Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 688
The weather was scorching hot, and the smell of blood permeated outside Jingzhou City.

Hou Junji and Su Dingfang rushed forward with [-] troops each.

After hesitating for a moment, King Li Hedong of Chu chose to continue fighting.

On the city tower, a burly man looked a little dignified, and he always felt that something was wrong there.

Suddenly, the big man's face changed, and he secretly said something bad.

"Notify the prince quickly and return to the city as soon as possible."

"Mr. Jiang, Tang Jun is nothing more than that. Why should he retreat? Why not send out the [-] troops in the city and end the battle directly."

There was some disdain in the eyes of a military commander, Jiang Buhe snorted: "This is the Tang army's trick to lure the enemy, let the prince come back quickly, otherwise our army will suffer heavy losses."

The general still didn't take it seriously, but he didn't dare to disobey Jiang Buge's order, so he immediately sent someone out of the city to contact Li Hedong.

Below the city tower, Li Hedong was enjoying the killing and killing like crazy. At this time, a soldier ran over: "My lord, Mr. Jiang wants you to return to the city as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Li Hedong waved his hands: "Tell Mr. Jiang that this king wants to defeat the Tang army."

Saying that, before the soldier could speak again, Li Hedong brandished his weapon and killed him again.

As the prince of Datang, who wasn't shot down from horseback?
kill, kill.

Li Hedong didn't have the slightest intention of retreating.

And at this moment, the troops of Hou Junji and Su Dingfang had already killed them from both sides.

Seeing that the time had come, Qin Tian immediately released the Mad Demon Army.

"kill!"

As soon as the mad demon army came out, the world seemed to change color. This is a crazy demon army. They are not afraid of death. As long as they enter the battlefield, they only know how to kill, kill, kill!

The fighting power of the Mad Demon Army was much stronger than those of the rebels that had been subdued before. After Li Hedong's rebels encountered the Mad Demon Army, they immediately felt the pressure, and one after another the soldiers were killed by the Mad Demon Army.

After experiencing a baptism of blood, the Mad Demon Army has been completely reborn.

"What's going on?" Li Hedong also obviously felt the pressure, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, he might be fooled.

It's just that Tang Jun has already arrived, and it will be too late to retreat. As long as he gives an order to retreat, his entire army will be in chaos.

Thinking about it, Li Hedong could only bite the bullet and continue to fight with Tang Jun.

"kill……"

The Beacon Army and Demon Killing Army have also arrived. Their combat effectiveness is about the same as that of the Mad Demon Army. Maybe their training methods are different from Qin Tian's, but they are famous generals after all, and their training methods are definitely not weak. .

The Tang army surrounded the rebels from three sides, and then they fought one after another.

The fight started in the morning and continued until noon.

After the arrival of reinforcements, Tang Jun became in a crushing state.

There are fewer and fewer soldiers and horses around Li Hedong.

"My lord, hurry back to the city." Jiang Buhe sent another person. Although they had a lot of troops, it would be very disadvantageous for them to fight outside the city, so they had to stick to the city.

The rebel army has been severely damaged, but at this time, Li Dongdong has no other better choice.

"retreat!"

The rebels began to retreat, and the Tang army reaped the harvest, killing the rebels on their backs, and finally stopped when they reached the side of the moat.

Li Hedong fled back to the city with more than 1 soldiers and horses. In this battle, he lost half of his soldiers and horses. He originally had 4 soldiers and horses, but now only a little over [-] are left.

On the side of Tang Jun, there were naturally casualties, but they quickly recruited the rebels who failed to escape.

In the scorching afternoon sun, corpses piled up outside Jingzhou city, and the smell of blood was pungent, attracting many flies.

Li Hedong has already returned to the tower, but his face is ugly.

He was a little regretful and a little angry.

If Jiang Buge had come back when he first sent someone to call him, his soldiers and horses would not have been damaged so badly.

"Damn it, I fell for it."

Angry Li Hedong hammered the city wall, but Jiang Buge next to him seemed very calm. In his opinion, the more Li Hedong regretted, the more he would rely on him in the future.

As a strategist, such a situation is successful.

"My lord, although our army has suffered a disastrous defeat, it does not mean that they will be able to capture Jingzhou City. We have widened and thickened Jingzhou City over the years. Even if the Tang Army has twice as many troops, they will never be able to attack it. , as long as they can't attack, we can slowly consume them."

There is a lot of food and grass in the city. As Li Dongdong who has already conspired to rebel, he has already stored a large amount of food and grass in Jingzhou City.

Consuming with Tang Jun is no problem at all.

Hearing Jiang's disagreement at this moment, Li Hedong could only nod his head. Now, he dared not go out of the city to fight again.

"Order, let our soldiers guard the city gate at all times. We must be careful. I heard that Qin Tian will make something similar to a Kongming lantern, which can float in the air. Beware of them entering my Jingzhou city from the air."

"Here!"

After Li Hedong gave some instructions and arrangements, he finally went back to rest.

At the same time, after cleaning the battlefield, the Tang army had already led the troops back to the camp, but this time, they met in one place.

Now, the rebels already know that they are just pretending to be at odds. If they set up camp separately, the strength will be too scattered, which is not good. Therefore, although they are not in the same camp, everyone's camp must be closer.

"Okay, it's fun to kill, it's cool to kill."

As soon as he returned to the barracks, Cheng Chumo couldn't help yelling, this time everyone joined hands, he really felt happy, it was so cool.

Qin Tian was relatively calmer. Although he was not detached from things, he was able to do so without being happy with things or sad with himself.

Back in the big tent, Qin Tian said: "This method can only be used once. Next, I'm afraid we will face a tough battle."

Li Dongdong is different from Han Yi. It is useless to send people to instigate rebellion. After all, all he has are his own soldiers. These soldiers are still very loyal to him. Therefore, all they can do next is to attack the city .

After Qin Tian finished speaking, Hou Junji and Su Dingfang didn't think it was a big deal. When they took Jingmen and Yichang back then, they took it by force. Now that they want to take Jingzhou City, it's a big deal for them. What kind of?
"My Tang army has the Great Tang Divine Crossbow. Using the advantage of the Divine Crossbow as a cover, we can quickly attack the city. Even if it is a tough battle, it is nothing."

"That's right, but the rebels, what are you afraid of?"

Neither Hou Junji nor Su Dingfang had any opinions on the siege of the city. Qin Tian was more cautious and thought about it for a while. After thinking about it like this, he really couldn't think of any other way to defeat the enemy, and finally he could only agree to the siege.

"Okay, let the soldiers have a good rest, and attack the city early tomorrow morning."
