The soldiers of the Western Jin Dynasty were in this situation. There were wolves in front of them and tigers in the back. The three generals Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and Chu Ya were like hungry wolves hunting for prey, and they were fighting like crazy.
Lu Bu, Li Yuanba, and Qiu Feng were all unmatched. They were like tigers descending from the mountain with a rainbow of momentum. The weapons in their hands were like reaping blades. Wherever they passed, they struck mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
The generals of the Western Jin Dynasty never dreamed that they would suffer such heavy losses. They besieged the Chu army in Jiangling City for dozens of days. They thought they had run out of ammunition and food and were at the end of their rope, but they did not expect that their combat power would be so terrifying.
In just one cup of tea, the corpses of Western Jin soldiers were everywhere outside the East City. Blood was pouring out, and the flags fell to the ground and were soaked in a pool of blood.
Emperor Chu ordered his generals to escort the grain and grass into the city, and looked sideways at the military camp guarded by Western Jin enemy soldiers outside the city.
"Zilong, took away the military camp's food, grass and baggage, and burned everything else!"
Finished speaking.
The Emperor of Chu raised his halberd and rode his horse across the long street of Jiangling, heading straight for the west gate.
Zhuge Liang looked at Emperor Chu's retreating figure and said in a loud voice: "Generals, there is no need to worry about food and grass. We will immediately follow my emperor to meet the army outside the west gate."
at this time.
The army of the Western Jin Dynasty outside the east gate had already fled, and there was no danger at all. Most of the food and grass had entered the city. Zhuge Liang ordered the generals to go to the west gate. First, he was worried that Emperor Chu would be in danger during a fierce battle. Second, the enemy troops gathered outside the west gate. The generals could go there.
More chances of winning.
Lu Bu, Li Yuanba, Zhao Yun and others took the order and rushed towards the west gate with their generals. The mighty Chu army crossed the long street.
Under the dust, people in the city poured out and quickly stepped forward to help the Chu army transport grain trucks to the city.
Seeing the people coming to help, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liang said in unison: "It's true that those who have gained the right will get more help, while those who have lost the right will get less help!"
"Zifang, it seems that our Chu army has a high status in the hearts of the people. Our army will definitely win this battle!"
"Yes, if you win the hearts of the people, why worry about not being able to win the world?"
Zhang Liang's majestic voice sounded. Looking at the busy people, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Outside the west gate.
Zhou Yu and Dugu's generals fought fiercely with the allied forces. Most of the besieging soldiers had already joined the battlefield, and the Chu army was obviously at a disadvantage.
Under the crazy fighting, the Liang army, the Mongolian cavalry, and the soldiers of the Western Jin Dynasty became more and more brave as they fought, and they were obviously no weaker than the Chu army outside the city.
At this moment.
The Emperor of Chu led the iron eagle warriors and the white horse righteous soldiers to fight out. Shaoqing, Lu Bu, Li Yuanba, Zhao Yun, Qiu Feng and many other generals led their troops to kill. For a while, the Chu army once again had the upper hand.
Outside the north gate.
Bai Qi led his troops Yixin, Shanyue, Dongfang Heng, and Song Wuque led his troops out of the city. The Mongolian cavalry outside the city noticed that the city gate was open, and they all jumped on their horses, raised their guns, and pointed their strong bows and crossbows at Bai Qi and others.
"General, as you expected, the Mongolian cavalry outside the city have all gone to the west gate, and only these less than ten thousand people are guarding the barracks again. We took this opportunity to almost kill them and burn down the enemy barracks, so they could only order the retreat.
We can resolve the crisis in Jiangling."
Dongfang Heng spoke, Bai Qi glanced sideways at Song Wuque, smiled lightly and said: "General Song, it's time for the Iron Buddha Temple to come in handy."
"Ten thousand cavalry want to stop us, what a wishful thinking!"
Song Wuque waved his hand and saw thousands of iron pagodas clapped their horses forward in the army camp, approaching the Mongolian cavalry in a mighty manner.
"call out!"
"call out!"
"call out!"
The strong bow shot out in all directions, and the arrows were like locusts. They could hit the iron pagoda without having any effect on them. The fire was flying everywhere, and the war horses kept approaching.
The halberd in Bai Qi's hand crisscrossed the void, and the divine machine guard behind him galloped on horseback, quickly attacking the Mongolian cavalry.
The iron pagoda blocked all the arrows. The Mongolian cavalry, which had always been the strongest attack, was useless at this moment. Looking at the powerful Chu soldiers sweeping in front of them, they all slung their giant bows on the sides of their horses and held them tightly.
With a spear, the horse rushed forward.
The Mongolian iron cavalry had strong horses and well-equipped equipment. Since entering the land of the Western Jin Dynasty, they have been invincible and overwhelming. Looking at the attacking Chu army in front of them, they were fearless and did not take the Shenji Guards into their eyes at all.
"kill!"
"kill!"
Bai stood up and led his troops, his halberd penetrated the void, and clashed with the generals headed by the Mongolian army.
The melee began, and the two armies were locked together, fighting one after another. The white eyebrows were furrowed, and a solemn look appeared on the face.
"The combat power of the fifth-grade empire's armor cannot be underestimated."
A low murmur sounded, and he raised his arms with force, crushing the spear in front of him, and the lion on his crotch ran away wildly. The two of them went back and forth one after another, fighting fiercely for dozens of rounds, and the enemy general did not suffer a single defeat.
.
Sudden.
A burst of military drums sounded, the sound shook the sky. The Mongolian cavalry moved upon hearing the sound, fought and retreated, quickly exited the battle, and retreated in an orderly manner.
Looking at the Mongolian cavalry leaving in the dust, Bai Qi's deep and deep voice sounded: "What a powerful force. Compared with our Chu soldiers, there is still a difference."
The Mongolian cavalry withdrew, Bai Qi, and Song Wuque's generals returned to the city with their troops. While the fierce battle outside the west gate continued, Xiao Zhan discovered the existence of Emperor Chu and led his Netherworld cavalry to keep approaching him.
The sound of war drums came, and Xiao Zhan's cheeks turned angry. He looked unwilling and roared, ordering the Liang army to withdraw.
All of a sudden.
It was like the end of the world, with dust rising thousands of miles away, and the earth shaking and the mountains shaking. The Emperor of Chu did not order the army to pursue him, but instead ordered the generals to lead their troops back to Jiangling.
The army entered the city.
The generals followed Emperor Chu to the general's mansion. At this time, Bai Qi and others gathered in the meeting hall. At present, all the armies had arrived in Jiangling City, and only the Yang Family Army and the Yue Family Army had not arrived.
The troops of the Chu army reported the casualties of today's fierce battle. After hearing the reports from his soldiers, Emperor Chu's face became solemn.
In the battle at Xicheng alone, the Chu army suffered nearly 50,000 casualties, which is enough to show the strength of the Liang army and the Mongolian cavalry.
"Bai Qi, who is the commander-in-chief of the Mongolian cavalry armies?"
"Back to the emperor, Dong Zhuo is the commander-in-chief of the Mongolian cavalry armies. The three armies under his command are led by Liu Bei, Zhang Xiu, and Xu Rong respectively. In addition, there are dozens of strong generals under his command."
"Sure enough, there is something strange about the Mongolian army!"
"How could Dong Zhuo be the commander-in-chief? Temujin, Dong Zhuo, and Liu Bei are very important in history. It seems that the Mongol Empire cannot be underestimated. It will become the biggest enemy of Chu State."
Chu Feifan murmured to himself, and the doubts in his heart finally dissipated. He had found traces of Xu Rong outside the west gate before, and for a moment he thought the system had made a mistake.
Unexpectedly, when they returned to the war continent, Dong Zhuo actually became Temujin's general. This is indeed a bit incredible, but it is real.
"Bai Qi, Qu Bing, Zilong will first distribute food and grass to the soldiers of the three armies and the people in the city. Today, the coalition forces outside the city will withdraw their troops and they should not launch an attack too soon."
"Let the soldiers of the three armies rest for a day, and then go out of the city to meet the enemy at dawn tomorrow."
The Emperor of Chu asked the three armies to rest and have a good meal. He did not want the soldiers to die in battle and still be hungry. In addition, he wanted to discuss with Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liang, Bai Qi and others how to defeat the enemy. (To be continued)
