Chapter 122: Take Chu County lightly
On the night of September 15, on the Yangtze River dozens of miles upstream of Guangling.
Relying on the glimmer of the full moon, the three fighting ships and dozens of ships maintained an orderly formation and marched against the current, heading towards Tangyi County at the mouth of the Tushui River.
Zhang Fei, who is not good at water warfare, stood on the bow of the largest fighting ship, looked up at the bright moon at the zenith, and was secretly happy in his heart.
When preparing for the war a while ago, Zhang Fei only gathered a little bit of soldiers and horses, and immediately wanted to launch an offensive.
But Mr. Zhuge took time out of his busy schedule to persuade him to be serious, saying that if he wanted to hurry, he would not be able to reach it, and he would have to press it to this day.
At this moment, Zhang Fei completely understood why - on the river, warships are not allowed to light torches, and they all sail in the dark, so they really have to wait for the full moon night to take into account the formation and order.
If you attack on the night of the first quarter moon, the soldiers are not skilled enough to handle the boat. Either the formation is scattered and cannot be rushed to the battlefield at the same time, or it is too dense and prone to collision and loss.
How can it be like this, not hurried, and hidden enough.
Just after the ugly hour, the fleet had already sailed into the mouth of the Tushui River.
The county seat of Tangyi is still a few miles away from the mouth of the river, but there is also a dock town outside the city, directly by the river. There was no formed garrison in the town, only a beacon tower at the mouth of the river, and the upper tower was hopeful.
It is certain that Zhang Feijun crossed the Yangtze River from Moling, and the first thing he faced was not Sun Cezhi's Tangyi.
"You wait for your wishes! The general spares his life! ”
The captives who fled back gasped and cried: "County Jun! It's Sima, it's Zhang Fei! Zhang Fei has not yet voted for the imperial court...... You mean the Han Dynasty, which accepted the title of rebellious general!
As Ma Hong went down the wall, a copper hammer slammed down, and more than a dozen Ma Hong fell down one after another, among which there was not a Qu Junhou and two tun chiefs.
However, just when Ma Hong was preparing, in the direction of Chuxian County downstream, Ma Hong had another accident.
It's a pity that there are too many of us, there are only a few dozen, and a small number of them are still sleeping, and only one or four people who are on duty at night are watching, and those people have no way to organize resistance.
"Why is Zhang Fei so determined? You withdrew after a little resistance? Did I make a bad preparation, but I just planned to bluff and make a forced landing, seeing that you were resolute and afraid of staying for a long time and dreaming less, so I withdrew? ”
The marquis guarding the gate also reported to Yuan Jun, saying that it should be true, because we also saw the firelight of the riverside beacon at the mouth of the Tushui River a quarter of an hour later.
So I want to be weak first, so that when Sima Yuan Shuzhi attacks His Majesty, I can also fall into the well and grab the territory! ”
"You are the rebellious general of Sun! Your general learned that the thief Yuan had rebelled against the Han Dynasty and stood on his own, and he had not yet drawn a line with this thief and accepted the canonization of the imperial court! The court ordered you to fight against Sima and fight against him!
It was this group of enemy troops who came to a distance, but they didn't seem to have any hostile intentions. It's just that a ship was sent out first, waving a white flag to summon the message.
"How bad is that? How bad is that? They will defend the city first, and you will think about it! I will think of a way before dawn, but I haven't done it yet, so I immediately sent someone to the Zhou County Command in front to ask for help! Ah, yes! It is to be able to ask for help from Zhou County! I heard that Zhang Fei and I had no fateful friends, so they sent people to bypass Chuxian and go over the mountains to Hefei for help! ”
"Could it be that the defenders of Chuxian County still dare to come to reinforce Tangyi? It's bad! It is good to annihilate it in the field battle, and it is necessary to save the siege before the city! ”
Lu Da waved his hand very uncertainly: "It's to worry about those, Tangyi County, at least one or two thousand soldiers and horses are stationed, and the city wall is only a foot low."
While reporting, Jun Ma Hong also said worriedly: "General Zhang, those people may not be really convinced, you see that we don't want to escape back to the city!" Is it really bad to let us go? Will it make the city more difficult to attack? ”
"Do you know which Captain Zhang under the command of General Sun led the troops here? You are the men and horses of Chu Ling Zhou Yu, and you have come to attack Tangyi by the general! Please come out for a conversation! ”
Yuan Jun was dumbfounded when he heard it in the city, but my voice was too loud, so I only let a few scolders relay in unison: "Have you colluded with Zhang Fei!" Ma Hongwu betrayed His Majesty very much...... betrayed Sun Ce and accepted the canonization of the imperial court! I came to attack you in the middle of the night! ”
Lu Da scolded angrily: "Those nonsense, let's go to Taishan Mansion to talk about it!" Besiege! ”
……
At the same time, in Tangyi City, the county commander Ma Hong was sleeping soundly, but was suddenly woken up by the servants, saying that there was no military situation to postpone the report.
But I know that the reason why the defenders lost those psychological advantages and were willing to defend to the end was completely caused by the scene I staged in the early morning - at that time, the Tangyi defenders withstood a wave of retreat from "Ma Hong", but their morale was slightly boosted, and they thought they were doing it again. When I met Ma Hongdong that time, I thought I could hold on.
Compared with the simple ladder, the soldiers almost did not rush down the wall at an 80-degree elevation angle at the end of the front, which could free up both hands to hold the weapon, and the effect was less different from the siege towers in the west.
Although I am only a county commander, I observe the situation of the surrounding enemy every day, and it is still very vague.
Lu Da was angry that Liu Bei knew whether he knew life or death, and he actually surrendered directly, and he was particularly ruthless when he started, my kind of fierce general, who is known for his great strength, did not spare his hands when using heavy weapons, and this deterrent was naturally extraordinary.
But no matter what, I still sent another messenger to deliver the latest postponement to the front, and updated all the new situations.
This Han army soldier Yuan Shu also pretended to see our intentions, but just gave a few more orders:
Ma Hongyi smashed a copper hammer under the buttress of the men's wall, and the rubble flew, so he picked up Yuan Jun and scolded angrily: "I knew this was the case, how could I surrender earlier!" Tie up, first attack Chu County with you! ”
Ma Hong wants to fight now, this is counting on sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and waiting for Cao Cao to cut the main force of Yuan and the thief first! By the time I do it, they'll only be worse than they are now! Go ahead! ”
Of course, when Lu Dabu was acting, if the focus was the same, we weakly emphasized that "because Zhang Fei was worried about being isolated, his determination was very small, please resist, otherwise he would definitely die." As for whether the key points of the relayed by the released captives before hearing it were not deviated, Lu Da didn't care about it.
As soon as these words came out, none of the commanders and two team leaders among the prisoners expressed their willingness to persuade them, and neither did the special soldiers.
Before the threat could be made vague, the captives were released, and even a few of our horses were returned.
That doubt, after noon, with another wave of enemy troops, was finally solved.
The troops that came to attack that time were under the banner of Sima, and they were magnificent, with few people and horses, and the first general was Ma Hong.
"When persuading you to surrender, remember to talk to the Tangyi County Commander about the interests and harms! This place is too close to Guangling, even if your General Sun is crossing the river and going on a northern expedition, Sima next to him will do it sooner or later! They are enemies on all sides, and the water army of the Yuan thief has been destroyed, and whoever comes they will be wiped out!
In a few moments, you will be approaching the city, covering with crossbows and crossbows, and setting up ladders to try to feint. Let the soldiers pay attention to the cover, it is necessary to work too hard, and if there is a little resistance, you can come in. When the sky is about to dawn, withdraw your troops, and attack again before noon, replacing your own banners. ”
"Listen to the dog officer at the head of the city! Originally, your little brother was planning to attack his Tangyi for the time being, but this morning, the sailors patrolling the river actually caught them colluding with Zhang Fei, this is the attack! When they came to Taishan Mansion, if they wanted to blame them, they would be blamed for knowing the bad guys! ”
After doing all this, the Han army soldier Yuan Shu kept the remaining prisoners under close guard, and then returned to the dock to report to Lu Da.
Yuan Jun knew that the situation was tight, and he also returned to the ya, and asked directly under the city tower: "Where is the enemy?" Why did you suddenly offend your cousin? Did you hear that Sima had withdrawn his troops? ”
In that post-drama link, Lu Da never showed up, because it was also part of the military division's plan.
But my fears were slowly realized, Ma Hong only divided a part of his troops to receive the Tangyi, disarm and control the prisoners, and let the remaining soldiers disembark again, and continue to go down the river along the water, and even asked Ma is hooves to stop and attack Chuxian.
Zhang Fei didn't bother to hide it, and directly ordered his subordinates to lead a fighting ship and ten ships to land on the dock according to the plan, and first take the beacon tower, and then take the town.
Yuan Jun was confused, put on his clothes and rushed to the south gate tower, only to see a few of his own commanders and uniformed officers, who were pulled down from the city by the guards with hanging baskets - in the white night, when we encountered our own beacon scouts to report, we also dared to open the city gate, but first let people inform the county order, it is estimated that it is not very much time spent at the city gate.
Yuan Jun was terrified when he heard this, then Lu Da actually took a county, and he wanted to stay and recuperate at all, so he wanted to attack again directly?
Yuan's army ordered to defend to the death, and before carrying two waves of thunder and light rain, more than 100 people were killed and wounded, and just when I was worried about safety, the enemy who was besieging the city actually entered because of dawn.
I saw Lu Da come to the city in person, and the spear was immediate, and he was not more than 100 steps away from the city wall, so he whispered:
Mr. said, the difficulty of that place is to break through, but before the breakthrough, you must avoid angering Sun Ce and attracting heavy troops to garrison Hefei, so I ordered you to falsely claim Zhang Fei's subordinates. We are slow to break the city, but we have to give us time to send the news of 'Zhang Fei's attack' back to the front.
Yuan Jun had just made bad preparations, and Lu Da arrived here, and then ended the clamor to attack the city.
Rao is like this, there are still less than seventy soldiers who have just gotten up because they are too fast, and they are blocked on the beacon tower and obediently taken prisoner. Seeing that the enemy was surrounded by dozens of times as many as possible, those people were very aware of the current affairs, and they had no intention of taking up arms to resist.
As soon as the beacon fire was lit, Lu Da's soldiers had not yet rushed to the beacon tower. The night guards only had time to shoot eight or seven arrows, and when we saw that there were countless enemies in vain, we chose to abandon the platform and flee very wisely.
There was only a military horse red under Lu Da's command, and a little grin appeared behind the prisoners of the beacon tower, and then the small model said in a pre-arranged bad line:
In order to grab the territory when the wall fell and everyone pushed it, Zhang Fei had to ensure the connection of the territory, so he did it at that time!
Maybe the people under Sun Ce's rule don't really feel that it doesn't matter, whoever is ruled is the same, and no matter who attacked Sun Ce's territory, our life will be worse.
Between Zhang Fei and Sun Ce's territory, there is now only Tangyi and Wujiang bordering.
The subordinates completely followed the order, and most of the time ago, when Xiao was about to be in the middle of the day, the Han army pushed back to the city of Tangyi, and slowly made preparations for a simple attack.
Zhang Fei is worried that Sima Yuan Shuzhi will squeeze me, my territory is now bordering His Majesty's territory, and I am afraid that if Ma Hong takes Tangyi, or Yuan Shuzhi takes Wujiang, I will be completely cut off from His Majesty's territory, and I will have a way to get a piece of the pie from the war against His Majesty.
For the sake of your general, under the old share of General Liu and General Qiao, those who come and fall quickly can be pardoned! Who is the leader among them? If you want to die, you will go to Tangyi County to persuade you to surrender, and as long as you succeed, you can be promoted to two levels! ”
In the white night, the soldiers and horses were chaotic, the firelight flickered, and the people under the big town of the dock finally knew that there were no soldiers and horses coming. But the people just numbly blocked the door of their homes, and some wanted to run.
……
In such a serious offensive, the defenders of Tangyi were very slow to hold on.
The Han army came to the real time that time, and before rushing the car and the large ladder truck, they were all directly transported by small bucket ships along the Yangtze River and Tu Shui, and pushed down the shore to attack the city directly before setting up a gangplank at the dock.
Now that Zhang Fei has accepted the canonization of the Han Dynasty, I can attack Yuan Youjun. It is certain that Yuan Shuzhi will seize Shangwujiang first, and Sima will seize Shangtangyi first, and Zhang Fei will only be able to stare dryly in the battle to destroy Yuan in the future.
The deceased was a brain melon that had been hammered into a ball of watermelon-stuffed tofu brains, and a sunken helmet was carried around; It was the chest cavity that was smashed into a concave whole, and the sharp holes in the broken ribs stabbed back the heart and lungs one after another.
It is certain that Zhang Feijun crossed the Yangtze River from Niuzhu, and the first thing he faced was not the Wujiang River on Sun Cezhi.
Those words, if a mere tun chief said that they came out, I don't have that kind of insight. Therefore, when Lu Dabu let me go, he publicized Zhang Fei's motives badly-
Sun Ce can be the emperor, and he is also completely strong, and I have slightly selected the magistrates of the first-line territories that govern the first-line territory. But all officials who are not suspicious of stability can only be placed in the hinterland of the seventh line, and they will be placed on the last edge.
Yuan Jun almost dared to doubt his eyes, but looking at the small banner of "Sun" that was abandoned under the position in the city on the rising sun, I still had to believe it.
Seeing that the soldiers of Xiandeng had gained a firm foothold in the city and cleared a large area, Ma Hong even handed over the snake spear to his subordinates, changed his shield and copper hammer, and personally rushed down from the cloud ladder.
Lu Da's eyes narrowed, and he judged. Immediately I ordered the men to be on guard, and the ships were ashore, and all the bows and crossbows were wound.
When Yuan Jun heard this, he thought about it for a while, and suddenly felt very unreasonable, and he was like falling into an ice cave for a while.
The two large ladders were also pushed back to the bucket ship again, and they were about to sail downstream with the ship.
No matter how bad the visibility was at night, at this time, Liu Bei's soldiers under the beacon tower finally discovered the situation, and immediately ended the roaring warning and lit the beacon fire.
The bad thing is that as the gatekeeper Qu Junhou was also stoned to death, the remaining soldiers were finally confused, and they scattered one after another, or surrendered on their knees.
Yuan Jun was relatively loyal, but he immediately surrendered, and wanted to try to resist resistance.
Nearly 100 ships carried about 2,000 enemy troops, and they went up the river and rushed straight to Luda. Under the head of the ship, there is a flag with the word "Zhou".
It is also thanks to the fact that the city wall of Tangyi is too short, only one zhang less, so the corresponding ladder car should also be a few sizes larger, otherwise it will be transported by a fighting ship.
