The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 283

Zhu Ran personally dismounted to help Sun Gao up, and dusted off the dirt on his body; "If you can make this great achievement, I promise to ask the king of Wu to make you a marquis."

Sun Gao thanked him for his kindness; "I will do my best to repay the general for not killing me. I will go to Shiting now, and the general will come after you. Hurry up."

Zhu Ran nodded and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, don't worry!"

Sun Gao turned around, with a sly look in his eyes, he quickly jumped on the back of a horse, and said worriedly: "General, don't forget your promise."

Zhu Ran said impatiently: "I can't forget it, I can't forget it, you go quickly." Sun Gao showed joy on his face, turned around and rode away.

Zhu Ran's army entered Wancheng, leaving General Zhai Dan to garrison with a thousand troops.Half an hour later, drive towards Shiting.In the evening, four or five miles away from the city tower, they heard the commotion in the city and urged the army to advance rapidly.When they arrived at the base of the city, they saw that Sun Gao and Yan Ming were standing on the top of the city in the dim light of the day, and they were dispatching troops to strengthen the defense.Sun Gao yelled at the city: "Zhu Ran, the dog thief, I am a general of Jin, how can I surrender Wu Gou, you have fallen into my trick."

Zhu Ran almost died of anger, and said in his heart, a shit trick, shameless thing.Pointing at Sun Gao, he cursed loudly: "You son of a bitch, be careful, if I catch you, I will definitely pluck your skin."

Yan Ming rolled his eyes at the side, and said carelessly: "Speak wildly, you can recognize my general Yan Ming, I advise you to get out of here, or I will catch you alive in a while."

Sun Gao laughed and scolded all eight generations of Zhu Ran's ancestors, dancing and singing on the top of the city.Sun Gao knew Zhu Ran before and knew his family's situation like the back of his hand. He scolded Zhu Ran's great-grandfather to his father, said that Zhu Ran's sister was ridden by him, and said that Zhu Ran's wife had an affair with him. wait--

The angry Zhu Ran sprayed white air from his nose, like a maddened bull.

"Siege."

Sun Gao and Yan Ming, these two shameless guys, are top-notch in cursing and insulting others, and they are far worse than Zhu Ran in fighting.The soldiers and equipment under them are not good either.After being beaten by Zhu Ran's 36 army, he was immediately defeated.In less than half an hour, the siege soldiers climbed up the city wall.Seeing that the situation was not right, Sun Gaoyan yelled and cursed for a while, and it was the best policy to take the [-] plan.

Zhu Ran was driven mad by these two boys, and there was no way for them to escape.Followed by two people and killed them from the west gate.Simon is the road leading to Anfeng.From Anfeng, you can go north to Runan, or return to Hefei.Sun Heng didn't see it well, if they let the two escape and report to Hefei, wouldn't it be a waste of all previous efforts.He ordered the whole army to pursue him closely.

The 21 army chased for more than [-] li, and gradually entered the mountainous area.Sun Gao and Yan Ming fled desperately along the mountain road with their grandfathers.Zhu Ran was so angry that he lost his mind, and chased after him regardless of [-].I thought, anyway, Yuan Bing's main force is not there, even if there is an ambush, it will not be able to deal with my [-] troops.

After chasing forward for more than ten miles, the mountain road became more and more steep, and abysses appeared on both sides. A mountain ridge lay in front of him, and only the small path was exposed on the left.

Sun Heng chased up from behind, panting, "Look, what's written on it?"

Zhu Ran followed Sun Heng's gestures and saw more than a dozen large characters written on the half-foot of the cliff, "Huache Ridge is a natural moat, birds are difficult to cross, and gods have no way."

Zhu Ran and Sun Heng knew about this trailer ridge.Their backs were drenched in cold sweat at the same time.Zhu Ran said in amazement: "How did you catch up to Huache Ridge? Not good, retreat quickly."

Sun Heng turned his horse's head and ordered the army to turn around.The soldiers stood on the mountain road with nervous expressions and trembling hearts, and they turned back immediately after hearing the order.Zhu Ran raised his head and looked at the black and cold rocks on the left and right of the cliffs over a thousand feet high, which made his heart rise to his throat.

Sun Heng cautiously pressed the front team and quickly retreated ten miles, his drumming heart finally calmed down.He took a deep breath.Fortunately, Yuan Bing had no generals and was not in ambush at the place just now.If the road is blocked with firewood in such a dangerous situation, don't expect a single person to survive.

In another three to five miles, we can get out of this precipitous section.Suddenly, a spy came to report: "The Jiashi entrance in front is blocked by firewood and cannot pass through."

"Jiashikou?" Sun Heng repeated, feeling like he was falling into a cellar of ice.Jiashikou and Huacheling are the most dangerous places in the buried hills along the Shiting line in the west of Chaohu Lake [historical data, the battle of Shiting in Wu and Wei Dynasties took place here].It is said that there is a saying that one man is in charge of the gate and ten thousand husbands cannot open it.Sun Heng had heard of it before, but he had never seen it or been to it.He understood that he had fallen into the trick of Sun Gao and Yan Ming to lure the enemy.At this moment, it has entered dozens of miles of dangerous fortresses.The ambush is outside, the road is blocked inside, and there is a dead end.

Zhu Ran, who was at the back of the formation, saw the army stop and had a premonition that something was wrong, so he hurried over and asked about the situation, he was immediately dumbfounded.Yuan Jun didn't fight him at all, but sent people to close the dangerous valley entrances at both ends.Let 3 people have nowhere to go.In a few days, they will starve to death.The most frightening thing is that Zhu Ran and Sun Heng went deep alone, without reinforcements, and could not open the way from the outside.

Zhu Ran gritted his teeth: "This is the end of the matter, first go to Jiashikou to meet General Yuan Bing and see if there is a chance to break through." Ambushing at Jiashikou were Xu Huang's [-] infantry.He waited here for a day, and the soldiers cut down almost all the dead branches and firewood on the nearby hills, and bundled them into balls.As soon as the Soochow soldiers passed by, they threw them down from a high place and completely sealed off the already narrow mountain road.

Zhu Ran took a look and knew he was done.There are only two paths left.surrender, or die.To die, you can choose to be burned to death or starved to death.Sun Heng is a close relative of King Wu and will never surrender.

Xu Huang stood on the foot of the high mountain with a sneer, and ordered the crossbowmen to stand ready.He went back to sleep, his mission was to siege, not to fight.Xun Yu said it well: "Even if it is surrender, let's talk about it three days later."

The mountains were empty and silent, and the soldiers of the Wu army turned into frogs sitting in a well watching the sky.Call every day should not, call the land not working.The cold wind in the open space is like a magic hand that shakes the heartstrings, arousing terror in everyone's hearts.

Zhu Ran saw the archers at the foot of the mountain, and shouted loudly: "Who is it? That bastard bastard set up such a poisonous plan, get out of here, let's fight with swords and guns—" The valley echoed, shaking Eardrums buzzing.No one paid him any attention.

Xu Huang lay on a rock as smooth as a mirror, closed his eyes and meditated, wondering if Liu Ye and Master Xun Yu had already started crossing the river.

Jiangdu troops were divided into three groups to cross the river.Zhao Zilong is in front, Xun Yu is in the middle, and brothers Zhong Jin and Zhong Shen are behind.

Zhao Yun's vanguard of [-] infantry had already crossed the dangerous shoal by boat at noon, and set down the village [-] miles outside Jingkou City, facing the pass of 'Beigu Mountain'.

Because Zhu Ran and Sun Heng did not light the beacon tower, an alarm signal was issued.The Jiangdu army crossed the river too fast.Lu Qian and Sun Ben were all kept in the dark.The riverside is unguarded.

Xun Yu's army in the middle is all cavalry.Forty thousand in total.The troops began to cross the river at noon, and two hours later, they all set sail.

Xun Yu stood at the bow of the boat, stroking his short beard, his blood boiled with excitement for a moment.It has been almost 14 years since the beginning of the war.Finally, I have the opportunity to set foot on the land of Wu State and complete the dream of reunification.As far as the eye can see, on both sides of the Yangtze River, there are rocky mountains, cliffs and cliffs plunging into the sky, and the stormy waves are surging under the feet, and the waves and water swirls roll and jump.

How many heroes have been wiped out by the waves in the rolling waters of the Yangtze River? !

As the warships entered Jingkou, Jinshan and Jiaoshan stood tall in the river, looking like gates of a country.The river is open, the water and the sky meet, boats and boats line up, masts and sculls connect to the clouds, and the banners on the head of Jingkou city sweep the world.There are lone clouds in the sky, coming and going like the wind, flowing eastward with the river into the sea.

Xun Yu couldn't help sighing: "Jingkou's reputation as the 'No. [-] country in the world' really lives up to its reputation!"

Cross the shore, abandon the boat and land.Zhao Yun sent someone to meet him.The cavalry set up Zhaishan on the right side of the infantry.Lu Qian and Sun Ben discovered the enemy at this time, and hurriedly dispatched general Han Zong to command [-] cavalry to meet the enemy at Beigu Mountain.

Han Zong didn't expect the Huainan army to be so fast, he thought it was a small army, and rushed forward underestimating the enemy, and went out to fight.In the end, he was picked off by Zhao Yun with a single shot.The soldiers and horses fled back to Jingkou in embarrassment.

The next day, Sun Ben sent Xiao generals Hao Zhou, Zheng Quan, Zhu Huan, and Jin Zong to meet the enemy.At this time, Zhao Yun had commanded the vanguard cavalry, and went south to Beigu Mountain, less than a hundred miles away from Jingkou.

The two armies faced each other, Huainan generals Peng Qi and Sun Lang were successively beheaded by Wu Guozuo general Zhu Heng.Zhao Zilong showed his supernatural power and stabbed Zhu Huan to death with one shot.Hao Zhou, Zheng Quan, and Jin Zong besieged Zhao Yun. Within ten moves, Hao Zhou and Zheng Quan were all killed.Jinzong was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy.Zhao Yun surrendered a total of [-] to [-] troops and marched towards Jingkou.

While Sun Ben was in a hurry to Wujun, he sent generals Sun Bu, Zhou He, and Pei Qian to command [-] cavalry to distance the enemy.In view of the lessons learned from the previous two times, the three of them did not dare to challenge Zhao Yun, and only set up a strong camp in the middle of the official road, and they could not hold out.This was Cheng Yu's idea. After Sima Yi wiped out the main force of Yuan Jun on the river, he would counterattack.

at the same time:

Liu Ye, Lei Xu, Chen Lan, and Lei Bo came out of Ruxu with fifty thousand soldiers and went straight down the Yangtze River by boat.Scramble to cross Caishiji.Because Wu Jiang Shende was solved by the way on the way.Therefore, one step too late, Wu Jun was prepared.Zhu Zhi and Du Xi led the water army to guard the south bank, and Liu Ye's army was unable to land for a while.into a bitter struggle.

Sun Fu put all his belongings on this blocking battle.The most elite soldiers and equipment of Stone City are concentrated on the river bank.A total of 6 people, 60 infantry, and 2 crossbowmen.There are [-] warships, [-] catapult machines, [-] water ghost troops, and [-] to [-] officers above Yamen.However, Sun Fu, the general in charge, was confused by Liu Ye's tactics of attacking the west. He believed that the Huainan Army would land at the "Qinhuai River Estuary", so he arranged the main force at the Qinhuai River Estuary, while the other landing point "Jiantan" had only [-] troops. People stick to it, and there are three hundred warships.

Even so, landing amphibious operations from the water is still very tricky.Liu Ye didn't dare to be careless, he wanted to choose a fine weather with calm seas to charge.According to the sky, Liu Ye chose to cross Caishiji on the fifth day after Zhao Yun landed.

The military meeting held on the eve of the landing decided that Lei Xu and Lei Bo would each lead a brigade of 1 people to land and fight, and Chen Lan, Fu Ying, and the fleet would support them in the river.Le Shuai had 1 people behind him, and when Lei Xu came ashore, he immediately sent reinforcements.Liu Ye also took out his money.The north bank of the river was almost full: they were [-] warships, carrying [-] small landing boats, [-] flying shuttle ballistas, [-] catapults, and [-] arrow defense vehicles. And the toad car, as well as the first batch of [-] soldiers who landed.

The people were concentrated, but cumulonimbus clouds gradually gathered over the Dajiang Canyon, and they gradually approached with a strong airflow.Looking up at the sky, Liu Ye said sadly: "This time, I really resigned myself to fate."

The weather is not good, and the storm is coming.On the warships moored at Jiangkou, people were turned upside down, and a large number of people were seasick before they set off.The white waves on the river are turbulent, the wind is howling, the clouds are densely covered and low hanging, and the other side of the vast sky and sea, where the mist hangs low, is the long-awaited "Stone City".

Before the landing troops, [-] special forces had secretly dived across the river and lurked in the hilly area on the bank. Their mission was to assist the attacking troops to establish a landing point on the south bank.Due to the bad weather, Wu Jun's patrol boats did not go out of the river, so Sun Fu didn't even notice that a huge fleet was coming towards him.

After dawn, [-] warships approached the shore, and suddenly bombarded the [-]-foot-long "Sword Beach" fortress guarded by the Wu army with stone launchers and giant crossbows.Under the cover of fierce artillery fire, the Huainan Army landed on the south bank of Caishiji. Due to the strong wind and waves, the initial landing operation was chaotic.Many warships either hit the rocks, ran aground, or were knocked down by Wu Jun's artillery fire, and could not move.

Sun Fu was greatly surprised by Liu Ye's attack and insisted that Liu Ye was an out-and-out idiot.Could such bad weather make landfall?

The fifty-foot-long sandy beach is not all flat land, Lei Xu's landing point is a cliff.Due to the strong wind and waves, the landing ships could not dock, so they could only use sampans to transport troops. The Wu army climbed the cliff first, occupied the dangerous position, condescendingly activated the catapult machine, and organized archers to shoot.Lei Xu's army drowned a lot on the bumpy sampan, some were killed by flying stones, and the remaining six to seven thousand people were killed on the shore, but they couldn't hold on.He could only passively hide among the rocks and rocks on the bank and deal with Wu Jun.

The strength of the special forces was revealed at this time. They climbed the cliff as nimbly as apes, rolled and shot arrows, and silently inserted their daggers into the chests of Wu Jun's crossbowmen on the cliff.An hour later, the special forces successfully captured three catapult machines, and began to bombard the crossbowmen of the Wu Army who were on the same plane.Lei Xu's troops took the opportunity to take a small step forward, but it was still very pitiful.

Lei Bo was even worse. What he faced was the enemy's frontal artillery fire. Although he received strong fire support from the warships in the middle of the river, he still suffered two-fifths of heavy casualties.

Big waves, morning fog, coupled with gunpowder smoke and strong river winds exhausted the troops, and they were attacked by enemy artillery stones when they landed.For a time, dead and wounded soldiers filled the river bank.Liu Ye made a decisive decision and asked the warships in the river to bombard the Wu army's artillery group and firepower points at close range, risking killing and injuring their own people.After Lei Xu and Chen Lan's arduous and bloody battle, they finally occupied a beachhead less than two miles deep.In the evening of that day, the Huainan Army had established a firm foothold on the south bank of the Yangtze River.Nearly a division of troops landed on the shore together with stone launchers, arrow blockers and other weapons, and follow-up troops also came in a steady stream, constantly expanding the Huainan Army's advantage over the defenders.

Zhu Zhi and Du Xi led the remnant soldiers who had suffered heavy losses and continued to stand firm, but they could no longer resist Yuan Bing, who was invincible.Following the cavalry regiment that came ashore, they completely destroyed Wu Jun's beachhead defense system, and Wu Jun was defeated like a mountain.Du Xi died immediately among the rebellious army.Zhu Zhi fled back to Stone City with two thousand remnants.

Liu Ye's landing plan was successful.
