first-class champion

Shangrang's light cavalry squeezed up from both sides, forcing them to have no way to escape. The vanguard of the seven or eight thousand Caizhou army could only bite the bullet and rush towards the oncoming iron mountain and knife wheel as if they were hungry. Shredded, after the heavy cavalry and infantry waded through the enemy group.The dense light cavalry on both sides closed like guillotines, sweeping the battlefield and tidying up the last remnants of the enemy.

Xu Wen stood at the top of the city, watching a huge reinforcement army, the Caizhou Army with nearly 8000 soldiers.Under the horrific strangulation of Duan Mingyu's Shence Right Army, all the troops were shattered until the entire army was wiped out.

This was the true annihilation of the entire army, with no survivors left, not even a few of their horses survived. Xu Wen supported the city wall with his hands, his arms trembling, and his legs flexed.Looking directly at the place where thousands of people were running like tigers and horses like dragons just now, it is now a piece of red, a piece of shocking red, soaking the land.

Xu Wen was so distraught that he forgot to order the troops to withdraw, and the generals under him were also petrified. Their hearts suddenly fell from heaven to hell, from great joy to great sorrow, especially when they saw the Shence Youjun with their own eyes. The terrifying combat power that is impossible to resist in the face-to-face conflict, and the powerful shocking power of the soul, made it difficult for them to calm down for a long time.

Xu Jing's [-] troops under the city were still struggling. They couldn't see the situation ahead, and they were still trying their best to meet the Caizhou army that would never reach them.It wasn't until then that Xu Wen woke up as if he had just woken up from a dream. His long beard trembled suddenly, and he called out in a shrill voice, "Retreat! Retreat."

Everything they saw just now will turn into a nightmare, entangled in the dreamland of each of them, and soon, it will pass through the mouths of thousands of people in the city.Send this nightmare into the hearts of the people of Shouchun.

Inside the Shouchun City barracks, the horses stood quietly and the entourage lay down peacefully.Soldiers gathered around piles of bonfires, and the oppressive atmosphere made few people speak.

In the tent, Xu Wen, Xu Jing, and several important generals of Shouchun City sat cross-legged with serious expressions on their faces. The torches swayed endlessly in the wind, making their faces flickering.

"No, we can't mobilize the army to take the initiative to attack. We have to wait for the reinforcements from other towns to arrive. Gather enough troops and attack the Shence army besieging Shouchun City from different directions at the same time, so that they can't take care of each other. That's the only way. Only then can we rush into the city and defeat the Tang army."

After Xu Jing finished speaking, he ordered in a deep voice: "From now on, the food you carry should be as economical as possible until more reinforcements from the town come!"

In Duan Mingyu's tent, all the generals gathered.

Duan Mingyu said loudly: "Today's battle wiped out the entire [-] reinforcements in an instant, and there was no escape. Let the Shouchun defenders witness with their own eyes that this deterrent power is unparalleled. It is difficult for them to rush out with confidence. The city has come to fight us to the death. But the enemy will not just give up Shouchun, let alone surrender. Their only backing is to use the wide corridors and high walls of Shouchun City, and we cannot quickly mobilize troops to help anywhere. , Gather enough reinforcements, attack the cities at the same time, and try to join the defenders."

Duan Mingyu smiled slightly and said: "It's okay, the next thing we have to do is to make them give up the decisive battle with me, and go to defend the city. If Xu Wen wants to defend, let him guard the city to death."

The generals laughed, and Duan Mingyu pressed his knees and said: "If there are reinforcements again, release all the water and let them rush into the city to meet Xu Wen. You should have already figured out what to do next, since they are willing to be led by us If the nose is gone, then we will proceed step by step. Don’t fight Xu Wenwei, let Tian Lingzi fight it by himself. If you can’t eat Shouchun City, it’s because Duan thinks highly of him.”

The generals responded respectfully, Duan Mingyu said: "Okay, I'm tired of fighting for days, everyone go back, from tomorrow onwards, just put on a show. You can take turns to rest and recuperate."

Duan Mingyu looked up at the sky, Li Cunxiao, a famous general in the late Tang Dynasty, was loyal to Hedong, and Wang Yanzhang was caught by me, but it was a stone in the latrine, smelly and hard, and he refused to join him.Now Xu Wen and his son of Jianghuai are Confucian generals in the world, who knows who will fall into it, history has really changed beyond recognition...

The flames burned half the sky red, and the shouts of killing were deafening.In the flames of war, the defenders at the top of the city desperately blocked the magic soldiers who kept rushing to the top of the city.The two sides took the head of the city as the battlefield and launched a desperate struggle.

The battle robes of the defenders are very graceful in the Jiangnan style. Although they are not as heavy as the Tang army, the clothing is very delicate. The generals wear a lot of Mingguang armor, and the weapons they use are big swords, battle axes, and spear hooks. Guns, and a longbow in each hand, this is basically the equipment of the Shouchun defenders.

On the fourth day of the siege battle, the soldiers of the Shence Army were able to rush to the top of the city to fight. The defenders fight to the death.Of course, the Shence Army here refers to Tian Lingzi’s central army. Duan Mingyu and Yang Fugong are very self-aware and have always played the role of soy sauce. His first achievement, so the military order given to the two is to defend the Chinese army and not attack the city without authorization.

It was late at night, but the sound of fighting was shaking the sky and the earth. There were heavy casualties in the city, but the soldiers of the Shence Chinese Army who attacked the top of the city were also shot down by sharp arrows, and there were dead bodies everywhere in the small part of the city.

However, for Xu Wen, there was no way for them to retreat. The city was their last resort, and the only thing they could do was fight to the death.

With the sound of golden gongs, Tian Lingzi withdrew his troops.Today's Jianghuai is basically an independent kingdom, and the imperial court's influence here is limited. If it breaks through forcefully, it will attack the city.The army defending the city will change from [-] to all the people.The wear and tear of street fighting will be even more serious, and the Shouchun defenders will be dominated by [-] Yangzhou soldiers, supplemented by [-] Sun Ru surrendered troops, and [-] local peasants, young and strong, will support the appearance. Once Shouchun City is destroyed, the main general will die. All the forces that can't urinate in a pot will take advantage of the chaos to break out and escape in all directions. At that time, it will be more difficult to hunt and surrender everywhere. It will take two or three years at the fastest to make these wild horses run away. One attached.

Therefore, Tian Lingzi suppressed the siege firepower, and Shouchun City was always in danger, but it was always in danger.In this way, Xu Wen always kept a trace of fantasy in his heart, sticking to their city.

As the siege continued, Tian Lingzi sat cross-legged in a huge carriage pulled by four horses.In front of the car stood the imperial envoy's imperial flag, who was ordered by the sky. He leisurely sipped Chang'an's tribute tea and watched the soldiers of various ministries launch attacks one after another in an orderly manner.
