Chapter 1124: Zhou Gongjin's Plan to Break the Wei Soldiers (I)
At this time, the sound of breaking the air was even more vigorous. Gan Ning's face changed greatly, and the arrow on his right side hit his right chest. Suddenly, a golden whip suddenly sprang out from behind Gan Ning's back, striking horizontally, breaking the arrow. Gan Ning looked back and saw that the one who helped him turn the danger into a disaster was Ling Tong. It turned out that Ling Tong saw Xiahou Yuan shoot six arrows in a row, and he knew that Gan Ning was difficult to take well, so he hurriedly came to respond. Just after the thrill, the bowstring sounded again, and Gan Ning and Ling Tong were shocked, and hurriedly danced their weapons. How do you know that Xiahou Yuan is a false bowstring, the two of them have a false alarm, and when they come back to their senses, they see that most of the Wei soldiers have already struggled to flee away. Only Xiahou Yuan was left with dozens of horsemen waiting.
At this moment, after Gan Ning and Ling Tongjun, the shouts of killing came overwhelmingly. Sun Quan led most of his troops and horses to kill. When Xiahou Yuan saw it, he laughed, and when he left, he didn't want to make fun of it.
"Jiangdong rat generation, sooner or later I will teach you to wait for my dead soul!!"
Gan Ning was furious when he heard this, and Pegasus chased after him. Ling Tong also rushed to the horse. Sun Quan led most of the soldiers and horses to press up from behind. However, the Wei soldiers and horses had already fled far away, and when Xiahou Yuan fled, he shot three arrows from his back, and his amazing archery skills shocked Gan Ning and Ling Tong into a cold sweat. Sun Quan chased for a while, and when he saw the Wei army fleeing away, he was so angry that he scolded endlessly, knowing that it would be fruitless to chase again, so he ordered the troops to return to the village.
Let's say that Cao Zhang and others returned to the village, Zhang Jaw had already learned about the battle situation from the return scouts, and led the generals to greet them in the city gate, so that the soldiers all beat the drum and played the flute, and said 'Long live', and the joy was shocked. Cao Zhang's name of martial arts has spread throughout the three armies since then, and the Wei people have praised it.
The next day, Sun Quan gathered a group of civil and military personnel to discuss in the tent. Sun Quan's face was so dark that he seemed to be dripping water, and he still remembered the humiliation of last night in his heart, and shouted with a faint cold light in his blue eyes.
"The third son of the Cao family despises our army so much, this revenge has to be avenged!! Who would dare to go to the battle!? ”
As soon as Sun Quan's words fell, Gan Ning and Ling Tong walked out together, all wanting to fight. At this moment, a sudden report came that the governor of the capital, Zhou Yu, had led the army to a few miles outside the village. Sun Quan was overjoyed when he heard this, and urgently led the generals out of the village to greet him. After a while, Zhou Yu led the troops to come, and the grain transport team behind him was like a swimming dragon, and at the end of the team, there were siege equipment such as rushing cars and ladder trucks, like a behemoth. When Zhou Yu saw Sun Quan, he hurriedly dismounted. Sun Quan also dismounted to greet him. After the salute, Zhou Yu saw that Sun Quan had a little anger in his eyes, and his heart froze, so he opened his mouth and asked.
"I wonder how the war is going?"
Sun Quan's eyes narrowed, and he told the past with a little anger. Zhou Yu listened carefully, and later heard that Cao Zhang's night invasion of the military village seriously injured Xu Sheng, and the shimmering starry eyes suddenly showed a little cold. After Zhou Yu listened, he groaned for a while and said to Sun Quan.
"Don't worry, my lord. Rong Yu will have a plan for a few days! ”
Sun Quan's face was happy when he heard this. Later, the rear army entered the village, and the armaments such as baggage and siege equipment were placed under the support of a team of sergeants. In the following days, Wu soldiers did not move, and Zhou Yu led Zhou Tai and dozens of elite horsemen to explore the terrain in the vicinity of Chencheng within a radius of ten miles.
However, he said that since Cao Zhang's victory for a while, Wu Bing has not moved for days. When Zhang Jaw was suspicious, there was a detailed report that Zhou Gongjin, the governor of the Wu army, had escorted the armament a few days ago and had arrived at the Wu army's Dazhai. Zhang Jaw was shocked when he heard the report, and thought that Wu Jun had not moved for many days, and it must have something to do with Zhou Yu, so he hurriedly summoned Xiahou Yuan and other generals to come to discuss. He sat in the high hall with his jaw open and said in a deep voice.
"Zhou Gongjin's talent is amazing, if you want to do it, you must be unguardable. What should I do!? ”
When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he attended and said.
"Don't worry, general. The previous time, the king of Wei had sent a letter and sent the general Cao Ren to lead 30,000 reinforcements to save Chen County. I expected that it would not take ten days, and the general's troops and horses would arrive soon. Prior to this, the general could order men to defend the city to the death, and resist it with deep ditches and earth ramparts. As soon as the general's troops arrive, we can take advantage of the situation to counterattack. ”
When he heard this, he also felt that this was good, and responded with his head, so he instructed the three armies to guard the city tightly, close the city gates, and within half a month, no matter who was allowed to leave the city without authorization.
However, he said that Zhou Yu had been exploring Chencheng for several days and was already familiar with the terrain around Chencheng, and then saw that Chencheng was heavily guarded, as if he had the intention of defending it. Zhou Yu pondered all night. On the fourth day, Zhou Yu came to see Sun Quan. Sun Quan was waiting anxiously, and when he saw Zhou Yu coming to see him, he hurriedly asked.
"The Metropolitan Governor has a plan!?
Zhou Yu smiled brightly and said to Sun Quan.
"Calm down, my lord. Yu saw that Zhang Gu wanted to defend the city to the death, and Cao Cao must have sent reinforcements to save Chen Cheng, so he defended the city, waited for reinforcements, and then took advantage of the situation to counterattack. ”
Sun Quan's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he exclaimed.
"If there are reinforcements coming, it will be difficult for Yuzhou to take it!!"
Sun Quan looked anxious, but Zhou Yu did not have the slightest urgency, but said happily.
"Don't worry, the key to breaking Chen City is to !!! here"
Sun Quan glared at him and asked quickly. Zhou Yu had a chuckle on his face, teaching so and so. Sun Quan was overjoyed when he heard the plan, so according to Zhou Yu's plan, he first worked in the southeast of Chencheng. The next day, he ordered the three armies to march to Chencheng. The Wu army and horses were overwhelmingly slaughtered under the city of Chencheng. The Wei soldiers defended the city and did not go out to greet them. Zhou Yu had already anticipated it, so he taught the soldiers to build earthen mountains on all sides of Chen Cheng and surround Chen Cheng.
However, it was said that Cao Ren led 30,000 soldiers and horses to rush to the aid of Chen County, and went to the front to probe the scouts to report, and the army of 60,000 or 70,000 Wu soldiers surrounded Chen Cheng on all sides, and Chen Cheng was in a hurry. Cao Ren's face was anxious when he heard this, and the deputy general Cao Chun said urgently.
"Zhou Gongjin has always been treacherous, if he went from the main road, the Wu army might have laid an ambush earlier. The general might as well take a small road and go out of the tiger's mouth from the West Mountain to rob the Wu camp, and the siege will be lifted!! ”
Cao Ren was overjoyed when he heard the plan, so he followed his words and led the army first, so that Cao Chun could break off. As soon as Cao Ren's soldiers and horses moved, he had already made a detailed effort to report to Sun Quan.
Sun Quan was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to Zhou Yu.
"The Metropolitan Governor is worthy of being like a god!!
Zhou Yu's eyes showed a little arrogance, and he smiled brightly.
"If he comes from the road openly, in order to guard against the Wei army in the city, I should avoid it, if he comes from the Xishan road, the distance is far away, and they are mutually difficult, and it is difficult to respond to them for a while, and they can be captured in a battle. Yu expected Cao Ren to raise the fire as a trumpet, so that the city responded. The lord can divide his forces to attack him. ”
Sun Quan smiled happily, and then according to Zhou Yu's instructions, the distribution was decided. However, it was said that Cao Renbing came out of the mouth of the tiger's mouth, and the first army was Bibo Pavilion, seventeen miles away from Chencheng, and leaned on the Bijiang River on one side. Cao Ren ordered the soldiers to pile up firewood and hay and burn it at night, and then sent his troops to disguise Cao Lin as the governor of the Wu army until the city. Cao Lin walked cautiously all the way, and shouted to open the door with the city. Xiahou Yuan was guarding the city, recognized Cao Lin's voice, and put it into the city. Cao Lin finished his salute and said to Xiahou Yuan.
"The general has placed his troops in Bibo Pavilion and can respond at any time. At that time, they can raise fire with each other and send troops together, they will definitely be able to break the Wu army and solve the danger of Chen Cheng! ”
Xiahou Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, so he came to see Zhang Jaw and told him about this plan. After hearing this, Zhang Jaw quickly ordered the sergeant to pile up grass and set fire in the city to communicate the message. At the moment, Zhang Jaw and Xiahou Yuan discussed.
"Although the general's soldiers and horses have arrived, they must not be taken lightly, if the other army is prepared, what can they do?"
When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he groaned for a while, and then replied.
"The general can send an army to a surprise attack at dusk. I took advantage of the fighting between the two armies to set fire to the city and send a signal. If you don't see the general echoing with fire, you will quickly withdraw your army. But if I see the trumpet of fire, I will go out to fight and kill him. When the general's soldiers and horses arrive, the other army is unprepared, and he will definitely be able to kill him without leaving a piece of armor!! ”
Zhang Jaw listened, his eyes shot out two fine lights, and he said with his head bowed.
"What a brilliant plan!!"
Zhang Jaw then followed Xiahou Yuan's plan and ordered the three armies to eat and rest, and it was dusk. Above Chen Cheng, a cannon rang out. Zhang Jaw led 10,000 soldiers and horses out of the city with great momentum. Sun Quan saw that the Wei soldiers really went to war, and he was not afraid, and personally commanded the army, and combined with Gan Ning, Ding Feng and other generals, and led the army out of the village to greet him. After a while, the drums beat loudly and the trumpets sounded in unison. The Wei and Wu armies met on a wide plain five miles outside the city.
Gan Ning led the vanguard soldiers and horses to arrive first, and in the Wei army's formation, Cao Zhang glared at the tiger, and led a group of soldiers and horses to rush towards the Gan Ning army. Gan Ning shouted, and the horse twisted the knife to meet him. The two exchanged horses in an instant, and Cao Zhang's sword danced and slashed, and it was like a stormy attack. Gan Ning is not inferior, the big knife in his hand is like a flash of lightning, and Cao Zhang's killing is extremely fierce, the sword light and sword shadow, staggered and horizontal. The soldiers of the two armies had already slaughtered each other, and the sound of the battle shook the heavens and the earth. Zhang Jaw's face was cold, and he glanced at the flag bearer on the left side of him. The standard-bearer understood and waved the flag. As soon as the banner moved, the iron cavalry on both sides of the Wei army's formation immediately rushed up. The Wei State has always been famous for its cavalry, and when the cavalry in the Wei army moves, the Wu soldiers are afraid. Seeing this, Sun Quan's eyes lit up, he made a move with his sword, and shouted several times in his mouth. Suddenly, the trumpet blew. On the two flanks of the Wu army, Ding Feng and Pan Zhang each led a spearman to attack. Two cavalry, one on the left and one on the right, rushed towards the large array of the Wu army. Ding Feng led the army to the left, and Pan Zhang led the army to the right. I saw Ding Feng slapping his horse and rushing wildly, first crashing into the cavalry thicket, the Wei cavalry hurriedly flew spears to stab, Ding Feng roared, danced the knife impermeable, and bounced the stabbed guns one by one, and then the flying knives were squeezed, and the knife light was cold and flashing. In an instant, Ding Feng made a breach, and the pikemen behind him rushed up. On the other side, Pan Zhang danced a gun in his hand, stabbed quickly, and several Wei cavalry in front of him, blood flowers appeared, turned over and fell off the horse. Pan Zhang shouted, crashed into the crowd, rushed left and right, and forced a bloody road. After the deployment, they followed one after another, the guns were like reeds, and suddenly there was a group of people in the Wei cavalry on the right who turned their horses on their backs.
The open-jawed tiger narrowed his eyes, and then cast a look at the standard-bearer on the right. The flag on the right waved. Cao Pi saw it, shouted, and led a sword and shield hand to advance and kill. At this time, Gan Ning and Cao Zhang were fighting in the chaotic army. Cao Pi led his troops to arrive suddenly, and the sword and shield hands rushed forward, and thousands of sword lights flickered and flew up.
Ganning's army was killed for a while, and it gradually became a rout. Cao Pi stabbed his horse obliquely to kill Gan Ning, twisting his gun and stabbing him. Gan Ning blocked with a knife, and Cao Zhang immediately attacked from behind. Gan Ning fell back and dodged. The Cao brothers fought together and entangled Gan Ning. The Wei soldiers pressed on it vigorously, and the Wu soldiers in the middle were defeated and retreated.
When Sun Quan saw it, he knew that he was about to attack from the middle, his face was cold, and he shouted.
