Chapter 114: The Tiger General Comes Out (Part 1)
Yu Si's proposal to send troops was allowed by the Lord Wu Sun Liang, so he ordered Zhuge Liang, Pan Hu and Lou Xuan to rectify the army and prepare to leave the city, and he went straight to the Lu Mansion in Jianye City.
Lu Kai, a loyal and wise man from the Lu family, was dead. Lu Xi went away to Chaisang before he returned. All the affairs in the mansion were managed by Lu Yin. Seeing Yu Si coming uninvited, Lu Yin was not surprised, but just asked someone to lead him into the study to talk.
Lu Yin looked at Yu Si, Yu Si looked at Lu Yin and neither of them opened his mouth. After a long time, Yu Si said, "Does the Censor know my purpose?"
Lu Yin smiled and said, "Shihong is still calm at this time. Obviously, he is confident about the battle. I have nothing to worry about. If I can help, Shihong said it's okay."
Yu Si said happily: "The Censor is so serious. General Wei is cunning and brave, and it is difficult to have an opponent in the army. I heard that the dragons and tigers in the Lu Mansion came to ask for help."
Lu Yin smiled silently and said, "If the wheel hides the dragon and crouch down the tiger, who can match the fourth young master of the Yu family? If Shi Hong does not have a powerful general, then I can only see you off."
Seeing this, Yu Si smiled bitterly and said, "The Censor doesn't know anything. There are many brave men in the army, but no one is worthy of Wei general Tang Bin. Cheng Boyang, under Zhuge Zhongsi, is not this opponent, and there is really no one to choose here."
"Oh? Cheng Boyang is Cheng Su, who is known as the number one master in Zhuge Dan's mansion?" Lu Yin was stunned when he heard this.
"It's this person. If it weren't for this, how could he dare to disturb the Censor's recovery?" Yu Si said humbly.
"I'm not to be ignorant, there are indeed suitable candidates in the mansion, but they all followed Wen Zhong to Chaisang. They were not in the mansion. I'm afraid I can't help me." Lu Yin thought for a while, with a look of regret. There were two generals in the Lu family's mansion who were good at fighting, but they all followed Lu Xi to support Chaisang. Yu Si was not the time to come.
"This...oh... the battle is about to go to war, and that nephew is leaving." Yu Si sighed, turned around and left the Lu Mansion.
If there is no suitable candidate for the Lu Mansion, then the outcome of this battle will be reduced. However, due to the situation, if you want to attack him, you can only take this opportunity to send troops to the point of being effective. Otherwise, if the Wei people gain a foothold in Danyang and Wuhu, then Jianye will always be under the deterrence of the Wei people.
The 30,000 Wu troops were ready to be decorated. Yu Si, Zhuge Liang, Pan Hu and Lou Xuan led the three armies to Wuhu. Danyang and Wuhu, captured by the Wei army, were both important military places in Jianye's east. Danyang was closer, while Wuhu was farther away.
According to common sense, the Wei army naturally guarded its troops in Danyang County, which was closer to Jianye City, rather than Wuhu County. Therefore, the entire Yu Si army attacked the weak Wuhu. In addition to weak guards, Wuhu was the only link between Danyang and the Wei army. Conquering this place was equivalent to cutting off the connection between Jiangnan counties and Jiangbei, which was guided by the Wei army, which was also an important factor in choosing Wuhu to take action.
Zhuge Liang was defeated just now but was still trusted by Yu Si, and he led 10,000 troops as the pioneer. In order to make up for the lack of generals under Zhuge Liang, Yu Si specially dispatched the three Zhang brothers as deputy generals to assist Zhuge Liang.
The three Zhang brothers are all named for diligence. Although martial spirits are not the best, they are brave. Even if they are not Tang Bin's opponent, the three brothers will be enough to kill Tang Bin!
The 30,000 Wu army's light raid was still quite disturbing. The Wu people were well aware of geography and were good at using bad areas to avoid and investigate. Although their whereabouts would be discovered by the Wei army sooner or later, as long as the Wei army was not as fast as it was, there would be a seven-point chance of winning in this battle.
Zhuge Liang led tens of vanguards to run all the way. It was already sunset when he arrived in Wuhu. The dusk covered Wuhu County, and the Wei army outside the city was shocked when they saw the Wu army and quickly retreated to the city. Zhuge Liang sneered and commanded the Wu army to rush forward to start robbing the city.
At the same time, Lou Xuan's 10,000 Wu troops moved to Dongliang Mountain to seize this dangerous place and could also be ambushed as a surprise weapon.
The 10,000 Wu troops led by Yu Si set up a formation in the rear and prepared to fight against the Wei army returning from Danyang. When the Wu army passed by the Danyang territory, they were found by the Wei army. The Wei people's investigation website was much larger than Yu Si expected, and the Wu army's target was really obvious.
Whether it is Wuhu or Danyang, these are all city counties under the long-term rule of the Wu Kingdom. The city was controlled but the people in the wild were free. Along the way, the Wu army continued to gather information from the Wei army from the people's mouths, and the situation was even more serious than the Wu army expected.
The Wei State did not regard Wuhu as a fortress, but instead regarded Wuhu as a transit station for troops and materials. A large number of troops and resources passed by Wuhu and thought about the east. It was another major county of the Wu State, Wu County.
Wu County has not many troops. If the Wei army attacks with all its might, it will most likely not be able to defend it. Wu County is located in a remote area, but there are still water and land ports. Once Wu County is occupied, you can reach it by boat from Guangling, Xuzhou. This route is much more reliable than taking Wuhu.
If the Wei army continues to gather troops in Wujun, the south can attack Kuaiji and other places, and to the west, compete with the Wu army in Jianye, which is equivalent to splitting the three Wu areas. This strategy is obviously more than ten times better than the decision of the Wu army to attack Xuchang at the beginning. How can Yu Si and others not be anxious?
Faced with the siege of more than 10,000 Wu troops, the Wuhu Wei garrison led three thousand Wei troops to fight to the death. However, the war did not start from Wuhu, but Dongliangshan.
Just as Zhuge Liang's Wu army entered Wuhu City, a Wei army broke out from the direction of Dongliangshan, rolling up smoke and dust to support Wuhu. Lou Xuan's army's purpose was also Dongliangshan. It happened to intercept the Wei army halfway, and both sides did not answer and swung their swords to kill each other!
The Wei army had a force of about 6,000 or 7,000 people, and its combat power was extremely strong. The Wu army, who were the first to kill the Wei general, retreated one after another. Lou Xuan saw his face change in the formation, and hurriedly sent people to spread the word that Zhuge Liang and Yu Si came to help the battle, because this Wei army was Tang Bin, who made the Wu people frightened!
Even as a hub, the importance of Wuhu cannot be ignored. Tang Bin's mission was to guard Wuhu, so he had long been stationed in Dongliang Mountain. He originally planned to be in the back, but he did not know that the Wu army's troops were divided into three routes. Before the Wei army arrived at Wuhu city to rescue, he could not fight with Lou Xuan and his ten thousand Wu soldiers.
Lou Xuan is a civil servant, and his martial arts are extraordinary among civil servants, and it is common among military generals. Tang Bin's bravery Lou Xuan knew it, but he was just commanding soldiers to stop it. The more Wu army was like this, the more Tang Bin knew it. The famous generals of Eastern Wu either died in battle or were demoted, and those who could take action would be lower than two levels. If the horse in front of him was Ding Feng and Zhu Yi led his troops, he would definitely not be able to get a advantage.
The Wei army attacked fiercely, and Lou Xuan's Wu army's formation began to shake and gradually could not be supported. The brave ones won when they meet on a narrow road. This is not a narrow road, but it is also a frontal impact that no one is willing to retreat. The combat power of the Wei army's generals is higher than that of the Wu army, and with Tang Bin's command and leading by example, it is definitely not something that Lou Xuan can withstand.
Fortunately, Zhuge Liang, who was closer, sent three Zhang brothers to lead three thousand troops to help the war. The three brothers Zhang Bu, Zhang Dun and Zhang Xun were all officials of the Wu State. The three big swords immediately joined the battle, and in a blink of an eye, reversed the situation on the battlefield.
Ten thousand Wu troops attacked 7,000 Wei troops, and nearly twice the force was already a hard fight. The bravery of the three Zhang brothers made the Wei army suffer even more. The impact of the Wei army weakened, and Lou Xuan took the opportunity to command the Wu army to start a counterattack. As long as the Wei army's sharp edge was smoothed out, the Wu army, which fought with superior forces, still had a chance of winning with six or seven points.
Tang Bin's eyes were as sharp as an eagle and snorted coldly. The key to the battle was the Zhang brothers. Defeating these three people, Lou Xuan's Wu army was also vulnerable. Thinking of this, Tang Bin rode his horse and raised his sword and rushed straight to Lou Xuan's central army. More than 2,000 elite Wei troops followed him, and his reputation was greatly shocked.
"Those who block me will die!" Tang Bin roared wildly, causing riots among the Wu army in front. The generals of Wu Kingdom were constantly killed by the Wei army, and the originally thick formation was almost collapsed by Tang Bin.
The Wei people were brave, and Lou Xuan was not afraid of death. He raised his sword in his hand and shouted: "If I die in battle, the command power will be handed over to the adjutant, and the adjutant will be passed down in order. The country and the country of Wu fought here and died for the country. It is a blessing for the ministers!" After saying that, Lou Xuan personally took an arrow and led his army to fight bravely, completely risking his life.
"Sir, be careful! Wow..." A general of Wu State immediately stepped forward to protect him when he saw Lou Xuan revealing his flaws, and was slashed by Tang Bin on the horse.
"Your loyalty, Tang Bin recorded it, your head, Tang Bin took it!" Tang Bin slashed his sword in his hand, but he praised Youjia. The Eastern Wu was invaded by Wei and Shu at the same time, and the beautiful rivers and mountains were lost half of the walls, and the people were panicked and the army had no desire to fight. At this moment, there were Lou Xuan and Zhang Ti, a general who looked at death, which made people amazed.
Facing a strong enemy, Lou Xuan was not afraid at all. He waved his sword in his hand to fight against Tang Bin, gritting his teeth and shouting loudly, and his moves were all the ways to die together.
One inch long and one inch long and one inch short and one inch dangerous. Tang Bin's martial arts are far above Lou Xuan, and the big sword in his hand has already gained an advantage; Lou Xuan's methods are far from Tang Bin's opponent, and the length of the weapon is not as long as the opponent.
Such a battle situation was already destined. The big sword was embedded in Lou Xuan's body without mercy. Lou Xuan waved the sword with a righteous look on his face, but Tang Bin dodged it.
"Why……"
A sigh, the sword suddenly pulled out. Lou Xuan had the ambition to save the country and had a plan to govern the country. Unfortunately, he died on the battlefield, leaving only a wisp of heroic soul in the books and silk, and will never be destroyed.
"Sir! The thief is dead!" Lou Xuan Fang fell off his horse, and a general of Wu came out from the slanting sting. His anger was beyond words, and he slashed down with a big sword in his hand! It was Zhang Bu, the general of Wu!
"when!"
"Ha, it's far from it." Tang Bin laughed in a very relaxed way when he felt that the other party was full of strength.
"Take me a knife!" Tang Bin was about to counterattack, and another Wu general was coming beside him. It was Zhang Bu's brother Zhang Dun!
"when!"
"Well, is this only capable?" Tang Bin took another knife and his arm couldn't help but feel numb, but his expression was calm and effortless.
