The Chu army, which rested for the night, continued to attack the next day.

Originally, Sikong Wang Rong was also worried about the night attack of the Sui army, but the result was not at all. This Sui army is very interesting, they just stay in the camp as turtles and don't come out. If you don't take the initiative to hit him, they won't move. If you attack, they will return fire.

It seems that it is because of the weak troops that they adopt a passive defensive strategy!

The Chu army dispatched 5,000 troops to participate in the attack, a little more than yesterday.

Sikong Wang Rong stood on a high slope and watched the battle, his army was overwhelmed, and began to storm the enemy camp, almost the same as yesterday, knowing that it was close to the camp of the Sui army, the Sui army began to suppress with bows and arrows. Three rounds of bows and arrows came down, and the Chu army suffered heavy casualties, and retreated before they could get close to the camp.

After the Chu army retreated, Sikong Wang Rong grabbed the leader and scolded: "A group of stupid people, a small camp of only 2,000 people, retreated without even touching a side, what are you eating." Immediately reorganize the attack for me, and if I can't capture the camp, I won't have lunch at noon today. ”

The generals had no choice but to organize the army again to continue the attack.

After his subordinates led the troops away, Sikong Wang Rong also felt that it was too much, hundreds of people died in one attack, how many people had to die in a day?

No, it's not cost-effective to fight like this, you have to find a new way.

Sure enough, the second wave of attacks was no different from the first, and it didn't achieve anything except the death of a few more people.

Wang Rong was a little painful, it was only the second day, and nearly 1,000 people had already lost their combat effectiveness, and the attrition was too fast.

Wang Rong was also very wise, and looked at the other party's camp, the camp was strong, and the Sui army had a strong bow and arrow to block, and the Chu army was indeed difficult to capture. Even if more than 10,000 people attack together, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do so, who made our equipment too poor?

Hey, you can't do it during the day, you can sneak attack at night!

Stupid, so stupid, I didn't even think of such a simple thing?

"Withdraw, withdraw."

If they stopped fighting, the soldiers of the Chu army were happy now, and they were really afraid that the commander would let them continue to attack regardless of a single thing. The Sui army was well-equipped, and their bows and arrows were not a joke, but a drop of human life.

After the officers of the Xiaoguo army who fled back by boat from the Yangtze River returned to Jiangdu, the Great Sui Emperor Yang Guang learned that the military campaign against the Caoshi beggar rebels had failed, and even Liu Ziyi, the secretary of the imperial history, was killed in battle.

The Emperor was furious! It's breath-holding! Very disappointed!

The dignified Xiaoguo Army of the Great Sui Dynasty was defeated by the newly created Caokou, who would believe it? But again, that's what really happened.

Within a few days, Lu Chang of the Southern Army, who served as the escort baggage, sent someone to deliver a battle report.

Yang Guang, the Great Sui Emperor, could hardly believe that this was true when he first looked at the battle report.

You must know that from the mouth of the senior officer of the Xiaoguo Army who fled back to Jiangdu, Yang Guang knew that Lin Shihong was powerful. Of course, these people who fled back must have exaggerated Lin Shihong's strength.

Liu Ziyi led 20,000 troops and was almost served by Lin Shihong, and the southern army repelled Lin Shihong's tens of thousands of troops with 5,000 remnants and eliminated 10,000 rebels, which is really a bit incredible, too exaggerated.

However, why did Lu Chang dare to lie? It's a head-off thing. Therefore, Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Sui, believed that the good news was real.

Yang Guang, who was already embattled and depressed, was extremely excited to receive such good news on the occasion of the New Year. asked people to investigate Lu Changqi, who turned out to be the son of Lu Shen, the commander of Jiangdu County of the Great Sui Dynasty.

Yang Guang was both happy and regretful, why didn't he find out that this guy could fight like this before! sent out a scribe to serve Liu Ziyi, and the 20,000 army was defeated in the first battle.

I knew that Lu Chang could fight, let him lead the troops to command!

It's useless to regret it, but now I know. Yang Guang was extremely happy, and with a wave of his hand, he promoted Lu Chang and appointed Lu Chang as the general of Pingnan from Liupin, leading the Jiangnan crusade against Lin Shihong.

As for the reinforcement of the Southern Army, Yang Guang had a difficult time in his heart. The rebellion of the Great Sui Dynasty was rampant, and when Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, came to Jiangdu in July of the twelfth year of the Great Cause, Li Zitong was based on Hailing, Zuo Caixiang was in Huaibei, and Du Fuweitun **, threatening Jiangdu from three sides.

The soldiers in Yang Guang's hands don't dare to send them out anymore, these Xiaoguo troops in his hands are all life-saving family backgrounds, and one less is sent out, and the Jianghuai area is sinister.

I can't complain about the Great Sui Emperor Yang Guang's calculations about his little Jiujiu, the Great Sui Dynasty is not eroded, and the fear in Yang Guang's heart can be imagined.

Up to now, rebels have risen all over the country, especially in the north. Including the nobles and bureaucrats of the Sui Dynasty, there were many powerful landlords, and most of them supported troops to divide one side, the big one was called the emperor, called the prince, and the small one was called the chief and called the record. Mergers and wars are continuous.

Fortunately, Lu Chang temporarily withstood Lin Shihong's development momentum in Jiangnan, and if the Jiangnan rebels grew stronger, Yang Guangke, the emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, would be attacked on all sides.

Yang Guang understood Lu Chang's role very well, and had no choice but to send more than 1,000 infantry, 500 crossbowmen, and 500 cavalry to Lu Chang's small remnant army. Although there are not many soldiers and horses, how much should be interesting, right? In this way, Yang Guang still had some pain.

There is no shortage of ordnance and war horses, and the rich flow of oil in the Great Sui Dynasty is very generous with a stroke of Yang Guang's pen.

Yang Guang sent this bit of men and horses to let Lu Chang pacify Jiangnan, and even the ministers around him felt that they couldn't see it, Pei Shiju persuaded: "Your Majesty, plus these two thousand men and horses, Lu Chang is less than 10,000 horses, how can he be the opponent of Lin Shihong with more than 100,000 horses?" Too little. ”

Yang Guang began to make difficulties again, and he was reluctant to send many troops, after all, Jiangdu City was the top priority. If Lu Chang's Xiaoguo Army is not sent more troops, the few men and horses of the Southern Army will not be enough for the rebel Lin Shihong. Yang Guang has a headache!

After thinking and meditating, hey, Yang Guang suddenly got his senses and thought of the trick of writing a blank check to Lu Chang.

Yang Guang drafted an edict ordering Lu Chang to recruit soldiers and horses on the spot in the south of the Yangtze River, and to act cheaply wherever he went, so that the local support for the war was needed.

Yang Guang thought that this method was very good, and he did not need to send troops abroad, but also solved the problem of insufficient strength of the southern army. This trick is so good, even Yang Guang himself sighed.

However, what Yang Guang didn't know was that this would be cheaper for Lu Chang.

Yang Guang doesn't know the future development trend, Lu Chang knows! Now Yang Guang is too busy to take care of himself, and in the future, Lu Chang will toss as much as he likes to do in the south of the Yangtze River.

The most important thing is that Lu Chang knew that the Great Sui Emperor Yang Guang only had one year to live, that is to say, after a year, there was no one above Lu Chang to govern, and he was the emperor of the soil here in Jiangnan.

Yang Guang also knew that the military situation was urgent, and just after the New Year, he urged the army to help Lu Chang and set off.

1,500 infantry and 500 cavalry escorted all kinds of supplies to support Lu Chang's southern army.
