Chapter 619 Yang Jian allied with Yuan Shu and planned to destroy Dou Jiande!
However, this stalemate did not last long, because reinforcements from the Shu army arrived!
Zhang Ren and others who were actively preparing for the war on the front line received the news that the reinforcements sent by Dou Jiande had arrived at Fangling. They were overjoyed and their confidence greatly increased. They immediately decided to attack Shangyong City as a whole and launch a general attack!
"With Dou Tongyuan leading the army to assist General Huli and the others in guarding Fangling, even if Yang Jian personally leads the expedition, he will never be able to capture Fangling. We here can safely attack Shangyong!"
At this time, after the generals of the Shu army learned that Dou Jiande had sent reinforcements to assist General Huli in guarding Fangling, they seemed to have taken reassurance, and each of them clamored to ask Ying to be the vanguard.
Zhang Ren, the commander-in-chief of the Shu army, saw that the morale of the soldiers was high and their morale was ready. He turned to look at the soldiers behind him, then raised his sword high and shouted loudly: "Brothers, come with me to attack the city. We must capture Shangyong today."
city!"
Zhang Ren's roar was like thunder, and his sonorous, powerful and inspiring words reached the ears of the soldiers. The soldiers seemed to have been given blood, their faces flushed, and they roared: "Attack the city! Attack the city.
!Siege the city!”
The shouts of the Shu soldiers resounded through the sky, and their morale was high, as if the walls of Shangyong City were about to collapse in the next moment!
"My sons, follow me to kill the enemy!!!"
Zhang Ren looked up to the sky and roared, and then he saw him leading the army, swinging a sharp sword in circles with his strong right hand, and violently pulling the reins of the horse under his crotch with his left hand. The man and the horse were like a hurricane, rushing towards Shangyong like lightning.
Rush towards the city.
As the saying goes, a general is the bravest of a soldier. When the soldiers of Shu saw that their general was so fierce, they were not to be outdone. They immediately waved their weapons and followed Zhang Ren's footsteps, rushing towards Shangyong City like the tide of the Qiantang River.
!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!"
The Jingzhou soldiers who were patrolling the city wall saw the Shu army coming like a tide. They shouted loudly in panic and immediately sounded the war alarm.
"Quick, quick, quick... move out all the materials needed to defend the city, and stand people at every wall. Don't let the Shu army take advantage of it!"
Yang Su, the guard general of Shangyong City, organized the soldiers to prepare for defense in an orderly manner. A large number of defensive supplies were piled in the corridors of the city wall. In the open space, the soldiers set up large iron pots, filled with boiling water and stench.
The golden juice made a purring sound under the burning fire.
Looking at the menacing Shu army outside the city, Yang Su, Yang Xuangan, Yang Zeng, Han Zengshou, Yuwen Chengxiang, Yuwen Zhi and other generals had gloomy expressions. They clenched their weapons and were ready for a bloody battle!
"You sons and daughters of Jingzhou, use all your skills to show these Sichuan dogs how powerful our Jingzhou army is!"
Listening to the shouts of their general Yang Su, Jingzhou soldiers responded one after another. They clenched their weapons and prepared to fight the enemy to the death.
As time continued to pass, the menacing Shu army had successfully arrived at the foot of Shangyong City. They quickly launched the ladder, and then large groups of soldiers faced the threat of arrows and rolling stones and rushed towards the city wall along the ladder!
Seeing the critical situation, the generals responsible for guarding the city immediately ordered: "Smash it with stones, pour gold juice and boiling water down the ladder, pour kerosene down the ladder, and then set it on fire!"
The soldiers of the Jingzhou Army on the city wall obeyed the general's command. They lifted huge rocks and wood, and used heavy stones and wood to hit the Shu soldiers climbing the ladders.
At the same time, many soldiers worked together to pick up large iron pots and poured the hot golden juice and boiling water down the ladder. The hot liquid penetrated into every hole, and the Shu soldiers who were climbing up were scalded all over if they were not careful.
Blood blisters appeared, armor, clothing and flesh were stuck together, and the scarlet flesh was clearly visible. They let out pitiful wails, fell from the ladder one after another, and were shattered to pieces!
In addition, some soldiers from Jingzhou took out kerosene filled in clay pots, poured the kerosene on the ladder, and then set it on fire. In an instant, the ladder became a fire ladder, and the raging fire instantly destroyed the people on the ladder.
The soldiers of the Shu Army were swallowed up, which meant that once the ladder caught fire, none of the soldiers on the ladder would be spared!
The offensive and defensive battle of Shangyong City entered a fierce stage. The Shu army rushed toward Shangyong City one after another, while the Jingzhou troops in the city were on tight defense and constantly blocked the Shu army's invasion.
at the same time!
After Dou Tongyuan of Jingzhou received instructions from his lord Dou Jiande, he led eight thousand soldiers under his command to rush north to aid the three Huli brothers and assist them in guarding Fangling.
Just three days after Dou Tongyuan led his army to Fangling, Jingzhou Yang Jian was furious after learning about the alliance between Dou Jiande and Liu Bang. He immediately sent two fierce generals, Zhang Xiantu and Yao Zilin, to lead an army of 20,000 people.
Go and recapture Fangling.
Not only that, Yang Jian also sent an envoy to Sili to ask for help from Yuan Shu, who was guarding Luoyang!
Yuan Shu, who was planning to exterminate Dong Zhuo's forces, had the idea of intervening after learning about the battle between Fangling and Shangyong, but he never had the chance. Now Liu Bang has allied with the traitor Dou Jiande, and Yang Jian has sent envoys to ask for help.
It is the best time to send troops. If we don’t send troops now, when will we wait?
"The Shu army captured Fangling and cut off Yang Guang and Yang Xuangan. Yang Su and others will retreat to Jingzhou. They want to annihilate them all in Shangyong! Liu Bang is a ruthless guy. You must not let him develop, otherwise there will be endless troubles!
"
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu had an idea in his mind. Since Liu Bang and Dou Jiande formed an alliance to resist Yang Jian, what if he formed an alliance with Yang Jian to destroy Dou Jiande's power, and then supported the Jingzhou army to capture Shangyong again, and even march westward into Yizhou?
Wouldn't it be possible to weaken Liu Bang's power?
In this way, it can not only destroy and absorb Dou Jiande's forces, but also completely mix the waters in Yizhou and Jingzhou, suppressing the strength of the princes in these two places in all directions, achieving multiple things with one stone!
"Okay, okay. If this is the case, then Jingzhou needs to send a group of soldiers and horses. Dou Jiande has two powerful generals, the Ape Monkey and the Rong King, under his command, so he has to act cautiously."
Considering that Dou Jiande had two powerful generals under his command, and Liu Bang had Fan Kuai, the six-eared macaques and the three tiger brothers under his command, Yuan Shu thought about it and decided to recruit Niu Mowang and Jiang Song from Luoyang City, as well as Xue Rengui
, Chang Yuchun, Chang Mao, Tu Xingsun, Huoling Shengsheng, Yu Yuan and other generals are heading to Jingzhou!
"Come here, pass my order to summon Xue Rengui, Chang Yuchun, Niu Demon King, Jiang Song, Chang Mao, Tu Xingsun, Fire Spirit Holy Mother, Yu Yuan, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun... and other generals."
