Chapter 122: The Battle of Hefei
"What's more, why didn't Cao Cao add the title of Han Sui and let him go to attack Sun Quan?"
Seeing that everyone was against each other, Ma Teng gave up. So he made up a random reason to reject Cao Cao's invitation to the capital. The envoy heard this and returned to Cao Cao and explained the previous situation.
Cao Cao was very disappointed when he learned that Ma Teng had rejected his request. He knew that Ma Teng had some concerns about him, so he did not dare to enter Beijing. He thought that the battle against Xiliang could not be completed overnight. At this time, he heard from Hefei.
According to the news, Sun Quan had led a large army to surround Hefei. Cao Cao heard this and couldn't help but wait for good news to come from Hefei.
Let’s talk about Sun Quan leading the army to Hefei. Zhang Liao saw that he had a few soldiers and dared not respond. So Sun Quan led his troops to surround Hefei according to Zhou Yu’s words.
Seeing this, Zhang Liao discussed with Li Dian and Le Jin about a plan to retreat to the enemy. Le Jin took out the letter Cao Cao gave him before leaving, and claimed that he would open it again when he arrived in Hefei. The three of them browsed it and then followed the
After a plan, the three of them climbed the city wall and saw that the gates of Hefei City had been surrounded by Sun Quan's soldiers. The large tent of Sun Quan's army was stationed several miles away from Xijin Bridge. From a distance, the flags of the tent were in full swing.
Flying, with armor and soldiers.
Zhang Liao said to the two of them: "Now that Sun Quan is coming in a hurry, his morale is high, so it is not appropriate to go to war."
Le Jin said: "If Sun Quan continues to siege this time, we will lose food and grass."
Li Dian also said: "If we run out of food and grass, the morale of the army will be unstable. What if it does?"
Zhang Liao said: "Sun Quan is now using the strategy of besieging the city to trap us in the city. Although this is a battle of consumption, his morale is prone to neglect, and our army is on the verge of Godadan. When his morale is low, he will be dealt with again.
It carried out a fatal blow." As he said that, the generals could not stand.
After more than ten days, neither side confronted head-on. The rising morale of Sun Quan's soldiers was gradually disappearing. Sun Quan thought that if he continued like this, he would suffer heavy losses even if he could capture Hefei. Zhuge Jin, a counselor under the tent, said: "Lord, lord."
Why should we spend more than 10,000 soldiers here with Zhang Liao?"
"Yiziyu only saw, what should I do?"
"Now our army is worse than Cao's army, so it's better to force the city to attack."
Sun Quan remembered Zhou Yu's advice: You should not go out to fight, you just need to siege the city. He said to Zhuge Jin: "Tiyu should not underestimate the enemy!"
Lu Meng also said: "Tiyu's views are not without reason, why don't we take the initiative?"
"Hefei City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, how can we attack each other?"
"Zi Ming circled around the city and found a place that could help our army advance."
"where?"
"There is a Xiaoyaojin in the water and the Feishui Interaction, which is the weak defense of the Cao army. The lord can use the advantages of our navy to break a gap from here and conquer Hefei."
Sun Quan thought for a while and asked the counselors whether this move was feasible. Some of them thought it was feasible, but the other some thought it was inappropriate. Sun Quan couldn't help but hesitate. He knew that he could not afford to lose such a war, otherwise he would be in Jiangdong.
The prestige will not be as high as that of fathers, brothers and many generals. How can you lead Jiangdong in the future?
Sun Quan thought about this and was about to ask Lu Meng to lead the navy to Xiaoyaojin for 10,000 yuan. But at this moment, a person under the tent stood up and said, "The lord is sieging the city like this. Although it is a turtle in a jar, it takes time to take
Withdraw the besieged soldiers and attack Xiaoyaojin, wouldn’t it be easy to do this?"
When Sun Quan saw that the person who was advising him was Lu Xun, he did not agree. Kan Ze also agreed with Lu Xun's words at this time. But the other people in the tent stood up and said nothing. Because in their eyes, Lu Xun was just a stinky girl.
People. Sun Quan was influenced by Zhou Yu's secret plan and turned a blind eye to him.
But when Lu Meng heard Lu Xun's explanation, it was not unreasonable. Because of this siege, he did divide the edge of his attack. Lu Meng was about to persuade him. However, Sun Quan had ordered him to lead his troops to Xiaoyaojin. Lu Meng had to retreat.
.Sun Quan led the central army to Xijin Bridge.
Lu Meng led the navy to Xiaoyaojin. Seeing this, the soldiers of Xiaoyaojin immediately entered Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao took Li Dian and Le Jin and the other two to Xiaoyaojin. The three of them reached a commanding height and met Lu Meng.
The navy was attacking Xiaoyaojin Ferry. Due to the fact that there were water supply at this ferry, there were fewer troops garrisons. Unexpectedly, Sun Quan actually used his navy commander to break the gap from here and conquer Hefei.
Zhang Liao quickly drew elite troops from various city gates to Jin Ferry to resist Lu Meng. At this moment, Sun Quan also led the central army to swarm from Xijin Bridge. Seeing the urgent situation, Zhang Liao called Dian and went in and said, "Sun Quan."
The army was besieging the city, and Lu Meng was attacking the ferry again. At this time, the army was very weak, which was a good opportunity for our attack."
Li Dian said: "But we can only draw out thousands of people to fight at this time. The huge gap in troops is probably useless."
Zhang Liao said: "Once Xiaoyaojin is captured, there will be no chance to counterattack. Now, taking advantage of the weak army, we will defeat our arrogance. What are your doubts about success or failure in this battle?"
"Since that's the case, you can only fight to the death."
Zhang Liao looked at the ground conditions of Xiaoyaojin and suddenly had an idea: "There is a small lion bridge near Xijin Bridge. We can block Sun Quan's central army outside the small lion bridge."
"How to stop each other?" Li Dian asked anxiously.
"We can lay ambushers near the Lion Bridge. When Sun Quan comes, he will cause someone to destroy the bridge so that the troops cannot follow, and then they can defeat the enemy."
The three of them finished their discussion and asked Le to defend the city. Li Dian waited for an opportunity to move. When all the soldiers besieged in the city went to rescue Sun Quan, they would strike again. They also asked dozens of archers to ambush near the Lion Bridge to wait for Sun Quan.
. Zhang Liao said, then he carried a knife and got on his horse, and rushed towards Xiaoyaojin with hundreds of people.
Seeing hundreds of cavalry coming in Zhang Liao, Lu Meng also led Ding Feng, Xu Sheng and others to meet him. Zhang Liao defeated Ding Feng and Xu Sheng several rounds and took Lu Meng straight away. Lu Meng met with his two halberds.
People kill no matter how far they are.
While the two were fighting, Sun Quan led the central army from Xijinqiao. Chen Wu, Pan Zhang and other generals also rushed over. Zhang Liao left Lu Meng to fight the two. When they waved their swords to meet each other, they killed several times.
A member of the Lu Meng Guard was suddenly filled with blood on the sword. Everyone was disappointed when they saw it. Ding and Xu fought with him for several rounds and were defeated.
Since then, Zhang Liao slashed and killed Zhang Liao with big swords left and right, and countless casualties were killed and injured. Seeing that Zhang Liao was brave enough, the soldiers were about to unite to defeat him. Seeing this, Zhang Liao did not dare to fight. So he rode his horse and shuttled between the troops.
Dozens of besieged soldiers were rescued. Zhang Liao was stained with blood at this time and his war horses leaped. All those who blocked the battle were killed by the sword.
Just after passing through the Little Lion Bridge, Sun Quan saw Zhang Liao's extremely bravery and did not dare to move forward. But at this moment, the bridge behind him suddenly collapsed. Sun Quan was shocked and looked back and saw that he had been cut off from the Central Army.
