Chapter 62: Isn't Jingzhou something you can covet?(1/2)
After the Wu army learned that the Wuxi barbarians were assisting the Jingzhou army.
There was an uproar and panic among the military formations.
The Wu generals also fell into astonishment.
They never expected that their own attempt to rebel against the barbarians failed, and instead they sided with the Jingzhou army.
Various units of the barbarian army slowly attacked.
Ma Su also contacted Ma Zhong and Zhang Yi's troops in advance.
Both sides launched an offensive to cross the Zhongshui defense line.
But even Chen Wu had already built defenses along the coast.
However, they never expected that there would be many barbarian soldiers several times their own size to assist them.
Under a sudden violent attack, Wu Jun's defensive pressure suddenly doubled.
As the intensity of the attack increased, Chen Wu led his troops to resist tenaciously, and the battle situation also fell into an unfavorable situation.
He had no choice but to send someone to Leiyang for help.
The battle report arrives.
After Wei Wei read the content, he could feel the urgency of the military situation from his words. Lu Meng's eyebrows became serious unconsciously, and his expression gradually became a bit unnatural.
But the barbarian soldiers' involvement was something he had not expected in advance.
Now that Chen Wu is in a hurry, he can't ignore it!
Give instructions.
Lü Meng sent a group of troops to Nanping to provide assistance and consolidate the Zhongshui defense line.
And at this moment.
Accidents happen.
Troops were stationed on the north bank of Lei River. The main force of the Jingzhou Army, which had not moved at all for many days, was now making new movements as battle reports quickly arrived.
Zhao Tong personally ordered his ministries to support various ships, force them to cross the Lei River, and attack Leiyang City.
Looking like this, the Jingzhou Army is quite ready to attack on a large scale!
At this time, Lu Meng was on the front line in person, raising his eyes to carefully observe the Jingzhou Army on the other side, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind, and sometimes he was filled with suspicion.
"What on earth is Zhao Tong doing?"
"Why did they suddenly launch a large-scale attack?"
After a lot of guessing, Lu Meng's eyebrows slowly widened and he said thoughtfully: "Did the enemy army wait for the barbarian's decision before?"
A silent murmur in my heart.
Lu Meng still had an extremely serious expression on his face.
But I felt uneasy in my heart.
"With the help of the barbarians, I am afraid that any attempt to annex the counties in Jingzhou will be in vain now!"
"It's just that the land route to retreat to Jiangdong has been blocked by the Jingzhou Army."
"But I don't know how my lord is going to deal with it next."
Come to think of it, he was still commanding calmly.
The next battle.
Zhao Tong divided his troops into three groups to attack the beaches along the coast and put pressure on the Wu army.
at the same time.
On the other side of the Zhongshui defense line, even if reinforcements arrive, the defensive pressure is still considerable.
A letter asking for help.
As well as the all-out attack by the main force of the Jingzhou Army, the troops under his command have been stretched thin.
Lu Meng himself also suffered from red eyes and haggard heart due to this incident.
In desperation, he sent a letter to Qujiang, asking Bu Zhao to take his headquarters to assist Chen Wu's defense in order to stabilize the overall situation.
He secretly estimated the time and observed the development of the battle.
After seeing that the resistance of the Wu army on the front was slightly weakened, Zhao Tong quickly made a decision and ordered Guan Ping, Liu Yinshi to implement the original plan.
That night, taking advantage of the darkness, he led an army and left quietly.
All of this seems to be extremely secretive, with not the slightest trace revealed.
Next.
In order to deceive others and prevent Wu Jun from seeing the flaw.
Zhao Tong still went to the front line to supervise the battle.
The two armies continued to engage in fierce battles around the beachhead around Leishui.
Or a land battle, or a water battle...
The fierce battle is in full swing, it can be said to be a joy!
Lu Meng's keen sense of smell is also extraordinary.
After fierce battles again and again, he could vaguely feel that the Jingzhou Army's offensive seemed to have weakened and was not as fierce as before.
This moment of effort made him immediately wary!
And more people were sent to sneak out secretly to find out the news.
I thought about it for a long time.
Lu Meng's face suddenly turned pale.
"The enemy's offensive has obviously weakened in the past few days, so obviously its goal from the beginning was not to forcibly cross the Lei River."
"And the only thing that has a chance now is..."
As soon as he thought of this, the expression on his face suddenly changed, giving rise to an extremely horrifying look, and he secretly exclaimed: "You County is the end point of the lower reaches of the Lei River."
"If this place is lost, there will be a gap in the Leishui defense line."
"Could it be said that the Jingzhou army launched a forceful attack with all its strength to lower the general's vigilance, but in fact the enemy general's original plan was to secretly attack You County?"
These words gradually took root in my heart.
Gradually, his mind became less calm.
"The defense strength of You County is not sufficient. If the enemy general has a plan in advance, then this place will be in danger!"
One voice after another muttered secretly.
In an instant, an extremely fierce look appeared on Lu Meng's face.
He sent his scouts to You County quickly and secretly, taking advantage of the opportunity before the Jingzhou Army arrived to inform the defenders that they must strengthen their precautions.
only.
The order has been issued.
More than ten days later.
The scouts scattered around Leiyang couldn't help but quickly returned with shocked expressions.
From their eyes, Lu Meng seemed to have seen something bad was going on, and the ominous premonition in his chest was getting deeper and deeper.
"General, according to the emergency report sent back from You County, a heavily armed Jingzhou army suddenly came to the city a few days ago. Before our soldiers in the city could react, they launched a fierce attack."
"Under the fierce attack for days and nights, there was no chance to breathe."
"The garrison sergeants in You County were unable to withstand the pressure and eventually the city was destroyed!"
"What?"
As soon as these battle reports came out.
Lu Mengton exclaimed and roared.
He really didn't expect that the Jingzhou Army would have successfully attacked just now that he had noticed it.
Such decisiveness in using troops is really frightening.
"This man's skills in military use are really great."
"It seems that it is not something to be underestimated!"
After a while, the words fell.
Lu Meng couldn't help but admire the general Zhao Tong who was on the other side now, but there was also a trace of fear on his face.
"Report!"
Just when Lu Meng was a little upset, another loud shout came.
To be continued...
