Chapter 14 Take all Lujiang

Jiang Qin and Tai Shi Ci are still a step late.

On their way to support Sanshan Town, they met several defeated soldiers who fled from there. In fact, Jiang Qin also expected this result. After all, he only left 500 people to guard. Even if they were all elite sailors, in the face of tens of thousands of Zhang Liao's army, the outcome was self-evident.

"The loss of Sanshan Town is all my fault!" Jiang Qin was ashamed and angry when he heard the words, and he pulled out the sword around his waist and was about to commit suicide. Tai Shi Ci was quick-eyed and quickly grabbed his right hand holding the sword. General Jiang, at present, Sanshan Town has been lost. Niuzhu and Hulin Dazhai are not guaranteed. We still need to return to the army as soon as possible, and then we can plan later!" Tai Shi Ci said in a low voice, and Lv Meng beside him was also persuading.

"The Lord ordered us to stick to the north shore, but now the Xuzhou army has taken advantage of it. What face do I have to see the Lord!" Jiang Qin blamed himself. General Jiang, you can't be blamed for this. It's not that General Jiang is incompetent, but Zhao Feng is too cunning! Let's straighten up the army and go back to Wu County first!" Tai Shici didn't care whether Jiang Qin agreed or not, and directly turned around and led the army to Wu County. Lv Meng glanced at Jiang Qin and moved his mouth. In the end, he didn't say anything. He just drove the horse to catch up with Tai Shici. Jiang Qin was stunned for a long time, but he still followed them to Wu County. It's just that the three of them left in a hurry, but forgot to send troops to tell Hu Lin He Qi.

"Wen Yuan, Wen Da, you two have really made great achievements this time!" Following the first wave of sergeants successfully crossing the Yangtze River through Sanshan Town, Zhao Feng was also happy to Zhang Liao and Li. Except for Guan Ping, who led 10,000 people to stay in the Lujiang River, and Gan Ning led the sailors to the Ganjiang River to help in the war, nearly 100,000 troops had spent almost two days crossing the Yangtze River. With these 100,000 people in Jiangdong, Sun Quan's son will not be better.

Without waiting for all the troops to cross over, Zhao Feng had ordered Zhang Liao to be stationed in Sanshan Town. He himself and Gao Lan led a man and horse to directly attack He Qi of Hulin in the west. At the same time, Li Tong and Wenpin led a team of people to capture Wancheng from the southwest, and then attack Hulin. At this time, more than 40,000 people have crossed the river by the Xuzhou army, and the advantage in number of people was suddenly more obvious than when they looked across the river. On the premise of not receiving timely warning from Tai Shici, when He Qi found that Zhao Feng was coming from the west, the Xuzhou army was less than 20 miles away from his camp.

"Ready to retreat!" He Qi was also quick to respond. Although he couldn't figure out how the Xuzhou army crossed the Yangtze River, he knew that once the Xuzhou army came over, it would be difficult for him to defend the Hulin village with 5,000 people. Now he quickly ordered the evacuation of the water village and withdraw to Wancheng in the south to defend the city. It's just that he just threw himself into the net and bumped into Li Tong and Wen Ping.

"General, Jiangdong Army is going to run!" Five or six miles away from Hulin Shuizhai, a sharp-eyed soldier faintly saw a man and horse rushing out of Hulin Shuizhai and running south in the night in front of him. It seems that He Qi wants to slip away, General Gao, you lead your troops to occupy his water village first, and I will take someone to chase him!" Zhao Feng finished the brief division of labor, so he led the army to catch up. The young horses of the Jiangdong Army, the 7,000 soldiers stationed in the tiger forest this time, the total number of horses up and down the whole army is less than 50. Except for the generals and scouts, there is almost nothing left. If Zhao Feng had a cavalry in his hand, he could at most entangle the other party with a stick of incense. Now he is a horse, but his men can only rely on two legs and feet.

"General, kill a pursuer from behind!" Although He Qi was running, he had been on the battlefield for a long time. Naturally, he arranged a front and rear sentry ride, and soon found Zhao Feng chasing soldiers. How many people are coming? He Qi asked in a low voice.

"About seven or eight thousand!" The sentry said a rough number. In fact, it was almost the same force. Zhao Feng and Gao Lan took two divisions with a total of 16,000 horsemen along the way, and then divided a division of 8,000 soldiers to Gao Lan to occupy Hulin Shuizhai, and he led 8,000 people to chase He Qi's deserters. He knew that there were only 7,000 defenders in He Qihulin Water Village, but he was not afraid of being bullied by others.

"It's only 8,000. The enemy came in a hurry and was tired all the way. It's better to return to the army unexpectedly and rush to kill before withdrawing to Wancheng. Although I have a small number of people, my chance of winning is not small. Thinking of this, He Qi immediately sent an order to change to the front army and prepare for the battle.

"Stop!" Zhao Feng saw that the Jiangdong army in front of him also stopped, and he immediately realized that the other party wanted to rush to kill, and he could take the opportunity to drag him here, and then completely annex this man and horse. At present, he also ordered the whole army to prepare for the battle.

"Come and use the name!" The two armies were only half a mile apart. He Qi was also secretly shocked to see that the Xuzhou army was so fast that it was in a good formation. However, at this time, he could not allow him to hesitate, and now he rushed out to fight.

"Xuzhou Zhao Feng!" Zhao Feng saw a general-like person calling from the opposite side. Gao Lan was not there, but he didn't give up. In the past, he always called himself Zhao Feng, the general of Xuzhou, but now he calls himself Zhao Feng in Xuzhou. Although Liu Bei has named him General Zhengnan, he is still not used to calling him this name for a while.

"It turned out to be him?" He Qi was also stunned when he heard the words. He knew that Zhao Feng was the commander of Xuzhou's attack on Jiangdong this time. As long as he defeated him, it was better than killing anyone, he rushed forward without answering. Zhao Feng has never seen such a person. After asking for his name, he killed him directly and didn't even report his name. Am I your enemy so much that I'm jealous when we meet each other? Zhao Feng was puzzled, but his hand was not slow at all, and he also clapping his gun forward to meet him.

After a few moves, Zhao Feng had a preliminary understanding of He Qi's strength: although his martial arts skills are not bad, they are obviously worse than himself. Now even if I have run a long way, I still win or lose in the battle with him. He Qi was not as confident as Zhao Feng. As soon as he got to fight, he was shocked: Zhao Feng was young. Why did he have martial arts skills? He was almost as good as his predecessor Gongsun Ce.

Although Zhao Feng's one-on-one fight made Sun Ce die on the battlefield, the process was more tortuous. Sun Ce was shot with two arrows and one shot. All the generals in Jiangdong who had not witnessed the battle thought that he had been hit by a hidden arrow first, so Zhao Feng had the opportunity to take advantage of it. He didn't expect that Zhao Feng would give Sun Ce a fierce shot first. He Qi also didn't expect this. When he realized that he was by no means Zhao Feng's opponent, it was too late to get out. I panicked, and my handwork was even more reduced.

"Hey!" Seeing that the other party's flaws were becoming more and more obvious, Zhao Feng finally took the right move. When the second horse pedaled wrong, he shot He Qi on the back and pulled him directly off the horse. Tied up!" Zhao Feng put the tip of his gun against He Qi's chest, and several soldiers behind him quickly took the rope and tied it up.

"Up!" However, when the sergeant under He Qi saw that he was captured, he was ready to rescue him. Zhao Feng waved the barrel of the gun, and the 8,000 Xuzhou troops behind him also shouted and rushed forward to fight. For a moment, shouts were everywhere, and the swords and shadows were flying with flesh and blood.

Although He Qi was tied up firmly, his head was still clear. As a result, he only looked at the situation on the court and suddenly realized that he was invincible today. For no other reason, Jiangdong soldiers' land combat ability and Xuzhou army are not of the same level at all.

Since the last time Zhao Feng and others practiced military reform, the cooperation between various arms in the melee has gradually been valued by the generals. Seeing the scuffle between the Xuzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army at this moment, the soldiers of Xuzhou finally kept the knife and shield soldiers and the long gun soldiers to fight together as much as possible. When the weapons of the Jiangdong army waved over, the sword and shield soldiers first resisted with shields, and then the spearmen stabbed them far away. Such cooperation cannot be said to avoid casualties, but it has indeed been reduced a lot.

Moreover, there is also a gap in the personal combat effectiveness of the soldiers on both sides. It is often seen that the Jiangdong army is blocked by the opponent's shield, and the weapon in his hand is broken out of the open door, and then he can only watch the other party's blade poked into his chest with his eyes. In addition, after He Qi was captured, there was a lack of command, and the number of people tended to be inferior. Jiangdong's army was undoubtedly defeated in this battle.

At this time, there was another uproar after the Jiangdong army. It turned out that another Xuzhou army came from behind them, and the two sides could not be defeated. In less than two hours, nearly 3,000 soldiers in Jiangdong had been annihiated, and the rest were captured. They really ran away, but dozens of people were very fast and lucky.

"Wanda, thank you for your hard work!" At this time, Zhao Feng had seen that it was a group of people led by Li Tong who were killed from behind the Jiangdong army. At this time, after Gao Lan found that Hulin Shuizhai was a completely empty village, he quickly left 3,000 people stationed. He led 5,000 troops to help the battle. As a result, he did not catch up with the war and had to help clean up the battlefield.

"General Zhao, General Gao, Wancheng has also been taken, and then the counties south of the Lujiang River can be paced down." Li Tong couldn't hide his excitement. At this time, he noticed He Qi tied up on the ground.

"It's so good, I mean, tonight the army will first rest in Anhui City, and tomorrow will calm down the counties of Lujiang!" Zhao Feng also had a preliminary plan. Looking up at the sky, Zhao Feng slightly estimated the time: If everything is still going well, it will be winter when the whole territory of the Lujiang River is taken. Generally, it is difficult to have any more wars in winter, so the most urgent thing is to make a few cities in the south of the Yangtze River, so that the soldiers can have a stable winter.

"It's so good!" Gao Lan and Li Tong did not feel anything wrong. That night, except for leaving thousands of people stationed in the tiger forest, the rest of the army went to Wancheng to join and recruit. On the way, Li Tong told Zhao Feng about the attack on Wancheng. It turned out that Sun Quan and Zhou Yu did not expect that the Xuzhou army could cross the river to attack so quickly, and the garrison of Wancheng only had 2,000 county soldiers. Wen Ping did not play any tricks. He directly attacked the city and took it down in less than an hour. The captain defending the city was stabbed to death by Wen Ping, and the rest surrendered.

"General Zhao, the combat strength of the Jiangdong Army and my Xuzhou Army are really heaven and earth." Li Tong said that Wancheng was so easy, and he was also a little disdainful of the Jiangdong Army. Wen Daxiu is careless. At present, all we have encountered are the Jiangdong Water Army and the county soldiers. We haven't seen much about the real elite of Jiangdong. Zhao Feng couldn't help looking east when he said this. Gao Lan didn't know it, but Li Tong knew that it was Danyang County. He couldn't help thinking of the famous Danyang elite soldiers, and his heart was also awe-in-in-armed.

After a night's rest, Zhao Feng stayed with Li Tong stationed in Wancheng. He and Gao Lan led the troops to calm Shu, Liu'an and Jing counties respectively. Except for the 3,000 slightly decent soldiers in Shu County, the governor of Lujiang County, the rest are invincible. The general of Shu County is Jia Hua, who is also Sun Quan's confidant. In the face of the pressure of the army, he resolutely refused to surrender and guarded according to the city. However, Zhao Feng knew that he would be such a hardliner, and he deliberately took 500 soldiers from the camp when he attacked Shu County. As a result, in Jia Hua's incredible eyes, the camp rushed to the head of Shu County like a whirlwind, and then a chaotic battle killed the Jiangdong garrison. Jia Hua himself was also stabbed to death by Zhao Feng, and the rest were all invincible. At this point, with the takedown of Shu County, the governor of the Nanlu River, Zhao Feng finally calmed down the whole Lujiang County before the winter.
