The Three Kingdoms began with the rescue of Mrs. Mi

Chapter 388 Hefei, Liu Feng is here

Lei Xiu wanted to pay homage to his younger brother Lei Yuan, and Ding Feng also had his uncle Ding Lizhan who died on the mountain road.

The vanguard of the Han army led by Ding Feng and Lei Xiu, mainly the children of Jianghuai, was small in number, only [-] people.

Those Jianghuai disciples who followed Lei Xuqianli to Jingzhou at the beginning took out the relics of their loved ones who died in battle, and offered a remote sacrifice to the Long March that changed the fate of the three tribes of Lujiang River.

"Following that, get up. Brother Lei doesn't want to see us cry. When we get to the city of Hefei, we will find another opportunity to avenge the brothers who died in battle."

With red eyes, Ding Feng pulled up the one-armed Lei Xiu.

Lei Xiu shook his body, and after kneeling for a long time, he was a little unstable. There was a blaze burning in his chest. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Now, it is time to ask Cao Wei for blood debt.

After Ding Feng's vanguard passed, successive Han army units also passed by the beating drums to pay homage to the soldiers who died that year. When Liu Feng led the Chinese army passed by, there was still lingering smoke, and the surrounding valley There seemed to be a sound of shouting and killing.

"The deeds of the ancestors need to be passed down from generation to generation. We need to erect a monument here and write the names of the soldiers who died that year, so that the names of Lei Yuan, Ding Li, Deng Tong, Chen Lan, and other Jianghuai heroes will be remembered here. Never forget."

Liu Feng stood on the top of the beating drum for a long time, and finally said to the generals of the Han army behind him.

This time, at the invitation of Soochow, Liu Feng led [-] elite soldiers to attack Hefei. an act of cowardice.

The Shu Han's national power has been strengthened, so it needs to show a different spirit, otherwise, what is Liu Feng doing in occupying Jingzhou, is it just a display?

-

Liu Feng was invited to send troops as scheduled. Sun Quan was overjoyed when he got the good news.

In fact, it is no wonder that Sun Quan is persistent.

His father, Sun Jian, was the most powerful general in the world. Back then, when the princes of the Kwantung fought for Dong, they really fought to the death with the Xiliang cavalry. Sun Jian and his brothers were the first to enter Luoyang City.

The elder brother, Sun Ce, is the little overlord of Jiangdong. He has single-handedly laid down three points of Jiangdong's foundation. The wave of generals before and after the Battle of Chibi, whether Zhou Yu or Lu Su, were all Sun Ce's close friends. Assassination, Jiangdong could not have fallen into Sun Quan's hands.

With these two mountains pressing down on him, unless Sun Quan is like Liu Chan, lying down as an incompetent king, if he wants to make a difference, he must prove himself on the battlefield.

The two armies encircled and captured Hefei in one fell swoop, and then went north along the Yingshui River, pointing directly at the capital of Cao Wei. This grand strategic concept was left by Sun Ce back then. Sun Quan just inherited the ambition of his elder brother.

"Come here, call all the troops and send out [-] elite soldiers on land and water to attack Hefei in the north." Amid the laments and expectations of the generals of the Wu army, Sun Quan issued an order, and the war machine of Wu State was immediately mobilized.

The Wu and Han armies jointly attacked Hefei.

This urgent military intelligence reached Cao Wei, and immediately made General Zhengdong and Yangzhou Governor Manchong very nervous.

After Cao Xiu's death, the post of Wei Guodu Yangzhou's various military positions was vacant. Originally, Xia Houshang and Sima Yi's qualifications could take on this important task.

But unfortunately, one of the two died of fear, and the other was blamed by the court officials for his failure in the Battle of Xiangyang. In the absence of anyone to take over, Man Chong had no choice but to use the second in command to provoke Hefei guards. heavy burden.

"Hurry up and report to Luoyang, Liu Feng is coming, and Hefei is in danger, so don't delay." Man Chong looked anxious, and Liu Feng's name made him feel particularly heavy.

A year ago, Man Chong was forced to withdraw his troops under the city of Xiangyang, and lost thousands of elite soldiers. If Shang Shu hadn't ordered Chen Jiao to see clearly and speak for Man Chong, he would have been dismissed from office now.

"Send a letter to Wang Ling, General Jianwu in Xincheng, informing him of the news of the arrival of soldiers from Shu and Wu. You must make it clear that Sun Quan is nothing but a coward. It is nothing to worry about. The real threat to Hefei is Liu Feng and Liu Yuantong."

Hefei New City is located more than [-] miles northwest of the old city.

Compared with the old city, the biggest advantage of this new city is that if the Wu army wants to attack, they have to disembark and walk thirty miles on land.

However, the fact that the Wu army's infantry combat ability is not good does not mean that the Shu army is also bad.

The soldiers under Liu Feng's command are all elite soldiers in all battles. Except that the cavalry is not as good as the Wei cavalry, in terms of infantry combat, they are much better than the Wei Guojun soldiers in Jianghuai.

Man Chong had suffered enough in Xiangyang, so he quickly told Wang Ling that he should not be complacent and think that he could wait for work with ease, and go out of the city to fight Liu Fengjun in the field.

On the local battlefield of Jianghuai, Cao Wei is now on the defensive. As long as he can hold the city, when Wei Guochaotang sends reinforcements, there is a possibility of turning the defense into an offense.

"Quickly tell the generals and schools such as Le Chen and Zhang Hu, and I will gather soldiers from all counties and counties, fortify the walls and clear the fields, and defend the city to the death, so that nothing will be lost."

"Send a letter to Zhuge Zi, the governor of Yanzhou. He will take care of the defense in the Shouchun area. I can't take care of it anymore." road attack.

Under the efficient operation of Man Chong, the Wei army in the Jianghuai area was quickly mobilized. Together with the auxiliary soldiers, nearly [-] Wei troops were stationed in Hefei Old City, Hefei New City, Lu'an, Shouchun and other cities.

Among them: Lujiang County is governed by Lu'an, which is guarded by Zhang Hu, a general of the Wei Army, led by [-] county soldiers.

Zhang Hu is the son of Marquis of Jinyang and former general Zhang Liao. His followers not only participated in the Battle of Xiaoyaojin, but some of them also participated in the Battle of Qianshan Road where Lei Xiu and Ding Feng were hunted down.

Enemy road is narrow.

When Ding Feng, Lei Xiu and Zhang Hu collided in Lu'an, it was a life-and-death battle.

The two armies of the Han and Wei fought fiercely in Lu'an. As the main force in the attack on Hefei, Sun Quan now had high morale and did not want to be misled by Liu Feng. He immediately ordered Wu general Xu Sheng to lead the army to besiege the old city of Hefei.

The location of this old city is at the entrance of Chaohu Lake, and the warships of the Wu army can reach the outside of the city. As soon as Xu Sheng's army arrived, he sent water ghosts from the water gate to dive into the water, cut off the fence, and prepared to swim into the city. Take the city in one fell swoop.

Man Chong was prepared for this, and Wei Jun set up an iron fence behind the water gate. As soon as Wu Jun's sailors showed their heads, they were shot into hedgehogs by Wei Jun's dense arrow rain. When they entered the water again, they could not break the iron fence. For a while, hundreds of elite navy troops were killed in the Urn City.

Xu Sheng witnessed the death of his subordinates, his eyes were shattered, and regardless of the obstruction of his left and right soldiers, he braved the rain and set up a ladder to attack the city wall.
