Chapter 107: Jiangdong Tiger
Nanyang Wancheng.
This Wancheng is undoubtedly the top priority for Jingzhou, and it is not much worse than Xiangyang.
There is no other reason, this Wancheng can be said to be the northern gateway of the entire Jingzhou, if you want to attack Jingzhou, you must first take Wancheng.
In history, the embroidery, before returning to Cao Cao, has been occupying Wancheng, nominally for Liu Biao to guard the northern gateway, which shows the importance of this Wancheng, and it is precisely because of this that this Wancheng is also a strong city.
Now it is the beginning of May, since March, the Yellow Turban Commander Zhang Mancheng killed Nanyang Taishou Zhugong and occupied Wancheng, it has been two months, the Yellow Turban power is getting stronger and stronger, and now it has about 150,000 Yellow Turbans, and the momentum is huge.
And the captain of the Jiangxia school was ordered to succeed him as the Taishou of Nanyang, and led his troops to crusade against this Zhang Mancheng. Unfortunately, the number of local defenders was too small, less than 20,000. In addition, the walls of this Wancheng city are tall, and the repeated sieges have been fruitless, and they have been delayed until now.
And at this moment, this Wancheng is once again in the midst of war.
That Qin Jie raised his troops again to attack the north gate of Wancheng, and this time, surprisingly, it was the yellow scarf that fell into the disadvantage, and the Han army, which was not superior in numbers, actually pressed the yellow scarf and fought again.
If you look closely, you can find that among the 20,000 local troops, there are more than 1,000 people who are not afraid of death, and their combat power is strong, and they have been rushing to the forefront, and no one can stop them.
And the leader of this thousand people is a general, this person is eight feet tall, looks about thirty years old, holds a war knife, extremely brave, rushed to the city wall first, and the yellow scarf killed has no power to fight back.
And behind this person, there are four people, although they are not as brave as their predecessors, but they are just a little worse, and there is no enemy in front of them.
And the person who is the leader is the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian. This Sun Jian has been able to fight well since he was a child, and he is quite famous. And at the beginning of this Yellow Turban Rebellion, as the county army Sima, he gathered a team of 1,000 people on his own to pacify the Yellow Turbans everywhere.
And now that he has come to this Wancheng, Qin Jie has also heard the name of this Sun Jian Jiangdong Tiger, and welcomed his arrival.
Now he is the vanguard to attack this Wancheng, and with this Sun Jian's courage and skill, he has the upper hand in one fell swoop.
And the four people behind Sun Jian are the four generals under his command, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Zu Mao.
Except for Na Zumao, who died early, the other three were all the founding heroes of Wu State, and they followed Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Sun Quan successively, and made great contributions to Wu Guoguo, and their ability was naturally not weak.
Under the leadership of these five people, the morale of the Han army was high, and the Yellow Turban Army that hit the North City Gate had no power to fight back.
"Mingjin retreats!" And at this time, a man in light armor below said with a frown.
This person is the current Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie.
"No!" The general beside him hurriedly arrived, and the next moment a loud sound of gold rang out.
"Wentai, Qin is too guarded by Mingjin, it's time to retreat!" On the city wall, Zu Mao grabbed Sun Jian, who was already a little red-eyed, and shouted loudly.
In the end, they are still working under Qin Jie, and they naturally have to listen to Qin Jie's orders, he has already withdrawn his troops, if he does not retreat, it is a crime of not obeying orders.
"What, Daiei, what did you say?" Sun Jian turned his head, stared at his blood-red eyes, and glanced at Zu Mao in puzzlement.
Zu Mao also knew that this Sun Jian was completely red-eyed before, and he didn't hear what he said at all, so he had to say it again.
Sun Jian was stunned, a trace of anger faintly appeared on his face, and he asked unwillingly: "Why, why is this, now that the form is so good, seeing that the north city gate is about to be taken, why do you want to retreat!" ”
Zu Mao was also a little unwilling, but he still said: "Qin Taishou will not be untargeted, we will retreat first, and the rest will be talked about when the time comes!" ”
Sun Jian glanced down and found that in addition to his own less than a thousand people, the soldiers and horses under Qin Jie had already begun to retreat. If he doesn't leave again, he will be alone at that time, and without assistance, no matter how powerful he Sun Jian is, he will have to die here.
"Retreat, retreat from the walls!" Sun Jian roared angrily.
With Sun Jian's order, a thousand people in his headquarters began to retreat from the city wall in an orderly manner, and Sun Jian's five people were left to the end, obviously for those people, the name of the Jiangdong Tiger is nothing more than that.
A battle that should have been tragic and abnormal ended like this, and the losses on both sides were not very large, but it was obvious that the Han army definitely beat up its morale this time, and let out the resentment that had been suppressed by the Yellow Turban Army before.
Outside the city of Wan, the camp of the Han army.
Qin Jie was concentrating on counting some things in the big tent.
"Get out of the way!" At this moment, there was an angry roar outside the tent, and before Qin Jie could react, Sun Jian broke in directly, covered in blood, and looked quite embarrassed.
Seeing Sun Jian break in like this, a slight anger flashed in Qin Jie's eyes, but he quickly covered it up, and got up with a smile to greet him: "Hahaha, Wentai is here, this time our army was able to win, it is really thanks to Wentai." ”
However, Sun Jian did not have half a joyful mood, but seemed to hold back his anger, and asked: "Why did your lord order Mingjin to withdraw his troops before, if you were giving me some time, this north city gate could be taken down, but now it is in vain." ”
Qin Jie's face was dark, what is his identity, he was questioned by this Sun Jian like this, who is it, he will not have a good time in his heart.
But in the end, he was still a person in the officialdom, Qin Jie quickly recovered, sighed and said: "Wentai doesn't know, it's true that you are going to take the North City Gate, but at that time, Zhang Mancheng had already discovered that the North City Gate was wrong, and quickly transferred 30,000 soldiers and horses from the other two city gates. If he didn't withdraw from the army, Wentai was afraid that he would fall there. ”
"Ahh Sun Jian just exclaimed, he never thought that Qin Jieming Jin was actually trying to protect himself, but he also misunderstood him, which couldn't help but make him feel a little guilty in his heart.
In the end, he was still a man who could pick up and put down, Sun Jian hurriedly apologized: "I was rude before, and I ask Lord Qin to atone for his sins." ”
Qin Jie nodded with satisfaction, his eyes flashed, and said, "It's okay, I still need more efforts from Wentai in the future." ”
"Dare to disobey!" Sun Jian clenched his fists and said firmly, with a little gratitude in his eyes.
"Lord Qiqi, a large number of Han troops are coming ten miles away, under the banner of Zhu Zi." Just as Qin Jie and Sun Jian were talking, a small soldier outside the door rushed in hurriedly and said respectfully.
