although this idea was somewhat mediocre, it was a helpless move.

But Wei Yan had a feeling that things weren't that simple.

Based on his understanding of Pang Tong, he wouldn't choose to do this.

Sure enough, Pang Tong fanned himself with his feather fan, his face full of confidence.

Wei Yan hurriedly said:

"Military Counselor, could it be that you still have a plan?"

Pang Tong smiled.

"That's right, I do have a plan that can defeat the enemy."

Wei Yan was overjoyed when he heard Pang Tong's words.

"Please tell me, sir. I'll give the order immediately!"

…

Meanwhile, in Jiangxia City.

Bai Feng hadn't woken up yet when he heard Xiahou Yuan's urgent voice outside the door.

"Marshal, urgent report!"

Bai Feng narrowed his eyes.

"Something happened in Jiangxia, right?"

Xiahou Yuan's eyes widened.

"Sir, you're truly a genius!"

"Something did happen in Jiangxia City!"

"Pang Tong used a strange plan and chose to dig tunnels outside the city gates!"

"I don't know how many tunnels there are. They've been digging day and night, and they've already broken into Jiangxia City today!"

"General Zhang He sent an urgent report. It looks like we can't hold on for much longer!"

Bai Feng was surprised when he heard this.

He had already determined that Pang Tong had a backup plan.

He didn't expect that guy to choose such a method!

A frontal attack wouldn't work, and there were no airplanes in ancient times, so he chose to dig tunnels!

Although the Black Armored Cavalry was brave and fierce, the enemy had emerged from the ground, and there were many of them.

There were only slightly more than a thousand black armored cavalrymen!

Other than the Black Armored Cavalry, there were less than ten thousand soldiers, and they were scattered around the city gates.

Pang Tong's attack was concentrated on one point, and they were caught off guard.

The defense of the city gates was extremely slow, and the ten thousand soldiers would undoubtedly be surrounded like dumplings!

"Marshal, what should we do now?"

Xiahou Yuan asked anxiously.

From the looks of it, they were already in the middle of a huge battle.

Bai Feng narrowed his eyes and said coldly,

"Miaocai, summon Lingming and bring ten thousand elite cavalry from Western Liang to rescue them. You guard Jiangling well."

Xiahou Yuan was slightly taken aback.

"Marshal wants to lead the troops personally? That's impossible!"

"Marshal, please reconsider. Jiangling City cannot be left without you!"

"Why don't you let me go? General Pang and I will definitely be able to break the siege of Jiangxia!"

Bai Feng smiled.

"Don't worry, Liu Bei's army is only focused on attacking Jiangxia. They no longer have any spare troops to attack Jiangling."

"What you and Zihe need to do is to guard Jiangling well and suppress Liu Bei's surrendered soldiers. Don't let them know that Jiangxia is being surrounded."

"Let me handle the rest."

Xiahou Yuan hurriedly nodded when he heard Bai Feng's words.

Bai Feng's goal in leading the army was actually very simple.

It was to fully unleash the potential of the Black Armored Cavalry and the Eighteen Steeds of Swallow and Cloud.

Since he had strengthened this army himself, no matter how strong Li Cunxiao was as a commander, he couldn't fully control it.

In other words, the Black Armored Cavalry and the Eighteen Steeds of Swallow and Cloud couldn't unleash their full strength!

To put it bluntly, they could only unleash 100% of their strength when Bai Feng was present.

It was just like the ferocious army of one hundred cavalry when they attacked the Xiongnu.

"Elder Brother, I want to go as well!"

"Sir, take me with you!"

At this moment, Qin Liangyu and Li Yuanba also arrived.

Although the two of them had always been in Jiangling City, Bai Feng had sent them to suppress the surrendered soldiers in the city.

The two of them were so powerful that none of the surrendered soldiers who tried to escape succeeded.

Therefore, Jiangling City had been extremely peaceful until now.

Since there were many enemies in Jiangxia, Bai Feng chose to bring the two of them along.

With the addition of Pound, a first-rate general, they would definitely win this battle!

When Da Qiao heard the commotion, he opened the door carefully and asked Ling Ju in a low voice,

"What happened?"

Ling Ju bowed and said,

"Madam, the marshal is going to war. But don't worry, I have never seen him lose a battle."

Lv Lingqi chimed in, "That's right, Madam.

"That's right, Madam. You just have to wait here. The Marshal will definitely return victorious."

Da Qiao blushed when he heard the two of them calling her Madam.

Madam?

Did the two of them think that she was Bai Feng's wife?

"Ah, alright …"

Da Qiao quickly touched his burning face and slowly closed the door.

Looking at Da Qiao's strange expression and behavior, the two of them could not help but look at each other.

"What's wrong, Madam?"

Ling Ju scratched her head, not quite understanding.

Lv Lingqi narrowed her eyes and said,

"Perhaps Sir and Madam have not revealed the truth yet."
