    Jiangling, as the base camp for Sun Quan's military deployment this time, was naturally very vigilant.  The defenders were on alert twelve hours a day from morning to night.

    So although the wolf smoke was extinguished by Ling Tong's soldiers not long after it ignited, it still attracted the attention of Jiangling.

    The soldiers on alert dutifully reported to their superiors despite the short-lasting smoke.

    At the moment, the highest official in the city was the civil servant Zhang Zhao. He was specifically responsible for internal affairs and logistics, so he did not follow Sun Quan to the Zhijiang battlefield.

    Instead, he was stationed in Jiangling and transported supplies to the front line.

    After hearing the noise, he immediately rushed to the top of the city to check.

    But when he arrived, the smoke had been extinguished, and Zhang Zhao shouted displeased: "Where did the smoke come from? Could it be that you are lying about the military situation? This is a capital crime!"

    When the soldier heard this, he immediately fell to his knees and assured that he was absolutely right.

    And those who were with him just now all swore that there was a wolf smoke rising straight into the sky in the direction of Lexiang.

    Seeing so many people testify, Zhang Zhao had no choice but to believe this person¡¯s words.

    However, because the smoke lasted for too short a time, even he was not sure that something had happened in Lexiang.

    Maybe there was a fire there accidentally and the smoke was accidentally ignited, which was immediately extinguished.

    "Otherwise, he wouldn't believe it. How could a city fall in such a short period of time?"

    To be on the safe side, Zhang Zhao immediately ordered: "Zhang Ya, you already know Zhan Qiang. Now there is smoke in Lexiang.

    Although I don¡¯t know what happened, for the sake of safety, I ordered you to go and check it out.

    If there are really enemy troops, report them immediately. If it is just a misfire, give Zhan Qiang a good warning.

    Now that Liu Ke¡¯s army is so large and powerful, he will not be able to capture Zhijiang for a long time. He might actually take risks, so he must be on guard!  "

    Hearing the words, Zhang Ya immediately obeyed the order, and then took three thousand naval troops and drove towards Lexiang at high speed.

    Jiangling and Lexiang are located on the north and south banks of the Yangtze River, less than 40 miles apart.

    Even though she was swimming against the current, Zhang Ya arrived outside the city in less than two hours.

    But before he even got close to the city wall, he felt a difference in the atmosphere around him.

    Although no enemy troops were seen, looking at it from a distance, the city was full of lifelessness and lifelessness.

    Zhang Ya's face gradually became cautious, and he quickly ordered: "Send the order, the whole army is on alert, be careful!"

    The army continued to move forward and finally approached the outside of Lexiang City.

    At this moment, Zhang Ya finally discovered the warship docked at the water's edge.

    Seeing this scene, his nerves became tense instantly, because the style of this warship was definitely not his own.

    So, Zhang Ya hurriedly mobilized the army and slowly approached with a look of caution.

    And his appearance immediately alerted the troops remaining on the warship.

    A warship immediately sailed over. The leader on the ship stopped when he was a stone's throw away from the opponent and shouted something.

    "Who are you?"

    The other party took the lead and sounded very unkind. Zhang Ya immediately ordered his men to prepare quietly.

    He replied: "We are the Jiangling Navy. Seeing the smoke just ignited in Lexiang, we came here to check. Who are you?"

    So far, Zhang Ya has not recognized the identities of these people.

    He even mistakenly thought that these people were probably Liu Bei's navy upstream.

    Otherwise, the war just broke out in time. How can there be no movement inside and outside the city?

    However, after he announced his home, the other party no longer hesitated and gave the order directly, and the other warships behind him rushed towards here together.

    Seeing this scene, Zhang Ya could guess something no matter how stupid she was.

    His face changed drastically and he shouted loudly: "No, it's the enemy, retreat quickly!"

    However, Zhang Ya's reaction was already too late. The warship that had just approached unceremoniously launched an attack on him.

    This time Zhang Ya only came to check the situation, so he only brought out 3,000 sailors.

    Although Ling Tong had fewer people than Zhang Ya left on the warship outside the city, he didn't know the truth and he didn't dare to fight with the opponent easily.

    In fact, although Zhang Ya was timid, this just saved her life.

    After all, Ling Tong¡¯s army has cleaned up all the remaining defenders in the city. Even if they escape from the south gate,Those who were there were also blocked by Sheng Siam who was ambushing here.

    So as long as the war breaks out, the enemy troops can quickly come in with reinforcements.

    But his reaction was already very fast, but it would take time for the ship to turn around and escape.

    As a result, he was immediately bitten by the Ling Tongjun who came over.

    The reason why these left-behind soldiers are left here is not because they are weak in combat effectiveness.

    On the contrary, their attacks were equally ferocious. Zhang Ya's navy suffered a heavy blow in the first wave of contact.

    Because one of the warships reacted slowly, it was surrounded by two other warships.

    In the blink of an eye, he was defeated by the opponent's fierce attack.

    This scene also frightened Zhang Ya, and she quickly ordered her men to fight back.

    In the end, at the cost of two warships, we finally distanced ourselves from the opponent.

    However, after getting over the initial panic, Zhang Ya finally discovered that there were actually only four warships attacking her.  The total number of people probably wouldn't exceed two thousand.

    So when he was about to fight back and prepare for revenge, he saw a large army rushing out of the city gate of Lexiang.

    Originally, Ling Tong had finished cleaning up the mess in the city and was making arrangements with his subordinates to take over the garrison.

    But suddenly I heard movement outside the city, saying that there was support from enemy warships.

    He led his troops to rush out without hesitation and saw Zhang Ya's fleet as expected.

    Ling Tong immediately boarded the ship to prepare for battle, but after seeing this scene, Zhang Ya had no courage to continue fighting.

    He quickly ordered the ship to move forward at full speed and never dared to look back.

    After chasing for more than twenty miles, I saw that I was gradually approaching Jiangling, and I was worried that I would encounter more enemy troops.

    So Ling Tong ordered his men to return.

    Zhang Ya, who was still in shock, finally escaped the disaster and rushed back to Jiangling.

    At this time, Zhang Zhao had been feeling uneasy, so he was still waiting on the top of the city.

    Seeing that Zhang Ya came back not long after leaving, I thought there was no war in Lexiang, so I finally felt relieved.

    But when the other party ran up to him with a panicked look on his face, Zhang Zhao instantly let out a thump when he saw the other party's expression.

    "My lord, Lexiang has been occupied by the enemy!"

    "What! Say it again!"

    Zhang Zhao couldn¡¯t believe it no matter what, but when Zhang Ya recounted his experience outside the city, he had no choice but to believe it.

    However, Zhang Zhao continued to ask, but Zhang Ya knew nothing about the identity of the enemy troops or the situation of the guard Zhan Qiang.

    After all, Zhang Ya was driven back before he could even get close. Where could he go?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
