Chapter 955: Temptation

Huang Gai and Jiang Qin each led 50,000 troops to attack, while Zhou Tai and Han Dang defended the city.

One hundred thousand soldiers and horses rushed towards Hefei City and Chao County, but the soldiers and horses of Jiangdong didn't seem to respond at all, and continued to attack the previous route.

Another day later, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses had already attacked outside the city of Lujiang County.

There is not much force to stop them along the road, and the entire support point is the county town of Lujiang County.

One hundred thousand soldiers surrounded the city of Lujiang County, but Zhu Zhi, the guard, was not very worried. Although the enemy army was coming fiercely, the Lujiang County was already very strong after being managed by Sun Ce, and the food and grass inside was even more unbearable. no more.

Here is close to Poyang Lake, and a lot of food and grass are stored in this Lujiang County, so the surrounding cities don't have to worry about food and grass.

Zhu Zhi patrolled around the top of the city.

"What is Zhang Yu going to do? Fight on two fronts?"

Zhu Zhi didn't understand, and it was difficult for him to judge whether Zhang Yu was here to scare people or really wanted to attack.

Things in the north were very troublesome. Zhang Yu set up a cabinet with Beiping as the center of gravity. Everyone believed that Zhang Yu was going to consolidate the north.

However, Zhang Yu still did something unexpected.

Zhu Zhi looked at the enemy army outside the city, and then checked the city defense again.

The young general guarding the city carefully accompanied him.

"Don't worry, the troops of Lu'an City and Shouchun City will not be silent. As long as the two cities are here, there will be no major incidents in our Lujiang County." After speaking, Zhu Zhi patted the young general on the shoulder and left.

It is true that Zhu Zhi is not worried, he is still very calm now, even if Jiang Dong really wants to attack, it is not something they can attack if they want to.

On Ling Cao's side, his movements were also very fast, taking Wuwei City in one night.

This is just a small city with only a few thousand defenders, and it was quickly attacked.

This city has always been too close to Chao County, so Sun Ce did not deploy heavy troops here.

Large cities deploy heavy troops to defend against the enemy, while small towns deploy heavy troops to deliver food to the enemy.

After Ling Cao captured this small town,

They sent some soldiers and horses to continue to the next city, but he and Guo Jia did not go south immediately, but immediately blocked the Yangtze River.

"Military division, at the beginning we had an army of tens of thousands, and a few young generals slaughtered Fusang's army thousands of miles away. Is it really useful to use Fusang's army to fight now?"

In Ling Cao's words, he distrusted Fusang's army very much. He came to the riverside this time and blocked the Yangtze River just to pick up Fusang's 100,000 soldiers.

This Ling Cao had never personally participated in the battle against Fusang, so he didn't know the characteristics of Fusang's army.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "My lord's arrangement naturally has deep meaning. General Ling will use it boldly when the time comes."

The two of them arrived at the riverside, and the other side of the Yangtze River was ready. As soon as the signal was sent out on this side, the other side began to cross the river.

Jiangdong has mobilized a large number of large and small ships.

It is also rare for the Yangtze River to be banned. During this period of time, there are fleets on both ends of the Yangtze River carrying out missions, temporarily intercepting passing merchant ships.

The troops crossed the river slowly, but not fast, and it was estimated that they could all cross the river at night.

"Military division, it is estimated that Lu'an City and Shouchun City have already moved, should we also speed up?" Ling Cao asked.

Guo Jia looked at the Taotao river, listened to the sound of the water and said: "This Huang Gai is an experienced veteran, he will definitely be cautious. Our army will probably die if we don't pay a certain price."

The two chatted and watched the army cross the river. In the middle of the night, Guo Jia was tired, so he went to rest first.

Ling Cao looked at these very short, rather stocky Fusang troops and didn't like them at all.

"Can such an army fight well?"

Ling Cao was skeptical. He saw that the training time of this army was not long, the queue was not neat, and they didn't have enough energy.

But thinking that this is only for consumption, I don't care so much.

The army continued to cross the river, and Ling Cao finally went back to rest.

It is said that Huang Gai and Jiang Qin brought soldiers and horses to the outside of Hefei city.

The two first jointly attacked Hefei City.

One hundred thousand soldiers and horses besieged the city.

All kinds of siege equipment were also brought over by the rear army.

The two met at the foot of the city, and Jiang Qin said: "Old General, we should attack for a while, otherwise we will not be able to test out the reality of the city."

After being silent for a long time, Huang Gai said, "I'm afraid we will have to attack all sides for a day before we can find out."

It is not easy to test out the reality of Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, because even if they are short of troops, they will fight to the death.

Jiang Qin is silent, the price will not be small.

The two surrounded the city. From the outside, there was not much change in the city.

Generally, if you want to set up a suspicious formation, you will even pretend to plant a lot of military flags.

Usually a military flag represents a soldier and horse, but in real wars, Jiangdong soldiers and horses rarely use military flags.

The military flag is a symbol and the spirit of the soldiers, but Jiangdong doesn't seem to need it.

The military flag can command soldiers, and the military flag can unite the soldiers' morale and so on.

The two waited until dawn.

After dawn, the two armies were divided under the four walls, and then prepared to attack.

Once the army is assembled, it is ready to attack.

"kill."

"attack."

Huang Gai and Jiang Qin respectively commanded two armies to launch a fierce attack.

The onslaught began, and there was nothing strange at first, they stormed the walls and the enemy fought back.

There were no special circumstances during the process. The troops on the city wall were not particularly fierce, but they did not allow them to attack easily.

Half an hour later, there was still no change.

Huang Gai patrolled back and forth while commanding, trying to see the flaws in the city, but the rhythm of the army on the city did not change.

"kill."

"Let the arrows go."

"Arrow array attack."

"Don't give the enemy a chance to retreat."

Suddenly a large number of archers appeared in the city, some of them attacked directly on the battlements, and some of them formed arrow arrays in the rear.

There were at least 20,000 soldiers in the city, and they formed a sharp arrow formation to kill the attacking army.

At this time, many people wondered whether they would have deployed more troops if it were not for the limited space at the head of the city.

Arrows flew randomly, and a large number of arrows slanted down towards them.

The attacking team stopped immediately, and an unknown number of people died under the arrow array.

The team in the middle broke off directly, leaving the attacking army without support.

The soldiers who were climbing the city wall realized that something was wrong and wanted to retreat, but they were shot by arrows during the retreat, and not many of them could run back.

"Could it be that there are heavy troops deployed in this city?" Huang Gai asked suspiciously.

The two hurriedly withdrew the army, but this time they lost thousands of people.

It's not that they are unprepared, but that they let the army storm, and the defense is naturally much less. To read books on this site, please use the latest domain name
