Chapter 958: The 2nd Army Rushes to the Rescue

New information continued to come in, and Huang Gai and the others also felt that Zhang Yu's purpose was to occupy Poyang Lake.

Both Huang Gai and Jiang Qin felt that the matter was serious. If Poyang Lake was lost, then Sun Ce would lose a foot.

The value of Poyang Lake is extremely high. After several years of development, it produces a lot every year.

"It will take a few days for the Lord's news to come. We must first ensure that the important cities here will not be lost, and the rest will be discussed after the arrival of support." Huang Gai said.

The two decided to support the city of Lujiang County. As long as the city of Lujiang County is not lost, they still have a chance to recover all the lost land.

Huang Gai and Jiang Qin gave up attacking Chao County. They also knew that there would definitely not be a small number of defenders in Chao County, and they would not be able to defeat them in the short term.

In fact, what they don't know is that even if they fight off 100,000 troops, they probably have little chance of taking down Chao County.

There are tens of thousands of troops in Chao County, and it is an important military town, where a large amount of food is stored. How could Guo Jia have no arrangements for Chao County.

Huang Gai and the other two tidied up the army and left without hesitation. Although they lost thousands of soldiers and horses, they also proved many things.

The two led the army to the south, one was the forward and the other was the rear guard, and they dared not be careless.

When they left, Ling Cao and Guo Jia also parted ways.

Guo Jia took 100,000 troops, 20,000 Jiangdong soldiers and 80,000 Fusang troops, and headed towards the county.

Ling Cao continued to lead the army to attack the city going south.

Now Jiangdong soldiers and horses are attacking from all directions and blooming everywhere. Because they came so suddenly, Sun Ce's side has not fully figured out what Zhang Yu and the others are going to do.

Zhang Yu's army started preparations very early, with concentrated forces and clear goals.

At this moment, Zhu Zhi was not in a good mood. On the third day, Zhang Yu's army was still attacking frantically.

Maintaining such a high-intensity offensive is unbearable for the average army.

Not only are there huge casualties, but the soldiers are also very tired and morale will be deeply affected.

However, Zhu Zhi encountered it this time. From the third day onwards, his archers were almost exhausted.

Some improvised archers are no match for Jiangdong archers,

It didn't take long to fall into a disadvantage.

Zhu Zhi had to order the soldiers to pay attention to defense and dare not continue to fight.

It was originally estimated that Jiangdong's soldiers and horses would be weakened after suffering huge casualties, but it turned out not to be.

Even though Jiangdong's army suffered huge casualties, they still maintained a high-intensity offensive.

Zhu Zhi changed his strategy, paid attention to casualties, and defended carefully.

It was a very tough day.

Jiangdong's soldiers and horses rushed up the city wall several times, but they were all driven down again.

This time the casualties on both sides were evened out again, and both sides paid a price of more than 5,000 people.

At night, several teenagers got together again.

"Just received an order from the military division. They will arrive in another day. We need to continue to maintain a high-intensity offensive for another day."

"One day, now that the army is exhausted and the casualties are so high, morale has been affected."

"Tomorrow a few of us will personally lead the attack, otherwise the army will not be able to maintain its current state."

"That's the only way, for the sake of the lord, for the people of Jiangdong, we will fight."

"Fight."

Several teenagers rekindled their passion.

Zhu Zhi also lined up troops in the city, and the three-day high-intensity battle made their army very unstable.

"Tomorrow, Jiangdong's army will not be able to maintain such a high-intensity offensive. We will replace half of the defenders with family guards, so that our army can take a good rest." Zhu Zhi said.

In the second half of the day, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses showed signs of decline, and their morale was not so strong.

All the generals agreed with Zhu Zhi's proposal, the fight for these three days was really hard.

After the military meeting, everyone dispersed.

This night, both sides regained their strength.

Huang Gai and the others rushed south to support, while Guo Jia and the others were on their way day and night.

On the fourth day of the siege, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses came to the city again.

Zhu Zhi was on the top of the city early, his face was serious, and his eyes were fixed on the city.

Several young generals arrived at each station, and the archers also lined up.

"Brothers, come rush with me later to open up the territory for the Lord."

"For the sake of the lord, kill."

"Jiangdong soldiers and horses are invincible, and we will break through this city today."

"Let the enemy tremble."

The young general is cheering up, which is very necessary and can make the soldiers burn with enthusiasm.

The army swept away their exhaustion and howled again, ready to kill.

"kill."

Altogether, right from the beginning, the army rushed up again like a tide, as if they were about to use waves to slap the city away.

"How is it possible that it is even more violent than the previous three days."

Zhu Zhi didn't understand what kind of army this was and why it was so brave.

This is the fourth day, and Zhu Zhi even suspected that they secretly replaced the army last night.

In fact, however, they did not replace it.

Several young generals took turns leading people to attack, and once attacked the top of the city, and even the top of the city was occupied by them for a while.

Zhu Zhi urgently dispatched the main force, and personally led people to drive Jiangdong's soldiers and horses down.

This time he didn't dare to use the servants of the aristocratic family to defend, so he brought up their army again.

The battle that day was extremely fierce, with both sides fighting on the top of the city.

This Lujiang County seems to be on the verge of collapse, as if it will be breached in the next moment.

However, the army in the city still had the strength to fight back. Under the leadership of several generals, they drove back Jiangdong's soldiers and horses.

This battle was extremely tragic, Jiangdong soldiers and horses lost more than 7,800 people, and three young generals died in battle.

And Zhu Zhi's soldiers and horses were not much better, and more than 7,000 people died in battle.

Both sides are suffering huge casualties.

Zhu Zhi had no choice but to ask for help all the time.

At night, in Jiangdong's military camp, a sad atmosphere permeated the air.

This battle was fierce, and there were heavy casualties. Three young generals who led people to attack the city wall died in battle.

The army was adjusted immediately, and some young generals were promoted to temporarily fill vacant positions, and the army also needed to be temporarily reorganized.

"According to the order of the military division, tomorrow we will rest and adjust the army, and there will be a bloody battle later."

"The casualties are too great this time, but if we can capture Lujiang County, the sacrifice will be worth it."

"My lord needs to make a breakthrough, lay out the overall situation, entrust this important task to us, and give us such great trust, we must complete the task."

"Our army has always only rushed forward. As long as the order is given, it will never retreat unless it dies."

Several teenagers reached a consensus.

At this time, Guo Jia had already moved to the surrounding area, with 100,000 soldiers and horses marching in a hurry, they rushed to the area around Lujiang County ahead of Huang Gai and the others.

"Huang Gai, as long as we eat your 100,000 troops, we will have a huge advantage in Yangzhou."

The purpose of Guo Jia is not only a city, but the most important thing is to destroy the enemy's army. Only by destroying the enemy's army can a greater victory be achieved. To read books on this site, please use the latest domain name
