Chapter 221: The Battle of Changsha (1)

Previous Chapter

"Shaoqing, I don't know if there is a way to defend against the enemy?" Chen Zhi asked as soon as he turned around.

"Hey, don't hide it from my brother, Zhou Yu is very resourceful, I don't know if he will come out, I can only take one step at a time, and see the move!" His face was embarrassed, but he was extremely firm: "But no matter how powerful Gongjin is this week, a certain general will fight to the death and will not retreat, people are in the city, and people are dead in the city." ”

"Ambitious! But why be so pessimistic! Shaoqing! Chen Zhi comforted: "Although Zhou Yu is powerful, as long as we use the law of war, I guarantee that he will return this time, and the title of the victorious general will also be ruined." ”

"Really?" Kuai Qiang looked at him intently.

"Shaoqing doesn't need to worry too much, this time a certain has brought the tips of the military advisor! Changsha can be safe! Chen Zhi nodded without thinking: "Cai Mao's 100,000 army is just like a chicken and a dog in front of the military advisor, and Zhou Yu, the 60,000 water thieves on the expedition. ”

"Dong Junshi's ability, a certain is naturally trustworthy!" Kuai Qiang agreed angrily, and then complimented: "Brother Chen is here, and a certain heart stone has fallen!" ”

After greeting each other, the two entered the inner city county guard's mansion.

"What, the whole army retreated to the inner city, and the millions of residents outside the city..."After Chen Zhi informed Kuai Qiang of Dong Yu's plan, Kuai Qiang exclaimed. This Dong Yu is really ruthless, this time a strong man breaks his wrist, and he will sacrifice one-third of the people? As soon as this strategy comes out, my county guard still has a fart of the people's hearts! Cold sweat broke out on his forehead again, and this time he couldn't stop rolling down.

In that year, Liu Biao entered Jing, because Changsha County was prosperous like a city, there were many traders, and then the county was expanded to a county, so the Changsha city was divided into two inner and outer cities, and a new city was built outside the inner city, and the inner city was about fifteen miles away from the outer city, because it was the county guard, after many renovations, it was much stronger than the outer city.

"It's a last resort." Chen Zhi pointed to the map and began to explain the situation around Changsha: "Shaoqing, if the three counties of Shanxi, Qiyu, and Guanchang are lost, the entire Changsha City has been exposed to the range of Jiangdong Army's ship and artillery firepower, and if we defend the outer city, our army is afraid that it will not last for three days." ”

"Ahh Kuai Qiang's face was red, if the county and other counties were under his jurisdiction, he would lose without a fight, which was to implicitly point out his mistakes!

"Shaoqing, look!" If you don't look at Kuaiqiang, you also know that this inner city is the main city of Changsha and the gateway to the east of Jingzhou. Less than sixty miles to the west, it is Han County in Guo, outside Jingzhou, Chen came to this time is also a dusty servant, it is really because of the importance of Changsha County, the Jiujiang natural danger in front of him has been broken through by Zhou Yujun, it can be said that the throat has been stuck. If you want to hold Jingzhou, you must hold Changsha, and the most important thing is this inner city.

Kuai Qiang sighed, he had to admit that Dong Yu had a unique vision, and the outer city was a huge place on the map, but it was actually a piece of chicken ribs. Unlike the inner city, which is mostly built on the mountainside, the outer city is flat and mostly inhabited by merchants, and the fortification here not only can't stop Zhou Yu's naval artillery, but also can't hold out for a few days even if the army rushes up.

"Yes, the military advisor's intention is to use this outer city to set up a suspicious array!"

"Suspicious?" Kuai Qiang was a little stunned and didn't say anything for a while. Deploy with the lives of millions of people? Is this a joke or is it self-serving?

Although Changsha is not a dangerous pass in the world, as Liu Biao's first foothold in Jingjing, he still has a soft spot here. Not to mention far away, it can be seen that Changsha County has been expanded into a prefecture county. The original terrain here is quite high, Liu Biao also devoted his attention to the construction of the outer city, the outer city depends on the water of the Jiujiang River with the turbulent water flow, and there is a county outer city built on the mountainside behind him, taking a meaning of having mountains and waters, and prosperity. Moreover, this county guard has always used the strong and strong of the Kuai clan, one is to repay the Kuai clan for his surrender and care when he landed in Jingzhou, and the other is to make the best use of the people, this Kuai clan is different from other Jingxiang clans, compared to those wine bags and rice bags of Haoqiang's children, its clan is also full of talents, the current guard Kuai Qiang's son Kuai Sheng is Liu Biao's deputy commander of the Eight Horses Army, Kuai Qiang himself is also deeply respected by him.

Before Chen's arrival, in order to prevent the Jiangdong naval army with sharp guns, the Changsha defenders set up camp by the river in the outer city, and about half of the defenders invested in the place where the Jiangdong army crossed the river, which can be described as dangerous.

If there is no military advisor who contradicts his intentions, Chen Zhi also appreciates this, this act is equivalent to directly telling the offender: Lao Tzu is attacking your seven inches, and if you want to simply occupy the city, there is no gate. At this moment, the defenders have all retreated to the inner city, although there are some difficulties, and even this move will sacrifice the hearts of the people of Changsha who have worked hard to manage, but compared to keeping the bright future in the future, these are not enough to compare.

Half a day later, Zhou Yu's vanguard army had reached about five or six miles outside the city, and the general who led the army was none other than the invincible Tai Shici, who was now hiding in a dense forest with the army. This super-first-class general, the march is extremely secretive and fast, the defenders in the city are not the slightest bit aware, it is no wonder, Kuai Qiang under Chen Zhi's suggestion, decisively gave up the outer city, and now the defenders of the outer city are some clan children in Changsha City, Ping Susong is used to being loose and crumbling, and there is almost no strength to fight. Of course, they never dreamed that the flaunting of their might at this moment was actually used as cannon fodder.

At the same time that Tai Shi Ci was secretly hiding the vanguard of the Jiangdong Army in Yu Lin, the naval army commanded by Gan Ning also arrived, but before this Kuaiqiang retreated, hundreds of fishing nets were hung at the landing place, which made Gan Ning, who commanded Ruoding, also couldn't help but scold his mother, and said in his heart: The Changsha defenders of this dog day are really annoying. But it is urgent to clean up the broken fishing nets, Gan Ning waved his hand cowardly: That's it, this time I will let Na Tai Shi Ziyi take the limelight.

"Report, general, the defenders of Changsha are strange, they don't have any panic before the war, and the patrol is like a leisurely stroll, like..."The scout hugged his fist at Tai Shici a little depressedly, and hesitated: "It seems that there is no fear, and it seems that I don't know that our army is coming..."

"Bastard, your first day with so-and-so? What kind of information is this! Revisit! Tai Shi Ci was also very annoyed when he heard this, if it weren't for his patience, the horse whip in his hand would have been thrown in the face of the leader of the scout camp.

"No!" The commander of the scout battalion is also innocent, so he can only leave in a daze, the ghost knows if these Changsha defenders are crazy, no matter how slow they are, they should know that the Jiangdong Army has recently taken three nearby counties and counties, right? is so talking and laughing, and don't forget to tease the little girl? Nima, what kind of guard is this! It's all rice buckets, it's really not worth it to be scolded by the general for these rice buckets!

This is not only the Changsha defender who spoils the atmosphere of the war, Zhou Yu is also a freak, in the final analysis, he is the commander-in-chief of this battle, but after he arrived here, he became the shopkeeper, and the navy and army were handed over to Tai Shici and Gan Ning, allowing the two to play freely.

What is free play? Both of them have a black line. Although the relationship is good, everyone has a part, and when this big war starts, they all want to earn a little welfare for their own people. But the generals on both sides have the same status, who commands whom, who is the main force, and who is the deputy? Zhou Yu's eyes were half-squinted, he obviously didn't intend to answer the question. Later, Tai Shici and Gan Ning could only agree that the two would lead their troops to attack by land and water respectively, and whoever opened the gate of Changsha first would be the leader of the battle.

At this moment, Tai Shici's brows, which were one step faster, were also wrinkled, according to the intelligence, this Changsha City has two inner and outer cities, but the previous information between himself and Gan Ning was inaccurate, and there was no agreement on whether to advance the outer city or the inner city as the main general, although he is one step faster, if he is the main attack on this outer city, he is afraid that he will have to bear great losses, he is a general who loves soldiers like a son, and he is quite hesitant at the moment, especially this outer city is within the attack range of the Ganning naval army's cannons, let the naval army bombard first, and take the city by himself. But will this arrogant Gan Xingba be willing to give himself the opportunity to attack the city first! Tai Shi Ci's face was a little solemn, and he called the general Tai Shi Cheng, he pursued the speed of the march, but he never fought a battle that he was not sure of. The inner and outer cities of Changsha are actually more than ten miles apart, and they are adjacent to the mountain road, is there another entrance in the middle of the vast mountain road?

His battle plan was not to attack the city gate, but to wedge directly into this mountain city, take a certain point in the city, divide the inner and outer cities, and then surround the point to send reinforcements. Anyway, there was a naval army guarding outside, and the Changsha army had no way to retreat except to Jingzhou. Lao Tzu has a shortcut mode, take the inner city directly, and see if you are willing to admit defeat.

"Report, Deputy Governor, General Taishi is standing still in the forest, with his subordinates' understanding of him! His old man has always believed that he is as quiet as a virgin and moves like a rabbit, and the current situation is afraid that there will not be much movement for the time being! The trolls scouts reported the situation to the anxious Gan Ning.

Gan Ning was overjoyed and said: "This Taishi Ziyi is not afraid of Gan, haha!" Okay, since he chose to shrink into the forest, let's give him some greeting gifts! Don't let people say that my navy doesn't know how to salute first and then soldier! Quick, clear the fishing nets, and give Lao Tzu the ship to aim at the outer city..."

Gan Ning's move was not to expose Tai Shici, although he was born recklessly, Gan Ning was also a general who was very good at layout, which was also an important reason why Zhou Yu was willing to give power to him. At present, he and Tai Shi Ci have not attacked the city for a long time, I am afraid that it is because the gambling contract is not specific enough, this inner and outer city makes everyone hesitate, Gan Ning smiled and said: Tai Shi Ziyi, you still fall behind. Since I have made a bet with you, the ultimate goal is naturally to seize Changsha and even the whole of Jingxiang. What's the matter with the lord giving it to you! "Come on, first bomb him on his back!" With a wave of the Ganning military flag, the movements of the entire navy army became uniform, and the red-clothed cannons on the stern of the warships were aimed at the muzzles of Hessen outside Changsha City.

"Bumper bumper!" The huge sound enveloped the entire Changsha City, and for a while, the city was full of ghosts and wolves, stumps and broken arms flying wildly, almost in an instant, the city head was already covered with bright blood. You must know that this warship is the top naval battle configuration, in the inland river is even more prominent, these dozens of artillery for the Changsha people is simply a nightmare, the shell attack range is not only in the defensive city wall, but also covers the entire residential area of the outer city, suddenly, Changsha City has become a ghost city, purgatory on earth.
