Liyang, Tianshi Tao camp.
Lu Xun and Xu Daofu stood side by side, both of them frowning. Far across the river, they could see on the other side of the river, on the long river bank, more than a thousand Jin army cavalry, galloping back and forth, like ordinary people.
The difference is that these cavalry are all equipped with tiger skins on their bodies and holding five-meter-long fine steel cavalry spears in their hands. From a distance, they look like teams of running tigers.
It scares people.
And behind the river bank, there are thousands of wooden stakes, with grinning human heads stuck on them. Many heads are also combed in buns. Obviously, this is the case in recent days. Jiankang City was not defeated by force, but was beheaded instead.
The heads of the Tianshi Dao disciples who were killed were now displayed on the bank of the river, which was a shock to the Tianshi Dao army.
Xu Daofu said coldly: "Senior brother, how is it? Is this the result you want? Waiting for changes in the city, the noble families expel Liu Yu, Jiankang City will be destroyed without attack, but what about now?"
Lu Xun sighed softly: "But in the past few days, using your plan to storm Xinting has resulted in a loss of troops and generals. In addition to the sacrifice of thousands of brothers, nothing has been gained. However, where did these armored cavalry come from?
Come out? I have only seen such an army in the Yan army during the Northern Expedition. Could it be that Liu Yu used some method of shrinking the land? The world was moved so much that he could defeat the Southern Yan army in ten months.
Have the cavalry moved here?"
Xu Daofu gritted his teeth: "The scouts came to report that this tiger-spotted cavalry came from the Kuaiji area in the south, and half a month ago, hundreds of large ships came to the harbor of Kuaiji County, including
Wan's cavalry landed ashore. It seems that they should be Liu Yuzhengyan's troops transported from Qilu."
Lu Xun punched the city wall with hatred and said in a deep voice: "What the hell, I didn't expect that Liu Yu's army did not go by land, and did not go through Jiangbei and Yuzhou, but came directly by sea. If I had known
We should send a fleet directly out of Hudu into the sea to intercept this fleet."
Xu Daofu shook his head: "If our fleet goes to sea, Liu Yu's fleet will not go south. Instead, it will land in the Yuzhou area and then press over from Jiangbei. After all, our troops are huge in number.
Every movement, in Liu Yu's eyes, this Jiankang City is really a damn place, blocking our channel to the sea to the east, and blocking our main route to Sanwu Land to the south. It's smelly and hard!"
Lu Xun curled his lips and said: "For months, we have been unable to defend Jiankang City. Whether it is Stone City or Xinting Fortress, we have launched many attacks, but nothing has been achieved!"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud "bang" sound. A Huanglong clipper about fifty steps away from the river bank was hit by two huge harpoons. Two huge harpoons suddenly appeared on the board.
There was a big hole several feet wide, and the raging river water poured in continuously from the big hole. This poor warship turned in circles a few times, and then sank into the river. Even the people on the ship wanted to
It was too late to rush out and jump into the river to escape. As several big waves rolled in, the people and boats disappeared.
Xu Daofu gritted his teeth tightly and looked at the more than ten Wanjun crossbows lined up on the opposite river bank in the distance. The cheering Jin army officers and soldiers said bitterly: "What if Jiankang is captured?"
City, these damn Wanjun divine crossbows, and the Jin army who wielded the divine crossbows, I will cut their corpses into thousands of pieces and throw them into the river to commemorate our soldiers who were sunk and fell into the water."
Lu Xun sighed: "These broken crossbows are all equipped with wheels. Every time we want to force ashore to attack, they will flee to the camps and fortresses behind. And our soldiers who go ashore will be attacked by the enemy's crossbows.
Even if the cavalry counterattacks, with hundreds of casualties, it may not be able to kill a single Jin army. And if the fleet on the river uses long-range attacks, it will be difficult to break through the Jin army's land defenses. There is no chance of winning in such a battle."
Speaking of this, Lu Xun pointed at the camp in front of him. There were hundreds of white tents filled with wounded soldiers. The sounds of screams and howls came one after another. And wearing white robes, they were covered with blood.
The doctors, who were dyed red from top to bottom, were running in and out of various camps. From time to time, stretchers came in. Soon, the bodies covered with white cloth were carried out and hurried out.
At the gate of the camp on the other side, dozens of people with disheveled hair were naked, strung up by ropes, kneeling on the ground, and more than ten executioners holding ghost-headed swords, with half of their chests exposed, waving their hands.
The bloody butcher's knife was raised and fell, and the heads of these people were separated from their necks. The black heads rolled around on the ground like watermelons, while dozens of servants and slaves quickly picked them up.
These heads ran to the gate of the camp and stuck their heads on some wooden stakes as a punishment for the deserters.
Lu Xun sighed: "Daofu, have you seen that our army has suffered a series of unfavorable battles. In the past month, we have suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and the food roads in the rear are constantly harassed by this piece of shit Yu Yue. Even Changsha and
Baling has also been threatened by Liu Daogui from Jingzhou, and procrastinating like this is not an option. I think we should consider temporarily withdrawing the troops, stabilizing the rear first, and then moving forward?"
Xu Daofu said sternly: "Absolutely not. Our army still has about 100,000 elite warriors. Now we are approaching Jiankang City. We are in difficulty, and the Jin army is also in difficulty. Even if Liu Yu and the Beifu army can bear it,
The children of those pampered aristocratic families cannot bear this hardship. Besides, didn't you say that the cloak can help us?"
Lu Xun gritted his teeth: "I don't know why, but since Liu Tingyun's death, this cloak has never had any contact with us. I think this guy is using us and wants us to fight with the Jin army. Both sides will suffer."
, If I had known this, I should have listened to you and attacked the city directly."
Xu Daofu's eyes were red: "It is useless to say this now. We are now under a fortified city. Guangling in the north of the Yangtze River has also been unable to be conquered for a long time. Now the number of reinforcements for Guangling from the north is increasing day by day, and the troops are divided to attack Wu.
Even a small group of troops will never return. Now we have only one way, which is to concentrate our forces, attack Jiankang, and take it down in one fell swoop!"
Lu Xun frowned: "A storm on Jiankang? What kind of storm? Now our fleet can't even get close to the river bank. There is a large land beach for the army to go ashore, only around Xinting, and at the mouth of the Qinhuai River,
If it is blocked by a large number of sunken boats and sharp wooden stakes from the Jin army, it is impossible to break through. How can we attack by force?"
An evil smile appeared at the corner of Xu Daofu's mouth: "This requires the cooperation of senior fellow apprentices, to attack the east and attack the west!"lt;divid=t;devicet;style=t;backgrund-clr:#c0d16d66;fnt-size:16px;brder-radi
