Section 542 Different Divergences
Because the attack launched by Wei Yan's command was too sudden, many soldiers in the Wuwei village defenders knew that they had heard the news that Sun He had been killed, but they had not yet been able to figure out the situation.
As soon as Sun He died, and after the soldiers of Wei Yan's department skillfully shouted that they would surrender their guns and not kill, among the 5,000 soldiers of Sun He's department, who had not had time to participate in the battle, they all chose to lay down their weapons, kneel on the ground, and surrender on their own initiative.
Wei Yan is not a person who loves to kill, according to the practice of Jin Jue's army, as long as the other soldiers do not resist and obediently put down the weapons in their hands, they will all be tied up now, and they will not all be killed.
And Sun He, since he was shot by himself, Wei Yan did not cut off his head for public display as usual, but later, let the few wounded soldiers in Sun He's personal guard who were not shot on the spot return his body to Sun Ben, who was in the county seat of Longshu County and did not know that such a major event had happened on his flank.
After all, Wei Yan could also see that the prestige of this unknown but dead general of Sun Cejun was still very high among the soldiers of Wuwei Village.
After Sun He was killed in battle, the soldiers around him launched a suicide attack on Wei Yan alone, but unfortunately, they met the old Yellow Turban in the Jin Jue Army, they have long been accustomed to such a situation, and their Yellow Turban Army used to do this at the beginning. When Wei Yan shot the enemy generals as soon as he made a move, the old yellow turbans in the formation put down the long weapons in their hands, drew out the Shu crossbow behind them, and shot all Sun He's personal guards with a volley.
Although the other ordinary soldiers put down their weapons, they were prostrate in front of Sun He's corpse one by one, in pain.
Such a general is the most worthy of the respect of every general, because such a general can do the most basic thing for a general, but few people can do it - love soldiers like sons, if not, in the army, except for the personal guards of the main general, who will cry for him?
Seeing this scene, Wei Yan and his subordinates, who had become Sima of other departments, couldn't help but ask themselves.
After Fu Tong and Liu Ye entered the village, the generals gathered in Sun He's big tent.
Next, it is time to discuss the division of troops.
The importance of Wuwei Village, there is no need to say more, then, Liu Ye thinks that next, who stays and who guards will become the focus of Wei Yan's contention, after all, the first battle is almost relying on Wei Yan's bravery and courage to win Wuwei Village.
As a general of the same level, it stands to reason that Fu Tong should come forward to fight the next battle, and at this time, Liu Ye also knew that Wei Yan's next target for sending troops was Liyang County, a county controlled by Sun Cejun with the shortest land route between the Yangtze River and Chaohu Lake.
But what Liu Ye didn't expect again was that there was no such imaginary controversy in Jin Jue's army, Fu Tong led his 700 elite veterans of the Yellow Turban Army and 5,000 Huainan soldiers to stay in Wuwei Village; And Wei Yan led the remaining troops, without any repairs, and immediately took the warship in Wuwei Village, went down the Yangtze River, and immediately attacked Liyang City.
At this time, no time can be left for Sun Ce, once the news of Wuwei Village being breached spread, with Sun Ce's personality, he will inevitably take the initiative to withdraw his troops quickly, and Liu Beijun does not know the news that Jin Jue's reinforcements have arrived, with Lu Su's personality, they will definitely not send troops to pursue the main force of Sun Ce's army.
"How can this be, two generals, you don't need to rest, but the soldiers need to be repaired, not to mention, compared to the elite soldiers and Nanyang soldiers under the general, my Huainan soldiers are more able to adapt to the ship, General Wei Yan, if you are in a hurry to attack Liyang County, you should bring the Huainan army!" Liu Ye asked puzzled when he heard this.
"Otherwise, Master Liu. First of all, the meaning of General Ben's rush to send troops is not to prevent the soldiers from repairing, but to delay the location and time of repairs. Of course, General Ben also admitted that the Huainan soldiers were ships that were better able to adapt to the turbulence in the Yangtze River than the veterans of the Yellow Turban Army and the Nanyang soldiers. Once the soldiers accompanying the expedition arrived along the Yangtze River in Liyang County, the general would choose a place where it was easy to hide his troops, stop the boat, and let the soldiers repair it. This will give the soldiers who are unable to adapt to the ship enough time to recover.
In order to avoid going to the vicinity of Liyang County to open fire and cook again, General Ben had actually ordered the cooks in the army to cook enough cooked food for the soldiers to eat for three meals, and then eat them after they got off the ship. Childe said that the soldiers are very fast, and when they attacked Wuwei Village just now, my men had already discovered that they had finally missed a clipper, and that ship had now fled north along the waterway.
As a result, Liu Junshi can also understand that Sun Ce will inevitably respond very quickly, and returning to Liyang County may become his best choice. Also, Gongzi explained that if he took Wuwei Village, he had to be careful that some people in Sun Ce's army would take the risk of attacking the camp, and they were likely to treat the ships that could not escape as fireships, so as to recapture Wuwei Village again.
Therefore, it is necessary to leave a considerable number of soldiers here in Wuwei Village to prepare for this situation in advance. There are 3,000 soldiers in Nanyang, but there are 5,000 Huainan soldiers you brought with you, not to mention, Fu Tong and I are both from Nanyang, and it is more harmonious to talk or get along with Nanyang soldiers. Therefore, isn't it obvious who keeps and who shouldn't? Wei Yan patiently explained to Liu Ye.
After all, the Huainan soldiers were trained by Liu Ye, and the credit for the siege war was even higher, Wei Yan was worried that if he chose the soldiers like this, Liu Ye would feel that he was deliberately crowding out the Huainan people.
"I see, but I was too worried, and the two generals laughed!" After listening to Wei Yan's explanation, Liu Ye nodded and replied.
The generals saw that Liu Ye was not angry, and Wei Yan did not explain more.
At this moment, Wei Ming stood up and took the initiative to ask: "General Wei, the last general thinks that with the number of soldiers you are currently leading, it is enough to take Liyang County, so the last general wants to take the initiative to ask you to lead a thousand Nanyang troops to Sun Ce's march on the way, and try to hinder the speed of Sun Ce's army returning to Liyang County, what do you think?" ”
"Humph!" Fu Tong snorted angrily, and immediately stood up and refuted: "Not how? Wen Chang, at this time, everything is still based on Childe's plan, you can't have more branches, attack Liyang County, there is no room for loss, what you need to do most at present is to complete the task assigned by Childe as soon as possible. What's more, Wei Ming didn't know much about the situation in Jiujiang County, and if he made a mistake, he would affect the entire plan formulated by Gongzi, and he would lose a big one! ”
