Chapter 1782: Iron Wall
The reinforcements could not reach Jiangling, which meant that they would have to fight alone, but Meng Gong was not anxious at all.
Seeing Meng Gong's posture, Han Shizhong asked a little doubtfully, but Meng Gong just smiled and said: "Thanks to General Han for delaying for half a month, allowing Meng to redeploy Jiangling's defense, otherwise If we follow the original plan, Jiangling City may not be able to hold on for three days."
The original deployment mentioned by Meng Gong was the defensive deployment of Jiangling during Liu Xiu's period. After the Qin army occupied Jiangling, they did not expect Liu Xiu to be able to fight back, so to save trouble, they still retained the original defensive deployment.
If facing the Shu army, Jiangling's defensive deployment will naturally have no problem, but if the person facing him is Liu Xiu, then the problem will be with him. After all, no one knows the advantages and disadvantages of his own deployment better than him.
That's why Han Shizhong led 5,000 navy troops to defeat 50,000 Chu troops even though he knew he was outmatched, in order to buy Meng Gong of Jiangling time to make changes.
Emergency changes to a city's defense deployment are not something that can be done in a short time, but Meng Gong not only did it, but HIA did it almost perfectly.
The current defense layout of Jiangling City no longer has the slightest trace of Liu Xiu, and it is still sufficient to defend even against Liu Xiu.
On the side of the Chu army, Liu Xiu frowned as he looked at Jiangling City whose defenses had been greatly improved.
"This Qin Army garrison is not an easy one. Before the troops were sent out, Jiangling's defense had not changed, but after our army arrived, Jiangling had been greatly changed. Even I could not find any flaws for a while."
Liu Xiu's eyes were filled with admiration, and then a trace of envy flashed through his eyes: "How come the Qin army has so many talented people?"
"My lord, I am willing to lead the army to attack Jiangling, capture the Jiangling garrison alive, and offer it to my lord." Chong Heihu stood up and asked for battle.
Since joining Liu Xiu's command, Chong Heihu has not met an opponent yet. Even Sun Ce, the so-called little overlord of Jiangdong, is still no match for him. This has also made his confidence soar but also a little arrogant, and even Qin Jun is no longer taken seriously.
Chong Heihu lives in Heng, Jiaozhou, and has never been out. Naturally, he has little experience. But Liu Xiu, who is used to seeing strong winds and waves, cannot possibly have no experience at all.
Seeing Chong Heihu taking the initiative to ask for a fight, Liu Xiu thought about it briefly and said with a smile: "There is no rush. Let's send an envoy to lobby first and test General Qin's attitude."
“That’s...okay.”
Chong Heihu had no choice but to retreat.
What Liu Xiu didn't expect was that the Chu army actually came to the city. After announcing his identity, he was directly shot to death by Han Shizhong before he entered the city and saw the fierce attack.
"Liu Xiu, no one in Jiangling will surrender to you, I said so." Han Shizhong shouted towards the Chu army camp.
Hearing this, Liu Xiu immediately clenched his fists, anger flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What a Han Shizhong."
The two commanderies fought without killing the envoys. Han Shizhong killed all the Chu army envoys. How could he persuade them to surrender?
“General Han, you...”
Meng Gong couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Han Shizhong's behavior. He knew that Han Shizhong wanted to put an end to his thoughts, but he never thought of surrendering. He only saw the Chu army envoy to delay time.
“General Meng, Han has dealt with Liu Xiu more than once. This person is both civil and military. It is impossible for this small trick of delaying time to work on him.”
Han Shizhong said calmly that he had used this trick when he was fighting guerrillas in Jingnan. If it had worked, he would not go north to join the Qin army.
You are simply worried about me, right?
Meng Gong secretly complained in his heart, but there was no dissatisfaction in his heart. After all, several county magistrates had surrendered to Chu. A surrendered general like Han Shizhong who had a big grudge against Liu Xiu and was absolutely impossible to surrender must consider appearing. Possibility of traitor.
Thinking of Liu Xiu's enemies, Meng Gong couldn't help but think of Huang Xie.
Han Shizhong and Huang Xie, one was the son of the governor of Changsha and the other was the son of the governor of Jiangxia. They were both sons of princes, but they were both forced by Liu Xiu to join the Qin army.
While Liu Xiu grew stronger to a certain extent, he also indirectly enhanced the power of the Qin army in northern Jing.
Since Liu Xiu failed to persuade him to surrender, he naturally could not be soft-hearted and decisively sent Chong Heihu to challenge. “I worship the black tiger, who dares to fight to the death with me...”
Before the word "war" could be uttered, Chong Heihu was greeted by a hail of arrows.
Seeing the Qin army firing arrows without saying a word, Chong Heihu was also startled. He quickly blocked and dodged, easily dodging the arrows and escaping back to his formation.
“My lord, this Qin army guard general, he, he, he…”
Chong Heihu was so angry that he couldn't speak. He hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "You don't play according to common sense."
"Well, since the Qin army is unwilling to fight, our army will attack the city directly."
Liu Xiu's eyes flashed coldly, he pulled out the sword from his waist and said coldly: "Go down with the order and prepare to attack the city."
)
The Chu army was invincible in every attack. Even with only one-third of its troops, no city could withstand it for two days.
However, Jiangling, as the seat of Nanjun, is obviously different from ordinary county towns. Even if the number of defenders in the city is insufficient, it is not easy to attack it, so Liu Xiucai will personally command the siege.
Under the personal command of Liu Xiu, generals such as Chong Heihu, Gai Yan, Wei Wentong, and Wang Bodang assisted in the siege. The morale of the Chu army soldiers greatly increased, and they wanted to directly overwhelm Jiangling with the power of black clouds. collapse.
Facing the Chu army's siege strategy of surrounding three but one missing, Meng Gong personally led the army to guard the north gate, while generals Han Shizhong and Huo Jun guarded the east and west gates respectively.
