Chapter 958: Two armies rush to help

New information kept coming, and Huang Gai and the others also felt that Zhang Yu's purpose was to occupy Poyang Lake.

Huang Gai and Jiang Qin both felt that the matter was serious, if Poyang Lake was lost, then Sun Ce would lose a foot.

The value of Poyang Lake is extremely high, and after several years of development, it produces a lot of it every year.

"It will take a few days for the news of the lord to arrive, we must first ensure that several important cities here will not be lost, and the rest will be talked about when the support arrives." Huang Gai said.

The two decided to support the county seat of Lujiang County, as long as the county seat of Lujiang County was not lost, they still had a chance to recover all the lost land.

Huang Gai and Jiang Qin gave up attacking Chao County, and they also understood that there would definitely not be few defenders in Chao County, and they would not be able to defeat them in the short term.

In fact, what they don't know is that even if they fight out 100,000 troops, I'm afraid there is not much chance of taking Chao County.

There are tens of thousands of troops in Chao County, and it is an important military town, and a large amount of grain is hoarded in it, how can Guo Jia have no arrangements for Chao County.

Huang Gai and the others packed up their troops and left without hesitation, although they lost thousands of soldiers and horses, but they also confirmed many things.

The two led the army south, one for the forward and the other for the rearguard, and they did not dare to be careless.

When they left, Ling Cao and Guo Jia also split up.

Guo Jia took 100,000 people, 20,000 Jiangdong soldiers and horses, and 80,000 Fusang troops to the direction of the county seat.

Ling Cao continued to lead his army to attack the city heading south.

Now Jiangdong soldiers and horses, attacking in all directions, blooming everywhere, because they came too suddenly, so far Sun Ce's side has not fully figured out what Zhang Yu and they are going to do.

Zhang Yu's army began to prepare very early, with concentrated forces and clear goals.

At this time, Zhu Zhi was not in a very good mood, and on the third day, Zhang Yu's army was still attacking frantically.

Maintaining such a high-intensity offensive would be difficult for an ordinary army to withstand.

Not only are there huge casualties, but the soldiers are also very tired and their morale is greatly affected.

However, Zhu Zhi ran into it this time, and from the third day onwards, his archers were almost exhausted.

Some of the improvised archers were no match for the Koto archers, and it didn't take long for them to fall into disadvantage.

Zhu Zhi had to order the soldiers to pay attention to the defense, and did not dare to continue fighting.

Originally, it was expected that Jiangdong's soldiers and horses would weaken under the heavy casualties, but the result was not.

Even though the army in Koto suffered heavy casualties, it still maintained a high-intensity attack.

Zhu Zhi changed his strategy, paying attention to casualties and defending carefully.

It was a very tough day.

Jiangdong's soldiers and horses rushed to the city wall several times, but they were all driven down again.

This time, the casualties on both sides were leveled out again, and both sides paid the price of more than 5,000 people.

In the evening, several young players got together again.

"I just received an order from the military division, and they will not arrive until one day, so we want to continue to maintain a high-intensity offensive for one day."

"One day, now the army is exhausted, and the casualties are so great, that morale has suffered."

"Tomorrow, a few of us will personally lead the attack in person, otherwise it will be difficult for the army to maintain its current state."

"That's the only way, for the sake of the lord, for the sake of our people in Jiangdong, fight."

"Fight."

Several youngsters rekindled their passion.

Zhu Zhi also arranged troops in the city, and the three-day high-intensity battle made their army very unstable.

"Tomorrow, Jiangdong's army should not be able to maintain such a high-intensity attack, we will replace half of the defenders with the family's guards, so that our army can have a good rest." Zhu Zhi said.

In the second half of the day, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses had already shown their decline, and their morale was no longer so strong.

Zhu Zhi's proposal, all the generals agreed, and the three days of fighting were really hard.

After the military council, the crowd dispersed.

On this night, both sides regained their strength.

Huang Gai and the others accelerated to the south to support, and Guo Jia and the others also hurried day and night.

On the fourth day of the siege, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses came to the city again.

Zhu Zhi was at the head of the city early, his face was serious, and his eyes were staring at the city tightly.

Several young generals arrived at each station, and the archers lined up.

"Brothers, you will rush with me later, and open up the territory for the Lord."

"For the sake of the lord, kill."

"Jiangdong soldiers and horses, invincible, will break through this city today."

"Make the enemy tremble."

The youngsters are cheering up, which is very necessary to make the soldiers burn their blood.

The army swept away its exhaustion, roared again, and prepared to kill.

"Kill."

At the very beginning, the army went up again like a tidal wave, as if it were going to use a wave to slap the city apart.

"How is it possible, it is even more violent than the previous three days."

Zhu Zhi didn't understand what kind of army this was, and why it was so brave and abnormal.

This is the fourth day, and Zhu Zhi even suspects that they secretly replaced the army last night.

However, in fact, they did not replace it.

Several young generals took turns to lead people to attack, and once attacked the city, and even the city head was occupied by them for a while.

Zhu Zhi urgently transferred the main army and personally led people to drive down the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong.

This time, he didn't dare to use the family's family to defend it, so he redeployed their army.

The battle was fierce, and both sides fought against each other in the city.

This Lujiang County seemed to be crumbling, as if it was about to be broken in the next moment.

However, the army in the city still had the strength to fight back, and under the leadership of several generals, the soldiers and horses of Jiangdong were driven back.

The battle was extremely tragic, with more than 7,800 soldiers and horses in Jiangdong and three young generals killed.

And Zhu Zhi's soldiers and horses were not much better, and they also died more than 7,000 in battle.

Both sides are suffering huge casualties.

Zhu Zhi had no choice but to ask for help.

At night, in the military camp in Jiangdong, a sad atmosphere was permeating.

The battle was fierce, with heavy casualties, and three of the young generals who led the people to storm the city walls were killed.

The army was immediately readjusted, and some junior generals were promoted to temporarily fill vacant positions, and the army also needed to be temporarily reorganized.

"According to the order of the military division, tomorrow we will rest and recuperate, adjust the army, and there will be a bloody battle later."

"The casualties this time are too great, but if Lujiang County can be captured, the sacrifice is worth it."

"The lord needs to break through, lay out the overall situation, hand over this important task to us, give us so much trust, and we must complete the task."

"Our army has never had to rush forward, as long as the order is given, unless we die, we will not retreat."

Several youngsters reached a consensus.

At this time, Guo Jia had already moved to the surroundings, 100,000 soldiers and horses, under the rapid march, rushed to Huang Gai and they arrived around Lujiang County in advance.

"Huang Gai, as long as we eat your 100,000 soldiers and horses, we will have a great advantage in this Yangzhou."

Guo Jia's goal is not only a city, but most importantly, to destroy the enemy's army, and only by destroying the enemy's army can he achieve greater victory.
