Chapter 1215 1216 [There will be times when the wind and waves break] (12)

Yaozhou, Jiangyin Prefecture.

This place is adjacent to the estuary of Tiancang River and has jurisdiction over seven counties, including Songyang Prefecture and Hunyuan Prefecture to the west.

The structure of the Daliang Southern Army and the Western Army are not similar. This is because the geographical conditions on the two sides are completely different. The border of Lingzhou is at the eastern end of the Gaoyang Plain, and is separated by the terrain formed by the northern foot of Cangwu Mountain. Therefore, the Western Army

Each major battalion only needs to hold on to the dangerous terrain to effectively block the invasion of Western Wu's large army.

The south is different. The two countries of Liang and Zhou generally use the Tiancang River as the national boundary. This river originates from the Cangwu Mountains and is thousands of miles long. There are a large number of ferries suitable for ships to dock in the middle. Whether it is Daliang or Southern Zhou, you can choose

There were many routes for dispatching troops, which meant that the southern army of Liang Dynasty could not only defend the main camp, but had to distribute its troops to various important passes and cities.

Last winter, the imperial court issued a written note and the Huaiqing Guards stationed in various places in Jiangyin Prefecture were transferred to Sizhou, while the Guiyang Guards originally assigned to the Changping Camp were transferred to guard Jiangyin Prefecture.

The commander, Gu Jie, personally led 5,000 elite soldiers to guard the city of Jiangyin, and placed the remaining 7,000 subordinates in three county towns along the river.

On the east wall of Fucheng, Gu Jie stood solemnly in armor with a solemn look on his face.

In the distance is the more than 200-mile-long estuary waters of the Tiancang River. In the past, cargo ships and merchant ships could often be seen coming and going. Starting from the beginning of this year, as the atmosphere on the Liangzhou border became increasingly tense, relevant ships were almost

Almost extinct, only some small fishing boats can be seen occasionally.

However, at present, there are countless Southern Zhou warships connected together, like clouds hiding the moon.

The sound of footsteps came from behind Gu Jie. A capable man in his thirties walked quickly forward, bowed his head and said, "Second Young Master."

This man's name is Chen San, he is Gu Jie's personal soldier, he has a loyal temperament and strong skills.

Gu Jie stared at the Zhou army's infantry camp in the distance and said in a deep voice: "Speak."

Chen Sandao: "There is a reply from Shangyuan Mansion. The Marquis of Zhenyuan said that the Southern Dynasty is coming fiercely and will definitely threaten more than just Jiangyin, so our army needs to strictly guard all places. He also said that he has ordered the second young master to guard the Jiangyin defense line.

People went to the right military aircraft to ask for help."

Shangyuan Mansion is where the commander-in-chief of Yaoshan Camp is located, and the Marquis of Zhenyuan is Gu Jinshao, the new commander-in-chief of Yaoshan Camp.

Gu Jie frowned slightly.

Yesterday, a large number of Southern Zhou warships appeared near the mouth of the lower reaches of the sea. He immediately ordered the defenders from various places to strengthen their vigilance, and at the same time sent a request for help to Gu Jinshao. The territory of Jiangyin Prefecture is a vast plain, and except for the various cities, there are few passes to defend, so the Zhou army's main attack

The direction is most likely here.

However, the sudden appearance of a large number of Southern Zhou warships obviously put Gu Jinshao in a dilemma, because the Dingzhou Navy near Puqi City is now facing frequent advances from the Nanwufeng Navy, and they must defend the waters from Wufengdu to Shennvdu.

.If the Wufeng Navy is allowed to flow down the river, the connection between Gangneung-Hanyang City on the south bank and the north bank will be cut off, and no one can bear the consequences.

In other words, the Dingzhou Navy now has no time to take care of the downstream river defense. After the Southern Zhou Dynasty dug out its wealth to build this new navy, the entire Yaozhou coastal waters have become the Southern Zhou Dynasty's possession.

In this way, not only Jiangyin Prefecture, but also Songyang Prefecture and Hunyuan Prefecture to the west may be attacked by the Southern Zhou Dynasty, especially the boundary of Songyang Prefecture, with the Zhou Dynasty's Linjiang camp on the south bank.

Not only that, the navy of the Southern Zhou Dynasty could also go north along the coastline and invade Weihui Mansion behind Jiangyin Mansion.

Gu Jinshao's arrangement seemed fine on the surface. Before the main force of the Southern Army arrived for reinforcements, he really could not spare any extra troops and could only order the defenders from various places to hold on.

Gu Jie looked at the Zhou army camp to the east outside the city, frowned and said: "Go to Liu Fuyin immediately and ask him to continue recruiting civilian men in the city, and at the same time let the guards of the wealthy gentry and those brave men form a reserve army.

"

Chen San solemnly said: "Yes!"

The war came faster than everyone expected. After just one day of rest - the most important thing was to assemble the siege equipment, the Zhou army launched a brazen attack on Jiangyin Fucheng the next morning.

The Zhou army had about 20,000 troops, and the city's defenders only had 5,000 troops. However, these 5,000 men were elite soldiers trained by Gu Jie himself, and their strength and morale were the best.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the two sides repeatedly fought for control of the city wall. As the fighting continued, Gu Jie clearly felt that the strength of the opponent's advance army was different from before. In the Hanyang raid the year before last, Gu Jie also led the troops to act with the army.

, has a clear understanding of the combat power of the Southern Zhou Ningguo camp, which is obviously weaker than the Zhou army in front of them.

Pingjiang Fangjiazi.

This title suddenly popped into his mind.

This is indeed the case. The one responsible for the main attack task is the Ruijia Battalion, which is composed entirely of Pingjiang disciples.

Gu Jie's martial arts talent ranks last among the four brothers, so it is difficult for him to boost the morale of the entire army like Gu Fan. However, Gu Liang has praised him more than once for his calmness and composure. No matter how difficult the situation is, he can't overcome it.

Destroy him.

On the fourth day of the siege, Jiangyin City was still in the hands of Liang Jun.

In the main formation of the Zhou army outside the city, Fang Yuntian ignored his young brother Fang Yunji who was eager to try next to him. Accompanied by a group of generals, he walked up the mountain and looked at the situation inside the city.

"General, the Beiliang defenders are almost exhausted under our army's tough offensive. We are confident that we can capture Jiangyin City within half a day!" A young general said solemnly.

Fang Yuntian was noncommittal and said slowly: "The Beiliang Army is nothing more than that."

Everyone kept echoing, but they were a little confused in their hearts.

Although the balance of victory and defeat has been tilting towards our side, the most important reason is that Liang Jun has too few troops, and our side is the elite Pingjiang Ruijia Battalion. It is said that the eldest son is by no means an arrogant person.

, why do you suddenly show such contempt?

Fang Yuntian looked around at everyone and said calmly: "I am not saying that the soldiers of Beiliang are low in combat effectiveness, but I am mocking the commander of the Yaoshan camp, Gu Jinshao, for being as timid as a mouse. Although our navy already controls this water area, he is because of

Worried about being diverted away from the mountain by our army, or afraid of taking the responsibility for the fall of other places, we can only rigidly stand firm and wait for reinforcements, without the ability to make emergency decisions on the battlefield."

Only then did all the generals react and couldn't help laughing.

One of the older military generals joked: "This is not a clever plan by the Duke of Guo, which makes General Beiliang confused about our army's intentions. What if he is not so cautious?"

The rest all smiled and agreed: "Extremely yes, extremely yes."

Everyone knows that the Liang and Wu countries are fighting endlessly in the west of the mainland, and the Northern Liang is under great pressure. At this time, the Zhou army first launched an offensive in the upper reaches of the Tiancang River, and then used its powerful navy to attack Yaozhou.

However, neither of them put all their strength into it, and they were obviously hiding their back-ups. This made Coach Liang Jun dare not be careless, and this resulted in the situation of each fighting on its own.

Fang Yuntian smiled slightly, looked at Jiangyin City to the north, and said calmly: "Since the other party does not dare to send troops and generals, naturally we cannot refuse the other party's good intentions. Lin Zhi, Fang Ning."

The two generals stepped forward and said in unison: "The final general is here."

Fang Yuntian said word by word: "You each have five thousand sharp soldiers, and you must capture Jiangling within two hours!"

"The last general takes command!"

Lin Zhi and Fang Ning strode down the mountain, and immediately they heard the sound of military drums resounding throughout the countryside.

The Zhou army made a comeback, and Jiangyin city walls were once again plunged into bloody battles.

After three days of hard fighting, Shangyuan Mansion still did not send reinforcements. The defenders had already reached their limit. However, no one was timid at this time, and they still rushed towards the Zhou army with swords and guns regardless of their own safety.

Gu Jie held a spear and fought in the most dangerous place accompanied by more than ten soldiers.

After Chen San killed a Zhou soldier, he finally couldn't help gritting his teeth and said: "Second Young Master, withdraw!"

Gu Jie didn't even look back and said firmly: "Shut up!"

Chen San wanted to persuade him again, but Gu Jie squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "Gu family men can only die in battle, how can they live in an ignoble way?"

He suddenly took a step forward, pierced the abdomen of a Zhou soldier with his spear, pulled out his waist knife with his backhand and slashed horizontally, and a cloud of blood mist bloomed in front of his eyes.

Then there was a stagger.

Chen San quickly supported him with his eyes and hands. He could clearly feel that Gu Jie's body was shaking due to the loss of strength, but his eyes remained firm.

Looking at the four city walls, there are Zhou troops climbing up the ladders everywhere. The five thousand soldiers of Guiyang Guard have less than three thousand left. Blood and flesh are flying everywhere, like a hell on earth.

Gu Jie straightened his body, with a will to die without regrets in his eyes.

Chen San turned around and wiped his eyes, smiled sadly and said: "In that case, I will accompany the second young master to Jiuquan."

Before Gu Jie could answer, he heard a chorus of shouts coming from the west.

Like thunder, it goes straight into the sky.
