Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao, please answer the question!

He was also well received by Sun Quan, who even visited his home several times.

Lujiang County has always had the old style of impetuosity, decisiveness, fierce fighting, and fear of death, but Chen Wu is an extremely stable person.

He opened his mouth and said, "Let the soldiers build up the mountain first, and then attack."

Xu Sheng felt that it took too long to build the earth mountain, and what they needed was a quick attack. He said: "You can erect the ladder, build the Hongqiao, and fight again!"

In fact, a lot of time wasted.

Of course Zhou Yu would not use these methods, but Lu Meng said at this time: "If you use these methods, Cao Cao will have led the army to Hefei long ago."

"Wankou's defenders are only four or five thousand. What are we afraid of? With an army of [-], are we afraid that we won't be able to take down one Wankou?"

Indeed, although the two generals in front also had the idea of ​​controlling casualties.

But now they are in a hurry, and casualties must be ignored.

Zhou Yu thought about it, and said: "Let's send someone to persuade the peace first, Chen Wu, you are familiar with Lujiang, can you persuade Zhu Guang, the prefect of Lujiang County, to surrender?"

Chen Wu replied: "I will do my best in the end!"

When discussing, the army had already arrived at Wankou, which is under Wancheng.

Zhu Guang, the prefect of Lujiang, sits here personally, because the land here is fertile and it is the granary of Lujiang.

His subordinates were also on the tower at this time, they were already fighting with their hands, and they had to be supported to stand still.

"Master Taishou, there are many enemy soldiers, why don't we surrender!" One person cried.

The power of tens of thousands of troops is simply incredible.

Suddenly, he rushed out of Jiangdong's army.

It was only when he got to the city that he knew that it was Chen Wu. His name had already been spread in Lujiang County, so it can be said that everyone knew it.

Just listen to Chen Wu roaring: "Fathers and folks, a certain one is Chen Wu. I came here today by the order of the lord. I didn't want to hurt you."

"If you open the city gate and surrender, I can guarantee that no one will be killed or injured in Wancheng."

The crying official immediately leaned against the female wall and shouted: "Don't attack, don't attack, we just surrender!"

Chen Wu was overjoyed.

I wanted to go back to my life.

Unexpectedly, he saw a head protruding from the city wall again, holding a scimitar high, he chopped off the head of the person who said to surrender.

The expression on that head was still very rich, and it fell along the city wall to the corner of the city gate.

"Kill those who have the heart of the cholera army!" Only the beheaded shouted.

"Chen Wu, you are not ashamed to join the forces of rebellion, but you are proud of it. Today, you even led the army to attack General Lu."

"Don't kill a single person, haha, it's just ridiculous. Your army is all Shanyue, who burns and loots for fun, and you are all people whose nature is hard to change."

"Rang, if you open this city gate, you will have the final say when you come into the city!"

Zhu Guang looked furious, and what he said was somewhat reasonable.

If Chen Wuzhi's subordinates were almost all from Lujiang, it would be fine.

But if Chen Wu can restrain his own people, can he restrain others?

They have [-] soldiers and horses in Wancheng, if they don't kill them, why don't they send thousands of people to guard here?

Chen Wu yelled angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, old man! My Jiangdong army is strictly disciplined, is it the kind of person you say?"

"Traitors, if you have anything to say, take your life!" Zhu Guang dodged a crossbow from the soldier's hand, and then shot an arrow away.

The rest of the soldiers also started shooting arrows, and hundreds of arrows whizzed through the air.

Chen Wu rode his horse back and fled, an arrow hit his shoulder, but fortunately he was out of the shooting range of the bow and crossbow.

He fled back to the army, and everyone knew that nothing had been accomplished when they saw his distressed appearance.

Lu Meng asked for orders: "Please let me lead an army to attack Wancheng!"

Chen Wu's expression was disappointed, he looked at Lu Meng and said, "General, please don't hurt the people after you capture Wancheng!"

Lu Meng nodded, and went out of the tent to personally order [-] troops to press down on Wancheng.

Wancheng is just a small city, and Zhu Guang only lives here because of its good location, and even the city walls are not high.

When the [-] troops came, many people changed their faces.

Seeing that many soldiers wanted to retreat, Zhu Guang said, "Your relatives are behind you. Do you want your wives and children to fall under the butcher's knives of these thieves?"

"Jiangdong Shanyue is a bandit. Baiyue was born. How about a bandit? Then Baiyue is an uneducated person. Don't place your hope on the kindness of the enemy."

Hearing Zhu Guang's words, many people looked back and saw their homes in the city.

Their eyes suddenly become much firmer.

Holding the weapon and shield tightly in his hands, his face was fierce.

It was said before that Lujiang County has the old style of impetuosity, decisiveness, fierce fighting, and fear of death. They are better than Jiangdong people.

The Jiangdong army led by Lu Meng crossed the range, and arrows rained down like rain.

Regardless of the life and death of the people around him, Lu Meng rushed to the bottom of the city first, and climbed up the city wall a few times with his strength, it was like a light skill.

With a tiger forehead halberd in hand, he charged into the crowd.

Zhu Guang retreated again and again in horror, and the soldiers immediately came to block Lu Meng.

With a wave of Lu Meng's halberd, a large number of Wancheng soldiers fell, and no one was his single enemy.

Zhu Guang took the crossbow and shot, but he couldn't get one meter in front of Lu Meng before he was cut off.

Lu Meng's eyes were fierce, he smashed, stabbed, lashed and chopped with his halberd. Dozens of people were beaten back again and again by one man.

The soldiers fell one by one, but Zhu Guang calmed down a lot. He drew his sword from his waist and roared: "A certain swears to guard the Lujiang River and the people, and the bandits are rampant."

After finishing speaking, he rushed towards Lu Meng.

Some soldiers shouted: "The prefect must not step forward!"

Zhu Guang said like crazy: "If the people of Wancheng suffer, how dare I live?"

Lu Meng frowned, looking at Zhu Guang who came back again, the halberd stabbed like a snake.

That Zhu Guang didn't know any martial arts at all, he was directly pierced through the chest, and then his head was chopped off by a halberd.

Lu Meng caught the head and shouted: "The prefect is dead, why don't you surrender?"

All the soldiers in Wancheng were filled with grief and indignation, all because of Zhu Guang's death, and at this moment, the Wancheng army on the city wall was more courageous, and there was a sense of determination in the army.

Just like Zhu Guang himself.

Zhu Guang knew that he could not escape. He was the person Cao Cao sent to guard this place. Anyone who broke the city could be let go, but he would not.

So when Lu Meng attacked the city wall, he had the intention of death in his heart, and used his own death to arouse the bloodiness of these Wancheng soldiers.

Thus holding back the pace of the Jiangdong army.

And his battle was undoubtedly very successful. This battle lasted from morning to afternoon before Wancheng was broken.

Only a few hundred people surrendered in Wancheng, and more than [-] people died.

The Jiangdong Army also suffered heavy losses, with nearly twice as many casualties as Wancheng.

After all, it is a siege battle!

……

Chapter 134 Attacking Hefei

After Wancheng was breached, soldiers rushed into the city to loot.

Even if Lu Meng wanted to, he couldn't stop it completely.

These Shanyue soldiers are extremely hostile and need to vent their anger.

The so-called gold belt for murder and arson means that the property of soldiers is mainly not military pay, but looting.

Of course, he controlled the time a little bit. When the army entered the city, he stopped these wanton guys.

Chen Wu walked into the city, saw the half-closed door, the weeping woman, and the mess on the ground, so he knew what happened.

Zhu Guang is right.

He can only restrain his subordinates, not everyone.

Thinking of this, he became a little silent.

In such a situation, Lu Meng had already given him face.

Although the battle was won, the Jiangdong army had lost its sharpness. Zhou Yu realized that it might not be possible to capture Hefei if this continues.

He directly ordered to reward the soldiers and open the grain depots in Wancheng to make everyone full.

Several generals sat together, Zhou Yu thought for a while and said: "If you want to attack Hefei, you must attack directly."

"Relying on morale to take Hefei in one fell swoop, if there is a delay, the soldiers will become tired and lazy, which is not good for us!"

After taking Wancheng today, morale has increased to a certain extent.

The [-] troops led by Zhou Tai and Dong Xi who arrived later took over Hezhou with only a hundred dead, which can be described as extremely easy.

"There are more than [-] defenders in Hefei. If they fight, they will suffer heavy losses." Pan Zhang's face was full of worry.

Zhou Yu replied: "If we don't take Hefei, then we will stick to the natural danger of the Yangtze River."

"Cities like Hezhou and Wankou strangle our navy, do you think of the consequences?"

Originally, Hefei didn't have many soldiers and horses, and cities like Hezhou and Wankou didn't have naval troops, and the combined number was no more than [-].

There is no threat to Jiangdong at all.

But this is not a threat and it is only temporary. If they don't take Hefei, when Hefei develops, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others will train the navy for Cao Cao.

They will be able to strangle the Yangtze River, and then the Jiangdong navy will only be able to fight at the mouth of the sea, and will not be able to penetrate into the interior.

This was like breaking Jiang Dong's arm.

Cao Cao's acquisition of Jingzhou is not the biggest threat, the biggest threat is the navy.

That's why Sun Quan attacked Jingzhou in the west and Hefei in the north.

The purpose is to prevent Cao Cao from passing the natural danger of the Yangtze River!

After Jiangdong lost the advantage of the navy, he might be defeated in an instant against Cao Jun.

Therefore, Zhou Yu cannot retreat to defend the Yangtze River. He must occupy Hefei before he can defend the Yangtze River.

All the generals understood Zhou Yu's meaning, that is, this battle must be fought to the death.

"Please order the governor!"

Tomorrow morning we need to attack Hefei. Zhou Yu took out a map and said, "Tomorrow we will go to Luting, and after preparing here, we will divide the three armies to attack Hefei."

"Lü Meng and Gan Ning are in the vanguard, Jiang Qin and Pan Zhang are behind."

"The Chinese army will be led by Zhou Tai, Chen Wu, Dong Xi, and Xu Sheng."

"The three armies are attacking the south gate of Hefei, don't give them a chance to react."

The weather was slightly cold, the frost had not yet melted, and the army set out towards the north just after halfway through the night.

After walking for a day and a half, I arrived at Luting. After resting for half a day, I arrived at the sixth day of the first lunar month, Ma Ri.

Legend has it that Nu Wa created the common people, creating chickens, dogs, pigs, sheep, cows, horses and other animals in sequence, and created humans on the seventh day, so the seventh day is the birthday of humans.

Zhou Yu said: "The seventh day of the Lunar New Year is Humanity Day. Tomorrow when the army arrives in Hefei, the city must be unprepared. This is just the right time."

Zhou Yu thought that if there was God's help along the way, he would rest and prepare and travel by night.

Send scouts ahead, there is no ambush on the road, and all defenders are in the city.

Sure enough, even Hefei has a festival. Tomorrow is People's Day. Everyone's birthday is naturally grand.

Even if the army was in a hurry, it took a day to arrive. After only half an hour of repairs, the army pressed towards Hefei.

No warning.

Even Le Jin and Jiang Ji didn't expect the Jiangdong Army to come so soon.
