Chapter 21: One Man Captures One
Three days passed quickly. Li Hui divided the army into four teams and besieged the city of Wuchang. To make the soldiers and civilians of Wuchang feel afraid, panicked people are prone to make mistakes, as long as they make mistakes, Wuchang City is at your fingertips!
Ding Feng already felt a little powerless, not only was there not much military food left as Li Hui said, but the people of the whole city were already 'chaotic'. Robbery and stealing happen repeatedly. Everyone will do anything to get a bite to eat. Negativity among the soldiers is also increasing, and there are more and more war-weary.
Ding Feng was helpless, and in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he decided to lead his troops to rob the camp tonight, hoping to restore morale with a victory. At night, the west 'gate' of Wuchang was quietly opened, and Ding Feng led 5,000 men and horses to 'touch' out. The movements of these men were so light that even the hooves of the horses were wrapped in cotton cloth so that they did not make any noise.
Ding Feng took the lead and rushed to Li Hui's camp. From a distance, the lights in the camp were bright, and a pair of patrolling soldiers shuttled back and forth, and an adjutant general asked in a low voice: General, is this a little too hasty? Li Hui is not easy to mess with!
Ding Feng was furious: What are you afraid of? Li Hui definitely couldn't have imagined that we would come back to rob the camp, as long as we succeeded, we would immediately withdraw our troops, not to kill people, but to improve morale.
I was about to arrive at the camp. Ding Feng shouted: Kill! \\ Five thousand Wu troops suddenly exerted their strength, and rushed towards Li Huijun's camp with swords and guns in hand. It went so smoothly that I rushed in at once.
Set! Set! Countless torches lit up all those tents. With the help of the wind, the fewer the flames, the greater the greater.
Ding Feng was stunned, why didn't he see a Li Huijun come out to resist. At this moment, there were bursts of shouts of killing behind Wu Jun. Gao Shun's trap camp came from behind. The soldiers who died in the battle were invincible, and the number was several times that of the Wu army. The Wu soldiers who were killed turned on their backs and retreated.
Not good! Hit the trick! Evacuate! Ding Feng felt the sound of arrows in his ears. Hurriedly lowered his head, and kept the sharp arrow grazing his scalp to 'shoot' the head down.
Why didn't you 'shoot' again, and when you go back, you draw your bow 500 times! Ma Zhong whipped a soldier on the back.
Thundered! The sound of horses' hooves was loud, and Zhang Xiu 'Ting' shot into the Wu army. Ding Feng hurriedly led his troops to resist.
The Wu army only had 5,000 men and horses, and in the face of Li Hui's army, which was several times his own, the idea of surrender popped up in many people's minds except for Ding Feng.
The first team to the left, the second team to the right, surround these Wu troops for me! Don't let one go! Zhang Xiu shouted loudly.
A stick of incense is less than enough. Of the 5,000 Wu troops, there were less than 200 men left. They were compressed in the square in the middle of the camp, Gao Shun's camp, and Zhang Xiu's Flying Tiger Battalion surrounded these people. Ma Zhong led his brother to bend his bow and arrow, using this man as a tool for contact.
Stop it! Li Hui led Guo Jia to the horse. Ding Feng was covered in blood, and the war horse was already gone, and he was 'mixed' with a group of footsteps. Is that General Ding? Li Hui asked.
There was no one in the Wu army to speak. Li Hui pouted: No, I'm going to order the arrows to be released?
I'm Ding Feng! Ding Feng walked out of the crowd and glared angrily at Li Hui.
With these 5,000 men and horses, you are going to rob the camp? Li Hui looked at Ding Feng: You also overestimate your strength! To tell you the truth, if you don't rob the camp, you may be able to defend it for a few months, and now your Wuchang has been taken by me! What else to say today?
Hum! The general of the defeated army, if you want to kill, you will kill, you don't need to coax me with such words! Ding Feng raised his head: There are still 20,000 people in Wuchang City, in fact, you are shabby!
Li Hui smiled slightly: If you don't believe it, you can see it yourself! Li Hui pointed to the distance, Wuchang City was already on fire, the flames were more than a foot high, and the billowing smoke was particularly conspicuous under the white sky of the fish's belly. The faint sound of shouting and killing floated in everyone's ears.
That's impossible? Ding Bong couldn't believe it at all.
Guo Jia: What's impossible about this? Soon after you leave the city, we will send someone to pretend to be you, and break through the 'gate' of Wuchang City to break into it, the Wu army has no heart to fight, the main general is no more, and it won't be long before the entire Wuchang will be occupied!
Looks like I'm overestimating you! Li Hui patted Ding Feng on the shoulder: I used to think you were a great general, but now you look like a waste! I won't kill you either, go back and tell Lu Xun to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise I'll be like Chaisang razed to the ground!"
Report! \\A fast horse galloped over: My lord, General Jiang Wei has taken Ancheng, and he has not encountered Lu Xun's reinforcements, and he is holding on to Ancheng!
Report! \\ Another group of fast horses are coming: Lord Yu, General Wen Chou has taken Jianchang, although Lu Xun sent reinforcements, they have been defeated by General Wen, and General Wen is rushing to Chaisang!
Ancheng and Jianchang were broken, completely sweeping away the road from Wuchang to Chaisang. The first defensive circle of Dongwu was broken, and since it was necessary to capture Chaisang again, Dongwu would be gone. Li Hui nodded: Very good! The herald ordered the three armies to bury the pot and prepare to go to Wuchang! At this time, the war in Wuchang should also be over, send people back to Nanjun to let the officials at all levels who have been prepared come to Wuchang to take office immediately, from now on, Wuchang is our territory! Hahaha\\
Not good! Guo Jia suddenly: Lord, something is wrong, General Wen may be in danger, General Jiang Wei, who reported the incident, did not meet Lu Xun's reinforcements, but General Wen Chou encountered reinforcements, Lu Xun has seen through our two-pronged strategy, and will lead Wen Chou to 'lure' Chaisang, we should immediately rush to Chaisang to rescue Wen Chou!
Li Hui's eyes rolled, and he also felt bad: Ma Zhong, arrest Ding Feng back immediately, quickly!
Ma Zhong saw that Li Hui's face was not good, so he did not hesitate, and hurriedly led people to chase Ding Feng. As soon as Ma Zhong left, Li Hui still felt uneasy in his heart, and had an order: Gao Shun stay, Zhang Xiu, take your people and go with me! Go Chaisang!
As Guo Jia expected, Lu Xun learned that Li Hui sent Jiang Wei and Wen Chou to lead the two armies to attack Ancheng and Jianchang respectively, and he already understood that Wuchang must not be able to stand it. Wu Qian: Governor of Dadu, Li Hui did not attack Wuchang, but counterattacked Ancheng and Jianchang, threatening Chaisang, did he send people to reinforce the two places?
It's too late! Lu Xun shook his head: As soon as Wuchang is broken, no matter how many people are sent, it will be useless, hehe, this Li Hui is really a good opponent, he ordered to send three thousand soldiers to Jianchang, don't fall in love with war, and lure Wen Chou's army to me to 'lure' Jiujiang, if you dare to kill Ding Feng, I will kill Wen Chou! See if Li Huigang doesn't dare to gamble with me?
