In front of the Jiangzhou Prefecture City, the Jin army soldiers dug trenches, piled up soil and built walls, and then set up military camps. Seeing that attitude, they launched a large-scale attack and would never give up if they no longer took the opportunity to seize the prefecture.

Although the Hezhong Army's vassal states were mostly mountainous, it was inconvenient to transport large siege equipment. However, the Jin army still mobilized dozens of catapults as much as possible, and attacked the city walls and cities at a rapid pace, trying to rush in from the collapse.

However, the defenders in the city had a good geographical advantage, not only were they like rain of arrows like dark clouds intertwined, but the huge stones thrown by the catapult cart were also bombarding the city wall like meteors.

Finally, he could no longer withstand the violent blow of stones, and bricks fell down with a bang, and the collapsed city wall was only about the height of two people. It was easier to climb up than the towering barriers next to him, and the Jin army immediately burst into a more intense shout of killing.

"My sons! Come and kill me into the city!"

Shi Yan, a lieutenant general of the Jin army, waved his sword and immediately shouted loudly. When Li Tianqu wanted to come to Gao Siji's family to help him through Li Keyong, he was powerful, but now he has surpassed Jin State, and Zhu Jin's forces have long been defeated... So Shi Yan did not follow the original trajectory with Li Chengsi and was ordered to support the friendly forces that fought against Zhu Wen together, and became the founding hero of Yang Xingmi Wu State.

However, according to historical records, Shi Yan is not only extremely brave, but also leads the way whenever he fights. So seeing that there is an opportunity, he immediately set an example and led his troops to launch a fierce attack on this city wall!

However, under the city gate, General Liang Jun, a general who saw the city wall collapse, still had a calm expression and did not show any panic. Not only was he majestic and majestic, but he was solid and stout, but he was also really like a yellow cow.

Niu Cunjie, a famous general in the Liang army, did not stay in Hezhong Prefecture, but personally led his troops to Jiangzhou, which was on the front line to supervise the city's war. With his order, teams of powerful crossbowmen stepped forward and aimed at the city.

Rows of strenuous crossbow arrows had long been put on the strings, and suddenly the dense sound of breaking wind broke out. The rows of crossbows fired from the top of the city. Listening to the howling and shrill sound of the wind, you can tell that the penetration force was also extremely strong (as recorded in "Old History of the Five Dynasties: Biography of Niu Cunjie", Niu Cunjie resisted the Jin army by "shooting it with a powerful crossbow? The people and horses all came into the cave? After 13 days, there were many casualties in the Jin army? Burning the camp and retreating? The county was fully collected").

The Jin army soldiers who were charging in the front were immediately hit by crossbow arrows, and the muffled and screams continued. Someone in the array fell to the ground one after another? The penetration power was extremely strong, and the crossbow arrows penetrated deeply into the armor, and blood was everywhere for a while? In a moment, countless soldiers were shot and killed.

Even if the Jin army siege troops who were successively siegeing the rain of crossbows and arrows? They took a ladder and climbed up from the collapse of the city wall, but heard the sound of killing sounds on the other side. Niu Cunjie was prepared for a long time, and Liang Jun, who was on standby near the city wall, immediately rushed up.

With the convenience of the geographical advantage, there is no need for many soldiers? The gap here can be blocked tightly? With Shi Yan's bravery and personally led the charge, he could not make any progress. During the fierce battle at the narrow collapsed gap, many bodies of Jin soldiers were added to the city wall.

There were still arrows on the top of the city like locusts. Those who were fighting with the Liang army at the gap? And the soldiers climbing up the ladder did not even dodge. Shi Yan was at the forefront of the siege troops and was preparing to climb up and use his own skills to break out a bloody road to the city.

However, although there were his personal soldiers around him setting up shields? Protecting his body, the sound of the crossbow arrows being heavily chiseled into the shield was a loud sound? After a little carelessness, a line of gap was revealed? A crossbow arrow immediately hit Shi Yan's shoulder? And the crossbow arrow with extremely strong penetration pierced the armor? It was also deeply trapped in Shi Yan's flesh and blood!

The sword in his hand fell down dejectedly, and the pain was really unbearable. Shi Yan was so painful that sweat oozed all over his body. He covered his shoulders and retreated to the rear under the cover of the frightened personal soldiers. This time

The fierce attack seems to be destined to end with the failure of the Jin army.

However, when Shi Yan looked back unwillingly and resentful, his eyes were also in a distant position with the eyes projecting from the city.

Niu Cun saw that the Jin army's siege troops retreated like a tide. Although the city guarded by him collapsed into a gap, he sent troops to preside over the city defense affairs. The city was very tightly defended, which made the fierce enemy feel impeccable.

"I look at Mr. Zhu. Although the spirit cannot be roughly peaceful, I will truly determine the chaotic master. I will follow it to gain wealth and honor!"

"The world is raging, and we should be responsible for heroes."

The first sentence is the words Niu Cunjie advised him after his old master Zhuge Shuang died of illness; the next sentence is what Niu Cunjie said after his father died of illness and had his mourning period, so he went to Zhu Wen and was given a name, which was changed from Niu Li to this name today.

Is Zhu Wen considered a hero? Niu Cunjie knew that many people would never agree with it. However, he was not only strong, loyal, but also believed in his own right. Since he had devoted himself to serving, Niu Cunjie recognized Zhu Wen, and in this life he would only fight for him on the battlefield and make achievements.

Since when he first joined Zhu Wen, he was just a low-ranking military officer of the Xuanwu Army. Now he has taken one step at a time and is already the pillar of the Liang army. For Jin State, Niu Cunjie also seems to be an insurmountable barrier at this time. Li Tianqu is also very clear about Niu Cunjie's historical evaluation:

Wu Ying was generous, had great integrity, and was guarded by the field. He was famous outside the country and was highly valued by the last emperor. However, his wood was strong, loyal and honest, and he had the style of Jia Fu.

From this we can see that this Niu Cunjie not only can attack in field battles, but also has the ability to defend the city.

Jiangzhou is the throat of Guanzhong. Even if Jinzhou, Xizhou and Cizhou cannot take into account both, they have to give up temporarily. This place must not be missed. I came to supervise the battle and defend the city. Even if the Jin army failed to attack, I intentionally spared the Jiangzhou capital and directly attacked Hezhong Prefecture... Our army could also leave the city and cut off his retreat. At that time, attacking with colleagues in the southwest would be enough to destroy the Jin army...

Niu Cunjie was thinking in his heart, and raised his head and looked at the main formation of the Jin army in the distance. A pair of sharp eyes looked at the top of the city. Even if they were far apart from each other, they were just looking at the same person as Niu Cunjie. His thoughts were on an opposite side, which was exactly the same as Niu Cunjie's thoughts.

Even if the war was going smoothly at the beginning, our army successively captured Jin, Xi and Ci, but Niu Cunjie personally led his troops to Jiangzhou to defend the country. As expected, our army was not famous for siege, and our army finally had a tough battle to fight... Even if we bypass Jiangzhou and attack Hezhong Prefecture directly, Niu Cunjie must have expected it and made arrangements in advance, but he could also plan to prevent our army from taking care of each other...

Li Sizhao, whose real name is Han Jintong, was adopted by Li Keyong as his adopted son. Now Li Sizhao has stood out among the generals of Hedong faction. Shi Yan, who failed to siege the city, retreated back under the escort of a group of soldiers. Even though his shoulder pain was uncontrollable, Shi Yan gritted his teeth and tried to straighten his body as much as possible, and said to Li Sizhao in annoyance:

"Li Jieshuai, I am really ashamed. I have lost a lot of lives in vain. In the end, I still can't break into the city!"

In terms of qualifications, Shi Yan followed his adoptive father Li Keyong to Chang'an to attack Huang Chao in the second year of Zhonghe in the Tang Dynasty, and was also a senior in the Jin army. Therefore, Li Sizhao rushed forward and comforted him happily:
Chapter completed!
