Chapter 145: Lu Meng was defeated
"Zhang Liaopifu, shameless and obscene!" Lu Meng scolded angrily, struggling to resist Zhang Liao's big knife with his gun. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The one who saves me will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and he will be crowned by the marquis of ten thousand households!" The flustered Lu Meng increased his chips and shouted in horror. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that in fact, Lu Meng is writing a blank check, not to mention sealing ten thousand households, even ten households will not be able to do it. In order to save his life, Lu Meng let it go, as for when he will cash it out and whether he can do it is another matter. The immediate priority is to save lives.
As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under the reward.
"The governor is panicking, I'm here to save you." As soon as the words fell, an unlucky guy named Song Qian came out in response, danced a big knife, shouted, and killed Zhang Liao. He is a partial general under Lu Meng, who uses a big knife and has some courage.
"With the help of General Lao Song, after the governor returns, he will play the lord, wait for the general, and reward ten thousand gold!" Lu Meng was overjoyed, and used the power of his life to fight Zhang Liao with Song Qian, and wanted to combine the strength of the two to slaughter Zhang Liao in one fell swoop.
Who knows, Zhang Liao, as the first fierce general of the Cao Army, is not a person who has lost his name, and he has the courage of ten thousand people, even two more Song Qian cannot shake him. When Zhang Liao saw that Lu Meng had come to help, he became even more excited, his anger rose, and he rose up and attacked the two of them in a storm. The sword light was shining, the murderous aura was compelling, and the sword shadow was huo, enveloping Lu Meng and Song Qian.
The two of them were frightened by Zhang Liao's powerful murderous aura, their hearts were frightened, and they were at a loss.
Zhang Liao's eyes were like torches, he looked carefully, forced Song Qian away, and the big knife slashed down to protect his whole body like lightning, but Lu Meng suddenly withdrew the knife halfway, and the horse's reins turned the horse's head and fled.
Zhang Liao was in a hurry, glared and shouted: "Lu Meng's dog thief is gone, stay for your life!" ”
Song Qian never dreamed that Lu Dudu, who was wise and martial in his mind and was accustomed to fighting, would do this, using tricks to lure himself into the bait as a substitute for the dead, but he escaped from the battle.
Song Qian was shocked and angry, regretted a lot, desperately resisted Zhang Liao's knife, and wanted to escape, Zhang Liao allowed him to succeed, the big knife flashed, Mount Tai crushed to Song Qian, Song Qian could not avoid it, so he had to raise his knife to resist, only to hear a "click", the knife shaft was cut into two pieces, Song Qian didn't have time to scream, the head flew into the sky, and the blood of the corpse sprayed and fell into the dust.
Lu Meng looked back and saw that his soul was scattered, and he was about to escape. Zhang Liao looked at Lu Meng's embarrassed back, and when he was annoyed, the bowstring sounded, but Hao Ran found that behind Lu Meng, three giant arrows flashed with cold light like shadows, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Lu Meng has been in battle for a long time, his ears and eyes are sensitive, he heard the sound of the arrow wind breaking through the air, and the secret way was not good, in a hurry, he flicked back with a knife, and the two were knocked to the ground by him with a "sonorous" sound, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice. He never thought that another fish had slipped through the net and burrowed into his body.
A huge force suddenly came from the waist, the sound of "poof" into the flesh sounded, severe pain, soreness and numbness from the spine and nerves to the brain, Lu Meng couldn't help but let out a heart-rending scream like killing a pig, his hands tightly held the horse's neck, lay on the horse's back, desperately stabilized his body, and galloped away.
The partial general Song Qian was killed, the main general was wounded and fled, the Jiangdong army was broken, everyone was in danger, lost their armor, and fled in defeat.
At this scene, Zhang Liao was overjoyed and shouted: "Jiangdong rats, Lu Meng dog thieves, you are not my opponent, let the blue-eyed child come in person!" ”
"General, it's a pity to let Lu Meng escape." Liu Tong held a strong bow and smiled bitterly. I felt sorry for Liu Chan in my heart, because Liu Chan had specially told him before that he must find an opportunity to shoot Lu Meng.
"It turned out to be a series of cloud-piercing arrows shot by Zhong Yi! It's awesome. I will give you a lot of rewards. Zhong Yi rest assured, even if Lu Meng doesn't die this time, he will shed his skin, and lie down for at least ten days and half a month. This time, thanks to the elder brother's plan, we were able to annihilate all of Lu Meng's scouts, making him blind and deaf, and we were able to succeed in one blow. Zhang Liao patted Liu Tong, who was covered in blood, and admired it.
It turned out that Zhang Liao obeyed Liu Tong's plan, selected crossbowmen with excellent archery skills from the army, formed a special sniper team, and hunted and killed dozens of scouts scattered by Lü Meng first, so that Lü Meng could not get any news when Zhang Liao and Yu banned attacks.
"Congratulations to General Zhang, congratulations to Brother Zhong Yi!" Chen Lan and Mei Cheng also surrounded them, and it could be seen that they were also blood-stained robes and killed countless Jiangdong soldiers.
Zhang Liao soothed with kind words, thinking that they worked so hard to kill the enemy because they hated Sun Quan deeply. What Zhang Liao didn't expect was that the real reason was that their brother secretly followed Liu Chan's order to kill more Jiangdong troops and try to provoke Cao Sun's blood feud.
For a time, the 8,000 Jiangdong troops at the south gate retreated like a tide, and the Jiangdong troops at the other gates also withdrew one after another when they heard the news.
Zhang Liao and Yu Ban did not chase either, and quickly gathered their troops and drove into the city.
Zhang Xi and Jiang Ji were overjoyed, and hurriedly came to welcome them into the Taishou Mansion.
After everyone sat down, when they knew that there were only 8,000 reinforcements, they couldn't help but be stunned.
Zhang Xi asked in surprise: "I waited on the city wall to see the two generals leading the two military horses, the smoke and dust rolling, covering the sky and the sun, and the flags were rolling, thinking that there were tens of thousands of military horses. May I ask how General Zhang and General Yu did it. ”
"What's so difficult about this, Wen Yuan is just a little trick. Let the sergeants spread their banners, and each horse should be tied to a branch, and when they run, the sky will be full of sand and dust, as if there were thousands of horses. Because of the suddenness of the incident, Lu Meng didn't have time to think about it, and our army was fierce, so it was expected that he would defeat the Jiangdong army," Yu Ban said with a smile.
"General Zhang and General Yu are both wise and brave, and they are terrifying to the enemy, just like a god descending from heaven, it is really our army's Hong Fuye!" Zhang Xi and Jiang Ji stood up and bowed.
"Where, today's victory depends on the sincere unity of all of you here, bravely killing the enemy, especially General Zhang and Jiang Bei, who are not afraid of danger, command properly, abide by the law, and only then can they ensure that Hefei is not lost, and they should be remembered for their first credit." Zhang Liao waved his hand and said modestly.
"With the help of Wenyuan, Wen Ze, Xuangao and other fierce generals and 8,000 new forces, Hefei must be solid, even if Sun Quan personally levied it, he didn't have a good tooth to gnaw on, but he was afraid that he would not lose a handful of rice by stealing chickens. Hahaha! Zhang Xi smiled from ear to ear.
"The top priority now is to repair the city wall in case the Jiangdong army will not die and attack the city again. General Zhang and Jiang Beijia were asked to quickly organize people to repair the city, repair ordnance, replenish military supplies, appease people's hearts, settle the wounded, arrest spies, and strengthen patrols. Zhang Liao said thoughtfully.
"However, what Wen Yuan said is very true, this matter cannot be delayed, and it should be done immediately. At the same time, it is necessary to send more scouts to reconnoiter the movements of the Jiangdong Army and find out the location of the reinforcements in Xuchang. Yu Ban added.
"The rest of the people shall do their duty and their responsibilities, and there shall be no mistake. If there is any slackness, military law will be conducted. Zhang Liao's face was like sinking water, and he said loudly.
"No!" The crowd roared into orders.
Lü Meng led the Jiangdong army to a great defeat, and was so embarrassed that sharp arrows pierced his waist and bleed several liters, almost paralyzing it.
Lu Meng was lying on the hospital bed, his hair was messy, his face was like gold paper, and his face was full of frustration, letting the doctor treat his wounds while listening to Zhu Ran's report.
In this battle, the Jiangdong Army suffered more than 2,000 casualties, plus 3,000 casualties since the siege of the city, the total number exceeded 5,000. Lu Meng was seriously injured, Zhou Tai fell into the city after the corpse was not dead, lucky to pick up a life, the main general, the vanguard were hit hard, and Hefei stood still, not an inch of land, it can be described as a heavy loss, the Jiangdong army was hit hard, morale was very low, mourning was everywhere, and people's hearts were floating.
Lu Meng heard mixed feelings, his face was like ashes, desperate, and lamented. In the end, the two thought that Hefei had Zhang Liao and Yu Ban reinforcements to help, and the morale was high, impregnable, and it was difficult to conquer for a while, so they decided to report the battle situation to Sun Quan, and the battle or retreat was decided by Sun Quan, leaving Zhu Ran, Xu Sheng, and Ding Feng to lead 10,000 troops to stick to the camp on the shore, and Lu Meng led the main force and the wounded soldiers to wash their feet into the ship and wait for reinforcements.
In the afternoon of the same day, in the Wuhou Mansion, the civil and military gathered. Sun Quan was very angry about Lu Xun's defeat, and couldn't help but deduct Lu Xun's one-year salary as a punishment and sent Lu Xun to guard Chaisang. Gan Ning and Pan Zhang, who did not obey military orders, were demoted from generals to captains, and went out with the army to make meritorious contributions.
"Zijing, what's the situation with Lu Meng?" Sun Quan asked listlessly and weakly.
"My lord, I haven't received a military report yet." The burly Lu Su replied respectfully. Although he strongly opposed Sun Quan's dispatch of troops to Jingzhou, now that the defeat was decided, it was useless to say more, so he had to remain silent.
As soon as the words fell, I heard someone shouting: "Lord, Hefei urgent report!", a scout servant broke into the lobby and knelt in front of Sun Quan, and the inner servant hurriedly handed the military report to Sun Quan.
"Could it be that Ziming has succeeded?!" Sun Quan was overjoyed, raised his eyebrows, snatched the military newspaper, and quickly browsed it. After a while, Sun Quan's breathing became heavy, his face turned from flushed to iron-blue, his thick eyebrows were upside down, his blue eyes were spewing fire, his face was hideous, and his hands trembled.
"Ah, damn it! It's really a bad year! Sun Quan was gloomy and depressed, and in a fit of anger, he tore up the military newspaper, collapsed on the desk and beat it, roaring like a wolf.
When Lu Su saw Sun Quan like this, he knew that something was wrong, and he didn't dare to ask Sun Quan, so he had to ask the scout, and the scout briefly explained the defeat of Lu Meng's army in Hefei, the loss of 5,000 soldiers, and the injury of the general.
The faces of Lu Su and the military generals of Wenchen became gloomy, they looked at each other, exchanged heads and ears, and there were many discussions, and the hall was gloomy.
Everyone stared at each other, and they didn't dare to persuade Sun Quan on the head, they all looked at Zhang Zhao, the head of the oldest ministers, and Zhang Zhao couldn't stand Sun Quan's appearance as a woman, he stepped out of the class and said bitterly: "Zhongmou, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, why do you act like this woman, what kind of system does it become?!" ”
"Please teach me Mr. Zibu." Sun Quan was shocked, and was extremely reluctant to sit upright, looked at Zhang Zhao guiltily, and arched his hand. Zhang Zhao is not only the elder of Jiangdong and the head of the ministers, but also Sun Quan's teacher and minister, so Sun Quan does not dare to slack off.
"I heard that Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was repeatedly defeated by Xiang Yu when Chu and Han fought, and the wolf rushed to the pig, repeatedly defeated, defeated again and again, never discouraged, and finally destroyed Xiang Yu in one fell swoop in the battle of Qixia, creating a centuries-old Han family foundation. Now, the lord has not yet started a great cause, and he is flustered when he has just suffered a small setback, and his behavior is at a loss, and he is in a slump, how to dominate the world and achieve hegemony in the future. Zhang Zhao's rhetoric was strong, righteous and colorful, and bluntly admonished.
