In the end, Jiang Buqi chose the second strategy, after all, he not only wanted to eliminate Gongsun Fang's forces, but also wanted to weaken the future enemy Jiujiang City.

That night, Jiang Bu's order was passed to Shi Jin, and he was obviously stunned for a moment when he was holding back enough to sneak attack Gongsun Fang from behind. However, although Jiang Buqi's order made him feel a little puzzled, he finally carried it out honestly.

Therefore, early in the morning of the second day, Gongsun Fang got a terrifying piece of information - Shi Jin really led the second battalion of Nanlian City over, and it was stationed not far from his own camp, if he led the army to attack Nanlian City, he would definitely be attacked by Shi Jin from behind!

However, although it was a little frightened, it was still expected, so Gongsun Fang was not too panicked, and he had no intention of retreating directly. Of course, even if you don't retreat, you can't rush into attack, you must be fully prepared. Therefore, for the next few days, he kept urging his soldiers to cut down trees to make siege equipment.

Seeing that Gongsun Fang was bent on exterminating Jiang Bu Budding, Wen Zhi shook his head, and there was always an ominous premonition in his heart. However, no matter how he persuaded him, Gongsun Fang just refused to retreat now, so he could only let it go.

On the third day, many siege equipment such as ladders and trebuchets had been erected in the camp of the Yuzhang City Guards, and these siege equipment were like monsters with teeth and claws, which regained the confidence of Gongsun Fang, who had been frustrated one after another.

However, just as he was in high spirits and preparing to attack the city on a large scale the next day, another bad news came - the army of Jiujiang City was coming!

This is the news that a scout desperately passed back, according to him, the army of Jiujiang City has appeared in the territory of Yuzhang County, and it will be able to appear under Yuzhang City in two days at most. Although there were 15,000 garrisons left in Yuzhang City, it was difficult for Li Shen's army to break through them in a short time, but Gongsun Fang was still frightened.

After all, Yuzhang City is his foundation, if it falls, he will become a rootless Ping, plus Jiang Buqi and Li Shen's encirclement and suppression, most of them will not end well!

"Lord, come back to help, we can't afford this risk!" As soon as he got this information, Wenji appeared in front of Gongsun again and opened his mouth to advise. This time, his attitude was extremely resolute, and he had the posture of Gongsun Fang not listening to him and admonishing him to the end.

Gongsun Fang sat on the chair and stared blankly at the ceiling. He knew that his expedition had been a complete failure, not only did he fail to exterminate Jiang Buqi's rebellion, but he also lost seven or eight thousand soldiers.

Of course, the most serious thing is not this, the most serious thing is that his prestige is damaged, and the morale of the army is extremely low. On the contrary, the morale of Nanlian City was greatly boosted, and it was impossible to easily eliminate it as one.

"Why did it end like this? From now on, I'm afraid that the boundary of Yuzhang County will really split into two forces......" Gongsun Fang seemed to be ten years old in an instant, and he felt very powerless when he recalled the experience of fighting Jiang Buqi during this time.

Seeing his appearance, Wenji originally wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. He originally wanted to remind Gongsun Fang that this defeat was not just as simple as making Jiang Buqi bigger, if he didn't come back quickly, it was very likely that the entire force would be swallowed up......

That night, the army of Yuzhang City still left, and when the scouts brought back this information, the ordinary people of Nanlian City were relieved, and in their minds, the crisis in Nanlian City was finally lifted, and the war was far away from them.

Jiang Buqi and Zhu Wu stood at the head of the city, neither of them spoke, but only looked at the slowly retreating army of Yuzhang City and showed a meaningful smile.

"Report, General Shi Jin, the captain of the second battalion of Nanlian, asked, is there a need for pursuit?" A herald suddenly appeared beside Jiang Buqi.

Jiang Buqi still looked at the direction of Yuzhang City, and waved his hand for a long time before he said: "No need, someone will help us clean them up, and all we have to do now is to wait, wait for the opportunity to come, and then give a swift blow!" ”

After Shi Jin learned Jiang Bu's words, he was a little puzzled, and only secretly said that it was a pity, and he was a little unwilling to let Gongsun Fang leave him like this. If he wants to, even if he can't annihilate it, it's good to gnaw some meat.

After a few days, however, his thoughts changed, and he even became a little stunned.

They received information that Gongsun Fang's army was ambushed by the army of Jiujiang City on the way back to Yuzhang City and suffered heavy losses. This is a standard strategy to encircle and send reinforcements, but unfortunately, even though Gongsun Fang and Wenzhi had long expected such a situation, they still could not avoid defeat, after all, the soldiers of Yuzhang City who had been frustrated one after another in Nanlian City had already lost their morale.

This battle lasted all night, and in the end, Gongsun Fang only broke out with more than 1,000 people and fled back to Yuzhang City in embarrassment.

Half a month ago, he left with a full 30,000 troops, but now he only returned with more than 1,000 remnants, and the impact of such a heavy loss on Yuzhang City can be imagined. At this time, Yuzhang City is like a leaf in a storm, which may be swept away at any time.

Although Li Shen of Jiujiang City won a big battle, he was not too happy, because in the ambush last night, he could not leave Gongsun Fang behind. If Gongsun Fang is killed, the remaining 15,000 defenders in Yuzhang City may directly open the city and surrender, and he can successfully take over Yuzhang City and more than double his territory in an instant.

And now, he can only continue to attack Yuzhang City and forcibly break down their gates.

But is it really that simple? In any case, Yuzhang City is also a main city, according to the hierarchy of the last days, Yuzhang City is a medium-sized county city, and its defensive capabilities can be imagined. You must know that Nanlian City, which allowed Gongsun Fang's 30,000 troops to return, is now just a medium-sized county town, a whole big difference.

Fortunately, Li Shen brought enough troops this time, although he lost a few thousand in the ambush battle last night, there were still more than 35,000.

Thirty-five against ten thousand five, it doesn't seem to have much advantage, after all, one side is the besieging side and the other side is the defending side. However, the morale of Yuzhang City has already dropped to the bottom, and from this point of view, it should not be too difficult to break it.

After discussing with the strategist Song Jiang repeatedly, Li Shen finally decided to attack Yuzhang City, after all, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity does not often appear, and if he misses this time, he doesn't know how long he will have to wait if he wants to get Yuzhang City again.

The only thing they were worried about was that Jiang would not give up, after all, Nanlian City and Nanshan City together still had a lot of soldiers to fight, and if they disrupted the situation when they attacked the city, there would inevitably be many variables. (To be continued.) )
