Chapter 160: The Battle of Jiujiang


Jiujiang County.

Shouchun City, an ancient city of the Warring States Period, was already crumbling under the fierce attack of the Yuan army, and the battle of Jiujiang County had now reached its most fierce moment.

Before Yuan Shu suddenly sent troops, the general Ji Ling personally led, brave and unparalleled, all the way like a bamboo, straight to the city, and Liu Xuan's generals withered, only with the 50,000 Jiujiang soldiers in his hands, in the face of the fierce Yuan army, practice and retreat, lost five counties in a row, has been beaten by the Yuan army to Shouchun, seeing that he is about to be defeated, Liu Xiang gritted his teeth and asked for help from the Jiangdong army on the other side of the Yangtze River.

Zhang Zhao, who was sent by the Jiangdong Army, after some bargaining, Liu Miao paid a considerable price in exchange for the consent of the Jiangdong Army.

Subsequently, nearly 13,000 elite Jiangdong troops quickly crossed the river, reinforced Jiujiang, stationed in Shouchun, and caught Ji Ling's Yuan army off guard.

From the siege of Shouchun City to the fierce battle now, the battle of Shouchun has been fought for more than a month, the battle is fierce, the city is up and down, the corpses are lying for miles, and the moat has been dyed blood red.

Ji Ling led tens of thousands of elite Yuan troops to launch five fierce attacks on Shouchun City, forcibly capturing the city, but he still could not break the strong Shouchun City.

Among them, the most critical is that the 10,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangdong in the city involved too many soldiers and horses of the Yuan army.

The Jiujiang soldiers are actually inferior to the Yuan army in terms of training strength, on-the-spot experience on the battlefield and determination to fight, but now there are elite Jiangdong soldiers leading them, but they can exert good combat effectiveness and stick to the city.

Liu Miao had the help of the Jiangdong army, and he stuck to the city without attacking, Ji Ling couldn't attack it, and he couldn't get in, so the battle situation was stalemate under Shouchun City.

In Shouchun City, Yangzhou Thorn History Mansion.

The official residence of the Yangzhou Thorn History Department has always been established in Shouchun, when the Thorn History Chen Wen was frightened away by Zhou Ang, Liu Miao took the opportunity to enter the master, and became the new Yangzhou Thorn History, stationed here.

"General Taishi, this Shouchun can be defended, and I have to thank the Jiangdong Army for their help, Liu is grateful."

In the lobby, Liu Miao knelt majestically in the first place, his eyes stared at Tai Shici in military uniform, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

This young man, he is both familiar and unfamiliar.

Today's Tai Shi Ci is no longer a small military marquis under his command, and today's Tai Shi Ci is a super fierce general who can confront the world's number one general, famous in martial arts, leading tens of thousands of soldiers, advancing and retreating to a certain extent, brave and strategic.

To put it mildly, Shouchun City can still hold on to Ji Ling's fierce attack, Tai Shi Ci is indispensable, if it weren't for the fierce Ji Ling who he personally went into battle and blocked it, Shouchun might have been broken.

When Tai Shi Ci was under his command, he felt that at most he had a martial arts, but he never knew that Tai Shi Ci's brave martial arts had reached such a point of bravery, he could almost form an army by himself, turn the tide of the battle, and he also had a calm and measured command ability.

Now Liu Xuan's heart regrets it This was originally a super fierce general who belonged to him, but because of his distrust, he has now become Sun Jian's subordinate.

When he knew that it was Tai Shi Ci who led the troops to reinforce Jiujiang, he didn't try to win over Tai Shi Ci again, after all, he knew Tai Shi Ci, and it was impossible for him not to be loyal to himself at all, but he successively sent several groups of lobbyists, all of whom were sent away firmly, and even cut one, which was to tell him that today's Tai Shi Ci would never be able to rejoin him.

"Liu Yuanjun doesn't have to be polite, a certain family guards Shouchun, it is the order of Wu Hou, you have a deal with Wu Hou, since Wu Hou wants to keep Jiujiang for you, a certain will definitely stick to the city, Wu Hou's order is less than a day, and a certain will never retreat half a step."

Tai Shi Ci's eyes were unturned, his face was expressionless, his words were like iron, extremely hard, and every sentence was clear, and now he Tai Shi Ci was already Sun Jian's subordinate.

This time Sun Jian was able to let him lead troops to reinforce Jiujiang, he was grateful to Sun Jian from the bottom of his heart, Tai Shici is a righteous person, even if Liu Jian did not trust him, and even wanted to kill him, he had no choice but to take refuge in Jiangdong, but he still felt a trace of guilt for Liu Jian in his heart for betraying his master and taking refuge in Jiangdong.

So in this battle, he not only went into battle in person to fight against Ji Ling, but also used all his skills, dispatched troops, guarded the gaps ignored in the city, and defended the city for Liu Xuan, even if he returned Liu Xuan's kindness, even if Sun Jian asked him to lead troops to capture Jiujiang, he Tai Shi Ci would have a clear conscience.

"Ziyi, even if you don't care about our previous relationship, we are also from the same country, why do you have to talk like this."

Hearing this, Liu Xuan's face was a little ugly, and he smiled slightly wryly.

"Liu Yuanjun, a certain family is a rough person, if there is anything offensive about your words, I'm sorry, please forgive Liu Yuanjun."

Tai Shici's eyes were cold, he bowed slightly, and his stiff voice sounded.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be really loyal to Sun Wentai."

Liu Miao looked at Tai Shici with a look of rejection, his face couldn't help but be a little pale, and he said coldly.

Tai Shici didn't answer, he told Liu Xuan with practical actions, and stood up directly, and said: "Liu Yuanjun, if there is nothing else, I will go to patrol the city wall to prevent the Yuan army outside the city from sneaking attack, so I will leave first." ” After speaking, he strode out of the Thorn History Mansion directly.

Liu Miao stared at his back, his eyes bursting with anger.

"Lord, Tai Shi Ci is too hateful."

One of the generals next to him said with some indignation: "Hmph, a traitor, isn't it Sun Jian, who is on the top, shameless." ” "If you have the ability to block the Yuan army, do you still need to be angry with him" Liu Xuan's gaze swept over the generals of the Jiujiang army, his face was a little gloomy, and he said coldly.

"Lord, it's normal for Tai Shi Ci to say this, after all, he is now Sun Wentai's general, and now we still have to rely on Tai Shi Ci's ability, ah" Chen Heng's face was cold, for Tai Shi Ci, he was very complicated, he could not die, and when he returned to Jiujiang, Tai Shi Ci made great efforts.

Speaking of which, Tai Shici took refuge in Jiangdong, and he can't be blamed.

"My lord, the most important thing at the moment is to defeat Yuan Jun."

Shi Yi said in a low voice: "And we are still on guard against the Jiangdong Army." ” "A certain family understands, but before Yuan Jun retreated, you were a little respectful to Taishi Ziyi, and now only Tai Shi Ci is no longer the same as Tai Shi Ci in the past."

Liu Miao was a little helpless in his heart, his eyes stared at some of the generals under his command who were angry, and said in a cold warning.

When Tai Shi Ci walked out of the Thorn Shi Mansion all the way, he suddenly looked back and stared, his eyes were a little nostalgic, a little complicated, and a little relaxed.

When he escaped from here, he never thought he would return in such a way.

"My heart is not ashamed, and I should be broken" Tai Shi Ci muttered a whisper, his expression became extremely rigid, and he immediately turned over and got on his horse, took dozens of personal soldiers, rode his horse and galloped, and left the Thorn Shi Mansion.

"General Zhou Tai, how are the casualties in your department?"

Tai Shi Ci soon appeared at the south gate of Shouchun City.

This is the main battlefield, Shouchun is surrounded by water in the east and west, and the Yuan army in Yuzhou does not have a naval army that can fight hard, so the only one that can send a large-scale main force to attack the city is the south city gate.

More than a month of fierce fighting, here has become a huge meat grinder, in the face of such a vicious battle, plus the Jiujiang County soldiers themselves have been defeated again and again, morale is insufficient, there are not a few generals, want to hold Shouchun City, Jiangdong Army must lead, play morale, in order to hold Shouchun, the cavalry is absolutely not moving, only the navy let go of the battleship, as a pawn use.

"We have suffered a lot of casualties, in the past two days, Ji Ling's bastard has gone crazy again, and he actually launched two strong attacks in a row, without caring about his own casualties, and the soldiers of Jiujiang County are not powerful, only we are on top."

In the Jiangdong military tent, Zhou Tai obviously just retreated from the battlefield, the blood stains on the armor, the blood of the long knife was awe-inspiring, and he said a little uncomfortable: "General Taishi, in the past ten days, the casualties of our navy have exceeded three thousand, and if we continue to fight, the casualties will be even greater, for Shouchun, our son, is it worth the sacrifice?"

Zhou Tai is also experienced in the battle of pacifying Danyang, if Shouchun is the city of Jiangdong, he will not say a word, and he will not complain to the last soldier, but now they are defending the city for Liu Xuan, such a big casualty, it is a little unwilling.

"Worth it" Tai Shi Ci squinted his eyes and said: "General Zhou Tai, the military order is like a mountain, you should know, since the lord's order wants us to hold Shouchun at all costs, then we can only fight at all costs." ” "I also know that the military order is like a mountain, but General Taishi, you say, why doesn't the lord directly occupy Jiujiang, just this point of Jiujiang soldiers and horses, as long as the lord waves his army north, they will definitely not be able to stop it."

Zhou Tai naturally knew that the military order was like a mountain, but he was a little unwilling in his heart, so he asked: "Now it is equivalent to defending the city for them in vain, thanks to it."

For Tai Shi Ci, he originally had some concerns, but after entering Shouchun, he didn't have it, and Tai Shi Ci slashed and killed a lobbyist of Liu Xuan, which was enough to prove his loyalty to Jiangdong.

And in this era, among the generals, most of them are heroes with martial arts, and Tai Shici's martial arts are above him, and he obeys.

"General Zhou Tai, why do we want to defend the city for Liu Xuan, I can't answer you so much, the lord must have the lord's consideration, but do you think we will defend the city for Liu Xiang in vain" Tai Shici outlined a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "When Zhang Changshi left Jiujiang, he was smiling. ” "That's right, to make that Zhang Changshi and that old man laugh like that, Liu Miao is afraid to pay a lot of price."

Zhou Tai was stunned for a moment, suddenly smiled, and asked: "General Taishi, now that the strength of the Yuan army and the Jiujiang army has basically bottomed out, when will your overlord iron cavalry be dispatched?"

"It's winter now, the grain road in Yuzhou is not passable, this battle is estimated to be not long, within five days, the Yuan army can no longer attack, Ji Ling can only retreat, you just need to hold here, and then wait until the two sides are the most tired, the overlord iron cavalry will give them a big surprise."

The Overlord Iron Cavalry entered Shouchun under the cover of the warships of the Jiangdong Naval Army, and this news has always been filled with Tai Shi Ci tightly, and it has never been revealed in front of the Shouchun people.

Tai Shi Ci waited for the final blow.

Tai Shi Ci squinted, a touch of battle intent crossed his eyes, and said: "This time, we not only want to keep Shouchun City, but also rub Yuan Shu's sharp energy, even if we can't kill Ji Ling, we must let Yuan Jun lose troops and generals, and we must also be regarded as a breath of relief for the Lord Gong's battle of Bishui Pass that year." ” In the past, under the Bishui Pass, the Jiangdong Army was because of Yuan Shu, tens of thousands of soldiers died tragically, and became an unforgettable hatred of the Jiangdong Army, although the Jiangdong Army has grown more than ten times, but the foundation is still today's Jiangdong Army, those veterans will be to their subordinates from time to time, take this matter out, and over time, this shame will become a shame known to everyone in the Jiangdong Army.

"Good" Zhou Tai's eyes were shining, and he said, "A certain family must let Ji Ling consume the last breath of morale on this city." ” "You be careful, try to preserve your strength, the Jiangdong Army is the Jiangdong Army, the Jiujiang County soldiers are the Jiujiang County soldiers, we are not all the way, there are some cannon fodder, can be used or used."

A cold light burst into Tai Shici's eyes.

"Got it."

Zhou Tai squinted, nodded, and said. t1706231537:
