"The Governor is wise!
Just now it was just a guess, but now that I have heard the advice, all the generals are happy to surrender. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Now that the enemy's plan has been discovered by the Governor, will we do it......?" asked the scribe, rolling his eyes.
"No need!" Meng Che waved his hand, "My lord Wu Guogong is in a state, and Zhou Yu is only a few mansions, and now he is even more dragged in Jingbei and cannot be used, these are the general trend of my lord!"
"To be honest, we have an army of 20,000, and there were less than 10,000 people in Jiangxia City, but now we have 3,000, and our defenses are even more empty. ”
"The difference in strength is so obvious, we just need to fight steadily, don't be greedy, don't rush forward, the opponent is a dead end, and there is no place to turn over!"
"Pass the order, the navy will turn around, and set up camp by yourself!"
"No!" came the generals' neat voices.
......
In Jiangxia City, Zhou Qing heard the advice and waved his hand expressionlessly: "Ben will know, you go down!"
"The old man is unwilling to !!" After a long time, a suppressed voice came from the hall.
Although the scheme was seen through, Zhou Qing's appearance was not particularly exposed, and on the second day, he also summoned Jiangxia officials.
Looking at the faces below that were either implied to be frightened or thoughtful, Zhou Qing secretly sneered, and then said in a deep voice: "This time, the general made a military order in front !!of the governor, swearing to defend the city for three months, if the city is broken in March, what face will the general have to go to see the governor? Ben will only be the first to strike......"
When he said this, Zhou Qing's eyes lit up with coldness. Like two snow-bright long swords, pointing directly at the people below.
It's murderous. Everyone heard it, and knew that the general at this time definitely didn't recognize his six relatives, and whoever dared to come forward would be killed, and they all bowed their heads one after another and obeyed the people.
"Okay, since you have no objection, Ben will have a ...... fate."
Zhou Qing glanced around, and naturally knew that today he was taking advantage of the situation to oppress people and threaten him with his life, and the disaster was not shallow. However, if Jiangxia is destroyed, it will not be a question of leaving no calamity behind, but a question of the lives of the entire clan! The lesser of these two evils will have to be the case.
Zhou Qing thought in his heart, and the look in his eyes turned cold.
......
Meng Che looked at the Jiangxia city wall in the distance, and saw that there were not only soldiers on it, but also strong men dressed as ordinary people, holding weapons to defend the city. The people and soldiers are like dense ants, and each battlement is guarded, and the brows are a little wrinkled.
"There is actually a people's husband Zhuang Ding to assist in defending the city, this is troublesome!"
Meng Che naturally knew. Today's Jiangxia City, because Zhou Yu has transferred a lot of soldiers, it is rare to be able to leave 10,000 people. After all, before Sanjiangkou, Wuchang and other places. The guards didn't even have a thousand people, and when they saw the Wu army's sailors. It's all about surrendering immediately.
And now, these guards at the head of the wall are estimated to be fifteen thousand, although the regular sergeants are less than five thousand, but it is also extremely troublesome.
After all, the defenders only need to have courage, even the people can be used, and with the city wall to rely on, even the people can improve their courage, but the siege is different, not to mention that Meng Che still has a navy in his hands!
"However, that's it, Zhou Yu must be the available soldiers in the rear, all of them are transferred to Jiangxia, in a vain attempt to keep the enemy out of the country, if you defeat Jiangxia, then there is more emptiness behind, almost no one!"
The army was dispatched, secretly reported three times a day, Meng Che knew the current Zhou Yu through the Jinyiwei system and his own channels, and also led an army of 100,000 to confront Shi Longjie around Xiangyang, and the entire southern part of Jingzhou was already very empty, except for Jiangxia, where there was still a little resistance, the rest of the places were empty, almost as soon as he fell, his heart was hot.
"Such a good opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! And this war, with Jiangxia as the first major achievement, must not be missed!"
Meng Che thought in his heart, "As a general, although the trust of the national prince is undiminished, but I also need to guarantee the merits of the war, this Jiangxia is given to me by God, as long as I defeat Jiangxia, I don't have to fight for other merits!
Then the herald said: "The herald goes down, the army prepares siege equipment, prepare for the siege!"
"No!" The long-term instinct made the generals agree, but they were all a little puzzled, the sailors attacked the city, and it was a bit child's play in ancient times. Especially when the number of enemy troops is about the same.
"Although it may not be able to take Jiangxia City, it can also test the enemy army, and at the same time, we can also exhaust the enemy soldiers and prepare for the arrival of the lord!" Meng Che's eyes flashed with a different color, and he explained with a smile.
"Yes! The governor's words are very reasonable!" "Since it is a tentative attack, there is no need to send soldiers to attack the city, this casualty is very small, it is almost a training army, and all the generals agreed to it.
The sailor also carried parts of a small catapult on the ship, accompanied by craftsmen, and when they arrived at the ground, the soldiers cut down wood to make siege equipment, and the craftsmen reassembled the catapults.
Three days later, the ordnance was ready, and the catapult roared, throwing the boulder and smashing it on the Jiangxia city wall, making an earth-shattering sound.
A ** bow and arrow, but also don't want money to sprinkle to Jiangxia City.
"It's ...... Temptation?" asked himself as he shrank behind the castle and looked at the rain of boulders and arrows that flew in.
If you really want to attack the city, you must first fill in the moat, then build a ladder, or hit the door with a rammer, and these are all filled with human lives! At present, the Wu army is only making some long-range attacks, as if it is a temptation.
"Isn't it...... "This will think, Wu Jun's family has a great cause, and these outside are just pioneers, and it is understandable that there is such a tentative move.
If the Jiangxia guards are tired, and when Wu Guogong comes, the army will surge up, and it will be impossible to resist, and it will also be meritorious, and this will think, so he will be a little unable to sit still, and order: "Order! Closely monitor the movements of the Wu army! The guards take turns to rest!"
"No!" a personal soldier behind him immediately went out to convey the military order.
"I hope I've thought too much...... "The guard still had some palpitations, "but no matter what, the matter of blocking the four gates is still something that can't be done!"
The day before yesterday, after Zhou Qing coerced the families to go out to defend the city, he even wanted to block the four gates with huge stones.
This is a desperate plan!! in this way, although it will be able to hold on for a long time, but whether it is a family or a common person in the city, there is no way out!
How can you survive when you run out of food?
The generals tried their best to persuade each other, and the family was even more-for-tat, and promised to pay more for the guards, so that Zhou Qing could be removed from this thought, and every time the guard thought of this, he was terrified.
He is naturally loyal to Zhou Yu, the governor of the capital, but if he wants to lose hundreds of lives for himself and the entire family for this, it seems too ......
At night, the city walls are filled with torches, shining on one side, extremely bright, and full of the smell of pine oil cedar burning, but also with the aroma of medicinal herbs, can avoid mosquitoes.
The moonlight seemed to be shrouded in a thin veil, and the fog was hazy, which was covered by clouds.
Even the bright moon is like this, and the other stars are almost completely obscured, and no starlight can be seen, only the brightest ones, which can barely be seen.
"The emperor star is swaying and glowing high!" the guard general looked at the faint stars in the sky and couldn't help but sigh.
"Why did I suddenly think of this?" the guard stroked his head, a little puzzled.
"This is the poem of the previous dynasty, and it is also out of troubled times, what is the previous sentence? Suddenly there is a madman sharpening his knife at night......
"Suddenly a madman sharpened his knife at night...... The emperor star is fluttering, and the glow is high?!!!!? well!!!! it's not good."
The guard was startled and came back to his senses, "Confucianism has a lot of heavenly and human sensing, I am restless, something will happen tonight!"
Drawing his sword and drinking, "Where are my soldiers?"
"General, we're here!" The surrounding soldiers all gathered over, guarding the guards in the innermost part.
There are even a few people wearing iron armor, blocking in front of the guards, even with bows and arrows and hard crossbows, and they have to pass through them to hurt the generals behind.
"Ben will be restless, I am afraid that there will be a big change tonight, you wait to follow me to inspect the city wall, junior!
This police gong can only be used in night attacks, and now just because the guard is restless, it will be sounded, which is really a bit of child's play, but this guard will be battled in a hundred battles, killed from the corpse mountain and sea of blood, and his nerves are extremely sharp, and he has smelled something wrong from the actions of Wu Jun during the day, and now, he smells the breath of death, and he can't care about it so much.
On the battlefield, it is changing rapidly, and many times, it depends on the whims of the generals!!
And this will be convinced of their own spiritual sense!!
"No!" called Xiao San's personal soldiers to respond, got up and ran to a tall building.
"Let's go to the four gates, and at night only the main gate is prone to problems!" said the guard.
"Yes!" the surrounding soldiers agreed, and just as they were about to set off, there was a shout of killing at the east gate!
Bang!! long knife hit the ground, splashing a few sparks: "It's better to give these rebels a head start!!" The guard was unwilling to drink.
"Come with me to the East Gate!"
The soldiers did not dare to slack off, and went forward in a crowd, passing through a few streets, and when they arrived at the scene, they found that Zhou Qing was also there, surrounded by dense armor soldiers, and there was a battalion of crossbowmen behind.
The guard hurriedly went up to greet him: "I've seen the general!"
"It's you!" Zhou Qing smiled, wearing armor on his body, not messing up at all, still having spare time, as if he had been prepared for this matter.
"This general loves to use tricks, before Wu Guogong used soldiers, he also sent many secrets to inquire about secrets, this surprise attack plan has already entered my urn!"
Zhou Qing sneered and said: "It's just a few days early, before the city gate is closed, I will send a secret attack into Jiangxia, hide the ambush, and wait until now to strike a sudden blow...... This sub-meter!"
The guard is a little cold sweat on his sideburns, although it is a small plan, if one is not guarded, it is really possible to go to the road.
I couldn't help but admire: "The general is wise!"
The guards looked into the field, and saw a group of men dressed as ordinary merchants, armed with knives and guns, storming the east gate and intertwining with the defenders.
And now seeing that the situation is not good, some have turned around and want to flee. (To be continued.) )
