Cheng Tou guards jun reinforcements. Jingzhou army should not retreat, but also suspend siege. No one thought that Jingzhou army sent cavalry to stop Niu Gai and his men, and before a wick of incense, Niu Gai was killed by the enemy. Suddenly, morale fell sharply.
After Niu Gai’s death, the hundreds of cavalry led by Niu Gai had to flee to the north gate. Ling Tong fled the enemy with heavy casualties. However, 12 or 13 did not lead troops to chase the horses and slowly returned to the array. When the soldiers in Niu Gai’s men saw that the Lord was killed and the cavalry fled, hundreds of people went to the north gate in a hubbub.
After Lu Zhao learned that most of Niugai’s war dead parts were scattered, he could also lament from the bottom of his heart that it was an adventure to make Niugai and other departments go out of the city. Now it seems that Jingzhou’s military strength is strong and the various departments outside the city can only play a limited role
"general! The enemy seems to have withdrawn! " A captain turned from the watchtower to the road sign, saying that the road sign was pleasantly surprised. He quickly got up and went to the watchtower outside the building to see the Jingzhou army retreat like a flood.
Lu Zhao was puzzled and frowned and said, "What is the reason?"
"Presumably, the Jingzhou army will temporarily retreat after seeing that it is inconvenient to attack for a long time, and then it will attack the city again?" The name of a captain said not sure.
Lu Zhao sighed in his heart and said to the captain, "Go and see if the Jingzhou army in the city ever retreated and reported quickly!"
He doesn’t believe that the Jingzhou army is going to temporarily repair because the Jingzhou soldiers and horses are very numerous. If one of them is too tired, he can immediately transfer troops from the array. But now the Jingzhou army has defeated Niu Gai and his men and landed from the west of the city. How can it suddenly retreat?
Could it be that reinforcements sent by General Coss have arrived? However, if the Jingzhou army withdraws its troops because of this, it is also necessary to adjust its troops to guard the camp first, so it is necessary to recruit people who are uneasy when thinking, and Weizi sent people to the tower to land from the west of the city. Although the Jingzhou army did not retreat, it did not know why it stopped.
☆, Chapter 54 Sneak attack does not change the storm.
After Jingzhou army defeated Niugai and his men, it suddenly retreated, which made the tower bid for war indecisive. However, in any case, it was a good thing for the enemy to retreat. It was only after Jingzhou army withdrew from the city that it felt a little relieved, and the Zhu Huan department landed in the west of the city no longer attacked the city, which made Weizi feel a lot less pressure.
"General, it’s not that the Jingzhou army saw General Niu and led his troops to worry that his ministries would be killed one after another before leading troops to retire temporarily?" A captain see road recruit frown not language hurriedly said to him
The road shook his head, but he didn’t say much on this issue. Instead, he led the guards to the East Gate. When he arrived at the East Gate Tower, he saw that Hu Zhi had woken up with his face wrapped in cloth and could hardly see his original appearance.
"Is General Hu seriously injured?" Lu Zhao waved his hand so that Hu Zhi didn’t have to get up and twist his head to ask the medical officer next to him. The medical officer wiped his forehead and replied, "Fortunately, it should be okay to shoot in the cheek now."
Lu Zhao sat on the bed and said to Hu Zhi, "The general has been injured, so don’t stay here for a long time."
"No …" Hu said with a struggle that his face was distorted because of the wound. He didn’t stay here to be a hero, but he clearly knew that if the city was attacked by Jingzhou Army, it might be completely wiped out. How could he not stare at it?
Lu Zhao, seeing Hu Zhi’s persistence, will no longer persuade him. Now the city can count on Weizi and Hu Zhi. Although the Jingzhou army was besieged urgently, the men resisted the enemy’s attack. Although there were heavy casualties, they ignored the matter at this time
After seeing Hu’s posterior approach, he went west to a private house and met Weizi.
"The enemy has landed and formed troops one after another. Now there are more than 2,000 troops and navy warships near the shore, and thunderbolts are constantly attacking our soldiers and casualties." Weizi said with some shame.
Lu Zhao didn’t blame Weizi for this, but said to him, "If the Jingzhou army stormed here, I am afraid that our army will be difficult to stick to."
Weizi handed over and said, "Please ask the general for advice!"
"Wei Fujun doesn’t set fire to stop the enemy?" Lu Zhaoshen said to Weizi that he had seen the Jingzhou army. If it breaks into the city, there is still a long way to go, and there are many houses nearby, if it can be attacked by Jingzhou army, suddenly a fire will surely cause heavy casualties to the enemy.
However, this tactic is too vicious, and the expression on the face is somewhat unnatural after the trick is finished. After all, the people in the city are going to suffer this catastrophe because of their own guards. Even if all the people in these houses have fled from the city, how much will the loss be for the people?
Weitz thinks so, too, but what else can we do? After a moment’s hesitation, the defender finally nodded slightly and said, "It seems that other good strategies can do the same."
When the road leaves the guard, we will let the Ministry prepare for the stranded houses first, and all the people will rush to the city with narrow roads and dense houses, and arrange a lot of flammable materials.
Outside the city, the Jingzhou army retreated and reorganized. Although the soldiers broke through Chengtou, their morale was still high.
What Zhou Yu wants to slay the cow cover and retreat after defeating the department is precisely to make Cao Jun stick to it. I hope that he aims to annihilate the effective force of Cao Jun instead of gaining and losing the position of Xuyi City one city at a time. Coss will definitely not give up easily, and his own side has already come here to attack Coss. If there is any plan, it will be implemented.
Zhou Yu, who has not yet appeared in Zhang Xi and Mao, is not so worried.
The pressure on the defenders of Chengtou was greatly reduced because of the retreat of Jingzhou army. Although Jingzhou army set up a ladder, it climbed the siege offensive as violently as it did. The only headache for the defenders was the strong bow and hard crossbow of Jingzhou army.
"You’re lucky. If this arrow is a few inches off, I’m afraid it’ll kill you!" An old soldier bandaged the wound on the shoulder for the injured companion and shook his head and said
The companion was pale and obviously injured. Smell speech spat with a frown. "I don’t know where Jingzhou Army came from. I think it’s almost the same as a bow and arrow."
Old pawn hey hey smiled and said, "What’s so strange about this? Now that Liu cong has a large population in Jingzhou, Yangzhou and Yizhou, it is natural to have more taxes. What are these hard crossbows? It is said that nearly a thousand thundercars have been built alone. "
"psst! Easy! " The injured man took a breath of air conditioning and said to the old pawn, "Since there are so many thunderbolts to attack Xuyi, why not?"
The old soldier tied a knot to the cloth head to see that his proficiency should have done these things. He stood up with his hands propped up and looked at the city from the crib mouth and said to the injured man, "Now, maybe later, if you don’t follow my advice, you can’t hold on to the Jingzhou army thundercar."
Hearing this, the wounded soldier quickly hissed, "Stop talking. If you are heard by the team, it will be another good scolding!"
"Team rate?" The old soldier sighed when he heard this. "Don’t worry about him. You don’t know that you have just been shot in the neck and struggled for a while and then died."
The wounded soldier stared blankly for a moment and said with a bitter face, "Don’t we have nothing to think about except waiting for death?"
"This is not necessarily the case." The old soldier looked around and said to the wounded soldier, "The big deal is that everyone will run away in a hubbub."
"run? Where to run? If you are caught, it is a capital crime! " The wounded soldier stared at the old soldier in shock and murmured that he didn’t know that the old soldier had followed Hu Zhi all the way from West Quyang to Xuyi. If it weren’t for bad luck, he would have left the army and fled elsewhere. It’s hard to say when he will lose his life these days. If there is no real way, who will be the killer?
The old soldier has rich experience in escaping, but Cao Jun’s military law is strict. If he flees at cold feet and is caught, he will have a dead end. The old soldier wants to wait until he has a sure chance to escape, but who would have thought that he is trapped in this Xuyi city?
"If you can’t die, you will always have a chance," the old soldier whispered with his eyes fixed on Chengtou.
Shortly after the Jingzhou army retreated and returned to the array, a scout flying horse ran to find the Zhongjun flag and turned over on one knee and reported to Zhou Yu, "viceroy! The enemy general Mao led two thousand troops from the southeast and suddenly appeared to attack our army camp! "
Zhou Yu was not surprised to hear this, but smiled and said to Chen Wu around him, "Such as? Sure enough, I couldn’t help stealing our camp. "
When the army came to the city, Zhou Yu left Zhang Duoling with 3,000 troops to defend in the camp. In addition, there were more than 1,000 ambushes near the camp. If Mao did not appear, it would not be a great achievement to wait for him to attack the camp.
It is said that Mao led his troops to ambush the Jingzhou military camp in a big circle. Early this morning, he learned that most of Jingzhou’s troops had left for Xuyi City, so he waited patiently for the opportunity. Before noon, according to scouts, most of Jingzhou’s troops were attacking the camp, and only two or three thousand troops were stationed in each camp. He was determined to raid Jingzhou’s military camp. If he could break through the enemy camp and burn the provisions, Jingzhou’s army would be in chaos. If the attack was not smooth, he could also lead his troops to retreat and harass the route for providing foodstuff behind Jingzhou.
So after a hearty meal, Mau personally led his troops to sneak close to Jingzhou military camp for several miles from the southeast, but four or five miles away from Jingzhou military camp, Mau, a scout of Jingzhou army, saw that the sneak attack failed and immediately changed to storm. He wanted to come to the enemy, even if there were left-behind troops in the camp, it would be more dispersed. It would be much easier to break one of them.
However, when Mao led the troops to rush near the Jingzhou military camp, he was attacked by a dense rain of arrows. Although Mao was not injured, he was shot dead and wounded a lot.
"General, since the enemy has been prepared, it is urgent to break this camp …" A captain of Mao Hui hesitated and said, "If we don’t withdraw temporarily, the soldiers will suffer too many casualties."
