Chapter 243: Absolute
"The one who makes me proclaim my power to the world, Qing Ye!"
In the evening, Sun Quan arrived at the battlefield, he and Pan Jun rode in the same car, he held Pan Jun's hand with one hand, and the other hand held the guardrail of the car.
In addition to the surprise, there was so much emotion that I was speechless for a while, and I didn't know what to say.
If he is defeated again, King Wu should be replaced, and if he is lucky to be succeeded by the crown prince Sun Deng, he can still save his life.
If you are unlucky, if you let Sun Shao succeed to the throne, it will be unlucky.
Fortunately, the bet was won...... Just won the first half of the bet.
Pan Jun has also experienced a series of major battles, and he has experienced it as a victor, but he is in a stable mood in front of him: "Great King, more than 30,000 people under the Xiahou Shang Department of the Wei Army have advanced by land and water, and the infantry has joined Cao Xiu. Before noon tomorrow, Xiahou Shang and the siege equipment will go to Huaishui to join Cao Ren. ”
He pointed to Cao Xiu, who began to camp three miles away on the west bank of the river: "Cao Xiu's infantry cavalry soldiers are no less than 30,000, and there are more than 7,000 knights. Our army must not be careless, let alone cross the river to compete with it. ”
Once Cao Xiu is allowed to cross the river, the 7,000 cavalry will charge, and a deadly offensive will be launched, and now the Wu army cannot stop it.
In his eyes, the most important thing for the Wu army now is to end the war quickly and decimately, and then digest the combat experience, adjust the military officials, and run in the army.
As long as it has been precipitated and recuperated, the new army of Great Wu will have the morale and experience to confront the Wei army.
After all, he is a person who has won consecutive battles, and Pan Jun's vision is different from that of many generals: "The ministers have two concerns, one is whether they can persuade Zang Ba to surrender, and the other is how to make peace with Cao Ren." ”
"Peace? Chengming Aiqing, now you want to talk about peace? ”
Sun Quan frowned, but the smile on his face was overflowing: "Aiqing is really good at laughing, Zang Ba can be broken by my land and water." Cao Ren is arrogant and camps against the water, and after I destroy Zang Ba's lone army, Cao Ren will not escape! ”
At this moment, Zang Ba has fallen into a desperate situation, 500 transport ships are still burning, the Wu army is besieging with grass bundles, Zang Ba's simple car camp has been ignited, and now he is gathering people to hold on to the river beach, and he has been hit by the Wu army's water and land bows and crossbows, and the blood stains the river beach red.
Too many instruments were burned to ashes in the ship, and too much grain and straw were burned along with wheelbarrows and carts.
Cao Ren has been surrounded by Lu Fan and Song Qian in the camp, it is impossible for Cao Ren to come to rescue Zang Ba, and Xiahou Shang will not be able to arrive at Cao Ren's camp until noon tomorrow, let alone rescue Zang Ba.
The only one who could rescue Zang Ba was Cao Xiu, but the river boat was burning, and the Wu army sailors were cleaning the river downstream, and Cao Xiu was unable to cross the river.
Why should you make peace with Cao Ren?
Before dark, he will definitely be able to force down and annihilate Zang Ba, and then when the southeast wind blows in the middle of the night, he will attack Cao Ren's camp again.
Cao Ren chose only three, either to be burned to death in the camp, or to surrender, or to turn around and jump into the Huaishui to escape.
"It's about peace."
Pan Jun spoke clearly: "If our army inflicts heavy losses on the Wei army and the Han army goes north out of Wankou, who can contain the Han army for me?" If the Wei army is defeated, who in the world can still stop the power of the Han army? At that time, the counties and generals of the two countries had more hearts, and the Han lord may be able to spread the world. ”
Pan Jun said that he was also unwilling: "Jinchen advised the king to indulge Cao Ren, in order to use his strength to resist the Han soldiers." ”
"It's a pity, it's a pity."
Sun Quan sighed again and again, if Cao Ren was defeated after Zang Ba was defeated in this battle, the battlefield in the Central Plains of Wei would be chaotic, and the Han army would definitely be cheapened in vain.
If either Guan Yu or Zhang Fei arrived in Xuzhou and took over Xuzhou, then the Wu army would be trapped and killed in Huainan.
The current situation is to eat Zang Ba steadily, if you are in a hurry to eat Cao Ren, there are variables and risks.
Defeat Cao Ren's main force, or capture Cao Ren, then anything can be discussed, but the deployment and morale of the Wei army's Central Plains battlefield will be chaotic and sluggish, and it is estimated that Liu Bei happily sent someone to thank him.
Therefore, Cao Ren cannot be beaten, and the functions of Cao Ren's General's Mansion must be preserved, and Cao Ren's prestige must be preserved.
It is rare to win a battle, but because the Han army is strong, he does not dare to let go of the Wei army, which makes the smile on Sun Quan's face gradually fade.
"Chengming Aiqing, Lone has waited for three years for this victory!"
"Back then, Liu Bei and Xiahou Yuan fought for Hanzhong, and they were alone, waiting for Cao Cao to transfer troops to the west. Cao Cao regarded loneliness as a great disaster, went to Huainan in person, and left the 26th army of Xiahoudun and Zhang Wenyuan in Huainan to defend against loneliness with heavy troops. ”
"In the next two years, Lone was deceived by the treacherous villain, defeated one after another, and almost died in the battle."
"Zang Ba has been the hero of Qingxu for 30 years, and now I am in a desperate situation, and Cao Ren is just around the corner!"
"Break Cao Ren, wash the shame of the past, everyone in the world knows that loneliness can be done!"
"Let it go, it's hard to be alone!"
Sun Quan's emotions were difficult to let go, and his words were excited: "Lonely has endured humiliation for three years, and what he wants is not the head of Cao Ren and Zang Ba, which is intended to prove that loneliness is not incompetent, but bad luck!" ”
On the side of the car, Zhuge Jin and the others hung their heads in shame, and Pan Jun had a look of emotion on his face: "In today's battle, the people of the world know the ability of our army, and they dare not despise the king." After our army recuperated for five years, the minister guaranteed his life to take Qingxu Erzhou for the king, thinking that it was the foundation of the emperor's industry! ”
"Aiqing's words are serious, her words are serious, and she is alone and out of shape."
Sun Quan restrained his expression, bowed his head slightly, and coughed lightly: "Aiqing let go of it, everything is lonely." ”
"Yes, I understand."
Pan Jun saluted, raised his hand and pointed to the west and said, "I expect that Cao Xiu will personally lead the knights to Shouchun at night, in order to cross the river by the boat of Huaishui." Therefore, Shouchun City should not be careless, and generals Lu, Song, and Sun San should also be vigilant against Cao Xiu's forced crossing of the river to attack our army at night. ”
Zhuge Jin took two steps forward at this time and bowed his hand: "Governor, Cao Xiu is going north, and it is expected that he will have no boat to cross." ”
Pan Jun bowed his hand and did not dare to be contemptuous: "Mr. Ziyu is in Jiangdong, going back and forth to Jingyiyang Sanzhou, and he has seen many infantry troops and water armies, but he has not seen a riding style. As far as I can see, the Han army has a cavalry drill and is trained hard and can gallop across the ...... Han Shui. ”
I wanted to talk about Zhangshui and Tuoshui, but the surrounding generals understood it in an instant, and naturally knew whose cavalry it was.
Horses can swim, and knights can cross rivers on horses if they are lightly armed.
The more cavalry crossing the river and the water flow is blocked, the smoother the crossing will be.
Sun Quan didn't intervene anymore, and asked Pan Jun to arrange the final general attack on Zang Ba, if Cao Xiu and the cavalry really crossed the river, then there would be many twists and turns in this battle.
Zang Ba lost all his baggage, and there were only more than 6,000 people left around him, and nearly half of them were wounded by arrows.
The Wu army was surrounded on three sides, still shooting with stones and bows and crossbows, and the Xuzhou army was injured or killed by injuries all the time.
Zang Ba was waiting for the sky, once it was dark and the burning ship sank and extinguished, the Wu army's bow and crossbow and stone throwing were greatly reduced, and it was suitable for breaking through to the north or swimming to the west bank of the river.
Even if the whole army is wiped out, you have to run out and go to Cao Xiu to ask for an explanation!
The sky was getting dark, and the Wu army was also preparing for the final general attack.
On the west bank of the river, Cao Xiu was promoted to discuss the matter, but he still had a wooden face and no emotion.
The protector Jia Kui didn't dare to see him, and he also hid and disappeared, for fear of being stabbed to death by Cao Xiu at this moment.
Now Cao Xiu's mental state is very bad, and the soldiers of the whole army are very angry.
If it weren't for Jia Kui and Man Chong's cautious suspicions, worried that the Shouchun defenders would dig Tibetan caves around and set up ambushes, the three thousand Yue cavalry would have already arrived on the west bank of the river, and Zang Ba's transport ships would also come to pick them up.
Hugh said that three thousand Yue rode was transported, and Zang Ba would not be so miserable!
With more than 1,000 cavalry in Zang Ba's hands, it will be difficult for the Wu army to seize the positions of the outer car battalions.
Guarding the complete car camp, how can it be like now, like a pig and dog waiting to be slaughtered, allowing Wu Jun to be bullied with bows and crossbows and stones?
Earlier, Zang Ba's subordinate to Cao Xiu fell into a desperate situation, and Cao Ren in the north was also besieged, and Niu Jin, who was born in Cao Ren's department, also held more than 2,000 horsemen in his hands.
Jia Kui and Man Chong were okay to hide, they really dared to appear in front of Cao Xiu, Cao Xiu raised his sword to stab, Niu Jin and this group of people would definitely stand up and pull the bias, so that Jia Kui's feet slipped and accidentally hit Cao Xiu's blade.
Cao Xiu looked at it for a long time: "I want to lead the knights to the north for thirty miles and cross the river to participate in the battle." ”
The Yue cavalry lieutenants Xue Qiao, Niu Jin, and Wang Shuang, who were holding the cavalry, looked at each other and gave their hands: "I am willing to fight the thief with the prince." ”
