"My lord, General Deng Xia was seriously injured by the enemy generals Yue Lun and Xiao Mohe! Wu Qi's attack was too fierce, General Zu Ti can't hold on for too long!" Wang Ba rushed to Liu Xiu, not even bothering to catch his breath.
In one breath, he quickly reported the situation in Xicheng to Liu Xiu.
At this moment, Xicheng was continuously expanding its advantage under the strong attack of two fierce generals headed by Yue Lun and Xiao Mohe. And in terms of using troops, the generals headed by Zu Ti were really no match for Wu Qi.
The commander-in-chief can't compare, the generals can't compare, and the troops can't compare with the strength. If there is no strong support there, it will only be a matter of time before the city wall falls completely.
"What's going on with Nancheng and Dongcheng?" Liu Xiu asked quickly.
"The enemy generals often encounter spring. Although Qin Qiong's offensive is fierce, it is not a serious problem!" A general replied quickly.
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. That's good. Although the situation in North City and West City is in a mess, at least South City and East City can still be stable.
"Send the order and quickly dispatch three thousand troops from the east city to support the western aid!" Liu Xiu quickly gave the order.
Although, theoretically speaking, it is definitely faster to mobilize troops from the South City Gate to the West City Gate, and the speed of support will definitely be faster. But the South City Gate is where Liu Xiu, Zhu Yuanzhang and their retreat are.
, this place must not have any problems.
Otherwise, if they want to leave next time, it will probably be even more difficult.
"Report, my lord, something bad has happened. Li Cunxiao has climbed onto the city wall! Generals Su Jue and Yong and Qiang died in battle."
They had just managed to deal with the previous problem, but suddenly, another piece of shocking bad news hit Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Xiu and the others.
"How is that possible?" Yang Su even said in surprise!
For a master like Li Cunxiao, once he was allowed to climb the city wall, it would be too difficult to drive him down. By then, with Li Cunxiao's cover, there would probably be a steady stream of Jin troops scaling the city wall.
Therefore, they have always been very accurate in keeping an eye on the fierce generals headed by Li Cunxiao. Especially for Li Cunxiao, just for him alone, they arranged for eight hundred crossbowmen to keep an eye on them, and among these eight hundred crossbowmen, there were three more
Hundreds of people holding powerful crossbows.
Once Li Cunxiao's figure appears on the battlefield, these 800 people will immediately dispatch, shooting only at Li Cunxiao alone, and never let Li Cunxiao have any chance to get close to the city wall.
In fact, this is how most of the princes in the world target these fierce generals, setting aside a certain amount of firepower in advance just to target such a person or a few people to prevent them from being accidentally climbed onto the city wall.
However, although the coalition forces had enough manpower to target Li Cunxiao, the city wall was already in chaos at this time, so that the pre-prepared crossbowmen could not arrive in time. In the end, Li Cunxiao found an opportunity and boarded the city.
The city wall.
When Yong Qiang and Su Jue, who happened to be nearby, discovered Li Cunxiao's figure, their first thought was to run away.
Before the Southern Barbarians were conquered by Liu Che, these two men were staunch opponents of the Han faction. However, unlike Meng Huo's purely anti-Han faction, Yongqiang and Su Jue's father and son advocated absorbing the strengths of the Han people and strengthening themselves.
And achieve the goal of defeating the Han people.
Even after the Southern Barbarians were recaptured by Liu Che, father and son Yong Qiang and Su Jue only expressed their dissatisfaction. It was just a helpless choice forced by the situation. They had no real loyalty to Liu Che at all.
Not to mention, they are not fighting for Liu Che at all, but for Liu Xiu. It is even more impossible for Yongqiang and Su Jue to fight for this meaningless battle for them.
life.
His own family knew what they were capable of. Although Yongqiang thought he had some strength, he was not stupid enough to think that he could compare with Li Cunxiao. Facing the legendary Li Cunxiao, they could not rise to any level at all.
The idea of confrontation comes.
However, even if these two people want to run away, they have to be able to escape from Li Cunxiao's hands. Although Yong Qiang has superb strength, it is a pity that he has not recovered from his injuries.
Although Su Jue can be said to be ruthless and resourceful, at this time, it is obvious that he is considering physical strength rather than mental strength.
Let alone Su Jue, at this time, even Zhang Liang's intelligence is useless in front of Li Cunxiao. As long as he doesn't give the other party a chance to speak, it's just a matter of one blow, and Li Cunxiao doesn't even need to make a move.
The second move.
Therefore, before the two men could run a few steps, they were overtaken by Li Cunxiao on the spot and killed with two casual moves. It was almost the same as killing a chicken.
"My lord, you can't do anything. I hope your lord will make a quick decision!" Yao Guangxiao was the first to react to the news and quickly warned Zhu Yuanzhang.
If Li Cunxiao was the only one who climbed the city wall, they could use the strength of other generals to collectively drive Li Cunxiao off the city wall.
Alternatively, Lu Er can also be used to temporarily restrain Li Cunxiao. As long as they kill all the Jin troops who have climbed up the city wall in time, Li Cunxiao alone will not be able to cause any big waves. When the time comes, he will have to retreat on his own initiative.
No matter how powerful a general is, it is impossible for him to defeat a large army by himself. Xiang Yu, who was almost killed by them, has fully proved this problem.
However, now that there are Jin troops everywhere on the city wall, and there is also an elite group of Beiwei troops, they are simply unable to do this. Therefore, they are unable to drive Li Cunxiao down the city wall at all.
Although the Beiwei Army is not often used as Yue Fei's signature weapon, it will inevitably play a key role whenever it is time to activate them.
Moreover, this is not the first time that their coalition has dealt with the Beiwei Army. When they faced this elite force before, they had never taken advantage.
It is precisely because of taking these issues into consideration that at this moment, in Yao Guangxiao's view, the fall of Jiangling has become a foregone conclusion.
If Zhu Yuanzhang and others want to continue to drive the Jin army off the city wall, they may not be able to do it even if they exhaust all their troops. Instead of doing this, it is better to withdraw the troops as soon as possible at this time.
After all, they could not waste all their troops here in vain. If Zhu Yuanzhang and the others wanted to really leave Jiangling, they would still have to fight a breakout battle.
The Jin army was besieging the city on all sides this time. If they wanted to escape, they would have to break through Chang Yuchun's army at the south gate. And to do this, they must retain enough troops in their hands.
