Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 376 Flying Tiger
Tens of thousands of Jin troops and civilians surrounded Shouchun with deep trenches and high forts.

Without surrounding Sanque, the Jin army had no intention of letting Liang Jun in the city survive.

In the view of the Jiangdong nobles, Liang Jun only had about 3 people on the Huaisi front line. If they were eaten, they could capture Xuzhou and take advantage of the opportunity to invade Qingyan and regain the south of the Yellow River.

With the merit of regaining Xu Qingyan, Wang Xie Xunyin and other Jiangdong nobles were able to overpower Huan Wen.

For this reason, the Jiangdong nobles also made up their minds to dig out all their wealth.

It can be said that this is the last struggle of the Jiangdong nobles.

Capturing Shouchun would at least maintain the status quo of the east-west confrontation with Huan Wen.

If it failed, the power would have to be handed over, and the common rule of the gentry would become Huan Wen's sole power.

Jingxiang's strength had already surpassed that of Jiangdong, and it was located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. It was difficult for Jiangdong to resist Huan Wen's attack.

"Your fathers and ancestors are Jin people. If you surrender, you will avoid death! The imperial court will treat you well!" Every day, Jin troops would persuade people to surrender under the city.

The effect was quite good. There were always some people who were loyal to the Jin Dynasty and fled out of the city and surrendered to the Jin army, which exposed the real situation in the city.

Liang Jun has 3 people on the Huaisi front line, but the main force of Heiyun is only Liang Xiao's 4000 people. The rest are either suppressing troops or troops.

We must also guard important places such as Xiapi and Pengcheng.

There were only more than 1 soldiers in Shouchun City. Some of them escaped during these days, and the defenders suffered many casualties, leaving only more than [-] soldiers.

The city can still be defended, but it is really unlucky to be suppressed by the Jin army.

"A certain general led an elite raid and dampened the morale of the Jin army. What does the veteran general think?" Liang Xiao had been brewing this idea for a long time.

Jia Jian glanced at the airtight fortress below the city and said, "Xun Xian is wise, Yuan Zhen is brave, and the Jin army is vigorous. It is better to hold on. There is enough food and grass in the city. In less than half a year, the Jin army will not be able to capture this city. In the current troubled autumn, Huan Wen's Northern Expedition In Luozhong, the Murong clan goes south to merge with the state, and Shouchun must not be missed. If my prediction is true, reinforcements from the King of Liang will definitely arrive."

"Will King Liang have reinforcements?"

The pressure from the north is not small, and the revolution is at a critical moment. The Heiyun Army must not only guard against Huan Wen and the Murong clan, but also guard against the inside.

"There are three groups of people. Huan Wen only aims at Luoyang. The Murong family only wants to merge with the state. Only the Jin army does the most harm and frequently instigates rebellions against the powerful powers of the Central Plains. It's time for the King of Liang to teach them a lesson!"

Jia Jian is also a powerful man, and he has received Xun Xian's letter of persuasion to surrender a few days ago.

If he surrenders in the spring of Jushou, he will be rewarded by the Duke of Leling County, and he will be granted the title of Qingzhou Mu, General of the Eastern Expedition, and Commander-in-Chief of all military affairs in Qingzhou and Hebei Provinces.

The reward was generous, but Jia Jian scorned it and never looked at Jiangdong.

The two were discussing when suddenly war drums roared below the city.

Thousands of Jin soldiers carried swords and shields and pushed ladders, chariots, and crash carts forward.

In the air, countless arrows flew into the sky like locusts, shrouding the sky above Shouchun like dark clouds.

In the dark clouds, the cannonballs made a sharp whistling sound and hit the city head hard, kicking up waves of dust.

The pressure on the city made Liang Jun unable to breathe.

Jiangdong has a large population and rich wealth. Yin Hao failed in his two Northern Expeditions and lost a lot of supplies. It took only one year for him to regain his strength.

Most of the Jin army were "moons" who went south, thinking about restoring their homeland all the time.

This is also the reason why Xie Shang, Xun Xian and others can go north again and again.

The sky was full of arrows and cannon stones, and there were already casualties on the city wall. Some people were frightened by the roaring rain of arrows and cannon stones, and fled to the inner city desperately, but in the blink of an eye they were turned into hedgehogs by the arrow rain. …

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Jin army gradually approached the city wall.

On the cloud ladder, dozens of Jin soldiers jumped into the city bravely and fought with Liang Jun. More Jin soldiers climbed up the long ladder.The rolling stones, hammering logs, and arrows on the city were splashed like water.

In the blink of an eye, the city was dripping with blood.

The Jin army did not attack, and they used all their strength as soon as they came up.

The failures of Jiangdong's several Northern Expeditions were all without exception. Either the general was hesitant and refused to cross the Ba River, or the enemy could not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy and forced Zhang Yu and Yao Xiang to rebel before they returned home...

The combat effectiveness of the Jin soldiers was not weak, and the Jiangdong nobles were determined this time.

Therefore, the war was extremely fierce, with feint attacks on three sides and strong attacks on one side.

Some Jin warriors were pierced by seven or eight spears, but they still moved forward bravely. The moment they fell, they had to cut out the sword in their hands.

The ordinary town army could no longer resist them, and was forced back step by step by the desperate momentum of the Jin army.

However, at the critical moment, Liang Xiao led the Heiyun elite to fight fiercely and barely managed to withstand the Jin army's attack.

"Flying Tiger General! Flying Tiger General..."

The Jin army that was attacking the city suddenly shouted, as if they were expecting something.

At this moment, a burly figure appeared among the Jin troops under the city. He was as agile as a monkey, wearing silver armor, holding a large shield in one hand, two short halberds hanging on his waist, and stepping on a long ladder. Rushed up.

And his arrival brought the morale of the Jin army to its peak.

"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow!" Jia Jian's pupils shrank suddenly, he bent his bow and nocked an arrow towards the man.

With a "whoosh" shot, the long arrow was like an electric light, heading straight towards the man's head with his big shield exposed.

The surrounding archers also shot more than a dozen arrows.

"Hey!" The man jumped up from the long ladder. His shield blocked Jia Jian's long arrows. The other arrows hit the Mingguang armor. After a jingling sound, they hung down weakly. Only a few of them were embedded in the armor. On the bright light armor.

As soon as it hit the ground, the short halberd was swung out, and it immediately chopped down a Liang Jun. The halberd blade hooked the corpse, and with one hand, he smashed the corpse into the approaching Liang Jun.

"Meng Kai and Meng Feihu are here, the thieves will come and fight to the death!" Meng Kai threw away his shield, held a short halberd in both hands, and looked at the approaching Liang Jun with murderous intent.

Liang Jun was momentarily intimidated by his momentum, and no one dared to step forward.

The three black cloud generals reacted quickly. They winked at each other and gathered around with their swords raised. They attacked separately and cooperated skillfully.

Meng Kai fought one against three, swinging his two halberds like flying. However, after only ten breaths, the three black clouds fell down softly, bleeding like drops.

Meng Kai also had wounds on his body, but the Mingguang Armor was extremely protective, and the fatal wound on his heart was only a minor injury. He stepped forward step by step, stepping on the bloody water, leaving behind blood-red footprints, "Why don't the traitors surrender to the court earlier!"

"The thieves will stop being so rampant!" Liang Xiao led more than a hundred black cloud troops and rushed over.

However, there were dozens of Jin soldiers gathered around Meng Kai.

When the two sides met, they couldn't help but fight together.

Meng Kai was temporarily restrained by Liang Xiao, while Jia Jian continued to command his soldiers to suppress the Jin army with bows and arrows.

Jia Jian has always been known as a good archer, and all his subordinates are good at shooting. Each feathered arrow, from a high position, penetrated into the face or neck of the Jin army, killing and wounding many people.

Just as they were about to suppress the Jin army's offensive, a loud shout from the top of the city, "Death!"

Jia Jian looked up and saw Liang Xiao's entire body being blown away by Meng Kai's halberds...
