Chapter Eighty-Nine: Prelude to the Bloody Battle of Wu County

In the first year of the first peace, August 12, early in the morning.

In the hazy morning mist, a powerful naval army, under the command of a building boat, entered from the mouth of the Yangtze River, and then followed the waterway of Dantu Qu'a, down the river, and entered Taihu Lake.

After entering Taihu Lake, this naval army no longer concealed its identity, on the big war ships, one flag after another, the building ship in the middle had a huge red background and blue flag, on which a king character was erected.

"Wu County, a certain Wang Lang is here!"

Wang Lang was dressed in a blue robe, dressed for hunting, standing on the three-story ship of the 'Huiji', on the deck, his eyes staring at the water scenery of Taihu Lake, looking at Wu County's reassurance, but there was a touch of excitement in his heart.

The Huiji Navy is a powerful fleet composed of a three-story building ship, six fighting ships, 25 ships, and more than 50 other large and small ships.

At present, in the entire Jiangdong, the Huiji Navy is the most powerful sailor, and there are 10,000 elite sailors above the fleet.

"Lord Duwei, at the current speed, as long as it is noon, we will be able to reach Wu County."

A general, burly and in armor, walked up and reported respectfully.

"Good!"

Wang Lang nodded, pretended to be over-headed, looked at the big man, his eyes crossed a touch of coldness, and said: "Xu Fang, you are the general of the naval army that Lord Taishou attaches great importance to, but in this battle, we must abandon the ship and attack the city, and we must take Wu County in the shortest possible time, are you confident?" ”

The navy is even more difficult to train than the average foot soldier, and using the navy as a foot pawn to attack the city is overkill, but Wang Lang knows that after all, Wu County is Sun Jian's hinterland, even if it is empty, it is not so easy to take it, and it may be difficult to succeed with the 10,000 Huiji soldiers who landed from Lou County, so the navy must participate in the siege.

Now that Huiji is in danger, Guo Yi can't resist Sun Jian for long, only quickly can he take Wu County to force Sun Jian to withdraw from Huiji, and only by taking down the Sun family can he negotiate with the Jiangdong Tiger.

"Lord Duwei, please rest assured, the generals under the command of a certain family can not only fight in the water, but the ships that come out are also the most elite foot soldiers, and within five days, they will definitely be able to take Wu County."

Xu Fang's expression was cold, and he said confidently, he was also one of the four fierce generals under Guo Yi, a powerful general in the Qi cultivation realm.

"According to the plan, Guo Hong, who landed from Lou County, should also arrive with his troops and come to Wu County."

Wang Lang's eyes were resolute, and he said loudly: "Pass the order, immediately accelerate the advance, must be before noon, the army is infinite, within five days, take Wu County." ”

"No!" The generals nodded.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Wu County, the county guard's mansion, and all the high-level officials who stayed in Wu County were concentrated, and their expressions were extremely dignified.

The county magistrate Shi Zhangzhao and the county Cheng Gao Dai sat on it, Wu County ordered Zhu Zhi to sit on the left side, and the two county lieutenants of Wu County, one was Sun Ben, and the other was named Zu Fa, a clansman from Zu Mao, a burly man in his thirties.

There are three people sitting on the right, and they are the generals of the 5,000 soldiers and horses left in Wu County, all of whom are ordinary captains, one is called Zeng Tian, the other is called Han Yong, and there is a bearded man named Sun Lu, all of whom are Sun Jian's confidants and favorite generals.

The military system of the Eastern Han Dynasty, five people for a team, set up a military chief, ten people for a tithe, set up a chief, and then there is a tun, set up a tun chief, a tun about 50 people to 100 people, and then go up is the song, a song at least 200 people, at most 500 people, set up a military marquis.

The top of the song is the department, forming a one, setting up a military Sima, or a captain, a section has at least five songs of soldiers and horses, and at most about ten songs of soldiers and horses, which depends on the ability of the leader Sima or the captain.

For example, Sun Ce's Overlord Iron Cavalry is one, Sun Ce is a cavalry captain, commanding the eleventh song cavalry, more than 3,000 people.

Of the three captains, Zeng Tian had the highest status, commanding 2,000 soldiers and horses, and Han Yong and Sun Lu each commanded 1,500 soldiers and horses.

Sun Quan's body sat calmly on top of Zhang Zhao, and Sun Jian usually sat in the position.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the news has been fully confirmed, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and soldiers in Huiji County, plus the navy, there are about 20,000 soldiers and horses, and their powerful warships are going around the East China Sea to sneak attack our Wu County!"

Sun Quan's back was straight, his childish expression was a little coercive, his amber eyes stared at everyone, and said: "I know that there is a bit of a disparity in the strength of this enemy, but Wu County cannot be lost, and must be defended." ”

"20,000 soldiers?" One of them gasped, a little frightened.

"Wai Wei to save Zhao, Guo Yi's move is ruthless, what a big stroke!"

Zhang Zhao's eyes were lowered and he sighed slightly.

"Gongzi Quan, my subordinates are willing to defend Wu County, but we now have less than 7,000 soldiers and horses in the entire Wu County, and if you want to defend Wu County, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult!"

Zeng Tian was silent for a while, his expression was calm and calm, and his eyes flashed with a hint of essence: "So my subordinates are brave, please ask the second prince and a few generals' wives to leave Wu County immediately and go south to join the lord." ”

"Captain Zeng, don't you have confidence?" Sun Quan knew that Zeng Tian was well-intentioned, but now he had to break the cauldron in order to hold Wu County, so he couldn't let people spoil the atmosphere before the war.

"No, it's just ......" Zeng Tian's face moved, and he immediately analyzed.

"Captain Zeng, I understand what you mean, but you don't need to say it, the Sun family has never had anyone who escaped, Wu County must not be lost, I, Sun Quan, as the second son of the Sun family, announced that from this moment on, Wu County will enter a state of military control, curfew, no one can enter or leave, and all the troops must obey my orders."

Sun Quan stretched out his hand and took out a token from his waist, with a huge golden tiger head on it.

This was originally the tiger talisman he stole from Sun Jian when he escaped from Bishui Pass, but after returning to Jiangdong, he forgot about it and returned it to Sun Jian, and kept it on his body, and this time it came in handy.

This token represents Sun Jian himself, who can lead to the Jiangdong camp unimpeded, and can also command all the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong.

"No!"

Everyone was shocked, staring at the tiger talisman in Sun Quan's hand, especially the three captains, who recognized a token, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said respectfully.

"Zhang Changshi, I will fight this battle, but the soldiers will besiege the city, and there is some chaos in the city, so it is up to Zhang Changshi to pacify." Sun Quan stood up, his figure looked a little resolute, and said.

"Gongzi Quan, do you have confidence?"

Zhang Zhao sighed, he is very good at government affairs, and he also knows a little about military affairs, but he has no experience in commanding troops, and after this key, he can't suppress the generals below.

"If you have the confidence, you have to fight, and if you don't have the confidence, you have to fight."

Sun Quan looked into the distance, a cold killing intent condensed in his eyes, and said: "I only know that at this time, Wu County must not be lost, if they think that Wu County can be captured so easily, it is a little too naΓ―ve." ”

If Sun Jian's regime represents a country, Wu County is now the capital, and if even the capital is lost, then Sun Jian's hearts in Jiangdong will also be lost, so Sun Quan desperately wants to keep Wu County.

"I see!" Zhang Zhao's expression rose resolutely, and said, "I don't know much about military affairs, but Zhao guarantees that as long as Wu County is not breached for a day, the city will be peaceful, and if there are people who fish in troubled waters, a certain knife is not blunt." ”

"Sota !" Sun Quan nodded, and then began to order.

"Here!"

"You lead your subordinates to defend the east gate, the soldiers and horses from Lou County will inevitably focus on the east gate and attack, your responsibility is very heavy, no matter what, you must guard the east gate."

"No!" Zeng Tian's face was resolute and nodded resolutely.

"Han Yong, the north gate belongs to you, the north gate, like the east gate, is close to the direction of Lou County, and it will inevitably be attacked by a key attack."

"No!"

"Sun Ben!"

"In!"

"You lead three hundred county soldiers to recruit young and strong people in the city, no need to force them, under the heavy money, there will be brave men, don't be afraid of spending money, how much, how much to recruit, as a reserve team, immediately start basic training, and wait until the fierce siege battle starts, where there is a gap, where it will be filled." Sun Quan looked at Sun Ben and said loudly.

"Ben understood!" Sun Ben's eyes moved and he nodded.

"The rest of the people, follow me to guard the west gate!" Sun Quan stared in the direction of Taihu Lake, and he knew that this was the target of the attack.

As soon as the meeting dispersed, Wu County began to enter a tense state of preparation, the four gates were closed, and the city was also in a tense atmosphere, making people feel that a storm was coming.

Of course, Sun Quan will not forget that he still has a super fierce general in his hands at this time.

"General Pan, Quan needs your help!" Sun Quan came to the post station and got straight to the point.

"A certain family has felt since yesterday that the atmosphere in Wu County is a little tense, is there an enemy attacking?" Pan Feng did not refuse at all, but with a trace of fighting intent.

"Indeed, there will be 20,000 Huiji county soldiers soon, from the rest of Taihu Lake and Lou County, will attack Wu County, and now our Wu County is only 7,000 soldiers and horses, of which 2,000 are still ordinary county soldiers."

Sun Quan calmly analyzed.

"Childe bluntly said that a certain family needs to do something!" Pan Feng has been cultivating for half a month, and some precious medicinal materials are used to recuperate every day, and the injuries on his body have been healed, and a bad aura on his burly body makes people palpitate.

"I now have five hundred cavalry in my hands, all for you, plus five hundred elite foot soldiers, you lie in ambush in a valley outside the city, and when the siege battle begins, you find the right opportunity to attack the enemy's ass fiercely."

In addition to the elite cavalry of the Jiangdong Army, which is a one-man and two-rider elite cavalry, there are also five thousand single-horse and single-rider ordinary cavalry, which are distributed to various departments, after all, Jiangdong has a shortage of horses, and it is not as luxurious as being equipped with one person and two horses.

Of the 5,000 soldiers and horses left behind, 500 were cavalry.

"Do they have cavalry?"

"Probably not." Sun Quan was stunned and shook his head.

Pan Feng was silent for a moment, and then said: "Since it is a sneak attack, it will come and go like the wind, and there is no need for foot soldiers, and your current strength is not enough, give me five hundred cavalry, I can make them sleep and eat." ”

"That's good!" Sun Quan thought for a moment and nodded.
