Chang Side personally led two hundred elite troops from the imperial camp to the city tower.
The well-trained imperial camp commanders formed small gun arrays in the shelters that the pioneers had seized with their blood, and they marched in like a wall one by one.
Chang Side, as the leader of the formation, stepped forward one step at a time and shouted with each step.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The sharp spears followed the soldiers' vigorous thrusts, harvesting fresh lives one after another.
Zhu Lingyun was covered in blood and chopped down the enemy in front of him to the ground with one knife.
He was breathing heavily and also noticed the condition of the right city wall.
Zhang Hong is in charge there. Now that it's such a mess, most of the people are gone.
Zhu Lingyun was proficient in military affairs and knew that if the situation on the right city wall was not stabilized in time, it would become a breakthrough and a large number of Zhou soldiers would swarm the city, making the situation uncontrollable.
"If you can still move, follow me and fight!"
Zhu Lingyun threw the shield in his hand to the ground, picked up a knife from the ground, and held it dually.
His whole body almost looked like he had been fished out of blood from top to bottom. His whole body was red and purple, exuding an astonishing fighting will.
The surrounding soldiers were deeply affected, holding their weapons high and shouting: "I am willing to fight to the death with the general!"
Zhu Lingyun held two swords and rushed towards the right wall.
The two swords flew left and right, cutting down one Zhou soldier in front of him, like a god of death, directly facing Chang Side's imperial camp.
Seeing Zhu Lingyun's bravery, Chang Side laughed loudly and said, "Anyone who comes can tell me his name. There will be no nameless ghost killed by Chang Side's gun in Kaifeng."
A sharp look flashed in Zhu Lingyun's eyes, and he responded: "Shuzhou Zhu Lingyun!"
He had already seen how extraordinary the opponent's army was, so it was no wonder that they were defeated so completely.
He thought that the soldiers behind him were all tired from fighting for a long time. In such a state, facing such elites, there was no chance of death.
It is better to kill the opponent's general and take away his courage first.
Zhu Lingyun was extremely confident in his martial arts and faced Chang Side without hesitation.
The two swords in his hands were one behind the other, attacking and defending. The sword in his right hand was pointed directly at Chang Side's face.
Chang Side strode forward and stabbed straight through with the spear in his hand. Simple and powerful, he first pointed at Zhu Lingyun's face.
Zhu Lingyun was disadvantaged because the weapon was not long enough, but he reacted quickly and immediately switched from offense to defense. He crossed his swords, shifted the direction of the spear, and stabbed it from the ear, deflecting the powerful blow.
And he himself took the opportunity to quickly bully him.
In this fight with a spear, getting close is the first priority!
However, just as he was approaching quickly, two long spears on the left and right came from behind Chang Side.
Zhu Lingyun's soul flew out of the sky, but he had exerted force with his feet and had no way to hide. It was as if he had bumped into a spear, and he was directly pierced by the two spears.
From the time the imperial camp was formed into an army, Luo Youdu did not advocate individuals using weapons to show off their strength. Killing the enemy in battle was a matter for the entire army, not one person.
The team cooperates with each other and uses more to defeat fewer, which is the core tactic of the Royal Camp Division against the enemy in battle.
Zhu Lingyun obviously had the wrong idea...
Or perhaps hanging around the dock is like Chang Side, who was born half a gangster, and did it on purpose.
Chang Side did not give Zhu Lingyun a chance to speak. He fired the fatal shot, then lifted Zhu Lingyun up with both hands and threw him violently.
The corpses flew out like cannonballs, hitting more than ten people.
The man fell on his back!
It's not that Chang Side can't fight, it's just that in battles, he pays more attention to the entire team rather than showing off his personal bravery.
In this regard, he is exactly the opposite of Zhang Qiong.
Therefore, compared to Zhang Qiong who is easy to get ahead and often falls behind the troops due to rushing too fast when breaking the formation to kill the enemy, Luo Youdu now pays more attention to cultivating Chang Side.
As for Zhang Qiong, he is loyal and brave, and is a good soldier in charge.
He usually acts as a guard. When necessary, he is assigned troops and horses to lead the charge.
No matter who he leads, he will easily fall behind. Anyway, no matter who he leads, he can inspire morale with his bravery.
With the death of Zhu Lingyun, the Southern Tang soldiers in Shuzhou City gradually lost their souls. It was difficult to organize a decent counterattack. The soldiers either surrendered or fled.
The battle against Shuzhou City has entered its final stage.
On Tushan Mountain, Luo Youdu listened to Zhang Zhong describe the strange situation they encountered.
"I don't know where the soldiers came from. They were not many in number. They looked like more than a thousand. I thought I could have a good fight, but I didn't expect that they were scared away before they could get within the range of the bow and arrow."
A trace of pride flashed in Zhang Zhong's eyes. After all, he was under twenty years old and was young and energetic. He thought the other party was scared away by them.
Luo Youdu didn't point it out either.
He is full of expectations for Zhang Xiong's future, but the current combat effectiveness of the soldiers he has is far from enough to scare away the enemy.
They are composed of a group of common people who do not have enough to eat. They can only burst out with a certain degree of combat effectiveness when life and death are at stake. Now their overall strength is not even at the level of normal soldiers, and they need to be tempered through training and actual combat.
Leaving the rear to Zhang Xiong was a sign of trust in his composure and perseverance. At the same time, the transportation of logistics personnel and the movement of grain required good boat operators. It was because they were good at boat handling that they recruited and transported grain and fodder for Chen Chengzhao.
Luo Youdu's real support was Shi Shouxin's cavalry.
In terms of field combat, Shi Shouxin's cavalry team was the strongest combat force in his hands, and he was able to go to the rear camp for rescue as soon as possible.
What the opponent is really afraid of is Shi Shouxin's cavalry.
Even Shi Shouxin's cavalry were included.
Not simple!
Shi Shouxin, who was skimming the formation at the side, wondered: "Where did the soldiers come from?"
Luo Youdu judged: "It may be reinforcements from Shuzhou, or the Southern Tang Army that retreated from Guangzhou and Qizhou. Anyway, it is not a rescue force from Shouzhou."
If it were Shouzhou's rescue force, their number would never be less than 20,000 to 30,000.
If there are really 20,000 to 30,000 people, firstly, I can't hide it from myself, and secondly, I won't be so cowardly.
The other side was afraid of Shi Shouxin's two thousand cavalry, so they probably wouldn't be many in number.
But it is by no means limited to just over a thousand people.
"Brother, lead the Qianqi to chase the opponent in the direction of their retreat and see if you can touch their tail. Please note that the opponent may be hiding a specific number of people, it should be someone."
Shi Shouxin heard the caution in Luo Youdu's tone, and went directly down Tushan and led the cavalry team.
If you attack without fighting, do you want to cut off your own retreat and surround Wei to save Zhao?
wrong!
Luo Youdu realized that the other party was heading to Luzhou. Luzhou was currently at its weakest in terms of military strength, with only more than 200 regular troops.
But he left Pan Mei there...
Pan Mei has a very high emotional intelligence, and Luo Youdu believes that he can coordinate the relationship between the gentry and residents of Luzhou. If he is really attacked, he can rely on the strength of some of the gentry and residents to support him in returning reinforcements.
But there is no doubt that Luzhou is indeed its weakest point at the moment.
Luo Youdu was thinking about the ruthless characters in the history of the Southern Tang Dynasty who performed amazingly in the Battle of Huainan, and for a while he couldn't guess who they were.
do not care!
Looking at Shuzhou that had been captured, Luo Youdu felt at ease. At least he had taken the initiative in the battle.
