Chapter 99 Siege
The 10,000 Jiangdong army outside Yangxin County slowly stopped, and the morale was like a rainbow, and the banners were rolling. Cheng Pu and Ling Cao stood and looked at Yangxin County from afar.
Cheng Pu looked at the dilapidated city not far away and asked in disbelief, "Is this Yangxin County? So Liu Qi's child is here?"
Ling Cao nodded and said, "Yes, Liu Qi's eight hundred cavalry are also here. It seems that he is ready to stick to it again." After saying that, he smiled and said, "I'm a little confused. Where did Liu Qi have the confidence to stick to? Such a dilapidated wall of 10,000 troops can take it with a charge. Isn't Liu Qi afraid of being caught after the city is broken?"
Cheng Pu did not answer but asked, "General Ling is sure that Liu Qi did not leave Yangxin County alone?"
Ling Cao shook his head and said, "I have put someone in this Yangxin County for a long time. Liu Qi did not leave Yangxin County, and there were two female relatives who seemed to be Liu Qi's wife. However, Liu Qi had never heard of a wife and when he was trapped in Jiangdong, it was impossible for him to have a female family. I'm afraid it was a woman who robbed in Jiangdong.
Cheng Pu, who had just finished speaking, had a gloomy face. Looking at Yangxin County in the distance, which was full of anger, Liu Qi robbed Da Qiao. Xiao Qiao's news had ordered a strict blockade. Even Ling Cao, he did not tell him. Now he can no longer suppress the anger in his heart when he heard that the two wives had become Liu Qi's wife. He said, "General Ling, please be careful."
Hearing Cheng Pu's words, Ling Cao was a little stunned, but then he was a little unhappy. Although you Cheng Pu is the four generals of Jiangdong, I am not worse than you, where you can scold casually. However, after Cheng Pu arrived at Chai Sang, he had been polite to him. Why did he suddenly scold him today? Thinking of this, he looked at Cheng Pu doubtfully and asked, "General Cheng, what's wrong with you?"
Cheng Pu suppressed the anger in his heart. At this time, he couldn't help him not tell Ling Cao. Otherwise, the soldiers who attacked Yangxin County and offended the two wives. He couldn't atone for his death. He pulled Ling Zuo forward a few steps forward and whispered, "Master and the wife of the governor, I'm afraid the Qiao sisters have been robbed by Liu Qi's child, the people in the city. I'm afraid it's the two ladies. General Ling must be careful not to offend.
Although the two women will probably not become the wives of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu after this incident, they are still the wives of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in name, and they are also incompetent when the two wives have been robbed.
Ling Cao, who was beside him, was stunned for a long time. He didn't expect that the lord and the wife of the governor were taken away by Liu Qi. It was a great shame that a man could not protect his wife, and Big Qiao Xiaoqiao was not only the wife of two men, but also the wife of the most noble person in Jiangdong. Now she has been robbed. That's the shame of the whole Jiangdong. Ling Cao turned his head and looked at Cheng Pu. Cheng Pu didn't seem to be joking and said seriously, "General Cheng, don't worry, the last general will never reveal a word. This time, he will definitely use Liu Qi's child's head to wash away the shame."
Cheng Pu nodded and said, "General Ling, please restrain your subordinates. Don't offend the two ladies when the city is broken, and the two ladies will be sent to Wujun." As for how Sun Ce will deal with the two wives, it is not something he should consider.
Ling Cao knew the seriousness of the matter and said solemnly, "General Cheng, don't worry, the last general will understand." After saying that, he turned around and returned to the front and ordered to the soldiers, "Send the order, when the city is broken, if someone dares to commit adultery, he will be executed immediately, and will never be tolerated."
"No." More than a dozen soldiers immediately dispersed and urged the horse to leave. Not long after, Ling Cao's order had been passed down.
Ling Cao and Cheng Pu looked at each other and nodded slightly and then waved their hands. Ten thousand troops went to Yangxin County, and soon they had arrived at the city of Yangxin County.
Ling Cao shouted at the city, "Liu Qi, why don't you open the gate and kneel down and be bound? Maybe you can spare your life."
Ling Cao's 10,000 army had already shocked the soldiers in Yangxin County. Looking at the 10,000 troops under the city, except for Feihuwei, other soldiers had been trembling with fear, and even the weapons in their hands were a little unstable.
Seeing this, Liu Qi shook his head. After all, he was not a trained soldier. Such a soldier could not last long under the fierce attack of the Jiangdong army.
Liu Qi looked at Ling Cao under the city and said with a smile, "When you are in Jiangdong, you can't let me get off the horse. Now I'm afraid it's even more impossible to get to Jingzhou." Liu Qi's words did make the nervous soldiers in the city laugh. He no longer trembled at the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong, but nervously looked at the Jiangdong soldiers under the city.
Cheng Pu beside him also couldn't help shouting, "Liu Qi, you can only escape from Jiangdong by relying on the power of the cavalry. Now that the army is besieging the city, your cavalry has no room to play. Moreover, this time I took the lord's personal guard. This time, I will see how you escape."
Liu Qi shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that General Cheng didn't catch up in Jiangdong, but let General Cheng catch up in Jingzhou. Aren't you afraid of causing a big war when you break into Jingzhou without permission? At this time, Liu Qi also just wanted to delay the time to wait for the reinforcements, and first with Cheng Puxu and the snake.
"Hahaha..." Cheng Pu laughed and said, "Why am I, Jiangdong Erlang, afraid of fighting? If it hadn't been for your soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, I'm afraid that there would have been no Jingzhou at this time." Then Cheng Pu shouted, "Liu Qi's child dares to go out of the city to fight."
The 10,000 Jiangdong army behind Cheng Pu also shouted, "How dare you go out of the city to fight!" The sound shocked the world, and the momentum was high.
Liu Qi looked at Jiangdong's high morale and couldn't help shaking his head and said, "General Cheng led 10,000 troops to challenge me a thousand soldiers and horses. I really appreciate it. The temperament of Jiangdong's soldiers and horses has not changed. If General Cheng leads the soldiers and horses to retreat 20 miles, he will definitely take the soldiers and horses out of the city to fight with the general. What does General Cheng think?
Cheng Pu was shocked and said, "Really?"
Liu Qi nodded and said, "I'm serious."
Ling Cao beside him was clear-headed and reminded, "General Cheng, don't listen to Liu Qi's words. He just wants to delay the time." Cheng Pu suddenly woke up and shouted to Liu Qi, "Liu Qi's child can talk about you. No one can save you today." After saying that, he nodded to Ling Cao and motioned to Ling Cao to command. After all, it was not good for Ling Cao to exceed his power if he was the master general.
Ling Cao looked at Liu Qi and said, "Let's see how long you can keep it." After saying that, he ordered, "Attack the city."
Ten thousand troops slowly retreated to make room, and a team of Jiangdong soldiers and horses sounded at their respective horns. At the urging of Sima, they drove the ladder and rushed to Yangxin County. The 10,000 troops left in a hurry without bringing too many siege equipment. They only brought dozens of ladders and 10,000 troops could only attack the city in batches.
As early as when the soldiers from Jiangdong came, Wei Yan had been cheering up the soldiers in the city. At this time, the soldiers in the city held big knives one by one, and the spears were waiting for the soldiers under the city. They could only summon up the courage to fight to the death when they knew that they could not escape.
Jiangdong soldiers and horses kept approaching Wei Yan with a big knife and a serious face, and even a little nervous. Seeing that Jiangdong soldiers and horses entering the range of the bow and arrow, Wei Yan shouted, "Put arrows!"
Dozens of feather arrows fell from the city, and there was a scream from the Jiangdong army. Although it was not big, it could be clearly heard. The screams shocked the archers in the city to shoot arrows down the city one by one.
A ladder is built on the city of Yangxin County. The towering ladders are even much higher than the county seat of Yangxin County. Jiangdong soldiers climbed along the ladder to the city wall.
Wei Yan was ready to shout at the soldiers behind him, "Roll the wood!"
The wood with sharp spines directly flew the soldiers on the ladder along the ladder, and then fell down the city. The rolling woods made the Jiangdong army a little chaotic.
Wei Yan did not stop but continued to shout, "The boulder!" Huge stones were thrown from the city and hit the ground with a bang. Some soldiers who had no time to avoid were crushed into the mud of the city, and the splashed stones hit Jiangdong soldiers' faces and left scars.
The siege was repulsed again and again, and the rolling wood above the Yangxin County, and the boulder began to have more and less Jiangdong soldiers attacking the city wall. The soldiers who were originally some nervous on the wall also fought blood, one by one with the Jiangdong soldiers.
The sound of the collision of weapons is endless. From time to time, soldiers fall to the ground and can no longer stand up. From time to time, soldiers fall off the wall and leave a big pit on the ground. Flying spears and feather arrows shuttle between the soldiers to take away lives. There are fewer and fewer soldiers in the city, and even Wei Yan has suffered many injuries.
Seeing more and more soldiers attacking the city wall, Ling Cao smiled and said, "One more charge should be able to capture Liu Qi alive in Yangxin County."
Cheng Pu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. The 800 people under Liu Qi haven't appeared yet. I think Liu Qi will put them behind."
Ling Cao shook his head and said indifferently, "General Cheng, don't worry. Those 800 people are cavalry, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened and can't stop the charge of the army at all."
Cheng Pu reminded when he saw that Ling Cao didn't care, "The Flying Tiger Army and the Lord's Guard are the elite of the elite, and the Flying Tiger Guard is the same as the Guard cavalry behind me. There is no difference between cavalry and cavalry and pawning. General Ling should be careful."
Ling Cao was a little curious and said, "Oh, in that case, I want to see it." After saying that, a thousand soldiers and horses who had been waiting behind him rushed to Yangxin County.
Eight hundred people in Yangxin County are also ready to rush to the city under the leadership of Ganning and Wang Yi.
