Three hundred and thirtieth chapters under the city of Yangzhou
Gao Jie was immediately furious. Not only did these people not help, they stabbed him in the back. Now that he was fine, they even beat him up.
"A few of them are good at calculating, and I, Gao Jie, worked hard with them, but what happened? The generals they sent were as fearful of the enemy as tigers, and they ran away for their lives before the Anton Army came to kill them..."
"Brother Yingwu, I'm afraid there's some misunderstanding here. According to what the general who fled back said, brother Yingwu may have fallen into the trap of Lin Dong's traitor." At this time, Huang Deqiu, who was beside him, came to his senses first.
After carefully questioning the generals he sent, he said.
"Humph, so what, if they were not timid, how could this battle have ended like this?" Gao Jie still said angrily. After careful consideration, he found that he had indeed been tricked by Lin Dong, but let him
It is naturally impossible to admit your mistake in public, and you cannot lose face no matter what.
"Brother Yingwu, I understand that you lost the battle, but now is not the time to discuss this. Looking at the posture of Anton's army, they will attack again tomorrow morning at most. If we cannot capture Yangzhou City in time, not only
If it were you, I and the others might also become the dead souls of Anton's army." At this time, the timid Liu Zeqing said with a worried look on his face.
"That's true. Let's think about our situation first. If we can't capture Yangzhou, I'm afraid our entire army will be wiped out." Liu Liangzuo on the side also said in support.
"We, Gao Jie, have lost all our elite troops. Attacking a fortified city like Yangzhou is like hitting a stone with an egg. If you are confident, my army, Gao Jie, is willing to serve as civilians and provide material support for you. As for attacking the city, I am afraid it will not be possible." Gao Jie said.
He said with a straight face.
"Brother Yingwu said this differently. You and I have been leading the army for more than ten years. We are all experienced in fighting. If other things are easy to say, this siege does not require any elites. As long as we can hold the
It's fine with a sword, but victory is based on numbers anyway." Huang Degong on the side rolled his eyes and said with a smile.
"Huh, even so, it won't work. Our army has just suffered a setback and has lost all fighting spirit. It is absolutely impossible to let them attack the city at this time. " Gao Jie said with a firm face.
"Since Brother Yingwu is unwilling to attack the city, we can't say anything. However, in order to capture Yangzhou City, we also ask General Gao to stabilize the rear for us and prevent the Anton Army from attacking." Liu Liangzuo pondered for a moment and immediately smiled.
said.
Gao Jie's face darkened. It seemed that these people were selfless. Unfortunately, if the enemy was really unwilling to do anything, it would be difficult for these people to fool him.
After pondering for a while, he finally agreed.
Seeing his agreement, the other three people breathed a sigh of relief. They were really not afraid of fighting. Only Anton's army was too strong and they had no chance of winning, so they threw this hot potato back to Gao Jie again.
As long as Gao Jie stops Anton's army, how difficult will it be to capture the city of Yangzhou with few troops?
They have known the situation in Yangzhou City for a long time. The Anton Army only has about 5,000 cavalry. Such a small number of people can be considered a powerful force in field battles, but if they are used to defend the city, it will be nothing. After all, Yangzhou
The city is so big, and the city wall alone is several miles long. What effect will such a small number of people throw on the city wall? When the time comes, a large group of people will rush to kill them, and they will be killed without prejudice.
While several people were discussing, the siege equipment produced by the four towns in Jiangbei were also delivered one after another. Lin Dong watched from a distance as the four towns in Jiangbei transported the siege equipment to Yangzhou City. A bad premonition rose from the bottom of his heart.
It seemed that their guess was good, and they were ready to attack the city immediately.
"General, looking at the situation of the four towns in Jiangbei, I'm afraid they will launch an attack on Yangzhou City soon. What should we do now?"
"Don't worry, with Xu Hongwei and Cheng San here, Yangzhou City can't be lost. You should quickly notify the supply troops behind and be sure to deliver the materials on time." Lin Dong said calmly.
In fact, when he said this, even he himself was a little worried. Although Xu Hongwei's cavalry army was powerful, they were alone after all. The four towns in Jiangbei combined had hundreds of thousands of troops. If it was a field battle, Xu Hongwei relied on it.
The cavalry army will definitely not be at a disadvantage.
However, if a siege begins, all the advantages of the cavalry will be lost, and it is not known whether Xu Hongwei can really defeat the attacks of the four towns in Jiangbei.
Lin Dong's generals had no doubts about Lin Dong's words, and had already led people to rush for food and supplies.
"Xiong Yue, go and see if all the soldiers who were chasing you have come back. What is the damage in this battle?" Lin Donglue pondered but decided to be prepared for both. Once Yangzhou City cannot hold on, the Anton Army must do it as soon as possible.
He rushed to help, but he would not fight such an uncertain battle easily.
After all, after a day of fighting and the pursuit, the soldiers were already exhausted. At this time, fighting against the four towns in Jiangbei, which were waiting for work, would be very disadvantageous for the Anton Army.
What worries him even more is that the ammunition of the Anton Army has been consumed. At this time, there is a head-on conflict with the four towns in Jiangbei. Once the four towns in Jiangbei are desperate, in the absence of ammunition, the Anton Army will
There is no guarantee of victory.
Lin Dong recalled the situation when he first came to Daming, and he had mixed feelings in his heart. He had finally managed to pull together such a team, but now he no longer had the same momentum.
As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Although he tried his best at that time, he was not too worried. Even if he failed, he could make a comeback. But in this situation, once the Anton Army is defeated, what awaits him
There will be no day of recovery.
Seeing Lin Dong's thoughtful expression, all the generals were afraid to express their anger, for fear of disturbing him. Over the years, their marquis has become more and more serious, and he looks full of confidence in everything. As for his heart
They didn't know what to think when he fell to the ground.
At this time, if there was a lot of noise in Yangzhou City, through Sheng San's arrangements, Yangzhou City had already settled down.
However, when Cheng San heard that the soldiers and horses in the four towns in Jiangbei were actively preparing for war, a bad premonition came over him. Although Xu Hongwei's cavalry was powerful, it was a pity that Yangzhou City was too big. Although his cavalry could hold one side,
But what about the other three sides? What should we do? What should we do if the four towns in Jiangbei launch attacks at the same time?
Thinking of this mileage, he immediately came up with a plan, and immediately led the people to the government office in a hurry.
At this time, the Yangzhou magistrate had long been killed, and the remaining officials, big and small, were also very frightened and did not even dare to raise their heads.
Cheng Sanjiang talked to all these people and said: "I am under Lindong, the Marquis of Dingyuan. The Marquis has an order. Anyone who is willing to submit to my Andong Army can be exempted from all culpability."
When everyone heard this, they were immediately shocked. Is there such a good thing? Could this person be here to keep me waiting? Thinking of this, everyone's heads hung even lower. They didn't want to accidentally be caught by the other party and stabbed.
