Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and even the most powerful commander cannot account for everything. The cessation of the war is not something that one party can control. Once the two sides have launched a real fire, the problem cannot be solved by sending envoys to each other.

Cao Cao didn't want to seize the four counties in Jingnan. If the army had enough food and grass, he wouldn't mind giving Jiangdong Army a profound lesson.

The most powerful force in the Jiangdong Army is the naval force, and its ability to fight on land can only be said to be acceptable. There are fierce generals in the Jiangdong Army, and there are even more fierce generals in the Cao Army. When dealing with the Jiangdong Army, compared to fighting Lu Bu, we have to let

People are much more relaxed, and General Cao Jun has the most obvious experience in this regard.

Facing the army under Lu Bu, even though Cao's army was elite, Lu Bu's army was not only elite, but also absolutely crushed Cao's army at the level of fierce generals. This put Cao's army at a disadvantage when fighting against Lu Bu's army.

The generals of Cao's army would rather face the powerful Jiangdong Army than fight Lu Bu. This was not only the case with Cao's army, but also with the generals of other princes' armies.

The soldiers under Lu Bu's command have used their strong strength to make the soldiers of other princes fear them.

At this time, Wuling's Jiangdong Army had reached 23,000 soldiers, while the defenders in Wuling City only had 3,000 people. With 3,000 people facing off against more than 20,000 Jiangdong Army soldiers, if Deng Xishang had not had some means, the city might have been destroyed.

It had been defeated by Jiangdong Army long ago.

The original defenders of Wuling County were not that many. However, after the betrayal of the four Jingnan counties, Liu Bei took more precautions against the four Jingnan counties and appointed Deng Xi as the prefect of Wuling County. However, the military strength of Wuling County did not increase much.

, which put Wuling County into the current situation.

When Cheng Pu saw Sun Ce, he looked ashamed. He led thousands of troops and failed to capture Wuling County. Sun Ce led the Jiangdong Army to capture Changsha County, Guiyang County and Lingling County one after another.

"In the end, I have failed my lord and failed to capture Wuling County." Cheng Pu said with a red face and clasped his fists.

Sun Ce said: "Deng Xi, relying on the advantage of the city, does he think that he can stop the army under my command with the city? This battle is not the fault of General Cheng. After I lead the troops to defeat Wuling, I will definitely defeat him."

Deng Xi beheads him!"

Seeing that Sun Ce had no intention of blaming him, Cheng Pu was relieved, "My lord, Deng Xi has some tricks in leading the army. I will try to contact the aristocratic families in the city and open the city gate. I don't want Deng Xi to find out."

Zhou Yu said: "Deng Xi was originally an official under Liu Biao and had some abilities, but he wanted to join Cao Cao."

Sun Ce was quite depressed. When he attacked the four counties of Jingnan, he could clearly feel that the reason why the four counties of Jingnan resisted Jiangdong's army was because they wanted to join Cao's army. Sun Ce asked himself whether his attitude towards aristocratic families and talents was better than

It was not much different from Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao relied on Liu Cong in his hand to gain the support of the officials of the four counties in Jingnan. If Cao Cao led his troops to attack the four counties in Jingnan, you can imagine what the scene would be like.

"Gong Jin, do you have a good strategy to attack Wuling County?" Sun Ce turned his attention to Zhou Yu. In the process of attacking Jingzhou, Zhou Yu's strategy played a crucial role. Otherwise, Jiangdong Army wanted to defeat Guiyang County and Lingzhou.

It will take some time to defeat Lingjun.

The war has progressed to the present level, and it has changed from a competition between the three parties to a contest between Jiangdong Army and Cao Army. If Wuling County cannot be defeated as quickly as possible, once Cao Army arrives, Jiangdong Army can only

Facing the end of retreating troops.

In common with Cao Cao's understanding, Sun Ce did not want to go into full-scale war with Cao's army in Jingzhou. After all, they also had a powerful enemy, Lu Bu. If Lu Bu rose, Cao's army and Jiangdong's army would face a dangerous situation.

The princes were afraid of Lu Bu because of the strength of Lu Bu's troops. People like Yuan Shao were all destroyed in Lu Bu's hands.

Zhou Yu said: "My lord, Deng Xi has led his troops well and defended the city. If he wants to attack Wuling County, the only way is to attack the city."

Facing such enemies who are defending the city is the most troublesome. If the food and supplies in the city are sufficient, it is possible that it will take a year or even longer to conquer a city. The equipment on both sides is not very sophisticated.

With a large gap, the defenders have the advantage of the city and are more likely to cause damage to the enemy.

Jiangdong Army began a fierce siege. Different from Cheng Pu's offensive when he attacked Wuling County, Jiangdong Army attacked Wuling County from three sides, which further divided the strength of the Wuling defenders. The original number of defenders was at a disadvantage.

, and withstanding the attack of so many Jiangdong troops, the city was in danger for a while.

However, Deng Xi mobilized the power of the aristocratic families in the city at this critical moment. Perhaps because he really did not want to surrender to the Jiangdong Army, the aristocratic families in the city were more cooperative and sent 80% of the family's private soldiers to provide for them.

Under Deng Xi's command, the defenders of Wuling County also showed absolute tenacity in the face of the powerful Jiangdong Army.

Especially when the aristocratic families in the city learned that Cao Jun had conquered Jiangling, they were even more excited. As long as they persisted until Cao Jun arrived, they would be the final winners of this war.

Compared with Jiangdong's army, Cao's army was obviously more elite, and Jiangdong's army was just a bandit on the battlefield. They took advantage of the battle between Cao's army and Jingzhou army in Xiangyang to seize the city.

Of course, if the princes who captured Jiangling were replaced by Lu Bu, the situation would change completely.

With the help of private soldiers, the defenders barely withstood the fierce attack of Jiangdong Army. Although a large number of soldiers died every day, under the mobilization of Deng Xi, the defenders in the city broke out a powerful force at the critical moment.

Combat effectiveness, of course, had a lot to do with Deng Xi secretly spreading how brutal the Jiangdong Army was.

After five consecutive days of attacking the city, they did not make much progress, which made Sun Ce frown. The scouts reported that after Jiangling was conquered, Cao Cao had led 50,000 soldiers and horses towards Wuling, leaving Jiangdong Army with no time left.

Much more. Judging from the situation of the Wuling County defenders, it is clear that they do not want Jiangdong Army to take over Wuling.

Attacking a city is not a battle in the open air. No matter how many strategies you have, if you cannot attack the city, it will be in vain.

Sun Ce was so angry that he launched a non-stop siege day and night. He wanted to tire the defenders to the greatest extent and seize Wuling County. As long as he captured Wuling and defended the city, it would be easy to repel Cao's army.

Next, Sun Ce felt that he was no weaker than Cao Jun. The only thing that made him afraid was the heavy cavalry in Cao Jun.

On the battlefield in Jingzhou, Cao's heavy cavalry made great achievements, which Sun Ce coveted so much that he ordered Yu Fan to buy fine war horses from Chang'an and return to Jiangdong. Only fine war horses can withstand greater pressure.

Bear weight.
