In the morning, smoke was curling in the east of Taicheng. The Chen army soldiers who had been attacking Taicheng since the early morning were about to retreat. Another group of Chen army soldiers who had used premature food were ready to go and were about to start a new round of attacks.

At the same time, Chen Jun from the north of Zhuquehang on the south side of Taicheng was also prepared and did not give Zhou Jun any chance to breathe.

The three are missing one, which is a common siege tactic. Chen's army has the advantage of military strength, but for various reasons, it can only siege two are missing two, and the main attack direction is the east of Taicheng.

The Chen Jun, located south of Taicheng, actually only controlled the area near the Zhuque Imperial Road, was responsible for preventing the Zhou army in the Changganli area of ​​the Zhuque's voyage in the south, and cut off the connection between the two Zhou troops in the north and south.

To the east, the commander of Chen Jun, King Yuzhang Chen Shuying, looked at the soldiers about to attack, and then looked at the Taicheng wall in front of him, and couldn't help but clench his fists.

After many days of fierce battle, our side finally repelled the Zhou army outside Taicheng and could directly attack Taicheng.

The Zhou army was short of troops and its own troops were relatively abundant, so Chen Shuying and the generals discussed a solution, which was to use wheel tactics to attack day and night, so that the Zhou army guarding Taicheng could not have an effective rest.

After a few days of trouble, the Zhou army in Taicheng was exhausted, and the Chen army soldiers were much more energetic because they were able to take turns to rest.

The offensive and defensive war around Taicheng has lasted for several days, and Chen's army adopted the method of siegeing the city by piled up soil and siegeing a large number of cloth, and made cloth bags overnight, and then asked the people who were recruited to fill the soil into the cloth bags to make soil bags.

The young and strong men carried cloth bags full of soil and approached the eastern section of Taicheng under the cover of carts. Then they piled the cloth bags under the city wall and gradually piled up a slope of soil.

The Zhou army naturally would not sit idly by and watch the Chen army pile up the soil to attack the city. Many hand-to-hand combat broke out for this. The Chen army relied on the large number of people and suffered a large number of casualties before gritting their teeth and piled up the slope.

Up to now, the height of the earth slope is almost the same as the city top. For the attacking party, the earth slope is like a step, enough for soldiers to climb the city top along the earth slope.

Now, under the cover of archers, the Chen army soldiers attacked upward along the earth slope and fought with the Zhou army on the top of the city. Because of the large number of people and the powerful, the Chen army gradually gained the upper hand.

In fact, Chen Shuying didn't want to attack for a strong force, as this would lead to a large number of casualties among his own soldiers. He had sent envoys to Taicheng to negotiate with the commander of the Zhou army.

He was willing to let the other party leave, provided that the other party releases all prisoners, does not destroy Taicheng, and must return most of the property, especially the food stored in Taicang.

The head coach of the Zhou army refused this suggestion, so Chen Shuying had to attack with force. Now that his side is about to win, Chen Shuying frowned for a few days, and at least there were signs of relaxation.

The Zhou State has declared war. Huainan Prefectures and counties are now going to resist the attack of the Zhou army and protect Guangling. It is difficult to divide the troops to reinforce Jiankang.

The water and land troops stationed in Nanyuzhou must be guarded against the upstream Zhou army, but they cannot divide their troops to reinforce Jiankang. The troops who came to Jiankang to serve the king must also be wary of the enemy troops at Jingkou. Therefore, to solve the Zhou army occupying Taicheng, Chen Shuying must "respond to his own strength."

Now, there will be a result. Chen Shuying only hopes to end the battle as soon as possible, sort out Taicheng, and immediately ask the Queen Mother and others to come back from Guangling. With the natural danger of the Yangtze River, it will not make the Zhou army so easily approaching the city, causing panic.

While thinking, a tide of cheers suddenly sounded. Chen Shuying looked up and found that the officers and soldiers attacking the city along the slope had rushed to the top of the city. The Zhou army's resistance was vulnerable and completely lost its previous ruthlessness.

Many soldiers cheered and rushed up the mound, then jumped onto the city, chasing the fleeing enemy.

Joy came too quickly, which caught Chen Shuying off guard. He watched his flag fluttering at the top of Taicheng City, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

The resistance of the Zhou army in Taicheng was too tenacious, so Chen Shuying felt that even if there was progress today, he had to fight for most of the day. As a result, the victory and defeat were decided as soon as the battle began.

The excited Chen Shuying ordered the drum officer to beat all the big drums to inspire morale, and to defeat the Zhou army in one go, and recover Taicheng.

In order to avoid the Zhou army from rushing to set fire to Taicang, Chen Shuying urged the generals to prepare quickly and organize a firefighting team to prepare. When several other generals saw their side successfully attacking Taicheng, they summoned troops to pursue the fleeing Zhou army.

Before, they had the sincerity to give each other a way out. Since the other party was unwilling, they deserved to be chased after being defeated.

Recovering Taicheng, then regaining Changganli, and stabilizing the situation in Jiankang as soon as possible is what must be done next. As for those unruly people who are accomplices of tigers, they naturally have to settle the accounts well, otherwise if the Zhou army approaches Jiankang again, these people will inevitably make trouble.

When Chen Shuying thought of this, he felt a little angry, but for him, the most urgent task was to recover Taicheng and I would like to talk about other things later.

Seeing more and more soldiers climbing to the top of Taicheng along the earth slope, Chen Shuying was intrigued and wanted to enter the city to command the battle on the spot in order to minimize the losses.

However, before he could set off, he heard the sound of horns coming from the south side of the trolley, and then the fighting suddenly became louder, as if the battle situation there suddenly became fierce.

Is it a dying struggle?

Chen Shuying thought so that Zhou Jun had no foreign aid, so it was normal for him to resist stubbornly at the loss, but it was useless to struggle any longer because the opponent had no chance of winning.

As expected, good news came later: the Zhou army attacked from the Zhuque Gate (South Gate) in Taicheng, trying to break through the interception of the official army, and detoured to the east of the city to encircle it, but was defeated by the official army soldiers.

The Zhou army fled into the city and had no time to close the Zhuque Gate. Now the official army has attacked Taicheng from the Zhuque Gate, and the opponent's situation is gone.

His side actually attacked Taicheng from the east and the south one after another. Chen Shuying was happy about this. The Zhou army was really over. As long as his side worked harder, it would probably not be a problem to capture all the Zhou army.

The soldiers cheered and rushed towards the Zhuque Gate. Chen Shuying rode on his horse and also headed towards the Zhuque Gate. It took more time to climb the earth slope. He wanted to ride into Taicheng as the commander of the entire army.

Advancing along the street, after a while, Zhuque Gate was right in front of him, and the door was in a mess. The soldiers rushed towards Zhuque Gate. Chen Shuying was about to rush forward, but he saw many soldiers rushing from the street ahead.

There are many people wearing armor, and it can be seen that the military uniform exposed under the armor is black.

Chen Shuying was stunned when he saw this. He was about to order the soldiers to rush up to defeat these dying enemy soldiers, but he heard explosions coming from all around him, which made his ears buzz.

After the explosion, there were earth-shaking shouts, some of which came from Taicheng, and some from Chen Shuying's back.

After a while, several soldiers stumbled and ran from behind. When they saw Chen Shuying, they shouted from afar: "King! No! A large number of cavalry surrounded us, and we could hardly stand it!"

"It's just some scattered soldiers who are eager to jump over the wall, how can they not stand it!" Chen Shuying felt inexplicable, "There is no reinforcements outside the enemy, so how could there be a large number of cavalry to encircle it!"

He didn't believe that the Zhou army had the strength to do roundabout encirclement, but the Taoist soldiers took a look in a panic and regarded ten people as hundreds of people.

Victory is imminent, it is just the enemy's dying struggle. Chen Shuying thought so and immediately mobilized his troops to resist the Zhou army's counterattack, but found that his soldiers were in chaos because of the influx of Taicheng, and they were eager to effectively dispatch them.

The brave ones won when they met on a narrow road. Chen Shuying commanded his personal guards and other soldiers to rush towards the enemy soldiers rushing forward. He wanted to defeat the dying enemy soldiers, and then return to defeat the so-called "enemy cavalry" that surrounded him.
