Chapter 257: Sun Quan's trust
Sun Quan and Qin Song were afraid of both ends, Qin Song was worried that Sun Quan's troops and horses would shrink into the camp, so that he would not be able to complete the defection before the battle, while Sun Quan was worried that Qin Song's troops and horses would be perfunctory and not go all out to attack the city.
Sun Quan has lived in Jiangdong for a long time, and naturally knows the quality of these local soldiers and horses, most of these soldiers and horses are controlled in the hands of local clans, if it is an ordinary time, this arrangement can prevent the local family from dominating and threatening the dominance of their Sun family, but at such a critical time, it is a little insufficient, and now Yuan Yao's army is eyeing the city near Huiji County, and it has been attacking the city for several days at this time, if it is delayed like this, and it is dragged until Yuan Yao's army arrives here, then the matter will be a big deal!
Sun Quan originally had the intention of leading his soldiers and horses to coerce and monitor the soldiers and horses of Shanyin to attack the city with all his might, and he was originally a little worried about how to say these words, but now seeing Qin Song so upright, he directly mentioned this matter, Sun Quan suddenly felt happy in his heart, and said: "Since the Duke of Qin has a request, then I will personally lead the army to plunder the battle for the Duke of Qin, and I will not give the traitors in the city a chance to break through!" ”
"If that happens, it would be great!"
Qin Song and Sun Quan looked at each other and smiled, both having their own calculations in their hearts.
After Sun Quan and Qin Song discussed the siege of the city, they ordered Qin Song's soldiers and horses to set up a large camp in a place several miles away from his camp, Qin Song had no intention of entering Sun Quan's camp, and agreed without hesitation when he saw this.
Sun Quan saw Qin Song so happy, and he also had a little trust in his heart, it seems that Qin Song should still be loyal to his Sun family, the reason why his troops were in Longmen Mountain before, should have been coerced by everyone under his command, this person can still be useful, if this is the case, he may be able to annex this soldier and horse with him to make up for his losses!
However, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, at least after the capture of Yuji City, it is better to let them suffer some damage to weaken the strength of their army!
Sun Quan looked at Qin Song's soldiers and horses who were getting farther and farther away, and his mind gradually pulled back, now that Qin Song's troops and horses had come, he would naturally not lead the army to attack the city again.
"It's getting late today, it's not suitable to attack the city, pass my general order, and the army will return to the camp!"
"No, we'll take !! order"
The generals of Jiangdong were also distressed by the loss of their soldiers and horses, and now that they finally had a substitute for the dead, their hearts were also much more relaxed, and everyone agreed to receive orders and began to follow Sun Quan back to the camp.
Sun Quan's army was tired after a long battle, and now finally there is no need to attack the city, after the army returned to the camp, the soldiers and horses of the various departments buried in the pot and quickly began to rest, Sun Quan ordered Huang Gai to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to guard the camp, and the soldiers on duty in Jiangdong were all very vigilant, and there was no chance for outsiders to take the opportunity to attack the camp.
After Qin Song's soldiers and horses set up a large camp, under Lu Xun's instructions, they took over the scout's inspection in the direction of their camp, Huang Gai got the scout's report, and thought that this was Qin Song and others wanted to show more to please themselves, so they didn't think about it, and ordered the scouts in the army to hand over the inspection in that direction to Qin Song's soldiers and horses.
Lu Xun saw that Sun Quan's scouts gradually withdrew from the patrol in this area, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed, so that the army of the general's headquarters could calmly lean near Yuji City, and he finally solved a key point!
Lu Xun hurriedly ordered Li Da to inform the Jinyi guards who had changed into the armor of the soldiers of Shanyin County and pretended to be scouts in the army, and asked them to go and guide the direction of Yuan Yao's army, so as not to bump into the hands of Sun Quan's scouts!
……
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Qin Song's soldiers and horses began to bury pots and prepare for the siege early, Sun Quan was worried that Qin Song's soldiers and horses came from afar, and delayed the siege under the pretext of insufficient siege equipment, and also sent some siege equipment to Qin Song's soldiers and horses overnight.
After the soldiers buried the pot and cooked the rice, Qin Song sent a scout horse to Sun Quan to lead the army to attack the city, and after getting Sun Quan's consent, Qin Song led his soldiers and horses out of the camp to attack Yuji City. Sun Quan saw that Qin Song's troops and horses had already left the camp, and immediately led the army to leave the camp and go to the direction of Yuji City.
The two armies joined forces under Yuji City, and Qin Song's troops and horses lined up in front of them, and they had already begun to prepare for the siege of the city; Sun Quan's troops and horses lined up behind, as if they were supervising the battle team, always reminding Qin Song to attack the city with all his might!
Qin Song and the people of the Huiji clan in order to gain Sun Quan's trust, did not delay much, after the army set up the military array, they directly ordered the siege of the city, Sun Quan's army has been attacking Yuji City for several days, the moat outside Yuji City has already been filled in by Sun Quan's soldiers, and the soldiers and horses of Shanyin can directly push the siege equipment to the city!
With Qin Song's order, two thousand Shanyin soldiers and horses pushed all kinds of siege equipment and went straight to Yuji City, there was no intention of leaving their hands at all, the soldiers on both sides soon fought together, Sun Quan saw that the Shanyin soldiers and horses were indeed attacking the city with all their strength in the rear, and they were more relieved in his heart, it seems that the Shanyin soldiers and horses did have the intention of making meritorious contributions, and their previous worries should be too hearty!
……
Qin Song took turns attacking the city with 2,000 soldiers and horses, and the strength of such a siege was also within the tolerance range of the defenders in the city, although it seemed that the soldiers and horses of Shanyin had used all their strength, but the defenders in the city were still able to barely hold on.
The two sides soon fought for a day, and the 10,000 soldiers and horses under Qin Song's command had also been rotated, and the soldiers and horses of Shanyin had suffered more than 1,000 casualties in this battle, and the defenders of Yuji had also done their best, and even once if it were not for the 'scheduling' mistake of the soldiers and horses of Shanyin, Yuji City was almost broken by the soldiers and horses of Sanyin!
After the army rotated around, Qin Song looked at the sky, explained to everyone, and then beat his horse to Sun Quan's middle army, and said: "Jun Hou, our troops and horses have been extremely tired after a day of fighting, and if we want to continue to attack the city, it will only increase casualties. Today, the enemy army is almost trying its best, and by tomorrow, our army will be able to break the city in one battle!! ”。
Qin Song had already made a promise to him to break the city tomorrow, and Sun Quan naturally couldn't force Qin Song to continue to lead the army to attack the city, not to mention that today's battle Shanyin soldiers and horses were indeed already attacking the city with all their might, and Sun Quan still wanted to annex this army of soldiers and horses, so naturally he couldn't force his army to attack the city and make the soldiers centrifuge.
Sun Quan once again confirmed what Qin Song said about the promise to break the city tomorrow, anyway, tomorrow is the time to plan to start, Qin Song also promised again, Sun Quan saw this, so he ordered the army to return to the camp and fight again tomorrow!
