Chapter 575: Soldiers are on the verge of Shouchun
Knock knock knock......
The drums resounded in the sky, and groups of soldiers in armor poured in like a tide, and the boundless murderous aura swept in. The huge banner of Jia Zi waved in the wind, and then one phalanx after another stopped beyond the range of the arrows.
Jia Nian stretched out his hand and pulled the reins, his eyes looked directly at the figure above the city tower, revealing a complicated expression.
Liu Ye, who was riding a war horse, looked at Jia Nian and shook his head secretly.
"The Lord"
"Jingzhou raised 50,000 troops to attack Runan, and Yuan Yuzhou urgently returned to help, leaving more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Shouchun"
"I'm afraid that this battle needs to be attacked"
The voice fell, and the aura of slaughter became a little thicker, and Jia Nian's gaze moved from the city tower to Liu Ye. Weighing the current situation in my heart, it is difficult to make a decision for a long time.
Shouchun is the place where the state of Yangzhou is located, and the geographical location is very important, which determines the offensive and defensive trend of the south and the Central Plains.
If Jiangnan has Shouchun, it will be able to worry about the future, and the gateway to the Central Plains will be wide open. Similarly, if Shouchun is not in the hands of Yangzhou, then Jiangnan can only passively be on the defensive, and most of the area north of the Yangtze River will be gradually lost.
At that time, relying on the Yangtze River to survive, he was unable to go north to the Central Plains states.
Therefore, Shouchun must be taken, even if the blood of Jiangnan is shed for this, maybe this city must be taken. This is a battle of luck, and there is no room for retreat. Even Qiao Rui and Sun Ce couldn't stop it.
"Where is Gan Cunxiao?"
"In"
"Point 3,000 soldiers and storm Shouchun"
"No"
Gan Cunxiao shouted loudly.
Looking at the majestic Shouchun City in front of him, the battle intent in his eyes seemed to be substantial. Qiao Rui's troops are just surviving, and now they can't escape defeat when they retreat to the city. His eyes narrowed into a slit, and the killing intent swept in all directions. Then he suddenly opened his eyes, stretched out his hand and patted the war horse and galloped forward.
"Kill"
"Kill"
The three thousand soldiers roared in unison, turning into a torrent and pounced fiercely.
Qiao Rui, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu, who were standing on the city tower watching the battle, looked at the countless scarlet blood bars, and their hearts sank to the bottom. Unexpectedly, the army came from afar, so he couldn't wait to storm Shouchun. Is it really going to be papier-mâché? So easy to bully.
"Shoot the Arrow"
"Shoot the Arrow"
There was no need to command the walls of the city to hear a violent roar.
An archer named Yuan loosened the bowstring, and the arrows flew into the sky.
"Woo Woo ......"
The sky suddenly darkened, and the sound of breaking the sky was heard in my ears.
In an instant, the arrows rained down, and the dense damage value was all over the eyes. The blood bars on the heads of the three thousand Jiangnan soldiers also appeared in a mutilated state of different sizes. Gan Cunxiao braved the rain of arrows and walked forward quickly, and swung it fiercely at the city gate.
"Bang"
The broadsword slashed into the gates, unleashing a massive wave of damage, but it was nothing compared to the desperate health bar.
A soldier named Jiangnan ran to the city wall, untied the rope around his waist, and threw it at it.
"Bang ......"
The iron claws fell to the top, and the soldiers of Jiangnan stretched out their hands and pulled them, and climbed up with the help of ropes.
As far as the eye could see, the walls of the city wall were covered with human figures, and the dense density made people feel a wave of despair. The generals of the Yuan clan on the city wall in their hands hurriedly took the soldiers under their respective commands and fought on the city wall. When he met the rope, he raised his blade and slashed it down.
"Boom"
There was a loud bang.
The siege vehicle that appeared at some point was actually pushed outside the city wall. Dozens of middle-aged strong men with tigers on their backs shouted slogans and crashed into them.
The gate shook and the massive damage bar appeared above, and the desperate health bar was crippled.
"General"
"The Last General Asks for War"
Sun Ce, who was standing on the city tower, said loudly to Qiao Rui.
The siege vehicle has reached the city gate, and the cavalry must be dispatched to destroy it, otherwise the city gate is in danger of being breached. Although Shouchun can be lost, it definitely can't be now.
"Dangerous Outside the City"
"Rashly lead the troops out of the city, only afraid of ......"
Qiao Rui showed a tricky look.
Sun Ce is an excellent candidate for his son-in-law, and it would be a pity if there was a mistake. At that time, did he really let his daughter marry Jia Nian? The Jia family in Wanxian County is really unthinkable.
It's just that her daughter is in Anhui County and can't influence this matter. But if you want Ben to admit it, that's absolutely impossible.
"Generals need not be sorrowful"
"The last general has been in battle for a long time, and thousands of soldiers and horses are rarely able to live with us"
The voice fell, followed by a wave of arrogance spreading, and Sun Ce straightened up and shouted for his life.
Qiao Rui looked at the enemy soldiers below who seemed to be like a tide, as well as the siege vehicles, so he gritted his teeth and made a choice. At this time, destroying the siege engine is the best policy, otherwise the city gates will be wide open, and the morale of the enemy soldiers will inevitably skyrocket. In the case of insufficient troops, if you want to hold Shouchun, I am afraid that it is a fool's dream.
"Since General Sun insists on doing so, Ben will definitely not stop it"
"4,000 troops were handed over to General Sun to go out of the city and destroy the siege vehicles"
"No"
A soldier was violent.
Sun Ce hurriedly spoke.
"Slow"
"The war is tight, it is not appropriate to send too many troops, it is enough to have 1,500 soldiers and horses in the headquarters"
"This?"
Looking at Sun Ce, who had a proud face, Qiao Rui hesitated again.
Outside the city, 3,000 soldiers and horses stormed Shouchun, and the siege vehicles had arrived at the city gate, and there were tens of thousands of reinforcements in the rear. With only 1,500 soldiers and horses, can you really destroy siege vehicles? I'm afraid it's too difficult.
Moreover, the Sun clan can gain a foothold under the command of the lord, relying on this private army, if there is damage, how to deal with Runan.
Sun Ce thought of the plan that Zhou Yu had set on the road, and his arrogance became a little more vigorous. This battle determined his position in Yuan Yuzhou's heart, and it was also destined whether the strategy of attacking Guanzhong could be successfully implemented. Therefore, the private army must shed blood in order to open a broad path for the rise of my Sun clan.
looked around the downstairs of the city, and finally fell into a phalanx, shouting loudly at the top of his voice.
"Where are the generals of the Sun family?"
"In?"
"Will you go out of the city with me and destroy the siege engines"
"Wish"
A short word erupted with a sky-high battle intent, and the eyes of the 1,500 Sun private soldiers were filled with cold killing intent. Recalling the fiasco outside Jianye City and on the Yangtze River, a sense of humiliation arises spontaneously.
Sun's soldiers are not cowards, even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers ahead, they dare to grit their teeth and cross at the cost of their lives.
"Please allow the general to go out of the city and destroy the siege engines"
"Quasi"
Qiao Rui felt a sense of death from this voice, so she said loudly.
Does it still make sense to block at this point? The elite soldiers of the Sun clan are unparalleled, and they are one of the few strong soldiers under the command of the lord, and they will definitely be able to destroy the siege vehicles and severely demoralize Jia Nian'er. It is not impossible to drag the troops to Yuzhou to help.
The desperate heart beat at the thought of this, and there was a sign of recovery.
As long as it can hold on for a month, even if Yuzhou does not move and does not repel Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Xuzhou can also free up his hands. At that time, troops were dispatched from Guangling, and Jiangnan changed hands only overnight.
