Chapter 296: Asking for help from Danyang
After Zhang Xutuo led his troops to arrive, Yue Fei did not order to continue the siege, but ordered the sergeants to camp in the camp.
Yue Fei and Zhang Xutuo commanded a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses, and they were divided into three divisions, each setting up a large camp, and countless fast horse sentry horses rode back and forth to the three large camps, only to see that the entire Jiangdong Army camp was surrounded by water, and the news from the outside could not be transmitted to the Jiangdong Army camp at all.
After Yue Fei and Zhang Xutuo's soldiers and horses began to set up camp, Ling Tong reported all the situation outside the camp to LΓΌ Meng, and after LΓΌ Meng learned that a large number of enemy troops had appeared outside the camp, he immediately determined the idea in his heart, the enemy army must want to break through his camp from the land.
Lu Meng knew that Huang Zhong would not rashly attack his own naval army, so he ordered the deputy general to sit here, and he himself came to the dry village to sit in town, Lu Meng came to the wall, and saw that the enemy army outside the camp was really building a large camp, and a trace of incomprehension flashed in his heart, this place is the land of his own Jiangdong, and there are Jiangdong troops stationed all around, and the enemy army outside the camp actually camped and put on a posture of fighting a protracted war, are they not worried about the arrival of Jiangdong reinforcements, and when the time comes, they will lead the army to kill, Will you join forces with reinforcements to destroy them here?
You must know that this place is the riverside, as long as the enemy army is defeated in the face of the surging river, there is no way back, Zhang Xutuo does not care about this person for the time being, but Yue Fei is a famous general who destroyed the soldiers and horses of Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, according to reason, he should not be able to see this so unwise, right?
Is he very sure that he will not be able to welcome reinforcements from Jiangdong here?
If this is the case, then Yuan Yao must have played a big game of chess, and his 30,000 soldiers and horses will be in danger?
Lu Meng had just led the troops at this time and didn't have much time, and he was not the Jiangdong Metropolitan Governor who had killed Guan Yu in a hundred battles later, and he was still a little immature, thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed in his heart.
After thinking about it for a long time, Lu Meng didn't come up with any way to break the enemy, after all, the strength of the enemy army is here, there are at least 30,000 soldiers and horses outside the Jiangdong army camp, although Yue Fei and Zhang Xutuo's army is building a large camp, but Yue Fei and Zhang Xutuo both led their elite soldiers to watch outside the camp, if the Jiangdong army is killed from the land, then the soldiers and horses of the two of them can be killed immediately, and the sailors and soldiers abandon the ship and land on the shore at their own expense, and they will definitely not be the opponents of the army under the command of Yue Fei and Zhang Xutuo;
If the Jiangdong Army breaks through from the waterway, then Yue Fei and Zhang Xutuo will take advantage of the situation to attack the Jiangdong Army's dry village, and then the Jiangdong Army must have soldiers and horses after the dry village is broken, not to mention whether the rest of the Jiangdong Army can break through from the Huang Zhong Water Division, just this strategy of dividing troops to break through, Lu Meng will not dare to put it forward, no one is a fool, the Jiangdong Army soldiers can also see that those who stay in the dry village will become outcasts, Lu Meng has just taken charge of the 30,000 water division, he is not Zhou Yu with unparalleled prestige in the army, As long as he dares to put forward this strategy, I am afraid that the Jiangdong Army will immediately become chaotic without a fight.
Lu Meng thought about it for a long time, but there was still no good way to deal with it in his heart, so he could only continue to stick to the camp and wait for the opportunity.
Lu Meng glanced at the surrounding soldiers, and sighed in his heart, the situation is like this, he can only choose to die for the governor of the capital, but I'm afraid it's a pity for these soldiers!
"The enemy army is heavily guarded and has been prepared, don't lead the army to attack, just stick to the big camp, if the enemy army has any changes, come and report to me!"
The generals of the Jiangdong Army hurriedly responded: "No, we will receive the order!! β
After Yue Fei and Zhang Xutuo built the camp, they immediately collected their troops and returned to the camp to start resting, and the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army saw this, and began to order most of the soldiers and horses to rest in preparation for the next Japanese battle, while the remaining soldiers were carefully guarded on the wall, always on guard against the enemy's night attack again.

"Driving!! Driving!! Driving!! β¦β¦β
"Stampede!! Stomp !! Stomp !! β¦β¦β
In the early hours of the morning, the morning sun has just jumped from the horizon, and the Danyang soldiers who have been on duty all night are leaning on the walls of Danyang City and squinting and napping, everything around them seems to be very quiet, at this time, there was a sudden rush of shouts and horses' hooves, which instantly tore apart this tranquility.
The defenders hurriedly grabbed the weapons in their hands and looked out, only to see that there were several fast horses outside the city and came straight to the city gate. β
The iron cavalry at the head held up a token and shouted: "I am the leader of the personal army under the command of General Lu Meng, last night there were tens of thousands of troops attacking my Spring Valley camp at night, and now our army camp is besieged. β
At this time, the sky was close to dawn, and the defenders glanced at the token in the iron horseman's hand, and saw that the token was indeed the style of their own army, and they were immediately shocked!!
"Please bring it with me, and I'll go and report this matter!"
Wu Jing had not gotten up at this time, and after learning about this, he hurriedly ordered the sergeant to summon the sergeants who asked for help, and he himself hurriedly put on his clothes and went to the front hall to wait.
Wu Jing glanced at the person who came, and saw that this person was indeed a personal guard under Lu Meng, and asked urgently: "How many enemy troops have attacked the Spring Valley camp at night, I don't know how the battle is at this time?" β
The sergeant hurriedly replied: "Back to Ming Gong, at least 10,000 sailors under Huang Zhong's department attacked our army's camp at night, and 20,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Yue Fei and Gan Ning, Huang Zhong has surrounded our army's water village to death, and our sailor warships cannot attack, I am afraid that at this time, Zhang Xutuo's 20,000 soldiers and horses have also taken the opportunity to cross the river, according to the following estimates, the enemy army should have 50,000 soldiers and horses!" β
The sergeant didn't know that Gan Ning's soldiers and horses had not come to Spring Valley, and after Wu Jing heard this person's calculation, he suddenly exclaimed:
"What !!"
"Fifty thousand soldiers and horses !!".
"Yuan Yao's army is menacing, it seems that it is already inevitable for my Jiangdong!!"
The sergeant also knew that the 10,000 county soldiers in Danyang were the closest soldiers and horses to his own camp, and he pleaded several times: "Our army camp is in danger, and please send troops to the rescue of Ming Gong!! β
