As Gan Ning expected, at the beginning of the storming of the city, Jiang Jin suffered hardship. Although the earthwork shooting platform was built outside the city, it could only suppress most of the arrow rain at the head of the city, but it could not provide cover when the infantry attacked the city. The moat, which was far beyond the specifications of Caiyang City, was like a nightmare, crossing before the northern foot soldiers, marking life and death.

The construction of the pontoon bridge was not smooth, the soldiers could not approach to the city fifty steps to build the pontoon bridge, often the earthen pocket was just thrown on the shore, the soldiers were shot to death by the strong crossbow in the city, the red morning light reflected the corpses lying outside the city, and the blood flowed into a small river on the bank, mooring.

Obviously, although the stone cannons smashed down the city gate, they did not kill the defenders, the morale of the defenders was still high, and the command and dispatch were not wrong.

This is dangerous north of the city.

As for the east and west of the city, the offensive had not yet begun, but Jiang Jin's mind that was carried away by anger had cooled down due to the huge casualties, and he left hundreds of corpses on the bank of the moat in the north of the city, and the Yan besieging army sent an order to Sanmen to stop the attack and continue the siege.

"The Liangzhou cavalry outside Deng County was attacked by Wen Ping at night and was defeated?" It sounds like the Jingzhou soldiers in Deng County seem to be more ferocious than Gan Ning in Caiyang, and in the blink of an eye, they relied on foot soldiers to defeat two thousand Liangzhou soldiers. Bad news came one after another, Jiang Jin asked according to the case: "Cai Yang's Wen, where is Wen Ping now!" ”

Zhang Xiu's generals looked at each other, even the defeated Hu Che'er didn't know where Wen Ping was, Zhang Xiugang wanted to say something to excuse his subordinates, but saw Jiang Jin wave his hand violently and crossed the Liangzhou soldiers, pointing to the herald outside the tent and saying: "Tell Hu Cai Li Le, besiege Deng County, and send troops immediately!" ”

"General Zhang, I will leave my troops to besiege Deng County, and you will send cavalry to ambush and pursue the enemy scouts on the main transportation routes, okay?" Jiang Jin was tossed by his heart this night and had no temper, and he didn't even want to blame Hu Che'er for the defeat, "Today's responsibility lies with Jiang, if you don't attack, you won't attack, but the brothers have to think of a way, how can you take down this city and slaughter all the enemy generals!" ”

"The sooner the better!"

Jiang Jin didn't want to wait for a moment, although he knew that there was a long siege behind, he really didn't want to wait. He sent troops east from Sizhou a little later than Lu Yi went south to Qingzhou, but it was about the same as Zhang Liaonan's crossing of the river. At the beginning, there were only more than 20,000 soldiers, and there were only tens of thousands of horses and horses in the subsequent reinforcements; Zhang Liao had fewer soldiers at the beginning, and stayed in Yanzhou alone for half a year, which turned the world upside down.

Now Zhang Liao has broken through Yanzhou, Lu Yi has broken through Qingzhou, and even Zhao Yun has returned to Jizhou to marry a wife and have a baby, and he Jiang Jin has more people than all the ministries, and he is still wandering in Nanyang County.

Is it appropriate?

Before attacking the city, Jiang Jin thought that he was not in a hurry, not in a hurry, and could not use the lives of his soldiers to fight for his merits. But after the siege of the city, it is not the case, which one who leads the troops to fight outside does not have the habit of being competitive, if he wins, he is not in a hurry, he is not in a hurry, and if he loses the battle under Caiyang City, where can he be calm.

The heart of tearing down the city wall is gone!

"If the general hopes to capture the city, he has a plan." Jia Xu pulled Zhang Xiu, and then hugged his fist at Jiang Jin and said: "The water storage dam opens up the river, the terrain of Caiyang is quite low, if it can be irrigated with water, the earth ramming city wall will not last long, but it is just ......"

Needless to say, Jiang Jin continued: "It's just that the fields outside the city are broken, and the fields are not important, but there is a backlog of boats on the Chushui River that want to move to the north, and many people will die." ”

Not to mention a lot of people, too many.

Together, the frustration ordered Sizhou not to let go, and tens of thousands of people in Jingbei were backlogged, and now they are either hiding outside the counties of Nanyang as displaced people or blocked in the river, and there are people on both sides of the upstream and downstream. Although Jiang Jin is sometimes quite confused, he can still distinguish between right and wrong, and it is not a big deal to destroy the fields before him, but if tens of thousands of people are drowned?

Yanbei must not chop him alive!

Don't say that Jiang Jin doesn't dare, no one dares at this juncture. Going into battle to kill the enemy is naturally a meritorious service, but you can release water to drown the people? Yanbei wants to be the king and hegemon, or even go further, who dares to do such a thing at this juncture, it is indispensable to be borrowed to deter the whole army.

Mixed up with this, who can not know this truth.

"This definitely won't work, and then think of some other ways to build a pontoon bridge, send the ladder to the city, and half of the city will be taken!"

There was no more fighting during the day, except for the occasional bombardment of the defenders of the city by Jiang Jin's slings and the earthwork archers, as a result of disturbing them, the soldiers and horses returned to the state of siege. It's just that the siege of the city is not without gain, taking this opportunity, Jiang Jin's soldiers and horses surrounded the city on all sides, especially in the south of Caiyang, which is the same as the water in the water.

After all, Jia Xu's words reminded Jiang Jin that as long as he guarded the south of the city, he would be able to control the water source, and if he mastered the water source, he would master the ability to counter the city when there was no other way.

Jiang Jin hung his head and rode more than 100 times with the east in the evening.

"General, there is a cavalry from the east, and his subordinates can't stop him......" The scout didn't finish his words, and the next few horsemen had already Shi Shiran beating horses, and the first one was open jaw, and he smiled after more than a dozen steps: "Does General Jiang still want to stop Zhang Mou, but he is here to give gifts to the army!" ”

"Zhang Junyi? What are you doing when you don't come to Jingzhou in Yuzhou, watching Jiang someone's jokes? Jiang Jin turned his head away and said angrily: "I have tens of thousands of rice buckets here, and there is no shortage of soldiers!" ”

Jiang Jin's words caused Zhang Jaw to laugh on the horse, turned over and looked left and right, looking at several familiar generals such as Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu greeting him, and then asked Jiang Jin: "The siege is blocked?" I heard that General Jiang only has five stone cannons under his command, and I am afraid that he will not be able to smash this city. General Gao defeated Cao Chun in Yanzhou, and the Cao army has a tiger and leopard cavalry, all of which are heavily armored, General Jiang will not be impressed, right? It's useless to be tempted, Zhang has been sent back to Zhao State, and it won't be long before Liaodong can also make a vest. What Zhang wants to say is not this, General Jiang, is there a shortage of stone artillery? ”

"You have a stone cannon?" Jiang Jin took two quick steps abruptly and asked eagerly, "How many stone cannons do you have?" ”

Zhang Jaw smiled at Jiang Jin's anxious appearance, and said with a smashing mouth: "Zhang Wenyuan's subordinates in Yuzhou have more than 150 stone cannons, and General Gao expected that even if I was equipped with stone cannons, it would not be my turn to attack the city, so I asked the troops to send them ...... Fifty-six stone cannons were on the back road, Zhang was thirsty from a long journey, so he begged for saliva in the pioneer camp, General Jiang, do you have water? ”

"Hahaha!" For Jiang Jin, it was like rain falling from the sky, and he immediately looked up to the sky and laughed, pulled his jaw and said: "Quick, General Zhang quickly enter the camp, water, Jiang has it, but the only thing missing is the stone cannon!" In this way, Cai Yang City can be broken in a moment! ”
