Text Chapter 394: Kicking Sun Quan¡¯s ass

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The veteran heard correctly. Their young general was planning to attack Ai County.

    Ai County, located at the westernmost end of Yuzhang County, is also the first county where the Xiushui river system begins.

    And this Yuzhang County is adjacent to Changsha County to which Jingzhou belongs. When Liu Biao was still ruling Jingzhou, his nephew Liu Pan repeatedly invaded Ai County and invaded Yuzhang County, but was defeated by Taishi Ci.

    This Yuzhang County has a sparse population and is not considered a wealthy place. It is not an extremely important county for Soochow.

    But the special thing about Yuzhang County is that Chaisang City originally belonged to this county.

    The Xiushui River flows from west to east, passing through Xi'an, Yongxiu and Haihun counties, and finally merges into Poyang Lake.

    ??And if you go north along Poyang Lake, you can enter the Yangtze River in a few days and reach the east of Chaisang.

    This means that if Wei Yan's army can successfully invade Yuzhang County, it will threaten to cut off the connection between Dongwu's 50,000-strong army and Jiangdong after cutting off Chaisang.

    This was exactly Jia Xu¡¯s plan for Yan Liang that day.

    Jia Xu knew very well that Yan Liang had twice invaded the hinterland of Chaisang from the 6-passage path and 6-passage route from the south. Therefore, when Sun Quan led his troops to advance westward, he would strictly deploy troops at the mountain passes in the south of Chaisang.  Be on guard.

    Jia Xu cleverly changed his thinking and suggested that Yan Liang send troops to attack Yuzhang instead and threaten the east of Chaisang from Yuzhang County.

    As long as Wei Yan's extraordinary army can invade Yuzhang County, Sun Quan will be afraid that the river route to Jiangdong will be cut off. Even if he does not withdraw his army immediately, he will definitely send troops south to aid Yuzhang County.

    At that time, Wei Yan did not need to continue attacking. As long as he held his troops and defended them, he could easily hold back a considerable number of Wu troops.

    As a result, Sun Quan's attack on Fankou will naturally be delayed when his troops are weakened.

    After weighing Jia Xu's proposal, Yan Liang made a decisive decision and let Wei Yan complete the surprise attack.

    Except for senior counselors and generals such as Yan Liang and Wei Yan, ordinary officers and soldiers have no way of knowing this strategy.  As for the seven thousand soldiers under Wei Yan, from the moment they came out, they had always thought that they would take six small passes to attack the south of Chaisang.

    It was only then that Wei Yan revealed the mystery to them.

    The soldiers who were suddenly enlightened had no time to taste the surprise and did not take a long rest.  Wei Yan then ordered the entire army to march out again.

    Wei Yan knew it very well.  In order to prevent being deceived for the third time, the Wu people would inevitably place many detailed operations in the Mufu Mountain area to detect the movements of their own troops at any time.

    Perhaps, at this moment, the Wu people's meticulous work has discovered their traces and is sending the intelligence Pegasus to Sun Quan.

    What Wei Yan had to do was to change his route immediately and cross the mountains before Sun Quan knew the true target of his attack.  With lightning speed and cover, they entered Yuzhang County.

    The seven thousand officers and soldiers of the Yan family did not have time to think too much. As iron-blooded soldiers, they did not need to use their brains. All they had to do was to obey unconditionally.

    The whole army moved quickly and it took three hours.  Just crossed the mountain ridge to the east.

    Soon after, the Xiushui River came into view, and Wei Yan led his army to continue eastward along the river valley. The farther east, the flatter and open the terrain became, and the march speed also accelerated.

    When there was only the last ray of rays left in the setting sun, Wei Yan was in sight.  The target city finally appeared.

    Ai County, a small county in the west of Yuzhang County, is now lying quietly on the bank of Xiushui River, bathing in the setting sun.  Just as she was about to fall into the embrace of the night, she had no idea that there were a group of hungry beasts a few miles away, staring at her with fierce eyes.

    "After walking on the mountain road for so many days, he finally arrived!"

    At this moment, Wei Yan felt so happy, and Xun Xun's murderous intent was burning in his eyes.

    Behind him, the seven thousand soldiers of the Yan Army were covered in sweat, dressed in rags, and were as tired as dogs. Their eyes also flashed with excitement and fierceness.

    "Brothers, Ai County is ahead of us. There are many good wines and meats in the city, and some are pretty women. Follow me and fight into the city¡ª¡ª"

    Wei Yan roared angrily, and flew out with his horse and sword like the wind.

    Good wine, good meat, a fair-skinned wife

    What else can better arouse the fighting spirit of such a tired army than these things? Seven thousand warriors burst out like hungry beasts, following Wei Yansha towards Ai City.

    ¡­¡­

    A few miles away, Ai County.

    On the top of the city, the young general was listlessly patrolling the city.

      The name of the young general is Taishi Xiang, the son of Taishi Ci, the general of Wu Dynasty in the east.

    When Liu Pan repeatedly invaded Yuzhang and no one could stop it, Sun Quan appointed Taishi Ci as the captain of Jianchang, giving him jurisdiction over the counties of Ai, Xi'an, Jianchang and Haihun to deal with Liu Pan's invasion.

    Jiangdong soldiers were privately owned. After Taishi Ci was ordered to be transferred to Shouchun, he took most of the tribes with him. The remaining less than 800 tribes were commanded by Taishi Xiang, who was stationed in Ai County to defend Yuzhang County for Soochow.  Western Frontier.

    When Liu Pan was defeated by Taishi Ci, he did not dare to attack Yuzhang again. But as Liu Pan was killed by Yan Liang, Jingzhou

    With the change of ownership and Yan Liang's shift of focus to the north, Changsha County's threat to Yuzhang decreased sharply.

    For many years, Yuzhang County has never suffered an invasion from Jingzhou.

    Therefore, guarding Ai County can be said to be a real leisure job for Tai Shixiang.

    Holding his sword and standing on the top of the city, looking at the setting sun, Taishi Xiang sighed softly and murmured: "I have been idle here all day long. I don't know when I will be able to lead the army to fight the enemy, make great achievements like my father, and open up the territory for the Lord."  Tuotu"

    Tai Shixiang sighed melancholy. Obviously, as a famous general, he did not like this idle job.

    The sun is setting in the west, and another boring day is about to pass.

    Tai Shixiang sighed with emotion for a while, and after settling down his duties, he was ready to turn around and go down to the city.

    And just when he turned around and before one foot stepped on the inclined ladder, suddenly, he seemed to hear something strange in his ears.

    Tai Shixiang instinctively pricked up his ears, turned around slowly, and returned to the battlements.

    The strange sound came from the west. Looking for the sound, he raised his head and raised his eyes to the west, looking suspiciously.

    At the end of the avenue, there seemed to be a vague dust mist coming.

    Tai Shixiang's body shook slightly, and an ominous feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

    The dust mist was getting closer and closer, approaching in a moment, and the originally subtle sound turned into a loud sound like the earth was shattering.

    In the dust and mist, countless figures emerged from it like ghosts. The flag fluttering in the wind had the word "Wei" written clearly on it.

    "It's YanYan Jun!"

    Tai Shixiang¡¯s head buzzed, and boundless terror instantly hit his body like a tide.

    Yan Liang¡¯s army was not all gathered in Fankou to deal with the attack of the 60,000-strong army led by the lord himself. How could it suddenly appear in Ai County?

    " Moreover, looking at the densely packed enemy figures, there are six to seven thousand in number.

    How could such an army elude careful reconnaissance and appear in Ai County like divine soldiers descending from the sky?  Why didn't Chai Sang give any reminder?

    Tai Shixiang¡¯s mind was flooded with countless questions in an instant, but he had no time to ask because the fierce enemy tide was already coming like a strong wind.

    Seven thousand soldiers of the Yan family army rushed to the city in the blink of an eye.

    Tai Shixiang, who was looking forward to killing the enemy and making meritorious deeds, faced the enemy that he actually killed. He could only panic and scold his equally panicked subordinates to resist the enemy who was killing them like a tiger and a wolf.

    Outside the city, Wei Yan was sneering ferociously.

    "Everything is as the lord expected. The Wu people in Ai County were really unprepared. Today, it is finally time for me, Wei Yan, to make a contribution, hehe."

    Amidst the sneers, Wei Yan raised his sword and shouted, commanding his wolf-like soldiers to rush towards the city head from all directions without hesitation.

    The city defense of Ai County was originally considered strong, but due to Tai Shixiang's neglect of defense, there were only more than 400 soldiers and horses on the city at the moment, while the number of soldiers and horses facing Wei Yan's main attack direction in Xicheng was less than 200.  How could the pitifully small number of troops resist Wei Yanjun's attack.

    The scattered arrows seemed to tickle Yan Jun, and they were unable to stop these tiger and wolf warriors from charging.

    More than 7,000 people each held a bundle of firewood and threw it into the moat. In a blink of an eye, the trench, which was several feet deep, was filled. Soldiers and soldiers crossing the moat began to climb the city wall like a tide.

    Although there were no formal siege equipment such as ladders, Wei Yan did not bring a large number of flying hooks with him on this trip. Hundreds of iron claws were hooked on the city wall. Thousands of people followed the line of the city wall for more than a hundred steps and launched an all-out attack.  , how can they cope with the mere two hundred Wu troops in the city?

    In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Yan Jun warriors rushed to the top of the city and started a melee with the Wu army at the top of the city. However, the Wu army, who had no time to spare, could only allow more and more enemy troops to climb up the city. Even though Taishi enjoyed  Relying on his martial arts skills, he killed several enemies in succession.??, it can't stop this huge momentum of climbing the city.

    With a loud rumbling sound, the suspension bridge had been cut down, and the west gate of Ai County was also opened by Yan Jun from the inside. A large number of Yan Jun outside the city began to surge towards the gate like a tide.

    Seeing this situation, Taishi Xiang knew that the situation was over. If he continued to carry on, he would die here today.

    He didn¡¯t have time to think too much, so he rushed down to the top of the city, turned his horse onto the main road, and tried to escape to the east of the city.

    Just when he failed to urge the horse in time, it was too late.

    At the wide-open city gate, countless Yan troops roared in like tigers and wolves, and Wei Yan was even more unstoppable, harvesting heads wantonly.

    Looking up, he suddenly saw Tai Shixiang trying to escape not far away. Wei Yan, without saying a word, jumped on his horse, wielded his sword, and rushed forward like lightning.

    The long knife in his hand, carrying an extremely powerful force, struck Tai Shixiang head-on like a raging wave.

    The enemy attack came so fast that Tai Shixiang couldn't dodge in time.

    As a famous general, his ambition seemed to be aroused at this time. He raised his sword eyebrows, mustered up the courage, raised his sword, and tried his best to block it.

    Amidst the loud shouts, Wei Yan's sword struck down wildly.
