"Open the city gate?" The guard was surprised by Sun Jing's order. He stared at Sun Jing with a pair of puzzled eyes, waiting for Sun Jing's answer.
Sun Jing said sternly: "Stop talking nonsense and do as I say."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Although the guard was surprised by Sun Jing's answer, he liked this task very much. The Chinese army outside the city was too powerful. If they persisted, they would die without a burial place.
Opening the city gate was a wise choice. In this way, they could escape.
The guard descended from the tower and ordered people to open the gate.
When the gate of Chaisang City slowly opened, Sun Jing had already walked down from the city tower, summoned four personal guards, said a few words in the guards' ears, and the four guards nodded.
, his face became very serious.
Outside the city, Zhang Liao saw that the gate of Chaisang City was completely open. He was first surprised by the opponent's lack of resistance, and then he saw Sun Jing, the king of Guiyang, walking out of the city gate with several followers, and sneered.
One sound.
Yan Yan and Tian Yu galloped over, and when they came to Zhang Liao's side, Yan Yan asked: "General, what do you mean by this? Are you giving up resistance and surrendering to Kaicheng?"
Tian Yu said: "Chaisang is an important military city of the Wu State. As the King of Guiyang, Sun Jing is a royal relative of the Wu State. How could he surrender so easily without any resistance? There must be fraud in it."
Yan Yan made an assessment and said, "Did Zhuge Liang's strategy fail? He failed to lure the tiger away from the mountain. There is a large army ambushing the city, and they are just waiting to kill us when we relax our vigilance and enter the city?"
"It's possible, otherwise why wouldn't Sun Jing resist? General, I'd like to go and get Sun Jing's head first. If there is an ambush, there's no way they won't just sit back and ignore Sun Jing," Tian Yu said, cupping his fists.
Zhang Liao heard Yan Yan and Tian Yu's secret guesses, and said with a smile: "Perhaps it is because they fell into the trap of diverting the tiger away from the mountain. There are not many defenders in the city, and once our army attacks the city, even if
There are reinforcements coming from the river bank, but it is of no use. Under a strong attack, our army can easily capture Chaisang within a few moments. Therefore, it is better not to resist and avoid too many killings."
"What the general said is also a guess, but whether the other party really surrendered or deliberately lured us into a trap requires some guessing, and we cannot draw a conclusion. In order to ensure the period, the general is willing to take Sun Jing's head first to test it.
The other party is telling the truth." Tian Yu brought up the old story again, and this time his voice became relatively tough.
Zhang Liao said: "No need. If Sun Jing opens the city and surrenders, if you kill him, I'm afraid the officers and soldiers in the city will be angered, and the people in the city may not surrender, and a civil uprising will be triggered. I think Sun Jing really surrendered, no
I am willing to let the officers and people in the city suffer. You all return to the left and right wings. I know what I have in mind and have made my own decision. Just raid the formation on the left and right wings."
"Yes, General." Yan Yan and Tian Yu were helpless. Seeing that Zhang Liao did not listen to their opinions, they were a little unhappy. They turned their horses and went back to their respective places.
Zhang Liao said to the lieutenant behind him: "Pressure the formation."
"promise!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Liao single-handedly rode forward to face Sun Jing and the other five people.
After meeting each other twice, Sun Jing paid homage to Zhang Liao and said: "Sun Jing, the king of Guiyang in Wu Kingdom, met General Huya."
"Your Majesty is a member of the royal family, but Liao is just a warrior. Why did he receive such a great gift from your Majesty? Liao was ordered by our emperor to collect firewood, and there was a large army behind him. He had the emperor's orders and responsibilities, so he could not dismount his horse to pay homage to the prince.
, do this right away
I'm sorry, I hope your lord will forgive me." Zhang Liao spoke impeccably, his eyes fixed on Sun Jing and the four strong guards behind him. All five of them were carrying weapons. They lowered their heads and held their fists, asking him to
I can't see the appropriate expressions on the faces of these five people.
Sun Jing did not raise her head and continued to speak humbly: "The general led the army here. I already know what is going on. Even if he resists, how long can he resist? So, he simply opened the city gate. The general opened the city gate.
After entering, I will
Having become a minister of the country's subjugation, although he will not become a prisoner of his subordinates, he will not still be a king. Therefore, in comparison, he is not as noble as the general. If the general is just a warrior, then I guess I can't even raise the title of the general.
The shoes don’t even match anymore.”
"Your Majesty is too self-effacing, but Your Majesty is very self-aware, hahaha..." Zhang Liao suddenly laughed.
Just when Zhang Liao was laughing the most happily, Sun Jing and the four guards behind him suddenly raised their heads, their eyes full of anger, their faces very ferocious, and they quickly pulled out the long sword hanging from their waist with their right hand.
The sword stabbed Zhang Liao together.
Yan Yan, Tian Yu and the officers and soldiers of the three armies of Huaxia Kingdom all screamed after seeing it, and they all shouted in unison: "General, be careful!"
"Herod..." The lion under Zhang Liao was suddenly frightened and let out a long hiss. He also took a few steps back, vowing to protect his master from harm.
Sun Jing and others were very close to Zhang Liao. Five long swords suddenly struck Zhang Liao who was laughing with cold light. Zhang Liao's laughter stopped suddenly, his face became gloomy, and he suddenly used the flaming knife in his hand, directly
After holding the five long swords, and then forcefully holding the five long swords apart, there was a horizontal slash. All five long swords were broken wherever the flaming sword passed. It was indeed a treasured sword that can cut iron like clay.
Sun Jing and others were all surprised. They did not expect Zhang Liao to be prepared. In this way, Zhang Liao had seen their intention to assassinate them nearby.
The five men did not make any pause. Although the tip of the sword was broken, they threw the broken sword towards Zhang Liao. Unfortunately, as soon as they made the move and before they could throw it, more than ten arrows flew quickly and penetrated their bodies.
arm.
After five painful screams, all five broken swords fell to the ground. Zhang Liao Yanyan and Tian Yu led the cavalry out and hurriedly surrounded Sun Jing and the other five people, stabbing with spears.
Then he killed all four guards except Sun Jing.
At the same time, a cold light flashed in front of Sun Jing as fast as lightning, and Zhang Liao's flaming knife was already placed on Sun Jing's neck, and the force stayed firmly, not injuring Sun Jing at all.
"Kill me." Sun Jing looked heavy, holding her injured right arm with her left hand, blood dripping continuously, and said these words lightly with one side of her face.
"It's easy to kill you, but it's a pity that I'm not that stupid. You want to use your death to arouse the anger of the defenders and people in the city, and then make them defend the city to the death to resist our attack, so as to win the arrival of reinforcements.
Time, right?" Zhang Liao sneered and asked.
"Now that you know everything, I have nothing to say..." Before she could say anything, Sun Jing stretched her neck and hit Zhang Liao's flaming knife, hoping to kill him.
It's a pity that Zhang Liao had already seen through his mind, so how could he let him die so easily? As soon as Sun Jing had his thoughts moved, Zhang Liao had already withdrawn the flaming knife and shouted loudly: "Tie him up and let him live no matter what."
!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldier got off his horse, took out the horse rope, and tied Sun Jing up.
Later, Zhang Liao used Sun Jing as a threat, rode his horse to the city, and shouted to the defenders in the city: "You have to wait for a quarter of an hour to surrender, otherwise I will kill you without mercy."
Seeing that Sun Jing's assassination failed, the guard was tied up. For fear of being implicated, he hurriedly said to his subordinates: "The Chinese army is very powerful. We are afraid that it will be difficult to resist. It is better to surrender the city in order to protect ourselves."
Everyone expressed their willingness to accept surrender, and followed the guard out of the city to surrender.
Zhang Liao accepted the surrender and immediately led his troops to occupy Chaisang City. He also strictly ordered the army not to harass the people and only ordered the army to guard the four gates to prevent the Wu army from arriving.
At the same time, the Chinese navy, under the leadership of Zhang Qianhe Hehe, borrowed the ships of the Wu navy, once again followed suit, put on the clothes of the Wu navy, pretended to be defeated by the Huaxia navy, and fled back in embarrassment.
Wu's navy camp had ten thousand soldiers and horses. Seeing that their warships had been beaten and fled back in embarrassment, they sent fleets to attack everywhere to cover the retreat of the fleet. However, how did Wu's navy know?
This was a strategy. After Zhang Qian led the vanguard fleet's disguised soldiers to enter the Wu Kingdom's naval camp, they immediately launched a rebellion and occupied the navy camp. Then they counterattacked and attacked the Wu Kingdom's navy from behind.
The Wu State Navy was attacked from both sides, and the navy camp was also occupied, and it suddenly fell into chaos. The Chinese Navy's ballistae was put to use. Under the attack of the ballistae, the 10,000 Wu State Navy held on for less than an hour before announcing
collapse
After the defeat, the hull of the warship was in pieces, and there were numerous pieces of broken wood floating on the river. The corpses of many Wu sailors were floating on the river. The blood completely dyed the waters red, and it was really like a river of blood.
.
The Chinese navy lost dozens of large and small warships due to the tenacious resistance of the Wu navy, and thousands of people were buried in these waters.
After the battle was won, Hexia was responsible for cleaning up the battlefield. Zhang Qian asked all ministries to report their numbers. After two battles, the 80,000-strong navy actually lost one giant warship, six large warships, and a medium-sized assault ship of more than 8,000 people.
There were actually thirty-four ships. It was truly a tragic victory.
Later, Zhang Qian asked He Qia to guard the naval camp, while he led a small group of cavalry to Chaisang City to meet Zhang Liao and report the results of the battle in person.
In Chaisang City, there was no joy after the victory. Instead, there was a sense of heaviness, and the whole sky became increasingly gloomy. When Zhang Qian arrived in Chaisang City, there was a heavy downpour in the sky, probably because of the loss of life in the past few days.
Feel sad for the soldiers.
"General, the navy of the state of Wu has completely collapsed. Our army has entered the camp of the navy of the state of Wu. However... only when attacking the camp of the navy of the state of Wu, our army also suffered heavy casualties due to the tenacious resistance of the navy of the state of Wu." Zhang Qian said.
After saying this, he told Zhang Liao all the damage to the warships and combatants.
After Zhang Liao heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Although the two navy camps of Chaisang and Chaisang deployed by the state of Wu were destroyed, judging from the fact that the navy of the state of Wu refused to surrender and resisted tenaciously, the navy of the state of Wu did not surrender.
Not as weak as we thought. This battle is the first time our army has fought
The reason why the Wu army was successful in fighting was not a head-on confrontation, but a sudden attack. If you have to face the Wu army head-on in the future, I am afraid it will be a tough battle. Everyone should be mentally prepared and do not let down your vigilance.
, waiting for the emperor’s further instructions!”
"No!" all the generals replied in unison.
"In addition, there is no news about the 20,000-horse infantry army led by Chen Wu. Zhou Yu's subordinates are all elite troops. Although there are only 20,000 people, they cannot be underestimated. We are just waiting here for news from Xunyang. Only
Only when Chen Wu's troops, Xunyang, and Chaisang are eliminated can we consider the real victory." Zhang Liao said worriedly.
At that time, Sun Ce divided Wu's army into two war zones: the east and west. Sun Ce personally led 150,000 troops in the east war zone, most of whom were Shanyue people, so they were good at land warfare. Since the time of Sun Jian, the Sun family began to train naval forces in Poyang Lake.
It was not until Zhou Yu took over that the navy gradually began to take shape. It was Zhou Yu who single-handedly trained the navy into shape.
, selected 100,000 soldiers, 60,000 as the elite for water warfare, 40,000 as the elite for land warfare, but there are 150,000 soldiers and horses in the Western Theater, and the other 50,000 are scattered in Changsha, Guiyang, Lingling and Jiaozhou. But in Xun
There are 100,000 regular troops in Yang and Chaisang. It can be seen that Zhou Yu regards this place as the first line of defense against Huaxia.
However, Zhou Yu never dreamed that this time, almost 100,000 troops would be completely disintegrated in less than two days. These were the elite troops he relied on.
In Xunyang City, Zhuge Liang called for the scouts and asked, "Is there no news about Chen Wu yet?"
"Not yet." The scout replied.
After a while, Zhuge Liang called the scouts again and asked, "Is there any news about Chen Wu now?"
"Still not."
After that, Zhuge Liang asked every quarter of an hour every time, and asked three times in a row, but there was still no news about Chen Wu. At this time, Zhuge Liang suddenly couldn't help but wanted to scold his mother, and wanted to scold these people in the intelligence department for not trying their best and even Chen Wu.
There is no news at all about Wu.
Zhuge Liang anxiously walked around the hall. Ever since he received a secret report from Xunyang last night that Chen Wu led an infantry army of 20,000 horses out of the city, there has been no news. Even Zhang Liao successfully occupied Chaisang.
Chen Wu still had no news at all, and he became a little irritable in his anxiety.
Suddenly, a scout strode in, panting and saying: "Master Qi, Chen Wu... Chen Wu has news..."
Zhuge Liang hurriedly said: "Speak quickly!"
The scout took a breath, opened his mouth and said smoothly: "Your Excellency, after Chen Wu left Chaisang City last night, he rushed all the way to Xunyang, and his subordinates followed closely along the way. But at night
Encountered a very rare
Due to the thick fog, my men lost track of them for a while. It wasn't until the fog slowly dissipated this morning that he, together with the scouts in that area, found Chen Wu's traces. Chen Wu didn't know why, but he actually changed his direction and headed towards
Went east towards the mouth of the lake."
"Hukou?" After hearing this, Zhuge Liang immediately felt a sense of discomfort and hurriedly shouted, "Bring the map quickly!"
