Chapter 474: The Tiger of Jiangdong Strikes(2/2)
Before the Chutian forces marched towards Hebei, they knew that the princes in Jiangdong would not remain indifferent.
There is no better time for Jiangdong to defeat the Central Plains.
Huainan is an eternal pain for the Jiangdong forces.
The population outside Hefei was moved into the city by Lu Su, and one of them was a farmer who looked around from time to time.
His ability was so effective that the officers guarding the city disliked him and regarded him as an ordinary peasant.
"The defenders in this city are very strict and migrated tens of thousands of people to defend the city. I'm afraid that it's not that we already know that we are going to attack Hefei. They are also investigating the matter. If it weren't for my ability, my identity as a spy would have been leaked."
The scout Shi Qian sent by Song Jiang had special abilities and was responsible for exploring the reality of the defenders in the city.
Shi Qian saw the martial law in Hefei, Zang Ba and Sun Guan personally led the soldiers to patrol. Sometimes the commander Zhang Liao would also lead a team of soldiers to patrol the defense, and he was shocked.
The Chutian forces must have deployed scouts in Lujiang and Chaisang areas, so when Lujiang and Chaisang gathered troops, Hefei immediately strengthened the city defense.
The city wall in Hefei has been built to a height of ten meters, like a fortress.
Chu Tian knew that the wooden arrow tower was easily ignited and destroyed by the opponent's fire arrow, so he built a large number of stone arrow towers, horse faces, and stone towers, mainly with stronger stone city defense fortifications. At the same time, a large number of consumables such as rocks, rolling wood, yaksha, turbulent oil, arrows, etc., as well as dozens of double-bow crossbows, and three-bow crossbows.
"The spies who may mingle in Jiangdong in the city. If you encounter suspicious people, check more."
Xueyue came to Hefei in person, in addition to notifying Zhang Liao, and another purpose was to prevent the spies from the Jiangdong Army from entering Hefei.
The scout's intelligence is crucial to marching and fighting.
When the princes were fighting, their scouts were also fighting in secret.
However, the guild of Xueyue is hidden behind the scenes, walking in the night with brocade clothes.
At present, Xueyue is still the city lord of a city, but in fact she has relatively high real power. She is one of the top leaders of Chutian's power and claims to be the city lord to the outside world.
The guild's strange scouts began to investigate possible scouts sent by the Jiangdong Army in Hefei City.
The Ruxushui River, the tiger from the east of the Yangtze River, led his troops, the Liangshan army that conquered them, and a subordinate Ji Ling, Lei Bo, and Mei Cheng, a powerful Lujiang River, with a total of 100,000 troops attacking Hefei from the water.
As for Huan Wen and Liu Laozhi, they guarded Chaisang and guarded against enemies from Jingzhou.
Tongque did not completely believe Yang Shilang in Jingzhou because Yang Shilang had the ambition to annex Jiangdong. Moreover, Tongque's scouts heard that Yang Shilang was hoarding troops in Jiangling, and his intention was unknown.
After Sun Jian recovered Song Jiang and his group, his power expanded and he could obtain the two generals Dong Ping and Hua Rong. Sun Jian was quite satisfied.
Maybe Sun Jian would not have thought that Song Jiang would soon choose to surrender after losing the battle.
Sun Ce pointed to the city ahead: "Father, there is Hefei City ahead. We need to get off the ship and gather to attack Hefei."
When Sun Jian saw the city walls of Hefei, he couldn't help but sigh: "When he came from the river and came from Hefei, he could ask Shen, Cai, Xu and Shou in the north, and compete for the victory of the Central Plains. When he got Hefei in the Central Plains, he would stumble on the south of the Yangtze River and defeat his back. No wonder his brother wanted to take advantage of Chu Zi's plan to go north and compete for Hefei. He ordered all the troops to camp ashore."
Under Sun Jian's command, a total of four legions came ashore, including the Jingnan Legion, the Liangshan Legion, the remnants of Yuan Shu, and the Lujiang Heroes, among which the main force was Sun Jian's army.
One hundred thousand people stationed outside Hefei City, and it was quite convenient to transport food, grass, weapons and siege equipment by boats.
"We have to face Chu Zimou's army again."
