Chapter 1212: Defeat after Defeat

Lu Xun didn't find the horses, he limped and galloped in the night, if it weren't for Lu Su and Dong Xi, he would have been unable to walk. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He secretly scolded Jiang Gan, and at the same time secretly scolded himself. However, he hated Li Yi even more, and he was a little angry and said loudly: "Why? Why is Li Yi always able to see through everything? Why? ”

Lu Su and Dong Xi shook their heads violently.

At this time, another voice sounded like thunder: "Oh, Lu Xun'er, don't run, Wei Chigong is here!" ”

"Ahh Lu Xun saw the grass swaying on all sides, his liver and gallbladder were split, and the six gods had no owner.

Just when Lu Xun didn't know what to do, two shouts came from afar: "Don't panic, Huang Gai and Ling Tong are here!" ”

It turned out that Huang Gai and Ling Tong had reorganized a thousand catapult soldiers in one step, and they had some strength in their hands.

Lu Xun let Dong attack the leader of the army, and he and Huang Gai, Lu Su, and Ling Tong got on their horses and galloped away.

"Rushing to the ......" Dong attacked and bullied Wei Chigong with few soldiers around him, and the leader rushed up, who knew that Wei Chigong used the male whip of both male and female whips, and hit him on the back with a whip, vomiting blood and falling from his horse, and then was tied up by the special forces of the Tang Army who followed him.

As soon as the soldiers of Eastern Wu saw that the main general had been captured, they rushed to the fart, and dispersed in a panic.

………………

On the shore, thousands of warships of the Tang Army have already docked at the long Niuzhuji ferry. A large number of soldiers gathered in the sound of slogans, ten hundred-man teams into thousand-man teams, and ten thousand-man teams into 10,000-person formations. Dian Wei, Li Cunxiao, Gao Chong, Tai Shici, Chang Yuchun, Li Jing, Gao Shun, Zhang He, Yuwen Chengdu, Lu Wenlong and other generals led generals at all levels to rush to the front.

For a time, the defense line along the Yangtze River of Soochow completely collapsed, and 200,000 Tang troops successfully crossed the Yangtze River moat and set foot on the land of Soochow.

………………

Outside the Jianye City, the Acropolis City.

As the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army of Eastern Wu, LΓΌ Meng was discussing with Zhang Cheng and He Qi about the possible military situation of Niu Zhu.

"Report!" A scout came running with joy.

Lu Meng immediately had a good premonition, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The scout came to the front and reported: "Report to the general, the fire on the north bank of Niuzhu is raging, reflecting half of the sky!" ”

Lu Meng and the three of them were overjoyed, and Zhang Cheng said, "Great! ”

He Qi also said: "It must be the success of His Majesty's fire plan!" ”

Lu Meng said: "Li Yi's army is defeated, Hefei will definitely send soldiers and horses to the rescue." According to the predetermined plan, we immediately crossed the river to Hefei and opened the passage into Xuzhou. ”

Because the 200,000 troops of the Tang Army were assembled in Liyang, this almost drained the standing army strength of the Tang Dynasty in the Jianghuai region, and only some garrison troops remained, and the strength was very empty. If the Tang army is really defeated, it will be difficult for the Central Plains region of the Tang Dynasty to quickly reorganize its garrison forces.

So, Lu Meng and the three of them quickly reorganized the army, and just an hour later, the 50,000 army was arrayed outside Jianye City.

After receiving the news, Zhang Zhao, Lu Fan and other officials came to see them off happily.

Zhang Zhao stroked his beard and laughed: "General Lu Meng, Your Majesty has won a complete victory, God bless me Dawu!" ”

Although Zhang Zhao is the prime minister of Dawu, Dawu only has such a small territory in Jiangdong, which is quite unworthy of the name, so he hopes that Dawu can expand his territory and become a real imperial prime minister.

The same is true for other officials, only when the territory is large can they be promoted and make a fortune.

As a result, the hundred officials of Eastern Wu blew the sky, as if Dawu had swept the Central Plains and seized the world.

"Sweeping the Central Plains is just around the corner!"

The crowd chanted incessantly, and morale was high.

At this moment, a fast horse appeared in the distance.

Lu Meng fixed his eyes and saw that he was a scout who reported the news.

The scout came to the front, dismounted in embarrassment, and exclaimed: "The big thing is not good, the fire broke out in the direction of our army's water village on the south bank of Niuzhu, and now the flames are surging, reflecting the whole sky!" ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this!

It was still Lu Meng who was smart, his face turned white with a sigh, and he exclaimed: "It's not good, it must be a trick in our army, but it was burned by the Tang army!" ”

The 50,000 troops who kept cheering and shouting just now gasped, and in the midst of the clanging, many of the weapons in their hands fell to the ground.

"What!"

Zhang Zhao screamed in surprise and fell off his horse. Many people also fell.

They couldn't accept the contrast between the world and the world, and sat on the ground stunned, their eyes glaring at the scout.

Lu Meng couldn't believe it again, rode over, and asked loudly, "What you said is true?" You must know that lying about the military is a big crime to kill your head! ”

The scout bowed: "It's true, it's true to see it on the mountain, don't dare to talk nonsense!" ”

Not to mention that Lu Meng is still a good brain, when others were frightened, he had already made a decision, and said to his generals: "General He Qi, I will leave 20,000 people for you, and you and the ministers will guard the capital together." The rest of you wait, come with me to the rescue! ”

Under the leadership of LΓΌ Meng and Zhang Cheng, the 30,000 Eastern Wu soldiers who had not yet turned their brains turned their minds instinctively pulled out with LΓΌ Meng, leaving only the stunned Zhang Zhao and the others, unable to close their frightened mouths. Everyone kept asking in their hearts: How...... How did it suddenly become that we were burned? Finish!

………………

LΓΌ Meng and Zhang Cheng were so anxious that they led the army to rush overnight and came to the Sanshan realm at dawn.

The three mountains are located in the southwest of Jianye and are named after the three peaks. The Yangtze River comes from the southwest, and this mountain protrudes from the middle of the river, when it rushes to the top. The three mountains are the southwest river defense important places of Jiankang, the capital of the Six Dynasties, so they are also called "Huguo Mountain".

I only heard a burst of artillery in the dense forest on both sides of the official road, and a large group of men and horses came out from all sides. is the first general, holding a big knife, and the big book "Chen Jun Xie Xuan" is written on the banner behind him.

Xie Xuan laughed and said, "Hahaha...... Ben will guard Hefei for many years, and finally cross the Yangtze River. Lu Meng, come on! ”

Lu Meng's liver was broken, and he exclaimed, "It's Xie Xuan!" Not good, get out of here! ”

According to the original plan, LΓΌ Meng's army was the Tang army that crossed the river to ambush and rescue Niu Zhu. Obviously, the Tang army also made the same deployment, sending troops to ambush and rescue Sun Quan's own.

These Eastern Wu soldiers under Lu Meng's command were not elite. It's still so-so to fight a tailwind battle, but in the face of an ambush by the enemy's elite, it's no different from a rabble. I only heard a shout from the Eastern Wu soldiers, and fled in a hurry.

Xie Xuan and the deputy general Lan Yu chased and killed for more than 30 miles, until they reached the foot of Jianye City, and then they withdrew their troops.

In this battle, Xie Xuan and Lan Yu captured more than 20,000 enemies, and the 30,000 troops brought out by LΓΌ Meng from Jianye were almost completely annihilated.

Xie Xuan ordered Lan Yu to lead 8,000 men and horses to continue to stay near the Three Mountains, if Niu Zhu had troops to retreat to Jianye, it would be just an ambush. Xie Xuan himself, on the other hand, led the rest of the 240 million troops to kill Wu County, intending to cut off the escape path of Eastern Wu from the sea.

………………

On the official road of Dongwu leading to Jianye, there is a team of about 10,000 people, and the soldiers are either dragging flags upside down, or pulling weapons at will, sparsely marching, and soldiers are constantly falling, and they are tired and can no longer get up.

Although Sun Quan has a horse, he is also as tired as a dead dog. He didn't close his eyes all night, looked at a big mountain not far away, couldn't stand it anymore, stopped and asked, "Where is this place?" ”

At this time, a person suddenly came out of the side and said to Sun Quan: "Your Majesty, this place is the southern edge of Baidu Mountain, twenty miles to the east is the three mountains, and the three mountains are sixty miles to the east is Jianye City." ”

Sun Quan stared at him in a daze, and found that the person who spoke was Jiang Gan, his face suddenly became even more embarrassed, and he said angrily: "I didn't ask you!" ”

He asked to the left and right, "Where is this place?" ”

Ding Feng, who was escorted by the army, hurriedly replied: "The south of Baidu Mountain is about to arrive at Jianye. ”

"I can't walk......" Sun Quan said, turned over and dismounted, and the guards on the left and right hurried over to help, and then led him to rest under the big tree on the side.

Sun Jiao, Ding Feng and other generals are also exhausted, let alone ordinary soldiers.

So, Sun Quan ordered the three armies to rest, and for a while, 10,000 soldiers fell directly on the official road.

Subsequently, some soldiers thought of the fiasco in Niuzhu last night, and couldn't help but feel sad and cried.

There was one person crying, which naturally affected the emotions in the hearts of the rest of the soldiers, and for a while it was out of control, and many soldiers began to cry.

Jiang Gan pondered for a while, but still came to Sun Quan's place and bowed: "Your Majesty, you can't stay here for a long time, we'd better retreat into Jianye in one go, otherwise we ......"

"Get out, you get out of here!" Sun Quan scolded, his eyes flashed with crystal, don't look at him as the emperor, he was in trouble at the moment, and he almost cried. Because Sun Quan felt that he was really unlucky, he thought it was a big victory, but he didn't expect it to be so completely defeated.

The more he thought about it, the more unpleasant Sun Quan pulled out the ancient ingot knife and shouted at this Jiang Gan: "I want to kill you, and then kill Li Yi!" ”

Jiang Gan's heart was shocked, and he didn't dare to run away, so he bowed: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, and Weichen also fell for Li Yi's tricks!" ”

Sun Jiao, Ding Feng and other generals came to intercede one after another, saying: "Your Majesty, it's not that Jiang Ziyi is incompetent, it's that Li Yi is too cunning......

"Whoever intercedes for Jiang Gan is guilty of the same crime!" Sun Quan glared angrily, brandished an ancient ingot knife, and roared at the courtiers who were pleading around him, "Same crime, get out of ......"

Before the words fell, I only heard a burst of artillery around me, and a military horse turned out from behind the mountain, and the first general shouted: "I am Lan Yu, the general of the Tang Town Army, and I have been waiting here for a long time!" ”

It turned out that Lan Yu did not stay in the Three Mountains all the time, but sent scouts to the west to investigate, and after learning that these remnants of the army led by Sun Quan were coming, they moved to Baidu Mountain to ambush them, and they were not killed until now.

Sun Quan was taken aback, and the ancient ingot knife fell to the ground with a bang.

Lan Yu, the general of the Tang Army, led 8,000 soldiers and horses and surrounded Sun Quan's 10,000 defeated soldiers.

The Tang army formed a formation, constantly squeezing the defense line of the Eastern Wu soldiers.

The four generals of Eastern Wu, Zhou Tai, Sun Jiao, Ding Feng, and Zhu Huan, took the lead, and only then did they lead the remnants of the army to temporarily block the offensive of the Tang army.

And Sun Quan, the emperor of Eastern Wu who was protected in the inner circle, was already frightened, and he didn't care about killing Jiang Gan, and shouted: "I am surrounded, what should I do, what should I do!" ”
