Chapter 812 Assault on Jingzhou
Sun Ce led less than 30,000 remaining elite troops to retreat to the riverside, boarded the ship under the cover of crossbowmen on the ship, and then drove away from the river bank. Zhang Liao led his army to chase the riverside, and could only sigh at the river. At this moment, the scout came to report, "General, the urgent flying pigeon from Jingzhou passed the letter!" As he said that, the scout presented a short note with both hands. Zhang Liao frowned, took the short note from the scout, and read it quickly, his face changed. "General," he said.
Army, what's wrong?" Wen Pin asked anxiously. Zhang Liao frowned and said, "Huang Gai from Jiangdong led tens of thousands of naval troops to raid Jingzhou!" Wen Pin was shocked when he heard this, "What's the situation now?" "Fortunately, Gao Shun discovered Huang Gai's troops in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!" Then he ordered, "Wen Pin, you lead 20,000 troops to defend this place, and the rest of the troops will follow me to help Jingzhou!" "Yes!" Wen Pin agreed with his fists.
At the same time, Huang Gai was leading 30,000 naval troops to attack the city of Jingzhou. At this moment, there were only 10,000 defenders in Jingzhou City, and a considerable number of them were the former Jingzhou Army that surrendered.
The sound of war drums rumbling, and the navy under Huang Gai attacked the East City Wall along the simple cloud ladder, and they were very brave. The Qin army desperately threw stones and woods into the city, and arrows flew down one after another. Sun Jian's army, who were shot by arrows, fell one after another. Many people rolled down from the cloud ladder, and a huge wood suddenly fell into the surging soldiers under the city. A bloody rain immediately began, and several Sun Jian's soldiers were smashed to pieces on the spot.
The violent blow from the city wall did not stop Sun Jian's army's pace. The soldiers on both sides inevitably fell into a fierce hand-to-hand battle on the top of the city. The soldiers on both sides roared and desperately slashed the weapons in their hands towards each other, with blood raining everywhere.
Gao Shun, who was in charge of city defense, kept throwing the reserve team into the bloody battle at the city. However, the reserve team that was thrown into the pond was like a stone thrown into a pool, and after a stir, it disappeared without a trace.
Just as the Qin army and Sun Jianjun were fighting to the death on the city, an alarm suddenly came from the direction of the Xicheng City, and a 5,000-man Sun Jianjun suddenly launched a raid on the Xicheng Wall. Gao Shun, who was commanding the battle at the East City Gate, was shocked, and at the same time felt helpless. All the Qin army's strength had been put into the East City Headquarters.
Gao Shun made up his mind and raised his sword to lead a hundred personal soldiers to join the battle. Gao Shun hoped to repel the enemy in front of him as soon as possible and then deal with the enemy in the west. However, although Gao Shun's leading and leading greatly inspired the morale of the soldiers, the enemy's tenacity was particularly strong. Although the front line retreated step by step under the fierce counterattack of the Qin army, he firmly defended the bridgehead position on the top of the city, which made the Qin army unable to repel Sun Jian's army for a long time.
Five thousand Sun Jian's army carried a simple cloud ladder and rushed to the city wall with sparse arrows, quickly set up the cloud ladder, bit the ring-headed sword and climbed up quickly. Hundreds of defenders tried their best to stop it, but due to the huge difference in force, Sun Jian's army climbed to the top of the city after a moment. The soldiers of both sides immediately started a hand-to-hand combat.
Amid the thrilling screams and screams, the number of Qin troops decreased rapidly, and more and more Sun Jian's troops rushed to the city.
Seeing that the West City Gate was about to be lost, Gao Shun could not escape at the East City Gate. Suddenly, thousands of people dressed in the costumes of the people appeared under the city gate. One of the two leaders was Wen Qin and the other was his daughter Wen Yuan. Wen Yuan was wearing soft armor at the moment, and the weapon she used was actually a long-handled sword! A moving beauty was waving a big sword that was much bigger than herself. The scene was really eye-catching!!
The two led everyone to rush up the city wall along the ladder on the inner wall and started a war with Sun Jian's army, who was attacking the remnants of the Qin army. Sun Jian's army suddenly was counterattacked by thousands of civilian troops, and couldn't help but feel a little panicked, but soon calmed down. A group of troops continued to attack the Qin army, while most of them attacked Wen Qin and Wen Yuan and his daughter. These civilian troops were Wen Qin and Wen Yuan temporarily collected them. When Wen Yuan got the news that Sun Jian's army was about to attack the city, they looked for it in a hurry.
When he arrived at his father, he explained his intention. His father Wen Qin agreed very much. He immediately went to the homes of several merchants who had been close to him to explain his purpose. The merchants generously handed over their homes to Wen Qin. Wen Qin then gathered a group of refugees in the city and gathered nearly 4,000 people. Just when Wen Qin and Wen Yuan were about to lead the temporary civilian army to reinforce the east city gate, he suddenly received news of the critical momentum of the Xicheng Gate, so the two immediately led the nearly 4,000 civilian army to the Xicheng Gate.
At the beginning, these thousands of civilian troops were able to compete with Sun Jian's army on the top of the city. However, as time went by, the spirit of these civilian troops quickly subsided, and the front continued to retreat under the strong force of Sun Jian's army. Fortunately, Wen Qin and Wen Yuan fought hard to prevent the situation from worsening further.
After fighting for several quarters of an hour, both sides paid a heavy price. The civilian army was on the verge of collapse. Sun Jian's army became more and more brave and continued to launch fierce offensives. Wen Qin and Wen Yuan were both covered in blood, but they were still fighting hard. Wen Yuan waved the big sword that was bigger than him, and shouted repeatedly. There was no general in his hand. He was very brave. The soldiers of Sun Jian's army around him had no previous contempt. Everyone was full of energy to deal with the stunning beauty with a beautiful appearance and the inner inner beast.
The civilian army finally collapsed under the fierce attack of Sun Ce's army. Wen Qin and Wen Yuan tried their best to stop it, but the people who were determined to escape were not something that both of them could stop. Sun Geng shouted loudly and took advantage of the opportunity to cover up the killing. Thousands of civilian army were killed sobbing that they were sobbing and howling in a mess.
Wen Qin and Wen Yuan were surrounded by a group of people, and the father and daughter were panting. Looking at Sun Jianjun around, they couldn't help but feel a hint of despair. At this moment, a group of people rushed towards the city wall. The leading general was Gao Shun. It turned out that Gao Shun and others finally defeated Sun Jianjun, who was attacking the East City Gate.
Nearly two thousand blood-covered soldiers yelled to join the battlefield, and immediately defeated Sun Jian's army, who was caught off guard, and after a bloody battle, they finally repelled the surprise Sun Jian's army.
Gao Shun came to Wen Qin and his daughter, and clasped his fists solemnly and said, "Thank you two! If you hadn't taken action in time, the consequences would be unimaginable! But I don't know the names of the two of you who are honored."
Wen Qin replied with a greeting, "Wen Qin is just a businessman in Jingzhou City."
"Businessman!" Gao Shun showed a rather surprised expression.
"That's right." Wen Qin pointed at Wen Yuan and introduced: "This is a little girl, just a single name is a Yuan."
Gao Shun turned his gaze to Wen Yuan and was stunned for a moment. The big knife that Wen Yuan carried on her shoulder was really eye-catching. After coming back to her senses, Gao Shun said with emotion: "I didn't expect that there would be a female hero in the world who can compete with the Queen and Miss Sun!"
Wen Yuan couldn't help but say, "I really want to meet your queen!" Since she was misunderstood by the soldiers of the First Legion that day, she has been paying attention to the queen's deeds and is becoming more and more curious about the queen.
"Yuan'er, don't be rude!" Wen Qin scolded, then clasped his fists at Gao Shun with a shame and said, "God, General, I'm so kind of a girl!"
Gao Shun laughed indifferently, "Miss Wen Yuan is really similar to our queen!" Then he asked Wen Qin in surprise and said, "I think my husband is good at martial arts, but why don't he serve my Daqin?"
Wen Qin couldn't help but sigh, "I don't want to. But one of the captains of the army submitted a letter to recommend the book and there was no further text."
Gao Shun suddenly realized and smiled: "The officers at the level of the lieutenant level do not have the right to directly recommend talents to Your Majesty. Their recommendation books will be summarized in the Legion Department, and then screened by the Chinese military documents. Those who meet the requirements will be inspected by the lieutenant sent by the Legion Department, and the information of the outstanding ones will be submitted to Your Majesty. Since the Legion Department receives a lot of recommendations each time, the process will be very slow! But I can recommend Mr. to Your Majesty myself!"
