Chapter 767

Two hundred and eighteenth chapter Nanjun fierce battle

Picturesque, a moment how many hero. Thinking back to Gongjin’s time, Xiao Qiao was married for the first time, and she was majestic. Feather fans and scarves, ashes vanished between chatting and laughing.

– Su Shi, “Nian Nujiao, Chibi Nostalgia”

Zhou Yu had great expectations for the fierce attack of the Wu army. He put down his harsh words, and the Wu army could defeat the Nanjun garrison within ten days, go north to recover Jingxiang, and completely expel Cao’s army from the south. Zhou Yu commanded the Wu army to complete the formation in Nanjun within a day. Nanjun and Yiling were each other’s horns, and also scattered part of Zhou Yu’s forces.

Cao Jun of Nanjun was not willing to come out at all, and let Wu Jun yell and scold outside.

Zhou Yu was below, squinting, watching Cao Hong and Xiahou Dun drinking again in the city, ignoring the people below, and couldn’t help burning with anger. “Gan Ning!” Gan Ning with a mustache came over immediately. “You lead ten thousand troops to attack Yiling.”

This move really worked, and the defenders in Nanjun were not calm. In the evening, the South Commander Cao Chun led his troops out of the city, apparently to support Yiling’s pressure. When Zhou Tai saw that there was a man out of the city, he stepped forward with a gun, only two rounds, Zhou Tai shouted, danced the gun and stabbed, Cao Chun couldn’t dodge, was stabbed twice, fell off the horse and died, bleeding all over the place.

Cao’s army dispersed in a hurry. Wu Jun attacked one after another, but it was getting dark soon. It is not easy to attack the city with torches lit at night, not to mention the 140 pools of Nanjun City are very strong, so Wu Jun had to give up.

Gan Ning obviously made a big move in Yiling. The next day, Cao’s army stayed in the city all morning, and Cao Hong personally led the troops out of the city in the afternoon. As soon as Zhou Tai saw it, he picked up his gun and mounted his horse, and fought against Cao Hong for 20 rounds. After another ten rounds, Zhou Tai’s marksmanship became chaotic. Jiang Qin saw it and mounted his horse with a knife. There were many generals in the Wu army. Seeing this situation, Ling Tong, Dong Xi, and others raised their guns and mounted their horses, and came to besiege Cao Hong. Wu Jun rushed forward. Before Cao Hong was defeated, Cao’s soldiers under his command rushed to the city shouting. Cao Hong had one enemy against four, and he was too timid to fight, so he had to turn his horse’s head and slip into the city.

When Zhou Yu saw Cao Jun’s cowardly look, he couldn’t help laughing. Pick up the gun in person and take the lead in dashing over. Wu Jun’s morale was boosted, Cao’s army was crushed, and he ran into the city. As soon as the city gate opened, Cao Hong stepped on his horse to dodge in, and the soldiers inside the city were about to close the door, not even the Cao soldiers outside. But where can it be? Wu soldiers had already rushed to the door. That Zhou Yu took the lead, picked up several Cao soldiers with guns, and rushed in.

Zhou Yu was in high spirits and rushed into the city. Just as he was about to wave his gun and command the follow-up Wu Jun to follow up, unexpectedly, the horse stepped into the air and fell off with a thud. The Cao army bowmen who were ambushed around the city all jumped out and shot random arrows down. Zhou Yu was hit by two arrows in the shoulder and body.

Zhou Tai, who was behind, saw it, shouted, grabbed a round shield, and rushed into the encirclement. There was a wave of arrows raining on the city, and the shield that shot directly was like a hedgehog. When Cao Hong and Xiahou Dun saw that Zhou Yu was shot down, they were overjoyed, and they brought their soldiers and soldiers to rob him. Zhou Tai was the enemy of the second general, was stabbed several times, and vowed not to retreat. At the critical moment, Han Dang, who was behind, rushed in with a hundred cavalry. That Han Dang shouted: “Han Dang is here!” Dancing knife rushed over, rivaling the second general, without fear. He said sharply to Zhou Tai: “Fu Dudu to withdraw! I will block here!” Zhou Tai was injured and helped Zhou Yu on his horse, and under the cover of Wu army soldiers, he retreated in a hurry. That Han Dang is really brave, his sword is not old, he has even two enemy generals, and he fights and retreats. Withdrew from the city, beat the horse and followed the army and withdrew. But Cao Hong and Xiahou Dun didn’t chase after them, they just closed the city gate with them and returned to the city.

Zhou Yu was brought back to the camp by the generals, and he hurriedly called a military doctor, who applied medicine. The arrow is poisonous, so it can only be recuperated slowly, and remember not to get angry. How could Zhou Yu swallow this breath and lied that he was shot by an arrow and died. The whole army was dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, which led Cao’s army to come out, and Zhou Yu was ambushed in the middle. Cao Hong and Xiahou Dun hurriedly abandoned the city and retreated north amid the chaotic army.

That Han Dang (baac) and the others were about to take the Nanjun with his soldiers, but found that Zhang Fei had already robbed them. It turned out that the law was right, and the fisherman took advantage of the opportunity and took Nanjun.

When the news reached Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu was furious. Fortunately, the Wu army had a large number of soldiers, and they attacked everywhere. Gan Ning took Yiling, and the other Wu generals took Jingling and other places one after another, and they went straight to Xiangyang. Then Cao’s army had no main force in the south. After the defeat of Nanjun, the only 70,000 or 80,000 people were defeated. There were not many troops in Xiangyang. The Wu army was like a wolf and a tiger, and quickly captured Xiangyang. But Liu Bei was not a vegetarian either. The army connected north and occupied a large area of ​​Jingzhou. So in the northern part of Jingzhou, the forces of Liu Bei and Soochow were intertwined, eyeing each other. But since Sun and Liu were still fighting against Cao Cao, they naturally couldn’t be rude.

The strange thing is that Huang Zhong, who is stationed in Shangyong and other places, is not far from Jingxiang and even Nanjun, and he has never seen Huang Zhong send troops to seize territory.

But the answer was soon revealed. Huang Zhong led 50,000 iron cavalry and ran to the southern part of Jingzhou, and even conquered Changsha, Wuling and other places. Occupied most of the southern part of Jingzhou. In Changsha, there was a general named Wei Yan, who said that he admired Luochen and Liu Huangshu for a long time, killed the prefect, and took the initiative to open the city to surrender. Huang Zhong took his iron cavalry to run rampant in the southern part of Jingzhou. Anyone who dared to resist, the shocking ability of the Guanzhong iron cavalry can immediately make the enemy rout. A few days later, the fallen army rushed to Guiyang County at the southern end of Jingzhou. The Guiyang Governor had just heard that Changsha had fallen the day before, but two days later, the iron cavalry had already arrived at Guiyang City. Guiyang’s army and people were in panic, and the prefect Kaicheng asked to surrender.

So far, Sun Quan, Liu Bei, and Luochen have divided Jingzhou.

In order to cooperate with Zhou Yu’s attack in the southern county of Jingxiang, Sun Quan assembled an army of 150,000 troops and attacked Cao from the east to the north. Unexpectedly, Zhang Liao was not an easy-going guy. In Xiaoyaojin, he defeated the Wu army with 30,000 to 40,000 people. Sun Quan was unable to attack Hefei for a long time, so he retreated in panic. Zhang Liao’s fame was greatly shaken, and Sun Quan sighed that he underestimated the enemy.

Wu Jun’s spy reported a disturbing news to Zhou Yu. In the upper reaches of Shu, Xu Shu personally led people to build ships. I heard that a strange-looking general came to Xu Shu and formed a navy army to practice on the water of the Yangtze River every day.

But it’s a pity. Zhou Yu was shot twice in Nanjun, and he fought again and again. After winning Nanjun and Jingxiang, he fell ill. The generals urgently sent Zhou Yu back to Caisang to recuperate, and the Wu army stopped the northern expedition. It is a pity that Zhou Gongjin, Zhou Lang, who created the splendor of Chibi, passed away soon at the age of thirty-four. The Marquis of Wu lost his arm and ordered Lu Su to take over as governor. .

Chapter 219 The Death of Shah

The anxious Zhongping and other people near Lake Baikal soon discovered that a total of more than 400,000 troops had been searched, and the approximate scope of their station had been basically determined. They are surrounded by heavy troops, and once the fallen army continues to narrow the search area, they will eventually encounter them and fight them with seven times the force.

In the north, most of Luochen’s fierce generals gathered, including: General Xu Da, General Lu Bu, Zhonglang General Chang Yuchun, Xiahou Yuan, Ma Chao, and a small general named Huo Qubing was sent a few days ago.

Shaha knew that he had few pieces in his hand and had to be extremely cautious. He said frankly to Zhong Ping and Zhao Cheng: “Our goal is not to defeat the enemy, but to escape successfully.” Although this sentence is not pleasant, it is true. If they do not surrender, there is only one way of life before them, migration, migration to further west, or even northward migration. However, it wasn’t that easy. Luochen didn’t intend to give them the freedom of choice. He only wanted them to surrender or be eliminated. After all, the fallen army has been in the grasslands for too long, almost a year. Don’t care about staying for a while, they hope to catch the Shanyu named Zhongping with their own hands. Of course, most of the Xiongnu tribes had begun to resume production, and Yesuo had betrayed the country and began to lead these tribes to obey Luochen’s command.

“Are you going to migrate?” – Shaha finally confirmed.

“Yes.” Zhong Ping clenched his fists, “In five years, I will fight back.”

“If there is no resistance on the spot, you can’t go.” Shaha said coldly.

Zhong Ping was silent. He knew that once it was locked, an army of 400,000 people would rush over. Not to mention the migration of a large army, even a fly would not want to escape. The only way is for a part of the army to take the initiative, resist desperately, attract fallen troops, and create opportunities for others to retreat and escape the encirclement to gain time. Of course, for those who are responsible for the local resistance, the outcome is predictable.

“I’m in charge of local resistance,” Shaha said lightly.

“No! Old general, come with me!” Zhong Ping was a little excited. Shaha just sneered and shook his head noncommittally. Zhongping is a person who can go through adversity together, but cannot rule Taiping together. Now that disaster is approaching, he Shaha can become a general, if it is temporarily in a stable environment, is it still possible? Shah even suspected he would be placed under house arrest. He had not participated deeply before, but he retired in time and could patrol the depths of the grassland. Now that he has served as a general once, it is impossible for Xiang Xiaoyao. Shaha suspects that Zhongping will deprive him of all his powers once he stabilizes.

“I have feelings for the grassland, and I don’t want to see it ruled by aliens.” Shaha said lazily. “I am for the grassland, not for you. Besides, I will never leave the grassland. Leaving the grassland is like leaving the earth, leaving my mother, and leaving the grassland. I can’t live.”

Now that he said so much, Shaha made no secret of it and said all the words directly: “To be honest, I don’t approve of your rule, your coup d’etat.” He saw that Zhongping’s face changed, and he seemed to be angry, but he didn’t. care. Now Zhongping doesn’t have a decent general around him. If he kills Shaha, he won’t be able to run away. “But in contrast, I don’t like aliens ruling the grasslands. I am not interested in politics, I am only interested in military hunting, and only love the grasslands. So I will help you. A man from the grasslands died defending the grasslands. On the battlefield, it is naturally my best destination, and future generations will not laugh at me. Our country did not shrink back when we faced difficulties. I am still a general, whether you seal me or not, I will be a general.”

After a long silence, Zhong Ping didn’t know what to say. Then Zhao Cheng also felt that the atmosphere was not right. After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Cheng felt that there was no way out if he followed Zhong Ping. The fallen army is so strong, and now there are a large number of fallen soldiers even in the Western Regions. Does Zhongping want to escape there? There’s nothing wrong with that at all. But will he die for the grasslands like Shaha? He is not a prairie, he is just a person who works for the prairie, he is a Han Chinese. He didn’t want to go into exile with Zhongping, let alone die. Of course, the choice was very simple, surrender would be soon enough.

Having made up his mind, Zhao Cheng adjusted his tone and said sadly, “I follow General Shaha. The grassland is the place that nurtured me and made me. I don’t want to go anywhere, I just want to defend the grassland and die.”

0 ask for flowers

Zhong Ping didn’t answer, just looked at him coldly. Zhao Cheng was a little hairy, he tried his best to pretend to be sad, and even tried his best to squeeze out two tears.

“Okay.” Zhong Ping finally said. Zhao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Cheng was executed in the tent that night for collaborating with the enemy. The Xiongnu soldiers talked a lot. Of course, although this incident was frightening and murmured, there was no doubt that the siege of the fallen troops was the biggest problem. More and more Xiongnu soldiers deserted, and many people slipped away.

A few days later, Chang Yuchun’s search column was besieged. The column commander immediately commanded the troops to defend. The search troops were naturally intertwined, and in less than an hour, there were nearly seven columns outside to conduct a counter-encirclement, a total of about 100,000 people, and the 20,000 people led by Shaha were wrapped in layers.

………….0

Sun Yuanhua’s newly formed artillery column showed its strength. Its artillery column of more than 12,000 people, with a total of more than 300 cannons, bombarded frantically at the gathering place of the Huns. Such a violent artillery bombardment was beyond people’s imagination, and Lu Chen thought for a moment that it was the Verdun battlefield of World War I. The violent bombardment was like a meat grinder, blowing the terrified Hun soldiers to pieces. Thousands of people who had endured the shadow of the artillery fire cried and gave up their resistance and ran desperately to the periphery. They discarded their weapons and armor, and chose to raise their hands high and surrender directly.

“Stop it, stop it…” The artillery bombardment was only halfway through, and Luo Chen couldn’t stand it any longer, and said to Sun Yuanhua again and again. The artillery fire soon ceased, and all the surviving Hun soldiers surrendered. The soldiers searched the scorched earth for a long time, but still could not find Shah’s remains. According to reports from the soldiers of the previous column, the army was indeed led by Shah.

“Zhong Ping didn’t show up, there are not enough people, he wants to escape?” Luo Chen asked the surrounding generals.

“The encirclement is relatively tight.” Xu Da said confidently.

“Still haven’t found the remains? Sigh…” Luo Chen sighed, “Unfortunately, we are disrespectful to the old general!” Without waiting for an answer, he slapped his horse and walked away. .

Chapter 220 The end of the war

Fallen’s conjecture was quickly confirmed. The vanguard found the camp on the shore of Lake Baikal, and it was clear that Shah had not enough people. According to the report of the captured soldiers, Zhao Cheng had already been executed by Zhong Ping, and Zhong Ping took at least 40,000 troops and broke out westward. Shah originally planned to last for three to five days, but due to the extremely violent artillery fire of the fallen army, the Shah army was wiped out in less than a day. It is estimated that Zhong Ping will not be able to run very far.

“Huo Qubing!” Luo Chen called the name without raising his head.

“Yes!” The heroic young general caught his eye. “Lead 100,000 cavalry to search.” Luo Chen said slowly.

“Understood.” Huo Qubing immediately went out to execute without hesitation.

“This general is very young…” Xu Da sighed. Obviously, this little general has more than 20 “003” heads, but as soon as Luo Chen came up, he let him lead 100,000 iron cavalry, presumably he will be promoted to Zhonglang general immediately. “Do you want other generals to lead the team to cooperate with him? Anyway, if you are idle, you will be idle…” Xu Da suggested.

“No need.” Luo Chen looked very confident. “You go and organize the soldiers to pull out the camp and tell them that they can go home tomorrow.”

Not to mention the soldiers, even the generals looked happy. I was looking forward to going home every day, but I didn’t expect it to come so soon. I thought that the enemy in front of me would have to fight for another month, but I didn’t expect to defeat Shaha one day, and now Luochen said that he would wipe out Zhongping one day…

After the news came out, the various field armies stationed in the grasslands boiled over. They were all waiting for the little general named Huo Qubing, waiting for him to take down Zhongping in a day, and then the big army could go home.
