Chapter 290: Jingzhou's Strength
Tai Shi Ci finally won the vanguard general, but at this time the siege was blocked, his face was very embarrassed, his face was red, and when he saw that Zhou Tai was also blocked, he was slightly happy in his heart.
Zhou Yu finally came, and several people immediately stepped forward to pay their respects.
The military situation on the battlefield is urgent, everyone does not make greetings and politeness, and Zhou Yu also goes straight to the topic: "Generals, there are some changes in the battle situation this time, although Liu Yong is not in Jingzhou, he seems to have a back hand, Gan Ning seems to be ready to surround us here and annihilate them in one fell swoop!" β
As soon as these words came out, several generals were immediately a little dumbfounded, how could they become like this?
Zhu Zhi immediately asked: "Dudu, I also think it is strange, I just captured Niuzhupu, I also think that the defenders seem to be a lot less, and they are not like elite people, I originally thought it was strange, it turned out that there was a trick in it!" β
At this time, Zhou Tai also reacted, and he didn't care about wiping the dust and blood on his face: "That...... So what now? β
Zhou Yu looked around at the big and small generals, his eyes were firm, and he said categorically: "Capture Chaisang!" β
"We are all here for Chaisang, as long as we capture Chaisang City, the first can make everyone feel the shame of the defeat last time. In the second week, Tai can also take revenge on the last time. Third, as long as Chaisang is taken, Nanchang can be recaptured quickly, and then Yuzhang can be recaptured and Jiangdong's prestige will be reinvigorated, otherwise, once defeated again, Jiangdong will be even more unstable, and the situation is unpredictable! β
Tai Shi Ci had a hot temper, and immediately spoke: "Then what are you waiting for, even if you fight the last person, you have to capture Chaisang!" β
Zhou Yu saw that the others didn't speak, but they were all firm in their eyes and high-spirited, so he said: "That's good, everyone has no opinions, then Zhou Youping will lead the army to attack the city, Taishi Ziyi, Zhu Junli, respectively, led their men and horses to stop the Jingzhou soldiers and horses who came to besiege, I sit in the Chinese army, and support everywhere!" β
"No!" The generals are ordered to go!
Zhou Tai has just retreated, the siege trend has eased slightly, and the defenders at the head of the city have also breathed a sigh of relief, although the war is not over, but he is still alive, and the city has not been breached, which is enough.
Everyone immediately rested on the spot, and many women, children, and elderly people in the city brought food and water to the sergeants to quickly replenish some physical strength, and many people rescued the wounded, dealt with the sergeants who died in battle, repaired the damaged and damaged city walls, and transported the materials for defending the city, and the scene was still busy.
"Kill!" Hearing the sound of killing under the city again, everyone immediately grabbed the weapons in their hands and entered the battle state, while the women, children and old people also hurried down the city wall to hide. Some half-grown children witnessed the death of their relatives and brothers, and howled emotionally to defend the city, but they were finally taken down by everyone!
Lu Dai looked at all this and sighed very emotionally, the strength of Jingzhou is not only the strength of the military, but also the strength of the people's hearts!
Liu Yong made Jingzhou richer and richer, and most importantly, he made the people of Jingzhou see the hope of a peaceful and prosperous world. As long as Liu Yong is there, Jingzhou will not fall. LΓΌ Dai has also been in the army in Jiangdong for a long time, but he has never seen everyone so active in defending the city in the war: "The people's hearts are strong, Jingzhou is undefeated!" β
Lu Dai felt a sigh of emotion in his heart, and he was also glad for his choice.
Even the people are so active, he naturally wants to defend this small city to the end, not to mention that there are Gan Ning army and Shamoke, Cai Mao and others outside the city, they are absolutely superior, he is full of confidence!
"Take your positions and get ready to fight!" Lu Dai shouted. In fact, he doesn't need to shout, everyone is very conscious, and they are doing a good job. But he has his own plans, and he must make people remember his existence, which is related to his future career!
"Shoot the arrows!" Just when the besiegers reached thirty zhang outside the city wall, Lu Dai immediately gave an order.
One by one, the sharp arrows broke through the air, and instantly turned into a deadly blade, and the screams of the city immediately rang out, and countless people fell to the ground, trampled under the feet of the people behind, and became a blur of flesh and blood.
"Archer Suppression!" Zhou Yu saw that the offensive was suppressed, and immediately gave the order!
Of Zhou Yu's 20,000 Mali, the archers accounted for 5,000, and Zhou Yu pushed them all onto the battlefield in one fell swoop.
Five thousand archers, each with an arrow, can turn the head of the city into hell, and the slightest mistake will turn it into a hedgehog. When he saw five thousand archers appear in the city at once, Lu Dai's face immediately changed, and he immediately ordered: "Hurry up and put on the tarpaulin, be careful to prevent arrows!" β
Just when the first arrow was sent out by the five thousand Jiangdong archers under the city, the tarpaulin was arranged on the top of the city.
"Ahh Still, some people were shot and fell to the ground. Next to Lu Dai, a person was pierced through the chest by an arrow and died on the spot. But it's already good, the casualties are not serious, it's a great luck in misfortune!
In a location in the city, Liu Ye is checking the catapult he invented, which is to wait until the critical moment to use, at this moment Zhou Yu's army came, did not choose to withdraw the army but continued to attack the city, it seems that Zhou Yu wants to fight to the death, Liu Ye is waiting for this time. He had just readjusted the range according to the position of the Koto archers.
"Pitcher ready! Put! Liu Ye signaled to start, and immediately a herald gave the order loudly.
"Whoosh! Sou! "Huge boulders flew straight into the sky from the ground in the middle of the city, and shot out of the city!
"What's that!" Someone in the Jiangdong Army outside the city saw many black dots flying out of the city, and they were puzzled in their hearts, and immediately asked.
"It's ...... It's stone! Yes...... Hurry up and hide" When they saw it clearly, some of the sergeants who knew about this super weapon immediately shouted that this was to dodge in a position that was considered safe, this was too powerful for manpower to resist.
"Ah...... Don't ......" The boulder flew quickly, and many of the sergeants who were slower to react were immediately frightened, and some of them were directly paralyzed on the spot. But before they had too much time to think, the boulder immediately rushed down like a visitor from outside the sky, smashing on the position with great might, and dozens of people disappeared in an instant, and many people were killed after being touched. Many people were so frightened by this tragic scene that they fainted on the spot. A large vacuum suddenly appeared in the array.
However, no one cared about grief, because they saw more boulders flying over, like the vision of a meteorite falling from the sky, spectacular and tragic!
The archer camp of 5,000 people was suddenly bombarded with thousands of holes and was unrecognizable.
Zhou Yu looked at such a tragic scene, wanted to cry without tears, and his heart was extremely painful, like a knife, and he hated Liu Yong and Jingzhou even more.
"Liu Yong, I, Zhou Yu, will not kill you, I will not be a man!" Zhou Yu was full of sorrow and made an oath.
"Haha...... Liu joins the army's catapult is really a broken artifact! Lu Dai was impressed.
"The wolf smoke rises, the rivers and mountains look north to the ......" A heroic song sounded at the head of the city, at first it was just one person singing, and immediately many people followed, and it instantly became a chorus of tens of thousands of people, shaking the mountains and rivers!
"Jingzhou is strong, and the hearts of the people are one!" Lu Dai sighed again.
