Text Chapter 685 Destroy the Eastern Wu Army Again
As soon as he was reminded, Xu Sheng immediately nodded and said: "Yes, Jia Xu is the military advisor of the two legions of the Celestial Empire, and he is definitely a high-ranking person, so he naturally has no small credit for catching him." Whoever comes, immediately order the army to advance and quickly lead to the port of Haixi. ”
Stimulated by Ding Feng, the current Xu Sheng is also eager to make meritorious contributions, and he can't wait to go to Haixi Port now and snatch Jia Xu in his hands.
In a anxious mood, Xu Sheng left with an army of 100,000 first, and Ding Feng was indeed not in a hurry, so he escorted some grain and grass, baggage and gold and slowly walked on the road to Haixi Port. Only Sima Yi took advantage of the fact that no one paid attention to him, and slowly walked behind.
Haixi Port.
The 300 warships that had been parked here were stationed near the shore, and not far away, some soldiers in black armor were fighting with the Soochow soldiers in brick red uniforms. The sound of shouting and killing is endless, and it seems to be very lively.
When Xu Sheng came here with an army of 100,000, he saw exactly this scene.
"Humph! General Ding Feng's 50,000 horses have not taken down only 30,000 soldiers of the Celestial Empire for so long. As soon as he came here, he saw the two sides fighting each other, and immediately Xu Sheng's face showed disdain.
It's just that although he said so, Xu Sheng was still very happy in his heart, and he was really a little afraid that Jia Xuji would be defeated, so in this case, there would be no part of his great work.
"Come on, divide 20,000 soldiers to control the warship, and the others will join me to kill these Celestial Empire soldiers who are still resisting."
After speaking, Xu Sheng rushed forward on horseback with a big sword, followed by 80,000 Wu troops with cavalry and infantry, and they also joined the battle group with a loud roar.
The soldiers of the Celestial Empire, who were originally defeated by Eastern Wu because of the number of people, seemed to have become even more chaotic at the moment when Xu Sheng and they rushed over, and they actually retreated while fighting, all of which was seen in Xu Sheng's eyes, and it made him more morale, and he believed that this battle would end soon with his arrival. Even his gaze began to turn to the right, and he began to look for where Jia Xu was now.
With 130,000 against 30,000, no matter how you look at it, Xu Sheng never imagined that he would lose, and the outcome of this battle was only a matter of time.
But he thought that the outcome of this battle could not change, when he came to the battlefield with a large army, it did suddenly change, first in the army of the Celestial Empire near the sea, rushed out a lot of archers, countless bows and arrows with their appearance to shoot fast, so that many unsuspecting Eastern Wu soldiers were killed by arrows.
Not only that, but the 20,000 Eastern Wu troops who were about to seize the warship were suddenly caught off guard by the Celestial Empire soldiers who suddenly appeared on the ship, and there were countless casualties for a while.
On the frontal battlefield, the lively Eastern Wu soldiers who were fighting with the Celestial Empire army suddenly turned around and launched a melee attack on them, and even some soldiers who had fallen to the ground and died also got up and attacked them everywhere with weapons.
A wave of bows and arrows hit the charging forces of the Eastern Wu army, and then, the sudden counterattack of those "pseudo-Eastern Wu soldiers" caught Xu Sheng and them off guard. Many real Soochow soldiers did not defend their allies at all, but now they were really hit by this counterattack, so that many of the native soldiers died with wide eyes and an expression of disbelief, they really couldn't understand why the friendly army wanted to attack them, what was going on?
Xu Sheng also didn't understand what was going on, just when he was still shouting and scolding, whether these "pseudo-Eastern Wu soldiers" were going to rebel, there were suddenly countless shouts of killing in all directions, and then there were many black-clothed and black-armored soldiers surrounding them, and from a distance, the number of people turned out to be hundreds of thousands, which was several times that of them.
"Oh no, we're in ambush." At this moment, Xu Sheng finally knew the plan, where was the Eastern Wu soldiers and the Celestial Empire soldiers fighting, it was simply the Celestial Empire itself beating himself, acting for himself, but he hated that he didn't know it at all, and now he rushed to the front of him, and it was a little too late to figure out everything.
After the regiment surrounded Xu Sheng's army, a general with a star and moon sword in his hand rushed out of the Celestial Empire army, "I am Gan Ning, the commander of the Celestial Empire Waterway Legion, Xu Shengke, do you dare to fight with me?" ”
"Gan Ning Gan Xingba!" As soon as he heard this name, Xu Sheng was stunned at first.
Gan Ning is the commander of the Celestial Empire's Waterway Legion, and as the Eastern Wu who relied on the danger of the Yangtze River to survive, he has been famous for this person for a long time. I didn't expect to see him here now.
Knowing that Gan Ning appeared here, it is natural to understand why there are so many Celestial Empire soldiers here, presumably this should be the Waterway Legion. In this way, the 50,000 troops sent by Ding Feng before were afraid that they would be wiped out.
"Not good!" I thought of Xu Sheng a lot in an instant, and immediately thought of General Ding Feng who was coming behind him. Even if the Waterway Legion had already set up an ambush here, wouldn't that mean that there must have been an ambush there for Ding Feng? Aren't they in danger?
......
Ding Feng led an army of 100,000 people, escorted hundreds of truckloads of baggage, grain and grass, and dozens of boxes of gold, and proudly marched from Haixi City to Haixi Port, thirty miles away.
Because of the huge harvest, Ding Feng was in a good mood along the way. But this mood disappeared with the sudden appearance of the army of black soldiers in all directions.
"Where did this enemy come from? How can there be so many? As soon as the endless Celestial Empire army appeared, Ding Feng was afraid, and the joy of the previous victory was gone.
"Where is Ding Feng? Tai Shi Ci has been waiting here for a long time. "A general in an orange cloak, riding a brown horse, and armed with an iron spear crossed the road.
"General, what should I do?" Seeing that there were so many black-clothed troops, the Dongwu soldiers had already been afraid, and they said in a voice with a hint of fear.
"Don't be afraid, just kill me out." Ding Feng felt that the morale of the army was declining, and he knew that if he didn't do it, he was afraid that there would be no chance. To say that he is also resolute in doing things, knowing that he is surrounded, he said ruthlessly: "Pass the order, the whole army will follow me forward to break through, join General Xu Sheng, and at the same time burn all the grain and grass in my hands for me." ”
Even if something can't be taken away, it can't be left to the opponent.
Ding Feng's movements were not slow, and under his order, the torches set the cart of military rations on fire.
Ding Feng was only about to rush out with dozens of boxes of gold. Just when he had found the direction of his whole army to break through, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded in the middle of the army.
Clusters of firelight lit up, and huge air waves were generated in the middle of the team, and one after another Dongwu soldiers were blown up by explosives without the slightest preparation.
No one would have thought that most of the grain trucks were actually not grain, but some chaff, and there were a lot of buried explosives mixed in them, all of which were just Jia Xu's own plan.
Speaking of insight into people's hearts, Jia Xu is definitely a master in this, he is worried that Ding Feng will be prepared to find out, first used a few truckloads of real grain to confuse the real with the fake, and later even carried out the dozens of boxes of gold from the reserve military funds of the Waterway Legion, he believes that as long as these things are found, there will be no going to see the authenticity of the gold.
In fact, after Ding Feng inadvertently found the gold, he really didn't care about other things, which made Jia Xu's plan succeed.
The explosives that suddenly exploded were still blooming from the center of the Eastern Wu Army, and this explosion dealt a huge blow to Ding Fengjun for a while, and the entire army soon became chaotic and could not form an effective defense at all.
Taking advantage of this chaos, Tai Shi Ci waved his iron spear and began to rush towards Ding Feng's army on all sides with the army of the three legions.
Poor Ding Feng, there was originally an army of 100,000, but now it is so bombed, it has long been chaotic, the army has no formation, the soldiers have no morale, and the general has no fighting spirit, how can he still beat the imposing Taishi Ci Third Army?
In less than five hours, 100,000 Eastern Wu troops were wiped out. Either killed or captured, even the main general Ding Feng was killed, and the dozens of boxes of gold fell back into the hands of Tai Shici.
It wasn't until the battle was settled that Sima Yi, who had changed into a set of black armor, came out of nowhere accompanied by Zhang Zhi and came to the front of the commander of Tai Shici.
"Haha, yes, you guys did a great job." Looking at Zhang Zhi and Sima Yi, Tai Shici sighed and said, this time the three legions only lost less than 10,000 people to solve Ding Feng's 100,000 people, and also captured most of the opponent's number, which can be said to be a complete victory.
"The Legion Commander is gracious." Sima Yi also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he knew that this time the task was completed, I believe it was equivalent to handing in a high-scoring answer sheet to Zhang Chao, and now he just hopes that the emperor can fulfill his promise.
Ding Feng was destroyed, Xu Sheng next to the West Harbor was also no better, after a desperate fight, he was captured after losing to Gan Ning, and his army was also killed or killed, wounded or wounded, thrown or thrown.
Under Sima Yi's planning and the cooperation of the Celestial Empire's army, the 300,000 troops of Eastern Wu entering Xuzhou were wiped out, and the total number of escaped sergeants was only less than 3,000.
The great victory in the Haixi War also indicated that all the land of Xuzhou had fallen into the hands of the Celestial Empire. Because at the time of the great war, the commander of the vanguard corps, Lu Buji, led his army to Xiapi, and without much effort, he took down the two thousand defenders in the city and successfully occupied this place.
But just occupying Xiapi is not what Lu Bu wants, he has already issued an order, that is, all armies are ready, as long as Emperor Zhang Chao gives an order, they will continue to take it and enter the realm of Eastern Wu. At the same time, the vanguard of 100,000 troops led by Hou Cheng, deputy commander of the corps, had already entered Huailing first, and a frame that might attack at any time.
