Chapter 242: The Lord of a County (Ending)
After thinking about it carefully, Li Shen finally classified Jiang Buqi as a non-threatening category. After all, Jiang Buqi only had a total of 15,000 soldiers to fight, and he had endured the attack of Gongsun Fang, so it was already good to be able to mobilize 10,000 people at this time. In addition, it is necessary to leave some people to guard Nanlian City and Nanshan City, as long as they are vigilant, it is impossible to pose a threat at all.
However, they miscalculated a little, although Nanlian City was besieged for several days, in fact, it did not lose many troops, even if there were not fifteen, there were thirteen thousand. In addition, with the Ministry of Public Security to maintain law and order in the city, these more than 10,000 combatable soldiers can be dispatched completely.
A few days later, the county town of Yuzhang City had been holding out for three days under Li Shen's wanton bombardment. During these three days, Gongsun Fang and Li Shen were in a very bad mood, especially Gongsun Fang, who was standing at the head of the city at this time, looking twenty years older than half a month ago.
Half a month ago, he was still in high spirits and was ready to exterminate Jiang Buqi, a traitor, who knew that it would become the current situation?
Li Shen stood in the camp, looking at Yuzhang City not far away, although he couldn't see Gongsun Fang at the head of the city, he could feel his presence.
"It's all at the end of the road, and you won't open the city and surrender, idiot!" Thinking of the losses in the past few days, Li Shen couldn't help but scold. In the past three days, every time I attacked the city, I felt that Yuzhang City was going to fall, but in the end, it was always a little bit worse......
This point represents the lives of countless people, and it is also the lives of our own soldiers!
He roughly estimated that in the past few days, he had already dropped more than 10,000 corpses under Yuzhang City! These are all the capital of his life!
After spending such a big price, if he still can't capture Yuzhang City, he probably has the urge to vomit blood.
"Soldiers, Yuzhang City doesn't have much defense, you must capture it today and give it to me. Those who climb the city tower first will be promoted to the third level and will be rewarded with a piece of gold equipment! ”
Li Shen gritted his teeth and ordered the soldiers to rush towards Yuzhang City again, and suddenly the black pressure was overwhelming, like locusts.
At the head of the city, Gongsun Fang's heart tightened, and then he sighed, and his eyes couldn't help but show a trace of despair......
On June 21, the gate of Yuzhang City fell, and Gongsun Fang personally led the team to fight, wanting to drive out the soldiers of Jiujiang City who poured in. In this battle, the strength of Gongsun Fang's sixth-order swordsman was brought into full play, and the soldiers who died in his hands were not three thousand, but two thousand eight. In the end, it was Li Shen who personally intervened to suppress it.
At dusk on June 21, Gongsun Fang died of exhaustion at the hands of Li Shen, but Li Shen was also seriously injured.
Standing in front of Gongsun Fang's corpse, Li Shen endured the pain in his body and looked up to the sky and laughed. Although Jiujiang City lost more than 18,000 soldiers in this battle, but now Gongsun Fang is ambushed, Yuzhang City is broken, it's worth it, everything is worth it!
Before his laughter stopped, there was a sudden exclamation among the soldiers, and when they turned their heads to look, they found that an army had appeared not far away!
"Yes, yes, Jiang will not give up!"
Song Jiang, who was beside Li Shen, was stunned on the spot, and at a glance he recognized the commander of that unit, Jiang Buqi, and his face was immediately stunned.
"Quick, get into town! Town! Defend the city! ”
The moment he saw this army, Li Shen was obviously a little panicked, and even felt a trace of fear.
It's no wonder that he would be like this, it's only that Jiang Buqi appeared at a coincidental time. Although he killed Gongsun Fang in the city gate, there were still many soldiers in Yuzhang City resisting, and now it was just turning the siege battle into a street battle, and even there were many remnants of Gongsun Fang on the city wall.
"Close the gates!"
In an instant, the army led by Jiang Buqi had come within 100 meters, and Li Shen couldn't care about his own soldiers who had not yet entered the city, so he directly ordered the door to be closed. You must know that there are less than 10,000 Jiujiang City warriors entering the city at this time, and at least 7,000 people are outside the city.
Li Shen is naturally very clear about this, but he knows even more that if he doesn't close the city gate and directly confront Jiang Buqi, he will definitely lose.
After all, the soldiers under his command have been fighting for several days in a row and are already exhausted, and the soldiers of Nanlian City are full of energy and high morale, so how can they be undefeated? This is one.
In terms of numbers, Li Shen did not have much advantage. Although he didn't know exactly how many people Jiang Buqi had brought, he estimated that there were at least 12,300,000. And now he has only 17,000 soldiers on his hands, and many of them are wounded. This is two.
The most important point is that the soldiers of Nanlian City came in formation calmly, on the other hand, Li Shen's subordinates, because of the all-out siege of the city, the formation had already dispersed. In cold weapon battles, formation is crucial, and the side with the formation can easily boast the side without the formation, or even let the opponent directly rout. This is three.
With these three points, how dare Li Shen face the battle head-on? So, even though he knew that it would cause chaos and panic, he had to close the gates so that he could have a chance of victory!
The strong man broke his wrist, and I have to admit that Li Shen is also a very courageous person, but unfortunately, this "wrist" is not something that can be easily broken if you want to.
When they found that the heavy city gate was slowly closing, the soldiers of Jiujiang City, who had not yet entered the city, suddenly roared angrily and rushed inside like crazy. In this case, no matter how stupid they are, they know that if they are locked out of the city gate, they will definitely be trampled into pulp by Jiang Bu's army!
"Close the gates!"
Seeing that the gate of Yuzhang City could not be closed for a long time, Li Shen was anxious and red-eyed, and personally rushed up to turn the rope of the mechanism, wanting to close the city gate.
"Nope! Lord, we are waiting for you to be born and die, how can you treat us like grass mustard and abandon them like sloppy shoes! ”
Countless soldiers shouted resentfully under the city gate, but unfortunately the city gate was still closed, and many people who wanted to squeeze in were crushed to death.
Jiang Buqi, who was not far away, was overjoyed to see this, and gave up so many soldiers in front of everyone in one breath, how could anyone be willing to die for him wholeheartedly in the future? His reputation is completely ruined, his morale is gone, and even if he can close the city gate now, it will be difficult to hold Yuzhang City!
Not only that, even if he escapes back to Jiujiang City in the future, with this stain, it will be difficult to achieve anything, because the military spirit has been lost!
"Soldiers, follow me, counterattack Yuzhang, and unify the whole county, just today!"
Jiang Buqi roared and directly led the army to rush towards the city gate, although he was sure that even if Li Shen closed the city gate, he would not be able to hold the city, but if he could rush in before he closed it, he would definitely be able to conquer it with a faster speed and less losses!
On the night of June 21, Yuzhang City fell again. Li Shen, who had occupied the city for less than two hours, was beaten away.
Li Shen gathered his scattered soldiers outside the city, only to find that there were less than 3,000 men. Seeing this result, he was already seriously injured and exhausted, and he almost fainted. Compared to when he defeated Gongsun Fang, it was really a time of heaven and a time of hell.
"In this battle, 4,000 enemies were killed and more than 10,000 were taken prisoner. In addition, more than 3,000 remnants of Gongsun Fang's troops were surrendered, and it was a great victory! ”
Zhu Wu clenched his fists and said excitedly to Jiang Buqi. Although this ending was all because of his plan, it was still unexpected for him to go so smoothly. He knew that after this battle, Jiang Bu's position in Yuzhang City would be completely established and he would stand firmly!
"yes, big win. Li Shen was hit hard by this, and it was impossible for him to pose a threat to us in a short period of time, and Yuzhang City, the county city, fell into my hands after all. ”
Standing in the tower of Yuzhang City, looking at the more than 10,000 captives who were brought in below, Jiang Buqi couldn't help but feel a little emotional. After this battle, the territory and population under his control have expanded several times, and there are no more forces in the vicinity that can pose a devastating threat to him.
"King Yuzhang! King Yuzhang! King Yuzhang ......"
I don't know who took the lead, but when I saw Jiang Buqi standing in the city tower, the soldiers underground suddenly began to shout, admiring and fanatical. This is their lord, the king who leads them to victory, and where their hope lies.
"The Lord of a County?" Jiang Buqi's eyes were a little confused. His current achievements are something he would not have dared to think of in his previous life, so to speak, at this time he has long left the other aborigines far behind.
Of course, he is not satisfied with this, there are still too many secrets waiting for him to explore in the last days, and he believes that one day, this world that has become unrecognizable will be completely presented to him...... (End of book) (To be continued.) )
