After a few rounds of arrow rain, they raised their knives and spears and surrounded the poor insects, looking at these ambushed enemy soldiers with longing and shouting: "Surrender, surrender!" ”

The camp gate that was originally opened by the Zhou army suddenly turned up a heavy wooden board to seal the retreat, and under the light of the fire, the Zhou soldiers who rushed into the Chen army's camp held their shields and shrunk into a circle, and the dense feather arrows were nailed to the shield like hedgehogs.

Seeing that the Zhou army outside the camp was blocked from the door and could not enter, and the Zhou army in the camp was dead, first eat what was sent to the mouth, and if you don't know how much you can kill if you don't know whether you are dead or alive, the officials and soldiers who have been tossed by the Zhou army for months are finally going to take revenge.

If you attack Wuchang, then we will pull out Qichang, anyway, there is a word Chang, and it is decent to have comings and goings.

"Kill if you don't surrender, kill them!"

"Kill!"

The sound of the tidal shouts was full of momentum, but it made the generals of the Chen army stunned for a moment, because there were many voices that seemed to be coming from behind them, and they were waiting for the rabbit tonight to concentrate their troops here, and there were so many people behind.

Before they could come back to their senses, they saw blood splashing and many arrows shooting from behind them, shooting the Chen soldiers to the ground, and seeing the fire in the camp behind them, and many figures rushing towards them, those people were not their comrades.

Caught off guard, the Chen army, which ambushed the enemy, was attacked by the enemy from behind, and just turned around to fight, but the Zhou army, which was originally surrounded, also moved its shield to attack, and the Chen army was in chaos under the enemy on both sides, and the originally planned ambush turned into an ambush in the end.

"This can't be, this can't be!" A Chen general shouted in panic, "There are cliffs on both sides of the road, how can they go around the back and sneak attack!"

The official road in the area of Guo Mocheng is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and the Chen army is stuck in the village here, and the Zhou army of Guo Mocheng can only attack the village from north to south, and the camp is followed by the direction of Qichang, and it is reasonable to say that there is no possibility of the Zhou army appearing.

Therefore, the ambushed Chen army focused its attention on the north, where did he think that there would be so many enemy sneak attacks in the south. In the chaos, Gu Tou ignored the Zhou army, which was originally blocked out of the camp, no one countered, and as a result, he broke the wooden plank and rushed in, and after a fierce melee between the two sides, the Chen army quickly collapsed and was captured by the Zhou army.

The organic soldiers wanted to take advantage of the night to flee south, but they didn't escape far before they were intercepted and killed, and the Zhou army copied from the south did not all rush into the camp, but left a second group of people just waiting for them.

The bonfire lit in the camp, the captured Chen soldiers were tied with their hands tied by the back-cutting and concentrated in a clearing to be guarded, they all sat on the ground in embarrassment and sighed, they endured being bitten by mosquitoes for a long time tonight, and waited for the rabbit to wait for a tiger.

The sound of horses' hooves began. A large number of Zhou cavalry entered the camp by the light of the fire and were about to march south through the clearing, and the leading general, hearing the commotion of the captives, asked what was going on, and soon after a man with a disheveled head was escorted over.

"The general of the defeated army, the overall situation has been decided, and he still dares to make noise, is it not dissatisfied?" The general of the Zhou army sat on his horse and looked at the other party and sneered.

"How did you get around to the south?" The man asked with a tangled face, "Our army has already been closed, how can you get around!" ”

"Just go over the mountain!"

"It's impossible, it's impossible, it's night on such a steep mountain wall!"

"Impossible? Your army can't do it. It doesn't mean that our army can't do it. The general of the Zhou army said with a smile, "The military order has been issued, so what's the harm in going over the mountain at night?" ”……

In the early morning, Qichang, the south side of the city wall has been seriously damaged, a collapsed gap stands on a dense wooden stake as a fence, inside and outside the fence is bloodstained, there are many corpses lying on the ruins.

Qichang City was broken by Chen's army two years ago, and although it has been repaired, the rammed earth city wall that has been scarred by the war still has many hidden dangers. Qizhou has experienced many wars, and the household registration withered for a while and a half, and could not organize enough people to quarry stones or burn bricks to build a new city wall, as a result, Chen Jun's manpower catapult fired overnight, and in the middle of the night, the city wall finally could not support the collapse, and there was a gap.

The first of the Chen army and the gagged soldiers of the Zhou army immediately fought over this gap. The loss happened suddenly, and the soldiers and young men of the Zhou army on duty at night were obviously more than the soldiers of the Chen army, and after a few tug-of-wars, they finally succeeded in blocking the mouth.

But it didn't take long for the day to dawn, the effect of the Chen army attacking the city overnight has appeared, not only here there are several city walls that have shown signs of collapse, and they are distributed in the south and east side of the city wall, if the Chen army attacks from all directions at the same time after the breach, then the Zhou army defending the city can be bearable.

Taking precautions, the Qizhou Assassin organized people to pre-drive wooden stakes behind the city wall, which was very likely to collapse, as a second line of defense. The people throughout the whole process were mobilized to prepare for a death battle against the Chen army, who had broken in.

Two years ago, the Chen army broke through Qichang City and moved the people to the south of the Yangtze River, and it was easy to gather some people to settle in Qichang within two years, but now they are about to face the fate of being taken away again after the city is broken.

"Reinforcements are coming, hold on a little longer!"

"The Governor's Mansion has mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to arrive soon, and the Chen army will be defeated."

What has been said many times is brought up again. Although everyone knows that Yizhou, which is closest to Qizhou, will send reinforcements to arrive today, not to mention that Chen's army will definitely intercept them along the way, so it is impossible to arrive today.

As for the hundreds of thousands of troops or something, it is even more nonsense, they may not survive today, and even if they really have, it is too late to come here, listening to the sound of flying stones hitting the curtain or the city wall, many people began to beat drums in their hearts.

The Chen army besieging Qichang numbered tens of thousands, and the abundance of troops can be seen by the catapults that fired non-stop artillery day and night, and the stone bridge across the river on the outskirts of the northern part of the city has been destroyed

"Anyway, it's hopeless, it's better to just accept fate" is something that many people don't say but think about in their hearts.

Seeing that the people were panicked just until the second morning, the generals were also at a loss, but there was no other way than to send more people to supervise the battle, but just as the people in Qichang City were unstable, the Chen army outside the city was also in turmoil.

For a very simple reason, the water level in the south of Qichang City has dropped significantly.

There is only one reason for this phenomenon: some people in the upper reaches build dams to store water, and according to the normal tactics, when the upstream water level accumulates to a certain extent, the embankment will be destroyed and the water will be released, and then the people in Qichang downstream, especially the people by the river outside the city, will be unlucky.

Qishui flows from the northeast to the southwest and finally flows into the Yangtze River, and the city of Qichang is located on the bank of the river south of Qishui, so the terrain can easily lead to the city being occupied by people and attacking the upper reaches of the city, or the army that attacked the city but did not enter it was attacked by water.

When the soldiers approached the city of Qichang, they sent troops to search upstream along the shore, and sure enough, they found the dam set up by the Zhou army, after defeating the defenders, they opened the sluice gate and slowly released the water, and then demolished the dam, which was to minimize the danger of possible water attack.

The dilapidated dam is naturally guarded by soldiers, and now the water level in the Qichang River section has dropped suddenly, which means that there is a dam upstream to store water, if the dam is still in their own hands, it is impossible, so the only possibility is that the Zhou army controlled there and rushed to build the dam.

The Chen army encamped at the dam had 3,000 troops, and not only could they defeat them, but also left not a single person who escaped, and there was not a single corpse floating in the water, which means that the Zhou army attacked far more than 3,000 troops.

There are a lot of troops to divide the troops and rush upstream, so it is inferred that the large army of the Zhou army has arrived near Qichang, but Qichang City seems to be unable to hold the city wall, if it can be attacked into Qichang before the arrival of reinforcements, the outcome is still unknown.

So the difficult choice is now in front of the generals of the Chen army: what to do? (To be continued.) )
