Chapter 63: Designing Ji Ling
The promise of seven days naturally had to be kept, and early the next morning, Ji Ling began to attack the city.
Thousands of troops and horses, countless arrows, flocked to Lujiang County, but in the face of this extremely dangerous battle, the soldiers defending the city were not afraid.
They worked together to fight the besieging enemy, and the arrows continued to shoot outside the city, and the thunder stones and rolling logs continued to fall down the city.
The casualties on both sides are getting more and more serious, but Lu Kang has no intention of fighting for hegemony, and there are not many war materials such as arrows and thunder stones and rolling wood in the city, and seventy percent of them were consumed in just two days.
However, this did not affect the determination of the defenders to fight bloodily, they stabbed them with spears, stabbed them with shields, slashed with knives and axes, used boiling oil and hot water, and even the people collected the dust in the city and let the defenders fall.
Because of this, in the ensuing battle, the besieging army appeared with all kinds of wounded.
Some are burned, some are blind, some are blocked by the mouth and nose, some are injured by the heart and lungs, and some are broken and fallen.
The soldiers defending the city were brave, and the besieging army was also fearless of death, and they used their lives to storm the walls of Lujiang County.
……
"Lord, we have already investigated Lu An's situation, he was detained by Lu Kang and Lu An's parents, and Lu An went out of the city to meet Ji Ling three days ago."
Wang Bodang reported.
"How's the situation in Lujiang County?"
Sun Ce asked. Lu Wenlong naturally would not betray him, and he still had this confidence.
"The situation is extremely bad, after hearing that Ji Ling was defeated by Lu An, Yuan Shu came once, and was furious, and ordered Ji Ling to capture Lujiang County and take Lu Kang within seven days, so Ji Ling is attacking the city with all his strength every day."
Wang Bodang said solemnly.
"It looks like it's really changed!"
Sun Ce was a little worried, according to the history he knew, Lu Kang had been guarding for a long time, but now it was a miracle that this situation could be held for a month.
"My lord, my subordinates thought that our army should prepare as soon as possible to prevent Ji Ling from taking Lujiang."
Li Tao said in a deep voice.
"Indeed, do you have a plan?"
Sun Ce looked at everyone.
"Capture the thief and capture the king first, Yuan Shu is not there, this king can't be captured, but the enemy's camp can be pinched, Ji Ling's center of gravity is all Lujiang County, our army can sneak attack its camp and destroy its grain and grass, and then advance from the rear."
Jia Xu said with a smile that Jia Xu was not very disgusted with giving advice to Sun Ce, so he didn't keep too much.
"This plan is not perfect, the last general thought that he could divide another army and horses to harass the siege army, so that they could not escape even if they knew that the camp was destroyed, once they killed back to the camp, the soldiers and horses just contacted the defenders in the city, and attacked the enemy army before and after, so as to inflict heavy damage on the enemy army and relieve the danger of Lujiang."
Li Tao said.
"General Li Tao is really both civil and military, Jia Xu admires it!"
Jia Xu exclaimed.
"Mr. cares about the world, has a far-reaching layout, and has complex thoughts, but he is wise, Li Tao only thinks about the battlefield in front of him, and he can't compare to Mr."
Li Tao said humbly.
"The general's words are bad, the general has won a hundred battles, and he is much better than me, an old man who can only talk on paper."
Jia Xu said with a smile.
"The two of you don't have to elevate each other in a way that belittles you, in a certain opinion, both of you are the right-hand man of a certain person, just like Han Xin and Zhang Liang beside Gao Zu."
Sun Ce didn't open his mouth again, and he didn't know when Jia Xu and the others were going to talk.
"You are the commander, you are the military advisor, and you are the vanguard, overcoming all obstacles and sweeping away everything."
Xue Rengui laughed.
……
Two days later, Li Tao and Sun Ce took the lead in leading the troops to leave, and in the afternoon Xue Rengui also left with a large army, the former aiming at Ji Ling's camp, and the latter aiming at the besieging army.
At the same time, the battle of Lujiang County has begun, this is already the sixth day, and by this time, the arrows in the city, the thunder stone rolling wood have been consumed.
The defenders can only use their weapons and unique items against the besieging army, and of course, most importantly, their flesh and blood.
So far, the two sides have not only suffered great losses in troops, but also suffered great losses in physical strength and energy, and both sides are tired divisions.
"Grandfather, or I'll protect you to break through!"
Lu Wenlong found Lu Kang, Lu Wenlong was also a little embarrassed at this time, and he was also a little injured after a few days of fighting.
As for Lu Kang, he was tired, he had worked hard these days, and it was naturally unbearable for his age.
"Ridiculous! As the Taishou of Lujiang County, how can the old man abandon the soldiers and people of Lujiang County and flee, if you want to leave, then you will leave with your parents. ”
Lu Kang resolutely rejected Lu Wenlong.
"Grandfather!"
Lu Wenlong's face was very ugly.
"Go down and let me rest!"
Lu Kang turned his head away and stopped paying attention to Lu Wenlong.
Lu Wenlong had no choice but to leave, and as for breaking through, Lu Wenlong naturally couldn't do it.
After resting for a while and replenishing a little physical strength, Lu Wenlong climbed the city wall again.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
The shouts of killing continued, and the tragic fighting was daunting.
……
"General, an army of tens of thousands of people was found on the west side of our army."
This army is naturally the army led by Xue Rengui, and as the first fierce general, Xue Rengui is also the most suitable for this task.
"Damn it, where did the army come from!"
Ji Ling's face was ugly, and he was about to win the battle now, but suddenly a team of soldiers and horses appeared, which made Ji Ling not angry.
"It seems to be Sun Ce's soldiers and horses!"
The adjutant replied.
"Damn Sun Ce, he didn't help us at the beginning, and now he dares to make trouble, what does he want to do."
Ji Ling was furious.
"General, what should I do next, do I continue to attack the city or withdraw my troops?"
The adjutant asked nervously.
"What else can we do if we don't continue to attack the city, we have lost so many soldiers in the past few days, if we can't take Lujiang City, how can the lord not kill us."
Ji Ling roared angrily.
"But what about Sun Ce's soldiers and horses, if when our army attacks the city, they take the opportunity to kill them, how can we resist?"
The adjutant general's face was ugly.
"Transfer all the men and horses of the battalion over to guard against Sun Ce's soldiers and horses, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will continue to attack Lujiang County, and they must take Lujiang County before sunset tomorrow, otherwise all their efforts will be wasted."
Ji Ling said firmly.
"If the camp is unguarded, if someone sneaks up on our camp, what will happen?"
The lieutenant general was a little apprehensive.
"Now I can't care about it so much, I must take the county seat of Lujiang in one go, as long as I take the county seat, Sun Ce's people will naturally retreat."
Ji Ling said firmly.
"I'm going to ...... Do! ”
The deputy general finally made up his mind to carry it out according to what Ji Ling said.
However, what Ji Ling didn't know was that at this time, Sun Ce had already led the army to ambush near his camp and was looking for an opportunity to destroy his camp.
The siege continued, Xue Rengui never moved, but he also never retreated, and the existence of Xue Rengui's troops and horses made Ji Ling's heart tugging all the time, and it was very uncomfortable.
