Han Xiang

Chapter 559: Death, Memory, and Killing Again

Lü Meng was heavily fortified at night, but he didn't wait until Long Xiang came to rob the camp.

By dawn the next day, none of the battalions had received orders to prepare meals in advance and then assemble for the attack.

Sun Quan thought of all the benefits and completely forgot about the tragic defeat in Hefei.

I slept surprisingly well in the camp last night. I thought I could defeat the enemy in Liyang.

When I woke up from a lazy sleep, the generals in the tent had been waiting for a long time.

Everyone was excited to volunteer to fight, and Han Dang, who had lost his son, was particularly active.

Sun Quan couldn't bear to dampen the enthusiasm of the generals, and wanted to announce to Long Xiang that he was coming, so he ordered Lü Meng to organize an attack to test the capabilities of the defenders.

After receiving the order, the generals from Jiangdong immediately went out of the tent, while Sun Quan had to stay in the tent to have breakfast.

He actually wanted to go to the city to humiliate Long Xiang, but he was worried that Long Xiang would use his family members to threaten him. When the time came, the soldiers in each camp were timid, so they fortunately stayed in the camp for peace and quiet.

Considering that Long Xiang would threaten him with hostages, Sun Quan had made a private agreement with Lu Meng last night that no matter whose family members Long Xiang threatened, he would ignore them and continue the attack, and said that his own family members were no exception.

Han Dang was able to kill his son, but Sun Quan was willing to sacrifice his wife.

The attack on the first day was just a test, so Lu Meng asked two veterans, Han Dang and Huang Gai, to take the lead. They took turns attacking the west gate of Liyang, and they fought without declaring the battle, directly abandoning the propaganda phase.

Jiangdong Army's intentions were clearly seen by Lu Su, and he calmly arranged the defense of the defenders.

Zhu Huan, who was watching the battle next to Lu Su, also used the magical telescope at this time.

Sun Quan's camp was clearly visible, and even someone was urinating next to the tent. He thought in his heart that this kind of suppression of vision was too fatal. He finally understood why he was defeated in Hefei and why Long Xiang was so confident.

When an ordinary army faces the Hefei army, isn't that the same as a blind man fishing for fish?
Han Dang has attacked Liyang three times and is an old face in front of Lu Su. He has experienced the power of Xu Chu Feishi, so he often directs from the rear during sieges, but today he was uncharacteristically desperate.

Lu Su was very surprised and thought to himself that he was so forward today. Did he guess that the Tiger Guards were not there?

At this moment, Zhu Huan asked: "Han Zong has neither returned nor attacked the city with his father. Could it be that he is imprisoned in the camp? This man knows a lot of military secrets. It will definitely be bad for him to stay with Sun Quan."

Lu Su replied calmly: "Yun Qi has deep intentions in using him. I heard that General Zhu hates this person. Wouldn't it be a good idea if he doesn't come back? With Sun Quan's suspicious character, I'm afraid Han Zong will not end well. Zhu Junli has a close relationship with the Sun family. Judging from Han Dang's positive performance today, it is very likely that he wants to forgive his sins on his behalf."

"It would be better to kill the despicable son with your own hands than to forgive him personally. As Mr. Zhu just said, with the relationship between Zhu Junli and the Sun family, Han Dang would not be able to exchange his life for it."

Lu Su shook his head slightly and said nothing, thinking that even if Han Dang killed his son to show his loyalty, Sun Quan would not be able to let go easily, let alone the poison of a tiger that does not eat its children.

Having a son like this in the stall is destined to bring disaster to the whole family.

Han Dang started the game without caring about his own safety, which made Lu Meng, who was watching from behind, frown.

The siege lasted for more than an hour, and Lu Meng asked Huang Gai to replace Han Dang. Huang Gai only attacked until noon, when he heard the sound of gold from the rear and retreated his troops.

Seeing that the time had come, Lu Su immediately sent people to the corner of the city wall and waved the red flag into the city to issue orders.

The soldiers and horses on standby at the north and south gates of Liyang saw the red flag waving and immediately opened their doors to attack. Huang Gai and Han Dang's troops were retreating at that time.

Lü Meng was shocked when he saw this. He did not expect that Long Xiang would dare to attack at this time due to his inferior strength, so he ordered the two armies to retreat and stop, and the rear team changed to the front team and turned to face the enemy.

At the same time, Lü Meng sent people back to the camp to report to Sun Quan while beating the war drums to warn him, and summoned the troops who had not participated in the war to assemble for the battle.

However, it takes time for each order to be issued and implemented.

The soldiers of Han Dang and Huang Gai were exhausted and could not stop the fierce Hefei soldiers.

In particular, Xu Chu's Tiger Guards on the right pierced the enemy's formation like a sharp sword and cut the enemy's formation in half. Without any delay, they headed straight for Sun Quan's camp.

The Tiger Guard's mission today is to attack the enemy. As for cleaning up the Jiangdong fish along the way, Lei Xu's army will take care of it.Lei Xu's troops were not as powerful as the Tiger Guards, but Long Xiang personally came to the front line to lead the troops in the fight, which raised the morale of the troops to the highest level.

The Hefei athletes were so powerful that Jiangdong soldiers couldn't stop them. They suddenly started running for their lives, and those who couldn't escape surrendered directly.

Long Xiang's family letter plan worked. The reason why Jiang Dongbing didn't respond was because the time hadn't come yet.

There was a huge disparity in military strength between the two sides, and Long Xiang was fighting away from home, so Sun Quan had a high chance of winning.

Even if the soldiers were influenced by family letters, they had their own judgment at that time.

That is to say, if Sun Quan is not defeated in the war, he will not move, otherwise he will be captured and killed as a deserter. If Sun Quan's side is at a disadvantage, these people will run away decisively.

At this time, the two armies are in chaos and no one will care about the deserters. It is safest to escape at this time.

Of course, if their lives are in danger, some people will surrender on the spot and survive. After all, this is what the family letters advise.

Human personalities are all kinds of strange, but their choices in times of danger are surprisingly consistent. It is precisely because of this chaos within Sun Quan that the generals at all levels were disconnected from the grassroots, and the Chinese military command collapsed again.

Sun Quan's camp was only two miles away from Liyang, and Long Xiang and Lei Xu reached the camp gate in an instant.

Xu Chu led the Tiger Guards to rush into the camp, slashing with the Fire Cloud Sword and killing everyone.

Not long after, the large raft in the rear of the Chinese army fell.

Tens of thousands of Jiangdong soldiers were shocked.

This scene seems familiar.

The dead memory came back to my mind in an instant.

Zhang Liao was too brave last year, why is he still like this this year?What went wrong?
No one can answer.

Sun Quan had already been escorted by Zhou Tai and Xu Sheng to evacuate westward before the Tiger Guards entered the camp.

Lu Meng, Jiang Qin and other generals originally wanted to organize their troops to cut off the rear, but the collapse was like the Yellow River bursting its banks and flooding. The most important thing was that they also had countless deserters under their command, and they could not stop them even if they wanted to.

A disaster is imminent and it is important to save one's life.

The siege equipment prepared by Han Dang, as well as the baggage and provisions brought from the warships, were all left in the camp and could not be taken away.

But Long Xiang was not satisfied with capturing prisoners, collecting baggage and food. He left two battalions of soldiers to clean up the mess, and then continued the pursuit with Xu Chu.

The situation in front of me is very similar to that in Hefei, but there are differences.

The battle of Hefei was to make Zhang Liao famous. At that time, Long Xiang mainly focused on repelling the enemy. At this time, in the battle of Lishui, Long Xiang wanted to eliminate Sun Quan's effective forces to stabilize the situation and people's hearts in Wu County, so the overall pursuit was even more crazy. .

Starting from the counterattack at noon, the pursuit continued until dark in the evening. Some soldiers were too tired to run.

Long Xiang ordered the tired soldiers to rest on the spot, and then asked the able soldiers to continue the pursuit in units of Qubu until the entire army was exhausted.

In such a chaotic situation, Long Xiang did not believe that Sun Quan had an ambush.

Sun Quan would not use such a high price to lure the enemy deeper.

Chasing like mad dogs until the early morning of the next day, Long Xiang and Xu Chu went to the junction of Lengshui and Lishui to rest. There were only more than 2000 people left around them, and the rest stayed to rest on the spot halfway.

The reason why Long Xiang did not continue to chase was that the sentry saw Sun Quan boarding the ship through the telescope, and there was no point in running anymore.
