siege
"The Jin army has lost its troops, and Jiangzhou City is afraid that it will be difficult to capture." Li Juchuan looked at Jiangzhou City and said leisurely.
The Liang army lost Puzhou, Xingtang Mansion, Xizhou, and Jinzhou, and only one city of Jiangzhou was left in the entire river, but it was a hard bone.
The Jin army attacked the whole line for three days, but Jiangzhou still stood still.
This kind of big city can fight for a year or two at every turn at the end of the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, Jiangzhou is on the side of Xingtang Mansion, and if this nail is not pulled out, it will always be a threat.
"I can't wait any longer, pass on the edict to Li Keyong, our army will attack the west and south gates, and we must take Jiangzhou today!"
Li Keyong has been hindering his face and did not come to ask for help, Li Ye couldn't afford to wait, so he issued an edict directly.
After the edict passed, the Jin army gave way to the west and south gates.
Li Ye attacked the south gate with 10,000 people with Yang Shihou, and Zhang Lian unified the Wanjing original army to attack the west gate.
Since the capture of the Hexi Corridor by Tubo, Jingyuan, Shuofang, and Fengxiang have become the front line of resistance to Tubo.
Therefore, the combat strength of the Shuofang and Jingyuan armies has never been bad.
With the addition of the new force, Zhang Guiben finally couldn't bear it, and the four city walls were in an emergency.
When Zhu Wen's main force retreated eastward, Jiangzhou only left less than 5,000 Liang troops, which withstood the repeated attacks of 20,000 Tang troops and 30,000 Jin troops.
But now that the two armies are working together, Jiangzhou has finally reached the last moment.
After paying more than 400 casualties, the Jingyuan army finally attacked the city first under the leadership of several generals, causing a key blow to the Liang army.
Li Keyong and Zhu Wen have a deep hatred in the sea of blood, for so many years, the hatred has become deeper and deeper, and this hatred has also spread to the hearts of every Liang soldier, knowing that after the city is broken, there is no doubt that they will die, everyone is desperate, and they are not afraid of death.
In addition, Zhang Guiben has always inspired the soldiers, and the young people in the city were also encouraged by him to resist stubbornly.
The Jingyuan army, which rushed to the city, was soon pushed back down.
Zhang Lian didn't want to lose face under the emperor's nose, so he led a team of personal soldiers to battle.
Li Ye hurriedly stopped him, the soldiers were in danger, if Zhang Lian had any accidents, it would be difficult to explain to Zhang Jun and Zhang Bo.
However, the loyalty of the Jingyuan Army amazed Li Ye.
The Tang Dynasty has declined to this point, originally thought that all the feudal towns were thorns and careerists, but I didn't expect that there were such loyal people, and Li Ye couldn't let them sacrifice too much.
"Xin Shilang, didn't you say that you could kick Jiangzhou down with one kick?" Li Ye said loudly deliberately.
"When did the last and last general say?" Xin Shilang was confused, he only said that he would let him go, and Jiangzhou had already been captured.
"That's pretty much it, I'll give you a chance now, and the guards will follow you!"
The highest treatment in the Tang Army is Wu Ben, followed by the pro-guard, but as long as they are not stupid, they all sharpen their heads and transfer to the pro-guards.
As soon as they heard that they were going to fight, everyone in the guards was overjoyed.
"The last general obeys!" Xin Shilang was even more overjoyed, picked up the big shield in one hand, held the axe in the other, and took three hundred personal guards to the battlefield with great dignity.
It was difficult for him not to attract attention with his physique, and as soon as he entered the range of the attack, feathered arrows, wood, and stones rained down on him.
Li Ye watched from behind with a burst of shock.
However, Xin Shilang dared to brag everywhere, he still had the ability, the big shield was in front, not to mention the feather arrows, the stone hit it, and it was just shaking, like a humanoid tank, crushing forward, but it was the personal guard behind him, who suffered from the pond fish, was hit by more than ten catties of stones, and fell on the spot.
rushed to the city wall, and before climbing the ladder, the two Liang troops at the head of the city lifted a big stone, afraid that there were 100 catties up and down, hanging above Xin Shilang's head.
Although the city wall of Jiangzhou is only five meters high, such a large stone fell down, and Xin Shilang was not dead or disabled.
Li Ye was shocked in his heart, it was too late to summon him back at this time, I just hoped that his brain would not be flooded, and he didn't know how to hide.
However, Xin Shiro's brain circuit is obviously different from ordinary people.
Looking at the big stone above his head, not only did he not hide, but he also brandished a short axe, yelling, wah, wow, wow, and I didn't know what he was roaring.
Li Ye was dumbfounded, does this guy have a problem with his brain? So reckless?
Shinshiro's roar attracted the attention of all Simon's soldiers.
The boulder was pushed off the city wall as he wished.
Xin Shilang did not retreat but climbed a few steps up the long ladder, raised the big shield, the big stone smashed on the shield, the big shield split in an instant, and then Xin Shilang also fell down the long ladder with the stone.
It's over, Li Ye lamented in his heart, Jiangzhou City didn't kick it down, but paid himself in.
The battlefield suddenly fell silent, and they all looked at Shin Shiro who was crushed by the stone.
Li Ye looked nervously, hoping that he was just injured.
It was at this time that Oishi moved. No, the boulder was not moved, but slowly lifted.
Lifted by Shinshiro!
In an instant, the Jingyuan army under the city cheered, "Long live!" “
Xin Shiro laughed, blood still flowing from the corners of his mouth, and threw the stone upwards with all his might, as if he wanted to throw it on the city wall.
The Liang army on the city wall was all shocked.
However, manpower is limited after all, and the boulder flew out about two meters and hit the city wall, which did not move at all and rolled to the ground.
This brutal act completely ignited the morale of the Jingyuan army and the personal guards.
Climb the ladder with a loud shout.
Xin Shiro did not fall behind, and climbed with a short axe.
"General Xin's true divine power is amazing." Li Juchuan laughed dryly.
Li Ye thinks that this is obviously a bad brain, is it necessary to make it so thrilling?
Fortunately, after so many days of siege, the consumption of materials in the city is about the same, if it is two hundred catties or three hundred catties of stones, how many heads can he hold?
The defenders had no way to restrict Xin Shilang's ascent to the city, a few arrows were lazily nailed to Xin Shilang's armor, Xin Shilang was too lazy to pull out, like a porcupine, climbed the city wall, crashed into the Liang army, opened the bow left and right with a short axe in his hand, blood splashed, and screamed again and again.
The guards behind him widened the gap he had opened and firmly occupied the city.
The morale of the Liang army seemed to have evaporated suddenly.
The Jingyuan army also climbed up other sections of the city wall.
Probably they intended to show themselves in front of the emperor, under the leadership of the capital, although they were wearing leather armor and a small amount of armor, they were extremely brave, and jumped in with a spear, and the moment their bodies were pierced by the spear, they also wanted to behead a Liang army.
Liang finally couldn't bear it anymore.
After so many days of siege, the Yang division attacked thickly, and the Jin army attacked, after all, the disadvantage of the troops was too great.
Zhang Guiben is not a god either.
Amid deafening cheers, the West City was completely captured.
Immediately, the west gate was slowly opened.
At the same time, the southern and eastern cities were also breached.
The last nail in the river was pulled out.
The Tang and Jin armies poured into the city at the same time.
There were not many Liang troops in the city, but young men trembling with weapons.
Because of military discipline, the Tang army maintained restraint and besieged but did not attack.
But the Jin army that poured in from the north gate was different.
They had a bitter enmity against the Liang army, and as soon as they entered the city, they wantonly killed people and set fires.
Jiangzhou City, which has experienced many wars, is now in calamity again.
