And this Jiangnan District is adjacent to Pyongyang, which North Korea's Zhongzhou belongs to. When Jin Tian's father ruled North Korea's Zhongzhou, the Gongjin family repeatedly invaded Pingcheng, invaded Jiangnan District and even the entire North Korea, and was defeated by North Korean General Jin Sheng.

This Jiangnan District has a sparse population and is not considered a wealthy place. It is not an extremely important county for North Korea.

But the special thing about Gangnam District is that the county seat of Joseon is also part of this county.

The Xiushui River flows from west to east, passing through Xi'an, Yongxiu, and Haihun counties, and finally merges into the Korean Sea.

If you go north along the Korean Sea, you can enter the Korean Inland River and reach the east of Chosun County in a few days.

This means that if Liu He's troops can successfully attack Jiangnan District, they will threaten to cut off North Korea's 50,000-strong army from contact with North Korea after cutting off North Korea County.

This was exactly Zhuge Liang's plan for Gao Shun that day.

Zhuge Liang knew very well that the Koreans had twice been forced to follow the Lukou Trail and attack the hinterland of Chosun County from the south. Therefore, when Jin Tian sent troops to advance westward this time, he would strictly deploy troops at the mountain passes in the southern part of Chosun County to take precautions.

Zhuge Liang cleverly changed his thinking and suggested that Gao Shun send troops to attack Jiangnan District instead, threatening the east of Chaoshan County from Jiangnan District.

As long as Liu He's extraordinary army can attack Jiangnan District, Jin Tian is afraid that the river route with North Korea will be cut off. Even if he does not withdraw his army immediately, he will definitely send troops to the south to aid Jiangnan District.

At that time, Liu He did not need to continue the attack. He could easily hold back a considerable number of North Korean troops as long as he held his troops.

As a result, Jin Tian's attack on Beicang will naturally be delayed when his troops are weakened.

After weighing Zhuge Liang's proposal, Gao Shun made a decisive decision and let Liu He complete the surprise attack.

Except for senior advisers and generals such as Gao Shun and Liu He, ordinary officers and soldiers had no way of knowing about this strategy. However, Liu He's seven thousand soldiers, from the moment they set out, had always thought that they would take the Lukou Trail to attack.

South of North Korea County.

Only then did Liu He reveal the mystery to them.

The soldiers who were suddenly enlightened had no time to savor the surprise and had not rested for long. Liu He ordered the entire army to set off again.

Liu He knew very well that in order to prevent being deceived, the North Koreans would definitely place many detailed operations in the Mufu Mountain area to detect the movements of their own troops at any time.

Perhaps, at this moment, the North Koreans' meticulous work has discovered their traces and is sending the intelligence to Jin Tian.

What Liu He had to do was to change his route immediately, cross the mountains and ridges before Jin Tian knew the real target of his attack, and kill people in Jiangnan District with lightning speed.

The seven thousand soldiers of the Chu army did not have time to think too much. As iron-blooded soldiers, they did not need to use their brains. All they had to do was obey unconditionally.

The whole army marched quickly, and it took them three hours to cross the mountain ridge to the east.

Soon after, the Xiushui River came into view, and Liu He led his army to continue eastward along the river valley. The farther east, the flatter and more open the terrain became, and the speed of the march was accelerated.

When only the last ray of rays of the setting sun remained, the target city finally appeared in Liu He's field of vision.

Pingcheng, that small county on the western edge of Jiangnan District, is currently lying quietly on the banks of the Xiushui River, bathing in the setting sun. It is waiting to fall into the embrace of the night, but it has no idea that there is a group of hungry people a few miles away.

The beast stared at her with its fierce eyes.

"After walking on the mountain road for so many days, he finally arrived!"

At this moment, Liu He felt so happy, and Xun Xun's murderous intent was rapidly burning in his eyes.

Behind him, the seven thousand soldiers of the Chu army were covered in sweat, dressed in rags, and were as tired as dogs. Their eyes also flashed with excitement and fierceness.

"Brothers, Pingcheng is ahead of us. There are many good wines and meats in the city, and some are pretty women. Follow me and fight into the city -"

Liu He roared angrily, and flew out with his horse and sword like the wind.

Good wine, good meat, fair-skinned wife...

What else could be better than these things to arouse the fighting spirit of such a tired army? Seven thousand warriors burst out with blood, like hungry beasts, and followed Liu Hesha towards Ai City.

.

…

A few miles away, Pingcheng.

On top of the city, the young general was listlessly patrolling the city.

The name of the young general is Jin Xiaosheng, the son of the North Korean general Jinsheng.

In the last war, after Gao Shun captured Xiangshan, he escaped and returned to Pyongyang City. The King of Joseon once again sent him to defend the most important Pyongyang City.

At that time, Gong Jinkang repeatedly invaded Jiangnan District and no one could stop him, so Jin Tian appointed General Jin Sheng.

For many years, Jiangnan District has never been invaded by people from Liaodong.

Therefore, guarding Pingcheng can be said to be a real job for Jin Xiaosheng.

Holding his sword and standing on the top of the city, looking at the setting sun, Jin Xiaosheng sighed softly and murmured: "I have been idle here all day long. I don't know when I will be able to lead my army into battle to kill the enemy, make contributions like my father, and open up frontiers for the general."

Soil..."

Jin Xiaosheng sighed melancholy. Obviously, as a famous general, he was not satisfied with this idle job.

The sun is setting in the west, and another boring day is about to pass.

Jin Xiaosheng sighed for a while, and after settling down his duties, he was about to turn around and go down to the city.

And just when he turned around and before even stepping on the inclined ladder with one foot, suddenly, he seemed to hear something strange in his ears.

Jin Xiaosheng instinctively pricked up his ears, turned around slowly, and returned to the battlements again.

The strange sound came from the west. Looking for the sound, he raised his head and raised his eyes to the west, looking suspiciously.

At the end of the avenue, there seemed to be a vague dust mist rolling in.

Jin Xiaosheng's body shook slightly, and an ominous feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

The dust mist was getting closer and closer, approaching in a moment, and the originally subtle sound turned into a loud sound like the earth was shattering.

In the dust and mist, countless figures emerged from it like ghosts, and the flag fluttering in the wind had the word "Liu" written boldly on it.

"It's...Chu Army!"

There was a buzzing sound in Jin Xiaosheng's head, and boundless horror instantly hit his body like a tide.

Didn't Gao Shun's army all gather in Beicang to deal with the attack of a 60,000-strong army led by the general? How could they suddenly appear in Pingcheng?

Moreover, looking at the densely packed enemy figures, there were six to seven thousand in number.

How could such an army elude careful reconnaissance and appear in Pingcheng like magic soldiers descending from heaven? Why didn't North Korea County give any warning?

Jin Xiaosheng's mind was flooded with countless questions in an instant, but he had no time to answer them because the fierce enemy tide was already coming like a strong wind.

Seven thousand soldiers of the Chu army rushed to the city in the blink of an eye.

Jin Xiaosheng, who was looking forward to killing the enemy and achieving meritorious service, faced the enemy that he actually killed, and could only panic and scold his equally panicked subordinates to resist the enemy who was killing them like a tiger and a wolf.

Outside the city, Liu He was sneering ferociously.

"Everything is as the general expected. The Koreans in Pingcheng were indeed unprepared. Today, it is finally time for me, Liu He, to make a contribution, hehe."

Amidst the sneers, Liu He raised his sword and shouted, commanding his wolf-like soldiers to rush towards the city head from all directions without hesitation.

Pingcheng's city defense was originally considered strong, but due to Jin Xiaosheng's neglect of defense, there were only more than 400 soldiers and horses on the city at the moment, while the number of soldiers and horses facing Liu He's main attack direction in Xicheng was less than 200, so few.

With such pitiful military strength, how could they withstand Liu Hejun's attack?

The scattered arrows seemed to tickle the Chu army, and they were unable to stop the charging pace of these tiger and wolf warriors.

More than 7,000 people each held a bundle of firewood and threw it into the city moat. In a blink of an eye, the trench, which was several feet deep, was filled. The soldiers of the Chu army who passed by the trench began to climb the city wall like a tide.

Although there are no formal siege equipment such as ladders, Liu He did not bring a large number of flying hooks with him on this trip. Hundreds of iron claws were hooked on the city wall. Thousands of people followed the line of the city wall for more than a hundred steps and launched a full-scale attack.

Attack, how can they cope with the mere two hundred or so Korean troops on the city?

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Chu warriors rushed to the top of the city and started a melee with the Korean army at the top of the city. However, the North Korean army, who had no time to do anything, could only allow more and more enemy troops to climb up the city.

Jin Xiaosheng relied on his martial arts skills to kill several enemy soldiers in succession, but he could not stop this huge attack on the city.

With a loud rumble, the suspension bridge was cut down, and the west gate of Pingcheng was opened by the Chu army from the inside. A large number of Chu troops outside the city began to surge towards the gate like a tide.

Seeing this situation, Jin Xiaosheng knew in his heart that the situation was over. If he continued to carry on, he would die today.

He didn't have time to think too much and hurriedly killed him at the top of the city, turned his horse onto the main road, and tried to escape to the east of the city.

Just when he failed to urge his horse in time, it was too late.

At the wide-open city gate, countless Chu troops roared like tigers and wolves, and the leader Liu He was even more unstoppable, harvesting heads wantonly.

Looking up, he suddenly saw Jin Xiaosheng not far away, trying to escape. Liu He, without saying a word, jumped on his horse, wielded his sword, and rushed forward like lightning.

The long knife in his hand, with extremely powerful force, struck Jin Xiaosheng head-on like a violent wave.

The enemies came so fast that Jin Xiaosheng couldn't dodge.

As a famous general, his ambition seemed to be aroused at this time. He raised his sword eyebrows, mustered up the courage, raised his sword, and tried his best to block it.

Amidst the violent shouts, Liu He's sword was struck with madness. The sword was like lightning and struck down with an overwhelming force.

Before the blade could reach him, the fierce force had already rushed towards him. Before they could fight, Jin Xiaosheng knew that this man's martial arts skills were far superior to his own, so he used all his strength to block him with his sword.
