Chapter 119: Forced Landing
"Lu Meng has entered the net, military advisor, we should also go! Otherwise, after a long time, we will be plagued by the Jiangdong Army, and those altars and jars will be lost, but we will lose ourselves! β
Just when Mi Fang was 'violently beaten' by Geng Ji because of the 'surrender of the city', Maicheng, which is only more than 50 miles away from Jiangling, in the eyes of outsiders, Liu Chan, who had already led the army north to Xiangfan to support the second master, also received a secret report from the Sky Net spy with a flying pigeon for the first time.
"Haha, don't worry, there is Mi Zifang staring at it, and it won't be harmful. But is it too early to close the net now, why don't you just wait for Sun Quan, a big fish, to enter the net before collecting it? In this way, it will be much easier to sweep Jiangdong at that time! β
Hearing that Liu Chan was going to return to Jiangling now, Pang Tong put forward a suggestion to wait for Sun Quan so that he could capture the thief and capture the king first.
"Forget it, you can't chew too much, and you still have to eat the rice in one bite. What's more, at this time, the second uncle and Shi Zai have already started fighting, and they can't hide how long Sun Quan and Lu Meng will be. If Lu Meng slips away because of this, the gains outweigh the losses! β
Shaking his head, Liu Chan gave up Pang Tong's tempting suggestion to capture the thief and capture the king first, and still decided to act according to the original plan.
You must know that although Sun Quan went to Jingzhou in person in the original plot, it was based on the situation that Jingzhou's 'overall situation has been decided'.
But this time, it was Liu Chan who took the initiative to lure the enemy, and there was no time for Lu Meng to 'determine the overall situation'. Therefore, if you insist on changing the plan temporarily, it is a waste of increasing the risk.
What's more, Liu Chan was also extremely worried about Cao Cao, who was restrained by his father in Hanzhong at this time.
After all, unlike the situation in the original history when the second master didn't even really win Xiangfan, this time not only Xiangpan was in his hands, but even the entire Nanyang was recovered by the second master.
It is conceivable that when Cao Cao knew the news, he would definitely give up Hanzhong and return to the Central Plains immediately like the original plot. If possible, he will lead a large army to invade the south to fight for Nanyang.
Therefore, under various factors, Liu Chan still decided to eat the tens of thousands of elite people in Jiangdong first, and then take advantage of the momentum of the big victory to drive straight into Jiangdong.
β¦β¦
"Order the whole army, order all the soldiers to rest in place, and after half an hour, the army will take the sister and take the defenders in one fell swoop!"
Just when Liu Chan was about to lead the 10,000 troops who had previously 'supported' the second master to return to Jiangling from Maicheng, Lu Xun, who led the 5,000 Jiangdong army to attack his sister's return in a hilly valley about ten miles east of his sister's return, also issued a final rest order to the sergeants at this moment, and then prepared to take down the 'unaware' sister return in one go, cutting off Liu Chan and the second master's return route back to Yizhou.
"Hahahaha, no Lauber...... Brother Boyan is the big brother, and the younger brother has ...... already in this ...... It's been a long wait! β
However, just as Lu Xun's words fell, accompanied by a loud laugh, I saw that on the slopes on both sides of the hill where there were no ambushes after the scouts' search, countless Jingzhou soldiers with complete armor and crossbows suddenly appeared.
"Deng Ai!"
Hearing this familiar iconic stammering sound, Lu Xun, who secretly screamed in his heart, didn't need to look at it to know that the person who came was the hairy boy who made him suffer a big loss in Panyu at the beginning.
"Wen Jue, retreat!"
didn't have time to think about why Deng Ai, who was supposed to be stationed in Cangwu, appeared here, so Lu Xun hurriedly gave the order to withdraw the troops.
"Hahahaha, Brother Boyan, you and I count...... I haven't seen it for years, why is it like this...... In such a hurry to leave? β
Looking at Lu Xun, who turned around and withdrew in panic and wanted to escape, Deng Ai couldn't help but laugh out loud again.
It's just that Deng Ai didn't order to chase, but just looked in the direction of Taniguchi, where Lu Xun fled. Needless to say, in this case, it would be strange if there was no ambush at the mouth of the valley.
"Woo Woo Woo ......"
Sure enough, just when Lu Xun and Pan Zhang led the frightened Jiangdong army to a place that was only a hundred and ten steps away from the valley mouth, with a sharp sound of breaking the air, they saw a black and oppressive arrow suddenly pounce on them like a raging storm.
It turned out that at some point, a Jingzhou army with a number of about 2,000 had already sealed their retreat when they came.
"Be careful!"
Looking at the dense arrows like rain, he didn't have time to think about it, Pan Zhang jumped up from the war horse and pounced on Lu Xun beside him.
"Puff puff!"
In the blink of an eye, just when Lu Xun was just thrown off his horse by Pan Zhang, with the sound of dense blades like rain hitting bananas, the Jiangdong sergeant who retreated like a torrent suddenly hit an invisible wall, and was forcibly stopped by the continuous rain of arrows of the Jingzhou army.
"Kill !!"
Soon, after a few rounds of arrow rain, accompanied by a loud roar, under the leadership of a fierce general with a bloody face and prominent blue eyes, two thousand Jingzhou troops who replaced their bows and crossbows were then held with swords and shields, and with the momentum of Mount Tai pressing the top, they slowly pressed towards the panicked Jiangdong Army in a neat formation, forcing the Jiangdong Army with no morale to retreat to the previous valley again.
β¦β¦
"Brother Boyan, now you are ...... Already in a desperate situation, or lay down your arms and throw yourself into ...... Surrender! Everybody's ...... The big Han people, the younger brother doesn't want to ...... more Kill more! β
In the valley, Deng Ai, who had already led the sergeants from the top of the slope to the halfway slope and blocked the exit at the other end of the valley, looked at Lu Xun, who was supported by the guards because of an arrow in the thigh, but waved his hand to stop the sergeants from continuing to attack.
Because of Pan Zhang's desperate protection, Lu Xun, who originally rushed to the front, picked up a life under the protection of the guards who came later. However, Pan Zhang was not so lucky, even if he was wearing armor, he was shot into a hedgehog and killed on the spot!
"Deng Ai, you ...... Aren't you in the cangwu? How can it be ...... And know the route of our march? β
Ignoring Deng Ai's persuasion, Lu Xun, who had a strong bad premonition in his heart, asked him the doubts in his heart with an urgent face.
"Brother Boyan still remembers...... Remember the little brother, the little brother is really honored...... It's a pleasure! As for how to know...... Knowing that Brother Boyan is here, haha, since Ru Jiangdong had the idea of attacking my Jingzhou again, my son-in-law has ...... You'll find out! β
At this time, there is no need to worry about the fish coming out of the net, so Deng Ai naturally has nothing to hide.
"What a Liu Adou, what a good means!"
Hearing the sound and knowing the sound, although Deng Ai did not say in detail, he was also one of the four major governors of Jiangdong in the original history. At this time, how could Lu Xun not understand that this time the entire Jiangdong thought that the secret sneak attack plan was just a joke in Liu Chan's eyes!
"Lu Xun, are you descending or not?"
Just when Lu Xun was still shocked that the plan to attack Jingzhou fell into Liu Chan's calculations, accompanied by a loud roar, he saw that the fierce general with a bloody face and prominent blue eyes couldn't wait.
"You are the barbarian king of Wuxi...... Samaha? β
Looking at the vicious generals with tattoos on their bare skin occasionally between the armor in front of him, and then looking at the fierce Jingzhou soldiers around him who had the same tattoos as him, a sense of realization suddenly rose from Lu Xun's heart.
"You little white face, Lao Tzu has long been no longer a barbarian king, can't you see that Lao Tzu is also Han now?"
Hearing Lu Xun's name as his barbarian king, he had already truly regarded himself as a Han person, and Sha Maha, who was proud of being a Han person, couldn't help but turn pale, and his already vicious face suddenly became even more fierce.
"Haha, it seems that Brother Boyan's news is a bit closed...... Occluded. Now I'm a big man ...... early There is no more ...... Wuxi barbarians, and neither does General Sha...... It's no longer a barbarian king, but I'm a big man...... The lieutenant general of the flying army is the deputy commander! β
Just when Sha Maha was still angry at Lu Xun's lack of eyesight, I don't know when, Deng Ai also came to the front of the two armies.
"What? Wuxi is not ...... Gone? β
After getting the affirmation of Sha Mahe and Deng Ai one after another, Lu Xun, who originally thought that Sha Mahe was just a temporary rescuer in Jingzhou, was really dumbfounded.
You know, this Wuxi man has always been rebellious. Now it's so silently gone, who can believe it?
"The so-called five...... Wuxi Man is already the same as my Han people...... Born in the same vein, now recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors, and re-...... Why not return to the Han Dynasty? β
Looking at Lu Xun with a bewildered face, Deng Ai, who clearly knew the process of Liu Chan's subduation of Wuxi Man, of course wanted to stand up for Sha Maha and a group of soldiers who were not in charge of the flying army.
"Wuxi Man, Wudang Feijun, understood, I understood! Liu Adouguo is very human, but we look down on him too much! β
Knowing that Liu Chan actually turned Wuxi Barbarians into Han Chinese, this made Lu Xun, who had participated in the expedition to suppress the Shanyue barbarians many times, suddenly couldn't help but sigh.
"You little white face, if you want to descend, you will fall, if you want to fight, what are you doing so much?"
Just when Lu Xun was still sighing for Liu Chan, who had turned into a man who had been extremely successful, there was another dissatisfied questioning voice from Sha Maha's ears.
"Drop or not, drop or not......"
Hearing Sha Maha's questioning, a group of soldiers from the Wudang Flying Army also followed and shouted at this moment. In an instant, the deafening sound of forced landing questioning immediately shook the sky.
"Alas, let the sergeants lay down their weapons!"
Looking at the well-armored and high-morale Wudang Feijun around him, and then looking at the frightened and demoralized Jiangdong troops around him, in the end, Lu Xun could only give the order to surrender the whole army with a helpless and guilty face.
"Brother Bo Yan's defeat is not a battle...... There is no need to be guilty of sin. And those who surrender at this moment are ...... It's not Brother Boyan alone. If the younger brother ...... As expected, I'm afraid to ...... at this moment I'm afraid even if it's the governor of LΓΌ...... I also have to consider whether to surrender my son-in-law, hahahaha! β
Looking at Lu Xun with a look of helplessness and guilt, when he called the sergeant to heal and bandage his wounds, Deng Ai laughed and looked at the direction of Jiangling in the east.
