Chapter 836 North of the City (Part 1)
As Ling Tong said, just when the Jiangdong General was still discussing, Lei Yuan's troops had approached Ji Nancheng. He Qi sent envoys to inquire.
Ji Nan City is located in the east of Zhijiang City and the north of Jiangling City, which is the ruins of Yingdu, the ancient Chu State. When Duke Xuande was stationed in Jiangling, Guan Yu's troops temporarily stationed here, repaired the city slightly, and once considered building Jiangling New City here.
However, because of insufficient financial support, this plan was eventually abandoned, and Jiangling New City was placed in Jiangling Old City. In Jinan City, there were still only dense rammed earth foundations, which were of varying heights and heights. After hundreds of years or even thousands of years of wind and frost, they collapsed one after another.
Because Ji Nancheng controls Zixudu to the north and supports Jingcheng, Dangyang two fortresses, they must protect the Jiangbei passage from Nanjun to Yidu to the west, and directly threaten Jiangling to the south. When Jiangling has not changed hands, Ji Nancheng can replace its hub function, so Lu Meng sent the side general He Qi to station here.
He Qi was once called a filial and honest man by Sun Ce. He was loyal to the Sun family for many years and made many achievements. Especially in the process of conquering Shanyue, he had extremely outstanding results. He was also very good at managing industries, so his troops and equipment were extremely skilled. He took advantage of all the best materials, including oars, spears, spears, bows, crossbows, arrows and arrows.
He Qi's management ability was well developed here. He set up his base camp in Ji Nancheng. While cooperating with Ling Tong and Lu Meng's troops to attack Jiangling, he also distributed his troops to occupy important passes and quickly established various systems of transferring materials and warning the enemy. In two days, he set up several temporary camps north of Jiangling, each camp was well-built, enough to serve as a long-term stronghold.
Unfortunately, this kind of dispersed arrangement that is convenient for supporting all directions cannot cope with the enemy's storm-like attacks. He Qi's troops are almost all composed of mountain and Yue descending people, and they lack the experience and will to face the strong enemy head-on.
As Lei Yuan's troops advanced wildly, He Qi's two camps distributed to the west of Ji Nan City were instantly defeated. Two Shanyue warriors Wu Die and Yuan Yu, who served as the camp's commander, were killed one after another. At this time, the forward of Lei Yuan's troops, General Ma Dai, led the cavalry team to the south and acted as a straight attack on Jiangling. He Qi had no choice but to lead the elite troops in the headquarters to attack with the intention of obstructing them.
This idea is very good, and the initial execution was smooth. He Qi cut into the middle section of Lei Yuan's troops and divided the Qiang and Hu cavalry and the subsequent infantry team into two pieces.
However, the cavalry is a clutch and merging army. The method of using troops emphasizes the gathering of birds and the unpredictable changes. Once He Qi's troops go deeper, Ma Dai will then turn back and attack with his team from north to south in an instant.
He Qi's troops were originally quite large, but most of them were scattered in multiple camps. At this moment, he suddenly encountered a fierce battle, but he had to use a small number of troops directly under his command to resist the enemy's superior forces. He was in a hurry and was on the verge of defeat.
When Lei Yuan gathered his subordinates in Yiling, he gathered about 6,000 troops. In just half a day, these 6,000 people had defeated the troops of the four generals Xie Jing, Xu Ling, Zhai Dan and Shen De of the Wu army, and almost drilled the encirclement of Jiangdong to Jiangling. Lei Yuan's troops not only suffered minor losses, but also had high morale and strong soldiers!
Faced with this powerful army that took advantage of the victory, He Qi couldn't support it for long.
On multiple fronts, the Wu army soldiers could only try their best to maintain the queue and endure the repeated attacks initiated by the opponent.
The soldiers under Lei Yuan's command attacked like a tide, and each time they wanted to swallow the enemy and tear them apart. Even if the soldiers in the front immediately disappeared like bubbles at the top of the wave, the next row followed and continued to roar and move forward.
When these soldiers gathered in Yiling, although they had trust and expectations for Lei Yuan, it was fake to say that they were not nervous or afraid. But at this moment, when they even broke through the four armies of Jiangdong, their momentum was like a destruction, everyone's heart was filled with fighting spirit burning like flames.
What a brilliant victory this will be? With General Lei’s generosity, after this victory, the fate of many people will undergo earth-shaking changes? Even if they die in the battle during the victory, General Lei personally guaranteed that it would bring generous compensation to his family!
So what else to think about?
Seize the opportunity to kill the enemy and make contributions!
Duan Feng was flanking the battlefield at this time.
He was wearing two thick layers of armor, lowered his head, and used his strong helmet and shoulder armor to resist the sword that was flying like a firefly on the opposite side, and at the same time he used the spear he held with his left and right hands to sting wildly.
A Jiangdong soldier in front of him was instantly stabbed three or five times and fell to the ground with a terrifying slash. Duan Feng immediately took a step forward and squeezed out the space given out after the soldier fell down. In order to protect him from being attacked by the Jiangdong people from three sides, several of Duan Feng's confidants kept up, swung their swords and slashed Duan Feng's left and right sides, and suddenly made a gap.
The gap occupied by three or five people instantly attracted the attention of more Jiangdong soldiers, so they used it to gather sharp blades and fall.
Duan Feng's armor was very thick, and the sword fell on him jingling, which mostly caused sparks to slide away. He was also very skillful, and he stabbed randomly with a spear, which was very lethal. In the blink of an eye, he stabbed several people in a row and continued to go further.
This fierce fighting required a high demand for the spear. Soon the spear tip of his left spear became dull, and the spear with his right spear penetrated deeply into the stomach of a deceased and was shaking about a foot away.
Duan Feng quickly reached out to ask the team for spare weapons, but the teams who charged against him had already been killed.
He was actually trapped in a siege.
His reaction was also very fast. He grabbed a sharp sword that was stabbed tightly, and yanked it hard regardless of the blood in his hand, pulling the Jiangdong armored soldiers holding the sword to him and stabbed him twice.
But when he continued to retreat, his heel hit the dead body on the ground, and he suddenly stood unsteadily and fell to the sky.
As he was screaming bitterly, the Jiangdong soldiers in front of him suddenly collapsed. A war horse rushed over from behind them, kicking four hooves and kicking several people one after another. The horse knight hovered in his hand and instantly assassinated two Jiangdong soldiers who were intending to resist.
"Captain Duan, can you still fight?" This knight entered the enemy formation like a leisurely stroll, and it was Ma Dai.
Duan Feng jumped up with his hands and said sternly: "Of course!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhen and several entourages came on horseback.
Li Zhen shouted: "The general has an order, Duan Feng's troops turn east and occupy the platform north of Ji Nan City! Cover the army to break into Ji Nan City!"
Duan Feng was stunned, thought about it again, and then he was overjoyed: "Abide by the order!"
Ma Dai asked, "Where is me?"
"General Bozhan's troops, follow me immediately!"
Chapter completed!
