In the Chu army, as one command flag was thrown out, the army began to move.
Ying Tingguang led 50,000 people and continued to attack the city.
Now, under the city tower, there are densely packed people, and the same is true on all four walls.
When Shi Gandang saw it, a smile appeared on his face, "Since there are so many people here, don't let us waste it, what do you think?"
The lieutenants around him all brightened up, knowing what Shi Gandang was going to do.
Then, he gave the order, "Don't let any of our Wu Dynasty's arrows fail!"
"yes!"
The order is issued.
On the four walls of the city, dense rain of arrows were shot out in a condescending manner.
In an instant, the charging Dachu infantry fell one after another.
As easy as chopping vegetables.
This is the horror of the arrow rain.
In the past, stones and rolling logs were just appetizers.
Now that 50,000 people from Chu are attacking, it is natural that they will be given a heavy drink.
70,000 people fired arrows at the same time, nearly 70,000 arrows. Shooting three times in this way is 210,000 arrows...
Can you imagine what the 50,000 people attacking the city would look like when faced with these 210,000 arrows?
The city below has turned into a Shura field, with densely packed people lying in a pool of blood...
After a while, blood flowed into a river, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood, which made people sick.
This was the first head-to-head confrontation between the two dynasties.
One attack and one defense.
To defend the city, the right time, right place, and right people are the best way to go.
The attacker, without any conditions, can only create it himself...
This wave can be said to have purely suppressed the Chu army. The Wu Chao army's step-by-step approach to defending the city made it difficult for the Chu army to capture it for a while.
The disdain in Ying Tingguang's heart disappeared without a trace at this moment. Such Wu Dynasty soldiers on the tower should not be underestimated!
There was no other way but to order people to retreat, because if they didn't retreat, they might all die during the siege.
There were a total of 50,000 people before and after, but they did nothing and lost 30,000 people. If the fighting continues like this, not to mention 200,000, I am afraid that 400,000 will not be enough to consume.
He returned to Geng Chunqiu and lowered his head, "General...general, I..."
Geng Chunqiu raised his hand to interrupt, "I don't blame you, but if I do, blame Shi Gandang, he is too good at defending!"
He continued: "We can't continue to attack like this!"
"yes……"
Immediately, Xu Mingdong and Gongsun Hong were called over. The two of them were placed under a fence. They were both shorter, so they bowed slightly.
Geng Chunqiu said in a deep voice: "Both of you, you must have seen the previous siege!"
"Yeah!" Xu Mingdong nodded.
Geng Chunqiu said: "This Nanjing city is a strong city, but I believe that no matter how strong the city is, there are weak points. You should understand what I mean!"
Xu Mingdong heard the sound and was stunned for a moment before saying: "This...I don't know either!"
"This city was fortified by the Supreme Emperor, so I..."
Gongsun Hong wanted to say that there was a tunnel, but then he thought about it and said it had been buried, so he didn't say more.
Geng Chunqiu was a little speechless. I really don't know how Xu Mingdong became the emperor!
She gave him a cold look and ignored him.
Geng Chunqiu could also tell that Shi Gandang was ready to defend the city.
So, Geng Chunqiu issued an order, "First cut off the water source in the city!"
"yes!"
He wanted to see what Nanjing would look like without water.
So, instead of attacking, we chose to besiege the city.
The army besieged the city.
In this way, three days passed.
That night, there seemed to be two moons in the sky, but this moon could move - it was a hot air balloon in flight.
Naturally, some people in the Dachu military camp also noticed it, but they didn't pay much attention.
As the fire in the furnace became smaller and smaller, the hot air balloon fell into Nanjing City and hung on a tree... They used all their strength to break free from the tree.
The next second, a group of patrolling Wu Dynasty soldiers surrounded him.
"My own people, my own people..."
The old man and the young man spoke at the same time, "We are from He Zhubu!"
Soon, he was brought to Shi Gandang and Lei Yi.
The two listened to the report.
His face darkened.
Mingguan Bridge is lost...
Shi Gandang now also understood why the Da Chu army suddenly attacked, cut off the Wu Chao army's retreat, and then began to besiege the city. It can be said that this strategy worked very well, and it can be said that it was carried out step by step.
Lei Yi said, "Could it be said that the Chu army is preparing to fight a protracted war?"
Shi Gandang nodded, "It's not impossible, we can see some clues from the current siege!"
"Then let's..."
"On the one hand, we are defending the city, and on the other hand, we are asking for support!" Shi Gandang's eyes were dark, "We did not expect the Chu army to join this war, so we must let Emperor Wu know about it!"
Lei Yi thought it made sense, "General, do you mean to ask Emperor Wu to send another army to attack the North Pass of Da Chu?"
Shi Gandang responded, "In this way, we can also relieve some pressure, what do you think?"
"Yeah, that makes sense!"
Immediately, they sent hundreds of people, under the cover of night, lit the hot air balloon and took off, then headed north in the direction of the wind.
After they left the sky above Nanjing City, they released the carrier pigeons again. In short, it was to send messages, and all possible methods were used.
It can be said that no matter what method, use it for everything!
A few days passed by in a flash, and suddenly a large number of people in Nanjing were unable to drink water...
Only now did Shi Gandang and Lei Yi see the reason. It turned out that the water source was cut off.
In order to solve the water problem, we immediately ordered people to dig wells to solve the problem.
Shi Gandang sneered at this, "The generals of Da Chu are so incompetent that they even resorted to cutting off water sources, which is kind of interesting..."
However, in general, it does not affect the soldiers' water use.
The two armies were facing each other, and half a month passed by. The Chu army did not attack the city, and the city remained quiet and peaceful.
This side of the Da Chu military camp is in the main army account.
Geng Chunqiu said in a deep voice: "What is the situation in Nanjing City now?"
Ying Tingguang answered, "The spies reported that everything in the city is normal!"
Geng Chunqiu sighed and said: "It's normal, which means they have thought of a solution. It seems that cutting off the water source will not really trap them!"
"Yes General!"
Geng Chunqiu continued: "Nanjing City, as the capital of the Southern Dynasties, was also very prosperous in those years, and there was no shortage of natural food and grass. It seems that defending the city has already won more than half the battle for them!"
Ying Tingguang clenched his fist, "Yes, it would be great if we could lure them out, but these two generals of the Wu Dynasty are not just people. This battle, I... I will not feel it is easy to fight!"
By now, they have also felt the power of Shi Gandang and Lei Yi.
I don’t dare to underestimate you even a little bit more.
Geng Chunqiu agreed with what Ying Tingguang said, "Our opponents should not be underestimated, and our Dachu soldiers are not bad either!"
