Chapter 490: Looking at the Side of the Ridge as a Peak (Plus More, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

On the third day of Wei Ba's evacuation from Yuanling, Lu Xun's troops rushed to Yuanling. As soon as the part arrived, Lu Xun, who had been forbearing, immediately took action. He sent 3,000 men and horses, with food, upstream, to the Xiushan area to meet Buqi. This task was originally in charge of Wei Jing, but now Wei Jing himself has been captured by Wei Ba, and the time has been delayed for too long, and if it drags on any longer, Bu Qi will probably be wiped out.

After arranging for the people who responded to Buqi, Lu Xun personally led the army to Chenyang. As soon as he arrived in Chenyang, Lu Lan reported to him the situation in Longyan Beach. Longyan Beach is more than thirty miles west of Chenyang, and Wei Ba's actions did not hide his intentions, Lu Lan was clear about everything that happened in Longyan Beach, and of course he was clear about Wei Ba's intentions.

"General, if nothing else, Wei Ba's target is Pan Jun. As long as Longyan Beach is stopped for half a month, Pan Jun's department will collapse. Without food, no matter how many people there are, it is useless. ”

Lu Xun stared at the map and sighed for a while.

"The camp of Xuefeng Mountain was destroyed, and the grain storage in Lipu was taken away by Wei Ba, and now only Chenyang has a little grain left in Wuling. Even if Pan Jun turned from the western foot of Wuling Mountain to Youshui and avoided Wei Ba's interception, he would eventually return to Chenyang to eat. Moreover, in this way, there will be an extra half a month's trip, even if Wei Ba does not pursue and let him retreat safely, his loss will not be small. ”

Lu Lan nodded helplessly. It was with this in mind that he felt that there was nothing he could do. Wei Ba blocked the attack in Longyan Beach, which was like jamming Pan Jun's throat, so that he couldn't go up or down, so he could only be suffocated to death.

Lu Xun put his hands behind his back and paced slowly in the hall. It's like talking to yourself, and it's like teaching Lu Lan. Although Lu Dai's army doesn't know the result yet, judging from the situation in Xuefeng Mountain, his losses are at least more than six thousand, and Buqi retreats all the way, even if Zuihou can withdraw, the losses are more than five thousand. Combined with the losses of the previous battles, the direct losses of these two roads alone exceeded 15,000 people. At present, only Pan Jun's loss all the way is not big, if we can rescue him safely, although we have suffered a loss. But it's not unbearable. But in case Pan Jun was intercepted by Wei Ba. If we can't return to Chenyang in time to eat, then our losses in this battle will be at least more than 20,000 people, more than half of the army going out, and maybe even seventy or eighty percent. ”

Lu Xun turned his head sideways. Glancing at Lu Lan: "This is not counting the large amount of ordnance, grain and grass lost. ”

Lu Lan nodded silently. There was bitterness in his eyes. This battle of Wu Shu. Wu Guo suffered too much loss. Shu Han sent less than 500 people from beginning to end, but they ate 20,000 troops of Wu alive, as well as countless grains, grasses and ordnance. After this battle. Wu's grip on Jingzhou would be greatly weakened, let alone threatening the southern part of Shu Han.

In this battle, from the court to the battlefield, Wu Guo lost completely.

"For Shu Han, if he has Jingzhou, he may pose a direct threat to Jiangdong and can send troops to attack at any time. For our Wu State, the loss of Jingzhou is the opening of the door, and we will not be able to sleep in peace from now on. Therefore, we must ensure control of Jingzhou and must not give up Jingzhou. ”

Lu Xun said unhurriedly: "If you want to continue to control Jingzhou, you must have enough troops, so Pan Jun's army must be as complete as possible." Otherwise, Jingzhou is likely to no longer be ours, and the efforts of more than ten years before and after will be in vain. ”

"But how are we going to get him out?" Lu Lan asked puzzledly, "Attack?" ”

"A strong attack is never a good strategy." Lu Xun shook his head: "We can't afford such a big casualty. ”

Lu Lan became a little anxious. Before Lu Xun came, he had already considered these issues. It doesn't matter if Pan Jun chooses another way to escape, or if he attacks and responds, the result is almost the same. Wei Ba chose to set up a formation on Long'an Beach, obviously taking into account all factors, leaving them little room for choice.

"So what to do?" Lu Lan's brows twisted into a pimple. He racked his brains, but he couldn't think of any way to crack it, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Lu Xun for advice.

Lu Xun looked at him, a trace of disappointment flashing in his eyes. "Nakayama, you are helpless because you only think about things from your own perspective. If you look farther and see the whole world, if you can look at it from a different angle, from Wei Ba's point of view, things may not be turning around at all. ”

"Wei Ba's angle?" Lu Lan still didn't have a clue: "He is now winning steadily, what other opportunities are left for us?" ”

Lu Xun hesitated for a moment, walked up to Lu Lan, stared into his eyes, and asked softly: "Do you think that after this battle, Wei Ba will leave Wuling and return to Chengdu to be an idle official with nothing to do, and let Zhuge Liang be the only victor?" ”

Lu Lan blurted out: "Of course not." ”

"So what should he do?" The corners of Lu Xun's mouth twitched: "How can he gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou?" ”

Lu Lan's eyes lit up, a smile rippled from the corner of his eyes, he arched his hand to Lu Xun, and gave a deep salute: "General, you really woke up the dreamer with a word." He paused, and then said, "However, I'm worried that Wei Ba may not think that far. ”

"If he hadn't thought it that far, then we would have lost too much." Lu Xun smiled slightly: "Zhong Shan, you must not underestimate Wei Ba's ambitions. I think it's not just that we Wu people don't want to see him gain a foothold in Jingzhou, but Zhuge Liang doesn't want to. ”

Lu Lan laughed silently and nodded again and again.

"Pass my order and march to Longyan Beach!"

"Whoa."

……

Bu Qi drew his sword and roared: "Beat the drum, beat the drum, charge me!" ”

"Whoa!" The heralds responded loudly, waving the bunting up and down, giving the order to attack again. The drummers were sweating profusely, and their arms were so sore that they couldn't lift up, but they didn't dare to stop, gritted their teeth, used their strength to feed, and beat the war drums again.

"Knock knockβ€”knock knockβ€”" The sound of the majestic war drums echoed through the valley with a wordless exhaustion.

"Kill-" The five hundred Wu troops, who had just finished gathering, rushed to the hillside again. Although they mustered up the courage to run with all their might, they could not climb more than thirty steps before their pace slowed down. After days of fighting, they couldn't eat enough, they couldn't sleep well, they were so tired that if it weren't for the Overseer's guard camp watching from behind, they would have been lying on the ground and never getting up again.

"Shoot!" Zhao Tong raised his hand and released the bowstring, and a feather arrow left the string, hitting a hesitant Wu Jun. Wu Jun's body shook, opened his arms, fell on his back, and rolled down the hillside. The soldiers of the Wu army behind avoided one after another, but they were too tired, not only were their hands and feet slow to react, but even their brains didn't seem to have time to react.

The barbarians who occupied the geographical advantage hahadaxiao shot a rain of arrows, and the Wu army was even more embarrassed, holding shields, looking for hiding places everywhere, where could they still take care of attacking. Heisha was even more proud, he was wearing heavy armor, holding a long knife, standing majestically on a big rock, like a god, looking cold as a straight pout.

Because of its strong combat effectiveness, the black sand with heavy armor and body protection has now won the respect of the barbarians, and it has a faint taste of the next barbarian king. This made Hanru and others envious. In private, Han Ru complained a lot about his father. When Wei Ba entered Wuxi, the first contact was their Youxi tribe, but unfortunately Daddy Shuai Zeng was too timid and refused to cooperate with Wei Ba, which allowed the Chenxi tribe in Heisha to take the lead. If this heavy armor were to give him Hanru, he would not be worse than Heisha, maybe the next barbarian king would be him.

Occupying favorable terrain, having enough food, commanding Zhao Tong, and having brave generals like Heisha to lead, the barbarians fought easily. Buqi stormed for two days at any cost, but still failed to break the blockade, but lost thousands of people. The losses were so great, on the one hand, that the situation was unfavorable, and on the other hand, the soldiers of the Wu army were so hungry that one liter of rice a day was not enough to eat, and a few bubbles of urine were gone. How to fight without physical strength?

It's not that Bu Qi doesn't know this, but he can't help it. It's been almost half a month since Jia Tong broke through, and there is no news at all. He immediately ran out of food, and could not supply even a liter a day. If he didn't break through Zhao Tong's interception and rush out of Xiushan, not only would more than 1,000 people die here, but the remaining more than 3,000 remnants of the army would also be wiped out, and even he, the main general, would not be able to escape death.

Bu Qi can only fight with his life, and he has no hope for reinforcements. Although he didn't know that Wei Jing Weishenme hadn't come to pick him up yet, he knew very well that Wei Jing hadn't come yet, and nine times out of ten something had happened and he couldn't come.

Without reinforcements, he had to rely on himself and fight his way out before he ran out of food.

"Attack! Attack! Bu Qi's eyes were bloodshot, his voice was hoarse, he walked to the front of the battle with his sword, and slashed a soldier who had just escaped. Then he raised his bloody war knife and roared: "Retreat from the latter, there is no mercy for killing!" ”

The soldiers of the Wu army were silent, so they had to turn around and rush to the mountain again.

"Beat the drums, fight again!" Bu Qi turned to look at the drummer, his two red eyes widened, as if he wanted to choose someone to eat. As soon as his words fell, a war drum suddenly sounded, and Bu Qi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly raised his hand and motioned to the drummers to wait for a while.

The drummers stopped inexplicably, but Bu Qi felt that the sound of war drums was still echoing in his ears, he listened attentively for a moment, then turned around and asked the guards beside him: "Did you hear the sound of war drums?" ”

The guards are confused, all the drummers are on standby, where is the sound of war drums? "General, you mean...... The war drums of the barbarians, right? ”

"No, it's not the war drums of the barbarians, it's our war drums?" Bu Qi insisted.

The eyes of the guards showed a look of panic, could it be that Buqi was hallucinating? It will be the courage of an army, and the reason why the army has not collapsed until now is because the infantry can still be controlled. If he's crazy, it's all over.

"It's the drums of our war." Bu Qi slowly turned his head to the valley to the east, and a sudden wave of ecstasy came over him, drowning him. Ignoring the danger, he rushed up the hillside and looked into the distance. After a moment, he raised his arms and roared loudly: "Reinforcements, reinforcements are comingβ€”" (to be continued......)
