Just yesterday, there was another depressing bad news. Chen Dengzheng, the prefect of Guangling, corrected more than 30,000 troops and pulled out the south one after another …
Sun’s eyes swept across his heart. Although he felt a little relieved by Zhou Yu’s judgment, he was inevitably touched by the word "doubt each other". Did he ever doubt Zhou Yu? And did Zhou Yu ever doubt himself?
After all, there are too few master veterans who have gone through Sun Jian and Sun Ce like Cheng Pu, and this year’s so-called loyalty is hard to stand the test. Of course, there are also many junior officers from powerful families. The news of Chen Wu’s surrender the other day was once suspected, but it has been confirmed recently that Chen Wu Chen Lie, the commander-in-chief and five schools, has become a general of Jingzhou army.
It’s normal for such a situation to suspect each other. What’s more, Jingzhou army is under siege. Who can say that they have no selfishness and have never thought of leaving a way out for themselves? Even Sun often wakes up in the middle of the night and stares stupefied, thinking to himself that he has some strength after a big defeat.
Sun didn’t think about simply surrendering to bretz, but the idea was immediately rejected by himself, and he dared not show any such thoughts and emotions to people. He knew that even if he surrendered to stabilize the people in Jiangdong, he would definitely destroy himself completely, because he would make the same choice in his own words, which was nothing more than ensuring rule in feud and feud.
For a pretence, please surrender. After Liu Cong saw through this plan, he wrote back and denounced Sun for being humiliated. Zhou Yu secretly resented this plan. What made Sun chilling most was that after he surrendered, some of the generals in the army’s eyes flashed with joy and some people’s faces showed a look of relief. Although most people’s faces were very indifferent, it also made Sun feel freezing. Even if Xu Kun and Jiang Qin and other human resources advised him not to, he didn’t feel much warmth. If Zhou Yu didn’t immediately explain the surrender, I was afraid that someone would jump out and agree!
It is impossible to delay, and there is no response from foreign aid that has high hopes.
Sun didn’t know at this time that three days ago, he sent a messenger, and after several days of sleepless travel, he had sent his secret letter to Cao Cao.
It was very gloomy that day.
Outside the tent, the cold wind blew the camp flag, and the horn hung on the wall of the village and looked at the tower. The sound was high and low, but it was a little more sorrowful than it was in the past.
Depressed and dreary atmosphere enveloped Cao Jun’s camps for several miles. The two armies rose and fell near the center line of the confrontation, but they were not noisy. They flew in groups, tearing and pecking at the thin soil and bones.
The temperature in Zhongjun’s tent is not much higher than that outside. The dry wood in the fireplace looks red and bright, but the heat is dissipated because the curtain is raised high.
Cao Cao’s face is getting thinner and thinner, his cheekbones are high and his forehead wrinkles are getting deeper and deeper with his eyebrows frowning. After reading Sun Xin, his face has been so serious. Since Liu Cong led his troops to the east, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have never relaxed their attention to the situation in Jiangdong.
It seems to Cao Cao that if Jingzhou and Jiangdong can fight each other, it would be best if one of them destroyed the other and became stronger. As a result, Cao Cao did not want to see Sun Chu’s family of Li Shu in Jiangdong instigated confrontation with Sun, who also wrote to Cao Cao to recite Li Shu’s sins. The implication was that Cao Cao was trying to stand by and let Cao Cao do nothing. At that time, it was impossible for Cao Cao to help Li Shu and Sun suddenly sent his troops to take Anhui City. Cao Cao also showed this favor. Although he was not happy, for Cao Cao Cao, the stronger Sun was, the more he could compete with Liu Cong.
However, after all these things, Cao Cao was awed. If the Jingzhou army did not go beyond the Jiangdong army and went deep into the Jiangdong war, it would be difficult. Even if it went well, it was estimated that it would cost a lot. However, Sun Jingzhou’s fierce offensive was defeated again and again, and now it is already a loss of the elite.
Although there are also reasons for Jingzhou army’s stratagem, it is undeniable that Jingzhou army has secured great strength and has gained an advantage in Jiangdong battlefield to suppress Jiangdong Army.
Then it’s not surprising that Sun wrote for help now.
"What should I do when I am filial?" Cao Cao hesitated at this time. He didn’t want to see bretz annexing Jiangdong. It was difficult for Jingzhou to make plans after its strength was greatly increased. However, its own strength was suppressed by Yuan Shao’s army. In early September, Cao Jun once took the initiative to attack Yuan Jun’s engagement, but it didn’t achieve any results and could retreat to the camp.
And Yuan Shao and his men built a building and piled up earth like a mountain. Arrows shot down Cao Cao’s good army. Now Cao Jun is also equipped with a large number of thunderbolts. After bombarding Yuan Jun’s building with dozens of pieces of dust, Yuan Jun dug a tunnel to attack Cao Jun, and also dug a long ditch to resist the attack of Yuan Jun.
Does Guo Jia know what Cao Cao thinks? If possible, it is best for Cao Cao to help Sun stabilize the situation in Jiangdong. However, since Yuan Shao’s war, Cao Jun has been short of food and exhausted, and the people are trapped in levying taxes, not to mention dividing their troops to help Sun Guandu. Everyone here feels very tight. These days, Cao Cao has not said anything, but he has revealed something that he wants to withdraw his troops and protect Xu.
"Now Jiangdong may be difficult to support. At this time, our army also urged him to take care of it, but it is not in line with the public will to annex Jiangdong by bretz." Guo Jia mused, "However, what Sun Shangyou lacks is to rectify the military period and fight again! Therefore, we may start from other places to help delay the Jingzhou army’s massive attack or make Sun Zaimian support it. "
Cao Cao stroked his beard and looked at Guo Jia slightly, then asked, "Where should I start in filial piety?"
"The generals will be Hanzhong Zhang Lu!" Guo Jia said, "Liu Bei led the troops in the north and then the generals fought for each other. Now, it is reported that the two sides of the Luoshui River have captured Hongnong Zhizhi, non-Xiaozhong Marten, Han Sui and other people. They all lost the battle and lost to the public, so that the generals in the south can attack Jingzhou without Liu Bei’s sharp edge and attack Jingzhou. At the same time, they sent an envoy to say that if the generals in Zhang Lu disobeyed orders, Zhang Lu sent his troops."
If he can achieve this plan without a single soldier of Cao Jun, Liu Cong will surely return to Li, which means that Jiang Dongwei has not solved the problem of Sun from the root, but this is exactly what Cao Cao wants to see.
Is it that, as Guo Jia said, the generals are likely to disobey orders, and the most promising thing is that Zhang Lu sends his troops to attack Jingzhou?
Marten, Han Sui and others have their roots in Yong and Liang States, so it is unacceptable for them to give up their inheritance to attack Nanyang even temporarily, not to mention that although they are now prostrating themselves to the court and sending their nephews into many capitals, Cao Cao knows how much binding force they can have. It is already very good to expect them to obey such orders without taking the opportunity to rebel or secretly seduce Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao rubbed some cold hands, got up and paced back and forth. A cold wind blew from outside the tent, and weak Mars flew out of the fireplace and soon went out into small black spots. According to Guo Jia’s remarks, if the tacit understanding between Liu Cong and Yuan Shao was unpredictable, would it attract Liu Cong to retaliate and fight back?
Weighing the advantages and disadvantages, Cao Cao unconsciously came to the outside of the account, and Guo Jia followed closely. Both of them were breathing the cold air in the early winter in the north, and their mood was quite heavy.
"As far as filial piety is concerned, it will be said that the generals and Zhang Lu will send troops to Jingzhou!" Cao Cao, however, said that it would be a pity if it was not a good opportunity to compete with bretz sooner or later.
☆, Chapter ninety-two Step by step, strive to break the way home.
In the morning, before the mist dissipated, a flag suddenly appeared in the fog as the flag bearer galloped. Although it was messy, it was particularly firm, and the ground moved with it, and the grass was crystal clear and the frost fell.
Since giving up the lakefront and turning to Xiang ‘an, Taishi Ci led his troops eastward for several times, and the Jingzhou army confronted each other, but both sides did not make efforts to go to Jingzhou. For the army, this was a delay in the marching speed of Jiang Dongjun, creating conditions for the army to encircle. For Taishi Ci, it was the last battle to ensure strength and decide life and death.
Deep behind enemy lines, reinforcements are based on hardships and hardships in the ground, and thousands of sentient beings have died. All kinds of pressures have not overwhelmed Taishi Ci, but have made him more and more brave and show his style as a famous general!
This is not a vast square inch. Taishi Ci seized the lakefront eastward from the headquarters and then flaunted a gun to pretend to cross the great river. When Jingzhou army tried to intercept it first, it suddenly jumped out of the north and seized hundreds of war horses and a batch of ordnance and hay again.
I told Sun and Zhu, two captains, that this time, Taishi Ci would stick to the city and wait for Sun to send troops from Jiujiang to rescue him. Taishi Ci went out of the city at night and held high the torch.
Thousands of troops swept away like fire dragons in the middle of the night and successfully broke through the thin defense line of Jingzhou Army. They stayed up all night and went straight to Xiang ‘an City. At this time, the defenders of Xiang ‘an City were stunned to see Jiang Dongjun fight out of the fog!
Taishi Ci’s goal, of course, will not be to attack Xiang ‘an and Xiang ‘an’s more than 5,000 defenders will naturally not easily let Taishi Ci and his men go from the east here.
There were more than 10,000 Jingzhou troops stationed outside Xiang ‘an, but there were few left-behind soldiers in each camp outside the old city. At this time, Xiang ‘an was the prefect of Yuzhang and the corps commander Huang Zhong, but he ordered the Qingqi camp. At this time, there were 3,000 other 2,000 troops in the city, which was Yang Fanshan and the Vietnamese army.
Knowing that Taishi Ci’s troops were approaching Huang Zhong outside the city, he knew that the other party had to bypass Xiang Andong, so he immediately lit up his troops and went out of the city to fight Yang Fan, but Huang Zhong stayed to defend the city.
Huang Zhong met Taishi Ci several times when he was in Youxian County. Although the two sides didn’t fight in the battle, they knew each other. Goodbye at this time, Huang Zhong almost didn’t recognize Taishi Ci. After more than a month of hard fighting, Taishi Ci lost a lot of weight, but his bright eyes were as sharp as ever.
Isn’t it necessary for an old friend to say more? Huang zhong flatters and goes out with a long knife pointing obliquely at the sky and then slamming forward!
With this simple move, the drums of Chengtou immediately sounded, and the soldiers of Qingqing Camp behind Huang Zhong also gently clamped the horse’s belly to fuel the horses, and the horses poured out like a flood, and the hooves were dense and dull, and they merged into thunder. Everyone’s heart rang heavily.
Most of Jiang Dongjun’s soldiers are in rags. Some people are still barefoot in such cold weather. They look sallow and emaciated, and they can be blown as if a cold wind blows. However, there seems to be a flame burning in their eyes. It’s desperate to forget life and death!
It is now at the end of life and death, so you can break through, otherwise you can become a cold corpse in this winter morning.
Not to shout and kill every soldier in Jiangdong is silent and clenched in his hand. In front of the sword, the knife and shield are raised, followed by the spearmen, who will frame the cold gun body. Their shoulders are sharp and their spears are dull, and there are still black dried blood …
Taishi Ci saw Jingzhou army hussars gradually accelerating their helmets, and the red tassels fluttered in the wind, which seemed to instantly blossom several scarlet flowers, and the horses rushed up and down.
Thousands of Jiang Dongjun didn’t have a scattered formation because of trying to detour. Actually, Taishi Ci had expected that if he didn’t beat the other side of this highly dynamic cavalry to the east, he would inevitably be pursued all the way. Even if Xiang’ an was bypassed, it would be impossible to return to Jiujiang County.
So this war is inevitable and Taishi Ci’s determination is equally firm.
It is not necessary for a pawn to fight against cavalry, but it is necessary for the commanding ability of the Lord and the psychological quality and combat ability of the pawn to keep a tight formation and the coordination of the sword soldiers and marines can also resist the cavalry attack hard.
Taishi Ci has brought thousands of troops here step by step, and has been trying to maintain the morale of the whole army through constant small-scale fighting, and it is still high. Everything is today’s battle!
During this period, Taishi Ci also constantly issued orders that the distribution schools led the troops into four phalanxes, while Taishi Ci personally led a thousand soldiers to form Zhongjun. Now Jingzhou Qingqi looks menacing from the front impact, but it will never really come in.
Sure enough, more than 1,000 fighters just rushed to the front of a captain Zhu’s phalanx, and they were divided into two teams and swept at high speed on both sides like rocks and waves. Although Jingzhou hussars seem to be very comfortable with such tactics, there are still knights who rushed too close to the phalanx when they turned around because of poor coordination of their horses.
"Hey, the law!" Can the soldiers of Jiangdong commander miss such a good opportunity to kill the enemy? When the transport force holds the gun tightly, it will suddenly stab the pike out! As soon as the war horse moaned, the knight was shot in the ribs and fell over, but he didn’t struggle to get up, so he was hugged by a nearby knife shield hand and chopped into a pool of meat.
However, such a small loss can’t change the Jingzhou cavalry to continue to attack. They split to both sides, and at the same time, they have already taken out bows and arrows. With the formation, Jiang Dongjun’s arrows spread on both sides of the formation, rising from the horse’s back and converging. Shooting arrows from the front looks like weaving a huge net from three directions, while Jiang Dongjun’s soldiers in the formation are shrouded in this huge net!
Taishi Ci looked at his eyes and shrank Jiang Dongjun’s current armor, so the arrow rain is extremely deadly.
With the rising of the morning sun, the whistling arrows reveal the first ray of sunshine, which is particularly cold and refreshing.
"Duh!" This is the sound of arrows slamming into the wood shield, and it keeps ringing like a bean! There are shields, and five or six arrows are inserted. The soldiers with shields are very powerful, and the impact is half kneeling on the ground, so that they can’t turn over.
"poof!" This is the sound after the arrow shoots into the human body, followed by the scream and blood soaring! Broken armor can only protect you, especially without a shield. The spearmen fell down in a short time.
"ding!" This was a collision when the sword and gun blocked the arrows, but one flew away, and then an overwhelming falling arrow made it impossible for Jiangdong soldiers in the array to prevent heavy casualties.
Because the focus of Jingzhou cavalry attack is the first phalanx led by a captain Zhu, the soldiers in Jiangdong appear to be particularly heavy casualties. The dead are lying on the ground, and the wounded are screaming and crying. The phalanx next to it is suddenly in chaos. Although it also receives waves, the casualties are small. If you want their support, you must stick to the past.
At this time, wandering in the two wings of Jiang Dongjun formation, Jingzhou fighters have turned their horses’ heads and re-knotted. This time, we will take advantage of the chaos to kill and completely defeat this first-line phalanx, such as Taishi Ci. It is this time that the big hand is raised and suddenly chopped down!
"Squeak" hides the archers in the square on both sides. Suddenly, the archers appear tight from behind the squatting knife shield hand. The bowstring makes a toothache, and the sharp arrow is pointing to the longitudinal horse galloping to Jingzhou Qingqi.
As the captains cut off the archers and relaxed the bowstring, the two-fingered crossbowman gently buckled the hanging knife …
A gust of wind and rain "swished" in the white tail feathers, a few slightly curved white lines were drawn and rushed to the front. Jingzhou Qingqi avoided being connected with people and horses and was suddenly shot into a hedgehog. At the same time, Jiang Dongjun’s formation moved! The foot soldiers marched firmly across the bodies of the dead, stepped on the arrows all over the ground, and hit the Jingzhou cavalry head-on with deafening drums!
When the number of people is dominant, the cavalry can be knocked down as well as the infantry!
However, Huang Zhong has no intention to play hardball. His eyes pass over the tall horse like an eagle from the battlefield. Only when the cold wind blows through his slightly silvery beard will it flutter with the wind. He commands the continuous division and closure of the formation of Jiang Dongjun. Every division indicates that a wave of arrows and rain will attack the enemy. Every closure will stop the progress of Jiang Dongjun.
Blood burns and scatters! Regardless of the enemy and the enemy!
