After receiving the scout's report, Xu Da disobeyed the order, not only did not lead his troops to Yicheng to respond, but continued to attack Jiangling in the south.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang furious, but he was helpless.
"The whole army rested on the spot, fed and drunk, and prepared to forcibly break through" Zhu Yuanzhang, who was at the end of his rope, was a little anxious, and passed down the order, preparing to lead his troops to attack Yue Yun.
Since Xu Da refused to come to support, he had to go out, and he could break through as much as he could; Could it be that Xu Da will never come to the rescue, and the 80,000 army will wait for death within a radius of 100 miles in Dangyang County "Zhu Gong is not in a hurry, at this time, you must stabilize your position, don't mess up."
Zhu Sheng pulled Zhu Yuanzhang's sleeve and admonished.
Zhu Yuanzhang complained angrily: "I don't know what this Xu Da thinks, even if he can take Jiangling, what is the effect, if the main army is all annihilated, there are 30,000 horses under the nest that can defend Jiangling for a few days."
Zhu Sheng arched his hand and said: "I heard that the scout said that Liu Wei is sitting in Jiangling, maybe General Xu Tiande's dead horse is used as a live horse doctor, trying to take advantage of his unpreparedness to sneak attack Jiangling and capture Liu Wei alive in one fell swoop."
Even if this plan fails, he can lead his troops south to cross the Yangtze River to harass the hinterland of the Eastern Han Dynasty and attract Xue Li to chase after him, so as to achieve the goal of encircling Wei and saving Zhao. ” Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and pondered: "Well, what Yunsheng said seems to be reasonable, but I blame Xu Da by mistake, according to your opinion, what should our army do next?"
Zhu Sheng pointed to the map and said: "Fifteen miles to the west, there is a hillside, called Qipanling, there is a water source on the ridge, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
It is better for our army to temporarily occupy this mountain range, rest for a few days, and then make calculations. ” Li Guang also agreed with Zhu Sheng's suggestion: "Zhu Yunsheng's words are reasonable, pinch his fingers and calculate that the Eastern Han army almost poured out, Jiangling is empty, maybe Xu Da can really capture Liu Wei alive It is unknown."
Our army temporarily held the chessboard ridge and waited for the changes. ” The plan stopped, and Zhu Yuanzhang gave an order, and led the army to suddenly turn around and go west, occupying the chessboard ridge first.
Set up camps, dig trenches, build fortifications, and defend against the odds.
"Report to General Qiqi, Zhu Yuanzhang did not march to Yicheng, but set up a fence in Qipanling to the west."
The Eastern Han scout immediately flew to Xue Rengui.
Ran Min stroked the thick beard on his chin, and suggested: "It's better to gather people from all walks of life, kill the hillside in one go, and wipe out Zhu Yuanzhang, why bother playing hide and seek with him" Xue Rengui shook his head and said: "Although Zhu Yuanzhang has several generals, he still has 80,000 troops, and if our army attacks strongly, it will definitely be a situation where 10,000 enemies are killed and 8,000 are lost."
Since the road has been blocked, let's catch turtles in the urn patiently, it seems that the enemy army has brought half a month's worth of food, I want to see how long Zhu Yuanzhang can defend on the chessboard ridge."
Yuwen Chengdu and Zhang Liao both supported Xue Rengui's strategy: "Xue Zhenbei is reasonable, since we can starve Zhu Yuanzhang's men to death, we don't have to risk the lives of the soldiers." ” Xue Rengui immediately sent envoys to contact Yue Yun, Huo Quji, Lu Junyi, Guan Yu and other people separately to defend the fortresses along the way, without rushing to attack, to see who can consume who can wait for Zhu Yuanzhang to run out of food, and then besiege and kill the enemy army with leisure, and he will definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
As soon as Xue Rengui's envoy left, a fast horse arrived from Jiangling.
However, as soon as Wei Chi Gongfu got the news of the enemy's sneak attack on Jiangling, he sent scouts to Dangyang County as quickly as possible to ask Xue Li for help.
Listening to the scout's report, Xue Rengui was taken aback: "What a Zhu Yuanzhang, no wonder he ran to the chessboard ridge to defend it, it turned out that he was using the strategy of Ming Xiu plank road to secretly Chen Cang, and secretly sent a group of soldiers and horses to take the trail to kill Jiangling." ” Yuwen Chengdu was also shocked when he heard this: "Oh, how can this be that I and Your Majesty came in a hurry, and we only brought more than a hundred entourages."
At this moment, there are only about 5,000 defenders in the entire Jiangling City, and the city wall is seriously damaged after the battle.
Zhang Liao suggested: "The matter is urgent, so let's divide the troops into two routes, go all the way to rescue Jiangling, and continue to stay and besiege Zhu Yuanzhang all the way."
He must not be allowed to succeed in his conspiracy to surround Wei and save Zhao, resulting in the abandonment of all previous achievements. ” After some discussion, the generals made a decision, with 30,000 horses led by Yuwen Chengdu and Zhang Liao to quickly return to the division to rescue Jiangling, and Xue Rengui and Ran Min led 40,000 horses to continue to encircle and suppress Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Sheng looked high on the chessboard ridge, and saw the chasing soldiers five or six miles away suddenly shouting and neighing, divided into two roads, and saw the clue when they landed: "Haha, it seems that Xu Da's strategy seems to have worked, look at this movement, Xue Li is preparing to divide the troops into two ways." ” Li Guang pressed his sword and said: "As long as the Han army retreats half of the soldiers and horses, we have to forcibly break through the siege, so as not to miss the opportunity." ” Yuwen Chengdu and Zhang Liao ordered 30,000 horses and horses, and were about to return in the direction of Jiangling, when the sound of horses' hooves sounded again, but it was Ma Tan who was ordered to rush to report the news, and went straight to Xue Rengui and said: "General Qiyu Zhenbei, Xu Da led his troops to attack Jiangling, Your Majesty successfully broke through, and has now retreated to Zhijiang County."
His Majesty specially sent a villain to inform the general that there was no need to return to the division and continue to besiege Zhu Yuanzhang.
After destroying the main force of the enemy, Xu Da will naturally be captured."
After listening to Ma Tan's report, Xue Rengui and the generals were at ease, discussed it, and decided to lead 10,000 horses to Zhijiang to escort Yuwen Chengdu, while Xue Rengui continued to lead a large team of men and horses with Ran Min and Zhang Liao, and cooperated with other people and horses to continue to besiege Zhu Yuanzhang.
Seeing that the Eastern Han Army had changed again, and only withdrew about 10,000 people, Zhu Yuanzhang guessed the battle situation again: "Looking at this situation, Xu Da has already taken Jiangling, but he didn't catch Liu Wei, it's a pity."
In the northeast, there was a sudden sound of killing, and the torches were moving, but it was Yue Yun who led the troops to attack.
"The soldiers will charge with me, and those who get the head of Zhu Yuanzhang will be promoted to the title of Marquis in front of Your Majesty, and I will be rewarded with a thousand gold."
After Yue Yun learned the news of Yang Zaixing's death, he led his army to rush all the way and followed Zhu Yuanzhang's trail to Qipanling.
Ignoring Xue Rengui's order, he led his troops to launch a strong attack.
Zhu Yuanzhang personally put on his armor and defended Li Guang to the death.
Relying on the topography of the chessboard ridge, he used bows and arrows to kill and injure the attacking Yue Yun's soldiers and horses.
In the midst of the chaos, Yue Yun took the lead, wielding the dragon and tiger golden hammer to take the lead in charging, dialing the carving feather all the way, but whenever he encountered the oncoming rocks rolling down, he swung out the hammer, and all of them were torn apart by the blow, and the stone chips flew.
"Ding Dong Yue Yun Trap Formation Open, Force 3, Base Force 100, Bagua Dragon Tiger Golden Hammer 1, Current Force Rises to 104" "Ding Dong Yue Yun's divine power is on, force is 3, and the current force has risen to 107" In order to avenge his brother's revenge, Yue Yun rushed to the chessboard ridge without hesitation, wielding a hammer to cover up and kill in the chaos of the army, and all the enemies in front of the horse were killed with a hammer.
But the terrain changed, and the Western Han army at this moment firmly occupied the geographical advantage like the condescending Yang Zaixing, except for Yue Yun who rushed up the mountain with his bravery, the other soldiers were unable to rush up the hillside, but lost more than 2,000 people.
Yue Yun rushed left and right in the chaos of the army, and gradually could not stand up to the crowd tactics of the Western Han army, and after killing more than 200 enemy soldiers, he was slightly careless and was shot in the leg. can only hate to rush away a bloody road, urging the horse to fight out of the encirclement, "Zhu Mazi, your head will be sent for the time being, and you will definitely pay tribute to your brother another day." ” Hearing that Yue Yun did not obey the general's order, attacked Qipanling without authorization, and lost his troops, Xue Rengui was furious, and revised a letter of stern reprimand: "If you don't look at Ling Zun's face, you will be punished with eighty canes, and I will send it for the time being."
This time I was brave and unscrupulous, I became the secretary of the military department, deducting the money to set an example. ” Yue Yun failed to avenge his brother, but instead lost his troops and lost his generals, and was reprimanded by Xue Rengui, and his heart was depressed.
He could only lead his troops back seven or eight miles, set up camp on the road leading to Yicheng, and cooperate with other men and horses to besiege Zhu Yuanzhang, so as to respond to all changes.
The scouts sent by Zhu Wen left Jiangling overnight, rushed all the way to the south to spy on intelligence, and returned to Jiangling in the evening of the next day to report to Zhu Wen: Gan Ning and Cai Mao led 20,000 sailors from Chaisang to the river, and now they have held the public security port, cleared the wilderness, collected ships, and guarded against the Western Han army crossing the river to plunder Jingnan.
The plan to fight the guerrillas in the south was stillborn, but it did not discourage Zhu Wen, because he had already obtained a secret road from the mouth of a hunter that could connect Dangyang County with Jiangling City.
Zhu Wen arrested more than 700 woodcutters and hunters last night, coerced and lured, asked if there was a secret road connecting the two places, and obtained information from a hunter surnamed Chen: "There is a small road from the territory of Dangyang County through the north of Jiangling City, to the east to Huarong, because it is hidden in the deep mountains, rugged and bumpy, and there are few pedestrians.
Only Orions and woodcutters pass, we call it Huarong Road, and you can reach Jiangling from Dangyang County."
Zhu Wen was overjoyed, and immediately sent the partial general Huangfu Gang to lead more than ten soldiers, all of whom disguised themselves as hunters, followed the hunter surnamed Chen out of Jiangling, and quietly rushed to Dangyang County from Huarong Dao to meet Zhu Yuanzhang in Jiangling.

"Haha, as long as my brother's army can come to Jiangling from Huarong Road to rendezvous, we can hold the city and wait for reinforcements from Chang'an and Luoyang."
Zhu Wen personally sent Huangfu Gang out, stroked his beard and laughed, "It's really the road of heaven and earth."
The partial general Deng Lin was still worried: "Although General Quan Zhong has found a secret way to connect Dangyang and Jiangling, the grain we have looted in the whole city is only 50,000 stones.
If Zhu Gong and his army arrive, 50,000 stone of grain can last for half a month at most, and I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for the arrival of reinforcements."
Zhu Wen twisted his beard and laughed: "It's okay, I have my own clever plan, it's time to give Liu Wei a taste of the powerful people, catch a hundred people for me, cut off all the heads, put them in the carriage and send someone to Liu Bian."
If he does not exchange food for a day's delay, I will give him a hundred heads." t1706231537:
