There are also many more forces outside Jiangling City in the past few days, and their soldiers and horses are scattered on the periphery, and if they can calculate it, there will be five or six thousand people together.

They didn't hide it in the first place, and so many people couldn't hide it, so they stayed around like a bystander.

Changsun Sheng sent troops to deal with these people, but the other party ran away as soon as he passed, and even gave up the pursuit after several times.

Changsun Sheng knew that attacking Gangneung was his main task, and it didn't make much sense to continue to pursue those rabble.

On the city wall, Zhang Zhongjian had a bad feeling in his heart, and the soldiers and horses in the distance were black.

It's not always a fluke on the battlefield, even if they attacked the Horsemen not long ago, just think about how many losses they have.

The Riders weren't coming at them in the first place, even if the attack didn't have much effect on the Riders, but now it's different.

"Kill!"

The drums sounded under the city, and 200,000 soldiers and horses launched a charge, and the shields distributed around the stormtroopers and horses depended on luck whether they could defend against the arrows in the city.

However, the shield soldiers mainly protect the soldiers who carry ladders.

Ladders were soon erected around the walls.

Although there were some delays in the process of several ladders, which were resisted by the wooden sticks on the city wall and could not be erected in the first place, this did not affect the whole.

"General Zhang, the enemy's offensive is too fierce, let's let the last general protect you to the city."

The generals around Zhang Zhongjian are all members of his family, and they are all for his safety, if the city can't be defended, then they will protect Zhang Zhongjian from leaving as soon as possible.

"Hold on."

Zhang Zhongjian was unwilling to give up, Jiangling was the first city he had won, and it was impossible for him to be captured so easily.

The soldiers on the city wall were all fighting bravely to kill the enemy, falling rocks and bows and arrows, both sides were desperate, how could the commander leave at this time.

Zhang Zhongjian is here, the soldiers will not flinch, if he walks the next moment, the city gate may be opened, he is confident that he can resist it.

This time, Xiao Mo didn't have any confidence, knowing that these people were just here to deal with them, didn't they run and wait for someone to take the flag.

Although he was ambitious, he was not a military general after all, and he did not hesitate to wait for someone to escort him away.

Changsun Sheng looked at the soldiers who were besieging the city with great casualties, and he was not moved at all, saying that the siege must be taken.

What does it matter if he loses soldiers and horses, what he wants is victory, and he will succeed in ten thousand bones.

"General Changsun, the battle damage is a bit serious, do you want the soldiers to withdraw for repairs?"

"What are you doing with the retreat, do you want the enemy to have a breather?"

Cold sweat broke out on the head of the deputy general who spoke, and everyone could know that he didn't know what it meant, if it was really taken out by Changsun Sheng to say something, he couldn't afford it, so he hurriedly explained.

"The last general said the wrong thing, please forgive the general."

Faced with an unfamiliar general, the adjutant general could only relent, knowing that if he did not act according to Changsun Sheng's orders, he might not end well.

"Order down, add another 50,000 people, and Gangneung City must be broken today." Changsun Sheng said with a cold face.

The adjutant general's back is in a cold sweat, and the current situation has already lost 20,000 people, and he still doesn't know how many people will be killed or wounded.

If it were replaced by other generals, they would not be able to bear such a big loss.

But Chang Sun Sheng didn't seem to care.

Seeing his resolute attitude, the adjutant general could only carry it out, otherwise he would be the first unlucky person.

Changsun Sheng didn't care, he cared very much, from the first time he saw Gangneung City, he knew that this battle was definitely not that simple.

Now just like he led his troops to attack Chang'an City, he knew for the first time how high the walls of Jiangling were, and Emperor Yang of Sui and some officials had seen it.

In this way, even if he consumes 200,000 soldiers and horses, he must take the city, he knows that the emperor and the court want to see victory too much, and his eldest grandson Sheng also needs victory.

At this time, the Jiangling soldiers on the city wall had already begun to be unable to deal with it, and they suddenly climbed up.

All the stones were gone, and the bows and arrows were still there, but the archers had no strength.

"General Zhang, let's go."

Zhang Zhongjian insisted that the losses of the Jiangling soldiers were very large, and there were also many kills, and if the base was compared, it was Changsun Sheng's soldiers and horses that suffered more serious losses.

Usually at this time, when the soldiers and horses besieging the city will give up after a certain loss, Zhang Zhongjian's insistence is to wait for the other party to retreat.

As long as they retreat, they still have the ability to fight, but the current situation is beyond his imagination.

"General Zhang."

Zhang Zhongjian was speechless at this time, he knew that Jiangling City could not be defended.

I can only leave with the people around me.

After Xiao Mo left Jiangling, he had to ask people to inquire about the situation from time to time, and he was very anxious.

"The head of the family, General Zhang's people have followed."

The big stone in Xiao Miao's heart fell, and the whole person was a lot easier, he knew very well that he had no problem managing the city, and he was not good at leading troops to fight.

If Zhang Zhongjian really can't come back, he will really be worried, and he will have to start from scratch when he goes to the south to work hard, and everything he planned before will have to change.

He was even more troubled by the forces that came to him.

If there is Zhang Zhongjian, the speed of expansion of power will be very fast, and the relationship and connections of the Zhang family in the south are very customary.

It's just that in that case, the balance between the two sides will be broken before, and Zhang Zhongjian may be the main one after that.

Xiao Mo knows this very well.

After losing Jiangling, he didn't want the court to have a good time, so he let people spread the news of the mausoleum when they were about to leave.

This attracted the prying eyes of various forces, so that so many people were dispatched.

It was not so simple for Changsun Sheng to take over Gangneung, and he paid a great price to take the city.

The soldiers and horses trained by Zhang Zhongjian did not choose to give in.

After breaking through the city gate, Changsun Sheng was in a very bad mood, and more than 80,000 people were lost by 200,000 soldiers and horses.

The news of the imperial court's re-takeover of Jiangling soon spread throughout the state capitals of the Sui State, but Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was not very happy at this time.

Not to mention the huge loss, the matter of the mausoleum made Xiao Mo spread it, and he specially sent a full-time craftsman to decipher it, but after digging up the mausoleum, he found that there was nothing in it.

"Damn."

That's right, Emperor Yang of Sui was the same as everyone thought, and the treasure was taken away by Xiao Mo and others.

The major forces all knew about this after many investigations, and the news spread by Xiao Mo was that the wealth was broken before he could take the city, and he didn't have time to escape and didn't take it at all.

On the contrary, Changsun Sheng found the mausoleum as soon as possible and ordered people to guard it with heavy troops, but as for what he said, no one believed it.

The result is confusing and even more reverie.
