The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 673
In fact, the reason why Lu Kai told the tooth general was not because of his sincerity.He just didn't want to confuse the morale of his army, so he used these words to calm down the general's emotions first.But coincidentally, Lu Kai had indeed guessed correctly what Sun Huan and even Sun Jun were thinking.

Of course, as the chief general of the original garrison stationed in Puqi, Lu Kai also knew the importance of Puqi City to the Shu Han army's plan to quickly seize Jiangxia County.

When he was ordered by Lü Meng to lead his troops into Puqi that day, he had already received Lv Meng's explanation: Lv Meng had already seen that Puqi City was located at the throat, and once he locked it in his hand, he could cut off the east-west traffic.If the Shu Han army does not capture here, they will not be able to smoothly transport strategic materials from the west for the army to fight near Jiangxia County.

It is precisely because of this that in Lu Kai's view, when the Jiangdong Army decided to launch a war against Jiangxia County, in order to ensure the initiative in the war against Jiangdong, the first thing that needed to be done was to occupy Puqi City.On the other hand, although Han Dang, the commander-in-chief of the army, is not outstanding in terms of command ability, he has been on the battlefield for a long time and is quite accurate in his grasp of timing, so he is confident that Pu Qi can continue to hold on for a while.But God knows how long Sun Huan's reinforcements will be delayed.

At this moment, the attack of the Shu Han army began to show signs of weakening.Han Dang immediately seized the opportunity and gave an order, and his army began to fight back!

Under Han Dang's deployment, the army's reserve team was suddenly dispatched, outflanking from both sides, wielding swords in their hands, and launched a new attack on the Shu Han army on the top of the city.

The soldiers lined up in a neat line in front of them pressed down like a mountain, the swords and guns in their hands were sharp and ruthless, the rain of arrows was endless, the sound of neat footsteps was frightening, and the dense formation made people feel hard to fight against. His timidity forced the enemy back like a broken bamboo.

On the battlefield, all kinds of weapons flashed coldly, and the blood of the soldiers swayed in the air in chilling arcs.Only the thunderous beating of drums was still roaring passionately above the battlefield.

Puqi's army was under the command of Han Dang. Although their morale was not high, they were all veterans who had experienced many battles. They were able to survive so many siege battles by the Shu Han army. All of them are definitely the elite among the elite.

There are even some of them who followed Han Dang and fled from Nanjun to Puqi.These people are even more surviving a catastrophe.If they can no longer be called veterans, then the vast majority of the Jiangdong Army can only be called recruits.

As a result, Zhang Fei's siege troops unexpectedly fell into an embarrassing situation and were strongly blocked by Pu Qi's troops.They couldn't easily break through the city for a while.

Originally, Zhang Fei's army had a lot of heavy siege equipment, and most of them were equipped in Zhang Bao's army, and came along with Zhang Bao's army.If a large number of these heavy equipment were used, it would not seem as difficult to capture Puqi City as it is now.

But Zhang Fei only used some of these heavy equipment symbolically, and did not use them as the main weapons.Of course Zhang Fei wasn't being stupid, or he wanted to maintain his self-esteem as a famous general.He has his own considerations.

If the Shu Han army used heavy equipment to break through the city, then after the city was broken, the entire city would probably only be left with broken walls.Well, this is not what Zhang Fei likes to see.Because Zhang Fei has now foreseen that in the future, this Puqi will inevitably play a very important role in the battle against Sun Jun's army, whether it is used as an annexed residence or used to hoard food and grass in the rear land.Therefore, he really didn't want to raze Puqi to the ground.

But with such a purpose, Zhang Fei must make the soldiers pay some price.

Therefore, Puqi City is temporarily in the palm of Zhang Fei.The battle in Puqi was at a stalemate. Of course, with Zhang Fei's current attack method, no matter how hard Han Dang carried it, he had no choice but to give up the city in the end.

And Sun Huan's army, which Han Dang was looking forward to, was still wandering slowly on the road at this time, as if he was afraid that no one would know that their chief general was always regarded as a bad-tempered and disorderly man when he was in Moling. Here comes the ruffian.

Then, Zhang Fei's news about Sun Huan's army, and the news that he had begun to lead the army to continue to attack Puqi City, were sent to Xiangtan as soon as possible.

In fact, Xiangtan is indeed a little far away from the front line where Zhang Fei is located. It seems that Liu Chan should move the camp away from here, or at least cross the Xiangshui River.But Liu Chan didn't do this. The reason is that the distance between Xiangtan and Puqi and Lukou Port is relatively moderate.If he had crossed the river, he would be too far away from Lukou Port, and it would be difficult for him to arrive in time for some urgent news.

Therefore, under balance, Liu Chan felt that it would be more appropriate to temporarily station in Xiangtan.

Then, because Liu Chan's side is a little closer to Puqi, Lukou Port has to travel by water, and then land on the south bank of Dongting Lake, and take the direction of Yiyang City to come to Xiangtan, so Liu Chan's side received it first. The news of Zhang Fei and the letter from Quan Cong and Shi Guangyuan also arrived.

At this time, Liu Chan has been paying attention to Guan Suo's battle in Shangyong.Although he has confidence in Guan Suo and Meng Da, at least Liu Feng has stayed in a place like Shangyong for many years.If a person stays away from the big world outside for too long, his eyesight will of course start to narrow.

Moreover, the overall situation of the world today is completely different from what Liu Feng participated in back then, and when Liu Bei started his business.Cao Wei's army has changed, not to mention the Jingzhou army. After a series of battles, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers has been greatly improved, and they have become an elite army.

In contrast, Liu Feng's army has been pampered in Shangyong for many years, and its combat effectiveness may have weakened a lot.

Furthermore, Guan Suo has been fighting against Cao Wei's famous generals in Xiangyang.Liu Feng has no intention of fighting now, and what he cares most about now is nothing more than how to fight for power and profit with Liu Chan.Such people have lost their military sensitivity.

Therefore, under such determination, Liu Chan is confident that Guan Suo can defeat Liu Feng and win Shangyong.In fact, Liu Chan's foresight is very reasonable. Guan Suo did not expend much effort to easily get rid of Liu Fei, who was still stuck in the old combat concept.

It's just that at this time, Guan Suo's victory has just come from Shangyong City.

Therefore, Zhang Fei and Lukougang's news about Sun Huan's dispatch of troops to Jiangxia County immediately diverted Liu Chan's attention.He had no choice but to refocus his attention on Sun Jun's army.

In fact, it should be said that since Liu Chan received the order from General Zuo's mansion to let the Shu Han army attack Jiangdong Moling, he has been making him murmur.The strength of the Jiangdong Army, after such a short combat command, doesn't Liu Chan know yet?So much so that now he couldn't help feeling a little bit of evasion in his heart.

Therefore, although Liu Chan recently summoned Yu Jin for discussion because of this matter, he has not responded to General Zuo's Mansion at all, let alone reported the next battle plan to the two chiefs of General Zuo's Mansion. official.

But Sun Zhen is indeed wise.He just let Sun Huan stop and eat, drink and have fun on the road, which has already put great pressure on Liu Chan who is far away in Xiangtan, forcing him to face the current severe situation.

However, things didn't seem to be as severe to him as Liu Chan thought in his heart.At least at this time, he suddenly realized that he was a little bit of a dead end.Now there are counselors under his command, there are strong generals, and even wise generals.

Because, among the letters sent by Shi Guangyuan and Quan Cong, a new set of battle plan was sent to Liu Chan, and it seemed to be more feasible.This saved Liu Chan a lot of brain power.

Therefore, Liu Chan was overjoyed, and immediately asked Zhao Feng to send someone to invite Yu Jin to discuss with him the feasibility of the new battle plan drawn up by Shi Guangyuan and Quan Cong.

Along the way, Yu Jin had already learned about Liu Chan's affairs from Bai Er's guard.He knew that the son's mood recently had been in worry.In fact, it would not be too difficult for the prince to ask the other party, Liu Feng, but the pressure of public opinion he will face in the future will definitely be the biggest trouble.

Moreover, the battle on the front line is now at a stalemate. According to the message sent back from General Zhang Fei, Sun Zhen has already begun to make some moves.The burden of these things is simply too great.Shi Zi had to bear so many things at such a young age, Yu Jin was really worried that he would not be able to withstand the pressure.

However, Shi Guangyuan and Quan Cong are not bad.These two people, one is a counselor and the other is a wise general, they complement each other perfectly, and finally helped the son relieve pressure once.

Therefore, after Yu Jin got the news of the summons, he rushed to Liu Chan's study immediately.

After Yu Jin saw Liu Chan, Liu Chan immediately gave the letter sent by Shi Guangyuan and Quan Cong to Yu Jin to read.After Yu Jin read it, he found that their new battle plan was actually based on the plan Quan Cong first asked Yu Jin to bring back to Liu Chan.

But that's really not a problem.The plan Quan Cong put forward at that time was indeed a very good plan. Liu Chan's battle plan, which has been re-enacted, was all based on it, to put it bluntly.

It's just that Quan Cong and Shi Guangyuan's plan this time actually cooperated with the latest order from General Zuo's mansion, and once again tried to encircle and wipe out the army in Sun Jun's hands.
