Chapter 1462 Cai Mao rebelled
Chapter 1460: Cai Mao rebelled
This is Yue Fei''s third attack on Jiangling. After the two previous attempts ended in failure, Yue Fei carefully and meticulously studied Jiangling''s city defense, and his understanding of Jiangling City was definitely at a terrifying level.
Deng Yu was the prefect of Nanjun appointed by Liu Xiu, but even his understanding of Jiangling City may not be as good as Yue Fei, who is an outsider.
After Deng Yu took over Jiangling''s defense, he immediately made changes to the defense. After all, Yue Fei had already seen the arrangements last time. If he did not change, he would definitely be targeted by Yue Fei.
Deng Yu’s idea is not wrong. The mistake is that he did not make any corrections thoroughly. He just made adjustments based on Liu Xiu’s arrangement, but the core is still the one left by Liu Xiu.
Yue Fei didn''t know Liu Xiu''s arrangements well, but he had already understood them all. Deng Yu only made adjustments to defense without changing the core arrangements left by Liu Xiu, which was exactly what Yue Fei wanted.
Under Yue Fei''s personal command of the siege, the Qin army always pointed at the weakness of the Chu army, and there were also a group of powerful generals to attack, as well as many powerful weapons such as rock-throwing carriage, and oil bombs as auxiliary, so they could achieve a record of nearly one-to-one offense and defense casualties.
Deng Yu also noticed that there was something wrong with the defense. Yue Fei knew Jiangling''s defense well. If it weren''t for the defense that he had personally laid out and had never told anyone, he would have suspected that he had a Qin army spy by his side.
Now that the war has begun, Deng Yu cannot change his defenses at the last minute. Not to mention that it is too late, even if it is too late, Yue Fei will not give him a chance, and the result will definitely be worse.
Under the fierceness of the Qin army for fifteen consecutive days, the Qin army suffered a total of 12,000 casualties, and the auxiliary soldiers were lost to 3,000, and the Chu army was also uncomfortable, losing nearly 10,000 troops.
The Qin army, which has a wealthy family, has a total force of 600,000 troops, and the losses of 10,000 or 20,000 troops will be compensated soon.
But the Chu army is different. The Chu army, which has only a total of 150,000 troops, is now facing the four princes at the same time. If they fight to consume the Qin army, they will not be able to completely destroy the Chu army.
There were only 40,000 defenders in Jiangling City. One quarter of the city was lost in just fifteen days, and the strong men who assisted the city to defend the city also suffered a great loss, which also greatly reduced the morale of the entire army.
Deng Yu realized that this would not work. If he didn''t find a way to solve the problem, Jiangling City would sooner or later be destroyed. After all, the Chu army could not fight against the Qin army.
Before the war, Liu Xiu gave Deng Yu a 40,000 army and asked Deng Yu to stick to it for a year.
Originally, Deng Yu thought that 40,000 main force was in hand, and there was a strong city like Jiangling, so it would be no problem to hold Yue Fei back to him for a year.
A year later, the lord Liu Xiuding had occupied Jiaozhou, and reinforcements would naturally come to rescue Jiangling.
Deng Yu admitted that he thought the problem too simply, and he never expected that Yue Fei had attacked so hard from the beginning, and was determined to adopt this kind of lose-lose style to fight with him.
If we continue to consume this, Deng Yu would not be able to defend Jiangling City for a year, even for three months.
As he had no choice, Deng Yu had to take the risk and make changes to the core defense arrangement overnight, and this change was carried out together throughout the city.
It’s okay to say one or two days, but if it takes a long time, how could it be possible to hide it from Yue Fei?
After realizing Deng Yu''s intention, Yue Fei attacked the city overnight, just to directly break through Jiangling City before Deng Yu''s arrangement was completed.
Deng Yu also noticed Yue Fei''s intention and personally led all the generals and suicide squads to defend the city overnight, and completed the defense before all the suicide squads died in battle.
Although Jiangling City has been replaced with a new city guarding arrangement, in the previous process, many of the city guarding equipment on the city tower have been destroyed by the Qin army.
Now that Jiangling has been replaced, its defense is stronger than before, but it is only a little bit. Can it completely reversal the situation, but it also increases the losses of the Qin army. Outside the city, Yue Fei was still commanding a fierce attack, but there was a conspiracy in Jiangling City.
In Jiangling City, some of the Jingzhou families gathered in a certain courtyard of the Cai family, and the leader was Cai Mao.
"Everyone, Liu Xiu overestimated his abilities and went to war with the four major princes at the same time. He was destined to be destroyed. But we cannot be buried with him. We should make plans early." Cai Mao said with a gloomy face, and he regretted his original decision to support Liu Xiu against Qin Hao.
What did the Jingzhou family help Liu Xiu like this? Isn''t it just to keep the land in my hands?
But what about Liu Xiu? After he succeeded, he immediately turned against the people. Not only did he want to take away the hidden population of the aristocratic family, but now he even wants land. This is simply a jealous person.
Cai Mao was once Liu Xiu''s biggest supporter, because he joined forces with a family that was dissatisfied with Qin Hao to help Liu Xiu. But he did not expect that Liu Xiu was not only ungrateful, but also dealt with his Cai family and asked him to preside over the charge himself.
At that time, Cai Mao wanted to rebel, but he didn''t dare, because Liu Xiu dared to hand over the power to him, so there would definitely be a solution. If he rebels, the Cai family would definitely be exterminated.
Cai Mao endured the idea of ??rebelling and personally came forward to suppress the aristocratic families that he had been attracted to support Liu Xiu. This also made him, the former leader of the Jingzhou family, completely rebel against most of the Jingzhou families.
Cai Mao endured humiliation and was still in order to wait for this excellent opportunity to destroy Liu Xiu, who was praised by him.
"Everyone, please express your opinion, should you be buried with Liu Xiu or find another way out."
Hearing Cai Mao say this, these families are also very moved, but due to Liu Xiu''s long-term power, when his defeat was not yet final, no one dared to place bets without authorization. After all, if you bet wrong, it will be the end of the extermination of the clan.
"snort…"
Cai Mao snorted coldly when he saw this and said coldly: "Did you forget how Liu Xiu treated us?
In order to help Liu Xiu, our Jingzhou family paid money, grain and people to pay, and spent most of their money, but how did Liu Xiu repay us?
Suppress, suppress, or suppress. ”
As soon as this statement was spoken, it immediately aroused the indignation of many people present.
"Mr. Cai is right. Our Jingzhou family is not sorry for Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu is sorry for our Jingzhou family."
"Yes, we can''t continue like this. We must resist and let Liu Xiu know the power of our Jingzhou family."
…
Seeing the crowd excited, Cai Mao also smiled and said bitterly: "I, Cai Mao, was blind at the beginning and believed Liu Xiu incorrectly, which caused trouble to all major families. Now the opportunity has come. I, Cai Mao, must change this mistake."
"Mr. Cai, what should you do, right? We all listen to you."
“Yes…”
A cold light flashed in Cai Mao''s eyes: "Concentrate the soldiers, open the city gate, and give Jiangling City to the Qin army."
?The first update of the guarantee is...
