The Qingshui Shui Gate creaked open, and the huge iron fences were lifted one after another. The wide water gate on the north side of Caishi City slowly opened a passage. Countless charge boats had been put down on the navy warships on the Yangtze River. One by one, Chen Jun jumped onto the boat, picked up the slurry and rushed towards Caishi City.

On the battlefield in the south city, the Wu army was attacking like a tide. Although Caishi received 20,000 reinforcements, he had already fought two battles outside the city. At this time, he retreated into the city to defend his life. Although the number of troops reached 20,000, the equipment for defending the city in the city had long been exhausted. Li Chengyi's 20,000 reinforcements marched all the way, and two more battles outside the city were fighting. At this time, the quiver was empty and the gunpowder was exhausted. The 20,000 troops defended the city, relying on the spear and the sword in his hands, and the battle was not retreating.

The Wu army had 80,000 people. At this time, facing Caishi City, which had been breached once, there was no scruple at all. The entire army was divided into three groups, east, south and west, and attacked at the same time. Countless siege ladders were put on the top of the city one after another. One Wu army after another gathered like ants, trying hard to climb towards the top of the city.

"The first one to rush to the top of the city will be rewarded with a hundred taels!"

"Those who take down Xu Shiji's head will be rewarded with a thousand taels!"

The rewards were released one after another, which stimulated the morale of the Wu army to the peak. Especially Shan Xiongxin's Zhennan Army suffered such a huge loss before, and at this time the siege was extremely hard, as if he wanted to avenge his previous shame.

The Wu army attacked the city from three sides and relied on its strong military strength to launch an uninterrupted wheel tactic. One by one, one by one, and took turns to attack, without giving the defenders a rest.

In the afternoon, the offensive and defensive battles had reached a height of heat. The defenders on the city had almost exhausted all their equipment, and the Wu army under the city had already cut down trees at this time. Under the desperate efforts of the craftsmen, they had created hundreds of siege equipment, catapults, ladders, rushing cars, siege rams, trestles, and large shields!

With the addition of this batch of siege equipment, the Wu army's offensive became even more fierce. Under the long-range suppression of catapults and bows, the defenders on the city were completely suppressed. Countless Wu soldiers took the opportunity to siege the city desperately. In the afternoon, the south gate of the outer city was first to be captured.

The city gate was knocked open by a huge iron-capped siege. The Wu army, who had been waiting beside him, immediately rushed in with a large shield like a tide.

At this time, the 20,000 defenders in the city also suffered heavy casualties. At this time, nearly 10,000 casualties were left, and there were only more than 10,000 people who could fight, and they had to defend three cities at the same time. Faced with the influx of Wu army, they could only retreat step by step.

At this point, it is indeed a bit over the end.

"Retreat to the inner city!" Xu Shiji ordered helplessly.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo----"

At this moment, the sound of horns suddenly came from the direction of the Yangtze River in the north of the city. The sound was exciting.

"Report! General Chen Shan, the governor of Anhui, led 5,000 Liyang defenders, and the Fourth Squadron of the Anlan Fleet of the Yangtze River Navy, had crossed the river!" In the chaos, a messenger rushed to the top of the city and reported loudly.

"What? Governor Chen Shan has arrived? OK. OK, God helps me!" Xu Shiji heard that reinforcements arrived. Although not many of them came, since Chen Shan, the Anhui governor, had arrived, the army led by the emperor himself was probably not far away.

"Come here, blowing horns and drums, and the whole army counterattacked, followed me to take back the Nancheng!" Xu Shiji waved his sword and roared, took the lead in going down the city to get on the horse, and rushed towards the Nancheng Gate. Immediately, thousands of infantry soldiers immediately shouted and rushed to the Nancheng Gate. Many injured soldiers resting under the city also carried weapons and killed the Dahou.

Outside the south city gate, Sun Shihan, who was happily preparing to ride a horse into the city, suddenly discovered that his subordinates who were originally advancing suddenly retreated step by step and were constantly pushed out of the south city gate.

As if confirming his thoughts, a huge roar suddenly broke out from the south city gate: "Long live Pojun!" Then the Wu army was knocked out at a faster speed. In a moment, a huge Chen-shaped banner was inserted back into the south city gate.

"Report!" A horse rushed over.

"Report to the general, I found that there were a large number of warships on the surface of the Yangtze River! The warships have already docked, and a large number of Chen troops have landed in the city!"

"Damn it!" Chen Guoren cursed angrily when he heard the sound. "How many Chen army reinforcements have arrived?"

"It's estimated that more than 10,000!"

"Is it more than ten thousand?" Sun Shihan on the other side stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "The total number of Chen troops in the Jiangbei and Huainan area is only 50,000. Chen Feng had already led 20,000 people across the river and seized Jingkou. The brothers Li Chengyi and Li Chengli led 20,000 people from Caishi to cross the river. In short, there are only 10,000 people left in Jiangbei and Huainan area. Now it seems that they have fought their lives and sent all their troops across the river. This is fine, and they can be wiped out in one fell swoop. When we fight across the river, we can completely recover the Huainian area without any trouble. General Chen, General Shan, fight, let's fight with them here!"

Chen Guoren and Sun Shihan both nodded. The battle reached this point, and there was no retreat. No matter how many reinforcements were, they could only continue.

The drums rumbling, and the Chen army received a new support. It was because of its strong morale and the opportunity to counterattack. However, the Wu army also relied on the large number of people and did not intend to stop, and wanted to break through Caishi in one fell swoop. Both sides were completely red, one counterattacked and the other attacked fiercely.

Chen Shan led 5,000 reinforcements to the arrival of Caishi, but did not improve the situation of Caishi's battle. On the contrary, because of Chen Shan's arrival, the Wu army's offensive was strengthened in an all-round way.

From afternoon to sunset, from dusk to late night!

Fighting at night with fire, never stopping!

At Caishi City, nearly 100,000 troops fought for a whole day and night. The blood had already dyed the city walls and the earth red, and the corpses were piled up like mountains and blood flowed like rivers.

The corpses under the city were piled up into a small hill, reducing the city walls a little.

The outer city where the quarry was already broken again. Not only that, the inner city has also fallen under the accumulation of lives of countless soldiers.

By this time, less than 8,000 defenders in the city were left, and they could only retreat in the small inner castle to resist. However, the tall and sturdy castle had been damaged in many places, and several places had been destroyed. If Chen Jun had not blocked the gap again with his life, Caishi would have fallen several times.

The Wu army had not stopped the attack yet, and still had a wave of fierce attacks, giving Chen Jun no time to rest.

One or two nights, Chen Jun stayed asleep and didn't even have time to take a sip of water. He was completely on the verge of collapse.

"General, have a drink of porridge!" A team officer with a broken arm and injured one eye was directing a group of wounded soldiers who were also seriously injured to carry several buckets of porridge to the city wall.

Xu Shiji grinned with his chapped lips and smiled bitterly.

"Leave it to your brothers, and you have worked hard for you."

"Are General Xu worried that Your Majesty's reinforcements would not arrive in time?" Chen Kedi strode forward, scooped a large bowl of porridge and drank it all in one sip. He let out a long sigh and smiled.

Xu Shiji looked at the north direction of the Yangtze River without saying anything.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty will arrive soon. When you arrive in Liyang, you have to mobilize your ships to cross the river. Otherwise, you probably should have arrived."

Xu Shiji sighed: "But the quarry has been lost. Even if Your Majesty comes to help, I am afraid that I will not be able to reach the shore by then."

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a loud noise, and then a burst of colorful colors suddenly burst out from the dark night sky. A huge flower of flame bloomed in the sky. It was so charming.

"It's Your Majesty, Your Majesty has arrived!"

Many Chen Jun officers in the city were already screaming. This kind of fireworks is so beautiful. In the world, only Chen Jun can master this thing, and only Chen Jun likes to use fireworks as signals.

Xu Shiji stood up, breathed a long sigh, looked around the people around him, and shouted: "Everyone, the reinforcements have arrived, and it was Your Majesty who personally led a hundred thousand troops to help!" When he said this, he smiled and wanted to pretend to be calm, but his tone trembled involuntarily.

There was silence, silent.

When the soldiers finally reacted, they burst into a frenzy cheer. The good news spread throughout the quarry castle within less than half a quarter of an hour. The hungry and cold soldiers were all so excited that they burst into tears.

This is not only because they have hope of being rescued, but also because they are more moved.

They never expected that it was His Majesty the Emperor who personally led the army to aid. At this moment, all the defenders felt a great excitement. They fought bloody battles and they were trapped in a siege, but the court did not forget them, nor did the emperor forget them.

"Draw three thousand elite soldiers who dare to fight and follow me to the north city to welcome Your Majesty to land!" Chen Kedi plucked his sword in his hand and shouted loudly. Suddenly, countless soldiers responded, and everyone rushed to welcome Your Majesty. He wanted to sweep out a landing beach for His Majesty.

At the same time, the Wu army generals, who had completely occupied the two internal and external walls, also learned about the arrival of Chen's reinforcements as soon as possible.

"Report! Countless warships were found crossing the river on the surface of the river, and they are less than two miles away from the south bank!"

"Report! Thousands of warships are large and small, including hundreds of large warships!"

"Report! I found that the enemy's flagship was Chen Kefu's Huanglong Banner!"

"Report! At present, at least eighteen battalions have been discovered, all of which are elite camps of Chen's army with hundreds of battles!"

One report after another came, which immediately stunned Shan Xiongxin, Chen Guoren, Sun Shihan and others.

"Impossible! Huanglong Banner? Do you want to tell me that Chen Kefu was here?" Chen Guoren's first reaction was that this was not true. A few days ago, I heard that Chen Kefu was still supervising the battle in Taiyuan, so how could he bring so many soldiers to Jiangbei all at once? And even if Chen Kefu really came, he wouldn't be able to bring so many soldiers at once. Where did he get his soldiers? There is no soldier or soldiers in Jiangbei and Huainan. This is impossible.

Shan Xiongxin also said with a serious expression: "Thousands of warships, even if there are only three hundred large warships, it is equivalent to all the warships of the Anlan fleet of the Chen Army's Yangtze River Navy. But from our news, Chen Kefu's 100,000 naval forces have already been divided into various places, and the Chen Army Navy in Jiangbei only has one squadron left. How could he suddenly transfer the entire fleet to our noses? We don't know yet?"

"Can it be Chen Jun's false trick? They made some broken boats and then set up a big flag to scare us away?" Sun Shihan hesitated. Although he himself thought the possibility was too small, he still said it.

The three generals looked at each other, full of suspicion, and no one wanted to believe that Chen Kefu really brought the troops to this critical moment.

Because except for Chen Kefu who is really good at calculating, how could he leave the 400,000 Turkic cavalry in the north and run to the south instead? You should know that a few days ago, the situation in Jiangnan was still Chen Jun’s victory after victory.

But what he is facing is a legendary person like Chen Kefu, but no one dares to be careless. No one dares to guarantee that Chen Kefu will not come. You know, Chen Kefu is the person who is the most unreasonable person in the eyes of the world. When everyone could not imagine that he would become independent in Liaodong so soon, he had his troops to stand up.

When everyone could not imagine that he would come with the Turks, he and the Turks would be forced.

Therefore, although Chen Kefu cannot come south in the current situation, no one can really guarantee that Chen Kefu will not come.

"Divid 30,000 troops to guard the inner city walls and gates. Fence the Chen army in the third inner castle. In addition, the remaining 30,000 troops were immediately gathered and immediately arranged troops on the Caishiji Rock to prevent the Chen army from landing. Regardless of whether the person who came was Chen Kefu or not, we cannot let them land. Everyone, the task assigned to us by His Highness the Regent is to seize the quarry and prevent the enemy from Jiangbei. We must not bear heavy responsibilities!"

"yes!"

Shan Xiongxin wrote an urgent letter to Shen Luoyan himself. After reporting the latest situation here, he immediately led more than 30,000 troops and horses mobilized quickly set up defenses on the Yangtze River north of Caishi City.

Yijiangbei City lined up with more than 30,000 troops were waiting for battle.

Shan Xiongxin looked at the river, but saw the wide Yangtze River, and sparks were indeed dotted. Warships were densely spread on the river. Thousands of sails competed and tens of thousands of ships were launched. For a moment, the river was cut off.

Horse-rejecting, fence, four-corner nails, moat ditch...

One line of defense after another was laid out, and most of the defense had been there for a long time. At this time, it was just to strengthen the troops stationed. Soon, eighteen lines of defense had been laid out continuously on the North Bank. Not to mention that it was as solid as a matter of solidity, but in the eyes of Shan Xiongxin and others, it was not easy for Chen Jun to break.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

On the river surface, countless warships had already begun to stop when they were hundreds of steps away from the river bank. One by one, the war drums sounded, and lanterns rose and fell from time to time on the masts of each ship, and the ships quickly changed their formation according to the lights.

After a long time, the drums suddenly stopped and the horns closed. Apart from the endless sound of waves, the entire Yangtze River seemed to have quieted for a while.

This sudden silence made Wu Jun, who was waiting for him strictly on the north shore, feel panic.

This is like the tranquility before the storm. The quieter it is, the more it makes them feel that the next storm will become more violent.

"What are they doing? Why are all the warships connected together, lined up, and all of them cross the sides to us?"

"It's a bit strange. It seems that the side of the warships are equipped with weapons. They look like they are all large equipment. What are they doing? The distance is more than two miles, at least one thousand steps. Even the range of the crane crossbow is only more than seven hundred steps. What are they trying to do?"

Looking at the Chen army's naval warships lined up in a row two miles away on the Yangtze River, the Wu army's generals were stunned. At this distance, the Wu army on the shore had no rockets to attack the Chen army, but the Chen army's warships could not attack the Wu army either.

Thousands of steps away, above the surface of the Yangtze River.

On the Anlan, the largest warship in the middle of the battleship lined up, Chen Kefu was landing on the fifth-floor ship tower, looking at the other side.

In the tall Caishi City in the night, you can still see the Wu banner. Even with the help of the Qianli Mile Mile, Chen Kefu could clearly see the Wu soldiers walking back and forth on the city wall wearing red battle robes.

"Oh, did you still not hold on?"

Chen Kefu sighed, and after he speculated that the trap might have been laid by the falling geese, his heart was full of worries. Although he sent someone to send a message to Jiangdong and hurried south to help, it was still too late to see the situation.

Caishi City was finally in the fall, but I don’t know whether the defenders in Caishi City were encircled and annihilated or had already broken through.

However, no matter what kind of result it was, it could not stop him from his determination to climb Jiangdong. For Chen Kefu, although Hu Hai and his team's previous actions were wrong, no matter whether they were right or wrong, since it had happened, he would not just hold him accountable. No matter what, after the incident happened, it would be correct to find a way to solve the bad results, and to make things better as much as possible.
To be continued...
