Chapter 353: Hunting in Lu XVIII
The undercurrent tide in Xiapi City is stirring, and Donghai County is also fighting fiercely.
Compared with the calm of Xiapi, Pengcheng held onto it, and the East China Sea became the most fierce battlefield of this battle.
The thirteen cities of the East China Sea are all in flames, connected into a large battlefield, Sun Quan was the first to occupy the East China Sea, and Cao Cao's soldiers and horses went north and south, attacking the East China Sea, the continuous increase of troops on both sides, and the decisive battle of hundreds of thousands of troops here.
Originally, the two countries captured the Lu State, but now it has become a decisive battle between the Wu State and the Wei State, and the death battle between Cao Cao and Sun Quan.
Wuyuan Castle.
This is the eighth day of the siege of the Wei army, Cao Cao can no longer hold it anymore, and began to attack the city, in the morning, when the sun appears, it is also the time when this offensive and defensive battle breaks out completely.
"Kill! The son of Wei, kill Wu Dog! ”
"The king has an order, kill Sun Zhongmou, the thief leader of the Wu State, and the official will be promoted to the third level, and there will be ten thousand taels of gold!"
"Kill! Rush in! ”
Under the gate of the southern city, the dense Wei soldiers were surging like a tide, constantly attacking the somewhat thin walls of Wuyuan City, and tens of thousands of people were impacting, as if they were going to cover Wuyuan City.
Siege vehicles, trebuchets, ladders, and wells were all brazenly pushed out, facing the walls of Wuyuan, guarding the generals, leaving no strength, and bombarding them fiercely.
The Wei army has been haunting the siege of Wuyuan for so many days, and naturally has prepared a lot of siege equipment, waiting for several days, and the calm in the city makes Cao Cao lose his vigilance.
Cao Cao decided that Sun Quan, who was now in the city, had reached a desperate situation of lack of food and water, and he couldn't even eat, so he was very relieved to wave his troops and start attacking the city.
He didn't believe that his soldiers couldn't take a group of soldiers who couldn't get enough to eat.
But it backfired, and the soldiers of Wu were more energetic than he imagined. It was much more tenacious, so the battle became a stalemate.
One can't attack, and the other can't break through.
"Fight it!"
"Whoever comes up, give me death!"
"Move rocks and smash them hard for me. Smash this group of Wei pigs to death! ”
Above the city, one by one the soldiers of the Wu State have also become red-eyed, they are not afraid of death, and their killing intent is soaring, and they directly kill the Wei soldiers who have killed one of them.
"Sons, as long as you can keep it for a day. As long as it takes one day, the victory belongs to our Wu country, and my Sun Zhongmou will live and die with you, kill! ”
Sun Quan was a soldier and stood above the city. The Vermilion Bird cloak behind him hunted and moved, holding the white tiger war spear in his hand, and he kept shouting loudly, inspiring the morale of the soldiers of Wu Guo.
Now in the city, there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses of Wu State, 3,000 soldiers and horses are deployed in the north city, and the only remaining 7,000 soldiers Sun Quan are not left. It took all the pressure to fill the defensive line.
He believed that as long as he persisted for one day, Pang Tong would be able to complete the plan.
But now in the face of the main force of the Wei army, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, such a surging attack. These Wu Guo soldiers, who couldn't even eat enough, naturally couldn't support it.
"Kill!"
Sun Quan's loud voice was still stirring up the morale of the soldiers, making them burst out with fierce combat effectiveness.
Since last night, the soldiers who have not eaten the grain of rice, after a round of fighting, are obviously insufficient, and finally can only grit their teeth. Supported.
If it weren't for Sun Quan's figure standing here all the time, giving them atmosphere. Let them hold on to their confidence, I'm afraid their formation has collapsed.
will be the heart of the soldiers.
This has been the same on the battlefield since ancient times. So as long as Sun Quan's figure is still standing, this army will not collapse even if it dies in battle.
"Lonely must go into the city today."
Under the city, one by one Wei soldiers rushed up one after another, attacking the city, among the Chinese army, Cao Cao's figure rode on a tall horse, his heart was furious, his eyes looked at Sun Quan on the city head coldly, pulled out his long sword, pointed directly at the city head, and said loudly: "Pass the order, at any cost, blast open the city gate for me, and I want to personally cut off Sun Zhongmou's head!" ”
"Kill!"
The king was angry, and the soldiers were naturally angry, and the soldiers of Wei began to rush forward one after another.
……
The battle was fierce, the city was full of corpses, and the blood flowed like a river, and this thin city wall had become a huge meat grinder.
After a morning of offensive and defensive battles, when the sun rose to its highest in the sky, Fang temporarily rested.
Wei Jun Mingjin withdraws his troops!
This battle finally ended with the tenacious and resolute fighting of the soldiers defending the city, and the thousands of corpses lost by the Wei army retreated in panic.
"One day, as long as you survive today, Cao Cao, I will return this qiē to you!" Sun Quan wiped away the blood stains of the White Tiger War Spear, and looked at the Wei soldiers and horses retreating at the head of the city, with a touch of coldness.
"Ziyu, send the last grain down, let the sons and daughters replenish their bodies, in the afternoon, it will be the real decisive battle!"
Sun Quan said loudly.
"No!"
Zhuge Jin nodded, the last bit of food is the last bit of morale.
The battle is not over, and the afternoon is the hardest.
……
"Waste, you're all a bunch of garbage!"
At noon, in the big tent of the Chinese army of the Wei army, Cao Cao's face was extremely gloomy, his eyes showed anger, and he pointed to the Wei generals who were silent, and he was furious: "Now there are only 10,000 people in the city, and they are still hungry soldiers who don't even have a body, and even Sun Zhongmou's own only has one breath left, and you tens of thousands of people can't take them down, are you still the generals of my Wei State?" ”
One morning, the 30,000 soldiers and horses mobilized to attack forcefully did not take Wuyuan, which made Cao Cao angry in his heart.
One by one, the generals of the Wei State stood in the middle of the camp, hanging their heads deadly, and when they heard Cao Cao's words, their faces were red and they were a little ashamed.
The tenacity of the soldiers of the Wu State has exceeded their expectations, and the soldiers of the Wu State who obviously seem to have insufficient morale can stubbornly defend the city, kill one, and make up for the other immediately, not afraid of death.
The stubbornness of the enemy has become their timidity.
"King, please give the last general another chance, before it gets dark, the last general promises. Definitely break through Wuyuan! ”
General Li Dian stood up, his robe was stained with blood, murderous, and his eyes burst with decisive light, facing Cao Cao. Slightly arched his hand, and a strong voice made a military order, and said: "If you don't win this battle, your subordinates are willing to raise their heads to see you." ”
"Mancheng, do you have a way to break the enemy?"
Cao Cao's eyes narrowed when he heard this. looked at Li Dian, his eyes were slightly happy.
Li Dian, the word Manchester City, Shanyang Ju Savage, Cao Cao in the past to ask for Dong. He led thousands of diners, followed left and right, followed Cao Cao, fought in the south and north for many years, he was skilled in bowing and horses, and repeatedly made military exploits, after the establishment of the Wei State, he was crowned as the Pingdong General of the Wei State.
"The King. Now it's just a battle, and the reason why we can't fight it. It is because of the tenacious fighting spirit of the soldiers of Wu Guo, they Wu Guoerlang is not afraid of battle, how can I Wei Guoerlang be afraid of war, this battle is only a strong attack, and they will break their morale hard, and the last general is willing to take the lead. “
Li Dian's eyes were resolute. Langsheng said.
"Good!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he was slightly stunned. However, he laughed out loud and looked at Li Dian. Said loudly: "After an hour, continue to attack the city, Manchester City, this battle is the vanguard, if you can take Wuyuan, you will be rewarded alone!" ”
Li Dian's words made Cao Cao excited.
He just thought too much, but it made the soldiers of Wei lose their original sharpness, and now his soldiers and horses in Wuyuan add up to more than 50,000, besieging the city and fighting, and there are 10,000 people in the city, or 10,000 people are extremely short of food, can't they still fight it?
Sun Zhongmou, more ruthless?
Our Wei State will not be far behind!
Cao Cao's heart said coldly.
"The last general will definitely not accept the king's expectations!"
When Li Dian heard this, his eyes were awe-inspiring, and a sharp light burst out, murderous.
"Where's the talent?"
At this time, Cao Cao glanced around, a little strange, he hadn't seen the military advisor around him all day, which made him a little uneasy.
"King!"
A personal soldier walked out and said in a low voice: "In the early hours of this morning, Captain Xi seems to have discovered something, he took a thousand cavalry, left the barracks in a hurry, and went north to Fuyang!" ”
"Fu Yang?"
Cao Cao was slightly stunned, a little puzzled.
……
At this moment, Xi Long was rushing on the official road from Wuyuan to Fuyang with a thousand elite tigers and leopards, and his mood was obviously a little gloomy.
Looking at the sand table today, he realized that he had ignored a straight line, a straight line of blue blue.
Wushui River!
Why did he forget about this Wushui River?
Pang Tong's breakthrough should have thought of it, but now it is the end of September, and his thinking is not thinking in this direction, if ...... Xi Zhicai was a little afraid to think about it.
A thousand tigers and leopards are the most elite cavalry of the Wei State, and they are very fast, and they appear next to the Wushui River in less than an hour.
Wushui River, connecting several tributary rivers in the East China Sea, this is a large river that runs through the East China Sea and Xiapi, in the past, Sun Ce and Sun Quan besieged Cao Cao and lost their strength, and escaped by virtue of the Wushui River.
"Lord Taiwei, the water level of the Wushui River is obviously a lot lower!"
A dozen scouts jumped off their horses and cautiously probed the river, and then reported to the court, "In this case, someone should have built a dam upstream, and the water was stored!" ”
"Damn, quick, all accelerated, the levee must be found!"
Xi Zhicai's pupils contracted suddenly, and he shouted loudly.
He thoroughly understood Pang Tong's plan...... Flood Wuyuan!
"No!"
A thousand cavalry rushed along the Wushui River and rushed upstream, walking for three hours, and finally found the traces of the Wu army's soldiers, but it was already a little too late.
A dam, very spacious, blocked on the four major tributaries of the Wushui River, impounded the river water, a few meters higher, this water level, once the embankment breaks, in the Wuyuan City in the lower reaches of the Wushui River, will inevitably be submerged.
Then the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Wei State ......
"Kill it!" Xi Zhicai stared at it, the color of his pupils changed, his eyes looked at thousands of Wu Jun, he reacted quickly, and shouted: "Can't let them break the embankment!" ”
"Xi Zhicai, you're late!"
At this time, Pang Tong's upright body stood beside the embankment, looking at Xi Zhicai who suddenly appeared with some surprise, the corners of his mouth outlined an arc, and shouted: "Break the embankment!" ”
"Breaking the embankment!"
Thousands of soldiers of the Wu State burst open the embankment in unison, and the blocked flood was like a fierce beast struggling out, surging out, breaking through the riverbank, submerging countless fertile fields, and rushing towards Wuyuan City.
At this moment, Xi Zhicai's face turned pale instantly. (To be continued)
