Chapter 44: The Battle of Jiangxia (2)
The fourth year of Han Jianxing, that is, the seventh year of Wei Huangchu and the autumn and August of the fifth year of Wu Huangwu
On the surface of the Great River in the south of Shiyang City
In a flash, a subtle smile bloomed at the corner of Slag Quan's mouth, stretched out his right hand, and then gently pressed forward with his index finger, and said indifferently to the generals behind him: "In this battle, the widow swears to take this city!" β
On the ship, he was accompanied by General Yangwu Zhonglang, Jiangxia Taishou Sun Huan, General Zhenwei, Liyang Hou Pan Zhang, General Andong, Wuhu Hou Xu Sheng, General Zhaowu, Dangyang Hou Zhu Ran, etc
Sun Huan, as the son of Sun Jing, the fourth brother of Sun Jian, and the cousin of Zhai Quan, watched his cousin standing on the bow of the ship at this moment, frowning slightly, to tell the truth, Sun Huan did not have much hope for this attack by taking advantage of the power of others (only three months after Cao Pi hung up).
He was added as Jiangxia Taishou (actually only controlling the counties on the south bank of the Yangtze River), as a bridgehead for attacking and monitoring Wenpin, knowing that the benevolent brother in the north was not easy to mess with, and wanted to take advantage of the new funeral of the old lord of Wei and the beginning of the new lord, I am afraid it will not be so easy.
Moreover, he was also very worried about the military talents of his own king, which was undoubtedly revealed by the frequent changes in the country's governance.
It is said that since he took charge of the great cause of Jiangdong independently, the political center of Soochow has never been settled, and it has always been where the capital is located.
For a period of time before and after the Red Cliff War, the two families of Sun and Liu were like glue and honey, and Zhuge Liang went to Jiangdong to praise Moling: "Zhongshan Dragon Pan, Stone Tiger Standing, this is the emperor's house." "Persuade the Lord to fix his capital here.
Two years later, Da Er (Liu Bei) and the Lord traveled to Moling together, and Da Er also strongly persuaded the Lord to go to Moling.
In the sixteenth year of Jian'an, the lord officially moved to govern Moling, built a stone city, and changed Moling to Jianye. Then in the past ten years, the lord has been sending troops from Jianye to the north to Huainan and Xuzhou, during which he has gained nothing except for a great victory in Anhui.
Later, LΓΌ Meng crossed the river in white clothes and occupied Jingzhou, and in order to prevent Liu Bei's soldiers from taking revenge, he moved to the public security (Liu belonged to the political and military center of Jingzhou). Later, the company camp was burned, and Da Er was beaten by Lu Xun, and then Wu Shu negotiated peace, and there was no war in the west, and Guan Yuxing, the main school, ran to Xiangyang and Fancheng...... didn't give up, but made a fuss.
Seeing that the defense line of Xiangfan of Wei State was tight and stable, and there were no defects, the lord set his sights on Jiangxia Wenpin, left Zhuge Jin to guard the public security, and then moved the capital to Wuchang, planning to change places and try a different way.
But Sun Huan and Wenpin Wang Ba stared at mung beans here, staring at each other for so long, knowing that Wenpin is not a soft persimmon to be kneaded, and the king is afraid that he will return again this time.
On the bow of the ship, Sun Zhongmou, who was in silver armor and silver helmet, stood proudly in the wind, and at this moment his heart rose with pride.
Although the Wu army could not directly attack Shiyang City from the river, the magnificent momentum of this huge naval division and the overwhelming army would also psychologically deter the enemy army and make it fearful.
Perhaps, there is also the effect of surrendering without a fight.
Although Sun Quan also knew that the possibility of such a cheap good thing happening was very small, he ............ For a noble second generation, it is always good to be able to pretend to be forced once.
The fleet slashed through the waves, and the scum power stood on the bow of the ship for a long time, and then raised his right hand again, and ordered in a faint and unquestionable tone: "Herald: blow the trumpet!" Turn the rudder! Find the nearest ferry landing! β
Woo~~~
The desolate and majestic horn sounded from the building boat, and the flag flew, and for a while, the ships of the Wu Army's sailors turned to look east, and finally disappeared at the end of the river with the color of the sky and water.
When you come, you are magnificent, and when you go, you are domineering.
At the head of the southern city of Shiyang, looking at the Wu Junshui Division Qianfan disappeared, Wen Ping breathed a long sigh of relief, and still had palpitations.
In the face of such a large and mighty fleet, it would be a lie to say that you are not afraid.
"Where is the Shiyang Order?" Suddenly, Wen Ping turned around and glanced at the generals and asked.
In the crowd, a young official wearing an official uniform with a copper seal and black ribbon stepped forward and replied: "The lowly Shiyang Order is here!" β
Looking at Shi Yangling, Wen Ping asked: "You have ordered you to organize the people to collect stones, rolling wood and other things, do you have all the resources?" β
Shi Yang Ling bowed to Wen Ping and said, "General Qiyu, everything has been packed up. β
"Good!" Wen Ping exclaimed loudly, pressed his sword and ordered: "The Wu thieves will immediately land and attack, I order: Shiyang City will immediately enter a state of alert, and the whole army will be ready to fight and not slack off!" β
"No!" All the generals and officials at the head of the city bowed to Wen Ping and sang promises in their mouths.
Thirty miles east of Shiyang City, Xiakou Port
A large contingent of Wu army's sailors docked at the port here, and groups of Wu army foot soldiers disembarked from various ships and ships and assembled in the open space outside the port.
At this moment, Jiangxia Taishou and Yangwu Zhonglang were the first to dock with 10,000 soldiers and horses from Sun Huan's headquarters, and they had already completed the assembly at this moment.
Sun Huan rode on a horse, constantly beating horses back and forth to inspect his troops, and Dongwu implemented the lineage leading system, it can be said that the army in front of him is Sun Huan's troops, and it is his reliance!
What kind of army is this - guns and halberds like a forest, flags fluttering, straight back, high fighting spirit!
I have to say that the lineage system sometimes has its merits, for example, in order to maintain his position, Sun Huan has always maintained the combat effectiveness of his troops at a fairly high level.
After reviewing the troops, Sun Huan rode his horse back to the front of the battle, was angry, gritted his teeth, and popped out four words in his mouth: "Drumming!" Troops! β
"Zhonglang will have an order: beat the drum! Troops! β
"Drumming! Troops! β
"Drumming! Troops! β
Sun Huan gave an order, and the more than 100 Lingqi waiting for the order behind him immediately scattered in all directions, constantly repeating Sun Huan's order, and issuing it to all departments, songs, and even tuns.
Boom! Knock knock! Knock knock!
A moment later, the war drums on the drum tower were also beaten, and the roar of the exciting war drums resounded in the sky above Xiakou Harbor in an instant.
A quarter of an hour later, the whole army slowly marched out, and the marching army turned into a long dragon, looking at Shiyang City to the west. Then, Sun Huan also instigated his horses and led his own soldiers into the queue, merging into the neat white wave.
Previously, he Sun Huan had made a military order to open roads and build bridges in the mountains and rivers for the vanguard, paving the way for the subsequent attack of the army.
Sun Quan was still stationed on the building boat at this moment, looking at Sun Hanjun's neat queue, he was quite emotional, and turned back to the generals and said: "At first, the widow was worried that Ji Ming was sluggish, but now looking at his governance of the army, few of the generals can no longer worry. β
Dusk, Shiyang City
Since the Wu army's sailors appeared on the river, Wen Ping concluded that the Wu army would arrive today, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, the Wu army really arrived as scheduled.
In the continuous sound of trumpets, the banner that obscures the sky and the sun slowly appears from the eastern horizon.
Immediately behind the banner is a dense crowd of Wu soldiers, first wearing heavy armor, holding a large shield, then holding a halberd, wearing light armor of the sharp soldiers, and then leather armor, carrying a bow and crossbow with a quiver, behind which there are dead soldiers, miscellaneous servants and people, extending from the foot of Shiyang City to the end of the field of vision, connecting the sky and the earth, endlessly.
Although Sun Huan's army only has more than 10,000 people, and the backbone of the battle may only be eight or nine thousand, although the sparrow is small - it has all kinds of organs, this is a standardized infantry corps with complete attack and defense!
Wen Ping and the generals looked solemn in an instant, and the people who came ............ Not good!
