Cifengque

Chapter 319
Zhou Guang had a good plan, but he still underestimated the prestige of Junci to the Central Guard Army.

This is the first time that the Central Guard Army has been on the battlefield. Songzi City was commanded by Jun Ci, but it was taken by Qin Xiao and others bravely, and suffered heavy losses for this.

It's up to others, this happened to the Guan Long Army, he may not be able to order the fledgling Guan Long Army to give up the first city they captured so easily with a single order.

No one knows better than him that the coach and the soldiers also need to work together.

In his speculation, he didn't need much help, just a little bit of unwillingness from Qin Xiao and the others, and a little delay, and he would be able to lure the Southern Dynasty army over.

At that time, he can take advantage of Junci as the current coach of the Eastern Conquest, and throw the hot potato to Junci.

As for whether Jun Ci will use this to send Guan Long's army to defend against the enemy, Zhou Guang is not worried at all. He can have an old illness, and Guan Long's army can obey and violate, but he can't control Guan Long's army. middle.

It never occurred to him that Junci abandoned Songzi City so cleanly, and the Central Guards left so simply.

"General, the army of the Southern Dynasty is coming soon, should we defend the city?" Not only Zhou Guang, but also Zhou Guang's subordinates were dumbfounded, but he had to quickly ask for instructions on what to do next.

"Defend!" Zhou Guang ordered forcefully, "Lock the city gates and arm them!"

He withdrew earlier, although the reinforcements were billowing in smoke and dust, but it would not take a while for him to rush over.

As for Liu Zong, he was too cautious.If it has not been merged with the reinforcements, it will never be easy to chase after with a large group of people.

In his eyes, no matter what quarrel Junci and Zhou Guang had, they were generals of the Southern Dynasty. He was worried that this was a conspiracy between Junci and Zhou Guang, leading him to pursue Songzi City and annihilate his entire army.

Therefore, when the mighty army of the Southern Dynasties approached the city of Songzi, Zhou Guang had already prepared all defenses.

It is true that he only has 5000 people, but it is enough to defend the city!

"Counting the food and grass in the city..."

"Archers and catapults with three wings..."

"Search for pharmacies, horses, wine and oil in the city..."

Zhou Guang issued orders one by one, the army of the Southern Dynasties converged, Liu Zong was the commander, and 3 people attacked the city.

"Archers gather the enemy's catapults!" Standing on the tower, Zhou Guang personally commanded.

He directed the archers to target the enemy troops next to the catapults, which did too much damage to them.

With focus, the Southern Dynasty infantry below quickly dodged a small number of archers and got close to the root of the city wall. Countless people were carrying bamboo ladders, and the ladders were placed on the city wall.

Seeing this, Zhou Guang's eyes were cold: "Pour oil, fire prevention!"

As soon as the stairs were erected, the oil led down the stairs, and tongues of fire flew down from above. The people who were drenched in oil turned into firemen in the blink of an eye, and rolled down screaming, knocking down the soldiers below, or igniting them.

The Guanlong army above quickly pushed down the burning ladder.

Zhou Guang pulled the bowstring by himself. His bow was extremely heavy, and the arrow was thicker than usual. He aimed at Liu Zong below.

Liu Zong did not kill, and quickly dodged, but Zhou Guang only shot one arrow at him. The second arrow seemed to be aimed at Liu Zong, but it deviated the moment he let go of the bowstring, and aimed at a person next to Liu Zong. Commander.

An arrow with extremely penetrating power, when the arrow hits the center of the mouth, the general will fall down in an instant.

This was extremely damaging to the morale of the Southern Dynasties.

Seeing this, Liu Zong had to grit his teeth and order: "Retreat for another mile!"

Retreating for a mile and widening the distance, even if Zhou Guang's arrows are powerful enough, it is difficult to kill the target again, and even if he hits it occasionally, it will not cause fatal injuries.

The two armies fought fiercely in Songzi City.

A guarded posture.

A determination that must be broken.

At this time, Jun Ci returned to Yidu safely with everyone.

As soon as he entered Yidu, Jun Ci ordered martial law.

"General, if Zhou Guang leads the Guanlong army back, shall we open the city gate?" Wu Zheng couldn't help asking.

"He won't withdraw it." Junci's tone was predetermined.

"Huh?" Everyone was startled.

Qin Xiao frowned: "Could it be that he is worried about entering Yidu and being controlled by the general, so he wants to evacuate and go elsewhere?"

"If that's the case, wouldn't we still be forced to fight when the Southern Dynasty army attacked?" Wu Zheng was anxious.

"Don't worry, the Southern Dynasty army can't fight it." Junci threw the whip to Chen Chen, and strode into the county guard's mansion.

Liu Cheng and Huo Qingqu greeted him at the gate of the prefect's mansion. Seeing the resignation, Liu Cheng looked anxious: "General, Zhou Guang led the Guanlong Army into the city and out of the city, and there will be no way to stop them."

Seeing Zhou Guang's unkind appearance, Liu Cheng knew that something bad would happen if Zhou Guang went to Songzi City, but he tried his best to delay, but he could only delay for a quarter of an hour.

Otherwise, he and Zhou Guang would have to fight in Yidu City. If so, there would be endless troubles.

"It should be so." Jun Ci didn't blame Liu Cheng.

The two dynasties were really at war, and let the Southern Dynasty army know that the Central Guard Army and the Guanlong Army were fighting in Yidu. With Liu Zong's temperament, he would never let this opportunity go, no matter how high the price was, he would lead a large army to attack.

The Guanlong Army and the Central Guard Army are facing each other, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

There are many soldiers in Yidu Zhonghu, but Guanlong Army has Zhou Guang. Not only is Zhou Guang brave and unstoppable in Yidu City, but his position is also above Liucheng.

If you fight hard, you will lose both sides.

Even though he knew that Jun Ci was reasonable and would not blame him, Liu Cheng felt relieved after hearing what Jun Ci said personally: "General, what is the situation now? Why did General bring Commander Qin and the cavalry back to Yidu?"

Could it be that Songzi City was given over to Zhou Guang?

As if he had guessed what Liu Cheng was thinking, Jun Ci said, "Songzi City is now taken over by the Guanlong Army, and the two armies must be fighting hard at this moment."

"The general said that Zhou Guang wanted to defend Songzi City!" Wu Zheng never thought of this possibility.

After all, Zhou Guang only brought 2000 more people than Jun Ci, and Jun Ci resolutely abandoned the city. Could Zhou Guang be more strategic than Jun Ci?Otherwise, with only 2000 people in many districts, where does the courage come from?
Huo Qingqu probably guessed the cause and effect. Seeing Junci's tired face, he spoke on behalf of Junci: "If Zhou Guang hadn't been eyeing you, the general would never have taken you to abandon the city."

There is an essential difference between Jun Ci and Zhou Guang. Zhou Guang was able to defend the city not because he had 2000 more people, but because he had no one to make trouble.

If Jun Ci defends the city with [-] central guards, he has to beware of the Guanlong Army who has to admit it.

Passive is passive because Zhou Guang belongs to the return of missing persons, and Junci is now the number one general who is ordered to take over the war when he is in danger.

Zhou Guang can leave things to Junci, but Junci cannot leave it to Zhou Guang.

"Can he hold it?" Zhao Chun was a little worried.

If you can't hold it, you don't have to ask them for reinforcements.

For his own selfishness, this person insisted on provoking the pacified war again.

Just to murder their general, how many people have to be sacrificed?

The first to bear the brunt is his own Guan Long army, so he doesn't cherish his soldiers so much?
