Chapter 151: The Last Battle of Lujiang City

Faced with Xiahou Yuan's proposal, Tai Shi Ci knew what Xiahou Yuan meant.

Cao Cao sent troops this time, saying that it sounded good to help Jiangdong, but in fact, he came to Lujiang City for the grain and grass. Sun Ce had already promised that the grain and grass in Lujiang City would be given to Cao Jun.

Xiahou Yuan's soldiers and horses were not as many as Tai Shici's, and there was room for the attack on Lujiang, and he did not send elite troops, the purpose was nothing more than to reduce unnecessary casualties. During the siege of the city, once Xiahou Yuan found that the casualties were a bit large, he would withdraw his troops in Mingjin, causing the attacking troops on the Jiangdong side to be affected and retreat. This has been done a few times.

Now like this, Xiahou Yuan doesn't want to risk the lives of Cao Jun's soldiers anymore. Dogs will jump over the wall when they are in a hurry, and Zhang Liao of Lujiang City is ready to fight to the death, and if he continues to attack, he will definitely suffer heavy casualties. Cao Cao was trying his best to defend Liu's army, every soldier was very precious, and Xiahou Yuan certainly thought of his own interests.

Now that the two armies are joining forces, Cao Cao and Sun Ce are in the honeymoon period, and Lujiang City is the city of Jiangdong, Tai Shici really doesn't want to refuse Xiahou Yuan's proposal.

After thinking about it, Tai Shici said: "The previous time was General Xiahou Yuan's subordinates who contributed a lot, and now Lujiang City can be taken down in an instant, so I don't have to bother General Xiahou." I also asked General Xiahou to lead his troops and horses to rest for a while, and watch my Jiangdong soldiers defeat Zhang Liao in this way. ”

"Okay, this general is waiting for General Taishi to show his might." Xiahou Yuan's face was full of smiles. "Maybe I can show the general the bravery of Jiangdong."

Tai Shi Ci despised Xiahou Yuan in his heart, what was the use of saying it so nicely. But it is undeniable that the combat effectiveness shown by the Cao army in the siege is much stronger than that of the Jiangdong army. As soon as he saw that the Jiangdong army was inferior to the Cao army in terms of siege, Tai Shici was full of embarrassment.

Xiahou Yuan took Xiahouen and his own troops together, and gave up the offensive position to Tai Shici, which was done very simply.

Tai Shici ordered his Jiangdong Army to assemble immediately. The Jiangdong Army was reluctant. Not long after he retreated, looking at Tai Shici's posture, he was about to start a siege war again. They are willing to obey Tai Shici's orders, but they have just retreated, so they need to take a rest.

Xiahou Yuan and Xiahouen retreated to the other side, waiting to see a good show.

"Uncle, the Jiangdong Army's offensive strength is so weak, no wonder it was beaten like this by Liu Yu." Xia Houen thought that he knew the reason why the Jiangdong army kept failing.

"If you think so, you're very wrong." Xiahou Yuan did not agree with Xiahouen's statement.

"What's wrong with my nephew, please teach my uncle." Xia Houen was very modest, hoping to get Xiahou Yuan's teaching.

Xiahou Yuan is a core figure in Cao Cao's army, and has experienced countless battles, large and small, and his experience is certainly not comparable to that of a young man like Xiahouen.

"The reason why Jiangdong has been defeated repeatedly is not because they are weak. It's that Liu Jun is too strong. Sun Ce swept the entire Jiangdong, which is enough to prove Sun Ce's ability. There are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, Sun Ce is the master of the soldiers, and he will not let his soldiers be so weak. Jiangdong has always produced strong men, and the quality of soldiers is not weaker than that of Beidi. In such a situation, it is because Jiangdong's elite has been almost consumed by Liu Jun. And a large part of these Jiangdong troops led by Tai Shici now were temporarily transferred by Sun Ce from the Jiangdong family. In the first battle of Chibi, Jiangdong almost lost most of the elite, and had to draw strong men from the family and the people to fill the army. Tai Shi Ci is indeed a good general. ”

"It turned out to be a ragtag army, no wonder it looks so weak." Xia Houen suddenly realized.

Xiahou Yuan didn't say another word, that is, the Cao army on his side is not what it used to be, and most of the elite have been killed by Liu Jun. At present, the Cao army led by Xiahou Yuan cannot be compared with the previous Cao army.

The situation is stronger than people, Cao Cao has always been pressed and beaten by Liu Yu, and now he has shrunk to only Yuzhou. In the battle, there will be casualties, and after the elite soldiers under his command are gone, it is estimated that Yuzhou will no longer be able to hold it.

"Fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter." Xiahou Yuan's heart was full of wry smiles. "The situation on our side is not much better. The lord is now relying on stubborn defense to keep the safety of Yuzhou. ”

"Uncle, now there are only the troops left in Lujiang City, and they can hardly resist for long. Why did my uncle give this good thing to Koto? Why don't we let our soldiers break through the Lujiang River, so that the morale of the soldiers will be greatly increased. "Xia Houen still doesn't understand that Xiahou Yuan gave up the last chance to attack Jiangdong.

Xiahou Yuan said: "Don't underestimate any enemy. Especially the generals under Liu Jun. Do you think Zhang Liao in Lujiang City is a person who can be easily defeated? If we are forced to a dead end, Liu Jun of Lujiang City resists desperately, and a fish dies and the net is broken, we can't take this risk. Lujiang is a city in Jiangdong, and there is no need for us to sacrifice our brothers. Every soldier in our Yuzhou is valuable, and it can't be wasted on retaking the city for others. Nephew, think more about everything, so that the soldiers who follow you will not suffer. ”

Only then did Xia Houen know what Xiahou Yuan's plan was, it turned out to be such a calculation. However, Xiahou Yuan's calculation was right, when he captured Lujiang, he only got money and food on his side, and the city still had to be returned to Jiangdong, so there was no need to fight the last attack.

"Thank you, uncle, for your teachings! The nephew was taught. Xia Houen looked like he had benefited a lot.

"You will see more later, and see how the Jiangdong army attacks the city. Taishi Ziyi is a wise and brave person, and there are many things worth learning from you. Xiahou Yuan said.

Xia Houen obeyed Xiahou Yuan's orders and stared at the battlefield with his eyes.

On Tai Shici's side, LΓΌ Meng and Sun Quan didn't understand why he was gathering troops, so Sun Quan came over and asked, "General Ziyi, why do you want to gather all the troops." ”

Lu Meng was also confused.

Tai Shi Ci said with a wry smile: "It's not Cao Jun's side yet, Xiahou Yuan said that the Liu army of Lujiang has so many troops left, and then let me wait to capture Lujiang City." The general felt that it made sense, so he called in his troops. ”

"That's what Xiahou Yuan means? He actually disregarded the righteousness of his allies? Sun Quan was very dissatisfied, and Xiahou Yuan was clearly unwilling to contribute.

"Cao's army is still unreliable, they have already seen that when the last attack comes, Zhang Liao will definitely resist desperately, and many soldiers will be killed and injured at that time, they are waiting to watch from the wall." Lu Meng rarely said a few words of culture.

Tai Shi Ci was very happy with Lu Meng's growth, because after Lu Meng was raided by Zhang Liao, he deeply felt his own shortcomings, and when he attacked Lujiang, he often consulted Tai Shi Ci. LΓΌ Meng is congenitally deficient in knowledge, but only he has this diligent and studious heart, Tai Shici believes that LΓΌ Meng's future in the future is limitless.

"Humph! And what kind of allies are, in the final analysis, they are all selfish guys. "Sun Quan can be regarded as having seen through the joint relationship between Cao Cao and Sun Ce.

Lu Meng knew that Sun Quan was unhappy, so he persuaded him: "Lord, there is no need to be angry with Xiahou Yuan. If you get angry, aren't you falling for their tricks? Are they looking at us at this time? ”

Being reminded by Lu Meng like this, Sun Quan looked back at Xiahou Yuan's side, and really found that Xiahou Yuan was looking at them with a smile at this time.

Sun Quan recovered his mentality, he didn't want to be laughed at by others.

And the reason why Xiahou Yuan smiled was really because of Sun Quan. Sun Quan's appearance is different from ordinary people, not to mention his thick hair, and he is purple-red. Xiahou Yuan had seen Sun Jian, and Sun Quan was not like Sun Jian at all, and Xiahou Yuan wondered if Sun Jian's wife had stolen people when Sun Jian was away. Otherwise, how could Sun Quan not be like Sun Jian at all.

Xiahou Yuan's smile was because of the filth in his heart.

Tai Shici waved his hand, not wanting to waste more time on this topic, and said, "Zhongmou, Ziming, let's not talk too much about gossip." Lujiang is the city of our Jiangdong, and the things of our Jiangdong should be taken back by my Jiangdong children! ”

"General Ziyi, that's a good point! Let those Cao Jun turtle grandsons led by Xiahou Yuan see how powerful my Jiangdong children are! Take Lujiang City! Sun Quan was very encouraged.

Tai Shici nodded, then walked out of the conversation between the three of them, and said to the assembled Jiangdong soldiers: "Soldiers, Lujiang City is already within reach. Zhang Liao's troops suffered heavy casualties, and as long as we launch this attack, Lujiang City will return to the hands of our Jiangdong. Soldiers, pick up your swords and take back the city that belongs to my Jiangdong! Kill Zhang Liao without leaving a piece of armor! ”

Sun Quan and Lu Meng were by Tai Shici's side, and at the same time said loudly: "Take back Lujiang!" Kill Zhang Liao without leaving a piece of armor! ”

The Jiangdong soldiers were encouraged by Tai Shici and other generals, and their morale was high.

"Kill!" Tai Shici pointed the big gun in his hand at Lu Jiang.

The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army formed an attack formation and slowly rushed towards the Lujiang River, they were stubbornly blocked by Zhang Liao in the first few sieges, and this time they were considered to be proficient.

Zhang Liao, who was on the wall of the Lujiang River, heard the high shouts of the Jiangdong army and knew that a new wave of attacks was coming.

"I wonder if I can hold it this time!?" Zhang Liao was very worried in his heart. "Forget it, it's a big deal to live and die with Lujiang City!"

After eating something and resting for a short time just now, Zhang Liao regained a little strength. Now he really wants to lie down and sleep. But the grim reality could not satisfy Zhang Liao's small wish.

Zhang Liao already had the intention of fighting to the death, even if he was tired now, he didn't care. Isn't there a saying? Why sleep for a long time before you are alive, you must sleep forever after you die.

The rest of the Liu soldiers stood up one by one, the gap just now had allowed them to recover a certain amount of physical strength, and now they were about to start fighting again.

Zhang Liao carried his big knife and slowly came to the edge of the city wall, looking at the formation of the Jiangdong Army troops slowly approaching in the distance, he knew that the other party was about to launch a final attack.

"Haha, soldiers, the enemy is now ready to launch a final attack! Are you afraid? Zhang Liao said highly.

"Don't be afraid! It's a big deal, eighteen years later, he is a good man again. "The rest of the Liu soldiers have long put life and death on the line.

"Okay, it deserves to be my Zhang Wenyuan's subordinates, one by one!" Zhang Liao is very proud of his subordinates, and it is not easy to persist until now.

"Soldiers, the enemy thinks this is trying to make us scared? It doesn't look good, but it's beautiful! Zhang Liao quipped.

"Haha!" Liu Jun and his soldiers burst out laughing.

Zhang Liao then straightened his face, pointed to the Jiangdong Army under the city wall, and said: "Soldiers, let these wastes know, we are amazing!" Later, I will listen to the general's orders and kill fiercely! ”

"Kill!" The fighting spirit of the soldiers of Liu Jun is also high.

The war had reached this point, and Liu Jun had already killed many enemy soldiers, and they all knew that it was impossible for them to leave Lujiang alive. Since you can't live, it's better to kill a few more enemy soldiers, and now Your Majesty will definitely remember the merits of these soldiers and let your family get better compensation.

The high fighting spirit of the soldiers of Liu Jun made the Jiangdong army that was ready to attack the city feel it.

Tai Shici's face was a little pale, with such a high fighting spirit, I am afraid that the Jiangdong Army will suffer a lot of losses next. But the arrow was ready to be sent and had to be sent, and Tai Shici couldn't let the Jiangdong Army retreat. Cao Jun's Xiahou Yuan is still watching from behind, if he retreats, he will be embarrassed.

Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou En had been staring at Zhang Liao on the city wall, and Liu Jun's battle spirit broke out and Xiahou Yuan was deeply shocked.

"At such a juncture, Liu Jun can still be so belligerent. Liu Yu really managed the army well. It's also a place for us to learn. Xiahou Yuan said with emotion.

Xia Houen was attracted by Liu Jun's momentum, and he felt in his heart that if the soldiers under his command were like Liu Jun's soldiers, then they would definitely be invincible.

Today's Cao Jun can't satisfy Xia Houen's wish.

The Jiangdong army advanced slowly, and Zhang Liao and others on the city wall were already ready, the archers drew their bows and arrows, and the infantry were holding wood, stones, and oil, ready to fight the enemy.

"Soldiers, all of them are on the spot!" Zhang Liao stared at Jiangdong Jun deadly.

Tai Shi Ci immediately ordered: "Archer, shoot for Ben General!" ”

The first of the Jiangdong Army to attack were archers, who attempted to use long-range strikes to cover the infantry siege. Since Zhang Liao had blocked the city gate, the Jiangdong army could only climb the city wall if it wanted to attack the Lujiang River. Unknown numbers of Jiangdong infantry carried ladders and mixed in with the large army.

Zhang Liao and the others had already prepared their shields and were waiting for the enemy's attack.

Even if the last offensive and defensive battle of Lujiang City broke out.
