Chapter 220: Chaisang Breaks
Without waiting for Zhou Tai to count carefully, the sound of killing on the river on the right started again, and he saw a team of men and horses coming to kill, which was Cai Mao's 10,000 sailors. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Cai Mao originally wanted to wait for Zhou Tai to be defeated and retreated, but when he heard that Gan Ning had already killed Jiang Qin, he was afraid that Zhou Tai would also be beheaded and would not get credit, so he killed immediately, but at this time he encountered Zhou Tai's defeated army.
Zhou Tai was furious, this was simply a tiger falling into Pingchuan being bullied by dogs, how could he bear it, and immediately shouted orders to fight regardless of his injuries.
Cai Mao waited for work, he was very proficient in the naval army, and immediately let the archers release arrows, Jiangdong sergeants were injured a lot, many of them did not die in the previous battle, but they were killed by the rain of arrows at this moment, and the unlucky ghosts who defended slower were killed at the same time, and the Jiangdong army immediately paid a loss of nearly 1,000 people. Due to the loss of most of the ships, the remaining warships were crowded with sergeants, and many of them fell overboard in the tense crowding.
Zhou Tai didn't care about letting people salvage these people who fell into the water, so he ordered a direct attack to meet Cai He's warship head-on.
Cai He saw clearly in the bow of the boat, Zhou Tai was covered in blood, and it was difficult to walk, so he immediately concluded that he was seriously injured, and he was happy in his heart, and he was ready to kill Zhou Tai on this.
As soon as the two sides met, Zhou Tai's warship was hit by Cai He's warship and cracked, and the cabin was flooded. Cai He shouted, brandished his spear, and killed several Jiangdong sergeants in a row, and then killed Zhou Tai.
"Jingzhou Cai Zhong is here, Zhou Tai leaves his head!" Cai Zhong shouted.
Zhou Tai's nest fire, it was really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, and now even this little little-known Cai Zhong has to behead others, how can he bear it. Zhou Tai immediately endured the huge pain from the wound and lifted the halberd to fight Cai Zhong.
Cai Zhong saw that Zhou Tai was walking unsteadily, and the cold sweat on his forehead rained down, where could he not be happy in his heart: This Zhou Tai is obviously at the end of the strong crossbow, and now he is still strong, and I should make contributions to Cai Zhong today!
Cai Zhongli was happy, for fear that someone would rob Zhou Tai's head, and he didn't wait for his subordinates to attack together, so he immediately stepped forward alone and stabbed Zhou Tai with a shot.
As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he knows if there is one. Zhou Tai has experienced countless battlefields, and he can see Cai Zhong's details at a glance, sneering in his heart, and not saying much, so as not to make Cai Zhong vigilant, and just take the opportunity to behead Cai Zhong and boost morale.
Zhou Tai saw Cai Zhong's shot coming, and he didn't dodge until the tip of the gun reached half a foot in front of him, and then he used his uninjured left leg to slam his force, sideways to dodge, but the halberd in his hand stabbed Cai Zhong with a lightning speed. Cai Zhong saw that Zhou Tai's halberd was so fast, and immediately understood his carelessness, this Zhou Tai was obviously pretending to be a pig and eating tigers, but at this time, he couldn't dodge it at all, and watched the halberd pierce into his chest.
"It hurts!" This was the only feeling in Cai Zhong's mind, and his eyes turned black and fell on the bow of the boat.
Zhou Tai made a meritorious contribution in one fell swoop, killed Cai Zhong, ordered his own soldiers to cut off the head, and held it in his hand: "The enemy general has already awarded the head, and you will not surrender soon!" ā
The Jiangdong army was defeated by Gan Ning, and now seeing that his own master general was so seriously injured and able to kill the enemy general, he was immediately greatly encouraged, and his morale was really high, and he moved forward bravely. And Cai Zhong was beheaded, and his sergeants were immediately affected, and they were frightened, where they were still willing to move forward, and immediately retreated, so that the Jiangdong army could attack the warship even more.
In an instant, two boatloads of men and horses were killed. Fortunately, on the Shizi River, not all the warships were next to each other, and the Jiangdong Army could not continue to attack the warships behind.
Cai Mao was slaughtering, and he had already beheaded sixty or seventy Jiangdong Army in a row, and the sergeants under his command were also fighting forward with high morale. Suddenly, seeing the chaos of Cai Zhong on the right side of the film, he guessed that this younger brother must be bad again, and immediately urged his subordinates to continue to kill, and attacked in the direction of Zhou Tai, and at the same time ordered the archers behind to keep firing arrows at the sergeants on the enemy ship.
Zhou Tai was urging his subordinates to attack forward, hoping to pull back a game, but he was not prepared for a rain of arrows, and the sergeants were hit by arrows, Zhou Tai was injured because of his injuries, and his injuries were much worse, although he immediately waved his weapon to pick off the eagle feather, but he was still shot in the chest with an arrow and immediately fell on the boat.
The soldiers on the left and right saw Zhou Tai falling, for fear that something would happen, and immediately retreated to the rescue, and found that Zhou Tai was injured again, bleeding all over the ground, and did not dare to slack off.
The deputy general was even more shocked, he thought that he was not seriously injured when he saw Zhou Tai kill the enemy general, but at this time he knew that Zhou Tai was holding on hard and did not dare to fight, so he immediately ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops and withdraw his troops downstream.
The Jiangdong Army, hearing the order to withdraw, had no choice but to abandon the opponent at this time, retreat its own warship, and immediately protect Zhou Tai's retreat. Cai Mao naturally would not let go of the opportunity and ordered the pursuit.
The two armies launched a pursuit on the river, the Jiangdong side struggled to escape, the Jingzhou side pursued with all its might, and the warships that escaped slowly were immediately surrounded by several standing boats and slaughtered, and were quickly slaughtered. The two armies only pursued for fifty miles on the river in a row, and Cai Mao was afraid that there were other Jiangdong people who came to the rescue in front of him, so he didn't dare to go deeper, so he had to withdraw his troops. At this time, I learned that my younger brother Cai Mao had been killed by Zhou Tai. But at this time, there was no choice but to retreat to the city of Chaisang.
After Gan Ning killed Zhou Tai, due to the beheading of Jiang Qin, the morale of his men and horses was high, and he remembered Chaisang City in his heart, and killed Lu Dai who came to fight.
Although Lu Dai had some ability, his men and horses lacked actual combat experience, and they had not undergone much training, so they were not the opponents of the Jingzhou army at all. Lu Dai saw that Zhou Tai had retreated, and knew that he could not defeat Gan Ning today, so he could only withdraw his troops, hoping to enter the city and defend it. Along the way, it was inevitable that they would be chased and killed by Gan Ning's troops, and 1,56 people were killed and wounded again, and only more than 4,000 people were left to go ashore in a panic.
However, at this time, Pan Zhang and Zhang Hu were leading 10,000 elite men and horses to launch a rapid attack on the south gate of Chaisang.
Pan Zhang braved the arrows to cross the moat, held a weapon, cut the iron cable in one fell swoop, fell off the drawbridge, and the siege vehicle immediately drove under the city gate, constantly hitting the city gate.
Zhang Hu led a team of people to set up a ladder and climb upward. The defenders were originally watching the battle between the two armies on the north city wall, and when they saw the defeat of Lu Dai, they were about to open the city gate to greet them, when they suddenly heard the white attack at the south gate, and they were naturally startled. At this time, there were only 11,000 men and horses in the city, and the strength of the city defense was much weaker.
Chaisang is only a small county town, except for the Yangtze River outside the city, the city gate is not too thick, and it was hit by the siege cone more than a dozen times in a row, and it was broken. Pan Zhang led people to attack the city, and Zhang Hu also happened to lead people to climb the city wall, and immediately fought with the defenders on the city wall, and soon occupied a large section of the city wall, and more soldiers then climbed up.
