Chapter 1460: Cai Mao

This is the third time that Yue Fei has attacked the generals, and after the previous two failures, Yue Fei has carefully and meticulously studied the city defense of Jiangling, and his understanding of Jiangling City has definitely reached a terrifying level.

Deng Yu is the Taishou of Nanjun appointed by Liu Xiu, but even his understanding of Jiangling City may not be comparable to Yue Fei, who is an outsider.

After Deng Yu took over the defense of Jiangling, he immediately made changes to the defense, no more than the last arrangement Yue Fei had already seen, if he didn't change, he would definitely be targeted by Yue Fei.

Deng Yu's idea is not wrong, the fault is that he did not change it thoroughly enough, he just made adjustments according to Liu Xiu's arrangement, but the core is still the set left by Liu Xiu.

Yue Fei didn't know Liu Xiu's arrangement well, but he already knew a little bit about it, and Deng Yu only adjusted the defense, and did not change the core arrangement left by Liu Xiu, which was also in Yue Fei's arms.

Under Yue Fei's personal command to attack the city, the Qin army always pointed at the weak points of the Chu army, and there were also a number of fierce generals who rushed to assault, as well as many sharp weapons such as catapults, wells, fire and oil bombs, etc., so they could play a record of offensive and defensive casualties close to one to one.

Deng Yu also sensed that there was a problem with the defense, Yue Fei knew everything about the general's defense, if it weren't for the fact that the defense was laid out by him personally, and he didn't tell anyone, he would have suspected that there were secret agents of the Qin army around him.

Now that the war has begun, it is impossible for Deng Yu to change the deployment on the spot, not to mention that it is not too late, even if it is too late, Yue Fei will not give him a chance, and the result will definitely be even worse.

Under the fierceness of the Qin army for fifteen consecutive days, the Qin army suffered 12,000 casualties and 3,000 auxiliary soldiers, while the Chu army was also uncomfortable, losing nearly 10,000 troops.

The Qin army, which has a rich family, has a total strength of 600,000 troops, and the loss of 10,000 or 20,000 troops will soon be able to make up for it.

But the Chu army is different, the Chu army, which has a total of only 150,000 troops, is now fighting against the princes of the four roads at the same time, and if it fights with the Qin army, it will completely drag down the Chu army, and it is impossible to hurt the Qin army.

There were only 40,000 defenders in Gangneung City, and a quarter of the 150,000 defenders were lost, and the losses of the strong men who assisted in defending the city were also very large, which also greatly reduced the morale of the whole army.

Deng Yu realized that it would not work like this, if he didn't want to find a way to solve it, Jiangling City would be broken sooner or later, after all, the Chu army couldn't fight the Qin army.

Before the war, Liu Xiu gave Deng Yu 40,000 troops and asked Deng Yu to hold on for a year.

Originally, Deng Yu thought that with 40,000 main forces in hand, and there was a strong city like Jiangling, it would not be a problem to hold Yue Fei for a year under the defense of the city.

A year later, the lord Liu Xiuding had occupied Jiaozhou, and naturally there would be reinforcements to rescue Jiangling.

Deng Yu admitted that he thought about the problem too simply, and he didn't expect Yue Fei to attack so fiercely at the beginning, and he was determined to adopt this kind of lose-lose style to fight with him.

If he continues to consume like this, Deng Yu will not be able to hold Jiangling City for a year, even if it is three months.

As a last resort, Deng Yu had to take a risk and make changes to the core defense layout overnight, and this change was carried out by the whole city.

It's okay to talk about it for a day or two, but if it's a long time, how can you hide it from Yue Fei.

After sensing Deng Yu's intentions, Yue Fei attacked the city overnight, just to take advantage of Deng Yu's arrangement before it was completed, and directly attacked Jiangling City in one fell swoop, and Deng Yu also sensed Yue Fei's intentions, and personally took all the generals and death squads to defend the city overnight, and changed the defense before all the death squads were killed.

Although Jiangling City should have been replaced with a new layout for defending the city, in the previous process, many of the city-guarding equipment on the city tower had been destroyed by the Qin army.

Now that Jiangling has changed its layout, although the defense is stronger than the original, it is only a moment, and it can completely reverse the war situation, but it will also increase the losses of the Qin army.

Outside the city, Yue Fei was still directing the onslaught, while inside Jiangling City was plotting a conspiracy.

In Jiangling City, in a certain mansion of the Cai family, some Jingzhou families gathered together, and the leader was Cai Mao.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Liu Xiu is not self-sufficient, and at the same time he is at war with the four princes, he is destined to have the only end of destruction, but we can't bury him, so we should make plans early." Cai Mao said with a gloomy face, regretting his decision to support Liu Xiu against Qin Hao in the first place.

What did the Jingzhou family do to help Liu Xiu like this? Isn't it just to keep the land in your hands?

But what about Liu Xiu? After the success of the matter, he immediately turned his face and refused to admit it, not only to take away the hidden population of the family, but now he even wants land, which is simply a white-eyed wolf.

Cai Mao used to be Liu Xiu's biggest supporter, that is, he united with the dissatisfied Qin Hao family to help Liu Xiu, but he didn't expect that Liu Xiu was not only grateful, but even his Cai family was cleaned up, and he also asked him to preside over it himself.

At that time, Cai Mao wanted to rebel, but he didn't dare, because Liu Xiu dared to hand over the power to him, there would definitely be a countermeasure, and if he rebelled, the Cai family would definitely be wiped out.

Cai Mao forcibly endured the idea of going down, and personally came forward to suppress those families who were attracted by him to support Liu Xiu, which also made him, the former leader of the Jingzhou family, completely turn against most of the Jingzhou families.

Cai Mao endured the humiliation until now, in order to wait for today's perfect opportunity to destroy Liu Xiu, who was personally held up by him.

"Everyone, take a stand, whether to accompany Liu Xiu's funeral, or find another way out."

Hearing Cai Mao say this, these families were also very moved, but because Liu Xiu had accumulated power for a long time, when his defeat was not a foregone conclusion, everyone did not dare to bet without authorization, after all, once the bet was wrong, it would be the end of the extinction of the clan.

"Humph......"

Seeing this, Cai Mao snorted coldly and said coldly: "Have you forgotten what Liu Xiu did to us?"

In order to help Liu Xiu, our Jingzhou family contributed money, food, and people, and put most of the family into it, but how did he, Liu Xiu, repay us?

Suppression, suppression, or suppression. ”

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused the indignation of many people present.

"Lord Cai is right, our Jingzhou family is not sorry for Liu Xiu, it is Liu Xiu who is sorry for our Jingzhou family."

"Yes, we can't go on like this, we must resist, and let Liu Xiu know how powerful our Jingzhou family is."

……

Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Cai Mao also smiled, and then said with a wry smile: "At the beginning, it was me Cai Mao who was blind, mistrusted Liu Xiu, and hurt the major families, but now the opportunity has come, and I Cai Mao must correct this mistake." ”

"Master Cai, what should you say? We'll all listen to you. ”

"Yes to ......"

A cold light flashed in Cai Yan's eyes: "Concentrate the clan soldiers, open the city gate, and give Jiangling City to the Qin army." ”
