Chapter 173: I'm Done
Lujiang, Songzi.
"Kill !!"
With shouts of killing, the two armies charged at each other.
Jiang Ban rode a war horse and charged ahead, this person was originally a fierce general under Zhuge Dan, and he was promoted because he killed the fierce general of Wu Guo, Liuzan.
Now he has made a lot of contributions under Wen Qin's command.
Wen Qin used him as a son, and always let him serve as the vanguard corps, and the generals were the first.
Wen Qin's main army was still confronting Shi Ji's army near Xunyang, and Wen Qin, when his troops were at a disadvantage, still didn't care about dividing his army and letting Jiang Ban make a detour to attack Songzi.
Sunz's position is extremely crucial, even more important than Qi Chun.
Defeating Qichun can capture Wuchang, but taking Songzi can go to Jianye.
Songzi is a flat passage here, and you can directly enter the Jiangdong area and kill all the way to Jianye.
It is precisely because of the key position here that this has always been the area with the strongest defensive strength of the Wu State, and Ding Feng was originally stationed here, not in the Zhisho.
And now, Shi Ji and Ding Feng have been torn apart, one in Qichun and the other in Tangyi, and Songzi's defensive strength has been seriously weakened.
When Jiang Ban suddenly killed here, he only encountered a counterattack from a legion of less than 10,000 people.
Jiang Ban's soldiers were only more than 4,000 people, far inferior to the other party.
Among the three generals, Wen Qin's troops were the least, only more than 40,000 people, compared with Biqiu Jian's 60,000 Huainan elites and Hu Zun's 70,000 Qingxu elites, the difference was still relatively large.
The deployment of the three generals' forces was relatively scattered, one of Biqiu Jian's army was on Hu Zun's side, one was in Qichun to assist Wenqin in defense, and another was cleaning up the mess for him, and the rest were charging with him.
Biqiu Jian only led the most elite cavalry in pursuit.
Although the terrain of Wu is really not suitable for cavalry attacks, if you want to catch Sun Hao, you can only use cavalry. I'm afraid that he will be arrested a long time ago.
The so-called frame of the Son of Heaven is just a symbol, and it is wishful thinking to compare speed with the cavalry.
Wen Qin was not idle at the moment, he was very worried that Shi Ji would give up fighting with him and send people from Songzi to support Sun Hao.
He didn't want that.
Therefore, he decided to attack Songzi in advance, if he could take it, it would be best, if he couldn't, he couldn't let the opponent evacuate from here easily.
As for Wu's naval army, it is impossible to transport his own soldiers to the other side of the river when the enemy is eyeing him.
Shi Ji is the one who leads the most troops here, and he is beaten the most viciously.
Shi's ability to perform is really not too bad, but the gap between the two sides is too big, and Wen Qin is not a weak chicken.
In the case of equal generals, the difference in strength determines everything.
Jiang Ban met the enemy in Songzi, the two sides fought for an hour, Jiang Ban changed the war horse three times in a row, at first the two sides also used some strategies, but soon it turned into a melee, everyone was inseparable, and they couldn't tell each other.
When Cao Wei's reinforcements arrived, Wu's army completely collapsed.
When Hu Zun set out on the expedition, the temple used the Chinese army and asked them to go to Yanzhou to observe the situation, but a full-scale war broke out between the two sides, and Cao Chao also hurriedly ordered the Chinese army to go!
The Chinese army came at the right time, and in the case of gaining vital strength, Jiang Ban fought again with the whole army, and killed two Wu generals in a row outside Songzi, and won a great victory.
The rest of Wu's defensive forces also abandoned their defenses and took refuge in the city of Songzi, preparing to rely on the city to resist the enemy.
When Shi Ji learned the news, he was in a mess.
Songzi is besieged, then the enemy can directly enter the hinterland of Wu from Songzi.
Although it is said that the hinterland of Wu is now dried up by Biqiu Jian, it can't let the rest of the enemy's legions kill it.
Shi Ji hurriedly turned around and prepared to support Songzi, and Wen Qin saw the opportunity and launched a full-scale attack.
More than 30,000 people of the Wenqin army launched a fierce attack on the army of more than 60,000 people of Shi Ji, their army fought on the long front from Xunyang to Songzi, the Wenqin army was like a bamboo, broke through on multiple fronts, Shi Ji was defeated and retreated, leaving more than 10,000 casualties, leading the main force to retreat to the area of Songzi, and successfully defeated the rushing Jiang Ban, and redeployed outside the city of Songzi.
Shi Ji hurriedly asked Ding Feng for help.
But at this moment, Ding Feng is more irritable than Sun Hao.
Hu Zun, an old immortal, choked him with anger.
This old and disrespectful thing is obviously the attacker, but after Ding Feng arrived on the battlefield, he took the initiative to abandon the city he had originally captured, so that Ding Feng could easily get the city, and then began to deploy defensive lines on three sides, from the attacker to the defender.
Surrounded Ding Feng's large army.
Ding Feng scolded angrily.
"Shameless old man!! Bearded Puff!! ”
Ding Feng looked at the improvised horses, potholes, and even high platforms in the distance, and his face turned red.
Things have come to this point, and Ding Feng naturally sees it clearly, and he is being put on a position by Hu Zun.
In the past, when several of Cao Wei's generals fought together, there would inevitably be contradictions, which would give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of.
This is the experience of Ding Feng and others.
It's a pity that the past is the past, and the present is the present, under Cao Chao's rule, even if there is discord among the generals, it will not affect the overall situation of the war.
And Hu Zun took advantage of this, using his reputation outside the country to lay out the layout for the Wu people, so that the Wu people thought that Cao Wei was in internal discord and could bypass Wen Qin to attack Hu Zun directly.
These two generals could only listen to the news of their emperor running around, and wanted to rescue but could not do anything.
Ding Feng looked at the lieutenant general who had retreated because of another ineffective attack, and his face was gloomy.
"No, you can't be dragged across the river by Hu Zun anymore."
The adjutant general panicked and hurriedly blocked in front of him, "General, no." ”
"Many of the Cao thieves' warships are still wandering by the river, we can't hide them if we want to cross the river, if we want to forcibly cross the river, then they will be attacked from both sides, when the time comes, let alone go to support Your Majesty, I'm afraid that we ourselves will be killed"
Ding Feng slowly closed his eyes, forcibly calmed himself, and began to think about countermeasures.
Hu Zun, the old thief, besieged but did not attack, and in the face of his own provocations, he shrank his head and avoided the battle, and he was unwilling to fight with himself at all.
This is not because Hu Zun can't beat Ding Feng, but because he is afraid that Ding Feng will take the opportunity to break through.
If they were fighting in many places, Ding Feng could always find a gap and join forces with Shi Ji, Hu Zun was unwilling to cause any trouble, so he defended Ding Feng and repelled him to break through again and again.
The deputy general said: "General, now we really can't break through, our army is less than 30,000 people, and Hu Zun has nearly 70,000 troops from the two states, and the Xuzhou soldiers are not enough, the Qingzhou soldiers are extremely strong, and even if we break through, we are afraid that it will be too late to rush to Jianye." ”
"If we leave, maybe Hu Zun will take the opportunity to cross the river and take Jianye directly."
The consequence of the disadvantage of hard power is the loss of choice.
Hu Zun had hundreds of options, he could capture the local area, cross the river, surround it, and even join forces with Wen Qin to completely destroy the Shi Ji Legion, but Ding Feng had no choice, he could only passively watch Hu Zun's actions.
Ding Feng opened his eyes and slowly looked in the direction of the other side.
Suddenly, two lines of tears flowed through his face.
"Your Majesty"
"The old minister is incompetent"
At the same time, stationed in the camp of Hu Zun opposite, there was endless laughter and laughter.
Hu Zun sat proudly on the top seat, looking at the battle report just sent in his hand, he couldn't help but look up and laugh.
"This is not bad!"
"This is to break through the capital of Wu, so what if Lu Kang can fight again, he can only follow him, he can't catch up at all, if he abandons the rest of the army and only leads the cavalry, he can't beat it!"
Hu Zun's eyes were incomparably bright.
"The kingdom of Wu is going to perish!"
"Biqiu Jian drove straight in, conquered everything, and was invincible, the morale of his army has reached a very terrible level, not to mention the army of Wu State, even the most elite 100,000 Chinese troops of my Great Wei will have to suffer when they encounter him!"
"Ahem."
Hu Zun stopped his voice in time, and he almost said something that he couldn't say.
When Sima Shi was still there, he was also very jealous in the face of Biqiu Jian, who had 60,000 Huainan elites, and he had ordered Deng Ai, Wang Ji, Zhuge Dan, Wang Chang, Hu Zun, Shi Bao and others to form an encirclement situation, and attack Biqiu Jian from all directions Although Sima Shi was cautious, but the mobilization of so many people, coupled with the Chinese army he led, it was enough to see how big the threat of Biqiu Jian was.
Of course, these things are in the past.
Anyway, General Hu is still very happy now, and he is in a very good mood when he sees Emperor Wu running around like a dog.
I didn't like that guy earlier.
When Biqiu Jian caught him, he had to stay alone with him for a few hours
Just when Hu Zun was happily telling everyone about Biqiu Jian's achievements, a scout suddenly arrived in a hurry.
The person who came was Wen Qin's subordinate.
Seeing this person, Hu Zun's face suddenly became solemn.
Among the three generals, Wen Qin's strength is the weakest, and the strongest enemy he faces should not be this overturn, right?
The scout hurriedly saluted Hu Zun, "General! The general of my family sent me to inform you that I hope you can divide your troops immediately to prevent Shi Ji from escaping and joining Ding Feng."
"The five captains of the Chinese army have already led the troops to arrive, and my general is fighting a full-scale battle with Shi Ji, preparing to completely destroy Shi Ji and enter the Wu country!"
Hu Zun stood up suddenly, "How did the Chinese army come so quickly??" ”
"I heard that it's from Yanzhou!"
Hu Zun was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"Hahaha, it seems that the old man's plan is good, but His Majesty and the military department have been fooled!!"
