Yongjia County was defeated and surrounded by the Jiangdong Army.
The soldiers who went to Yuzhang County to ask for help finally arrived at dusk the next day.
In order to arrive quickly, the soldiers even exhausted three fast horses.
When they arrived at Yuzhang County, the soldiers hurriedly explained their intentions to the soldiers guarding the city. The city gates opened and the soldiers were brought into Yuzhang County.
Lin Shihong, who was in Yuzhang County, learned about the situation in Yongjia County through the soldiers.
"The army moved at lightning speed just to quickly besiege Yongjia County?”
Lin Shihong exclaimed.
The situation was urgent, so he summoned Liu Yuanjing and Wu Tianxi to discuss a plan together.
"In Shen Fa Xing's direction, not only was Yongjia County attacked, the other counties were also attacked by the Jiangdong Army.”
Military Advisor Liu Yuanjing said in a deep voice.
Lin Shihong nodded slightly. It seemed that the Jiangdong Army must have sent out a lot of troops.
"This is a siege, forcing us to go to the rescue!”
Liu Yuanjing said with an ugly expression.
This was an open scheme, one that they were not even afraid of knowing.
Even if they knew, Liu Yuanjing and Lin Shihong had no choice but to send troops to rescue them.
If they didn't go to the rescue, once Shen Fa Xing was destroyed, their alliance would be easily broken by the Jiangdong Army.
Lin Shihong's expression was extremely gloomy. He had also seen through the clues.
"Even if the Jiangdong Army turns out in full force, I can still resist.”
Wu Tianxi said arrogantly.
"I have a plan."
After listening to Wu Tianxi's words, Liu Yuanjing suddenly had a plan in mind.
"Tell me quickly."
Lin Shihong urged.
After all, Shen Fa Xing was in a critical situation. The sooner he made up his mind, the sooner he could lead his troops to rescue him.
"Since the Jiangdong Army has come out in full force, there must not be many defenders in the direction of Jiankang. My lord can send Wu Tianxi to relieve the siege and lead a heavy army to attack Jiankang at the same time.”
Liu Yuanjing did not keep him in suspense and directly told him his plan in its entirety.
After hearing this, Lin Shihong lowered his head and began to think.
According to Liu Yuanjing's analysis, if they sent a large number of troops to attack Jiankang at this time, it was indeed very likely that they would take down Jiankang.
This was a two-pronged strategy. No matter which side won, it would be beneficial to Lin Shihong.
If he took down Jiankang, he would be able to occupy the base of the Jiangdong army, causing the morale of the Jiangdong army to be unstable.
If Wu Tianxi had saved Shen Faxing, it would have relieved him of a lot of pressure.
"Since they surrounded the city to attack reinforcements, we'll destroy their nest.”
After thinking through the plan, Lin Shihong was relieved.
"Wu Tianxi, lead 50,000 troops to Yongjia County to provide support.”
Lin Shihong ordered.
Since the Jiangdong Army planned to besiege the city, the number of troops sent to support them naturally could not be too small, or it would not be of any use.
"Yes, sir!"
Wu Tianxi was already full of fighting spirit. He directly stepped out to receive the military order.
After obtaining the commander's seal, he quickly led 50,000 troops from Yuzhang County and headed in the direction of Yuzhang County at lightning speed.
"Yuanjing, how should we attack Jiankang?”
Lin Shihong asked Liu Yuanjing after Wu Tianxi led his troops to reinforce him.
Attacking Jiankang could also put pressure on the Jiangdong Army. If they could take it down directly, it would naturally be a better thing.
"My lord can lead the cavalry, navy, and infantry from Yuzhang County to Xuancheng County, and then attack Jiankang from Xuancheng County.”
Liu Yuanjing quickly gave a relatively perfect marching route.
Taking the water route from Yuzhang County to Xuancheng County could save a lot of time compared to marching on land.
Furthermore, Xuancheng County was adjacent to Jiankang, so it was suitable to use it as a springboard to attack Jiankang.
By the time Wu Tianxi arrived at Yongjia County, Lin Shihong would have arrived at Jiankang.
"Alright, I will personally lead the troops this time. You will stay in Yuzhang and guard the other counties.”
Lin Shihong said in a deep voice.
This time, he planned to bring along 10,000 elite navy and 40,000 infantry, as well as 10,000 cavalry, for a total of 60,000 troops.
This was a lot of troops, at least compared to the troops left behind in Jiankang.
This was the truth. The 50,000 new soldiers were the main ones who stayed in Jiankang. New soldiers and veterans could not be treated the same.
Therefore, Lin Shihong with 40,000 troops had a chance to take down Jiankang.
"I accept your orders!"
Liu Yuanjing cupped his hands and shouted.
This battle was of great significance to the Jiangdong Army, but wasn't it the same for Lin Shihong?
After the strategic plan was finalized, Lin Shihong put on his armor and ordered the army to gather.
After the army gathered, he would set off from the waterway of Yuzhang County. This way, he could reach Xuancheng County the next day.
"This war concerns the situation in the south.”
Liu Yuanjing watched Lin Shihong's navy leave from the watchtower on the city wall.
His vision was quite good. Although it was not as far-sighted as Li Jing and the others, he knew the significance of this battle.
"I hope that my lord will return victorious and become the overlord of the south.”
Liu Yuanjing sighed.
After he watched Lin Shihong leave, he quickly set up defenses to prevent the Jiangdong Army from attacking.
......
Shen Faxing left the other two counties to Liang Sitai.
However, it was difficult for one person to defend two cities under Cao Yun's heavy army, especially when the news of Yongjia County being surrounded spread. Liang Sitai's morale was already in chaos.
"Build the ladder and attack the city."
Cao Yun immediately gave the order.
After the order was given, the Jiangdong army began to attack the city by force after shooting with bows and arrows.
The siege ladder was set up, and the soldiers began to climb it.
Arrows kept coming from the city walls, but they could not stop the Jiangdong Army from attacking the city.
"Kill them!"
Xiong Kuohai's killing intent rose, and he led the Jiangdong army to attack the city.
From Xiong Kuohai's bravery, he was the most suitable to be the vanguard general.
This kind of general talent was able to display the characteristics of his bravery.
He had the miraculous effect of breaking the enemy's formation and even damaging the morale of the enemy.
Liang Sitai knew that he couldn't hold on for long, so he had the idea of giving up on Sui 'an County and defending Dongyang County instead.
Just as he was determined to move and lead his army to attack from the back of the city, Li Jing's ambush was about to come into play.
Liang Sitai was one of the heroes of the Great Sui Dynasty, but in terms of strategy, he could not compare to the blessed Li Jing.
Li Jing had even thought of Liang Sitai's escape route. As long as he wanted to give up on Sui 'an County and defend Dongyang County to the death.
They would definitely fall into an ambush, causing their own army to become a pile of loose sand.
"It's over!"
When he saw the ambush, Liang Sitai cried out in grief.
Only now did he know that there was a reason for the rise of the Jiangdong Army. It was not because of luck that they had come this far.
This was a sharp blade, a blade that could easily slit the throat of any enemy!
"Kill them!"
The morale of the Jiangdong Army soared, and they began to encircle Liang Sitai's few remaining troops.
Even if Liang Sitai could escape to Dongyang County, the Jiangdong Army would be able to achieve their goal of depleting Shen Faxing's forces.
After exhausting the two counties 'forces, it would be time for them to attack the reinforcements.
