Chapter 406: Shiyang Counterattack
Outside Shiyang City.
On the high slope more than 20 miles away, the big word "Sun" in the Wu army's formation was inserted into the ground and swayed in the wind.
Wu Hou Sun Quan hung a sword at his waist, a crimson robe, a helmet on his head, and a pair of blazing blue eyes stared directly at the silhouette of Shiyang in the distance, and the generals around him were surrounded by swords, and he was majestic for a while.
For a long time, Sun Quan felt the slightly piercing cold wind, and said with a sigh: "Now that it is the beginning of winter, our army should quickly pull out the important town of Shiyang, occupy Anlu and other cities in one fell swoop, and threaten the tributaries of the Huai River from the flank, so that in the future, when our army fights for the land of Huainan again, we will be able to launch an attack from the Huai River to Cao Wei in the water warfare that our Wu land is best at, instead of gathering troops to attack Hefei Jiancheng." ”
A seat is over.
This is also the factor why Sun Quan decided to join the alliance after receiving the letter from the Jingzhou army to jointly attack Jiangxia.
The north of Jiangxia is indeed too important for the Wu army.
You can take the land of Huainan along the tributaries of the Huai River, and you can also use Anlu and Shiyang as outposts to defend the important town of Xiakou.
After pondering again, he immediately said: "If the cold winter is full of snow, the climate is bound to be extremely cold, and it will be extremely unfavorable for the siege of the city, so this time our army should take it in one fell swoop, and must not drag it into the winter." ”
A word fell.
Zhu Ran, Sun Huan and other generals on the side solemnly bowed their hands and said: "We must do our best in this battle, and we should open up the territory for the Lord and seize Shiyang." ”
For a while, the generals unanimously echoed the proposal.
In the next moment, tens of thousands of Wu soldiers began to build and intensify the construction of siege equipment based on well railings and rushing vehicles.
……
"Bang bang."
"Kill, kill, kill."
With the sound of bursts of fighting breaking through the air, Shiyang's offensive and defensive battles were about to break out in an instant!
This battle was hindered by time, and Sun Quan personally raised his sword to supervise the battle.
For a time, the morale of the Wu people's army soared, and the siege momentum broke out again and again, and at this time, the Shiyang garrison was insufficient, and there were still many loopholes in many defenses.
Under the continuous offensive of tens of thousands of Wu soldiers, the resistance of the Cao army garrison became more and more insignificant, and the Wu people were about to ascend to the top of the city and seize this important town.
The situation has reached an existential juncture!
But at the critical moment, Wen Ping suddenly led his troops to help, seeing that the city was about to be broken, he first arranged for the sergeants to rush to the city defense in an orderly manner, and after the first-line siege Wu soldiers were dispersed, he made a bold decision.
Wen hired the elite himself, and then took the lead in killing out of the city with a knife.
Outside Shiyang City.
At this moment, the sound of fighting, roaring and even the smell of blood became stronger and stronger, and the elite of the Wei army closely followed the pace of the main general Wen Ping, and for a moment they couldn't help but be demoralized, and they waved butcher knives to slash the enemy who blocked all the way.
And Wen Ping was even more brave, and he even beat several Wu generals with a knife along the way, which also stimulated the blood of Wei Pawn.
Although there are only more than 1,000 people, the morale is as brilliant as thousands of troops, and all the way through, there are layers of corpses.
On the wilderness, the corpses of the Wu people are displayed.
After the rush was half loud, Wen Ping and his elite soldiers disrupted the Wu people's formation, so that after the morale of the army was frustrated, he immediately led the crowd back to the city with his own martial arts, and then closed the city gate.
After nearly a day of fighting, the sunset at dusk gradually came to an end, and night began to fall......
Looking at the Shiyang City Gate slowly closing and closing again, Sun Quan, who was tightly guarded in the military formation, couldn't help but show indignation, clenched his fists, and said with hatred: "Wen Ping......"
Originally, relying on the advantage of having more soldiers and a wide range of generals, Shi Yang could be broken today, but he didn't expect that Wen Ping would lead the army to come to the aid at a critical moment and select the elite to go out of the city to attack, which actually caused chaos in his own army, but none of his own side could stop it, can Sun Quanyan not be angry?
"The whole army obeyed the order, continued to attack, and prepared for a night battle."
"Lord, no, no, no......"
For a while, seeing that Sun Quan couldn't swallow this evil breath and planned to fight at night, the generals hurriedly gave up their hands to dissuade him.
In ancient times, lighting was basically only based on firelight, and under the darkness of the night, the vision would be extremely lacking.
Just marching at night will have the risk of trampling or encountering wild beasts on the road, not to mention offensive and defensive battles, and the sergeants will climb the city walls at night, I am afraid that they will not even be able to dodge the arrows that move down when they hear the wind, let alone break the city?
The besieging side fought at night, and that was almost the way to death......
When the words fell, Zhu Ran showed a serious look on his face again, and admonished: "Lord, today's soldiers are sleepy and tired after a hard day, and Wen Ping led the main army to come in person, and the defenders who are trapped in the city and waiting for reinforcements are bound to be at a time when the morale of the army is high. ”
"Our army should rest for the night, and the next day the naval division will completely block the river around Shiyang, completely cut off the contact between Wenpin and the outside world, and then annihilate it with superior forces!"
"According to the report, Guan Ping has also led his troops to the city of Changcheng and dragged the Wei army on the land."
After saying that, he couldn't help but smile and comforted: "So, the lord doesn't have to worry, Wen Ping will be captured by our army sooner or later!" ”
When these words fell, the rest of the generals spoke one after another.
Sun Quan was originally angry at the moment, but when he heard the admonition, his anger gradually calmed down, and his mind naturally cleared up a lot, knowing that it would be disadvantageous for him to forcibly attack the city again.
Immediately, he followed the steps of the generals and slowly arranged for his subordinates to return to the camp to rest.
……
Early the next morning.
Under Shiyang City, the roaring war drums of "Dong Dong Dong" rose again when they heard the news.
After the Wu army took advantage of the night to blockade the surrounding rivers with huge warships, besieged Shiyang, and cut off contact with the outside world, Sun Quan once again led the people to attack the city.
For a while, tens of thousands of Wu soldiers rushed towards the city.
One, two, five......
Several days have passed, and the city has long been covered with a sea of corpses and blood, and layers of corpses and bones seem to be piled up like a small mountain.
After a few days of strong attack, the Wu army suffered heavy losses, although Shiyang City was crumbling, but Wen Ping still held on to the city by virtue of his prestige in the army.
Time flies again.
After nearly half a month of siege, although the Wu army attacked the city several times, it was still driven down by the Wei pawns who were like crazy beasts.
The mountain of bones and bones can even allow Wu Jun to step on the city wall without building a ladder.
After a long fierce battle, both sides suffered extremely heavy losses this time!
Merely.
Wenpin's ability to stick to it is still brave, and he firmly controls Shiyang.
At this time, the weather waits for no one, and the cold winter season is approaching November, but the climate is getting colder and colder, and the sky is snowing like goose feathers.
The so-called freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and in just a few days, the river surface began to freeze.
As the climate was bitterly cold and the ice began to thicken, the Wu army could no longer attack the city and blockade the surrounding area with naval forces, so Sun Quan had to order the generals to evacuate the waters of Xiakou with hatred.
Prepare to fight again in the spring of next year!
But Sun Quan didn't expect that just as he was retreating, Wen Ping actually gathered his troops to go out of the city again to pursue.
The two sides met again in the wilderness.
Another tragic field battle.
It's just that after more than half a month of siege, Wu Pawn has already lost morale and has no heart to fight, on the other hand, Wei Pawn has already held back a fire in his heart because of his grievances and defending the city for days, and it is already very red to catch up with Wu Ren at this moment.
The butcher's knife in his palm fell again and again, and the Wu people even had a tendency to be unable to resist.
Seeing that the Wu people were in a tendency to rout, Wen Ping was even more overjoyed, and hurriedly waved his sword and shouted: "Soldiers, capture Sun Quan alive." ”
"Those who catch Sun Quan, reward thousands of gold, and seal the marquis of ten thousand households."
"If you kill a Wu general, the official will be promoted to one level."
"Kill!"
With the encouragement of Wen Ping, Wei pawns are fighting like crazy lions, and the Wu people are already irresistible!
Seeing that Sun Quan was about to be captured in the chaos, Zhu Huan and Han Dang led the warships to the riverbank to respond, Sun Quan took the opportunity to get on the boat, and Zhu Ran led the crowd to stop the Wei army.
Sun Quan escaped this catastrophe!
In the end, in the first battle of Shiyang, Wen Ping led the people to counterattack and break the Wu army, beheading more than thousands of enemies, and won a complete victory.
From top to bottom, the morale of the Wei army soared.
