The 555th man is in the city
Liu Zeqing's troops plundered and slaughtered the city, Chang Yu didn't know that he was watching the battle in Zaoqiang at that time, and Hejian Fucheng, which was dozens of miles away from Jingzhou, was also experiencing a fierce battle.
The black wolf battalion under the command of Wu Zhong was ordered to defend the city, commanded by the deputy commander Lao Jiu, Chang Yu left a message and he was a great achievement to keep for ten days, Lao Jiu was clever and heard the smell of gunpowder from these words, Hejian as a city thief army valued since it could not be lost, there must be soldiers to attack, and there will be a big battle in a few days.
Therefore, Chang Yu left on the front foot, and Lao Jiu mobilized the people in the city to assist in the construction of fortifications for the city defense, such as digging several trenches outside the city gate, demolishing houses and transporting wood and stones to the city, forming a militia to send weapons to the city to help defend and so on.
After professional training, it is different, the predecessor of the black wolf battalion is the private army of Jiang Jiu, the general soldier of Datong, with excellent military literacy, and the construction of defensive fortifications is handy and leaky, Lao Jiu's judgment as a veteran is also at the top level, and several bandits were found outside the city in the middle of the next day.
The size of these bandit armies was not large, ranging from tens to half a hundred, but by noon they had reached the size of nearly five hundred, and they were eager to begin a tentative siege.
As the strongest combat power and the highest military literacy under Chang Yu's command, although there are only more than 200 people, in a blink of an eye, the thief army knows what professionalism is and what is the unique ruthlessness of Dongchang.
After several fights, the thieves outside the city left nearly a hundred corpses to retreat to a confrontation several miles away, the pressure on Lao Jiu's heart increased sharply, if the thieves retreated, it means that the dilemma has been solved, the other party surrounds and does not fight, indicating that there are reinforcements behind, and the real storm is coming.
Lao Jiu did not dare to be careless, and summoned the squires in the city to mobilize the people to fully assist the officers and soldiers to defend the city, saying that if the thief army broke the city, it would be a chicken and a dog, and the squires were tortured and plundered by the thief army.
Just after noon, a thief army of about 1,000 people arrived in the northwest, and Lao Jiu deduced that it should be reinforcements from Baoding Mansion, and it was very likely that it was a thief army entrenched in Gaoyang County.
More than 1,500 thieves, more than 200 defenders, Lao No. 9 ordered his soldiers to defend with all their might, the thief army has no artillery, only a few siege ladders, and it is not so easy to break the city!
At this moment, it was suddenly reported that thousands of thieves were coming to the south, causing a panic in the city......
The thief army set up a defensive line on the border of Jingzhou in the south to snipe the officers and soldiers to the north, how could the thief army of these defense lines suddenly turn around, and seeing its embarrassed appearance, there is only one explanation: the little overseer has led his troops to break through the defense line and is killing him.
As soon as everyone heard this truth, their morale immediately soared, and they only needed to hold out for a moment and a half, waiting for the soldiers to come to help, and these thieves did not continue to flee from the wind.
After all, Lao Jiu is still a little tender, although the speculation is generally good, but the difference is thousands of miles, if it is really Chang Yu to lead the army to the north, it is a fast march, but at this time he is far away in Jizhou, hundreds of miles southwest to see Huang Degong and Gao Jie attacking the city.
Liu Zeqing, who led his troops to break through the defense line, did not immediately chase after the thief army and stationed in Hejian Mansion City as soon as possible, but burned and plundered in Jingzhou City.
This is a bitter thing for Lao Jiu and his black wolf battalion.
The reinforcements of the thief army from the north and the rout of the thief army from the south saw that there were not many officers and soldiers defending the city, so why not take the opportunity to take the city and re-establish the defense line, so after a little discussion, they launched an attack!
An army of five or six thousand thieves besieged a city defended by only 200 officers and soldiers, and you can imagine how tragic this battle was......
However, when the thief army attacked Hejian Mansion with great fanfare, Liu Zeqing, who was slaughtering the city dozens of miles away, got the news and his first reaction was actually to send troops to support immediately, he knew the importance of Hejian Mansion City, if it was occupied by the thief army, it would be a big obstacle for him to go north, and it would take great effort to attack the city and not necessarily fight down, if so, how to recover the entire territory of Hejian Mansion within ten days.
But just as he was mobilizing men and horses to support, the spies said that although there were many thieves, there was no siege baggage, and thousands of defenders in the city struggled to resist, and it was not broken in an instant.
Thousands of guards? Liu Zeqing was stunned, the little eunuch once said that there were only two or three hundred soldiers and horses left under his command, how could it suddenly become thousands, and then he realized that it should be the people in the city working together to resist the enemy.
If this is the case, why should Lao Tzu rush to help, let them kill the two sides exhausted and then go to reap the benefits of the fisherman, if the thief army can not break the army to kill it when it is tired, it can be easily broken, if the thief army has the strength to break the city in the most critical time to kill Fang Xian's importance, it must be the first merit, otherwise it can only be regarded as an assist at most, and there is a life-saving grace for the people in the city, they should be grateful to Dade, it can be said that they have more than one stone, fame and fortune!
After calculating, Liu Zeqing postponed the immediate rush to help, but asked his subordinate general Shi Xingming to command 3,000 cavalry for nearly ten miles to see the opportunity to act, kill the thieves when they are tired, and save the city when the city is in danger, that is to say, if these two situations do not happen, just watch them fight.
It is said that the thief army who was besieging the city suddenly saw an officer and soldier chasing from Jingzhou, and panicked, while stepping up the siege of the city, he sent a team of men and horses to prepare for the battle, but they found that the men and horses were stopped in the wilderness for more than ten miles, which made them very puzzled.
The thief army suddenly attacked more fiercely, the pressure on the defenders in the city increased sharply, Lao Jiu led his troops and the people to fight bravely and bloody battles together, and did not find that the reinforcements were ten miles away, but they were still looking forward to the arrival of the little eunuch's thousands of troops and horses......
The thief army besieged the city in all directions, although there was no artillery suppression, and even the siege equipment was few, but there were many people, and it was bound to be almost crazy, the cavalry circled the city and spread their bows, and the infantry set up ladders to charge, and they went forward and followed very crazy......
In the face of the madness of the thief army, Lao Jiu calmly responded to the battle and divided the black wolf battalion into four groups to defend the four cities and led the people to fight bravely to kill the enemy......
More than 50 soldiers of the black wolf battalion on each side of the city are the backbone, commanding the people in the city to bravely throw stones and swing swords to kill the enemy......
The sky is getting dark, Jingzhou City is gradually becoming ruins in the sea of fire, the corpses are everywhere in the small city, the roosters and dogs are barking, and the bones of more than 1,000 surrendered thieves are piled up outside the city.
Liu Zeqing's eyes slowly shifted from the firelight in the city to the corpses, and slowly raised his eyes to look north, there was a faint bright color in the sky due north, as if he could see the gunpowder smoke rising from there, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned: "Order, kill the thief!" ”
The two sides of the battle in Hejian Mansion were exhausted, and the bandit army outside the city had been repelled by the defenders and civilians inside the city after several fierce attacks, and they were now gasping for breath and discussing whether to go or continue.
Lao Jiu looked at the corpses all over the ground at his feet, he couldn't help but tremble with several knife wounds on his body, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and his eyes swept over those colleagues and people in the city who were covered in blood and had a firm face, and roared hard: "People are in the city"
"People are in the city" Tens of thousands of people roared in unison, so that the thief army under the city couldn't help but shudder, and their eyes showed retreat in each other's eyes, and they suffered countless injuries after a few hours, and the defenders on the city went from hundreds to thousands, and then to thousands to nearly 10,000......
Gotcha, don't fight, I'm gone.
Before they could give the order to retreat, they suddenly saw that the officers and soldiers who had been watching from the south suddenly crossed the Guyang River and killed them......
"Reinforcements are coming" Lao Jiu's eyes lit up in the city, and he couldn't help yelling, the people in the city cheered one after another, and those who cried with joy abounded, and even some fainted directly when their spirits were relaxed.
The officers and soldiers crossed the river, the cavalry swept the remnant clouds, the thieves were weak and fled away from the battle, the whole city of Hejian Mansion was boiling and cheering, and after seeing the enemy's rout, the city gate was opened to welcome the reinforcements, and the old nine in the city looked at the reinforcements outside the city, and slowly frowned......
