In the battle of Anfengjin, Dian Wei led the 8,000 Western Qin army to a great victory. The Wu army generals Tai Shici, Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong were all killed in the battle. The 10,000 Wu army suffered casualties of nearly 9,000, and the rest surrendered. However, the Wu army finally surrendered.
The counterattack also brought a lot of trouble to Dian Wei's army. The eight thousand soldiers of the Western Qin Army suffered casualties of nearly three thousand. Of course, even so, this battle can be called a great victory!
After the battle of An Fengjin, Sun Ce in Shouchun had no movement anymore. He seemed to have given up his intention to defend Shouchun. And Dian Wei no longer cared so much, but started following Luo Yang's previous instructions.
It’s time to carry out the next task, which is to block the Huaihe River!
That's right! The idea that Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia gave Luo Yang to attack Shouchun was to use the water of the Huaihe River to flood the city wall of Shouchun! In fact, after just giving Luo Yang this idea, Luo Yang also hesitated. Although over the years
, Luo Yang killed many people on the battlefield, but when the water from the Huaihe River flooded Shouchun, it was not only Sun Ce's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses who died, but also all the people in Shouchun City!
Luo Yang is naturally not a good person, but Luo Yang cannot do such a thing of drowning so many innocent people in one breath. Moreover, even from the perspective of profit, if Luo Yang's battle is to be gained at the expense of the people of Shouchun City
If he wins, the reputation that Luo Yang has worked so hard for these years will be destroyed! But later Xi Zhicai also explained to Luo Yang that although the water of the Huaihe River can break down the walls of Shouchun City, as long as it is done properly,
If the interception points are set up, the Huaihe River water will not cause any harm to the people in the city. At most, it will destroy the city wall! After receiving Xi Zhicai's assurance, Luo Yang made up his mind and agreed to this method.
As for choosing the interception point, this job is not something that a big boss like Dian Wei can do, so Luo Yang also specially transferred Mo Qi, the current head of the Moh family, from Chang'an City to measure and choose in person. This matter may be difficult for ordinary people.
, but for Mo Qi, who had already inherited the unique skills of Mo Sect, it was just a little more effort.
After spending ten days, Dian Wei and Mo Qi finally successfully blocked the Huaihe River. Dian Wei did not hide anything in doing this, and he did it openly. In doing so, Dian Wei also
He was ordered by Luo Yang. The reason is very simple, because Luo Yang does not need to worry that Sun Ce will see through this plan. If Sun Ce really goes out of the city to stop Dian Wei's actions, it will be more in line with Luo Yang's wishes. Without the reliance of the city wall, Sun Ce
The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are no match for the Western Qin Army!
The result was exactly the same. Sun Ce still defended Shouchun City and refused to fight, while Wenpin and Pang Tong, whom Luo Yang had sent before, led 10,000 troops to Xuyi City to hold Zhou Yu back. In this way, Dian Wei and Mo Qi
Excavation was started right next to the Huaihe River.
As the embankment blocking the Huaihe River was cut off, the water of the Huaihe River, which had been accumulating for more than ten days, began to surge toward Shouchun City in the distance. Standing on the high embankment, Luo Yang looked ahead with a pair of eyes.
, the shadow of Shouchun City can be vaguely seen from here. Although Mo Qi had already patted his chest to ensure it, Luo Yang was still a little worried that the river water would rush into Shouchun City and flood the people in the city.
As the flood approached Shouchun City more and more, Luo Yang's heart slowly rose to his throat. This was the first time in so many years that Luo Yang was so nervous. With a loud bang, the flood finally hit the wall of Shouchun City.
, because it was too far away, Luo Yang couldn't see clearly what was going on for a while. He could only see the huge waves of the flood splashing high after hitting the wall of Shouchun City. Luo Yang was anxious.
He knew the result, but he still refused to reveal it. Luo Yang was so anxious that he couldn't help but stamp his feet.
"Successful! Successful!" Soon, Mo Qi, who was behind Luo Yang, exclaimed. Although he was very confident in his judgment, the stakes in this matter were too great. Even Mo Qi
He was also worried. But now, Mo Qi saw clearly that outside Shouchun City in the distance, the flood hit a corner of the city wall of Shouchun City, completely destroying the city wall, but only a small part of the water seeped in.
The remaining floodwater rubbed against the corners of the city wall and surged toward the outside of Shouchun City. According to Mo Qi's calculation, the floodwater would flow back to the Huaihe River and eventually into Hongze Lake.
Seeing that the plan was successful, Luo Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted to the generals behind him who were already ready to go: "All the troops on board! Attack Shouchun City!" The ship had been prepared a long time ago, and although there was no flood now,
It was so fierce before, but it can't be retreated for a while. If you want to get to Shouchun from here, you have to rely on boats. Besides, taking a boat is much faster than walking. According to the current speed of the flood, I'm afraid it will take a long time.
In less than half a day, you can reach the outside of Shouchun City from here!
After hearing Luo Yang's order, the generals sang in unison, but one of them had a sad face, and that was Dian Wei, who had just made great achievements in the battle at Anfengjin. Maybe it was really a matter of talent, Dian Wei.
The fear of water has not changed over the years. I thought that this attack on Shouchun City would not require dealing with water, but with the current situation, Dian Wei may not be able to participate in the next battle!
"Haha! Lao Dian! Just take your time and rest here! Leave the rest to me!" Seeing Dian Wei's bitter face, Zhou Cang laughed proudly, jumped up, and
Jumped from the river embankment to a boat below. Zhou Cang is originally from the south. He grew up by the river when he was a child. His water skills are much better than those of ordinary people, let alone compared with Dian Wei. In order to show off, Zhou Cang
After Cang landed on the boat, he swayed from side to side, showing that he was very capable.
Seeing Zhou Cang's frustrated look, Luo Yang couldn't help but laugh and shouted: "Zhou Cang! Stop talking nonsense! Prepare to charge!"
Following Luo Yang's order, hundreds of large and small warships headed for Shouchun City along the flooded river. These ships were all urgently transferred from Jingzhou. Since Yuzhou fell under Luo Yang's account, Jingzhou and Yangzhou
They are also connected together, and the dispatch of these ships from Jingzhou is very smooth.
The scale of hundreds of large and small warships is very large. They directly loaded 50,000 soldiers of the Western Qin Army into it, and marched towards Shouchun City in such a mighty manner. Although Sun Ce had never left the city to hinder the interception of the Western Qin Army.
I feel a little confused about the Huaihe River, but now that he has led so many soldiers and horses, Luo Yang no longer cares so much! In the face of absolute strength, no matter how cunning a plan is, he can't save the defeat!
In half an hour, Zhou Cang, who was at the forefront, had already arrived outside Shouchun City. At this time, the water surface of the flood was not far from the city head. Zhou Cang jumped directly from the boat.
At the top of the city, although the remaining soldiers were not as skilled as Zhou Cang, the city wall, which had become only as high as one person, was completely unable to block their attack.
Soon, the soldiers of the Western Qin Army surged onto the city top like a black tide. But what shocked them was that they did not see even half of the defenders on the city top! The first ones who rushed to the city head were
Zhou Cang was also dumbfounded, why were there no enemies? Immediately Zhou Cang angrily shouted to the soldiers on his left and right: "Why are you still standing there? Search for me! I don't believe there is no one in the entire city.
!”
With Zhou Cang's voice, the soldiers finally came to their senses and spread out one after another, searching for enemies throughout the city. But after searching for a long time, they still couldn't find a single figure. There were two of them.
The soldiers finally came to a warehouse located in the center of the city. This is a necessary warehouse for ordinary city walls. Some equipment for defending the city is stored in it. However, the door of this warehouse was closed, and the two soldiers were talking to each other.
After taking a look, they found that this warehouse was the only one left in the entire city that had not been searched. The two of them immediately stepped forward to open the door.
At the same time, not far away, Zhou Cang's face became gloomy after listening to the reports of other soldiers, because the reports of these soldiers all had the same result - no enemies were found on the city walls! Zhou Cang did not
Thinking of nothing else, I was the first to attack the city head excitedly, but found that there was not even half an enemy on the city wall, which made me feel a little discouraged.
"Old Zhou! What's going on?" A muffled voice sounded from behind Zhou Cang. Zhou Cang knew whose voice it was without even looking. The voice was rough and honest, and the entire Western Qin Army
There was only one person in the city who could make such a voice. Zhou Cang looked back at Xu Chu, who had just climbed up to the top of the city and looked at Zhou Cang with a strange expression on his face.
If we want to say who Zhou Cang has the best relationship with in the Western Qin Army, it must be Xu Chu! The battle in Langcheng was the first cooperation between Zhou Cang and Xu Chu. At that time, Xu Chu was just an unknown soldier.
, it can be said that Zhou Cang promoted Xu Chu. Xu Chu and Zhou Cang had similar temperaments. Zhou Cang was reckless and impulsive, but Xu Chu was honest and honest. The two of them often competed in martial arts together. So when they talked,
, and I am more relaxed than with others.
Seeing Xu Chu coming, Zhou Cang lowered his head and said dejectedly: "Old Xu! Damn it! I finally rushed to the top of the city first, but who knew that there wasn't even a ghost in the whole city! My lord had previously said
There is a ban again, we are only allowed to capture the city head, but we are not allowed to enter the city easily! Could it be that we will have to wait here for a long time? "
What Zhou Cang said was that Luo Yang was being cautious and had issued an order to the generals. Only the top of the city was allowed to be captured. As long as the top of the city was occupied, the entire Shouchun City was considered to have been conquered. As for the inside of the city, it had to wait until
After Luo Yang arrived, he slowly made a decision.
Xu Chu also knew Zhou Cang's character, and just wanted to comfort him, but before Xu Chu could say anything, suddenly, a scream sounded from not far away, attracting the attention of the two of them!
