Chapter 38 Lu Xun's 36 Plans

As mentioned last time, E Huan sent 5,000 rattan armor soldiers and a regiment of musketeers to take the initiative to attack the assembly point of the Eastern Wu army.

Although these soldiers were arranged in a new battle formation like sandwich cakes, they were invincible in the Eastern Wu army, but after all, there were many people in the Eastern Wu army, as many as 3 or 40,000, and it was not a thing that could be completed in a short time to kill so many people.

During this time, all the horses of the 3rd Division had entered the city, and they were followed by the 5th Regiment of the 1st Division and their commander Zhong Dong.

Then, the vulture finally waited for the time for his second division to enter, but this time he could only lead 7,000 men into the city, and the remaining 8,000 vine armor soldiers Liu Hou had to keep for his own self-defense.

In addition to leaving 8,000 rattan armor soldiers, Liu Hou also left the first regiment of musketeers, the sixth regiment and his own personal guard battalion to garrison the battalion. The musketeers of Zhang Bao's regiment were on guard outside the city, and they could not participate in the siege battle either.

As more and more people entered the city, E Huan combined 5,000 rattan armor soldiers and a regiment of musketeers from Zhang Bai into a "sandwich cake" team to attack various valuable strongholds in the city.

The so-called valuable base refers to important places such as the government office and the government treasury. Walls and gates are not within the attack. Under normal circumstances, digging tunnels to sneak into the city, the first time should be to control a city gate, and then let the army outside the city into the city, through the guò tunnel to enter only a small number of sneak attackers.

However, the siege of the Shu army this time was different, because the tunnel dug by the Dongwu people before was too wide, which could accommodate a large flow of people, and running into the city through the guò tunnel was not much slower than running into the city through the gate of the city.

Therefore, the Shu army simply gave up the plan to enter through the city gate, and all the horses entered through the tunnel, so the city gate and city wall became insignificant. Of course, this is on the premise that the Shu army doesn't care how many Eastern Wu troops have fled.

The number of soldiers in the Shu army is too small, and there are too many Eastern Wu troops, and it is unrealistic to trap them all to death, so Liu Hou has always occupied the territory when he fights, as for how many enemies have fled, and whether these escaped people will come back in the future, he has never cared and cannot pay attention to it.

Not long after Ehuan sent 5,000 wisteria armor soldiers and a regiment of musketeers to capture an important stronghold, the hot air balloon reported that another Soochow army of about 10,000 people was attacking from the west. The Shu army continued to have troops coming up from the tunnel, and the Eastern Wu army was also constantly assembling, and they gathered more than 10,000 people in this meeting.

This time, Ehuan didn't have the manpower to send out to block the attack for the time being, so he had no choice but to order to hold on to the spot. The fortifications that had taken so much effort could finally come in handy.

The musketeers of the 5th regiment, who had just come up from the mouth of the tunnel, hurried to the defensive positions and hurriedly entered the battle. There were musketeers who relied on their positions to defend, and the enemy only had to die as much as he could. Therefore, the more than 10,000 Eastern Wu soldiers were quickly reimbursed.

Even if the Eastern Wu Army later added nearly 10,000 more people to rush over, it still seemed to be the end of meat buns beating dogs. Unconsciously, the eastern horizon is white, the sky is about to dawn, after a night of fierce battles, the Eastern Wu army has inadvertently lost tens of thousands of troops, I believe that after this battle, the strength of the combat effectiveness of the Shu army will shock China again.

At this time, in a secret basement, Lu Xun and some generals were discussing the military situation like ants in a hot pot. Due to the Shu army's continuous air raids on the Changsha City Government and some military facilities, Lu Xun had long since stopped working in the government office, but moved the headquarters to the ground.

"Governor, all the troops that can be sent have been dispatched, and we don't have any extra troops in our hands." General Li Yi said to Lu Xun.

"Alas, the heavens are dead to me. A certain finally understood why Zhou Dudu would sigh that he was both born and bright. Why did God give birth to a freak like Prince Shu Han? Lu Xun said gloomily.

Another general, Liu Ke, persuaded: "Governor, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and today's defeat is just a despicable sneak attack by the Shu army, not a crime of war." It is better for us to take a step back for the time being, and regroup in the coming day, and we will be able to make a comeback and avenge this arrow. ”

This guy didn't mention that the Dongwu army dug tunnels and sneak attacked in front, and now the Shu army used the tunnels of Dongwu to counter the sneak attack, and he said that people were despicable and shameless, and he really responded to that sentence: the official word is two, and he has the final say no matter how reasonable it is.

Lu Xun was about to speak, when suddenly a big man broke in. This big man's helmet was disheveled, covered in blood, his cloak was scattered, and there was a bloody scar on his face, obviously he had just gone through a hard fight.

The person who came was Xu Sheng, and I saw him take three steps and make two steps to rush to Lu Xun at once, and gasped: "Great, Dadu, please go out of the city immediately, the front is already unbearable." ”

Lu Xun was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "General Xu, what's the situation outside now?" ”

Xu Sheng said: "The 30,000 or 40,000 people we originally assembled were counterattacked by the Shu army, and most of them have been slaughtered so far, and I believe they will collapse soon." In addition, the troops attacking the base camp of the Shu army are also about to be exhausted, but the base camp of the Shu army is well defended and cannot be shaken at all.

Now the Shu army has several troops sweeping through the city, the treasury has been occupied, and the government will not be able to support it for long, and it will soon fall. Please take advantage of the fact that the Shu army has not yet fully controlled the city, and the city gates are still in the hands of our army.

As long as the Metropolitan Governor goes back to join the king, he will definitely be able to lead the army back to seek justice from the prince of Xishu at that time. ”

"This, this, if you don't leave, you swear to live and die with Changsha City. The lord entrusted Changsha City and 200,000 troops to a certain hand, and now the city has been lost, and the army has been exhausted. Lu Xun said righteously, in fact, he had already retreated in his heart.

How could a wise man like him not see the current situation, how could he not know that things could no longer be done. Since you can't do anything, you must be wise to protect yourself, and he understands the truth of 36 plans better than anyone else.

However, as someone else's subordinate, at this time, you still have to show loyalty, how can you make a posture and show a posture in front of your subordinates. In fact, in his heart, he wished that his subordinates would hurry up and persuade him to leave.

Fortunately, his subordinates really lived up to his expectations, Liu Ke said: "Governor, the king still needs you there, you can't sacrifice here in vain." ”

Xu Sheng also said: "Dadu Governor, Liu Chan has rarely suffered defeat since his debut, and neither Cao Wei nor our Eastern Wu can find anyone who is his opponent." And you can make him deflated. During this period of time, there were many battles, and most of the governors used clever tricks to make the Shu army lose their troops and generals.

If something happens to you, where in the world can you find someone to compete with Liu Chan? Therefore, please return to Jianye as soon as possible. With the ability of the metropolitan governor, if he can lead the Jiangdong army to fight again, there may not be no possibility of victory. ”

Li Yi simply knelt down and said, "Please let the Governor leave quickly." ”

Lu Xun raised his head and sighed: "Alas, Xun is incompetent, and he is so tired that 200,000 sons are lost in this Changsha City." What face does a certain face to see Jiangdong's father. Oh, by the way, General Xu, where is Zhou Tai? ”

"Report to the Governor, General Zhou is now leading a large army to attack the Shu army camp, I believe that there is a tunnel entrance there, and the Shu army is estimated to have entered the city from there. General Zhou said that he would try his best to delay the pace of the Shu army's attack, buy time for the Dadu Governor, and ask the Dadu Governor to leave quickly. Xu Sheng said.

"Confused, confused, alas, our defense is still insufficient, why should we take the initiative to attack the enemy's camp. Didn't he know that the Shu army was the best at defense? They have those hidden weapons called muskets, and as many people as we go there are in vain. Only in the field there is a silver lining.

No, there are rattan armor soldiers, and there is no hope in the field, their two arms, one long-range attack, one close combat, are invincible, and the two are combined to be unbreakable. Or, a massive cavalry can be tried, just, where to find so many cavalry......"

Lu Xun muttered to himself, caught in his own world, Xu Sheng saw this situation, most of the governors had the possibility of being stunned, so he immediately said to Li Yi and Liu Ke: "You two quickly take the governor away, and I will resist the Shu army." ”

Li Yi and Liu Ke said in unison: "Yes!" With that, the two of them carried Lu Xun and walked out. Lu Xun was actually not stunned, and when he saw that the two generals were carrying him out of the city, he pushed the boat with the water and let them toss.

Anyway, the attitude that should be expressed has been expressed, and his reputation has been preserved, so it is really time to go, and if he doesn't leave, it will be a big disaster. Therefore, people like Lu Xun are actually hypocritical gentlemen, commonly known as hypocrites, and vulgarly speaking, his behavior is to be a bitch and set up a chastity archway.

The battle in the city reached a fever pitch, and the 5,000 wisteria armor soldiers who attacked the assembly point of the Eastern Wu army were slashed and slashed, and a regiment of musketeers who cooperated with them gradually had more things to do.

Because many Eastern Wu soldiers began to flee the battlefield, these Eastern Wu soldiers who left the battlefield naturally became the best targets for musketeers. Since they are a certain distance away from the area in the melee, they are not afraid of accidentally injuring their own people. Therefore, the musketeers began to shoot constantly in "ping-pong", and a large number of Soochow deserters were shot and killed on the spot.

In the end, when there were only seven or eight thousand people left, these Eastern Wu soldiers finally collapsed. A large number of Eastern Wu soldiers fled in all directions at the same time, and the musketeers did not have time to reload and fire, so they could only watch them flee.

After a fierce battle for nearly an hour, these rattan armor soldiers were also a little tired, they killed more than 30,000 enemies, and a nearly 40,000 Soochow army was scattered by them, which was a great credit, of course, it was also a hard battle.

So, after this battle, Ehuan asked them to return to the camp and rest for a while before making arrangements. At this time, outside the camp, Zhou Tai personally led the troops to charge into the Shu army camp.

This was the last of his men, but he still fought to the death, still rushing towards the enemy camp like a moth to a flame. This is Zhou Tai, he Zhou Tai has always been such a person, always charging ahead, no matter what kind of difficult environment he encounters, he never gives up, never gives up.

It was with this spirit of fighting to the death that he repeatedly turned defeat into victory for the Eastern Wu Army in his past career. Of course, the price is that he is covered with dozens of wounds, and his body is densely covered with scars.
