MTL - Farmer of Shu Han-Chapter 1175 Under Liu'an City

  Chapter 1175 Under Liu'an City

   "Where is Sun Quan now?"

   Knowing that Sun Quan entered Chaohu, Wang Ling, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately led the army, starting from Shouchun, and went south to support Hefei Xincheng.

  Hefei New City is built on Jiming Mountain, and two large water streams happen to originate here.

  Although the source of these two streams is in this area, the flow direction is just opposite.

  One is from north to south, pouring into Chaohu Lake, which is called Shishui.

   After Sun Quan led the army into Chaohu Lake, he could go upstream along the Shishui and came to the foot of Hefei New City.

  The other one, from south to north, flows through Shouchun and flows into the Huai River, which is called Feishui.

  Shouchun's Wang Ling can also lead the army against the tide and support Hefei New Town.

  Even if the boat masters of the state of Wu are much stronger and faster than those of the state of Wei.

  But the defenders of Xincheng can hold out for three or four days at most, which is enough to support the arrival of Shouchun's army.

   I have to say that Manchong's vision in choosing the location of the new city was indeed unique.

  Just this time, I don't know whether Wang Ling's support was too fast, or Sun Quan's march was too slow.

  Wang Ling has led the army to Hefei for two days, and even the fortifications at the foot of Jiming Mountain have almost been built, but there is still no sign of Sun Quan.

   "Report to the governor, according to the spies, Sun Quan has been staying in Xiaoyaojin these days, and seems to be gathering troops."

   "Wu Kou's large-scale attack this time, the army did not gather for a while, which is reasonable."

   There are some more worrying:

   "Captain, Sun Quan's delay in arriving, could it be fraudulent?"

  Wang Ling smiled coldly:

   "Even if he is cheating, can he still bypass Hefei and Lu'an?"

   Now he leads the army to Hefei, forming a corner with Lu'an.

  No matter which direction Sun Quan's main attack is, they can echo each other.

  Although Wen Qin, the prefect of Lu'an, is at odds with him, Wen Qin can be regarded as a loyal minister of the Great Wei.

  Wang Ling believes that he will not abandon the overall situation because of personal grievances.

   Besides, it is I who controls the army now, not Wen Qin.

   Even if Wen Qin is passive and idle, there is no need to worry too much.

   To aid or not to aid, when to aid, how to aid, the initiative lies with oneself and not with others.

  After the war, he could even go to the court again to prove that Wenqin was indeed not suitable for guarding the border. If he asked the court to recall him, he would have fulfilled his wish.

  Of course, if Wen Qin is not too stupid, then he should guard Liuan and not give himself this chance.

   "As for the delay in Sun Quan's arrival," Wang Ling sneered, "Isn't that normal?"

   "When Lu Xun attacked Lu'an, Sun Quan personally led the army into Chaohu to attack Hefei to support him. What happened?"

   "Man Boning just sent people to pretend to be aggressive in the Chaohu and Shishui areas, so that Sun Quan would not move forward."

   "As a result, Lu Xun had to face the danger of being cut off from the rear, and missed the great opportunity to attack Lu'an in vain."

   Speaking of this, the sneer on Wang Ling's face became even more serious:

   "The land of Hefei, I'm afraid it has already become a hurdle that Sun Quan can't get over."

   "Especially in the past when he was killed by Zhang Wenyuan, if he didn't hang around when he arrived in Xiaoyaojin, I would think it was not normal."

  As soon as this remark came out, everyone on the left and right laughed.

  Sun Quan failed to attack Hefei repeatedly. In addition, Hefei moved to a new city.

  The great Wei Jingqi could not cross the river. Could it be that the Wu people's boat division could go on land to attack the city?

  If they want to attack Hefei New City, they must abandon the ship and land.

   Great Wei Jingqi, when was he afraid of the Wu people on land?

   "Send down the order to step up the expansion of the camps around Hefei and dig more trenches. If Sun Quan doesn't come for a day, we will wait for a day."

   "Even if Sun Quan brings 100,000 people here, I want to see how he captures Hefei."

   "Here!"

  As the main force of the Wu army, Sun Quan was still hovering at the entrance where the water was poured into Chaohu Lake, while Zhuge Ke, who was a partial division, was marching quickly.

  He received part of the troops from Stone City, including the student army from the Han Dynasty.

   Then without stopping for a moment, he directly led the fleet up the Wanshui.

  After traveling a section of the waterway, he disembarked at a certain place, and led the army through the stone pavilion, trailer, and Jiashi with ease, and entered Shu County in the territory of Wei State.

   At this time, Shu County was already an abandoned city.

  Because when Zhuge Ke first arrived in Wankou to station troops, he took advantage of the unpreparedness of Wei State and captured Shu County, plundering the people of Wei State and returning.

  After these years of management, Zhuge Ke's soldiers crossed the border repeatedly, forcing Wei Guo not to move the people on the border into the interior, away from the border.

  So the area around Shu County is considered no man's land.

   This kind of thing is already commonplace on the border of Wei and Wu on the edge of the river.

  Zhuge Ke was familiar with the terrain in this area. He let the rushing army take a rest, and then sent scouts to go north.

   After confirming that there was no Wei army intercepting in the north, Zhuge Ke immediately ordered the army to pull out of the camp and go straight to Lu'an.

   In less than three days, Wu Jun had already arrived at the city of Lu'an.

   "Siege the city, logging!"

  Although Zhuge Ke is headstrong, it has to be said that he is indeed talented.

   Over the years, he has been training troops and farming in Wankou.

  At this time, the soldiers below received the military order and immediately followed the order in an orderly manner.

  In order not to follow in the footsteps of Lu Xun back then, Zhuge Ke also specially sent people to set up a camp in the north to prevent the Wei army from coming from the north.

  At the same time, they sent troops to expel the native people in the north of Lu'an City, and prevented them from leaking any news to the Wei army who might come over.

   "This is not right!"

  Following Luo Xian, Fu Qian and others in the army, they have a small camp independently.

  At night, Fu Qian discussed with Luo Xian:

   "When I came from Stone City, I paid special attention to it. This time the Wu people will go to battle. There may be no less than 100,000 people. The supplies carried by their fleet are immeasurable."

   "Mr. Ma also said that the people of Wu stationed all the food and grass supported by our great Han in Stone City, just to attack Wei thieves this time."

   "Anyway, the Wu people this time can be said to mobilize the army. Zhuge Yuanxun (Zhuge Ke) marched like this, maybe he was a bit reckless?"

  Zhuge Ke led a partial division, too aggressive and out of touch with the main force, and would be easily taken advantage of by the enemy.

   "It stands to reason that Sun Quan must gather an army at Chaohu Lake before he can attack the city. Based on the current distance, unless Sun Quan is in such a hurry as Zhuge Ke."

   "Otherwise, I'm afraid I might not be able to reach the city of Hefei now."

  Luo Xian should be more prudent. He nodded in agreement with Fu Qian's statement, and then said:

   "But then again, Zhuge Ke can be regarded as the leader of the generation of Wu Guo's young princes, and he is more like a teacher than a teacher."

   "Although this statement is exaggerated, but I heard that he has guarded Wankou over the years and has made many military exploits. If the rumors are true, I am afraid that this person is indeed a talented person."

   "He is doing this now, but he doesn't know if he is doing it on purpose or in a hurry to make a contribution?"

  Fu Qian pondered for a moment, then said:

   "I think the actions of the Wu people are probably deceitful."

  Hearing this, Luo Xian frowned: "Oh?"

   "Think about it, although we came here with the Wu people this time, it is impossible for them to let us go into battle. They just let us follow them to practice ships."

   "According to this reason, Zhuge Ke will not put us in danger, unless they don't care about those people who are still learning how to ride and fight in the big man."

  Fu Qian analyzed in detail:

   "If not, why not let us go to Chaohu Lake, where there will be more boating opportunities, and it will be safer."

  Luo Xian sighed:

   "It's a pity that we have no way of knowing Wu Jun's secrets."

   "It's good to deduce it..."

"Right…"

   This time, the student battalion has been following behind, saying that they are practicing the art of sailing.

  But after coming ashore from Wanshui, they have always been regarded as a logistics army, urging the civilian husband and auxiliary soldiers to transport food to the front.

   This is also expected. Since they can't go into battle, instead of sending them to watch the battle, they might as well put them behind to transport food.

   Unexpectedly, after a few days, Luo Xian and Fu Qian felt that something was wrong.

   "Why is there so much food and grass?"

   "Besides, the Wu army has been advancing continuously to the front. In the past few days, there may be tens of thousands of them?"

  Luo Xian and Fu Qian looked at each other and said in unison:

   "Mingxiu Plank Road!"

   "Crossover!"

  At this time, Zhuge Ke, who was stationed at the foot of Lu'an City on horseback, watched the soldiers encircle Lu'an City tightly, with a smile on his face.

  I saw him raise his whip and drink:

   "Send the order down, attack the city!"

  Although the siege equipment is not fully ready, it does not prevent him from testing the defense situation in the city first.

  In contrast, Wen Qin, standing on the tower of Lu'an City, had a slightly dignified expression on his face.

  For the always arrogant him to show such a look, it can only show that the situation has exceeded his imagination.

   "The people of Wu are cheating! This is not partiality at all. Wu Kou's real purpose is Lu'an!"

  Although I don't know what's going on in Hefei, but from the news that came into the city before the siege, it can be seen that Sun Quan's wandering in Chaohu Lake was intentional at all.

  After figuring this out, Wen Qin's heart tightened.

  Looked heavily at the Wu army who was gathering and preparing to attack the city. He knew that Wu Kou was testing.

  So Wen Qin asked the deputy general to guard here, while he simply turned around and went down the tower, rode on his horse, and ran to the east gate.

   Obviously, Wu Kou's focus is on the South Gate, where the troops are much thinner.

   "Come on! Open the city gate!"

   "Beat the drum!"

  Wen Qin ordered Chang Shi to lead an army to guard the city, and he personally led an elite cavalry army and rushed out of the city.

  Wu Jun has just completed the siege, especially on the east side, and has not even completed the most basic camp.

   Not to mention that it never occurred to the defenders in the city to rush out on their own initiative.

   "Fix formation, formation formation!"

  Although some Wu Jun generals reacted and shouted loudly.

  But Wen Qin was led by fine cavalry, and as soon as he left the city, he immediately urged the horse to speed up, giving Wu Jun no time to react.

  Hundreds of elite cavalry arrived with their guns raised in an instant.

  A group of Wu troops that had just assembled had been dispersed before they had time to form an formation.

  The pawns who were completely unprepared were suddenly charged by the cavalry, like paper.

  Wen Qin took the lead, charging from left to right, the halberd in his hand kept dancing, and Wu soldiers gave way one after another wherever he went.

   Those who failed to dodge in time were either stabbed to death or knocked down.

   "I am Wen Zhongruo, the champion general of the Great Wei Dynasty, who dares to fight me!"

  Wen Qin was tyrannical by nature, and his face was full of flesh. Now that he yelled like this again, Wu Zu didn't dare to come closer.

   Wei Qi, who was following him, saw how brave his general was, and was so excited that he urged his horse to follow Wen Qin.

  The West Gate of Lu'an was originally surrounded by the Wu army. There were not many troops, and there was no preparation, so it was impossible to organize a decent counterattack.

  Even if there are brave men in the army who want to raise their guns to resist, they are like a mantis holding back a car. Wen Qin didn't even touch the armor on his body, and was blocked by the guards around him.

  Several halberds flew by, blood lines floated up, and people flew out like rags.

  Wen Qin looked at the banner of the Wu army, rushed over, leaped up, held a long halberd, and struck hard.

  The flagpole made of bamboo snapped and fell down.

   "The general is mighty!"

  All the Wei soldiers shouted loudly, their morale was high.

   Wei Jun on the city wall saw Wu Jun's banner fell, and beat the drum harder and harder.

  Wen Qin led the fine cavalry, rushed across the border of the Wu army camp, then turned around again, and rushed back again.

  Wu Jun’s courage was lost when he saw the banner fell, and no one dared to stop him.

  The huge camp actually made Wen Qin feel like he was in no man's land.

   It wasn't until the soldiers of the Wu army scattered and fled that Wen Qin led the fine cavalry back into the city.

  Chang Shi came down to the city wall and greeted him personally at the city gate:

   "General Huwei, he rushed to defeat the thief, and Wu Kou was terrified!"

  Wen Qin laughed, got off his horse, regardless of the blood all over his body:

   "I know today that Zhang Wenyuan broke Sun Quan!"

  Wen Qin had a rather false reputation in the army. At this time, the soldiers in the city saw his bravery in defeating the enemy, and they were all greatly impressed.

  Although there are many Wu Kou troops outside the city, the hearts of the soldiers in the city are finally a little more stable.

   "Urgent report!"

  The defeat in the west of the city soon spread to Zhuge Ke:

   "Report to the general, it's not good, the Wei thief suddenly rushed out from the east gate, especially the leader of the thief, he is extremely brave."

   "Our army was caught off guard. The camp at the east gate was completely destroyed, and all the camps were defeated."

   "The Wei thief took the opportunity to send out his cavalry to break through the encirclement to the east. Judging from the direction, he should report to Hefei."

"Um?"

  Zhuge Ke was watching the first wave of Wu Jun's attack being crushed by the arrows of Wei Jun at the top of the city, and his brows were frowning.

   Hearing the news again, he was furious:

   "Who is the leader of the East Gate? Bind him here!"

   Soon, the Dongmen collar in disheveled armor will be **** in front of Zhuge Ke.

   "I asked you to encircle the east gate. Before the army attacked the city, you defeated the bandits. This is to destroy the morale of the army. You should be subject to military law!"

   "Come here, push him out and behead him! Pass it on to the battalions, whoever dares to underestimate the enemy is a role model!"

  Everyone thought that this person was only subjected to a dozen or even dozens of military sticks, and at most he was temporarily deprived of his position as a leader, so that he could perform crimes and make meritorious deeds.

   I didn't expect Zhuge Ke to be so cruel.

   "General, spare your life, General, spare your life!"

  The guy being dragged out kept struggling and shouting loudly.

   "General..."

   Someone wants to stand up.

  Zhuge Ke swept over coldly:

   "Whoever dares to intercede will be guilty of the same crime!"

   After a while, the beheaded head was sent over, and the generals felt awe-inspiring when they saw the **** head.

   Some people originally thought that if they couldn't attack, they would at most rob the people around Lu'an, which would be considered a harvest.

  Just at this moment, the thought disappeared.

   This Zhuge Yuanxun is not a person who talks about human feelings.

  When Ping destroyed Shanyue, he once said that the mountain people who came out of the mountain on their own initiative should not be hurt.

   Someone just saw that a certain mountain leader pretended to surrender, and in order to prevent him from making trouble, they tied him up in advance.

   Unexpectedly, in the end, Zhuge Yuanxun was beheaded for violating the prohibition.

   It seems that this siege is very different from the past.
