Chapter 36: The Siege of Wanling


On the ancient road, thousands of soldiers in tattered clothes were full of gloom, their heads bowed, and they walked forward with their own care, carrying their blades weakly, and many of the armor on the soldiers were also lost.

"Where is this" Liu Miao slowly woke up from the stretcher, he looked up and looked around, and immediately a warrior rode up to him.

"Lord Thorn Shi, ten miles ahead, is the Wanling Tomb of Danyang Zhizhi."

"Wanling, help me up."

Liu Xuan's face was a little pale, he took advantage of the chaos to break through last night, he was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and he lost too much blood, if it wasn't for the fact that there were still good doctors in the army, I was afraid that he would have died at this moment.

He was helped on a war horse, condescending, he looked around, the morale of the army was declining, although the queue was long, but at first glance it was a sign of defeat.

After getting the news, Yu Lu, Fan Neng and other generals had already arrived.

"Lord Thorn Shi, it's okay."

"You don't have to worry, I'm fine."

Liu Miao pointed around, "Last night's breakthrough, how many soldiers and horses are left in our army?"

Asked about this, a few generals' faces were a little dodgy, or Zhen Rong sighed, "Last night to break through, we only care about protecting Lord Thorn Shi, in the chaos of the battle, Sun Ce's subordinates will be very brave, if it is not for our subordinates to sacrifice their lives to resist, I am afraid, I will not be able to come back, after leaving the city, I will wait until noon, gather the soldiers, only more than 5,000 people left." ” "More than 20,000 soldiers and horses, only 25 out of ten" Liu Xuan's chest was stuffy, and he immediately lowered his body and prostrate on his horse, "Where is General Chen Heng?"

"General Chen has led a defeated army to retreat to Dantu, and in addition, we have sent someone to summon Qu A, inform Mr.

Changxu, and transfer the family of Lord Shi."

"Why don't you retreat to Qu'a" Liu Xuan clutched his chest, his face softened a little.

"Although Qu'a is the foundation of the Lord Thorn Shi, but when I came to the riverbank to guard, I have already transferred most of the troops of Danyang and Wu County, and now there are only more than 1,000 Qu'a defenders, we are waiting to go, we can't defend it, Wanling City is high, and it is close to the southern counties, if the major general comes back to help, we can get help as soon as possible."

Liu Miao took a deep look at Fan Neng, who was reporting at this moment, and sighed heavily, "It's a pity that Wu'er is brave, he took the southern counties of Wu County last year, and shocked Jiangdong, such a foundation was ruined by me, a man who is about to die."

"Don't be arrogant and self-defeating, that Sun Ce is brave, and there is a fine response in the city, I don't wait to check, I was defeated, and now I retreat to Wanling, since I should be in strict formation, I can't hold out, with the grain and grass in the city, we can still wait for reinforcements from all over Wanling, and support it for several months."

Fan Neng hugged his fists and saluted.

"Immediately send light cavalry, summon Wu'er, and gallop to the aid of the horse, and inform them of the battle situation here."

"In addition, send people to Qiantang, Yuhang and other counties, inform the town guard Wuzhong Taishi Ziyi, and order him to go north to help, yesterday in the army, that Sun Ce was brave, even if he waited for a few people to step forward together, he was not his opponent, look at my Wuzhong generals, only Taishi Ziyi can stop it."

The generals nodded yes.

After noon, the army entered Wanling.

On the night of the fifth day, the pursuers had arrived, and Sun Ce commanded an army of 20,000 and camped outside the city, but did not call for an attack.

At this moment, in his camp, all the generals sat on both sides, and their faces were happy.

Huang Gai's eyebrows danced, "This big victory, the lord ordered all the fleeing soldiers to be collected, and as long as they are willing to surrender, they will be exempted from paying taxes, so that our army can harvest the hearts of the people of Danyang." ” "Today, our army is attacking Wanling, Gongjin is attacking Hushu, Jiangcheng, Jurong and other counties, marching into Dantu, and Xiaqu."

Sun Ce held the wine cup in one hand, "If I don't break through Wanling as soon as possible, I'm afraid that Gongjin will already have Liu Xuan's family and pacify the entire Wu County." ” "General Gongjin is good at commanding the army, and we are good at charging into battle, the lord only needs to send us as the vanguard tomorrow, and he will definitely capture the city within one day and capture Liu Xian'er in the city."

When crossing the river before, Zhu Zhi, who had made military achievements, said loudly.

"Okay, then tomorrow, you Zhu Jun will be the vanguard of your troops."

Sun Ce waved his hand.

"Whoa."

Zhu Zhi was overjoyed.

At this moment, in the camp outside the Wanling County Guard's Mansion, which was only a few miles away, Zhen Rong was pacing restlessly.

"Now Sun Ce's soldiers and horses are flourishing, after defeating our army in Moling that day, he relied on the strategy of gathering people's hearts, and collected a full 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers, and now the troops are divided into two roads, there are still 20,000 people outside the city, and there are county soldiers gathered from Danyang counties in the city, and there are no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, how to resist" "Then Xue Li's family is a little rich, why not" Zhen Rong thought of the experience of killing people and making a lot of money in the past, but he immediately forgot about it.

"Under Liu Xuan's rule, there are most of Danyang, Wu County, Yuzhang, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, there will be Tai Shici, Zhu Huan and others, Yuzhang still has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Major General Liu Qi, until the end, no one knows whether Liu Xiang will be defeated" "General, why don't I wait to go out of the city and surrender Sun Ce."

"No, then Sun Ce is jealous and hateful, I have a lot of notoriety in Xuzhou, how can I value him, I'm afraid that he will leave my soldiers and horses in the name of betraying the lord and kill me on the spot."

After thinking about it several times, I still feel that it will be effective.

After all, Liu Miao is no longer the cowardly assassin who fears Yan Hu and Wang Lang and others inside, and Yuan Highway outside, and he also has a good son.

Early the next morning, Sun Ce sent Zhu Zhi to lead an army of 2,000 to attack the north gate, and Huang Gai led an army of 3,000 to supervise the battle.

The siege of the city lasted for a day, and there were casualties on both sides, but the city was still in the hands of Liu Xuanjun.

After five days, there were less than 3,000 soldiers and horses left in the city, and because of the battle report outside the city, Zhou Yu had taken several counties in a row, and led the army to force Qu'a, and the morale was greatly boosted.

At the same time, hundreds of miles away from Wanling, a neatly armored army and horses were marching towards here.

At the same time, Zhou Yu's troops had more than 10,000 troops and horses, and they had been attacking Qu'a for several days.

He had already received a secret report that the important ministers under Liu Xuan's account in the city were Yi, Sun Shao and others, and they did not leave, that is, the famous Xu Shao, who was still there, but there were only 3,000 soldiers and horses in the city, how could they resist his attack for several days.

On this day, just as the city wall was about to be captured, suddenly, from the side of the city wall, a soldier and horse were killed, Zhou Yu ordered Sun Ben to lead the army to resist, and it was crushed when touched.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu's army was still there, and the generals who led the army to help did not dare to attack, so they had to retreat into the city.

"Then the general dares to leave his name" When the enemy general withdrew and was about to enter the city, Zhou Yu asked towards the city gate.

The white horse and silver spear general Le Ma was on the side of the moat, the tip of the gun pointed at Zhou Yu, and the echo shouted: "I am Donglai Taishi Ciye." ” "It turned out to be Taishi Ziyi, who swept through Wuzhong counties last year and shocked Jiangdong, no wonder he was so heroic, this person can't be defeated if he is not Bofu."

Zhou Yu sighed, in the face of such fierce generals, none of the generals under his command are his opponents, but on the contrary, there are thousands of cavalry soldiers under the command of this person, and he is good at commanding the cavalry to charge the battle, after Zhou Yu's soldiers and horses are checked today, there are only more than 7,000 people left, where do they dare to open the formation and continue to attack the city, he can only summon Sun Ce on the one hand, and at the same time order the generals who guard the counties behind him, and gather the collected soldiers to gather here, ready to fight again
