Yang Zhao made unfavorable progress in Xiling and was blocked by Changwei.

Xu Yin's navy was of course no match for Jiangdong's navy.

The situation suddenly reached a stalemate.

All kinds of disadvantages make Yang Hu somewhat pessimistic about this strategy.

However, God's will still favored the Jin army at this time.

Relying on the long siege, Lu Kang used his weak troops to block the infantry alliance internally and reject Yang Zhao externally.

But getting into a confrontation is often a time when we get into a bitter fight.

Wu generals Zhu Qiao and Yu Zan were discouraged about Soochow's future and led hundreds of troops to surrender to the Jin army.

Yang Zhao was overjoyed. Both of them were senior generals under Lu Kang's command and knew the truth and falsehoods of the Wu army very well.

When he sent word to Yang Hu, Yang Hu was also overjoyed.

Thinking that this was a good opportunity to defeat the enemy, he personally led a large number of troops to join forces with Yang Zhao, hoping to capture Changwei in one fell swoop.

The surrender of Zhu Qiao and Yu Zan dealt a huge blow to the morale of the Wu army.

The autumn rain continued continuously, and the entire Wu Kingdom was swaying in the wind and rain.

Lu Kang inspected the surrounding armies in the cold rain. The followers around him were all discouraged, and the soldiers felt as if they were mourning for their heirs. However, Lu Kang's face did not look discouraged, and he was as gentle and calm as usual.

"The situation is unfavorable. It is better to evacuate Lexiang and defend the south of the Yangtze River." Zuo Yi suggested.

Although the Wu army built a long siege, their troops were not strong enough to defend them all. They were always weak and strong, mixed with barbarian soldiers.

Now, the morale of the Yi soldiers is even lower, and many people are whispering.

"Many people have escaped in the past few days." Wu Yan was a little more depressed than before.

The Jin army plus the Bu brothers in Xiling City were nearly four times as powerful as the Wu army.

Yang Zhao alone made it difficult for the Wu army to defend. If Yang Hu's 50,000 troops under Jiangling City rushed forward and coordinated with the rear to attack from both inside and outside, how could they defend a long siege?

Moreover, the Wu army also had to defend the entire Yangtze River defense line.

Lu Kang's eyes swept back and forth among the barbarian soldiers, whose eyes were evasive.

Suddenly, Lu Kang laughed, "This is a God-given opportunity!"

All the generals were at a loss.

"Qiao, I praise the old officials in the army who know my truth and weakness. I have always worried that the Yi soldiers are not simple. If the enemy attacks, they must attack here first!" Lu Kang pointed to a section of the siege road defended by the Yi soldiers.

This is also the weakest point of the defense line.

Wu Yan immediately understood what Lu Kang meant, "Is the Governor planning to set up an ambush here?"

"That's right! The Jin army is not in harmony and must fight quickly. Zuo Yi, Wu Yan, and Cai Gong will obey the order and each lead a thousand elite soldiers to replace the barbarian soldiers. The survival of the country depends on this battle!"

"Take your orders!"

The autumn rain was getting heavier, but Wu Jun was cheered up by Lu Kang and waited patiently.

The next day, Yang Hu indeed led his troops, with a total of 60,000 troops, and launched a fierce attack.

Yang Hu also attacked in the east and west, attacking other fortresses first.

Yang Zhao was secretly ordered to lead 20,000 elite troops and wait for the opportunity.

But all of Yang Hu's plans and actions were fooled by Lu Kang. No matter how fiercely Yang Hu attacked, he could not control the three elite troops of Zuo Yi, Wu Yan and Cai Gong.

At the most dangerous moment, Bu Chan led his troops out and attacked from both inside and outside. Lu Kang went into battle with his sword and led his bodyguards in a bloody battle.

The battle lasted from noon to dusk.

Both sides were exhausted, and there were piles of corpses under the long perimeter.

Many generals were full of doubts about Lu Kang's arrangements.

But Lu Kang just didn't change his mind.

Sure enough, at dusk, the Jin army's drums and horns were beating loudly.

Yang Zhao led 20,000 elite troops and Zhu Qiao and Yu Zan suddenly rushed out and went straight to where Zuo Yi, Wu Yan and Cai Gong had set up an ambush.

The autumn rain rustled, and Yang Hu stood in the wind and rain like the soldiers.

The fate of the country in the Central Plains actually lies in this battle.

Defeating Lu Kang and capturing Xiling blocked the Qin army's eastward path.

Then he used all his might to encroach on Soochow.

Use Soochow to make up for the Central Plains, and then decisively defeat the Qin army in the east and west.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered his days in Guzang.

Although I feel a little apologetic, for the sake of my family, I can only do it for Si

The Ma family has fulfilled its duties faithfully.

Looking around, Yang Zhao's attack was extremely smooth.

The elite of the Jin army had climbed up the fortress, and it seemed that the Wu army was really tired.

After all, they only have more than 20,000 troops. It is unexpected that they can resist until now.

It's just that it's too quiet on the fort.

Yang Hu's heart suddenly shook, "No, it's an ambush!"

Almost at the same time, it was like a muffled thunder exploding all around.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Countless swords and spears suddenly thrust out, and countless crossbow arrows came like a rainstorm, setting off waves of blood. The more than a thousand Jin troops who were the first to scale the city wall instantly fell into a pool of blood.

The crowd roared like thunder, and the war drums shook the sky.

The three armies of Zuo Yi, Wu Yan, and Cai Gong charged out with great ferocity. Someone with a ring-shou knife jumped directly from the wall that was as high as one person into the enemy group, hacking several people to death, and then was hacked by the Jin army.

die.

Although the Wu army had few soldiers, everyone fought for their lives.

Yang Zhao had many soldiers, and he thought he could easily pick them up, but he was hit head-on.

Lu Kang also led elite troops to besiege from the west.

The Jin army was defeated like a mountain.

Yang Zhao was afraid of the Wu army's power and led his troops to retreat.

The generals of the Wu army wanted to pursue them, but the Lubu brothers of Lu Kang led their troops to fight out. Then they beat drums, waved flags, and made the soldiers shout.

The Bu brothers did not dare to attack.

Yang Zhao was even more frightened and abandoned his armor, attacking Yang Hu's rear army.

Lu Kang pursued them again with light troops, and the Jin army was defeated miserably. Yang Hu was also trapped by the defeated army.

Above the Yangtze River, there are ships thousands of miles away, and sails and boats like clouds. They compete with each other. Ding Feng's navy arrived at Jingzhou waters before Sima Min's cavalry.

The advantage of the Jin army was gone, and Soochow took the advantage.

Governor Yang Hu could not do anything, and due to the difficulty in transporting military supplies, morale was low, so he ordered the troops to return to Xiangyang.

Lu Kang led his troops to surround Xiling, and the Bu brothers became turtles in a urn.

By December, the land anti-supervisor army captured Xiling.

All the old and weak members of the Bu family were slaughtered, so all the old officials and generals were from the barbarian tribes. Thousands of corpses were floating on the river.

Except for Bu Ji and Bu Xuan who were sent to Luoyang as hostages, everyone else was driven out and killed.

Later, Lu Kang requested an order to pardon tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city.

At this point, all the power in Jingzhou of the Eastern Wu Dynasty fell into the hands of Lu Kang, and the number of people under his command increased greatly.

The war between Jin and Wu started hastily and ended hastily.

Inside Yongan City.

Battle reports from Jingzhou came one after another.

Luo Xian complained: "If this war breaks out in a year, our army will surely take the opportunity to advance eastward! Linghu Zijun relies on His Majesty's old ways... and insists on going his own way."

The strategy was right, but the timing was not.

Ding Fengshui's army arrived in Jingzhou, which meant that the war was over.

Even if Sima Nian's 50,000 cavalry arrived, they could only look at the river and sigh.

Similarly, the Qin army could not gain any advantage in front of Ding Fengshui's army.

What's more, Lu Kang's talent in this battle shocked the world.

The 30,000 Wu army defeated the 80,000 Jin army and broke through the Xiling garrison of 30,000 troops. Every move of the Jin army was anticipated by Lu Kang.

A bright star streaked across the night sky of the Three Kingdoms.

Du Yu was not surprised by this result, "This battle is not meaningless."

"Oh?" Luo Xian was surprised.

"Soochow can never be decided in one battle, and Yang Hu's lesson must be taken as a warning."

If you rush into battle, you can only run away.

Luo Xian nodded in agreement, "Although Sun Hao is tyrannical, the country is not unpopular."

Du Yu said: "The governor of Linghu returned to Chang'an, and he also returned to Chengdu to train soldiers, train naval forces, save food and fodder, and build warships. Although this battle is avoided, there will be civil strife in Soochow in a few years. There will always be an opportunity.
