Chapter 430 Strategies

[I went to a follow-up visit, and my fingers and wrists were inflamed. The doctor still forbids me to use the computer. For the time being, I can only write a few hundred words a day, and I will post a chapter. I will make up one by one later!Sorry everyone for now. 】——

Wan County is the prefecture of Lujiang County, and it is also the largest county in Lujiang County. The circumference of the city is more than [-] miles, the city wall is tall and strong, and the population is about [-]. The county seat became crowded.

Cheng Pu led the [-] Jiangdong army stationed in Wan County for more than half a month. He originally led the army to Qichun County to cooperate with the Jiangdong navy to cross the river to attack Jiangxia, but he did not expect that Jiangxia army would occupy Qichun County first and blockade it. crossed the river, causing the Jiangdong navy to lose Qichun County, an important strategic place.

Cheng Pu knew very well that if he marched into Qichun County under such circumstances, he would have a big problem with his logistics supplies.

Now that the situation has changed, Cheng Pu is no longer in a hurry to march into Qichun. He garrisons in Wan County, waiting patiently for the order of Marquis Wu. [

Cheng Pu stood at the top of the city and looked to the south. Lieutenant General He Qi slowly stepped forward and said, "I guess Marquis Wu wants us to go to Chaisang. Marching into Qichun is too risky for Marquis Wu to bear."

Cheng Pu nodded, "General He is right, I think the same way, Marquis Wu will not let us return to Jiangdong, the best plan is to cross the south of the Yangtze River and join forces with the water army. Combining troops is also good in Chaisang, we can attack Changsha to the south, and Wuchang directly to the north, and cooperate with the main force of Marquis Wu to fight by water."

He Qi laughed and said, "Speaking of which, the Jiang Xia army is actually more threatening in Chaisang than in Qichun County."

"Chai Sang is the gate of Jingzhou, the first strategically important place. General Xu Sheng has indeed made great contributions in capturing Chaisang for us. Taking Chaisang will at least increase our chances of winning by [-] percent."

The two were talking, when a few cavalrymen rushed towards them in the distance, and a soldier shouted, "It's our cavalry!"

Three cavalry rushed to the city, and they were indeed Jiangdong cavalry. The leading cavalry shouted: "The situation is urgent, I want to see Dudu Cheng!"

Cheng Pu immediately ordered: "Bring them up to meet me!"

After a while, three cavalrymen were brought up to the city wall, and the leading cavalryman knelt down on one knee, holding up a command arrow and a letter, "Urgent letter from Marquis Wu!"

Cheng Pu took the letter and Lingjian and looked at it. It turned out that it was Lu Meng's Lingjian, but the letter was written by Wu Hou. He quickly opened the letter and read it. Lu Meng led a boat to meet them.

Cheng Pu put his heart down and asked again: "Where is General Lu now?"

"Reporting to the governor, General Lu led the fleet to Wankou and waited for the governor's army at Wankou."

Cheng Jin and He Qi glanced at each other, they were a little strange, how to get to Wankou, it is [-] miles away from Songze Lake, He Qi asked, "Why not in Songze Lake?"

"We originally planned to go to Songze Lake, but we found Jiangxia's warships in Songze Lake, and we were all empty ships. We had no choice but to go to Wankou to fight against Jiangxia's navy."

Cheng Pu nodded, "The warships of the Jiang Xia Army should be a supply fleet. From the time, the Jiang Xia Army should have entered Lujiang County at this time, and they will replenish at Songze Lake."

Speaking of this, Cheng Pu said to the surrounding soldiers: "Take them down to rest, and each will reward ten taels of gold!"

"Thank you Dudu for the reward!"

The three messenger soldiers went down, but Cheng Pu returned to his official office without saying a word. As soon as he entered the room, He Qi followed him. He Qi was about 35 years old and a powerful general in Jiangdong. In the era of Sun Ce, he was an important general in Jiangdong.

It’s just that He Qi mainly dealt with the Shanyue people in Kuaiji County, and seldom went outside. This time, Sun Quan dispatched [-] Kuaiji garrisons to attack Qichun by land, and He Qi naturally followed the army. Although he was only a deputy general, Cheng Pu did not treat him well. With the slightest hint of contempt, the one who can really control this army is He Qi, not Cheng Pu, Cheng Pu knows this well.

"The situation is urgent, why is the governor so hesitant?" He Qi asked anxiously. [

Cheng Pu paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, but he still didn't say a word. He was very clear about Jiang Xia's army's strategy. Occupying Qichun County and preventing Jiangdong Army from using Qichun as an important logistics area was nothing but an apparent strategy. The purpose is to completely annihilate themselves and gain an advantage in the number of troops.

So Cheng Pu was extremely cautious, sitting in Wan County, he refused to move a step, and at the same time blocked the city gates, not allowing anyone outside to enter the city.

Of course, if the Jiangxia Army that came from Qichun County can be wiped out, it will add another hope of success to the Jiangdong Army's final victory, but if you want to wipe out the Jiangxia Army, you must first know yourself and the enemy. Be devoured by Jiang Xia's army.

Thinking of this, Cheng Pu sighed, "It's not that I don't want to withdraw, it's because I don't know the situation of Jiang Xia's army, so I dare not act rashly! Now we are in the open and they are in the dark. If we retreat in a hurry and are ambushed by Jiang Xia's army, I'm afraid we will lose more than we gain. .”

He Qi is also a famous Jiangdong general. Although he was eager to evacuate Wan County, Cheng Pu's caution made him think deeply. Indeed, without knowing the situation of Jiang Xia's army, it is really unwise to leave Wan County rashly, but staying in Wan County is not an option. .

"What is the general going to do?"

Cheng Pu walked a few steps with his hands behind his back and said, "I'm thinking, there must be spies from Jiang Xia's army outside the city, spying on us from time to time. If we can use our tricks to lure Jiang Xia's army into taking the bait and wipe them out in one fell swoop, this is what we have set up. great merit."

He Qi pondered for a long time and then said: "How about this, I will lead five thousand troops pretending to be the main force along the west bank of the Wanshui River, and the general will lead the main force on the east bank of the Wanshui River, and I will send a messenger every other hour. , the general can flank the enemy.”

Cheng Pu thought for a moment, and He Qi's plan could indeed be adopted, so he was asked to pretend to be the main force and go first, with the oriole behind him. Thinking of this, Cheng Pu happily said: "That's the decision, we will set off immediately after dark."

. . . . . . . . .

At night, an army left Wan County and hurried south along the west bank of Wanshui River. Each soldier held two or three torches in his hand, which looked quite spectacular. Looking from a distance, This is an army of about [-] people, with banners and flags flying, and a great momentum.

General He Qi was at the front of the team, watching the surrounding situation vigilantly. He kept sending out spies to find out what was going on ahead. Although He Qi took the initiative to lure the enemy troops as bait, the danger of being ambushed still made him very nervous.

Just one hour after He Qi led his army to leave Wan County, Cheng Pu also led [-] main forces to leave the east gate of Wan County, but they quietly walked along the east bank of Wan River as quietly as possible. There is also a fleet of about fifty small boats traveling south with the team.

Although Wanshui is the largest river in Lujiang County, it is actually not wide in the upper and middle reaches, and the widest point is less than ten feet. The surface of the Wanshui River suddenly widened to a hundred feet and turned into a big river.

It takes about 150 miles to reach Wankou from Wan County along the Wanshui River. Most of the road is interlaced with hills and plains. This area is the most important population gathering area in Lujiang County.

About sixty miles away, it was past five o'clock, and it was about to dawn. The speed of the Jiangdong army slowed down, and the wide plain area gradually ended. A few miles ahead, there was a rolling hilly area with ravines and ravines. , it is extremely easy to hide the army.

He Qi suddenly ordered: "Stop advancing!"

The Jiangdong army stopped. To the west of them was a low hill, which was no different from ordinary hills, but the wide valleys on both sides of the hill were excellent ambush places for hiding the army. They fought against the Shanyue people for many years. He Qi saw the murderous intent hidden in it at a glance.

He immediately ordered: "Scouts go to both sides to investigate!"

As soon as the words fell, the sound of drums was heard in the valleys on both sides, and the flames shot up to the sky. Two armies rushed out from the left and right sides of the valley, and rushed towards the Jiangdong Army. , has been in ambush in the valley for a long time, waiting for Jiangdong Army to appear.

Huang Zhong brandished his sword and shouted, "Kill me!"

Amidst the rumbling drums, the [-] Jiangxia ambush soldiers were divided into two groups, like a mountain torrent rushing out of a valley, sweeping across the wilderness, and killing the Jiangdong Army's head and tail. [

Generally speaking, it is extremely dangerous for the army to encounter an ambush during the march, and it is not entirely because the army is caught off guard. In many cases, the spies have already discovered an ambush, but the marching team still has no time to adjust.

The key is that the marching team is long, ranging from three or four miles to more than ten miles. It takes at least half an hour to form a combat formation, but the ambush army will never give them time to form a team. How much combat power.

Jiang Xia's night attack immediately caused Jiangdong's army to panic, and He Qi shouted anxiously: "Hurry up and shoot the rocket!"

The soldiers around him immediately shot more than a dozen rockets into the night sky to notify the main force of the Jiangdong Army on the east bank. At this time, the Jiangxia Army was like two sharp knives, splitting the long team of the Jiangdong Army into more than a dozen sections in an instant. , especially at night, when it was difficult to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and the situation was extremely chaotic, He Qi shouted orders to the left and right, "Assemble our troops to fight!"

More than [-] people around him are elite troops who have been fighting with the Shanyue people all year round. They are extremely powerful. They quickly formed a spear formation and launched a counterattack against the sneak attacking Jiangxia army. The two sides launched a fierce battle on the west bank of the Wanshui River.
