The weather finally warmed, the southeast wind blew more and more strongly, after a period of preparation, Yang Lian has figured out the situation in Yuezhou, after the defeat of the Yuezhou Naval Division, Qian Hongyu urgently increased the troops in Yuezhou, plus the previous several increases, now there are 15,000 soldiers and horses in Yuezhou, including 5,000 elite soldiers and horses. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The number of soldiers and horses in Yuezhou is comparable to that of the Tang army, and they are defending the city, so they have a great advantage, in addition, Hangzhou also transported more than 2,000 catties of fire oil to assist in defending the city.

At the beginning of March, Yang Lian had almost prepared, the sailor took a small boat, entered the Yuezhou River, Yuezhou once sent a small boat to intercept, the two sides had many battles, each with losses, on the tenth day of March, the Tang army gradually controlled the waterway, Yang Lian led the troops to be stationed in Yuezhou outside the city of twenty miles, only ten miles away from the water village.

Just when Yang Lian was actively preparing to attack Yuezhou, there was news again, first of all, in the north, as the weather warmed, the Khitans attacked Zhou again, and the two sides confronted each other in the Zhaozhou area, and Liu Chong in Hedong changed his strategy, going south through Taihang Mountain, and going out through Huguan, preparing to seize Hezhong.

These news are not bad, but they are not good, it can only be said that the Khitans contained the forces of the Zhou State and allowed the Tang Dynasty to attack Wu Yue more calmly. However, there is very bad news from Chu, after the Tang Dynasty destroyed Chu, the Son of Heaven Li Jing has the intention of Nantu Southern Han, last year, the Inner Servant Province Cheng Pan Chongche, General Xie Guan was ordered to lead the army north to attack Chenzhou, Bian Ho to meet Shi Li, the Southern Han Dynasty to control the power of Lingnan strengthened.

This year, the war between the Tang Dynasty and Wu Yue was in full swing, knowing that Quanzhou and Guizhou recruited Zhang Luan to capture Guizhou, but was defeated by the Southern Han Dynasty, and the commander of the army made Hou Xun die, under the elimination of the other, Liu Sheng, the lord of the Southern Han Dynasty, sent Pan Chongche to lead the troops to the north, entered Hunan and fought for land with the Tang Dynasty, several generals of the original Chu State, Zhou Xingfeng, Wang Kui, Pan Shusi, Zhang Wenbiao and others responded one after another, attacking the states and counties controlled by the Tang army, and the initial battle of Bian Ho was unfavorable, so he had to abandon the city and leave.

Zhou Xingfeng, Wang Kui and others did not have the idea of getting involved in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but they just stuck to Tanzhou, Langzhou and other places, and sent people to the Great Zhou to express their surrender.

After Yang Lian learned about the battle situation in Chu, although he didn't know that the Chu people had sent people to Da Zhou, he knew that things were not good, the battle situation in Chu was beyond his expectations, and Zhang Luan's advance angered the Southern Han Dynasty, resulting in a series of reactions, which was very unfavorable for the Tang Dynasty.

Judging from the information that Yang Lian has, although there is no sign of troops in the old land of Chu, the Southern Han Dynasty has already stationed troops in Xiongzhou on the border, intending to attack Qianzhou in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that the Son of Heaven has ordered Bian Hao to lead the soldiers and horses in Jiangxi to the south to support Qianzhou.

"The Southern Han is really hateful, but it is bad at this juncture." Lin Renzhao looked very angry, attacking Wu Yue was the most critical moment, if Wu Yue was taken, the Tang Dynasty would be able to dominate Jiangnan, which was obviously not what the Southern Han in the south wanted to see.

Yang Lian frowned, the Southern Han Dynasty happened to enter the army at this time, it is obviously not a coincidence, it is very likely that they received a request for help from the Wu Yue people, and their lips are cold, if Yang Lian is a native of the Southern Han Dynasty, he will not watch the Tang Dynasty dominate the south of the Yangtze River.

"Don't get in the way, although the military talent of the side pickaxe is insufficient, but the enemy is outside the door, there should be no big problem. It is a big deal for us to defeat Wu Yue in time. Yang Lian nodded.

On the side, Zhang Wenji nodded and said, "Yang Jiedu, Yuezhou City is heavily guarded, and if you want to take it, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”

Lin Renzhao said: "In particular, the Wu Yue army has a large amount of fire oil, and the lethality is very large, even if our army captures Yuezhou, the loss will inevitably be huge." ”

"It's a pity that the Hangzhou sailor is too tenacious, otherwise we can start from Hangzhou." Zhang Wenji interjected and said.

Lin Renzhao smiled bitterly, Shao Keqian guarded the Hangzhou Water Village, like a hard stone, no matter how he knocked it, he couldn't break it, which made him very depressed.

Yang Lian waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. You see, Yuezhou is close to the sea, and the rivers in the territory are criss-crossed, so I thought that if you want to conquer Yuezhou, you still have to start with the sailors. ”

Lin Renzhao said: "Yang Jiedu, what do you mean?" ”

"The naval division is the mainstay, and the army is the auxiliary." Yang Lian said.

Lin Renzhao nodded, there is a possibility of a water war in Yuezhou, and there are many soldiers in the Tang Army's water division, so they can fight.

Zhang Wenji pursed his lips, listened to Yang Lian and Lin Renzhao talk in detail about the strategy of capturing Yuezhou, half an hour later, the matter was almost discussed, so he gave the order to go down, and the three armies rested early and prepared to attack the city the next day.

At this time, inside and outside the city of Suzhou, corpses are everywhere, the city wall has become dark red, the canal has become muddy, with a strong smell of blood, Qian Wenfeng stood on the head of the city, his eyes were full of bloodshots, in the past few months, the Tang army was not afraid of death to attack the city, at least more than 10,000 casualties, but every morning, the Tang army still attacked the city.

"Zhou Zong is crazy." Qian Wenfeng's lips squirmed and he said four words.

Beside him, the eldest son Qian Chengwu was dressed in armor and said: "Father, the Tang army has been attacking Suzhou for several months, and I think I am already tired, but tonight the child led the troops to attack the Tang army camp, maybe it can have an effect." ”

Qian Wenfeng shook his head, he didn't want this method, the Tang army was heavily guarded, it was difficult to sneak attack, he didn't want his son to take risks, at this time he hoped that his second son Qian Chengli could do things in Jinling and force the Tang army to retreat, so that Suzhou would have a chance to breathe.

"Father, we can't let the Tang army continue to attack the city anymore." Qian Chengwu said again.

Qian Wenfeng looked around, on the city wall, Wu Yuebing was lying horizontally, seizing the time to rest. Wu Yuebing's body is full of colors, which shows the severity of this battle, the Tang army suffered large losses, is his loss not great? At this time, the two sides are supporting willpower, and whoever can't withstand the collapse first will fail.

"Pass the order, if the Tang soldiers are repulsed, Suzhou will be exempted from taxes for three years." Qian Wenfeng made a decision, Suzhou is the land of fish and rice, and the tax for three years is a lot, but if Suzhou is lost, the Qian family will not get a penny.

"Whoa!" Qian Chengwu agreed.

At this time, after a period of preparation, the Tang army outside the city once again launched temporary cars, rushing cars and other objects, and continued to attack Suzhou City.

Outside the city, Zhou Zong looked at Suzhou City with blazing eyes, the colorful blood stains on the city wall have faded, and they are dyed red by new bloodstains, this battle, I don't know when it will be fought, but Zhou Zong has no way to retreat, he can only continue to add troops to attack the city, do not achieve the goal, and vow not to give up.

Zhou Ye slowly walked up from behind, glanced at Zhou Zong, and said, "Zhou Situ." ”

"General Zhou, are you here?" Zhou Zong smiled, turned around again, and said, "This Suzhou City can't last for a few days." ”

Zhou Ye pursed his lips, feeling a little disappointed in Zhou Zong in his heart, but this has nothing to do with him, as long as his henchmen are not in serious trouble, even if Tang Jun dies no matter how many people die, he will not feel distressed. Zhou Ye stood still behind Zhou Zong, looking indifferently at Suzhou City, this city, he had guarded it with his father, the Yang Wu court at that time had briefly controlled Suzhou City, but since then, Suzhou has fallen into the hands of Wu Yueren, and has never changed its owner.

Suzhou is an important town, Qian Yuanhui has been operating here for many years, it can be described as solid, if it were not for this time Qian Wenfeng's power in Changzhou, and was attacked by Chai Kehong again, Wu Yuejun would not be so weak at all, but even so, the newly defeated Wu Yuejun still held Suzhou City, which shows that Qian's many years of operation in Suzhou are effective.

When the two were talking, Chai Kehong also walked up slowly, his eyes were a little cold, in his opinion, Zhou Situ was so fearless of death to send troops to attack the city, it was really crazy. This time, the Son of Heaven handed over the forbidden army to him, just to successfully take the fat of Suzhou, but Zhou Zong would only forcibly attack the city, and now more and more soldiers were killed in Suzhou, and the army began to complain.

Join the army, they all want to make contributions, glorify their ancestors, but Zhou Zong does not talk about the strategy of attacking the city, and does not take the soldiers seriously at all, this Suzhou city has become a meat grinder, and the soldiers killed on both sides may have exceeded 15,000 people, even if this victory is triumphant, I am afraid that Jinling City will cry.

"Zhou Situ, this city can't be attacked like this." Chai Kehong has a more upright personality, so he said.

Zhou Zong turned his head when he heard this, frowning slightly, he knew that Chai Kehong had a good relationship with King Yan, and he was also ready to rely on King Yan to fight against Yang Lian against King Qi, so in his heart, he took Chai Kehong as his own person, even if it was a siege, he did not let Chai Kehong go into battle in person.

Zhou Zong felt that he was very good to Chai Kehong, but Chai Kehong's upright words made Zhou Zong a little embarrassed, his face was gloomy, and he said, "Oh? So what does General Echai mean by attacking the city? ”

"Zhou Situ, Suzhou City has been besieged for several months, and the last time I was frightened by the last general, as long as I take the technique of attacking the heart, it will definitely work." Chai Kehong said.

"Oh? In this way, if the old man conquers Suzhou, General Chai will be the first to act. Zhou Zong sneered.

It was a pity that Chai Kehong didn't hear it, and hurriedly shook his head, and said: "Zhou Situ, the last general doesn't dare, the last general just thinks that the loss is too great to attack the city like this." ”

"Hey, hey." Zhou Zong sneered twice and said, "General Chai, when the old man fought on the battlefield back then, I'm afraid I didn't have you." ”

Chai Kehong was stunned for a moment, he saw Zhou Zong's banter on his face, and immediately understood that he had been teased by him, but national affairs were important, Chai Kehong still insisted on his own ideas, and said: "Zhou Situ, the last general means ......"

"Needless to say, what do you mean, the old man understands very well! Stand down, you are ready to prepare and wait for the siege! Zhou Zong said.

Chai Kehong pursed his lips and glanced at Zhou Zong, the fist hidden behind him couldn't help but clench, but he still controlled his emotions very well, and said bluntly: "Oh!" He turned around and hurried away.

"General Zhou, you must be strange that the old man did this." Zhou Zong asked.

Zhou Ye nodded and said, "Zhou Situ, I would like to hear about it." ”

Zhou Zong stroked his beard and said, "This matter is a long story, you will know it in the future." As long as we serve the Yan King, we will enjoy endless benefits. ”

Zhou Ye smiled and said, "Zhou Situ, now Suzhou City is almost unable to hold on, just wait for Zhou Situ to break through Suzhou and make immortal achievements." ”

Zhou Zong laughed, at this time, the Tang army had already prepared everything and began to kill towards Suzhou City, and in an instant, the sound of drums, fighting, and Jin Ge resounded through the world and filled the eardrums. (To be continued.) )
