Chapter 841 840 [See red clothes in the morning glow]

"When this battle started, our military strength was 110,000, and later there were 30,000 reinforcements from the Ningguo camp, totaling more than 140,000. The Jiangling garrison consisted of about 35,000 people, all of whom were brave and good at fighting. After

After ten days of fighting and fighting, our number of sound and capable soldiers remains at more than 100,000, while the number of defenders in the city does not exceed 25,000."

"Judging from the performance of the defenders, their counterattack has reached its limit. The last two times they have used extremely strong will to defend the city wall. But we all know that a string that is stretched too tight will inevitably break. As long as we come back again

With an all-out attack, the Jiangling garrison will inevitably collapse."

Fang Yuntian looked around at the generals in the tent and continued: "Whether it is in terms of strength or condition, we already have an absolute advantage, and you should know that His Majesty sent envoys yesterday with an imperial edict to encourage the soldiers to fight bravely.

The enemy will be rewarded after recapturing Jiangling City. In contrast, Jiangling City is isolated and helpless, the Tiancang River is in the hands of our navy, and the Liang Army on the north bank can only face each other across the river. The gap in morale between the two sides has been

it goes without saying."

Everyone was inspired by his reasonable analysis, and the depressed soldiers who had been unable to attack for ten days were wiped out, and their fighting spirit and fighting spirit were rekindled.

Fang Yuntian changed the subject and said: "This is our best opportunity and our last chance. Beiliang has many soldiers and strong national power. They will definitely not sit back and watch us besiege Jiangling. If we cannot seize this opportunity, we will not be able to use our advantage."

If it turns into a victory, the overall situation will be extremely passive. At that time, not only will you not be able to make contributions, but you will become the sinners of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

It was rare for him to speak so straightforwardly and clearly, and of course the generals in the tent would not fail to understand him.

"My lord, I am willing to personally lead the troops into battle. If you are unable to climb to the top of Jiangling City tomorrow, I am willing to come and see you!"

"My lord, the general is only willing to fight to the death and will never take a step back!"

"My lord, please allow the last general to lead the troops into battle!"

For a time, the crowd was full of emotions and murderous intent.

Fang Xie Xiao nodded slightly to his eldest son, then raised his hand and said: "Okay, we will start attacking the city tomorrow at midnight. General Fang Yun and Li Zhong, order you two to lead 10,000 people each to attack the east gate of Jiangling."

"The last general takes command!"

"Qin Zhang and Fang Rong, order you two to lead 10,000 men each to attack the west gate of Jiangling."

"The last general takes command!"

"Uncle Anlu," Fang Xiexiao looked at Wu Fu, the deputy commander of the Ningguo Camp, and said solemnly: "You will lead your troops to attack the south gate of Jiangling tomorrow."

Wu Fu was ordered to come for reinforcements this time and took away half of the infantry of the Ningguo camp. In the first two days of fighting, the 30,000 soldiers suffered a small loss, and their morale and physical strength were maintained very well. It was reasonable to undertake the main attack task.

As it should be.

He bowed and saluted and said: "Please rest assured, Lord, I will do my best in the end."

Fang Xiexiao said again: "Fang Huai, you lead two thousand cavalry to raid the formation for Uncle Anlu. Cui Yi, you lead ten thousand infantry to support Uncle Anlu."

Wu Fu's heart moved, and he knew that the Duke of the country could not completely trust him, so not only did he have two thousand cavalry to supervise the battle, but there were also ten thousand people watching closely behind him. For Fang Xie Xiao, he must be careful in the final battle.

Cautious, Wu Fu seemed to have no doubts about this, with a calm and calm expression on his face.

Fang Xiexiao nodded with satisfaction and said to everyone: "Please retreat, and when you get back, make it clear to your subordinates that the imperial court and I will not treat any of you badly."

The generals were ordered to leave, and many of them couldn't help but glance at Fang Yuntian as they left.

They were slightly curious. Since it was a critical moment, why did Lord Zhen Guo abandon the most powerful trapped camp?

Fang Yuntian was also a little puzzled. Although his leg injury had not yet healed, he had never thought of being timid in battle. At this extremely critical moment, the trapped camp should naturally take on the most arduous task.

It was very quiet in the handsome tent. Fang Xiexiao turned to look at him and said in a deep voice: "Yun Song has no news yet?"

After Fang Yunsong led the troops to pursue the Tibetan Front Guards, he would send his trusted followers to report back the news every day, promptly reporting the movements of the Beiliang cavalry so that Fang Xiexiao could analyze the battle situation. However, as they got further and further away from Jiangling, the speed of the news also increased.

Slow down, the last time was two days ago.

Fang Yuntian shook his head and said: "I haven't received any news from my second brother. Father, judging from his last report, Pei Yue has realized that the battle situation is developing in a direction that is not conducive to Beiliang, so he changed his strategy and used the cavalry's

The high mobility harassed various towns in Ningzhou, trying to attract the attention of our army. The second brother borrowed 5,000 troops from the Ningguo camp. At this time, the activity space of the Beiliang cavalry should be reduced."

Fang Xiexiao said slowly: "I'm just worried about Yunsong..."

Fang Yuntian said firmly: "Father, my second brother has always been cautious and brought eight thousand cavalry with him, but Pei Yue only has two thousand cavalry with him, so there will be no danger."

Fang Xie Xiao said: "There are many brave and skilled people in Beiliang, and Pei Yue is extremely sharp and good at seizing fleeting opportunities in battles. I am not worried about Yunsong's safety. Even if he is not Pei Yue's opponent, he can protect himself."

There shouldn't be any problem. It's just that... don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. The reason why I didn't use the trapped camp is to prevent possible changes."

Fang Yuntian bowed and said, "My son understands."

Fang Xiexiao sighed softly and continued to look at the sand table in front of him, speechless for a long time.

Until dawn the next day, he still had not received any news from Fang Yunsong, so he could only put it behind him because the decisive battle had come.

…

It was October 18th, the sixth year of Kaiping in Daliang.

The sun penetrates from the eastern sky, reflecting the endless glow.

The warships of Nanwufeng Navy stayed on the river, looking indifferently at the lonely city on the south bank.

Arms and horses, war drums beating loudly, and the noisy sound of fighting could even reach the north bank of the Tiancang River. The soldiers of the Zhennan camp were ready, but they were unable to cross the chasm in front of them. They could only watch helplessly as their comrades in Jiangling City watched.

Pao fought bloody battles at an absolute disadvantage.

Just after Chen hour, the main force of the Zhou army launched a battle to climb the city.

This time, they seemed to have no fear at all. They climbed up the ladder as quickly as apes. Under the cover of their own archers, they jumped onto the city wall risklessly and fought with the defenders. Blood was constantly sprayed on the ancient and strong city wall.

, the roar continued endlessly. Even though the soldiers defending the city had been mentally prepared, the fighting spirit and the intensity of the war that broke out from the Zhou army still exceeded everyone's expectations.

The situation instantly became very dangerous, especially the east wall that Li Jin was responsible for guarding.

The Yanshan Guards had been responsible for the defense here from the very beginning. For ten days, they were constantly attacked by the Zhou army, and the number of troops in the battle was very serious. If Baoding Bocai Qian had not sent reinforcements several times, the city defense might have been lost long ago.

Li Jin took the lead and stood at the front with a gun. He was not afraid of the cold arrows shot from below, and led his soldiers to continuously repel the enemy's attacks.

He was born in a poor family, but thanks to the support of Gu Liang, he grew from an ordinary soldier to the commander of the Yanshan Guards. He was also named Yanshanzi for his military merits, which was enough to honor his ancestors. However, he felt that he did not have any outstanding qualities, only diligence.

Only by training your soldiers and doing your best to fulfill the commander's entrustment can you be worthy of this honor.

It's just that... there are as many enemies as jackals, and no matter how hard he tries, he can never kill them all.

The strength in his body passed quickly. He was not a martial arts master like Gu Fan, and he had not had a good rest in the past ten days. His support had reached the limit. After stabbing an enemy to death with his gun, he

One foot stumbles

Staggering, he suddenly fell forward. At this time, all the soldiers were gritting their teeth to deal with the Zhou army in front of them. Seeing the general falling in front of the enemy army, many people let out shrill roars, but they could only watch the man swinging his sword.

He slashed at the back of Li Jin's neck.

An iron spear roared towards him.

When the man held the knife in both hands and raised it, the spear penetrated his chest and back with majestic force, nailing him to the wall behind him.

Li Jin struggled to get up and turned around, only to see a cold face wearing light armor, with a red cloak covering her shoulders.

On the harsh and cold battlefield, this bright red color passed through, constantly seizing the soldiers' weapons with bare hands along the way, and then kicked them off the city wall.
