Chapter 111: Victory or Defeat (Subscription Requested)
It was August, the sky was clear, and the wind was smooth.
The Huaishui River near Tu Mountain.
Chai Kehong's fleet has sailed here.
Before he arrived in Shouzhou, halfway through, Chai Kehong got the news that Shouzhou City had been captured.
He couldn't help but marvel, looked back at the generals, and asked, "Do you know who captured Shouzhou guarded by Liu Gong?"
One of the generals said: "It's Chen Xu, the envoy of Wei Jun Shouzhou!"
Chai Kehong: "But Chen Xu, who became famous in Gao Ping's first battle?" He likes to write military books and history when he is young, usually drinks with friends, and likes to talk about the world, state affairs, and everything. In this era, information communication is very inconvenient, but such a major event as the Gaoping War, which affects the general trend of the world, is naturally very interesting, and the people who perform very well are naturally talked about by people, and their fame spreads quickly. Chai Kehong also knew this from a friend who had traveled to the Central Plains.
The general replied, "This is the man."
"I'm going to meet this guy when I have a chance, and see how capable he is!" Chai Kehong was full of fighting spirit.
A general asked: "General, since Shouzhou has been broken, do we have to make adjustments to our deployment?"
Chai Kehong said: "That's natural, Shouzhou has been broken, and our plan is to make some adjustments."
"But Shouzhou City is broken, and Liu Gong is more auspicious!" Chai Kehong looked at the Huaishui River in the distance, and spoke for a long time.
Our generals were captured, and the important town of Huaixi was broken, and I was really uncomfortable, as if I was covered with a layer of haze.
"Liu Gong has done his best." There is humanity.
Liu Renzhan has been in the army for 40 years and enjoys high prestige in the Southern Tang Army.
At this time, Liu Renzhan had been holding on to Shouzhou for two months, and it was not easy to resist the enemy's 300,000 horses and horses in turn.
Soon, a scout reported that a large number of Wei troops had been found near Tushan.
The scout said: "The subordinates found the Wei army camp south of Tushan, there are about 20,000 people and horses, all of them are the elite of the Wei army's forbidden army, and the main general is said to be Li Jixun."
"Haha." Chai Kehong laughed and said, "Shouzhou was attacked in advance, and the general would have been angry for a long time, so I will take Li Jixun out of anger today, and avenge Liu Gong by the way!" Let's go ashore and set up camp! ”
After speaking, the generals on the left and right looked at each other and hurriedly persuaded: "General, the Wei army is powerful, and they are all elite divisions of the forbidden army, our army is weak, I am afraid that we cannot be the enemy!"
Chai Kehong looked back left and right, and said disapprerovitically: "What you said is bad, everyone is a head and shoulder, and the Wei army is not invulnerable, I am afraid that he will do something." Although the forbidden army of the Wei army is elite, Li Jixun knows that there are brave and unscrupulous people, which is not worth mentioning! ”
He paused slightly, and continued: "A while ago, Liu Gong led his army out of the city, but Li Jixun's troops did not move, and he must have made Chen Xu discord with Shouzhou. Now that Shouzhou is newly broken, Li Jixun must be in a hurry to perform, fight a beautiful battle, and get back face, our army will not move, wait for him to attack, and let him suffer when the time comes! ”
The Southern Tang Army then went ashore and set up camp under Chai Kehong's order, and the barracks confronted Li Jixun's troops.
Chen Xu's attack on Shouzhou is of great significance, the news has long been known from far and near, and Li Jixun, who is Chen Xu's superior, naturally got the news.
Li Jixun felt that his face was faintly unnatural, as if someone had slapped him. Just about ten days ago, he also said that Chen Xu was "unfounded", and even when he left his fingers, he asserted that according to his siege deployment, it would take the year of the monkey to capture Shouzhou.
This is good, not only did he capture it, but he also captured it as soon as he was transferred for ten days.
He felt that he couldn't hold it on his face, and when he heard the scout's report, he found the Southern Tang fleet and went ashore to set up camp.
"Ben Jiang has no way to take Chen Xu now, can't he help you?" Li Jixun sneered, ready to take Chai Kehong and his troops and annihilate them all, so as to prove that he is not incompetent.
Then, Li Jixun, who was in a hurry, led the army straight to Chai Kehong's department, and Chai Kehong fought against the old and weak, was defeated, and retreated into the camp. Li Jixun led his troops to pursue "taking advantage of the victory" and attacked the Southern Tang military camp.
Unexpectedly, the Southern Tang army set fire to hay and other flammable materials, and then the smoke was filled, and the Wei army that rushed into the enemy camp was smoked so that the eyes, throat, mouth and nose were stimulated, and they couldn't see people clearly, and the Wei army was surrounded and divided by the rapidly diffusing smoke and the rising fire, and the top and bottom could not take care of each other, and the soldiers could not find the generals, and the soldiers could not find the soldiers, and there was chaos.
The generals could only shout and shout to flee the camp, and the figures were chaotic.
But how could Chai Kehong, who had been waiting for a long time, let them escape so smoothly, with an order, arrows rained down, Chai Kehong led a small number of elites, and took advantage of the chaos of the enemy army to defeat Li Jixun's troops.
Li Jixun's troops were defeated by the ambush soldiers, and they fled for dozens of miles all the way before they completely broke away from Chai Kehong's pursuers.
After escaping from the Southern Tang military camp, when Li Jixun gathered all the troops, another "good news" followed.
In another place, in the direction of the barracks where the Wei army was located, it was already on fire.
It turned out that before the war, Chai Kehong sent a small number of cavalry to attack the Wei army's Dazhai, which had not many troops to garrison, and set fire to it everywhere, intending to burn the Wei army's grain and grass and make it run out of food.
The effect was also very good, the task was successfully completed, and the Wei army's grain and grass suffered.
Li Jixun wanted to cry and looked at the charcoal-colored grain without tears, and was speechless for a long time.
Although the Wei army, which rushed back, quickly rescued the fire, it was too late, and the grain had already been burned. What kind of war is there without food, and 20,000 mouths are still waiting for food, Li Jixun had no choice but to hurriedly ask Li Gu, who is in charge of raising food, for help, urging him to allocate supplies as soon as possible.
Li Gu was already busy raising food for hundreds of thousands of troops, and the pressure was huge, and sometimes he couldn't even meet the grain and grass of each army, so after Li Gu knew about this kind of thing, he immediately played the emperor. I can't say it, Li Jixun is going to be famous in the whole army.
Since Lu Rong refused to negotiate peace, the Southern Tang side has launched a new round of counterattack.
Lu Mengjun, the general of the right guard of the Southern Tang Dynasty, led tens of thousands of troops from Changzhou (at this time, Wu Yue's army was defeated by Chai Kehong, captured tens of thousands of people, and recovered Changzhou to rush to Taizhou, at this time Taizhou was rejected by the Wei army, but the troops stationed were not many (attacking everywhere), so the Wei army immediately retreated when he saw this, and after Lu Mengjun successfully recovered Taizhou, he camped in Shugang non-stop, and wanted to attack Yangzhou, which was weakly defended.
Lu Rong, who was in Chuzhou, hurriedly ordered the palace front secretary to check Zhang Zaichun to quickly rescue Han Lingkun in Yangzhou, and sent Zhao Yuanlang, who had been promoted to the palace front secretary Yu Hou, to garrison Liuhe to prevent the Southern Tang army from landing on the west side of Guabu.
Sure enough, Li Jingda, the king of Qi in the Southern Tang Dynasty, led 20,000 horses to cross the river from Guabu, wanting to echo Lu Mengjun from afar, and the soldiers pointed directly at Yangzhou.
