Chapter 443: Race against time
"Kill it at all costs! What a bloody time was actually made like this by you! Hi ββ! Li Yu shook his head, I don't know whether it should be happy or sad, this is an opportunity, a very good opportunity, but it will also make Cao Jun pay a lot of lives;" Promise! Xiahoudun nodded and walked forward majestically, ordering the guards to pass the news to the generals of other aspects, at all costs, which means that all means can be used; The methods used by the generals of the Cao army were very simple and rude, and the first soldier to enter Lingyang City was promoted to three levels and rewarded with 10,000 yuan! At the same time, the banner of Cao's army was erected on the ground, and the overseers were organized to use bows and arrows against their backs, and those who dared to retreat from the banner were immediately shot; And these generals of the Cao Army are also killed, their eyes are red, let's take Xiahou Yuan as an example, an old man who is about to be fifty years old, it is hard to imagine that he is still so passionate and hot-blooded, and most of the responsibility for letting Lu Xun go is counted on him, so how can he not be depressed?
You must know that most of the current generals of the Cao Army are already famous, and all of them are figures with heads and faces, except for Cao Pi, who is the emperor, that is, Li Yu dares to shout and scold mercilessly in front of everyone, and they can't raise their heads when they scold; Xiahou Yuan was depressed in his heart, but he didn't dare to sprinkle fire on Li Yu, if he dared, Li Yu would not hesitate to order others to beat him, and others would also beat him without hesitation, so he could only sprinkle his anger on these unlucky Wu Jun; "Big fish! Big fish have appeared! Suddenly, a soldier shouted, Xiahou Yuan looked up, and sure enough, Sun Quan was fighting desperately at the head of the city! It's also sad, he is a dignified son of heaven of a country who was said by Cao Jun to be a big fish, and the soldiers said this because they were also waiting, what are they waiting for?
"Kill Sun Quan! I will personally ask the Son of Heaven for his credit! Feng Hou Bai will not be a problem! Give it all to me! Kill Sun Quan! Kill Sun Quan! The soldiers were waiting for his words! Xiahou Yuan also understood their thoughts, and with a loud roar, Cao Jun was crazy!
"My lord! It's dangerous here! You'd better step back! He is not only a minister of Wu State, he is also Sun Quan's father-in-law, so he sees the foundation of Wu State more important than anyone else, Sun Quan is undoubtedly the top priority!
"Let go!" , Sun Quan shouted, this is an opportunity to show himself: "Although Zhongmou does not have the courage of his father and brother, he is not a scholar who is powerless!" Soldiers are on the battlefield! Why should I hide in the rear? β
The words were loud and sonorous, which made the soldiers of Wu deeply admired and greatly enhanced their morale, and then Sun Quan threw himself into the battlefield and killed the soldiers of the Cao army like a madman; Li Yu looked at the tragic fighting scene, and immediately scolded: "These fools! Two goods! Just know to rush and hit! I'm so! What about catapults? What about archers? Why not fire suppression? Damn! Sima! Go tell them! How to fight this battle! One by one, the self-proclaimed battlefield veterans actually behaved like this"
Sima Yi nodded yes, quickly got on the war horse, and walked around, it is true that the momentum of this fierce rush is very terrifying, and it is likely to make the enemy army self-defeating, but the continuity and resilience of this attack are too low, once the attack is frustrated, needless to say, in less than two hours, the soldiers will be tired and do not want to participate in the attack again; The awakened generals ordered catapults to bombard the city, and the archers shot upwards at the backs of the besieging soldiers, suppressing the Wu army and preventing them from showing their heads. The war is still going on, and the tragic scene is especially better than before, but no one dares to take a step back, like angry bulls desperately together, either death or victory, Cao Jun sacrificed too much for the battle of Wu, they have been preparing for a long time, and they don't want to miss the opportunity in vain; And Wu didn't want to perish, so the low-grade of death, only by blocking Cao Jun and waiting for Lu Xun's good news, could he breathe a sigh of relief temporarily, and both sides were insisting
Cao Jun's catapult was extremely powerful, in addition to the stones being thrown out, there were also cans filled with fire oil were ignited and thrown out, and after falling, the cans were shattered, and the fire rose to the sky, and now Cao Jun can't take care of the people in the city!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Su began to gather people to extinguish the fire, and then began to claim the brutality of the Cao army, they could not attack for a long time, once they attacked the city, they would be angry and angry, and now Lingyang City was in danger, he begged everyone to help Sun Quan for the sake of Wu and for himself; Seeing Lu Su kneeling in front of them with tears streaming down his face, these ordinary people felt that he was usually kind to them, and felt that his words might come true, so young people and middle-aged people rushed to the city in groups with knives and guns to help Wu Jun defend the city; The women rushed to make military rations, and the elderly and children transported the wounded, which was the most terrible! The whole city of Lingyang was united, and a very strong combat power broke out, and the Cao army could only temporarily stalemate with the Wu army, almost three times the enemy, but could not break through the city, and the Cao army was in a predicament!
"Whewββ! It's really dangerous to go on like this! It only takes one day to reach the cavalry in the area of Dongzhi and Shitai, and we sent a message to Cheng Yu three days ago to let Cheng Yu mobilize grain and grass from Yuzhou and Xuzhou, and let Cao Hong of Fancheng transport grain and grass, calculate the time, Lu Xun can find our grain and grass in two days at most today! But it's like this."
Li Yu looked at the irregular troops that appeared on the city, felt the trickiness of the matter, and exhaled: "Mingjin will withdraw the troops first!" Let the soldiers rest! Call Xiahoudun and the others over! β
Cao Jun Mingjin withdrew his troops, Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief, and almost didn't fall to the ground, but fortunately, he was supported by someone, standing firmly, he raised his long sword high, and roared: "Victory!" Win! Victory", the soldiers shouted together, and the momentum was monstrous; At the same time, in the big tent of Cao Jun, Li Yu drove Xiahou Dun down, sat in the seat of the main seat, and said with some hatred: "I originally thought that you would implement this strategy by yourself and destroy the Wu State, but now it seems that it is undoubtedly disappointing!" β
"The last general is incompetent! Shame on the teachings of the gentleman! Xiahoudun knelt on one knee, ashamed, the relationship between him and Li Yu was also a teacher and a friend, more often Li Yu liked to partner with him, taught him many things, he respected Li Yu very much and was afraid of him;" Never mind! Not the time to hold accountable! Time is pressing, and I don't want to punish you for your brainless behavior! Rest for the night tonight, give the soldiers something to eat, and we're going to fight a battle! There is no need to control the expenditure of military rations!
Tomorrow! Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Wei Yan, Xu Huang, and Wen hired the five of you to lead the army of 100,000 and give me a desperate impact on the east gate of Lingyang City! Don't stop for a moment, you must hit them hard! Let them breathe, and beat their soldiers elsewhere!
Xu Rong and Zang Ba led 50,000 troops, ambushed at the West Gate, hibernated, and attacked when I told you to attack! Lu Bin, Zhang Liao! I'll give you 30,000 cavalry! Stabilize the rear, Lu Xun will almost be back at noon tomorrow!
But he was sleepy and tired of long-distance running, and his combat effectiveness was far lower than usual, so he took the opportunity to kill him! Rest well! Destroy the Kingdom of Wu, and it will not be far before we complete our dream of dominating the world, and there is only one Shu Kingdom left that is still breathing!
This is not only the dream of His Majesty today, but also the dream of the first emperor, and it is also the dream of people who have fought all their lives in blood, and at this time, I don't want anyone to make a mistake! You can make mistakes again and again, but you can't make three or four mistakes! Do you understand? β
Li Yu almost scolded them violently, Li Yu is not domineering, nor is he pampered and arrogant, he taught these people like this, although they will be dissatisfied, but this is also for their good, simply put, some of them have lost their original enterprising heart!
Most of the people who followed Cao Cao are now high-ranking and powerful, they are all generals and marquis, even Xiahou Yuan's "little second brother" He Man is now also a miscellaneous general, Guan Neihou, and he has become famous! They don't have the same momentum of death, and more often than not, they even learn the intrigue of Wenchen;
Lu Xun held the determination that either you die or I die, and led the cavalry with only more than 15,000 people left to the Dongzhi and Shitai areas, and was trapped for so long, he had already learned the time of Cao's army to transport military rations, and also estimated the speed of the cavalry and other factors, this time it was indeed a temporary idea, but why didn't he prepare for a long time?
Sprinkle scouts, this is what Lu Xun did, he didn't know the real walking place of Cao Jun can only use this method, anxiously waiting, maybe his luck is not bad, and when he went to the east to this central turning point of Cao Jun's grain and grass, he got the news that a batch of military rations was transported along the Yangtze River from Fancheng, which was enough for 200,000 stones!
200,000 stone of military rations! Cao Jun, who had landed ashore and was transporting to the east, was only about 5,000 people escorting grain and grass, and Cao Hong, a general escort, Lu Xun stroked his palms and smiled: "What a godsend!" Wu! There is salvation! Gan Ning! β
Gan Ning was abducted by him, he knew that he was more of a strategist, with a variety of soft powers such as resourcefulness and planning, while he did not have the hard power of a general. "In!" , Gan Ning gave up right away, he also knew Lu Xun's plan, so he ran out with Lu Xun so without hesitation, you must know that they are now running out at the risk of being suspicious of Sun Quan, which shows that he is also a temperamental person; "Get ready for battle! The goal is to burn Cao Jun's grain and grass and not get too entangled, we have to rush back and harass Cao Jun! Lu Xun said lightly, Gan Ning frowned slightly, and looked at Dongzhi City not far away:
"The Governor must mean to intercept Cao's army before they reach the city east, right? What about Cao Jun in the city in the east? They also have more than 3,000 troops, and it would not be wonderful if they flanked us! β
"It doesn't matter! We can bypass the city to the east and not let them notice, and when they find out, our side will also settle the battle, and they will not be able to stop us! Burning grain and grass, Cao's army had no food and could only retreat! Our Wu State will usher in a respite and transfer to the Xishu or Jiaozhou generation."
The more Lu Xun's words were spoken, the quieter he became, although they were not very negative, but the decadence in them could still be heard
