Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 639 Huainan, the all-out Northern Expedition begins——

In Huainan, a battle of Jiangdong soldiers' all-out northward attack has begun.

Cao Wei's Huainan soldiers were proud.

Because they had experienced the "eight hundred to one hundred thousand" Xiaoyaojin battle led by General Zhang Wenyuan that was destined to be remembered for thousands of years——

It is precisely based on this that even when news of the fall of Luoyang came, even in the face of the menacing Jiangdong soldiers, many cities and counties still chose to open the city to attack the enemy.

It seems that, in their view, these Jiangdong soldiers who do not know whether to live or die are destined to be vulnerable.

They are waiting for work, so they cannot be weak in momentum!

then…

Overnight, "dong dong dong" the deafening sound of drums sounded throughout Huainan and countless cities and counties.

On the other hand, the Jiangdong Erlangs who were heading north... began to faintly hear the sound of gongs "ding, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang" in their troops.

Immediately afterwards, the attacking party seemed to have blown up the camp, more like celebrating the New Year.

"My army has arrived, how dare Xiao Shucheng go out to fight in the field? Haha... It just so happens that since we returned to the Han army, we are missing a solid meritorious service!"

He Qi pointed at the Shucheng Wei army roaring out in front.

Jiang Qin raised his brows and was amused, "I thought that in the face of our surprise attack, Shu City would be fortified and clear of the wilderness. In this way, this city... it would be difficult for us to capture it, so... Zijing gives you, my task is just Cutting off the connection between Shucheng and Hefei, it's fine now... It turns out that it was Zijing who was negligent. The guard of Shucheng was Xu Yi, the son of the tiger idiot Xu Chu. After hearing the bad news of his father's death, it seemed that he had lost his mind. , it’s just right, no need to cut it off, you and I can attack it together!”

When he said this, Jiang Qin said loudly, "Come here, take my general's mirror armor and helmet, as well as the compound bow sent from Mianshui Villa... I am just trying to test the power of this bow!"

He Qi also said, "I heard that it was General Guan who beheaded Xu Chu. Today... you and I will simply behead Xu Yi. This can be regarded as a help to them and allows the father and son to reunite under Jiuquan!"

He Qi and Jiang Qin said so.

The soldiers behind them were cheering, jumping three feet high in excitement, as if... seeing the enemy troops leaving the city, they were actually more excited than the general.

In fact...

No wonder they are like this. Huainan is a place where salt mines are buried. There are abundant "limestones", "dolomites", "phosphate rocks", "potassium-containing rocks"...

Once these things are excavated, I will undoubtedly mean huge wealth!
But now the major clans and generals in Soochow have formed an alliance...

In order to capture Huainan and share these resources, they promised "heavy profits" to their subordinate soldiers.

The head of a Wei soldier is one tael of gold, three pieces of cloth, and half an acre of land.

However... in order to prevent someone from grabbing heads, the method adopted is to count all the heads together, and then divide them according to different ranks and proportions according to the vanguard army, the middle army, and the rear army.

and so…

There were four thousand Wei defenders in Lujiang, but there were four thousand people here. What was special was four thousand taels of gold, twelve thousand pieces of cloth, and two thousand acres of land.

The most important thing is that these are only the rewards set by the Soochow clan, and do not include... Guan Lin's rewards, Guan Yu's rewards, and Liu Bei's rewards.

After all, this is a windfall!

Since then, the main mission of the major clans in Jiangdong has become "looking for mineral veins", and huge rewards have been set.

The soldiers throughout Jiangdong felt miserable.

Who doesn't cry?

The reward is clearly stated on the notice, but... if there is no war, no matter how many rewards are promised, it will be of no use!

How boring!

Therefore, everyone is holding back a lot of energy in their hearts. Now they can finally give it a try. The key is that they still dare to come out?

Damn, these four thousand people... if one of them escapes, they will not be able to afford the wealth and rewards that are overwhelming.

Seeing the eagerness of the soldiers behind him, Jiang Qin was startled, but he still maintained the majesty of a general. He shouted loudly, "Calm down, don't panic, the bows and arrows are in front, the crossbows are in the middle, and the infantry is behind. Wait for them to enter the shooting range, kill them first, and then charge. If anyone dares to move forward rashly, military law will be ruthless!"

Jiang Qin was still yelling.

He Qi had already noticed that the Wei army had entered the shooting range. Most of the people coming out this time were cavalry. It seemed that... they wanted to wait for work and take advantage of the Jiangdong soldiers' unsteady footing... to use the cavalry to attack and seize the lead.

Unfortunately…

Ugh…

He Qi couldn't help but feel sorry for Wei Jun, and also for Xu Chu's son Xu Yi...

In fact, anger...is useless!
Anger will only make you lose your mind and cause heavy losses!

With this in mind, He Qi took a deep breath, and then he roared with dignity, "Pull the string full, archer, shoot--"

Whoosh whoosh—

The sound of breaking through the sky resounded, and the "composite bow" sent from Mianshui Villa... was destined to happen on this night:
——Will be generous and brilliant!

...

...

Lu'an County is a city and county located west of Hefei and south of Shouchun. It can be penetrated by waterways and goes up to Xuzhou.

This night... is also undergoing an extremely dangerous surprise attack.

It's a dark, windy, murderous night——

It was still this night... Zhou Xun and Zhou Jun's Zhou family fleet directly attacked Cao Wei's navy outside Hefei, and started a battle at "Shi Shui".

Just as Hefei was making all-out efforts to block these Jiangdong naval forces coming from Chaohu and Ruxu.

Another group of soldiers came up from the Lujiang River, bypassed Shucheng and attacked Lu'an west of Hefei!

The guard general of Lu'an is also very famous. He is the son of Dian Wei, the evil man from the past - Dian Man!
Facing the sudden surprise attack by Jiangdong Army... Norimitsu also did not choose to defend like his father, but went straight to the steel.

"Today, one hundred and fifty people died under my halberds——"

There was murderous intent in his eyes.

The soldiers around him looked at Noriman with admiration... but no one had any doubts about his words.

After all, he had a father who was evil from ancient times, and he was living in Huainan, where eight hundred warriors once created unprecedented achievements, so his confidence... was still there.

On the other hand, on the other side... Sun Shao and Tai Shixiang were silently watching the battlefield.

I also saw the city gate of Lu'an County opened, and Dianman led a group of Wei troops to charge out.

"I heard that the enemy general is the son of the ancient evil Lai Dian Wei, named Dian Man... Haha, he is the son of a famous general who is so brave that no man can deserve it!"

Sun Shao sighed.

Tai Shixiang snorted coldly, then raised his halberd and said calmly, "As if your father is not unworthy of all men's courage?"

Yes…

You are the son of the ancient evil Lai Dian Wei, and here are two...their fathers are Sun Bofu, the little overlord, and Taishi Ci, the God of War of Soochow and the best marksman in Jiangdong!

"Don't get excited..." Sun Shao advised Tai Shixiang, "Let Dianman go deeper...he is about to enter the encirclement!"

Listening to Sun Shao's words, Tai Shixiang narrowed his eyes and showed a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

"Just like his father, he is just a common man, not worth mentioning..."

soon…

The soldiers of the Wei army entered the encirclement, and all the Jiangdong disciples with almost equal strength also came out.

Precisely because the strength of the troops is the same...the effect of encirclement is not obvious, it can be said that they meet on a narrow road.

Can…

Just like He Qi and Jiang Qin's soldiers and horses over there, the Jiangdong disciples here are also "screaming" one by one, as if all the muscles in their bodies are jumping, and there is an inexplicable "buzzing" sound in their heads. ...There is a feeling that I am about to make a fortune.

gold;
earth;

Cloth——

These real things make every Jiangdong kid excited.

Dianman was also very excited. Although he had a father with a reputation for evil in ancient times, his performance in Cao Wei in recent years was mediocre. What he lacked was meritorious service!

If he can defeat these Jiangdong rats under the premise of Luoyang's defeat, then there is no doubt that... he will be reused by the King of Wei, and will no longer be just a guard assigned to the local area.

Huh...huh...

The sound of heavy exhalation came out, and Noriman also gasped for breath.

at this time…

"kill--"

Along with a sound from the surrounding trees, Jiangdong Army began to attack, and the war was about to break out.

Because this battlefield is in the woods, the role of crossbowmen is not great. Soldiers versus soldiers and generals. This is a comparison of the hard power of the two sides.

"Today is the day to make great achievements..."

Sun Shao gave the order, and Taishi Xiang took the lead...

The Jiangdong disciples completely ignored the four words "contributing to success".

In fact, at this time, this kind of pie is far less substantial than the "reward" corresponding to each head.

——"Gold, land, cloth..."

As I thought about it, the hand holding the spear became stronger.

Thinking of these tangible rewards, for a moment, the fear and panic of these Jiangdong boys towards this land in Huainan disappeared, replaced by pairs of green lights.

Just like - the tiger is out of the cage!
...

...

Hefei is already east of Feidong County.

Lu Dai, Sun Jiao, and Su Fei commanded the siege here... In addition to them, the armies of the four major families of Kuaiji, Yu, Wei, Kong, and Xie, also arrived together.

——Three around and one missing...

It is still the cliché siege strategy. Lu Dai, Sun Jiao, and Su Fei attack the main gate, the Yu and Wei families attack the west gate, and the Kong and Xie families attack the east gate.

The Grand Governor Lu Su was also here, personally taking command. As night fell, the afterglow on the horizon was obscured by thick smoke, and the entire city was shrouded in a chilling atmosphere.

The siege has lasted for half a day, and the defenders on the city wall are exhausted, but they still stick to their positions and defend the safety of the city with their lives.

only…

Outside the city, Jiangdong Army's offensive became increasingly fierce.

The sound of war drums, shouts, and the "whoosh" of arrows are intertwined to form a breathtaking piece of music.

Siege vehicles, ladders, catapults, Lu Gong's chariots, and the Thunderbolt Eight Oxen Crossbow...

A series of siege equipment...are continuously thrown into the battlefield, constantly approaching the city wall.

"Dong, dong, dong——"

The drums sound like thunder!

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The collision of the car and the wood... Every impact at the city gate made the defenders on the city wall feel palpitations.

The guard here is a cautious general. When faced with the enemy's surprise attack, he did not choose to take advantage of the enemy's unstable footing. He took the initiative and attacked many people first...

He took a conservative stance.

However, even if the defenders resisted vigorously, waving weapons and throwing rolling logs and stones, they tried to stop Jiangdong's attack.

However, the number of enemy troops was too great. They came like a tide, one after another, seemingly endless.

The battle has also entered an increasingly fierce stage...

Outside the city, where the Chinese army is.

"The Governor..."

A messenger reported to Lu Su, "After nearly a day of rapid attack, none of the three city gates were breached. Our army's losses... are also... heavy!"

Yes…

Even with the brand new "siege equipment" provided by Mianshui Villa, siege warfare has never been easy to fight since ancient times!
Lu Dai couldn't help frowning when he heard the battle report, "Grand Governor, should we continue the fight slowly and let the soldiers withdraw and rest for a day..."

"No!" Lu Su squinted his eyes and stared at the crumbling Feidong City under countless torches. He said decisively: "It is very difficult for us to attack the city, and it is extremely difficult for the enemy to defend the city. You gave the order to the east and west gates. The heads of the four major families said...whose tribe will conquer the city first...I, Lu Zijing, will report it to Mr. Yunqi truthfully. Their family's share of the salt mines and rare stones in this corner of Huainan can be doubled!"

"promise--"

Following Lu Su's instructions, the ordering soldiers...immediately rode away.

Lu Su continued to give instructions: "General Lu Fan, you take over from General Su Fei and General Sun Jiao... The pressure on this main city gate must continue until the city is broken!"

"Yes..." Lu Dai handed over his hand and was about to order troops to go to the front line. Suddenly something occurred to him and he quickly turned around, "Grand Governor, what if my soldiers attack the city first? Then... the salt mines and strange stones in this corner of Huainan, my family also Have more!”

Facing Lu Dai's words, the expression on Lu Su's cheek did not change at all. He just waved his hand and said, "This is easy to say. I can agree to it for Mr. Yun Qi!"

"okay--"

Now, Lu Dai couldn't be more energetic.

Yes, in this day and age... Bubu are all clearly priced. As long as you have money, food, and resources, you can buy as much of this strong Bubu as you want.

But... Huainan's salt mines, limestone, dolomite, phosphate rock... these things are priceless, it is a cornucopia!
Today... in order to achieve the goal, no matter how many people die, we still have to win——

Take it, take it—

Not long after Lu Fan left.

"Report..."

Another messenger came with the news, "Grand Governor, the two gates of the East and West...all the major clans are attacking with almost all their strength, no reservations..."

"Where is the main entrance?" Lu Su asked quickly.

"General Lu Dai personally called him Lu Gongche and led the troops to attack the city...The morale of the army has been infected, and the enemy will be unable to resist it!"

With these last words came...

call--

Lu Su couldn't help but gasp with relief. He narrowed his eyes and still looked at the main battlefield, but he was murmuring in his heart.

"Yun Qi, you don't understand the art of war and strategy, but you understand people's hearts, and you understand people's greed even more!" 』

actually…

It's not just people's greed. Guan Lin also understands that people... are often accompanied by unwillingness for a long period of time!

...

...

In Hefei City, in the government office, a huge map was unfolded.

Zhang Liao, Xue Ti... and a group of civil and military officials from Wei and Huainan gathered here. Everyone's expressions were extremely solemn, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the "firefight" places marked on the map.

OMG…

Who would have thought that the Jiangdong Army and Jiangdong warships that had been dormant across the Yangtze River for several months would suddenly launch a surprise attack on the entire Huainan overnight.

Whether it is Lu'an, Deyang, and Shucheng north of Lujiang River, or Feidong, Dongcheng, and Quanjiao east of Hefei... more than seven counties and more than 30 counties were in emergency overnight.

Even Chaohu Lake leads to Hefei Water Supply Channel.

The warships are densely packed, and the Jiangdong navy is launching a general attack on the Wei navy... The battle is fierce and the situation is corrupt.

"Report to... General Zhang, traces of enemy troops have been found near Lu'an..."

"Report, General Zhang, Quanjiao City has fallen..."

"Report, General Zhang. Feidong City is requesting reinforcements. They say they have discovered the enemy's main force. Without support, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for long..."

"Report...General Zhang..."

Military reports sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, overwhelming Zhang Liao, and the lieutenants, including Xue Ti of the Central Guard Army, also looked solemn.

Speaking of which, the Wei troops deployed in Huainan were only 60,000 to 70,000 people, but according to the existing intelligence, Jiangdong might have deployed more than 100,000 troops!
One hundred thousand?

Since the battle against Sun Quan at Xiaoyaojin, Jiangdong has never assembled 100,000 troops.

Simply, those wealthy families in Jiangdong will not cooperate! This is also the reason why Cao Wei has always been confident in occupying Huainan...

But it’s different now!

Who knows, how could Jiangdong gather so many people in such a short period of time after the fall of Soochow, and get so many wealthy families to work together and obey Guan Lin's orders in such a short period of time...

How could those rats in Jiangdong suddenly have the courage to embark on this journey to Huainan again?

Aren't they afraid anymore?
Xiaoyaojin’s nightmare? Have they passed?
he? What kind of magic did Guan Lin use? Solved all Jiangdong's problems?

A series of questions came from Zhang Liao's mind...

He had no way of finding the answer, he could only sigh:
——"Monster... so monstrous!" 』

Huh...huh...

As these urgent reports were delivered, Zhang Liao was still panting.

Breath after breath... kept coming out.

But he is the leader here, and he must show that he will not change his expression even if the mountain collapses in front of him...

He took a deep breath, calmed down, and then asked: "Where are our reinforcements? Long before Jiangdong sent troops, didn't this general send an urgent message to Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Nanyang, and Yanzhou to send reinforcements? Support? It has been two days since Jiangdong launched the attack, but where are our reinforcements? "

"The reinforcements... I'm afraid they won't come." Xue Ti gritted his teeth and looked extremely ugly. He explained helplessly: "Luoyang has been lost. Guan Yu and the Jingzhou Army have already been stationed in Luoyang. The next step... he is afraid... To take Hulao Pass, we have to attack Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou... At this time, all the generals of the Wei Dynasty in these three states are in danger, who will come to help? General Wenyuan... General Wenyuan, in Huainan now, We...we can only rely on ourselves!"

This…

This…

Although Xue Ti's words don't sound good, there is no doubt that this is the truth.

Zhang Liao must also accept the fact that in the land of Huainan... they can only rely on themselves.

"That…"

Zhang Liao opened his mouth to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, all the words... were swallowed back into his stomach.

What can I say?

The only option is to fight to the death!

"General Wenyuan..." Xue Ti opened his mouth again, "For the current situation, the general must prepare in advance. If... I mean, if Huainan cannot be defended, the general must prepare a retreat in advance and try his best to We must keep more troops! No more unnecessary sacrifices!"

call…

Accompanied by a rough voice, Xue Ti's words... were like a big mountain, pressing hard on Zhang Liao's body, which made him breathless.

Can…

Even if you follow Xue Ti's words, retreat? Where can they retreat to?
If Hefei falls, can Shouchun be saved? The whole Huainan was lost? Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou... will be completely exposed to the Jiangbei Expedition.

Then...then the entire Wei Dynasty started from here, from this weakest link, a huge hole was poked out!
When the time comes... when the time comes, the storm will surely fall and the building will collapse!
Huh...huh...

Thinking of this, Zhang Liao breathed harder and his thoughts became more complicated.

He couldn't think deeply about it...

If you really think about it, Wei... it's over!

Finally, after a brief pause, Zhang Liao held his head high, his eyes firm, and his tone decisive, "Before the king's edict is issued, Huainan cannot be lost..."

"These Jiangdong rats want to occupy the land of Huainan, unless they step over my body, Zhang Liao-"

Absolutely…

Zhang Liao's last words were like his last words of farewell, resolute, courageous and fearless!
