"My lord, General Deng Xia was seriously injured by the enemy generals Yue Lun and Xiao Mohe! Wu Qi's attack was too fierce, General Zu Ti can't hold on for too long!" Wang Ba rushed to Liu Xiu, not even bothering to catch his breath. In one breath, he quickly reported the situation in Xicheng to Liu Xiu.
At this moment, Xicheng continued to expand its advantage under the strong attack of two fierce generals headed by Yue Lun and Xiao Mohe. In terms of using troops, the generals headed by Zu Ti were really no match for Wu Qi.
The commander-in-chief can't compare, the generals can't compare, and the troops can't compare with the strength. If there is no strong support there, it will only be a matter of time before the city wall falls completely.
"What's going on with Nancheng and Dongcheng?" Liu Xiu asked quickly.
"Although the enemy generals Chang Yuchun and Qin Qiong are attacking fiercely, there is no serious problem!" A general replied quickly.
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. That's good. Although the situation in North City and West City is in a mess, at least South City and East City can still be stable.
"Send the order and quickly dispatch three thousand troops from the east city to support the western aid!" Liu Xiu quickly gave the order.
Although, theoretically speaking, it will definitely be faster to mobilize troops from the South City Gate to the West City Gate, and the speed of support will definitely be faster when the time comes. But the south city gate was where Liu Xiu and Zhu Yuanzhang's retreat was. There must be no problems in this place.
Otherwise, if they want to leave next time, it will probably be even more difficult.
"Report, my lord, something bad has happened. Li Cunxiao has climbed onto the city wall! Two generals, Su Jue and Yongqiang, died in battle."
They had just managed to deal with the last problem, but suddenly, another piece of shocking news hit Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Xiu.
"How is that possible?" Yang Su even said in surprise!
Once a master like Li Cunxiao is allowed to climb the city wall, it will be too difficult to drive him off. By then, with Li Cunxiao's cover, there will likely be a steady stream of Jin troops scaling the city wall.
Therefore, they have always been very accurate in keeping an eye on the fierce generals headed by Li Cunxiao, especially Li Cunxiao. Just for him alone, they arranged for eight hundred crossbowmen to keep an eye on them, and among these eight hundred crossbowmen, there were three more Hundreds of people holding powerful crossbows.
Once Li Cunxiao's figure appears on the battlefield, these 800 people will immediately dispatch, shooting only at Li Cunxiao alone, and never let Li Cunxiao have any chance to get close to the city wall.
In fact, this is what most of the princes in the world do to target these fierce generals, setting aside a certain amount of firepower in advance just to target such a person or a few people to prevent them from being accidentally climbed onto the city wall.
However, although the coalition forces had enough manpower to target Li Cunxiao, the city wall was already in such chaos that the pre-prepared crossbowmen could not arrive in time. In the end, Li Cunxiao found an opportunity and boarded the city. The city wall.
When Yong Qiang and Su Jue, who happened to be nearby, discovered Li Cunxiao's figure, their first thought was to escape.
When the Southern Barbarians were not conquered by Liu Che, these two men were staunch enemies of the Han faction. However, unlike Meng Huo's purely anti-Han faction, Yongqiang and Su Jue's father and son advocated absorbing the strengths of the Han people, strengthening themselves, and achieving the goal of defeating the Han people.
Even after the Southern Barbarians were recaptured by Liu Che, father and son Yong Qiang and Su Jue only expressed their dissatisfaction. It was just a helpless choice forced by the situation. They had no real loyalty to Liu Che at all.
Not to mention, they are not fighting for Liu Che at all, but for Liu Xiu. It is even more impossible for Yongqiang and Su Jue to fight for this meaningless battle for them. life.
His own family knew what he was capable of. Although Yong Qiang thought he had some strength, he was not stupid enough to think he could compare with Li Cunxiao. Facing the rumored miraculous Li Cunxiao, they simply couldn't think of any idea of confronting him head-on.
However, even if these two people wanted to run away, they had to be able to escape from Li Cunxiao's hands. Although Yong Qiang has superb strength, it is a pity that he has not recovered from his injuries.
Although Su Jue can be said to be ruthless and resourceful, at this time, he obviously considers physical strength rather than mental strength.
Let alone Su Jue, at this time, even Zhang Liang's intelligence would be useless in front of Li Cunxiao. As long as he doesn't give the other party a chance to speak, it's just a matter of one blow, and Li Cunxiao doesn't even need to make a second move.
Therefore, before the two men could run a few steps, they were overtaken by Li Cunxiao on the spot and killed with two casual moves. It was almost the same as killing a chicken.
"My lord, you can't do anything. I hope your lord will make a quick decision!" Yao Guangxiao was the first to react to the news and quickly warned Zhu Yuanzhang.
If Li Cunxiao was the only one to climb the city wall, they could use the strength of other generals to collectively drive Li Cunxiao off the city wall.
Alternatively, Lu Er can be used to temporarily restrain Li Cunxiao. As long as they kill all the Jin troops on the city wall in time, Li Cunxiao alone will not be able to cause any big waves. When the time comes, he will have to retreat on his own initiative.
No matter how powerful a general is, it is impossible to defeat a large army by himself. Xiang Yu, who was almost killed by them, has fully proved this problem.
However, now that there are Jin troops everywhere on the city wall, and there is also an elite Beiwei army, they simply cannot do this. Therefore, they could not drive Li Cunxiao off the city wall anymore.
Although the Beiwei Army is not often used as Yue Fei's signature, it will inevitably play a key role whenever it is time to activate them.
Moreover, this is not the first time that their coalition has dealt with the Beiwei Army. When they faced this elite force before, they had never taken advantage.
It is precisely because of these issues that at this moment, in Yao Guangxiao's view, the fall of Jiangling has become a foregone conclusion.
If Zhu Yuanzhang and the others want to continue to drive the Jin army off the city wall, they may not be able to do so even if they exhaust all their troops. Rather than doing this, it is better to withdraw the troops as soon as possible at this time.
After all, they can't waste all their troops here meaninglessly. If Zhu Yuanzhang and the others want to really leave Jiangling, they will still have a breakout battle to fight.
The Jin army was besieging the city on all sides this time. If they wanted to escape, they would have to break through Chang Yuchun's army at the south gate. And if you want to do this, you must retain enough troops in your hands.
