Chapter 334: The right time, the right place, and the right people
In the dark night, when Liu Pan wittily broke the army into pieces and fled into the alleys that extended in all directions, it undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty of Jinfan's pursuit. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Liu Ye didn't stupidly let the soldiers chase in, Rao Qian was not there, they didn't know anything about the structure of Linxiang City, if they rushed in, they would not only be dizzy by the other party, but also lose a lot of soldiers and horses.
Leading the troops from the main road to the east gate, no matter how scattered Liu Pan divided the army, their ultimate goal was to escape from the city, Liu Ye's hand from the bottom of the kettle, can extinguish all the hope of the Jingzhou army from the source.
Now that the time has passed, the time has come, and in half an hour, the sky will be bright, and at that time, as long as the Jingzhou army has not escaped from the city, it will be difficult for them to escape the overwhelming search and arrest of Jinfan.
Not long after driving out of the east gate, he saw an army coming head-on, the number of which was about five or six hundred, Liu Ye guessed that the other party might be the defenders of the east gate who came to help, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed at the moment, because they only needed to defeat this army here, and they could easily control the unguarded east gate city wall.
Su Fei led the army to meet the head-on attack, the opponent's number was too small and the morale was low, only held out for a few minutes, and then it collapsed and dispersed, and it fell for a while, and fled and fled, where could it still pose the slightest threat to Jinfan?
Liu Ye left an army to guard and surrender the prisoners, and he led the army to continue eastward.
Half an hour later, Liu Ye successfully arrived at the east gate of Linxiang.
However, to Liu Ye's surprise, the city gate had been opened at this time, and in the alleys on both sides, a large number of Jingzhou soldiers were rushing out, frantically rushing out of the city.
"It's not good, it's a step too late!" Liu Ye's face changed, and he immediately led troops to block the city gate.
The sky is still dark, and the poor Kou Mo is chasing, for the Jingzhou soldiers who escaped from Linxiang City first, Liu Ye no longer wants to chase anymore, but he still stays in the city...... I'm sorry, Liu Ye won't let them out of the city again.
"Kill !!"
In order to survive, the Jingzhou soldiers in the city brazenly launched a charge against Jinfan. However, when they found that no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't break the blockade of Jinfan, their hearts were suddenly enveloped by a thick despair, and their morale also plummeted.
Liu Ye took the opportunity to shout: "Those who descend will not be killed!! ”
Hear the words. Most of the Jingzhou soldiers who had lost the heart of resistance put down their weapons and chose to surrender, while the remaining small part turned around and fled. Once again, they retreated into a dark alley.
Liu Ye didn't care too much about this.
The overall situation has been decided, these stragglers are leaderless, there is no big wave at all, and when the day dawns, Jinfan launches a city-wide search, and they will eventually have nothing to hide.
As the battle at the East Gate came to an end, Linxiang City officially changed hands, the noisy shouts of killing gradually subsided, and the entire city fell into dead silence again. It's just that the smell of gunpowder that permeates the air can't be dissipated for a long time.
In this battle, Jinfan killed nearly 3,000 enemies, captured more than 2,000 enemies (including 600 Ximen defenders under Rao Qian), and finally escaped from Linxiang City Jingzhou soldiers, I am afraid that there will be no more than 1,000 people, as for Jinfan's own casualties, it is about 800 people.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Han Xuan, the Taishou of Changsha, fled from Linxiang at the first time, and led the troops to kill him when Rao Qian. The Taishou Mansion has long been empty.
In fact, the East Gate defenders who suddenly appeared to block Jinfan's way were dispatched by Han Xuan for their purpose. Naturally, it was for them to act as substitutes for the dead, so as to buy themselves enough time to escape.
However, Han Xuan's move was also quite crooked, after all, if it weren't for Jinfan's delay of several minutes on this East Gate defender, Liu Pan and Huang Zhong might not have been able to escape from Linxiang in time.
This time to seize Linxiang. Jinfan won a big victory, and the only fly in the ointment is that Sun Ben is still unconscious.
Huang Zhong's arrow was very powerful, and it directly pierced Sun Ben's heart guard, but even so, the arrow still sank an inch into Sun Ben's chest.
This is a rather dangerous distance, as long as the arrow goes half an inch deeper, maybe Sun Ben will be killed on the spot.
After the rescue of the doctor, Sun Ben's injuries were finally controlled, but when will he wake up? Maybe only God knows.
Now, although Jinfan occupies Linxiang, there are many families in the city, and the situation is still treacherous.
Because Gan Ning still had to lead troops to deal with Wang Wei, he couldn't stay in Linxiang for too long, so he let Liu Ye and Xu Sheng lead 5,000 soldiers to sit in Linxiang to control the overall situation.
Gan Ning believes that with Liu Ye's wisdom and Xu Sheng's bravery, it is enough to make Linxiang City impregnable.
Since Xiangshui returned to Luo County by boat, Gan Ning immediately asked Dong Xi to replace the seriously injured Sun Ben to monitor every move of Jiangjin Port and Gong'an Port, as long as they can successfully prevent Wang Wei's army from crossing south, with the combined strength of the four counties of Jingnan less than 20,000, how can they be able to defeat Jinfan's tens of thousands of lions?
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
In the sixth year of Jian'an, May 21.
Sanin.
The sky is as light as ever, the earth is full of mist, and the mountains in the distance are swirling, looming, like a fairyland on earth.
Sun Quan leaned on the pillar next to the courtyard, looking up at the gray sky with a dull gaze, and his heart was full of thoughts.
I still remember that more than a year ago, when he first succeeded his eldest brother Sun Ce as the lord of Jiangdong, he had made a great wish to create a huge prosperous era, but unfortunately, a few days later, his wish was declared bankrupt with Jinfan's big attack.
In fact, Sun Quan has always been unable to understand how he can't fight Wang Chong, who was born in Shuikou?
When talking about the sky, he owns the four counties of Jiangdong, while Wang Chong only has a dilapidated Huainan, and the two are obviously not the same.
In terms of geographical advantages, he has a big river as a natural barrier, and the mountains in the south are only a small trouble, so there is no need to worry about it at all, but Wang Chong also has to take into account the strong enemies in the north.
On harmony, Wang Chong offended the Huainan family, and the internal foundation was unstable, while he had the full support of the Jiangdong wealthy family, in comparison, it was a world of difference.
In terms of ability, he has read poetry and books since he was a child and is very knowledgeable, but Wang Chong is only a water coward, and how many big characters can he recognize? At this point, it is even more impossible to compare with yourself.
But why, he obviously occupied the right time and place, and his ability was far superior to Wang Chong, but he was defeated in his hands?
This question has really bothered Sun Quan for too long, but so far, he has not found an answer.
If Wang Chong knew his thoughts, he would definitely laugh off his big teeth, and then tell him that in fact, the reason is very simple, just one, it is nothing more than something wrong with your brain.
In the end, Sun Quan is still too young and sees everything too simply.
You must know that war has never been a simple data comparison, otherwise in Guandu last year, it would have been Yuan Shao who won instead of Lao Cao. (To be continued.) )
