It was Lu Xun's troops who took the lead in attacking.
Regardless of his responsibilities or war deployment, he is always responsible.
And we still have to attack it with all our strength.
Because whether his offensive is fierce or not is directly related to Zhu Ran's victory or defeat, and even whether he can return alive.
There is no way, if his offensive is weak and sluggish, and he cannot contain all the 30,000 troops of Guanxing in the North Bashan Road, then Guanxing will most likely transfer some troops to block the water valley and return them to Zheng Pu's control, so that he can have more troops.
The advantage is that it has a basis for making plans.
That scarred person is a serious problem for our Wei Dynasty!
Zheng Pu, who had the same ability as a filial and straightforward planner in the past, has made the Wei State fear him like a tiger in recent years; now that the Wu State and Bashu are fighting each other, it is natural to prevent him from becoming "a major problem for Wu".
However, both Lu Xun and Quan Cong were disgusted with this offensive.
Because they all know that this is a battle destined to be impossible to break through and unwinnable.
Even after Sun Quan received a reply from the Wei State that he would send troops to assist in the battle, and Zhuge Rong's troops who had attacked Zhuge Jin's troops from Jingnan Public Security Bureau were transferred again, and they had a combined force of 40,000 soldiers, there was still no victory or defeat.
Turnaround.
There is no other reason.
There are few Wu troops who can fight to the death without retreating, so they are not good at attacking fortresses.
The Han army was completely opposite.
They are especially good at fighting in the mountains. They have 30,000 soldiers guarding the Bashan North Road, but the 40,000 Wu troops are certainly not a problem!
But Lu Xun and Quan Cong had to attack.
Before ten months in early winter, Sun Quan quietly visited Xiangyang City in a warship.
At that time, Sun Quan, Lu Xun, Zhu Ran and Quan Cong, the four most important monarchs and ministers in Jiangdong, had a discussion and came to a conclusion that could help the Wu Kingdom recover and recuperate.
In this battle, we can lose another 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers!
It sounds incredible.
How can one plan to lose one's own soldiers before the war reaches its peak?
But that's the truth.
The reason why the Han army temporarily ignored Wei, a life-and-death enemy, and raised troops to attack Wu was that Wu had betrayed its alliance.
But as qualified decision-makers of the temple, they all knew the deeper reasons for the Han army.
It is because the Han army has regarded Wu State as an obstacle to entering Guanzhong.
Therefore, in order to use the strength of the whole country to compete with Wei, they wanted to put aside their worries first.
Under such circumstances, if Wu Guoru still retains its strength, the Han army will not stop.
Even if all the three eastern counties were occupied by Bashu and the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, the Han army would also march to Xiangyang and even Jiangling City!
From the perspective of Wei State, the reasons are roughly the same.
Today's Wei State wants to sit back and watch the conflict between Han and Wu, hoping to gain some advantage.
Therefore, they would not have the intention to send troops to attack the Han army and provide support for the Wu state until the state of Wu was severely damaged by the Han army, or until both the Han army and the state of Wu suffered heavy losses.
This is an infinite loop.
It was a three-party game, and both Han and Wei looked forward to the damage to Wu, so things became inevitable.
Therefore, in the planning of Jiangdong's monarchs and ministers, since the matter is unavoidable, in order for Wu to still have the hope of competing for world supremacy in the future, they should try their best to cause all three parties to suffer heavy losses!
The method is very simple.
Just go with the flow and sacrifice the lives of 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers, so that when the Han army gets what it wants, it will also suffer a lot of casualties, and then let Wei see the opportunity and send a large army to join the battlefield!
At that time, Wu will be able to fade away from this war.
After all, Jiangdong has been hit hard.
When the Han and Wei Dynasties saw that Wu's national power was severely damaged, they naturally would not regard Wu as a threat.
The previous war between Han and Wei for Guanzhong will also be anxious.
This is the price Jiangdong must pay for giving up the alliance with Bashu.
And Sun Quan did not regret it.
Because this is also the price Jiangdong needs to pay to maintain the situation of the three kingdoms in the world.
The occasional hint of melancholy when he sat alone in the dead of night was that it was too early for him to give up on the covenant.
If, at that time, he had waited for the decisive battle between Han and Wei in Guanzhong, and their main forces were almost exhausted, and he could reach a consensus with the Wei State, he might be able to save the Wu State from suffering a little loss.
However, things are not absolute.
What if the Wei State's Yongliang army was defeated by the Han army in one battle, causing Chang'an to change hands?
If this is the case, if the voice of "Han Zuo is endless" spreads in the world, Jiangdong will not even have the chance to give up the covenant!
It's done now, so let's not think about the past anymore.
With such an awakening, Sun Quan handed over the command of the war to Lu Xun and others and rushed to Jingnan.
As Zhuge Rong's troops moved north and the three counties in the west of Jiaozhou were captured by the Han army, people in Jingnan and the four counties in the east of Jiaozhou were a little panicked, and they needed him to stay and comfort them.
Late winter in December.
Lu Xun and Quan Cong, who learned that Xiahou Ba's troops of the Wei army had entered the Ziwu Valley, beat drums and gathered their generals, supervising the soldiers to watch the Han army advance towards the camp.
"In this battle, there is no other plan but to fight to the death!"
There was no impassioned oath, nor was there any inspiration that this battle would be won. Before the attack drum sounded, Lu Xun only said this to the generals of his troops.
But neither he nor Quan Cong stayed in the rear to supervise the battle.
Instead, under the escort of the tribe, he personally came to the 500-step front of the Han army camp.
The intention is obvious.
He and Quan Cong's troops will take turns attacking like other generals and their soldiers.
As the number one member of Wu's army, he personally went into battle, which naturally inspired his Jiangdong soldiers to be determined to die.
Therefore, as soon as the war started, it went straight into the heat without even being tested.
The person who served as the vanguard of the Wu army was Liu Zan, who had captured the new city of Hefei in the Huainan battlefield and was promoted to the general of the Northern Conquest.
He was always willing to die in battle, but he still burst out with the generosity and heroism in his heart, leading the soldiers who were willing to fight to the death to play the prelude to death.
Naturally, no matter how much he sacrificed his life, he could not let the Wu army break the Han army's camp on the first day of attack.
However, with his unyielding example of leading by example, the rest of Jiangdong's generals could no longer preserve their strength or could not bear to suffer too many casualties under their command, so they also moved forward bravely.
Therefore, in just one day's attack, the Wu army suffered more than a thousand casualties.
Even the troops of Lu Xun and Quan Cong each lost dozens of lives in battle.
I have to say that Wu Jun was very decisive this time.
Even Guan Xing, who was guarding the camp and finally got his wish to fight fiercely with Jiangdong, felt a little surprised.
Didn't it mean that Jiangdong was not good at attacking fortified areas and his soldiers rarely had the spirit to fight to the death?
Why is the Wu army attacking today different?
These soldiers of Wu Army, who have heard the drums and are unparalleled, and are still shouting and fighting fiercely in the face of locusts' bows and crossbows, can be called an elite division!
Could it be that the thief Wu Zhizi Jin is not here?
Or maybe those Jiangdong rats think that I am a dandy who got the position by relying on the merits of my fathers, so they attack regardless of casualties in the hope that I will fear the battle?!
