Just when the war in Yanzhou was extremely fierce, outside Nanyang City in Jingzhou, a battle that no one expected was going on!
"Kill--!" The shouts of killing kept ringing at the top of the city and under the city wall. Outside the city, countless soldiers in yellow armor were rushing towards the city wall to attack. Countless flags were erected in the military formation. Most of them have the character "Sun", which is the military flag of Sun Jian, the Jiangdong tiger who dominates the southeast!
In front of another military formation not far outside the city, several military generals were riding war horses, standing there with their heads held high, looking at the battle on the city wall in the distance. The leader was a man, about 20 years old, and long. What a majestic figure, it was Sun Ce, the eldest son of Sun Jian! Looking at the battle under the city wall in front, Sun Ce looked extremely excited and eager to try. Fortunately, there was a veteran beside him, but it was Huang Gai, who had followed Sun Jian for many years. When he saw Sun Ce looked like he was trying to persuade him: "Young Master! You must not go up in this siege! My lord told me before leaving that you must listen to the general this time! Don't be impulsive!"
"Uh!" Sun Ce, who was still excited at first, suddenly became crestfallen after hearing what Huang Gai said. However, he did not dare to disobey his father's instructions. He could only follow Huang Gai's words and stay here honestly. . However, Sun Ce muttered: "Dong Xi is so useless, he can't even capture the city! What a shame! If it were me, I wouldn't take even an hour to keep Nanyang City." Down!"
Although Sun Ce's muttering was low, Huang Gai still heard it really, even with a wry smile on his face. When the lord appointed him to guard Sun Ce before coming to attack Nanyang this time, those old guys were very envious. But who knew that this was such a hard job! Huang Gai wasted a lot of energy just to keep Sun Ce, the young ancestor, from getting into trouble. How could he still have the energy to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?
This time Sun Jian responded to Cao Cao's agreement and sent troops to besiege Luoyang, which was deep in Yanzhou. However, Sun Jian did not send troops to Yanzhou according to the agreement with Cao Cao. Instead, he directly asked Sun Ce, Huang Gai and others to lead troops to attack Nanyang! If he had followed the agreement with Cao Cao, It would be very inconvenient for Sun Jian to send troops to Yanzhou. Not only would he have to guard against Luo Yang, but he would also have to guard against Cao Cao's evil intentions. But now as long as Nanyang succeeds, Luoyang's way back to Jingzhou will be completely blocked! Sun Jian can also take this opportunity to go south in a big way and directly take Luo Yang's power for his own use! Huang Gai's mind couldn't help but think of that elegant, woman-like young man. Thanks to him, the lord was able to do what he did With such a wise decision, and with his help, the Lord will surely achieve hegemony in the future, which will be just around the corner!
Thinking of this, Huang Gai raised his head and looked forward, but couldn't help but frown. The strength of Nanyang City was beyond Huang Gai's expectation! This time, Sun Jian mobilized nearly 7,000 troops from Yuzhou and Yangzhou. This is the best effort Sun Jian can do! After all, Sun Jian has just broken up with the Jiangdong family and has to deploy many troops to guard Jiangdong. Gan Ning's Jingzhou navy has also been disappearing on the Yangtze River during this period. Sun Jian also had to guard against it! However, according to previous intelligence, there should be less than 2,000 defenders in Nanyang City. This time, Sun Ce and Huang Gai led the 7,000 men to attack Nanyang City, which should be enough!
But the problem is that since Sun Jian's army launched an attack on Nanyang City three days ago, until now, Nanyang City has never shown any sign of being breached! Such a strong defensive ability made Huang Gai couldn't help but be surprised, and he began to guess this
Who is the guard of Nanyang City?
Just when Huang Gai was worried about Nanyang City's strong defense, Le Jin, whose face was already stained with dust, was calmly directing the defenders to launch a counterattack against the soldiers under the city wall. Since Luoyang
After leading the army north to Yanzhou, Le Jin became the remaining general in Jingzhou! Le Jin heard the report from the scouts that Sun Jian had made a big move, so he hurried to Nanyang to garrison. Fortunately, Le Jin came in in time and wanted to
Otherwise, if Nanyang is captured by Sun Jian's army, the consequences will be disastrous!
But even if Le Jin arrived in time, the situation in Nanyang is still not optimistic! Luo Yang had already mobilized nearly half of Jingzhou's troops in order to go north. Now the remaining troops in various counties in Jingzhou are already very tight, and Le Jin is not able to
Dare to mobilize troops and horses easily. And with less than 2,000 defenders in the city, Le Jin didn't have much confidence in resisting the enemy army of more than 7,000 people outside the city. What's more, after these days of fighting,
Le Jin knew that the enemy generals outside the city were no ordinary opponents! If Le Jin hadn't relied on those weird devices left behind when Luo Yang resisted the Yellow Turban Army, Nanyang City would have been breached!
"Hold it! A small group of archers will go over to the left! Stone! Move the stone to the right! Everyone hold it! The enemy can no longer hold on! After blocking this wave of attacks, we can rest!" Le Jin
He yelled at the soldiers on the left and right at the top of his lungs, not only to command the soldiers to defend the city, but also to cheer them up. Otherwise, the morale of the soldiers would be weakened, and the city would be even less able to be defended!
However, Le Jin's judgment was still correct. After holding on for nearly half an hour, the sound of gold finally sounded outside the city, and the enemy troops outside the city were slowly retreating. After seeing all the enemies retreat with his own eyes, Le Jin
Jin was relieved, and when he shouted to the soldiers on the left and right: "Follow the old rules! The seventh team stayed to clean up the battlefield! The third team and the fourth team continued to garrison the city head! The other teams went down to the city head to rest! But they are not allowed to do so.
Take off your armor! Do you understand?"
"Here!" All the soldiers shouted in unison. A few years ago, when Luo Yang reorganized the four legions, he set up this squad system. Each squad has more than a hundred people, and the four legions are composed of
Such teams are formed one by one! In this way, it is easier for the generals to command. This clear military system is also one of the main reasons why Le Jin can persist until now!
After the arrangements were made, Le Jin did not withdraw from the city wall immediately. Instead, he simply leaned against the city wall, squinting his eyes and resting. Now that the war was so intense, Le Jin had not gone down to the city wall to rest all day and night.
Thanks to Le Jin's strong bones, if an ordinary person could not endure it, he would probably collapse long ago.
"General! Master Cheng is here!" But this time Le Jin hadn't rested for a moment when he heard the call of the soldiers beside him. Le Jin immediately opened his eyes and looked up to see Cheng Yu smiling.
The ground walked towards this side.
As a think tank under Luo Yang, Cheng Yu has been stationed in Jingzhou all year round to assist Huang Zhong. This time when Sun Jian's army attacked, Cheng Yu certainly would not stand by and watch. Just the day before yesterday, Cheng Yu quietly sneaked into Nanyang with dozens of soldiers.
Cheng! Le Jin knew that Cheng Yu was as resourceful as Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia, so he was very happy that Cheng Yu could come to Nanyang to help. He also hoped that Cheng Yu could come up with a way to rescue him!
Immediately, Le Jin hurried forward to greet Cheng Yu, bowed to Cheng Yu, and said: "Master Cheng! Why did you come to the top of this city! It is very dangerous here, sir, you should go down to the top of the city first! Yes.
If you ask the general about anything, just send someone to tell him!"
Cheng Yu waved his hand with a smile and said: "It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter! The enemy has retreated! General Le has really worked hard these days! If General Le hadn't been here, I'm afraid this Nanyang City would have been a long time ago.
It was defeated by Sun Jian’s army!”
"Master Cheng, you are so polite!" Le Jin clasped his fists at Cheng Yu and said, "Le Jin has received the kindness of my lord, but he has never been able to repay it! My lord entrusted Jingzhou to me, how dare I not try my best? It's just Sun Jian's.
There are really too many troops, and I'm a little worried that if this continues, it may be difficult for us to defend Nanyang!"
Le Jin's worries are not unreasonable. After these days of hard fighting, although Sun Jian's army has not been able to break through the city, the price paid is huge! The two thousand defenders have now been reduced to nearly half! If there is no more
If there are reinforcements, I'm afraid that Nanyang City won't be able to defend it!
Regarding these, Cheng Yu knew everything in his heart, and immediately nodded and said: "I understand this situation as well! But please don't worry, General Le. Before heading north this time, my lord had already anticipated that Sun Jian might come for a sneak attack, so
We have arranged a troop of troops in Jingzhou a long time ago! Before I came to Nanyang, I had already sent someone to notify the leading general of the troops. I think reinforcements will arrive in a few days!"
This news was nothing short of the best encouragement for Le Jin. Hearing it, Le Jin’s whole body cheered up! When he heard it, he laughed and said, “Ah! If that’s the case, that’s really great!
By the way! Mr. Cheng, I wonder who will lead this army?" This time Luo Yang went north, but he took many people with him, even Liu Pi and Gong Du were taken away, and those familiar to Le Jin were also taken away.
Only one Wenpin remained, but he was left behind in Hanzhong. And if it was Wenpin, it might not be realistic to rush here from Hanzhong!
Cheng Yu smiled and said: "Haha, the troops left behind by the lord this time are General Gao Shun of the Mao Blade Army, as well as the Mao Blade Army's trapped camp and Mao Blade Qingqi!"
Upon hearing Cheng Yu's answer, Le Jin almost jumped up and asked with surprise on his face: "It turned out to be General Gao Shun's trapping camp and Mao Blade Qingqi? Oh my God! This, this is really great! They are not
Have you been taken to Yanzhou by your lord? Why are you still staying in Jingzhou? Hahahaha! With such a supporting army! The enemy troops outside the city will be in bad luck this time!" Le Jin became more and more excited as he spoke.
, while looking at the enemy camp in the distance outside the city, a trace of pleasure flashed in his eyes! Apparently he had been beaten too hard by the opponent during this period, and he finally had a chance to take revenge!
