Chapter 61 Rushing to the aid of Xiangxiang
According to their own memory, these two people should have gone straight to Jiangling, Gong'an and other important places in Jingzhou, and this deployment was obviously because their appearance threatened the Jiangdong Sun clan.
Huo Yi is not complacent because of this matter, Huo Yi is extremely entangled at the moment, which means that once the war involves the three forces, he will have to face the entire Jiangdong Army alone, and with the strength of just two counties, he will fight against the entire Jiangdong. Huo Yi felt a heavy pressure.
It was not until this moment that Huo Yi was shocked by Guan Gong's ability to defeat Cao's army with this one-third of the territory of Jingzhou in his previous life, and it was not until Sun Cao joined forces that he was defeated.
Wang Ping glanced at Huo Yi and said, "Lu Xun's previous achievements are unknown, how can the general be so jealous of him?" β
Huo Yi smiled bitterly, this is the advantage of the traverser, you don't know the powerful character, but you know his sharpness. But these things are impossible for Huo Yi to say.
Ye Zhi said: "The Jiangdong army is divided into two roads, there are countless generals under the command of the Sun family, and there are no longer a few generals who can lead a division alone, why can such a little-known figure lead an army with Lu Meng?" It can be seen that there must be something special about them! There are no strengths next to the blue eyes, but the employment is extremely appropriate, it can be seen that Lu Xun's is not simple! β
Huo Yi nodded: "What Youming said is right!" This kind of character is exactly what we should be more wary of, because unfamous characters are often easier to ignore and more dangerous! β
Early the next morning, Huo Yi's men and horses set out again and went straight to Lingling County.
Xiangnan City, Changsha County, the city guard. The generals of the Jiangdong Army are all virtuous.
"General, if our army starts a war with the Jingnan army, what are the chances of victory?" A general in gorgeous armor said loudly.
Lu Meng shook his head: "Although the Jingnan Army formed the army late, its training is extremely systematic, Huo Yi's son is a great variable, and I can't predict it!" β
"Since it is unpredictable, how dare to start a war with it, whether our army can take Jingzhou is a matter of great importance, according to the opinion of the last general. It's better to feint to attack Jingnan, but in fact, the army is directly aimed at Jiangling, Gong'an, and Hanshou three important places, if these three places are taken, Guan Yu's army will be in chaos! "The warrior with the gorgeous armor said.
Lu Meng pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "General He, Huo Yi's performance in the first battle of Hanzhong is enough to prove that his ability is not weak, in my opinion, this son will inevitably return to Jingnan in the near future, and then our army's feint attack will definitely not be able to deceive this son, how can we break through the heavily guarded Jiangling, public security and other important places?" Huo Yi just needs to be smart. Just divide your forces to harass our army. can break up our offensive. and even the total annihilation of our army. β
"Du Du is afraid that he will be killed by that Huo Yi, and he will be regarded as a god!" The warrior with the gorgeous armor disdained.
"Male seedlings are silent! The Governor has his own arrangements, how dare he mock the Governor like this? A white-haired veteran got up and said, it was Jiangdong veteran Huang Gai.
"It doesn't matter! General Huang. It is inevitable to quarrel in the account, just say everyone's opinions, choose the good ones and follow them! Lu Meng was less angry than Wuxia Ameng in the past, and said slowly, not at all interested in the sarcasm in He Qi's words.
"Governor, the last general thinks that our army should fight quickly! Huo Yi led a group of men and horses into Shu and has not yet returned, and our army can take advantage of its non-return, and Jingnan has no famous general. Capture Lingling and annihilate its living forces in the Lingling area, so that even if Huo Yi returns, there will be no soldiers available. Pan Zhang got up and said.
"General Pan is too disobedient to the generals of Jingnan! Don't mention others. It is Wang Chong, the current enemy of our army, this person has been with Huo Yi for many years, and I see that his arrangement of troops is very methodical and extremely difficult, I am afraid that it is not our army that can be captured urgently! It was the famous Jiangdong general Zhu Ran who spoke.
"Yes! I once heard that Liu Min of Quanling is also quite knowledgeable in military strategy, and he is a rare good general! This person is preparing for the county soldiers in Lingling, and the training is very methodical, which is very rare! The veteran Han Dang also responded.
"The former General Lu sent a letter from Guiyang, and his enemy Deng Ai was extremely cautious and cautious, and the arrangement of troops was even more in line with the time and place, and his army momentum was like a rainbow. Lu Meng continued.
"It can be seen that although Huo Yiqi is not in Lingling, Lingling has already been arranged by him very properly!" Han Dang said in a deep voice.
"Alas, our army has been confronting the Jingnan army here for a long time, do you want to return in vain?" Pan Zhang said.
"This battle is the inevitable battle of our army! Our army must take the three counties of Jingnan, Guan Yu took the initiative to attack Xiangfan, I see the situation, Guan Yu has the upper hand in the first battle of Xiangfan, if it is allowed to develop and do nothing, it will be difficult for our army to take back Jingzhou. Only by taking advantage of Cao's involvement in it and borrowing strength can we take Jingzhou! If you miss this opportunity, you will never be able to win Jingzhou again! Lu Meng patted the handsome case and said coldly.
"The generals listen to the order, tomorrow they will send troops to attack Xiangxiang, either the enemy dies, or I die, and the general Lu is ordered to attack Deng Aibu from Guiyang, and he cannot be allowed to return to Wang Chong!" LΓΌ Meng finally gave an order, and as soon as this order came out, it meant that the situation in Jingnan was about to change.
Huo Yi's men and horses galloped all the way, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and the movements of the Jiangdong army in Jingnan became more and more obvious. Five days later, as soon as Huo Yi's men and horses appeared in Quanling City, Liu Min gave Huo Yi two extremely bad news.
Yu Ban and Pang De led the Seventh Army of Cao's Army to aid Fancheng. Huo Yi didn't know if the flooded Seventh Army in history would appear again, but he knew that this was mostly unlikely, because of his appearance, the northern offender Xiangfan was greatly advanced, and it was winter at the moment, how did the water come?
But Huo Yi also knew that Guan Yu's military strength was much stronger than in history, and he replenished a full 20,000 trained elites to Guan Yu, even if he could not flood the Seventh Army, and he could fight with Cao's army.
The second is that Lu Meng and Lu Xun launched the war against Lingling almost at the same time, and the war at this moment is extremely tight, especially Wang Chong's department, only more than 10,000 men and horses have to resist the attack of 50,000 elites of the Jiangdong Army, which is indeed a little difficult, and the terrain around Lianshui is extremely flat, and there is basically no danger to defend.
The battle has been going on for several days, and Deng Ai's more than 10,000 men and horses have divided more than 3,000 troops, and this part of the men and horses has already arrived in Quanling City, and the leader is Huo Liang. There are also thousands of county soldiers in Quanling City, all of whom are new recruits who have just joined Rong, but at this moment, whether they are recruits or not, they can only go directly to the battlefield to experience.
Huo Yi personally led more than 8,000 troops and horses non-stop and went straight to Xiangxiang. He was sure that as long as he arrived before the collapse of the whole army, he would have a chance to salvage the situation.
Wang Chong's men and horses fought extremely hard in the Xiangxiang area, all thanks to Fei Yi's internal affairs did a very good job, there was no natural disaster in the past six months, and the food weight was extremely sufficient, so that he could hold the first line of Xiangxiang, although the water of Lianshui was gentle, Wang Chong relied on a brute force to block the Jiangdong army to the north of Lianshui.
At this moment, Wang Chong was already desperate, gave up the defense of Chong'an, Zhaoyang, and Fuyi, and gathered all the troops of more than 20,000 troops in the Xiangxiang area, which was able to hold this line.
In fact, the area of Chong'an is mountainous, and the attack is extremely inconvenient, Zhaoyang and Fuyi are too far away, and LΓΌ Meng pursues the living force of Lingling County, so that while completely suppressing Wang Chong with frontal forces, he defends it head-on and does not send a division to attack.
Huo Yi's men and horses came very slowly, in fact, because most of these sergeants were new soldiers, and most of them were foot soldiers, and they had to take care of the transportation of grain and grass, so they did not appear outside Xiangxiang until the evening of the fifth day.
In Xiangxiang City, Wang Chong has already become an ant on a hot pot in a hurry, Lu Meng is indeed an extremely difficult opponent, he is a little worse than him, but he doesn't know how his young master fought back then, and he actually beat such a character without the power to fight back, with fewer enemies, and killed the whole army.
He also got the news early, the young master had returned to Quanling, and the reinforcements were also on the way, and they would arrive soon.
However, the Lianshui defense line outside the city was already in danger, and the Jiangdong Army even landed on the south bank in short boats many times, and a brigade of nearly 1,000 men and horses was wiped out on a river beach because of carelessness. This makes the already clumsy defense line even worse.
Wang Chong even had the impulse to transfer back all the men and horses on the defense line and retreat to Xiangxiang City. But he knew what the price would be, and it was entirely possible for the enemy army to surround Xiangxiang and divide his troops to go straight to Quanling, and then the situation would be difficult to control.
Wang Chong stood on the city tower and looked at the Jiangdong Army Water Village in the north, which seemed to be clearly visible, the boats on the river were all over the place, and the Jingnan Army and the Jiangdong Army were staggered, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
Night finally came, and the armies returned to their positions.
Wang Chong just took a breath, but he heard the guards say: "General! General Huo is coming! Thirty miles south of the city! β
At that moment, Wang Chong seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, as if Huo Yi's arrival would solve all problems. Wang Chong subconsciously looked at the Jiangdong Army Dazhai in the north, and said coldly: "Wuxia Ameng! Hum! β
Turning his head and saying loudly: "Welcome the young master into the city with me!" β
