Chapter 69: Another broken arm(1/2)
Just waiting for Lu Su to reply.
The scouts rushing downstream from the Xiakou military camp have arrived, bringing with them the crisis from that side.
As soon as this statement came out.
All the generals in the big tent looked sideways and their expressions changed drastically.
"What?"
"Xiakou was attacked by the Jingzhou Army. How could it be like this?"
"This place is a transportation hub that guards the Jingxiang water and land route, and it is also a barrier for our army to defend Jiangdong. If this place is lost, the consequences will be disastrous!"
In this brief moment, the generals were talking to each other one by one.
It all points out the importance of Xiakou to our side.
How could Sun Quan not know about this?
He couldn't help but think of what Lu Su said just now.
"Zijing, do you have any plan to deal with it now?"
In the critical moment, Sun Quan still stared at Lu Su closely, and then asked him.
Place your hopes on this veteran minister who has been working hard to plan for you.
After hearing this, Lu Su's expression did not change, and he responded with his hands and arms as usual with a serious expression: "My lord, considering the scale of Jingzhou's military strength, there are approximately more than 20,000 tribesmen who are currently aggressively attacking our Lukou camp."
"As well as Lu Ziming and his troops confronting the Jingzhou army in Guiyang, and Guan Yu's dealings with Cao's army on the northern front."
"Su's preliminary estimate is that the number of people attacking Xiakou at the moment should only be a few thousand!"
When the words came to this point, he changed the topic and said in a deep voice: "Therefore, Su thought that he only needed to send a general and a partial division to assist in the defense to ensure that Xiakou was safe."
"As for the Jingzhou Army attacking from the front, there is nothing to be afraid of. On the contrary, Xiakou cannot afford to lose anything!"
"If Xiakou is lost, not only the hinterland of Jiangdong will be directly threatened, but Chibi, Fankou, and Lukou will also face the loss of defense."
A series of words fell down.
Sun Quan naturally realized the seriousness of the incident.
He raised his head and scanned the generals for a week.
Finally, he fixed his gaze on Pan Zhang.
"Wen Gui, I wonder if you could bring one of them to Xiakou to assist in the defense to ensure that nothing is lost?"
After saying this, Sun Quan's eyes still showed his respect for him.
Although he was previously punished by Lü Meng for looting and was sent back to Lukou.
However, Sun Quan had been very close to him in his early years, so he couldn't bear to blame him, so he symbolically demoted him as punishment.
In one word.
Looking at Sun Quan's expression, Pan Zhang instantly understood that this was an opportunity for him to make meritorious deeds so that he could be reinstated.
"The general is willing to bring reinforcements to ensure the safety of Xiakou!"
Thinking of this, he went straight out of the queue without any hesitation, and firmly held his hands in greeting.
Exuding bold words like aspirational ambitions.
Sun Quan waved his hand and said: "That's right!"
"Thank you, lord."
Then he handed over his hand to thank him and went to mobilize his troops.
The matter was resolved with reinforcements.
Next, Sun Quan personally sat in Lukou and took charge of the overall situation.
The commander-in-chief, Lu Su, was fully responsible for the defense deployment among all lines to prevent the Jingzhou Army from attacking.
And from this moment on.
From the Yangtze River to the Xiang River and the Han River.
The Sun and Liu families had completely fought over the division of Jingzhou.
After Pan Zhang led more than 3,000 people out of the camp.
Traveling all the way, we turned directly from the Xiang River to the Yangtze River and ran upstream.
Maybe it's because of his eagerness to achieve great results.
During his march, he did not send too many sentry ships to both sides to inquire about the situation.
Seeing this, a general on the side couldn't help but persuade him: "General, Xiakou is currently under a fierce offensive from the Jingzhou Army. We should send more people along the way to find out what's true."
"What if the enemy forces set up ambushes on both sides?"
As soon as he said this, the general's official face also showed a strong sense of caution, and he spoke out words of admonishment.
only.
Pan Zhang was now in a hurry to get to Xiakou, so why would he waste time again?
"You are worrying too much. The Jingzhou Army is here to capture Xiakou. Once Xiakou is lost, their strategic goal will have been achieved."
"At present, this area is all controlled by our army. How can the Jingzhou Army take the risk of setting up an ambush?"
"But I'm not afraid..."
"No need to say more, just carry out the military orders!"
Even though the general still needed persuasion, Pan Zhang waved his hand to interrupt him.
The entire army quickly drove upstream.
There were almost no scouts along the way to check the truth.
Not even the slightest pause.
Moreover, the shipbuilding industry in Wudi is also extremely developed.
Even now when going upstream, the sailing speed is still extremely brisk.
Only half a day.
The Wu fleet had slowly entered the waters of Xiakou.
"Quickly send someone to meet with General Sun and tell him that our army has arrived at the outskirts, so that he can be prepared to respond."
On the first day of the new year, he arrived at the outskirts of the Xiakou military camp. With Pan Zhang's keen sense of smell from years of fighting, he suddenly heard the faint sounds of fighting between the two armies.
Then he gave the order decisively.
The sentry ship moved in.
The various units of the Wu army also stopped here to rest for a while, waiting for the return of the scouts.
However, after waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, the scout still did not return.
For a moment, Pan Zhang's right hand tightly grasped the hilt of the sword, and he seemed to feel an unusual aura on his face.
"The ministries quickly formed their formations and prepared for battle..."
In a split second, he immediately drew his sword and gave the order.
His response was extremely quick.
Unfortunately, the Jingzhou Army's actions were not slow at all.
Between the two sides, countless warships headed by fighting ships and Mongols were seen sweeping in!
Fu Xu, Feng Xi and others will each take a unit to outflank the area.
The commander-in-chief, Pang Tong, was on a huge battleship, standing at the tooth flag, observing the battle situation in the middle.
At this moment, the various units of the Wu army are still in the process of hastily forming formations.
Suddenly, the Jingzhou Army, which had been premeditated, attacked.
In just a split second, Wu Jun's army became slightly more military-minded.
Simply put, Pan Zhang was also a general with extremely rich battle formations, and used strong methods to contain the panic in the army.
In a moment.
The Jingzhou Army outflanked from both sides.
Almost in an instant, arrows rained down like rain.
Bursts of arrows shot into the Wu army's formation.
One by one, Wu's soldiers failed to dodge and fell to the bottom of the water.
Just look at this.
The various units of the Wu army had just organized a counterattack.
To be continued...
