Chapter 475: Zhang Liao's Determination

"The Jiangdong Army is coming!"

The defenders of Hefei were shocked by the thousands of ships on the water, and Sun Jian, known as the Tiger of Jiangdong, personally led an army of 100,000 to attack Hefei!

Many strangers living in Hefei wanted to leave this dangerous city before the war, but the whole city was already under martial law, and Zhang Liao set up garrisons at each city gate, and they were not allowed to enter or leave.

The Inhumans are terrified.

If it was Sun Quan who attacked Hefei, it would be fine, but it was Sun Jian who attacked Hefei this time!

The military capabilities of Sun Jian and Sun Quan are very different, and Hefei is in danger of falling.

Zhang Liao, Lu Su, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan urgently landed in the city to observe Sun Jian's military situation.

Zang Ba counted the number of ships brought by Sun Jian, and then deduced the number of soldiers and horses of Sun Jian: "It is worthy of the Jiangdong Tiger, and it can gather 100,000 soldiers and horses at a time to attack Hefei." ”

Zhang Liao and Lu Su's expressions were solemn, Sun Jian came this time, not only the soldiers and horses of Sun Jian's headquarters, because according to intelligence, Sun Jian's soldiers and horses were less than 100,000. There is obviously the support of Yangzhou Bronze Sparrow behind it.

Sun Jian's 100,000-strong army disembarked and set up camp, with the bravest soldiers as the vanguard, arraying along the water, with ships as their cover.

If the defenders of Hefei go out of the city to fight, they will be baptized by the rain of arrows from the ships along the coast.

Under Sun Jian's caution, the various legions successfully went ashore and assembled.

"Sun Jian is a famous general who fought in all directions during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and his ability is close to that of top famous generals, which should not be underestimated." Lu Su followed Chu Tian and experienced many battles, he observed Sun Jian's military situation and found that Sun Jian's camp was probably divided into four parts, "The soldiers and horses of Sun Jian's headquarters advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and they were orderly when they set up camp, but the other three soldiers and horses were a mess in comparison." ”

Zhang Liao nodded, he also saw the weakness of Sun Jian's army.

Although Sun Jian had an army of 100,000, there were three soldiers and horses, which were not Sun Jian's headquarters, and their combat strength was uneven.

Zhang Liao observed for a long time, and said to Lu Su, Zang Ba, Sun Guan and other generals: "Early tomorrow morning, I will lead two thousand wolf cavalry to assault one of the battalions, causing chaos in Sun Jian's army and hindering the progress of its siege. ”

Lu Su, who was more conservative in tactics, heard what Zhang Liao said, and he actually wanted to lead 2,000 cavalry to attack the 100,000 army outside the city, and couldn't help but be shocked: "General Zhang must not take risks." Outside the city is an army of 100,000, and the main general is Sun Jian, who is not an easy figure to deal with. Even if the wolf rides in the state, it can't defeat fifty with one! ”

Zang Ba and Sun Guan also persuaded Zhang Liao almost at the same time: "General Zhang, don't take risks, Sun Jian is the tiger of Jiangdong, even Dong Zhuo is afraid of him, even with General Zhang's martial arts, you may not be able to win." ”

"That's why I'm going to raid that camp." Zhang Liao pointed to the camp that did not belong to Sun Jian's headquarters where the soldiers and horses were stationed, "The other three soldiers and horses, compared with Sun Jian's headquarters soldiers and horses, are like clouds and mud. Attack them, and you will surely win a great victory. ”

"Even if it ......"

Lu Su hesitated.

At this time, as a military advisor who was inclined to the conservatives, Lu Su received an order to hold on to Hefei and not let the enemy in Jiangdong cross the Lei Chi step.

Zhang Liao's tactics, if he can win, is good, if he fails, not only will Zhang Liao's fierce general be damaged, but Sun Jian may take advantage of the big victory, morale is high, and he will storm Hefei.

The main commander of the other side is Sun Jian, and Lu Su's vision is to fight a protracted war with him.

"Offense is the best defense. When the wolf rode in the defense of the city, its role was only slightly better than that of the county soldiers. Therefore, I only took 2,000 wolves out of the city to raid, and even if the whole army was destroyed, there would still be more than 30,000 troops to defend the city. ”

"Now that the enemy's foothold is not stable, send troops to bend its momentum, in order to calm the hearts of the people, and then it can be defended. The chance of success or failure, in this battle, what doubts do you have? ”

Zhang Liao was appointed by Chutian as the chief general of Hefei, and the young Lu Su was only a military advisor, so Zhang Liao had the final decision.

If Zhang Liao finally decided to go out of the city and attack the opponent's camp, then Lu Su would not be able to object.

"I support General Zhang's approach." Xueyue, who had been silent, chose to stand on Zhang Liao's side, "According to the information I have obtained, Sun Jian's army includes the remnants of Yuan Shu and Lujiang Haoqiang, and their military discipline is broken, as long as General Zhang assaults, the other party will definitely be defeated." Otherwise, once Sun Jian besieged the city, it would be difficult to attack it out of the city. ”

Xueyue knew how terrible Zhang Liao was in Xiaoyaojin.

Chutian sent Zhang Liao to guard Hefei, not necessarily to let Zhang Liao, Lu Su and others defend it. As Zhang Liao said, offense is also a way of defense.

So Xueyue chose to support Zhang Liao.

Her position is very important, because when it comes to seniority, Xueyue's seniority is older than everyone present.

Lu Su had never seen the practice of attacking the opponent's 100,000 army with 2,000 cavalry, but seeing that the main general Zhang Liao was resolute, he had to agree.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan glanced at each other, encouraged by Zhang Liao, they were also enthusiastic, and said to Zhang Liao: "The two of us are willing to follow General Zhang out of the city to raid each other's camp!" ”

Zhang Liao said: "Okay! General Sun Guan and I were the vanguard, General Zang Ba and the military division guarded the city, and met at the city gate! ”

Zang Ba and Sun Guan are also people who dare to play with their lives, and they all agreed.

"What a bunch of damn guys......"

Lu Su said this, but he sincerely admired the courage of the three generals.

Although there are 100,000 enemies, I will go!

After deciding to attack the opponent's camp the next day when the sky was white and the enemy's defenses were at their weakest, Zhang Liao gathered 2,000 wolf horsemen from Bingzhou who followed him to Yuzhou to reward the army.

The wolf cavalry of Bingzhou knew that before the expedition, the main general rewarded the whole army, ate and drank enough, and there would often be a big battle the next day, and it might even be a death battle, nine deaths.

Staying in the city, changing into the clothes of Xiang Yong, and inquiring about information in the city, he noticed that the wolf rode in the city and ate meat, and seemed to realize something.

"This news must be brought out of the city as soon as possible!"

Shi Qian wants to bring this news out of the city, but the city has been blocked, and Xueyue has sent many scouts to ambush near the city walls.

Xueyue has been in charge of intelligence work for a long time and has been handy.

Even if enemy scouts are mixed in with the city, it is not so easy to take them out of the city.

If it weren't for the effect of the characteristics of Time Migration, it may be that Time Migration would have already recognized the identity of the scout.

"The other party gathered cavalry, I'm afraid it wasn't to rob the camp at night! This news can't be taken out, big brother, they may be in danger! ”

Although Shi Qian is a thief, in troubled times, there is still basic common sense.

Zhang Liao gathered and rode wolf horses to reward the whole army, obviously to rob the camp.

The time shift judged that it was a night attack, but there were some deviations - Zhang Liao chose to launch the attack at the time when the night was at dawn.

I can't get out of the city, and I'm anxious.

Outside the city, Song Jiang led thousands of soldiers and horses and set up a camp.

Sun Jian didn't seem to appreciate Song Jiang's military advisor Wu Yong very much, so Wu Yong still followed Song Jiang's side.

"Dong Ping and Hua Rong, the two traitors, after they were asked to leave by Sun Jian, they won't come to see the eldest brother for a few days now."

Li Kui carried two axes and complained to Song Jiang.

"Now I am Sun Jian's subordinate, and I have been named a captain, at the same level as Dong Ping and Hua Rong, it is normal that they do not come to see me."

After Song Jiang was recruited, because Sun Jian took a fancy to Dong Ping, one of the "Five Tiger Generals of Liangshan", and Hua Rong, who was known as Xiao Li Guang, in order to weaken Song Jiang's influence on Dong Ping and Hua Rong, Sun Jian worshipped Dong Ping and Hua Rong as captains and sat on an equal footing with Song Jiang.

Sun Jian's operation caused a gap between the people in Liangshan.

Wu Yong looked in his eyes and remained silent for the time being.

Li Kui was still dissatisfied: "I see that they are getting benefits, so I completely forget the kindness you have to them, big brother." ”

Wu Yong ignored Li Kui and said to Song Jiang: "Sun Jian may let our Liangshan army go to Hefei first, and we will make a show, otherwise we will lose at least half of it tomorrow." The city of Hefei is strong, how can we have a few thousand people to conquer it? ”

Song Jiang listened to what Wu Yong said, and said in a deep voice: "What the military advisor said is extremely true. Sun Jian treated me too harshly. ”

Just as Wu Yong and Song Jiang mentioned that Sun Jian had divided the Liangshan army, Sun Jian sent people to tell Song Jiang that the Liangshan army only needed to dig tunnels and transport grain and grass.

Song Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Sun Jian is not mean and did not treat them as cannon fodder for siege.

Or, Sun Jian did not trust the combat power of the Liangshan army, so he had to attack the city himself.

In the vicinity of the Liangshan Army, there are also the remnants of Yuan Shu and Lujiang Haoqiang.

The generals of the remnants of Yuan Shu were Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, and Lei Bo.

After Yuan Shu was defeated by Chutian and then defeated by Tang, these generals led the remnants south to the Lujiang River, entrenched in the mountains and forests of Runan and Lujiang, and later Sun Jian came to Jiangdong and came forward to subdue them.

Like Song Jiang, the Chutian forces can be said to be their old opponents of Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, and Lei Bo.

Lei Shu couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the battle of Pengcheng, where Chu Tian led the cavalry to launch a blitzkrieg, quickly destroying Yuan Shu's camp and killing Yuan Shu's general Chen Lan.

Now, he has to face the Chutian forces again.

Although the Great Demon King Chutian was attacking Hebei at this time, leaving only a small number of generals to guard Hefei, Lei Bo was still afraid.

"Chu Zimou is not here, Yang Wudi is not there, why be afraid?"

Ji Ling held a three-pointed two-edged knife, majestic.

Although he followed Yuan Shu to fight with Chu Tian, he had never directly fought against Chu Tian's generals, so Ji Ling had a little confidence in his own force.

"General Ji Ling, when we were in Peiguo, Yang Wuving's thousands of cavalry turned us around, and even the lord was attacked by him many times and almost died, you don't know about it."

"Yang Invincible is not to be afraid, if I was by the lord's side at that time, the three-pointed and two-edged knife would definitely cut him under the horse!"

Ji Ling waved the heavy three-pointed two-edged knife, and there was a faint sound of breaking the air.

Compared with Ji Ling's full of confidence, Zhang Xun and Lei Bo have become frightened birds, cups and snakes.

Sun Jian summoned his generals, among which the double-gun generals Dong Ping and Xiao Li Guanghuarong were left behind by Sun Jian. Dong Ping and Hua Rong couldn't help but be touched when they saw that Sun Jian was reusing himself and did not dislike their identity as water bandits.

I have to admit that Sun Jian, as the representative of the Eastern Wu forces, has a unique personality charm.

Sun Jian looked down on Song Jiang and about ten other generals, but he took a fancy to Dong Ping and Hua Rong at a glance, thinking that they were manufacturable materials.

"Father, tomorrow I will personally lead the lead and take the lead to seize the city!"

The young Sun Ce volunteered and planned to make his first contribution.

Dong Ping and Hua Rong were moved, Sun Ce was only 16 years old, and he was not afraid of tigers when he was a newborn calf, and dared to take the initiative to attack the strong Hefei City.

This son will become a great thing.

Sun Jian cast an approving look, but rejected Sun Ce's invitation to fight: "Your strength is not at its peak, this battle is not trivial." Although the city is only a group of county soldiers, the second-line troops of Chu Zimou, with the strong defense of the city, it is not something you can capture. I personally commanded this battle. ”

"Father!"

"This is a military order! The military order is like a mountain! ”

"Yes!"

Sun Ce was reprimanded by Sun Jian and remembered it.

Military orders are like mountains, and at any time, they must be absolutely obeyed!

Sun Jiajun's strictness shocked Dong Ping and Hua Ronghu.

The Sun family army was different from the loose Liangshan army, this was a subordinate army that could be used to fight the world.

If it weren't for Sun Jian's joint suppression by Yang Shilang and Liu Biao in Jingnan, Sun Jian might have become the lord of Jingzhou at this moment.

"I have achieved a lot of bowing skills under it, and I am willing to lead a team of archers to help the general tomorrow!"

Hua Rong was infected by Sun Jian's style of governing the army and took the initiative to ask for help.

Liu Bei gathered talents with benevolence and righteousness, Cao Cao gathered people's hearts with the Son of Han Heaven, and Sun Jian and his generals lived and died together. Even if Sun Jian was killed in battle, his subordinates would still remember the friendship between life and death, support his son, and revitalize the army.

Dong Ping also had some intentions: "You can command a horse army in the next place." ”

Sun Jian saw that the two had been somewhat integrated into his own army, so he gave each of them a professional soldier and horse, which was not the same as the Liangshan army.

Sun Jian also asked people to prepare siege equipment, preparing to take advantage of Chutian's campaign in Hebei to quickly attack Hefei and approach Shouchun.

Once Shouchun is captured, then the gateway of the entire Xuzhou will be opened to the Jiangdong Army.

Xuzhou is currently the richest state in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Chutian placed a large number of special buildings with bonuses in Xuzhou, making this place a treasure of feng shui, and the grain production is also extremely amazing.

It can be said that the current Xuzhou is far away from the war and is a treasure trove.

The Jiangdong Army invaded Xuzhou, and the blow to Chutian's forces was fatal.

In all dynasties, guarding Xuzhou and guarding Huainan will be guarded. If Huainan is lost, it will be green and dangerous.

The premise is that the Jiangdong Army can capture Huainan.

In the city of Hefei, Zhang Liao and the two thousand wolf riders ate enough to eat and drink, closed their eyes and recuperated until the next day when the sky was slightly white, and Zhang Liao opened his eyes.

The two thousand wolf riders also woke up, and they knew that it was time to fight to the death.

Sun Guan, who decided to go on the expedition at the same time as Zhang Liao, limped onto the war horse, his eyes red: "Since I was injured, I can only move unhindered by sitting on the horse. ”

Zhang Liao was touched and patted Sun Guan's shoulder wordlessly.

Sun Guan, although he was only a small person in Chutian's forces, his courage was no less than that of any general.

Zang Ba led three thousand county soldiers to meet at the gate of the city, and hugged his fists to the two: "Zang Xuan is higher than the gate of the city and waits for the return of the two generals!" ”

"Gentlemen, enemies, please fight to the death!"

Zhang Liao led two thousand wolves to ride out of the city gate of Hefei, and went straight to the enemy camp!
