"Divide the troops into siege?" Gan Ning, who was on top of the city, frowned, turned to Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai and shouted: "Gong Yi, you lead five thousand men to the south gate! Youping! You lead five thousand men to the east city.
Gate! As for the west gate, well, let Dai Tou lead five thousand people!" There are enough defenders in the city now, but the problem is that there are not so many generals to guard the four gates. Jiang Qin and Zhou
Tai sent him to the south and east gates where there were more enemies, and selected one of the other lieutenants to go to the west gate. Of course, he would bring more soldiers and horses.
Upon hearing Gan Ning's allocation, Jiang Qin said to Gan Ning hesitantly: "Captain, you only have less than 5,000 people left here. Isn't it too dangerous? Only 3,000 people are enough for the final general!
"When Jiang Qin mentioned this, Zhou Tai and the deputy general named Dai Tou also proposed to reduce their troops. After all, there were the most enemies outside the North City Gate guarded by Gan Ning!
Gan Ning said nonchalantly: "No need, these five thousand people are enough! I see that among the generals outside the city, there is neither Sun Ce nor Taishi Ci. I don't take the other generals seriously! You guys
Just go ahead!”
Gan Ning had said so, and Jiang Qin and others could no longer persist. They could only obey Gan Ning's instructions. However, Jiang Qin and others secretly made up their minds to always pay attention to Gan Ning's movements. If Gan Ning
If Ning's side is out of troops, they will immediately send people to assist Gan Ning!
After Jiang Qin and others left with their troops, the city seemed much more relaxed. Gan Ning immediately set up a defense line on the city, preparing to welcome the enemy's attack. Outside the city, he saw an orderly arrangement on the city.
Zhou Yu couldn't help but nod his head, with approval in his eyes, and sighed: "Gan Ning is quite like a general. No wonder Luo Yang entrusted him with important tasks! This person cannot be used by Sun Wu, really."
pity!"
Sun Quan on the side also nodded in agreement and sighed: "The Western Qin army is full of talents. No wonder the Western Qin army has been invincible over the years. Not only Gan Ning, but also the two generals Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai under Gan Ning.
They are all rare talents! I heard that these two people were just water thieves wandering around the Yangtze River back then. I really can’t understand how Luo Yang could recognize so many talents!"
Hearing Sun Quan and Zhou Yu both praise the enemy general, Ling Tong, the young general behind Sun Quan, quit. He snorted coldly and said unconvinced: "My lord and Master Zhou praised the enemy general too much! Then Gan Ning
It's not like he has three heads and six arms! What's so great! Lord! Master Zhou! Let the last general go to the city and take Gan Ning's head! Oh, and that Jiang Qin!" As he said that, Ling Tong's eyes
The anger of hatred flashed through him.
Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, then remembered that it was Gan Ning who led the troops to surround Sun Ce's retreating troops outside the new county, and Ling Tong's father, Ling Cao, was killed by Jiang Qin's sword.
Exit! No wonder Ling Tong’s temper is a bit wrong. Zhou Yu originally wanted to stop Ling Tong, but when he looked back, he thought that even if it was a feint attack, he would at least send people to attack. They had to send people anyway, but
Why not just let Ling Tong do it! Zhou Yu immediately nodded and said: "Okay! Gongji, I will allocate you 8,000 troops to attack the city, but remember, your task is just a feint attack, to hold Gan Ning back.
Just keep the defense! Don't be impulsive! Once the city is breached, Gan Ning and Jiang Qin can be left to your disposal!" In the end, Zhou Yu did not forget to warn Ling Tong, lest he act impulsively and ruin his siege plan.
Ling Tong did not expect that Zhou Yu would actually agree to his request. He was overjoyed and agreed with Zhou Yu's instructions in his mind. He even clasped his fists at Zhou Yu and Sun Quan next to him and shouted: "Lord! Lord Zhou! Please don't worry! Please remember this, General."
Your Majesty's words!" After saying that, Ling Tong hurriedly gathered his troops and headed towards Guangling City to kill!
"Kill——!" As the war drums sounded, Sun Wu's soldiers and horses who were already in position at the four city gates began to attack at the same time. Looking down from the sky, Sun Wu's army outside Guangling City was like a black tide. From Guangling
People were swarming around the city. The defenders on top of the city showed no sign of fear. Under the command of their respective generals, they were carrying out defensive counterattacks!
Of course, the most indispensable weapon for defending the city is the bow and arrow! The Western Qin Dynasty has always valued the provision of war supplies, and the bows and arrows stored in Guangling City are absolutely sufficient! At the orders of their respective generals, countless arrows were directed towards
The arrows poured down outside the city, and those arrows fell in the military formation of Sun Wu's army outside the city. In the blink of an eye, many Sun Wu's soldiers were killed! However, those Sun Wu soldiers who were not hit by the arrows turned a blind eye to the threat of the arrows.
, gritted his teeth and continued to rush forward! Soon, ladders were set up on the city wall, and Sun Wu soldiers were densely packed, climbing on the ladders like ants and charging toward the city head.
Obviously, arrows alone cannot stop the enemy's attack. On the top of the city, the axemen and spearmen also began to help, throwing down the stones that had been prepared on the top of the city! The stones fell down.
, I was lucky and managed to avoid the stone, but I was not so lucky and was hit directly on the head by the stone, bleeding profusely, and fell from the ladder with a scream!
However, the screams and the smell of blood from their comrades further aroused the bloody passion of the surviving Sun Wu soldiers. They roared angrily, took over the positions vacated by their comrades at a faster speed, and continued to climb upward.
"Damn it! These guys are really not afraid of death!" Zhou Tai, who was guarding the east of the city, killed the first Sun Wu soldier who climbed to the top of the city with a sword. He spat and cursed. He shouted to the soldiers on the left and right:
"The swordsmen guard the right side! The spearmen guard the left side! The archers continue to launch attacks!" Although Zhou Tai is usually careless, he has been a general for such a long time, so he is still somewhat capable of commanding on the battlefield!
Under the command of Zhou Tai, the garrison soldiers were immediately divided into three parts. Zhou Tai himself guarded the middle with a group of personal soldiers. As long as an enemy climbed up to the top of the city, they would face the hacking and killing of Zhou Tai and others!
Chen Wu, who was commanding the battle outside the city, frowned, but soon felt relieved. His mission was just a feint attack, just to delay the defenders! Seeing that there were a lot of defenders on top of the city, this proved that his mission was
Well done! Immediately Chen Wu shouted to the herald behind him: "Order the soldiers to attack slowly! Don't advance too hastily!" Although Chen Wu had 7,000 men and horses in his hands, compared to the defenders on the city wall, they were still more powerful than the defenders on the city.
It is obviously unrealistic to rely on these people to break through the city gate. Although I feel a little distressed, now I can only waste the lives of the soldiers. I hope that good news will come from the west side of the city soon!
The same situation was going on at the East City Gate, but Jiang Qin, who was guarding the East City Gate, noticed something was wrong. He frowned and looked outside the city while slashing the enemy. Jiang Qin clearly felt that,
The enemies outside the city didn't seem to have any intention of attacking the city. This was too strange! Jiang Qin couldn't help but said to himself: "Tsk! If this continues, I'm afraid it will really take a day and a night!"
"That's not right!" Just when Jiang Qin thought of this, his eyes suddenly lit up and an idea flashed through his mind! He suddenly remembered Gan Ning's previous assignment of guarding various city gates, and suddenly turned his head and looked towards the west of the city behind him.
, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed: "Could it be that he is attacking from the east to the west?"
"General, be careful!" Jiang Qin was in a daze, and a Sun Wu soldier happened to climb up from outside the city. Seeing Jiang Qin dazed there, he naturally would not miss such a good opportunity, and pointed at Jiang Qin with a knife.
He jumped on him! Finally, a soldier next to Jiang Qin saw it and hurriedly threw Jiang Qin to the ground, narrowly escaping the enemy's attack! And soon, the soldiers on the left and right also discovered this situation.
They all raised their knives to chop away, and in a blink of an eye, they chopped the attacking Sun Wu soldiers into pulp!
"General! General! Are you okay?" Seeing that the danger was over, the soldier quickly climbed up from Jiang Qin, stretched out his hand to pull Jiang Qin up, and asked with concern.
Jiang Qin still looked shocked, shook his head and shouted: "Don't worry about me now! You! I will give you three thousand people! Guard here! Just be careful, there is no problem in guarding here! And you two! Go and notify immediately
The governor and General Zhou said that the west of the city is dangerous and asked them to support the west of the city at any time! The rest of you, follow me!" After assigning the task, Jiang Qin immediately led two thousand men and horses towards the west of the city. On top of the city
Only three thousand people were left. However, Jiang Qin was not too worried about the safety of the east of the city. If his guess was correct, as long as the defenders staying in the east of the city did not make big mistakes, there would be no danger at all!
Facts have proved that Jiang Qin's guess is not unfounded. At the top of the city, Sun Wu's army's attack has always been tepid, but in the west of the city, Sun Wu's army's attack can simply be described as crazy! Gan Ning was temporarily entrusted with important tasks.
Lieutenant General Dai Tou was not a talented general in terms of ability or martial arts. He was defeated by such a crazy attack by the enemy! If Gan Ning hadn't assigned enough soldiers and horses to him, I'm afraid the city would have been destroyed early.
It was captured by the enemy!
Jiang Qin arrived in time. When he rushed to the city, many Sun Wu soldiers had already rushed to the city and started hand-to-hand combat with the defenders! Seeing this scene, Jiang Qin was even more sure that his judgment was correct, and he said nothing.
, commanding the two thousand men and horses he brought to kill the enemies on the top of the city!
Fortunately, Jiang Qin arrived in time, and there were not many enemies who climbed up the city. With the reinforcements brought by Jiang Qin, the defenders who had been killed and demoralized once again regained their fighting spirit, and quickly drove away those enemies.
This further boosted the morale of the defenders on the city. Jiang Qin was not polite and immediately replaced Dai Tou and began to arrange the defense line on the city. The city, which was originally in danger, under Jiang Qin's command,
