- Liu Qi sent troops. first serve
Instead of sending troops to Xiakou, we sent troops to Xiangyang.
This latest intelligence claimed that Liu Qi, with his general Huang Zhong as the vanguard, sent 10,000 troops to march towards Xiangyang along the land route, and the troops had already reached Dangyang City.
"Xiakou was being besieged by the Wu people. Liu Qi was afraid of conflict with the Wu people, so he did not dare to go eastward along the Yangtze River. However, in order to show Sun Quan that he was not just waiting to see success or failure, he sent troops to attack Xiangyang."
After Xu Shu read the information, he revealed Liu Qi¡¯s intention in one sentence.
Seeing Yan Liang frown slightly, Xu Shu smiled and comforted him again: "The generals under Liu Qi are nothing more than Huang Zu Liu Pan, and Huang Zhong is just an unknown old disciple. It is enough for Wen Chang and Zi to guard Xiangyang. My lord does not need to be too much." Too worried.¡±
Hearing Xu Shu say that Huang Zhong was a nobody, Yan Liang secretly shook his head.
Even if Liu Qi personally led the army to attack, Yan Liang would not frown. The person who made him feel troublesome was Huang Zhong.
As a subordinate of Liu Pan, Huang Zhong has only been active in the four counties of Jingnan for a long time. These four counties are regarded as barbaric areas in the Central Plains. Even Xu Shu, who is in Jingzhou, does not pay much attention to him.
And Huang Zhong is in Changsha, and the battles in his life are nothing more than trivial battles such as quelling the local rebellion. Besides, he is old, so he will naturally not be taken seriously.
Yan Liang is familiar with history, but he also knows how great the veteran Huang Zhong is.
This man is known as one of the Five Tiger Generals of the Shu Han Dynasty. His martial arts skills are comparable to those of Guan and Zhang, who are thousands of enemies. Even Yan Liang has no absolute confidence that he can overwhelm this veteran general in martial arts.
This Huang Zhong entered Shu under Liu Bei. Even in the battle to capture Hanzhong, he opened up territory and made great contributions. He even killed famous generals such as Xia Houyuan in the battle of Dingjun Mountain.
How can such a famous general be described as an "unknown old disciple"?
Xu Shu didn¡¯t know how powerful Huang Zhong was, but Yan Liang couldn¡¯t ignore it.
The person currently guarding Xiangyang is Wei Yan. Although he is a general with great talent and potential, he is still young and his martial arts and military skills may not be what Huang Zhongzhi is capable of. Chapter Anti-Theft Chapter Therefore, Yan Liang was a little worried about Huang Zhong's attack.
After pondering for a moment, Yan Liang said: "This old man Huang Zhong should not be underestimated. I immediately dispatched three thousand troops and horses back to Xiangyang, and strictly ordered Wei Wenchang and others to guard the city and not go out to fight without permission."
Xiangyang has 7,000 soldiers, and this time the additional troops will reach 10,000. Xiangyang's defense has been strengthened, but Wancheng's soldiers and horses only have more than 12,000 soldiers, but they have to face Yuan Tan soon. The madness comes to attack.
The generals were a little surprised to see that Yan Liang valued Huang Zhong so much, and Xu Shu also looked surprised.
Yan Liang said: "Although there are few soldiers in Wancheng, I am here personally. I can control everything. Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses are coming fiercely, and there are masters behind him to give guidance. How can we rest assured if we don't strengthen Xiangyang's troops?" "
"There are other experts" as Yan Liang said. It's obviously alluding to Zhuge Liang.
Although Wei Yan also had counselors like Xu You around him, in Yan Liang's view, Xu You's strategy was still far behind Zhuge Liang's.
Xu Shu heard the implication of Yan Liang's words and suddenly realized it. He immediately stopped objecting to Yan Liang's increase in troops to Xiangyang.
On the same day, three thousand infantry troops marched south from Wancheng. Under the leadership of Liu Pi, they rushed to Xiangyang on a rapid march.
¡¡
The flames of war are rising in Xiangyang, and peace is not peaceful in Xiakou.
At the top of Xiakou City, Xiakou Lingman Chong was wearing armor and looking sharply outside the city.
This is already the tenth day of Wu Jun¡¯s siege.
Fifty thousand Wu troops and a thousand warships, under the command of commander-in-chief Zhou Yu, set out from Chaisang and went westward along the Yangtze River. All the counties in Jiangxia along the river were like broken bamboos, and all the counties in Jiangxia fell into the wind.
Wu Jun completed the siege of Xiakou City in almost two days.
Zhou Yu divided the navy into two groups. One group was led by the veteran Han Dang and entered Hanjin Ferry on the upper reaches of the Han River to block Gan Ning's navy from going south. The other branch, led by Lu Dai, arrived at Lukou west of Xiakou to prevent Liu Qi's army in Jiangling from advancing eastward. \\\\
After completing various deployments, Zhou Yu surrounded Xiakou City into an iron barrel formation with 40,000 troops, and launched attacks day and night.
Huang Gai, Ling Tong, Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, Pan Zhang, Sun Kuang
These powerful generals from Soochow all gathered under the city, led their respective troops, and launched a crazy attack on Xiakou City.
However, after ten days of siege, not a single Wu man could reach the top of Xiakou City.
Man Chong relied on his seven thousand lone army to tenaciously block the waves of Wu people.Attack wildly.
Man Chong's tenacity angered Zhou Yu. After two days of rest, he decided to launch the most violent attack this morning.
At this moment, in the south direction of Xiakou City, the Wu people began to gather again.
The dazzling military flag was blown by the river wind, forming one wave after another.
The densely packed soldiers came overwhelmingly, like countless ants.
The sharp edge of the spear and halberd pointing towards the sky reflects the faint cold light, and the patches are like a forest of death.
Farther away, one after another, trebuchets are being pushed out from the enemy's stronghold, slowly moving towards Xiakou City. By counting, there are more than a hundred of them.
Seeing the huge military strength of the Wu people, the officers and soldiers of the Yan army who had experienced the hard battle couldn't help but change their colors slightly.
"Sir, the Wu army is powerful, should we ask for help from the lord?" The general next to him whispered to Man Chong.
Man Chong snorted coldly, "Wu people are so capable, is it worth it for me to ask the lord for help?"
His words were full of disdain, as if he didn't even pay attention to the mighty Wu army outside the city.
In fact, Manchong had some unavoidable difficulties in his heart.
Before the war started, Yan Liang had already told him: The only soldiers and horses I can give you are these seven thousand. There will be no more reinforcements. You can only rely on yourself to defend until I defeat Yuan Tan and command the army. Until going south.
At this moment, Yan Liang was fighting Yuan Tan's 40,000 troops in Wancheng. Under such circumstances, Man Chong would never allow Xiakou, which he was guarding, to hinder Yan Liang's overall deployment.
The sound of war drums roared, and while thinking, the Wu people's siege had begun.
Man Chong did not dare to be distracted anymore, drew his sword in his hand, and said sternly: "The whole army is ready to meet the enemy. Anyone who dares to take a step back will be dealt with according to the military law!"
Man Chong was known for his strict adherence to the law. His words were by no means threatening. When the officers and soldiers heard it, their spirits suddenly became solemn. They suppressed the fears in their hearts and prepared for battle.
Amidst the rumbling of war drums, Wu Jun's catapult was the first to launch an attack.
Stones the size of human heads roared towards the city. The soldiers defending the city took shelter under the female wall to avoid this powerful attack.
A stone bullet flew three steps away from Man Chong's left and hit the tower, shattering the heavy window into pieces.
Man Chong stood there, not moving at all, not showing the slightest hint of fear.
More and more stone bullets flew up to the top of the city like meteors. Under the heavy blows to the city head, which was made of earth and stone, debris flew into the wall, and cracks appeared one after another.
"However, Xiakou City was carefully built by Huang Zu and was extremely solid. How could it be destroyed by a few stone bullets? Moreover, this powerful long-range weapon, although extremely lethal, had limited accuracy.
After half an hour of violent bombing, in addition to psychologically deterring Yan Jun at the head of the city, the trebuchet did not cause any substantial blow to the enemy.
With the change of the drum sound, the trebuchet attack ended, and the Wu people's real attack began.
Thousands of Wu troops in the front army moved with a roar. The shield bearers held up large rafts at an angle to cover the front. They were followed by hundreds of toad carts. This kind of wooden cart was shaped like a toad lying on the ground and was filled with soil. A device used to fill the moat.
Seeing this, Man Chong hurriedly ordered the soldiers hiding under the female wall to stand up, and the crossbowmen quickly fired arrows to block the enemy's advance.
Locust-like arrows rained down. Although Wu Jun's giant shield was large, it could not completely block the arrows. As they approached the city, more and more Wu Jun were exposed to the angle of the arrows. Screams sounded from time to time, some people were falling to the ground, and some were howling.
After paying more than a hundred lives, the trench-filling team finally arrived at the trench and pushed toad carts into the trench one after another.
At the Central Military Department, Zhou Yu saw this and shouted: "Come on first and attack!"
The yellow flag waved, and the sound of war drums changed from slow to fast.
The advance team composed of 4,000 people rushed out shouting.
The Wu army of more than 4,000 people, carrying more than a hundred hooks and ladders, crossed the open space in front of the city for more than a hundred steps at the speed of a charge. They crossed the trench with arrows fired from the city head and met up with the trench-filling team who had arrived one step earlier.
At the same time, more than a thousand crossbowmen who followed closely began to shoot towards Yan Jun at the top of the city to suppress the arrow strikes on the city.
Under the cover of their own crossbowmen, the Wu troops under the city quickly erected a hook ladder. The Wu troops who were the first to board the team rose up and climbed toward Xiakou City.
"Fight back, fight back immediately, never let the enemy get to the city."
Man Chong walked back and forth on the front line of the city, holding a sword and shouting loudly to order the soldiers to fight back.
These officers and soldiers of the Yan family braved the rain of arrows shot from the city. Some used poles to knock down the enemy's hook ladders, and some threw Luo Shimu down to hit the enemies who were climbing up.
Large chunks of rocks rolled down, and screams came one after another. Those Wu people who were knocked down were all bloody and bloody when they fell to the ground.
And the hot molten iron poured down, and everyone who was poured on it had their whole body burned and turned into a pile of bones in the blink of an eye.
The Wu people all fought bravely and attacked fiercely despite heavy obstacles. Some even climbed to the top of the city, but Man Chong personally led his army and surrounded them and killed them alive.
The fighting lasted from early morning to noon. There were mountains of corpses along the city line, but Xiakou City still stood firm.
Unable to defeat the enemy, the Wu people's fighting spirit was at the end of their strength, and their offensive was getting weaker and weaker.
At the Central Military Department, Zhou Yu, who had been watching the battle for a long time, had a complicated expression on his handsome face.
It was both resentment and surprise.
He seemed unable to believe that this unprecedented fierce attack under his personal command was once again stubbornly carried by the enemy.
"Yan Liang, I didn't expect that you, a husband, would have such a good guard under your command. Damn it, damn it"
Zhou Yu secretly gritted his teeth, but there was a hint of helplessness in his words of hatred.
At the top of the city, the broken flag with the word "Man" was still flying proudly in the wind. (Welcome, your support is my biggest motivation.) - Didn't finish reading?
