Chaisang is located at the northernmost end of Yuzhang County. Because it is located at the junction of Yuzhang, Jiangxia, and Lujiang counties, it is not only the western gateway to Wu but also the base for attacking Chu. It has always been a battleground for military strategists.
There are thousands of acres of lakes on both the east and west sides of Chaisang City, with Mount Lu to the south and the river to the north. However, at this period, a pass had not yet been built on the Peanshui River in the northeast corner of Chaisang City, so ships on the Yangtze River could pass through the Peanshui River and reach the bottom of Chaisang City.
That day, the sun was setting in the west and the autumn breeze was refreshing. It was a rare good weather. However, the guards on the northern wall of Chaisang were sweating profusely. The atmosphere of fear and despair permeated everyone.
heart.
No wonder they were so panic-stricken. At this time, there were ships, sterns, and fighting ships on the water. They were densely packed, covering the water, with flags and armor, and the river was full of sky. With such a military appearance and such power, who would not be brave?
If there is anyone in Chaisang City who is not afraid of Jingzhou's military power, it must be Xu Sheng.
Xu Sheng's majestic body stood tall on the top of the city. Not only was there no trace of fear on his face, but there was a faint hint of excitement.
Xu Sheng was a native of Langya, Xuzhou. Like Zhuge Liang, he was forced to flee his hometown when he was young because Cao Cao poisoned Dong Xu and lived in Wu. He was famous for his courage. Later, he was valued by Sun Quan and recruited under his subordinates. He was awarded the title of Sima of another department and the chief of guard Chaisang.
Xu Sheng originally only led 500 troops. As Liu Jing's plans for Jiangdong became more and more obvious, Sun Quan took precautions. Seeing that Xu Sheng was loyal, courageous and capable of resisting foreign invaders, he increased his troops to 2,000 and added the commander of the bandits and the superintendent of Chai.
Sang and Pengze counties.
Xu Sheng had not yet made any achievements, but Sun Quan gave him more posts and more troops. Xu Sheng was so grateful that he could only defend Chaisang to the death for Sun Quan in order to repay Sun Quan's kindness.
No other thoughts.
Of course, Xu Sheng was not so arrogant as to think that he could resist Liu Jing's tens of thousands of tiger and wolf troops with only two thousand men. Long before Liu Jing's army arrived, he had ordered people to light beacons and attack Taishi Ci and Sun Yat-sen.
Ben reported the news.
The smoke from Chaisang's beacon tower was billowing straight into the sky. Although it was blown by the wind, it did not disperse. Liu Jing was not blind, so naturally he had seen it a long time ago. However, this was exactly what he wanted. He had originally planned to kill Taishi Ci and Sun Ben.
Attract troops to create favorable conditions for Zhuge Liang.
The Jingzhou Army's warships gathered at the foot of the city. Liu Jing summoned several sergeants from the tribe who were both loud and literate, and shouted to the city: "Sun Bi, the false governor of Yuzhang, has the nature of a wolf, harbors treacherous plots, and is causing trouble in Changsha."
, This is tolerable, which one cannot be tolerated! General Annan has gathered a hundred thousand people and thousands of ships to honor the emperor's edict and comfort the people of Changsha, and to punish Sun Bi in order to Ningnan Prefecture."
"If the soldiers and civilians of Chaisang can make a clear decision between right and wrong, they should dedicate the city to the righteous cause, and our army will stop under the city without committing any crimes. If they help the tyrants and resist, the city will be destroyed and people will be killed, and there will be no regrets!"
Hearing this, the people in Chaisang City were filled with excitement. Xu Sheng became furious and said to the people around him: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you shoot him?"
The generals and commanders of the various villages organized the restless city defenders as quickly as possible and fired a hail of arrows at the Jingzhou Army warships.
Not to be outdone, the officers and soldiers of the Jingzhou Army relied on their war tents to shoot at the top of the city. Both sides fired many rounds at each other, causing casualties on each side.
"How about you guys watching Chai Sang?" Liu Jing was on a tall and magnificent ship, like a palace on the water. Pang Tong, Wang Can, Jiang Wan, Li Yan, Cui Jun, Pei Qian and other confidants were all standing on it with their hands down.
back.
Hearing Liu Jing's question, Pang Tong looked back from the top of Chaisang City and said: "Xu Sheng has never been a famous general in Jiangdong. Now that he has learned how to defend and respond, Chaisang may not be able to defeat him."
Li Yan suddenly said from the side: "It seems that Pang Sima has never seen Linchong built by the general, right?"
Pang Tong was startled when he heard this, nodded and said, "It's true that I only heard of his name, but didn't see the reality."
Since most of the siege equipment was cumbersome and inconvenient to carry, most of them were made from nearby materials and dismantled afterwards. Linchong, that is, the siege tower, is the giant among siege equipment. The Linchong that was originally built to attack Jiangling has been
destroy.
Since Pang Tong joined Liu Jing's command, he had heard people talk about how amazing Linchong's power was more than once, but he had never seen the real thing, nor had he seen the scene of Linchong's siege, so he didn't have a clear idea of it.
Li Yan said proudly: "Linchong is as high as the city and can accommodate hundreds of people. Climbing the city is like walking on flat ground. Jiangling is a famous city in the southern region. Liu Qi and Cai Mao guarded it with more than 10,000 soldiers, and the general built Linchong to attack it.
The moon will conquer it. With Jiangling being so strong, how can Chaisang City with its small number of soldiers be able to withstand Linchong's attack?"
Only weapons are not necessary. Liu Jing warned Li Yan: "Zhengfang must not rely on sharp weapons and underestimate the enemy. The weapons are just foreign objects, and people are the most important. What's more, Linchong is not without its shortcomings. Although it is covered with cowhide,
After all, it is made of wood, it is heavy and difficult to move, and it is easily destroyed by fire..."
"The general taught you a lesson." Li Yan immediately admitted his mistake.
At this time, Cui Jun said: "General, Pang Sima's worry is not unreasonable. If Chai Sang cannot retreat, then Sun Ben's troops will come from the south and Sun Quan's reinforcements will come from the east. Our army will be surrounded by the enemy. It is better to take Peng Ze first."
Chai Sang and Peng Ze are like a pair of pliers, one on the left and one on the right firmly clamping the entrance of the Yangtze River into Yuzhang. Mastering Chai Sang and Peng Ze is equivalent to mastering the gate to the north of Yuzhang.
Pang Tong's original intention was to plot against Pengze first and then Chaisang. He then said, "The enemy's troops are limited. Now that Chaisang has a large army, Pengze will have fewer troops. Our army can harvest wood and build large-scale siege equipment.
Put up a posture to attack Chaisang, and secretly send elite troops to raid Pengze. The enemy is unprepared, and they can attack in a battle. Pengze will attack immediately, and there is no danger of being trapped. At that time, he will attack Chaisang, encircle and defeat it, and there will be no doubts.
Zhang Bei."
Cui Jun, Wang Can, Jiang Wan and others also agreed with Pang Tong's strategy. Liu Jing nodded and said: "Okay, just do what Shi Yuan said and take Peng Ze first."
Liu Jing looked up at the setting sun. He must set up the camp as soon as possible, otherwise there would be a risk of being attacked by the enemy. Thinking of this, Liu Jing immediately ordered the ships to withdraw from Chaisang City.
Liu Jing first asked Liu Zhu and Su Fei to lead the navy to garrison Sangluozhou in the middle of the river. Sangluozhou is adjacent to Poyang in the south, the Yangtze River in the middle, and Leichi in the north. It can advance, attack, retreat, or defend. The geographical location is unique, so it is necessary to send heavy troops.
Impossible to guard.
Then Han Guang and Ma Zhou were asked to lead five thousand infantry and cavalry and camp in the south of Chaisang.
Finally, Liu Jing himself led Gan Ning, Wenpin, Feng Xi, Gao Xiang, Yu Zheng, Huang She, and Mei Fu to land in Chaisangbei and set up camp at the strategic location of Fankou.
Xu Sheng originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Jingzhou army had just landed ashore and was not yet firmly established, so he could recruit those who dared to die and go out of the city to attack them, in order to boost the morale of the army.
As a result, when he saw hundreds of mysterious cavalrymen disembarking from the Jingzhou Army warships, he immediately gave up the idea of attacking. The opponent had such elite cavalry. Going out of the city to attack in a sneak attack was almost as good as death. Even if he retreated 10,000 steps, even if he was lucky enough to succeed, he would not be able to attack.
It is difficult to escape the pursuit of enemy cavalry.
After several hours of hard work, the officers and soldiers of the Jingzhou Army finally built the camp at dusk, and the camp defenses were initially built. There was a moat outside, a gate, and a tower and oars inside, which were enough to withstand the enemy's attack.
