In the early morning, with the appearance of dawn, the Jin army fired thousands of arrows and catapults began to move.
In the sky, driven by the rain of arrows, like a burst of snowflakes, driven by a gust of breeze, countless notes appeared in every corner of the city. This scene also immediately caused a stir.
The attention of everyone in the city.
Not long after, someone came to report this situation to Liu Yu and the others.
"The Jin army is disgusting!" Liu Yu slammed the table and said.
Looking at the contents on the note, Liu Yu could already imagine that once the contents on the note spread to the whole city, it would definitely cause an uproar.
These Jin troops really didn't give them a chance to relax for a moment. They hit their vital points with every move, and every move would drive them to death.
"Quickly send an order to collect all these notes in the shortest possible time. Anyone who dares to discuss in private will be killed!"
"Also, report this matter to Jiangling quickly!" After getting angry, Liu Yu pointed directly at several generals and said.
At this time, Liu Yu's location was not the previous Dangyang County seat, but Zhijiang City. If Zhijiang City goes further south, it would be Jiangling, an important town in northern Jingbei. At the same time, it is also the seat of Nanjun, and is the largest city in Nanjun.
The city is where Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Xiu are now.
Previously, Wu Qi captured Linju City and captured Wang Zhene alive, then directly sent troops to Zigui to conquer the south and west.
The county guarded by Wu Han has not been conquered and is still in the process of being conquered by Qin Qiong.
Although Yue Fei had previously captured Dangyang County, he finally chose to temporarily withdraw from the city due to casualties. However, Liu Yu had already suffered heavy losses at that time, not only in terms of generals, but also in terms of military strength.
In this way, even with the few remaining troops, everyone is still injured.
After that, support from Liu Xiu and Zhu Yuanzhang arrived. Liu Xiu and Zhu Yuanzhang left less than 40,000 troops to guard Jiangxia, and 50,000 troops and horses were stationed in Jiangling.
As for the crisis in Dangyang County, even if Liu Xiu wanted to send reinforcements, it could be said that he was powerless. Yue Fei was still surrounding the city, so how could he let Liu Xiu's reinforcements in.
Therefore, when it was difficult to continue to defend Dangyang, Liu Yu began to think about abandoning the city. By giving up voluntarily, he could still have a certain amount of initiative. But if he wanted to leave again after Yue Fei defeated the city,
, there may not be that opportunity.
Among Jingbei, Liu Yu can definitely be regarded as a big fish, and Yue Fei cannot let him go easily.
In order to ensure the smoothness of abandoning the city and leaving the city, Liu Yu worked really hard. He even organized all the men in the city and threw them out to contain the Jin army. In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang and others cooperated on the periphery, so Liu Yu finally took the small army with him.
Some of the troops escaped successfully.
It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang made the effort to send troops to assist Liu Yu, but Liu Xiu did not express any clear opinions.
To be honest, at that time, Liu Xiu used the power of the Jin army to get rid of his good second brother Liu Yu in one fell swoop. Today is different from the past, Liu Xiu has more reasons to get rid of Liu Yu
.In fact, they have already somewhat ignored the fact that there is still a formidable enemy like the Jin army.
However, even if Liu Xiu wanted to use the help of the Jin army to get rid of his second brother Liu Yu, he would also be able to get rid of his innermost worries. He could not put this matter in the open, let alone directly say that he would not take the lead.
Liu Yu was relieved and left to fend for himself. Therefore, Liu Xiu could only remain silent temporarily.
However, how could Zhu Yuanzhang, who was also a monarch, not guess Liu Xiu's thoughts?
Liu Xiu didn't want to go to meet Liu Yu, but Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to help Liu Yu escape properly.
In this case, even if they lose Jingbei and ask Liu Xiu to retreat to Jingnan in the future, the total territory will only be less than half of the county, and coupled with the overt and covert fighting between the two people, it will be even more difficult.
Nothing could threaten his chances.
Liu Xiu could be his own master, but he could not interfere with Zhu Yuanzhang's decision. In the end, he could only watch Liu Yuzhen escape from Dangyang County.
Next, Liu Yu re-guarded Zhijiang City as Jiangling's last barrier.
Yue Fei, on the other hand, mobilized 10,000 troops from each of the three armies, plus 10,000 troops from Xiangyang City, for a total of 40,000 troops, and left it to Li Mu to deal with Jiangxia, while he himself continued to crush them all the way.
Liu Yu chased him all the way.
Next, if the remaining territories in Nanjun and Jiangxia are really attacked one city after another, the casualties required in the end will be too great. Unless it is a last resort, Yue Fei
I don't want to use this method of attack.
Besides, when Xiangyang fell before, the Chu army had temporarily recruited a large number of strong men in Nanjun to assist in the defense of the city.
Later, after Wang Liao opened up the situation in Jingnan, the Chu army seemed to be really ready to abandon Jingbei. It could almost be said that the pot was broken, and a further large-scale recruitment operation was carried out.
Regardless of whether the people can still afford such military expansion at this time.
As a result, it seriously increased the difficulty of Yue Fei's attack.
Therefore, under Zhang Liang's suggestion, Yue Fei finally decided to use a heart attack strategy.
Of course, Liu Xiu's sending Wang Liao to attack Jingnan was a clever move to a certain extent, which helped Liu Xiu and the others open up a way out. However, everything has advantages and disadvantages, and nothing has only advantages.
And there is absolutely no harm in it, and the same is true for this matter.
The land of five counties can accommodate how many people and how many soldiers. Therefore, Wang Liao's series of actions in Jingnan and Liu Xiu were only a retreat for a small number of people, not the militiamen who had just been recruited.
The way back.
Zhang Liang and Yue Fei were preparing to use this to shake the center of the Chu army in northern Jing and cause them to collapse from within.
Moreover, a piece of news that just came from the Floating House recently helped Zhang Liang. According to the news from the Floating House, Liu Muzhi and Kuai En had secretly embarked on the journey with Liu Yu's sons Liu Yilong and Liu Yigong.
On the way to Yizhou.
Zhang Liang could roughly guess the reason why Liu Yu made this move, but he also had to say that this matter was enough to do them a big favor.
Zhang Liang had already predicted that as long as they used this move well, many small counties would surrender without a fight, and there would be no need for them to send soldiers to attack.
