When night fell, Taishi Ci did not withdraw his troops but stepped up his efforts to attack the city. Thirty thousand Jiangdong soldiers and horses attacked Youxian in wave after wave. Thousands of torches were lit, illuminating Youxian like daylight.
Taishi Ci was very angry. It had been two days since he arrived in You County, but he had not captured a small You County. At first, it was normal for him to hold back and not capture You County, but after a day of fierce fighting, he finally used
Even Jinglan failed to capture You County, which made him feel more and more uneasy.
He naturally knows how long the army's morale can last. Three days at most, that is, if you cannot capture Youxian today, there will be only the last day tomorrow. He is not used to pinning his hopes on the last day, because the longer the time, the more time it takes.
The more variables there are, the more factors that affect victory.
At this time, after a day of fierce fighting, the soldiers and horses in the city were exhausted and unable to withstand their attack. This was his best opportunity to capture You County.
"Kill! If anyone attacks the city, I will recommend him to join the lord's personal guard." Taishi Ci looked at the fierce battle and added fire to the battlefield.
When the soldiers of Jiangdong heard Taishi Ci's shouting, they gritted their teeth and rushed towards the city one by one. Sun Ce's personal guards are the pride of Jiangdong. Those who can join the personal guards are all the best of the best, and they are selected layer by layer.
, eliminated step by step, leaving only one in ten thousand.
Joining the Guards not only symbolizes pride, but also means that you will have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life. Even if you die in battle, your family will be raised by Sun Ce. This is handled by Sun Ce himself, and no one dares to be greedy. Now there is Taishi Ci.
His recommendation would undoubtedly increase his chances of joining the Guards, and no one would let this opportunity pass him by.
Huo Jun and others on the city felt the pressure suddenly increased, and had to encourage the soldiers repeatedly to drive Jiangdong's troops out of the city. Liu Pan wielded his sword and cut down the soldiers in front of him, threw it down the city wall and said to Huo Jun: "General Huo is like this
No, within two hours we will be too tired to pick up weapons, and by then we will have no choice but to be slaughtered."
Huo Jun nodded and said: "Yes, there are too many soldiers and horses in Jiangdong. If we start a wheel battle, we really won't be able to hold on. Now the soldiers are killing the enemy with one breath. If time goes on, no one can hold on.
You County is probably in danger."
Huo Jun knew that Taishi had been using wheel battles to defeat them all day long, but the soldiers and horses in the city took turns to rest and blocked Taishi Ci's attack. Now Taishi Ci was gambling. He was betting that all the soldiers and horses in the city were already on the city.
There were no more soldiers and horses to replace them. Huo Jun had to admit that he was right in betting that there were indeed no soldiers and horses in the city to replace them. Even the scouts were recruited by Huo Jun to defend the city.
Although Ma Liang usually likes to wear Confucian robes, today he also wore armor and killed people without mercy. He swung his sword and stabbed an enemy to death. Ma Liang said to Huo Jun: "General Huo, you haven't rested all day, so you'd better go down and rest first."
Let's take a moment. Although Taishi Ci's attack is fierce now, we can still defend it. If we all collapse after a while, no one will be able to resist Jiangdong's army. Then Taishi Ci will definitely keep an eye on the city at this time and will attack if we relax even a little bit.
In the final attack, he may even fight in person."
Hearing Ma Liang's words, Liu Pan nodded and said: "General Huo, you and General Su go down to rest first. If you can't hold on for a while, you guys will be on top." When Su Fei, who was killing people crazily, heard this, he shouted: "I won't go down.
, I want to avenge my brothers."
Huo Jun heard Liu Pan's words and looked at the battlefield. Knowing that Ma Liang was right, he pulled Su Fei to the side. At the same time, half of the city guards were resting with them at the city wall not far away. They were leaning against the city wall.
Then he pays attention to the battlefield. If there is any movement, he will immediately join the battlefield.
When Huo Jun and others left, the already nervous defense of the city was even more stretched. Liu Pan and Ma Liang came to the troops on both sides to kill the enemies who rushed to the city. The two kept running back and forth wherever the defense line was weak.
Where to go.
Taishi Ci looked at the chaos that appeared on the city from time to time and chuckled. He already knew that the city could no longer be defended. As long as he worked hard, he could capture You County. This time Jiangdong wanted more than You County.
The entire Jingxiang land of thousands of miles.
As long as You County is captured, Jiangdong's army will definitely appear in You County in a steady stream. Attack Jingzhou from You County, and then annex Jingzhou, then Sun Ce will be able to dominate the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, Liu Biao will be the meat on the board waiting for Sun Ce.
Slaughter, for Liu Biao, who had the hatred of killing his father, Sun Ce would naturally not show mercy. He had already said that he would personally take off Liu Biao's head to worship his father.
Using You County as a springboard to swallow up Jingzhou and then dominate the south of the Yangtze River, Sun Ce will be the largest prince in the country and unification of the world will be just around the corner. This was Sun Ce's suggestion to Governor Zhou Yu when he convened the ministers for discussion. Although Zhou Yu was only in his twenties, he had great prestige in Jiangdong.
No one can match him except Sun Ce, not even Zhang Zhao, who was trusted by Sun Ce.
Zhou Yu not only has outstanding literary talent and handsome appearance, but his military skills and strategies are unparalleled in Jiangdong. He and Sun Ce grew up together and became brothers, so he assisted Sun Ce in his struggle to dominate the world.
Although Taishi Ci was conceited that he had few enemies when commanding troops in the world today, he sincerely admired Zhou Yu. In the whole plan, Youxian County was crucial, but Jiangdong harassed Youxian County all the year round, just to make Youxian County relax its vigilance.
It is convenient for Jiangdong to suddenly launch an attack to seize Youxian County. But now a small Youxian County has blocked the army for two days. Does he know that General Zhengnan's troops are in Linxiang? As long as they get the news and get here, their plan will be possible.
It can no longer be achieved.
Thinking that Taishi Ci would never be able to calm down again, looking at a wave of soldiers who had already attacked the city, he once again mobilized two teams of soldiers and horses to attack the city. He had decided that if he still could not capture You County, he would go out to fight in person and take it as soon as possible.
I went to You County to avoid long nights and many dreams.
The sudden increase in the number of siege soldiers forced Liu Pan and others who were defending the city to face twice or even three times the number of enemies. Liu Pan had long thrown his sword and stabbed the three people in front of him, and the three people watched.
Liu Pan's eyes flashed fiercely and he slashed at Liu Pan with a big sword. Liu Pan sideways avoided the three big swords and stabbed the soldiers in front of him to death. Then he pulled out his sword and struck at the other two soldiers who were in a daze.
The two soldiers immediately woke up and roared towards Liu Pan. They were a little angry at the death of their companions. However, Liu Pan would not fight with them. He had already noticed that on the surrounding city walls, there were more and more soldiers and horses from Jiangdong, and the city wall was gradually becoming undefendable.
He stopped. He casually cut off the heads of two soldiers, and Liu Pan shouted to Huo Jun: "General Huo."
Before Liu Pan could call out to Huo Jun and others, they had already rushed forward. They had already noticed the changes in the city. Seeing that Liu Pan and others could no longer defend, they quickly came to support. The addition of Huo Jun and others temporarily stabilized the defense line.
Together with Liu Pan and others, they drove back the Jiangdong soldiers and horses, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.
Taishi Ci frowned a little as he watched the battle on the city. His hand had already grasped the sword at his waist, ready to draw it out and rush to the battlefield. When he saw Jiangdong's soldiers and horses being repelled here, he slowly drew it out.
The sword is about to rush towards the battlefield.
At this moment, nearly ten thousand torches suddenly lit up outside Youxian City, illuminating the night in the distance. Twenty thousand troops slowly walked towards Youxian, and the momentum they brought was like a landslide and tsunami, making the originally fierce
The battlefield also became quiet.
A voice sounded in the dark night and spread throughout the battlefield calmly and calmly: "I didn't expect that the soldiers of You County persisted for so long. Xu's late arrival made the soldiers suffer."
On the city wall of You County, Su Fei and other troops from Linxiang heard the sound and shouted excitedly: "It's the military advisor. The military advisor has arrived. You County is saved."
Immediately after, everyone on the city walls of You County cheered. In the cheers, Xu Shu, dressed in white Confucian robes, rode out of the dark night on a white horse. Although he was dressed as a scholar, his high-spirited momentum was overwhelming.
With thousands of troops and horses, that calm voice and calm eyes seemed to have taken control of the entire battlefield, deciding the life and death of thousands of people.
Taishi Ci looked at Xu Shu and his eyes narrowed. He saw in Xu Shu the temperament that only Zhou Yu had. He didn't dare to neglect and clasped his fists quickly and asked: "Taishici of Jiangdong, dare I ask you your name?"
Xu Shu looked at Taishi Ci with a flash of appreciation in his eyes and said: "Haha, I'm going to ask Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi, the military advisor of the Southern Army."
When he heard that Xu Shu had returned to Taishi Ci, he nodded and said, "Thank you sir for informing me. I'll take my leave."
After saying that, no matter Xu Shu organized his troops and left, Xu Shu did not give Tai Shi Ci any trouble from the beginning to the end.
