Three Kingdoms Online Games: Battle for Hegemony

Chapter 854: Sun Cejun captures Guangling

Guangling City finally fell into the hands of Sun Cejun. At this time, Yuan Yao's 20,000 aid troops had just arrived in Tangyi County. Seeing this situation, Yuan Yao, after discussing with Li Ling and Liu Xun, decided that Li Ling would lead an army of 10,000 to defend Tangyi and block Sun Cejun’s invasion of Jiujiang, while Yuan Yao would lead the army of 10,000 Yulin and Liu Xun’s 3,000 Defeated soldiers together and settled in Yuguo.

At this point, there are a total of 10,000 Yuan Yao’s imperial army in Yuguo City, 5,000 soldiers in Liu Xun’s battle barracks, more than 2,000 remnants of Zhang Xun and Yuan Si, and more than 3,000 defenders in the city, totaling 20,000 troops.

It was just that Yuan Shujun faced Sun Cejun, who was less than 50,000 yuan, but did not go out of the city again to fight, but stuck to the two cities, waiting for Shouchun's next arrangement.

At this time, Sun Cejun did not stop, arranged Sun Jing to lead 10,000 elites, and then recruited 10,000 new soldiers from the captives and Guangling people, a total of 20,000 troops to defend Guangling. Sun Ce divided the remaining 25,000 troops into two groups. Lu Dai led 10,000 troops to attack Hailing. Sun Ce himself led 15,000 elites and launched an attack on Gaoyou County together with Zhou Yu's navy.

After the news of the fall of Guangling reached Xiapi, Ji Ling knew that Xuzhou was no longer able to defend. Guangling and Xiapi were horns of each other. Now that Guangling lost, Sun Cejun had already invaded Jiangbei, and he was unable to advance or retreat in Xiapi.

Cao Cao dispatched nearly one hundred thousand troops, and Ji Ling himself and the soldiers in Xiapi City were no more than fifty thousand troops, and he could barely defend against Cao Cao's attack. Cao Cao left 20,000 elite and 20,000 foreign soldiers to defend the Ji Ling army, and sent another 60,000 army to step up the attack on Xiapi City.

After receiving the news that Sun Cejun had taken Guangling, Cao Cao's army stepped up the attack. Facing the increasingly powerful offensive of Cao Cao’s army, Ji Ling decided to change his strategy. First, he transferred 8,000 of Haixi’s 10,000 soldiers to Huaiyin, leaving only one thousand soldiers in Haixi City to help defend the city. , Another thousand people were sent to Huaipu City to make use of these soldiers, horses, and Huai River.

In addition, he drew 10,000 soldiers and horses from the remaining 30,000 troops into Xiapi City to assist Liang Gang and Yuan Yin in defending Xiapi, and he and Chen Ji led the 20,000 troops along. Go down from Surabaya, guard the cities of Suiling and Xutai, and guard the Huaishui line.

One is to guard the retreat of tens of thousands of troops in Huaibei, and the other is to guard the passage of Xuzhou into Jiujiang. In his opinion, the importance of Xuzhou is far from comparable to that of Jiujiang and Lujiang.

As for other places, Ji Ling thinks that with Yuan Yao leading the generals to keep faith in Tangyi and Yuguo, he can keep his word in Suiling and Xutai, plus the soldiers and horses of Xiapi City, and he can stop the soldiers and horses of the north and south. Entering Huainan, and on the Yuzhou battlefield, since last year, he has repelled the Anton Army's army of crossing the river several times. It should also be safe, so that the Emperor of Shouchun can buy more time.

What Ji Ling didn't expect was that the Yuzhou battlefield he thought was very stable was not as stable as he believed.

Just when Sun Ce began to sweep the cities in the southeast of Guangling County and Cao Cao's army once again launched an offensive against Picheng, the tens of thousands of troops of Yuzhou Army and An Dong Army had arrived in Runan. In order to confuse Yuan Shujun, General Huang Zhong's army One is divided into two, and an army of 100,000 gathered on the north bank of the Huai River between Yuanlu and Fubo, making a false image of crossing the river here.

Huang Zhong led the Yuanrong crossbowmen of the Huangfu Chaobo Guards and the 30,000 elites of the Iron Eagles, sneaking secretly into a camp southeast of Xinxi, and this will be Anton. Jundu River location.

As early as last year when discussing matters, Huangfu Chaobo had negotiated with everyone that the most suitable location for crossing the river was Xinxi. However, the construction of the warship by Xin Cai will definitely be discovered by Yuan Shujun, so Huangfu Chaobo prepared to give Yuan Shu. The army came to a "Ming repair plank road, secretly crossing Chen Cang."

Xincai began to build ships at the end of last year, and the news soon reached Huainan. After discussing it, Yuan Shujun felt that Xincai’s Yuzhou military navy would need to go down Rushui before reaching Huaishui, so starting last year , Yuan Shujun began to increase the patrol at the entrance of Rushui in the Huai River. In contrast, the naval forces in the upper reaches of the Huai River were significantly reduced.

What Yuan Shujun did not expect was that while the Yuzhou Army was building ships in Xincai, they were also building ships in a small river in Xinxi. However, Xincai built medium-sized warships such as Maotu Chima, while in Xinxi, he built smaller ships. This is a navy warship that can only carry about 20 people. In the navy, apart from the scout for reconnaissance, it is the smallest ship of this kind.

After a few months, Xinxi has built more than fifty boats that can carry more than one thousand soldiers across the river. In Xincai City, medium-sized warships enough for thousands of naval forces were built, as well as a huge number of large rafts for the army to cross the river.

On March 28th, the new Cai Shui Army entered Rushui and began to move down the river towards the Huai River. A day later, the navy fleet arrived on the north bank of Huaishui and joined the army that arrived first. For a while, the air on both sides of the Huaishui suddenly became tense. General Yuan Shujun Li Feng, who was stationed at Qisi, made patrols day and night, and at the same time, one after another, he asked Shouchun and Leyue for help.

In the afternoon, after receiving Li Feng’s rescue, Leyai did not want to but sent another two thousand naval forces to Qisi. By this time, the Yuan Shujun naval forces opposite Xinxi had only three thousand men, but they needed Visit the Huai River waterway, which is nearly three hundred miles long, from the county to Si.

In desperation, Le could only arrange one thousand navy forces in Xinxi, which was most suitable for crossing the river, and the other two thousand navy forces were distributed on the waterways of Xinxi and West, which were more than 100 miles away. In the camp on the south bank of the river, he deployed two thousand troops. The purpose of the two thousand troops was to assist the navy in controlling the pontoon bridge from the southern bank to the central island of the river. In a critical moment, Leju allowed the defending generals. Destroy the pontoon.

At the same time, Le Guin personally led five thousand soldiers to station in Shiguo County, more than ten miles away on the south bank of Huai Shui, plus five thousand defenders in the city, and 10,000 troops defended this line of defense that he believed to be his own. The most suitable place for crossing the river within the range.

In fact, Le Yee had considered destroying the pontoon bridge on the south side of Hexin Island, but after careful consideration, he gave up this idea temporarily.

When the Huai River passes south of Xinxi, it forms a big bend. The sediment accumulated over the years forms a small island in the middle of the river. The island is not located in the middle of the Huai River, but slightly off. Some location in the south. The island is not big, but it happens to be used as a water village camp for Yuan Shu's army.
