After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 394 Surprise Attack on Pi County
During this period of time, the Han army and the Wu army had had brief contact, but both sides were very cautious, and did not intend to expand the scale of the war. They were mainly probing, and Meng Di also seemed very patient.

He knew very well in his heart that Fu Chai, the king of Wu, was in a stalemate here because his troops were not yet fully in place. If Sterile was fully prepared, he would definitely attack Tancheng directly in the next step.

However, an expected news came, that is, Xu Cheng, the general of Wu Jun's navy, had already taken Huai City along the coast, and Wang Bo and Meng Wu led the navy, going up the river to cut off Wu Jun's navy in the back. the back road.

Now Mengdi is also waiting. When he withdrew from the new city before, he had already left behind according to Yidun's suggestion. As long as Fucha started to attack Tancheng, he would take the initiative to attack Pixian County.

As long as they seize the right opportunity and make noise in the new city, it will depend on Wu Jun's choice at that time. As long as they show their flaws, they can seize the opportunity and defeat Wu Jun in one fell swoop.

The army of Pi County has appeared fifty miles north of Tancheng. It is obvious that it is preparing to support Fucha's army, and it is also a bait to attract Mengdi to attack. In this way, Wu Jun can seize the opportunity to fight a siege .

Now that he understood, Mengdi would not be fooled, but it did not prevent him from following his plan, so he immediately ordered the whole army to dispatch, and 15 cavalry went directly to the camp of the Pixian army.

Fu Chai was overjoyed when he got the news. After assembling Zhong Wu's army, he divided into two groups, blocking the one road outside Tancheng to cut off the back of Meng Di's army, while the other road was heading towards Pi County.

In this way, Wu Jun formed a pin-shaped encirclement trend, but how could Mengdi make Fucha his wish?Before his army approached Pixian's camp, he changed direction and headed all the way towards Pixian.

After rushing to the city, they directly attacked the city without saying a word, and did not siege the city. The main reason was to save time and concentrate superior forces. In a short period of time, dozens of bed crossbows were built.

After that, they concentrated their firepower to attack a city gate. In less than two hours, the city gate fell under the bombardment. This scene horrified the defenders in the city. They had never seen such a powerful siege method.

Then the bed crossbow moved forward and began to aim at the defenders on the top of the city, and then the cavalry began to move towards the city gate in a small scale. If the enemy army was found gathered at the city gate and prepared to defend, then adjust the bed crossbow step forward.

Under this crushing style of play, the morale of the defenders quickly collapsed. Meng Di only paid the price of hundreds of casualties, and easily took Pi County, and also seized a small amount of food and grass.

So Mengdi immediately ordered to demolish the city gate, destroy the suspension bridge, destroy the city wall as much as possible, and fill the moat with the demolished bricks and stones. Two days later, when Fucha came with the army.

He saw a Pi county without a city gate, and the city wall had been severely damaged, which made him furious, but he had no choice but to do so. There was not much food and grass hoarded in Pi County, and the loss was not too big.

The most important thing is that Mengdi's cavalry moved so fast that they couldn't catch them at all. Fucha was very upset and asked.

"Where will this group of Han troops go now? If we fight like this, we won't even be able to catch the enemy's shadow, and our soldiers will be exhausted alive. How can we fight this battle then?"

Bo Pi didn't expect that the Han army's siege weapon would be so powerful, and took Pi County in less than a day, but now he had to find the main force of the Han army anyway, so he frowned and thought for a while Said.

"According to the reports from the military lords, the Han army is marching in the direction of Weicheng. In this case, they are likely to attack the large army in Pi County. This is also Mengdi's usual method. The purpose is to catch them by surprise and attack them by surprise."

After hearing this, Fu Chai also felt that this possibility was very high, and in the end he didn't dare to hesitate, but this time he marched more cautiously. The main reason is that the main force of the Han army has lost its movement now.

Meng Di and his men were indeed headed towards the city, but his target was not the army of Pi County, but when he was not far from the city, he made a direct circle and headed towards Luoma Lake.

Since he wanted to pester Wu Jun, he had to cut off his retreat first. Only in this way could Wu Jun lose ground, so Meng Di's next attack target was Zhong Wu, which also took a considerable risk.

Because once Wu Jun found out his intention, then as long as the time came to concentrate his forces and block Zhongwu, Meng Di would have no way out, but because of the danger, he felt that Fu Chai might not be able to imagine it.

If Wu Zixu is still alive, Meng Di would definitely not dare to do this. After all, the opponent's strategic vision is quite good. To fight against such a master, you can only follow the steps. It is difficult to use such a method as a sneak attack.

Three days later, Fu Chai felt something was wrong, because Junhou had completely lost the news of the main force of the Han army. After much consideration, Fu Chai decided to attack Tancheng with all his strength. Obviously, Meng Di might be delaying time.

Then simply come to an attacking enemy to save, and then attract Meng Di to lead his troops back to help, and then he can come and wait for work.

Afterwards, the three armies joined forces and directly surrounded Tancheng. After setting up a posture, the construction began. Ji Ran, with his calm identity, asked someone to make a pot of good tea, and then sat on the top of the city. Looking at the situation below, while drinking tea.

Wu Jun launched a fierce attack as soon as they came up, but when they just approached the city, they saw the rain of arrows falling all over the sky, ranging from far and near, and there were bed crossbows mixed in.

Moreover, these arrow rains seemed to be endless, and they fired three waves in a row. Because they were condescending, the results were quite good. You must know that bows and arrows are relatively extravagant in combat these years.

The reason is very simple. It is not easy to train a qualified archer. Therefore, in large-scale battles, archers are generally paired with chariots, and are not listed as a separate unit.

So after Fu Chai saw this scene, he stretched out his hand and lay directly on the armrest of the chariot, his face full of disbelief.

He watched helplessly that those disciples wearing light armor or no armor fell down in pieces like straw, and were harvested by the Han army.
