Chapter 393: Soldiers are on the rise
When Zhu Ran led the army to land in Bohai County, Jizhou, the 150,000 army lost 30,000 troops on the way due to the waves, and the remaining 120,000 troops were delayed for some time due to the wind and waves encountered at sea, and the grain and grass were about to run out. Zhu Ran divided the men and horses into five routes, all the way Lu Xun was the general, Zhuge Jin was the military division, and led the army of 30,000 to Nanpi, an important town in Bohai County, which was originally Yuan Shao's birthplace, and now it is also an important town in Jizhou. Jiang Wei of the second road was the general, and Fei Wei was the military division, leading 10,000 elite blood soldiers to the south to raid Qinghe County; The three-way army, with Wang Ping as the general and Jiang Wan as the military division, led the Wudang Fei army of 20,000 to the north to attack Hejian County; The fourth route took Zhang Wei as the general and Fa Zheng as the military division, leading an army of 30,000 to attack Anping County; Zhu Ran served as the commander of the Fifth Route Army, responsible for collecting grain and grass, coordinating equipment, and supplying the remaining Fourth Route Army at any time.
The sea raid directly hit the Wei State by surprise, within ten days, the four-way army even under twenty cities, Bohai, Anping, Qinghe, Hejian four counties were completely controlled by the Chu State, Wei State in the face of the sudden attack of the Chu State, completely confused, I don't know where this group of soldiers came from, Lu Xun and Jiang Wei randomly joined forces, the two armies combined to attack Julu on the fifth day, leaving Zhu Ran to control the rear, and the other two armies also turned to directly point to the Wei capital of Wei County, Yecheng.
Tiger Prison Pass increased by 50,000 troops, Xu Du deployed 50,000 soldiers, the northern border pass deployed 100,000 soldiers, Xuzhou deployed 200,000 soldiers, plus more than 300,000 troops in various places, Jizhou a state of soldiers and horses less than 50,000, and was caught off guard by the Chu army, 50,000 soldiers and horses lost most of them, Cao Pi was extremely shocked, and hurriedly ordered Cao Xiu to organize an army to defend Yecheng, because he did not know how many Chu troops, Cao Pi hurriedly transferred the victorious Guo Huai back to Yecheng defense, and drew Qingzhou Governor Zang Ba to lead an army of 100,000 to Yecheng defense.
Cao Pi knew that at this critical moment, he must not give up Yecheng, because once Yecheng gave up, Youzhou and Jizhou in the north would be completely lost, and Cao Pi would no longer be able to fight with Ma Hong, so he had to defend Yecheng to the death, and he had to defend Yecheng before Guo Huai and Zang Ba came, with the only remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses.
The Chu army quickly controlled the counties of Jizhou with the wind and clouds, and the soldiers reached Yecheng, the capital of Wei, and attacked Yecheng continuously for three days, Cao Xiu defended the city to the death, because Yecheng was operated by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao for many years, the city was strong, and the Chu army could not break through for a while. After Zhu Ran's raid was successful, the fox of Hangu Pass immediately launched a fierce attack on Tiger Prison Pass, sticking to Xiahou Yuan and preventing Xiahou Yuan from reinforcing Yecheng; Zhuge Liang led the army to storm Guangling, and Cao Zhen led 30,000 cavalry back to the division to rescue Yecheng, and asked Sima Yi to drag Zhuge Liang as the commander.
After preparing for a long time, Wancheng Zhang He led an army of 80,000 troops to attack Xiapi County in Xuzhou from Runan County, and joined forces with Zhuge Liang to attack Sima Yi. Chang'an ordered Ma Liang to lead an army to reinforce Hu Du and attack Xiahou Yuan.
For a time, the troops were in all directions, the battle between Wei and Chu was in full swing, both countries were rushing for time, what Wei had to do was to hold Xuzhou and Hangu Pass, and reinforce the Chu army besieging Jizhou with reinforcements from all over the country, and make dumplings for the Chu army in Jizhou. And what Chu did was that before Zhu Ran was trapped, Zhu Ran's army broke through Yecheng, or Hu Du and Zhuge Liang broke through the city.
The wolf smoke was everywhere, Wei Yan led the army from Hanzhong to Wancheng under Ma Hong's secret order, and the 100,000 Yizhou army supervised Xudu, if Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang of Xudu rebelled, they would immediately attack Xudu.
The capital of Wei, outside the city of Ye.
Jiang Wei and Lu Xun fought side by side, Jiang Wei frowned.
"It seems that this Yecheng is stronger than we thought." Jiang Wei said.
Lu Xun nodded and said: "It seems that we can only do this step, if we reluctantly attack the city, once we can't break it, we will be besieged at that time, and it will be even worse." ”
"The Wei army is holding on to the death, it is better to encircle the point and send reinforcements, first ambush in the four directions of Yecheng, and attack the troops who come to Yecheng for reinforcements." Jiang Wei said.
"The general ordered us to adapt to the situation, I am afraid that it will be more difficult to break through Yecheng at this moment, it is better to ambush Zang Ba in Qingzhou first." Fei Wei said.
Lu Xun nodded and said: "Qingzhou Zang Ba returned to defend with 100,000 soldiers, if he can be dealt with first, he will not fall into the besieged territory at that time." ”
"Then I will lead the army to stop Zang Ba!" Jiang Wei settled down and spoke.
"Although your bloodline soldiers are elite, but Zang Ba has 100,000 people, and 10,000 are used to block 100,000, I'm afraid it's ......"
Lu Xun said.
"If you also withdraw, then Cao Pi will definitely notice that it will definitely not be possible to block the attack at that time, and attack 100,000 with 10,000, if it is unexpected, coupled with the high quality of the bloodline soldiers, and the Zang Ba of Qingzhou running thousands of miles away, he will definitely be tired, and it will not be a problem to block ten."
Lu Xun pondered for a while, and said to Jiang Wei: "Boyo, I wish you good luck in martial arts." ”
Jiang Wei smiled slightly and said: "As a blocking point, Lingxian is a good place, send someone to inform Wang Ping, if I defeat Zai Zangba in a battle, let him take the Wudang Flying Army to Lingxian, join the army in Qingzhou with me, and occupy Qingzhou." ”
"Good!"
On the other hand, Zang Ba led the army to Yecheng in a hurry, because of its eagerness to rescue Cao Pi, first with 5,000 cavalry to reinforce Cao Pi, the large army rushed behind, unexpectedly encountered Jiang Wei in Lingxian County, because he did not know how many Jiang Wei's troops, and was caught off guard by Jiang Wei, the tired Zang Ba vanguard cavalry was defeated in a battle. Jiang Wei arranged three soldiers and horses to clean up Zang Ba's rout, personally stabbed Zang Ba, led the troops to rush forward, the Qingzhou army that lost the commander was like a strong man who lost his brain, and was continuously defeated by Jiang Wei all the way, Wang Ping got the news, and led 20,000 Wudang Fei troops to follow up Jiang Wei, and the two armies cleaned up the Qingzhou soldiers all the way, captured Qingzhou, and controlled most of Qingzhou. Jizhou and Qingzhou lost most of their land one after another, and the 100,000 people in Qingzhou were defeated by a single blow, and Cao Pi was shocked.
Xiangyang, the palace of the king of Chu. 、
Ma Hong got the news and laughed: "It's not my righteous son, the disciple of the Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chicks, in this battle, our army's chances of victory will be increased by another tenth." ”
With the defeat of Qingzhou, Xuzhou lost the rear, Sima Yi was besieged by three ways, Wang Ping defended Qingzhou, Jiang Wei then led troops to attack Sima Yi's rear, plus Zhang He, Sima Yi was already miserable to deal with Zhuge Liang, and plus Zhang He, the general of Chu State, and Jiang Wei, who was brave and good at fighting, was beaten in three ways, and Sima Yi could only support it. The defenders who returned to Yecheng gradually felt that because of the Yecheng defense army, the defenses in various places were empty, and Jiang Wei was able to successfully take Qingzhou. Cao Zhen and Guo Huai attacked Lu Xun after returning to the defense, and Lu Xun and Zhang Wei both had been on the battlefield for a long time and dragged Cao Zhen and Guo Huai to the death in Julu County. Jiang Wei led the army to advance all the way, took the ten cities of Xuzhou, and the troops approached Picheng. (To be continued.) )
