Chapter 9: The Battle of Kuang Qi, a defeat of Sun Quan!
After half a month's journey, Man Chong and Lu Rui finally arrived in Guangling, and Chen Deng took Guangling Wenwu to greet the two outside the city gate.
"Guangling Taishou Chen Deng sees Lord Man, little marquis!"
"Yuanlong is polite, Yuanlong is out to greet him, so that he is flattered!"
"Berning is gracious, please!" Then Chen Deng led Man Chong and Lu Rui into the Taishou Mansion, and then took the two to dine outside the mansion.
"Why did Yuanlong take the two of me to dine outside the house? Could it be that there is a lack of chefs in the Yuanlong Mansion? Man Pet asked Chen Deng with a smile.
Chen Deng arched his hand on the carriage and said: "Berning is right, the chef in my house does not have the skills of the chef of Mochizuki Tower, this building is the first floor of Guangling, the dishes are delicious, the little marquis and Berning must like it!" ”
"Then I'll thank Brother Yuanlong!"
"Brother Yuanlong still understands Benhou, food, Benhou will not let go!" Lu Rui licked his mouth, there is something delicious again!
Soon, the three of them arrived at the Moon Tower, and when Xiao'er saw Chen Deng, he hurriedly greeted him and complimented: "Lord Chen is here?" The shop has prepared a good box for you, please! The three of them followed Xiao'er to the box on the top floor and sat down.
Chen Deng pointed to the east and said, "Boning, Hou Ye, from here you can see my Guangling City, and a little farther away is Moling." What do you think? ”
Man Zhong and Lu Rui looked at Chen Deng's fingers, and when they saw it, they were both taken aback, this is Guangling City? Although the area is not as large as Xiapi City, it is more prosperous. The houses below are all red tiled houses! This is very scary, this kind of house can only be afforded by wealthy people, and the level of wealth in Guangling may be able to catch up with Luoyang before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Chen Yuanlong, it's not simple!
"Brother Yuanlong is really a talent for governance, Guangling is rich, and the Han is rare, admire, full of favor is really admired!"
"Berning is polite, Yuanlong just did his duty!"
"Brother Yuanlong, if the Jiangdong thieves attack Guangling, it will be a self-defeating death!" Lu Rui also complimented Chen Deng.
"The little marquis is polite, my father is in Xudu Sikong Mansion, and I ask the little marquis to take care of it, Deng is grateful, and if Lord Sikong has any needs, Guangling will also fully assist Lord Sikong!"
"Yuanlong is polite, Chen Lao is doing well in Sikong Mansion, Yuanlong can rest assured, as for Lord Sikong, he also trusts Yuanlong very much, entrusts Guangling, and hopes that Yuanlong will not live up to Lord Sikong!" Okay, Xiao Dengdeng, knowing that you are a talent, I will also say good things in front of my wife Cao, as long as it is beneficial to Cao Wei, I will do it if you don't say it!
"Thank you, little marquis!"
"Lord Chen, the dishes are ready!" The owner personally delivered the dishes.
"Boning, Master Hou, come to us for dinner, and I will introduce you to the dishes here, this dish is Guangling fish, according to legend." The three of them happily had dinner in the Moon Tower, and then went back to the house to rest, the first day must be to reminisce about the old feelings, and tomorrow they will start talking about business!
The next day, under the leadership of Chen Deng, Man Chong and Lu Rui began to visit the city defense of Guangling. The city defense of Guangling was very tight under Chen Deng's arrangement. There are beacon towers, arrow towers, and the basic defenses are very in place, after inspecting Guangling, Chen Deng took the two to a small city by the river.
The small city is about more than 20 miles away from Guangling, not far from the river, the city is high and the pond is deep, and the defense is better than Guangling. Man Pet looked at it and asked, "Yuanlong, what is this city?" ”
"This city is called Kuangqi, less than thirty miles away from Guangling, and it is an important place for our army to defend Eastern Wu!"
"Oh? Please Yuanlong advises! Man asked with an arched hand.
"Boning, Hou Ye, please see, this city can look at Moling and other Jiangdong places, the east and west two rivers are urgent, only here seems quite calm, Deng once observed, within a year, only a short half a month here the river is turbulent, the rest of the days are quite calm, if the Jiangdong Army sends troops to land, this place is the best circle of twenty miles!"
"Yuanlong is really meticulously observed, but this place is the best place for the Jiangdong Army to land, here you can learn the details of the enemy's landing, waiting for the opportunity to raid, Yuanlong, high, really high!"
"Berning said with a smile, in the next will also move the nearby villages to the north of Guangling, if the Jiangdong Army wants to gain a firm foothold, it must first take this small city, this city I have been operating for many years, there are garrisons to garrison, you can be a hundred!"
"Wonderful, wonderful, Yuanlong, with this satellite city arching Guangling, Guangling can be safe!" Lu Rui heard Chen Deng's introduction, and couldn't help but admire, the satellite city, Chen Yuanlong actually set up a small city here, surrounded by strong walls and clear fields, the ancient landing war is not as good as the modern one, because of the restrictions of transportation and military rations, the landing force must seize a place to hold on, waiting for the follow-up troops, Chen Deng's design, the Jiangdong Army knows that it is a trap, and it has to step on it!
"Satellite city?" The two looked at Lu Rui in surprise. "Master Hou? What is a satellite city? ”
Oops! Inadvertently exploded the word out. Lu Rui looked around, pointed to Guangling and said, "Two of you, please see, Guangling is in the center, this city and the surrounding beacon towers, arrow towers defend Guangling City. Like the stars in the autumn night guarding the moon, Guangling City is the moon, and Kuang Qi is the guardian star! ”
The two glanced at each other and laughed: "I didn't think that Hou Ye still had such an explanation, it seems that he has been following Sikong for a long time, and he has been influenced by adults in writing words and poems, and a small city has become a star in the sky when it comes to Hou Ye's mouth, wonderful, wonderful!" ”
"This? Berning, Yuanlong has won the prize! "Middle Father, there is no way, take you as a shield.
"Lord Qiyu, your bags have been taken!" A soldier clenched his fist at Chen Deng in retaliation.
"Yuanlong wants to live in this city?" Man Pet asked in surprise.
"Exactly, Berning, according to the spies' reply, the Jiangdong Army has been abnormally mobilized recently, and there may be actions in the near future, so it is better for Deng to stay here, if the Jiangdong thieves come to raid, Deng is also here to command!"
"In that case, Man Pet also stays here to assist Yuanlong and guard Kuang Qi!"
"This?"
"Could it be that Yuanlong is suspicious of Manzhong? Full Favor is also the person who leads the troops, has Yuanlong ever known about the matter of Runan? ”
"Hahahaha, Boning Runan broke the Yuan family, Deng has already heard about it, since Boning is willing to stay, Deng can't ask for it! What about Hou Ye? ”
"Yuanlong, this marquis was ordered to support Guangling, if Guangling is lost, what face do I have to return to Xudu to see Lord Sikong? Guangling and Kuang Qi, aren't they all the same? ”
"Good! Hou Ye's courage, Deng admires, in this case, I ordered someone to prepare a room for Hou Ye and Bo Ning, and the three of us will live in Kuangqi from today onwards! ”
"Good! Just listen to Yuanlong's arrangement! ”
In the following days, Man Chong and Lu Rui both lived in Kuangqi, and discussed the way of governing the country with Chen Deng every day, but it was leisurely, but the good days did not last long, and when the sixth day was close to dawn, the spies came with news, and a large number of ships approached Kuangqi! Jiangdong Army, here!
Chen Deng and the three of them climbed the city tower, the river was white, and there was no enemy army at all, Lu Rui asked suspiciously: "Yuanlong, is there really a big army to raid?" Why didn't I see it? ”
"Hou Ye, the fog is big today, Hou Ye may not be able to see clearly, but according to the report of the beacon tower, the Jiangdong army has already marched here, if Yuanlong's estimate is good, in another hour, the Jiangdong army will arrive, and then the fog will disperse, and Hou Ye will naturally see it clearly."
"Hmm!"
Sure enough, in less than an hour, the fog slowly dispersed, and Lu Rui saw that there were a lot of building boats and ships not far away heading towards Kuang Qi, and on the leading building boat, a big Sun character was printed!
"Who is the leader of the Jiangdong Army?" Chen Deng asked the spies.
"Lord Hui, the leader of the Jiangdong Army is the second brother of Sun Ce, Sun Quan, the second son of the former Wucheng Marquis, and it is said that he is quite strategic!"
"Huh, quite strategic? I don't think so! ”
"Oh? Brother Yuanlong, please? Lu Rui arched his hand and asked Chen Deng, how could the Emperor of Eastern Wu be so despised by Chen Deng?
"Hou Ye, from the point of view of Sun Quan's leading the army, this person is not familiar with the art of war, the fighter, pay attention to the right time, place and people, the person who is in the battle, needs to observe the surrounding environment and arrange the troops, Sun Quan does not choose to land in the distance, but directly marches to my Kuang Qi, my city is high and deep, Sun Quan insists on attacking, not asking for his own death?"
Lu Rui nodded and said, "What Yuan Long said is very true, it seems that our army will win this battle!" "Sun Quan really won't lead troops to fight, otherwise Sun Ce wouldn't have said before he died that you are not as good as me in war, and I am not as good as you in governing the country! This kind of use of troops? It's an idiot!
"Yuanlong, Boning has a plan to give to Yuanlong, I don't know Yuanlong?"
"Oh? What is Berning's plan? It's coming quickly, and Yuanlong can't ask for it! ”
"Yuanlong, since there is our army on land to resist, then in the water, our army can also do something!"
"This? Berning, although my Guangling military and civilians are also familiar with the water, but there is no regular water army, the Jiangdong Army is a regular Han army, if we fight on the river, I am afraid that our army will not be able to catch it! ”
Yuan Long laughed, attacking the enemy's strength with his own shortcomings, is it a matter of full favor? It's just that Yuan Longyan said that the water surface here is calm, and it is the terrain of the mouth of the pot, Kuang Qi is the tail, and the Jiangdong Army is the mouth, our army only needs to send dead soldiers to burn the mouth of the pot with oil at the mouth of the pot, and the Jiangdong Army can enter? It's much harder to get out! ”
"Berning's plan is very clever, if so, it will be easy for the Jiangdong Army to come in, but it will be very difficult to get out!" Lu Rui nodded appreciatively, full of favor really observed carefully, from the point of view of later generations, Kuang Qi is a port, the bottom of the gourd, and if the Jiangdong Army wants to attack Kuang Qi, it must enter from the place where the Yangtze River borders the waters of Kuang Qi, which is the so-called pot mouth, after coming in, the fire pot mouth, Sun Quan is the turtle in the urn!
"Wonderful, wonderful! It's really a clever plan, Dengjiu is here, but I didn't find that this plan can be set up, just because of the terrain to cast a city here, today's words of Berning, let Deng benefit a lot, according to Berning's plan! ”
Chen Deng summoned more than a dozen dead soldiers, and after giving an order, the dead soldiers boarded a small ship with fire oil and slowly dived into the reeds in the water. Chen Deng and the three of them were on the city tower, observing the movements of the Jiangdong Army!
Soon the Jiangdong Army landed in front of Kuangqi City, less than two miles away from Kuangqi City, and the actions of the Jiangdong Army made Chen Deng and the three people on the city tower see clearly!
Judging from the number of ships and the number of people landing, Sun Quan had about 10,000 to 20,000 people, while Chen Deng's army stationed at Kuang Qi was only about 3,000 people. But seeing Sun Quanjun's military appearance, Lu Rui smiled, this is also the army? Koto's family stragglers, right? Sun Bofu borrowed 3,000 people from Yuan Shu to pacify Jiangdong, it turned out that they were all dealing with pigs' heads?
Chen Deng and Man Chong looked at Sun Quan's army, and couldn't help but shake their heads, there is still such a landing? There are actually soldiers in front who help the soldiers in the back and pull people off the boat, this is not a bandit to rob, right? Jiangdong Army? Bandits only!
"Brother Berning, what do you think of this army?" Chen Deng smiled contemptuously and glanced at Manzhong.
"Brother Yuanlong, this army is not a climate, according to the bottom of the list, even the Yellow Turban Army is not as good, what are you afraid of?"
"Okay, in that case, our army is waiting for the opportunity to move!"
"Someone, send a message to the Danyang dead to come!"
"No!" Soon, a special force came to the school field under the city tower, and Chen Deng and the three of them stood on the city tower.
"Brother Yuanlong, who is this army?"
"Can you know that Tao Gongzu's Danyang is dead?"
"Oh? This is the Danyang dead soldier that Tao Gongzu is proud of? ”
"Master Hou, these people are so strong!" Dian Wei whispered from the side.
Lu Rui nodded, these people are indeed very strong, there is a very stylish name in modern times, muscular man, shirtless, holding a big knife, quite murderous, at first glance, he is a soldier who has experienced a hundred battles!
"Brother Yuanlong, with this elite, you will break the Jiangdong Army!" Full pet excitedly high-fived and said.
"Well, please Bo Ning and Hou Ye follow me to continue to observe the Jiangdong Army!"
Sun Quan's army finally landed and marched towards Kuangqi City, and soon, the army reached Kuangqi City. The soldiers were lazy and their morale was poor.
"General, it seems that Cao Jun has not made any moves?" Sun Quan's partial general looked at the city tower and died down? It seems that there is no one to defend it, huh?
Sun Quan looked at the city tower, and was also puzzled, and the garrison did not move forward.
"Brother Yuanlong, it seems that Sun Quan really doesn't know how to fight, and he doesn't call for battle?"
"Hmph, since that's the case, then our army will rush out!" After Chen Deng finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the herald sent the order.
"Bang!" Countless arrows flew down from the city tower, Kuang Qi's city gate was wide open, and the Danyang dead rushed out.
"Huh?" Before Sun Quan could react, he was shot with an arrow, grazed his ankle, and almost fell off his horse.
"General?"
"Block me, block it!" Sun Quan shouted loudly, and the Jiangdong army rushed to the Danyang dead soldiers.
As soon as it came into contact, it was a tragedy! The Danyang dead soldiers were armed with big knives, and each of them was brave, and one was ten, like cutting vegetables, to kill the Jiangdong Army! The Jiangdong Army had no power to resist at all. The front army was killed, and the rear army showed signs of retreating, chaos, really chaos!
"The general is not good, the rear army is on fire, the river is surrounded by fire, and the rear road of our army is cut off!" A soldier hurriedly reported.
"What?" When Sun Quan heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly reined in his horse and retreated. "Retreat, the whole army retreat!" Hearing Sun Quan's order, the Jiangdong army became even more confused, trampled on each other, and ran towards the boats by the river.
"Order the whole army to assault and kill the Jiangdong thieves!" Chen Deng drew his long sword and ordered the whole army to assault, and the soldiers in Kuangqi City rushed out.
Lu Rui and Man Chong glanced at each other, and they both smiled, Jiangdong Army? Winning went so well! (Thank you for your support and suggestions, the rabbit will follow everyone's suggestions, write a better demon, I've been busy at work recently, there is only one more every day, please bear with me!) )
