Chapter 283
Damn it, who did you provoke?
Got shot even while lying down? This was Chu Yunteng's only thought before he fainted.
After Chu Baole was shocked, Tang Yu looked at Li Jing and said, "General Li, without further ado, let your people put on Chu costumes and we rush to Jizhou City!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Li Jing responded respectfully.
Not long after, Li Jing's 100,000 soldiers changed into the uniforms of Dachu soldiers. More than 20,000 subordinates who originally belonged to Tang Long also changed their clothes. Under the leadership of Tang Yu and Li Jing, nearly 130,000 troops quickly moved towards Jizhou City. Go.
At this moment, on the wall of Jizhou City.
Guardsman He Yuan squinted his eyes and said: "I don't know how the battle is going on the front line. I hope Lord Marquis and the others can annihilate the defenders in Yangzhou City in one fell swoop!"
"No, General He, something bad has happened. Tang Yu, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, dug up the Jinjiang River and released the floods from the Jinjiang River. All of our hundreds of thousands of Chu troops were hit by the flood, causing countless casualties!" At this time, a man The spy ran over in a panic.
"What?"
Hearing the news, He Yuan felt as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue, and he was completely stunned.
Remember https://m in one second.
"General He, look, many of our soldiers have escaped!"
Just when He Yuan was horrified, a defender on the top of the city pointed forward and shouted.
He Yuan looked up, and he was shocked to find dozens of soldiers wearing Chu army uniforms running towards Jizhou City in a hurry.
He Yuan said in disbelief: "Quickly, grab someone for me. I don't believe it. I don't believe that Lord Marquis and his hundreds of thousands of troops have been flooded!"
"Yes, General He!" a defender shouted immediately.
Within a few minutes, a middle-aged man was brought to He Yuan by two defenders.
He Yuan asked in a deep voice: "Jingzhou City was lost? Lord Marquis and others were flooded?"
"General He, it's over. I'm done with Chu. Just now, the Marquis personally led the army to attack Yangzhou City. Who could have expected that the army met Tang Yu, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, halfway through. He took advantage of the heavy rain these days to dig up the Jinjiang River. , the river is rushing towards us, and I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of our soldiers will be drowned alive by the flood!" The middle-aged man said with a sad face.
He Yuan was extremely shocked and said: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
"General He, I am the captain of ten thousand men under General Ye Yuanhong. I did not leave the city today. My task is to garrison Jingzhou City to prevent the Tang army from coming to harass me. I was standing on the city wall at that time. I saw the endless floods with my own eyes. Come on!"
"The flood was too great. As we all know, the walls of Jingzhou City are impregnable. With just one encounter, the flood collapsed the walls of Jingzhou City. If I hadn't been good at water and escaped in time, I would have died in the hands of the Tang army. !” The middle-aged man burst into tears.
"how so?"
He Yuan's face turned extremely pale when he learned that Da Chu's hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated.
Before He Yuan came to his senses, a soldier said in shock: "General He, look, there are many defeated troops, many defeated troops fleeing towards Jizhou City! Do we want to open the city gate?"
"Did I, Da Chu, really lose this battle?"
He Yuan couldn't believe this fact at all. He looked forward and saw a dark mass of "Chu troops" wearing the uniforms of Chu soldiers escaping over.
"General He, do you want to open the city gate?" the soldier asked again.
He Yuan took a deep breath and said with deep eyes: "If we don't open the city gate for the time being, there will be too many defeated troops. What if there are spies of the Tang Dynasty hidden among the defeated troops?"
"Yes, General He!" the soldier responded.
At this moment, seeing the gate of Jizhou City closed, Tang Yu secretly screamed that it was bad.
Sure enough, as Chu Baole and Li Jing said, He Yuan, the defender of Jizhou City, is a thoughtful master. It may not be that easy for them to pretend to be deserters and enter Jizhou City.
Arriving at the foot of Jizhou City, Li Jing stepped forward and shouted: "General He, we are under General Ye Yuanhong. The front line is completely defeated. Let the brothers in quickly! The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are chasing behind. If we are caught up by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, we will But it’s all over!”
"Oh? Are you Ye Yuanhong's subordinate? How come I have never seen you before? Also, what is your military number? Are you in the military but do you have any position? What is the code number for the usual night watchers?" He Yuan shouted loudly.
"This..." Li Jing was stunned.
He really didn't know these secrets about the Chu army.
