Chapter 52: Raid on Dangyang
Raid Dangyang Pan Zhang listened to the order and ordered you to lead 5,000 soldiers to Dangyang County to guard the front line of the Zhijiang River in Dangyang" Zhou Tai still issued the final appointment, after all, if Dangyang lost Jiangling City, he would directly face the offensive of the Han army.
"Governor, there are still 3,000 Han soldiers in Wuling County that we need to watch out for, if they really break through Wuling City, the public security will also be threatened by the Han army," He Qi said
"There has been no news from Wuling County so far, Liu A should be able to deal with this army of the Han army, and he ordered them to avoid confrontation with the Han army before, and it is definitely impossible for the three thousand Han troops to capture the entire Wuling County" Zhou Tai also knew that Wuling County was a land of high mountains and dense forests, which was not suitable for a large army to conquer but was very suitable for defending the city, so he didn't take it seriously.
Wuling County Chongxian County Building; Ju Fu and Qin Jie stood on the city tower and looked into the distance, as if they were expecting something, "Do you say that Zeng Kaiqi can persuade the county lieutenant of Louzhong to come and surrender," Qin Jie asked Ju Fu.
"By providence! If it is best to surrender, if it is not surrendered, we will go to attack the city, and after entering the city, I should take his head" replied without hesitation.
Suddenly, a team of 100 people appeared within the sight of the city tower of Chongxian County, and marched towards Chongxian County, "close the city gate quickly", Qin Jie saw this force, and immediately ordered the city gate to be closed to judge friend and foe.
"Brother Qin, look, that person seems to be Zeng Kaiqi," Jufu pointed to the team of people in front of him.
"It seems to be really him, it seems that he succeeded, and when he walked in, he was observing one or two"
Zeng Kaiqi rode a horse with a general who looked like a Confucian scholar to the city of Chong County; "General Qin, this is Tan Qia, the county lieutenant of Louzhong, and I would like to surrender to our army today, and I ask the general to accept it," Zeng Cheng shouted at the city tower
"Kaiqi, wait a while, I'll go down to the city," After speaking, Qin Jie ordered to open the city gate and walked towards the city himself.
"County Lieutenant Tan has already served as a county lieutenant at such a young age, and he will definitely be able to make some achievements in the future, of course, he can surrender to our army, and it should also be the blessing of our army" Qin Jie hugged his fist at Tan Qia.
"General Qin has been promoted, and I am just following the general trend, anyone can see that this Jingzhou will definitely be owned by Shu Han" Tan Qia is also holding his fists.
"Everyone, let's go into the city and talk again," the sentence said
"It too; Hurry up and follow me into the city, I have prepared wine and food in the city, and we will talk while drinking, "Qin Jie also agreed.
When more than half of the wine; "I don't know what General Qin's next plan is," Tan asked curiously about Qin Jie's next battle.
"It's not a secret, our army is not the main force, our army's task is only to disrupt Wuling County, so that Wuling City can send troops to help, so as to give the main force of our army ambushed around Wuling City a chance, so as to capture Wuling City in one fell swoop" Qin Jie did not hide it at all, and told Zhuge Qiao's plan as it was.
"General Qin, I won't tell you the truth, the military order we received is to defend the city, and before the next military order arrives, all the cities in Wuling County will not send a single soldier to confront the general" Tan Qia also truthfully said the military order he received.
Qin Jie and Ju Fu also glanced at each other after hearing the news, if Wuling City did not send troops to quell the chaos, then Zhuge Qiao would not have the opportunity to raid Wuling City, Ju Fu knew that Zhuge Qiao was a person, and the plan he made would definitely be completed, so he knew that Zhuge Qiao would definitely attack the city.
"General, I propose, we immediately lead the army to Wuling City to rescue Zhuge Guard, the sooner the better, otherwise it will be too late" Ju Fu immediately put forward his idea to Qin Jie.
Qin Jie pondered for a moment, "That's the only way"
"General Qin, can we help you in any way" Zeng Cheng was also frightened by this sudden change.
"If the two of you can lead the soldiers from their respective counties to Wuling City with me, I will be grateful," Qin Jie said to the two of them.
"The last general will follow the general to Wuling to help break the city, so as to show our determination," Zeng Cheng replied without hesitation.
"The two true righteous men also, quickly organize the soldiers and horses, and set off towards Wuling" Qin Jie immediately issued the final military order to set off, and Jufu also breathed a sigh of relief.
Inside an inn somewhere in Wuling City; A man dressed in turquoise clothes, with his hair tied up with bamboo hairpins, and his face like a peach and apricot, his posture was leisurely and elegant, and his pupils stared intently at the pedestrians and vendors on the street below. "Childe, we have more than 600 people sneaking in, but this Wuling Taishou Liu A has no intention of sending troops to suppress Jufu at all, how should we deal with it" The door of the room was opened, and it turned out to be Qin Shan walking in.
"There is no turning back, even if Wuling does not send a single soldier, this city is still mine, immediately send the order out, three days later, the son will start attacking the city from the west gate at three o'clock" Zhuge Qiao immediately made arrangements, picked up a cup of tea and began to savor it, to enjoy the silence before the battle.
Wuling City is too guarded in the house; A man who looked like a scribe walked in, "My lord, I suspect that the Han army has entered the city"
"What does this mean?" asked Liu A.
"I have seen many faces in the city these days, and when I asked the guards of the city, they all claimed that there were hundreds more people entering the city these days than in previous days. Therefore, I dare to assert that the Han army has entered the city, and may be waiting for the right time to break through the Taishou Mansion in one fell swoop," the scribe carefully analyzed what he had seen and heard in the past few days.
"It's not unreasonable for you to remind me of this; If the Han army really entered the city, they would definitely not be able to carry weapons, and without weapons they would certainly not give up so much, but would find a way to obtain weapons, and the blacksmith shop would not be able to meet their needs; What do you say they are fighting, pay attention," Liu A reminded the scribe, and Liu A also began to analyze.
"Quartermaster's Office"
"That's right, they must be trying to attack our munitions depot so that their needs can be fully met."
"Order, from now on, secretly ambush a thousand soldiers around the quartermaster's office, waiting for the Han army to attack" Liu A immediately issued a military order, preparing to catch cicadas and yellow finches behind.
On the path leading from Yiting to Dangyang, in this place where there seemed to be no road, but it was walked out of the way by the army, there were about 10,000 soldiers dressed in Han army uniforms, and the leader was Fu Tong; No wonder the Wu army scouts did not find out their whereabouts, it turned out that they took an unusual path.
"Report to the general, we can reach the city of Dangyang in two days," the scout who was exploring the road in front reported the military situation.
"Order the whole army to march for a day and recuperate for a day" Fu Tong began to plan how to capture Dangyang City; Dangyang City was originally a county seat, but because it was close to Cao Wei, there were a thousand soldiers in the city to defend the city.
The time of two days passed in a blink of an eye, and the strange army led by Fu Tong and Zhang Yi also approached the city tower of Dangyang, but at this time, Fu Tong and Zhang Yi chose to divide their troops, and each led 5,000 soldiers to the west gate and south gate of Dangyang City;
In the dark night, the Han soldiers were approaching the head of Dangyang City, and the Wu army didn't notice it at all. "Enemy attack, enemy attackใใใ "Sergeant Wu finally found that the Han army was approaching them fifty meters away from the city tower.
The Han army also knew that its whereabouts had been discovered, and it accelerated its pace towards the city tower, and the soldiers at the front carried the ladder on the moat, so that the siege soldiers behind could get close to the city wall, and against the sparse arrows on the city wall, the Han army quickly set up the ladder and began to climb towards the city tower, ready to take Dangyang City in one go.
