Shu Chen

Chapter 406 Yin Attack
The new city of Hefei was breached, Shouchun was trapped in a precarious state, and the south of the Huai River was about to disappear.

This military situation is no less than a bolt from the blue to the emperor Cao Rui and the dukes of the Luoyang Temple.

Who would have expected that the bandit Wu, who lost countless soldiers and returned in a disastrous defeat in the early summer and April, did not want to appease the soldiers and Li Shu, but brazenly sent troops to fight again?

When the emperor Cao Rui heard about it, endless remorse welled up in his heart in an instant.

As early as last year, Man Chong had reminded him to beware of thieves Wu, not to let the defense of the Huainan front relax, and not to let Wei Guo fall into the embarrassment of the two fronts.However, due to the perception that Jiangdong was unbearable to fight for a long time in the past wars, he did not take Man Chong's advice seriously.

Even if Sima Yi, who planned the plot, claimed that he could suspend the strategy of conquering Shu after riding countless horses in Fei Yao's defeat, his obsession with the loss of Longyou did not change.

The deadliest thing was the mobilization of the Luoyang Central Army.

In order for the Yongliang war to proceed as scheduled, he did not hesitate to send most of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the newly formed Wuhuan Tuqi to Yongliang.

Regardless of whether the Jingxiang front is in a hurry or the Huainan battlefield is invaded, the only reinforcements are the Luoyang Chinese Army.

Among them, the cavalry who can rush to the battlefield quickly is an indispensable combat force!

But now when the Huainan military report came, Cao Rui was sad to find that there were only [-] tiger and leopard cavalry in Luoyang.
And there are [-] cavalry, armor cavalry that cannot run thousands of miles.

Therefore, Cao Rui could only hope that Man Chong, who had been transferred to Ancheng, Runan, would be able to restrain the soldiers and horses of the thief Wu before he returned the other cavalry, so as to ensure that Shouchun City would not be lost.

Yes, just hold back.

Instead of repelling the thief Wu's invaders.

No need to think too much, you know that the thief Wu Neng broke through Hefei in one fell swoop and divided his troops to besiege Shouchun.

However, most of the soldiers and horses supervised by Man Chong are county soldiers, and their combat power is really not strong.

Without a city to rely on, it is difficult to win a fierce battle in the wild.

Moreover, it was August and the relationship between the end of the previous summer war, most of the troops of the various counties under the supervision of Man Chong were on rest or returning to the garrison for the autumn harvest.

With few soldiers and worrisome combat power, Cao Rui would not have extravagant hopes even if Man Chong repelled Jiangdong many times.

This is also the case, after sending an edict to Yongliang, ordering Qin Lang, Xia Houxian and Qianhong to immediately supervise the tiger and leopard cavalry, and Wuhuan Tuqi to the Huainan battlefield, Cao Rui drove a thousand tiger and leopard cavalry first.

Although, Qianqi can't control the war.

But he rushed to Shouchun in person, which could boost the morale of the soldiers in the two prefectures of Yanyu and encourage the soldiers in Shouchun City to stick to their defenses.

The rest of the Luoyang Central Army was led by General Jiang Ji, the guard general.

In other words, as the old heroes and good generals of the Wei State withered one after another, the only person who was familiar with and able to make decisions on the Huainan front, besides Man Chong, was Jiang Ji.

As for why Cao Rui didn't mobilize soldiers and horses from Qingzhou and Xuzhou to help?
It's not negligence, it's really impossible!
There are not many soldiers and horses stationed in Qingxu Erzhou.

Moreover, Sun Shao, the guard general of Guangling in Xuzhou, who belonged to Wu, has already joined forces with Zhang Cheng and other troops to go up the Zhongdu River and enter Fanliang Lake!If Qing Xu's soldiers and horses go south, he will continue to go north and enter Huaiyin County in the heart of Xuzhou.

At that time, I am afraid that Xuzhou will be full of smoke and fire, and the scholars will be in a panic.

If you care about one, you will lose the other, why bother!

Coincidentally, the Lord of Wu, Sun Quan, who had been staying in Jingzhou to attract Wei Guo's attention, was also on his way to Huainan.

Unlike Cao Rui, he is full of vigor and high spirits when his ambitions are rewarded.

Hefei, the fortified city that repeatedly smashed Jiangdong's halberds into the sand and prevented Jiangdong from going up to compete, has finally been broken!
As long as Shouchun City can be breached again, and Cao Wei's counterattack can be withstood, the Wu State, which is all based in Yangzhou, will no longer only care about power and profit, and live in a peaceful corner.

Instead, he has the vigor to forge ahead in the Central Plains and set the Dinghuangtu hegemony!

Ever since he betrayed the alliance and seized Jingnan and seized the danger of the Yangtze River, he has been waiting for this moment all the time!

Today's dawn is approaching, how can we not be high-spirited?
Therefore, at this moment, he was very grateful that he had listened to the plan of the ally Zheng Pu in the past, and felt that his decision to grant all the land in the north of the Yangtze River to the gentry in Wu was very wise.

Yes, since he decided on the strategy of Yin's attack on Huainan, he had many secret talks with Wudihao clan.

First, Lu Xun's concubine Lu Hong was the prefect of Lujiang, and then the method of dividing Yangzhou in the north of the Yangtze River was determined: all the land was owned by the nobles of Wudi, and they were divided according to the merits of the war!The rest of the Sunwu clan and Huaisi scholars who participated in the war were rewarded for their merits, and they were also awarded in the Jingnan painting area.

The incentive policy of such tangible benefits has achieved remarkable results.

The Wudihao family and the generals of the Wudi, who had been worried that too many casualties in the private army would lead to the loss of power, finally fought with all their strength this time!
In the dispatch of the Yinan attack on Huainan, Zhu Huan's tribe who stayed in Zhongzhou was the main force to attack Hefei City.

Zhuge Ke, who had more than ten thousand Danyang soldiers as his headquarters, and Chen Biao, who supervised Xiefan soldiers, entered Liu'an County from Chaohu via Shukou, and attacked Shaopi where the Wei Guoshui army camp was located.

Even if we can't capture Shaopi, we still have to set up a camp to guard the mouth of Dongfei Shuikou!

Because the two of them did this not only to prevent Man Chong, who was stationed in Yuzhou, from driving to Hefei, but also to destroy all the boats of Wei State, so that the Jiangdong army that came later could go to the battlefield by water smoothly.

The follow-up army will naturally be Lu Xun and Quan Cong who came down the river from Wuchang in Jingnan.

Hefei Xincheng is small and strong, and the troops under Zhu Huan's command can already trap it to death and attack it day and night.

Therefore, after Lu Xun, Quan Cong and other troops arrived at Chaohu Lake, they did not need to attack Hefei with Zhu Huan's troops. Instead, they passed through Hefei City and went north along the Dongfei River, passing through Chengde County, and went straight to Shouchun City, trapping and attacking it.

As for the Wei army stationed in Chengde County, how to pull them out, Jiangdong has also deployed.

It is the cavalry that has been established for nearly two years!
Riders can be called elite after one year of formation, two or three years before battle, and four or five years after many bloody battles.

It seems a little inappropriate to send cavalry who are less than a year old to go into battle and take on heavy responsibilities.
There is no need to worry about this.

Sun Quan sent more than [-] of his personal guard cavalry into this cavalry to serve as the backbone.

And the cavalier's strategy and bravery are trustworthy.

It's Ding Feng, the partial general.

Ding Feng, courtesy name Chengyuan, was born in Anfeng, Lujiang.

Born in a poor family, he was famous for his bravery when he was young.

Successively under the tents of Gan Ning, Lu Xun, Pan Zhang, etc., Jiangdong has been conquered in many wars.Whenever facing a battle, he takes the lead and does not avoid the front arrow, and can often kill the general and capture the flag and return.

He supervised [-] cavalry, and Bei Dao rushed to Chengde County to set up an ambush. When Zhu Huan surrounded Hefei City and attacked, the Wei garrison guarding Chengde would definitely send troops out of the camp to investigate after learning about it.It will also give Ding Feng the opportunity to make a surprise attack, drive the rout soldiers into the county, and pull out all the garrison soldiers and horses.

With such scheduling, almost all the changes on the battlefield were deduced, and it is not surprising that the Wei army in Huainan was caught off guard.

However, it was not Zhu Huan who took down Hefei City in the first battle.

And thanks to a partial teacher.
