Chapter 340: Single-minded revenge
A huge fleet of ships sails on the Yangtze River.
Lu Meng, Gan Ning, Ling Tong and others will stand on a huge building boat, looking at the river ahead.
Gan Ning's eyes flashed with a fierce light, staring at the looming public security city in front of him, and said coldly: "The last time we attacked Jingzhou failed, this time we must succeed, especially Ma Yan'er, I must cut him with a thousand knives!" β
The last time Gan Ning and Lu Meng attacked the public security, Gan Ning had just arrived in the public security and led his troops to raid Shuizhai to establish a great achievement, but he didn't expect that not only did he not succeed, but he was seriously injured in the middle of the ambush, and hundreds of his Jinfan brothers were also buried in the belly of the fish.
It's over before it even starts.
Thinking that he Gan Ning is a general in Jiangdong, he was lying in bed before the battle started, unable to participate in the next war, which is a great insult.
Gan Ning swore that this time he must wash away the humiliation and use Ma Yan's head to justify himself.
Although Ling Tong and Lu Meng did not speak, the hatred in their eyes was unmistakable.
"Governor Qiyu, the public security water village is empty, and the water village has been burned!"
There was a small boat on the opposite side of the ship, and the scout who was in charge of finding out the news on the ship reported the news to Lu Meng on the ship.
Ling Tong smiled when he heard this: "Sure enough, I gave up the water village. β
Hearing this, Lu Meng smiled and said, "If Shuizhai doesn't give up, it will lose even more." β
This time, Guan Yu took away 30,000 soldiers and horses, resulting in a shortage of troops in Jingzhou, and there were only 5,000 people in the public security, so Ma Jian could only choose to defend one.
Obviously, Ma Jian must choose to defend the city, and if he chooses to defend the water village, the city will be lost. Without the city, the army will lose food and grass, and after a long time, it will perish.
As he spoke, the fleet sailed some distance, and at this moment he could already see the public security city on the shore.
Gan Ning looked at the public security city and said, "There are only five thousand people in the public security city, why don't we take down the public security first?" β
Lu Meng shook his head and said: "No, Ma Jian is not an easy person, although we have a lot of soldiers and horses, but if we want to win the public security, it will take more than half a month."
Now that Pang Tong has led the army to suppress Shamoke, if we delay the time in the public security and let Pang Tong come back, it will not be so simple to take Jingzhou. β
Gan Ning nodded and said, "Then let Ma Jian live for a few more days, let's take Jiangling first!" β
"Brother Yifeng!" Lu Meng looked at a man standing behind him and said, "Please lead five thousand soldiers and horses to watch Ma Jian here." β
"No!" Zhu Ran nodded lightly.
Zhu Rannai is the adopted son of Jiangdong elder Zhu Zhi, and he is also a famous general in Jiangdong, and his fame is only under the four major governors of Jiangdong.
Lu Meng said to the other soldiers and horses: "The rest of the men and horses will follow me to Jiangling!" β
After LΓΌ Meng asked Zhu Ranliu to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to stay, he didn't stop at the public security for a while, and led the main force of soldiers and horses to Jiangling.
At the head of the city, Ma Jian and the generals looked at the river at the head of the city, and after seeing Lu Meng's division of troops to Jiangling, one of the generals said with a worried face: "General, Lu Meng has divided his troops to Jiangling, how is this good!" β
Ma Jian smiled and said, "Don't worry, Jiangling is guarded by military divisions!" β
Hearing this, the first general was puzzled: "But didn't the military advisor go to suppress Shamoke?" β
The corners of Ma Tan's mouth hooked slightly: "The military advisor knows that this is Jiangdong's strategy, how can he still be fooled?" β
The generals were relieved when they heard this, as long as Pang Tong was in Jiangling, then Jingzhou would not be fine.
Zhu Ran led the soldiers and horses to be stationed in the public security city, on the one hand, he was watching the horses, and on the other hand, he was responsible for transporting grain and grass for Lu Meng's soldiers and horses.
And LΓΌ Meng led the convoy to Jiangling.
Jiangling was very close to the police, and in the afternoon, LΓΌ Meng led his troops to Jiangling.
The gate of Gangneung was closed, and there were only a few thousand soldiers and horses on the head of the city, standing sparsely.
Lu Meng looked at the Jingzhou army on the head of Jiangling City and said with great joy: "Pang Tong really led his troops to Wuling!" β
Gan Ning rubbed his shoulders and said excitedly: "Let's lead the troops to attack now, and we can take down the public security before dark." β
Ling Tong shook his head and said: "I don't recommend attacking now, we are sailing on the river every day these days, the brothers are in a hurry, there is no need to rush the siege of the city, we have brought grain and grass with the army, let the brothers go to camp first, rest for a night, and it will not be too late to attack the city tomorrow."
But I'm a little strange, did Pang Tong really lead Liu Chan's soldiers and horses to suppress Shamoke? With his ability, he should be able to detect that Shamoke's rebellion was secretly pushing us forward, so why did he lead 6,000 soldiers and horses to Wuling?
Wuling also has a lot of county soldiers, send two or three thousand people, even if you can't defeat Shamoke, it's okay to hold out, leaving four thousand soldiers and horses, where does he get the confidence to hold our attack. β
Lu Meng groaned: "There seem to be more than 4,000 soldiers and horses in the city, I heard that Liu Chan came with 2,000 soldiers and horses, and there are more than 10,000 soldiers under the forbidden command, among those soldiers, it should also be possible to send some people who have no relatives and no reason to defend the city, so the strength of the public security is not 4,000, but nearly 10,000!"
I guess Pang Tong personally led the army to Wuling, probably thinking that Jiangling would not be lost in a short time, and Pang Tong also wanted to subdue Shamoke and gather Shamoke's brute soldiers to deal with us together. β
"Ten thousand?" Gan Ning's brows suddenly furrowed.
If Gangneung City has 10,000 soldiers and horses available, it will not be easy to attack.
Hearing this, Lu Meng smiled and said: "Don't worry, the 10,000 soldiers and horses I said, there are many Cao troops surrendered, and Pang Tong doesn't dare to trust them too much, if these people are allowed to take weapons, they will defect."
Therefore, Pang Tong asked them to carry some equipment to defend the city at most, which was no different from the people. β
While a few people were talking, the fleet had already docked, and the Jiangdong army carried heavy equipment from the ship and set up camp outside Jiangling City.
It soon got dark, and Pang Tong quietly came to the city with Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao looked at the Jiangdong military camp under the city and said: "Military division, the Jiangdong camp doesn't seem to be well guarded!" β
Pang Tong smiled and said: "Of course, the Jiangdong Army came here from Jiangxia, although it was by boat, but it was also very tired for several days, and it was already afternoon when I came, and there was not much time for LΓΌ Meng to set up camp, and many tight fortifications were too late to build."
The most important point is that the Jiangdong Army thinks that our troops in the city are insufficient, and they have the heart to underestimate the enemy! β
Zhang Bao was overjoyed and said: "So tonight, I can lead my troops to raid the Jiangdong camp!" β
"That's exactly what I wanted!" Pang Tong nodded, looked at Zhang Bao and said, "Virtuous nephew, there is no one available in my city, everything depends on you!" β
Hearing this, Zhang Bao patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, I will prepare soldiers and horses!" β
