Chapter 163: Encirclement and Reinforcement (2)
In the following days, the truth was as Zhou Yu expected, Liu Qi's army surrounded Wanling City like an iron bucket, but a whole half a month passed, and there was no large-scale siege battle, which made those Jiangdong troops who had hoped to defend the city to fight the morale of the enemy feel helpless for a while, as if it was a blow full of strength that hit the empty place.
"Governor, since the enemy army does not attack the city, why don't we take the initiative to go out of the city to fight?" A general named Zu Lang under Zhou Yu built a Dao.
Zhou Yu shook his head and sighed: "Now that the morale of the enemy army is high, and they have an absolute advantage in numbers, and Liu Qi is a wise man, it is impossible not to be guarded, the number of us out of the city is less useless, too much, I am afraid that Wanling City will be difficult to protect." This is precisely where the cunning of the enemy lies. ”
"Are we just going to wait? If that's the case, we'll probably end up with no end in sight. Zu Lang thought about it and couldn't help but say out loud.
Zhou Yu did not blame Zu Lang for his rudeness, and said slowly: "We are not waiting, we have to look for opportunities, as long as the number of sergeants besieging the enemy is reduced, it is a good opportunity for us to attack." ”
Although he comforted Zu Lang in this way, Zhou Yu knew that this opportunity was really not easy to find, after all, now that his city was under siege, he had completely cut off contact with the outside world, and he didn't know the reality of the enemy army at all, and he didn't know when his reinforcements would arrive and where they had come, so he could only judge based on experience, but such a judgment had a great risk, in case of a mistake in judgment and encountered the main force of the enemy, I am afraid that even Wanling City could be taken down directly by the other party, so wouldn't it be more dangerous for his side?
"Damn Liu Qi, he actually used such a vicious strategy as eliminating reinforcements and making our army lose hope, but I haven't cracked such a trick yet, if I can get information about our army, it would be fine, but now ......"
Zhou Yu couldn't help but shake his head slowly, with a helpless wry smile on his face, now he can't fight, he can't defend either, in his so many years of career, he has never encountered such a strange scene.
"Next, it's mainly up to my reinforcements, to see if there are a few wizards among them who can crack this trick of the enemy? In fact, it is not difficult to crack this trick, as long as the plan of encircling Wei to save Zhao, the enemy will be saved, as long as we lead the army to attack Yixian, Shexian and other places, the enemy army will definitely lead the army to rescue, and then send people to our city to send a letter, then we should cooperate with the outside, and we will definitely be able to break the enemy's army, but now that our Jiangdong talents are withering, there are not many people who can have this vision. If Huang Gongfu and Kan Derun were not captured, there would still be such a possibility, but Wu Jing of Danyang and Zhu Zhi of Wu County ......" Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head slowly.
And the next fact was just as Zhou Yu expected, all kinds of reinforcements from Danyang to Wu County were ordered by Sun Quan to drive from the garrison to Wanling, but they didn't expect their army to encounter ambushes one after another.
After receiving Sun Quan's letter, he immediately decided to take his son Wu Fen, Sun Quan's brother Sun Yu and Sun Ben to Wanling.
At this time, a young scribe named Buqi persuaded: "Lord Taishou, now that Liu Qi is besieging Wanling with heavy troops, its rear must be empty, it is better for us to lead the army to directly attack Lingyang, the rear of the enemy army is attacked, so we naturally have to return to the division to save each other, so that the siege of Wanling can naturally be solved." ”
But Wu Jing shouted: "What do you know as a junior?" Liu Qi is a man of wisdom, how could he not have imagined that we would sneak attack his rear? Besides, now that Zhou Gongjin is besieged very urgently, if he doesn't rescue him earlier, I'm afraid that Wanling will not be able to save our entire Danyang County. ”
Sun Yu also said dissatisfiedly: "Buzishan, I originally thought you were a wise and resourceful person, but I didn't expect such an idea to come up with today, which is really disappointing." Hehe, Wanling is the gateway to our entire Danyang County, if it is lost, the entire Danyang County will be difficult to preserve, and even our entire Jiangdong Foundation may be in danger, so the lord urged us to send troops to rescue quickly, but you are good, you actually persuaded Lord Taishou to take Lingyang! Lingyang is deep behind enemy lines, even if we get it, will it still be recaptured by the enemy? Besides, if we take Lingyang, Liu Qi doesn't care about us, but continues to attack Wanling, what should we do? Don't say anything more, don't retreat quickly! ”
Although he was very dissatisfied with Bu Qi's strategy, Sun Yu still had some appreciation for Bu Qi's talent after all, and now he said this without the intention of protecting him.
But Bu Qi didn't appreciate it at all, and said loudly: "Lord Taishou, if you don't listen to the persuasion of the lower officials, I'm afraid that this expedition will not only be useless, but will also throw away the entire Danyang, in the future, under Jiuquan, what face do you have to meet Wucheng Hou and Wu Hou?" ”
Wu Jing was immediately furious when he heard this, pointed to Buqi and said: "Okay, you Buzi Mountain, now when my army is on the march, how dare you say such an inauspicious thing and confuse my army's heart?" Come, pull him down for me, and behead him for public display. ”
But seeing Sun Yu hurriedly came over to plead: "Lord Taishou, cutting the general before the battle, it is not good for the army, it is better to put him in prison first, and when our army wins in the future, it is not too late to ask him for guilt." ”
"Hmph, for the sake of Zhong Yi's face, I will spare your life first, and after my army is victorious, I will come to punish you and punish you.
Wu Jing waved his hand impatiently, not seeing the trace of disappointment on Bu Qi's face at all, and ordered someone to take Bu Qi to prison, and then ordered Sun Yu to be the vanguard, order the generals, and go directly to Wanling.
Wu Jing can be said to have poured out of the nest this time, except for leaving two thousand soldiers and horses to guard the Moling, almost all the available troops were used, and a full thirteen thousand Danyang elite soldiers went to Wanling.
However, it is said that Wu Jing's vanguard led an army of 3,000 and went straight to the direction of Wanling along the avenue, and after about two days of rapid marching, he came to Liyang County.
At this moment, Wei Yan, who was buried in a jungle, saw that the enemy army was rushing over, and he couldn't help but lead the army to attack, but was stopped by the military advisor Jia Xu: "General, don't act rashly, what you pass by now is just the advance of the enemy army, let's let them go for the time being, and when the enemy's main force arrives, we will surround and annihilate them." ”
"But the Lord has been in the bus, let us not let go of any force, and if we let them go, wouldn't it be a violation of the lord's orders?" Wei Yan couldn't help but be puzzled, and hurriedly asked.
But he heard Jia Xu laugh and said: "General, rest assured, the lord has already deployed his troops in the front, and he will definitely be able to attack the enemy army at the same time as the general, so that they don't have any chance to escape." ”
"So that's the case, hehe, so Ben will be relieved, hum, and let your thief live for a while longer." Gan Ning whispered to Sun Yu on the avenue, and then continued to lurk, without the order to attack.
Wei Shan, the captain of Wei Yan's personal army, who was not far away, saw that there were enemy troops passing by, and hurriedly touched Wei Yan's side, and said softly: "General, the enemy army has come, why don't you attack?" ”
But I heard Wei Yan say with a smile: "This piece of meat is not fat, we will grab a piece of fat meat and eat it later, and leave this piece to Huo Zhongmiao in front." ”
"I see, hehe, then I'll wait a little longer." Wei Shan smiled, and then continued to lurk, waiting for the big fish behind him to take the bait.
As a pioneer passing through here, Sun Yu did not know anything about the scene just now, he was also cautious, saw a dense forest in front of him, and immediately ordered the army to prepare for defense, but after carefully passing through the dense forest, he did not find that there was an ambush, and he couldn't help but put his mind at ease, although he was more worried about the battle in Wanling, Sun Yu still decided to order someone to inspect the dense forest first, and then lead the army to continue to advance.
Since there was a great strategist Jia Xu here, it was naturally impossible for the other party to find any flaws, so the spies sent by Sun Yu did not find any abnormalities in the dense forest at all, and then led the army to continue to advance with complete confidence.
Sun Yu led the army to walk less than ten miles, came to the mountain pass, he just wanted to order the two sides of the humanity to investigate, suddenly saw the ambush on both sides of the army, relying on the advantage of the location, from the mountain launched a dense feather arrow.
"It's not good, there is an ambush, everyone defends quickly." Sun Yu couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately ordered the whole army to form a circular formation, each raising a shield for defense.
However, in the previous rain of arrows, more than 200 people had been killed, and 300 or 400 people had been wounded by arrows of different ways, and now those who were able to continue the battle were about 2,500 people.
"According to the arrows shot by the opponent, I judge that the enemy army should not exceed 3,000 people, so although we have lost some, our army should still have the strength to fight with the other party, plus I have elite Danyang soldiers in my hands, even if it is impossible to wipe out the enemy army." Sun Yu carefully calculated the comparison of the strengths of the two sides, and secretly decided that this time he must fight a beautiful war of annihilation and anti-ambush warfare, so that the enemy army could see his own ability.
But I didn't expect to see a lot of big stones rolling down from the mountain, some of these stones directly hit the soldiers' heads, directly smashing the soldiers' brains to death, and some rolled down into the mountain passes, filling the road, making the already difficult mountain road even more difficult to walk.
"Damn, this round of stones fell down, and I lost nearly 200 more soldiers, so that our army only has about 2,300 people left, but in this way our army is still sure of victory." Sun Yu secretly calculated the strength of both sides, while reorganizing the troops and horses, so that everyone could continue to maintain the formation and not scatter, and then looked forward to the enemy army rushing down to fight with him.
But unexpectedly, a loud rumbling noise came from the next moment.
Sun Yu looked in the direction of the sound, but found that it was a giant tree, and he couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and ordered the army to dodge quickly.
