Shen Faxing had no idea that Wu Tianxi's army had been defeated. He paced back and forth anxiously in the city, wondering why Lin Shihong's reinforcements had not arrived yet.
At this moment, there was a clamor outside the city. Shen Faxing's heart thumped. The Jiangdong Army had launched another siege!
He hurriedly put on his armor and walked out of the city.
As soon as he reached the top of the city wall, he saw the Jiangdong Army rush up like a flood.
Yongjia Prefecture's military strength had already suffered a blow. Now that the Jiangdong Army had suddenly launched a fierce attack, how could the Yongjia Army resist?
By the time Shen Faxing reached the city wall, the Jiangdong Army had already attacked.
The complete loss of Yongjia Prefecture was already something that could not be stopped.
The commander of the siege was Li Jing. The reinforcements led by Wu Tianxi had been destroyed, so the plan to surround the city and attack the reinforcements had come to an end.
Yongjia County could naturally be taken down. There was no need to use it as bait.
Shen Fa Xing's main force had been defeated, and the remaining counties had been taken down.
The Jiangdong Army quickly attacked the city wall and used a crushing aura to start a massacre against the Yongjia Army.
The Yongjia Army was in fear every day that the Jiangdong Army would attack at any time. At this time, they were already physically and mentally exhausted.
To them, dying in the hands of the Jiangdong Army might be a relief.
The battle was one-sided. In less than two hours, the Yongjia Army had either died or surrendered.
Shen Fa Xing was captured alive and brought to Cao Yun.
When Shen Faxing saw Cao Yun, he couldn't help but think that this handsome man with the appearance of an emperor was probably destined to be the ruler of the world.
People like them were just stepping stones for Cao Yun to reach the top.
"Shen Faxing has been destroyed. My lord needs to quickly take down Yuzhang and other places.”
Li Jing hurriedly suggested after taking down Yongjia County and other places.
Time was tight. Xiao Xi could take down the entire Jing state at any time. They needed to end the battle as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the current good situation would become someone else's wedding dress.
The army did not have any time to rest and directly embarked on the next step of the journey.
......
Outside Jiankang City.
Lin Shihong was about to start a siege when a soldier rushed over.
"Report, our navy has been completely annihilated!”
The soldier cupped his hands and half-knelt as he shouted.
Lin Shihong's expression changed drastically. He couldn't believe his ears.
The Yuzhang Navy was a navy that he had carefully nurtured. In terms of combat ability, they could compare to the Sui Navy.
The enemy's Jiangdong Navy actually had the ability to destroy his elite navy after a great battle with the famous general of the Sui Dynasty?
This made him both shocked and angry!
The navy was completely wiped out, which meant that all his hard work had been destroyed. The cost of training a navy was higher than that of a cavalry.
Even if he won this battle with the Jiangdong Army, he would still suffer a great loss.
"If we can take down Jiankang, then everything will be worth it.”
A thought suddenly appeared in Lin Shihong's mind.
He had originally planned to fight on two fronts, and if he could take down Jiankang, he would not force it. However, some changes had occurred.
The navy suffered heavy losses. Shen Faxing and Yuzhang Prefecture were threatened by the Jiangdong Army.
If they could take down Jiankang, not only could they reverse the situation, they could also obtain a large amount of money to nurture an elite navy.
With a thought, Lin Shihong's breathing quickened.
This meant that he was going to attack Jiankang. If it was a good thing to take it down, he would lose everything.
His palms were sweating, and his eyes were fixed on Jian Kang. At this moment, he was like a gambler.
However, he was not betting money, but his own life. This was a huge gamble!
"Attack!"
Letting out a long breath, Lin Shihong had made up his mind.
The Yuzhang army advanced towards Jiankang, and the army quickly approached the city. He decided to take Jiankang to make up for the losses in the war.
The army was approaching the city, and a gentle breeze blew. The tense atmosphere before the battle oppressed everyone.
On the city wall of Jiankang stood countless new recruits of the Jiangdong Army.
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wu Yunzhao stood at a high place and looked down at the Yuzhang Army.
"The Yuzhang Navy has suffered a crushing defeat. I'm afraid that Lin Shihong will launch a fierce attack on Jiankang.”
Du Ruhui narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Then let him attack fiercely, the fiercer the better.”
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard with a smile in his eyes.
Wu Yunzhao was a little nervous because the Jiankang garrison consisted mainly of new recruits.
A large number of recruits went to the battlefield. When they saw the densely packed enemy troops, their legs trembled continuously.
Their breathing became more and more rapid, and many of them had cold sweat on their foreheads.
Lin Shihong looked at the rumored Jiangdong Army and frowned. The Jiangdong Army's expression clearly appeared in his eyes.
That nervous and fearful expression would only appear on recruits.
With just a glance, Lin Shihong knew that there were only 60,000 new recruits left in Jiankang.
Although there were some veterans among them, the numbers were not equal.
"This Cao Yun actually let a veteran who has never been to the battlefield stay here. Is he arrogant or does he not know that I will come to attack Jiankang?”
Lin Shihong's eyes were red, and his pupils were filled with greed.
If they were all new recruits, then his chances of taking down Jiankang would increase by a lot.
He was like a gambler who had a good hand, or even a sure win.
"Attack the city!"
Amidst the ear-piercing wind, Lin Shihong finally gave the order to attack the city.
The archers at the rear of the Yuzhang Army nocked their bows and pulled the bowstrings. Countless arrows shot into the sky and rushed toward Jiankang like raindrops.
The Jiangdong Army soldiers quickly found cover to avoid the rain of arrows.
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the others also entered the watchtower unhurriedly.
After the rain of arrows, the Yuzhang army took out their siege ladders and quickly started the siege.
The new recruits of the Jiangdong Army held spears in their hands and pressed on the front line, while the veterans at the back held the line.
As long as there were casualties among the recruits, these veterans would step up.
The purpose of this battle was to defend Jiankang and train the new recruits. The Yuzhang Army was the whetstone for the new recruits of the Jiangdong Army.
As the siege began, the Yuzhang Army was so densely packed that it was like a sea of people.
Countless scaling ladders were erected on the city walls. The Yuzhang Army frantically climbed the scaling ladders, launching a fierce attack from the start.
Although the Jiangdong Army recruits were nervous, they were still able to stabilize the defense of the city wall in the beginning.
They either used bows and arrows to shoot at the enemies attacking the city below or used spears to force back the enemies approaching the city wall.
In terms of basic offense and defense, the Jiangdong Army recruits did well, but the Yuzhang Army's offense was too fierce.
Lin Shihong had felt that the Yuzhang Army was about to attack the city wall many times, but the Jiangdong Army was able to stabilize the situation at such a critical moment.
Blood splattered everywhere, and screams and screams interweaved.
The soldiers 'fierce eyes and the fear before death outlined the heavy ink of the battlefield.
