Chapter 1022: Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin Attack

Chapter 1022 Zhou Tai Jiang Qin Attacks

The armies of both sides are gathering. If this is detonated, it may be a decisive battle where an unknown number of people will die.

Up until now, the two sides have no choice but to decide the outcome.

Both Cao Cao and Zhang Yu increased their troops at the same time.

Zhang Yu gathered all the soldiers and horses from Youzhou and Qingzhou, leaving only some necessary defensive troops.

In Yangzhou, Cheng Yu had occupied Shouchun City for ten days.

During these ten days, Cheng Yu did not move much.

He's been making plans.

"Then Sun Ce has already received the news. To react, it will only take a few days to take Lu'an as soon as possible." Cheng Yu thought.

After making the plan, Cheng Yu ordered: "Order the front line to continue attacking Hefei City. Within five days, the city must be broken."

They have stormed before, and they know that Hefei City is not easy, and it is not easy to take it down.

But now Cao Cao wants to occupy this place, even if he pays a little more, he must do it.

The order goes down, and Cao Jun over there begins to attack.

The onslaught was fierce this time, because Cheng Yu had already issued a death order, and they only had five days, which was very tight, and they were facing Jiangdong's army.

"Shock, shock."

"Can't stop, rush up to me."

"Archer, come on, archer, you must use up all the arrows in the next few days, and whoever can't use them up will get out of here."

Those Cao generals were also crazy, attacking in the most violent way.

The soldiers rushed up and kept falling.

I don't know how many people fell on the way of charging, but they still rushed towards the city wall.

On the city wall, a slow ladder was erected.

There are Cao Jun on the ladder, climbing up one by one.

"These Cao Jun are too crazy." Zhang Yu's young general said.

"They must be shot down."

"The archers cover and push these ladders out for me."

The young general gave an order, and two or three of them held long poles, leaned out of the city, and then pushed out the ladder.

It is very dangerous for people to lean out, but there is no way, there are too many enemies, and they all climb up crazily, and the top of the wall can't bear it for a while.

At this time, Cao Jun's archers stepped up their attacks, and even got closer to the city wall under Cao Jun's order.

The Jiangdong army on the top of the city is also stepping up its output, and the two sides are fighting for time.

In such a war, both sides will suffer huge casualties.

Several teenagers worked hard to resist the enemy's attack.

After fighting for several hours, the soldiers were exhausted, and the generals were also very tired.

Take a sneak break when they change troops to attack.

On the top of the city, a new batch of soldiers came up as soon as possible.

The tired soldiers were replaced, and some of them fell asleep without taking a bite of food.

After falling asleep, no matter what the outside world is, unless it is the sound of military camp horns, they can be woken up.

The fighting was fierce on the first day. Jiangdong soldiers and horses killed more than 5,000 people, while Cao Jun directly killed more than 13,000 people.

They played too crazy.

The news would definitely spread, and the scouts on Sun Ce's side rushed back to report immediately after receiving the news.

The horse galloped quickly, and Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin had already received the news a day later.

"General Zhou, Cao's army attacked us and paid such a high price. I'm afraid it's not as simple as disrupting Jiangdong's arrangement, but has other intentions." Jiang Qin said.

Zhou Tai nodded, and after pondering for a while, he said: "This Cao army must have an important purpose, but what exactly are they going to do.

"

The two couldn't guess, a soldier came in a hurry after a while.

"Report to the two generals, the news from Shouchun City."

After all, this Shouchun City has been controlled by Sun Ce for a long time, so it is not surprising that there are people from them.

"What? This Cao army actually wants to control the Poyang Lake area, as well as a large number of areas along the Yangtze River, and turn this place into their rear area." Zhou Tai said in shock after reading the information.

Jiang Qin hurriedly took the information from Zhou Tai to read it.

At first glance, Jiang Qin also found it incredible.

Why did Cao Cao do this?

"Everything makes sense. This Cao Cao must know that Zhang Yu can't be stopped, so he wants to give up Jizhou, and then snatch it here, making this area their rear area." Zhou Tai said.

Jiang Qin also nodded, and said with a look of understanding: "They attacked Hefei City, so desperately, it can be explained. They want to take the Poyang Lake area before Jizhou decides the winner."

A gleam of firmness appeared on Zhou Tai's face, then he turned to Jiang Qin and said, "Cao Cao cannot be allowed to succeed, we must stop them, otherwise our interests will be seriously damaged."

When Cao Cao controlled this area, they would expand their territory westward and grab Sun Ce's territory, so Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin felt that they wanted to stop Cao Jun.

Jiang Qin nodded: "Now that we know their plan, we can't wait any longer. We must take back Shouchun City."

The two began to discuss.

After some discussion, Zhou Tai said: "Pay close attention to their movements, and look for opportunities to attack Jiangdong's army on both sides. Since they are unkind, don't blame us for being unrighteous."

A large number of scouts were sent out.

On Cheng Yu's side, he has been making various arrangements.

Two days later, Cheng Yu ordered that no one in Shouchun City be allowed to go out, or they would all be killed. At the same time, several intelligence bases left by Sun Ce's party were destroyed.

Cheng Yu sits in the city, but the overall situation has always been under his control.

Hefei City has been stormed for three days, and it was almost in danger several times.

Both sides suffered huge losses.

After the second day of the war, Cheng Yu sent 10,000 troops to support.

The next day, another 20,000 troops were sent.

On the third day, another 20,000 troops were dispatched.

On the fourth day, Cheng Yu only sent 5,000 people to the battlefield to support.

After attacking for four days, they lost more than 60,000 troops and had to send troops one after another to support them.

When Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin received the news, Zhou Tai said excitedly: "Our chance has come. Most of the reinforcements from Shouchun City are going to attack Hefei City. We can go to sneak attack and we will definitely be able to take down the city."

Jiang Qin nodded and said: "That's right, but they still have more than 100,000 troops in Hefei City. To prevent them from coming back in time, I will take some soldiers and horses to ambush them on the road."

"Yes, we must regain the city this time, and we cannot let them succeed." Zhou Tai said.

After the two discussed, they began to divide the work.

They have more than 86,000 troops in their hands.

"Just keep 10,000 people to defend the city, I will bring 50,000 troops, and you will bring more than 20,000 troops to attack Cao Jun." Zhou Tai said.

"it is good."

The two made arrangements and decided to find an opportunity to regain the city.

Zhou Tai and the others prepared and set off.

The troops were divided into two groups, one to Shouchun City and the other to Hefei City.

In order to attack suddenly, they chose to march at night to minimize the chance of exposure.
