The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 443
Sun Quan and Lu Meng learned that the Jingzhou army had suddenly launched an attack on Jiang Qin's troops, and immediately suspended their attack on Jiangling City.Lu Meng then sent Zhuge Jin to lead a 5000-strong army to immediately reinforce Jiang Qin's army.

But Zhuge Jin's troops were still late.When they rushed to the battlefield, Jiang Qin's troops had been defeated more than an hour ago.

Zhuge Jin sighed inwardly for no reason.Because after the Jingzhou army defeated Jiang Qin's troops, they unexpectedly marched northward to Jiangling City to relieve the siege of Jiangling City.In fact, the Jingzhou army didn't even occupy the camp of Jiang Qin's army.

Therefore, without the support of any intelligence, Zhuge Jin can only guess in his heart that the reason why the Jingzhou Army did this is that, firstly, their operation may be just a retaliatory sneak attack; Suddenly something happened again, so they retreated hastily without taking the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Wu Jun.

But regardless of the situation above, Zhuge Jin felt that God was protecting Lord Wu and did not make Wu Jun's situation worse.

Therefore, Zhuge Jin did not have any intention of chasing the retreating enemy army.He immediately returned to the army and stationed in Jiang Qin's camp.Then, he passed the news of Jiang Qin's defeat and death to Sun Quan and Lu Meng outside Jiangling City.

After Sun Quan and Lu Meng got the letter, their faces were not very good-looking.Sun Quan was even furious in his heart. His cavalry team, which he worked so hard to build, was wiped out like this?Did the Jingzhou army come here on a targeted basis, or was it really just an accidental raid as Zhuge Jin said, and then by accident, wiped out his own cavalry team?
With a slap, Sun Quan's huge palm slapped on the table in front of him, cursing Jiang Qin in his heart that he deserved it!

When Lu Meng saw Sun Quan's performance, he didn't dare to speak casually, so as not to touch Sun Quan's bad luck.Both of them were speechless for a long while, Sun Quan frowned, while Lu Meng lowered his head slightly, looking at the carpet in front of the table, seemingly in a daze, but actually he was thinking about the problem in his heart.

Then, Sun Quan finally broke the silence, and asked Lu Meng, "Captain Lu, what do you think of the current situation of our army?"

Lu Meng didn't quite understand why Sun Quan would ask such a question, but he just said, "My lord, no matter how the current situation changes, as long as our army is not defeated, our army still maintains an advantage over the Jingzhou army—at least psychologically. The advantage above!"

Sun Quan nodded, seemingly in agreement.But he felt that Lu Meng didn't understand what he meant, and asked again: "Now our army has been attacking Jiangling City for six days, and the soldiers are very tired now. But the enemy army in the city is still firmly guarding the city." At the head of the city, what should I do?"

Lu Meng secretly sighed in his heart, the one who was going to come finally came, so he understood what Sun Quan meant, and said, "My lord, judging from the current situation, Jiangling City temporarily covered up the news of Guan Yu's death. So , The morale of their army has not suffered too much. This is why their current combat effectiveness is still very strong."

There was a sudden flash in Sun Quan's emerald green eyes, revealing a light like a wild cat, then nodded, motioning for Lu Meng to continue talking.

Lu Meng said: "So, our army will stop attacking the city for the time being, continue to encircle Jiangling City in an all-round way, and wait for our soldiers to repair before attacking the city. In fact, it is also a way."

Sun Quan secretly praised Lu Meng for understanding his thoughts.But he didn't want to be said to be a coward, so he pretended to be confused and asked: "Dudu Lu, if our army does this, is it really necessary?"

Lu Meng nodded and said solemnly: "It is indeed necessary. Besides, the weather is relatively cold now, so we will besiege Jiangling City until the rainy season in spring. There is no problem. Besides, siege wars are often It is not good for us to attack the city. Therefore, it is still a good method to use the long-term siege as the main method, coupled with the continuous dissemination of news of Guan Yu's death, so that the enemy's own morale in the city will collapse."

Sun Quan nodded, his expression became much more relaxed, and he said, "Since Dudu Lu said so, then let's do it for now." It was clear that he turned his original intention into Lu Meng's suggestion.In the future, even if someone wants to talk about things, they will only talk about Lu Meng.

Lu Meng obviously didn't know Sun Quan's scheming, but he was very happy to see Sun Quan accepting advice so well, and said: "Then in order to cooperate with this plan, I am afraid that the time to send Guan Yu's head to Cao Wei will have to be delayed again. .”

Sun Quan nodded, agreeing to Lu Meng's suggestion.

Lu Meng immediately took the order and left. Of course, the military order to withdraw the army had to be conveyed through him, the commander-in-chief of the three armies.

After Zhou Tai, Zhu Huan and others received Lu Meng's military order, of course they felt very upset.After all, they have been fighting under the city for so long, and their soldiers suffered a lot of injuries.Coupled with the previous sieges, they had formed a personal enmity with the Jingzhou army in the city.

Especially Zhou Tai, he can be regarded as a completely worthless reckless man.Although he knew that he could not disobey the governor's order to withdraw troops, but before withdrawing troops, he pointed at the Jingzhou army at the top of the city and cursed loudly.He really lost the demeanor that a general should have, and Yu Jin, who was standing on the top of the wall, shook his head.

However, of course Yu Jin could not reply, nor did he send troops out of the city to pursue him.Because his rich marching experience told him that Wu Jun's siege had indeed stopped temporarily, but their army still blocked Jiangling City thickly.It would be too risky to attack at this time, and it would be safer to stay in the city.

In fact, Yu Jin's idea is indeed correct.It is of course impossible for someone as wise as Lu Meng to adopt a simple way of withdrawing troops.He had already ambushed the troops on the way to withdraw the troops.If Yu Jin dared to send troops out of the city to pursue them, what awaited them would be a catastrophe.

Liu Chan directly led his army into the big stronghold guarded by Liao Hua, and then began to count the enemy generals killed this time.He found that Shi Hui definitely killed the most people, and he was indeed a killer!

Then, Zhao Feng and Liao Hua also killed several captains and captains.In total, 13 generals above the captain of the Wu army were killed in this battle, and the upper-level organizational system of the army almost disappeared.

Then, Liu Chan wrote down Shi Hui

Liu Chan got the information that Jiangling City was temporarily relieved that night.He, Shi Guangyuan and the others couldn't help but feel great joy in their hearts, this was definitely an unexpected harvest for them.

However, Liu Chan did not think that Sun Quan and Lu Meng's actions were mentally retarded, because their actions were justified.

For one thing, the soldiers who attacked the city had been fighting for such a long time in such a cold winter, and they were exhausted all the time; two, Jiang Qin's army was defeated, and Wu Jun's flanks had holes.There is no better excuse for withdrawing troops than this, even if Liu Chan himself is the person involved, he will definitely use it.

Then, Liu Chan smiled at Shi Guangyuan and Wang Fu: "You two gentlemen, then we will wait for Ni Hen's battle report."

Shi Guangyuan nodded with a smile, and Wang Fu also showed a rare smile.Since Guan Yu's death, Wang Fu has not felt as happy as he is today for some days.

In the early morning of the same day, Ni Hen led his army, with the help of the Jingshan barbarians in Prussia, to take advantage of the snowfall and attack Yiling City by surprise, successfully killing the guards Li Yi and Xie Jing.

But when they were chasing the remnants of the enemy army, they encountered Sun Huan's troops stationed on the mountain at Huya Mountain.Relying on the advanced fortifications built on the mountain, Sun Huan firmly guarded the passage of Huya Mountain and protected Xie Jing's defeated army.Really a great character.

Huya Mountain is located at the east mouth of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.It is located on the shore of Huya Shoal, facing Jingmen Mountain across the river, forming the pass into the Xia River, which is a scenic spot of the Three Gorges.According to a book, "Huya has stone walls, its text is yellow and red, and it has tooth shapes."The mountain is named after its image, hence the name Huya.On the opposite side of Huya Mountain across the Yangtze River is Jingmen Mountain.

Then, when the weather was fine the next day, Sun Huan took advantage of his geographical advantage and led his army to launch a fierce attack from the bottom of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.

In fact, the Jingshan barbarian army of thousands of people led by Prue was very good at fighting in the mountains.Therefore, Ni Hen sent them to meet the enemy from the very beginning.The two sides were fighting in the dark all of a sudden.

But as time went by, Sun Huan had no limit to stop, because he had already identified the shortcomings of the barbarians.Sure enough, the shortcomings of the small number of Jingshan barbarians were still exposed, and they were almost unable to withstand the impact of Sun Huan's superior force.

Seeing this, Ni Hen had no choice but to send more troops to Pulu.But Sun Huan seemed to want to fight with Ni Hen, Ni Hen increased his troops, and he immediately increased his troops, it was too difficult to deal with.

The two sides continued to carry out refueling tactics in this way until the afternoon of the same day.

At this time, Ni Hen's scout team sent news that the reinforcements sent from Jiangling City to Huya Mountain had already arrived fifty miles away.

When Ni Hen and Prue saw the enemy's force and reinforcements, they had no choice but to retreat. It was a small defeat.

Then, Ni Hen led the army to take the heads of Li Yi and Xie Jing, went north to Liao Huajun's Dazhai, and went to meet Liu Chan on business.
