In Chapter 164, Lu Boyan attacked Jiangxia on a rainy night
In Xiangyang City, the current commander of the Xiangyang Defense Line, the Marquis of Anping Ting, and the general of Zhengnan.
After Xu Huang and the others determined the losses and ordered to guard the city. Silently hid in the back hall, and finally cried loudly after retiring everyone.
"Ahh
Tonight's Cao Ren is sad like a child of more than 180 pounds.
Jingzhou military camp
"Haha!"
"Congratulations to my father, this battle has broken the Cao army!"
"The prince is brave! It's not less than that year. ”
In Guan Yu's tent, there was a hearty laugh.
"Just Cao Ren, if you can't keep it, Guan still needs to look sideways. But he will send troops to attack Nanjun and bring defeat upon himself! ”
vertex
Guan Yu pretended not to care, but his action of stroking his long hair betrayed his mind.
"Cao Ren was defeated by me and my military division, and I think that there are no more than 60,000 soldiers and horses in the city now, and tomorrow a certain person will personally attack the city."
"Take Xiangyang and attack Fancheng again, and then the eldest brother will be able to control Jingzhou!"
Guan Yu struck while the iron was hot and said very optimistically.
Ma Liang and Guan Ping both knew the current situation, and the past two days were both sieges and ambushes.
The 20,000 naval army is now only more than 15,000, and it is a fool's dream to attack the fortified city of Xiangyang, which is garrisoned by no less than 60,000 people.
But Guan Yu's character is here after all, it is indeed difficult to say that it is difficult to do, and it is easy to persuade but easy to persuade.
"Prince, the soldiers have been on a crusade lately. You still need to recuperate, why don't you besiege it for the time being? ”
"Xiangyang's department has been defeated and trapped for a long time, and its city can't say or can mess with itself!"
Ma Liang advised, obviously holding Guan Yu's seven inches.
The three brothers Liu Guanzhang have very incomplete personalities.
Zhang Fei respects the upper and lower and does not love the lower, and Guan Yu is pro-inferior and proud. Lao Liu can benefit from it, but sometimes he loves righteousness and anger, and no one can persuade him.
To be combined, turn over the same Liu Xiu.
"Well, what Ji Chang said is true, so let the soldiers rest for a day or two."
Guan Yu thought about it, and he agreed if he would not refuse.
But as the old saying goes, "Blessings and misfortunes depend on them, and misfortunes and blessings lurk."
didn't make Guan Yu and the others happy for too long, and saw a general dressed as a captain break into the camp with a sad face.
looked very embarrassed.
"Zhao Lei, didn't you order you to guard Jiangxia, why did you come here?"
"Prince...... Junhou, Jiangxia is lost! ”
"How, how is it possible!"
......
A few days ago, it was also when Cao Ren sent troops to Jiangling and Guan Yu attacked Xiangyang.
The Jiangdong side divided its troops into two routes. All the way, Ganning was the main leader, and 30,000 soldiers and horses were taken to Jingnan, and Lu Xun was the main one to take Jiangxia.
To attack Jiangxia, starting from Chaisang, the general situation is to borrow the Yangtze River to take the waterway, first attack Xiakou Port and then take Jiangxia City.
However, Lu Xun led the army to the left of the Lujiang River first, and then the whole army went ashore. turned out to be planning to take the land route, which naturally caused Zhou Tai to be puzzled.
"Bo Yan, it only takes one day for me to go to Jiangxia and Xiakou by water, why take the land route? Isn't this a waste of time? ”
Zhou Tai, positioning is more like Xu Chu Dianwei.
Bodyguards, brave generals are more heavily labeled. But unlike a soldier who is a general is not a good soldier, a general who does not want to be a commander is not a good general.
Lu Xun was a weak literati, although he had the performance of pacifying part of Shanyue and fighting with the beard.
But these exploits obviously can't convince Zhou Tai.
Therefore, he was still a little dissatisfied with Lu Su's arrangement of Lu Xun as the main general and restrained himself.
"There are two disadvantages for me to attack Xiakou and then take Jiangxia, and if I defeat Jiangxia first, there will be two benefits."
"Attacking Xiakou Port will make Jiangxia take precautions. Our army is less than 10,000 soldiers, and it will be difficult to attack the city at that time. It is better to concentrate forces and break the city first. ”
"Moreover, if we take Xiakou, our army will inevitably divide our troops and garrison them. Once Guan Yu returns to help, Xiakou will be lost, and then come to capture the city, our army will be defeated. ”
Lu Xun rode on his horse and explained.
Zhou Tai saw that what Lu Xun said was reasonable, but he didn't find a refutation in his heart. So he gathered his mind and hurried away.
When the march was still halfway through Jiangxia, he saw clouds in the sky.
"Bo Yan, Tai Shi just asked the scouts in the army. Speaking of the current tutorial, it was late at night when he arrived in Jiangxia, not to mention that the sky was gloomy. ”
"Why don't you set up camp here and rest for the night before you go?"
Zhou Tai drove his horse to Lu Xun's side again and asked loudly.
"Haha, Youping. This is a godsend! ”
"Encamped in the wilderness? Haha, how can he live in Jiangxia City. ”
Lu Xun looked up at the sky, but laughed.
"Bo Yan, this, why is this?"
Zhou Tai saw that Lu Xun not only had no intention of camping, but even listened to the implication that he wanted to take advantage of the night to move forward in the rain?
"Only in this way will Jiang Xia not be aware of our army's attack. With its slackness is the period of our army's meritorious service, in order to win Jiangxia at the lowest cost! ”
Although Jiangxia was smooth all the way, it was heavy rain at night. How does this make such a march?
"Youping and order, our army rushed overnight and attacked Jiangxia City at night!"
"But, Boyan."
"General Zhou, Jiangdong Erlang is a good man, is it so unbearable?"
After about half an hour's journey, the rain was already pouring in the sky.
The summer rain in June and July is fierce, especially near the Yangtze River, and the summer rain is even more ferocious.
It hit people so hard that they couldn't open their eyes, and the sky was getting darker and darker, and they could barely see their fingers everywhere.
The torch was extinguished at just one o'clock, several times in a row, and the Koto soldier finally threw away the torch.
is like this, and he is groping step by step, but he does not reduce the speed of the march and goes towards Jiangxia.
And Lu Xun also dismounted at this time, like an ordinary soldier, marching with difficulty.
"Comrades, take down Jiangxia City. Everyone will be rewarded with 500 yuan, and the wine and meat will be enough! ”
"Eat wine and drink meat, and get a reward!"
During the rainy march, Lu Xun still did not forget to encourage morale.
Seeing this, Zhou Tai finally put away his contempt. A scribe can share weal and woe with the soldiers in the battlefield, which shows that the non-alcoholic and pedantic people are pedantic.
But it is not enough to share weal and woe, what the soldiers need is a general who can lead them to victory.
The emperor lives up to his wishes, and he is ugly in the middle of the night. The Jiangdong Army had already appeared outside the city before Jiang Xia found out.
In today's Jiangxia, the guard will be Guan Yu's lord Bo Liaohua, and his subordinate generals Wang Fu and Zhao Lei.
There are about 4,000 soldiers in the county, and if it is really Lu Xun, 10,000 people will attack. At least half of the soldiers were lost, and it took nearly half a month to make it possible.
Zhou Tai and Lu Xun were lying in the woods outside the city, looking at the city gate.
"Bo Yan?"
"Hmm!"
The rain was falling in the sky, and the two knew their thoughts at a glance when they looked at each other.
I saw several figures quietly coming to the city wall, throwing on the grappling hook and putting it on the wall pier.
After a while, the gates of the city were opened.
"Kill!"
It's night, Jiangxia City is broken.
Liao Hua, Wang Fu, and Zhao Lei fled to Xiakou. And while resisting Lu Xun's pursuers, he sent Zhao Lei to Xiangyang as soon as possible.
When Guan Yu got the news, he could only look at Xiangyang with hatred.
In the end, a message was sent to Kong Ming to withdraw his troops to recapture Jiangxia.
At present, Kong Mingzijing is on the show, and only Cao Ren is being beaten. lost troops and almost lost Xiangyang!
