Chapter 8 The Battle of Jingzhou!

At noon time.

When the 30,000 reinforcements brought by Guan Feng arrived, Zhao Futu immediately made a decision.

He ordered Huawan to lead 10,000 remnants to garrison in Yong'an, and at the same time take the injured Mrs. Zhu Rong back to recuperate. He himself led 24,000 troops to Jingnan to attack Jin Xuan who occupied Wuling. In order to prevent Liu Bei's army from being

To cut off the retreat, he asked Guan Feng to leave 6,000 elite troops to garrison Jiangjin. It would be best to support him until he captured Wuling.

If the enemy force is strong, Guan Feng can also withdraw to Yong'an territory first.

Huang Zhong has been defeated by Zhao Futu. Although the army brought by Jiang Wei exceeds 10,000 people, it is only enough to garrison Jiangling. Without guessing Zhao Futu's next move, he will never dare to attack rashly to prevent Jiangling from fighting again.

It would take at least one day for the troops from Xiangyang to arrive before they were captured. Unless Zhuge Liang came in person, Zhao Futu still had one and a half days to prepare.

"Cross the river!"

Zhao Futu abandoned all his cavalry and advanced with only his infantry.

There are ships near Jiangjin, and the recruitment ability of Nightmare Space is definitely the best. It only took him half a day to send all the soldiers to the Jingnan area. The governor of Wuling is Jin Xuan, who has 30,000 troops under his command, as well as many

A second- and third-rate historical general. However, Xu Shu had attacked Wuling once before. Although he failed to capture Wuling, it greatly weakened Jin Xuan's strength.

Wuling now has about 20,000 troops. In addition to Jin Xuan, there are also several historical generals, including Wang Ye, Zuo Yi, Zhang Nan, Liao Li, Tan Xiong, etc.

In addition to Jin Xuan, there is another force in Wuling, and that is the wandering military general Samoko.

This historical military general's personal force was between the middle and upper ranks of second-rate military generals. He was the king of the barbarians in Wuxi, but he was active around here for some unknown reason. Samoko had four to five thousand men under his command, and they were occasionally active near Dongting Lake.

He would plunder some villages. It is said that Zhuge Liang also tried to recruit him, but failed. Barbarian generals are generally not easy to recruit.

………………

at the same time.

On the way from Xiangyang to Jiangling, an army was marching quickly.

There was a rapid sound of horse hooves in the distance, and then a messenger rushed off his horse and shouted: "Report! Military advisor! Lord Jiang Wei has recaptured Jiangling City!"

Jiangling has been recaptured?

Zhuge Liang, who was wearing a feather fan scarf, couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face. He didn't expect Jiang Wei to take back Jiangling so quickly. As far as he knew, Zhao Futu, who had risen in the Yunnan area of ​​​​Sichuan, had a strong army and had more than ten men under his command.

Although Wan Dajun has no famous generals, if they mobilize enough troops, it will not be easy for them to recapture Jiangling.

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan gently, then silently counted with his fingers, his face changed slightly and he said: "Not good!"

"I'm afraid there will be changes in Jingnan!"

"Where is Huang Zhong?"

As soon as he finished speaking, another messenger rushed over from the front and shouted: "Strategy! General Huang Zhong is defeated! Gan Ning of the Jinfan thieves sneak attacked Wulin! Wulin has been captured by Jiangdong Army.

!”

——"[divine calculation]?!"

Zhuge Liang's eyes burst with light. Then he looked up at the sky, calculating quickly with his fingers, and his face gradually became ugly.

After a while.

He just came back to his senses and ordered in a deep voice: "Immediately order Guan Yu to attack! Lead an army of 6,000 elite troops to capture Xiakou!"

"Inform the lord to lead the army to reinforce Hanjin, and Zilong can be the vanguard!"

"The whole army will follow me to recapture Wulin!"

A series of orders were issued, and after Zhuge Liang counted them, his face turned a little pale. He looked far away in the direction of Jingnan and murmured: "As long as you give me three days, I can send troops to capture Wuling."

"I hope Tianshi will be on my side this time!"

Immediately, he turned around and said to a Confucian general behind him: "Yi Ji! Whether you can capture Jingnan this time depends on whether you can recruit Wei Yan!"

"Gan Ning and the Jinfan thieves under his command have been surrendered by Sun Quan. If we want to contain them, our military strength is still inferior! Although I have the ability of divine calculation, I cannot calculate the movements of Zhao Futu. The only way is to take precautions.

Only then will we be able to seize the opportunity!"

The Confucian general on the side nodded silently, and then said: "Don't worry, military advisor!"

"From now on, I will do my best to persuade Wei Yan to surrender!"

………………

"Uncle Gan Ning is here!"

"Who dares to fight with me!"

Amidst the shouts, Jinfan thieves poured into Wulin in large numbers. The leader was a heroic general who broke out of the formation with a single sword. It can be said that he was extremely brave! Under his leadership.

The sail thieves' morale was high, and they successively broke through Liu Bei's strongholds and approached the front line of Jiangling. Behind them were groups of halberd soldiers, and their commander was Sun Ce, known as the little overlord of Jiangdong!

Zhou Yu's figure also appeared near Wulin Port. He looked in the direction of Xiangyang with a smile and said softly: "Do you think it is Jiangxia that I want to capture?"

"The population of Jiangxia is poor, so what's the use of taking it?"

"What I really want is Jiangling and Xiangyang, but I don't know if you have considered my plan this time?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu's face turned slightly ferocious.

at the same time.

Near the Hanjin port, groups of Soochow ships approached. The Jiangdong Navy easily defeated the Xiangyang Navy near Hanjin and invaded the port stronghold.

"Zhou Tai is here!"

"My sons! Follow me and take this place!"

A general from Soochow took the lead and led his personal guards to attack the port.

Behind him, more Soochow troops began to land, and Lu Xun's figure also appeared at the rear of the army.

but.

Compared to Zhou Yu's complacency, Lu Xun's face looked a little worried.

He looked in the direction of Xiangyang and murmured: "Although we successfully captured Wulin and Hanjin, Liu Beijun's headquarters has not been moved! There are still peerless generals like Zhao Zilong in Xiangyang. I hope Gong Jin will not underestimate the enemy and rush in."

!”

"When the reinforcements led by the lord arrive, the overall situation will be decided!"

this day.

Just when Zhao Futu abandoned Jiangling and attacked Wuling, Sun Jian's army also launched a major counterattack.

However, their target was not Jiangxia. Sun Quan and others who were active near Jiangxia were just a cover to confuse Zhuge Liang. The real elite troops of the Soochow Army had already set off from Changsha to attack Wulin. At the same time, Gan Ning and others had been secretly recruited by Zhou Yu.

He also led the Jinfan bandits to send out troops and attacked unstoppably all the way to the outside of Jiangling.

Gan Ning, Zhou Yu, Sun Ce, Lu Su, Han Dang, Huang Gai and others led an army of 30,000 to attack Jiangling!

at the same time.

Near the port of Hanjin, Zhou Tai, Ling Tong, Ling Cao, Cheng Pu, Zu Mao and other generals led 25,000 troops and approached Xiangyang. Sun Quan, Lu Meng, Lu Kang, Zhuge Jin and others from Jiujiang also led 15,000 troops.

Thousands of men and horses are approaching Xiakou to block any reinforcements that may be sent from Jiangxia. The Soochow Army has an army of 80,000, with almost all the fierce generals coming out. They will not give up until Jiangling and Xiangyang are captured!

………………

Zhao Futu's plan to form an alliance is still a bit wishful thinking.

When he received information about the all-out attack by the Soochow Army, he was immediately taken aback by Zhou Yu's boldness.

The Soochow Army only had about 100,000 troops. This time it was almost overwhelming. It is estimated that the total number of defenders in Changsha, Chaisang, and Jianye was not more than 20,000. If any of the defense lines were occupied

If Liu Bei breaks through, then their old nest may not be retaliated. Besides, there are Wang Lang, Yuan Shu, Yan Baihu and others behind him. I don’t know why he dares to take such a risk to break through!

Almost all of Sun Jian, Sun Ce, Sun Quan and his son were dispatched.

The famous generals of Soochow also launched a strong counterattack, including Lu Xun, Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, Lu Su, Zhuge Jin and other wise generals.

After Zhao Futu confirmed the movements of the troops from all walks of life, he even had the idea of ​​​​attacking Chai Sang. However, he finally suppressed the idea. Since Zhou Yu fought such a desperate battle, there must be back-up arrangements.

, it is difficult for his troops to hide it from the Changsha army. It is better to defeat Wuling honestly first. If we can capture Jingnan, we can send troops to approach Chaisang at any time.

the next day.

While Zhao Futu led his army to besiege Wuling, a battle broke out in the Jingzhou area.

Sun Jian led his army from Hanjin to Xiangyang, cutting off the retreat between Xiangyang and Jiangling. Zhou Tai, Ling Tong, and Ling Cao fought a battle with Zhao Yun. Although Zhao Yun was a peerless general, he was facing many enemies.

Although he was a first-rate general, he did not gain any advantage at all. Especially the Soochow Army also had Lu Xun, who was known for his caution, and he saw through their ambush plan.

The other side.

Near Jiangling, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang also had a confrontation between top wise generals!

Zhuge Liang's [Divine Calculation] is on par with Zhou Yu's [God of Fire]. In this plot plane, the two have personal combat capabilities that are not weaker than those of first-class generals. The Jinfan thieves led by Gan Ning defeated Jiang Wei's army.

With the cooperation of Sun Ce, Jiang Wei was seriously injured in a battle. However, the strength of Liu Beijun should not be underestimated, especially when the commander-in-chief was still Zhuge Liang.

Although the Soochow Army had a certain advantage, one of its generals, Huang Gai, was designed to be killed by Zhuge Liang!

Huang Gai died in battle!

Wang Ping was beheaded!

Han Dang died in battle!

Guan Tong was killed!

In this confrontation between Jiangdong Army and Liu Bei Army, historical heroes fell one after another.

At the same time, near Xiakou, Lu Meng, Sun Quan, and Zhuge Jin also fought with Guan Yu, Pang Tong, Ma Liang, and others from Jiangxia. The Jiangdong Army relied on its powerful naval superiority to successfully prevent Guan Yu from rescuing Xiangyang. Now the only way to support Xiangyang was

There are only 30,000 troops stationed in Xinye under Zhang Fei. However, once Zhang Fei mobilizes his troops, it is very likely that Cao Cao will attack Xuchang.

No matter from which perspective, Liu Beijun is now in a dilemma!
