Chapter 110 The two armies jointly attack Spring Valley

After daybreak, Zhang Yi gathered his soldiers and captives, loaded the loot into cars, dismantled the camp, and returned to his camp.

They returned to the camp at noon, handed over the captives to Yang Yanyu and Yu Min, and asked them to count the spoils and count how much they had gained.

After the battalion was handed over to the two, Zhang Yi took the troops to rest. After a night of marching and fighting, he rushed back non-stop. He was really tired.

After resting until the next day, Yang Yanyu handed the list to Zhang Yi.Looking at the list, Zhang Yi found that 100 people were captured, 176 sets of armor, more than 3600 weapons, 106 tents, 124 horses, and 78 war horses.More than 1200 bolts of cloth, more than 1800 pieces of five baht coins, more than 3000 pieces of gold, silver, jewelry, and lacquerware, 1000 stones of grain, more than 300 horses and chariots, and countless wood...

What a reward!Zhang Yi was very happy after reading the list, and said to Yang Yanyu: "Send the captives to the camp by the river, and then directly transport the food to Chungu County to join me."

"promise!"

Yang Yanyu left with the prisoners, and Zhang Yi rested here for two days.He wanted to wait for Liu Muzhi, but Liu Muzhi still didn't show up after two days, which surprised him a bit. Could it be that Liu Muzhi didn't come to join him?

Unable to figure it out, Zhang Yi gave up and directly raised troops to Chungu County.

Li Jing welcomed Zhang Yi into the Spring Valley camp. The two soldiers joined together, and there were more than 2 people, four or five times the number in the city.

With Zhang Yi's soldiers, Li Jing began to attack the city.On the front, Wei Wentong led Zhang Yi's personal soldiers, and Li Bao led Shi Jin's troops to attack along the mound.

Lei Xu led people to infiltrate the city through the tunnel, which had already been dug under the city wall.

Zhang Yi summoned the craftsmen and made the proposed stone throwing machine again.To be honest, Zhang Yi really wanted to summon a mathematician. After having a mathematician, he could ask the mathematician to draw the blueprint of the trebuchet.

Although Zhang Yi understood the principle of the trebuchet, he knew nothing about the drawings.The last time it took a month to make a trebuchet in Nanchang, if there are drawings, the craftsmen only need three to five days to complete it.

Tai Shici led his soldiers to resist constantly at the top of the city, condescendingly shooting arrows and charging, repelling wave after wave of attacks.But their casualties are also very high, because the armor rate is too low, and the wells outside the city can cause very high damage to them, especially when they focus on the siege team, they often ignore the arrows.

Because of this, Tai Shici was shot by Zhang Jun on the well, let alone other people?
After six or seven days of fighting, the casualties in the city had exceeded 1000.The morale of the soldiers was low. Taishi Ci was also in low spirits because of the arrow wound, and seemed to be infected.

Cheng Pu's injury didn't heal, but he still said to Tai Shici: "Ziyi, you should take a rest, otherwise you will never survive until the reinforcements arrive."

Tai Shici smiled wryly, "General Cheng, there are no more reinforcements."

Where did Cheng Pu not know?He just wanted to lie to Tai Shici.He had already seen that if the reinforcements came, they should have arrived a few days ago.Moreover, Zhang Yi's reinforcements came from the northeast, so they must have defeated his own reinforcements.

But what if there are no reinforcements?Don’t you still have to stick to it?It would be difficult for them to withdraw now.

Tai Shici endured the wound from the arrow, and said to Cheng Pu: "General Cheng, we still have to find a way to break out of the encirclement. Chungu will definitely not be able to hold on. We must find a way to escape."

Cheng Pu looked at Tai Shici and asked, "Ziyi, can we escape in our current situation?"

Taishi Ci looked at Cheng Pu's injuries, then at his own injuries, and sighed slightly, indeed!The two of them were seriously injured.But he couldn't sit still and wait for death. He thought for a moment and said to Cheng Pu: "General Cheng, why don't we also dig tunnels?"

"Huh?" Cheng Pu looked at Tai Shici in surprise, but didn't understand what he meant.

"We also dug a tunnel leading to the outside of the city. After the enemy enters the city, we will exit the city through the tunnel, and then pass through the enemy's camp to break out of the encirclement."

When Cheng Pu heard this, he kept thinking.After the enemy enters the city, most of the troops will definitely enter the city, and the number of soldiers and horses in the camp will be much less, so it should be much easier to kill them.Thinking of this, his face brightened, "Okay, let's do this!"

Cheng Pu went to arrange the digging of the tunnel, while Tai Shici continued to defend the city.

Zhang Yi's siege troops also lost nearly 2000 people. Many attacks failed, so Li Jing took a temporary truce to make some adjustments, and waited for the catapult by the way.

After ten days of installation, the trebuchet was finally completed.Zhang Yi first had people conduct a test shooting. As a result, only three of the five trebuchets were relatively accurate.

Fortunately, there is no siege now!Otherwise, his soldiers will definitely suffer.

Zhang Yi immediately made adjustments with the craftsmen and then conducted test firings. After several times, the five trebuchets were completed.

Taishi Ci stood on the top of the city and saw the trebuchets outside the city. He couldn't help but feel furious. When he was in Nanchang, it was these trebuchets that greatly reduced the morale of the soldiers in the city. In addition, Sun Ben died in the battle. Let the city of Nanchang be destroyed.

Now seeing the trebuchet again, Tai Shici was in a bad mood!He really wanted to rush down and burn these trebuchets, but he didn't.

If it were another army, Tai Shici would definitely organize death squads to do so, but Zhang Yi's army couldn't do it. His army was too redundant and strict, and the death squads would be sent to death.

Looking at Zhang Yi's soldiers, Tai Shici was very envious. If he could lead such an army to fight, even death would be worth it.

But the reality is often so cruel. If Zhang Yi had attacked Jiangdong a few years earlier, would he be under Zhang Yi's command now?

Unfortunately, it was Sun Ce who attacked Jiangdong first!Sun Ce has the kindness to know him, and Tai Shici will not surrender even if he dies.It is enough to have a confidant in life!No need for a second one.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

The trebuchet kept throwing stones on the top of the city, and Tai Shici organized the soldiers to avoid it.

But he himself didn't notice that a stone hit the city wall, a small stone cracked and hit Tai Shici on the head, his head buzzed and he fell on the city wall.

"General!" Taishi Ci's personal guards immediately helped Taishi Ci and sent him down the city wall for treatment.

Wei Wentong knew Tai Shici, he saw that Tai Shici was knocked out at a glance, and immediately shouted: "Tai Shici is dead! Follow me!"

"Tai Shici is dead!" "Tai Shici is dead!"...

Zhang Yijun followed Wei Wentong shouting and charged up the mound, attacking the city.

 Thanks to the newspaper Linfeng for the reward
