Chapter 34: Battle of Jiangbei (10) Deng Ai takes a detour to defeat Ruxuwu!
On the Yangtze River, Biyan'er's "Feiyun" warship is heading towards Wuchang City, with Generals Sun Jun and Quan Cong guarding Biyan'er.
Behind him were two hundred thousand large and small battleships carrying an army of 200,000 troops. At this time, Bi Yaner was so majestic and majestic that he looked like the Emperor of Soochow...
Biyan'er looked serious and said: "Ahem, cough, Ziyuan, Zihuang, this battle is of great significance to our Soochow. If we win, our Soochow will have great hope of unifying the world. If we lose, it may be catastrophic for the next few years."
Years, even decades, there will be no further Northern Expedition.
We can only stick to Jiangdong. In this battle, I have used Jiangdong's old foundation. I look forward to the return of the two generals victoriously. I also hope that the two generals will not disappoint my high expectations. After all, Jiangdong in the future will still rely on people like Zhu Qing.
From the younger generation!"
Quan Cong quickly raised his hands and said: "With your Majesty's trust, I will be the vanguard. I will defeat the Wei army for your Majesty. I will take the head of the Cao thief and present it to your Majesty! Cough cough cough."
After Quan Cong said this, he started coughing. He quickly took out a handkerchief to cover his face and started coughing. It was obvious that he was not in good health.
Bi Yan'er said with concern: "You still have to take care of yourself!"
Quan Cong said: "I would like to thank Your Majesty for your concern. I just feel cold occasionally. It doesn't matter. As soon as the war breaks out, my illness will be cured without any treatment!"
Biyan'er pointed at Quan Cong with a skinny finger and said, "Zihuang, this old boy, is still as excited as he was when he was young. Whenever there is a battle, he gets excited!"
Sun Jun also held up his hands and said: "The general must go all out to prevent Cao's thieves from flying out of Jingzhou, and let the rivers and lakes of Jingzhou become the burial place of Cao Wei's army!"
One day after sailing, Sun Wu's army had arrived in Wuchang. Biyan'er smiled and said: "The two generals will disembark and board the warship. They will lead 170,000 Jiangdong men to ambush Jingzhou. I will lead 30,000 troops in Wuchang City."
Sit down and hold a celebration banquet with the old general Lu Dai to wait for the two generals to return in triumph!"
Lu Dai raised his hands solemnly and said: "Please, two generals, the rise and fall of Soochow depends entirely on this battle! If we win, I will lead the horse and whip for the two generals!"
Sun Jun and Quan Cong, wearing armor, disembarked at Wuchang Ferry, transferred to the "Yuhuang" ship, and led an army of 170,000 to Jingzhou.
Watching the 170,000 troops gradually disappearing from sight toward the west, Biyan'er said with a heavy face: "Shiyi, can you tell me how sure we are of winning this battle?"
Lieutenant Lu Ju of the Yue Cavalry School raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, if you fight for this, our Soochow will definitely be able to kill the enemy army just like the three battles of Chibi, Shiting and Yiling. The enemy army will be defeated and the whole army will be wiped out. Your Majesty."
Just wait with peace of mind in Wuchang for the news of the victory of the three generals!"
Bi Yan'er listened to what Lu said and nodded with satisfaction, but there was still a trace of uneasiness in her heart that could not go away. In this big bet on the fifth day of May, she bet most of Soochow's net worth, and Cao Wei also bet one hundred thousand.
army,
Fortunately, Soochow is in the dark and Cao Wei is in the light, so there is a better chance of winning. Moreover, Soochow's navy is invincible in the world. What else do I have to worry about? Biyan'er keeps giving herself psychological hints. Since it has already
After sending troops, we can only wait for the final result with peace of mind.
Lu Dai personally welcomed Bi Yan'er to stay at Wuchang Palace. Everyone saw that Wuchang Palace was adjacent to the Yangtze River in the north, Yanglan Lake in the south, Hutou Mountain in the east, and Xishan Mountain in the west.
Looking west from Hutou Mountain, the overall outline of King Wu City is rectangular, with a circumference of about 900 feet. The city has five gates, all named after directions: East Gate, West Gate, South Gate, and North Gate. Among them, there is an extra gate in the west, named
"Liujin" leads directly to King Wu's garden and scattered flower beach.
There is Wuchang Palace in the city, and there is a palace city around it. In the palace city, there is the Jinluan Hall, Taiji Hall, where Sun Quan gathered his ministers when he became emperor, the Concierge Hall where sacrifices were held and guests received, and the Anle Palace, where Sun Quan lived, and other major buildings. This battle
Biyan'er will be anxiously waiting for the battle report from ahead...
Sun Wu's troops at Ruxuwu, Zhang Te and Deng Ai, with a total of 35,000 men, were changing warships to attack. However, this place was too dangerous. It took three days, but 5,000 people were killed and injured before they could be destroyed.
Take it.
The location where Ruxuwu was built, Ruxushuikou, is a water inlet between Ruxu Mountain in Dongguan Town, Hanshan County, and Qibao Mountain in Huanglong Township, Wuwei County. This water mouth also has a special meaning, that
It is the exit of Chaohu Lake. Chaohu Lake is where Emperor Wu trained his navy. When Emperor Wu sent his navy to attack Soochow, he could not avoid Ruxukou.
In addition, Ruxukou is very dangerous. Ruxu Mountain and Qibao Mountain are facing each other. Although it is not appropriate to describe it as "one man can guard the barrier, ten thousand people cannot open it", but it can be described as "one ship can guard the barrier, and ten thousand ships cannot open it".
, but it couldn’t be more appropriate, especially after Ruxuwu was built in Soochow.
Between Qibao Mountain and Ruxu Mountain, the water flow is fast and the terrain is steep. As a result, the trackers who usually pull the boats have no place to stay. Only a huge rock on Qibao Mountain can barely allow people to stay.
The Ruxuwu built by Lu Meng of the Eastern Wu Dynasty is shaped like a crescent moon, surrounding this big stone from a high position.
This is also the result of the high hopes of Zhou Yu and Lu Su, the two big men of Soochow. After careful study, Lu Meng finally suggested that Sun Quan build a dock at Ruxushuikou. Soochow only needs to aim its bow and arrow at this big stone, and Cao Wei's army
, it is difficult to cross the thunder pool even half a step,
This is just like how Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, could not leave the Ziwu Valley. Since ancient times, it has been difficult for many people to pass at the same time. Only one person can pass through at a time. As long as a good man is ambushed at the exit, it is simply one man guarding the gate, and no one can open it. Kill one by one.
Don't ever think about it. Even if Emperor Wu holds 200,000 troops, he can't even think of passing through Ruxukou. He can only drool while looking at the land of Jiangdong.
The geographical advantage of Ruxukou caused Cao Cao's army, which was supposed to attack Jiangdong with a devastating force, to be blocked at the gate of Jiangdong, and fell into a stalemate with Sun Quan's army.
Although Emperor Wu relied on his clever brain and the strategies of his advisers to win and lose in several months of battles of wits and courage with Sun Quan, he could no longer guarantee victory in the war south. In the end,
We had no choice but to withdraw our troops.

The same is true this time. This is when Soochow Wu dispatched 200,000 troops to the direction of Jingzhou. If the Soochow army comes to help, Zhang Te and Deng Ai's 35,000 troops may not all be defeated here... Deng Ai thought that since attacking by water was not feasible, he would turn to attack by land. Both sides of Ruxuwu were captured by our Wei army. Why not continue the feint attack from the water with a pair of men and horses to attract the Wu army, and then send two more troops to follow?
On land, go around the two sides of Ruxuwu to the back of Qibao Mountain and Ruxu Mountain, and attack the Wu army in a sneak attack. You will surely win this dangerous pass!
Deng Ai had a plan in mind, so he smiled and said to the two generals Zhang Te and Le Fang: "Two, two generals, finally, finally have a plan to break Ruxuwu!"
Zhang Te and Le Fang all raised their eyebrows. This hard nut was finally about to be chewed off. They said in unison: "If Shi Zai has a clever plan, please tell me quickly!"
After that, he told the two generals what he just said in his heart, and asked the two generals to cooperate with him to attack Ruxuwu.
The Commander-in-Chief of Ruxu at this time was Zhongli Mu's brother Zhongli Heng. Zhongli Heng had been dazzled by his brother's death and his eyes were red with murder. Zhongli Heo sternly said: "Shoot all the Wei troops to death for this Commander-in-Chief! You can't do that!"
Let a Wei army pass!"
The two of them had no other better strategy, so they followed Deng Ai's suggestion. Le Fang led 20,000 people to continue the feint attack from the waterway, while Deng Ai and Zhang Te each led 5,000 people to bypass Qibao Mountain and Ruxu Mountain and sneak up the mountain.
, came out from behind Wu Jun.
Deng Ai said: "General, soldiers, charge for me, General!"
Arrows rained down, and the Wei army on the surface of Ruxuwu also began to attack fiercely again. Under the attack from the front and back, Zhongli Peng was caught off guard and was hit by arrows. He fell to the ground. After a stick of incense, the soldiers stationed at Ruxuwu
Ten thousand horses,
More than half of them were killed or wounded, and only two thousand defeated soldiers fled back to Jiangdong by boat. Even the body of the general Zhongli Peng had no time to collect it, so it was left to the Wei army...
