- The 30,000 naval troops pursued directly down the river, while the 10,000 infantry troops led by Zhang Liao, after receiving Yan Liangna's order to advance, immediately led 10,000 infantry troops across the river and marched along the south bank, heading towards Chaisang. om¥ì♠¥ì
After this bloody battle, Sun Quan lost nearly 20,000 naval troops, and more than 500 battleships were damaged. It was a disastrous defeat.
Sun Quan and his 10,000 defeated troops retreated along the river, while Yan Liang's army followed several miles away and pursued them all the way to the Chaisang River.
At this time, Chaisang still had 15,000 Wu troops led by Sun Yu, but most of the troops were deployed along the line of Mufu Pass in the south to cope with the attacks of Huang Zhong and Samoko.
Sun Quan was defeated so hastily that he had no time to notify Sun Yu. When he passed through Chaisang City, he was unable to receive any response, so he did not dare to flee into the city for fear of being surrounded by Yan Liang's army that followed.
So Sun Quan Qian simply abandoned Chaisang and continued to flee eastward along the river. He fled to the Hukou Fortress downstream of Chaisang in one breath.
Sun Quan could cross Chaisang without entering, but Yan Liang could not. In order to prevent the Wu army from cutting off the river route, Yan Liang suspended his pursuit of Sun Quan, and 30,000 naval troops landed ashore and took Chaisang City directly.
At this time, Sun Yu had just learned the news that Sun Quan was defeated and fled to Hukou.
The frightened Sun Yu knew that Chai Sang could no longer defend Chai Sang, so he planned to abandon the city and flee eastward with Sun Quan, but he did not expect Yan Jun to arrive too quickly. When he led his army to the river bank, Yan Jun had already captured the water stronghold.
In desperation, Sun Yu could only lead more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, fled to Chaisang City in a hurry, and stayed behind closed doors.
Yan Liang's 30,000 troops arrived immediately and quickly completed the siege of Chaisang City. A few days later, Zhang Liao's 10,000 infantry troops and Huang Zhong's 15,000 infantry troops also arrived at Chaisang.
Yan Liang's land and sea army, totaling more than 50,000 men, surrounded Chaisanggu City completely.
¡The generals gathered in the Chinese army¡¯s tent.
A strong atmosphere of victory filled the tent, and the tent was filled with excitement.
The curtain was lifted, and Yan Liang, who had inspected Chaisang City, walked into the military tent with his head held high.
The generals, whose faces were full of excitement, were happy to receive the gift, and all of them were full of respect for Yan Liangshi.
"Sun Quan fled to Hukou. Chaisang City is now an isolated city. If you have any opinions, please feel free to speak freely." Yan Liang said loudly with a smile.
Zhang Liao came out first, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, Wu's navy has suffered heavy losses and it is difficult to compete with our army on the river. Chaisang City is the place guarding the throat of the Yangtze River. If we do not capture it, our army will not be able to compete with our army on the river." Don't worry about taking Yangzhou eastward. The general will think that now we should concentrate our forces and capture Chaisang City with all our strength."
After Zhang Liaofang left, Huang Zhong also said: "Chaisang City has not been built for a long time, and its defenses are far less strong than those of the 1st City. If our army can deploy more thunderbolt chariots and other powerful siege weapons from the rear, we will not be able to get out under siege from all sides." In ten days, I believe we will be able to break the city."
The two generals advocated attacking the city immediately, and the other generals such as Gan Ning also advocated attacking the city.
It¡¯s no wonder that after their victory at Fankou, their morale and confidence have reached their peak, so how can they take a mere Chaisang City in their eyes?
Among the agitated generals, only Lu Meng remained silent.
"Ziming, what do you think?" Yan Liang asked with a smile.
Lu Meng paused and said slowly: "Sun Yu is quite capable of using troops here. Besides, there are more than 15,000 Wu troops in the city. In the end, he has no doubts about whether our army can capture Chaisang City." , but I think it¡¯s impossible to capture it in a short time.¡±
Ling Tong also said: "What Ziming said is true. Sun Yu is still somewhat capable. We should not underestimate the enemy just because of a big victory."
Lu Meng and Ling Tong were both Wu generals, so they naturally had the most say in the details of the Soochow generals. When he said this, the agitated and arrogant generals immediately calmed down a little.
In the big tent, it became quiet for a while.
A slight cough broke the silence. Jia Xu, who had been silent, seemed to have something to say.
"Wen He, tell me what you think." Yan Liang asked, waving his hand.
Jia Xu gently stroked his beard and said unhurriedly: "I think Chaisang will naturally be captured. It would be best if we can capture it as soon as possible. Even if we can't defeat it quickly, it will actually be beneficial to our army."
Yan Liang¡¯s head moved, and he had some vague speculations, but he said: ¡°How can I say this?¡±
"If Chaisang City is not destroyed for a day, Sun Quan will not be able to give up. He will inevitably continue to mobilize troops and food in an attempt to rescue the trapped Wu army. This is equivalent to constantly consuming Wu Jin's strength. At present, Sun Quan's vitality is seriously injured. If Losing food, grass, soldiers and horses for Chaisang City is just adding insult to injury. Isn't this what the lord would like to see???
Hearing what Jia Xu said, Yan Liang nodded slightly, deeply convinced.
According to what Jia Xu said, Yan Liang can turn Chaisang City into a bottomless pit, forcing Sun Quan to continuously invest his remaining strength into it bit by bit. This will naturally be of great benefit to Yan Liang's next move to Jiangdong. One harm.
If Sun Quan refuses to use up his strength for Chai Sang and completely abandons Sun Yu and his 15,000 soldiers, this will be a serious loss to Sun Quan's prestige.
No matter what, besieging Chaisang is a good thing for Yan Liang.
Thinking of this, Yan Liangteng stood up and punched the map with his fist, "Very good, Mr. Yi Wenhe, we will turn Chai Sang into a piece of Sun Quan's chicken ribs and disgust him."
The order to besiege the city was issued, and nearly 50,000 Yan troops quickly surrounded Chaisang into a formation of iron barrels.
In order to cut off the waterway connection between Chaisang and the outside world, Yan Liang ordered Gan to command the vehicle and boat troops and stationed them in the water village east of Chaisang to block reinforcements from Hukou.
Sun Quan, who retreated to Hukou, lost 20,000 troops and could only hold more than 10,000 remnant troops. The frightened Sun Quan was afraid that Yan Liang would take the opportunity to go east, so he urgently flew Lu Su to come for reinforcements.
Lu Su, who was besieging Aixian County, was naturally horrified when he heard the news of Sun Quan's defeat. He had to withdraw from the siege of Aixian County and led more than 10,000 troops to help Hukou, while Dong Xi and his five troops were left behind. Qian was stationed in Xi'an County downstream of Xiushui to prevent Wei Yan, who had relieved the siege, from taking advantage of the situation to attack the hinterland of Yuzhang from the south.
Although Sun Quan had Lu Su come to join him, how could he dare to fight Yan Liang with only 20,000 soldiers and horses? He could only temporarily stay in Hukou while he went to Jiangdong to recruit young men and reorganize a new army.
Sun Quan did not dare to march. In order to give hope to Sun Yu's army who stayed behind at Chaisang, he sent dead soldiers to sneak into the city and ordered Sun Yu to stand firm and wait for reinforcements.
¡A heavy snowfall passed by, the temperature dropped sharply, and the weather of Chai Sang entered the coldest period of winter.
Ten days have passed since the siege of the city, and Chaisang City has been without food for more than three days.
Chaisang City¡¯s food and grass are basically supplied by Jiangdong water transport. Now that the city is besieged and the food roads are cut off, the nearly 50,000 soldiers and civilians in the city can only survive on the few stored grains.
The cost of 50,000 yuan is so huge. If the siege is less than ten days of food and grass, it will naturally be exhausted long ago.
When the food and grass were exhausted, Sun Yu could only order the slaughter of horses and cattle to satisfy hunger, but this did not alleviate the shortage of food and grass in the city. After a few days, the hungry soldiers and civilians began to chew tree bark and eat rats. Refuse to let go.
And this sudden heavy snowfall is nothing short of adding insult to injury to Chaisang City. The hungry soldiers and people are suffering severe mental and physical damage from the severe cold.
Yan Liang naturally knew the situation in the city very well. After the heavy snow, he quickly launched a powerful psychological warfare offensive.
Yan Liang first ordered the slaughter of chickens and sheep, and ordered the soldiers to cook or roast them upwind of Chaisang City, so that the scent of the meat would drift into the city with the wind, seducing the hungry defenders and people.
At the same time, Yan Liang fired thousands of surrender letters into the city, persuading the soldiers and civilians in the city to stop resisting needlessly, offering Sun Yu's head, and surrendering to the city.
Under the dual stimulation of hunger and inducement to surrender, Chaisang City's heart soon became turbulent. In the following days, almost every day, soldiers from Wu crossed the city to surrender at the risk of falling to death.
Moreover, the number of people returning from across the city has grown from a few dozen at the beginning to hundreds and hundreds, and the number is increasing day by day.
Yan Liang comforted the surrendered soldiers with good food and drink, and then sent them to take turns shouting at the four gates of Chaisang to persuade their companions to leave the city and surrender.
Faced with Yan Liang¡¯s powerful psychological warfare offensive, Sun Yu could only form an inspection team composed of his own troops, which patrolled the four city walls every day to strictly block those who attempted to surrender across the city. Anyone caught would be beheaded in public display.
Although Sun Yu took tough measures, the hungry people had to risk their lives in order to survive, even at the risk of beheading. Sun Yu could not stop them at all.
Twenty days after the siege, Chaisang City was on the verge of collapse.
On the top of the city, the red dress is as bright as fire, and the pair of clear eyes are watching quietly outside the city.
More than a hundred steps away, Yan Jun was setting up a stove on the snow, cooking mutton. The aroma of the meat came with the wind and hit her nose.
Sun Shangxiang heard a gurgling sound, and she knew it was her stomach twitching.
The thin-faced female soldiers on the left and right were also secretly licking their lips and swallowing their saliva. Hunger surged crazily on their handsome faces.move.
Sun Shangxiang tried his best to suppress the feeling of hunger, trying to use his mental strength to overwhelm his desire.
However, she soon discovered that all her efforts were in vain. The instinct of hunger seemed to be implanted in her soul, causing her extreme pain all the time.
Looking at the Yanjun camp outside the city from a distance, Sun Shangxiang gritted his teeth secretly, with hatred evident in his face.
She originally came to Chaisang just for fun, wanting to experience her brother's great cause of conquering Yan Liang and devouring Jingzhou.
She has even been dreaming about it for a long time. She can¡¯t wait to see Yan Liang¡¯s head with her own eyes and see what kind of face that legendary thing looks like.
But she never dreamed that all her dreams would be shattered overnight.
Her brother was defeated and fled, but she, the daughter of the Sun family, was now surrounded in this isolated city, suffering from hunger.
"Yan Liang, I, Sun Shangxiang, will never surrender to you, never"
