Chapter 219 Lu Ao's Crazy Idea

Chapter 218: Lu Ao's Crazy Idea

Leaving Zhongli suddenly and going south was Pang De's plan to lure Pan Qing out. Pan Qingwo was in Zhongli City and couldn't come out. Pang De had no choice but to lure Pan Qing out. What better way than attacking Yinling, Yinling hoards all the food and grass of [-] Wu troops in Jiujiang, if Yinling is breached by Deng's army, then the [-] Wu troops don't need to fight, they will starve to death. So even though Pan Qing knew that once he left the city, his entire army would probably be wiped out, but in order to keep Yinling, he had to come out.

In fact, it proved that Pound's strategy was very effective. When he knew that Pound was heading south, but in the direction of Yinling, Pan Qing in Zhongli City couldn't sit still immediately, and hurriedly led 5000 troops to stop Pound.

But this was in Pound's arms. When Pound knew that Pan Qing had left Zhongli City, he slowed down his marching speed. When Pan Qing's soldiers and horses were getting closer and closer to him, Pound suddenly He led the army to turn around and rushed towards Pan Qing. Pan Qing was shocked and quickly ordered the army to retreat, but Wu Jun was already marching in a hurry.

Pan Qing was in a hurry when he saw this, but he had no chance, because Pound's troops had already killed him, so Pan Qing had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight Deng Jun. He is not as good as Deng Jun in terms of quality, so how could he be the opponent of Pound's elite [-] Tiger Wing Guards? In addition, without any defense, the [-] Wu troops were killed in a short while, and they were in disarray. .

Seeing this situation, Pan Qing knew that he had no chance, so he gathered some soldiers around as quickly as possible, turned around and ran away, but he did not run back to Zhongli City, so he knew that the guards now The soldiers and horses of Zhongli City are all here, and the soldiers and horses that he can take out are only a thousand or so. Even if he returns to Zhongli City, he is waiting to die. Zhongli City is destined to be unable to defend, so he ran towards Yinling City Go, because Deng Jun broke through Zhongli City, the next target must be Yinling City, so he is going to organize defenses, and at the same time send a report to Dangtu City.

Seeing that Pan Qing ran away, Pang De didn't chase after him. He just cleaned up the battlefield as quickly as possible, and then led his troops to Zhongli City. More than [-]% of Zhongli's defenders were taken away by Pan Qing. Therefore, at this time, Zhongli The city defenders were less than a thousand people. Facing the tens of thousands of Deng Jun, they didn't dare to defend the city at all, so they opened the city gate and surrendered.

After Pang De captured Zhongli City, he sent people across the Huaihe River to inform Cai Mao's army to cross the river. That night, Cai Mao's 2 troops entered Zhongli City. So far, the strength of Deng's army south of the Huaihe River has reached nearly [-]. people.

"Chess miss!" Lu Ao in Tucheng sighed when he heard that Pan Qing was defeated and Zhongli was lost. The defense line of the Huaihe River, which has been in ruins for more than half a month, is useless now. Now that 2 Deng Jun has crossed the Huaihe River, the defense line of the Huaihe River is useless. Mausoleum.

So Lu Ao ordered all the troops stationed on the south bank to withdraw quickly and return to Dangtu City.

On the tenth day of April in the 16th year of Qianyuan, Lu Ao withdrew from Dangtu City with [-] troops and retreated to Yinling. On the same day, Deng Jun's [-] Tiger Wing Guards, led by Li Siye, crossed the Huaihe River and entered Dangtu City.

On April 16th, the [-]th year of Qianyuan, when Lu Ao entered Yinling City, Pan Qing immediately knelt in front of Lu Ao and pleaded guilty: "The deputy governor, the last general is guilty. He lost Zhongli City and caused the Huaihe River defense line to be completely defeated. Please The deputy commander-in-chief's punishment!"

Lu Ao didn't blame Pan Qing, he knew that Pan Qing had tried his best, although Pan Qing had done it, but the biggest responsibility for this battle was Lu Ao himself, if it wasn't for Lu Ao's arrogance, thinking that the terrain of Tushan is rough, Deng Jun would never be able to Landed here, so he gave up stationing Tushan, how could Deng Jun cross the Huaihe River under his nose.

So Lu Ao sighed, helped Pan Qing up and said, "General Pan, there is no need to blame yourself. You are not responsible for this battle. You have done a good job, but Deng Jun is too cunning. The most important thing for us now is to defend Yinling City. If Yinling City is gone, and the Jiujiang River is so big that there is no place for our army anymore."

In April of the 16th year of Qianyuan, Deng Jun crossed the Huaihe River and successively conquered the two cities of Xiquyang and Shouchun. So far, the entire northern part of Jiujiang, except for Yinling City, has all fallen into the hands of Deng Jun.

On April 16th, Qianyuan [-], Li Siye led nearly [-] soldiers and horses to Yinling City, but there were [-] Wu troops in Yinling City, and Deng Jun could not form a force to suppress Wu Jun, so Li Siye quickly sent people to Runan At Chang Yuchun's office, he was asked to dispatch Lujiang's Spirit Snake Guards to go north to help in the battle.

On April 16, 28th year of Qianyuan, after Murong Ke left Zhang Liao and thousands of soldiers to guard Lujiang, he led [-] spirit snake guards north to Jiujiang, accompanied by generals Zhang Fei, Li Dingguo, Murong Chui, and military adviser Yao Guangxiao.

After Murong Ke entered Jiujiang, he was not in a hurry to go to Yinling and Li Siye to join forces. Instead, he divided his troops to sweep the southern part of Jiujiang, and successively conquered the cities of Hefei, Junqiu, Fuling, Liyang, Chengde, Quanjiao, and Dongcheng. In Jiujiang County, Wu Jun has only one lonely city of Yinling left.

On May 16th, the 7th year of Qianyuan, Murong Ke led his troops to the city of Yinling and joined forces with Li Siye. Chang Yuchun also came from Runan and personally commanded the two guards to fight. In addition, all the cities in Jiujiang County except Yinling were taken by Deng Jun, so the [-] Wu troops under Lu Ao could only be trapped in Yinling City.

At the head of Yinling City, Lu Ao looked gloomyly at Deng Jun's camp outside the city. The situation of Wu Jun is very critical now. He has been trapped in Yinling City for more than a month. More than half of the food and grass hoarded in the city has been consumed, and I am afraid it will not last. How long.

Back in the camp, Lu Ao approached Pan Qing and said directly, "General Pan, are you afraid of death?"

Pan Qing was a little confused, he originally thought that Lu Ao was looking for him to discuss the strategy of retreating the enemy, but he didn't expect that Lu Ao's first sentence was to ask him if he was afraid of death, but Pan Qing did not refuse Lu Ao's question, Instead, he shook his head and said: "If you go back to the deputy governor, the last general will not be afraid of death."

Lu Ao was very satisfied with Pan Qing's answer, so he smiled and said: "Okay, General Pan is here, the situation in Yinling City is very critical now, although we still have food and grass for nearly two months, for the time being, as long as we stick to it Deng Jun will definitely not break the city, but what about two months later? Now the entire Jiujiang, except for Yinling City, has fallen into the hands of Deng Jun, and this time Deng Jun can mobilize Lujiang's troops to go north. We can also mobilize soldiers from other places, after all Deng Guo has some eight guards, so if we don't want to fight back, we can only sit and wait to die."

"But Deputy Commander, what else can we do now? We have lost contact with Jiangdong now, and only [-] soldiers and horses, two months of food and grass, and a Yinling City are left." Lu Ao's words, Pan Qing I understand everything, but what can I do if I understand it, the current situation is no better than others.

However, Lu Ao seemed to have a plan in mind. Lu Ao smiled and said, "This general has a plan, and it may be our army's last hope."

"What's the plan?" Pan Qing's eyes lit up when he heard that Lu Ao had an idea, and he suddenly regained his energy.

Lu Ao said: "Even if we guard Yinling City now, we are waiting to die. Instead of sitting here and waiting to die, it is better to fight to the death. The enemy outside is all the soldiers and horses of Deng Jun in Jiujiang and Lujiang. As long as we can If it is defeated, not only will our army be able to get out of the predicament, but we will even be able to take back the land of Jiujiang and Lujiang, and even change the entire situation of the battle.”

Pan Qing stared blankly at Lu Ao. He felt that Lu Ao's idea was really too crazy. Although Wu Jun had 4 troops, under the same conditions, it was not impossible to win against [-] Deng Jun. Yes, but Wu Jun's combat power is not good. With the same strength, Wu Jun can't beat him in a head-to-head confrontation, not to mention that there are tens of thousands more people than you now.

"Deputy governor, is it too risky? If you are a little careless, not to mention that Yinling City cannot be defended, our entire army will be wiped out." Pan Qing swallowed and said.

But Lu Ao didn't think so, it was after many days of hard thinking that he came up with the only possible way to turn defeat into victory, so he looked at Pan Qing with firm eyes and said: "No, this general also knows that it is risky to do so, but If we don't do this, we really don't have any chance, General Pan, to be honest, are you afraid?"

"Afraid? How could the general be afraid? Well, everything will be according to the deputy commander's wishes." Pan Qing was settled by Lu Ao's aggressive method.

Seeing that Pan Qing had no objections, Lu Ao thought for a while and said, "Now that Deng Jun and Chang Yuchun have just arrived in Lujiang, Deng Jun will definitely not do anything. You can arrange everything when you go down. , We attacked Deng Jun's camp, success or failure depends on it."

Pan Qing nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, deputy commander, our army will surely win!"
