The weather was hot and dry, and the smell of blood permeated outside Jingzhou.

Hou Junji and Su Dingfang each rushed over with 10,000 soldiers and horses.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Hedong, the king of Chu, chose to continue fighting.

On the city tower, a big man looked a little dignified, and he always felt that something was wrong there.

Suddenly, Dahan's face changed, and he secretly said that it was not good.

"Inform the prince quickly and return to the city as soon as possible."

"Mr. Jiang, the Tang army is just like this, why should it be returned, it is better to send out the 30,000 soldiers and horses in the city and end this battle directly."

A military general had some disdain in his eyes, and Jiang Buhe snorted: "This is the Tang army's plan to lure the enemy, let the prince come back quickly, otherwise our army will definitely suffer heavy losses." ”

The military general was still a little disapproving, but he didn't dare to disobey Jiang Buhe's order, and immediately sent someone out of the city to contact Li Hedong.

Under the city tower, Li Hedong was enjoying and killing crazy, and at this time, a soldier ran over: "Lord Wang, Mr. Jiang asked you to return to the city as soon as possible." ”

Hearing this, Li Hedong waved his hand: "Tell Mr. Jiang that this king is going to defeat the Tang army." ”

As he spoke, without waiting for the soldier to speak again, Li Hedong brandished his weapon and killed him again.

As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, who is not beaten from horseback?

Kill, kill.

Li Hedong had no intention of retreating.

And at this time, Hou Junji and Su Dingfang's soldiers and horses had already killed from both sides.

Qin Tian saw that the time had come, and immediately released the mad demon army.

"Kill!"

As soon as the mad demon army came out, the heavens and the earth seemed to change color, this is a crazy demon army, they are not afraid of death, as long as they enter the battlefield, they only know to kill, kill, kill!

The combat effectiveness of the Mad Demon Army was much stronger than those rebels that had been subdued before, and after Li Hedong's rebels encountered the Mad Demon Army, they suddenly felt a huge pressure, and one after another the soldiers were killed by the Mad Demon Army.

After a baptism of blood, the mad demon army has been reborn.

"What's going on?" Li Hedong also obviously felt the pressure, and he was faintly uneasy in his heart, he might be fooled.

It's just that now the Tang army has already arrived, and if he retreats, it's too late, as long as he gives the order to retreat, his entire army and horses will be in chaos, and once it is chaotic, it can only be slaughtered by the Tang army.

As soon as he thought of it, Li Hedong could only bite the bullet and continue to fight with the Tang army.

"Kill ......"

The Beacon Fire Army and the Demon Slaying Army have also been killed, their combat effectiveness is similar to that of the Mad Demon Army, maybe their training methods are different from Qin Tian's, but they are famous generals in the end, and their training methods are definitely not weak.

The Tang army surrounded the rebels from three sides, and then there were many battles.

The fight began in the morning and lasted until noon.

After the arrival of reinforcements, the Tang army became a crushing state.

There are fewer and fewer soldiers and horses around Li Hedong.

"Lord Wang, hurry back to the city." Jiang Buhe sent people again, although they had many soldiers and horses, but going out of the city to fight was very disadvantageous to them, so they could only hold on to the city.

The rebels have suffered serious losses, but at this time, Li Hedong has no other better choice.

"Retreat!"

The rebels began to retreat, and the Tang army harvested, and the rebels who were killed turned on their backs, until they were on this side of the moat, and finally stopped.

Li Hedong fled back to the city with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and in this battle, he lost half of his soldiers and horses, and there were originally 60,000 soldiers and horses, but now there are only a little more than 40,000 left.

On the Tang army's side, of course, there were casualties, but they quickly incorporated the rebels who could not flee back.

The afternoon sun was blazing, and the corpses outside Jingzhou City were piled up, and the smell of blood was pungent, attracting a lot of flies.

Li Hedong had already returned to the city tower, but his face was ugly.

He was a little regretful and a little angry.

If Jiang Buhe had come back when he had sent someone to call him for the first time, his soldiers and horses would not have been so badly damaged.

"Damn, I was fooled."

The angry Li Hedong hammered the city wall, but Jiang Buhe next to him seemed very calm, in his opinion, the more Li Hedong regretted it, the more dependent he would be on him in the future.

As a strategist, such a situation is successful.

"Lord Wang, although our army has suffered a heavy defeat, this does not mean that they will be able to capture Jingzhou City, this Jingzhou City has been widened and thickened over the years, let the Tang army double the number of soldiers and horses, they will never be able to attack, as long as they can't attack it, we can slowly consume them."

There is a lot of grain and grass in the city, and as Li Hedong, who has already plotted to rebel and has some ideas, he has already stored a large amount of grain and grass in Jingzhou City.

There is no problem with the Tang army.

Hearing Jiang Buhe's words at this time, Li Hedong could only nod, now, he didn't dare to go out of the city to fight again.

"Order down, let our soldiers guard the city gate at all times, we must be cautious, I heard that Qin Tian will make something similar to a Kong Ming lantern, which can float in the air, and beware of them entering my Jingzhou City from the air."

"Whoa!"

After Li Hedong's instructions and arrangements, he finally went back to rest.

At the same time, after cleaning up the battlefield, the Tang army had already led the soldiers and horses back to the camp, but this time, they met in one place.

Now, the rebels have known that they are just fake and disagree, and if they camp separately, their forces will be too scattered and not good, so although they are not in the same camp, everyone's camp must be closer.

"Okay, it's fun to kill, it's cool to kill."

As soon as he returned to the barracks, Cheng Chumo couldn't help but shout, this time everyone joined hands, he really felt cool, too cool.

Qin Tian is relatively much calmer, although he is not transcendent and extraordinary, but he can still do it without being happy with things and not being sad with himself.

Returning to the big tent, Qin Tiandao: "This method can only be used once, and next, I'm afraid that we will face a tough battle." ”

Li Hedong is different from Han Yi, it is useless to send people to rebel, after all, all he has is his own government soldiers, and these government soldiers are still very loyal to him, so what they can do next is to attack the city.

After Qin Tian said this, Hou Junji and Su Dingfang didn't think there was anything about it, when they captured Jingmen and Yichang, they didn't just take it hard, and now they want to capture Jingzhou City, what is it to them?

"Our Tang army has the Tang Divine Crossbow, and using the advantages of the Divine Crossbow as a cover, it can quickly attack the city, even if it is a tough battle, it is nothing."

"That's right, but it's just a rebel, what's there to fear?"

Hou Junji and Su Dingfang had no opinion on attacking the city, Qin Tian was more cautious and thought about it, after thinking about it, he really couldn't think of any other way to break the enemy, and finally he could only agree to attack the city.

"Okay, let the soldiers rest, and tomorrow morning, attack the city."
