292 Lujiang Offensive and Defensive Battles

Chen Lan and Lei Bo galloped all the way towards the Lujiang River, to be honest, he was really afraid that Cao Cao would chase after him quickly. This time they lost the entire Jiujiang, and I don't know if Liu Zhang will punish them. But at present, it seems that this is definitely the best way, I really didn't expect them to lose such a city instead of making meritorious service first.

After the team came to Anhui City, Lei Bo immediately came to the city and shouted: "Fuyi quickly open the city gate......" After running for more than a day, now it is really sleepy and lacking.

At this moment, Ji Ling and Li Feng also came to the city wall, saying that an army was coming, and they still didn't know what the situation was. But after seeing Chen Lan and Lei Bo outside, Ji Ling couldn't help but shout: "This is not Jiujiang's Lei Shoujiang?" Why did you bring so many people to Wancheng? Didn't you betray the lord again? For this kind of betrayal, Ji Ling really looks down on it.

Lei Bo didn't bother to argue with a fool like Ji Ling, and shouted directly: "Fu Yi, you don't want to delay the big thing, then Cao Cao led an army of seventy or eighty thousand to attack Jiujiang, and I waited for more than a thousand people to rush here." You should quickly repair the book and inform the lord, if the war is delayed, who will the lord ask? "They are also preparing to arm quickly, otherwise Cao Cao will be in trouble when he arrives here.

Ji Ling was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Cao Cao is here with an army of seventy or eighty thousand?" Saying that, he went down to the city and opened the city gate, and after Lei Bo and the others came in, Ji Ling and Li Feng inquired about the situation and immediately stepped up the arrangement of the entire city defense. A few fast horses immediately headed towards Yuzhang, and at this speed of more than a day, Huang Quan could receive the news. Then reinforcements will arrive soon, but Liu Zhang is afraid that it will take seven or eight days to get the news......

"Let's hurry up and arrange the city defense, then Cao Cao estimates that he will arrive in the afternoon. We must hold on until the lord's reinforcements arrive, and we only hope that Cao Cao's siege will not be too fierce. "Chen Lan has seen how the Cao army is attacking, this Anhui City is not a big city, but I don't know how many days it can last.

Ji Ling also understood the importance of the matter at this moment: "You guys go down and rest first, it's up to us here!" "There are so many of them who have come all the way to the scarcity, and now they can become fighting forces by going to have a good rest at night.

Cao Cao came quickly, and the marching army had already arrived at about noon. Ji Ling and the others looked at the slowly approaching army, and Cao Cao's people were several times more than themselves. The defenders in the city are only the original Liu Xun's elite soldiers, and they are only three or four thousand people, plus Chen Lan and others barely have more than 10,000 people. But Cao Cao's 80,000 army is too much, and if so many people attack the city fiercely, I am afraid it will be difficult for them to hold it for too long, and now I only hope that the reinforcements can be faster.

Cao Cao looked at Ji Ling and the others who had been prepared, he also knew these people, basically they were all Yuan Shu's generals, and he didn't expect that all of these people had surrendered to Liu Zhang. Looking at the soldiers on the city wall, Cao Cao's face was really heavy.

"Fuyi, surrender as soon as possible, you can't hold such a few people." Cao Cao couldn't help but persuade a few words, there are a lot of people here, I'm afraid it's not easy to fight down, if they attack, I'm afraid they will lose more personnel, the most important thing is that this place is too close to Yuzhang.

Ji Ling glanced at Cao Cao and didn't speak at all, to be honest, he should be grateful to Cao Cao. Being able to do things under Liu Zhang now should largely be due to Cao Cao. It's a pity that Ji Ling definitely has a lot of resentment towards Cao Cao, so he didn't speak at all, but stepped up the arrangement of city defenses.

Cao Cao looked at Ji Ling, who didn't speak, and said with a cold snort: "Take a day off and attack the city tomorrow." Urging officers at all levels to storm and take Anhui within three days. "It's really angry, he's a little general, how dare he do this to himself?

After a day's rest, Cao Cao continued to storm the city of Anhui. Although it is not a big city, the city wall is higher than two people together, and although the city wall is not thick, it is definitely not thin. Cao Cao didn't have many large-scale siege equipment under his rapid march, and it was estimated that it would be the third day when those things arrived.

Seeing that the soldier was carrying a knife and carrying a shield, he rushed straight forward. Now there is no way but to use human life to fill such a big loophole, and it is too bad for me to drag it out. Looking at the soldiers falling from the city wall like ants, their own soldiers are really worthless.

Liu Zhang's attack on Yuan Shu did not kill many people, and Liu Xun surrendered directly when he attacked Lujiang. But now that he is going to lose tens of thousands of lives, in such a comparison, how good does Cao Cao think he should have been if he wanted to attack this place in the first place? cheapened Liu Zhang for no reason, and also made himself lose tens of thousands of horses.

Sun Ce, who has now been heading towards Poyang Lake, also received Cao Cao's letter, and after reading the contents, Sun Ce smiled and said, "Can't you see that Cao Cao's speed is so fast?" Now that the attack on Lujiang has begun, it seems that there are definitely not many things like Liu Zhang's explosion. Sun Ce didn't expect Cao Cao to be so fast, but this was good for himself. At that time, he and Cao Cao can quickly attack Yuzhang, and when Liu Zhang reflects, Yuzhang is already his.

Zhou Yu took the letter and read it for a while and said: "That kind of thing should be by Liu Zhang's side, or Yuzhang has some, but it will definitely not be much." It seems that Cao Cao should be able to take Lujiang in four or five days, and we only need to confront Naganning at Poyang Lake and wait for Cao Cao's army. "Zhou Yu is not worried that Cao Cao will coax them at all, there is absolutely no need to worry about this.

Sun Ce nodded and said, "Send a message to Cao Cao and tell him that we have blocked Liu Zhang's sailor at Poyang Lake." When the time comes, he will come by land, and we will merge by water, which will catch Liu Zhang off guard when the time comes. "They don't have many men, but they have a lot of ships. Even if a few were destroyed last time, there were still quite a few of them.

Early the next morning, Cao Cao began to attack the city, and this time it was really a desperate rush. The three walls were full of dense Cao soldiers, which was enough to prove Cao Cao's determination. This kind of situation of defending everywhere was rushed onto the city wall by Cao Cao on the first day, but the few generals who stayed behind were by no means ordinary people, rushing up and killing and retreating once.

When it was time to sing gold in the evening, I didn't know how many people had died over there. It's just that judging from the corpses, Cao Jun still died more, and the city wall was also full of Cao Jun's corpses. Chen Lan and the others stood on the top of the city tower and watched for a while, and the onslaught of the Cao army seemed a little terrifying.

"Cao Jun came in a hurry today, presumably there will be siege equipment tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and it will be difficult for us to defend at that time. With so many elites storming us, we simply couldn't hold out for a few days. Li Feng glanced around, they actually killed hundreds of people today, it seems that there are not many people, but in fact, a lot of materials have been consumed.

Chen Lan looked at Cao Jun outside and sighed and said, "There are too many Cao soldiers, not only do we have few people here, but we don't even have many supplies." If Cao's army is still so fierce tomorrow, I'm afraid Lujiang won't be able to hold out for a few days. "The posture of such a fierce attack is even more terrifying than when it was in Jiujiang.

"Let's hold on for a few days to see when Lord Huang's reinforcements arrive, and today's situation will be passed quickly." At this point, another fast horse galloped away from the city.

In the following two days, Cao's army continued to attack fiercely, and with the cooperation of large equipment, the soldiers in the city began to suffer a large number of casualties. Cao Jun still frantically rushed towards Anhui City, this time Cao Jun rushed into the city wall several times, but the soldiers in the city were far more tenacious than they thought.

Huang Quan also received several messages in more than two days, looking at the letters and newspapers, Huang Quan's heart was really anxious. What is the situation in Wancheng that others don't know, can he still not know? Looking at the envelope in his hand, Huang Quan hurriedly said: "At this time, even if it reaches Jingzhou, it will be too late, then Cao Cao is so desperate that I am afraid that the lord has already been captured before he gets the news." "Huang Quan is very anxious, Cao Cao came too suddenly. At this time, Liu Zhang is in Xiangyang, and it may take a long time from here to Xiangyang and back. At that time, the daylilies were cold, and the current situation could not be solved at all.

"Lord Huang, even if there are reinforcements, I'm afraid it will be seven or eight days later, then Sun Ce is blocking our naval army in Poyang Lake, this Chaisang soldiers and horses are not many, if the Cao army crosses the river and comes, how can we hold Chaisang?" Now it is not a problem of Lujiang, but how to keep Chaisang.

Huang Quan thought for a while and said, "Immediately send a message to Chen Lan, Ji Ling and others, asking them to withdraw their troops and return to Chaisang as soon as possible." Lujiang gave up completely, and there was no point in sticking to it. "Chai Sang has been in business for a long time, and there has long been a precursor to a big city here, although there are more people here than Lujiang, but Cao Cao is the main force after all.

Gan Ning listened to Huang Quan's words, and it seemed that this was not bad. As long as they stick to Chaisang, Lujiang will still be theirs sooner or later. Thinking of this, Gan Ning took the order and left, and at this time the messenger had already headed towards Xiangyang. Jiangxia's Huang Zu was the first to get the news, and he also sent a messenger to prepare to support Chai Sang, Liu Zhang said before that Chai Sang must not be lost, if something happened to him, Huang Zu must take action.

Huang Zu asked his subordinates to prepare food for the envoy on the road, but he himself went to order troops to prepare for action. If Chai Sang is lost, then Liu Zhang will blame him, and he will definitely not be happy. In general, Liu Zhang is much better than Liu Biao, and the benefits during the Chinese New Year are not less than him, and he also has his own industry in the workshop here. In general, Liu Zhang is still a good lord, since this is the case, he must take the initiative.

All sides are moving, and the city of Anhui in Lujiang seems to be in jeopardy. After a few days of fighting, the soldiers in Anhui City began to die in large numbers, but the Cao army definitely died more than them. The two sides are now waiting for this breath to see who can't hold it first. At this time, Huang Quan's messenger also arrived in the city, and Chen Lan and others were ready to withdraw their troops after seeing it, and this Lujiang River could not be defended.
