When he learned that Sun Quan had entered Chaohu, Wang Ling, who had been well prepared, immediately led his army from Shouchun and went south to support Hefei New City.
Hefei New Town is built on Jiming Mountain, where two large water streams originate.
Although the origins of these two water flows are in this area, their flow directions are exactly opposite.
One line runs from north to south and flows into Chaohu Lake, which is called Shishui.
After Sun Quan led his army into Chaohu Lake, they could go upstream along the Shishui River and arrive at the foot of Hefei New City.
The other one flows from south to north, passes through Shouchun, and flows into the Huai River, which is called Feishui River.
Shouchun's Wang Ling can also lead the charge against the tide of fertility and support Hefei New City.
Even though Wu's boat masters were much stronger and faster than Wei's.
However, the defenders of the new city could hold on for at most three or four days, which would be enough to support the arrival of Shouchun's army.
It has to be said that Manchong's vision in selecting the location of the new city was indeed unique.
Only this time, I don't know whether Wang Ling's support was too fast or Sun Quan's advance was too slow.
Wang Ling has led his army to Hefei for two days. Even the fortifications at the foot of Jiming Mountain are almost completed, but there is still no sign of Sun Quan.
"Reporting to the Governor, according to spies, Sun Quan has been staying in Xiaoyaojin these days and seems to be gathering troops."
"The Wu invaders made a large-scale invasion this time. The army did not gather together for a while, but it makes sense."
There are also some concerns:
"Commander, Sun Quan is delaying in arriving. Is it possible that there is fraud?"
Wang Ling smiled coldly:
"Even if he is deceitful, can he still avoid Hefei and Lu'an?"
Now he has led the army to Hefei, forming a horned force with Lu'an.
No matter which direction Sun Quan's main attack is, they can all echo each other.
Although Wen Qin, the prefect of Liu'an, was at odds with him, Wen Qin could be regarded as a loyal minister of the Wei Dynasty.
Wang Ling believed that he would not abandon the overall situation because of personal grudges.
Besides, the one who controls the army now is himself, not Wen Qin.
Even if Wen Qin is passive and lazy in fighting, there is no need to worry too much.
To aid or not to aid, when to aid, how to aid, the initiative lies with oneself and not with others.
After the war, you can even go to the court again to prove that Wen Qin is indeed not suitable for guarding the border, and ask the court to recall him, which will just fulfill your wish.
Of course, if Wen Qin is not too stupid, then he should guard Liu'an and not give himself this opportunity.
"As for Sun Quan's delay in arriving," Wang Ling sneered, "Isn't that normal?"
"When Lu Xun attacked Lu'an, Sun Quan personally led the army into Chaohu to attack Hefei to support him. What was the result?"
"Man Boning just sent people to pretend to be in the area of Chaohu and Shishui, so that Sun Quan could not move forward."
"As a result, Lu Xun had to face the danger of being cut off from his retreat, and he missed a great opportunity to capture Lu'an."
Having said this, the sneer on Wang Ling's face became even more intense:
"The land of Hefei has probably become a hurdle that Sun Quan cannot overcome."
"Especially in the past, I was beaten to death by Zhang Wenyuan. If he arrived at Xiaoyaojin and didn't wander around for a while, I would feel that it was not normal."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone on the left and right laughed.
Sun Quan repeatedly failed to attack Hefei. In addition, Hefei moved to a new city and was built on the mountain. It was no longer on the edge of Chao Lake as before, which was conducive to the performance of the Wu boat division.
The fine cavalry of the Wei Dynasty could not cross the river, so how could the Wu boatmen go on land to attack the city?
If they want to attack Hefei New City, they must abandon ship and land.
When did the fine cavalry of the Wei Dynasty fear the Wu people on land?
"Send the order to expand the camps around Hefei and dig more trenches. If Sun Quan doesn't come, we will not stop."
"Even if Sun Quan brings 100,000 troops, I want to see how he captures Hefei."
"Here!"
As the main force of the Wu army, Sun Quan was still lingering at the entrance where Shishui poured into Chaohu Lake, while Zhuge Ke, as the partial force, marched quickly.
He received part of the troops from Stone City, including the student army from Han Dynasty.
Then without pausing for a moment, he directly led the fleet up the Wanshui River.
After traveling on the waterway for a while, they disembarked at a certain place, and then led the army through the stone pavilion, trailers, and stones, and entered Shu County in the Wei Kingdom.
At this time, Shu County was already an abandoned city.
Because when Zhuge Ke first came to station troops in Wankou, he took advantage of Wei's unpreparedness and attacked Shu County, plundered the people of Wei and returned.
After these years of management, Zhuge Ke's troops repeatedly crossed the border, forcing Wei to move the people on the border into the interior and away from the border.
Therefore, this area of Shu County is already considered a no-man's land.
This kind of thing is already commonplace on the Wei-Wu border by the river.
Zhuge Ke was familiar with the terrain in this area. He allowed the rushing army to rest and reorganize temporarily, and then sent scouts to go north.
After confirming that there was no Wei army to intercept in the north, Zhuge Ke immediately ordered his army to break camp and attack Lu'an.
Within three days, Wu Jun had already arrived at the gate of Lu'an City.
"Besiege the city and cut down the trees!"
Although Zhuge Ke was a headstrong man, it must be said that he was indeed talented.
Over the years, he has been training troops and working in the fields in Wankou.
At this time, the soldiers below received the military order and immediately followed the order in an orderly manner.
In order to prevent Lu Xun from following in his footsteps, Zhuge Ke specially sent people to set up camp in the north to prevent the Wei army from coming from the north.
At the same time, troops were sent to drive away the native people in the north of Lu'an City to prevent them from leaking any information to the Wei army who might come over.
"This isn't right!"
Luo Xian, Fu Qian and others who followed the army had a small camp alone.
At night, Fu Qian and Luo Xian discussed:
"When I came from Stone City, I paid special attention to it. This time the Wu people went to war, there may not be less than 100,000 people, and the supplies carried by their fleet are immeasurable."
"Mr. Ma also said that the people of Wu stationed all the food and grass supported by us Han in Stone City just to attack the Wei thieves this time."
"Anyway, the Wu people have mobilized their troops this time. Isn't it a little reckless for Zhuge Yuanxun (Zhuge Ke) to march like this?"
What Zhuge Ke led was a partial division. He advanced too aggressively and was out of touch with the main force. It would be easy for the enemy to take advantage of him.
"Logically speaking, Sun Quan must gather his army at Chaohu before attacking the city. Judging from the current journey, unless Sun Quan is traveling as fast as Zhuge Ke."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid we may not be able to reach Hefei City now."
Luo Xian wanted to be more cautious. He nodded in agreement with Fu Qian's statement, and then said:
"But then again, Zhuge Ke can be regarded as the leader of the young generation of the Wu Kingdom, and he is more like a teacher than a teacher."
"Although this is an exaggeration, I heard that he has guarded Wankou over the years and has made many military exploits. If the rumors are true, I am afraid this man is indeed a talented person."
"He is doing this now, but I don't know if he is doing it on purpose or because he is eager to achieve merit?"
Fu Qian pondered for a moment and said:
"I feel that Wu Ren's actions may be deceptive."
When Luo Xian heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
"Think about it, although we came here with the Wu people this time, they shouldn't be able to let us go into battle. They just let us follow them to train their ships."
"According to this reason, Zhuge Ke will not put us in danger unless they don't care about those who are still learning to ride and fight in the Han Dynasty."
Fu Qian analyzed it in detail:
"If not, it would be better for us to follow them to Chaohu. There will be more opportunities for boating there and it will be safer."
Luo Xian sighed:
"It's a pity that we have no way of knowing Wu Jun's secret."
"It would be good to deduce it..."
"Right……"
This time, the student camp followed us, saying that we were practicing boat maneuvering skills.
But since landing on the Wanshui River, they have been regarded as a logistics army, urging civilians and auxiliary troops to transport food to the front.
This is also expected. Since they can't go into battle, instead of sending them to the front of the battle to watch the battle, it's better to transport food at the back.
Unexpectedly, after a few days, Luo Xian and Fu Qian felt more and more that something was wrong.
"Why is there so much food and grass?"
"Furthermore, the Wu army has been moving forward in a steady stream. In the past few days, are there tens of thousands of them?"
Luo Xian and Fu Qian looked at each other and said in unison:
"Ming repair the plank road!"
"Secretly cross Chencang!"
At this time, Zhuge Ke, who was stationed on horseback at the foot of Lu'an City, looked at the soldiers surrounding Lu'an City tightly, with a smile on his face.
I saw him raising his whip and shouting:
"Send the order and attack the city!"
Although the siege equipment was not completely ready, it did not prevent him from testing the defense situation in the city first.
In contrast, Wen Qin, who was standing on the tower of Lu'an City, had a slightly solemn look on his face.
For him, who has always been arrogant, to show such a look can only mean that the situation has exceeded his imagination.
"The people of Wu are deceiving! This is not a partial attack at all. The real purpose of the Wu invaders is Liu'an!"
Although I don't know what the situation is in Hefei, judging from the news that came into the city before the siege, Sun Quan's return to Chaohu was intentional.
After thinking about this, Wen Qin's heart tightened.
Looking solemnly at the Wu army who were gathering to attack the city, he knew that the Wu invaders were testing the enemy.
So Wen Qin asked the deputy general to guard here, while he turned around neatly and walked down the tower, mounted his horse and ran to the west gate.
It is obvious that the key directions of the Wu invaders are the south gate and the east gate. The troops here are much thinner.
"Come here! Open the city gate!"
"Bang the drum!"
Wen Qin ordered Chang Shi to lead his army to guard the city, and he personally led an elite cavalry army to rush out of the city.
The Wu army had just completed the siege of the city, especially on the west side, and had not even completed the most basic camp.
Not to mention that they never expected that the defenders in the city would dare to rush out on their own initiative.
"Form up, form up!"
Although some Wu Jun generals reacted and screamed.
But Wen Qin was leading fine cavalry. As soon as he left the city, he immediately urged the horses to speed up, not giving the Wu army time to react.
Hundreds of elite cavalry arrived in an instant with guns raised.
A group of Wu troops that had just been assembled were scattered before they had time to form a formation.
The infantry, which were completely unprepared, were suddenly charged into the formation by the cavalry, just like a paper lake.
Wen Qin took the lead, rushing left and right, dancing with the halberd in his hand. Wherever he went, the Wu soldiers gave way one after another.
Those who failed to get out of the way were either stabbed to death or knocked down.
"I am the champion general of the Wei Dynasty, Wen Zhongruo, who dares to fight with me!"
Wen Qin had a violent nature and a face full of violence. Now that he roared like this, the Wu soldiers did not dare to come near.
The Wei cavalry who were following him were all excited to death when they saw how brave their general was. They howled and urged their horses to follow Wen Qin.
The west gate of Lu'an was the last place that the Wu army surrounded. With few troops and no preparations, they could not organize a decent counterattack.
Even if there were brave men in the army who wanted to fight with their guns, they were no more than a mantis trying to block a cart. The armor on Wen Qin's body was not even touched, and he was blocked by the guards around him.
Several halberds passed by, blood lines floated up, and people flew out like rags.
Wen Qin took a look at the Wu army's flag, rushed over, jumped up on his horse, took his halberd, and struck hard.
The flagpole made of bamboo cracked and fell down.
"The general is mighty!"
All the Wei soldiers shouted loudly and their morale was high.
When the Wei army on the city wall saw the Wu army's flag fall, they beat their drums harder and harder.
Wen Qin led the fine cavalry and rushed across the border of the Wu army's camp, then turned around and rushed back again.
On the Wu Army side, seeing the flag fall, they lost all courage and no one dared to stop them.
The huge camp made Wen Qin feel like he was in a deserted place.
It was not until Wu's soldiers fled in all directions that Wen Qin led his fine cavalry to re-enter the city.
The long history came down from the city wall and greeted him personally at the city gate:
"The general is so powerful that he can defeat the thieves with a single charge, and the Wu invaders are intimidated!"
Wen Qin laughed, turned over and dismounted, ignoring the blood all over his body:
"I know today that Zhang Wenyuan defeated Sun Quan!"
Wen Qin already had a good reputation in the army. At this time, the officers and soldiers in the city were greatly impressed when they saw his bravery in defeating the enemy.
Although there were many Wu invaders outside the city, the soldiers in the city finally felt a little more at ease.
"Urgent report!"
The defeat in the west of the city soon reached Zhuge Ke:
"Report to the general, it's not good, the Wei thieves suddenly rushed out from the west gate, especially the leader of the thieves, he is very brave."
"Our army was unprepared. All the camps on the west gate were destroyed and all the camps were defeated."
"The Wei thieves took the opportunity to send out cavalry and broke out eastward. Judging from the direction, they thought they were heading to Hefei to report the news."
"Um?"
Zhuge Ke was watching the first wave of attacking Wu troops being overwhelmed by the arrows fired by the Wei troops at the top of the city. He was unable to raise his head and was frowning.
When I heard the news again, I was immediately furious:
"Who is the leader of Ximen? Tie him over here!"
Soon, the disheveled Ximen Ling will be tied up by Wu Hua Da and brought to Zhuge Ke.
"I asked you to surround the west gate. Before the army attacked the city, you were defeated at the hands of the thieves. This is destroying the morale of the army. You should be subject to military law!"
"Come here, push him out and kill him! Tell the leaders of all camps, whoever dares to underestimate the enemy again will be an example!"
Everyone thought that this person was just receiving a dozen or even dozens of military sticks. At most, he was temporarily stripped of his position as an army leader and allowed to perform meritorious service.
I didn't expect Zhuge Ke to be so cruel.
"General, have mercy on me, general, have mercy on me!"
The guy who was dragged out kept struggling and shouting loudly.
"General..."
Someone wants to stand up.
Zhuge Ke swept over coldly:
"Whoever dares to plead for mercy will be guilty of the same crime!"
After a while, the severed head was brought over. When the generals saw the bloody head, they felt awe-inspiring.
Some people originally thought that if they couldn't capture it, they would probably plunder the people around Lu'an, which would be a big gain.
But at this moment, this thought disappeared.
This Zhuge Yuanxun is not a polite person.
When he defeated Shanyue, he once said that he should not harm the mountain people who took the initiative to come out of the mountain.
Someone just saw that a certain mountain leader was pretending to surrender, and in order to prevent him from causing trouble, he tied him up in advance.
Unexpectedly, he was executed by Zhuge Yuanxun for violating the ban.
It seems that this time the siege is very different from the past.
