Chapter 1068: Encirclement and Reinforcement
Behind the defense line of the Datun Mountains is Yizhou City.
The battle was not far away, but Yizhou City in the mountains seemed very calm. The people work at sunrise, and they do not rest at sunset. Under the whipping of tens of thousands of Eastern Wu soldiers, he was almost already a slave, creating zΓ o surplus value for the Great Wu Emperor.
On this day, there was a roar from the small palace in the simple attic of the city.
"What! The eastern peak position of Seven Star Mountain is lost! Sun Quan's blue eyes widened, his purple hair trembled in his chest, and he got up from the dragon chair in a rage and scolded: "A group of idiots, idiots! He suddenly raised the desk in front of him and smashed it on the body of the messenger under the dragon stage.
"Wow!" The little colonel didn't dare to dodge, and was smashed on the head and bled and fell in a pool of blood. He was very aggrieved when he was pulled out, he was just a responsible errand runner, not a positional soldier, and the defeat had nothing to do with him.
Among the mountain defense lines, Qixing Mountain was the most important, and the Qin army captured half of it as soon as it came up. The ministers of Eastern Wu looked at each other, and their hearts were cold, and they all couldn't hide their frightened appearances.
The elegant metropolitan governor Zhou Yu was more calm, and said: "The emperor, please calm your anger, Qin Zijin is cunning, Cheng Pu and others are falling for his plan." Fortunately, the old general Huang Gai held the main peak of Qixing Mountain, as long as he could hold on, there would be no loopholes in the entire defense line. β
Lu Xun cocked his head and thought to himself, the governor of Pontus had long known that Huang Gai and the others would fall for the scheme, a group of idiots.
Sun Quan was still angry, "I trust them so much, and they repay me like this!" β
Zhou Yu said good things for Huang Gai and the others, and said: "The emperor is angry, although our army has more troops. But there are also many places that need to be garrisoned, and Qin Zijin has concentrated superior forces ....... β
"Why don't you take the initiative?" At this time. Zhang Zhao, the prime minister of Eastern Wu, came out with a board and said.
Now. As long as the young Lu Xun saw these old guys, his heart was not smooth, especially Zhang Xiu's father, he suddenly sneered, and said: "Our army is mostly recruited from the people, and Qin Zijin is the best at disintegrating people's hearts, these recruits can be used for garrison warfare, if it is a field battle, you need to guard against the ...... of rebellion." β
Zhang Zhao rolled his eyes and retreated. The heart said that this is all your military's business. If you can't win, this prime minister will ...... The prime minister surrendered.
Emperor Sun Quan of Great Wu was so anxious that if he lost Yizhou City, he would have nothing. At this moment, the anger passed, and his heart was full of panic, and he asked in surprise: "How is this good?" β
When the elegant governor heard this, he immediately became a melancholy little prince.
Sun Quan didn't get an answer for a long time, and asked anxiously, "Deputy Governor." How good is that? β
Lu Xun is handsome, although the battle situation is unfavorable, his heart is still the same as his age. Energetic and unrestrained. He thought to himself that in the end, it was not up to the governor of Pontus, so he went out and played: "Your Majesty." Burn one's ship! β
"How do you break the boat?" Sun Quan couldn't help but shake his purple hair and stood up.
Lu Xun's young face was glowing with a rock-solid look. Said: "Your Majesty, now Qin Zijin has made it clear that he will attack Qixing Mountain. Let's concentrate our superior forces on Qixing Mountain. β
"What about the other hilltop positions?" Sun Quan asked worriedly.
Lu Xun smiled, "Qin Zijin knew that his troops were insufficient, so he didn't scatter to attack the mountains. Instead, they concentrated their superior forces to attack Qixing Mountain with all their might. We only need to leave a few hundred soldiers and horses in each mountain, and if Qin Zi attacks the mountains, it will inevitably consume his vital strength. Even if he occupies all the mountains except Qixing Mountain, let's just draw a scoop according to the gourd, concentrate the superior forces and take it back. Anyway, if Qixing Mountain is not lost, Qin Zijin will not be able to attack Yizhou City with all his strength. Yizhou City is safe and sound, and everything is easy to do. β
"Makes sense!" Sun Quan touched the purple hair and nodded, sat back on the dragon chair gently, and looked at Zhou Yu, "What does the Metropolitan Governor think?" β
Zhou Yu arched his hand and replied: "It is indeed a good way. β
So, Sun Quan issued an edict ordering Cheng Pu, Han Dang, LΓΌ Meng, and Ding Feng to lead most of the men and horses to Qixing Mountain to reinforce Huang Gai. Gather the strength of the five generals, no matter what, you must also defend the main peak of Qixing Mountain.
On the other hand.
Emperor Qin Feng of Hongwu was very happy after obtaining the position of the eastern peak of Qixing Mountain and the hilly position below it in one fell swoop, and he highly praised Pang Tong's strategy of attacking the east and the west. Since this east peak was not much shorter than the main peak, Qin Feng moved his camp here.
Qin Feng's imperial camp was on the east peak, and the large army camp was on the hilly position, forming two lines of defense.
After capturing the East Peak, he had planned to take the main peak guarded by Huang Gai in one go, but the situation was much more difficult than he imagined.
There is a hilly position as a pedal in the middle of the east peak, and the main peak is more and more steep the upward, and there is no place for foothold in the middle, so it can only go up in one go. And the sassal trees and rolling stones rolling down from the top of the mountain are also going down in one go. It's just that these sassal wood and rolling stones are enough for Qin Jun to drink a pot.
And Soochow didn't just have a position on Qixing Mountain here, the Qin army also had to guard against the enemy on the rest of the hills.
"How's that good?" In the imperial tent, Qin Feng couldn't help but ask.
Jia Xu and Pang Tong glanced at each other, they could clearly see the mountain situation of the main peak on this east peak, which could be described as a dangerous peak. "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that before the enemy's reserves of sassalwood and rolling stones are consumed, we will not be able to attack the mountain." Jia Xu said honestly.
Qin Feng frowned, and said in his heart how many people would have to die before it could be exhausted?
At this moment, Zhang Ping, the chief of the guard, walked in and said, "Your Majesty, there are scouts who have come to report that the four generals of Eastern Wu are assembling the troops to ...... Qixing Mountain." β
Jia Xu and Pang Tong quickly saw Dongwu's intentions, and couldn't hide their anxiety and said in unison: "The big thing is not good, the enemy wants to confront our army in Qixing Mountain!" β
At present, although Qin Feng has occupied the position of the eastern peak of Qixing Mountain, Sun Quan still has 60,000 horses in the positions on the mountaintops. If they all came to Qixing Mountain, then his military advantage would be gone.
"Since Sun Quan's main force is here, he may be able to attack other positions......." Qin Feng said.
Pang Tongyi's liver trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, in addition to this Seven Star Mountain, let alone take down seven or eight mountains before you can enter the city of Yizhou." Defending seven or eight hills, our troops are not ....... β
Qin Feng slapped his forehead, suddenly realized, and sighed: "How is this good?" β
Jia Xu still advocated the previous one, retreated to the village, and sent a general to preside over the construction of the city in Yizhou, and the mainland as a backup, singing against Yizhou City. Sun Quan did not have much war potential, and he could be wiped out in less than three or five years.
However, Qin Feng desperately wanted to take back the treasure island, and he definitely couldn't split it more than a thousand years ago, not even three or five years, he thought about it.
Jia Xu and Pang Tong only thought that Qin Feng was thinking about Jia Xu's suggestion, but after a while, Qin Feng's expression became solemn and said, "Maybe you can surround the point and send reinforcements." β
"Reinforcements?" Jia Xu and Pang Tong's hearts moved, they had more or less literally comprehended something, but they were not thorough. Pang Tong said: "Your Majesty, how to surround the point and send reinforcements?" β
Qin Feng also walked down the dragon platform, came to the sand table, and pointed out: "There is a depression between the mountains at the southeast foothills, Cheng Pu came from Datun Mountain, and he must go here." Let's set up an ambush here and surround Cheng Pu's soldiers and horses. This person is a general of Eastern Wu, because Huang Gai and others are brothers. When he is surrounded, Huang Gai and others will definitely come to the rescue. We don't fight against Cheng Puwei, only Huang Gai and other reinforcements. In this way, the opponent can be moved away from the hilltop position that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. β
Jia Xu touched his beard, his eyes flashed, and he arched his hand and said: "The emperor's plan to encircle the point to help is comparable to encircling Wei to save Zhao!" β
Pang Tong also fully understood Qin Feng's intentions, "This plan perfectly interprets the sage's "Qizheng Change", and the enemy doesn't know whether our army wants to encircle and annihilate Cheng Pu or send reinforcements. The emperor's "encirclement and reinforcement" really grasped the trick of "Qizheng Change", and the enemy must have been tricked. High! It's really high! β
Qin Feng laughed, and said in his heart that this is the exquisite tactics of our army in the future, and it has been tried and tested repeatedly, of course it is high. As a result, Emperor Hongwu sent generals Wei Yan, Gan Ning, and Tai Shici to set up an ambush. He also sent generals Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, and Pang De to help.
A day later.
The main peak of Qixing Mountain, Dongwu Dazhai, is full of rolling stones and sassal trees like hills. The mountain was already bare, and all the trees that could be cut down had been cut down, and all the stones that could be smashed had been smashed. In the big tent of the Chinese army, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Lu Meng, and Ding Feng are all there.
Huang Gai was worried, walked around, and looked out of the tent from time to time, "What's the matter, it stands to reason that I should have arrived last night, and I haven't come to ...... yet." β
Lu Meng came out and said, "The old general doesn't need to be anxious, or the emperor has other arrangements, I think there will be news soon......." β
"Report ......."
Sure enough, a junior colonel came in a panic and reported: "General Qiyu, General Cheng Lao has been surrounded by "duck pond"! β
"What!" Huang Gai and the others were taken aback, but they didn't expect to wait and wait, and wait for the news that Cheng Pu was besieged. Huang Gai's gray and white beard swayed, and his face was full of worry, and said: "Demou is besieged, you can't help it, who is willing to save it with a certain leader?" β
Lu Meng deserved to be the third generation of governors, so he felt that there was something suspicious in it, and said: "The main peak of Qixing Mountain is the top priority, and the old general must not be moved lightly, and this matter will be discussed in the long run." β
Huang Gai was furious when he heard this, Cheng Pu and him have been friends for decades, and they are like brothers, and immediately reprimanded: "Cheng Demou, the veteran of the three dynasties, has made great contributions to Eastern Wu, and he is surrounded at this time, how can he not save him?" β
The third generation of Governor Lu Meng did not say to save or not, he just explained the importance of the main peak of Qixing Mountain. And constantly persuaded Huang Gai to focus on the position of Qixing Mountain. And Ding Feng was on his side.
But Han Dang, who has been in the three generations of Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Sun Quan, has the same idea as Huang Gai.
When the two sides were in dispute, Huang Gai asked Lu Meng and Ding Feng to guard the village, and he and Han Dang led 20,000 soldiers and horses to rescue him. (To be continued......)
