Chapter 918 Breaking the Three Cities in Three Days
Chapter 918
The person Sun Mujiang sent was his own general Lian Heshan. There was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, He, Guitoujiao and several generals in the army.
The two parties held a dinner in the big tent and exchanged a few long greetings. In fact, he had never heard Lian Heshan's name before.
Lian Heshan was tall and tall, with a majestic appearance, and looked like a villain on the battlefield. Lian Heshan also expressed his admiration for Li Xing, saying that Li Xing was the legitimate heir to the empire, while Li Xingzai was just a clown in clothes.
At present, Jiangnan has to rely on the troops of Yutai City to break the situation. Yutai City also wants to cross the river and come to the beautiful and prosperous place of Jiangnan to escape the military disaster of the Rong tribe.
Both parties tried their best to promote this matter. Of course they hit it off immediately and tried their best to flatter the other party.
After the dinner, the drinks were taken away and replaced with tea. The irrelevant people dispersed, leaving only a few important people, and then we started talking about business.
"When will Marshal Hong plan to mobilize troops?" Lian Heshan asked.
"It's just in the next few days, and we will need the general's cooperation."
"Of course, as soon as Marshal Hong's troops move here, we will immediately coordinate and dispatch troops. With the combined efforts of both sides, we will definitely be able to capture Luofeng City."
"Perhaps, the company general will be the first to send troops to attack Luofeng City. Our troops will arrive later and cooperate with the company general to use troops to put Luofeng City into a situation where it is attacked from both sides."
"This..." Lian Shanhe paused, this was the first time he knew about this.
Now that both parties have had tea and wine, they can be considered friends. But what kind of existence are friends? In the eyes of the princes, friends are meant for betrayal.
Shouldn't we be used as cannon fodder...
Lian Shanhe took a sip of tea and said, "We still need to discuss this matter with my city lord."
Hong Liao smiled and said: "It needs to be determined early. As soon as the battle in Luofeng City begins, our troops will attack Longxi and Zhongli cities at the same time. The goal is to resolve the battle within three days. This battle
After that, Jiangnan will be settled."
Then he added: "The overall plan is of great importance. We have also considered letting General Lian take the lead in attacking. Our army has to cross the river to fight, so naturally it will not be convenient for General Lian."
Lian Shanhe still didn't dare to spit, and said: "I still have to report it to my city lord."
Hong Lao nodded: "Sooner rather than later."
Lian Shanhe and his party left overnight and returned to their camp to discuss the matter with Sun Mujiang.
Sun Mujiang was also shocked when he heard this. He hesitated for a while and said, "Could this be using us as spearmen?"
"My subordinates were also worried about this, so they didn't agree to them right away."
Sun Mujiang thought for a while and sighed: "Come on, come on, now we are in a desperate situation, and there is nothing we can do if we don't agree to them. At worst, we will not be able to work hard by then. If the situation is not right, we will withdraw."
Lian Shanhe's eyes lit up: "My subordinates think so too."
The situation in Jiangbei is by no means optimistic. Seeing one city after another being conquered by the Rong tribe, Sun Mujiang was like an ant on a hot pot, spinning around anxiously.
After the Rong tribe broke through the city, they massacred the city. After the city was broken, the wealthy ladies, wives and daughters of high-ranking officials in the city became the playthings of the Rong tribe. Those city lords were either beheaded or skinned... I heard that there was a city lord.
, they chopped him into meat balls and rolled on the ground. His blood flowed for a day before he died.
Sun Mujiang really didn't want this scene to happen to him, so he couldn't wait to reach a cooperation with Jiangnan.
Jiang Nan had made an offer in front of him, and he was not qualified to refuse. After waiting for two or three days, he wrote back to Hong: everything will be done according to his orders.
…
It was a white dew day, and suddenly the wind blew. The summer of this year came to an end, and a north wind swept across, sweeping away the scorching vitality of the earth and bringing a desolate coolness.
Taking advantage of the killing intent in the wind, Sun Mujiang led his troops to attack the north gate of Luofeng City.
Luofeng City is extremely small, which means it is extremely difficult to defeat. With tens of thousands of troops, the city can be defended tightly.
Sun Mujiang didn't expect to take Luofeng City easily, and he was not mentally prepared to die for Jiangnan yet.
Anyway, let's give it a try. Hong Liao is crossing the river at the moment. When his troops arrive, it will be the final moment of the decisive battle.
At the same time, beacon fires were also set off in Longxi and Zhongli cities. Two hundred thousand troops from the south of the Yangtze River moved in to attack the three cities at the same time.
In Hong Lie's idea, Fengcheng was destroyed first. Once Li Xingzai died, the enemy army would be in chaos. Then the army could support the second city of Zhongli in Longxi.
He dared to boast that he could conquer three cities in three days, which was not necessarily a big lie.
Things went more smoothly than Sun Mujiang imagined. Soon, the first team climbed to the top of the city to plant a flag, and then the north gate was breached.
In just one day, Sun Mujiang had captured Luofeng City.
Li Xingzai's team did not have a basic combat effectiveness, so they abandoned the city and fled.
When Hong Liao arrived with his army, he found that Luofeng City had changed hands. He was stunned. Things should have gone smoothly, but it was still strange that it went so smoothly.
Sun Mujiang and others were overjoyed, but otherwise, it was really difficult for them to win a victory in these years.
But when he became red, he was not as happy as expected, and the strangeness cast a shadow in his heart.
"Where is Li Xingzai?" Hong Liao asked.
"Li Xingzai and his army have already escaped. It was only after we broke into the city that I found out that Li Xingzai had already sent his children to the island. He should have already planned to escape."
Hong Liao frowned. Things were different from what he thought. Li Xingzai was not defeated this time, but gave up.
He had almost no decent defense of the city, so there was no loss. If he could leave with the army, he still had full strength.
Unless Li Xingzai dies, this war will not be considered a victory.
Hong Liao's first thought was to chase.
The army moved in full force, leaving only a small number of people to guard Luofeng City, while the remaining troops pursued Li Xingzai's troops.
Li Xingzai did not escape by land or water, he took the sea route. He took a boat to the sea, but instead of escaping to the islands in the sea, he made a circle and landed at Qianzhou City.
The Lord of Qianzhou City was startled. Could it be that Li Xingzai wanted to bring the war here? He ordered the whole city to be on alert. Unexpectedly, Li Xingzai could not get through the city. His next direction was Longxi.
Before he arrived at Longxi, Ma Chao's army stationed in Longxi was defeated by Jiangnan soldiers. Both sides came together to rescue Zhongli City.
Qi Jiguang guarded Zhongli City for the longest time, but he also lost the city before reinforcements arrived.
The forces of the three families gathered together and became a behemoth, but they had no city to defend.
There is no other way, we all run away together.
Hong Luo boasted of breaking through three cities in Haikou in three days, and he actually achieved it. However, Li Xingzai's combat effectiveness was not eliminated, and he was still like a thorn in his back.
Gather all the troops and rush behind Li Xingzai, determined to eliminate Li Xingzai.
