461, attack and defend Danyang, which changed hands
"Okay, leave this matter to the old man! Ahem......"
Xu Shao also nodded in agreement, but he didn't care much about the affairs of the official, and looking at him, he seemed to be a little sickly, and his body was obviously a little weak.
In the original history, Xu Shao actually died of illness at about the same time as Liu Xuan, and from now on, it seems that this Xu Shao has also had a sign of illness.
"Why, Mr. Zijiang is also sick! That gentleman went to Yuzhang, but he could go to the medical craftsman to see a good life, and don't delay the illness! ”
Wang Yuyan seemed to have regarded herself as half of Jiangdong's master at this time, and seeing that Xu Shao seemed to be a little sick, she also asked with concern, although Wang Yuyan didn't know that Xu Shao would have died of illness during this time, but now there are indeed many famous doctors in the medical craftsman here in Yuzhang, and maybe it can change Xu Shao's death date.
In any case, this Xu Shao can be regarded as a famous celebrity in the world, and if he is placed in Yuzhang, he can also be used as a benchmark for recruiting talents.
Xu Shao smiled faintly and shook his head, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a little cold!" The old man just sighed that Liu Gong was just sighing, and in the future, Jiangdong would entrust Qian Tanghou, and Liu Gong would be able to rest assured if he wanted to! ”
"This matter still needs Liu Gong's guidance! Well, by the way, and, General Zhang Ying, you are willing to go back to the army with me to fight Sun Ce! ”
Wang Yuyan saw that Xu Shao also recognized Zhu Wei's name as Jiangdong, so she said politely, and then turned her eyes and saw Zhang Ying, Zhang Ying could barely be regarded as a second-rate general, and at this time he was the only one who controlled the military power here.
Therefore, Wang Yuyan asked him again, just now Wang Yuyan found that he was obviously angry with him, but now Zhang Ying's expression seems to have changed.
Zhang Ying was indeed a little dissatisfied with Zhu Wei's army coming to help so slowly, plus he was Liu Xuan's confidant, and now that Liu Xuan is dead, he is also very sad in his heart, so he naturally put some hatred on the reason why Zhu Wei's army was late.
But just after listening to Wang Yuyan's words, he can be regarded as accepting some of these reasons.
Originally, according to normal speaking, he had 15,000 soldiers to guard Danyang City, while Sun Ce only had 8,000 elite main forces, and the others were young and strong new troops with little combat experience, plus the people who drove around.
Therefore, if Zhang Ying guards Danyang City, it should not be a problem, he should be able to use the battle to defend the city to consume Sun Ce's troops little by little, and in the end, it is possible for that Sun Ce to return in vain in the face of the city wall, but he took advantage of the situation to defend and counterattack.
But under Sun Ce's drive, he first used ordinary people to consume his city defense materials, and also used the lives of these ordinary people to make his soldiers a little soft-hearted, which affected the morale of his soldiers, and then Sun Ce let his brave generals take those young and strong new troops to attack the city day and night, so that Zhang Ying had no time to let his soldiers take turns to rest, and could only send a team of soldiers to fight to the death like filling a hole.
In the end, Sun Ce personally took the elite soldiers trained by Guangling and suddenly rushed to the city, which really made Zhang Ying a little tired to deal with.
As a result, the more than 15,000 soldiers Zhang Ying used to defend the city, plus the young men who were later recruited in Danyang City, were consumed by Sun Ce's cruel tactics within a few days, and Sun Ce's soldiers gradually changed from bloodless recruits to murderous and numb veterans as the battle continued, so that their combat effectiveness became stronger and stronger.
Now that Zhang Ying thinks about it, he still has some fear in his heart.
In this way, Zhang Ying used his own experience, thinking that if Zhou Yu also brought this kind of soldiers, with the help of Moling County to defend against Zhu Wei's army, it seemed really difficult to overcome, and it was no wonder that Tai Shici would be defeated by Zhou Yu twice.
In addition, now that Hua Xin and Xu Shao have both thrown themselves to Zhu Wei's side, what else can he do.
Zhang Ying is now in his forties, and he also wants to think about his future, so at this moment, his expression changed a little, and he said rudely, "Since I avenge the Lord, a certain family is willing to go with Wang Junshi!" ”
This Zhang Ying and Wang Yuyan are also old acquaintances, when they were in Liyang before, Zhang Ying and Fan Neng sent troops to attack Sun Ce and were defeated, but Wang Yuyan's fire plan saved the situation, and Zhang Ying also inherited the kindness of Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan at that time.
Now that Wang Yuyan has recovered her womanhood, Zhang Ying still uses the old title, but she can be regarded as subduing Wang Yuyan.
"Well, then General Zhang still ordered the remnants of the soldiers to go with me, Mr. Hua Xin can also go with me, Mr. Zi General, please take all of you here and Liu Gongling's coffin, and sail to Yuzhang!"
When Wang Yuyan saw Zhang Ying's statement, she knew that Zhang Ying could basically be ambushed, but it was a pity that she couldn't see their loyalty directly like Zhu Wei, so now she only secretly made arrangements in her heart, but she didn't really trust them.
"No!"
Everyone also promised Wang Yuyan, at this moment, Wang Yuyan has turned against the guest and has completely become the person in charge here, and the people here are also happy to listen to her arrangement.
Wang Yuyan determined Zhu Weiji's status as the lord of Jiangdong here, and then swallowed all the forces left by Liu Miao under Zhu Wei's control, and then sent Liu Miao's coffin to board the ship to Yuzhang, and then took Huang Zhong, Hua Xin, Zhang Ying and Liu Miao's remnants back to the military camp near Danyang City.
At this time, the attack and defense of Danyang City changed hands, and Sun Cezhi's army, which originally attacked Danyang City, became the defender of the city, but Zhu Weizhi's army set up a military fortress five miles away from the west side of Danyang City, and could send troops to attack Danyang City at any time.
However, Sun Ce's army in Danyang City now has more than 20,000 troops, in addition to the six or seven thousand elite soldiers brought from Guangling County, there are also 14,000 or 5,000 new troops trained with the previous war.
To be honest, Sun Ce's strength at the moment is not less than that of Wang Yuyan's side, and he occupies Danyang City as a battle, and it is not easy for Wang Yuyan to easily capture Danyang City.
Fortunately, although Sun Ce has a large number of troops at the moment, and his combat effectiveness has been tempered, the grain and grass in the army are still a big problem, and the grain and grass are insufficient.
Therefore, Sun Ce definitely couldn't hold out in Danyang City for too long, and at the same time, the news that Wujun's side had been attacked by the Jingzhou naval army on the side of the newly surrendered Zhu Wei also spread to Danyang City, and Yan Baihu, who was located in Wucheng, even sent a messenger to Sun Ce's side asking for help, begging Sun Ce to send troops to rescue him.
In this way, Sun Ce suddenly found that his retreat had been cut off by Zhu Wei's army, and now although Sun Ce occupied Danyang City, he seemed to be forced by Zhu Wei's army into a lone army with no way out.
For this reason, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have discussed many times, and they have recruited their subordinates to discuss together, just to find a way out and retreat......
