On February 1, 2018, the third year of Wuping, Northern Qi, the spring was chilly and the ice and snow gradually faded. However, the Chen army camp besieged Jiangling was still quiet, without any tension in the battle. Various military defense measures were in an orderly manner.

Zhang Zhaoda's main force has almost forced Lu Teng to set up camp. The forward sergeant and elite sergeant under Lu Teng have also maintained contact.

Lu Teng's reaction was almost the same. He did not fight, did not reconcile, did not retreat, and did not leave. He did not leave the city except using whistle cavalry to protect his own camp and spy on information.

However, in order to cover up his camp, Zhang Zhaoda sent infantry troops to line up in front of the camp, waiting for Lu Teng to take advantage of the fact that Chen's army had not yet stabilized to attack. He was worried for several nights, and the whistle detective doubled, but nothing happened.

The vanguard general of the former army and the fierce general of Chen Guo, Cheng Wenji, analyzed the situation of the two armies, and basically expressed a cautious and optimistic attitude, and echoed Xiao Moke's inference that Lu Teng was depressed and whether to go or fight was not decided, and the people in Jiangling City were panicked.

He also told Zhang Zhaoda that as long as the subsequent baggage is transported quickly, the Chen army brigade can defeat Lu Teng's main force in the field of Yicheng in one go. It is only a matter of time before the city is broken.

This idea is consistent with what Zhang Zhaoda thought, but no matter how good the plan is, it is impossible to tear a gap in the Jiangling City defense arranged by Lu Teng, so there is no way to fight in the field. Chen Jun would never be able to effectively kill the defenders through the high and steep city walls.

Lu Teng is good at fighting, and Zhang Zhaoda failed to succeed in attacking for several months, and his anger gradually increased.

Lu Teng emphasizes formation and then fights. His mobility is not as good as that of people. He cannot go out of the city to fight decisively, and what he fights is only about the consumption of materials.

If a large army is pulled out for field battles, it needs to transport tens of thousands of armor and millions of arrows. The soldiers cannot be allowed to chew the dry food they carry with them. They must be rewarded before they go out of the battle, so that the soldiers in the army can eat and wear warmth, maintain enough strength, and meat and dry food are also necessary.

When a large army fights in a field, there must be rewards. The more tragic the war is, the more it is to be seen. Moreover, the camp is reluctant to be laid down by these soldiers and men. It is far from being stable. There are a large number of supplies for camping in the rear, and they must be transported up so that the civilians can strengthen this important camp under Jiangling City as a basis for war.

In addition, they were all shipped on the big chariots of these civilians, mending tents, and creating special-size wood, woodworking equipment, iron siege equipment, lighting equipment, and iron chains for chains... All of them were shipped on the big chariots of the civilians and men, and they had to be transported with great effort.

Jiangling Cang Mansion consumed very quickly! But Liang's ruler and ministers have been in charge for a long time and have a strong family background. It is more than enough to keep Jiangling for a year!

When these astronomical materials were transported, the camp was stabilized, and it was even more difficult for Chen's main force to attack the city.

The Zhou army and Liang army had sufficient supplies and a stable camp as a support, so they had a basis for advancing and retreating.

Moreover, they equipped the sharpest crossbow of this era, wearing heavy armor and holding sharp blades, and the entire army counterattacked, which was enough to defeat all the enemies blocking them!

Of course, the Chen army all understood this principle. They must not give Lu Teng a chance to counterattack. What we need to do now is to transport the supplies as soon as possible so that Chen army can continue to have an overwhelming advantage over the defenders in the city!

This makes the Huang Fawei in the rear not only guard against Qi in the north, but also ensure the transportation of money, grain and equipment for the army as much as possible. Every day, the seawater-like materials are distributed.

Needless to say, the army's supply consumption is at least 100,000 yuan, and the daily salt and vegetable money is a huge number.

The key is that some officials like to drink soldiers and eat money and food. The civil servants traveled to the two sides of the Taiwan Strait every day, worked hard to get lucky, and even risked the risk of war.

If you deduct this, it will lead to unstable morale and poor transportation. Although there is no other action under the army, you will eventually complain and you will not be able to work.

The floating bridge was very easy to set up and let the main force of the army pass, these civilians and men crossed the river very slowly, and they were crowded with people, horses and chariots, and there was no order at all, so the speed of transportation could be imagined.

The general in charge of this matter was so anxious that he jumped back and forth on the river dozens of times every day. He shouted hoarsely and his throat was useless. Finally, Zhang Zhaoda personally issued a document to order Huang Faqiu took out his busy schedule to solve the problem several times. During the march, he stopped talking about anything missing. He directly picked out more than a dozen greedy generals and beheaded and showed their heads to the public, and suppressed the evil incident of drinking blood from the soldiers.

The Northern Expedition attracted the attention of the whole country. The army was nearly 100,000, and there were countless powerful generals. The officials accompanying him were even more insignificant. Killing a few was just killing chickens for the monkeys to see, and barely shocked those guys who wanted money but didn't live.

What Huang Fafei is really worried about is that the surrounding prefectures and warehouses are empty, and he will definitely not be able to support the army's operations in the future. If you go far, you will have to ask the Jiankang court to come from important towns such as Zhenjiang. It can be imagined that the pressure on logistics transportation will be several times greater!

Before coming, everyone was full of confidence. Even Huang Faqi, who was a mature and persistent general, felt that he would soon be able to take Jiangling. But who would have thought that Lu Teng and Wang Cao had lasted for so long but had not completely lost.

This Jiangling is only 300 miles in a radius, and the two generations of Xiao’s father and son have managed it, which has allowed them to accumulate a strong family background.

In one month, Huang Faying can hold on for another month. If Zhang Zhaoda does not win again in one month, Chen Jun will have to retreat...

Zhang Zhaoda will not be unclear. I think the real decisive battle will come soon!

The defense scope of Xiao Moke's left-behind troops in Chen Jun was opened by the Chen Jun to guard the ferry crossing was getting bigger and bigger. Zhang Zhaoda ordered the army to build a military camp at the river embankment to be completed. Now the role of Zhang Zhaoda, the commander of the head of the army, was to send these rewards before the war, boost morale, and supervise the final decisive battle.

"I will give you another seven days. All the supplies and materials of the army must be sent to Yanhezhai. If all the overdue construction is completed, those who are killed! Otherwise, there will be no one to protect the floating bridge and the river embankment, and the food and supplies will not be guaranteed. I have to use your head to calm the army!"

To the east of the Central Army camp, there were some generals stationed in the army. However, in order to be in good condition, Zhang Zhaoda transferred them all to guard the river embankment in the west, and ordered them to take care of the main ferry and the floating bridge.

Seeing Zhang Zhaoda's arrangement like this, anyone with a discerning eye understood that the decisive battle was in the evening. Zhang Zhaoda kept building military camps on the river embankments, digging trenches and canals. It was obvious that he wanted to wait for the south wind to melt, and the ice melted, so he dug the embankment and flooded Jiangling City!

The ferry is less than twenty miles away from the camp under the army. It is definitely within the range of response. On the west bank of the ferry, there are still several pontoon bridges guarding the ferry, which is 13,400,000 troops, almost 30,000 main forces of the entire army under Zhang Zhaoda. It is equipped with a strong bow and a hard crossbow, and is enough to defend.

Needless to say, the Jiangling defenders were already depressed. Even if he drew his troops to attack the ferry and cut off Zhang Zhaoda's retreat. The garrison troops here were enough to support the main force of the front army to return to the aid... So what could Lu Teng defend the city? He was about to flood Jiangling!

All the arrangements Zhang Zhaoda made were in Lu Teng's eyes. He went through such a lot of effort, but he was just to lure water into the city. He also played like this last time, but he was intercepted by Lu Teng and failed to achieve his best.

The weather gradually warmed up, and the ice on the river gradually melted, leaving only a few pieces of floating ice floating on it.

Jiangling is under the river embankment. If Zhang Zhaoda digs the river embankment, the river water will rush to Jiangling, and Jiangling will definitely be broken! The king and ministers of Liang have not discussed it for a long time. Many ministers suggested surrendering to Chen State, but Xiao Kui naturally refused. Then someone proposed to surrender to Qi State. Under Zhang Zhaoda's threat, everyone was in chaos. The stable atmosphere created by the king and ministers of Liang State and Lu Teng was instantly wiped out.

Lu Teng pressed his sword and killed the ministers who were clamoring to surrender on the spot. The scene was very terrifying. Master Liang Xiao Kui's face was blue and white. He pointed at Lu Teng and shouted: "General Lu, what do you mean?" Master Liang and Lu Teng's respective guards drew their swords. As long as the other party dared to make any abnormal movement, they would immediately make blood splatter on the spot!

Lu Teng did not have any extra expressions of guilt or other guilt on his face, but instead laughed to the sky, "Hahaha, what is the great cause of reviving the ancestors is just a bunch of bullshit! The enemy has gained the upper hand for the time being, so you are all afraid? They dare not fight forward to the death?!"

"Zhang Zhaoda is a tiger, and I will pull out all his teeth! If you dare to surrender, I will slaughter the whole city!"

His eyes were both fierce and vicious, and no one present dared to look at him. Lu Teng had surrendered once before, and became a stain that he could not erase in his life. Now that he surrendered again, his reputation and integrity will disappear! In any case, he would never surrender, and he could only fight to the end!

Only Wang Cao was calm. He used his eyes to signal Lord Liang to be calm and asked him: "Since that's the case, can General Lu have a plan to defeat the enemy?"

"Zhang Zhaoda wants to supervise the repair of the village, and also send more troops to the east to siege the city... The west side is definitely empty! Since he wants to divert water to the city, then we will let his plan fail!"

"First the cavalry attacked, then the six armies launched at the same time, and a partial division rushed directly to Zhang Zhaoda's central army, bit him tightly, and delayed the time for our army to destroy the Western Army!

"In addition, people were drawn to watch the husbands, so that they could not be disturbed. At this time, all those who insulted the morale of the army would be beheaded!

"Call the generals and officials from all walks of life, and let them draw civilians and soldiers to send arrows, crossbows and arrows to the front of the army. Everyone was in their own position and some were in the center to supervise the battle.

"As long as you persist for a long time, after finishing the West Road, the army will return to the rescue... We must fight him in a decisive battle!

"I notify all generals that if you take a step back, the entire team will be killed!!"
Chapter completed!
