In the early morning of the next day, Lu Xun led this naval army, which was mainly composed of medium-sized warships and small warships, to go south at full speed!

Sure enough, it did not surprise Wang Xu, after the whole army left Pengze Lake at a very fast speed, it first entered Poshui, a tributary of the Yangtze River, and then turned into Ganshui, went down the river, and marched to Luling.

On the first day of October, 30,000 sailors marched to Xichang County, Luling County, and Lu Xun finally ordered to stop advancing.

At this time, the Wu army in Luling County had a total of three, Taishou He Qi's troops, Lu Su and Zhu Huan retreated from Jiaozhou, and Jiang Qin and Sun Ben galloped from Yuzhang to aid Luling's 30,000 main forces. These three troops totaled more than 50,000 people, and now almost all of them are attacking Zhao Yun in Xinxing County, and Xichang only has 3 or 4,000 defenders, who are responsible for guarding this grain and grass hoarding place.

As early as when the navy army entered the river in Luling in the south, Lu Su, Jiang Qin and others received a quick report, so their reaction was quite fast, and Jiang Qin personally led 15,000 elites to withdraw from Xinxing to Xichang and put them on strict guard.

This situation is completely expected, because the naval army is moving south along the river, no matter how concealed, after all, the target is very large, and sooner or later it will be discovered, so Lu Xun has no chance of sneak attack, and let the full-time naval army attack the city head-on, unless Lu Xun's head is broken.

The melee weapons equipped with the full-time navy are all light and short, and if they are in a siege battle, they are not much different from rushing up naked, and they will be sent to death.

At this time, it seems that it is extremely unfavorable to the 30,000 sailors who are heading south. It's just that Lu Xun always has a faint smile on his face, and he seems to be in control of everything.

In the early morning of the second day, Lu Xun ordered the whole army to dock and set up camp tents on the high ground not far from the river bank with great fanfare. It's a complete picture of a decisive battle.

It's not just that Wang Xu can't understand it. Jiang Qin, who was stationed in Xichang City, also couldn't understand it. But he didn't dare to attack, because his own troops were insufficient, and the Chu navy had its back to the warships, which could advance or retreat, occupying the initiative. If it is an attack, not only will it not work, but there is a danger of being ambushed.

In fact, he was wise, because Lu Xun did secretly set up ambushes along the way. After waiting for a whole day to no avail, I withdrew.

When Jiang Qin got the news, he immediately became more cautious, and made up his mind to stick to the city, if the Chu naval army did not enter the open land, he would not send troops, and the enemy would not move and I would not move, so as to keep the same and respond to all changes, so that this naval army would retreat on its own after the food was exhausted.

The situation is getting more and more serious. If Lu Xun went to great lengths to go south, he only achieved such a result. That's definitely responsible.

The two days passed in a flash, and the worries in the hearts of the officers and men of the navy became heavier and heavier.

When the second night came, Wang Xu still inspected the camp as usual, and then returned to the ship. For his safety, Lu Xun has always let him stay on the ship for the night, so as to ensure that no matter what unexpected situation he encounters, he can evacuate in time.

He had just stepped onto the deck, and before he had entered the cabin, Jia Hua's shout came to his ears.

"My lord! General Lu has been looking for you for a long time! ”

"Oh? What's the matter? Wang Xu stopped.

"I don't know, but I seem to be in a hurry!"

"Where is he at the moment?"

"On the flagship in the east, General Zhou Zhi and Xiang Tian are also there."

"Okay, then I'll go with you."

Because Wang Xu sometimes likes to be alone, this is why he has such a scene of searching. When the two hurried to the flagship, they found that Zhang Yun was also there, and it can be said that the high-level officials were here!

"Lord!" The crowd quickly stood up and saluted.

"That's it, there's no need to be polite." Wang Xu waved his hand, and then turned his gaze to Lu Xun: "Bo Yan, I don't know what to call everyone here?" ”

"Lord, the time has come!" Lu Xun said with a little excitement.

"Timing? What timing? Wang Xu was confused.

"There is no fog on the river tonight, and you can barely sail in the dark, which is a great opportunity to destroy the Wu army!" Lu Xun replied.

When Wang Xu heard this, although he couldn't understand what it meant, he glanced at Lu Xun, who was full of confidence, and still didn't delay much time, and said with a smile: "Okay, then you can give the order!" ”

Until this time, Lu Xun finally slowly said his deployment, and everyone's faces became more and more surprised with his words......

Soon, the operation was deployed, and everyone went about their own business.

Lu Xun, as the commander, was the first to set off, taking his 4,000 elites carefully selected for many days, under the cover of a large number of soldiers and warships on the shore, secretly set sail in a small boat, and went south along the Ganshui River, without lighting lamps or torches along the way, only exploring the way with a very small fast boat, escorting the army to advance in the dark, although some fast boats collided with each other along the way, but the losses were insignificant.

Xichang is more than 100 miles away from Xinxing, and the waterway is much straighter, and the distance is even shorter, and the warships of the Chu State are powered by water wheels, so it does not take too long.

At four o'clock in the morning, 4,000 soldiers landed in the shallows in the eastern part of Xinxing County.

Lu Xun then drew his sword and promised a heavy reward in public, which was used to stimulate the soldiers of the navy who had killed blood in the battle of Pengze and tasted the sweetness of victory, which boosted their morale. Then he personally took the lead, marched on foot, and rushed to attack the camp of the Wu army overnight.

Due to the dry weather in the past month, it has not rained for a long time, and when he approached the enemy camp, he immediately let the navy light the flint and attack with rockets, taking the lead in igniting the grass and trees near the enemy camp, causing thick smoke to billow, completely blocking the enemy's vision at night.

The fire rose into the sky in a very short period of time and spread rapidly, although it did not really reach the Wu army's camp, but it caused it to fall into a panic.

Subsequently, Lu Xun divided 500 people into three small groups of soldiers and horses, each in one direction, so that they did not attack, just waved their flags and shouted, shouting the slogan "The king of Chu led 50,000 troops to kill, Xichang has been breached", and it was necessary to create the illusion that there were Chu troops in all directions and strong troops in night attacks.

As for Lu Xun himself, he led 3,500 elite soldiers to take advantage of the panic of the Wu army and launched a surprise attack on the weak point of his rear battalion.

The sudden outbreak of firelight and shouts of killing in the middle of the night was earth-shattering, and no one would have known that there were only 3,000 people, and it was a relatively weak naval army in foot combat. Coupled with the rapidly spreading fire and smoke, the Wu army had no way to figure out the enemy's situation at all, and fell into a panic in an all-round way.

Zhao Yun in Xinxing City heard the call outside the city, and then saw the chaos in the Wu army's camp, and really thought that it was really Wang Xu who led the troops to kill, out of instinct, he immediately led the most elite Yanyun iron cavalry to stand out from the east city, and took the lead in the front camp of Wu Guo to fight bravely, and the Wu army was in chaos.

Soon after, all the Chu soldiers in the city also came from the east, west, and north gates one after another, and under the leadership of Deng Xian, Yang Huai, He Yi and other generals, they launched a comprehensive surprise attack on the entire Wu army camp from three directions, and the momentum was like a bamboo.

At this time, the army of Wu was in a mess, covering their heads, only feeling that there were enemy troops in all directions, and they could not make a correct judgment at all, so they did not know which direction to concentrate their forces on, and they could not stop the panic of the soldiers.

In such a situation, how can there be any reason to be invincible?

Before dawn, Zhao Yun and Lu Xun joined forces to defeat the chaotic Wu army, and the two armies did not stop, and then divided into several units and pursued them with all their might!

…………

The main force of the Wu army on the front line was defeated, Lu Su, Zhu Huan, He Qi and other important ministers of Wu were in danger, and the sentinel who was the first to break through the siege and report the news rode non-stop, and finally hurried to Xichang City when the horse was foaming at the mouth and died violently on the spot.

When Jiang Qin got the news, he was immediately shocked, and he couldn't care much anymore, so he hurriedly led 10,000 troops south to rescue.

He is also helpless, Lu Su, Zhu Huan and He Qi and others are all important ministers of Wu State, and they can't help it, although after he leads the troops to help, Gaochang City will become empty, but after all, there are more than 10,000 people, if he sticks to the city, in his mind, it is impossible to be broken by the Chu State Navy in a short time. In addition, the news he got was wrong, thinking that the main force of the Chu State Navy had already secretly moved south, and now they were all chasing Lu Su and others, so he was completely wrongly judged.

Jiang Qin led the army in a hurry, and led his troops into Changshan Road before noon, which can not be described as unpleasant. This Changshan Road is the only place for Xichang to Xinxing, and only after passing through here can he meet the fleeing Lu Su and others.

At this moment, he was anxious, his heart was full of the safety of Lu Su and others, worried about the situation in Luling, and he had no time to think about it. As the 10,000 troops all entered Changshan Road, his heart also relaxed a little, because from the perspective of time, it would not be long before he could receive Lu Su and the others.

Suddenly, there was a high-pitched roar from among the mountain roads.

"Shoot at the front, diffuse at the middle, throw at the top, hit!"

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! The sound of the mighty wind breaking sounded, and Jiang Qin had not yet woken up from his stunned state, and the rows of arrows had already fallen on his head. In the blink of an eye, I saw that on both sides of the originally quiet mountain road, in the blink of an eye, there were already crowds surging, and I don't know how many Chu troops were ambushed.

"Jiang Qin, don't surrender yet, when will you wait!"

Zhang Yun stood tall on the top of the mountain on the left, questioning sharply, further damaging the morale of the Wu army, and the huge Chu army flag was also propped up behind him, dancing in the wind.

It turned out that Lu Xun had long speculated that if his attack on the camp was successful, Jiang Qin would send troops to rescue. Therefore, he had already ordered Zhang Yun to order him to secretly leave the camp with 5,000 sailors after he left last night, hurry along the path, and arrive at Changshan Road before dawn to set up an ambush.

Now, as Lu Xun expected, everything is a foregone conclusion!

Jiang Qin's troops were unprepared, and quickly fell in rows in the powerful lethality of the naval army's bow and crossbow, perhaps the naval army's infantry combat ability is indeed not strong, but that refers to a frontal hard battle, this kind of ambush, it is about the arrow to shoot accurately, the need for surprise and suddenness, and the need for morale, and the naval army is all archers, in the face of live targets all over the ground, how can the morale be low?

The crazy rockets and crossbows did not stop, and from time to time there were large and small rolling stones thrown down from the hillside, and it didn't take long for Jiang Qin's troops to suffer heavy losses and become a mess, he was worried that Xichang was in danger, and he was even more worried that there would be resistance on the road ahead, so he could only quickly order the soldiers to retreat, and the wolf bèi fled.

Seeing that he was fleeing, Zhang Yun did not continue to chase and kill, but continued to stay in Changshan Dao, because this is the order he received, and he has other tasks! (To be continued......)
