Chapter 333 The Battle of Jinling (4)
Lu Qinghou slept very lightly. He had never had a good sleep since Ning Que Chen Bing. The sound of horse hooves outside the door or the sound of the marching team would wake Lu Qinghou up. Since he left the east and southwest two years ago,
After that, I never lived like this again.
But there is something different at this moment. Back then, it was a precarious situation, either surviving, or being overtaken and buried alive. Now it seems that the results have been achieved. We have to consider how to defend this world. Although it is not big, it is
It was also his pursuit of victory and his final resistance to the Great Xia Dynasty.
All the arrangements were in place. On this day, he made arrangements until midnight as usual, waiting for the early morning of the next day to report on the mobilization of city defense. In order to avoid being infiltrated and causing rebellion in the city, the current city defense needed to be carried out.
He has already thought out the adjustment and plan. The generals will not be moved, only the middle-level lieutenants will be moved.
Because the higher-ups were all trustworthy, and they were all people who had worked hard with Sheng Gong over the years until now, but that was not the case for those later middle-level generals.
At midnight, a roar came from the south of the city. Lu Qinghou stood up. This sound directly woke up Jinling City from his deep sleep. He hurriedly ran out to see that there was already a blazing gas fire in the south of the city. Although his mansion was close to Jinling City
Despite the location of the palace, the fire could still be seen clearly, followed by the sound of fighting.
"Sir, put on your shoes..." The person standing guard at the door hurriedly ran into the house and took out Lu Qinghou's boots.
Lu Qinghou put on his boots in a hurry: "It's the south of the city. It's the south of the city. Quick, send someone to tell Shenggong that it's the south of the city. We are mobilizing personnel to reinforce the outstanding troops in the south of the city."
"Yes..." The man hurriedly went out, mounted a fast horse and ran towards the palace.
When Lu Qinghou went out and got on his horse, the sound of fighting could be heard all around Jinling City, and the fire surrounded the entire Jinling City from all directions.
Lu Qinghou can pat his horse and lead the people towards the palace.
"Boom..." Nangong Wan was so frightened that she hugged Fang La tightly, who charged.
Fang La was also startled, and he unloaded the goods with a tremor. Just as he was about to comfort Nangong Wan, the rumbling sounds continued to reach his ears.
The maid at the door hurriedly said: "Holy Duke, it's not good, it's not good, there's a fire in the south of the city..."
The army was besieged for eight days, and Fang La also asked Lu Qinghou to take the initiative to attack and explore the reality, or if he could be defeated in one fell swoop, that would be the best.
But Lu Qinghou said that what Ning Que set up was the Six Ding Liujia Formation. This formation can only be broken by someone who knows how to gossip. What's more, even if the formation can be broken, there are still a hundred thousand troops behind Gao Qiu behind Ning Que.
In his hand, when the time comes, he will directly change his formation and surround him. There is nothing he can do. He can't abandon the city and seek a decisive battle. How did Luzhou lose it? Wasn't it Shi Bao who went out of the city to pursue, but Gao Qiu was killed on the back foot?
Occupied?
For the sake of conservatism, it is safest to defend and counterattack. If Chuzhou City could do this, it would not have fallen so quickly.
Fang La thought about it and felt that what Lu Qinghou said was not unreasonable, so he was right. Unexpectedly, the world had been peaceful for eight days, and tonight, there was some movement.
"Quick, send the military advisor to come and discuss countermeasures." Fang La shouted, then he put on his clothes casually and headed out of the house.
Nangong Wan lay on the bed sweating profusely: "Shenggong, what's going on?"
Fang La turned around and put on his boots: "What's wrong? The city is under attack. You wait for me here and don't go anywhere." After that, he went out.
Standing on the platform of the palace gate, you can basically see most of Jinling, Lu Qinghou, Deng Yuanjue, Ning Buhui, Fang Mao and others all wearing battle armor and arriving under the platform.
"Holy Duke, the main attack is on the south gate, but the other three gates are implicated..." Lu Qinghou truthfully reported the information collected along the way.
"How do you say this?" Fang La asked hurriedly: "At this time, you are betrayed, how should you deal with it?"
Lu Qinghou said: "Everyone has his own responsibility. It turns out that each of the troops mobilized 5,000 people to go to the south gate for reinforcements. The remaining people and the troops outside the city will deal with the invading enemy. The four gates are equally important. If any gate is broken, Jinling cannot be saved.
, you must not open the city gate, Si Xingfang, where is Si Xingfang?"
"Si Xingfang went to the city tower, and the war should have started by now..." Deng Yuanjue said.
"Everyone, Jinling depends on everyone..." Lu Qinghou turned around and bowed to everyone.
Everyone returned the salute, and as the sound of fighting and the light of fire gradually filled the sky of Jinling City, they quickly headed towards their respective posts.
Fang La and Lu Qinghou arrived in the hall and listened to the battle reports coming from the front line.
"Report... Enemy scouts were found at each city gate. They tried to break out from the inside to open the door, but most of them have been killed..."
"Report... Nancheng is in emergency and needs immediate support..."
"Report...Ning Buhui's troops have killed and retreated the invading enemies in the north of the city. The north of the city is safe for the time being..."
"Report...Marshal Shi Bao fought a bloody battle with the enemy, and Marshal Si Xingfang came out of the city to rescue..."
"Report..."
One after another, the scouts appeared in the hall in disgrace, took orders and left quickly. Lu Qinghou's head was also racing. Judging from the battle report, Ning Que's main attack direction was indeed south of the city. According to his response to
According to Ning Que's analysis, it must have been a volley of slings and firearms first, and then the tower climb.
Cooperate with the ladder attack, if you can successfully climb the city, then let it go. If you can't succeed, you will use a battering ram to attack. If you fail again, you will use the last resort to cause chaos from the inside out and force the people in the city to flee. Once the people in the city flee,
Change, one million people cannot be stopped by the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands.
The east is getting whiter, but the sound of fighting has not diminished at all. Instead, it has become more and more intense. With the sun rising in the east, firelight has begun to appear in various places in the city.
Lu Qinghou shouted: "Come, if there is a fire, go and put it out. Anyone who lights a fire in the city will be killed without mercy..."
"Deploy Ning Buhui's 10,000 troops and let Ning Buhui take them to Nancheng to support Fang Mao..."
"Marshal Deng will see if he can get out of the city. If he can get out of the city, outflank him from behind and let the troops from outside the city come in, and then make up for the defense..."
"Oil, bows and arrows, all go to the south of the city..."
"Send all the wounded to my house, all..."
Fang La had never seen Marquis Lu Qing in such a panic. He could even be said to be completely disorganized. He had never been like this during the most thrilling battle of Dadu River. At that time, Marquis Lu Qing was still calm and calm.
He made perfect arrangements and deployments, and the five thousand pursuing troops behind him were tricked into turning around.
At this moment, he was also a little panicked. It had been three hours, and the situation in the city was getting worse and worse. The people in the city had not been able to go out to rescue the siege. The 130,000 troops outside the city had been led around, and now more than half of them had been lost. Although
Gao Qiu's troops are also decreasing, but the pressure in the south of the city has not weakened at all.
Ning Que, the Ning Que who never gave up until he achieved his goal. Such siege battles were rare in the hands of Lu Qinghou, but for Ning Que, they were commonplace. Thirty years of battlefield experience made him accustomed to it.
There was no skill at all to avoid such a bloody scene. A pure forceful attack, using absolute strength and close cooperation to capture Jinling City, was his ultimate goal.
