Chapter 458: Up and down the Yangtze River, gallop to your heart's content

A fierce fire burned Dongting Lake, and the sky seemed to be dyed red for half a day, which made the Wu soldiers even more frightened.

A fire also burned the elite of Jiangdong and burned Sun Quan's endless hope of becoming a hero.

Looking at the warships, the deck was lit by fire, Sun Quan did not have the previous vigor at this moment, but with tears on his face, his face was full of sadness and pain.

It's over, it's all over!

At this moment, he knew that the more than 100,000 people he had gathered with all his might were the foundation of Jiangdong, and once it was damaged here, not only would his ambition to be the hero dissipate.

I am afraid that in the future, Koto will fall into a situation of internal instability and undercurrents, and it will be difficult for him to even protect the Koto Prefectures.

Simply.

At the critical moment, Xu Sheng and Liuzan, who were still deployed in the north of Dongting to form a defensive line, suddenly led the crowd to kill from the flank of Jingzhou, and finally tore out a bloody road under a fierce attack, and met the main force of the Wu army to break through the siege.

Merely.

Although the Wu people successfully broke through, but this time it was also a heavy loss, the vitality was greatly damaged, after the follow-up inventory, the Wu army suffered a total of nearly 50,000 people, most of which were killed in the fire, and the other part was finally damaged by the fight of Guan Ping leading the whole army.

Even though there were still more than 50,000 people in the Wu army, after this battle, the morale of the whole army had already fallen into the lowest moment, and the soldiers had no heart to fight, and Jiangdong no longer had the strength to fight for the Jingxiang counties.

Sun Quan had no choice but to abandon the Dongting Water Camp and lead his troops to temporarily retreat to Xiangshui to garrison the mouth of the Youjiang River with his back to Xiakou to recuperate.

But the so-called beating of the water dogs.

At this moment, Guan Ping's plan was extremely clear, and he immediately dispatched all his troops to crush the mouth of the oil river!

Domino effect.

The Jingzhou army moved.

But it was not only Guan Ping who led the troops to attack the main force of the Wu army, but also the Chen Shisuo department, which had successfully raided Chaisang, also had a clear idea and immediately sent troops to the waters of Xiakou upstream, in an attempt to attack Xiakou and go to the next city.

On the other hand, Fei Shi, who had already established himself in Nanhai County in Lingnan, also joined forces with various departments to block the main passage to Jiangdong, severing Wu Jiangquancong's connection with Jiangdong and completely trapping it in Jiaozhi County.

He was also the leader of the march along the South China Sea into the county of membership.

A strong wave of soldiers swept in, which immediately made Sun Quan feel a headache.

The Jingzhou army's fierce offensive was extremely strong and the strategy was interlocking, so he did not have the slightest time to adjust.

At the mouth of the oil river, Wu and Han fought a water battle again.

However, Wu Zu was defeated for the first time, and the army's morale was unstable, and the improved vehicles and ships of the Jingzhou Army were far superior to the Wu army in terms of speed and performance.

After a fierce battle, the Wu army was defeated again!

Sun Quan had no choice but to retreat to the waters of Xiakou, and then built a defense with his back to Xiakou Jiancheng in order to defend tactics.

Immediately, he immediately sent an envoy to Cao Ying, asking Cao Ren to lead the army to rescue.

Merely.

Just when Sun Quan thought that Guan Ping would take advantage of the victory to attack his own side with the power of thunder, Guan Ping did not act as he thought.

After the great victory of burning Dongting Lake.

The morale of the Jingzhou army was suddenly shocked, and the sergeants of the army couldn't stop giving birth to bursts of worship when they saw Guan Pingping.

Guan Ping immediately discussed with Huang Quan and others, and then decided that Huang Quan would continue to lead more than 10,000 troops along the Xiangshui River to the waters of Xiakou to confront the Wu army, so as to drag down the military strength of the Wu army.

As for Guan Ping, he personally selected the elite, and finally selected 5,000 sailors and 8,000 foot cavalry, a total of more than 13,000 people turned into Xiangshui and entered the Yangtze River to join Fu Wei, who was in charge of the inland defense line of Shuishui.

However, Chen Shi, who had already attacked Chaisang, did not lead the Shuojiang army to attack Xiakou with Huang Quan, but used Chaisang as a base to send troops to plunder the hinterland of Jiangdong.

In the past few days, because the Jingzhou army only attacked the powerful people in various places but did not commit any crimes against ordinary civilians, the Jiangdong heroes were also tireless!

They began to gather and write hard to send a letter to Xiakou, asking Wu Wang Sun Quan to quickly lead the army to rebel, otherwise if the Jingzhou army was allowed to act so recklessly, then the family business they had accumulated for decades would be ruined.

At this time, Chen's method of dealing with Jiangdong Haoqiang was very similar to the countermeasures implemented by Guanping in Runan and Biyang two years ago, and they were all based on raiding homes.

And for the sake of the overall situation, he did not provoke the powerful people in Jiangdong to have full power to confront him, and he did not move the powerful landlords who enjoyed a clean reputation among the people on weekdays.

As for the Xiakoucheng desk on the other side, it was like a small mountain bag, and the stacks of notes made Sun Quan have a headache.

The contents of the notes are all similar, and they are all made by Zhu Haoqiang to let Sun Quan lead the army to quell the rebellion.

"Lonely is now losing troops and losing generals, and at the time of the national crisis, this group of people does not want to fund money, food, and manpower to tide over the difficulties together, but adds fuel to the fire. It's hateful, hateful! ”

Sun Quan's face was even cloudy, his fists were clenched tightly, and a hideous and distorted color appeared on his face, which was enough to see his anger at this time.

Meanwhile.

Guan Ping led the army of land and water after a day or two of galloping and finally joined Fu Wei's department, according to Fu Wei's intelligence: "Qi Qi General Guan." After the puppet Wei general Cao Ren led the crowd to attack, according to the information available, there were at least about 50,000 people, but Cao Ren falsely claimed that there were more than 100,000 people, due to the strength of the enemy's army, the last general and General Kou and others together decided to shrink the defensive line, temporarily avoid the edge, and wait for the general to retreat from the Wu army and then resist the Wei army. ”

"Therefore, the current general Kou has shrunk the defense line to Xiangyang, relying on the fortification of the city to defend, and with the retreat of our army, the Wei army is also pressing step by step, and now it is also approaching the Yicheng line, intending to join forces with Xu Huang, who went south to Fancheng from Wancheng, and Xiahou Shangbu, who confronted Deng Aibu in Wudang Mountain, to destroy our Xiangyang and Shangyong defense lines in one fell swoop."

"It was only because Xiangyang was surrounded by water on three sides and that there was a boat mountain in the south that the Wei army's attack momentum was frustrated, and to this day, Cao Ren had no choice but to set up camp around Yicheng and confront our army."

For a while, with the arrival of Guan Ping, Fu Weicai slowly reported the military information he had discovered in recent days one by one.

Hearing about the military situation, Guan Pington's face couldn't help but ponder, thinking for a while, he couldn't help but move, and then said solemnly: "Since the Wei army has set up camp in Yicheng, it must be that the military rations they need daily will inevitably be transported from Jiangxia in the rear, so can our army make a fuss here, and use the convenience of the water army to attack and disturb the Wei army's grain route, so that it will collapse without a fight?" ”

Saying this, Guan Ping smiled confidently: "It just so happened that in the battle of Dongting Lake, more than 100,000 people in Jiangdong have lost most of them, and now the army is in disarray, morale is low, and the Yangtze River is controlled by our army. ”

After analyzing it again and again, Fu Wei calmly replied: "General Qiqiguan." This will be done two days ago, but it will not work. ”

"Why?"

"General. The grain routes taken by the Wei army to transport grain were all land routes from Anlu to Yicheng, even though our army could sail across the river, but it could only go ashore to plunder, raid and harass supplies. ”

"It's just that in this way, you can't avoid a field battle with the Wei army, but Cao Ren is extremely sensitive to the smell of the grain road, and every time he can send a sergeant to support at the most critical time, resulting in a failure to rob the grain."

"This is all because the Wei army general Niu Jin is too brave, and no one in our army is invincible, so the last general was forced to dispel this thought."

Listening to Guan Ping's strategy of robbing grain, Fu Wei also said truthfully.

"Is that so?"

After hearing this, Guan Ping looked at Fu Wei when he mentioned Niu Jin, with a look of jealousy on his face, and couldn't help but reminisce.

In the middle of the sound, he suddenly asked Pang De, a strong man in Xiliang who was eight feet long and riding a white horse from the side, and said, "Ling Ming." Once upon a time, the general had heard that Niu Jin was a favorite general under Cao Ren, and his courage was very fierce, and he was the first to ride in battle, and he was indomitable. ”

"Ling Ming, if this person comes to greet him, do you dare to fight with him?"

"Why don't you dare?"

Listening to Guan Ping's words, although Pang De was already forty-five years old, his chest was also full of enthusiasm, and he bluntly said to fight.

He Pang De was born in Xiliang, he is a Xiliang athlete and a warrior, so why is he afraid of Niu Jin?

Then, Pound De looked even more serious, and impassionedly surrendered his hands to fight: "Prince." If Cao Ren really sent Niu Jin to come, De would definitely defeat him for the prince! ”

"Good!"

Seeing Pang De's expression, Guan Ping suddenly slapped his thigh and felt that the military spirit was available, so he immediately said: "Don't worry, gentlemen. Ben General already has a strategy to deal with the Wei army. ”

"General Fu, you just need to continue to lead the naval division of the headquarters to loot the Wei army's grain road, as for Cao Ren's headquarters army and horses, you don't need to worry!"

"Whoa."
