Because of his conceit of force, when Shen Lin Kong Xiao led the cavalry to the city, he did not close the city gate and refuse to defend it, but was extremely bold to command hundreds of county soldiers in the city, asking for a one-on-one confrontation before the battle.

Hearing the news, Shen Lin was happy.

Is this guy really a county magistrate? How can you be so reckless.

It's okay, I have a headache how to use cavalry to take Jin Chuncheng, but now, Jin Chun County Commander took the initiative to go out of the city and ask for a heads-up, isn't it just as he meant?

Immediately, Shen Lin waved his hand and agreed to Jin Chun's request.

He originally wanted to fight by himself, but who knew that Kong Xiao moved quickly, flew on the horse with a mace in his hand, rushed out of the front of the battle, and went straight to Jin Chun's county order.

The latter made a big knife rush up, and the two fought in front of the battle, less than five rounds, Kong Xiao shouted, even if he had an old injury, he was still brave and hard, and smashed the heavenly spirit of Jin Chun's county order with a stick.

The corpse fell heavily and then fell off the horse, and the county soldiers who went out of the city as he went out of the city saw this situation, coaxed, and scattered as birds and beasts.

Shen Lin saw the opportunity, commanded the cavalry to rush into the city, and took Jin Chun in a battle.

After a short period of repair, Shen Lin left a small number of soldiers and horses to defend the city, and switched paths with Kong Xiao to attack Luotian.

Luo Tian's guards were not ready, and almost at the same time as Jin Chun's fall, Shen Lin and Kong Xiao's cavalry had already arrived under the city.

It was Kong Xiao who broke through the city and ascended first, and with a mace, he smashed to death Luo Tian's guard.

In this way, in just half a month, Shen Lin and Kong Xiao successively won several cities in three counties along the way, such as Longshuhuo Mountain. pushed Bingfeng all the way to the bottom of Shu County.

As one of the six counties of Yangzhou, Lujiang County controls the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in Yangzhou, and Lujiang County has an excellent geographical location.

It can be said that after taking Lujiang County, you can overlook Jiangdong across the river, and as long as you want, you can send troops to sweep the six counties of Jiangdong at any time.

To the east, you can attack Danyang Jiujiang, and to the south, you can threaten Yuzhang.

Moreover, if you want to send troops from Yangzhou to attack Jingzhou, Lujiang also exists as a bridgehead.

It is for this reason that Chen Min attaches great importance to Lujiang, and even appoints his younger brother Chen Jie as the Taishou of Lujiang.

At the beginning, when Chen Min was defeated, he ran to Lujiang as soon as possible.

Later, when he heard that Yao Yu's soldiers were besieging Anlu, he was so frightened that he hurriedly withdrew to Danyang County, and handed over the task of collecting the defeated troops to his younger brother Chen Jie.

The result was that when Shen Lin Kong Xiao arrived, Chen Jie had already gathered 40,000 defeated soldiers and refused to defend Shucheng.

From the siege of Jin Chun at the beginning, to the successive fall of Luotian, Huoshan, Longshu and other county seats, Chen Jie did not send reinforcements.

As a result, it was often his side that made the move, and the news of the fall of the front-line city had already been sent back.

This made Chen Jie feel that Yao Yu's department had strong combat effectiveness, but he couldn't help but be surprised by the speed of Yao Yu's department.

No, he gathered troops to refuse, collected the army in Shucheng, and did not dare to fight with Shen Lin Kong Xiao again.

After all, the first few cities fell because the guards of the city and county were killed in a field battle with Shen Linbu.

As a clan relative, Chen Jie is not too outstanding in terms of ability, but he is better than loyalty.

Otherwise, with 40,000 people, he would not dare to do anything to the thousands of people outside the city.

Of course, this also has to do with the fact that his soldiers have just experienced a crushing defeat.

In this way, Shen Lin Kong Xiao, just a few thousand people surrounded Chen Jie.

Both sides were afraid of each other, and neither dared to strike first.

It was only five days later, when Yao Yu arrived at the city with the main infantry, that the real battle began at this time.

It was also at this time that everyone saw Yao Yu's superb siege methods.

It's like a strategy to harass and fatigue the enemy, it's all inferior.

He directly sent people to dig tunnels, and he didn't shy away from being blatant.

This behavior made Chen Jie confused, no, I'm not blind, it's okay for you to treat me as an idiot.

No, Chen Jie asked people to set up another line of defense in the city, preventing Yao Yu and others from breaking into the city through the tunnel.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jie's defense line was all set, but Yao Yu just dug the tunnel under the city wall and stopped.

He then sent people to support the walls with wooden stakes, and then burned the wooden stakes with fire.

As a result, the city walls, which had lost their support, collapsed with a bang.

directly showed the west of Shucheng in front of Yao Yu's army.

Chen Jie, who saw this scene, was stunned, no, you don't play cards according to the routine.

Before Chen Jie could react, under Yao Yu's order, the army marched with drums, and Kong Xiao Lubi took the lead and rushed into the city, opening Wushuang.

Originally, Chen Jie's troops were the defeated soldiers who were gathered, and under the offensive of Yao Yu's army, basically, after holding out for less than two days, there were countless deserters.

Even, the entire battalion surrendered to Yao Yu.

Seeing that his subordinates were fighting fewer and fewer, Chen Jie panicked.

He is different from Chen Min, relying on his former prestige, Chen Min can also shock the Quartet and re-energize the fighting spirit of these soldiers.

But Chen Jie is different, he just occupies the identity of a clan, in fact, he has no ability at all.

Not to mention the shocking people's hearts, even commanding operations is not what he is good at.

It doesn't matter if you can't command, Chen Jie is still a master of micro-manipulation.

As a result, the successive defeats made the soldiers feel even more chilled, and the phenomenon of desertion and surrender was endless.

At this critical moment, when there was no danger in the city, Chen Jie sent people to gather the people in the city to form a human wall, which was used to block Yao Yu's offensive and provide time for him to escape.

However, Chen Jie's move not only did not change the situation on the battlefield, but also lost the support of the people.

You must know that at the beginning, Chen Min raised troops, but under the banner of overthrowing the tyrannical court and opening peace for the people.

Now, Chen Jie treats the people as cannon fodder, which directly provokes the people of Shucheng to resist constantly.

Facing the double pressure of Yao Yu and the people, Chen Jie couldn't bear it anymore, left his soldiers and Shu Cheng, and led more than ten guards to escape.

As a result, Shucheng completely fell into Yao Yu's control.

The news that Chen Jie's 40,000 troops were almost all thrown in Shucheng reached the ears of Chen Min, who was in the city of Jiankang in Danyang, frightened Chen Min three times a day, and hurriedly mobilized the soldiers of Jiujiang, Danyang, Wujun, Huiji, and Yuzhang counties to rescue Jiankang.

You must know that there are less than 5,000 soldiers in Jiankang City today, such a few people, let alone recapture the Lujiang River, if Yao Yu really crosses the river, whether Jiankang can be in his hands is two words.

No, on the one hand, Chen Min mobilized troops and horses from all walks of life, and on the other hand, he sent people to seize the ferries in various parts of the Yangtze River, and the provincial ones were taken away by Yao Yu, further threatening Jiankang.

However, he never expected that Yong Ju led the naval army at a very fast speed, and he had already captured various key points long before Chen Min's troops arrived.

In this way, Chen Min was completely afraid.

After thinking about it in many ways, Chen Min had to send an envoy to reconcile with Yao Yu.
