Chapter 639? Breaking through Wu County(1/2)

Yu Gu was not a general in the infantry war, but his army had received training in siege.

The so-called navy has no strength in naval battles at all. They just smuggled through sea boats and arrived in Jiangdong from Yanzhou.

That morning, it was still dawn. Guan Gu first ordered people to make rice, and then summoned officers under his command in the central army's tent, a total of more than 30 people.

"Everyone. Although Your Majesty has not issued a death order, we must establish ourselves in Jiangdong. But I have received great kindness from Your Majesty and must not be repaid. Besides, I have raised troops for a thousand days and used troops for a while. Your Majesty treats the soldiers well and never deducts military rations. The wealth and honor you enjoy now are all the gifts of Your Majesty. At this moment, it is the autumn of our service. Today, I will supervise the battle myself. Whoever dares not fight, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Guan Gu first arranged the order of siege, divided 15,000 people into eight teams, and took turns to attack the city. Then he suddenly stood up, pressed his sword and stood up with a bright look, and his tone was singular.

"promise."

The officers were filled with a stern heart and agreed.

After the soldiers had enough food, it was already bright. Yu Gu ordered a team of 2,000 troops to be in front of him and prepared to attack the city.

He himself led more than a thousand elites and rode his horse to supervise the battle in the rear.

The Liang army lined up in an orderly manner, and the solemn and murderous aura rushed straight into the sky.

"kill!!!"

At the command of the officer in charge of the command in front, the drums and thunder were heard. The soldiers were arranged neatly, pushing the driven ladder trucks and well trucks to the county town of Wuxian.

However, the siege battle in the south is different from the north. There is a lot of water in the south, so there are many moats in the city. It is spring now, and the rain is getting more, and the water level in the moat is very high.

Many of the Liang soldiers carried sacks prepared in advance and prepared to fill the moat.

The well car and the archers protected by the shield soldiers stopped first. The archers on the well car and the archers below opened their arrows and shot arrows at the head of Wuxian.

"Swish swish swish swish swish." For a moment, arrows were like rain, and the roars continued.

Under the cover of our own archers, the soldiers carrying sacks struggled forward, and in the rain of arrows, they tried their best to throw the sacks into the moat.

Under normal circumstances, such siege battles in the south will be very unfavorable for the siege side. However, the defenders in Wu County are less than 3,000 now, and most of them are the elderly, weak, sick and disabled.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about archers. This strong archer draws a strong bow and shoots the arrows. The force of the arrows shot is completely different from the weak soldiers pulling the bow and the arrows shot.

The soldiers responsible for fighting sacks are equipped with iron armor. Unless those arrows hit the vital points, they are shot on them, just like tickling them.

As the moat was filled smoothly, the ladders also crossed the moat and reached the bottom of the city wall. The soldiers controlled the mechanism and put the ladder firmly on the city wall.

"kill!!!"

The swords and axe players who had been waiting for a long time roared and climbed the ladder toward the city wall.

On the city, the Han army was in a mess.

Sun Jing stood with a armor and held a sword. He shouted from time to time: "The athletes, our wife and children are all behind. The Liang army is strong and will definitely kill after entering the city. For our home, we will do our best to defend the city. As long as we keep for three days, reinforcements will arrive from north to south to Wuxian."

Jingzhou and Yangzhou are remote, and Sun Jian’s propaganda about Liang Jun is quite demonized. There are terrible rumors about how Zhang Xiu can eat living people and massacre dozens of cities.

The soldiers believed Sun Jing's words quite convinced, so everyone gritted their teeth and braved the arrows to defend the city.

but.

After all, it was just a mantis arm that was driving a car.

Although Yu Gu is not an outstanding general, he is also above level. His elite soldiers are extremely powerful. Although Sun Jing is capable, how can he defend the city of Wu County with three thousand old, weak, sick and disabled?

The fight lasted only half a day.

After halfway through the afternoon, Sun Jing was pulled left and right and left Wuxian in a mess, walked through the west gate of the city, and fled here.

After breaking the city, Guan Gu was happy for a while, but soon calmed down. He handed over the matter of cleaning up the city walls to the generals. With several of his staff, he came to Sun Jing's county magistrate's study room and sat down.

"Everyone. I set out from Yanzhou and don't know the situation in Jiangdong. Now Zhou Tai is leading ten thousand elite soldiers to Dantu, and Lu Xun has five thousand elite soldiers on the way back to Wuxian."

"I have heard of Zhou Tai's bravery and good at fighting. Although Lu Xun's reputation is unknown, His Majesty once told me that this person should not be underestimated."

"So. I plan to change the previous layout. I will naturally lead about 15,000 elite soldiers to guard Wuxian. The other ten thousand elite soldiers will be divided into two units to guard Songjiang and Jiaxing respectively."

"But even so, I am still worried. What if Cao Cao divided his troops to retake Wujun?"

"So. I plan to lead a large ship to Xuzhou to lead the troops from Xuzhou to cross the sea and work with us."

Guan Gu raised his head, his voice loudly and his pronunciation was very clear.

The staff were in a state of chaos. Once the sea boats were allowed to go to Xuzhou, if something happened to them, they would not be able to escape and would be doomed.

Some people wanted to persuade him, but when they saw that Guan Gu looked firm, they didn't dare to say more.

Seeing that the staff had no objection, Guan Gu nodded with satisfaction. He immediately sent people to disperse the counties and troops to convey the order to assemble.

In addition, Yu Gu also took the initiative to move forward as a county magistrate. He was one of the few generals who opened the government and established the ranks, and led the independence of 30,000 navy. There were many aides in the shogunate. Although he could not do it himself, he could just let the aides do it.

The staff released a list of people to comfort the people, summoned local tyrants and provided pensions. Liang Jun quickly gained a foothold in Wujun in a short period of time.

If it weren't for the threat from Zhou Tai and Lu Xun, then Daliang's rule in Wujun would be as stable as a rock.

The next morning, it was already bright.

The Wuxian city has been treated simply, but the blood still remains, and the smell of odor is stinking in the air. The flags of the character "Han" on the city have been removed, and replaced by the flags of the character "Liang".

The people of Wu County have become Daliang people in the blink of an eye.

It was when I woke up and became an emperor.

noon.

In the county magistrate's study, Huo Gu sat in the main seat, listening to Chen Ning, a native of Beihai, who was a staff member, who was a native of Beihai, read for him. He knew his words and read official documents, but this classic of the Han Dynasty, citing classics cannot be understood simply by understanding the words. Huo Gu did not read by himself on weekdays, and the staff members would read for him. When he encountered something he didn't understand, he would ask the other party to explain it.

At this moment, a personal soldier walked in from outside. Chen Ning immediately put down the book in his hand. Guan Gu looked up and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your soldiers captured Lu Xun's family outside the city."

The personal soldiers replied.

"What did you say?" Yu Gu was a little shocked. When the city was broken, Sun Jing took away his family and the families of important officials, including Lu Xun's family. Why did he catch it now?

The personal soldiers had no choice but to report it again.

"Mr. Chen, what do you think?" Guan Gu raised his head and asked Chen Ning.

Chen Ning is not a top strategist, but he has some tricks to find a place in the solid shogunate.

"I have three strategies for general. I have three strategies for superiors, middles and lowers." Chen Ning pondered for a moment, then bowed his hands with a smile.

Guan Gu resisted the urge to roll his eyes and humbly asked for advice: "Sir, please teach me."

Chen Ning nodded with satisfaction, and then answered: "The worst strategy is to use Lu Xun's family as a threat to force Lu Xun to surrender."

"Zhongce is to seize Lu Xun's family and not to express his feelings to the outside world."

"The best strategy is to send troops back to Lu Xun."

Guan Gu frowned and shook his head and said, "Let's go to Zhongce. This threat is not good, and it may be counterproductive. Without further indication, let Lu Xun understand in his heart that he can just hold on to the army."

Chen Ning shook his head and said seriously: "My suggestion is the best way."

"Why?" Guan Gu was slightly stunned and asked curiously. This made no sense to capture Lu Xun's family and sent someone to send it back.

"Your Majesty said that Lu Xun is not an ordinary person. Your Majesty will definitely increase the use of such a person. The general will return his family to Lu Xun now, which will be helpful to the general's career."

Chen Ning took a deep breath and said sincerely.

Guan Guqiang resisted interrupting Chen Ning. He was not a person who ruined major events for his career. If it was beneficial to the country, then what if he offended Lu Xun?

"Secondly, since Lu Xun's family ran away with Sun Jing, why were we caught? This proves that Lu Xun's family did not intend to escape with Sun Jing and ran away from the middle. Doesn't this prove that Lu Xun is kind to us? Now we repay our kindness and return our family to Lu Xun. I promise Lu Xun will remain unmoved."

Chen Ning smiled and told him his reasons.

Yu Gu was stunned for a moment, then slapped his hands and said very admiringly: "What sir said makes sense." After that, Yu Gu raised his head and looked at his personal soldiers and said: "Did you hear it? Send someone to return Lu Xun's family to Lu Xun. Remember to be more respectful and don't do anything rude."

"No." The personal soldiers agreed and turned around.

Guan Gu quickly threw this matter away, but after this interruption, he had no intention of listening to the book. He took out the battle map, called Chen Ning over, and the two of them studied the map.

Zhou Tai's elite soldiers arrived soon.

After Cao Cao received the news, he might also send troops to seize Wu County.

Before the Xuzhou soldiers arrived in Wujun, they had to deal with this matter independently.

.............

After Lu Xun led his troops south, he soon arrived at Kuaiji County. When Guan Gu attacked Wu County, although Sun Jing sent people to quickly go south to chase Lu Xun.

But when Lu Xun received the news, he had already entered the mountain and started to attack the rebellious mountain. After hearing the news, he immediately withdrew his troops one after another. It took five days to reach the border area of ​​Wujun, and set up camp on a mountain called [Baihu Mountain].

There is not much food and grass in Luxun Camp now, but fortunately, with the support from Kuaiji County, there is no problem with food and grass.

But what to do next is a difficult situation for Lu Xun.

In the big tent.

Lu Xun was wearing white clothes and sat upright in the main seat. He looked down at the map on the table and fell into deep thought.

Judging from the current situation of the investigation of horses, there are about 30,000 Liang troops. It is really amazing to go deep into the army alone.

What's even more terrifying is that although the Liang army went deep alone, it did not come to the enemy country. Many powerful Wujun countries have clearly expressed their support for the Liang army.

In addition, many of them accepted the seals of the Liang Dynasty, which were considered to be the Liang army's non-partner army.

Although there is Zhou Tai in Wujun, he has a total of 15,000 elite soldiers. However, it is unlikely to conquer Wujun in a short period of time.
