Chapter 840: Surrender
Chapter 840 Fake Surrender
The two armies were encircled and Xiling was blocked by water.
Trench trenches and earthen ramparts are densely packed.
Luo Xian and Yang Hu learned their lesson. When dealing with famous generals like Lu Kang, they did not play tricks and worked step by step to win with stability.
The effect is also very obvious.
Lu Kang is equivalent to using half of Jingzhou to resist the combined attack of Shuzhong, Nanzhong and Jingbei.
The Wu army attacked several times, but was blocked by the Qin army.
The naval forces in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River rushed for reinforcements one after another, but Yang Hu used the fire boat strategy to kill them and retreat.
The two of them were never greedy for merit. No matter how empty Lexiang, Jiangling, Gongan and other places were, the Qin army would never divide their troops and they would fight against Xiling wholeheartedly.
Feint attacks and strong attacks took turns every day. The Wu army in Xiling gradually couldn't hold it anymore.
Of course, the Qin army also consumed food and grass quickly.
Careful research also found that there are indeed these two people in Jiangdong.
The Qin army remained unmoved.
The city of Ye was built on the northern plains, allowing the Qin army to fully deploy its forces, but Xiling was built in the middle of the mountains. When it was in the hands of Bu Xie Bu Chan, Lu Kang could not capture it for a moment, and now it is reinforced by Lu Kang.
This city is still more dangerous than Ye City.
After half a month of stalemate, the city finally couldn't stand it anymore.
However, this kind of confrontation is not good for Wu State.
There was no room for anyone to stand on the city wall, as if even the stones were about to be burned.
There were too many forces restricting Yang Hu's back, and he was restrained. Moreover, he was not the leader of the front line. Yong'an, which Luo Xian defended, was the gateway to central Sichuan and was not as strong as Xiling.
Of course, the situation on the battlefield cannot be generalized.
Until now, he still cannot confirm whether it is a false surrender plan.
Luo Xian was an upright man, and he managed the army with both leniency and severity, and few people dared to disobey him.
The guards behind him hesitated to take the person.
"If it weren't for Lu Kang, Jiangdong would have perished a few years ago." Yang Hu has not forgotten Sima Yan's strategy of defending from the west and attacking from the south.
If you defend for a long time, you will lose. The Qin army has a psychological advantage and takes unifying the world as its mission from top to bottom.
But others won’t look at the process, only the results.
However, there were many capable men in Wu's army, so the soldiers were destroyed by the sand and dust.
"Bold! Ignore the superiority of superiors and subordinates, harm the morale of the army, and push them out——" Luo Xian glanced at him and found that the one who provoked the trouble was his nephew Luo Shang, "Behead!"
The two armies were strangled on the mountain road and on the city wall. Wu's army must have been more brave than before.
The deterrent effect of the fierce fire oil was not as great as before, and many Wu troops braved the fire and carried the sand on their backs to the city wall.
Yang Hu dissuaded him and said, "Commander, please be patient. When the two armies are fighting, if you kill the general first, his morale will inevitably be low. The young general is still young and will inevitably be impulsive. I hope you will forgive me."
The investment is small and the harvest is big. Once successful, it can turn the tide of the war.
The west side focused on defense, blocking the Qin army to the west of Tongguan, while the south side quickly destroyed the Wu State, seized the national power east of the Yangtze River, and then competed with the Qin army for supremacy.
Yang Hu shook his head, "Our army only needs to continue the siege. When Governor Huo joins forces from the south, Xiling will be attacked. Why return to danger? And the land resistance is cunning. It is still unknown who will fall into whose plan!"
With the strength of Shuzhong, there is no problem in besieging Xiling for a year or two, but Xiling will never be able to hold on for that long.
The terrain of Xiling is high and cannot be attacked by water, and the catapults are not very powerful, so they are only used for harassment, and at the same time, they are prepared to prevent the Jiangdong navy from the river from suddenly coming ashore.
Within Wu, there was Sun Hao who acted against the will, and outside there were brothers Bu Xie and Bu Chan who defected to Jin from Xiling.
The morale of Xiling City changed, and the psychological fear of the Qin army was greatly weakened.
Anyone with a bit of discernment will come out to dissuade him at this time. If Luo Shang is really killed, the gap between Xiangyang people and Shuzhong people will become wider and wider.
This move confused both Luo Xian and Yang Hu.
As soon as Menghuoyou came on stage, it gave Wu Jun a huge psychological shock.
He would rather die than roll down the cliff with Qin Jun in his arms.
The state of Wu was in a state of turmoil, and its ability to defend it for such a long time was entirely dependent on Lu Kang alone.
Of course Luo Xian would not really kill his nephew, but he also wanted to give Yang Hu a step down, "Humph, I will spare you this time. I will drag you down and beat you with thirty army sticks. Anyone who disrespects the superior will be killed without mercy."
!”
The situation now is very similar to that then.
On one side it says "The leader of the traitor Chen Dai" and on the other side it says "The leader of the traitor Zhu Ming".
"This must be Lu Kang's plan!" Yang Hu had already suffered a loss. In the Battle of Xiling that year, Zhu Qiao and Yu Zan surrendered, leading the Jin army into the Wu army's ambush circle, resulting in Yang Zhao's defeat.
Ten thousand troops defeated 80,000 Jin troops.
Moreover, Soochow's fake surrender strategy was used too many times, including Huang Gai's fake surrender at Chibi, Zhou's bream cutting off his hair to make money from Cao Xiu, and several times without success.
"The general trend of the world will not allow a continent to fight against the mantis as a chariot!" Luo Xian looked at Xiling City and said solemnly.
Luo Xianran said what he said.
"Lu Kang is indeed the best general in Jiangdong!" Luo Xian had to admire this skill.
The Qin army's fierce firepower was endless, and it became increasingly difficult to defend the city.
Even thirty military sticks are not so easy to deal with.
"Wei!" The generals on both sides looked solemn.
Not only General Xiangyang was secretly angry, but even Yang Hu couldn't bear it on his face.
The Xiangyang generals were secretly angry that Lu Kang's 60,000-strong army failed to defeat Luo Xian's 2,000 men, but they defeated Yang Hu's 80,000-man army with an army of 30,000.
Luo Shang has a backer, but they don't. If he is found out, he won't be so lucky.
Yang Hu organized the civilians to cut down trees, build a large number of catapults, and frantically threw stones into the city.
A flag with the word "Lu" on the city wall flutters in the south wind.
It's a pity that Lu Kang turned the tide and made a brilliant appearance in the Battle of Xiling, which saved the Wu Kingdom for at least ten years and ruined the Sima family's hope of a comeback.
"Despite this, our army fell into the trap and took the opportunity to attack the city!" Luo Xian has never suffered such a loss.
Wu Liwu's general Chen Dai, Pinglu general Zhu Ming and others were willing to cooperate with the Qin army internally and externally to capture Xiling in one fell swoop and capture Lu Kang.
However, the next day, two heads were placed on a large flag at the top of the city.
Two letters of surrender were sent to Luo Xian and Yang Hu.
Chen Dai is the grandson of Chen Wu, the general of Soochow, and Zhu Ming is a member of the Zhu family in Jiangdong. They were both promoted by Lu Kang in the past two years.
The right time, the right place, the right people, and the right people are all in the hands of the Jin army.
Morale often waxes and wanes. The Wu army's morale is high, but the Qin army's morale is suppressed, and the siege becomes timid.
However, the generals on his side did not think so, "General Sheep, why should we be afraid of the enemy like a tiger? When the 60,000-strong army of the land resistance attacked Yong'an, which was guarded by 2,000 of us, we lost our troops and generals, and could not advance even an inch. Today, there is an isolated city with 20,000 to 30,000 defenders. Why?"
Are you afraid?"
Although the Qin army outside the city did not believe it, it greatly frightened the Wu army inside the city and made Wu army want to fight to the death.
But Luo Xian didn't care. Behind him was Shuzhong. Wang Jun, the governor of Yizhou, loaded the grain and grass on the ship and sent it to the front line in a few days.
"Lu Kang is the pillar of Jiangdong. In my opinion, Zhong Hui is far inferior to his military strategy. If we attack Xiling and capture Lu Kang, Jiangdong can be easily solved!" Yang Hu said in a low voice.
Zhong Hui is famous all over the world, but he has no outstanding achievements.
It was also during the Battle of Shouchun that year that Sima Zhao was blocked from the top of Mount Tai, and he escaped from death inexplicably.
In the battle of Qin to destroy Jin, the Wu army had great potential, but Zhong Hui stopped at Xuchang. He was forced into a dilemma by Du Yu, and his evaluation dropped a lot.
