However, this is not Hu Zhi’s deliberate calculation of Weizi. After all, he is also responsible for it. However, Hu Zhi is very clear that even if there are reinforcements from other places, this Yinling City can’t stand long. Jingzhou Army’s attack on Huainan Zhucheng is menacing, not to mention that the pawn has been directly threatened by Zhou Yu. Zhong Li is not easy to deal with at present.
And Hu Zhi didn’t forget that Taishi Ci still led a team to Dangtu Yinling. If Taishi Ci directly cut off the Yinling clock from the road, there would be only one road to Dongcheng in Yinling. If Jingzhou Army cut off this road again, wouldn’t it be a turtle in a jar?
Thought of here, Hu Zhi couldn’t help but "bah" and said that he was really out of his mind. Where did he scold himself so much?
"General, the enemy is in a hurry to attack the city. The soldiers in the South Gate suffered heavy casualties. Please ask the general to dispatch reinforcements quickly!" A cavalry commander who was covered in blood stumbled to find Hu Zhi, and it seemed that he was even unstable like that.
Hu was surprised and turned to ask, "Is the situation so bad?"
The cavalry commander nodded with a bitter face. "The enemy has attacked the city several times without fear of death. I am afraid that the south gate would have been occupied by the enemy!"
When Hu Zhi heard this, he had to muster his troops and go to the south gate city head to personally refuse the enemy, but suddenly he stopped and sent the riding commandant back first. "You wait a little longer and I will lead the troops out of the city to attack the enemy!"
"This ….." Riding a commandant stare blankly in situ some disbelief. Looking at Hu Zhi, he didn’t expect Hu Zhi to lead the troops out of the city, but now the situation is critical and there is no other way. After he staggered away from Hu Zhi, he called more than 200 cavalry and 100 elite soldiers, and asked a Ministry to bid for Chengtou to lead this more than 1,000 centaur procession.
Looking at slowly opening the gate, Hu Zhi couldn’t help but hold the spear in his hand. This time, he went out of the city because of the situation. If Jingzhou army keeps on storming Chengtou, I’m afraid it will soon be attacked by the enemy. If it can suddenly kill a surprise, it may be able to gain less and reduce the pressure on Chengtou.
There is no moat outside Yinling City, but the Jingzhou Army found Huang Gai. After hearing the news, it was slightly surprised and was about to send troops to attack the city gate, only to see that the cavalry of Jun had fought outside the city.
When the former Jingzhou army arrived in the city, Cao Jun was shut out of the house. Huang Gai didn’t have any carelessness. Now, when he saw that Cao Jun suddenly came out, he had to personally lead the troops out of the city to kill Cao Jun and go to Ling Tong. When he saw it, he ordered the siege soldiers to temporarily retreat and regrouped, which was messed up by Cao Jun.
Huang Gai is not good at horse fighting. Seeing that Jun is not far away, he quickly reined in his horse and turned to hold the pike and rushed at the enemy. Unexpectedly, Hu Zhi led the cavalry to rush over, but the horse swept around the city, but the horse galloped and rolled up a cloud of dust. When Huang Gai’s door found that the enemy had killed the city, he almost didn’t throw the pike as a short halberd.
"Thieves stop!" Huang Gai yelled at a horse and didn’t ride a horse. He chased the cavalry ass of Jun, but just after rushing out a few steps, he saw a lot of Jun soldiers pouring out of the gate. He didn’t chase the cavalry with a bite of his teeth and rushed to the gate with his department.
Huang Gai led hundreds of elites to rush to the gate without Chengtou defenders’ disorderly arrows, which just blocked Jun from killing the sky near the gate for a while.
"General, the enemy has cut off our rear road!" Chasing Hu Zhi, a guard, looking back, suddenly scared the daylights out of him and shouted at Hu Zhi in front of him.
Where does Hu Zhi have the time to take care of the posterior road? What’s more, since he led his troops out of the city, he didn’t intend to go back from the original road and continue to sweep along the city. The Jingzhou army, which was attacking the city, was caught off guard and fled to the array.
"Destroy all these ladders!" Hu Zhi’s longitudinal horse hunting hasn’t forgotten to let the Ministry destroy Jingzhou Army’s ladder. At this moment, his heart is big and smooth, and he has just attacked Jingzhou Army several times. Now he can’t see himself and run?
When the defenders of Chengtou saw it, they cheered and shouted that their morale had risen.
When Ling Tong saw this, he sounded the golden bell and retired, and Huang Gai fought for a while. Seeing that Cao Jun was fighting to the death near the city gate, he did not retreat from his own side and exposed Chengtou. The enemy archers also had to return to the array angrily.
"Hum, I underestimated the quality of this beard." Huang Gai casually tore off his armor and said to Ling Tong, "How many soldiers were killed or injured?"
Ling Tong frowned. "The casualties of the soldiers are not so much that the ladder was damaged."
"I didn’t expect Hu Zhi to dare to leave the city before World War I, but he was careless." Huang Gai was a straightforwardness. He made no secret of his mistakes. Seeing that his siege ladder was indeed destroyed by Jun, he couldn’t help but sink a way: "Return to the camp first and make the ordnance battalion speed up the ladder."
After the Jingzhou army retreated, Hu Zhi also returned to the tower to hold the railing, and the excitement gradually faded when he saw the enemy slowly retreating.
The surprise attack out of the city was just the biggest gain, or the siege equipment of Jingzhou army was destroyed, but there was not much damage to Jingzhou soldiers’ horses. It was necessary for the enemy to create another batch of ladders and come to siege sooner or later.
But now that you have decided to give up Yin Ling and win this period, it is quite good. Now Hu Zhi is most worried that Taishi Ci came to besiege Huang Gai and his more than 5,000 troops have not besieged Yin Ling City on all sides, but it is hard to say if Taishi Ci came to it.
After hearing about this, Weizi rushed to the tower without asking about the situation in detail. He asked Hu, "Will the enemy troops retreat because of this setback?"
Hu shook his head with a wry smile and said to him, "I’m afraid it’s not that easy. I just led my troops out of the city, but I destroyed the enemy ladder and other things, and actually didn’t kill many enemies."
Hearing him say this, Weizi’s face flashed with disappointment, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and said, "Even so, General Hu needs to step up his guard."
"Fu Jun, don’t worry. After this World War I, Jingzhou Army was afraid that it would be the law to attack the city again in two days." Hu Zhi thought that Taishi Ci and his men threatened, but he didn’t say it after thinking about it, but he just insisted on two more days.
However, on the second night, Wei Zi received a secret signal from Yu Jin to defend Yin Ling. He should not give up easily. Supposedly, Yu Jin is the new governor of Guangling and Wei Zi is the same level, but Yu Jin also has Wu Zhi’s current military order to Wei Zi. After learning that Hu Zhi will be meaningful, he will be able to learn from it. Is it necessary to panic in Yin Ling City with Huang Gai and his men?
☆ Chapter 31 Crossing the Chuhe River at night and smelling the enemy.
The Chuhe River is flowing, and it is particularly loud in the silent night. Here is a beach full of half-people, tall reeds, swaying gently with the night wind in the hazy moonlight.
However, the silence of the night was broken by a whisper, and reeds appeared in black shadows on the river. As the torches were lit one after another, it could be seen that they were narrow boats. However, seven people clung to the side of the boat and carefully paddled short wooden paddles, so that the boats sailed out of the boat in the dark from the reeds, and there were many torches at a glance.
The water is wide and the current is not so fast. However, these boats have different shapes, cabins, sailboats and many soldiers, and there have been several accidents.
If the foot soldiers who fall into the water are good at water, they will beat the river and shout "help". One of the larger ships, a bow-erecting man, frowned and glanced at the water, and his expression was very severe.
"The general is so afraid that it will take genius to cross the river." A captain beside him looked back and said to him.
The silent Han just picked up the Guangling satrap, and he grabbed the bow guard and said to a captain, "Slow down, don’t worry, make sure all the soldiers cross the river."
Since Jingzhou Army launched an offensive in Jiujiang County, I feel that my shoulders have gained a little weight. For Liu Cong, I have already dealt with him. At the beginning, Wancheng Cao Jun suffered a crushing defeat. If it was not for the ban, I am afraid that Cao Cao would be in trouble. It was from which time that he was favored by Cao Cao. Now he has to be the ruler of Guangling, which also shows that Cao Cao believes in Thaksin.
The deeper Cao Cao believes in Thaksin, the more strict he is with himself. This time, Guangling satrap is also aware that it is not an easy task. Before he left, he specially consulted Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others. After arriving in Guangling, he did not idle and immediately sent many spies to infiltrate Jiujiang County and Danyang County.
Although due to the short time, the detailed investigation did not play too much, but Yu Jin had some understanding of Jingzhou army movements, especially Jiangdong 3rd Battalion movements.
The outstanding performance of the 3rd Battalion of Jiangdong in the Shouchun War last year also made Yu Jin realize that he was going to face the enemy’s fighting power and was not lost to the elite of Jingzhou Army. In some respects, he was willing to be slightly higher. After all, over the years, Liu Cong has never relaxed his efforts to build the army.
At the beginning of last month, I learned that Zhou Yu personally led an army of 20,000 to attack Dangtu, and at the same time, Huang Gai and others led his troops to seize the West Quyang to intimidate the Yin Mausoleum, and immediately set out to prepare for it. He kept a close eye on the development of the situation and sent scouts to all parties. At the same time, those fine spies also returned a lot of news.
Judging from the situation in the Forbidden City, the main forces of Jingzhou Army are in the direction of Shouchun and Hefei, but they have left thousands of troops to defend themselves in places such as Danqian and Jiangcheng.
After comprehensive analysis of these information, Yu Jin was somewhat surprised to draw an inference that he found unbelievable. The defenses in Liyang and Fuling were extremely weak!
Yu Jin’s first feeling was that he didn’t believe him. He thought it was a trap set by Liu Cong, either to induce himself to send troops from Guangling or to induce Dongcheng to defend the south. However, when he repeatedly calculated the soldiers in Jingzhou, Jiangdong, he had to believe it
In the face of such temptation, I can’t stop myself from giving it a try. Now Zhou Yuling has more than 20,000 troops in Dangtu. No matter whether it is to attack Zhong Li or Huang Gai’s siege of Yinling together, it is still dozens of days away from Liyang-even the cavalry has to take five or six days to get back to Liyang in this winding mountain road, and it is still from Yinling. If it comes from Shouchun, the distance is even farther.
Huang Zhong’s nearly 20,000 troops have lived in Hefei, and there should be no more than 3,000 troops. How many defenders are there in Liyang?
According to Yu Jin’s inference, there are no more than 2,000 people, which is still more than 1,000 people led by Liu Cong.
Judging from the whole situation, Jingzhou army is west-oriented, east-oriented and middle-oriented. Whether Huang Gai attacked the mausoleum or Zhou Yuling led the troops to seize the clock is from west to east. This situation should be reversed.
