Chapter 833 832 [Murderous intent emerges]

When the commander of Jingjiang Guards, Gu Jie, led more than 10,000 elite troops and began to cross the river, the battlefield with a radius of more than ten miles showed an extremely chilling atmosphere.

On the vast and gentle river, warships of the Dingzhou Navy patrolled the east and west sides to prevent the pontoon bridge from being attacked.

The war drums outside Jiangling City were loud and exciting, and the 20,000 elite troops under Fang Xiexiao's command who had been recuperating before launched an attack on the city wall. Cai Qian, Bo of Baoding in Daliang, personally guarded the south city tower, and Li Jin, the commander of Yanshan Guard, was in charge of the east wall, and even

Even Feng Yi and Gai Ju rushed to the top of the city with Pei Yue's soldiers to help the defenders deal with today's extremely brutal fighting.

The people in the city were busy, and all kinds of defense equipment that had been prepared for more than ten years were sent up, and there were also dedicated people responsible for preparing the gold juice.

The cry of killing could be heard in almost every corner of the city.

This side of the North City has been like a paradise for several days. Even in the situation of full-scale war, the defenders in charge here still have nothing to do. After the comrades on the north bank sent a signal and the reinforcements boarded the pontoon, everyone cheered, but the next moment they

The laughter suddenly stopped, because an extremely fierce Zhou army infantry appeared on the ford north of the city.

Jiangling City was first built on the bank of the river. The city's name means "Linjiang". However, as a hundred years passed, the river gradually moved northward, and then exposed a tidal flat on the shore. From there, it gradually formed a tidal flat about five miles long and more than 100 meters wide.

One mile of flat ground.

The most important reason why Fang Xiexiao deliberately missed Beicheng was not to set up an ambush for Liang Jun on the north bank, but because the area was relatively small and could not take advantage of siege equipment. At the same time, he had to always turn his back on Liang Jun's reinforcements and the Dingzhou Navy.

Raid and harass. But this does not mean that he will sit back and watch Liang Jun's reinforcements enter the city. At least before the arrival of the most powerful Wufeng Navy in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, he must limit the number of defenders in Jiangling City.

So he immediately dispatched the trapped camp led by Fang Yuntian.

The defenders on the city watched helplessly as the Southern Zhou infantry seized advantageous terrain, but it was difficult to effectively suppress them - the trapped camp consisted of heavily armored infantry, and they charged along the river. The archers on the city could not reach them at this distance.

It would be impossible to cause harm to them, and it would be impossible to open the city gate and kill them. Doing so would be tantamount to opening the door to welcome thieves.

The pontoon bridge on the river is not a strong and spacious stone bridge. In fact, boats are arranged on the river, fixed with ropes, and wooden planks are laid on the boats. If the water area was not extremely gentle and the width was within an acceptable range, the girder and even the pontoon bridge would not be able to move.

Can't stand it up.

Even if he could cross this natural chasm safely, due to the width of the pontoon, there would only be dozens of people around Gu Jie to rely on.

Waiting for him was the trapped camp led by Fang Yuntian himself.

This fighting may not seem as grand as the siege to the south, but it is even more brutal. The moment the two sides meet, their bayonets are red, and there is nothing flashy about it.

Time goes by little by little, and the river water on the shore gradually turns red.

Fang Yuntian came to the front of the battle in person with a spear in hand and firmly held the beachhead position.

Gu Jie used his strongest confidant as a sharp knife to move forward bit by bit.

Although the trapped camp did not come out in full strength this time, with only three thousand people in total, and the Jingjiang Guards fully supporting them, with tens of thousands of troops, from the perspective of the defenders on the city wall, the Southern Zhou army clearly had the upper hand. The reason was that

It's also very simple. Most of the Jingjiang Guards are still behind, and only a small number of people can actually fight.

Under such circumstances, Fang Yuntian could even separate half of his men to stare at the north gate of Jiangling. As long as the defenders dared to leave the city for support, he could change direction and break into the city directly.

The trapped camp and Jingjiang Guards gradually became entangled, and more and more soldiers jumped off the pontoon bridge to fight to the front.

Fang Yuntian and Gu Jie are both outstanding young generals in their respective armies. The two have fought against each other more than once before, and there has never been a winner. Today, as the battle becomes more intense, they finally face each other head-on again.

Gu Jie held the sword in both hands and slashed Fang Yuntian on the head.

Although he lost to Pei Yue in that banquet, Fang Yuntian was not depressed because he had retained some strength. Otherwise, the outcome would have been uncertain. Facing the menacing Gu Jie, Fang Yuntian was helpless.

There was no fear in his eyes, and he pushed away the opponent's saber with one thrust of his spear.

Just when he was about to rush forward, a strong sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart.

Under the nervous gazes of countless people above and below the city, a thin Liang Jun soldier suddenly shot out of the diagonal stab.

Unlike most people, he holds a domineering iron spear.

"General, be careful!"

Two soldiers trapped in the camp roared and blocked the way.

The spear is like a dragon, bringing up a strong wind.

The soldier stood up and advanced quickly, waving his spear with one hand and flicking it, and the two enemies standing in front of him flew out.

Invincible!

How could Gu Jie miss this opportunity? He approached Fang Yuntian again and slashed at the vital parts of Fang Yuntian's chest and abdomen.

Fang Yuntian finally saw clearly. The soldier's face was beautiful but his eyes were indifferent. The spear did not move at all during the charge, and the murderous intent was already coming towards him.

In this extremely dangerous moment, he made the most correct choice at the critical moment.

I saw him walking sideways, using the ferocious sword to cut a scar on his right leg, and holding the spear in both hands, he swung it hard at the pawn.

The three of them were separated at the first touch.

Fang Yuntian let go of his spear directly, and at the same time he fell violently to the side and back. At the moment he fell to the ground, he thrust his right hand suddenly, and rolled to the ground out of the opponent's attack range in a very embarrassed manner. A line of blood burst out from the wound on his leg.

.

"Well done!"

Earth-shattering cheers sounded from the top of the city.

The trapped camp showed extremely strong strength at this moment. Even though their general was injured and there was an unexpected top expert in the opponent's formation, they did not panic at all. Instead, they immediately tightened their formation and protected their general while fighting and retreating.

Gu Jie did not take advantage of the situation to pursue him. After the opponent retreated, he immediately arranged for a group of infantry to establish a military formation on the beach to cover the rest of the soldiers' smooth entry into Jiangling City.

This change was dazzling. The defenders in the city opened the city gates to welcome reinforcements into the city. However, when they tried to find the shocking pawn, no one found any trace of him.

Who is this pawn who seems to be stronger than Gu Jie and Fang Yuntian?

No one knew about it, and that thin figure became a legend. It was a story that was passed down orally by the Jiangling garrison for many years to come.

…

When the Southern Zhou army launched an extremely fierce offensive and Gu Jie led the Jingjiang Guards to assist the defenders in stabilizing the city defense, Pei Yue led two thousand cavalry to appear in Gao'an County.

The leisurely life these days has not wiped out the murderous intention of the Zangfeng Guards. On the contrary, under Pei Yue's deliberate suppression, they are like beasts in a cage, constantly rubbing their claws and teeth, calmly waiting for the appearance of prey.

.

Following Pei Yue's order, all the soldiers of the Zangfeng Guard immediately entered a state of combat readiness.

At this time, the three thousand cavalry led by Fang Yunsong were less than ten miles away from them.

Well, actually I just have a bit of a headache these days, so I’ll keep working hard!
