Seven hundred and seventieth chapters behind a knife
As Zhou Yu expected, Gao Shun's alliance with the Eastern Wu declined, so he agreed to accept the food and grass support from the Eastern Wu. The chapter is updated the fastest
When the news came back to Chaisang, hundreds of large ships had already been prepared, not loading food, but only elite soldiers of Dongwu, and set their anchors and sails to look at Jiangxia.
On the surface, the Eastern Wu fleet only took the banner of Xu Sheng.
Secretly, there were six generals of the Grand Commander Zhou Yu, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Han Dang, Ding Feng, Chen Wu and Pan Zhang. A hundred large ships each had 500 soldiers, and a total of 50,000 troops were waiting for the battle, and they vowed to capture Jiangxia County in one fell swoop.
On the night of May 28, the ship arrived at Jiangxia Port.
When the defenders in the port interrogated, Xu Sheng replied: "I am the grain transport official of the Eastern Wu, and escorted the grain and grass up the river and sent it to General Gao's camp."
The defending officers sent people to board the ships to inspect. Sure enough, he saw that the cabin was full of food, so he did not suspect that there was him and ordered Xu Sheng to enter the port to spend the night. However, he knew that there was only a thin layer of food and grass, and there was a deck under it, and under the deck were elite soldiers who were ambushing Dongwu.
After entering Hong Kong, there was no Qin army surveillance.
Zhou Yu then called each general to come out and ordered specific matters.
He first sent someone to report to the Shu army that was ambushing outside Jiangling, saying that at dawn, there would be defeated soldiers disguised as Eastern Wu to lead out of Jiangling defenders. If it succeeds, the Shu people could take the opportunity to seize Jiangling. He also ordered the generals to prepare. After late at night, they took action to seize Jiangxia port first.
At the second update of the night, everything was silent, and a hundred ships of Eastern Wu soldiers came out together.
The shouts of killing disappeared without a trace in just a few breaths. The Qin soldiers in the port did not expect that their allies would stab in the back. In addition, there were 50,000 soldiers from the Eastern Wu, so they could not resist them. They were captured one by one.
Zhou Yu counted and captured 326 Qin troops. He found a list of flowers again. After careful examination, he found that no Qin soldiers had left. He was overjoyed and secretly called for help from heaven.
Jiangxia Port, Qin army barracks, Zhou Yu gathered in generals.
Jiang Qin said, "Grandmaster, everything goes well. But how can we trick Jiangxia city gate?"
The Grand Governor Zhou Yu smiled elegantly and said, "With this officer from Jiangxia Port, the defenders in Jiangxia City will definitely not doubt that they will have him. They will open the city gate. Xu Sheng, if you bring that officer to me, I will tell him."
After a while, Qin army officers brought him there.
Zhou Yu put down the roster, walked down, and smiled and said, "Release..." and asked again, "You are He Ming, right?"
Qin army officer He Ming stood up after taking off his restraints, turned his head and ignored Zhou Yu. He was surrounded by generals of Eastern Wu and was not afraid.
Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said, "He Ming, you should have been executed. But as long as you help me deceive Jiangxia City, you can not only survive. Good land, official positions, and whatever you want. I can give you." When he said this, he looked at He Ming proudly. In his opinion, no one would choose to die in the face of death and wealth.
However.
He Ming glared and shouted: "Our Qin army only has warriors who have made meritorious contributions to kill the enemy. There are no cowards who surrender! And you, Dongwu, only despicable villains who have betrayed the alliance. Bah!"
A mouthful of thick phlegm slid from Zhou Yu's forehead to the corner of his mouth, and there was a faint salty smell.
How could the elegant governor endure such humiliation? He drew out his sword with a clang, "I have killed you, who is ignorant of the current affairs..."
Unexpectedly, He Ming, who was unrestrained, tried hard to punch.
With a sound of bang, he rushed into the front of the Grand Commander.
"Wow!" Zhou Yu's sword was also thrown away, and he was knocked to the ground in an instant, and he rumbled twice.
"Grandmaster!" The generals of the Eastern Wu hurriedly helped him in horror.
Zhou Tai was furious, and the Wu generals knocked He Ming to the ground with three punches and two kicks, "Drag them out and behead them!"
"Slow...slow, drag it out and beat it halfway, don't kill it!" Zhou Yu stood up and shouted hurriedly.
The generals of the Eastern Wu looked at each other, thinking that the Grand Governor had been spit out, and he didn't kill this person. Isn't the Grand Governor's elegant temper?
Zhou Yu wiped his elegant face, endured the smell of spitting on his face, and said in front of him: "This person needs to stay and trick him into opening the city gate."
The generals of the Eastern Wu were stunned and thought to themselves that they were not afraid of death. Why did you use to deceive others into opening their own city gate?
Zhou Yu recovered a little and smiled elegantly: "Qin Zijin used Xiahou Yuan to trick Luoyang City, but now the Japanese governor uses his own way and gives him his own way."
The generals of the Eastern Wu suddenly realized and said, "Grandmaster, you are a good plan!"
So, Zhou Yu ordered Chen Wu to bring one hundred people, wear Qin army clothes, carry one hundred Qin soldiers, and quickly go to Jiangling to trick the defenders in the city.
On the other hand, he personally led 50,000 Eastern Wu soldiers and drove straight into the city of Jiangxia.
It was late at night, and Zhou Yu only brought 200 soldiers to hold more than 100 Qin troops, including He Ming and others, and called the gate under the city, and exclaimed that there was a sneak attack by the Shu army. He pushed out the Qin soldiers and others, and asked the defenders on the city to see him. He Ming was exhausted and was stuffed with Mahu in his mouth.
The defenders in Jiangxia City, He Ming and others, recognized them in the same army. They were shocked and did not suspect that they were, so they immediately opened the city gate.
The Eastern Wu soldiers were shouting and rushed in. They saw the Qin army and killed them. They raised fire at the city gate as a clamor.
Subsequently, seven generals Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Han Dang, Ding Feng, Chen Wu, Pan Zhang and Xu Sheng led 50,000 Eastern Wu soldiers into the crowd.
At that time, there were only five thousand Qin troops in Jiangxia City. The guard general Wen Pin, Huang Zu and others fought back, but the strength of the enemy and us was very different. Huang Zu was killed by Zhou Tai, the general of the Eastern Wu, and Wen Pin only brought dozens of personal guards and left in Jiangling.
Zhou Yu received Jiangxia and ordered the entire army not to disturb the people. Those who violated the order were killed without mercy. He quickly sent people to report to Chaisang. On the one hand, he divided his troops to capture other counties in Jiangxia, and was stationed in Jiangxia waiting for news about Jiangling. If Jiangling was captured by Liu Bei, Zhou Yu would follow the pre-plan to command the army to capture the four counties in southern Jingzhou.
on the other hand.
Chen Wu pretended to be the Qin army and successfully deceived Jiangling's defenders. Qin general Zang Ba heard that Jiangxia had something to do, so he led the army to rescue him.
After Guan Yu discovered that all the defenders of Jiangling were out, he took Zhang Fei and Shamoke to seize Jiangling.
Zang Ba met Wen Pin halfway and realized the truth. The two regretted not falling, but their allies suddenly turned against each other, and they had no choice but to join together and go to the Gaoshun Army in Wushan.
At this point, Guan Yu captured Jiangling and went deep into the hinterland of Jingzhou. The hinterland of Jingzhou was almost no longer protected by Qin troops. Guan Yu ordered Zhang Fei to stay in Jiangling, and he led his troops to attack Xiangyang again.
After Zhou Yu received the news, he quickly gathered troops and began to conquer the four counties in southern Jingzhou.
...
A day later, on the side of the Qin army in Wushan, there was a large tent of the central army.
"What! Jiangling, Jiang Xia is all lost!" Gao Shun suddenly stood up and looked at Zang Ba and Wen Pin kneeling on the ground in the tent, his face full of shock.
The generals of the army, Ji Ling, Zhou Cang, advisers Yi Ji and Han Song were also shocked.
"General, we are guilty. The grain ships transported by the Eastern Wu were all ambushed soldiers. The Allied forces of the Eastern Wu fought back and we were caught off guard." Zang Ba, Wen Pin bowed.
Gao Shun's face turned pale in an instant, and she sat back on the coaching position with powerlessness, "It's my fault, my fault..."
Jiangling and Jiangxia were lost, but it can be said that the army had no rear, but became an isolated army that penetrated deep into the enemy's territory.
"I thought that Sun Ce's heroic men said they sent troops to aid and sent food and grass to provide support, but I didn't expect..."
The adviser Yi Ji was also panicked and said, "This is not the general's crime. It is actually caused by the Eastern Wu's betrayal."
Staff member Han Song said, "Now Jiangling has been lost, and the army has lost its rear. If it is surrounded by the enemy, the army will be destroyed. General. Please retreat as soon as possible."
In fact, we can't blame Gao Shun. Who would have thought that the close allies in the past would suddenly have a knife behind the scenes. At the same time, Zhou Yu and others' plans were also fierce, hiding soldiers on the ship, causing the Qin army's scouts to fail.
"The entire army retreated?" Now that things have come to this, Gao Shun had no choice but to retreat.
At this time, a personal guard panicked and said, "General, the Shu soldiers are coming out in full bloom, and they are already five miles away at this moment."
Yiji hurriedly said, "General, this must be because the enemy wants to hold our army. Please make a decision quickly."
Gao Shun recovered a little and said in a deep voice: "When our army retreats, the enemy will definitely chase after you. Ji Ling, Zhou Cang, you two will lead the army to retreat immediately. I personally lead the 20,000 troops in the palace..."
Zang Ba, Wen Pin said, "General, we are willing to give up and fight to the death and block the enemy!"
"You two are with me..."
Staff Yi Ji hurriedly said, "General, when we arrived in Wushan, in order to prevent the Shu army from breaking through, our army's more than 20 camps were all in the main road to form more than 20 defense lines. Now we can use tinder oil and other objects to ignite the big camp to block the enemy, so we don't have to take risks."
Gao obeyed his words and ordered the soldiers to spread fire-burning objects in each battalion to burn them before blocking the enemy.
When the Qin army began to retreat, dust from the west covered the sky and the sun. When it was gone, 300,000 Shu soldiers arrived.
Gao Shun only brought five thousand soldiers out of the camp to form a formation.
In front of the Shu army, Liu Bei was proud and swung the ear that pissed the Tathagata Buddha to death. He pointed his sword over and shouted: "Gao Shun, it's not that easy for you to escape."
Gao Shun found Zhuge Liang riding a horse beside Liu Bei. He looked coldly and said, "Liu Xuande, if you were not the Eastern Wu Alliance, how could you let go here?"
"Bastard!" Liu Bei was furious and shouted: "Who will take this person's life for me!"
"I will be willing to go..."
Everyone looked at it and saw that it was Dr. Ren, the general of Shu.
Gao Shun's anger was all in his heart. He looked at the enemy's future and rode his horse out quickly. With a loud clang, he killed Doctor Ren and his horse off with just one move.
Liu Bei became even more angry and thought that he would win a great victory immediately. This death of a general was simply in vain.
"Don't be rampant, Yan Yan is here!" I saw Yan Yan, the general in Shu, waved his sword and came out.
When Gao Shunzheng said that when the war was again, Yi Ji in the camp behind him shouted: "General, if you don't leave now, when will you wait!"
So Gao Shun sent a horse and led a large army to retreat into the village.
Liu Bei was furious and rushed his army to cover the killing. Unexpectedly, the Qin army's village suddenly caught fire, blocking his way.
It was estimated that half an hour later, the fire was extinguished, and when Liu Bei rushed to the next camp, there was a huge fire again. Since the Qin army camps were all in the main camps, more than 20 camps ignited fires to stop the enemy in turn, dragging Liu Bei's army for more than a day.
On the way to retreat, when Gao Shun heard Xiangyang was defeated by Guan Yu, he scolded Dongwu for being despicable and shameless. Sun Ce was not a hero, so he wanted to commit suicide by wielding his sword to apologize to the King of Qin. Fortunately, Ji Ling and others stopped him, and the generals rushed Gao Shun and led 150,000 Qin troops across the river and into Fancheng to think about their strategies to fight the enemy.
Although the Eastern Wu had a knife behind the scenes and the Jingzhou battle failed, fortunately, the main force of the Qin army in Jingzhou retreated smoothly. At this point, Gao Shun temporarily stopped committing suicide and was very happy to defend in Fancheng. On the other hand, he sent someone to report to Qin Feng's army to tell the story of the fact that the Eastern Wu had lost most of the alliance with Jingzhou. (To be continued...)
