Chapter 59, Jiangcheng
Jiang Jue led 18,000 soldiers to the city, and the 20,000 defenders of Jiangcheng were waiting for them.
"Jiang Jue," Mustard Seed stood on the city and shouted, "Divide the river and rule, and Gu will no longer interfere with the three cities of Qidi, but what?" ”
Jingfu replied on behalf of Jiang Jue: "No."
Mustard is not angry, this condition is just a temptation, as long as there is room for maneuver in the situation, it is easy to say. When soldiers and horses from all over the country come to help, the damned ones have to die. So he shouted again: "As long as you are willing to withdraw your troops, you can cut off the five cities of Jianghou's old land and you again, but what?"
Jiang Jue shook his head, but Jingfu still replied, "No."
"So what are you going to do? You say, as long as it's not too much, it's a lonely retreat. "Mustard just wants to drag, as long as the reinforcements arrive, Jiang Jue will have no place to die.
"Jingfu," Jiang Jue's voice was hoarse, and he said compassionately, "You tell Mustard Seed, as long as you have a head, I will retire from the army." ”
Jingfu shouted loudly: "Mustard seed, Xiao Jianghou said, as long as you have a head, you will naturally withdraw from the army."
"Take people out of town." Mustard stared at the heroic centurion of the Jiangcheng Guard Army standing beside Jiang Jue and smiled contemptuously.
The gate of Jiangcheng was opened, and a woman carried a child in her arms and went out of the city under the push of Jiangcheng soldiers.
Jiang Jue heard Gou Buyan panting like a cow, he didn't dare to look at Gou Buyan's eyes.
"The head you want." Mustard laughed presumptuously.
"No!" The centurion of the heroic Jiangcheng Guards was hoarse without saying a word, and there was nothing but despair or despair in his voice.
The butcher's knife fell, as if slashing at the neck of the heroic centurion of the Jiangcheng Guard, and he collapsed to the ground.
"I like to be a hero," Mustard laughed wildly, "Jiang Wangshu likes to be a hero, you Jiang Jue likes to be a hero, and even a watchdog wants to be a hero." ”
Jiang Jue walked out of the military formation, and Jingfu followed him. Jiang Jue shouted hoarsely: "I am Jiang Jue."
"I never wanted to be a hero, but I was forced to be helpless."
"The Chu people waved their troops to Quanguan and invaded the three cities of Qidi, where are you, the so-called Bajun mustard seed?"
"200,000 households and 500,000 people in the three cities of Qidi are still descendants of the Ba people, and you, the Ba monarch, have managed their life and death?"
"It's not the troubled times that produce heroes, it's the times that create heroes."
"You mustard seeds refuse to wade into the river to rescue the three cities of Qidi, even if I, Jiang Jue, don't stand up, someone else will stand up."
"Jianghou Jiang Wangshu, guarding the land and the people for 28 years, has not lost an inch of land. You mustard seeds are not ashamed to say that Jiang Hou wants to be a hero, saying that Jiang Hou is a high master, if Jiang Hou does not turn the tide and save Jiang Cheng will collapse, you mustard seeds still have the life of a dog standing here and a dog barking? ”
"The three generations of the noble Luo clan in the Western Shu army were killed by Jiang Hou, Jing Chu overlord Fu staggered Ma Wujiang and broke the halberd and sank into the sand, Gongsun Lintun Bing Wuling was blinded by Jiang Hou's arrow, and the five generals of the Song and Chu coalition army were still defeated by Jiang Hou's hands......"
"Ba Guo, you can do without you, the unkind and unjust Ba Jun who killed the Zhuchen indiscriminately and plotted to usurp the throne, but you can't do without Jiang Hou."
"I never thought I was a hero, I was just a mortal, I ate grains and wore mulberry hemp. Today, I, Jiang Jue, am not here as a general of Dali, not as a hero of Qidi, I am just an ordinary person who avenges my father. ”
Jiang Jue raised his star-chasing sword and shouted hoarsely: "Jiang Hou gave me the surname Ji, and I will be Jiang Hou as my father."
scolded heartily before the battle, Jiang Jue's hoarse voice roared out in the end.
The centurion of the heroic Jiangcheng Guards was still paralyzed on the ground without saying a word, Jiang Jue turned around and handed it out, but did not speak. His voice was hoarse and he could no longer utter a word.
Gou Buyan held Jiang Jue's hand and got up, his eyes were firm, Jiang Jue only felt heroic and extraordinary when he looked at it again, and he was no longer a dog's face.
"Xiao Jianghou," Gou Buyan pleaded, "I have been a coward all my life, and I want to be a hero today." ”
Jiang Jue nodded, Gou Buyan came to the front of the battle with a gun, pointed at the mustard seed and scolded: "Gou Buyan is here, who dares to fight?"
"A watchdog," Mustard sneered, "who wants to fight?" ”
"The last general is willing to fight." You Ling, the current palace master of the Imperial Palace, asked for his life.
"Palace Master, you are one of the top generals in Jiangcheng, just a centurion, and the students are willing to make a move." Li Jin, a young general from the palace, was out of the ranks.
"Okay, Lone personally cheered for General Li." Mustard Seed looked very happy, there were too many talents available in Jiangcheng, and dozens of young generals in the palace were all handsome.
Li Jin rode a horse and appeared, and Mustard personally cheered for Li Jin. The centurion of the heroic Jiangcheng Guards rode out without saying a word, and shot Li Jinjiao, a young general from the palace, off his horse.
The drum beat and then stopped abruptly.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates will break this corpse into thousands of pieces, and please ask for permission." You Ling, the palace master of the palace, asked for his life.
The young general Li Jin of the Huangli Palace was killed by a single shot, which undoubtedly made the morale of the Jiangchengba army low, and the mustard seed weighed it again and again and agreed to the request of You Ling, the palace master of the Huangli Palace, and just instructed: "You Palace Master, Gu personally beats the drum and cheers for you, and You Palace Master can kill a few more people."
You Ling, the palace master of the palace, received the order, and the other party could only get seven or eight people, in the past, Jiang Wangshu was one enemy and five, how could he also suppress Jiang Wangshu, it seems that at least six people were killed in a row.
"Watchdog," You Ling, the palace master of the Huangli Palace, sneered, "Lao Tzu looks at you pleasing to the eye, you go back and change someone." ”
The centurion of the heroic Jiangcheng Guards was silent, his eyes were red, and he stabbed his horse with a shot, and You Ling, the palace master of the Imperial Palace, drew his sword to block it, shook his head and said, "It's too weak."
Jiang Jue glanced at Jingfu, who stepped forward immediately, traveling a few steps away. Seeing Jingfu coming out, Jiang Cheng also walked out of the two young generals who left the palace and looked at Jingfu with fierce eyes.
The strength of You Ling, the palace master of the Imperial Palace, is not weak, slightly stronger than Jingfu, Jiang Jue was a little surprised, and after hundreds of moves with You Ling, he did not fall behind.
The situation changed abruptly, Gou Buyan stabbed Gou Buyan with a shot, and You Ling stabbed Gou Buyan in the shoulder with a sword. You Ling's smile froze, and he grabbed the blade of the sword with his left hand, his hand was covered with blood, and the gun was inserted into You Ling's heart with his right hand.
This one of the best generals in Jiangcheng was unwilling to fall off his horse again.
The drums stopped abruptly, how Bajun mustard believed his eyes. Jiang Hou is not there, and the palace master of Huang Li Xinggong is a well-deserved first person in the armed forces of Pakistan, and he was actually killed by a watchdog?
The two young generals who left the palace turned and fled, and without saying a word, they drew their spears and shot away, and the poor young generals, who were running slower, struggled twice and fell off their horses.
The centurion of the heroic Jiangcheng Guard Army staggered and almost fell off his horse without saying a word, and Jingfu lifted him and threw him on the horse, and praised him: "Awesome."
How not to be awesome? Jingfu knew the skills of You Ling, the master of the Huangli Palace, and the centurion of the Jiangcheng Guards, who had always been inconspicuous, was able to kill this person without saying a word.
When he returned to the military formation, the centurion of the heroic Jiangcheng Guards opened his mouth without saying a word, his mouth was full of blood foam, and he said, "Am I a hero?"
Jiang Jue's voice was hoarse, so he had to nod.
"Heroes." Keio raised his silent hand and shouted.
"Heroes." Eighteen thousand men and horses shouted in unison.
The centurion of the heroic Jiangcheng Guards bowed his head in annoyance, if he could do it all over again, he would rather be a coward for the rest of his life.
At this time, the morale was at its peak, and it was the time to break the city in one go, but Jiangcheng was a strong city, and it was tantamount to a fool's dream to break the city without siege equipment such as crashing ladders.
Morale is invisible and real, Jiang Jue is at a loss, so his morale is lost in vain, and it is getting late.
Break the city, break the city, how to break the city? Jiang Jue was at a loss and had nothing to do. He suddenly felt that he was really incompetent, and kept shouting to avenge Jiang Hou, but he was stopped outside the city and sighed.
The next day, the sky was fine.
Jiangcheng has already stood majestically, and Jiang Jue is still at a loss. Futu Pass came to report that the Pakistani army rushed to help, and the Futu Pass guard Ge Lu did not ask for reinforcements. Jiang Jue's voice was completely hoarse, he couldn't say a word, so he had to stretch out two fingers.
Jingfu understood and dispatched 2,000 men and horses to gallop to help Futu Pass.
At this time, Ba Jun Mustard looked uneasy, and the reinforcement troops were intercepted outside Futu Pass, and Jiang Cheng was surrounded by this Jiang Jue. The only good news is that Jiang Jue's men and horses are also in a dilemma, and with an army of 20,000, the loss of grain and grass is not a small amount.
Ba Jun Mustard ordered to defend Jiangcheng and refused to fight, even if he consumed Jiang Jue. Since he had no idea, Jiang Jue was not in a hurry to break the city, but retreated to Futu Pass. If the problem of food and grass is not solved, I am afraid that 20,000 people will starve to death on the battlefield.
As soon as he arrived at Futu Pass, the Futu Pass guard greeted Ge Lu: "Come, come, eat meat, eat meat."
Keio asked suspiciously, "Where did the minced meat come from?"
"These are doctors from all over the world, and they are all friendly troops," Ge Lu pointed to the several generals around him, and then introduced, "Xiaojiang Hou Jiang Jue." ”
Several leading doctors shouted in unison: "I've seen Xiao Jianghou."
Jiang Jue gave up his hands one by one, but did not speak. The faces of several doctors were not very good-looking, and Jingfu hurriedly said, "Xiao Jianghou's voice is hoarse."
Jiang Jue picked up his sword and wrote on the ground, and Jingfu read it out: "Jue thanks you."
Ge Lu said: "Xiao Jianghou is benevolent, righteous and humble, and has the demeanor of Jianghou."
Several leading doctors felt uncomfortable after knowing that Jiang Jue's voice was hoarse, and even the pig brain could guess that he was crying hoarsely.
Jiang Jue picked up the pen and wrote three more words, bitter meat plan.
After thinking for a while, Keio asked, "Childe means that we are pretending to lose the Futu Pass?"
Jiang Jue nodded, and the eyes of several leading soldiers lit up, originally they planned to attack the city with a large army, since they could not spend a single soldier, it was naturally better. is worthy of being the son of Jianghou, and he has the style of Jianghou back then.
Futuguan set up a big pot to cook meat, and Jiang Jue stood alone at the pass, full of thoughts. To be a man to achieve the realm of Jianghou, this life is enough. The Son of Heaven greeted him personally, the princes looked sideways, the soldiers followed, and the people sent meat.
All parts of Liangzhou are full of mountains and rivers, and the big rivers are the most in the Tongjiang River and Qishui. Jiangcheng happens to be at the confluence of the Tongjiang River and Qishui, which can be called the treasure land of Liangzhou.
Therefore, in the past, the five ancestors of the Ba people chose to take root in Jiangcheng, so Ba Jun would set the capital of Jiangcheng, so Jiang Wangshu could make a career in Jiangcheng.
The spirit of the earth, so the people.
