Chapter 616: Disappointment
Zhou Zhi didn't spend much effort to take Zhuyang, Yin County, and Sui County.
The current Jin army is afraid of the Qin army like a tiger, and as soon as they saw the banner of the Qin army, the people and the defenders all dispersed in a hurry.
This is also the propaganda of the heroes of the Worship Sima Zhao and the scholars.
The Qin State is a violent Qin, and the Qin army is a tiger and wolf, but whenever the city is broken, the chickens and dogs are not left......
There are not many elite soldiers in Zhuyang, Yin County, and Sui County.
Zhou aimed at being mediocre, so he naturally wanted to take advantage of the situation, let Liu Yin defend the new city, and lead 5,000 fine foot cavalry to continue westward.
Take Zhuyang, Sima Zhao will not move, and take Yin County, still not move.
It wasn't until the capture of Sui County that the Jin army moved, and Sima Liang, the governor of Jingzhou stationed in Xinye, sent his generals Liu Qi and the cavalry governor Jingyan to lead an army of 10,000 to counterattack.
Wancheng Sima Lun also led 20,000 people to attack.
At this time, Zhou Zhi had already finished resting, and immediately abandoned the county, and rode 5,000 steps to Liu Qibu with the advantage of war horses.
As soon as Liu Qi saw that the Qin army was menacing, he ordered the cavalry governor Jingyan to be the vanguard, led 3,000 foot soldiers to meet the Qin army, and hid in the rear to watch the changes.
Zhou Zhi seized the fighter plane and launched a fierce attack.
Jing Yan's 3,000 foot soldiers were defeated on the spot, and the defeated army attacked Liu Qi's main formation, Liu Qi turned around and ran away, and was killed by the rebel army.
Zhou Zhichang drove straight in, gave full play to the advantage of foot cavalry, and drove the defeated army straight to Xinye.
Sima Liang was shocked and hurriedly asked Wancheng for help.
After Sima Lun took the empty county, he immediately reported to Wancheng, claiming to have defeated the Qin army and recaptured the city......
In Wancheng, Sima Zhao's face was gloomy.
In fact, he knows exactly how many men and horses there are in the Qin army.
It is clearer that the Qin army is only attacking and containing.
That's why he sent his two younger brothers to brush up on military exploits and add two more pillars to the Sima family.
It's just that from Sima Ling to Sima Gan, Sima Liang, Sima Wei, and Sima Lun, they are all wine bags and rice bags, and even the children of the clan, Sima Ban and Sima Lian, are all mediocre people......
The only thing that can be used is to guard Xuchang Sima Jun.
After the aura of the Sima family reached Sima Zhao, it took a sharp turn for the worse.
As for Sima Yan, his ambition obviously exceeded his ability, and he went further than himself with the Shi Clan.
There are more and more things that make Sima Zhao unhappy.
Five thousand Qin troops can turn the world upside down under the noses of hundreds of thousands of troops.
"King, without further ado, quickly exterminate this Qin thief!" Shi Bao is purely considered from a military point of view, and it is also purely considered by Sima Zhao.
But Sima Zhao glanced at Shi Bao.
As a confidant, Jia Chong couldn't help but speak at this time, "This Qin army is just a suspicious army, cheering for the Wu army, how can my army move lightly?" Xinye and Fancheng are fortified cities, and they are heavily garrisoned, and although the field battle is unfavorable, the city can be defended. ”
"The two countries are fighting, not only for territory, but also for people's hearts and morale, the Qin army is so rampant, the 100,000 army is helpless, what do the soldiers and people of Xiangyang and Xinye think? It is better for the army to go south, recapture the new city, block the Qin army in Shangyong, and also protect Jingzhou. Shi Bao arched his hand.
Jia Chong wanted to persuade again, but Sima Zhao stood up, "Zhong Rong, how many soldiers and horses do you need to recapture the new city?" ”
Without Xincheng County, Nanyang would have no gate, and the Qin army could come and go freely, and it could still contact the Wu army.
The pressure in Xiangyang increases.
On the contrary, if the new city is occupied, the Han River is still controlled, and Ding Feng's naval army will be in a weak position.
At that time, a Jiangxia Huangzu occupied the upper reaches, and the Jiangdong in the lower reaches attacked for several years before it was wiped out.
Shi Bao arched his hand and said: "The army of 50,000 will go to the new city within three months!" ”
Sima Zhao raised his eyebrows, the army of 50,000 was no problem.
But when it falls into the hands of Shi Bao, there are some problems.
Zhong Hui's rebellion made Sima Zhao still have a fish in his throat now.
An army of 50,000 for three months......
Sima Zhao glanced at Jia Chong.
Jia Chong shook his head secretly.
There are not many elites in the Chinese army, and they can't stand the toss.
Shi Bao looked at the faces of the two and knew that it was impossible to agree, in fact, the 50,000 army was still a conservative estimate.
The Qin army had at least 10,000 troops in Xincheng, and there were 5,000 cavalry of Wu and Zhou Zhi on the periphery, and 50,000 troops were by no means too much, and three months was by no means long.
At that time, Zhuge Ke's 200,000 troops attacked Hefei New City and did not conquer it for a year.
"The King's ......"
Shi Bao looked at Sima Zhao with a sincere face.
At this time, there were soldiers outside the door to report: "Report to the king, Fancheng asks for help, Ding Feng, Shi Ji, Buxie, and Wuyan attack Xiangyang, ask the king for reinforcements!" ”
All the people in the hall changed color.
Xincheng County is just a border county, and Xiangyang is an important town in Jingxiang, Xiangyang is lost, and there is no point in taking Xincheng down.
"Jia Chong listened to the order and led 50,000 troops to aid Xiangyang!" Sima Zhao's gaze fell on Shi Bao's face, and he slowed down, "Shi Bao is to join the army, send troops immediately!" ”
"Obey!" Jia Chong originally had a bitter stomach, this errand was not easy to do, it was Zhou Zhi and Ding Feng, in case there was a bad pool, he would be the first dog leg in Luoyang, but after hearing that Shi Baowei had joined the army, he was overjoyed and secretly thought that Sima Zhao was sympathetic.
The credit is given to the main general.
If you can't do anything, you can throw the pot and stone bag......
"The minister obeys the order...... "Shibao people are old and fine, and they know a little bit about the dirtiness between the two, Jia Chong went out to kill the emperor on the street for Sima Zhao, and Sima Zhao rarely killed him in order to protect Jia Chong to thank the world.
The two of them are like fish in water......
However, the road was chosen by Shi Bao himself, even if he was kneeling, he had finished walking.
Sima Yan, who was silent on the side, was thoughtful.
The attack and defense of Xiangyang City reached the most critical moment.
Ding Fengqin arrived at the city, like a big banner, standing there, the morale of the Wu army there was high, as if there was inexhaustible strength.
This elite was trained by Ding Feng himself, and he followed him to fight in the south and north for many years, and regarded him as a nephew on weekdays.
Everyone fell, and the muscles on Ding Feng's face twitched.
However, in order for Wu Guoneng to continue for another thirty years, he had to do this.
Thirty years, perhaps blessed by the sky, a male lord descended, the inner town of the wealthy clans, the external attack on the strong enemy, like Emperor Wulie and the King of Changsha Huan swept the world.
However, there is great hope and so great disappointment.
"Report to the general, General Bu has suffered heavy casualties and quit the siege!" The scout panicked.
Ding Feng's face turned gloomy.
Even if Xiangyang is taken, the territory is meritorious, and the credit is Ding Feng, of course the Bu family will not sacrifice the elite troops here.
"Report to the general, the general was defeated and was repelled by Wang Yi himself! Only Nishijo Gohiko is still on the offensive. "Scouts bring worse news.
On the city wall, the Wei army has relieved its breath, and more and more Wei troops are rushing to the aid of the northern city.
Ding Feng's teeth rattled.
This battle is not for his own future, but for the continuation of Soochow!
Ten years, nay, maybe five years from now, the gap between the national strength of the North and the South will be further widened.
When the time comes, it will not be the dispute between the East and the West, but the division of Eastern Wu first!
Even at this moment, they are still fighting and calculating!
"General, save a breath for your brothers!" Shen Ying, scarred and covered in blood, knelt in front of Ding Feng.
The morale of the surrounding soldiers had already been exhausted, and they looked at Ding Feng pitifully.
Ding Feng sighed and looked at the red river, maybe it was blood, maybe it was red by the sunset, "Rest for a day, continue tomorrow!" ”
