Chapter 580 Yuecheng
Tens of thousands of troops crossed the river in mighty force.
This river is neither deep nor fast, so those who are brave can definitely wade through it. Before, I was worried that the opponent would attack and block the river from crossing, but I didn't expect that there were more than ten thousand elite troops ashore and no troops from Yuecheng were deployed.
The city is not far from the river, and you can see people on the city wall watching the Yan army crossing the river.
Jiang Mian breathed a sigh of relief. The guard Qiao Sheng was indeed a mediocre person who relied on his clan sister to earn a living. He only dared to defend the city and did not dare to go out to meet the enemy. The other Wu troops probably trusted the Yuecheng wall too much and did not even add any reinforcements.
Pai, or Qiao Sheng is just an outcast who failed in a power struggle and was abandoned.
What he didn't know was that there was a pair of eyes looking at this place through the mysterious space of luck...
Bai Yujun is far away in the southern wilderness.
Seeing that the Human Emperor's luck was showing signs of decline, and that Yuecheng was full of murderous intent like a monster with its mouth open, Bai Yujun could tell that the Yan Army would definitely be able to capture Yuecheng, and it would be hard to say what would happen next.
Looking to the east towards the Central Plains.
"It's finally begun. The messenger had better run faster..."
Yuecheng.
Pan Hongzu stood behind Jiang Mian with a cold expression.
Although this Chunyang disciple is cold and taciturn, Jiang Mian really can't live without him. Although Chen Jia, a Western sect, has the same level of cultivation as Pan Hongzu, his fighting power is as good as heaven and earth. The same monster can beat Chen Jia half to death.
He could not survive a cup of tea in the hands of Pan Hongzu, so it can be said that as long as Chunyang Taoist priest is by his side, he will be safe and sound.
At this moment, King Jiang, Pan Hongzu, and Chen Jia stood by the river and looked into the distance.
After surrounding Yuecheng, Qiao Sheng's daughter Qiao Jin held a silver spear and asked for a battle in front of the city gate. The generals of the Yan army stepped forward to tease the female general and wanted to capture the female general, but he never thought of losing three people one after another...
"Who else dares to fight? There is no one in the Yan army?"
Qiao Jin shouted tauntingly in front of the city gate, but no one on the Yan Army side dared to challenge him.
This is a battle between single-handed generals. Either accept it or admit that your skills are inferior to others. People will look down upon you if you rush into a siege. Even if you watch Qiao Jin kill three generals and then return to the city in a show of glory, you can't break the rules.
, the popularity of contemporary martial arts has not reached the level of treachery that it would have in later generations.
King Jiang turned to look at the disciples of the two sects.
"Can you two take action to capture that female general?"
Chenjia smiled.
"The young monk is not suitable for fighting. Why don't you take a trip with fellow Taoist Lao Pan?"
Pan Hongzu refused without even raising his eyelids.
"Not going."
"Well……"
Jiang Mian and Chen Jia were speechless. They really had nothing to say to this ice cube. They never spoke tactfully and always refused directly. Maybe they were in a bad mood because they were delayed from sword practice.
He shook his head and sighed, forget about the fight, let's just start attacking the city.
The trumpet sounded the order, and tens of thousands of soldiers were ready to attack the city. What Yan Jun didn't expect was that the number of Yuecheng defenders was very small. If there were no reinforcements, the city would definitely be defeated in less than two days...
Qiao Jin retreated to the city to defend the city. The Yan army had already begun to attack. The archers from both sides were close to the farthest range and fired at each other. Although the Wu army had a good location on the city wall but there were not many soldiers, they were suppressed by the archers outside the city. The arrows were like locusts and the swords were like frost. They attacked.
The city was in a state of intensification from the very beginning.
From a distance, one could see Qiao Sheng, who was heavily protected by soldiers, looking miserable, something was abnormal.
Jiang Mian always felt that something was wrong...
The fierce battle for a long time ended at nightfall. The Yuecheng defenders were exhausted and demoralized. Qiao Sheng lowered his head and sighed without making any attempt to hide it. Only Qiao Jin ran around to greet the city defense. Those who didn't know thought that the female general Qiao Jin was the Yuecheng defender.
Early the next morning, the well-fed Yan army began to attack the city again.
The temperature difference between day and night is large, and dense fog rises from the mountains around the Yuecheng Plain. It is as if the mountains deliberately cover up the bloody massacre with thick fog, and the fog spreads towards Yuecheng.
Pan Hongzu, who was responsible for protecting King Jiang, suddenly opened his eyes and looked into the thick fog, his hand on the hilt of his sword, ready to move!
Chenjia wanted to remind King Jiang to pay attention to his surroundings. Suddenly, the siege soldiers in front cheered. Yue City was broken. The two great disciples looked at each other with heavy thoughts. The defenders were too weak. There must be something wrong.
The city gate opened wide, and countless Yan soldiers filed into the city.
Just when the Yan Army completely occupied Yuecheng and captured the Qiao family's father and daughter, suddenly a horn sound came from the direction of the mountains, and then countless naked and bald weirdos rushed out of the mountains and forests and rushed towards the river!
The Yan Army's generals led a large army to intercept them. What they didn't expect was that those weirdos directly cut through the military formations and broke through the defense line in an almost suicidal manner. They quickly blocked the Yan Army's connection with the north bank of the riverside plain. They were extremely ferocious and their combat power was astonishing. The soldiers of the army faced
The weirdo was quickly defeated, and with a ferocious expression on his body covered in blood, he rushed towards King Jiang Mian's flag at an incredible speed!
Chi Mang soldiers covered in black tattoos even beheaded their heads and drank their blood. Their ferocious behavior frightened ordinary soldiers. There were very few real elites in the army, and most of them were young men recruited temporarily. When they saw this scene, they were immediately frightened.
.
Unexpectedly, the situation took a turn for the worse in a short period of time. Jiang Mian, who had originally planned to command the army to eat these Wu troops, was horrified.
Some counselors suggested that you quickly go into the city to hide and rely on the city walls to defend against these weirdos.
"Go to the city...! Come to the city quickly!"
Chi Mang did not chase into the city, but killed the Yan army outside the city to pieces. Countless soldiers fled to the north bank. The Chi Mang people repelled the reinforcements and blocked King Jiang and nearly 20,000 soldiers in Yuecheng.
.
The future Emperor of the People was tricked.
Yuecheng is a good place for traps and encirclement for reinforcements. Qiao Sheng and his daughter Qiao Jin were used as bait by the King of Wu for no apparent reason. There were many people in the city but the granaries were empty. They clearly planned to trap Jiang Mian here and wear him down.
Drop reinforcements.
"Chimang people! Damn it!" Jiang Mian almost vomited blood.
In just two days, the situation changed dizzyingly, and Nanwu suddenly got rid of its disadvantage and gained the upper hand.
In the next few days, the river near Yuecheng dyed the river red with blood. The Yan army tried to support King Jiang in Yuecheng. Every time they crossed the river, they were frantically attacked by Chi Mang people to encircle the area for reinforcements. They lost more than 20,000 troops and countless corpses.
Being thrown into the east of the Yangtze River was far more than the losses in several battles going south...
Jiang Mian stood at the top of the city and witnessed one failure after another.
Immediately afterwards, the Yan army on the north bank of the Yangtze River suddenly stopped crossing the river and had a tendency to retreat. Except for the original team that followed them and insisted on saving them, most of the generals who had defected later had plans to establish a new king. The current situation was obvious and there was no need to continue to risk their lives.
If the Chimang people are still unable to escape or be defeated when the rainy season comes, Yuecheng may become the trigger for the destruction of the Yan Kingdom and fall apart at any time. The newly unified Northland will once again fall into a situation of melee among many warlords.
It seems that the newly established Yan Kingdom is facing a crisis of overthrow.
Pan Hongzu promptly reminded that there was still an ally.
"Can the demon soldiers under the Jiao Demon King be able to defeat Chi Mang's army?" King Jiang, who was battered and had blisters on his face, asked.
"easy."
"Quick...pen, ink, paper and inkstone! I'll write a handwritten letter!"
One night, a messenger used the cover of darkness to pass through the Chimang defense line, and after several twists and turns, he went straight to the southern wilderness...
