Small Landlords of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 83 110. The Strategy of Weary Soldiers
Gan Ning took 5000 sailors to rob the camp, while the Soochow navy left behind on the Danyang River had only [-] men. Except for Sun Quan's Yuhuang warship, there were only a few scattered Mengchong warships in the camp, and the rest were landed. This small warship.

Chen Pu let go of more than 500 fire warships. This was completely causing trouble for Sun Quan. The fire warships ignited raging fire and went down the river. The lights were bright and both sides of the Yangtze River could be seen clearly. Sun Quan in the camp He and Zhou Yu naturally saw it too.

"Gongjin, what do you think Wang Hao wants to do? Why are there so many fire warships..."

Sun Quan was also taken aback when he saw the fire warship, thinking that Wang Hao was about to launch a general attack.

"My lord, the attack on the Jingzhou water army may have been successful. These warships are probably the ones that Wang Hao put down to intercept Zijing!"

Zhou Yu would think, he thought Huang Gai attacked the camp at night, Wang Hao's naval camp caught fire and the food and grass were burned, so he must flee back to Jiangxia to replenish the food and grass ships.

While Lu Su and Chen Pu's water troops were going up the river, Wang Hao should have been caught off guard in the face of such a sudden attack, so he could only use his fireboat to cross the river to buy time to escape.

"I hope so!"

Gu Yong also thought so, he and Zhang Zhao are family friends, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Cheng are both his nephews, Huang Gai and him are one of the few elders.

Gu Yong sighed, according to the historical trajectory, he also served as the prime minister of Wu Guo and Ping Shang Shushi, and was named Marquis of Liling by Sun Quan.

Forehead………

"filial piety..."

"Lord be careful..."

"There are assassins..."

Before Gu Yong finished speaking, his eldest son Gu Shao was shot dead by a feathered arrow. Zhou Yu shouted for the guards to protect Sun Quan. The soldiers on the river were clearing the fire warships when they suddenly saw more than a dozen Mengchong warships rushing towards them. .

"Whoever captures Zhou Yu and Sun Quan alive will be rewarded with a reward of [-] marquises..."

"Catch Zhou Yu alive..."

"To capture Sun Quan alive..."

Following Gan Ning's order, Meng Chong's [-] sailors also yelled, the drums beat, Meng Chong jumped, and all arrows were fired!
"Damn Gan Xingba, isn't Lu Zijing stationed on both sides of the Yangtze River? Why did Gan Ning's navy appear here..."

Sun Quan also panicked when he saw Gan Ning appear. If he was not afraid of the night attack of the Jingzhou navy, this time it was different.

Huang Gai and Gai Hai were not there, only Yu Huang command ship was left among the large warships, and Chen Pu left with another [-] sailors, leaving only [-] soldiers in the camp.

Even if [-] soldiers and horses were stationed in the camp, Gan Ning's [-] sailors alone would not be able to rob the camp, the key was the hundreds of fire warships.

Five hundred fire warships went down the river, several gaps were burned in the water army camp, and several ships at the ferry were also burned. The soldiers on Yuhuang warships manipulated the sticks, and once the fire warships approached, they sank it .

Gan Ning's nearly [-] Mengchong warships rushed into the navy camp through the gap, and when the soldiers reacted, Gan Ning and his men went ashore and rushed to Sun Quan.

"Protect the lord..."

Watching Gan Ning log in from the ferry, Zhou Yu knew that the camp could no longer be held, so he asked his soldiers to protect Sun Quan and retreat to Danyang City. Gan Ning dragged a two-meter-long iron chain in his hand, beheading the soldiers all the way and rushing towards Sun Quan. , the gold and silver bells around his waist kept jingling, this was Gan Ning's signature bell.

As for the soldiers on the Yuhuang battleship, seeing that they were abandoned by Sun Quan, they decisively chose to surrender. This is very normal on the battlefield. No one would make meaningless sacrifices. Ants even know how to live.

Gan Ning left [-] soldiers to gather the camp. He must repair the camp before dawn and complete the fortifications on the ground. Otherwise, when Chen Pu returns, Gan Ning will repeat Sun Quan's defeat.

The other five thousand soldiers and horses have been chasing Sun Quan and others. Regardless of whether they can catch Sun Quan or not, they have made the first contribution this time. If they catch another person named Sun, they will get at least one hundred gold!

Did Zhou Yu think it would be safe to flee to Danyang?
It's good that Danyang's elite soldiers are strong, but it also depends on who owns them. Let a group of young and vigorous generals be stationed, and let veterans like Gao Shun and Dian Wei be able to keep them.

Gao Shun's soldiers came ten miles below Danyang City, and did not attack directly, but let the soldiers camp on the spot, and then let Qingqi go out to harass every night, every other hour, except for the east gate, non-stop at the other three gates Beat the gongs and drums.

The Eastern Wu soldiers in the city thought that the Jingzhou army was attacking the city, and ran up the wall in a hurry, but it turned out that it was just a false alarm, several times in a night.

During the day, the Dianwei Modao Battalion called for formation at the west gate, and from time to time they used swift arrows to pretend to attack, while Gao Shun kept tossing the Danyang soldiers at the south gate as well.

After two or three days like this, Danyang's elite soldiers gradually got used to beating the drums in the middle of the night. They couldn't sleep because they couldn't hear the drums in the middle of the night. Exploratory attack.

Then in the middle of the night, the west gate shot rockets, but the south gate launched a siege strategy. Danyang's soldiers couldn't sleep all night, and Gao Shun's side was exhausted.

For five or six days in a row, Gao Shun lost nearly 3000 soldiers and horses, and Danyang lost more than [-] soldiers and horses. Overall, Danyang won.

The strategy of exhausting troops is still going on, and as the defender, it must be at a disadvantage. Gao Shun sent a thousand light cavalry to beat the drums, and Lu Meng, who was stationed in Danyang, had to mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers.

The supplies from Jingzhou continued to come over, and Jingzhou could barely keep up with the simultaneous war on the three fronts, while Soochow was a bit underwhelmed.

Gao Shun didn't attack the city and didn't retreat. He beat gongs and drums every day to make people sleepless. The soldiers would doze off when they stood on the city wall during the day, and they would wake up immediately when they heard the sound of the drums.

Jiang Yi is the eldest son of Jiang Qin. He and Wang Hao have a grudge against Wang Hao for killing their father. This time he and his younger brother Jiang Xiu were stationed in Danyang City. Due to lack of sleep, his temper became violent.

Once light cavalry passed by the south gate, Jiang Xiu saw that there were only [-] cavalry, so he did not report to Danyang prefect Lu Meng.

The light cavalry was defeated and fled, and the Jiang brothers became even more arrogant. After that, every time the cavalry came to the south gate to beat the drum, they would send troops to drive the cavalry away.

In this way, he was chased away by them more than a dozen times, but something happened when he was out of the city in the evening. This time, there were only two thousand Qingqi, and they were not opponents of the Jiang brothers.

Just when the Jiang brothers led [-] elite troops back to the city, Gao Shun's trapped camp sprang out from the dense forest outside the city and headed straight for the south gate. Dianwei's Modao camp rode on war horses and charged faster than the Jiang brothers. Go to the city gate.

The impregnable Danyang City was destroyed in this way, with [-] trapped camps, [-] Modao camps, [-] heavy cavalry and [-] light cavalry infantry, and [-] troops launched a general attack from the south gate.

Under the command of Lu Meng, the prefect of Danyang, there were only [-] Danyang elite soldiers, [-] infantry and [-] cavalry. The remaining [-] soldiers were old, weak, sick and disabled second-class soldiers. Originally, [-] soldiers and horses were defending the city, but Gao Shunqi Wan Dajun couldn't do anything to him, but it would be different if the south gate was lost.
