After hearing Gao Qiang's words, Zhong Xingyin stood up, paced back and forth, and thought hard.
Fan Jishe rolled his eyes and had no choice but to do the next best thing:
"Uncle, now that we have done this, there is no turning back. Only by winning can we regain the initiative, otherwise we will be controlled by others. If uncle is determined to attack Jinyang, he must fight quickly! But... Han Buxin and Wei Chi's soldiers and horses may kill them at any time, and we cannot just sit idly by and ignore them!"
"In my nephew's opinion, we can send another army directly to Jiangcheng! This may force Jiangcheng's army to turn back. Only in this way can we deter them!"
Gao Qiang heard this and said hurriedly:
"Lord, this is absolutely not allowed. Dividing troops is a taboo for military strategists. Moreover, attacking Jiangcheng is tantamount to being accused of treason..."
Fan Jishe said angrily:
"Gao Qiang! My uncle and I are discussing here, but you are always chattering there, so annoying! You have been doing your best in Jin for many years, but now that you are old, you are right It’s really inexplicable that I still hold on to my past affairs! You don’t have to say it anymore!”
When Gao Qiang heard this, he couldn't help but feel extremely sad and angry for a moment, burst into tears, and felt extremely aggrieved. But he could only remain silent, not daring to speak any more.
Zhong Xingyin glanced sideways at Gao Qiang, and then said:
"Well, there is no other way now. In this case, the wise nephew can lead Chao Ge's army to take Jiangcheng directly. If he can hold the king hostage, everything will be fine! If they cannot win, they can also be restrained from coming to Jinyang!"
"Send the order, Sima Ji Qin will rate Lu Hun's army to attack Jinyang, and we must capture it within two days!"
Fan Jishe said seriously:
"promise!"
Fan Jishe took the order and left, but saw Zhong Xingyin with his hands behind his back and looking at Jinyang...
The moat on Jinyang's side has been cut off by Bank of China's diversion and blocking methods, so now there is no drop of water in the moat.
However, there are all wells in the city, so there will not be a shortage of water because the river is cut off. However, without the protection of the moat, it would naturally be more convenient for Zhong Xingyin to attack Jinyang City.
At this time, Li Ran was still discussing with Zhao Yang about defending the city. It happened that at this time, an announcement was made at the city gate that the enemy was attacking again.
Since Zhao Yang entered Jinyang, he has always been wearing armor. At this moment, when he heard about the enemy's situation, he couldn't help but pick up the sword next to him.
"Sir, please wait here. Yang Yang will go to the meeting for a while!"
Li Ran ordered:
"The news coming from Jiangcheng is not good for Zhong Xingyin. He is very likely to be fighting a trapped beast. The general must not be careless. If it really doesn't work, you can act according to your plan!"
Zhao Yang smiled and said:
"Sir, please don't worry, Yang Yang will take care of himself!"
Zhao Yang hurried out and Li Ran watched him leave. Fan Li said at the side:
"Sir, Jinyang should be fine, right?"
Li Ran said calmly:
"Haha, you will be fine. Jinyang has been made so impregnable by Dong Anyu and Yin Duo that no matter how powerful Zhongxing Yin's troops are, there is nothing he can do!"
Fan Li couldn't help but said:
"It's a good thing that my husband has been strategizing for Zhao Zhongjun since he entered the Jin Dynasty. Otherwise, it's hard to say who will win and who will lose in this decisive battle!"
Li Ran couldn't help but stroke his beard, which was already graying, and said to Fan Li:
"Go and see how the battle is going, and report to me at any time."
Fan Li took the order and went to the city gate, where he found that everyone was working together to resist the Zhongxing clan's attack.
It seems that Zhongxingyin is determined to capture Jinyang this time. The noise outside was deafening.
After several attacks, some enemies climbed onto the wall, but were stabbed down one after another by the defenders.
Fan Li climbed up the tower again, picked up a shield scattered on the ground, and braved the stray arrows to get into it.
At this time, Yang Hu was seen wearing gray rhinoceros leather armor and holding a big sword. He kept shouting at the people around him to resist, and Zhao Yang was also watching the formation not far away.
He went further down the city and saw that the city was crowded with people. This was because Zhong Xingyin had already issued an order: first ascend to the tribe, reward a hundred households, and give him a first-level title!
As the saying goes, 'Under a heavy reward, there must be a brave man.' These Lu Hun soldiers are now fighting bravely to be the first, and the charging chariot has already reached the city gate and started to rush against the city gate.
However, the solid wood and several feet thick city gate is not so easy to defeat. After a series of continuous impacts, the people on the city tower immediately organized a counterattack. There was a burst of arrows and boulders, and there were many people below the city tower. He was beaten to death.
Those who used ladders or ropes to climb up the city wall also fell off one after another. Screams, shouts, and the sound of war drums were heard all the time, and Fan Li was also frightened by the sight.
This battle lasted for two hours. Although the Nakahang clan's army suffered heavy casualties, they still had no intention of retreating. They continued to swarm in like locusts, and they were covered in black clouds in an endless stream. I don't know when. Only then can we stop!
Seeing this, Zhao Yang also whispered a few words in Yang Hu's ear.
After receiving the order, Yang Hu handed the sword to the deputy general and left in a hurry. Not long after, Yang Hu came back to continue supervising the battle.
Fan Li watched the battle for a while and realized that the two sides were already at a stalemate. But in comparison, the ones with more casualties were naturally the Nakako clan who attacked the city.
However, after all, the Zhonghang clan relied on their strength in numbers and continued to put pressure on Jinyang.
Both sides know that as long as the city gate of Jinyang is breached. By then, no matter how brave Zhao Yang's men are, they will never be able to withstand this tide of enemies.
Fan Li saw this situation and was about to go back and report to Li Ran. Suddenly, I heard another roar in the distance, coming from behind the enemy formation!
Fan Li squinted his eyes and saw a stream of water, like a galloping horse, heading directly towards Jinyang. The force of its attack was so fierce that it even threatened to collapse the city tower as well!
The water flowed directly to the moat and poured into the already dry river bed. Although its impact has been reduced by half, it is still unbearable by the human body.
I saw that the flood washed them all to pieces, and even the chariots and rams were swept away.
It turns out that this is exactly the strategy Li Ran and Zhao Yang made, which is to use themselves to block the water channel of the moat, break its dam and divert water!
Zhong Xingyin was also affected by this wave of water at the rear almost at the same time. Seeing this situation, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops immediately!
Zhongxingyin's attack on the city was blocked, but Fan Jishe's Chaoge division was also extremely unsatisfactory.
He originally planned to make a surprise attack on Jiangcheng, but unexpectedly, Han Buxin and others had already discovered his whereabouts.
So Fan Jishe actually encountered the armies of Han Buxin and Wei Chi on the way!
And this encounter between them is about to break out!
