The east city gate was captured by the Wu army, but a fierce battle was going on at the south city gate.
"Bold Ding Feng!"
At the gate of the city, Le Wei stood on horseback and shouted sternly, "Wei and Wu are allies, but you dare to start a war!"
After a fight, the Wu army had actually breached the city gate, but Le Wei personally came to the city to organize soldiers to stop the attack, also under the leadership of Le Wei.
More than two thousand Wei troops followed the prefect Le Wei and stunned the Wu troops who had rushed into the city gate and beat them out.
At this moment, the two sides set up their battle formations. Facing Le Wei's scolding, Ding Feng sneered and said: "Cao Wei usurps, and everyone will be punished."
"How outrageous!" Le Wei shouted loudly.
Although Le Wei was very angry, he was actually very worried.
The city gate has also been breached, and the opponent has a large number of people.
Keep fighting,
It is extremely detrimental to the Wei army.
However, he had no retreat.
"Kill!"
Le Wei rode forward, led more than two thousand Wei troops, and charged towards Ding Feng.
Now, the only thing we can do is to resist as long as we can.
"Reinforcements!"
"Reinforcements!"
"Reinforcements come quickly!"
During the charge, Le Wei prayed silently, praying that reinforcements would arrive in time.
"Kill!"
Ding Feng was also eager to kill at this time. After several days of attacks, the city of Hefei was about to be breached. Naturally, he would not miss this good opportunity.
Just when Ding Feng and Le Wei were strangulating at the south city gate, Sun Quan, who was on the outside, of course also saw the fighter planes appearing.
"Kill!"
Sun Quan also drew his sword from his waist and commanded the army to rush over.
Hefei belongs to me today, Dawu.
After several days of fierce fighting, although Wu Jun's losses were not small, with nearly 30,000 killed, Wu Jun dispatched 100,000 troops this time.
Now the Wei army comes out of the city to fight again,
The balance of victory has tipped to Wu Jun.
Get a bargain——
Whether it was Sun Quan, the Great Emperor of Soochow, or the remaining civil servants and generals, they were all very positive.
In an instant, tens of thousands of Soochow troops were in the wilderness outside the south city gate. Facing thousands of Wei troops, they showed no mercy. Relying on their numerical advantage, they quickly defeated the Wei troops and retreated steadily.
"Don't retreat, anyone who retreats will be killed!"
After Le Wei was worthy of being a famous general, he did not flinch in the face of an enemy force ten times his own. After several charges, he simply jumped off his horse and fought tooth and nail with his soldiers to resist the Wu army.
"Kill him!" Ding Feng also shouted loudly and rushed straight towards Le Wei. He could also see that this Cao Wei general was extremely brave.
These several attacks,
Already killed dozens of Soochow generals.
Kill him, kill him.
If this person is not killed in this battle,
I'm afraid it will be difficult to end the battle quickly.
Ding Feng wanted to kill Le Wei, and Le Wei naturally wanted to kill Ding Feng.
Although the Wei army is now at an absolute disadvantage, Le Wei did not compromise because of this. In his opinion, as long as Ding Feng is killed, the Wu army may be frightened by him and may be defeated.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Ding Feng rushed forward, waved the spear in his hand, and stabbed Le Wei directly.
Facing the spear that was getting closer and closer, Le Wei showed no fear. He only heard him shout loudly and faced it with the big knife in his hand.
Bang——
There was a crisp collision sound, and the swords and spears trembled at the same time, causing the masters who used them to feel a sharp pain.
Ding Feng took a step back, with deep respect for the opponent in front of him. From then on, he became highly skilled in martial arts, not inferior to his father in the slightest.
Of course, Le Wei did not dare to underestimate Ding Feng.
"Kill!"
The first to attack was the young Le Wei. Although he respected Ding Feng for his bravery, at this moment, two armies were on an expedition and they had to fight to the death.
Facing the charging Le Wei, Ding Feng did not charge, but retreated quickly, waiting for Le Wei to continue moving forward.
"Roar!"
Le Wei had already charged for more than ten steps. At this time, Ding Feng thought it was time. He shouted loudly and immediately raised his spear, knocking away the sword that was coming towards him. At that moment, he flew up and kicked straight.
Forced to kick Leyi in the abdomen.
Although Le Wei was young, he had experienced many wars. When he saw Ding Feng flying back and kicking him, he hurriedly dodged to the side, but Ding Feng's kick missed.
The soldiers from Wei and Wu who were fighting around them were shocked by these two generals at this moment.
"Protect the general!"
Suddenly, a Wei Jun commander shouted loudly. He led several of his companions and rushed towards Ding Feng, wanting to help Le Wei kill Ding Feng.
"Kill them!"
Seeing that the Wei army wanted to help their general, the Wu army naturally saw it too. Now that the Wu army is about to capture Hefei, how can their brave and invincible general be threatened at this time?
Before several Wei troops who wanted to help Le Wei rushed forward, they were blocked by more than ten Wu troops who came forward. The scene was instantly chaotic. Ding Feng and Le Wei fought repeatedly, and the soldiers of Wu and Wei also fought to the death. p>
If we just talk about the comparison of military strength, the Wu army clearly has an absolute advantage, but the Wei army, which has only a thousand people left, still follows Le Wei. They do not disperse, but use the city gate as their position, with the tall city wall as their backing. Since then, although the Wu army has a numerical advantage, they can only attack from three directions. Due to the concentration of Wei army personnel, many Wu troops cannot rush in at this time and can only keep shouting outside.
"乐綝!"
Suddenly, among the shouts of killing, there was a loud shout, which shocked Wei Jun into a complete panic.
Because this sound came from the city gate hole.
"Hefei has been destroyed, why don't you surrender quickly!"
The person who came was Quan Cong, the governor of Soochow. He came at the right time. Just when the morale of the Wei army was at its peak, he gave the Wei army a bucket of cold water.
Wu Jun fought out of the city, and their remaining hope was shattered at this moment.
Ding Feng, who was having a great fight with Le Wei, was overjoyed when he saw Quan Cong leading his troops to charge out. He kicked Le Wei away while he was dazed, took a few steps back, pointed his spear at Le Wei, and shouted loudly:
"Le Wei, the situation is over, surrender!"
"Don't even think about it!"
"Kill!"
Although Le Wei was angry, he had no idea of surrender. At this moment, he only had one thought, that is, if the city is alive and the people are alive, the city will be destroyed and people will die.
The morale of the Wei army was high at first, but when the Wu army came out of the city, its momentum was greatly reduced in an instant, because it was obvious that the Wu army had broken through the city, and they were now unable to advance or retreat. They were in a desperate situation.<
/p>
Although the Wei army is now facing a desperate situation, no Wei army has laid down their weapons and surrendered, because they saw their general and was still fighting with the Wu army.
More than a thousand Wei troops were surrounded by Wu troops.
Wu Jun kept squeezing forward, making the originally small space shrink even smaller.
The so-called fight between trapped beasts was something Wei Jun fully understood at this time.
The outcome was already determined. Ding Feng was not charging, but was leading his soldiers to continuously compress the Wei army's space. At this moment, these more than a thousand Wei troops had no chance of escape even if they fought desperately.
However, Ding Feng does not want to kill the opposing general now.
"General Le!" Ding Feng said as he moved forward: "The destruction of Hefei City was not the fault of the general. I love and cherish the general's talents and cannot bear to kill the general."
"Hmph!" Le Wei let out a loud snort, then swung his broadsword, pointed at Ding Feng and said angrily: "We, the great Wei Dynasty, are in heaven, how can I, Le Wei, surrender to you?"
Just after saying these words, Le Wei also felt tremendous pressure. He naturally knew that if he continued to fight, no one of the more than a thousand Wei troops behind him would survive.
At this moment, he was angry and resentful.
"Ah!" Le Wei suddenly raised his head to the sky and howled angrily, roaring: "God will not bless Wei. If I am not, Le Wei will fight to the death. If it is not me, Le Wei will fight to the death. If it is not me, Le Wei will fight to the death."
This roar made even Wu Jun's hair stand on end in shock.
In the midst of everyone's shock and anger, Le Wei suddenly flicked his wrist, and the long handle of the knife quickly slid backwards. In an instant, Ding Feng was so shocked that he shouted and stopped him: "No, General Le!"
However, it's still too late.
The blade of the knife was quickly drawn, and a surge of hot blood spurted out from his neck. Le Wei glared at Wu Jun in front of him, and the big knife in his hand slammed into the ground beside him. Le Wei just relied on the support of the big knife, and he was steady.
Stand firmly in front of everyone.
"General!"
"General!"
More than a thousand Wei troops screamed, their general was dead and left behind. They could not charge into battle with their general.
"General!"
"General!"
Le Wei slowly closed his eyes as more than a thousand Wei troops looked around.
As Le Wei committed suicide in front of the formation, the remaining thousands of Wei troops, although there were only a few soldiers, chose to follow their general and wiped his own neck with a knife.
But the vast majority of the Wei army finally laid down their weapons.
After several days of fighting, Sun Quan finally entered Hefei City this time.
Hefei Prefect's Mansion.
Sun Quan was in a good mood. He had commanded Jiangdong for more than ten years, and he had attacked the city of Hefei several times. Until today, he finally succeeded in occupying the city.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
"The victory in this battle is all the result of all the ministers!"
"The merits of all the ministers!"
Sun Quan stroked his beard with satisfaction and said with a smile: "We have won this battle. Who dares to say that Wu is not good at land warfare? Who! Who! Who!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Bu Zhao complimented.
However, Sun Quan ignored him, but turned to look at Quan Cong and said: "Quan Cong, if there is no general in this battle, how can I be here..." He paused and then said: "General.
He is no less talented than Gong Jin."
This evaluation is a bit high, even Quan Cong was flattered.
Who is Gong Jin? He is Zhou Yu, the governor of Soochow.
"Quan Cong listens to the title!" Sun Quan said: "I grant you the title of Great Sima of Wu."
"!!!"
Everyone was stunned. Quan Cong was named Grand Sima in the first battle, with the same rank as General Lu Xun. This is what many people had guessed before. If he wins this battle, Quan Cong's status will be greatly improved.<
/p>
"I thank you, Your Majesty!"
Quan Cong immediately came out to express his gratitude. Of course, he was in a very comfortable mood.
Sun Quan was very satisfied. The great victory in this battle was all because of Quan Cong. If it weren't for Quan Cong's reminder that night, perhaps at this time, the Wu army would have been defeated again.
"Ding Feng!"
After sealing Quan Cong, Sun Quan will naturally not forget Ding Feng. If Quan Cong takes the first credit in this battle, the one who has the greatest remaining credit must be Ding Feng.
"The general is here!" Ding Feng also responded.
"My beloved is so brave in this battle, I will make you the General of Zhenbei and the Governor of Hefei!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ding Feng was naturally overjoyed. Before this, he was just an ordinary general. Even if he led an army, he could only lead an army of five thousand.
But now, he is the general of Zhenbei and also the governor of Hefei.
Hefei, this is the city that Soochow has always wanted to capture, because once Soochow captures Hefei, it will be much easier for Soochow to make the Northern Expedition. It has been unable to do the Northern Expedition before because the waterway is blocked by Hefei.
The emperor entrusted him with such an important position, and Ding Feng naturally knew how much the emperor valued him.
After awarding the rewards to the two generals, Sun Quan did not forget to ask: "How is the current situation of the generals?"
As soon as Sun Quan finished speaking, everyone in the hall immediately shut up.
In this Northern Expedition, Dawu attacked from two directions.
Emperor Sun Quan led an army of 100,000 to attack Hefei, and General Lu Xun led an army of 50,000 to attack Fancheng. Sun Quan certainly had a good idea. If Hefei and Fancheng were conquered, the passage for Wu to go north would be completely opened.
But——
No one in the hall has spoken now. It's not that they are too far apart and the information is blocked. In fact, many people in the hall know the battle situation in Fancheng.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Sun Quan was a little dissatisfied: "Why are the ministers silent?"
"Your Majesty!"
In desperation, Bu Zhao stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, the general has surrounded Fancheng a few days ago... but..."
"Just what?" Sun Quan asked.
"It's just... it's just..." Bu Zhi said, frowning slightly, and said: "Not long after the general arrived in Fancheng, Cao Rui sent Sima Yi to help Fancheng..."
Bu Zhi said and stopped. Even if he didn't say the next words, Sun Quan had already guessed the result.
Sima Yi!
It's Sima Yi again. Sun Quan naturally knows who Sima Yi is. This man is as scheming as Zhuge of the Shu Han Dynasty. Since Cao Rui sent him to lead the troops to rescue Fancheng, even if Lu Xun is brave and invincible, it will be difficult to defeat Fancheng in a short time.
......
Fancheng——
Lu Xun frowned, waiting to sit in the tent.
The army has been in Fancheng for more than ten days, but now the Wu army is unable to move forward. There is a fortified city in front of it and Cao Wei's reinforcements behind it.
In the past few days, the Dongwu soldiers and horses led by Lu Xun were quietly guarding outside Fancheng, neither attacking Fancheng nor attacking Sima Yi's reinforcements.
The two armies just maintained a state of confrontation.
Lu Xun had no choice but to maintain the confrontation. After all, he only brought 50,000 troops, 20,000 of which were naval troops. However, as for the Wei army, Fancheng had 15,000 defenders, and Sima Yi brought 40,000 soldiers and horses to help.
It seems that the strength of the two sides is not much different, but among Sima Yi's 40,000 people, there are still 15,000 cavalry, which gives Lu Xun a headache.
Just these fifteen thousand cavalry were enough for Lu Xun to drink a pot, not to mention other soldiers and horses.
Lu Xun was very worried, unable to advance and unable to retreat.
Just when Lu Xun was sitting at his desk thinking about countermeasures, a schoolboy suddenly came in from outside.
"General!"
After receiving the money, Xiao Xiao saluted Lu Xun.
"What's the matter?" Lu Xun asked.
"Return to the general!" The colonel bowed and said: "Hefei battle report!"
Lu Xun, who was originally silent, suddenly straightened up and seemed to be excited. He now really wanted to hear news from Hefei.
"Quickly tell me how your Majesty's battle is going!"
Lu Xun was somewhat hopeful that maybe this news would allow him to make the right decision.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." The principal seemed a little nervous and a little excited: "Your Majesty conquered Hefei two days ago."
"What...what...what?" Lu Xun couldn't believe his ears and asked, "Your Majesty has conquered Hefei. Is this true?"
"Back to the general!" the colonel said with certainty: "It's absolutely true!"
Hiss——
Lu Xun was suddenly stunned. This result was not what he expected. Although the emperor brought an army of 100,000 people this time, and was assisted by the governor Quan Cong, Lu Xun still felt that the outcome of the emperor's trip to Hefei would not be good.
Go there.
Wu Jun won. Instead of being particularly excited, Lu Xun fell into deep thought.
He has actually been waiting for the battle report from Hefei these days. According to his expectation, the emperor's attack on Hefei will definitely be in vain. After all, this is not the first time.
As long as he gets news of the emperor's defeat in Hefei, he may also choose to take advantage of the situation and withdraw his troops.
This is not to say that Lu Xun wanted to preserve his strength, but that he knew better that since Fancheng was difficult to capture, rather than spending a lot of troops and losing troops, it would be better to retain a certain amount of fresh troops for Wu.
The three kingdoms of Han, Wei, and Wu were in a powerful position, and the Wu army was the worst in land warfare.
During the Battle of Yiling, it may be said that Lu Xun was in his youth and was assisting the Ming Dynasty to fight for the world, but after more than ten years of hard work, he actually recognized the emperor's proposition.
Keep Jiangdong's foundation and wait for the opportunity.
Sun Quan's so-called timing is when the Han and Wei dynasties bite each other. When the two families bite each other to the point of losing, Soochow will come out to clean up the mess, and they may be able to reap the benefits.
But——
He never dreamed that the emperor, who had failed to attack Hefei several times in more than ten years, would have conquered the city of Hefei in less than ten days this time.
"General!"
"General!"
The principal also noticed that Lu Xun was confused, so he called out a few times.
"Oh!" Lu Xun came to his senses and said slowly: "Nothing, nothing, please step back first!"
"No!"
The principal responded and immediately exited the big tent.
‘Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty actually broke Hefei?’
'...'
The news that Hefei was captured by Sun Quan not only reached the Wu Army camp outside Fancheng, but Sima Yi also got the news at the same time.
Sima Yi was naturally frightened. Hefei was a very important border town for the Wei Dynasty. Once Hefei was captured, the Soochow navy could move up the waterway at any time. In the west, it could approach Luoyang, the royal capital, and in the east, it could attack the two states of Xuzhou. This matter was a bit serious, so Sima Yi immediately wrote to Luoyang, asking the emperor to send more troops to attack Hefei, and stated the serious relationship between Hefei's gains and losses.
A few days later——
Luoyang Imperial Palace.
Cao Rui looked at the Hefei battle report and Sima Yi's memorial. His hands were trembling, and his face was heavy and panicked.
"Hefei is lost!"
"Hefei is lost!"
Cao Rui suddenly said: "Hefei is lost, and our great Wei Dynasty is in danger, in danger!"
"Preach the message!"
Cao Rui really couldn't accept the loss of Hefei, and immediately said: "The three armies can be reorganized. I will personally conquer the army and regain the lost land."
"Your Majesty!"
Yang Fu, the young master, came out and said: "Your Majesty, no. Although Hefei has been temporarily captured by Soochow, your Majesty must not go out in person. Your Majesty is concerned with the safety of the empire, and you must not conquer it yourself."
"Hmph!" Cao Rui snorted, but continued: "Sun Quan dares to invade our territory of the Wei Dynasty. I can't bear it."
Although some ministers also advised the emperor not to go out easily, after all, Cao Shuang, the commander-in-chief, had been sent to assist Hefei before. Even if Sun Quan captured Hefei before Cao Shuang, I believe that when Cao Shuang arrived, Sun Quan's footing was not stable. With Cao Shuang's ability,
It is not impossible to retake Hefei.
However, Cao Rui was really angry. Liu Adou of Western Shu was already very annoying. He went on two expeditions as a chariot, but the first time he was beaten to the point where he lost all his armor and fled back to Luoyang in embarrassment.
The second time, he was captured alive by Liu Chan directly in Jinzhong, and ended up being a prisoner in Chang'an for more than half a year. Now he is sitting on the throne of the Wei emperor again.
Sun Quan, I swear to capture you alive.
Against all odds, Cao Rui decided to go on a personal expedition, leaving Crown Prince Cao Fang to guard Luoyang, with Cui Lin as his assistant.
Cao Rui went on a personal expedition.
This matter soon spread to Chang'an City.
Weiyang Palace.
Xuanshi Hall.
"Sun Shiwan can do it!" Liu Chan chuckled: "When did he stop being such a coward? He can even capture Hefei?"
Zhuge Liang laughed happily when he heard this, but did not speak.
Of course Liu Chan was a little surprised. According to historical records, Sun Quan attacked Hefei countless times in his life, but returned without success every time.
But, how did he do it this time?
"Xiangfu!" Liu Chan suddenly looked at Zhuge Liang and asked: "Soochow has conquered Hefei, what should I, a big man... do?"
