Chapter 544: Encirclement and Annihilation
"What about Lu Meng and Zhou Tai's soldiers and horses? Why hasn't it arrived yet? Sun Quan stood on the warship and asked Ling Cao on the side.
"The lord should still be on his way!" Ling Cao on the side replied to Sun Quan.
Since Ling Cao took the initiative to ask to join the army, he has been paying close attention to the kid in his family, and Ling Tong did not dare to disobey his father's order after all, so he would report the battle situation to Ling Cao every three or two days.
Ling Cao's achievements in this month made Ling Cao also feel gratified, his son has grown up, and now he can be in charge of the army alone.
Sun Quan frowned, because more than two hours had passed since the time they had agreed, and it stood to reason that Lu Meng Zhoutai's soldiers and horses were about to arrive.
"Yan Chen, there's no problem over there in Wancheng, right?" Sun Quan called Yan Chen over again.
Yan Chen patted his chest and said to Sun Quan, "General Sun Quan, don't worry, as long as you arrive at the city of Wancheng, I will come forward, my eldest niece will definitely open the city gate, and when the time comes, General Sun Quan, you only need to take the soldiers and horses behind me and rush to the city with me!" ”
"Good!" Sun Quan nodded, and waited for another hour, but there was still no movement over there. Sun Quan can't wait any longer.
He was afraid that Miss Lu would leave ahead of schedule after knowing that his Jiangdong Army had logged in from Chaohu.
"Don't wait, wear my military order, march west, and attack Wancheng!" Sun Quan ordered his men.
"Yes!"
Sun Quan left 2,000 soldiers and horses to guard the warship, and the remaining 15,000 troops landed on the land of Huainan, and the army began to broadcast.
Sun Quan left, and less than half an hour after Sun Quan left, Xu Sheng's soldiers and horses came back, "Oh no, no!" Lord, I want to see Lord! ”
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" The military generals of the Jiangdong Army who stayed behind looked at their colleagues in front of them in surprise, "General Xu Sheng? Didn't you go to exterminate the main force of the Huainan Water Army? How did it get like this? ”
"Hurry, hurry, hurry I want to see the lord, Chaohu, Chaohu's waterway is blocked!" Xu Sheng shouted at this colleague of his own.
"Blocked? What's going on with General Xu Sheng? ”
"It's hard to say, I want to see the lord!" Xu Sheng continued.
The waterway of Chaohu Lake is blocked, and it is obvious that it is a plan.
"The lord has already gone to Wancheng with soldiers and horses?" The military general who stayed behind on the side replied.
"Catch up, catch up!" Xu Shengda was anxious that the Huainan Navy would not hesitate to be blocked by the intersection of Chaohu Lake, naturally it was not to tease the Jiangdong Army, although those warships were troublesome, but ten days and half a month were enough to clean up, and the Huainan Army would inevitably have a backhand if they dared to do so.
"Forget it, come on, let all the soldiers get off the ship, and we'll chase after you!" Xu Sheng was about to chase after him with his soldiers and horses.
……
Chaohu Lake is also a hundred miles away from Wancheng, the seat of the Lujiang River, which has to pass through Jiashi City, and Jiashi City, Yan Chen did use his identity to let the defenders of Jiashi City open the city gate, and Sun Quan took it with his soldiers and horses without much effort.
Now Sun Quan's confidence deepened, and at this time, a herald said that a large army was coming towards them.
"Lord, they're here!" The military generals beside Sun Quan shouted at Sun Quan with sharp eyes.
I saw that above the horizon, a soldier and horse with the banner of the Jiangdong Army was coming towards the Jiangdong Naval Army.
"My lord, the soldiers and horses of General Zhou Tai, General Lu Meng and General Ling Tong are here." The Jiangdong military general on the side said excitedly to Sun Quan.
"Yes!" Sun Quan nodded, looking at Zhou Tai and their soldiers and horses did not look like they were defeated, which meant that Shucheng had already been taken
"Lord, now that Shucheng has reached our hands, Wancheng is already a turtle in an urn, and when Wancheng is taken, the entire Lujiang River is our Jiangdong, and the last general is here to congratulate the lord and congratulate the lord." A Jiangdong military general who could sneak around and shoot horses flattered Sun Quan.
"Not only Lujiang, but the whole of Huainan will be our lord's."
Sun Quan listened to these words of praise and was content.
Before Sun Quan could give his orders, there were people over there who greeted the Jiangdong Army coming from afar, this was to congratulate Lu Meng Zhou Tai and Ling Tong, and they also saw it, the lord Sun Quan took over the power from the hands of the old lord Sun Ce, and wanted to shuffle the cards in the military circles, Zhou Yu was unwilling to fight, after this battle, Lu Meng Zhou Tai and Ling Tong are bound to be the new stars of the Jiangdong military circles.
"General Ling Tong, General Lu Meng, General Zhou Tai, congratulations, congratulations!" Some Jiangdong generals came over, but they found that this Jiangdong army did not pay attention to them and went towards Sun Quan's Chinese army in a daze, they thought that Ling Tong, Lu Meng, Zhou Tai and others were still in the Chinese army, and this was their vanguard and they didn't care.
"Isn't that right?" Others can't see it, but Ling Cao, who is old and long-lasting, can see that these Jiangdong soldiers don't look like Jiangdong soldiers at all, although the tone of their speech is Jiangdong words, but it's not just not.
What's more, he Ling Cao didn't even see Ling Tong.
This son of his is young and vigorous, if he wins such a big credit as Shucheng, it is necessary to come out and show off, what makes him happier than being proud in front of his father.
But not today, not only did he not see his son Ling Tong, but he didn't even see Lu Meng Zhoutai.
Ling Cao is worthy of being a serious old man, his gaze swept towards the face of Jiang Dong who came over there, and soon found the clue, they are too calm, calm and unspeakable, logically speaking, the soldiers should be excited to see the lord, and they should also be excited when they return from victory, but these soldiers and horses are stunned.
"It's not good, protect the lord, protect the lord!" Ling Cao suddenly shouted, pulled out the long sword in his hand, grabbed Sun Quan, and was about to retreat towards the back of the Jiangdong army.
"What are you going to do?" Sun Quan saw Ling Cao pull out his long sword and drag him, and his heart couldn't help jumping, because Ling Cao was Zhou Yu's person, could it be that Zhou Yu was going to kill himself at this time?
"Array, array, enemy attack, enemy attack!" Ling Cao shouted loudly over there in an attempt to wake up the Jiangdong Army's defense with his own voice, but everything was in vain, his Ling Cao's soldiers and horses were not here, except for his personal guards, the other soldiers and horses did not listen to him at all.
"My lord, look at the arms of those individuals!" Ling Cao said to Sun Quan anxiously,
"Arms?" Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, and then he saw that the arms of those Jiangdong soldiers were all wrapped with a strip of white cloth.
"They are not our people, they are the Huai'an Army." Just after Ling Cao said it.
"Kill, kill, kill!" The Li ghosts over there under the banner of the Jiangdong Army found that they had been recognized, and they also removed the last disguise and killed Sun Quan's Chinese army.
All of a sudden, Sun Quan was caught off guard.
"Array, array!" Ling Cao is worthy of being a veteran, even at this time, he is still orderly, and Sun Quan is not good, he was completely blinded by this sudden Jiangdong, but fortunately, Sun Quan was still a little sensible, and roared at the end, everything was arranged by General Ling, which slowed down the attack of Li Ghost over there.
"Impossible, impossible, where did this Huainan Army come from?" Sun Quan was still in an attitude of disbelief.
These Huainan troops who are impacting the Jiangdong Army's large array in waves are all elites, and where did these elites come from.
"Are they trapped?" Sun Quan thought of an elite foot soldier, that is, the trapping camp that stayed in Huainan, but it was not right, the trapping camp was dominated by northern soldiers and horses, and the height was generally half a head taller than that of the south, and it was still easy to distinguish between northerners and southerners.
It's not a camp, where did this Yuan Yao come from such an elite infantry army? Did it fall from the sky?
"Kill, kill, kill!" Just when Sun Quan and the others were in a bitter battle, they rushed out a team of soldiers and horses, and this time it was not the banner of the Jiangdong Army but the banner of the Huainan Army.
This battle is simply miserable, although the Huainan army is not all elite foot soldiers, but you don't forget, they are dueling with the Jiangdong Navy, the Jiangdong Navy, above the water, may be a good hand, but on the ground, it is a second-rate soldier.
"Kill, kill, kill, capture Sun Quan alive!" Another army came out.
Surrounded on three sides, the last one remains.
"Sun Quan Xiao'er, your grandfather Wu Anguo is here, come out quickly and die!" Wu Anguo rushed out first
"Sun Biyan, surrender quickly and spare you from dying!" Huang Yi also rushed out. I don't do cheap things for nothing.
"Cao Cao, old thief, Lao Tzu said your mother!" Sun Quan has always boasted that he is the most literate and educated person among the princes, and now he can't help it at all.
This sister's is called Yuan Yaojun, and the main force was blocked by him Cao Cao in Xuzhou for a generation? This is called reassuring him Sun Quan, and the two will cooperate to carve up Huainan?
"This Tamad is the main force of Yuan Yaojun at all!"
"Lord, I'll cover you and retreat towards Chaohu Lake quickly!" Ling Cao shouted at Sun Quan, as long as they pushed to the edge of Chaohu Lake, their Jiangdong Navy would get on the warship, and no one would be able to stop them when they reached the water.
"What about you, old general?" Sun Quan knew that as long as he withdrew to the water, he would be safe, but Sun Quan still had to appease the desperate old general Ling Cao.
"Lord, my son attacked Shucheng, I'm afraid it's more than lucky, I'm just such a son, he goes, what does the old man have to live!" Ling Cao's eyes were already slowly full of death.
"Take care, old general!" Saying that, Sun Quan was going to beat his horse and leave.
"Where is Sun Quan going! Gan Ning is here. Gan Ning came out of the horse and was about to rush to Sun Quan's side.
"The old general save me." Sun Quan shouted, several Jiangdong generals around him were chopped by Gan Ning like a watermelon cut in the north, and in order to survive, Sun Quan could only ask Ling Cao over there for help.
Ling Cao really followed and killed, blocking in front of Sun Quan, "Lord go!" ”
"Death to those who stand in my way!" Gan Ning doesn't care who you are, the one who stops him Gan Ning from capturing Sun Quan is the enemy.
"With me here, you don't think about it unless you step on my corpse!"
"Then you will die!" Gan Ning burst out with the strength he deserved.
"Junior An dares to be rampant, give me death."
Under the cover of Ling Cao's desperate death, Sun Quan retreated and left with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.
Yuan Yao has been paying attention to the entire battlefield situation, Zhang He beside Yuan Yao saw that Sun Quan was about to leave over there, and immediately wanted to take his subordinates to the camp first to rush over, but was stopped by Yuan Yao.
"My lord?" Zhang He didn't understand a little, if he hadn't been with Yuan Yao for a long time, Zhang He would have thought that Yuan Yao was crowding him out.
"General Zhang He, outside of Shucheng, General Zhang He's first camp has already moved, tired, let's rest, let them go!" Outside Shucheng, the 25,000 people of Zhou Tai Lu Meng and Ling Tong's three-way army were divided into several pieces by Zhang He's several charges, and the pieces were swallowed by Zhang He.
Yuan Yao said to Zhang He, "The battle of the trapped beast has forced this Sun Biyan to be anxious, he will bite!" ”
If it is surrounded on all sides, Sun Quan will inevitably die knowing that there is no way to live, and if Yuan Yao, who has more than 10,000 people, wants to swallow it, he will have to pay the price of three or four thousand people, why bother?
"What does the lord mean?" Zhang He asked Yuan Yao.
"Counting the hour, Dong Xi should also block the waterway of Chaohu Lake, let's catch turtles in an urn above the water surface of Chaohu Lake!" Yuan Yao said and took the lead and left, and Gan Ning and others naturally cleaned up on the battlefield.
Ling Cao was killed in battle, and 5,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangdong were completely annihilated.
