The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 309

After Zhang Wu arrived, Sun Quan had already retreated. He knew that he had no chance to break through the barrier and enter Moling City, so he set up troops in Jurong under Kan Ze's suggestion, and let the defenders in the city know that there was a support army outside, ready to support at all times. them.

Zhang Wu then ordered the army to attack Moling City, hoping to end the first stage of the war as soon as possible.

But things were somewhat beyond Zhang Wu's expectations.

From Zhang Wu's point of view, there are only [-] remnants in Moling City, their morale is low, and reinforcements cannot enter the city, so they will not be able to hold out for long.

The Jingzhou army now has more than [-] troops, and they have even used kerosene, poisonous smoke and other big killers, but they have been unable to attack the city for a long time.

Zhang Wu finally realized that he had underestimated Lu Su.

Now the supreme commander of the Jiangdong Army in the city is Lu Su, the deputy governor of Jiangdong. In the absence of a major governor, Lu Su is the highest officer.

This guy tried his best to boost morale, and tried his best to resist the Jingzhou army's attack on the city, but he dragged the Jingzhou army for more than ten days.Every time Moling City was on the verge of collapse, he was able to bring the dead back to life.Generals such as Lu Meng, Xu Sheng, and Pan Zhang also fought on the city wall in spite of themselves.

Moreover, although Sun Quan's army could not rush into the city, it kept harassing the Jingzhou army, so that Zhang Wu had to deploy part of his troops to block Sun Quan, and could not attack the city with all his strength.

Sure enough, no one who can leave a name in history is simple. Lu Su's ability to take over the post of Jiangdong Governor after Zhou Yu's death did have some real skills.

Xu Sheng in the city is also a general who is very good at defense. He once led 200 people to defend Chaisang and resist Huang She's attack of thousands of people. Finally, he opened the city gate and took the initiative to fight, defeating Huang She.

After Zhou Yu's death, there is a saying that is still very reasonable, Rao Zijing, the gatekeeper of Fulu, and Gan Ning in water battles near the river.Now Gan Ning is Zhang Wu's general, but Lu Su has finally become the commander of the Jiangdong Army.

Although this Lu Su didn't have any dazzling records, he was indeed very tough in defense, just like him, very stable.

The biggest loss in such a siege battle is the attacker. Even if the Jingzhou army has catapults, kerosene, and poisonous smoke, they still have to send soldiers to attack the city in the end.

For more than ten days, the Jingzhou Army killed more than 1 soldiers and countless wounded.

Zhang Wu was also very distressed, but he had no choice. If he did not take Moling, he would not be considered to have complete control of the Yangtze River, and he would not be able to completely isolate Sun Quan from Cao Cao.

Now Zhang Wu is waiting for the news that Liu Pan attacked Kuaiji. As long as Liu Pan can successfully attack Qiantang, Sun Quan's old nest, Wu County, will face the threat of Jingzhou Army, and Sun Quan must return to Wu County to defend.At that time, the defenders in Moling City will definitely panic and their morale will plummet, and the Jingzhou army may attack the city more smoothly.

But as the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly, Zhang Wu and others came with the news of Liu Pan's defeat. Not only did [-] soldiers suffer heavy losses, but even the deputy general Wang Zhong died in battle.

Su Fei, the commander of the water army, was in deep siege. Fortunately, Liu Pan desperately rescued Su Fei, but Liu Pan was seriously injured.

Zhang Wu was shocked, and quickly ordered to suspend the siege, and asked people to quickly inquire about the details.

It turned out that He Qi, the guard general of Qiantang County in Kuaiji County, was also a veteran who had followed Sun Ce and made many contributions in the crusade against the Shanyue tribe.He Qi led the army with strict military laws and decisive killings. He had considerable military talent, but his life was a bit extravagant.

Originally, most of the soldiers and horses from Jiangdong were attracted to the Moling battlefield, and Kuaiji County was still behind Wu County. Sun Quan felt that it was relatively safe, so he mobilized a lot of defenders. There were only more than [-] soldiers in Qiantang County, and there were many old and weak.When he was suddenly attacked by Liu Pan's army, he was also very flustered.

Fortunately, He Qi led troops to fight for many years, quickly organized soldiers and people to defend the city, and sent people to ask for help from Wu County urgently.

Liu Pan's surprise attack on Kuaiji was actually intended to cause chaos in the rear of Jiangdong, make Sun Quan feel that Wu Jun was threatened, and achieve the purpose of forcing Sun Quan's reinforcements to retreat and disintegrating the morale of the defenders in Moling City.Even if Liu Pan can't take down Qiantang, as long as he keeps surrounding it, he can achieve his goal.

There are not many troops in Qiantang County, and there are no generals. He Qi is mainly a commander-in-chief, and his personal force is not outstanding, only third-rate. He also knows Liu Pan's bravery, so he dare not go out of the city to fight.

Liu Pan ordered Su Fei to lead [-] soldiers to guard the warship, he led [-] soldiers to block Qiantang County, and ordered Wang Zhong to lead [-] soldiers to plunder everywhere, creating panic.

Liu Pan is very good at doing this kind of thing. When he was in Changsha, he often went to Yuzhang to harass him.

Sure enough, Kuaiji County was disturbed by Liu Pan, and people panicked. He Qi was trapped in the city and did not dare to come out. He could only send people to urge Wu County to send reinforcements quickly, and at the same time ordered the garrisons of surrounding counties to come to support.

Zhang Zhao and others who stayed behind in Wujun were also panicked. Now the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army are basically on the front line, and there is really no military support in the rear, but Kuaiji must be rescued. Once Kuaiji falls, not only Wujun will be threatened, but the frontline will also be threatened. The morale of the army is in turmoil and there is a danger of defeat.

If things continued like this, Sun Quan at the front would definitely have to send troops back to help, but once he did so, he would no longer be able to contain the Jingzhou army that was besieging Moling.If the news reaches Moling City, it may affect morale.

But at this time, a person suddenly appeared, and saved Jiangdong once in this critical moment.

This person is Lu Xun.

Lu Xun entered Sun Quan's shogunate in the eighth year of Jian'an and became Sun Quan's staff. In fact, he was a secretary, mainly doing some secretarial work. At that time, Lu Xun was 21 years old.

Later, Sun Quan saw that Lu Xun was very capable and talented, and Lu Xun was born in one of the four major families in Wu County, and he also had a strong relationship, so he was appointed by Sun Quan as the captain of Haichang Tuntian and concurrently served as the county magistrate of Haichang.This is to be both a civil official and a military officer, who can govern the people and lead troops to fight.

At this time in Jiangdong, not only Shanyue often rebelled, but also many bandits rebelled frequently. Lu Xun led troops under He Qi to quell the rebellion and conquer Shanyue many times.

Haichang County is not far from Qiantang County. At this time, he heard that Qiantang County was attacked by the Jingzhou army. Lu Xun would definitely go to rescue He Qi, but he didn't have many soldiers. Only a few hundred people could go to battle. Gathered hundreds of strong men, and gathered 1000 people.

It would definitely not work to take these people directly to rescue Qiantang County, but Liu Pan was guarding with thousands of elite soldiers. If he went there rashly, he must be a sheep. It is said that Liu Pan was guarding outside Qiantang County and had already wiped out several reinforcements.

So, Lu Xun devised a plan.

Although there is no navy in Kuaiji County, it is located on the coast. Qiantang and Haichang are both on the edge of Hangzhou Bay, and there are rivers in the east of the river. It is no problem for ordinary soldiers to operate ships and fight.

Lu Xun first sent someone to get in touch with He Qi in the city and informed He Qi of his strategy. Then he led his troops to attack Su Fei who was guarding the ship at night, and set the Jingzhou army's warship ablaze.

Su Fei was attacked in the middle of the night, and he didn't know how many enemy troops there were. He saw figures and shouts everywhere, and a thousand soldiers were awakened by the fire in their sleep. They jumped into the water in fright, and were killed Jiangdong soldiers killed.
