Chapter 322: Sending troops to Nanjun
The blood-red sunset slowly sank in the scattered clouds, casting the golden afterglow and the majestic shadows of the soldiers on the surface of the Han River.
Jiang Qin stood on top of the warship, heroic.
"General Jiang Qin, the three armies are ready to stop, just waiting for the general to give the order to cross the river. Xu Sheng said loudly.
"Okay, cross the river. Jiang Qin gave an order, and on the high platform of the warship, the order flag waved. A hundred warships sailed across the shore like arrows from the string. Jiang Qin once followed Sun Ce to pacify the four counties and pacify the thieves, and his merits were prominent, but in the end he was only a western lieutenant, and after a long time, he couldn't help but raise his head in front of his colleagues.
Jiang Qin is not a reckless man, even if there are 10,000 unhappy in his heart, he never finds someone to talk to. After a long time, there is a strength in my heart, a desire to win.
Inside the South County Castle.
Cao Ren is discussing with his subordinates.
Suddenly, Tan Ma reported: "Wu soldiers have crossed the river and are coming to Nanjun in a fierce manner." ”
"How many centaurs are there?" Cao Ren looked at the map behind him, his face was solemn, and he was thinking hard about how to defeat the enemy.
"It was too late to see. ”
Chen Jiao said: "Seeing that it is getting late, the soldiers of Eastern Wu are only afraid that they will have to rest for one night after crossing the Han River." ”
Cao Ren shook his head: "No, the long-distance attack lies in surprise, we can think of it, but the enemy may not be unexpected." At present, the enemy's situation is still unknown, and our army has just suffered a setback in Chibi, and its morale is low, so it cannot easily go into battle. ”
Niu Jin said with a disdainful face: "The army of Eastern Wu has arrived in the city, and we are afraid of them if we don't leave the station." We have just been defeated at Chibi, and we need a victory to revive the morale of our army at this moment. ”
Cao Ren nodded. After pondering for a long time, he said: "What the general said is very reasonable, I will allocate 500 elite soldiers to the general, as long as the general takes advantage, don't chase after him, and immediately collect the troops." Just in case, I went to the city to meet the general. I hope that the general will return victorious. ”
Niu Jin said proudly: "Don't capture the enemy general, come and see you." Then he allocated 500 elite soldiers, Niu Jin put on the horse and carried a knife, said goodbye to Cao Ren, and went out of the city of Nanjun.
Jiang Qin's 5,000 soldiers and horses crossed the Han River. The weather in early spring had not yet warmed, which made Jiang Qin, who had just disembarked, feel a chill. At this moment, the sky was already dark, and the faint evening breeze blew across the river, and the soldiers shivered with cold.
Ding Feng said: "We are running from a long distance, people are sleepy and horses are tired, and the weather is warm in the days and cold in the night, and the soldiers are inconvenient, so we might as well rest for a day and fight again tomorrow." ”
Jiang Qin shook his head: "If we think so, Cao Ren will think the same way, if Cao Ren relaxes his guard at this moment, we suddenly appear and win a few battles against him, and the Cao army will inevitably be in chaos." When the time comes, it will be easy for the Metropolitan Governor to take Nanjun again. ”
"But ......"
"Needless to say, if the battle is defeated, I will go to see you on the governor's side, and it has nothing to do with you. Jiang Qin was in a hurry and did not listen to Ding Feng's dissuasion.
"Command the whole army, march lightly, and attack with all your might. "Jiang Qin knows the truth of the speed of soldiers, if Cao Ren is really negligent in taking precautions, this is an excellent fighter.
Although the soldiers complained, they did not dare to disobey, and five thousand elite soldiers lit torches and rushed to Nanjun.
Under the city of Nanjun, Jiang Qin looked up and couldn't help but marvel, the city wall of Nanjun was several feet high. Although it has been baptized by war many times, it has already been renovated under Cao Ren's management. If it is a strong attack, I am afraid that the casualties will be small.
Jiang Qin knew that his forces were limited and could not be too dispersed. It is convenient to open the formation outside the south gate of Nanjun City and confront Niu Jin.
In the formation of Cao's army, the war drums sounded, and a horse broke out of the formation and marched to the front of the formation.
"I'm the general Niu Jin, the Wu dog who is not afraid of death stepped forward to fight. Niu Jin's big sword is horizontal, just waiting for Jiang Qin to fight.
Five thousand against five hundred. There is a huge disparity in strength.
There is a cloud in the art of war: "The method of using soldiers, ten is to surround it, five to attack it, and to divide it if it is doubled, and the enemy can fight it......"
Jiang Qin has been on the battlefield for a long time, so he naturally understands the truth. In his heart, he was thinking about how to take the lead and annex Niu Jin, the five hundred elite soldiers.
General Ding Feng listened to the order. Jiang Qin already had a plan in his heart.
"You lead the army and horses of your headquarters to fight Niu Jin. Remember to lose, not win. ”
"General Xu Sheng, you lead the army horses of the headquarters to outflank on the left side, and I lead the army horses to outflank on the right side. ”
"Commanded. Xu Sheng took the order and left.
"Commanded. Ding Feng then picked up his gun and mounted his horse, led his own troops and horses, and went to the front of the battle to respond.
The two armies lit torches, and the front of the battle was illuminated as if it were daylight.
"To be the common name. ”
"Your grandfather is here to take your dog's life. Ding Fengzong stepped forward immediately, raised his gun and stabbed him distractedly. The thorn of the inertia of the forward rush is not trivial.
Niu Jin raised the knife and lightly put this knife on the side, and the knife was horizontal and directly stopped at Ding Feng. Ding Feng returned the gun and swept it, and the weapons collided.
"Dangchang", sparks splashed everywhere, and Ding Feng's arms were numb, and the spear in his hand almost fell off. Shake a shot, turn the horse's head, and return to the battle.
Niu Jin was eager to win, and chased after him, and the five hundred elite soldiers behind him also caught up with Niu Jin.
"Oh no, I don't know how many soldiers and horses the enemy has, how can I easily pursue them. Saying that, Cao Chun said to the side: "I will lead a team of soldiers and horses to go down to save General Niu Jin, and Nanjun will be handed over to you." No matter what happens, don't act rashly. All the soldiers and horses are left to you, even if Niu Jin and I are killed in battle, keep Nanjun. We also won. ”
Chen Jiao hurriedly stopped Cao Ren: "General, Niu Jin is just a reckless man, don't save it." It's just that the city can't miss the general. ”
"Niu Jin Mang, don't listen to my admonition. How could I not know. It's just that we have just experienced the defeat of Chibi, if we lose this time. Then our morale will be broken. Anyway. If I can save Niu Jin here, we won't lose. ”
As he spoke, he pushed Chen Jiao away. Pick up the gun and get on the horse, carry the soldiers and horses, and go out of the city to save Niu Jin.
Jiang Qin couldn't help but be very happy when he saw Niu Jin's plan, and immediately commanded the soldiers and horses to come from both sides, and then surrounded Niu Jin and 500 soldiers like an iron pass.
These 5,000 elite soldiers are all the elite of Eastern Wu, seeing that Niu Jin is trapped in the formation at this moment, the shield soldiers are in front, the spearmen are behind, and the archers are shooting at the formation. Immediately, Niu Jin and these five hundred elite soldiers were to be strangled in the big array
Niu Jin, even if your elder's wings can't fly out of this layer of encirclement today, I will definitely take your head and ask the Metropolitan Governor for credit. Jiang Qin laughed.
"Wu Gouxiu wants to be rampant, and Cao Ren is also here. ”
Jiang Qin had already seen it, so he divided a group of soldiers and horses, and stepped forward to stop Cao Ren with a knife.
"Fuck off. Saying that, the gun was like a frightened dragon, stabbing Jiang Qin directly. Jiang Qin brought a knife to fight, and his soldiers were strangled together, although Jiang Qin's 5,000 elite soldiers besieged Nanjun was not enough, but it was enough to divide troops to block Cao Ren, and even trap Cao Ren. Five thousand soldiers and horses, like a nimble python, entangled Cao Ren to the death, wanting to swallow Cao Ren together.
Cao Chun listened to it on the city tower, and the shouting shook the sky at the beginning. After only a while, I only heard the sound of shouting and killing getting quieter. I couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Come on, take my spearman's blade." ”
Pick up your gun and get on your horse. Chen Jiao hurriedly stopped in front of the horse: "General Cao Ren has explained, don't act rashly, has the general forgotten?"
"General Cao Ren is now trapped in the formation, how can I not save him?" he said, ignoring Chen Jiao's obstruction, he tried his best to raise the soldiers and horses of Nanjun, leaving only a few people to defend the city. went out of the city to save Cao Ren.
"Bang. The gate of Nanjun City was opened, and Cao Chun's white horse and silver spear were followed by many Cao Jun, who rushed out in one go, shouting to kill Zhentian.
Jiang Qin originally thought that Cao Ren had always been cautious, and in order to prevent Nanjun from losing, he would not come out with such an army.
Unexpectedly, with only 5,000 soldiers and horses, he led the army in Nanjun to the nest.
At this moment, he only hated the lack of skills, Jiang Qin said in his heart: "At this moment, all the soldiers and horses from the north gate take advantage of the weakness, and the southern county will be at your fingertips." ”
Jiang Qin guessed accurately. It's just that this soldier and horse is not his Dongwu.
