Chapter 231: Jiangxia Dispatches Troops

Jiang Qin was hit by several arrows and fell into the river, and Tai Shici immediately put down his boat and sent someone to salvage Jiang Qin's body. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Wu Jun's side also fought, and the crossbowmen on the warship stubbornly shot at the Chu army's Hengjiang archers, who were obviously not at the same level, and at the same time put down their boats to save Jiang Qin.

At this time, the Chu army was already very close to the place where Jiang Qin fell into the water, so he did not have to worry about being rescued by Wu Jun's runners. Tai Shici took a bow and arrows alone, and shot more than ten arrows in a row, but he calmly shot to death the chief and deputy helmsmen of the two Wu army ships. The Chu army's walker successfully grabbed Jiang Qin's body and turned back safely.

Jiang Qin was already out of breath at this time, and Tai Shi Ci regretted it in his heart, so he ordered his warship to retreat, and asked the loud soldiers to pass the news of Jiang Qin's ambush to the rear.

……

Lü Meng was ordered to take over Zhou Yu to command the water war, still following Zhou Yu's tactics, steadily and steadily looking for the flaws and loopholes of the Wu army's water division, and looking for an opportunity to launch a full-scale attack again. If he can't find an opportunity, he doesn't matter, Zhang Xiu has other arrangements, and waiting for changes on land is the beginning of the general offensive.

It's just that after waiting for a long time, there is still no movement on the land on the south bank, but there is a great news on the water - Jiang Qin was killed by Tai Shi Ci, and his body was also snatched by Tai Shi Ci!

Confirming this good news, Lü Meng made a quick decision and ordered the Chu army to attack on all fronts, and sent additional ships to attack according to the gap between the Wu warships that he had previously mastered. He also ordered the flagship to move forward to participate in the battle, and Tai Shi Ci led the guards to the left and right. Along the way, when he encountered the Wu army's warship, he hung Jiang Qin's corpse to it, which made the Wu army's heart chaotic and unable to fight.

Only a small part of the Wu army knew that Jiang Qin was not in command of the flagship, and most of the Wu army thought that their Grand Governor was in the rear. Therefore, many Wu troops thought that it was the Chu army that was cheating, regardless of Jiang Qin's body, he shot fiercely to attack the flagship of the Chu army, but they were all repelled under the calm command of Lü Meng and the fighting of Tai Shici and other warships.

At this moment, the deputy governor of the Wu army's naval division, who commanded hundreds of warships on the flagship of the Wu army, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and this unknown general was okay to temporarily hold the tank, but at the critical moment, he couldn't think of any way to meet the Chu army.

So just a few quarters of an hour later, there was already a situation on the river where the Chu army was pressing the Wu army. There was no strong command on the flagship, and the momentum of the Chu army became more and more aggressive, and more and more Wu troops believed the news of Jiang Qin's death.

Finally, the last straw that crushed the Wu army's will to fight was ignited, and somehow what happened, in the blink of an eye, the direction of the Wu army's water village was full of fire, and there was a faint sound of shouting and killing.

However, it was Chen Gong's strategy to attract Jiang Qin to fight in the water, but secretly arranged a Biao army to attack the Wu army's water village while the Wu army's water army was exhausted.

This cannot be blamed on Jiang Qin's lack of vigilance. In fact, Jiang Qin also guarded against the Chu army, which had a large number of soldiers and horses, from coming to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, but Jiang Qin only cared about sending scouts to watch whether the soldiers and horses of the Chu army, Gao Shun and Zhang Xun, had secretly crossed the river, but he never expected that Zhang Xiu would assign Jiangdong's soldiers and horses to sneak attack.

Zhang Xiu's four major generals, among which the soldiers and horses of Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and Zhang Xun were concentrated in Jiangbei and Huainan, and only the soldiers and horses of Ji Ling were stationed in Jiangdong. Although Ji Ling's soldiers and horses are adjacent to the territory controlled by the Sun family, because of the vast territory of Jiangdong, Ji Ling's soldiers and horses are scattered in the five counties of Jiangdong to carry out garrisons. Among them, the soldiers and horses stationed on the border of the three counties of Yuzhang have been closely monitored by the Wu army. Because there are still many scholars in Jiangdong who secretly look to the Sun family in their hearts, and there are these secret lines to cooperate with Wu Jun's scouts, it is impossible for Ji Lingjun to hide any troubles from Wu Jun's ears.

The Ji Ling Department was looked at to death, and Jiang Qin also deliberately guarded against Gao Shun and Zhang Xun sending troops and horses to cross the river along the Yangtze River, so what part of this Chu army is, and who is its commander?

The answer is very simple, this Chu army does not belong to the battle sequence of the four major generals of the Chu army, but is the local "county and township soldiers" in Jiangdong, and it is the county commander Zu Lang appointed by Zhang Xiu and Xu Sheng, the commander of Danyang County, as the chief and deputy commanders.

Although Zu Lang was born as a thief and had a bad reputation, he became famous because of the battle of Wanling after returning to Zhang Xiu's account, and his prestige spread from Danyang to all parts of Jiangdong. However, after the end of the Jiangdong War, Zhang Xiu transferred Zu Lang to the small new capital lieutenant, not because Zhang Xiu had any thin views on Zu Lang, but because he really needed this Jing County marshal who was inextricably linked to the Shanyue tribes in Jiangdong to do something special.

For example, he served as the governor of Xindu County to pacify the local intertwined Shanyue tribes, and the facts also proved that Zhang Xiu used the right person. When the Shanyue Rebellion broke out, there was no riot in Xindu County, which accounted for the highest proportion of population in Shanyue, and it even intimidated many Shanyue people in the surrounding counties.

In addition to appeasing the Shanyue tribe, Zhang Xiu also had great expectations for the so-called "bandits" and "miscellaneous generals" who could defeat Sun Ce many times in history. In the process of naturalizing Shanyue, Zhang Xiu gave Zu Lang greater authority, so that he could rely on his prestige in Danyang County and the Shanyue tribes to select and train strong people by himself.

In the end, it was organized into an army, and its main component was still Danyang people, and Zhang Xiu still called them Danyang soldiers. Before the war, the Chu army was divided, and the Danyang soldiers were incorporated into the Changshui Captain Department of the Eighth Captain of Zhang Xiuzhong's Army, and Zu Lang was the Changshui Captain of the Chu State.

As for the later famous general Xu Sheng of Eastern Wu, Zhang Xiu also gave him the right to train his own soldiers. Xu Sheng also selected more subjugated Shanyue people as his subordinates and trained them orthodoxically. The strong men of this group whose strength is equal to that of barbarians have learned the method of array, and their combat power has been explored to the extreme.

This Biao army was ingeniously named by Zhang Xiu - Relief Soldiers! It is the meaning of relieving the king's troubles.

The troublesome soldiers also belong to the Changshui Captain's Department, and Xu Sheng's qualifications are still young, so he is Zulang's deputy.

The strange soldiers composed of the two elite soldiers of Danyang and the annoying soldiers, according to Chen Gong's strategy, bypassed the dense and unpopulated places in the mountains and forests south of the Yangtze River, with only one purpose, that is, to smash the Wu army and the water army from behind!

Whether it is the Danyang soldiers or the trouble-relieving soldiers, they are basically from the mountain people, trekking between the deep mountains and dense forests is easy for them as if it is commonplace, the bears, tigers and beasts on the road are just tooth sacrifices for these people, and all kinds of strange insects and poisonous snakes are rare treasures of medicinal materials......

The most crucial point is that these Shanyue people are different from the Danyang people and ordinary Jiangdong people, but they have always been the most staunch opponents of the Sun clan because of the harm of Sun's policies, so not only can the secrecy of the operation be guaranteed, but the initiative and enthusiasm of the battle do not have to worry.

There was no suspense in the raid battle, there was not a single general who could fight in the Wu army's water village, and the soldiers were all old, weak, sick and disabled, but the time of the two incense sticks was already controlled by Zu Lang and Xu Sheng.

The old nest was ended, the main general was killed in battle, the command was not effective, and only God could help the Wu army in this battle. It's a pity that Zhang Xiu's staff group did not predict the wrong weather and wind direction, and until the end of the battle, there were no sudden winds and waves that interfered with the victory of the Chu army.

Under the careful command of Lü Meng and the encouragement of the pioneers, the Chu army completely pressed the leaderless Wu warships in the waters of Pengze South Lake, and the Wu army was cut off from the waterway to retreat to the Chaisang Water Port, and the front and rear were full of Chu troops, so they were in chaos. There are those who fight hard to avenge Jiang Qin, most of these people are from Jiangdong, and they have a grudge against Zhang Xiujun. There are also those who see that the situation is not good, and most of these Wu troops are newly recruited Yuzhang people, or the former Jingnan Water Army, and they do not have much loyalty to the Sun family.

Either way, the outcome is decided. In the first battle of Pengze, the Chu army beheaded thousands, captured more than 20,000 Wu troops, and captured hundreds of warships. The main force of the Wu army and the navy army were wiped out in one battle......

Zhang Xiu, who was victorious, naturally praised the meritorious officers of this battle. Although Tai Shici shot Jiang Qin, he violated military discipline because of his unauthorized pursuit, and his merits were commensurate. Chen Gong strategized and should be the first to make the first contribution. Lü Meng was ordered to be in danger and commanded properly, which was regarded as a secondary merit. Because Zhou Yu was slightly injured, he temporarily replaced the governor of the water division. The second is the credit of Zu Lang and Xu Sheng, each of whom made a note and rewarded it after the end of the war.

On the fourth day of the second month, the former army of Gao Shun crossed the river to the south.

On the seventh day of the second month, the Chu army captured Chaisang.

On February 11, the 80,000 troops of the Chu army's general Gao Shun crossed south and began to march into Nanchang, the county of Yuzhang County.

On February 15, Jiangxia Huangzu crossed the river to recover Echeng Shaxian and other places that had been captured by the Wu army without declaring war, and regained all of Jiangxia County. At the same time, he waged war against the state of Chu and sent troops to attack the counties of Qichun County of the state of Chu. Zhang Xunbu, the general of the Chu army who was crossing to the south, was forced to stay in Jiangbei.

The envoy sent to Chang'an by Liu Biao's group was the first to return, but Liu Biao was a few days later than Zhang Xiu before Chengtian was ordered. This is due to the fact that Liu Biao, as a member of the Han family, cannot be in a hurry, and there are also reasons why Liu Biao made a full set of preparations for ascending the throne of Han.

Liu Biao ascended the throne of Han and inherited the old Han system. Bai Cai Mao is the general, and Zhang Yun is the big Sima. Jingzhou's famous general Wen was hired as the general of the expedition to the north, and the former Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu was the general of the expedition to the east.

Although Huang Zu's prestige and reputation are not as good as Cai Mao and Zhang Yunwen, because Su is friendly with Liu Biao, the Jingzhou Huang family behind Huang Zu is also a staunch supporter of Liu Biao, so he has always been entrusted with the important task of Jiangxia Taishou, and even formed an army of its own.

Although Huang Zu's Jiangxia army had a relatively high degree of independence within the Jingzhou power group, it was not to the extent that it could arbitrarily wage war regardless of Liu Biao's wishes. Therefore, Huang Zu's sudden dispatch of troops may represent the full-scale outbreak of an unexpected war. Therefore, Zhang Xiu immediately ordered Zhang Xunbu, who was crossing the river, to stay in place and wait for the next move.
