Chapter 640 Huainan, the all-out Northern Expedition war, started-
In Huainan, a battle of Jiangdong soldiers attacking the north in an all-round way has begun.
Cao Wei's Huainan soldiers were proud.
Because they have experienced the "800 to 100,000" Xiaoyaojin War led by General Zhang Wenyuan, which is destined to be praised for thousands of years-
It is precisely based on this that even if the news of the fall of Luoyang came, even in the face of the menacing Jiangdong soldiers, many cities and counties still chose to open the city to attack the enemy.
It seems that, in their opinion, these Jiangdong soldiers who do not know whether they are alive or dead are destined to be vulnerable.
They are waiting for work again, and they can't be weak in momentum!
Thereupon...
Overnight, "dong dong dong" the entire Huainan, countless cities and counties resounded with deafening drums.
On the other hand, those Jiangdong sons who went north, in their army... Faintly began to come out uninterruptedly, the sound of "bells, bells, bells".
Immediately afterwards, the attacking side seemed to have bombed the camp, more like the New Year.
"My army has arrived, and Xiaoxiao Shucheng still dares to go out of the city to fight? Hehe... It just so happens that since the defeat of us and the return to the Han army, there is a lack of a stand-up meritorious service! ”
He Qi pointed to the Shucheng Wei army roaring out in front of him.
Jiang Qin raised his eyebrows, happy, "I thought that in the face of our surprise attack, Shucheng would be strong and clear, like this, this city... It's hard for us to take it down, so... Zijing to you、My task is just to cut off the connection between Shucheng and Hefei.,Okay now... It turned out that Zijing was negligent, the keeper of this Shucheng was Xu Yi, the son of the tiger idiot Xu Chu, who heard the bad news of his father's death, it seems that he has been delirious, so just right, no need to cut it off, you and I can attack it together! ”
When he said this, Jiang Qin grinned loudly, "Come on, take the general's mirror armor and helmet, as well as the compound bow sent by the Shuishui Villa... General Ben is trying to test the power of this bow! ”
He Qi also said, "I heard that General Guan beheaded that Xu Chu, today... Just you, I will kill this Xu Yi, and it can be regarded as helping them, so that the father and son can reunite under Jiuquan! ”
He Qi and Jiang Qin said so.
The soldiers behind them were cheering, jumping three feet high excitedly, as if... When they saw the enemy army out of the city, they were even more excited than the main general.
In fact...
It's no wonder that they are so, Huainan, that's where salt mines are buried, where there are rich "limestone", "dolomite", "phosphate rock", "potassium-bearing rocks" ...
These things... Once excavated, I have no doubt... Meaning great wealth!
And now the major clans of Soochow, each of them is already an alliance...
In order to take Huainan and share these resources, they promised their subordinates "heavy profits".
The head of a Wei pawn is one or two pieces of gold, three pieces of cloth, and half an acre of land.
But... In order to prevent someone from snatching heads, the method adopted is to count all the heads together, and then divide them according to different ranks and proportions according to the vanguard army, the middle army, and the rear army.
So...
There are 4,000 defenders of Lujiang Wei, where are the 4,000 people, and this special meow is the moving 4,000 taels of gold, 12,000 pieces of cloth, and 2,000 acres of land.
The most important thing is that these are only the rewards set by the Soochow clan, and they do not include... Guan Lin's reward, Guan Yu's reward, Liu Bei's reward.
That's a windfall!
Since the fight, the main task of the major clans in Jiangdong has become "finding ore veins", and after setting a huge reward.
The soldiers of the entire Jiangdong are bitter.
Who doesn't cry?
The reward is on the surface, written on the notice, but... If you don't fight, no matter how much reward you promise, it won't be of any use!
How boring!
Therefore, everyone is holding back a lot of strength in their hearts, and now they can finally give it a go, the key is that they still dare to come out?
Oh yes, these 4,000 people... But if one of them is let go, they are sorry for the wealth and reward of the heavens.
Seeing the eagerness of the soldiers behind him, Jiang Qin was shocked, but he still maintained the prestige of the general, he shouted loudly, "Calm down, don't panic, the bow and arrow are in front, the crossbow is in the middle, and the foot soldiers are behind, wait for them to enter the firing range, shoot a round first, and then charge, who dares to move forward, military law is ruthless!" ”
Jiang Qin was still yelling.
He Qi had already noticed that the Wei army had entered the firing range, and most of the cavalry that came out of this wave were like... They want to use it to wait for work, taking advantage of the unstable foothold on the side of Jiangdong soldiers... Attack with cavalry and take the lead.
It's a pity...
Alas...
He Qi couldn't help but feel sorry for Wei Jun, and also for Xu Chu's son Xu Yi...
In fact, wrath... Nothing is of use to the eggs!
Anger will only make you lose your mind, and you will lose a lot!
With this in mind, He Qi took a deep breath, and then, with a lively spirit, shouted, "Pull the strings, archers, shoot-"
Whoosh –
The sound of breaking the sky resounded, and the "compound big bow" sent by the water villa... Destined for this night:
- will be generous!
…
…
Lu'an County, which is west of Hefei and south of Shouchun, is a city and county that can be run up to Xuzhou by waterway.
This night... It is also undergoing an extremely dangerous raid.
The night is dark and the wind is high, and the night of murder -
It's still this night... Zhou Xun and Zhou Jun's Zhou family fleet directly attacked Cao Wei's naval army outside Hefei and started a big battle in "Shishui".
Just when Hefei went all out to block these Jiangdong naval forces from Chaohu Lake and Weixu.
Another army went up from the Lujiang River, bypassing Shucheng and directly attacking Lu'an west of Hefei!
The defender of Lu'an is also famous, but he is the son of the evil of the past - Dianman!
In the face of the sudden surprise attack of the Jiangdong Army... Like his father, he did not choose to defend it, but directly hardened it.
"Today, one hundred and fifty of them died under my halberd—"
In his eyes, there was murderous energy.
The soldiers beside him were brave and looked at the pawn with admiration... But no one questioned his words in the slightest.
After all, there is a father who is evil in the past, and he is in Huainan, where 800 warriors have created a record that has never been seen before or since, and he has the confidence... It's still there.
On the other hand, on the other side... Sun Shao and Tai Shixiang silently watched the battlefield.
I also saw the city gate of Lu'an County open, and Dian Man rushed out with a cadre of Wei troops.
"I heard that the enemy will be the son of the ancient evil Dian Wei, and his name is Dian Man... Oh, the son of a famous general who is not brave enough to be brave! ”
Sun Shao said with emotion.
Tai Shixiang snorted coldly, then mentioned his war halberd, and said lightly, "It seems that whose father is not the courage of ten thousand people?" ”
Oh, yes...
You are the son of the ancient evil Laidianwei, these two... Their father is still the little overlord Sun Bofu, the god of war in Eastern Wu and Tai Shici, the first marksman in Jiangdong!
"Don't get excited..."Sun Shao advised Tai Shixiang, "Let this Dianman go a little deeper... He's about to go into the encirclement! ”
Listening to Sun Shao's words, Tai Shixiang squinted, and the corners of his mouth showed a little sarcasm.
"Like his father, but he's just a puppet, not enough to worry about..."
Soon...
The soldiers of the Wei army entered the encirclement, and the Jiangdong disciples who were almost equal to the strength of the army were also killed.
And because the troops are the same... Therefore, the role of encirclement is not obvious, and it can be described as a narrow encounter.
Can...
Exactly like the soldiers and horses of He Qi and Jiang Qin over there, the Jiangdong children here are also "screaming" one by one, as if all the muscles in the body are jumping, and the sound of "buzzing" in their heads is inexplicable... There is a feeling that you are about to get rich.
O gold;
O earth;
Cloth—
These tangible things make every Jiangdong child excited.
Dian Man was also very excited, although he had a father who had the reputation of ancient evil, but over the years, his performance in Cao Wei was mediocre, and what he lacked was merit!
If under the premise of the Luoyang rout, he can repel these Jiangdong rats, then there is no doubt... He will be reused by the King of Wei, and will no longer be just a guard general, delegated to the locality.
Call... Call...
A heavy exhalation sounded, and Dianman also gasped heavily.
That's when ...
"Kill—"
With the sound of the surrounding trees, the Jiangdong Army began a surprise attack, and a big battle was about to break out.
Because this battlefield is a forest, the role of crossbowmen is not great, soldier against soldier, general against general, this is the contrast of hard power between the two sides.
"Make a contribution, just today..."
Sun Shao gave an order, and Tai Shixiang took the lead...
The children of Jiangdong completely ignored the words "meritorious service".
In fact, at this time, this kind of pie is far less real than the "reward" corresponding to each head.
- "Gold, earth, cloth..."
Thinking in his heart, he had more strength in his grip on the spear.
Thinking of these real rewards, for a while, the fear and trepidation of these Jiangdong sons and daughters in this Huainan land were gone, and they were replaced by a pair of green lights.
Just like - the tiger is out of the cage!
…
…
Hefei has been east, Feidong County.
Here is the siege commanded by Lu Dai, Sun Jiao, and Su Fei... In addition to them, the tribes of the four major families of Huiji, Yu, Wei, Kong, and Xie are also Qi Zhi.
——Circumference three missing one...
It was still a cliché siege strategy, Lü Dai, Sun Jiao, and Su Fei attacked the main gate, Yu and Wei attacked the west gate, and Kong and Xie attacked the east gate.
The Metropolitan Governor Lu Su was also here, personally commanding the command.
When night fell, the afterglow of the sky was obscured by the thick smoke of gunpowder, and the whole city was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.
The siege had been going on for half a day, and the defenders on the walls were exhausted, but they still held their positions and defended the safety of the city with their lives.
It's just that...
Outside the city, the offensive of the Jiangdong Army became more and more fierce.
The sound of war drums, shouts, and the "whoosh" of arrows are intertwined to form a breathtaking piece of music.
Siege engines, ladders, catapults, Lu buses, Thunderbolt crossbows...
A series of siege machines... Constantly throwing into the battlefield, constantly approaching the city wall.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
The drums thunder!
"Bang, bang..."
Crashing into the wood... Every impact at the city gate caused the defenders on the city walls to feel a palpitation.
The defender here is a cautious general, and in the face of the enemy's surprise attack, he did not choose to take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold, and took the initiative to attack, starting with many people...
He took a conservative defensive.
It's just that even the defenders fought hard, brandishing their weapons and constantly throwing rolling logs and stones, trying to stop the attack of Jiangdong.
However, the number of enemy troops was so great that they came like a tidal wave, wave after wave, as if there was no end.
The battle has also entered a phase of increasing heat...
Outside the city, where the Chinese army is.
"The Grand Governor..."
A herald reported to Lu Su, "After nearly a day's rapid attack, the three city gates have not been broken, and our army has lost... Also... It's not a tragedy! ”
Oh, yes...
Even if there is a brand-new "siege equipment" provided by the Shui Villa, since ancient times, siege warfare... It's never easy to fight!
Lu Dai listened to this battle report, and couldn't help frowning, "Dadu Governor, are we going to fight again slowly, let the soldiers withdraw and rest for a day..."
"No!" Lu Su squinted his eyes and stared at the crumbling Feidong City under the countless torches, and he said categorically: "It is very difficult for us to attack the city, and it is extremely difficult for the enemy to defend the city. Whose tribe will be the first to break through the city... I, Lu Zijing, must truthfully report to the prince of Yunqi, this salt mine and strange stone in the corner of Huainan, their family's share can be doubled! ”
"No—"
With Lu Su's orders, the herald... Immediately rode away.
Lu Su continued to instruct: "General Lu Fan, you take over from Su Fei and General Sun Jiao... The pressure on this main gate must continue until the time of the breakdown! ”
"Yes..."Lu Dai arched his hand, and was about to ask his troops to go to the front line, when he suddenly thought of something, he quickly turned around, "Dadu Governor, if my soldiers go to the city first?" That... The salt mines and strange stones in the corner of Huainan also have one more copy in my family! ”
Facing Lu Dai's words, Lu Su's cheeks... His expression didn't change in the slightest, he just waved his hand, "This, it's easy to say, I can promise to come down for Yunqi Gongzi!" ”
"Okay—"
Now, Lu Dai didn't want to be more energetic.
Yes, in this day and age... As long as there is money, food, and resources, you can buy as much as you want.
Can... Huainan's salt mines, limestone, dolomite, phosphate rock... These things are priceless, and that's a cornucopia!
Today, a... In order to achieve the goal, no matter how many people die, they must be taken-
Take it, take it—
Shortly after Lu Fan left.
"Newspaper..."
Another messenger arrived, "Governor, East and West... The major clans are almost attacking with all their might, and there is no reservation..."
"Where's the main entrance?" Lu Su hurriedly asked.
"General Lü Dai personally called Lü Gongche, and he took the lead to attack the city... The morale of the army is infected, and the enemy army will not be able to resist! ”
With this last sentence coming...
Whew-
Lu Su couldn't help but gasp with relief, his eyes narrowed, still looking at the main battlefield, but his heart was muttering.
"Yunqi, you don't know the art of war, but you understand people's hearts, and you understand people's greed!"
In fact...
Not only is it people's greed, Guan Lin knows that people... For a long period of time, it is often accompanied by an unwillingness!
…
…
Hefei City, in the middle of the government office, a huge map unfolded.
Zhang Liao, Xue Yi... There is also a group of civil and military officers of Wei Huainan gathered here, everyone's expression was extremely solemn, and everyone's eyes were staring at the marked "firefight" places in the map.
Oh, my God...
Who would have thought that the Jiangdong Army and Jiangdong warships, which had been lying dormant for several months on the banks of the Yangtze River, would suddenly launch a surprise attack on the entire Huainan overnight.
Whether it is Lu'an, Deyang, and Shucheng north of the Lujiang River, or Feidong, Dongcheng, and Quanjiao east of Hefei... More than seven counties, more than 30 counties, were in a comprehensive emergency overnight.
Even Chaohu Lake leads to Hefei waterway.
The warships are densely packed, and the Jiangdong naval army is launching a general attack on his Great Wei naval army... The battle was fierce and the battle situation was erosive.
"Newspaper... General Zhang, traces of enemy troops have been found near Lu'an..."
"Report, General Zhang, Quanjiao City has fallen..."
"Report, General Zhang, Feidongcheng asked for help, saying that it was the main force of the enemy army, if there is no support, I am afraid it will not last long..."
"Newspaper... General Zhang..."
Military reports sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, making Zhang Liao overwhelmed, and a cadre of deputy generals, including Xue Yi of the Central Protector Army, also looked solemn.
Speaking of which, the Great Wei only had 60,000 or 70,000 troops and horses deployed in Huainan, but according to the available information, Jiangdong is afraid that there are more than 100,000 troops!
Lakh?
Since the first battle of Sun Quan Xiaoyaojin, Jiangdong has never gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses.
Alone, those big clans in Jiangdong will not cooperate! This is also the reason why Cao Wei's side has always had nothing to fear when occupying Huainan...
But now it's different!
The ghost knows, how did Jiangdong gather so many people in such a short period of time after the fall of Eastern Wu, and let so many big clans work together in such a short time, and all obey his Guan Lin's dispatch...
How can the group of rats in Jiangdong suddenly have the courage to dare to embark on this journey in Huainan again?
Aren't they afraid?
A nightmare in Xiaoyaojin? Have they passed?
He? What kind of magic did he Guan Lin use? Solved all the problems in Koto?
A series of questions came out of Zhang Liao's mind...
He couldn't find the answer, he could only sigh:
- "Demon... It's so wicked!'
Call... Call...
With the urgent reports coming over one by one, Zhang Liao was always panting.
A mouthful of atmosphere... Constant spitting.
But he, the commander here, must show that Mount Tai has collapsed in front of him and his face has not changed...
He took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked, "Where are our reinforcements?" As early as before Jiangdong sent troops, didn't General Ben send an urgent letter to Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Nanyang, and Yanzhou to send reinforcements to support? It has been two full days since Jiangdong attacked, but what about our reinforcements? ”
"Reinforcements... I'm afraid it won't come. Xue Yi gritted his teeth, his expression was extremely ugly, and he explained helplessly: "Luoyang has been lost, Guan Yu and the Jingzhou army have been stationed in Luoyang, the next step... He is afraid that he will take the tiger prison, and he will attack Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou... Now at this time, everyone in these three states is in danger, who will come to help? Wen Yuan... General Wenyuan, now in Huainan, we... We're on our own! ”
This...
This...
Although Xue Yi's words are not good, there is no doubt that this is the truth.
Zhang Liao must also accept this fact, the land of Huainan... They were left on their own.
"That..."
Zhang Liao opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, all the words... I swallowed it all back into my stomach.
What else can be said?
The only way to fight to the death is to fight!
"General Wenyuan..."Xue Yi opened his mouth again, "For today's situation, the general must prepare in advance, if... I mean, if Huainan can't hold it, then the general needs to plan the retreat in advance and keep as many troops and horses as possible! Cannot... Don't make any more unnecessary sacrifices! ”
Call...
With a heavy voice, Xue Yi's words... Like a big mountain, it pressed his Zhang Liao's body, which made him a little breathless.
Can...
Even if it is according to Xue Yi's words, retreat? Where can they retreat?
If Hefei falls, can Shouchun still be saved? The whole Huainan is lost? Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou... will be completely exposed to the soldiers of the Jiangbei Expedition.
That... Then the entire Great Wei started from here, and from this weakest link, a huge hole was poked out!
When the time comes... At that time, it is bound to fall and the edifice will fall!
Call... Call...
Thinking of this, Zhang Liao's exhalation became harder, and his mood became more complicated.
He couldn't even think further...
If you really want to think about it like this, Wei... That's it!
Finally, after a short period of silence, Zhang Liao held his head high, his gaze was resolute, and his tone was categorical, "Before the king's edict is issued, this Huainan cannot be lost..."
"This group of Jiangdong rats, they want to occupy the land of Huainan, unless they step on my Zhang Liao's corpse—"
Absolutely...
Zhang Liao's last words were like dying words, resolute, resolute, and fearless!
