"Hold on!" Looking at Fu Shiren who was not moving on the ground, Mi Fang calmed down, waved his hand and ordered someone to drag Fu Shiren away, and when the battle was over, he would liquidate, turning his head to look at Deng Ai, Mi Fang took a deep breath, hugged his fists and said: "Virtuous nephew, what to do next, you can give the order!" ”

"Three hundred crossbowmen are ready, at this moment, the Jiangdong soldiers and horses outside the city are probably already moving, dare to ask the prince to mobilize the soldiers and horses in the city, ambush the thief army......" Deng Ai paused when he said this, and said with a bit of murderous aura: "When the enemy will rush into the city, immediately put down the stone gate to block the city gate, and do everything you can. ”

"Good!" When Mi Fang heard this, he did not hesitate, and immediately mobilized his troops and horses to rush to the city gate, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to block the other city gates, so as not to prevent the Jiangdong army from attacking from other directions.

"Fujun!" At this moment, a general came in and saluted Mi Fang: "The people brought by Fu Shiren suddenly rebelled and attacked our army, and now they are guarding the city gate, and a large number of Jiangdong soldiers and horses have appeared outside the city!" ”

Mi Fang looked at Deng Ai, but saw Deng Ai nodding and said, "Do according to the plan!" ”

Mi Fang didn't say much, and directly turned around to mobilize soldiers and horses.

At the city gate, the general Jiang Qin led the Jiangdong naval army to the city gate, and the Jingxiang defenders, who were about to recapture the city gate, suddenly withdrew, making the soldiers and horses brought by Fu Shiren at a loss, but they were able to hold the city gate, and their task was completed, so naturally no one cared why the Jiangling defenders retreated.

When Jiang Qin led his troops to kill, only a large messy battlefield and scarred soldiers were left at the city gate.

"Where's Fu Shiren?" Jiang Qin looked left and right, but did not see Fu Shiren's figure, and frowned.

"Back to the general, after my general entered the city, he didn't come out again, and the siren sounded in the direction of the government office, and my general should have encountered an accident a long time ago!" A henchman of Fu Shiren said with a sad and indignant face: "Please avenge the general of my family!" ”

"Don't worry!" Seeing that the brigade of men and horses has entered the city, although there is resistance in the city, but it is not strong, it should be known that the city is broken, and escaped from the city, Jiang Qin can't help but sneer, although Lu Meng has not been there in person, but Jiangling has been carefully arranged, Jiang Qin led 5,000 soldiers and horses to rush into the city, but there are 5,000 troops of Zhou Tai outside the city to intercept, as long as Mi Fang chooses to abandon the city and flee, he will die.

With Fu Shiren, an inner ghost, Jiangling's situation in Jiangdong is well understood, Mi Fang can still support it for a while if he defends the city, if he really abandons the city and flees, there is only a dead end.

Seeing that the soldiers who rushed into the city were not intercepted too much, Jiang Qindang led his troops into the city and went straight to the direction of the government office.

It's just that the more he walked into the city, the more Jiang Qin felt that something was wrong, although the people in the city were panicked, they didn't see too many defenders, and only the side of the water village was in chaos, and there was not much commotion in the direction of the other three cities, and the teams sent from all directions didn't seem to cause too many casualties.

With a sinking in his heart, Jiang Qin's pace couldn't help but slow down a little.

At this time, a group of men and horses suddenly rushed out of the front, blocking the way of the Jiangdong soldiers, and before Jiang Qin could react, those people suddenly dispersed, and a strange crossbow machine aimed at the Jiangdong soldiers is a salvo, and the Jiangdong soldiers in the front row turned over on their backs in an instant, and fell down.

"Rush over!" Jiang Qin frowned and saw that the number of the other party was not too large, so he snorted coldly and prepared to forcibly charge into battle.

But the next moment, the Jiangdong soldiers and horses who had not yet launched the charge were hit head-on by the second wave of arrows, and the opponent's crossbow machine did not seem to need to be loaded with crossbow arrows.

The morale that was originally like a rainbow was splashed down like a basin of cold water in an instant, living up to the previous bravery, Jiang Qin was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to disperse, outflank them from the streets and alleys, and eat this group of men and horses, those crossbows are too powerful in this street and alley.

"Kill!" At this moment, two teams of centaurs suddenly came out on both sides, and the centaurs who had just been sent out were suddenly killed and scattered.

Hit the trick!

Jiang Qin was in danger, and at this moment he already knew that the other party had already prepared, and hurriedly ordered the army to withdraw from the city.

"General, the big thing is not good, the enemy army has lowered the stone gate of the city gate and cut off the soldiers and horses of our army!" A tooth general rushed to Jiang Qin's side and said with a panicked face.

Jiang Qin didn't know that he had been ambushed by the other party at this moment, Fu Shiren was afraid that he would have been exposed a long time ago, and the other party this time was clearly planning to lead himself to attack.

"Sound the arrows, inform General Zhou to attack the city, and the rest of the people will follow me to form a formation to defend themselves!" Jiang Qin was also decisive, knowing that it was difficult to get out of the city gate in a hurry, so he immediately asked the Jiangdong soldiers to use the houses in the city as a cover and wait for Zhou Tai to break the city.

Most of the soldiers and horses in Jiangling were taken away by Guan Yu, and there were only 5,000 people left in the defending army, and he contained the opponent's soldiers and horses here, and Zhou Tai added his soldiers and horses left here outside the city, but it was not difficult to attack the city!

Under the command of Jiang Qin, the Jiangdong soldiers quickly hid in the surrounding houses, relying on the terrain to entangle with the Jiangling soldiers and horses, Mi Fang's several attacks were repelled by Jiang Qin, and the power that the three hundred crossbowmen could exert at this time was also limited by the houses.

"Virtuous nephew!" Mi Fang hurriedly came to Deng Ai's side, frowned, and said: "There is news from the city wall, the Jiangdong thieves are storming the city, and there can't be too many soldiers and horses left here!" ”

Deng Ai ordered the crossbowmen to shoot their feet, and as soon as the opponent came up, they would immediately release their arrows, regardless of whether they could be shot or not.

"The prince of the mansion is going to go, leave a thousand people in me, move the surrounding residents out of here, and order people to bring more fire oil!" Deng Ai said in the end, with murder in his eyes.

"Virtuous nephew, you are going to ......" Mi Fang was startled, looked at Deng Ai and frowned, this is Jiangling City, once the fire is set on fire, the wind is together, this fire is not easy to control, if you are not careful, half of Jiangling may be burned directly!

"This is a private house, all wooden houses, the fire is together, I am afraid it is difficult to control!" Mi Fang frowned.

"You can order the people to demolish some houses to isolate the fire, this is an extraordinary time, and the king must not have the kindness of a woman!" Deng Ai said in a deep voice.

When Liu Yi built the fishing town, he was worried about the fire, because he told a lot of things about fire prevention and fire extinguishing, among which isolating the fire is a very important part, Deng Ai naturally knew that once the fire started, it would not be a good thing for Jiangling, but the matter has come to this point, and Jiang Qin's troops cannot be allowed to continue to wreak havoc in the city, otherwise it is difficult for these defenders in the city to take care of both sides, and it is inevitable that mistakes will occur in the end.

At least if Jiang Qin continues to be entangled here, there is a high possibility that Jiangling will be breached.

"Alas~" Mi Fang sighed heavily when he heard this, but he also knew that what Deng Ai said was good, and he left a thousand men and horses for Deng Ai to command, and led his own guards to organize the defense of the city, Mi Fang's ability may not be as good as Zhou Tai, but if it is just a defense, relying on the strong Jiangling city wall and the strength of the troops, it is not easy for Zhou Tai to attack it.

Deng Ai divided the area where Zhou Tai was located, and ordered a Jiangling Jiangling to lead 500 people to move the people, in fact, even if no one urged, when the surrounding people were fighting here, they had already begun to flee in all directions, and Deng Ai's purpose in sending people out was mainly to let people organize the people to demolish some houses, and at the same time carry the fire oil over.

"Go and bring some crossbow arrows, and each crossbowman will have one person by his side to help fill the crossbow box!" Deng Ai didn't dare to raise his head when he saw Jiang Qin being shot by the crossbow, and took the opportunity to say to the general left by Mi Fang.

The power of the crossbow is extremely great, especially with three hundred people, the power exerted is definitely no less than that of the thousand-person crossbow array, within thirty steps, even the wooden wall can be pierced, but the consumption of crossbow arrows is also very great, Liu Yi's crossbow is equipped with a crossbow box, driven by a chain, pull the chain with a winch, automatically fill the crossbow arrow and then launch, it is a little troublesome to fill, for this reason, each crossbowman is equipped with three crossbow boxes, but at this moment to suppress these Jiangdong soldiers, three crossbow boxes are obviously not enough, so people can only help fill them.

"Whoa!" The general agreed, and immediately complied, Deng Ai commanded the rest of the people to make a posture of being ready to attack at any time, with houses to cover, plus three hundred crossbowmen to attack sharply, Jiang Qin didn't know how many people there were on the other side for a while, so he could only order the soldiers to hide in the private houses and consume with the other party.

As time passed, large numbers of houses were demolished, and Deng Ai, in order to allow the people to actively cooperate, promised that after the war, the master craftsmen would lead the Tiangongfang to help them rebuild their houses.

What kind of official is the master craftsman, the people don't know, but the name of Tiangongfang can be said to be a household name in Jingzhou, and with Deng Ai's promise, the people's emotions have also been calmed down a lot, and they began to actively cooperate with the demolition work.

The attack of the Zhou Tai army outside the city has not stopped, but it has never been able to enter the city, and Mi Fang can still hold the city.

But Jiang Qin, who was trapped in the city, was a little anxious.

"General, that's not right!" Seeing that the day was about to pass and the sky was gradually darkening, a general looked at Jiang Qin with some confusion and frowned.

Jiang Qin nodded, he also found that there were more than 2,000 soldiers and horses entering the city on his side, it stands to reason that the other party can trap himself, and the soldiers and horses will be three or four thousand, so that the strength of the city defense is seriously insufficient, Jiangling City is so big, with Zhou Tai's ability, he only needs to divide the troops to attack, pull the opponent's line away, and maximize the advantage of troops, even if he can't break the city, he should be able to force Mi Fang to divide his troops to defend the city, Zhou Tai should send a signal to inform himself of the counterattack, but there has been no movement so far, which makes Jiang Qin have a bad premonition.

"Wait, wait until nightfall, and then break through immediately!" Jiang Qin said in a deep voice.

With the cover of the night, the power of the opponent's crossbow arrows is much smaller, since Zhou Tai can't count on it, he can only rely on himself, Jiang Qin is ready to break through at night, and by the way, put more fires, at least let the other party be busy for a while!
