543rd Downwind Battle

"Yes, Xiao Ming, this time, Zhizhong is not wrong. Not to mention whether you can really succeed in the ambush halfway, even if you succeed, but your soldiers will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, that's for sure. Judging from the quality of the defenders left by Sun Ce in Wuwei Village, they are far stronger than Zhang Lujun and Liu Zhangjun.

To be honest, if I hadn't shot the enemy's generals first, as Childe said, my subordinates would have paid a lot of price even if they could win in the end. That's not what I wanted. What's more, my first task in Yangzhou this time is only to repel Sun Ce, not to defeat him. What can be done when stragglers go to the people, this has always been Liu Xuzhou's territory. Wei Yan also shook his head and rejected Wei Ming's proposal.

After listening to Wei Yan's explanation, Wei Ming nodded silently and stepped aside.

Wei Yan explained very clearly, and the most important of them was the last sentence, this is always Liu Bei's territory, no matter how well they fight, the more soldiers they kill Sun Cejun, what can they do, in the end, Wei Yan has not to retreat to Runan County.

Moreover, until now, the eastern part of Runan County still controls the hands of Cao Cao's general, the so-called Yang'an County Taishou Li Tong. That's the opponent they deserve to fight for.

Next, Wei Yan, Fu Tong and Liu Ye discussed the small details again, and then Fu Tong asked Liu Ye about how to defend the Dazhai next to the waterway, and how to defend against the enemy's possible attack on Wuwei Village with fireboats.

After listening to these two questions, Liu Ye used his own wisdom to come up with a lot of ways to deal with Fu Tong.

After the military meeting, Wei Yan ordered his subordinates to gather his 2,000 elite veterans of the Yellow Turban Army and 3,000 Nanyang soldiers to quickly assemble and take the Sun Cejun warship in Wuwei Village.

As a native of Huainan, Liu Ye actually knows the importance of Liyang County better than Jin Jue, no less than Juchao County in Lujiang County, as long as he takes here, Sun Cejun will either prepare to storm Liyang County, or he will have to transfer to Fuling County in Jiujiang County.

On the body that set sail, according to Wei Yan's orders, Sun Cejun's flag was still hanging on the warship, and everyone didn't feel anything yet. However, when the fleet turned to the Yangtze River, Liu Ye and all the Nanyang soldiers found that it seemed that God was helping Wei Yan, and at this time, there was a lot of southeast wind blowing on the surface of the Yangtze River, at least four or five levels.

According to the plan, when the fleet was not far from Liyang County, the reconnaissance ship sent by Wei Yan in advance led the fleet to a small dock that they had found for the army to be suitable for stopping ships and concealing the fleet.

On the contrary, most of those Nanyang soldiers, after most of them got off the boat, they couldn't stand up.

Liu Ye asked the reason, and Wei Yan's answer was also very simple, because, when he was in Yizhou, Jin Jue would also use the large and small ships captured from Liu Zhang's army to transport troops when he marched, especially the elite veterans of the Yellow Turban Army have always been the main force on the battlefield, so they have long experienced such a situation, and most people have long been accustomed to the combat method of being transported to the designated place by ship.

Of course, if these veterans of the Yellow Turban Army were allowed to engage Sun Cejun on the warship, they would definitely suffer very serious casualties.

This is the so-called cavalry who can ride a horse is not necessarily a cavalryman, but may also be an infantry who can only ride a horse.

Wei Yan personally watched as the soldiers all got off the boat, and then he returned to his big tent to rest.

As soon as Wei Yan entered the big tent and sat down, Liu Ye asked directly: "General Wei, after the soldiers are repaired, when do you plan to attack Liyang City?" ”

"The sooner the better, of course! I'm going to rest all night and attack tomorrow night! Wei Yan replied confidently.

In the previous battle, Wei Yan knew that the reason why he was able to easily capture Wuwei Village was that there was an element of tricks, one was that although the enemy defenders defended it very tightly, Wuwei Village was only a camp after all, and it was not protected by a relatively tall city wall like the county seat, and the two low walls alone were not enough to block the elite veterans of the Yellow Turban Army trained by Jin Jue to attack the city.

If it is said that the elite team called the trapping camp in the Lu Bu army trained by Gao Shun is only used to capture the enemy camp, then the elite army trained by Jin Jue can actually be named the 'trapping camp'!

After Liu Ye listened, he did not dissuade him like he did last time, after all, at present, whether it was Wei Yan or the elite soldiers trained by his son Jin Jue, he did not fully understand it clearly.

Whether Wei Yan is arrogant or confident, everything depends on the final outcome of this battle.

……

The next day, at midnight, Wei Yan's troops launched a surprise attack on the county seat of Liyang County.

In Liu Ye's surprised and inexplicable eyes, Wei Yan took the lead again, and took the lead in climbing the city, and the credit for being the first to ascend was taken away by him, who was the commander of the first army. Moreover, all the nearly 2,000 elite veterans of the Yellow Turban Army under his leadership only took less than half an hour to complete a series of processes of waiting for the head of the city, opening the north gate of Liyang City, and then taking the entire Liyang City by the whole army.

The guard general of Liyang County, Li Shu, the Taishou of Jiujiang County personally appointed by Sun Ce, was captured alive, this kid has a lot of ambition and has a certain ability, but when it comes to the critical moment, he is actually just a pustule of soft bones.

When Wei Yan personally led people to rush into the county office where Li Shu was located and showed absolute force, Li Shu immediately obediently chose to surrender to Wei Yan immediately.

After the whole training along the way, after attacking Liyang City, the vast majority of Nanyang soldiers, like all the elite veterans of the Yellow Turban Army, behaved unconventionally after entering the city, and they also obeyed the prohibitions set by Jin Jue himself in the army.

However, at dawn the next day, there were still a few bold Han soldiers in Liyang City who had the courage to take the initiative to complain to the county government.

Liu Ye was in charge of adjudicating the case, and Wei Yan gave him full authority to do so, and personally promised that if anyone in his army violated the military ban formulated by Gongzi, Liu Ye would be dealt with in accordance with the Han law.

After all, Wei Yan is in charge of the military, and he also has to be prepared to face the main force of Sun Cejun's army, which may attack at any time.

Liu Ye found out after interrogation that just last night, there were still a few Nanyang soldiers who caused trouble in Liyang City.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
