Chapter 700 Competing ([-])

Yang Zhao's progress in Xiling was unfavorable, and he was blocked by Changwei.

Of course, Xu Yin's navy was no match for Jiangdong's navy.

The situation suddenly fell into a stalemate.

All kinds of disadvantages made Yang Hu a little pessimistic about this strategy.

However, God's will still favored the Jin army at this time.

Relying on the long siege, Lu Kang used his weak force to block the infantry association from the inside and Yang Zhao from the outside.

But confrontation is often also a time of bitter struggle.

Wu generals Zhu Qiao and Yu Zan were discouraged by the future of Soochow, and surrendered to the Jin army with hundreds of troops.

Yang Zhao was overjoyed, both of them were veteran generals under Lu Kang's command, and they knew Wu Jun's falsehoods well.

Yanghu was passed on the letter, and Yanghu was overjoyed.

Thinking that this is a good opportunity to defeat the enemy, he personally led heavy troops to join forces with Yang Zhao, intending to capture Changwei in one fell swoop.

The surrender of Zhu Qiao and Yu Zan had a great blow to the morale of the Wu army.

The autumn rain continued, and the whole country of Wu was shaken by the wind and rain.

Lu Kang was patrolling the surrounding troops in the cold rain, all the followers around him were discouraged, and the soldiers were also as if they were mourning, but Lu Kang did not show any discouragement on his face, he was as gentle and calm as usual.

"The current situation is unfavorable, it is better to evacuate Le Township and defend the south of the Yangtze River." Zuo Yi suggested.

Although the Wu army built a long siege, their strength was not enough to defend them all. It has always been false and real, mixed with barbarians.

Now, the morale of the Yi soldiers is even lower, and many people are whispering.

"A lot of people have escaped in the past few days." Wu Yan was a little more depressed than before.

The Jin army plus the Bu brothers in Xiling City had nearly four times the strength of the Wu army.

A single Yang Zhao made it difficult for the Wu army to defend. If Yanghu's [-] troops from the Jiangling city rushed forward and joined forces with the rear to attack from both inside and outside, how would Changwei defend?
Moreover, Wu Jun has to defend the entire Yangtze River defense line.

Lu Kang glanced at the barbarian soldiers, and the barbarians' eyes were evasive.

Suddenly, Lu Kang let out a long laugh, "This is a god-sent opportunity!"

All the generals were at a loss.

"Qiao, old officials in Zan's army, those who know my inadequacy, I always worry that the barbarian soldiers are not simple, if the enemy attacks, they must come here first!" Lu Kang pointed to a section of the siege defended by the barbarian soldiers.

This is also where the line of defense is weakest.

Wu Yan instantly understood what Lu Kang meant, "Is the governor going to set up an ambush here?"

"That's right! The Jin army is not in harmony, so we must fight quickly. Zuo Yi, Wu Yan, and Cai Gong listened to the order, and each recruited a thousand elites to replace the barbarian soldiers. The survival of the country is in this battle!"

"Leader!"

The autumn rain was getting heavier, but Wu Jun was cheered up by Lu Kang, and he stood up.

The next day, Yang Hu really led his troops to come, together with [-] troops, they launched a fierce attack.

Yang Hu also attacked east and west, attacking other sieges first.

Secretly ordered Yang Zhao to invite [-] elites to wait for the opportunity.

But all of Yanghu's strategies and actions were expected by Lu Kang. No matter how fiercely Yanghu attacked, he would not adjust the three elites of Zuoyi, Wuyan, and Cai Gong.

At the most dangerous moment, Bu Chan led the army to fight out, attacking both inside and outside, while Lu Kang raised his sword and led the bodyguards in a bloody battle.

The battle lasted from noon to dusk.

Both sides were exhausted, and the corpses piled up under the long fence.

Many generals were full of doubts about Lu Kang's arrangement.

But Lu Kang did not change his mind.

Sure enough, at dusk, the Jin army's drums and horns were loud.

Yang Zhao led [-] elite troops, together with Zhu Qiao and Yu Zan, rushed out and headed straight for the place where Zuo Yi, Wu Yan and Cai Gong set up an ambush.

The autumn rain was rustling, and Yang Hu stood in the wind and rain like the soldiers.

The fate of the Central Plains actually lies in this battle.

Defeating Lu Kang and taking Xiling blocked the Qin army's way out to the east.

Then, with the power of the country, it cannibalized Soochow.

Make up for the Central Plains with Soochow, and then win the East and West with the Qin army.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the days when he was in Guzang.

Although I felt a little sorry, but for the sake of the family, I could only do my duty for the Sima family.

Looking around, Yang Zhao's attack was extremely smooth.

The elite of the Jin army had already climbed the fort, and it seemed that the Wu army was really tired.

After all, they only have more than 2 horses, and it is unexpected that they can resist until now.

It's just that it's too quiet on the fence.

Yang Hu's heart was shocked, "No, it's an ambush!"

Almost at the same time, it was as if a thunderbolt exploded continuously around the enclosure.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Countless swords and spears stabbed out suddenly, and countless crossbow arrows hit like a torrential rain, setting off waves of blood, and the thousand Jin troops who were the first to climb the city wall fell in a pool of blood in an instant.

Surrounded by roars like thunder, war drums shook the sky.

The three armies of Zuo Yi, Wu Yan, and Cai Gong rushed out, and they were extremely vigorous. Some people jumped into the enemy group directly from the height of a person with a ring head knife, hacked several people to death, and then were hacked by the Jin army. die.

Although the Wu army has few soldiers, everyone is fighting for their lives.

Yang Zhao had a large number of soldiers, and he thought he would be able to do it easily, but he was hit head-on.

Lu Kang also led his elite troops to attack from the west.

The Jin army was defeated like a mountain.

Fearing the situation of Wu army, Yang Zhao led his troops back.

The generals of the Wu army wanted to pursue them, but Lu Kang worried that the Bu brothers would lead the army out, so he beat drums and waved banners, causing the soldiers to shout loudly.

The Bu brothers did not dare to attack.

And Yang Zhao was even more terrified, throwing away his helmet and armor, and moved Yang Hu's rear army.

Lu Kang pursued him with light troops again, the Jin army was defeated, and Yang Hu was also held hostage by the defeated army.

Above the Yangtze River, sailing for thousands of miles, sailing masts like clouds, compared to the scales, Ding Feng's navy rushed to the waters of Jingzhou first with Sima Ni's infantry.

The advantage of the Jin army is gone, and Soochow has the advantage.

The governor of Yanghu couldn't do anything, and it was difficult to transfer the army food and morale was low, so he ordered the army to return to Xiangyang.

Lu Kang led his troops to besiege Xiling, and the Bu brothers became turtles in an urn.

In December, Lu Kang's warlords broke through Xiling.

The Bu family was old and weak, and all of them were slaughtered. The old officials and generals were all barbarians, and thousands of corpses floated on the river.

Except for Bu Ji and Bu Sui who were sent to Luoyang as hostages, everyone else was driven to death.

Afterwards, Lu Kang asked for the amnesty of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city.

So far, all the power in Jingzhou of Eastern Wu has fallen into Lu Kang's hands, and the number of people under his command has increased greatly.

The Jin-Wu war started hastily and ended hastily.

In Yongan City.

Battle reports from Jingzhou came one after another.

Luo Xian complained: "If this battle breaks out in a year's time, our army will surely take the opportunity to advance eastward! Linghu Zijun relies on His Majesty's old ways... to go his own way."

The strategy was right, but the timing was wrong.

Ding Fengshui's arrival in Jingzhou meant that the war was over.

Even if Sima Ni's [-]-step cavalry arrived, he could only look at the river and sigh.

Similarly, Qin Jun could not take advantage of Ding Fengshui's army.

What's more, the talent shown by Lu Kang in this battle shocked the world.

The [-] Wu army defeated the [-] Jin army, and broke through the Xiling where [-] troops were stationed. Every move of the Jin army was expected by Lu Kang.

A bright star across the night sky of the Three Kingdoms.

Du Yu was not surprised by this result, "This battle is not meaningless."

"Oh?" Luo Xian was surprised.

"Soochow is by no means settled in one war, and Yang Hu's lesson must be taken as a warning."

If you rush into battle, you can only flee.

Luo Xian nodded and said yes, "Although Sun Hao is tyrannical, the country is not deserted."

Du Yu said: "The governor of Linghu returned to Chang'an, and a certain person also returned to Chengdu to organize soldiers, train the navy, save food and grass, and build warships. Although this battle can be avoided, after a few years, there will be civil strife in Soochow, and there will always be opportunities. of."
