Chapter 698: Superior (2)
Yang Zhao's progress in Xiling was unfavorable and was blocked by a long fence.
Of course, Xu Yin's navy is no match for Jiangdong's navy.
The situation suddenly fell into a stalemate.
All kinds of disadvantages make Yanghu a little pessimistic about this strategy.
However, at this time, providence still favored the Jin army.
Lu Kang relied on the long encirclement, with weak troops to block the infantry association inside, and rejected Yang Zhao outside.
But getting caught up in a confrontation is often a time of bitter fighting.
Wu generals Zhu Qiao and Yu Zan were discouraged by the future of Eastern Wu and led hundreds of troops to surrender to the Jin army.
Yang Zhao was overjoyed, both of them were generals under Lu Kang, and they knew Wu Jun's reality well.
Spread the word to Yanghu, and Yanghu was also overjoyed.
Thinking that this was a good opportunity to break the enemy, he personally led heavy troops to join forces with Yang Zhao, wanting to capture Changwei in one fell swoop.
The surrender of Zhu Qiao and Yu Zan dealt a great blow to the morale of the Wu army.
The autumn rain continued, and the entire Wu country was swaying in the wind and rain.
Lu Kang inspected the surrounding armies in the cold rain, his relatives around him were discouraged, and the soldiers were also mourned, but Lu Kang's face was not discouraged, as gentle and calm as usual.
"The situation is unfavorable, it is better to withdraw Lexiang and defend the south of the Yangtze River." Zuo Yi suggested.
Although the Wu army built a long siege, its strength was not enough to defend it all, and it has always been false and real, mixed with soldiers.
Now, the morale of the soldiers is even lower, and many people are whispering.
"A lot of people have fled in the past few days." Wu Yan was a little more depressed than before.
The Jin army, together with the Bu brothers in Xiling City, had nearly four times the strength of the Wu army.
A Yang Zhao made it difficult for the Wu army to defend, if the 50,000 troops of Yanghu under Jiangling City pounced on it, and marched with the rear to explain the internal and external attack, how to defend the long siege?
Moreover, the Wu army also had to defend the entire Yangtze River defense line.
Lu Kang's gaze swept around among the soldiers, and the eyes of the soldiers dodged.
Suddenly, Lu Kang laughed, "This is a godsend!"
The generals were at a loss.
"Qiao, the old officials in the praise army, those who know my truth and truth, I often worry that the soldiers are not concise, if the enemy besieges them, they must be here first!" Lu Kang pointed to a section of the fortified road defended by the Yi soldiers.
This is also the weakest point of the defensive line.
Wu Yan instantly understood what Lu Kang meant, "Is the governor going to set up an ambush here?"
"Not bad! Zuo Yi, Wu Yan, and Cai Gong listened to the order, and each led 1,000 elites to replace the Yi soldiers, and the survival of the country was in this battle!"
"Command!"
The autumn rain was getting heavier, but Wu Jun was cheered up by Lu Kang and waited for him.
The next day, Yanghu really led his troops to come, and with a total of 60,000 troops, he launched a fierce attack.
Yanghu also attacked the east and west, attacking the other fortresses first.
Secretly ordered Yang Zhao to lead 20,000 elites to wait for the opportunity.
But all of Yanghu's plans and actions were all expected by Lu Kang, no matter how Yanghu attacked, it was not the three elites of Zuo Yi, Wuyan, and Cai Gong.
At the most dangerous time, Bu Shen led the army to kill, attacked inside and outside, and Lu Kang went into battle with his sword and led the personal guards in a bloody battle.
The battle lasted from noon to dusk.
Both sides were exhausted, and the corpses were piled up in a long circle.
Many generals were full of doubts about Lu Kang's arrangement.
But Lu Kang just didn't change his mind.
Sure enough, at dusk, the Jin army drums and horns were played.
Yang Zhao led 20,000 elites with Zhu Qiao and Yu Zan to suddenly kill and went straight to the ambush place of Zuo Yi, Wu Yan, and Cai Gong.
The autumn rain was whirling, and Yanghu stood in the wind and rain like the soldiers.
The fate of the Central Plains is actually in this battle.
Defeating Lu Kang and taking Xiling blocked a way for the Qin army to go east.
Then, with the power of the country, it cannibalized Soochow.
To make up for the Central Plains with Eastern Wu, and then to win the East and West with the Qin army.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the days when he was in Guzang.
Although I feel a little sorry in my heart, for the sake of the family, I can only be a division
The Ma family has done their duty.
As far as the eye can see, Yang Zhao's attack is unusually smooth.
The elite of the Jin army had climbed up the barrier, and it seemed that the Wu army was really tired.
After all, they only have more than 20,000 horses, and it is already unexpected that they can resist until now.
It's just that it's too quiet on the fence.
Yanghu's heart suddenly shook, "It's not good, it's an ambush!"
Almost at the same time, it was as if a muffled thunder was exploding continuously on the fence.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Countless swords and spears suddenly stabbed out, and countless crossbow arrows rained down, setting off waves of blood, and more than a thousand Jin troops who were the first to board the city wall fell in a pool of blood in an instant.
The roar around the area was like thunder, and the war drums shook the sky.
Zuo Yi, Wu Yan, Cai Gong three armies killed, extremely violent, some people carried a ring head knife directly from more than one person high up and down into the enemy group, hacked to death several people, and then was hacked to death by the Jin army.
Although the Wu army had few soldiers, everyone fought for their lives.
Yang Zhao had a lot of soldiers, and he thought it would be easy, but he was hit head-on.
Lu Kang also led elite men and horses to besiege from the west.
The Jin army was defeated.
Yang Zhao was afraid of the momentum of Wu's army and led his troops to retreat.
The generals of the Wu army wanted to pursue, but Lu Kang worried that the Bu brothers led the army out, so they beat the drum and waved the flag, which made the soldiers shout.
The Bu brothers did not dare to attack.
And Yang Zhao was even more frightened, throwing away his armor and impulsive Yanghu's rear army.
Lu Kang pursued it with light troops again, the Jin army was defeated, and Yanghu was also coerced by the defeated army.
On the Yangtze River, thousands of miles, sails like clouds, compared with the scales, Ding Feng's sailors rushed to the waters of Jingzhou before Sima Ling's foot.
The advantages of the Jin army were gone, and the Eastern Wu had the advantage.
Governor Yanghu could not do anything, coupled with the difficulty of transporting military rations, and his morale was low, so he ordered the troops to return to Xiangyang.
Lu Kang led troops to surround Xiling, and the Bu brothers became turtles in the urn.
By December, the Lu Kang Overseers had broken through Xiling.
The Bu clan is old and weak, all of them are slaughtered, so the old generals, all the three clans, thousands of floating corpses on the river.
Except for Bu Ji and Bu Xuan, who were sent to Luoyang as a hostage, the rest of the people were all driven away.
Later, Lu Kang petitioned for pardon for tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city.
So far, all the power of Jingzhou in Eastern Wu has fallen into the hands of Lu Kang, and the number of people under his command has increased greatly.
The Jin-Wu War began hastily and ended hastily.
Inside the city of Yong'an.
Jingzhou's battle reports came one after another.
Luo Xian complained, "If this battle breaks out in a year's time, our army will definitely be able to take the opportunity to advance eastward!" Let Fox Zijun feel proud of His Majesty's old ...... Insist on going your own way."
The plan was right, but the timing was wrong.
Ding Fengshui's army rushed to Jingzhou, which meant that the war was over.
Even if Sima Ling's 50,000 cavalry arrived, he could only look at the river and sigh.
Similarly, the Qin army did not have any advantage in front of Ding Fengshui's army.
What's more, the talent shown in this battle and land resistance can shake the world.
30,000 Wu troops, defeated 80,000 Jin troops, and broke through Xiling, where 30,000 troops were stationed, and every move of the Jin army was expected by Lu Kang.
A bright star streaks across the night sky of the Three Kingdoms.
Du was not surprised by this result, "This battle is not meaningless."
"Oh?" Luo Xian was surprised.
"Soochow is by no means a decisive battle, and the lessons of Yanghu must be taken as a warning."
In a hurry, he could only flee in the wilderness.
Luo Xian nodded yes, "Although Sun Hao is tyrannical, he is not without people in the country."
Du pre-said: "Linghu Thorn Shi returned to Chang'an, and a certain also returned to Chengdu to train soldiers, train sailors, accumulate grain and grass, and build warships, although this battle is avoided, but after a few years, there will be civil strife in Eastern Wu, and there will always be an opportunity."
