Suizhou City was crumbling like a candle in the wind under Zuozhen's fierce offensive.
It stands to reason that He Jin, Bai Wang, and Chen Kexin are all practical talents who can take on big responsibilities. With the sincere cooperation of the three of them and the unity of the army and the people of the city, they are still unable to resist Zuozhen's fierce attack.
He Jin looked heavy. Not long after he came to join the Chuang Army, he had to take on the responsibility of being the commander of the city defense in the Battle of Suizhou. Once the city defense was lost, how would he, King Zuojin, and his thousands of brothers in Zuoying defend the Chuang camp?
What about standing still?
He Jin had fought against Zuo Liangyu many times, and his biggest impression of Zuo Zhen, besides the corrupt and crazy military discipline of this unit, was that they were like loaches, running extremely fast and no one could catch them.
But he has never seen the beast army in Zuozhen so willing to sacrifice their lives as they did today!
"He Lan, you take my personal sentries to the north gate for reinforcements!" He Jin was still worried about the loss to the north, gritted his teeth and made up his mind, ordering He Lan to bring all his personal sentries under the box to reinforce.
But Bai Wang's opinion was different from that of Marshal He. Just as He Lan turned to leave, Bai Wang, who looked anxious, grabbed his sleeve and said:
"No, no! Our Chinese army has too few soldiers and horses. If we go to reinforce the North Gate now, who will reinforce the South Gate later? The situation in the Water Gate is the key and the winner today. Zuo Liangyu will definitely concentrate his troops.
Use Water Gate as the breakthrough point. Our troops and horses cannot be transferred to the North Gate, we must capture it to prevent the South Water Gate from falling!"
At this moment, the Zuozhen Lu Division had mobilized its entire army to attack Suizhou City from three sides. Nanshuimen was also violently attacked. However, according to He Jin's observation, the intensity of the attack suffered by Nanshuimen was the same as that of Jin Shenghuan and Zuo Mengeng.
The attack launched last time was similar. He believed that Liu Xiyao, who was proficient in water and good at water fighting, would be able to sustain Zuo Liangyu's attack.
He Jin shook his head and rejected Bai Wang's opinion. He still insisted on using the main mobile forces to rush to the North Gate: "The left army's offensive against Nanshui Gate was limited in strength and was about the same intensity as the previous attack. Liu Xiyao suffered very little loss of troops and horses.
, he was able to withstand the Zuo Army Navy last time, and he will definitely be able to do so this time. But the North Gate is already crumbling, Zuo Liangyu concentrated so many artillery bombardments, and did not hesitate to lose soldiers and horses, casualties, simply
You are risking your life by fighting."
The battle on the city wall became more and more intense. More than ten trenches had been completely filled by the left army. The defense lines of the city wall were broken through in several places. The left army's fierce general Rui Shi, who numbered nearly a hundred people, climbed to the top of the city to defend the city.
The saber-breaking players on the battlements started a desperate fight.
Almost every second, someone falls from the city wall, and with every breath, countless pieces of blood are stirred up by the white blade.
The power of the left army's heavy artillery was astonishing. Five-pound, eight-pound, and even some heavier heavy artillery shells kept hitting the city wall. Once they were fired, there was a piece of rubble and a huge deep pit. It was like a piece of paper.
Thousands and tens of thousands of arrows were inserted into the ravaged city wall, so densely packed that it looked like a giant hedgehog crawling on top of the city.
Another artillery shell flew into the city battlements, approaching the position of He Jin, Bai Wang and other generals. The soldiers had quick eyesight and quick hands. They rushed over and knocked down the two commanders with their bodies, protecting their vital points.
Rubbles flew everywhere. Fortunately, because the distance was not particularly close, only three or four soldiers were slightly injured and no one died.
He Jin was startled by the shell and broke into a cold sweat. He wiped his forehead with the back of his hand and made up his mind:
"Zuo Zhen's offensive is too fierce. Don't think too much. Zuo Liangyu will definitely put all his trump cards on Master Lu today. He wants to go head-to-head. He would rather break his teeth than eat us all alive.
Lao Bai, you listen to me, just listen to me! If something goes wrong, I will be responsible! Helan, you go to reinforce the North Gate now and bring all our soldiers and Chinese troops there. Time waits for no one. Hurry up.
Go quickly, you must resist the left thief!"
Bai Wang was helped up from the ground by a soldier. His right leg was injured by a flying stone. It was still bleeding and it was very difficult to move. Lao Bai's face was quite ugly. He concluded that Zuo Liangyu must be
There will be other backup options left.
How could the Zuo thief change his gender? Would he fight such a battle in which he would kill eight hundred enemies and lose one thousand to himself?
"He Shuai! You are the formation envoy, and you are the general entrusted with important responsibilities by the commander in chief, but I am also the prison envoy of Suizhou. You must listen to me regarding the arrangements for the city defense!"
In the Chuang Army, Bai Wang has always been well-known for his thoughtful, smooth and thoughtful image. Even He Jin from the Fifth Battalion of Ge Zuo had heard that there was an extremely considerate Lao Bai in the Chuang Army, but when things came to
At the critical moment, when his judgment will affect the lives of countless soldiers and civilians in Suizhou, when Bai Wang firmly believes that his opinion is correct...
An astonishing aura erupted from his body. This veteran, who was already thirty years old and had a child, seemed somewhat slippery and thoughtful, stared at He Jin with wide eyes. He stretched out his hand to stop Helan,
He Lan was not allowed to leave, so he walked closer to He Jin. Bai Wang was much shorter than He Jin, and his eyes only reached He Jin's chin.
But the little man looked directly at He Jin and asserted:
"Zuo Liangyu will win or die in this battle. Will he concentrate all his troops on land? We don't have a navy, and water is Zuo Liangyu's biggest advantage! The Zuo thief is neither Fu Zonglong nor Wang Qiaonian. Our rebels have fought against Zuo Liangyu over the years.
How many times have Liangyu fought against him? He Jin! How could you underestimate Zuo Liangyu like this! He will definitely attack Nanshuimen mainly. The reserve troops cannot go to the North Gate. All of them will be transferred to me to Nanshuimen!"
He Jin's qualifications and prestige in the rebel army were not much lower than those of Li Zicheng. But Bai Wang actually called him by his name at this time. That kind of generous and high-spirited momentum immediately calmed He Jin. How many years has King Zuo Jin
I have never been looked down upon like this by others!
The tip of Bai Wang's nose almost touched He Jin's face. In desperation, He Jin could only take half a step back, lowered his voice and said softly:
"Lao Bai, don't be anxious, don't be too anxious. The war situation is tense now, and we must act more cautiously. You are always the most cautious person in doing things, why are you like this today? This is not good."
"There is nothing good or bad. The situation is very clear now. Zuo Zhen's naval attack force is obviously not at full strength. Why is Zuo Liangyu restraining his strength at this time? He is tightening his five fingers and holding his hand.
Clench your fists and I will give you a hard blow. If we are not prepared and things fail, we will be defeated at Nanshuimen."
Bai Wang pressed forward step by step, vowing not to give in. He Jin had known Bai Wang for a while, and he had never seen this little man with such a determined expression as he did today. He could only sigh and said:
"Okay, okay, okay, then I'll listen to you. I'll transfer all the Chinese troops to reinforce Nanshuimen."
While the two of them were talking, several more artillery shells hit the city wall. The intruders also fired immediately and returned the favor. The artillery battle between the two sides became more and more fierce. Lead was flying and iron was melting, jade was in ruins, and gravel was flying and covering the sky.
Block out the sun.
Seeing that King Zuo Jin had surrendered, Bai Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then please ask Helan to quickly lead troops to reinforce Nanshuimen."
He Jin waved his hand and said: "No need. Since you are so nervous, Lao Bai, I'll just lead the troops to reinforce you. I'll leave the Ximen side to you."
Without waiting for Bai Wang to answer, He Jin tossed his cloak and quickly walked down the city wall with He Lan and other troops. Bai Wang thought that He Jin was a veteran rebel commander who had experienced military service, and he and Liu Xiyao would help defend together.
At Nanshuimen, everything will be safe.
But not long after He Jin led his troops down the city wall, he changed direction. Helan was shocked and asked in confusion: "Old commander, aren't we going to South Water Gate? Why are we transferred to the north?"
King Zuo Jin's face is livid, Bai Wang's opinion is firm, is his opinion not firm? The north gate is crumbling, if we don't go to reinforce it now, if Suizhou is lost, you, Lao Bai, are Li Laiheng's confidant, don't worry about anything, I, King Zuo Jin are just strong
After joining the Chuang Army and suffering such a huge defeat soon, is there any way to gain a foothold?
"Lao Baikong is too old to be smart. Now the North Gate is about to fall. Liu Xiyao is there at the South Water Gate, which is as stable as Mount Tai. It's important that we go to reinforce the North Gate. Don't worry about Lao Bai's words. Come with me now.
!”
At this time, Bai Wang got He Jin's guarantee and thought that Nanshui Gate would be reinforced by King Zuo Jin, so there would be nothing to worry about. He focused all his energy on organizing the defense of Ximen. As the attack became more intense, there was no time for the siege.
Yu, are you going to distract yourself from King Zuo Jin again?
But it’s no wonder that He Jin is so worried about the gains and losses of the North Gate, because Zuo Liangyu is now personally in charge of the North Gate. This time, General Zuo has devoted all his remaining servants to attack the North Gate!
The North Gate and the South Water Gate are the farthest apart. Zuo Liangyu wanted to create the illusion that Pingthief Town was all-in on the North Gate at all costs to create the only opportunity for Jin Shenghuan.
As soon as He Jin's reinforcements arrived at the north gate, new blood was immediately injected into the shaky and unsustainable front line. The resistance increased greatly, and dozens of left army servants who had rushed to the top of the city were instantly pushed down the city.
But Zuo Liangyu did not feel sad for the loss of his servant. Instead, his eyes lit up. He concluded that the reserve force of the Suizhou garrison had been mobilized.
"The way to use troops is to show them with softness and meet them with strength, show them with weakness and take advantage of them with strength, respond with restraint and tension, show the enemy's desire to the west and show it to the east." Vice-President of Zuozhen
Li Guoying, a soldier, admired him and said, "The general uses his troops like a god. He attacks in the east and attacks in the west. I control all his rebellions."
Zuo Liangyu stroked his beard and hummed twice. He wanted to send a general to inform Jin Shenghuan to launch a general attack. His eyes first stayed on the face of his son Zuo Mengeng. But Zuo Liangyu thought of Zuo Mengeng's previous poor performance.
Not daring to risk all his wealth, he finally handed over the task to long-distance runner Ma Jinzhong.
"Go and inform Hu Chen that the navy will launch a general attack!"
