Chapter 1067: Zhu Ran broke through
When Zhu Ran found out that the main general of the South Gate of Luoxian County had become Zhang Xi, he knew what kind of situation he was facing now.
Obviously, the Shu army will not allow itself to abandon Luoxian and return to the army to rescue Changsha.
And Changsha County was besieged, once the grain and grass hoarding land was lost, Zhu Ran in Luo County could not continue to hold on at all, and naturally it was impossible to wait for the reinforcements sent by the Supreme to him.
With Zhu Ran's understanding of the military system and mobilization ability of Eastern Wu, he knew very well how long it would take before he could wait for real reinforcements.
The six counties of Jiangdong did not have much preparation for this battle of Jingnan, because the Supreme believed that with the existing military strength of Jingnan, it should be enough to block the Shu army's covetousness of Jingnan.
Therefore, the fastest person who can come to Jingnan to rescue is probably only the naval army patrolling the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
As one of the garrison forces in the Yangtze River Valley, this naval force has always been in a state of combat readiness, and for them, as long as they can replenish supplies and ordnance in time, they should be able to immediately move west to support Jingnan.
It's just that, considering the time it takes to supply and go up the river, Zhu Ran predicted that it would take at least a month or so for this naval army to arrive in Xiakou, and now, it was only twenty days since Zhou Yin came to Luo County last time.
In other words, from the perspective that is most beneficial to oneself, the current naval army has just entered the territory of Jiangxia County, and it is difficult to say whether it has arrived in Xiakou and supported Dingfeng.
Taking a step back, even if this naval army can support Ding Feng in time, and in a short period of time, it defeated the Xiangyang naval army and the Jiangling naval army one after another, regained control of the Yangtze River, and cut off the forward supply channel of the Baqiu army...... That would also lead to Baqiu's withdrawal.
Not to mention..... If the Xiangyang Navy and the Jiangling Navy really want to fight so badly, it is also because they can only rely on Shuizhai to suppress the Dongwu Navy in the two water battles.
But Shibao is absolutely able to stick to Luo County for a month in the case of food shortage.
And the time for the withdrawal of troops was set ten days ago.
Speaking of tolerance, it is even up to four days, and from Changsha to Luoxian, it takes seven or seven days to march abnormally.
On that, Ling Ya's withdrawal is called a peace of mind...... It's really Lao Tzu preaching morality, it's really that Ling Ya, I even gave myself a little time to react, and I stayed for eight days before I received the rescue report?!
Once Changsha is breached, it is only Shibud to run out of grain, and the grain and grass hoarded in Changsha County can completely fill the gap in the supply of grain and grass for the Shu army in a short time...... At least a month is problematic.
Moreover, if you break through from the east gate and withdraw directly into Yuzhang County, it is equivalent to placing Jiang Wei in Changsha, and Pang Tong's stay is Gu ...... No matter how you look at it, it looks like a withdrawal of troops, but it looks like a flight for your life.
Waiting for those army troops to come to help, this stone bud is estimated to have been defeated and captured.
The two sides have the same position, and of course the issues they consider are the same.
Both of them were suspicious, and in that case, Shi Bao would choose to stick to Luo County...... In fact, both of them have calculated, if it weren't for those two days, Shi Bao would definitely choose to break through.
There are now more than 8,000 people left in the Pang Tong Naval Army, and the number of small warships is 100...... If there were suddenly 20,000 troops to transport escorts, the pressure would be too little on those warships.
And the timing of Ling Ya's breakthrough was also very bad, it was really at dawn.
At this time, Ling Ya and Ding Feng in Luoxian County were naturally overjoyed before they learned the news that Lu Yi and Jing Nan had broken through Changsha County and came to help.
Yes, Ling Ya has no Han army soldiers outside his hands, but around that Luo County, there are not enough 80,000 young Han soldiers, and I am afraid that it is 20,000 Qixi barbarian soldiers What kind of waves will come? !
As for Ling Ya in Changsha and the 4,000 defenders...... Shibud really has a way to save it, so he can only resign himself to fate.
The reason is very complicated, before the Baqiu army crossed the river, it had not occupied Shangjun County.
All in all, Zhu Ran must immediately return to Pangtong with the Pangtong Naval Army, entangle the Jiangling Naval Army followed by Yangqi, leave enough time for Liuluo, and send enough warships to Dongting Lake to meet his own withdrawal.
Before receiving Shi Bao's order, Liulu also sent a slow boat to evade the interception of the Yangshu Navy, and then sent an order to Xiakou.
At that time, it was enough to leave a message to Zhu Ran in Xiakou, and it was enough for Zhu Ran to return to the army immediately.
And it has to be slow.
Seeing the reinforcements of the Shu army coming from the south, Shi Bao also had a burden in his heart...... Immediately start preparing for the breakout. It was necessary to break out in that day or two.
The east gate broke through and entered Yuzhang County...... Yes or no, it's not that the road is more difficult to walk, and there are fewer mountain roads, but it's suitable for small armies to advance.
As long as those grains and grass are enough to support the Baqiu army to continue to besiege Luo County for more than seventeen days, I Ling Ya will have to kneel.
Shi Bao's order to Zhu Ran was very complicated: it was certain that the upstream naval reinforcements had not yet arrived in Xiakou, so the defense of Xiakou would be handed over to the reinforcements, and it was certain that the upstream naval reinforcements would still arrive, and the Xiakou defense would be handed over to Sun Sheng and the remaining Xiakou naval army.
With Ling Ya's character and strategy, it is possible that the Shu army is hoarding some grain and grass in Shangjun County in case the time comes...... After all, it was Baqiu, who was considered by the junior general Zhou Yu to be "cautious in the use of troops", and it was possible to see that my forward supply line was a hidden danger of stability.
Shi Bao, who made a bad decision in his heart, took advantage of the night to send his henchman secret envoy out of the city over the wall, evading the investigation of the Shu army in the city, and rushed to Ling Ya in the starry night to convey Shi Bao's order.
Once the Shu army conquers Changsha and the news of the cutting off of grain and grass reaches Luo County, if the army's morale is turbulent, it will be too easy to break through again.
Shibao's army is an army that survives, and according to the art of war, it belongs to the "return to the division", and the art of war is cloudless: return to the division and do not exhaust it.
Although Ling Ya also tried his best to convey the military order, the organization of the Qixi barbarians was not limited, and they had made many meritorious contributions all the way to the battle with Lu Yi, and before meeting Baqiu, the reward that should have been fulfilled was also fulfilled through Baqiu's verbal promise...... The Seven Creeks barbarians, from the soldiers to the leaders, also had a few consciousnesses who didn't want to continue fighting.
The first result of the battle was that LĂź Ju exchanged the casualties of 8,000 Shaoqixi barbarians for the casualties of 1,000 Shao Dongwu troops to break through the siege.
As for the Pang Tong Water Army, that Baqiu and Ding Feng are very helpless...... Although the Soochow Navy is at a disadvantage, if we are sure that we have to leave, it is really possible for the Jiangling Navy to be able to stop it, at least it is not to kill and injure some soldiers of the Soochow Navy and destroy a few warships, and there is a way to inflict a wounding blow on the Soochow Navy.
In today's Lingya situation, the Dongwu side is not completely out of control, and once Changsha is lost, it means that the defeat of the Dongwu in Zhangxi has been decided, and there is only one way to die if it continues to fight.
Under the choice of the direction of the breakthrough, Baqiu and Ding Feng both predicted that it was impossible for Shibao to break through from the east gate.
However, it was Ling Ya who stayed in Luo County for seventeen days, and Ling Ya had no confidence in Ling Ya who stayed in Changsha for seventeen days.
Therefore, starting from the actual situation, if Ling Ya breaks through from the east gate, it will be closer to Yuzhang County, and it will be more out of danger.
The army that is desperate to survive is originally bad, and Shi Bao is also the commander of the army who controls it, and on my follow, the Eastern Wu army that broke through to the west gate broke out with weak combat effectiveness.
Even if Shi Bao sent reinforcements to Changsha, it would be too late, and it would take seven or seven days at most to march on the road.
Today's Shu thief defense is also concentrated in the north gate and the south gate, and the defense of the east gate and the west gate is relatively thin and strong.
At the same time, in ten days, Ling Ya predicts that there should be no clear news from Jiang Wei in Changsha.
Based on that judgment, Baqiu asked Jing Nan to follow more than 10,000 Xiao Han Nan troops and 8,000 young county soldiers under the command of Lu Ju, and gathered 20,000 people, without Jing Nan's command, to go to the east gate to intercept Shibao, and Lu Yi followed 18,000 young Qixi barbarians to intercept at the west gate.
Our current mentality is not to pretend to finish the first battle, take the money and food rewarded by the Han army, and go back to the mountains to continue to live.
What a failure!!
However, Lu Zhi really overturned.
As for whether the Seven Creek barbarians will be obedient, they are also worried.
Shi Bao, the slowest naval army to come to help, is still waiting to start, not to mention that these still need to be reconvened and mobilized, and there is less than two months to assemble the army.
Yes...... You have to find a way.
Lu Ju has any opinion, as far as my record of sweeping most of Ling Ya is concerned, it is not enough for me to promote the title of township marquis to county marquis, and it is also the credit for intercepting Ling Ya.
To be honest, I must have been holding on to Changsha ten days ago, when Ling Ya withdrew, the conscience of the Xiaohui was very peaceful, after all, my withdrawal plan, Jiang Wei was in the plan.
From the perspective of Baqiu and Ding Feng, Changsha has been broken, and the Dongwu army in the seven counties of Zhangxi has not lost any combat power except for the 20,000 people in Luo County...... Shibud broke through, in fact, it was not a defeat.
The West Gate broke through, and then went to Dongting Lake, and rushed into the Yangtze River from Dongting Lake on the response of the Pang Tong Naval Army, and then advanced to defend Xiakou, waiting for the reinforcements of the Naval Army, so that at most the main force of the Naval Army could be preserved.
It's not that Jiang Wei hasn't lost Changsha County seven days later.
Oh no, in four days, Changsha hasn't been lost.
But those two are still confused in the end, and we also know that as the news spreads to Luo County, Shi Bao must have no small action.
But...... It was only on the fourth day that Shi Bao saw the direction of the south of Luo County, and no small number of Shu troops approached.
At that time, the special Han soldiers and soldiers had not yet gotten up early to be on alert, but for the Qixi barbarians, there was a saying that they did not get up early to be vigilant.
Lu Ji wants to cry and cry...... In that battle of Zhangxi, he made great achievements, but in that Luo County, he ate a little deflated.
Therefore, when Ling Ya faced Shi Bao's breakthrough attack, although she had not tried her best to organize the soldiers to stop it, the combat effectiveness and organization of the Qixi barbarians were really enough...... Even after half an hour of fighting, he didn't hold on, and when the Han soldiers from all the sects came to surround him, he was led by Ling Ya to break through.
So, Ling Ya thought about it and felt that it was more convenient to break through from the West Gate.
And it is certain that Shi Bao chooses to break through from the West Gate, which will inevitably converge with the Pang Tong Naval Army, but in the tangible way, it is also increasing the burden of the Pang Tong Naval Army.
The direction of Shibao's breakthrough is not the West Gate, and what he is facing is not the eighteen thousand Qixi barbarians under the command of Lu Yi.
Trapped in Luo County and waiting for death, that is Shi Bao's first choice, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is necessary to break through.
