(There are only two updates today, don’t wait any longer, there’s something going on tonight!)
"Siege the city!"
Sun Ce shouted loudly, and the Jiangdong soldiers who were approaching Jiangxia City suddenly started to move. Their murderous intent increased steadily with the rapid beating of war drums, and it reached its peak not long after.
At the same time, Jiangdong's soldiers from the west gate and east gate also rushed towards Jiangxia City at high speed. Besieged from three sides, the situation in Jiangxia City looked extremely grim.
The Feilong Army was already ready when the war drums were beating outside the city. When they mobilized their troops in Jiangdong outside the city to encircle them, the Feilong Army in the city were also scattered on the four towers of Jiangxia City.
Wenpin personally led the Feilong Army to guard the south gate, echoing Sun Ce outside the city. At the west gate and east gate, Wenpin selected more than ten young generals from the Feilong Army to guard the two gates. These more than ten young generals may be far more powerful than
Without Zhou Tai and Han Dang, but they defended the city, and Wenpin had a clear division of labor for them, and led the elite Feilong Army, it was not too difficult to defend the city.
The most important thing is that most of the tens of thousands of troops attacking Jiangxia this time were attracted to the south gate. The pressure on these ten or so young generals was not great, while the civil servants at the north gate of Xiangyang City were handed over to Chen, Jiangxia's former general.
Chen Sheng led two thousand Jiangxia garrison to guard the north gate mainly to guard against sneak attacks by Jiangdong troops.
Wenpin had already handed over all the situation in Jiangxia City to Zhuge Liang. In addition, Wenpin also left Jiangxia general Zhang Hu and five thousand Jiangxia defenders.
The thundering drums resounded through the sky, and the entire Jiangxia City was enveloped in the drumming. The people in the city seemed to have adapted to such drums, so when they shouted for death outside the city, the people in the city returned one by one.
At home, the door is closed and no one cares.
"Military advisor, what do you think?" Ma Liang put down the bamboo slips in his hand and looked at Zhuge Liang and asked.
"Haha, don't worry, General Wen can handle it." Zhuge Liang said with a slight smile. Even Liu Qi has praised Wenpin's talents more than once. These days, he knows Wenpin better in Jiangxia City. According to Wenpin's talents,
It is not difficult to defend Jiangxia.
In addition to the 10,000 Feilong Army, there are now 10,000 Jiangxia garrison in the city, which is far inferior to the 40,000 Jiangdong army outside the city, but it is not difficult to defend the city.
"I just don't know what's going on with Xiangyang now? But my lord is not weak, so Cai Hao and the others have nothing to fear. I'm just worried about the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Cai Hao's command. I don't know how my lord will deal with it?" Zhuge Liang said with some worry on his face.
, Cai Mao and others' tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can have unexpected effects if used properly, but forceful self-repression may even lead to mutiny.
"Don't worry, military advisor, my lord will not make such a mistake." Ma Liang had been following Liu Qi for a long time, and Liu Qi was not 100% sure that he would not move those tens of thousands of troops.
"I hope so. As long as we persist through today, Jiangdong's troops will naturally retreat. By then, we may have to return to Xiangyang." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said.
On the tower of Jiangxia City, Wenpin was wearing armor and looked at the approaching Jiangdong soldiers with cold eyes. In fact, Jiangxia County was not as defenseless as it seemed. The Feilong Army had 20,000 troops plus the original 30,000 Jiangxia soldiers.
The defenders had a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses. Although they were not as good as Jiangdong, they were still capable of fighting.
However, this time Jiangdong not only had 100,000 troops, but almost all of Jiangdong's famous generals arrived. Wenpin was not sure of repelling Jiangdong's army, so he retreated to the city to look for opportunities. But retreating to the city meant that everything about the Feilong Army
All movements are under the surveillance of Jiangdong's army, making it extremely difficult to find opportunities.
If the Feilong Guard broke into the Jiangdong army camp at night and harassed the Jiangdong army, there would be a chance. However, the Feilong Guard was sent by Zhuge Liang, so Wen Pincai went to see Zhuge Liang to ask him for help.
"Fire the arrow!"
Boo hoo hoo…
Seeing that it was almost done, Wenpin gave an order. The Feilong Army, which had been standing quietly on the city, immediately bent down to draw arrows, and shot into the sky with their hard bows. Then, arrows all over the sky fell, and they were about to hit the charging Jiangdong soldiers.
The momentum was suppressed.
Ahhhhhhh…………
The screams continued, and soldiers continued to be shot and fell under the arrows of the Feilong Army's archers. However, Jiangdong's soldiers were in great momentum. Although they were suppressed by the Feilong Army's bows and arrows, each one of them still went towards them desperately.
They rushed down Jiangxia City.
Wenpin, who was on top of the city tower, was not surprised by this. Instead, he waved his hand and the flying dragon army behind him quickly ran away. After a while, huge stones were thrown into the air and fell towards the city.
"Get out of the way!"
The soldiers who were charging below the city were so frightened that they hurriedly hid aside when they saw huge rocks hitting their heads.
Boom boom boom...
Ahhhh...
The boulder fell and rolled down everywhere with thick dust. Once the surrounding soldiers were touched by the boulder, they were either killed or injured. A famous soldier was crushed into meat pie during the rolling of the boulder, and the ladder carried by the soldiers also fell on the boulder.
It was crushed into pieces.
………………………………………………………………..
For half an hour, Wenpin, who was on top of the city tower, calmly directed the Feilong sergeants to throw down arrows and roll down rolling stones from time to time. When the ladder was raised to the city, the hot oil on the island, Jiangdong
The army suffered heavy losses. In just half an hour, more than 500 people were lost and nearly a thousand were injured.
In this half an hour, Jiangdong soldiers did not even climb the wall of Jiangxia City Tower, leaving more than 500 corpses under Jiangxia City.
Not far away, Sun Ce has been paying attention to the situation on the battlefield. At this time, Sun Ce's face also changed from the initial confidence to a gloomy look. The Feilong sergeants on the tower have not suffered any casualties yet, but his own army has suffered losses.
Tragic. Although a thousand soldiers is nothing, it can also illustrate a problem. If you want to attack Jiangxia City, you have to pay a serious price.
He had already sent people to investigate just now, and the same was true at the other two city gates. Although the battle there was not as brutal as here, the Feilong Army on the city tower was also orderly, leaving Jiangdong soldiers and horses without any opportunity to take advantage of it.
The dozen or so generals behind Sun Ce were all pale-faced at this time. Just now they had laughed at Lu Su for talking nonsense, but they didn't expect that their strengths and weaknesses had already been revealed in just half an hour.
It is impossible for the Feilong Army to capture the city within a short period of time. Even if the manholes behind the army are sent up, it will not have much effect. The manholes can temporarily suppress the Feilong Army on the tower, but if you want to take advantage of the opportunity,
Taking the city was even more difficult.
"Lord?" Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce and said.
"Gong Jin, do you have any idea? If this continues, even if we capture Jiangxia City, our Jiangdong army will suffer heavy losses. How will we be able to resist Jingzhou's reinforcements by then?" Sun Ce's face was gloomy, and his brows were full of worry.
"My lord, why not use the well fence behind the army to suppress the Feilong Army in the city? When the time comes, Wenpin will definitely transfer the soldiers and horses in the city to the south gate to support, and then we can take the opportunity to attack the north gate." Zhou Yu thought for a while and said.
, Although Zhou Yu said this, Zhou Yu did not hold out much hope. How could Wenpin be unprepared if he acted cautiously? There is no solution within a solution.
"Okay." Sun Ce immediately turned to look at Lu Meng, Chen Wudao: "You two will lead five thousand personal guards to the north gate and sneak attack on the north gate half an hour later."
"No." Lu Meng and Chen Wu immediately led five thousand personal guards and rushed to the west gate and east gate in two groups.
"Use the well railing!" Sun Ce said to the messenger behind him.
"promise."
Not long after, the manholes behind the army started to move, and along the road given by the army, more than ten manholes slowly approached Jiangxia City.
"Go up to the manhole railing!" A command was given to the next group of soldiers holding bows and arrows, and they climbed up the manhole railing along the steps.
Wenpin, who was on top of the city tower, snorted coldly when he saw this, turned around and gave several orders to the soldiers behind him. Before the soldiers on the well fence were ready, huge stones were thrown from the top of the city tower.
This time, the boulder did not hit the soldiers at the bottom of the city, but went straight towards the wellrail where more than ten of them had just stopped.
The soldiers who had just climbed onto the manhole railing were all pale with fright when they saw this. The manhole railing was built extremely high and extremely strong, but it was simply vulnerable in front of such a huge boulder. Once the manhole railing was hit by a boulder, it would immediately collapse.
If it collapses, the soldiers on the well railing will also suffer.
Boom!
A huge boulder hit a manhole railing, and the manhole railing immediately fell apart due to the impact of the boulder. The manhole railing, which was more than ten meters high, did not last long before it suddenly collapsed.
Ahhhhhhh…………
The soldiers above the manhole were not spared either. They either fell off the manhole or were crushed below. More than half of the hundreds of soldiers above the manhole were immediately killed or injured.
Boom!!
Another manhole railing was hit, the manhole railing collapsed, and screams could not be heard.
Boom! Boom!…
The boulders continued to fall. In the first wave of boulders alone, three manhole rails were hit, and Jiangdong soldiers suffered heavy casualties.
Boom!! Boom!!
Not long after, the second wave of boulders fell again, and two more manhole rails were hit, killing and injuring the soldiers on the manhole rails.
"Get back!" Sun Ce looked at the collapsed manhole with red eyes and shouted angrily.
In just a quarter of an hour, all the soldiers on the manhole railings were withdrawn, but the remaining manhole railings were heavy and difficult to remove quickly. Under the continuous blows from the boulders, only three of the more than ten manhole railings were intact.
.
"I don't believe how long a small Jiangxia can hold on. Give me another three thousand troops and attack!" Sun Ce said with a ferocious expression.
"Lord, calm down! The Feilong Army can do this in a short time, but as time goes by, they will naturally not have the strength to fight again. As long as the lord continues to attack day and night, Jiangxia City can be captured in three days." Zhang Hong saw Sun Ce like this.
He hurriedly advised.
"Yes, the morale of the Feilong Army is at its peak now, and they have been recharging their strength in the city for such a long time. A fierce attack at this time will only cause more heavy losses to Jiangdong's soldiers. As long as the continuous attacks exhaust the strength of the Feilong Army, they can capture the city.
Jiangxia City can be easily conquered." Lu Fan, a general on the side, also persuaded Sun Ce.
"My lord, please be patient. Two generals, Lu Meng and Chen Wu, have already gone to the north gate. I think they will be able to surprise the Jiangxia defenders and cause heavy losses to them." Zhou Yu also bowed and advised.
