Chapter 694: Jiangling Crisis

Zhang Zhongjian never thought that defense was the best choice. Although he had never mentioned Li De as a person after the Zhang family spies collected news from Youzhou, he admired this very much.

The battlefield is to attack and defeat the enemy. This is what a man should do. He is not really stupid enough to prove himself through anything.

Preparing for a night attack was actually his tactic.

"General Zhang, do you really want to take people out of the city? The other party has 300,000 troops, and it is really too risky to leave the city rashly."

Xiao Xian was very opposed to this matter, so the two were discussing it. Obviously, Xiao Xian did not impress Zhang Zhongjian.

"If you can drive the enemy away and take risks, 50,000 soldiers and horses will be dispatched together. As long as you give the other party the impression that Jiangling has enough soldiers and horses dares to fight, don't forget that they will not choose to fight to the end in unknown circumstances. Don't you believe me?"

Zhang Zhongjian insisted repeatedly, and Xiao Xian pondered for a long time and finally agreed. Now there is no other way for him to come in. After all, Zhang Zhongjian is in charge of the troops.

Besides, now is facing a crisis. If he doesn't support him, he can't do anything, which may affect the cooperation between the two companies.

The moonlight hangs high, and the weather at night is not as good as the daytime. The dark clouds covered the moon's light can hardly play any role in light.

The Turkic soldiers and horses thirty miles away were not so cautious. They were too aware of the habits of the Sui army and horses, and it seemed that they were the safest inside the city wall.

If it were them, I believe they would choose to stay in the city.

They didn't know that Zhang Zhongjian had already come out of the city with his own troops, and they didn't have many cavalry, so it would make it easier for them to approach quietly.

"Do it!"

Zhang Zhongjian led the elite troops to start the attack first, and the entire Turkic camp began to gather. Just as they found the right target and started to act, they were attacked by a large number of troops in several directions.

While the Turks were dealing with it, a 100-man black-clad cavalry suddenly rushed into the camp and started setting fire. They used their sharp claws to hook the camp tent and then began to destroy with the help of horses.

In a short while, a large amount of food and grass were caused, and they also tried to attack areas with relatively concentrated food and grass.

But after all, the other party has too many people, and they have not succeeded.

When the Turks began to organize a counterattack, Zhang Zhongjian had already sent a signal of retreat, and then 50,000 troops quickly evacuated.

The road to retreat was not easy, after all, they had to face the cavalry and suffered a great loss. Fortunately, they acted at night, and the cavalry did not show much combat effectiveness in the end.

Zhang Zhongjian brought people back to the city, and after counting the damage to the war, he was also very surprised. A night attack caused more than 2,000 people to be damaged.

The fire thirty miles away continued until the morning because they did not have so much water to put out the fire, so they could only let the supplies be burned.

The Turkic generals are still confused. The soldiers of the Sui Kingdom were not like this before, so why were they defeated twice in a row?

Yesterday's losses were nothing to the supplies of 300,000 soldiers, but they were amazed by this courage and courage.

The Turkic soldiers were cleaning up the mess for a day, but they did not leave. The guards were strengthened around the garrison and the number of patrol cavalrymen was increased.

Zhang Zhongjian looked into the distance on the city wall and did not find the enemy for a day.

"General Zhang, it seems that the night attack has been successful. They should be leaving soon." Xiao Xian was already optimistic.

But Zhang Zhongjian was not that relaxed. His brows were frowning. Did yesterday's night attack succeed? They could not count the damage caused to the enemy.

According to his guess, the Turkic soldiers should retaliate against the city, and the current situation made him unable to understand.

"The enemy guarding Xiaocheng is still stationed thirty miles away, so you can't take it lightly." Zhang Zhongjian reminded.

His feeling was right. The Turkic general was really angry this time. They did not accept the continuous failures, so after the renovation they decided to attack the city.

On the morning of the third day, 300,000 enemy soldiers had already surrounded the city.

"General Zhang, see what should we do now." This was the first time Xiao Xian faced such a situation in person, and he was really panicked.

"Now I can only defend and resist their attack. This is the only way out now." Zhang Zhongjian said.

He has sent people to count the enemy's situation, and there are not many 300,000 troops, which shows that the number of people in the area was not reduced during the night attack.

When I think of this, I feel a little frustrated. Now I say nothing is useless, so I just look at this challenge.

His idea was not wrong. The Turkic general just couldn't erase his pride and had to attack the city with all his might, but it was within the range of casualties they could withstand.

For morale rather than really desperate.

"Arrowmen, don't let them get close to the city."

Zhang Zhongjian shouted that the Turkic cavalry were very fast and they carried the rushing wood. If they were asked to open the city gate and wait for them to destroy the city.

The soldiers guarding the city knew what was going on. Most of the people without bows and arrows were anxious. They could only use some stones to block them, but the other party was all cavalry and had no intention of being afraid of the city wall.

There were no stones in the ladder, and they were all used to greet the people rushing towards the door, but it was really hard to hit.

Zhang Zhongjian was also anxious and immediately arranged for people to guard the city gate and use the sea of ​​people to fight against the gate.

"Stay."

"Bang!"

The door was still hit, and the entire door frame vibrated. Everyone behind the door tried hard. In fact, their blocking was useless.

Raising a few wooden stakes is more effective than they are so hard.

But no one will tell them.

"Bang!"

After another moment, the city gate frame vibrated even more, and a lot of dust had fallen from the border and stone walls.

"Bang!"

"Shoot, shoot arrow!"

"Stand up!" Zhang Zhongjian knew that the situation was not good, and he really couldn't do anything on the city wall.

"General Zhang, what can we do?" Xiao Xian knew that the situation was wrong, but out of scheming, he was not as panicked as he thought.

"Lord Xiao, take the people away quickly, and I will lead the soldiers to buy time for you."

Zhang Zhongjian is also a loyal person. He really has no covetousness towards Xiao Xian. Perhaps he can make the other party escape.

"General Zhang, let's go together." Although Xiao Xian said this, he was not stupid. If he hadn't been these Jiangling soldiers, he would still be the same wherever he went.

Is Wang Tu's dominance just now and he ended like this? He was really unwilling to accept it, but he was still a little careful. If Zhang Zhongjian could lead some troops away, they could make a comeback.

Zhang Zhongjian had no time to pay attention to him at this time. Anyway, it was not necessary for him to persuade him if he was not leaving or not.

No one can decide his fate for him.
