- The river wind was blowing, and countless Wu army warships were speeding along the river without any structure. They were afraid that if they were a step slower, they would be overtaken by Yan Liangjun.
From Wankou to this point, the defeated Wu army had escaped for more than three hundred miles. After running desperately, they finally opened a distance of more than ten miles from the pursuing Yan army.
??Further ahead, Ruxukou is located in the north of the Yangtze River. After passing Ruxukou and then going eastward for dozens of miles, you will find the Wuhu Fortress on the south bank of the Yangtze River.
Once Wuhu is lost, Moling City will no longer have a barrier.
Ruxukou is an important water mouth leading to Huainan. Sun Quan had carefully managed it in the early days. Later, as Huainan had already entered, the camp was gradually abandoned.
The Wuhu Fortress is the last line of defense of Moling City, so Sun Quan has always attached great importance to it since he moved his headquarters to Moling.
Standing on the bow of the ship, Lu Su was thinking about retreating the more than 20,000 troops to the Wuhu Fortress. With the strength of the fortress, he could at least block Yan Jun's attack until the world changes.
While I was thinking about it, I saw Zhou Yu's flagship sailing through the chaotic escape formation and approaching my own ship.
Lu Su knew that Zhou Yu must question himself, and now, he had no choice but to face it.
The two warships were getting closer and closer. Zhou Yu and Lu Su stood on the bow of the ship and could even see each other's expressions.
"Lu Zijing, as the right commander, you retreated before the battle, and the army was fatally defeated. Do you know your guilt?" Zhou Yu, who was holding his sword, asked sternly.
Lu Su's expression was calm and he cupped his hands and said: "Gong Jin, our army has clearly fallen into Yan Liang's trick of luring the enemy. If we fight to the death and refuse to retreat, our entire army will be annihilated. Then the whole Jiangdong will be in danger. What I did was just I just want to save some strength for my lord to make a comeback."
Lu Su¡¯s defense is not unreasonable.
Zhou Yu¡¯s face was ashen, and his eyes flashed with complicated expressions.
Seeing that Zhou Yu was silent, Lu Su thought he had been persuaded, so he hurriedly said: "Gong Jin, although our army is defeated now, we still have 20,000 soldiers and horses. Why not go straight to Wuhu Fortress and just follow the example of the previous defense?" With these tactics, I believe we will be able to curb Yan Liang¡¯s eastward invasion.¡±
Zhou Yu was silent, seeming to be in hesitation.
Lu Su was a little anxious. At this point in his mind, anyone with a discerning eye knew that the most important thing was to defend Wuhu and Moling. There was no need to hesitate.
"If the whole army goes to guard Wuhu and Ruxukou falls into Yan Liang's hands, Huainan will be in danger." After a long silence, Zhou Yu said
"There are still more than ten thousand soldiers in Huainan, and there is a strong city in Hefei. Even if Yan Liang gets Ruxukou, it will not be easy to capture Huainan. Besides, as long as we can hold Wuhu and keep the east of the Yangtze River, we can coordinate with the north and south of Huainan. Yan Liang is facing the danger of being attacked from both sides, so this is the best solution."
Lu Su used a slightly hoarse voice to explain his interests to Zhou Yu.
His earnest words were rewarded with a disdainful sneer from Zhou Yu.
"In this case, Zijing will guard Wuhu, and I will guard Huainan, which will coincide with your north and south." Zhou Yu said loudly.
Lu Su's expression changed greatly when he heard this. You must know that with the current strength of the Wu army, it is absolutely impossible to protect both Moling and Huainan. Only by concentrating troops can we ensure safety.
If Zhou Yu goes to defend Huainan now, he will inevitably divide his troops, and how can he ensure that Wuhu is not lost with this division of troops.
Lu Su was shocked in his heart. When he was waiting for urgent advice, Zhou Yu had already sneered and said: "Since Zijing has gained the trust of the lord, I believe he will not let down the trust of the lord. Let's say goodbye and take care of each other."
With that said, Zhou Yu said no more and ordered the ship to turn around and head towards Ruxukou in the north direction of the river.
Hundreds of warships and more than ten thousand soldiers loyal to Zhou Yu also turned and followed Zhou Yu to the north of the river.
Seeing Zhou Yu take away half of the troops, Lu Su suddenly realized that Zhou Yu had parted ways with him and ignored the safety of Moling. This time, he truly had the determination to stand on his own in Huainan. .
However, at this time, Lu Su was helpless.
Looking at the big banner with the word "Zhou" in the distance, Lu Su sighed and had no choice but to lead Huang Gai, Zhou Tai and other more than 10,000 soldiers and horses loyal to Sun Quan to continue to retreat to the Wuhu Fortress on the south bank of the river.
¡¡
Five miles south of Wan County, Yan Jun¡¯s camp is located.
Zhang Liao's 10,000 soldiers and horses, plus Yan Liang's 3,000 Tiger Guards, and Yan's army of 13,000 people, surrounded the Lujiang seat.
Because it was Zhou Yu who raided Hukou and took away almost all the soldiers and horses. At this time, the Wu army guarding Wan County only had Jiang Qin's thousand soldiers and horses and hundreds of soldiers and horses left.Just soldiers.
Jiang Qin, who was retreating to Wan County, was originally afraid of being surrounded by Yan Liang's army and planned to continue looking north to retreat. However, he did not expect that Yan Liang had already made arrangements. As soon as he entered the city with his front foot, Zhang Liao's 10,000-horse cavalry had already arrived, and he quickly completed the attack. surrounded.
And when Yan Liang arrived later, Jiang Qin had completely cut off any hope of breaking out.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Yan Liang summoned the generals to discuss a plan to break the city.
"Besides Jiang Qin, who else is there in Wan County?" Yan Liang asked.
Zhou Cang said: "Back to my lord, according to the captured Wu army, there are no other generals in the city except Jiang Qin. However, it is said that Zhou Yu's concubine, Qiao, is also in Wankou. When Zhou Yu was defeated, he had no time to evacuate. Fleeed to Wan County."
Zhou Yu¡¯s concubine, Mrs. Qiao, is Xiao Qiao.
This familiar name immediately appeared in Yan Liang¡¯s mind.
There are two sisters in the south of the Yangtze River, both of whom are beautiful and fragrant. When Sun Ce and Zhou Yu worked together to capture Wan County, they took over the two sisters.
As a time traveler, Yan Liang had heard about Er Qiao for a long time. He had wanted to take Er Qiao into the golden house after Jiangdong was captured, but he didn't expect that now that Jiangdong was not conquered and Zhou Yu was not dead, Xiao Qiao was already surrounded. In front of you.
"Xiao Qiao, that's a bit interesting"
Yan Liang's interest in capturing Wan County suddenly became more intense.
If Wan County is not broken, the Wu army in Huainan may take advantage of this to move south to threaten the retreat of the Moling navy. At present, it is more public than private. Yan Liang must break Wan County quickly so that he can concentrate all his efforts on marching towards Moling.
"Wan County is not broken, but the Lujiang River is uneven. If you have any strategies to break the city, feel free to speak out." Yan Liang waved his hand.
The generals started to discuss it heatedly.
Some people think that we should follow the usual siege practice, wait for the siege equipment to be transported from the rear, and then besiege the city on all sides.
Others believe that the city of Wan County is not high, so soldiers can be sent to pile up mountains of earth first, and then attack the city by force.
"Wenyuan, what do you think?" Yan Liang turned his attention to Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao said: "Although the method mentioned by the generals can attack the city, it takes too long and gives the enemy a chance to repair the city wall. If reinforcements from Huainan arrive at that time, our army will be dragged here." . Now that the naval forces have reached the Wuhu front line, Wancheng is hundreds of miles away from the front line. It is obviously not a wise move to extend the front line so long. "
Yan Liang nodded slightly, thinking that Zhang Liao was worthy of being a famous general, and his knowledge was indeed different from others.
"In Wen Yuan's opinion, how should we break the city?" Yan Liang then asked.
Zhang Liao stood up, cupped his hands and said: "The general sees that the city of Anhui is not strong. If we take advantage of the high morale of the three armies and attack from all sides, use flying hooks and ropes to force the city to climb, the general thinks that we will be able to defeat it in less than an hour." Defeat this city in one fell swoop.¡±
When Yan Liang heard the words, he stood up and said happily: "Very good, then I will appoint you Wen Yuan as city governor. Before this evening, I must see the banner with the word 'Yan' and put it on me." The head of Wancheng."
"Don't worry, my lord, this city will be destroyed before dusk in Liao Dynasty!" Zhang Liao was also extremely confident and swore an oath with great enthusiasm.
At this moment, Yan Liang ordered the entire army to have a full meal. After resting, in the afternoon, more than 10,000 troops began to launch a strong attack on Wancheng from all sides.
¡¡
The war drums rumbled, and the shouts of killing shook the heaven and the earth.
Ten thousand elite Yan Jun soldiers, each holding a flying hook and a long rope, rushed towards the wall of Wancheng with shouts.
The sword and shield bearers who rushed in front held their shields high to resist the arrows fired from the city. The crossbowmen hidden behind the shield men used strong bows and crossbows to suppress the enemy's counterattack from the city.
After the crossbowmen, there are the most elite soldiers who climbed the city to die. These thousands of brave warriors hold a hook in one hand and a knife in the other, and each of them carries an earth bag on his back.
The strict siege team braved the rain of arrows and rushed to the city moat. The climbers poured the earth bags they were carrying into the city moat one after another.
Because Wancheng¡¯s defenses were not solid and the moat was dug very shallow, thousands of people threw away their earth bags and filled the moat in a matter of seconds.
So, the shield bearers covered the crossbowmen and continued to shoot upwards, while thousands of city climbers rushed straight to the city.
"Throw the zip line and let me kill you into the city¡ª¡ª"
Zhang Liao, who personally led his army to the south city, waved his sword and shouted loudly.
Whoosh whoosh!
With the sound of breaking wind, dozens of flying hooks rose into the air, and the iron claws hit the battlements fiercely. The brave climbers climbed up along the long ropes regardless of their own safety.
On the front line of the city wall, Wu Jun's counterattack seemed so powerless.In the absence of siege equipment such as ladders, it would be extremely difficult to climb the city with flying ropes. The defenders did not even need to work hard to climb the ladders. They could easily cut off the enemy's long ropes with a single wave of their swords.
But unfortunately, Jiang Qin only had more than a thousand defenders in the city. Facing Yan's army's ten-fold attack from all sides, only more than 200 soldiers and horses could be deployed on each wall.
These more than two hundred people can be used to block the troops of Dengcheng, aside from the bow and crossbow players.
Along the line of the city wall that stretched for hundreds of steps, Yan Jun threw out hundreds of hooks at the same time. Thousands of people rushed to climb onto the city at the same time. Coupled with the suppression of locust-like arrows below the city, Wu Jun could not stop it at all.
Under the command of Zhang Liao, Yan Jun on the front line of Nancheng took the lead in storming the city regardless of his own safety.
As soon as the hand-to-hand combat began, Wu's army's disadvantage of insufficient strength became more apparent, and it soon fell into a desperate situation of collapse.
Jiang Qin saw that there were too many Yan troops and that Wancheng could no longer be defended. In desperation, he had no choice but to decisively abandon Nancheng and led more than a hundred remaining soldiers to retreat into the city.
Jiang Qin rushed to the county government first. At this time, Xiao Qiao was pacing anxiously in the courtyard, sending people to investigate the war on the city wall at any time.
Jiang Qin did not care about etiquette, rode his horse and rushed in, shouting: "Madam, Wancheng cannot be defended anymore. Please get up quickly, and I will protect my wife and break out from the north."
Xiao Qiao¡¯s anxious face was instantly filled with fear. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
