Chapter 512: The Han Army is fierce
Grain and grass are the most important thing on the march, and if the grain and grass are burned, then their next battle may not be easy.
Therefore, although it is now a great opportunity to defeat the Tang army, in comparison, Cao Shen still has to find a way to extinguish the fire and save the grain and grass.
The soldiers and horses of the Han Kingdom rescued the grain and grass, and rockets were still flying in the night sky.
Luo Cheng's pressure was a little less.
"Break out with me."
With a shout, Luo Cheng rushed out with his soldiers and horses, but even so, he lost two thousand soldiers and horses.
That's it, it's because the grain and grass of the Han Kingdom were burned, otherwise, he would have to lose 10,000 soldiers and horses.
After breaking through, Luo Cheng didn't dare to hesitate, and rushed to Jiangcheng with his soldiers and horses.
Above Jiangcheng, the autumn wind is raging.
Jiang Xiaoyu stood on the city tower, and after seeing Luo Yi break out with soldiers and horses, he immediately waved his hand and ordered someone to open the city gate.
Seeing this, Luo Yi couldn't help but have some liking for Jiang Xiaoyu in his heart.
Tonight, if it weren't for Jiang Xiaoyu's use of a hot air balloon to lose the grain and grass of the Han Kingdom, he would want to enter Jiangcheng, but I am afraid it would not be easy.
The city gate opened, and the soldiers and horses of the Tang Kingdom entered the city one after another, and the military camp of the Han State in the distance was still burning.
After entering Jiangcheng, Luo Yi saw Jiang Xiaoyu.
"I didn't expect Cao Shen of the Han Kingdom to be so powerful, and he actually fell in love with him, thank you General Jiang this time."
Jiang Xiaoyu waved his hand and said, "General Luo doesn't have to be polite, we are all defending the city for the Holy Lord, and from now on, we must be united." ”
The soldiers and horses of the Han State are still very strong, if they are not united, if they want to hold Jiangcheng, I am afraid that it will not be easy.
If it was before, Luo Cheng really didn't necessarily listen to Jiang Xiaoyu, but with tonight's events, he knew that he was far from Jiang Xiaoyu in terms of fighting.
Although he was born in a family of military generals and practiced martial arts since he was a child, there are few people who really go to the battlefield, in comparison, Jiang Xiaoyu is a person who keeps fighting on the battlefield, and his ability is definitely stronger than himself.
"That's right, we must defend Jiangcheng and not live up to the trust of the Holy Lord."
"General Luo has been busy for a long time, he must be sleepy, let's let the soldiers rest early, tomorrow, I'm afraid there will be a tough battle to fight."
Luo Cheng nodded, and then retreated with the soldiers and horses.
On the side of the Han military camp, the fire burned for a long time.
In fact, after the fire burned, they could be extinguished quickly, but after it was extinguished, the Tang army burned again, so they had to continue to extinguish the fire.
In this way, it was not until Tang Jun's hot air balloon ran out of heat that they finally solved the matter.
And by this time, it was already before dawn.
The entire Han army camp was very dim around it.
The smell of smoke in the camp was very strong, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
Everyone is still a little sleepy.
Cao Shen's eyebrows were staring, he didn't expect that Tang Jun would have the trick of burning grain and grass, otherwise, they would have to leave Luo Cheng's life behind.
"Tell the soldiers, rest quickly, leave a part, and strengthen patrols."
Tonight, they had been delayed for too long, and if they had not had enough sleep, they would not have been able to fight tomorrow.
After this order was given, someone soon arranged to go.
At the same time, some people came and told Cao Shen about tonight's losses.
"Marshal, our grain and grass have been burned very badly, and the remaining grain and grass can only last for five days, and most of them have been burned."
Hearing that the grain and grass could only last for five days, Cao Shen's eyes suddenly condensed.
Without food and grass, how can they fight?
If five days later, they haven't been able to capture Jiangcheng, will they go or stay?
A fire suddenly made their siege plan much more urgent.
Cao Shen walked back and forth in the big tent.
"Tell me to go down and send people to the Han Kingdom to transport grain, and you must be fast."
The person next to the "Marshal ......" looked embarrassed and said: "We are going back to the Han Kingdom, and it will take more than five days, and when they get the grain and grass back, we are afraid that there will be no grain and grass to eat." ”
Once they come and go, they will definitely run out of food and grass.
After Cao Shen heard this, his face became more and more ugly, and he said: "Then break the cauldron and sink the boat, fight with the Tang army, and capture Jiangcheng within five days." ”
It is too late to return home to deliver grain and grass, so they can only attack the city.
---------------------
The autumn breeze is dignified.
After dawn, the smoke of the Han army camp had weakened a little, but it could still be seen.
After Cao Shen got up, he immediately ordered the soldiers to gather.
After a short time, the soldiers were assembled, Cao Shen looked at them and shouted: "After capturing Jiangcheng, I will allow you to plunder for three days, whether it is money or women, how much you can rob, how much is yours." ”
Hearing this, the soldiers' hearts suddenly shook, if they could be allowed to plunder, then they could grab too much, which was more than their military pay for several years.
The point is, you can rob a woman, and if you grab it, it's your own.
They were not allowed to do these things in normal times, but now in order to arouse the fighting spirit of these soldiers, Cao Shen could only take a risk.
"Breaking the River City ......"
Looking at the excited soldiers, Cao Shen couldn't help shouting, and after he shouted like this, all the soldiers immediately shouted loudly: "Broken River City ......"
"Breaking the River City ......"
The soldiers of the Han army raised their arms and shouted, Cao Shen's heart swelled with blood, and he shouted: "Go!" ”
The soldiers and horses of the Han State marched towards Jiangcheng, and the road of five miles was not long, and soon, they came to Jiangcheng City.
Jiang Xiaoyu saw that the morale of the Tang army was high, and his expression was faintly uneasy, yesterday's fire didn't have much impact on them.
Jiang Xiaoyu thought in his heart, and at this time, he spoke.
"You Han Kingdom is really bold, the last time you attacked my Jiangcheng, I didn't find trouble with you, but now you still want to attack my Jiangcheng, do you really think that my Tang Kingdom has a good temper?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Xiaoyu's expression suddenly froze, and he said coldly: "After my Tang Kingdom destroys the Wei State, it seems that it is time to think about it and destroy your Han Kingdom." ”
This is domineering, as if it is really easy to destroy the Han Kingdom, it is just a matter of their Tang Kingdom's words.
However, after he said this, Cao Shen smiled: "Since your Tang Kingdom will destroy my Han Kingdom sooner or later, then my Han Kingdom might as well take the initiative to attack and destroy your Tang Kingdom, now at this time, with me without you, what is the point of talking so much nonsense?" ”。
"I, Cao Sen, lead the troops, just to destroy your Tang Kingdom, so, so what, can you scare me when you say those words? Can I not send Cao Shen to the army, it's ridiculous, ridiculous. ”
Speaking of this, Cao Shen was too lazy to say much to Jiang Xiaoyu, and waved his hand directly: "Siege!" ”
