The last three kingdoms

Chapter 240 The Battle of Fu City ([-])

The beachhead position has always been the most difficult to defend. The low-lying terrain, the dilemma of lining up against the water, and the difficulty of having no danger to prove, undoubtedly put Hu Lie, who crossed the river earlier, in danger.

What's more, the Wu army is condescending, and its attack has an unstoppable momentum. At this moment, Hu Lie only has about [-] troops crossing the Fushui. Facing the Wu army several times his own, he was terrified, and hurriedly ordered the Wei army to shrink its forces and form an army. In the defensive formation, the sword and shield soldiers are on the outermost side, the pike soldiers are closely behind, and the archers are at the end, forming a formation to resist the fierce offensive of the Wu army.

Wu Jun's three troops were like three sharp knives, directly piercing into the slightly flustered battle formation that Wei Jun had just assembled. .

Liuping is a rare warrior in Eastern Wu. He held a big sword in his hand. The sword was heavy and fierce. Several Wei soldiers with long spears and shields tried to stop him. Severed, people died, several gun shield soldiers were immediately dead on the spot, and their shields and shields were split into two pieces.

The troops on the left led by Liuping broke through the Wei army's defense line first, rushed into the Wei army's battle formation, and started killing wantonly.Lu Kang's men from the middle and Zhang Xian's men from the right also broke through the Wei army's defenses. Hu Lie's first camp was dismembered by the Wu army.

At this moment, Hu Yuan, the son of Hu Lie, also stepped across the pontoon bridge. Seeing that Hu Lie was heavily trapped, he couldn't help but turn pale with fright, and immediately summoned a small number of cavalry to rescue him.

When they boarded the camp and crossed the river first, they also arranged for the infantry to cross the river first, and the cavalry followed. At this time, there were only five or six hundred cavalry crossing the river. Hu Yuan was only 19 years old and had not yet reached the crown, but he was very courageous. Father was in trouble, and he didn't care to wait for more people to cross the river before rescue, but immediately got on his horse and drew his gun, and led more than [-] horsemen to rush towards the place where Hu Lie was besieged.

Wei Jun's Liangzhou Xiaoqi was indeed well-deserved. Although there were not many people, the impact was very powerful. Five hundred riders rushed up, as if entering a land without people.Wu's troops were all infantry, unable to stop them, they retreated one after another.

"Don't panic, Daddy, I'll save you!" Hu Yuan jumped on his horse and raised his gun, full of heroism, even though he was in the midst of the chaos, he was fearless, and looked at Hu Lie's side like cutting through the waves.

Hu Lie laughed and said: "My son is really a young hero!" Then he led his troops to rush out and joined Hu Yuan's soldiers.The father and son fought side by side, blocking Wu Jun's offensive.

Zhong Hui watched Hu Lie's deadly battle on the other side, and was also secretly anxious, so he urgently ordered the Wei army to speed up the march, trying to cross the Fu River as soon as possible.

Lu Kang never imagined that a young general of the Wei army would be so brave, and dared to go against the trend with only a few hundred cavalry, but it was this inconspicuous few hundred cavalry who stopped the Wu army's offensive. Hornets swarmed across the river, and Hu Lie led his troops to guard the ferry. If he wanted to eat the Wei army on the south bank in one go, he had no chance.

In Lu Kang's plan, it was to take advantage of Wei's unsteady foothold, catch him off guard, annihilate the Wei army on the south bank, and snatch the Fushui Ferry.But things backfired. Although the Wu army's attack achieved good results, it was still far from completely wiping out the Wei army. Seeing that more and more Wei troops were crossing the river, Lu Kang decisively gave up the attack and called for gold to withdraw his troops.

The Wu army's offensive was like a tide, coming fast and going fast. The entire south bank of the Fushui River was full of dead bodies. Wu Bing's second sneak attack.

After Zhonghui crossed the river, Hu Lie and Hu Yuan came forward to pay homage. There was only a gap of water, and Zhonghui could see the battle here clearly. Only then did the whole army of Wei win time to cross the river. Zhong Hui repeatedly praised him and made a great contribution to Hu Lie. For General Yamen, he will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold.

Lu Kang led the army to retreat to Fucheng, and the whole Wei army crossed the Fu River. The first battle between the two sides was evenly matched, with casualties. However, this was only a tentative contact between the two sides, and the real fierce battle had just begun.

After crossing the Fu River, it was getting late, and Zhong Hui was not in a hurry to storm Fu City overnight, but set up camp in the north of Fu City. The 10,000+ army set up a company camp for tens of miles, brightly lit.

Lu Kang looked at the Wei camp from the top of the city, and it was said that laymen watched the excitement, while experts watched the doorways. Lu Kang saw the fortifications of the Wei camp, the tents were neatly arranged, scattered and orderly, and he couldn't help sighing: "Zhong Huiguo is also a famous general of Wei." !"

Liu Ping said: "The people of Wei are so far away from the battle of Fushui. Today's battle at Fushui is extremely exhausting. The final general is willing to lead a group of elite troops to rob the camp at night. Even if he can't win completely, he can still make him fall on his back."

Lu Kang smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "A good fighter has no great achievements, so a good fighter has no extraordinary victories, no wisdom, and no bravery. Zhong Hui is a famous general of Wei. How can such a small trick of sneak attacking and robbing a stronghold be used among others?" Showing off in front of you, you see, the walls of the Wei army's camp are well-organized and impeccable. If you sneak attack at night, you may never return. Order the troops to strengthen their guard. Anyone without the order of the superintendent will not go out of the city to fight, and those who disobey the order will be executed!"

All the generals listened to the order in horror and did not dare to slack off.

In the tent of Wei Junzhong, the candles were brightly lit, Zhong Hui held the scroll in his hand, and read at night by the lamp. This habit Zhong Hui has persisted for many years and has never been interrupted.

"Report to the governor, all the camps have been set up, please give me instructions from the governor." Tian Xujin reported to Zhonghui.

Zhong Hui put down the scroll, and said calmly: "You lead an army to patrol inside and outside the camp, and the rest of the army rest early, recharge their batteries and prepare to attack the city tomorrow."

Tian Xu was in charge of patrolling tonight, but when Tian Xu heard Zhong Hui's order, he was slightly taken aback, and said: "Only the last general will lead an army to patrol, isn't it a little manpower, if the Wu army sneaks in at night, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist. "

Zhong Hui said with a chuckle: "General Tian is worrying too much, I think that Lu Kang is not a greedy and reckless person, such small tricks as stealing camps and robbing villages will never be used, and you are enough to patrol with an army of guards!"

Although Tian Xu was suspicious, he didn't dare to disobey his orders, he bowed his hands and promised, and turned away.

Zhong Hui smiled slightly. In today's battle at Fushui, he saw that Lu Kang was strict in running the army, and he had a certain amount of advances and retreats. Although the tactic of stealing camps and robbing villages was amazing, it was only one or two out of ten. When the real famous generals fight , Why don't you take these into account, those so-called tricks are only reflected among generals with unequal levels. Taking risks often ends badly, and Deng Ai is an obvious example.

Zhonghui stood outside the tent, looking south, the dark and towering city walls of Fucheng were clearly visible, tomorrow was the day of the general offensive, and the biggest battle since Zhonghui entered Shu was about to start, but the opponent changed his name by accident. In the country of Wu, the situation of the world is changing, and Zhong Hui is also unexpected.
