Chapter 156: Encirclement and Reinforcement (3)
The commander of the Chu army, Shan Fuyu, was shocked when he saw the Wu army behind him, and he didn't know how many troops the Wu army had. When the soldiers of the Chu army heard that there was support from the Wu army, they also panicked, and the Chu army was in chaos for a while.
Shan Fu was worthy of being battle-hardened, and immediately sent dozens of generals Pegasus to give orders to carry out bullet pressure: "All the soldiers of the army, stay put, keep the formation on the spot!" ”
Shan Fu pondered for a moment, thinking that the Wu army camp in the south was no more than 5,000 soldiers and horses, and even if they came to the rescue, it would not exceed 5,000 people, and the defenders in the city were no more than 10,000 at most.
So Shan Fu stabilized his mind and ordered the three armies: suspend the siege of the city, order the rear army to be changed to the front army, and annihilate the enemy who came to help!
But this Wu army is all elite divisions, the movement is extremely fast, seeing the Chu army turn back to fight, but he does not love to fight, he rushed to kill the Chu army for a while, and did not go deep into the Chu formation, so he fought and left.
Ji Guangzhi in the city was specially sent to the rescue, seeing that the Chu army retreated like a tide, and engaged the Wu army who came to help, Ji Guang also opened the south gate, and ordered Wu Ding to lead an army of 3,000 to attack the enemy in chaos.
Although the Chu army was outnumbered, it was attacked by the enemy on its back, coupled with the unstable morale of the army and the panic of the people, and was killed by the Wu army in a burst of front and back, and the Chu army had to slowly retreat westward.
Su and see that the danger of the giant sun has been solved, and his 2,000 soldiers and horses are really a little lonely, and it is okay to sneak attack the enemy army unexpectedly, but to face the 20,000 Chu army, it is natural to hit the stone with an egg. Besides, once the Chu army finds out the details of its own troops, it will be worse to stick to itself, so it is better to take advantage of the chaos to sneak up first.
After a while, he led the army to attack for a while, and then sounded the gong and retreated. Taking advantage of the extremely fast speed to withdraw from the battlefield, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Chu army, Suhe still returned to the camp according to the original detour.
Ji Guang saw that the formation of the Chu army was chaotic on the city tower. But he still insisted on fighting hard and orderly in chaos. The Su army that came to the aid had quickly withdrawn from the battlefield, and Ji Guang was worried that Wu Ding's lone army would be surrounded and suppressed by the Chu army when he left the city, so he also ordered Wu Ding under the city to collect his troops and return to the city.
Seeing that the two Wu armies were retreating, Shan Fu ordered the whole army to return to the camp. This time, he was attacked by the Wu army on two sides, and although the damage was not great, it was killed by a few thousand Wu troops. Alone is full of hatred, and he doesn't dare to be careless.
The Wu army took Juyang as the fulcrum, and formed a horn with the large battalion of special support. Defend but not attack; And as long as the Chu army attacks one of them, the other Wu army will send troops to support.
The art of war is cloudy: it is impossible to attack a city without more than 3 times the number of troops, and the attack must be several times larger than the enemy. Although the Chu army had 30,000 people, for the Wu army, it was three to one. But to capture the Juyang, which is held by the Wu army. It doesn't seem easy; After all, the two main generals of the Wu army, Zhuanfu and Jiguang, are not idle.
Chu Shuai saw that the Wu army was well defended and had a basis for advancing and retreating, and he did not dare to advance lightly, so he ordered the three armies to set up a large camp in the west of Juyang City. Confront Wu Jun.
Hold back the footsteps of the Chu army to the north and entangle the main force of the Chu army that rescued Chen Guo. It is the strategic task of supporting this "rescue." As for the "encirclement point", it was the mission of coach Wang Sun Luo to attack Chen Guolucheng.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Besides, Wang Sun Luo led the army through Zhongli, crossed Mengcheng, and after dividing the troops with Zhuan Fu on the border of Chen, the 10,000 troops pointed to the border town of Chen, Lucheng.
This Lucheng is a big city, and it is the border pass in the southeast of Chen State. There are also two cities on the two wings of Lucheng, named Baiwan and Xiwan, which are the small cities around Lucheng.
Surrounding Lucheng and conquering it is a military method for Wu to teach Chen a lesson, and it is a combat mission set by Wang Sun Luo for himself when he sent troops this time.
After Chen Guo learned of the return of Chu State's rescue of troops, the whole country was united in hatred of the enemy, and he was no longer as before, and Chen Guo was determined to stand on the side of Chu this time. Chen Xianggong also ordered Sima Gongzi to lead the whole country's troops, and a little more than 10,000 people came to rescue Lucheng.
But Chen is a weak country, has been in the cracks of the big country, the main purpose of the national army is to stabilize the rule of the monarch and the court, that is to say, Chen Jun is mainly facing his own people, fighting for Chen Jun, is basically a fantasy.
But the army can be self-respecting, and Gongzi Liu's knowledge is well understood. Against Qiang Wu, although he knew that he could not do it, he had to do it; It can also be regarded as his duty as a member of the Chen royal family. So the prince stayed on the order of the Duke of Xiang, led an army of 10,000, and went out to the army in Wanqiu.
Chen Guodu Chengwanqiu is less than 100 miles away from Lucheng, Gongzi stayed and stopped, and when the army drove to the vicinity of Lucheng, the Wu army was already starting to attack the city.
The defender of this Lucheng is named Yonghu, and the defenders led by him are less than 2,000 people.
Wang Sun Luo ignored the two satellite cities of Baiwan and Xiwan for the time being, and just concentrated his forces to attack Lucheng. Yonghu had no choice but to close the city gate and hurriedly send the sentry horse to Wanqiu for help.
It's May, and the weather is getting hotter. Dressed in black gold armor, Wang Sun Luo rode a white Zephra horse and a green wind coat, and commanded the siege under the city.
Wang Sun Luo ordered the cloud echelon to climb the city to avoid the advantage of Chen soldiers on the city tower, and the Wu army only looked for the corner of the city where Chen Bing's defensive ability was weak, or set up a cloud ladder in the dead corner of the bow and arrow range.
The siege chariot was also erected, and the chariot of the Wu army was smaller than that of the Chu army, not so huge, so there were fewer archers who could ambush on the arrow tower. Wang Sun Luo asked the crossbowmen on the arrow tower to condescend and release arrows into the city, but they released rockets covered with butter in cotton yarn.
Hiss –
For a while, the rockets flew wildly, whether it was the city tower, or the houses in the city, as long as the rockets reached the place, the city was on fire for a while. In this way, the hearts of the people and the army in Lucheng became even more chaotic.
Wang Sun Luo sent crossbowmen to shoot rockets at the city gate of Lucheng, and the sharp arrows were nailed to the heavy city gate, and the arrows gathered together, and the city gate was also on fire for a while. Wang Sun Luo once accompanied Sun Wu and the soldiers to attack Chu, and the fire attack used today is mostly inherited from Sun Wu who learned from that day.
Wang Sun Luo saw that Lucheng was basically at his fingertips, and the defenders on this Lucheng did not have any decent equipment to defend the city, only bows and arrows and ordinary weapons. Wang Sun Luo set up the scaffold with his hand, and glanced at the soldiers of the Wu army who were climbing up the ladder, and a smile appeared on his face.
At this time, there was a report from Tanmalay: "Boss, Chen Guo has sent 10,000 troops and has arrived at Xiwan in the west of Lucheng!" ”
Wang Sun Luo's face froze and asked, "Who is Chen Jun's general?" Are you coming to the rescue of Deer City? ”
"Chen Jun is Sima Gongzi to stay as the commander, at this time Chen Jun has already entered Xiwan City, the villain can find out, Chen Jun will not advance half a step after Xiwan, it seems that Chen Jun wants to use Xiwan as a base to confront our army."
"Revisit! Be sure to always find out Chen Jun's movements! ”
Wang Sun Luo also studied and judged the military generals of Chen State before leaving the army: if Chen Yugong wants to pay homage to the generals, the most likely candidate for the commander will come from the royal family.
Because, the monarchs of the Chen State were coerced by the authorized ministers and military leaders several times, and the power was lost, and the king was like a puppet. This Chen Yugong finally sorted out the domestic situation, and he really became a veritable monarch, how could he rest assured that the military power of the whole country would be handed over to a foreign minister? He will inevitably choose a general from among the royal family to preside over this military operation.
And Gonggong's younger brother, Gongzi Liu, is naturally the best candidate. As a member of the royal family, he can rest assured that the prince is fond of reading, likes the art of war, and has a little dabbling in bows, horses, swords, and halberdles.
But this person is very cautious, he is not completely sure, and he will never act rashly.
Wang Sun Luo thought to himself: "Zhuanfu came to report, saying that he had relied on Juyang City as the base point to intercept the Chu army going north, and he wanted to use the shortest time to capture Lucheng and repel the Chen army led by Gongzi Liu, and then he could retreat to the south and join the Zhuanfu." As long as our two armies are assembled again, we will naturally have nothing to fear. ”
When Wang Sun Luo thought of this, he relieved himself, jumped off his horse, rushed to the Chinese army in a few steps, and then rolled up his sleeves, raised his hammers, and buried his head in beating the drum.
"Knock knock knock ,——" The big red drum was deafening.
The rapid sound of drums, penetrating the diffuse fireworks, and passing through those layers of shouts, filled the whole body of the Wu soldiers with strength, and Lucheng at this time was already stormy. (To be continued......)
