The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 403 The Battle of Jiangling
But it is said that Sun Ce sent troops to attack Jiangling, an important town in Southern Jingzhou County, by water and water, which made Liu Biao almost faint again, and involved Zhang Zhongjing, the genius doctor Lu Heng had been looking for for many years.

However, this matter has nothing to do with the overall situation. Sun Ce still stormed Jiangling, and Zhou Yu's navy continued to bully the Jingzhou navy.

The guard of Jiangling was General Wenpin of Jingzhou. He used his troops steadily and was one of the few people in Jingzhou who could fight tough battles. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu bit on this tough bone.

Wenpin originally wanted to place the remaining navy on the Yangtze River in the south of Jiangxia to consolidate the water gate at the south gate of Jiangling.

But Kuai Liang, a counselor, suggested that Sun Ce crossed the great river to attack Jiangling, and his supplies would be transported across the river and protected by Zhou Yu's navy. Although Jingzhou's navy was weak, it was not without it!

It can turn the navy into darkness, hide in Jingling, a hundred miles east of Jiangling, attack Sun Ce's grain road, and even restrain Zhou Yu's navy from attacking the water gate with peace of mind.

Kuai Liang's strategy should not be underestimated. It is said that the unknown is the most terrifying thing. The Jingzhou navy is inherently weak, so Zhou Yu didn't even think about it if it was placed in that place. Directly attacking Miezhi will also improve the opponent's morale.

And after he followed Kuai Liang's suggestion and turned the light into darkness, Zhou Yu worried a lot more, whether he would attack suddenly when he attacked the water gate, or attack the grain ship as Kuai Liang said.

No matter how weak the Jingzhou navy is, it is still possible to bully grain ships and civilian husbands.In this way, Zhou Yu must be distracted and need to arrange!There is also the role of involving the strength of Zhou Yu's navy!
If Lu Heng were here, he would definitely nod his head. Although the Kuai family has a lot of problems, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue are two counselors who have two ideas. It is probably Liu Biao who made Kuai Liang the military adviser of Jiangling and Wenpin stationed in the city. wisest thing.

If it was Cai Mao who was stationed in Jiangling and had a grudge with the Kuai family, he would definitely not listen to Kuai Liang's plan.

After hearing Kuai Liang's strategy, Wen Pin immediately agreed to let Zhang Yun (the one of Liu Biao's nephew, not the one of Lu Heng's four major families) take the navy to Jingling.

The Jingzhou Navy is actually divided into two parts. The first is Huang Zu’s Jiangxia Navy, which was annihilated by Zhou Yu’s fire. The second is the Jiangling Navy, which was originally commanded by Cai Mao. It was the Cai family, such as Cai Zhong, Cai He, Cai Xun and others.

However, following Cai Mao's big defeat last time, Liu Biao took care of him and turned his back on him. The Cai family all withdrew from the navy. Liu Biao did achieve control of the army, but both sides lost the financial support of the Cai family. If something happens, the actual combat effectiveness will be much worse.

Although Cai Hao has a big problem, he is still a good general in the water war who is proficient in command and tactics of the water army. Cai Zhong, Cai He, Cai Xun and others are really at the mercy of others on land, but the water army has played this role. No small effect.

After the Cai family picked a son, Liu Biao had no choice but to use his nephew Zhang Yun as the commander of the navy. Deng Ji and Wu Ju assisted him. Zhang Yun's ability was much worse than Cai Mao's and was beaten by Zhou Yu.

At the same time, they sent people to Xiangyang to ask for help, and Liu Biao almost fainted when he saw a letter asking for help. Wenpin asked for help, and the situation must be urgent.

The old man Liu Biao regained some energy under Zhang Zhongjing's potion, and dispatched the last new force in his hands, which was also the firefighting army, which was Liu Pan's [-] soldiers. Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng rescued Jiangling.

It's not that Liu Biao never thought of asking Lu Heng for reinforcements, but Sun Ce mainly attacked Jiangling, and Lu Heng's territory and Jiangling were still separated by a lot of Liu Biao's hinterland. How can this be saved?What's more, Lu Heng will definitely send Jiangxia garrisons for rescue, and Liu Biao is also afraid that Jiangxia and Lu Heng's army will move, and if they send troops again in Changsha, will the old man still survive?

What's more, the people under the rule are now in panic. Many families are preparing to move to Jiangdong. Even the Huang family has already taken action. This is something Liu Biao doesn't want to see. No one wants to be abandoned. Liu Biao hopes to use a defensive victory to deter These ready-to-move families.

The old man Liu Biao wants to convey to the family that his old man is not dead, as long as he is not dead, Jingzhou is safe, you family don't have to look far away!So this time the old man decided to stand up!
The Battle of Jiangling started in early October, Wenpin gave up the field battle and defended the city to the death. Wenpin learned from Zhou Yu and Lu Su's plan in the last Jingnan battle and was deeply afraid of it.

Liu Biao ordered Wenpin several times to strengthen Jiangling. Now it is a fortified city with walls more than two feet high. In October, Wenpin believes that after two months of winter, Sun Ce will retreat. Why bother to stand up and take risks?
Behind Sun Ce who arrived in Jiangling, Lu Meng, Xing Daorong, Chen Wu, Fang Jie, Fang Qifo, Li Tianrun, Li Tianyou, Pang Wanchun, Lu Shinang, etc. lined up to watch Jiangling begin to attack the city.

Jiangling faces the Yangtze River, diverting the Yangtze River water into a moat, and the walls on three sides are three feet high. Sun Ce's master, Ximen, is guarded by Wenpin himself.

Sun Ce ordered Li Tianrun to detain the Wuxi Man who did not listen to him. He took the lead in attacking the city and filling up the moat for the death camp. Under the threat of the knife, he carried the sandbag and rushed forward against the rain of arrows.

This army has no military discipline and chaos, they can only understand two orders, beating the drums to march, and beating the gold to retreat. The age span is extremely large, from ten-year-old children to sixty-year-old men.

The equipment of the death camp was extremely poor. They were issued with a wooden spear and to withstand the rain of arrows, Sun Ce ordered people to be issued with a wooden board with a handle as a shield. They did not even have leather armor to fill the moat. Many Wuxi barbarians did not even carry weapons. , carrying sandbags and wooden planks, they rushed forward. They could only rush forward, and they would be chopped down to the ground by those "compatriots" who were also Wuxi barbarians. These people showed no mercy and everyone had their hands full. He drank the blood of Wuxi barbarian compatriots.

In this way, the tragic siege and massacre began. The thin wooden planks can only defend against the arrows of a light bow under a stone. They are defenseless when encountering a strong crossbow, let alone a bed crossbow. Many Wuxi barbarian corpses It fell directly on the road and in the moat.

Just running to the moat, throwing sandbags and running back, this seemingly simple action is to spread the city with blood, the death rate of the entire death camp is as high as [-]% or even [-]%, filling the moat does not know how many people will die.

There are even more Wuximan corpses in the moat than sandbags. Lu Su has not persuaded Sun Ce to treat the Wuximan kindly and not to use this method to attack the city. If things go on like this, the Wuximan will definitely resist, but Sun Ce doesn't care, thinking that 'Those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me perish' Not to mention those Wuxi barbarians who slaughtered their compatriots, Sun Ce would not be afraid if they were controlled.
