contend

Chapter 312 Dongxing
In November of the fourth year of Jiaping, the war of defeating Wu officially kicked off.

Wei Jun marched in three directions.

Wang Chang on the west road, Guanqiu Jian on the middle road, and Sima Zhao on the east road led Zhuge Dan and Hu Zun.

However, the DPRK and China were quite critical of Sima Zhao leading the army.

Fu Gu also advised General An Dong to lead General Zhendong and General Zhengdong. Because of the inconsistency in the military law, the disorganization of the top and bottom, and the suspicion of the army, and Sima Zhao lacked qualifications and had never commanded an army, he suggested that Sima Fu, the Taiwei, lead the army. soldier.

However, Master Sima's mind was obviously not on the war, and he still didn't accept it.

In December, the armies of the Three Routes advanced rapidly, and wars broke out in Nanjun, Wuchang, and Dongxing one after another.

Dongxing embankment stretches across the Ruxu water, so it is not difficult to break through.

Hu Zun took the lead and built a pontoon bridge to cross the water. Chen Bing was on the embankment and ordered Huan Jia and Han Zong to attack the east and west gates.

But both the east and the west cities guarded the essentials, guarding all the generals and leaving slightly to guard the city. Although there were only a thousand people, they shared the same hatred, and there was nothing Hu Zun could do.

At the same time, Zhuge Ke led [-] troops, with Lu Ju, Ding Feng, Liu Zan, Tang Zi and others as the vanguard, coming day and night.

Hu Zun was unable to attack for a long time, and his vigor gradually faded. It snowed heavily and his morale was low. Hearing that the Wu army rushed to help, he stationed his troops on the Dongxing embankment, waiting for work at leisure.

The sky is cold and the ground is freezing, and there is a drowsy piece between the sky and the earth.

Several soldiers carried spears and patrolled the embankment.

The other robes had already hid in the battle of the tents, but they were the only ones still doing their duty faithfully.

Those who are beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, and those who are out of place will be excluded.

"Ma Xiaoxing, you're too careful, Wu Gou can attack you in this damn weather?" Zhao Dun, the head of the village, scolded with a smile wrapped in sheep fur.

The leader of the village chief bowed his hands and saluted the village chief in the tent, "Just take precautions."

The head of the village retreated into the tent cursing, ignoring the soldiers who insisted on patrolling outside.

Shi Chang pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze from the south to the north towards Xutang.

The only pontoon bridge for Wei Jun's retreat was on Xutang.

If a Wu army arrives here without anyone noticing and destroys the pontoon bridge, all the soldiers on Dongxing Embankment will become turtles in the urn.

It's just that he can see it, but his boss can't.

"You are just a superintendent, and a certain is just a village chief, just obey orders, don't meddle in your own business." Zhao Dun taught him this more than once.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are factions.

Hu Zun, General Zhengdong, has his own confidants around him, and ordinary people can't get close to him.

It is even more impossible to pass on a very long sentence.

And Han Zong, the boss of his boss's boss, is not a good talker either.

This person is the son of Han Dang, a famous general of Eastern Wu. After Han Dang died, Han Zong inherited his trilogy and guarded Wuchang, but he was promiscuous, disorderly, and arrogant.

The Lord of Wu, Sun Quan, did not ask for his father's sake.

But the elderly Sun Quan was mean and ungrateful, and killed many people, especially Lu Xun, who greatly disappointed the people of Wu. He went to Wei, was used as a general, was granted the title of Marquis of Guangyang, and was transferred to Hu Zun's command. He invaded Wu several times and killed the people. Sun Quan hated him to the bone.

People who can see hidden dangers are certainly not unusual.

Ma Xiaoxing is Ma Long and Ma Xiaoxing.

Two years ago, Ma Long and Sui Shiyi escaped from farming in Xuchang, Sui Shiyi swallowed the earth and died, and Ma Long returned to his hometown alone.

However, under investigation by Huang Hua, the governor of Yanzhou, Ma Long's family was taken in by the Yang family in the same county.

Ma Long felt at ease, considering the situation in the world, there must be a big battle between Wei and Wu, so he went south to Huainan, wanting to make meritorious deeds to clear his charges, passing by Xuzhou, he was about to recruit Hu Zun, the general of the East, to select warriors.

Everyone in the world knows that Hu Zun is a confidant of the Sima family, and he joined his sect. He will make military exploits in the future, and it will be easier to clear his charges.

Ma Long has enough confidence in the art of war and martial arts, but he has been born in a humble background and has an upright personality.

Sure enough, after entering Hu Zun's command, he was promoted immediately by virtue of his extraordinary martial arts, and became a senior under the former governor Han Zong.

As long as it is, Malone doesn't care.

As long as there is a battle, there is an opportunity.

But the current situation is not as simple as he thought.

Hu Zun, Zhuge Dan, and Sima Zhao seem to have their own thoughts.

In this battle, Governor Sima Zhao wanted to use Zhuge Dan as the vanguard to attack the eastern and western cities, but Zhuge Dan did not make any effort and defended himself on the pontoon bridge. It was rather unpleasant.

Sima Zhao was the governor, and Zhuge Dan was also the governor.

There is a big difference in age, seniority and reputation, and it is difficult for General Anton to command General Zhendong and the governor of Yangzhou.

So Sima Zhao could only send Hu Zunshang.

Into December, the days are getting colder and colder.

Wei Jun had to drink to keep warm, but if he drank too much, he would become more and more relaxed.

While Ma Long was staring in the direction of Xu Tang, there was also a pair of sharp eyes in Xu Tang staring at Dongxing Dike.

The heavy snow fell, hiding the traces of the Wu army.

One month ago, Zhuge Ke and Zhu Yi's main force stationed at Ruxuwu, ordered Lu Ju, Ding Feng, Liu Zan, and Tang Zi to lead the army to detour to the west of Qibao Mountain, descend from the mountain road, and attack the Wei army on Dongxing Embankment from north to south.

Halfway through the journey, Ding Fengjin said: "Now all the troops are moving late. If the enemy occupies important areas, it will be difficult to compete with them!"

Lu Ju accepted it and ordered the troops to make way for Ding Feng.

Ding Fengsui led 3000 people from his headquarters to circumvent the entire Qibao Mountain, using cut wood as a sail raft, borrowing the northwest wind, from Chaohu Lake to Ruxushui, and occupied Xutang without anyone noticing in just two days.

At this time, Lu Ju and others had not yet arrived.

Ding Feng spied on Dongxing embankment and saw that Zhuge Dan was heavily guarded on the pontoon bridge and was heavily guarded, so it was not suitable to attack by force.

On the other hand, the Wei army on the embankment was scattered in formation, lax in defense, and low in morale. Many soldiers hid in tents to avoid the cold, and most of them were concentrated in the Xiguan area, with few troops in Dongguan.

Opportunity is at hand!

"It's today to receive the Marquis Award!" Ding Feng took off his armor, threw away his long soldiers, wore a short knife and a small shield, his gray beard and hair fluttered against the wind and snow, and his scars were exposed in front of the soldiers.

Most of the generals of the Wu army inherited the favor of their fathers and families. Only Ding Feng rose from the reckless and was known for his bravery when he was young. , Slashed the banner of the general, wounded barbarians everywhere, and there were many bloody battles, but because of his humble background, he was not allowed to be reused, and only one partial general was named.

It was after Zhuge Ke came to power that he promoted Ding Feng to be the champion general and granted him the title of Marquis of Tingdu.

Will be the courage of soldiers.

Ding Feng fought shortly in the snow, with such courage, the morale of the Wu army was greatly boosted. The 3000 men and horses were warriors who had followed Ding Feng for many years in the charge. They all took off their armor and held short soldiers and small shields.

3000 people rushed out of the snowstorm, and happened to be seen by Ma Long, so he shouted for warning.

At that time, Hu Zunzheng and the generals were drinking at Xiguan, and Han Zong in Dongguan was drunk and unable to command. Wei Jun saw that Wu Jun had few soldiers and was naked in the wind and snow. Everyone laughed, thinking that Wu Jun would be frozen before he climbed the embankment. Die without defense.

The Lord of Wu, Sun Quan, failed to attack Hefei repeatedly, and an army of [-] troops rushed south in a hurry.

For decades, apart from the battle of Shiting, where Zhou Bing kept making money against Cao Xiu, there were few victories.

During the period when Sima Yi was in charge of Jingzhou, Wu's heart was shattered, and Sun Quan, Zhuge Jin, Zhu Ran, and Zhuge Ke heard the news and retreated.

Wei people naturally despise Wu people.

At this time, the Wu army suddenly beat the drums and shouted. Ding Feng took the lead and rushed to the dike and dam, hacking down with knives, and the Wei army was in chaos.

"End formation! Form formation!" Malone yelled amidst the chaotic army, but no one would take it seriously for a small one.

The head of the village, Zhao Dun, mustered up his courage and led more than [-] people to rush forward, but Ding Feng cut off half of his head with a knife, and sprayed red and white things on the spot.

Wei Jun was even more frightened.
