Shu Chen

Chapter 410
In terms of being able to make soldiers die, Jiangdong should take Zhu Huan as the best.

Even Zhu Ran, who has been guarding Jiangling City all year round and is at the front line, can't focus on the beauty of the front.

Therefore, in the previous battles when Sun Quan marched into Huainan, Zhu Huan's troops were often the ones who retreated, which often made the Wei army fearful and did not dare to follow up.Qin Huang, the general of the Fifth Battalion appointed by Zhu Huan as the vanguard, dared to march alone in Shouchun. The biggest support was that the [-] soldiers in charge were all elites under Zhu Huan's command.

According to his prediction, even if he ran into Wei Jun, he would still have the power to fight.

If things cannot be done at the right time, it is not difficult to retreat.

But what he didn't expect was that the person who was rescued by the governor's army in Shouchun was Sun Li, the governor of Wei Yangzhou, who was known for his courage and courage.Moreover, the [-] soldiers and horses he brought under his supervision were still kept in Shouchun City during the busy farming season and used as a mobile force for the Huainan front. One can imagine how elite they are.

However, Sun Li hurried all the way to Shaopi, and after learning that the Wu army had retreated to the Chengde garrison point, he ordered the soldiers to rest for an hour, and then marched into Chengde lightly.

He planned to take back this strategically important place when the Wu army occupied Chengde for a short time and the camp was not stable.

As for the Wu army's infantry and cavalry totaling nearly [-], as the commander of the Shaopi water army said, the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered.
He didn't think much of it.

Soldiers are expensive and fine, not expensive.

Wu Jun had just gone through a hard battle, and he was already exhausted, and the Wei Jun had a high chance of winning more with less.

Furthermore, abandoning the boat and going ashore to fight fiercely, how can the Jiangdong rats be the opponents of the Wei army?
The two armies, both relying on something, met unexpectedly in the East Feishui River Valley.

A fierce battle is also inevitable.

One side recharged its energy and stored up its energy, while the other came with courage. At the beginning of the war, the two sides were evenly matched.

But Sun Li, who had more troops, saw that the battle was at a stalemate, and felt that he could not fight for a long time, otherwise, once the Wu army occupying the Chengde garrison point came to support after hearing the news, they might be defeated.

Therefore, he was so excited that he personally led his personal guards to charge into battle.

Even if the war horse was wounded in many places and fell to death, it did not change the bravery of leading the soldiers.

The official governor of Yangzhou is still so desperate, which can certainly inspire the soldiers of the Wei army to die.After the battle lasted for an hour, the Wu army was finally broken into without a battle formation, which led to the collapse of the whole army.

Qin Huang, the general of the Fifth Battalion, died in the chaos.

Thousands of the [-] soldiers under his command were killed before the battle, and the rest were either trampled to death or pushed into Dongfei River and drowned. Only more than [-] people fled to the Chengde defense point.

Yes, there were very few capitulators.

In the land of Wuyue, there are also many heroic people.

Zhu Huan, who took all his salary and family wealth to support officials and nurses, had few traitors under his command.

It was precisely because of this that Sun Li gave up the idea of ​​driving the defeated troops to sweep Chengde.Seeing that Wu Jun was so brave and resolute, he didn't have much hope for the odds of defeating the crowd with a few.

But hastily cleaned up the battlefield, transferred the army to Shaopi Water Village and returned.

And in the future, Zhu Huan's army will arrive.

Knowing that Qin Huang was defeated by the fifth battalion, he became even more angry.

But he has no reason to accuse Zhuge Ke and Chen Biao's troops of not joining forces to go north, let alone rushing to the city of Shoushouchun alone. After thinking about it, he asked Zhuge Ke and other troops to attack Wei again Shaopi water village.See if it is possible to capture Shaopi and enter the Huaikou, and plan for the Jiangdong navy to enter the Huaihe River.

It can also be regarded as making up for one's own mistakes in scheduling, and avenging the fallen soldiers.

But he was wasting his time.

Sun Li, who transferred to Shaopi, ordered the soldiers to burn down the water village, and all of them were sent to camp at the mouth of the Huaihe River!
Perhaps, it was because he knew in his heart that after the river valley where the Dongfei River entered Shaopi was occupied by Jiangdong, the Wei State water army would not be able to compete with Wu State's elite water army on the lake.

That being the case, it is better for a strong man to cut off his wrist.

Let's gather soldiers and horses at the entrance to Huaihe River first, and then make plans after the arrival of reinforcements.

And Zhu Huan, who was seeking a battle to no avail, had no choice but to wait patiently for the arrival of the follow-up army, no matter how unwilling he was.

Two days later, Lu Xun and Quan Cong arrived.

After beating the drums to gather the generals for a meeting, Quan Cong, Zhuge Ke, and Chen Biao went north to camp in Shouchun City; he and Zhu Huan's tribe launched an attack on the Huaikou from Shaopi.

After seven or eight days of fierce fighting, they could not be pulled out.

Gein Manchong finally arrived!

Although the military strength of Wei State is nearly half less than that of Wu State, but relying on the location of the camp to defend and block the Huaikou with iron chains, Wu State's navy is useless, and it was not defeated for a while. Break the worry.

There is no crisis in Shouchun City for the time being.

At this time, Wang Ling had already recruited back all the soldiers scattered in various counties, about [-] soldiers.

Moreover, there was sufficient food and fodder in the city, and the [-] cavalry from the North Battalion on the other side of the Huai River in Zuozhi also rushed to the outside of the city to support them, so that the Wu army did not dare to attack with all their strength, and it was still possible to just hold on to the city without losing it.

Unable to let the navy enter the Huai River to isolate Shouchun's reinforcements, Lu Xun once again gathered the generals to discuss and adjust their tactics.

It was Wei Guo's navy who left Quan Cong's troops stationed at the Chengde garrison point and guarded Shaopi's entry into the Huaihe River.

It is worth mentioning that he also asked Zhu Jibu, who had originally camped outside the new city of Hefei, to return to the old site of Hefei City to protect the soldiers and young men from Lujiang County who came to build the city!
The meaning behind such a dispatch, both Wei and Wu, both generals have a hidden understanding.

Lu Xun planned to besiege Shouchun City for a long time, and waited for the Luoyang Zhongjun of Wei State to come to fight fiercely, and use the encirclement point to fight for help!
Therefore, the three strategic locations of Hefei Old City-Hefei New City-Chengde Garrison Point were connected in series to guard the channel for the Wu army to transport grain by boat.

That is to say, this war is likely to be protracted.

If only from the strategic level, Lu Xun's current approach is quite similar to Sima Yi's defense of the city of Tanyin in Hexi, taking the lead in the battle and "waiting for the enemy to win".

In other words, the deduction and scheduling of the battle that can determine the fate of the country are roughly the same.

Correct!
This time Jiangdong is betting on the fate of the country, and the chances of winning with all the soldiers of the country!

Except for Zhu Ran, Zhuge Jin, Lu Dai, and Pan Jun, who were required to defend the Jingnan front, Lu Xun, who was still worshiped as the governor, led nearly [-] troops into Huainan this time, which was almost regarded as the entire Jiangdong counties. All the soldiers and horses were looted.

Moreover, when he and Sun Quan were planning, they used the Battle of Hanzhong as an example, claiming that this battle was "one battle with all its achievements"!
When Zhao Lie Liu Bei and Wei Wu Cao Cao competed for Hanzhong County, Bashu did not give up even when it reached the point where "men fight and women win luck".

Because there is no Hanzhong in Bashu, there will never be a day to leave Shu!

The same is true of Jiangdong today.

Without Huainan, the state of Wu would never have the opportunity to enter Tuyuan.

Therefore, once this battle starts, regardless of whether the Shanyue lords in the rear gather to attack the counties, whether the food and fodder supplies will be conscripted for women to be transported, etc., until the Shoushouchunquan is located south of the Huai River, we will never stop fighting!
