Chapter 166: The Sandpiper and the Clam Fight
When the sun is shining
Xiahoudun and Cao Ren led troops to garrison here.
Xiahou said: "Jiangdong Zhou Yu has already led the army to attack Jiangling, this is a good opportunity for us to recapture Jiangling." The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits. β
Cao Renyan said: "A letter has already come from Xudu, allowing us to retreat from Nanjun and return to Runan to defend." β
"Now a good opportunity is the beginning of retaking Jingzhou, how can you retreat!" Xiahoudun said, "I have asked Yiling Cao Hong to lead the troops to help me attack, if I can't attack with all my strength, I won't be in a hurry to return to Runan." β
He immediately led his troops to Gangneung.
Gangneung
LΓΌ Meng led the army to the city and shouted, and Guan Yu led the troops to battle.
Guan Yu said: "Sun Liu was originally a joint to attack and retreat the Cao enemy, but now what does Zhou Yu mean by bringing Sun Jun here?" β
Lu Meng shouted: "Jiangling was originally our first attack, you actually took advantage of our retreat to steal Jiangling, we are here to ask for it!" β
Guan Yu laughed: "It's your Sun Army who can't take it, so we made a move, and now we are kind enough to come here to show off our might." β
Lu Meng recalled what Zhou Yu taught, but he only remembered what he said just now, and he couldn't remember it later, what did the governor say? "Forget it! Come to war! β
Lu Meng rushed forward on horseback, waved his halberd away, and Guan Yu met him and slashed with his sword.
Lu Meng gritted his teeth and glared, Guan Yu felt the power of this person with that blow, and it really deserved his name. Guan Yu slashed at each other, and knew that this person's courage was indeed a Jiangdong general.
"Ahh Lu Meng stabbed the halberd away, Guan Yu slashed to meet the attack, both of them were fighting hard, slashing each other, to see who was cowardly first.
After more than 20 rounds of fighting, LΓΌ Meng withdrew his troops and fled.
Guan Yu let him go, not daring to chase and kill, at this time Jiangling was weak, there were enemies in front and back, and he collected his troops and returned to the city.
Sun Jun's office
Lu Meng asked Zhou Yu: "I have returned from the battle, what should I do now?" β
Zhou Yu said: "The news of our first battle in Jiangling soon reached the ears of Cao Jun, although they knew it at the moment, they still didn't dare to fight, they had to wait, and we couldn't fight for a long time." β
"And they have all forgotten one thing, the importance of Yiling, I have news that Cao Hong began to lead troops to Yiling. Ziming, you don't need to win Jiangling next, you just need to fight every day. β
Although Lu Meng didn't know the whole strategy, he also guessed something, "Okay." β
In the following days, Lu Meng went to attack Jiangling City every day, and Guan Yu went out to fight and retreat from the enemy.
Xiahou and Cao Ren learned that Guan Yu fought every day, and the army would decline after a long battle.
Xiahou said: "I asked Cao Hong to release the news to bring the troops here, and I will wait for tonight to pretend to attack the city, but we can turn to attack Zhou Yu's army and drive it away first." Zhou Yu had long wanted to go to Yiling, and when he learned that Cao Hong had led his troops out, he would definitely divide his army to attack him. At this time, there were few soldiers, so I fell for my plan. Guan Yu learned that we were waiting to attack Sun Jun, and he would definitely not come to help. After that, Cao Hong and I besieged the attack feather. β
The people followed his orders and went down to Gangneung City that night.
"There are enemy troops! It's time to storm the city! When Liu Jun saw this, he immediately fired a cannon and called people.
Xiahoudun pretended to attack here, but in fact went to Zhou Yu's military village. Cao Ren led the army and went, and saw that the lights of the enemy village were unknown, and he was probably resting.
"Ahead is the enemy's village! Rush with me! Cao Ren shouted.
In the middle of the line, the left and right fires rose, and Xu Sheng and Ding Feng led an army from the left and right, "Your strategy has already been seen through by the governor, and we didn't divide the army to Yiling at all!" β
Cao Ren saw that the enemy army was attacking from the left and right, and this village would not be able to attack tonight. As he was talking, Zhou Yu led an army out of the village, "If the snipe and clam are not fighting, how can they benefit?" β
Cao Ren was frightened when he saw Zhou Yu, and the defeat of Chibi was still imprinted in his heart. Immediately after the withdrawal of the army, Xiahou Dun in the rear led the troops, and Cao Ren shouted: "Yuan Rang, we are known, withdraw quickly!" β
Hearing this, Xiahoudun planned to withdraw his troops and return, but Guan Yu's army in the rear rushed to kill.
Xiahou was shocked when he saw it, "How can this be?" Why did Guan Yu come out to help? β
Li Tongyan on the side: "It seems that Zhou Yu has already colluded with Guan Yu and set up an ambush, which seems to be an internal fight, but in fact he is attacking the outside, just to wipe us out and drive us out of Jingzhou." β
Xiahoudun was furious: "I fought with you!" β
Li Tong stopped and said: "General don't be impulsive, I'll open the way for you, and you will kill from the side." There seems to be a change in this battle, general, you can go. β
Saying that, Li Tong led the troops to rush towards Xu Sheng and rushed to kill, "Kill from here!" β
"I'm a pioneer!" Cao Chun led the cavalry forward, moving forward, and fought all the way under the guidance of Li Tong, "Follow me!" β
Xiahoudun and Cao Ren followed, Guan Yu saw that Sun Jun was weak and couldn't stop Cao Jun at all, so he actually let them kill the way out, "I'll come!" β
Guan Yu rushed to kill Cao Jun, slashing all the way, and no one could stop him wherever he passed, "Go with me!" Then he went to the path taken by Xiahoudun and the others.
Seeing this, Li Tong was difficult to stop, and at this moment he was entangled by Xu Sheng and Ding Feng. The two of them seemed to be eyeing themselves and didn't pay attention to Guan Yu at all.
Li Tongzheng was in trouble, and a horse came with a gun, "Yu is coming!" β
Zhou Yu greeted him, "Who are you?" β
"I'm the Pavilion Marquis of Cao Jundu, Li Tong!" Li Tong shouted.
Zhou Yu smiled, "I haven't heard of it, nameless general!" β
A shot was stabbing in, Li Tong wanted to meet it, Ding Feng and Xu Sheng attacked left and right, Li Tong was difficult to deal with, "Ah! He was stabbed off the horse by Zhou Yu.
Li Tongyan: "So fast! β
Zhou Yu looked at Xiahou Dun's direction, "Go to help and pursue Cao Jun!" Then he stabbed Li Tong in the head with a shot.
Gangneung
Lu Meng led the army so far, "Guan Yu has sent troops, follow me to attack the city!" Lu Meng shouted.
"The ladder goes first, and the car comes next!" The soldiers carried their ladders and rushed to the city.
Lu Meng smiled, "Guan Yuzhong's plan to kill Cao Jun with him, but I don't know that the governor left me to break Jiangling, now Jiangling is empty, and I will take it tonight!" β
"It seems to be cooperation, but in fact it is infighting." A man in the city said.
Lu Meng noticed this person, but did not see him.
"Chen Zhi is still there, and the city will not be lost." Chen Zhi said with a smile.
How many soldiers Liu Jun has, Lu Meng knows in his heart, there are already a lot of troops who have fought before, there will be no more soldiers in the city, and if Guan Yu wants to rush back to the city to rescue, the governor will also block it on the road, and he will not leave until the city is captured.
Chen Zhi said: "Kong Ming has long said that Zhou Gongjin is not credible. Wolong is here, Zhou Yu must be cautious, so the military advisor left here, and planned with me, and guarded it with one thing. β
As he spoke, Sun Jun had already taken the ladder to the city.
On the city, the white soldiers came out with heavy crossbows and set up the city.
"Put!"
"Tubu!" The continuous bolts of crossbow arrows kept firing, "Ah! Sun Bing was shot down after a while, and Sun Bing under the city was not allowed to approach. After shooting, the white soldiers in the rear made up for it, and the crossbow in front was removed and reloaded, and they kept shooting.
The Sun soldiers under the city were repulsed one after another, and they did not dare to move forward.
Lu Meng was shocked, "What is that?" Eight shots in a row? No, nine shots, it's actually four to five times as long as an average bow and crossbow. β
Chen Zhiyan: "It's ten rounds, Zhuge crossbow, please advise." β
