Chapter 170: Zhang Jaw vs. Soochow (Part II)
In the first battle of the Huai River, Zhang Jaw commanded Sun Quan's 100,000 troops to be killed, killing nearly 30,000 Wu soldiers, Ling Tong, Ding Feng and other generals and even Sun Quan all escaped death. This killing made everyone in Dongwu afraid, and later the matter was reported back to Jiangdong, and when he heard the name of Zhang Jaw, the child did not dare to cry at night. The generals protected Sun Quan to cross the river, and Zhou Yu was already waiting at the ferry. Zhou Yu saw that the armor of the generals and soldiers was uneven, and all the soldiers were afraid and had palpitations in their eyes, so he knew that this battle must be a fiasco. Zhou Yu's face was shocked, and he rushed to the fleet, shouting King Wu, very eager. Sun Quan came out with the support of a group of generals, and seeing Zhou Yu so anxious, he was full of thoughts for a while. Sun Quan led everyone to the ferry, Zhou Yu came to visit in a hurry, and saw that Sun Quan was fine, so he retreated a little bit with a panic on his face. Sun Quan saw it clearly, held Zhou Yu's hand, and sighed.
"Fortunately, the Governor of the Metropolitan sent troops to rescue in time, otherwise this time Lone will definitely die!"
The generals listened to Sun Quan's praise, and they all had different colors. Zhou Yu's face froze, and he bowed his hand.
"The king has no worries, and he will reorganize the army first. After the sergeant finishes recuperating, Yu will definitely lead the army to avenge the king!! β
Sun Quan listened, chin and smiled, and the preparation he had been giving to Zhou Yu disappeared in an instant at this time. The two walked hand in hand. After Sun Quan reorganized the soldiers and horses, he rewarded Zhou Yu, Ling Tong, and Ding Feng, collected the army and returned to Shouchun first, and ordered all the troops to rest and recuperate in order to prepare for war.
And said that Zhang Jaw defeated the Wu army, the name shocked Yuzhou, led the army back to the city, the people in the city came to greet one after another, seeing Zhang Jaw leading the generals, majestic, the army was neat and orderly, the banner was flying, each soldier and armor, all had blood, extremely majestic, and after seeing the army, there were many Wu soldiers prisoners, each of them hung their heads, like a lost dog. The people were overjoyed when they saw it, and they all applauded, shouting that they were mighty. Zhang Jaw knows very well that the way to win is not arrogant, and there is no slightest hint of sorrow, but he just responds with his head and greets the people. Yu Ban secretly watched Zhang Jaw win all his style, and he was very angry. As for Le Jin, Shicai was repeatedly reprimanded by Xiahou Yuan, blaming him for his ineffective fighting, and allowing Gan Ning and Lu Meng to escape. Le Jin was speechless to refute, so he had to swallow his grievances, and now when he saw Zhang Jaw so majestic, he was also quite resentful in his heart. Zhang Jaw collected the army and returned to the city, rewarded the three armies, remembered everyone's merits, and sent someone to inform Cao Cao. The Wei army rested for five or six days, and Xiahou Yuan came to find Zhang Jaw and persuaded him.
"The morale of our army is flourishing, and the generals and colonels and soldiers of the army are all looking forward to the war and being promoted through meritorious service.
Zhang Jaw also had this intention, so he summoned Le Jin and Yu Ban to see him. Suddenly, the two arrived. Zhang Jaw told him of the intention of sending troops. Yu Ban and Le Jin glanced at each other, and both of them were eager to make meritorious contributions and shouted in unison.
"If the general wants to go out into the army, we should do our best to help, and we are willing to be the vanguard!!"
Zhang Jaw listened, groaned for a while, and cast a look at Xiahou Yuan. Although Zhang Jaw is a general, Xiahou Yuan's military position is higher than Zhang Jaw, Cao Cao sent him this time, with the intention of supervising the army, so Zhang Jaw will interrogate Xiahou Yuan's opinion on everything. Xiahou Yuan grinned and said with open jaws.
"Wen Qian and Wen Ze are both tiger generals in the world, if the two of them are willing to be pioneers, they must be able to break the spirit of Wu soldiers first!!"
When Zhang Jaw heard this, he ordered Le Jin and Yu Ban to be the vanguard, leading 30,000 soldiers and horses to Shouchun first, and at the same time delivered.
"The two generals are both delicate people, but Zhou Gongjin of Eastern Wu has always been deceitful, and everything needs to be guarded against, and you must not rush forward."
Le Jin and Yu Ban listened, although they promised in their mouths, they were disdainful in their hearts. On the same day, Le Jin and Yu Ban completed the reorganization of the army and led the army to march first. Zhang Jaw led 50,000 soldiers and horses as the Chinese army, and then marched, while Xiahou Yuan led 20,000 soldiers and horses to march after carrying baggage.
However, it was said that Sun Quan packed up the military horses in Shouchun, and after about half a month, the soldiers were all recuperating and were trying to take revenge. Suddenly, Zhang Jaw led an army of 100,000 and hoped that Shouchun would kill. When Sun Quan heard this, he was stunned and murderous, so he urgently summoned a group of civil and military personnel to discuss with the county government. Zhou Yu admonished, first assigned Dong Xi and Xu Sheng to lead 50 big boats, ambushed at the ferry, and then ordered Chen Wu to lead the men and horses to patrol the riverbank. Sun Quan complied, so he made arrangements first according to Zhou Yu's plan. Dong Xi, Xu Sheng, and Chen Wu took the order and left.
Lu Meng immediately attended and shouted.
"Zhang Jaw soon defeated our army, and the morale of his army was fierce, on the contrary, our army was afraid of Zhang Jaw. According to a certain opinion, it must first frustrate its sharp spirit in order to shock the army's might!! β
When Sun Quan heard this, his face froze, and he asked the generals in the hall.
"Open the jaw from afar, who dares to break the enemy first to frustrate its spirit?"
When Ling Tong heard this, he wanted revenge for a long time, so he attended and said at the moment.
"A certain wish!!"
Sun Quanding looked at it, and when he saw that it was Ling Tong, his brows furrowed. Ling Tong is talented, although he is young, he is strong in martial arts, and he is a little braver than his father Ling Cao. Jiangdong military generals, and few people are their opponents. But because of this, Ling Tong is arrogant and looks down on the heroes of the world. In the previous fierce battle, I didn't know if the injuries on my body had healed, so I was eager for revenge. Ling Tong saw Sun Quan groaning, comprehended in his heart, and hurriedly shouted.
"The king doesn't have to worry too much, the injuries on a certain body have recovered a lot, and it is not in the way!"
Sun Quan saw Ling Tong zha
Wanting to be high, and not wanting to sharpen his spirit, he asked.
"If you want to go, how many soldiers and horses do you need to bring?"
Ling Tong listened, stared at the tiger, and drank loudly.
"Three thousand is enough!!"
As soon as Ling Tong's words fell, all the generals in the yamen were different. Sun Quan said urgently.
"The sharp edge of his army is flourishing, and the public performance must not be so underestimated to the enemy!!"
When Ling Tong heard this, his face was shocked, and he shouted angrily.
"Our army was defeated before, but it was unlucky, and it was obtained by Zhang Junyi's deception. If it's a head-to-head confrontation, a certain is not afraid! Three thousand is enough, and a certain is willing to make a military order!! β
As soon as Ling Tong's words came out, all the generals heard it and secretly sighed at his bravery. Sun Quan silently glanced at Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu bowed slightly, Sun Quan saw it, and was about to agree. At this moment, Gan Ning let out a sneer. When Ling Tong heard this, he suddenly became angry, and pointed at Gan Ning and shouted.
"Gan Xingba, what do you mean by laughing!?"
Gan Ning snorted coldly and said.
"If I go into battle, I only need to lead my subordinates to 300 Jinfan to break the enemy, why bother 3,000!!"
Ling Tong was furious when he heard this. Gan Ning turned a blind eye and said that he was willing to make a military order. The two of them competed in front of Sun Quan. Seeing the two fighting, Zhou Yu secretly sighed and said.
"The Wei army is too strong to be underestimated. It is better to order Gongji to set off first, and if you encounter the vanguard of the Wei army, you will fight first. If you can't meet it, you will teach Xingba to go to the next day. And so on to see who can get the first credit. β
As soon as Zhou Yu said this, Ling Tong and Gan Ning had no objections. Sun Quan then issued an order in accordance with this. Commander Ling led the order, first led 3,000 men and horses, and went out of the city to spy on the same day. Ling Tongyi Road marched, traveled more than ten miles, and suddenly saw the wind and dust in front of him. When Ling Tong saw it, he was overjoyed, and immediately led the army to greet him, just in time to meet Le Jinjun. When Le Jin saw that there was a Wu soldier in front of him, he was also happy, and hurriedly urged the army to march. When the two armies met, they put on their own positions, and the two armies faced each other. Le Jin patted the horse out of the battle, and before he could shout, Ling Tong shouted, holding an iron whip, and Pegasus came. Le Jin saw that it was Ling Tong, and hurriedly shook his spirits. Ling Tong rode a horse to kill closer, and with a whip, he looked at Le Jin and hit the door. Le Jin flashed and avoided the danger, and at this moment, Ling Tong picked up the iron whip in his right hand and smashed it again. Lejin slashed the knife against it. There was a loud bang, and the two weapons suddenly swung away. Le Jin's face was shocked, and the secret Dao Ling Tong was powerful. Ling Tong was eager for revenge, danced with double whips, and attacked Le Jin with great momentum. Lejin resisted to the death. The two fought for dozens of rounds, and the Lejin knife style became more and more messy. When Ling Tong saw this, he immediately accelerated his offensive again. Le Jin thought in his heart that he was difficult to defeat Ling Tong, and he started to think about it. After the three-in-one, Le Jin suddenly revealed a gap, Ling Tong saw it, and smashed it with a whip, who knew that Le Jin had already been prepared, dodged sharply, and rushed to the horse. Ling was unprepared when he was unified, and he was about to approach Lejin, but he ignored the big knife that was cut and swept it up with a whip. Le Jin saw that Ling Tong wanted to fight hard, and he was frightened. Between the lightning and flint, Le Jin hurriedly withdrew his knife against the iron whip, and Ling Tong's strength was huge, and the fight made a bang. Lejin is now falling from the horse. Seeing this, Ling Tong was about to take advantage of the situation to kill Le Jin. At this moment, an arrow burst out. I could only see a swift light that was so fast that it shot towards the right side of Ling Tong's face. The first general in Ling Tong's army was frightened, and he hurriedly drank and beware of the cold arrow. Ling Tong heard this, and subconsciously whipped it up, just enough to block the cold arrows that were being shot. The archery general just now is forbidden. It turned out that when Yu Ban led the army forward, he heard the sound of fighting in front of him, so he immediately guessed that Lejin must have met Wu Bing, and immediately rushed to help in the battle. At the same time, Le Jin took the opportunity to escape, got on the horse and carried a knife, and wanted to kill again. Yu Ban led the army to stab and killed.
Ling Tong was stunned, but he was not afraid, the tiger stared at Le Jin deadly, and suddenly the horse flew up, and he wanted to kill Le Jin before retreating. Ling Tong rushed forward, the attack was fierce, and Le Jin was killed by him in danger. After a while, Yu Ban arrived, and the two Wei generals launched a counterattack. When the Wei soldiers around saw it, they all cheered.
Suddenly, behind Wu Jun, another army and horses arrived, and the general led by Lu Meng was Lu Meng. It turned out that Sun Quan was afraid that Ling Tong's arrogance would be negligent, so he ordered LΓΌ Meng to send troops to respond.
Lu Meng led his troops to arrive, and when he saw that Ling Tong was being pressed by Le Jin and Yu Ban Death, he shouted loudly, jumped on his horse with a gun, and rushed to help in the battle. The four of them fought in front of the battle, and the swords and guns flew non-stop. The soldiers of both armies watched intently. However, Lu Meng and Ling Tong are becoming more and more powerful, and Lejin and Yu Ban are gradually falling behind. After dozens of times again, Le Jin was hit in the breastplate by Ling Tong's whip, Yu Ban was anxious to save him, Lu Meng swept it up with a shot, and Yu Ban narrowly avoided it. Le Jin hurriedly shouted that the soldiers rushed to kill, and Lu Meng made a move with his gun, which also called the soldiers to fight. The two armies fought for a while, and the Eastern Wu army won a small victory for a while, and each retreated.
Yu Ban and Lejin withdrew their troops to a mountain pass, set up a camp near the water, ordered the sergeants to rest, and called a group of men and horses to investigate. said that Gan Ning saw Ling Tong and Lu Meng returning with a small victory. Gan Ning secretly went to Sun Quan to complain.
"Although Ling Gongji won a small victory today, it was not enough to greatly defeat the sharpness of the other army. Ning only took three hundred brocade sails to rob the Wei camp tonight, and if he broke one person and one horse, it would not be considered a merit!! β
When Sun Quan heard this, he was bold and said in a condensed voice.
"Xingba's words are true, you can know that there is no joke in the army, you can have a military order before, if it doesn't work, not only is it useless, but it should be in accordance with the law, in order to prove the law!!"
Gan Ning listened, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he shouted.
"If the husband is true of his word, he will regret it! King Wu doesn't need to worry too much, just wait for Ning's good news!! β
Sun Quan listened, covered his palms and smiled, and then rewarded the sergeant with 300 bottles of wine and 60 catties of mutton. That night, when the wine and food arrived at the camp, Gan Ning summoned three hundred Jinfan Ruishi and sat down in the camp. Gan Ning divided the wine and food first, then poured the silver bowl of wine, and ate two bowls by himself, Naiyu Jinfan Ruishi said with a smile.
"I'm ordered to rob the village tonight, you wait for each to drink a full drink, and go out with me to fight, but if you have it, come quickly!!"
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and these three hundred men were not afraid, but laughed together. A big man who was extremely athletic first drank a bowl, and then drank.
"The leader is a general, and he does not spare his life, so why should I hesitate! As long as you follow the big boss, don't talk about Wei Ying, even if the sword mountain and the sea of fire are small, they dare to break through!! β
As soon as the big man said this, another man with a scar on his face stood up, drank the wine, and laughed.
"Haha!! We waited for three hundred brocade sail thieves, and followed the big boss to wander around in this troubled world, and none of us and others had hundreds of lives in their hands. In the past, when I was in Jiangxia, in the countryside and outside the township, who could hear the name of the Jinfan thief and not be scared! ! Today, I will teach those Cao Wei people to know the power of the Jinfan thief!! β
The three hundred men are all like Gan Ning, they are the ones who put da
g Uninhibited. Gan Ning laughed when he heard this, and everyone worshiped and shouted, willing to serve death. Gan Ning ate all the wine and meat with 300 people, and took 300 white goose feathers at about the second watch, and inserted them in his helmet.
At night, most of the Wei troops went to rest. Outside the wall, only a few hundred men and horses patrolled. Suddenly, bells rang everywhere. The night was dark, and I don't know how many soldiers and horses were killed. Those Wei soldiers who were patrolling were so frightened that their faces changed drastically, and they rushed back to the village, shouting that Wu soldiers were coming. Le Jin woke up when he heard this, hurriedly put on his armor, took his knife out of the tent, grabbed a soldier and asked, how many men and horses had come from Wu. Before the soldier could reply, the bell rang louder and louder, as if urging death. The Wei soldiers were frightened and panicked before they fought.
After a while, I saw Gan Ning leading three hundred men and horses to rush to the edge of the village, pull out the antlers, shout, and kill into the village. Gan Ning held a knife in one hand and threw up the chain in the other, and suddenly rushed to the Chinese army to kill. Wei Bing thought that most of Wu Bing's men were coming, and he was disturbed by the sound of the bell, so he was caught off guard. Gan Ning Pegasus burst in, and the iron chains flew non-stop, knocking over more than a dozen fire trays in a row, and suddenly burning seven or eight tents.
