Since even the Song clan did not expect that the Shuanglong Army of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling would abandon the south and head north, and also conduct a sudden march, then Shen Faxing, Li Zitong and others naturally could not have expected it!

Originally, they all thought that the Ssangyong Army would cooperate with the Song Clan to attack Lin Shihong's Chu State. After all, Lin Shihong was assassinated and the Chu State was in chaos. This was a golden opportunity for both the Ssangyong Army and the Song Clan.

In fact, forces such as Shen Faxing and Li Zitong were ready to sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.

Then, they planned to wait until March and May, when the Song clan, Shuanglong Army and Chu State were exhausted from fighting, and then find a suitable opportunity to sneak attack Yuhang County, the base of Shuanglong Army, and give Zheng

The Ssangyong Army, which is growing rapidly, will take a step back and give Ssangyong a disastrous start?

But no idea...

What Li Zitong and Shen Faxing couldn't figure out was that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were like crazy. They left the Chu Kingdom's large land in the south of the Yangtze River untouched, but instead attacked it after Kou Zhong returned.

The next day, he sent troops directly to their north?

then!

Caught off guard, Shen Faxing, who was closest to Yuhang County of the Ssangyong Army and was originally the defeated general of the Ssangyong Army, immediately suffered a big loss!

Especially after seeing the Ssangyong Army's machine-powered aircraft that could fly into the sky and drop fire oil cans for the first time, they didn't have any countermeasures. After the military camps and important towns and cities were burned down several times, they collapsed immediately.

Thousands of miles away, not to mention important places along the canal, even the city of Changzhou was lost. And Shen Faxing was beaten by Kou Zhong so much that he fled to the east coast in a panic. He didn't know what the current situation was.

After Shen Faxing's territory was lost one after another, and after it was discovered that Shen Faxing's army had been routed thousands of miles away and even important places such as Changzhou that had been in operation for many years were lost, he saw that the Shuangyong Army was difficult to deal with and was very energetic, so he had no choice but to

Li Zitong's army voluntarily abandoned Danyang and retreated to Zhenjiang.

that's all!

When Xu Ziling, who had won many battles, was ordered to hurriedly lead an army of the Shuanglong Army to capture Danyang without a fight and then continue to march north, preparing to capture Zhenjiang City in one go, what he saw was that General Qin Wenchao under Li Zitong had already arrived in advance.

After making preparations, he managed the towering city as solid as a hedgehog, with the flags and armor in full order and an astonishing attitude.

At this time, only ten days had passed since the Ssangyong Army launched a surprise attack.

"Oops..."

"Then Qin Wenchao is worthy of being a general under Li Zitong, yet he is so cunning!"

"Even the drawbridge at the city gate was burned..."

"Young Marshal!"

"It seems that Wu Jun has understood that their advantage in Jiangnan is not as good as ours, so they simply made preparations to hold on for a long time?"

"look!"

"They also set up iron locks on the river to block the river, and they set it up in the east direction. This is clearly to block our Yuhang Navy, and they are determined to guard Zhenjiang, which is the nail in our south of the Yangtze River!"

At this time, on a high ground outside Zhenjiang City, through the thick fog in the early morning, I could see the defense situation of Zhenjiang City, the iron cables on the river, and the huge ships and troop transports of the Wu Kingdom passing by.

He couldn't help but sigh, and became worried about the upcoming siege.

Obviously, from the posture of the defenders, it can be seen that Qin Wenchao, the general under Li Zitong of Wu State, does not intend to fight with their Shuanglong Army in the field, but is preparing to stick to Zhenjiang, and then rely on Wu State's naval superiority to back the river.

Defend, repel or even defeat their Double Dragon Army?

What's terrible is that their Double Dragon Army has been marching for many days and rushed all the way from Yuhang. They rely on the fierceness they hold in their hearts and the morale of winning consecutive battles. Although the soldiers have no problems at the moment, the fact is

Shangxu Xingzhi also knows that hunger, exhaustion and the uneasiness of long-distance attacks have already troubled everyone. If Zhenjiang cannot be captured as soon as possible, once the situation changes, I am afraid that the offensive and defensive positions will change, and those who want to run will have to be replaced.

It's their Double Dragon Army.

"..."

Of course Xu Ziling, who was silent, also noticed it.

However, as the marshal of the Ssangyong Army and the head coach of the siege of Zhenjiang City, he did not show it. He just watched the generals in front of his forward camp not far away constantly boosting morale and inspiring in front of the assembled formation.

The fighting will of the soldiers, watching them make various preparations before attacking the city.

For example, the craftsmen who accompanied the army were using newly cut wood to assemble wells, ladders, ferry equipment, wooden curtains, rams, and catapults of various sizes, etc.

Under the standard ruler of Senior Lu Miaozi, various standard accessories were quickly manufactured and quickly assembled by the craftsmen of the carpenter battalion. Then, those offensive weapons that might take several days to be prepared in the armies of other forces were

City equipment, their Ssangyong Army was already quite large in just one night.

Of course, those woods have not undergone any drying treatment, so they are definitely not durable and not beautiful. However, considering that those things are used for sieges and are not made of high-precision wooden aircraft, Xu Ziling is not too concerned about it.

Care too much.

While the craftsmen battalion of the Shuanglong Army were working hard to prepare siege equipment, a large number of archers and crossbowmen also began to disperse at various heights on the battlefield outside the city, setting up camps and assembling arrow towers one by one, preparing for the attack.

After giving the signal, attack the city wall from a long distance and support the infantry's assault on the city.

Although it was summer and autumn at this time, the dew was still heavy. After a night of running and busy, most of the Ssangyong Army soldiers were soaked to the skin. However, their steps were still firm, their eyes were bright, and they gritted their teeth resolutely.

, showing no fear at all.

"Everyone!"

"Whether it's a nail or not..."

"This battle is of great importance, we must pull it out as soon as possible!"

"Let's go!"

After finishing speaking, after looking at the general situation of Zhenjiang City's defense, Xu Ziling waved his riding whip, took the lead in riding down the high ground and rushed towards his own front army camp in front of the city gate.

As the morning fog dissipated, the scene inside Zhenjiang City gradually became clearer.

However, the towering city wall and the tightly closed city gate were obstacles that the Shuanglong Army could not get around no matter what. Looking at the towering city wall, Xu Ziling could not help but feel a little uneasy.

Because he knew that this battle would be the biggest test in the raid of their Double Dragon Army. It would be easy to win, but if they could not win the city in front of them, it would be a disaster!

"Send the order!"

"Prepare to attack the city!"

Soon, when Xu Ziling, Xu Xingzhi and other generals rode their horses to the front of the formation, and saw that most of the preparations of the soldiers were in place, he shouted loudly.

The siege of the city will not be possible in a day or two, especially when the Wu army defenders in front of them have prepared their troops in advance.

Therefore, Xu Ziling planned to conduct a test first to see the specific situation of the defenders before making the next decision.

"Here!

"

"The young commander has an order!"

"Prepare to attack the city!

"

"The young commander has an order!"

"Prepare to attack the city!

!”

"The young commander has an order..."

"Prepare……"

Just like that, as the herald held the flag high and galloped toward his own formations in the distance and shouted instructions, the front line of the Ssangyong Army, which had already arrived and had been prepared for a long time, began to move slowly.

stand up.

After hearing the order, the soldiers responded one after another and began to work together to slowly shout slogans and push forward the siege equipment such as rams, wells and ladders.

Although they seemed to be in a hurry, everyone could see that they still maintained a high fighting spirit and were not affected by the defensive posture of the defenders.

"..."

Seeing that the army was making final preparations, Xu Ziling didn't say much. He just stood under the banner in front of the formation with a group of generals and counselors and began to wait anxiously.

finally!

Nearly half an hour later, when all the siege equipment was in attack position, when groups of soldiers set up their formations, when the archers and crossbowmen camps on the left and right were all in place, we saw the soldiers in uniform.

Jia Jia waited in unison. Xu Ziling finally looked up at the sky and found that the weather was good today and there would be no such bad situation. He thought about it. Although he was still a little anxious and hesitant, he still waved and decided to launch it first.

Take a look at the attack.

"!

"

"Send the order!"

"The whole army attacks the city!

!”

Following the instruction of Marshal Xu Ziling, the flag bearer not far away began to wave the flag vigorously. At the same time, the huge war drum was officially beaten hard and excitedly by a muscular man.

Winter! Winter!

Winter! Winter! Winter!

"!

"

"attack!

!”

"Kill ah ah ah!"
