Call of the Deer

Chapter 508 Sun Quan's Choice, Wu Qi Attacks

Mengzhou, Sangzhou Hancheng, Hancheng defender Xue Rengui received a letter from Bei Mingzhan and Dongfang Yuchen, and began to assist in the capture of Anzhou.

"Brother Xue, what are you going to do?"

Tian Dan looked at Xue Rengui who fell into silence, and asked.

"Since it is the order of Shangshu Ling, Xue must obey it. When Xue goes out to the army, and the matter of Sangzhou, Brother Laotian will be there!"

Anzhou borders on the southwest of Mengzhou in the north, borders on the southwest of Sangzhou, borders on Cangzhou in the south, borders on the territory of King Yan of Zhongzhou in the west, and borders on Zhenzhou in the east;

Once Anzhou is captured, on the one hand, it can prevent King Yan of Zhongzhou from taking advantage of the fire, and on the other hand, it can cut off the back road of King Sun Quan of Zhenzhou with Baiqi in the south, and catch the turtle in the urn;
Therefore, capturing Anzhou was crucial to the northern campaign and basically determined the turning point of the war. As one of the few generals in the north, he should naturally help.

"Since Brother Xue has made his decision, then Tian will wish Brother Xue a successful victory and a triumphant return in one fell swoop!"

"Hehe, let's borrow Brother Tian's words. Anzhou is weak, and Sun Quan's generals are few, so it is difficult to cover the entire Anzhou with troops. Taking Anzhou should not be a problem!"

Xue Rengui smiled lightly, for this battle, he is confident and has no pressure!

Soon, Xue Rengui led his general Gao Aocao and [-] cavalry to march southwest, intending to join Beimingzhan and Dongfang Yuchen in the southwest.

Zhenzhou Wangfu, inside Zhenwang City.

Sun Quan received the envoy sent by Li Shimin, the king of Eastern Qin Dynasty. Li Shimin's counselor Gao Shilian and general Hou Junji were under Li Shimin's command.

At this moment, the people gathered in the City Lord's Mansion are mainly Fan Zeng, Xie Hui, and two newly recruited generals, one named Lu Junyi and the other named Zhang Qing, both of whom are superb in martial arts.

"Mr. Gao, General Hou, I don't want to gossip. This time, Bei Minghao sent his general Li Jing to attack and attack the city along the way. Now there are heavy troops outside the city of Huai'an, an important town in the eastern part of Zhenzhou. The situation is in danger!

Wanwang and the two can think about the millions of people in Zhenzhou and help the king resist the enemy outside the city of Huai'an! "

Sun Quan went straight to the topic, analyzed the current severe situation, and then looked at Hou Junji.

"Prince Zhenzhou, don't worry, Hou Junji will definitely do his best to help the king fight against Li Jing's army!"

Hou Junji and Gao Shilian looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of heaviness in their own eyes, and then they said loudly.

"In this way, General Lao, come, take General Hou and Mr. Gao down to rest!"

After Hou Junji and Gao Shilian left, the joy on Sun Quan's face disappeared completely, and instead became very ugly.

"This Li Shimin is so naive and ridiculous. The Beiming army is so powerful that he sent only two people to prevent the Beiming army from encroaching on him. It's like a dream come true!"

"It seems that we still need to find a way to resist the Northern Underworld Army. Do you have a plan to retreat from the enemy?"

Sun Quan no longer placed his hopes on Li Shimin at this moment, but turned to Fan Zeng. After all, Fan Zeng is now his counselor.

"My lord, at this point, I want to tell you the truth, I hope my lord will not get angry!"

Fan Zengcheng sighed, and there was no sign of optimism on his face.

"Sir, just say, I will never blame you!"

When Sun Quan heard Fan Zeng's words, his face froze slightly, and then he gave a wry smile and asked Fan Zeng to continue.

"My lord, Li Jing's troops surrounded Huai'an City, but they didn't attack the city. Their intention was to contain the main force of our army. I decided that Li Jing's army would go north to Sangzhou, pass through Sangzhou, and directly attack Anzhou in the west.
Sangzhou is empty of troops. Although General Lu Su has outstanding abilities, it is difficult to defend Anzhou;
And once Anzhou falls, the Beiming army coins will definitely respond from east to west, attacking Zhenzhou front and back, and at this moment, Zhenjiang City in the south will also fall, and Zhenzhou will be surrounded by enemies on all sides.

Speaking of this, Fan Zeng stopped, waiting for Sun Quan to digest what he just said.

"Why did sir teach me?"

After a long time, Sun Quan spoke dejectedly.

"The poisoner Jia Xu is the only one who can come up with such a plan to draw salary from the bottom of the pot. The person who assists Li Jing must be a poisoner.
The only plan for now is that our army can only abandon Zhenzhou and go south. Flying pigeons pass on a letter to Yongzhou Wang Xiaoyan, and join forces with Xiaoyan to attack the princes of Baiqi from the north to the south, regain Zhenjiang City again, and defend Yongzhou to the death
When Li Shimin goes south and frees his hand, it's time for us to counterattack and regain the lost ground! "

Fan Zeng had fought against the poisonous Jia Xu many times, so he knew Jia Xu's strategy. Although he thought he was not under Jia Xu, he did not underestimate Jia Xu.

At this moment, his face was even more solemn, he analyzed the situation thoroughly, and also deduced the conclusion that Zhenzhou could not be defended, and then Fan Zeng resigned.

Faced with Fan Zeng's assertion, Sun Quan did not blame him, or he did not dare to blame, but fell into the sympathy between heaven and man;

To retreat or not to retreat?If you retreat, you will live under the fence. Whether you can regain Zhenzhou in the future is still a matter of opinion; if you don’t retreat, the hope of defending Zhenzhou is very small.

Life or death is what he has to choose at this moment. If he chooses to live, he can only live under the fence of others, and to live in an ignoble existence; if he chooses to die, he may be vigorous and maintain his dignity, but who can remember it? King Sun Quan of Zhenzhou?
In the end, Sun Quan chose to live and decided to abandon Zhenzhou;
This strong man broke his wrist, it can be said that the needle hits the nail on the head, and the bones are visible!
Later, Sun Quan secretly sent someone to send an order to Lu Su in Anzhou, asking him to abandon Anzhou, fortify the walls and clear the country, and withdraw to Zhenzhou with a large amount of gold and silver.

This move was carried out in secret, and no one noticed it, not even Hou Junji and Gao Shilian.

Just as the northern and western battles were in full swing, Wu Qi finally launched an attack on Lingchuan City after implementing a series of measures.

The starry night is like fire, a waning moon, hidden in the clouds, a little bit of starlight, scattering a trace of imperceptible bleakness;

The city of Lingchuan was completely silent, only clusters of fiery red bouquets were left on the city wall, and there were vague figures, patrolling back and forth on the city wall, surrounded by long black shadows.
Wu Qi's [-]-strong army finally launched a strategy to attack Lingchuan City after going through the strategy of reducing stoves and increasing troops, making falsehoods and realities, leading snakes out of holes, encircling Wei and saving Zhao.

Under the dark night, Wu Qi was wearing a black battle armor, holding a Qingfeng sword, standing on the commanding heights, looking in the direction of Lingchuan City.

"Chang Yuchun and Yuwen Chengdu listen to the order. You two will each lead an army of [-]. After half an hour, launch an attack on Lingchuan City!"

Wu Qi gave an order, and the two left immediately.

"Captain, then what am I, old Cheng, doing? You won't be staying here to watch a play with you, Commander?"

Seeing that he didn't get a share, Cheng Yaojin suddenly became unhappy, rubbed his hands, and looked at Wu Qi.

"Hehe, General Cheng, please be safe and don't be impatient, the governor has his own arrangements."

Wu Qi naturally had his own plan, so he chuckled casually, and then stopped talking.

"Oh, I get it, the most powerful one is of course the last one to appear on the stage, so I'll stay calm, hehe"

Hearing that there is a chance to go out by himself, Cheng Yaojin chuckled and stopped making trouble, holding a gossip Xuanhua axe, waiting for the order to go out.

In Lingchuan City, Tan Daoji was wearing a battle armor, sitting on the city wall in person, sitting beside a cluster of bonfires, holding a sizzling and fragrant roasted pork leg.

The current situation is urgent, especially in the past few days, it is the top priority. He has not slept at night for three consecutive days, and can only lie down and rest during the day.

Suddenly, his expression changed, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, his left eyelid twitched, as if something big had happened!
"Not good, pass my order to let the soldiers strengthen their guard, the enemy may be attacking the city!"

Tan Daoji yelled, and immediately stepped forward, lying on the battlements, looking into the darkness in the distance.

In the distance, figures could be seen faintly, crawling forward like reptiles.

"Enemy attack, the whole army prepares to defend the city!"

Tan Daoji yelled angrily, and personally picked up the flaming bow and arrow, bent the bow and set the arrow, and fired it into the darkness.

As a flying arrow of Tan Daoji pierced the darkness, outside the city, there were already densely packed Northern Underworld Army, quietly rushing towards Lingchuan City.

"Archers get ready, shoot me an arrow!"

Tan Daoji shouted angrily, and immediately ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows.

"His grandma's was found, brothers, follow me!"

When Chang Yuchun saw the rocket that was aimed at them, he didn't know that his side had leaked out, so he yelled angrily, holding a spear, and rushed towards the city wall of Lingchuan.

Following Chang Yuchun's angry shout, the ten thousand soldiers behind him rushed towards Lingchuan city with weapons in their hands.

On the other side, Yu Wencheng saw that Chang Yuchun's side had been exposed, so he stopped hiding and launched an attack from the other side.

In front of the camp of the Northern Underworld Army, Wu Qi frowned slightly when he saw that his army had been spotted by the enemy, and immediately ordered the archers to support him.

"Prepare the Heavenly Secret Crossbow, release it for me!"

"Yanhuang soldiers, ready to attack at any time!"

"Push out the catapult and overwhelm the enemy archers with the catapult!"

Wu Qi released the instructions one by one without any confusion. At this moment, the attack on Lingchuan City finally started.

On the other side, when Liu Yu heard the news of Wu Qi's siege, his expression became extremely strange;
That's right, it's just weird, he couldn't figure it out, where did Wu Qi get the courage to attack Lingchuan City with only a mere [-] army, this is simply an old birthday star eating arsenic and getting impatient!
"King of Suzhou, I'm afraid we have fallen for the enemy's plan to reduce the stove and increase the number of troops. The enemy army at Feiyunjian is probably just bait and smoke."

But Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's expressions changed, they naturally wouldn't regard Wu Qi as a fool;

Since Wu Qi attacked the city, there is only one explanation, that is, Wu Qi is sure to take down Lingchuan City!
The so-called siege battle, encircle it ten times, attack it five times, and divide it twice!

Before letting the defenders in Lingchuan City divide their troops, Chen Baxian, because he was worried about Pingzhou, fell into Wu Qi's plan and divided up [-] troops, while Liu Yu fell into Wu Qi's trick to lure the enemy, and distributed [-] troops to attack Feiyunjian;

Back and forth, a total of [-] troops were divided into [-] troops in Lingchuan City. The offensive and defensive momentum suddenly changed!
"Pass me an order, let the army sent to Feiyunjian return immediately, hurry up!"

Liu Jinu, who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, finally couldn't sit still at this time, and was furious, shouted angrily, and smashed the vase on one side violently!

"King of Suzhou, far away water can't quench thirst. Your Majesty should mobilize the entire city's aristocratic families and ask them to send private soldiers, otherwise Lingchuan City will be in danger!"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's faces were heavy, so they had no choice but to ask Liu Yu to calm down.

"Yes, I can't mess up, mess up, then everything is over"

"Give me an order to make Tan Daoji defend Lingchuan City at all costs, and make sure that Lingchuan City is not lost!"

Then Liu Yu ordered his soldiers to break into the big families and families, and began to threaten and coerce the big families to send troops to resist the Beiming Army (to be continued.)
