Chapter 457: King Wu of Great Wei, Are You Afraid of Me Guan Ping?
Under the city of Baqiu.
At this moment, the smoke is everywhere, the war is pervasive, the layers of corpses and bones are lying all over the city, the death is extremely miserable, and the blood stained by the fighting on the city wall for days is also as red as the sunset in the boundless sky in the evening, red as breathable.
It is only said that in the five days when the Wu army came to the city, Sun Quan, the king of Wu, first shot into the city with a handwritten letter to surrender, but since there was Pan Jun's personal garrison, how could he go down without a fight?
After being sternly refused, Sun Quan sent his generals to lead the masses to give full play to the advantages of strong troops, and attacked day and night.
He even wantonly gave power to Lu Xun to decide the war.
With Lu Xun's repeated deployment, the Wu army's infantry army and navy army were divided into several units to attack Baqiu Water Village and the city respectively, and this deployment suddenly exposed the lack of strength of the defenders in Jingzhou, and they were immediately busy!
For a few days.
Hindering the day and night onslaught of the Wu army, the situation in Baqiu is even more precarious!
At the critical moment, even Pan Jun himself personally went into battle with a sword to fight on the front line in order to inspire the morale of the army, fighting with Wu Pawn.
"Bang!"
At the head of the city, several soldiers in armor used the rod to overturn the ladder built on the city with hook locks, and then the huge ladder fell to the ground, and the soldiers of Wu who were climbing were suddenly smashed into a blur of flesh and blood, and their faces were unclear.
This is also happening all over the city.
The ladder is a powerful attacking equipment, the craftsmanship is strong and the bottom and top are equipped with hooks and locks to hook the city wall for fixing.
Once fixed, it is extremely difficult to shake, and it is difficult to overthrow the defenders without the joint efforts of several people, and if you want to overthrow it, you have to use the lever to pry the hook lock.
The Art of War: Ten times to surround it, five times to attack it.
In other words, as long as the enemy has five times the number of troops, it will be much easier to siege the city.
Even though the enemy was outnumbered, the Jingzhou army also relied on its fearless fighting spirit to resist it, which also weakened the momentum of the Wu army's attack slightly.
The Wu army retreated like a tide for a while, and the two sides took a break.
Seeing the enemy army wantonly retreating towards the water camp set up on the shore of Dongting Lake, they had already fought until their physical strength was exhausted, and the Jingzhou soldiers who were covered in blood unconsciously rested against the wall.
On the way to rest, even if he closed his eyes and took a break, he still held Changge, bows and crossbows and other weapons in his hands, holding them tightly and not daring to let go.
Because, I can't tell when Wu Jun will suddenly come again!
In the past few days, they have already suffered hardships, and Wu General Lu Xun led his troops too unexpectedly, and often suddenly came to the city to seize the city at the most unexpected time.
Several times the Baqiu defenders were caught off guard, if it weren't for Pan Jun's quick response and timely reinforcements, I'm afraid Baqiu would have been lost.
At this moment, Pan Jun, who was covered in blood, was wounded, and his armor was still in tatters, standing with a sword to support his tired body, looking at the back of Wu Jun's temporary departure, and the worry on his face became more and more intense.
He knew that the retreat of the Wu army this time was only a short rest, and a more violent impact would be ushered in later.
"Where has the Major General arrived?"
Worried, he couldn't help but ask Guan Ping in a deep voice.
Now, Pan Jun only felt that he was exhausted under the impact of more than 100,000 Wu troops, and he had persevered to the limit, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to resist anymore......
What's more, there is a big gap between him and Lu Xun's ability to use troops, and the confrontation with him has also caused mental suppression.
Physically and mentally exhausted.
"Qi Yu Taishou, according to the last detailed report, General Guan is leading his troops back to the north, and he has arrived in the Hengyang area, but now because the water and land arteries are all blocked and controlled by the Wu army, our department has no way of knowing General Guan's whereabouts."
After hearing this, the generals on the side couldn't help but respond.
Just when Baqiu City was in misery, Luo County, an important town north of Changsha.
Guan Ping led his guards day and night, rushing to Baqiu non-stop, but arrived in Luo County in ten days.
However, after his arrival, he suddenly had a plan and discussed with his staff, so he decided not to rush to Baqiu for the time being, but to hide it secretly and deploy it secretly.
Three more days passed in the blink of an eye.
Even though the Wu army attacked repeatedly, Baqiu seemed to be crumbling and vulnerable, but the Jingzhou sergeant still swore to defend the territory to the death, but he also stubbornly held it.
It has been almost ten days since the siege began, and now Lu Xunhu is suspicious.
Inside the water camp.
Lu Xun sat on the mat, staring at the plate of butterfly battle reports on the desk in recent days, his eyes were full of doubts, profound, and muttered: "This...... Something is wrong! ”
"Baqiu is an important town in Jingxiang, which is not only the throat of Jiangling in the north and Changsha in the south, but also controls the water control of Xiangshui and Dongting Lake.
"In such an important place, I have been attacking the city fiercely for several days, but why don't I see any trace of Guan Ping?"
For a while, Lu Xunhu was extremely suspicious, and in an instant, Guan Ping's figure was remembered in his mind.
That's right!
His side attacked Baqiu so strongly, but why didn't Guan Ping appear?
Although the war report said that Guan Ping was now presiding over the southern expedition to Lingnan counties in Guiyang County, Lu Xun was not an ordinary person, he believed that with a general like Guan Ping who had great military achievements, he could tell the difference, whether the southern war was important or the Jingxiang county was important?
The hinterland of Jingzhou is under great threat, how can Guan Ping be indifferent?
With the study of Guan Ping's person in recent years, Lu Xun softened his forehead and said secretly: "Does Guan Ping have any tricks?" ”
Thinking of this, he seemed to suddenly understand something...... Immediately after, he suddenly rose up, and hurriedly waved his hand to the guards on both sides and said, "You and the others are going to the main camp to meet King Wu quickly." ”
At this moment, Lu Xun's face changed greatly, and he couldn't care about the slightest delay.
If it's a little bit later, I'm afraid the good things will be gone!
But as soon as he stepped out of the camp, a sentry scout suddenly rushed over, with an anxious look on his face, and said, "Enlighten the governor." According to the battle report sent back by our Xiakou, it was said that yesterday a Jingzhou army suddenly approached the city of Chaisang and launched a fierce attack on it. ”
"Because Chaisan was already in the rear, the original garrison was extremely weak, and now I didn't expect that the enemy army would bypass Xiakou upstream and suddenly launch a fierce attack on Chaisang."
"But after holding on for just two hours, Chaisang announced that he was lost!"
A battle report has fallen!
Immediately, it hit Lu Xun's head like a thunderbolt from the sky.
He hadn't found out that Guan Ping had reinforced Baqiu for several days, so he had a premonition that he might be plotting some kind of conspiracy.
Just now, he seemed to have noticed it and was about to take precautions with Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, but he didn't expect the Jingzhou army to move so quickly.
directly bypassed Xiakou and seized Chaisang.
Lu Xun did not doubt at all how to bypass Xiakou, because he had also been garrisoned at Lukou, and the land and water waters separated from the tributaries of the Yangtze River went straight downstream, turning over the high mountains, and there was such a waterway for passage.
And this main road happens to go straight to Chaisang.
Merely.
To Lu Xun's surprise, why did the Jingzhou army move so quickly?
It must be known that Lukou is at least a few hundred miles away from Chaisang, and even if your own ships want to reach it, it will take at least four or five days to travel.
But in just two or three days, the Jingzhou army came to the city?
Could it be that Guan Ping had already begun to deploy this matter when his own side was still attacking in the future?
For a while, the more he thought about it, the more Lu Xun's head became more and more headache.
He knew that with the loss of Chaisang, the good situation he had now achieved had been completely lost.
At this moment, they have lost the most important transit place in Jiangdong, and the supply of the grain route has become a big problem, and then the Jingzhou army only needs to passively avoid the battle and take a defensive position to drag them down, so that they can return with the strength of more than 100,000 people.
Thinking of this, Lu Xun also quickly rushed to the king's tent!
He wanted to submit the matter to Sun Quan as soon as possible.
……
Merely.
Just after King Wu Sun Quan got the situation enlightened by Lu Xun, he didn't have time to think too much and take countermeasures, and the general outside the camp, Liuzan, immediately rushed inside and hurriedly reported: "Enlighten King Wu." Guan Pingzheng, the current commander of the Jingzhou Army, led the water and land troops to call for battle outside the camp and vowed to fight to the death with our army. ”
The words fell.
When Sun Quan heard the news of Chai Sang's seizure, his face was gloomy and uncertain, and he was extremely angry in his heart, but now that he learned that Guan Ping actually took the initiative to provoke his side, how could he endure it, and immediately waved his army to meet the battle.
On the river.
The two sides of Wu and Han lined up, opened their formation, Guan Ping stood on an extremely large and wheeled car ship and looked at each other, and shouted sharply: "King Wu of Great Wei, are you afraid of me Guan Ping?" ”
