You will be outside, and your orders will not be accepted.
You can imagine the consequences of leaving a favorable voice as an invitation to destroy Hefei to serve the country and make a name for yourself.
After all, conquering the city of Hefei was the ardent hope of Jiangdong's monarchs and ministers, and it was the humiliation of failing countless times.
Zhang Xiu, Gu Tan and Gu Cheng, who were still young, immediately agreed upon hearing this and were willing to fight to the death.
As for attacking Hefei City, it was Zhu Huan's duty. They didn't care whether a rash intervention would lead to strategic mistakes or something.
They are all important ministers, and Qi Liuzan is the military governor. Why should they worry about being held accountable later if they seek the benefit of the country?
Furthermore, there is one emperor and one courtier.
As an assistant to Prince Sun Deng, Zhu Huan would not dare to go beyond the emperor to deal with them even if he interfered.
Especially they feel that the success rate of leaving likes is too high.
After carefully interrogating the prisoners of the Wei army, Liu Zan learned that the grain and fodder here would be transported to Hefei City, so he planned to select more than 400 people from the army who were willing to die, change the clothes of the Wei army's soldiers and common people in the fields, and personally led Qiao to make luck.
The grain team enters Hefei.
Gu and Zhang, on the other hand, traveled day and night, quietly leading their troops to lurk outside the city of Hefei. They waited until Liu Zan falsely opened the city gate of Hefei and stormed to seize the city, then killed them all and captured the city in one fell swoop!
Gu and Zhang did not think that the Wei army would see through the strategy of fraudulently opening the city gate.
The reason is naturally that the Wei army never expected that Jiangdong would send troops to attack twice a year, and they never expected that the Wu army would be so bold and come to deceive the city.
Besides, leaving a like leaves a way out.
Most of Wei's soldiers and horses stationed in Huainan were stationed in Shouchun.
The Hefei New City was designed to serve as an outpost and garrison. The location chosen by Manchong during construction was in front of the watershed of Feishui River (Jiangjun Mountain) and at the source of South Feishui River (the site is still there today and has been built into a park).
The city is small and majestic, measuring nearly a hundred feet from north to south and more than sixty feet from east to west. It has a moat.
It is so small that naturally there cannot be many soldiers and horses in the city.
According to previous estimates, the number of permanent residents is roughly two thousand.
Therefore, even if Liuzan's fraudulent city was discovered, they could retreat calmly and go to Yinling County to carry out their previous arrangements.
Because there were too few soldiers and horses, the Wei army did not dare to leave the city to pursue.
In fact, they made the right bet.
There are many overlaps between the Wei State's military system and the military system. For example, the family members of the military soldiers also stayed in the military system.
The Wu army detained the family members of the chief military officers of the field, threatening their lives and receiving generous rewards if the deed was accomplished, so that the peasants who did not dare to violate even half of their orders led Liu Zan and other dead soldiers to Hefei City.
At this time, farmers from other farming sites in the Wei State were also transferring grain and fodder to Hefei, and one team arrived almost every one or two days. This also made Hefei's city gate supervisors and officers slack off.
There was not much strict inspection of the grain team. After verifying the order and the farmer Sima himself, he ordered the city gate to be opened to allow the grain team to enter.
However, it's not their fault.
There was no one else within sight, and just letting a grain team of more than a hundred people enter the city, what threat could it pose to them?
Therefore, they also paid the price for their negligence.
When the heavy city gate slowly opened inward, the food team was able to cross the city wall. They were dressed in ragged clothes, and they pulled off their turbans and pulled out the short blades tied to the outside of their legs.
He sings loudly with his hair loose.
Immediately, the dead soldiers of Soochow who were hiding in the carriages of the grain team also rose up in response and suddenly came out.
The Wei army was caught off guard and was unable to resist for a while.
In an instant, Wu soldiers poured into the city, climbed to the top of the city and hacked to death the city gate supervisor, and cut off the pontoon ropes of the moat.
Hefei guard Zhang Ying heard the commotion and came with the vanguard when he heard several sad and high-pitched screams piercing the sky; he also heard the shouts of killing coming from far outside the city.
Having been stationed in Hefei for many years, he immediately understood what happened.
"Don't go to the top of the city! Close the door first! Close the door first!"
He made a plan immediately, which was also the most appropriate plan at the moment: first retake the city gate and close it to prevent the Wu army outside the city from entering, and then use superior force to kill the Wu army dead soldiers who poured into the city one by one.
However, it is a pity.
He has no chance anymore.
In a hurry, the soldiers who were staying at the military camp were unable to come; in the chaos, the soldiers who were being killed and retreating around the city gate could not hear his roar, let alone bravely move forward to recapture the city gate.
Moreover, Zhang Ying herself was helpless.
He arrived with only dozens of guards, but was attacked by the defeated soldiers, and his formation was thrown into chaos.
Liu Zan, who was always paying attention to the battle situation, also heard his roar, and Dang even led dozens of personal guards to huddle behind the broken troops and sneak in his direction.
Due to the chaotic situation, Zhang Ying had been trying to calm the panic of the soldiers and organized his troops to return to the battle, without realizing that the danger was quietly approaching.
In particular, the dead soldiers such as Liu Zan all had disheveled hair and wore the clothes of Wei Jun or Li Shu.
Therefore, when Liu Zan and other dead soldiers approached and launched an attack, his guards could not resist at all, and he was trapped in a tight siege and could not escape.
In just over ten breaths, he suffered several wounds on his body and died of regret.
"The thief will be killed!"
Liu Zan chopped off his head, raised it high above his head, and roared loudly.
"mighty!"
"The thief will be killed!"
All the dead soldiers of the Wu army should unite and shout wildly, and their morale will be as high as a rainbow.
The soldiers of the Wei army in Hefei were even less willing to fight. Even the follow-up soldiers who arrived from the military camp in the city felt like they were mourning for their heirs, and their morale collapsed.
After Zhang Xiu, Gu Tan, and Gu Cheng swarmed into the city, the battle situation was no longer in doubt.
However, Liu Zan and others did not stay in Hefei City for long, and were driven to Yinling County before dawn the next day to carry out the previous deployment.
Because Governor Zhu Huan arrived.
Zhu Huan was not lacking in generals, but his temperament had always been arrogant and he was ashamed to be inferior to others.
When he found out that his original responsibility, the important task of breaking through Hefei City, had been seized by Liuzan's partial army, he almost couldn't help but use his power to act expediently during wartime and kill him according to military law!
Later, General Quan Xu of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Zhu Ji (Shi Ji) and others persuaded him. Seeing that Liu Zan and Gu Zhang were all under the control of the prince Sun Deng, they suppressed their anger and just expelled them.
I'll give it up as soon as I leave Hefei.
Yes, both Zhu Ran and Quan Cong's sons served under Zhu Huan.
Just like Zhu Huan served under Lu Xun from his younger brother Zhu Ju, and his son Zhu Yi served under Zhu Ran, this was Sun Quan's characteristic in coordinating the troops of various ministries. He euphemistically called it: sons and nephews should have more experience and training, and they can learn from the strengths of many teachers.
Ha~~~
However, the departure of Zhuliuzan and other troops did not change the unparalleled feat of conquering Hefei (for the Wu State), which had already been achieved first.
Zhu Huan, who had been dormant for two years, could not accept his inaction in this battle.
He ordered Quan Xu to enter the city of Hefei and guard it, while Zhu Ji led his troops to camp outside the city, waiting for the arrival of Lu Xun and Quan Cong's army. Then he led the army to Shouchun with General Qin Huang of the fifth battalion as the vanguard.
