Chapter 818: The Way Home

Wuyin, this is a city in Nanyang County, which is not very small, located in Nanyang and Yuzhou.

This small city is now in the midst of a fierce offensive and defensive battle, with the Wei general Zhang Xiu attacking and the defenders Shi Tao, the chief of staff of the Wu Flying Tiger Army.

Usually, the gains and losses of this small city, whether it is Zhang Xiu and Shi Tao, are insignificant to them.

But now, they all know in their hearts the importance of this city.

If the Wu army holds here, it can meet LΓΌ Bu who is heading south, and if the Wei army takes here, it will cut off LΓΌ Bu and Tai Shici's way home.

So, this time both sides are desperate.

Under the city, on the left and right sides of the moat, the soldiers of the Wei army and the Wu army come and go, the battle is in full swing, the soldiers on both sides are full of strength, one side must advance if he dies, and the other side must defend if he dies.

"It seems that Zhang Xiu has used all the strength to eat milk this time!"

Above the city, Shi Tao, chief of staff of the Flying Tiger Army, was wearing fine iron armor, and there was a trace of fortitude and coldness in his elegant temperament. ”

"Chief of Staff, the defense line of the moat has been broken, this Northland Spear King is really crazy, he personally went into battle, regardless of casualties, and made it clear that he would fight us to the death!"

Fan Dao, the general of Xinye, walked up from the city, stood beside Shi Tao, and said in a deep voice: "We guarded the 283rd Regiment and the 284th Regiment of the moat, and the casualties were very large, and now we have withdrawn from the city to rest, but their casualties are greater, but regardless of the attack, we should be able to defeat the city in the afternoon, at this rate, we may not be able to hold it for a few days!" ”

"Can Zhang Xiu not go crazy?"

Shi Tao smiled coldly. Said: "He guards Nanyang, Nanyang is the barrier of Xudu, but now Xudu has been broken by our General Lu and General Tai Shici, if he doesn't take back Wuyin and block the pass of General Lu going south, can Cao Cao spare them?" As for how many days can we hold out? I can keep it for a few days. It's a few days! ”

"Will General Lu be able to break through?"

When Fan Dao heard the feat of Lu Bu and Tai Shici, his expression was a little proud, but he was also a little worried: "If they can't break through, it won't make any sense for us to defend Wuyin, or we will send troops north to meet it!" ”

"No, they will definitely break through, we have to believe them!"

Shi Tao's eyes flashed with a touch of determination, although this battle was very dangerous, he believed in Lu Bu and Tai Shici.

Moreover. If they can't break through, there is no point in leading their troops north, after all, Yuzhou is the hinterland of the Wei army, and when it comes to increasing troops, Wu can't catch up on horseback.

"Fang Mu is now cutting off Cao Ren on the Western Front, as long as Cao Ren doesn't return, within three days, he Zhang Xiu will definitely not be able to break through my Wuyin City!"

Shi Tao said firmly.

"What if he turns to Shinno?" Fan Dao thought about it. said: "After all, Zhang Xiu is the same senior brother of the hussar general, even if he is not as capable as General Zhao. It's not inferior, he's not so easy to deal with. ”

After Zhao Yun became famous all over the world, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ren, and the two senior brothers of the same sect also became famous. They themselves are capable, and secondly, Zhao Yun's reputation has become a chain reaction, and their fellow senior brothers are somewhat impressive.

"Then let him fight!"

Shi Tao said coldly: "I want to see it." Can he hit Xiangyang! ”

Now for Shi Tao, receiving Lu Bu and Tai Shici is much more important than Xinye, the gateway city to the north of Jingzhou.

Outside the city.

The camp of the Wei army.

In the big camp, the generals have just experienced a bloody battle, one by one murderous and awe-inspiring, blood-stained armor, standing at the forefront is Zhang Xiu, his whole person exudes a hazy and cold atmosphere.

Since he received Lu Bu and Tai Shici to attack Xu Du, he has not slept a peaceful night.

He guarded Nanyang, but now he was swaggered by Lu Bu to take Xudu, this is not a small dereliction of duty, if someone digs deep, the crime of collaborating with the enemy can be established.

Everyone knows that there is a big Nanyang between Jingzhou and Xudu, and now Nanyang County is safe and sound, but Xudu City, which is located behind Nanyang, has been breached, he is not a collaborator, what is it?

"General, the moat has been swept clean!" A lieutenant stood up and said, "After noon, we can attack the city gates!" ”

"One day!"

Zhang Xiu raised his head slightly, his eyes swept over the soldiers, and said coldly: "You only have one day, in one day, you must take the city gate, this city is related to the honor and disgrace of the Nanyang Army, we have been derelict in our duties, we don't want to accept the guilt, we must use blood to wash away the sins on us!" ”

"Yes!"

The generals glanced at each other, one by one, excited, bowed their heads, and respectfully received the order.

"General, news has just come that General Cao Ren's main force was entangled by Chen Wu's troops and could not withdraw from Shangyong, and the 10,000 he sent had just returned to Nanyang, and they were also blocked by the Wu army on the west side and could not come east, so he couldn't reinforce us!"

A herald came to report.

"Unexpectedly, I didn't count on them either!"

When Zhang Xiu heard this, there was no accident, he just shook his head, his eyes moved slightly, and said: "Tell Zhang Lin's department of Nieyang, let his 10,000 soldiers go south immediately, attack Xinye with all his might, fight harder, make some noise, if necessary, break Xinye, go south to Xiangyang, I want to see if he Shi Tao can hold his breath!" ”

"No!"

The herald nodded, led the order, and walked out of the tent.

――――――――――――――――――――――

Jiujiang, Xiaoyaojin Daying.

This was once the main front line of the confrontation between Wu and Wei, and now Wu and Wei are between Jizhou and Youzhou, as well as Nanyang and Jingzhou.

Here, both sides have appropriately weakened their forces.

Now the Xiaoyaojin camp has been fully taken over by the western army under the command of Jiangdong Daying, the western army was originally to defend Jinling City, after Sun Quan took the throne, the military system was reformed, and the western army and the southern army not only changed generals, but also were sent out of Jinling City.

The new general of the Western Army is Han Gang, one of the two generals of Sun Quan's side in the past.

On the water with rainbow waves, in the middle of a water village.

Han Gang sat in the first place, holding the order sent from the flying pigeon in Jinling City, looked at it, and after muttering for a while, he immediately began to beat drums and gather generals to discuss the dispatch of troops.

After half a ring, the generals of the three divisions of the Western Army gathered.

"Pass my order, the 1st Division of the West, the 3rd Division of the West, after an hour, storm Shouchun City!" Han Gang ordered.

"General, why is that?"

The commander of the 1st West Division was a little puzzled, stood up, and asked.

"This is the secret military order of the Military Aircraft Department, don't ask the reason, just carry out the military order, remember, when fighting, you must be ruthless, I don't care what you do, you must put on a posture of dying together, at least let the defenders in the city think that you are really attacking desperately!"

"Understood!" The two division commanders of the 1st and 3rd West Divisions hurriedly nodded.

"Second Division of the West!"

"In!"

"The second division is all cavalry, an hour later, go west, the speed of the cavalry is very fast, the mobility is very strong, you follow the official road of Jiujiang in the west to Runan, fight over!"

Han Gang looked at the middle-aged general who was not tall and said.

"Yes!"

The commander of the 2nd West Division's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded: "Where did you hit?" ”

"You can hit as far as you can, and the momentum must be big!"

"Understood!"

"Remember, this battle was fought for three days, and during these three days, the battle was fought very much, regardless of casualties, the greater the momentum, the better, it is better to let the enemy think that we are attacking with the whole army, and after three days, regardless of the results, immediately withdraw the troops, if there is any intention of staying, if there is any disobedience to the military order, there will be no forgiveness!"

"Yes!"

When the generals heard this, their expressions became solemn. (To be continued......)
