Liu Yuanjing of Yuzhang County did not receive any news of Wu Tianxi's defeat.
Because Lin Shihong had led the main army to Jiankang, Jiujiang Prefecture, which was led by Yuzhang Prefecture, was seriously lacking in troops.
Under such circumstances, if the enemy attacked, it would be difficult for the six counties to resist.
Liu Yuanjing had not received any news from the front line in recent days, which made him anxious.
"Whether it's Yongjia County that Wu Tianxi is supporting or the army personally led by the lord, there's no news.”
Liu Yuanjing frowned and felt uneasy.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a loud noise came from outside the city.
The sound was a little dull, as if something heavy was rhythmically hitting the ground.
Liu Yuan Jing's face turned ugly when he heard the noise.
The thing he was most worried about had happened. The Jiangdong Army had probably already attacked.
This meant that Wu Tianxi, who was fighting at the front line, had failed. Otherwise, the enemy would not have approached at this time.
Liu Yuanjing hurriedly walked out of the mansion and headed straight for the city wall.
When they reached the city wall and looked down from above, they saw countless troops standing below Yuzhang County.
The Jiangdong Army's battle flag fluttered in the wind. Their eyes were sharp as they looked at Yuzhang County.
The entire Jiangdong Army was like a sharp blade.
When they unsheathed their swords and stabbed at the enemy, it was the time to show their sharpness.
"What an elite army!"
Seeing this, Liu Yuan Jing could not help but sigh.
"Wu Tianxi has been defeated. Other than Yuzhang County, the rest of the county cities have been taken. Are you going to surrender or what?”
Cao Yun narrowed his eyes and shouted.
Whoosh.
The Dark Stallion neighed and raised its hooves high.
Dressed in red armor and holding the Overlord Halberd, Cao Yun rode on a dark horse.
At this moment, he looked domineering, and the domineering aura between his brows was undoubtedly revealed.
"Not only does he have the appearance of an emperor, but he also has the bearing of an emperor.”
Liu Yuanjing commented.
The emperor's face was referring to Cao Yun's appearance.
As for the bearing of an emperor, it was because Liu Yuan Jing discovered that Cao Yun was surrounded by fierce generals.
Without the bearing of an emperor, how could so many people be willing to serve him?
"Yuzhang County is the lord's base. I naturally won't surrender.”
Liu Yuanjing stood on the city wall and replied.
There was a strong wind on the city wall, and the wind blew his long robe, causing it to flutter and make rustling sounds.
There was a hint of determination in his eyes. He had decided to defend Yuzhang County to the death. This was probably the last time he would fight for Lin Shihong.
Cao Yun didn't say anything. Yuzhang County had less than 10,000 soldiers. This amount of soldiers was not enough to defend Cao Yun, who had 70,000 infantry.
In addition, the reason why they moved so quickly was to quickly take down Yangzhou.
This way, they wouldn't have to extend the time for the battle, which would cause Xiao Xi to go straight to Yangzhou after taking Jingzhou.
Dong dong dong.
The war drums beat like thunder.
"Attack the city!"
Cao Yun's eyes focused, and he immediately gave the order to attack the city.
"Kill them!"
Without archers to hold the line and consume energy, the army directly carried out the siege ladders and chose the most direct way to attack the city.
Even if there were some casualties in the 70,000-strong army, the difference in overall strength would not be too great.
The red armors of the Jiangdong Army were densely packed, surging towards Yuzhang County like a river of blood.
"I heard that the Jiangdong Army is wearing bright red armor. Once they launch a large-scale attack, the world will change color like a river of blood.”
Liu Yuanjing was talking and laughing. He was still commenting on the Jiangdong Army calmly among the tens of thousands of soldiers.
"Release the arrows!"
When the Jiangdong Army was extremely close to the city wall, they naturally entered the attack range of the Yuzhang Army. Liu Yuanjing chose the best attack range and ordered the attack.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Immediately, tens of thousands of arrows flew out from Yuzhang County, raining down like rain.
Ding! Ding!
The arrows hit the shields of the soldiers in front of the Jiangdong Army, making a series of crisp sounds.
At the same time, sparks flew everywhere, and many bumps appeared on the iron shield.
After a wave of arrows, the Yuzhang Army still wanted to draw their bows.
However, Liu Yuanjing ordered most of the soldiers to throw heavy objects down the city wall. This was the only way to resist the attack of the Jiangdong Army.
It wasn't as if the Yuzhang Army didn't have a chance.
Yuzhang County could at least survive for a while, but Lin Shihong had already set his sights on Jiankang, and he was caught up in Fang Xuanling's rhythm.
He would not be able to react in time.
The resistance of Yuzhang County would only prolong the time.
It was indeed a good defensive strategy to throw down heavy objects, but the soldiers needed to carry heavy objects before throwing them down. The whole process would take a lot of time.
Yuzhang County's garrison did not have many soldiers, and the Jiangdong Army attacked from all directions.
In less than a moment, the Jiangdong Army had attacked the city wall.
Once they reached the top of the city wall, it completely disrupted the rhythm of the Yuzhang Army throwing down heavy objects, causing more Jiangdong Army soldiers to climb up the city wall.
"Kill them!"
After reaching the top of the city wall, the Jiangdong Army roared.
They raised their weapons and charged at the Yuzhang Army.
Screams of agony followed as the Yuzhang Army fell one after another, blood splattering everywhere.
Liu Yuanjing stood motionless on the city wall, quietly watching the soldiers charge forward.
"I've already tried my best, but I can't stop the heavens.”
Liu Yuanjing let out a long sigh, then closed his eyes and jumped down from the city wall.
Since they couldn't stop the Jiangdong Army, Yuzhang County would definitely fall.
When the Jiangdong Army reached the top of the city wall, Liu Yuanjing had completed his final mission and chose to jump down from the top of the city wall to end his life.
Yuzhang County quickly fell, and most of the remaining Yuzhang Army chose to surrender.
The battle started very quickly and ended just as quickly.
The battlefield was a mess, and corpses were strewn all over the battlefield.
Cao Yun walked into the city and immediately opened the granary to help the people. Then, he discussed with Li Jing and the others in the meeting hall.
"My lord, Yuzhang County has been taken down. Lin Shihong still doesn't know. Our army should return to Jiankang immediately and surround Lin Shihong from the rear.”
Li Jing said in a deep voice.
If they set off from Yuzhang County along the route that Lin Shihong had taken, they would be able to catch Lin Shihong off guard.
"Let the army rest for a moment, then march quickly.”
Cao Yun said in a deep voice.
Yuzhang County, Yongjia County, and other places had all been taken down. As long as they defeated Lin Shihong, this battle could be declared over.
"Yes, sir!"
Li Jing received the order and quickly issued it.
The army rested in Yuzhang County for less than four hours before setting off in the direction of Jiankang.
When they returned to Jiankang this time, they could have a portion of the soldiers return with the 10,000 Jiangdong Navy soldiers.
The rest of the army continued to march by land. That night, the army began to set off.
The final battle was about to begin.
