Chapter 1066: Battle of Changsha

Zhang Cheng is unlucky, this is not wrong at all, but Lu Ji thinks that he is not much better than Zhang Cheng.

The good Guiyang Taishou was in charge, and suddenly Zhu Ran emptied the county soldiers in his hand and went to Wuling County to assist in the defense, and he himself was also transferred to Changsha County to guard Changsha County and be responsible for the dispatch of logistics grain and grass.

Well, in fact, Lu Ju is not incomprehensible, after all, the war in Jingnan is tight, if Changsha can't hold it, then even if he stays in Guiyang and doesn't move, it will be the result of defeat and capture.

It's actually better to guard Changsha County, at least there is Zhu Ran in front of him, and Lu Dai in the west, and he is responsible for grain and grass scheduling in Changsha, and he doesn't need to command the battle on the front line, which can be regarded as Zhu Ran taking care of himself.

In the years when he was a taishou in Wuling County, Lu Ju had already seen his ability clearly. It's okay to govern the place, but the front-line soldiers, and they are really incapacitated.

Therefore, managing logistics in Changsha and providing logistics support to Zhu Ran on the front line can be regarded as a place where he can help.

Can. Who knew that this place in Changsha County was besieged one day!!

First, a Shu army of about 15,000 people came from the west, and at that time, Lu Ju wondered, how did Lu Dai of Wuling County defend it, and how could there be a Shu army attacking Changsha County from the west? !

Well, it's all here, and Lu Ju has nothing to say, although his military ability is really not good, but the defenders of the city still take advantage of it in the end.

In addition, there are not many Shu troops who came, but there are more than 10,000 people, and there are still 8,000 soldiers in their hands.

But. Can anyone tell me how Zhang Cheng, who was supposed to be guarding Liling County in the south of him, was defeated all the way to Changsha County?!

And just outside Changsha County, under the nose of Lu Ju, he was intercepted by the Shu army, and finally the soldiers broke up and the whole army was annihilated.

I really can't blame Lu for not saving him when he sees death, he has a heart, but he is really powerless.

There are 8,000 soldiers in his own hands, which must be used to defend the city, and his military ability has a few catties and taels, and Lu Zhi himself is also very clear that once he goes out of the city to meet Zhang Cheng's department, it is difficult to say whether he can break through the encirclement of the Shu army.

If it is just an ordinary city with no strategic value, Lu Yi will fight hard, but Changsha County is now where Zhu Ranjun's logistics and grain storage are located.

It's not that Lu Ju doesn't want to save it, he really doesn't dare to save it, so he can only watch his family being surrounded by people from front to back, resulting in the annihilation of the whole army.

And after that, Lu Ju's biggest trouble came.

Shi Bao didn't expect that he would be able to meet the Southern Han Army led by Jiang Wei under the city of Changsha County.

Originally, Shi Bao chased Zhang Cheng all the way, but seeing Zhang Cheng evacuate all the way, he was forced to maintain the team formation under his own pursuit, and tried to withdraw to Changsha. Shibud is really in a hurry.

Changsha County was already guarded by more than 8,000 soldiers, and if these more than 5,000 soldiers were allowed to retreat to Changsha County, they would not want to capture Changsha County at all with this little soldiers and horses in their hands.

But just when Shi Bao was about to be anxious, a friendly army suddenly appeared under the city of Changsha, directly stopped Zhang Chengjun, and the combat effectiveness of this friendly army was extremely strong, and directly beat the Dongwu County soldiers led by Zhang Cheng to be embarrassed, and Shi Bao led to catch up, which was just the last straw for the Dongwu County soldiers to flee.

The two armies converged, and as soon as Shi Bao and Jiang Wei informed each other of their situation, the two immediately decided to join forces and attack Changsha County.

Just kidding, this is the logistics grain and grass base of the Eastern Wu Army, as long as it is captured, the battle of Jingnan will be over.

Zhu Ranjun in Luo County, once he learned that Changsha was lost, he would definitely not have the intention of defending it for a long time. No matter how many troops there are, the morale of the army has already dispersed, and it will not be able to hold it at all.

Originally, Shi Bao didn't have much confidence in capturing Changsha, after all, there were still 8,000 guards in Changsha County, and the rabble on his side would be a disaster if he fought a siege war. But isn't there now the 15,000 Hannan Army brought by Jiang Wei?!

The two of them summed it up, and finally decided that Shi Bao handed over the remaining more than 7,000 Han soldiers under his command to Jiang Wei for unified command, and Jiang Wei was responsible for attacking the city, while Shi Bao led nearly 20,000 Wuxi barbarians to bluff, responsible for besieging the city, guarding the surroundings, and preventing Zhu Ran from Luo County from suddenly returning to Changsha.

After the division of labor between the two was completed, they began to storm Changsha, and Lu Ju's unlucky days finally began.

The siege ability of the Southern Han Army and the Han County soldiers is not comparable to the Wuxi barbarians, although they lack large-scale siege equipment and can only rely on simple hooks and ladders to attack the city, but they also fight Lu Zhi bitterly.

In fact, the troops that Jiang Wei really used to attack the city were only about 23,000 people, and compared with the strength of the defenders in Changsha County, the advantage of troops was not big about three to one.

But the problem is that from the perspective of Lu Ju and the defenders of Changsha, they don't see it that way.

Outside the city, there are more than 40,000 Shu troops besieging the city, and on his side, there are only 8,000 people. With a five-to-one military strength comparison, how much better can the morale of the defenders be?!

Five to one, even according to the concept of the art of war, it can besiege the city and cause the enemy army to surrender, not to mention, Lu Ju doesn't have much confidence in his ability to defend.

The main generals are all in this mentality, how much will to fight can you expect the soldiers under your command to have?!

Within five days of the attack, Lu Ju had already suffered more than 1,500 casualties, and he couldn't hold it out.

If Lu Ju's ability is strong enough, and the morale of the defenders is high enough, then even if the defenders suffer nearly fifty percent of the casualties, this Changsha County is not unable to hold on, but the reality is like this, and the casualties of the soldiers on LĂź's side are less than two percent, and the situation of unstable military morale has begun.

And Lu Yi himself has been sending military envoys outside the north gate for three days in a row, trying to ask Zhu Ran in Luo County for help.

Five days to defend the city, three times to send messengers for help. To a certain extent, Lu Ju is indeed incompetent.

After Zhu Ran received Lu Yi's distress letter, he almost went crazy.

Why did the Shu army directly surround Changsha County so quickly? !

That's your own grain and grass logistics base.

Lu Dai, Zhang Cheng, and even Lu Ju, are you all a bunch of rice buckets?!

Really, Zhu Ran really can't understand that even if his generals are a bunch of rice buckets, the nearly 40,000 Dongwu soldiers under these things can't all be rice buckets, right?!

The Shu army is not a divine soldier descending from heaven, how could it be that in this short period of less than a month, people hit Changsha County and besieged the city? !

This question, let alone Zhu Ran, even Zhang Xi and Pang Tong didn't expect it at all. The combat effectiveness of the South Road Division is a little too strong, right?!

When Zhang Xi and Pang Tong received a joint military report from Jiang Wei and Shi Bao, saying that they had now joined forces, with a total of more than 40,000 people, and were storming Changsha County, the grain land of the Eastern Wu Army, their expressions were actually no different from Zhu Ran.

It's all unbelievable.

Isn't this development a little too unexpected?!

Jiang Wei can defeat Lu Dai, Zhang Xi and Pang Tong have no doubt about this, but Jiang Wei defeated Lu Dai so neatly, and directly fought a defeat battle, and directly scattered nearly 20,000 Dongwu soldiers in the first battle. Zhang Xi and Pang Tong really didn't expect this.

If this is changed to fighting Cao Wei's army in the north, even if Jiang Wei can win, he will be entangled by the remnants of the Wei army, don't think about entering Changsha County so quickly.

The battle was defeated. Are the soldiers of Soochow so bad?!

And Shi Bao's soldiers and horses, really, whether it is Zhang Xi or Pang Tong, I really can't understand how Shi Bao did it.

This way from Lingling County to Changsha County, from Duliang County all the way to Changsha County, he Shibao almost pushed all the way, and in less than two months, swept most of Jingnan?!

Are we old, or are the young people of the present too powerful? Or, Soochow can't help fighting?!

Pang Tong really didn't understand, when he first saw Shi Bao in Jiangling, Pang Tong still felt that this newly promoted general was a little immature, but he didn't expect that as soon as he was released to lead the army alone, he actually gave such a big surprise.

And Zhang Xi's side is more receptive than Pang Tong. After all, in history, Lu Meng's sneak attack on Jingzhou was actually even more outrageous than Shi Bao's record this time.

Shi Bao's opponent is just Zhu Ran, Lu Kai, Zhang Chengzhi and others, and Lu Meng's opponent is Guan Yu.

No matter how Shi Bud did it, the military newspaper will not be fake, not to mention that Jiang Wei endorses it together.

These two people are now attacking Changsha County together, and if Changsha County is really the military food hoarding place of the Eastern Wu Army, then Changsha County will be defeated, and this Jingnan War will be over.

For this reason, what Zhang Xi has to do now is not to fight hard with Zhu Ran.

Zhang Xi immediately made adjustments to the siege that was now going on, suspending the siege and besieging the city instead.

North of Luo County, under the personal command of Pang Tong, supplemented by Zhou Tai, continued to maintain pressure on Luo County.

To the south of Luo County, Zhang Xi personally led 20,000 troops, made a detour, and guarded them personally.

The purpose is to cut off the possibility of Zhu Ran returning to Changsha and block Zhu Ran in Luo County.
