Chapter 53 Cao Pi succeeded to the throne and became the three kings. Nanye sent troops to Xiliang 5
Xia Houde was trapped by Jiangdong's soldiers and horses in the camp and rushed left and right. On the way, he met Cao Chun and Niu Jin. The three of them joined forces and led the defeated army to flee to the South County. The three killed to the fifth update, not far from Nanjun. At this time, with a drum, Ling Cao led an army to stop the road and kill for a while. Xia Houde grabbed the road and didn't want to be blocked by Zhou Tai on the way. Xiahou De saw that there was an ambush all the way to Nanjun, so he did not dare to return to Nanjun and changed his way to Xiangyang. Zhou Yu chased the generals for a while, and when he saw Cao Bing go far away, he led their own troops back.
Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu gathered the army and came to the city of Nanjun. Just as they were about to order the siege of the city, they saw a general at the head of the city and said, "Zhou Dudu, attack the city slowly!"
When everyone in Jiangdong heard the sound and looked at the city, they saw a face like a heavy date holding a big knife. It was Wei Yan who had previously shot Zhou Yu. Zhou Yujian pointed to Wei Yan and asked, "Who are you?" Do you dare to stop my army?"
Wei Yan smiled at the head of the city and said, "I am Wei Yan from Yiyang. I know that I am not the enemy of the governor, and now I have abandoned the secret return to Shunguang Hua Guoshi. If the governor doesn't believe it, Chen Jiao's head is here to prove it. After saying that, he threw down a human head, which was the head of Cao General Chen Jiao.
Zhou Yu almost died of anger after listening to Wei Yan's words under the city. He really couldn't figure out what logic Wei Yan was, and why he was defeated by himself but wanted to join Nanye. Zhou Yu questioned Wei Yan, "You have lost to me, why don't you come to vote for me?"
Wei Yan smiled and said, "Do you not hear that good birds choose trees to live, and virtuous ministers choose their masters. Guanghua's national teacher is unparalleled in the world, and the four counties of Jingnan are close to Nanjun. It is reasonable for me to be a national teacher. What's more, the governor and the national division joined hands to fight against Cao. I joined the national division and the governor are the same.
Even if Zhou Yu was elegant, he couldn't help cursing immediately at this moment: "It's the same fart! Siege the city! I don't believe that once the army goes, the defenders of Nanjun can stop me.
When Wei Yan heard that Zhou Yu was going to attack the city, he said with a sinking face, "Don't regret that the governor wants to attack the city of the national division!"
Zhou Yu sneered and said, "Do you dare to hit the banner of the national teacher as soon as you surrender? Is the national teacher still demoted? As long as I capture this city and kill your head, who can prove that you have surrendered? Can the national teacher turn against me for you?
Wei Yan laughed and said, "The governor is really wise. In this case, the governor will besiege the city.
Zhou Yu would not hesitate when he heard the words and immediately ordered to attack the city. Wei Yan ordered the defenders to start shooting arrows and rolling wood and stones together. Zhou Yu only said that Cao soldiers in the city had gone to have many soldiers and horses. Unexpectedly, Wei Yan and Lu Xun had been prepared for a long time and hid a lot of soldiers and horses in the city, even Xia Houde did not know. Moreover, there was no shortage of arrows in the city, and there were plenty of rolling wood and stones. Zhou Yu lost soldiers but could not go to the city.
In siege warfare, the defense always has an advantage over the attacker, which can often make up for the lack of troops. Wei Yan and Lu Xun's city guards are indeed not as many as Zhou Yu's, but it is still possible to prevent Zhou Yu from entering the city in the short term. Just as there was an unreachable battle under the city, a war song came from the south.
The song was very weak at the beginning, and the people on the battlefield shouted horses and swords, completely covering up the song. When Zhou Yu, who commanded the battle, heard the song, the song was already very loud, accompanied by the rumble of horses' hoofs. This changed Zhou Yu's face, because there was only one army in the world that sang war songs during the march, that is, the Jiaozhou Army under Nan Ye's command.
"Clouds from the dragon, wind from the tiger, fame and fortune, dust and earth. Looking at Shenzhou, the people are suffering, and thousands of miles of fertile land are desolate. Hearing the sound of the world, the golden drum is sounding, and the heavenly way is incomplete. Good man, don't be parents, just for the world, not the Lord..."
The loud war song resounded through the world, declaring the arrival of the Jiaozhou army. As the army approached, the generals in Jiangdong and Wei Yan and Lu Xun in the city also heard the battle song. The pace of the attacking side suddenly slowed down, and the defending side intensified its arrows.
Zhou Yu can already see the army in the distance, with bright armor knives and guns, and the neat marching pace like a man. Zhou Yu, who has led the army for many years, saw at a glance that this army was definitely an elite, better than most soldiers in Jiangdong. The most terrible thing is that this Jiaozhou elite can see the head but can't see the end, and I don't know how many people there are. Zhou Yu judged from experience that this man and horse were at least more than 100,000 people, much more than his command.
"Mingjin withdraws troops!" Although Zhou Yu's face changed from white after serious injury to iron blue, he has not forgotten to issued a military order. Zhou Yu did not have the courage to attack the city that surrendered to Nanye in front of Nanye's army.
Wei Yan and Lu Xun couldn't help smiling at the retreating Jiangdong soldiers at the head of the city. Their biggest dependence on the war with Zhou Yu is not the hidden soldiers in the city, but the Jiaozhou expeditionary force from the four counties of Jingnan. This army, commanded by Zhang Liao, Jia Xu as the military division, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Yang Xiong and other generals, were stationed in the four counties of Jingnan at the beginning of the war. It was not until Cao Cao's defeat in Chibi that this army showed its claws and went straight to the South County.
Lu Xun and Wei Yan thought that the support army would take some time to arrive, and they were ready to fight a protracted battle with Zhou Yu, but they didn't expect the troops to come so quickly. This made Zhou Yu's siege not only have no results, but also lost many soldiers. The defenders at the head of the city only paid some arrows and did not even have a chance of hand-to-hand casualties.
These defenders who followed Lu Xun and Wei Yan were originally Jingzhou soldiers. Except for a small number of cronies, they did not know that Lu Xun and Wei Yan had already defected to Nanye. Therefore, when Xia Houde defeated Lu Xun and Wei Yan changed their flags, they still wondered why their masters would join the Nanye National Division. At this moment, these Jingzhou soldiers found their commander's foresight and cheered one after another.
Unlike the joy of the soldiers guarding the city, Jiangdong soldiers are like dead parents. They fought this battle in vain, and everyone died in vain. Zhou Yu was also hit by the arrow in vain. Ding Feng, the young general, was so angry that he burst into tears and said, "Damn it! It's really disgusting! Governor, I would like to fight to the death.
Zhou Yu shook his head when he heard the words and said, "Nan Ye... people all over the world underestimate you. Well, I can't get Nanjun, and Kong Ming can't get it. It's not shameful to be defeated by the saints of the road.
Lu Su originally wanted to persuade Zhou Yu not to be impulsive. At this time, when he saw that Zhou Yu was very calm, he asked, "How does the governor plan to deal with it?"
Zhou Yu snorted coldly, "Let's see whether Nan Ye is here or not. The gathering of a large army is not a day's work. I would like to ask him why he is here."
Just as Zhou Yu was talking, the Jiaozhou army had already arrived in front of him. Various banners of Avenue Sage, Guanghua National Division, General and Jiaozhou Pastor are fluttering in the wind. The first three handsome flags were Huang, Zhao and Yang, which were the three vanguard officials of Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and Yang Xiong.
