Volume 1 The East China Sea Dilemma Chapter 83 The Siege of Water (2)
Outside the city of Jishui, the camp of Jiang Fu.
Jiang Fu and Xu Xiang sat in the main and deputy positions respectively, and Jiang Shenyu stood silently beside Xu Xiang.
"You're done?" Jiang Cheng knew that they went back to Yong'an Town because the people who woke them up had something to hand over to Xu Xiang to do, and he wanted to send more people to protect them, but now that the attack was imminent, he couldn't send more people, but fortunately, they came back safely.
"Well, that's it."
"You came back just in time this time, and the water will be broken soon, just to help me come up with the idea of attacking the city."
"I don't know anything about siege, isn't it easy to draw water, and Nangong Sui has to pay the price for his rebellion!" Xu Xiang said modestly.
Jiang Fu laughed and said, "You don't know anything about siege? Ha ha...... Changsha, at that time, you should be the first to capture Hancheng! After returning to Linzi, I will explain the situation to my father and let you and Shen Yu officially get married. ”
Soon he was able to put down the rebellion, and he was in a very good mood, so he began to make plans for Xu Xiang and the others.
In the fire of Bangyue Tower in Linzi City, Xu Xiang and Jiang Shenyu died in the fire, and this matter caused a lot of trouble in Linzi. Now that the two of them have "come back from the dead", after Jiang Zhen knows about it, he will definitely be furious.
So he has to think of a good excuse for the two, otherwise what if Jiang Zhen is angry and locks Xu Xiang up?
"Your Highness, you ......"
Before Xu Xiang's words could be spoken, Jiang Xiang interrupted him, "Eh, why are you still called Your Highness!" ”
"Uh...... Uncle, I think you are mistaken, Shen Yu and I came to you this time to bid farewell to you. Xu Xiang said with some embarrassment.
"Resignation? Well? ”
"Where are you going? Why leave? ”
"Are you worried that your father will be angry and refuse to let you go? I will intercede for you before my father......"
Jiang Xiang said a few words in a row, wanting to keep Xu Xiang.
"Big brother, I am not dead with Changsha, please keep it secret." Jiang Shenyu said pleadingly.
"This ......" Jiang Xiang hesitated, he really didn't want Xu Xiang to leave the East China Sea, through these days of contact, he found that Xu Xiang's grasp of the fighter plane, as well as the analysis of the enemy's psychology, can be said to be far beyond himself, if he is allowed to leave the East China Sea, maybe he will become an enemy in the future, it will be a headache for himself.
"Uncle, why do we want to fake our deaths and escape from Linzi, you should know the reason. You know very well what kind of character the king is. Do you think that if I go back to Linzi with you, will I still be free? Xu Xiang said leisurely.
Jiang Fu's brows were twisted into the word "Sichuan", his heart was very conflicted, he could forcibly leave Xu Xiang, but in this case, Jiang Shenyu would definitely hate his eldest brother to death. But if Xu Xiang is allowed to leave, it is not a good idea for Donghai.
However, when he thought of the current situation of the Chu State, it was almost impossible for Xu Xiang to turn over.
"Okay!" He still loves his sister very much, and this is the first time he has not made a decision centered on the core interests of the East China Sea.
"Where are you going? When to go? Jiang Fu asked again.
"Go to Ningdu, we're going to leave now."
"The attack will start tomorrow, why don't you wait for the city to be taken before leaving?"
"Speaking of attacking and drawing water, I almost forgot that there is someone who might be able to help you." Xu Xiang suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said.
"Who?"
So, Xu Xiang told the thunder that he had captured in Hancheng and arranged for the thunder to go to Jishui County.
Now Thunder is still in the city of Jishui, and his fifty loyal subordinates are not bad, and they can work together to take Jishui in one fell swoop.
"Report!"
At this time, a hurried voice came from outside the camp.
"Enter!"
A spy walked in from outside the camp, dressed in tight-fitting leather armor, and looked very capable.
The spy knelt in front of Jiang Wei and said respectfully: "Your Highness, there is news from Jishui, saying that Nangong Sui sent someone to Beimeng to borrow troops, and Beimeng agreed to borrow three thousand Jinjia troops, which are assembling in Cobalt Blue County in Beimeng, and they will arrive in Jishui County the day after tomorrow!" ”
"Jinjia Army!" Jiang Fu's face changed.
A few months ago, Northern Mongolia sent 30,000 Jinjia troops to the border of the East China Sea, just to force the East China Sea to hand over Xu Xiang.
Later, although Xu Xiang competed in the ring, Mu Jun agreed to withdraw the Jinjia army. After Nangong Sui occupied Jishui, Beimeng almost did not defend Suiguo, but he didn't expect that the Jinjia Army did not withdraw, but was still at the border!
"Is the Jinjia Army very powerful? Now there are 20,000 elites led by General Zhi, plus 8,000 people from Yulinwei and Tongque Battalion, plus 10,000 soldiers, there are more than 40,000 people in total, and they can't deal with 3,000 Jinjia troops? Xu Xiang saw that Jiang Fu showed deep jealousy and melancholy, and asked without knowing what to do.
"Changsha, this is not a matter of numbers." Jiang Fu said.
"The strongest army in the world, there are countless non-Jinjia troops!"
"Once the Jinjia Army defends the city for Nangong, it will be very troublesome to capture Jishui! For the sake of today, tomorrow we must take the city of water regardless of casualties! In this way, even if the Jinjia Army comes, there is nothing to be done! ”
Early the next morning, the East China Sea Army, which had surrounded the three walls of Jishui County, began to attack the city.
This siege battle lasted for a day and a night, and in the end, the thunder in Jishui County secretly attacked, seized the south gate of Jishui County, and opened the main gate, and the army of the East China Sea took the opportunity to pour in and killed the soldiers of Suiguo near the city gate.
The firelight was accompanied by the sound of shouting and killing, and there was a great chaos in the city, and many soldiers and generals who accompanied the country saw that the general trend had gone, and knelt on the ground to ask for surrender.
Jiang Fu, Zhi Guangmao, and Wei Zhang each led a large army through the city gate and took over the main roads of the city.
Nangong Sui is now sitting on pins and needles on the inner city wall, he knows that the city will be broken sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon!
Ordinary cities do not need to have inner cities, except for royal capitals and fortresses.
And Jishui is the border city, the north is the cobalt blue county of Beimeng, the southwest is the Tuyang city of the Chu State, and the west is Linhe City, which can be said to be the place of the four wars, and the geographical location is very important, so naturally the inner city is also set up.
After Nangong Sui occupied the water, it strengthened the walls of the inner city.
From the official start of the siege battle to the destruction of the outer city, a whole day and night have passed, and he is now looking forward to when the army of Beimeng will be able to come.
"Where is the Jinjia Army of Northern Mongolia now?" Nangong asked lonely, at this time, he no longer had the domineering spirit that he was the king at the beginning, he added a few silver threads to his head, and he was leaning forward, like an old man in the twilight.
"Your Majesty, the Jinjia Army is still three hundred miles away from us, and it will take at least three hours to arrive!" The attendant beside him said in a somewhat choked tone.
"Three hours! Can you resist three hours of loneliness? Looking at the dense East China Sea army under the inner city, he was very hesitant in his heart.
"Your Majesty, we ...... Let's surrender......" A young general in armor suggested with some trembling trembling eyes, this person was the commander of the city guard army that drew water, Zhang Xue.
"Be bold and learn! You are the king of Longen, how dare you mention the word surrender? Yu Guanghua jumped like thunder and scolded sharply.
"Now there are only 2,000 city guards in the inner city, and the king's 1,000 guards, plus you and my ministers, are only more than 3,000 people. There are no less than 30,000 people outside the inner city in Donghai today! Just ask, 3,000 against 30,000, do you still want to hold on for three hours? It's better to surrender, at least there is decency! ”
"Nonsense, I think you are greedy for life and afraid of death!"
Other officials began to whisper, some in favor of surrender and others in favor of death.
Above the inner city, there was a lot of commotion, and it was already a mess. Nangong couldn't help but be dizzy from the noise.
"I say, guys, how are the discussions going?" At this moment, a small voice came from under the city gate, and Jiang Fu, who was riding on a horse, gently clasped his ears with his little thumb and said lazily.
Nangong Sui stepped forward and looked down the city.
"Jiang Fu, you just have to attack the city! I will not surrender to you! ”
"Oh? Really? Someone, bring someone to me! Jiang Fu was not annoyed, but commanded.
Not long after, the soldiers escorted a fat man who was beaten to the front of the battle, it was Nangong Que who was captured alive in Yangyang.
"Father! Help me! Nangong Que was rudely thrown on the ground, and he saw Nangong Sui on the city wall at a glance, crying for help.
"Que'er!" When Nangong Sui saw Nangong Que's appearance, his heart rose for a while, and he shouted very distressedly.
"Father! Jiang Fu beat the child like this, you must save the child! Nangong Que's crying voice came into his ears, and it looked so desolate.
"Jiang Fu, if you have the ability, you will attack the city directly! The defense of my inner city will cost you. What do you mean by bringing my son to the front? Acting so despicably, you are still a prince! ”
"Phew!" Zhi Guangmao spat heavily and scolded, "Nangong Sui, are you embarrassed to say the word despicable?" As a retinue of the East China Sea, you rebelled against the country and killed many soldiers in the East China Sea, and now you still want to be benevolent, righteous and moral, it's really funny! ”
"You ......" Nangong Sui's face turned red for a while, and he couldn't lift it in one breath, and he couldn't say a word of anger.
"Your Majesty! We're still ...... Surrender, right? His Royal Highness the Prince has already been arrested by them, and if he resists fiercely, he may endanger His Highness! Zhang Xue once again persuaded Nangong Sui to surrender.
Nangong Sui's face turned cold, and he said angrily: "Come on, pull Zhang Xue down and cut me down!" Say to surrender to the enemy and lose the heart of our army! He deserves to be punished! ”
