Chapter 199: The End of Yuan Shu
Xu Hu commanded the troops, originally defending Taiwan Island, Yang Xi did not think of letting him face people like Zhou Yu, but Yang Xi assigned him a team of special service battalions, including ten flying balls, even if he couldn't attack, it shouldn't be difficult to defend.
Sun Quanjun only has 20,000 horses, and Xu Hu and Wang Lang combined have 20,000, and it is impossible to tell the winner in a short time.
In late September, Sun Quan crossed the river and surrounded the Lingcheng, and Wang Lang had more than 10,000 county soldiers, fighting to the death.
Zhou Yu suggested encircling the point to send reinforcements, and then switched to only besieging and not attacking, waiting for Shangyu Xu Hu to send troops to relieve the siege, and then surrounded and annihilated, Xu Hu did not move.
Besieged the city for three more days, seeing that Xu Hu did not move, Zhou Yu led his troops to attack Xu Hu.
Xu Hu had an insight into Zhou Yu's intentions, but he only defended according to the village and did not fight, Zhou Yu ordered Cheng Pu and others to call the battle every day, but there was no response.
So Zhou Yu ordered to take Shangyu City, and the defenders in the city were Cao Yu, who was only 2,000 county soldiers, how could they withstand 10,000 soldiers and horses.
But Xu Hu had already found out Zhou Yu's intentions, so he summoned Wang Lang of Guling City and asked him to save him.
Wang Lang naturally couldn't see death without help, so he poured out of the city, Zhou Yu thought he had a plan, and ordered Cheng Pu to lead the troops to ambush.
The two armies did not know that this was Xu Hu throwing bait, and when Cheng Pu ambushed Wang Lang, Xu Hu led 5,000 soldiers and killed from behind Cheng Pu, Wang Lang fought back, Cheng Pu was defeated, and led the army back to the camp.
Between Wang Lang's camp and Guling City and Shangyu, only 2,000 people were left to defend the city, Xu Hu was still guarding Shangyu Port, and Sun Quan was thirty miles away from Shangyu City, but the two sides fell into anxiety.
Yang Xi also rushed to Shangyu at this time, listened to Xu Hu's report on the situation, and decided to hold the troops first.
Attacking the opponent's camp will definitely lose soldiers and horses, so it is better to wait for the opponent to make a move, and then target it.
There is one thing Zhou Yu miscalculated, he thought that only Tai Shi Ci all the way to attack Guangling County 6,000 soldiers and horses, but Yang Xi ordered Zu Lang to also lead 6,000 troops to attack other counties in Guangling, Tai Shi Ci's 6,000 soldiers are just a way to obstruct the eyes.
Jiaozhou in the south, at this time Lu Su only left 5,000 soldiers in Jiaozhou, in case of mutation, he led 25,000 soldiers to attack Huiji immediately, but Huiji was long and narrow, if you want to attack the battlefield of Shangyu, even if the road is smooth, no one can not come down in twenty or thirty days.
Sun Quan and Zhou Yu are discussing countermeasures in the tent at the moment, their own food and grass are only enough for a few days, and if they don't break a city, there will be chaos.
Yuan Shu couldn't hold out, Tai Shici was not in a hurry, Zu Lang had already taken Hailing from the east.
The one who guarded Hailing was Fan Lu who followed Sun Ce first, this person was Sun Ce's diehard loyalist, and he won Sun Quan's trust and let him sit in Hailing, but he was a horn with Yuan Shu, and when Zu Lang arrived, Fan Lu couldn't hold out.
But Tai Shi Ci and Zu Lang both got Yang Xi's orders, no matter what, even if the city could not be taken, it was not allowed to be attacked.
The attack was lost, and Yang Xi could not accept it.
Siege three days, only half of the grain and grass left, Zulang deputy regiment two dogs said: "If you want to go to Hailing, but you have to go out of the city, the regiment commander might as well pretend to withdraw the army tomorrow, go north to get Gaoyou, Gaoyou soldiers are few, only one or two thousand county soldiers, if Lu Fan saves, and then ambush it, if Lu Fan does not save, then take Gaoyou, in order to make a long-term plan." ”
Zu Lang went to get Gaoyou according to the plan of the two dogs, and it was not fifty miles, and sure enough, the spies returned, and Lu Fan led troops to intercept the back road, but he followed from a distance and was not in a hurry.
"It seems that Lu Fan is equal to when I attack Gaoyou, and then cover up, bloom in the middle, and peel the skin on the periphery." Zu Lang has a flying sphere, so he naturally understands the other party's intentions.
Ergou said: "Lu Fan is careful, he is not in a hurry to chase, the scout is also extremely in place, the head of the regiment can lead him out for dozens of miles, and then turn around to attack him." ”
Zu Lang also relied on the plan of the two dogs, and Lu Fan did not know the plan until he found out that Zu Lang fought back, but he had 3,000 soldiers and horses, and ambushed 6,000 people, but the victory or defeat was unpredictable, so Lu Fan led the troops to ambush on the side of the mountain.
Unexpectedly, Zu Lang seemed to have eyes in the sky, and he knew Lu Fan's intentions, and when he was about to enter the encirclement, he actually divided the troops into two ways, anti-encirclement of Lu Fan, and killed the generals behind both sides.
Zu Lang led the army back to Hailing, at this time Hailing was already an empty city, it was effortless, and there were more than 1,000 troops, and Zu Lang dismissed, leaving only two dogs to lead 3,000 people to garrison Anmin, and establish a system.
Zu Lang went down to Hailing, waved his army and went to Guangling.
Although the two guarded Jiujiang together, they rarely met, only once or twice a year, and after greetings, they began to discuss strategies to break the enemy.
Tai Shi Ci said: "I don't want my ancestor to take Hailing so quickly, but I am here to waste." “
Zu Lang said: "Yuan Shu is different from Lu Fan, Yuan Shu still has a few strategists around him, and he is already a frightened bird, so he doesn't dare to go out of the city easily, but only dares to hold on." However, didn't Childe hand over the last ultimate weapon to Ziyi for safekeeping, why didn't he use it? ”
Tai Shi Ci said: "Gongzi said, give me seven days, if you can't break the city without blood in seven days, you can use gunpowder." ”
Zu Lang said: "There are still two days left, and it seems that we have to prepare." ”
"The preparation has been done early, the tunnels have been unblocked, but there is still some reluctance, such a weapon, but it will be wasted in my hands, I'm afraid I'm sorry for Childe, with this, even if it is a random soldier to command, you can take Guangling, what is the use of Childe wanting me?"
However, it was said that Lu Fan was killed in battle, Hailing was lost, and someone had already reported to Huiji on Pegasus, and Sun Quan couldn't help crying loudly when he learned about it.
Zhou Yu said: "The lord can't be sad at this time, Hailing is lost, Guangling is bound to not be able to insist, Guangling County is lost, it must be exchanged with Huiji County, if you get Huiji, it is also cost-effective to lose Guangling." ”
Sun Quan said: "But it's not easy to do, now Yang Xi is so good, it is rumored that Guan Yu has 20,000 soldiers and horses, and Yang Xi's 9,000 soldiers have to be broken in three days, and Guan Yu has been captured alive. ”
Zhou Yu said: "On the fighting generals, I am no one can match it, Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang and Wen Chou, martial arts do not say that the world is invincible, but after Lu Bu, no one can compete with it, Yang Xi fought Guan Yu more than 300 times without distinguishing between victory and defeat, he is powerful, but marching and fighting, it does not rely on personal bravery." Now Zijing has already led 25,000 troops, and where he passed, he did not attack the city, and reported that he had passed Minyue, and in two or three days, he would be wounded, and then he would be able to defeat Yang Xi. ”
"What about Huang Zhong's side, it is said that he led 10,000 soldiers and did not attack Danyang County at all, but went to take Shicheng, which is only one or two hundred miles away from Danyang."
"Zhu Zhi has 5,000 soldiers, and there is more than enough to defend Danyang, as long as Danyang is not lost, when I win and kill, Huang Zhong will retreat." Zhou Yu played abacus well and had a very gambling spirit, but the premise was that he had to break Yang Xi.
On the first day of October, a few days before Chenhe's Thanksgiving Day, the news spread to Huiji, Guangling City was broken, Yuan Shu was captured, and Yang Hong, the chief secretary, and Yan Xiang, the chief bookkeeper, surrendered.
Zhou Yu didn't want Yuan Shu to be so bad, but the messenger said that it was not Yuan Shu's fault, it was the thunder that fell from the sky, and the city wall was crushed, and the dead were two or three hundred, and the rest tied up Yuan Shu and surrendered.
An additional piece of news, Tai Shi Ci got Guangling, leaving only 3,000 people from Zulang to guard the city, and 6,000 from the headquarters, he has already gone south to the Yangtze River, and went to Huiji by boat to aid Yang Xi.
An hour later, there was news that the old guard Huazi, the leader of the 6,000 department, poured out of the nest, killed from the old place, and took Wucheng to the southeast, and Wucheng surrendered without a fight.
Wucheng is very close to his hometown, only 200 miles, but the mountains in the middle are isolated, so there should be no such thing, but Hanako spent more than ten days coming out of the mountains and forests to Wucheng.
