"What!"
The spies reported that the reinforcements sent by Jingzhou had been defeated by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, and Dong Xi was shocked.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that his first meeting with Sun He would be in such a situation.
The head was hung on a bamboo pole, and Sun He obviously refused to rest in peace.
When Dong Xi saw this scene, his eyes were about to burst.
It is clearly a provocation!
Dong Xi clenched his fist tightly, making a crunching sound.
He wished he could send his troops out of the city to fight Zhang Liao, but unfortunately for the sake of the overall situation, he couldn't.
"Yuan Dynasty, what happened?"
Ling Tong hurried over, but he had not received any specific news.
Dong Xi repeated it helplessly and worriedly. Ling Tongyi punched the city wall, leaving a bloody mark.
"Yuan Dynasty, you said you were waiting for reinforcements from Jingzhou, but now that the reinforcements have not arrived, they are gone. What do you think we should do next?"
Dong Xi's head was buzzing, and he endured anger and sadness and said: "Block the news and stick to Wancheng!"
The news that the reinforcements were defeated must not be spread.
After experiencing several defeats, the morale of Jingzhou soldiers was low and they might collapse at any time.
¡°If we hear this bad news again, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Reinforcements are on the way. Keep your achievements in mind and don't let your feet show off."
"Someone knows the importance."
Ling Tong felt aggrieved, but he was always the general in charge of the army, and he still had to bear what he should bear.
"Recruit Wancheng civilians to help defend the city." Dong Xi said coldly.
Wancheng is their last support and must not be lost.
"Good!"
Ling Tong clasped his fists.
In the following time, Ling Tong led his soldiers and forcibly recruited the strong men in the city.
Wancheng is a large city in Nanyang with a large population.
Within a few days, Ling Tong forcibly recruited more than 10,000 people. In addition to gathering the defeated troops from all directions, the number of garrison defenders in the city now reached 80,000.
Dong Xi spent all night making the equipment needed to defend the city, especially crossbows.
The two generals worked together to build Wancheng like an iron barrel.
Zhang Liao sent people to fight under the city, but failed for several days.
"Miscalculation."
Hearing Zhang Liao sigh, Gao Shun asked in confusion: "The defenders in the city are like trapped animals, why is General Zhang unhappy?"
"I shouldn't have defeated Sun He so quickly."
Gao Shun was stunned.
¡°If I had known that Sun He was so useless, I would have used him as bait.
It would be a good idea to besiege Sun He without attacking and to lure the defenders out of the city.
It¡¯s a pity that Sun He¡¯s head is almost stinking now.
Sometimes fighting is too brutal, which is not a good thing.
"How is the construction of the siege equipment going?" Zhang Liao asked with concern.
Yangzhou¡¯s craftsmen are number one in the world, and their efficiency is unparalleled.
¡°Hundreds of ladders have been built, but it still takes time to build wells, rams, and catapults.¡± Gao Shundao.
"too slow!"
Zhang Liao was dissatisfied.
"Actually, the problem lies in the wood. All the trees near Wancheng have been cut down. We, the sergeants, have to go far away to cut the wood."
"Send twice as many people. We will attack the city within three days."
"No!"
Gao Shun personally sent people to cut the trees and even used some horses for transportation.
After Dong Xi got the news, he made a quick decision:
"Our army is here to stay, but we can't lose our courage. Gongji, you lead three thousand sergeants to destroy the Yangzhou Army's logging."
"Good!"
Ling Tong led his army to set out at night, and when it was dark, they arrived at the lumber camp thirty miles away. It was almost dawn.
woo woo woo woo¡ª¡ª
The horn suddenly sounded!
"kill!"
There were shouts of killing.
Gao Shun was a very vigilant general. He jumped up on the bed and slept with his armor on.
"General, there is an enemy attack from the west!"
There are scouts coming to report.
"What is the enemy's strength?"
"About three thousand people."
"Follow me to meet the enemy!" Gao Shun said calmly.
The Yangzhou scouts are unparalleled in the world, and their rigorous character adds a lot of points to them.
Gao Shun believed the scout's judgment.
There were as many as 5,000 defenders in the temporary camp, so Gao Shun was not panicked at all.
"Gao Shun is here!"
Gao Shun shouted, and many soldiers gathered around and rushed towards the sound of fighting.
Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!
The two sides kept fighting, causing casualties to each other.
"superior!"
Gao Shun gave an order and all the elite troops came out.
Within a short time, Gao Shun repelled the enemy, but he vaguely felt something was wrong.
"No! Lumberyard!"
Gao Shun reacted and looked from a distance to see a blazing fire in the woods.
When he arrived with his army, the fire was unstoppable. He made a prompt decision to pursue the enemy.
"Haha! Gao Shun, you didn't expect that, did you?" Ling Tong laughed proudly.
He fought and retreated at the same time, and lost many loyal soldiers.
"You still want to go back to the city? It's better to save your life!" Gao Shun shouted.
Ling Tong gritted his teeth and roared at his subordinates:
"If you don't want to die, just run for me!"
Jingzhou soldiers ran wildly and were exhausted after a while.
"Ling Tong, where can you escape?"
Gao Shun commanded the troops and horses. When training, they had to carry heavy loads and move forward. It was like marching in a hurry tonight, but it was nothing.
"Hmph! If you have the guts, come after me!"
Ling Tong snorted coldly and said stubbornly: "If it weren't for my subordinates, I would have run away long ago!"
The remaining thousand soldiers all showed expressions of gratitude.
"General, please leave first and leave us alone!"
Ling Tong was riding a horse, and most of his followers were foot soldiers. He wanted to escape, but he had a wishful thinking.
"You all disperse and run away!"
Ling Tong gritted his teeth and issued the order, and then he galloped back to the city on horseback.
When the sky lit up, there were only a few dozen riders left around Ling Tong.
"Open the city gate!"
Seeing that it was Ling Tong, the defenders quickly opened the door, and Ling Tong climbed onto the tower covered in sweat.
He stood on the tower and looked from a distance. By noon, only a hundred soldiers and horses had gathered.
Ling Tong¡¯s heart was bleeding.
"Three thousand brothers left the city, but now only a hundred have returned. I, Ling Tong, have no face to face my father!"
Ling Tong burst into tears. During this period, he was under too much pressure.
My father died in battle, and various defeats followed.
¡°Why is public performance so bad?!¡±
After Dong Xi got the news of Ling Tong's return, he hurried over.
"Yuan Dynasty! Do you think I am incompetent?"
Ling Tong seemed to have lost confidence.
Dong Xi learned what happened and slapped him in the face.
Snapped!
There was a startling sound.
¡°It¡¯s not the time to be decadent yet, do you still want to avenge your father?¡±
"want!"
"Yes, this is the situation! If Zhang Liao wants to capture Wancheng, he must ask our brothers!"
In order to encourage Ling Tong, Dong Xi directly called him brother.
This move really worked, and Ling Tong regained his confidence.
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission! The final general has destroyed Zhang Liaojun's logging camp."
"good!"
Dong Xi said in a deep voice.
On the other side, Gao Shun is also counting his losses.
Um?
It seems like half a day¡¯s work is gone.
As for the casualties among the soldiers, they numbered only a hundred.
¡°Have you heard that we will make up for the lost wood today?¡±
"Yes!" the soldiers said in unison.
Gao Shun reported the matter to Zhang Liao, but Zhang Liao only gave an "understanding" instruction and didn't take it to heart at all.
