Chapter 271
"Why should we defend the city? There is wine, meat, and women in Yangzhou City. We might as well attack the city. Once we attack Yangzhou City, we will make a fortune!"
"Yes, yes! I don't know if Lord Marquis and others have captured Yangzhou City. I hope Lord Marquis can bring me some women after his triumphant return. This period of time is suffocating me to death!"
"The Marquis is very generous. When Yangzhou City is captured, not to mention a few women, even dozens of women will not be a problem. By then, I am afraid that your body will not be able to bear it, hahahaha..."
At this time, the five thousand defenders in Jingzhou City complained one after another. In their eyes, Da Chu had assembled an army of 600,000 to attack Yangzhou City. Even if Yangzhou City was guarded by Qin Mang, the protector general of the Tang Dynasty, it would only take a short time for Yangzhou City to fall. thing.
Rather than defending the city, these five thousand Chu troops hoped to go to the front line to attack Yangzhou City.
"Wait! Brothers, what is that? The Tang army?" Suddenly, a Chu soldier said in shock.
"Okay...it seems like it's really the Tang Dynasty army. What's going on? Aren't all the Tang Dynasty armies guarding the city?"
"No! The Tang army is coming to attack the city. Defend the enemy. Quick, defend the enemy!"
Noticing the arrival of Tang Yu with 50,000 troops, the 5,000 defenders in Jingzhou City all screamed in horror.
The general who defended the city looked horrified: "My dear, where did this Tang army come from? It looks like there are at least 50,000 people! No, we will definitely not be able to defend it with our strength. Hurry, go to the front line. Ask the Marquis for help!"
Remember https://m in one second.
"Yes, General!" A personal guard responded immediately.
Arriving at Jingzhou City, Tang Yu said to Meng Tian: "General Meng, we mainly rely on cavalry. The cavalry is not good at attacking the city. Later we will just show off and lead people to attack and kill two waves. As long as the Chu army goes If we retreat, we will retreat deep into Fengming Mountain as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Meng Tian responded, then waved his sword and said: "Brothers, follow me up and attack the city!"
"kill!!!"
When Meng Tian took the lead to attack Jingzhou City, a large number of soldiers followed closely behind.
"What? What did you say? Jingzhou City is being besieged by the Tang army?"
Not long after, Ye Yuanba, who was commanding the army in battle, received a request for help from Jingzhou City.
Ye Yuanba never dreamed that Datang would actually have an army outside and attack Jingzhou City while they were not paying attention.
"Yes, Lord Marquis, please go back for rescue!" A defender in Jingzhou City said hurriedly.
Ye Yuanba snorted coldly: "Nonsense! At most, we can capture Yangzhou City with one more charge. If we withdraw our troops at this time, wouldn't all our previous efforts be in vain?"
"Master Marquis, the opponent has at least 50,000 troops. There are only 5,000 defenders in Jingzhou City. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long!" the defender said again.
"Hold on, hold on!" Ye Yuanba was unwilling to withdraw his troops.
Ye Yuanhong said in a deep voice: "Yuanba, no, we must withdraw our troops. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince are both in Jingzhou City. If the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince's safety is in danger, even if we dispatch 600,000 troops this time, it will be of no avail and we can attack Yangzhou." The city is only a matter of time, protecting the safety of the two princes is the key!"
"well!"
When Ye Yuanba heard this, he sighed and said: "Second brother, if you do this, you can immediately return with your two hundred thousand troops for reinforcements, and I will lead the remaining soldiers to continue the attack on the city!"
"Okay!" Ye Yuanhong responded immediately.
Knowing that Jingzhou City was in trouble, Ye Yuanhong immediately led an army of 200,000 people towards Jingzhou City.
"Why did the Chu army withdraw so many people?"
"No...I don't know!"
The defenders of the Tang Dynasty, who were fighting bloody battles, looked overjoyed when they saw that the Chu army had withdrawn 200,000 men.
Qin Mang was a veteran on the battlefield. He breathed a sigh of relief and said: "His Royal Highness must be leading people to attack Jingzhou City. The Chu army's attention was diverted, so they withdrew part of the Chu army. The Chu army withdrew so many people. This It’s a good thing for us, soldiers, don’t hesitate, counterattack, quickly, counterattack!”
"Counterattack, charge!"
