    Luo Tong has always been by Ling Tong's side. Seeing that the current situation is getting more and more dangerous, he is very anxious.

    "General, seeing that this city is about to fall, is there any good strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

    However, facing the current predicament, Ling Tong had no good solution.

    At this moment, the people sent by Sheng Siam to ask for help also came: "General, Nancheng is in an emergency. General, please send troops to support us!"

    Hearing the news, Ling Tong's face became even more ugly.

    He couldn't help but sigh and said: "Alas! I didn't just sit back and watch Nancheng fall, but you also saw it.

    The situation here is also extremely critical, and we really can¡¯t spare any manpower!  "

    When the man heard this, he couldn't help but look forward, and his expression suddenly changed.

    I saw that the enemy general Pan Zhang had also followed the iron chain to the city wall, and was leading his men to launch round after round of attacks on the defenders.

    The man was so frightened by this scene that he finally couldn¡¯t continue asking Ling Tong for help.

    After Ling Tong sent him away, his brows were still furrowed and he was thinking about resolving the situation in this way.

    But Pan Zhang's offensive became more and more fierce, and the defense on the city became more and more disadvantaged.

    Luo Tong said anxiously: "General, we can no longer defend Lexiang, so we should retreat from the city quickly!"

    Hearing these words, Ling Tong¡¯s expression suddenly changed.

    How could he not know that what the other party said was the truth, but he was really unwilling to give up the Lexiang he had just acquired.

    Ling Tong had sent the information to Liu Ke before, but the war situation was changing rapidly.

    When Sun Quan and Liu Bei saw that the city was lost, their military morale was greatly boosted and they fled.

    This also made Liu Ke see the hope of annihilating the opponent on the north bank, so he devoted all his troops to encircling and suppressing Sun Quan.

    In this case, Ling Tong can only rely on himself here.

    In fact, Ling Tong has defeated the opponent's attacks four or five times in a row, killing tens of thousands of people, which can be regarded as completing the mission.

    It was not his fault that he really couldn't defend Lexiang, but the enemy's offensive was too fierce.

    Seeing that the soldiers were constantly being surrounded and killed by the opponent in order to guard the remaining positions, Ling Tong became increasingly frustrated.

    He finally made up his mind and said: "The situation is serious, it seems that the only way to retreat is to retreat. Send the order, abandon Lexiang, raise troops and leave the city!"

    It was very difficult for Ling Tong to make this determination, but looking at the enemy's performance, the enemy would not give up as long as he was in Lexiang.

    Wave after wave of enemy offensives made Ling Tong unable to hold on any longer.

    So, Ling Tong led his men and immediately rushed out from the east gate and fled into the distance.

    After getting the news, Sheng Xian also left quickly, heading in the direction Ling Tong left.

    Pan Zhang was very proud when he saw the enemy troops abandoning the city and fleeing.

    But at this moment, he only has this city in his eyes, and he can't look down on the defeated soldiers.

    Therefore, under the command of Pan Zhang, the army took over the city as soon as possible and allowed Ling Tong to leave.

    After Ling Tong's soldiers left Lexiang, they drove dozens of miles eastward before finally slowing down.

    Luo Tong and Sheng Xian gathered around him and asked nervously: "General, where should we go now?"

    Now, for Ling Tong, the best way is to rush to the north bank to meet Liu Ke again.

    However, now that he has lost Lexiang, he is so proud and arrogant that he is really embarrassed to face it.

    So Ling Tong simply gave up the idea of ??returning north and planned to continue to stay on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

    He remembered what Liu Ke had told him before.

    As long as he stayed on the south bank, he would be like a nail wedged into the enemy's defense line by Liu Ke.

    This nail can turn the opponent's defense upside down and may collapse at any time.

    So Ling Tong finally made a decision.

    He frowned and said firmly: "Continue to march eastward and go straight to Gong'an County!"

    Sheng Xian was worried and asked quickly: "General, our army has suffered serious losses in strength now. I'm afraid we can't take down the police!"

    Unexpectedly, Ling Tong burst out laughing when he heard this.

    "Hahahaha! Sheng Xian, you are too cautious! If it were based on the previous state of Gong'an County, it would be impossible to win.

    But the defender Wu Min brought most of his troops to attack Lexiang, so his defense was naturally empty.

    In addition, our army has just abandoned the city and left Lexiang.They must have thought that we were returning from the north, so there was absolutely no way we could be prepared there.

    When our army suddenly breaks out, we might be able to capture this city in an instant!  "

    After he said this, Luo Tong finally gained confidence.

    He hurriedly agreed: "What the general said is absolutely true. Instead of going back, it is better to stay on the south bank and wait for opportunities. By then, the enemy troops will be running around everywhere, and it will even be more effective than us taking Lexiang!"

    Seeing that Luo Tong was convinced, Ling Tong nodded with satisfaction and looked at Sheng Xian again.

    Sheng Xian thought for a moment and finally said: "General, I will do whatever you say, and my subordinates will do their best to assist!"

    Since we have unified our opinions, everything will be easy to talk about.

    Ling Tong immediately led the remaining soldiers and went straight to Gong'an County.

    This city is located downstream of Lexiang, hundreds of miles away from Lexiang by land and water, and even further away from the main battlefield of Zhijiang-Jianling.

    The most important thing is that the defense in the city is now even more empty, and it is absolutely impossible to stop Ling Tong's attack.

    When Ling Tong¡¯s troops finally arrived outside the public security county town, they found that the city was not as tense as they had imagined.

    The city gate is still open, and there are people coming and going from inside, which looks lively.

    It turns out that this place is not only a small county town, but also a transfer station for supplies and grain from eastern Jingzhou to Jiangling.

    There were military ships traveling everywhere along the way, so even though there were very few defenders, they still dared to open the city gate wide.

    When Ling Tong saw this, he immediately ordered his men not to act rashly and wait for him to check the situation before making a decision.

    Then Ling Tong repeated his old trick and led his men to disguise themselves and go into the city again.

    This time, Ling Tong did not face any difficulties, but the confidence he gained was very precious.

    As a transit station, this city has a very important location. The most important thing is that there are only two thousand defenders left in this city.

    Although there were many soldiers going in and out of the city, almost all of them were passers-by, so naturally they didn't care too much.

    Therefore, Ling Tong thought for a moment and immediately had an idea.

    He decided to pretend to be a passing army and follow the others closer to the city.

    Then, while the defenders were not paying attention, they instantly seized control of the city from the other side.

    What can be expected is that as long as this city is captured, the communication between Jiangling and the three counties east of Jingzhou will be immediately cut off.

    When the time comes, only a few days of isolation will definitely change the morale of Jiangling's defenders.

    You can help Liu Ke capture Jiangling in one fell swoop and eliminate Sun Quan's rebels.

    After all the discussions were completed, Ling Tong, Sheng Xian, and Luo Tong led a group of people to walk into the city.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
