Chapter 349: Commanded by Heaven

Shang Rang's light cavalry squeezed up from both sides, forcing them to have no way to escape, the vanguard of the seven or eight thousand Caizhou army could only rush towards the oncoming iron mountain and knife wheel like a hungry flight, and after being crushed and crushed, the heavy cavalry and infantry rushed through the enemy group, and the dense light cavalry on both sides closed like guillotines to clean up the battlefield and clean up the last remnants of the enemy

Xu Wen stood at the head of the city and watched as a huge reinforcement army, the Caizhou army of nearly seven or eight thousand people, under the terrifying strangulation of Duan Mingyu's Shence Right Army, was shattered until the entire army was annihilated

This is the real sense of the whole army, there is not a single alive, not even the war horses under their crotches have survived, Xu Wen held the city wall, his arms trembled, his legs exerted, and he looked straight at Fangcai, where thousands of people were like tigers and horses like dragons, galloping and happy, and there was now a piece of red, a shocking red, soaking that piece of land

Xu Wen was so depressed that he forgot to order the collection of troops, and the generals under his command were also frightened, and their hearts fell from heaven to hell at once, from great joy to great sorrow, especially when they saw the head-on conflict between the right army of Shence, the terrifying combat power that was impossible to resist at all, and the powerful shock of the soul made them difficult to calm down for a long time

Xu Jing's 5,000 soldiers and horses under the city were still struggling, they couldn't see the situation ahead, and they were still trying their best to meet the Caizhou army, which could never be reached, until then Xu Wen woke up like a dream, his long beard trembled violently, and shouted in a terrible voice: "Collect the troops, collect the troops."

Everything they had just seen would turn into a nightmare that would haunt each of them, and soon it would be sent into the hearts of the entire people of Shou Chūn through the mouths of thousands of people in the city

In the military camp of Shou Chūn City, the horses stood quietly, and the soldiers lay in wait and waited quietly, surrounded by piles of bonfires, and the oppressive atmosphere made few people speak

In the tent, Xu Wen, Xu Jing, and several important generals of Shou Chūn City sat heavily inside, and the torches swayed in the wind, so that their faces flickered brightly and darkly

"No, we can't mobilize the army to take the initiative, we have to wait for reinforcements from other feudal towns to arrive, gather enough men and horses, and at the same time attack the Shence army besieging Shouchūn City from different directions, so that they can't take care of each other, only in this way can we rush into the city and defeat the Tang army."

Xu Jing said and ordered in a deep voice: "From now on, the food you carry should be saved as much as possible until more reinforcements from the feudal towns come."

The generals in Duan Mingyu's tent gathered

Duan Mingyu said loudly: "In this battle, the whole army of 7,000 reinforcements was wiped out in an instant, and there was no escape, so that the Shou Chūn defenders could see with their own eyes that this kind of deterrent power was incomparable, it was difficult for them to have the confidence to rush out of the city and fight to the death with us, but the enemy would not just give up Shou Chūn, let alone surrender, their only support was to take advantage of the wide corridor of Shou Chūn City, the walls were tall, we could not quickly mobilize troops to help the weakness of any place, gather enough reinforcements, and attack the cities at the same time, trying to meet the defenders."

Duan Mingyu smiled slightly and said: "It's okay, what we have to do next is to let them give up the decisive battle with me and go to defend the city, Xu Wen wants to defend it, let him defend the city to death."

The generals laughed, Duan Mingyu pressed his knees and said: "If there are reinforcements, let them rush into the city to join Xu Wen, what should they do next, you should already know in your hearts, since they are willing to be led by our nose and leave, then let's go step by step to Xu Wen and not fight, let Tian Lingzi fight by himself, can't eat Shou chūn city, it is Duan someone who looks down on him"

The generals responded respectfully, Duan Mingyu said: "Okay, even the rì battle is tired, everyone go back, just make a show from tomorrow, you can take turns to recuperate."

Duan Mingyu looked up at the sky, late Tang Dynasty famous general Li Cunxiao was loyal to Hedong, Wang Yanzhang was caught by me, but the stone of the thatched pit was stinky and hard, and he refused to belong to it, and now Xu Wen's father and son in Jianghuai are the Confucian generals in the world, and I don't know who will fall into it, and history is really unrecognizable......

The firelight burned red, half of the sky shouted, the sound of killing was deafening, and the defenders of the city head desperately blocked the divine soldiers who kept rushing to the city in the smoke of war, and the two sides started a desperate struggle with the city head as the battlefield

Although the defenders' robes are very Jiangnan graceful style, although they are not as heavy as the Tang army, the clothing and clothing are very jīng, so that the generals are draped, and there are actually many weapons used by Mingguang armor, which are broadswords, battle axes, spears, hook guns, and a longbow in hand, which is basically the equipment of the Shou chūn defenders

On the fourth day of the siege battle, the soldiers of the Shence army could already rush to the head of the city to fight, and the soldiers of the Shence army bravely moved forward one after another, burned the city gate, hit the city wall, used a ladder, flew and grabbed the city, climbed the head of the city, and fought to the death with the defenders, of course, the Shence army here refers to Tian Lingzi's middle army, Duan Mingyu and Yang Fugong are very self-aware, and have been playing the role of soy sauce, among which there are many of them who are unwilling to lose their strength, and the biggest reason is that Tian Lingzi is afraid that the two will rob him of his first credit, so the military order given to the two is that the Chinese army must not attack the city without authorization

It was late at night, but the sound of the battle was earth-shattering, and there were heavy casualties in the city, but the soldiers of the Chinese army who attacked the head of the city were also knocked down by sharp arrows, and countless small pieces of the city were already full of dead corpses

However, for Xu Wen, they have retreated, and there is no way to retreat from the city, this is their last battle, and the only way to fight is to fight to the death

A golden gong sounded, Tian Lingzi collected the troops, and now Jianghuai is basically a dúlì kingdom, and the influence of the imperial court here is limited, if you forcibly break through and attack the city, the army will change from 60,000 to all the soldiers, and the wear and tear of street fighting will be more serious, and the Shou chūn defenders are mainly 10,000 Yangzhou soldiers, 10,000 Sun Ru troops are supplemented, and 30,000 local people are young and strong to support the façade, once the lord of Shou chūn city will be killed, and the forces in the pot will take advantage of the chaos to break through and flee in all directions, and it will be more difficult to pursue and surrender everywhere, and it will take two or three years at the fastest to let these wild horses be attached one by one

So Tian Lingzi suppressed the siege firepower, and the city of Shou Chūn was always in danger, but it was always in danger, so that Xu Wen always maintained a trace of illusion in his heart, and held on to their city

The siege continued, Tian Lingzi sat cross-legged in a huge carriage drawn by four horses, stood in front of the carriage with the Qincha imperial banner ordered by heaven, leisurely tasting the tribute tea of Chang'an, watching the soldiers of various departments launch attacks again and again in an orderly manner
