Chapter 135: Kill one first to boost morale

"Yes, that's what I said!" Pang Tong nodded and said: "But the previous county order came to pass the message, and when he learned that Zhou Yu was coming, he was so frightened that he panicked, when Zhou Yu defeated Cao Thief in Chibi, which caused him to be too famous, this county order is still scared like this, let alone ordinary soldiers, if it doesn't hit Zhou Yu hard and boost morale, this Yiyang is afraid that it won't be able to hold it!" ”

Ancient news is far less developed than in later generations, the first battle of Chibi, Cao Cao actually sent only more than 200,000 troops, including tens of thousands of people, but before Cao Cao sent troops, he falsely claimed to be million, so many people in the world thought that Zhou Yu defeated Cao Cao's million army.

Another example is Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, after Cao Cao died of illness, Cao Pi inherited the throne, and later forced Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to give up and seize the power of the Han Dynasty. At that time, everyone in the world spread the news that Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was killed, and the Han court was not there, and everyone in the world thought that Liu Xie was dead, so Liu Bei ascended the throne as the emperor, rebuilt the Han Dynasty, and gathered people's hearts.

People have always said this, once they become famous, they are known to the world, and they are infinitely exaggerated.

After Zhang Liaowei shook Yaojin, his name was like this in Jiangdong to stop children crying, but I am afraid that when these children grow up, Zhang Liao's heart will be clouded.

However, is Zhang Liao really that scary? Not really.

This is also the case with the Battle of Chibi.

There are only a few people who really know the specific process of the Battle of Chibi, and most of the people can't even tell the specific troops, not to mention the specific process of the Battle of Chibi, and the division of credit, they all think that the commander-in-chief of the Battle of Chibi is Zhou Yu, and the victory of the Battle of Chibi is the credit of Zhou Yu alone.

Therefore, as soon as Zhou Yu arrived, even if Pang Tong was in Yiyang, the county order was still so frightened that his legs were weak.

When Lin Xiao heard this, he said: "Is the military advisor planning to frustrate Zhou Yu's spirit, break his invincible myth, and let the soldiers know that he is not so terrible, so as to greatly boost the morale of our army?" According to the scout's report, Zhou Yu's accompanying generals this time are Tai Shici, Han Dang, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Ling Tong and other generations, most of whom are my old people. Strategist, you asked me earlier if I wanted to take revenge, didn't you want to kill a Liwei? ”

Pang Tong nodded and said, "Yes, I already have a plan to kill the enemy!" ”

Lin Xiao hesitated: "These people are all Jiangdong generals, if they can kill one or two, it will naturally be enjoyable, but just kill ...... It's not good for the Sun-Liu Alliance! In the future, Jiangdong will attack, if he seizes the opportunity, he will not be merciful to our army! ”

Pang Tong sighed and said: "If the power between the lord and Sun Quan cannot be balanced, sooner or later the Sun-Liu Alliance will have a battle, or even several battles, this is inevitable, at the moment I just don't want to make too much revenge."

But now that the morale of our army is low, it must be so. What's more, I Pang Tong is in Jingzhou, why should he Jiangdong be soft-hearted, at present, the lord has not yet taken Yizhou, it is not appropriate to make too much trouble with Jiangdong, and wait for the future lord to determine Yizhou, if Jiangdong dares to come frequently, I will kill as many as I come! Kill one or two of him today to make him remember it for a long time! ”

As Pang Tong spoke, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

After all, Liu Bei's development direction is Yizhou, the Northern Expedition to Cao Wei, and Jiangdong's development direction is Jingzhou, it is difficult for Liu Bei to attack Jiangdong, and Jiangdong must covet Jingzhou if it wants to develop.

In other words, this kind of war is inevitable in the future.

If it is unavoidable, why be merciful?

When Lin Xiao heard this, he arched his hand and said: "In this case, if the military advisor has any strategy to boost the hearts of our army, let's just say it, and Lin will act according to the order!" ”

Pang Tong nodded and said to Lin Xiao: "Well, Jiangdong will be able to reach Yiyang tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will launch an attack, you ...... like this."

Listening to Pang Tong's strategy, Lin Xiao's eyes gradually brightened, and he said excitedly: "In this way, Jiangdong will have to suffer heavy losses!" ”

………………

…………

On the second day, Zhou Yu led a large army to Yiyang.

On the ship, the general Zhou Tai arched his hand and said: "Governor, there are only 3,000 defenders in Yiyang, let's 30,000 horses, we can take Yiyang as soon as we rush up, and the last general will ask for orders to attack it, and we can take Yiyang before sunset today!" ”

Zhou Yu waved his hand and said: "Don't attack for the time being, our army has been on the ship for three or five days, and the soldiers are tired, so let's rest and recuperate first?" Let's salute first and then soldiers, and see if we can say surrender! ”

Zhou Yu said that, he ordered the soldiers to land, let Ling Tong send troops to camp, Zhou Yu personally led Tai Shici, Han Dang, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and other generals, led 3,000 soldiers and horses to the city.

Zhou Yu urged the horse out and came to the city and shouted: "I am Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong Water Division, and the county commander in the city came out to answer!" ”

"Go up and answer!" At this moment, Pang Tong and Lin Xiao were standing beside the county commander dressed as small soldiers, and only 3,000 soldiers and horses were placed on the head of the city, and the defense was very sparse.

Before Zhuge Liang left, he sent 5,000 additional soldiers and horses to Yiyang, and there were 8,000 in the city, but only 3,000 people were exposed, and Jiangdong did not know.

When the county commander heard this, he walked up to the city, looked outside the city and shouted: "I am the county order, General Zhou Yu entered my Changsha for no reason, I don't know what happened!" ”

Zhou Yu snorted coldly: "You know what is going on, I came with 30,000 soldiers, and you only have 3,000 soldiers and horses in the city, surrendering can avoid death!" ”

Pang Tong said behind the county order: "Scold him for me!" ”

"Yes, yes!" The county commander wiped the sweat from his forehead and shouted: "Zhou Yu, you Jiangdong wolf ambition, actually took advantage of the fact that the lord was not in Changsha to sneak attack me, although you are famous, but it is just a false name, I am not afraid of you, I have three thousand soldiers and horses in the city, and I am willing to live and die with Yiyang!" ”

"Puff looking for death!" Zhou Yu's face sank, and he said coldly: "Hugh is going to talk too much, I will give you one night's time, if you don't open the city and surrender tomorrow, Hugh blames me for being ruthless after breaking the city!" ”

The county commander shouted: "You just come to attack, I'd rather die than surrender!" ”

"Go back and rearm for war!" Hearing this, Zhou Yu didn't bother to say more to the county order, and urged the war horse to return to the camp.

The next day, Zhou Yu raised an army of 30,000 to attack Yiyang.

The army set up a formation outside the city, Zhou Yu looked around at the generals around him, and muttered: "Who is willing to be the vanguard and take Yiyang for me!" ”

"The last general is willing to be a pioneer!"

"The last general, please attack Yiyang!"

When the generals heard this, they surrendered to the battle.

Zhou Yu finally set his eyes on Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, and said: "You two will lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack the city as the vanguard!" ”

"The last general commands!" Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were overjoyed when they heard this, received 5,000, and carried the ladder built by the soldiers last night to Yiyang.

Although Zhou Yu had many soldiers and horses, there were no siege equipment, and the soldiers at one night only built more than a dozen ladders, which was only enough for a few thousand soldiers and horses. If all the soldiers and horses are sent up, and the soldiers on the city head shoot them with arrows, they will let the soldiers die in vain.

Zhou Yu said to Tai Shi Ci and Ling Tong again: "Tai Shi Ci, Ling Tong, you lead five thousand soldiers and horses to respond, if Zhou Tai is in the morning, Jiang Qin can't attack Yiyang, you two lead troops to pick up!" ”

"No!" The two of them surrendered their orders.

Under the city of Yiyang, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai led 5,000 soldiers and horses, carrying cloud ladders to attack Yiyang.

There were still only 3,000 soldiers on the head of the city, and the defenses were sparse.

However, under the inner gate and on the steps of the upper city wall, there were 5,000 soldiers and horses waiting for them.

Pang Tong said to Lin Xiao: "Jiangdong Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and others are all fierce generals, brave in battle, first into battle, they will definitely personally lead the troops to attack the city, once they kill the city, you immediately lead the troops and horses to kill the city, be sure to leave Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai behind!" ”

Lin Xiao's eyes were full of evil anger when he heard this, and he arched his hand and said: "These are all Jiangdong generals who participated in the siege of me, and I will not let them leave!" ”

Under the city, the Jiangdong Army had already launched an offensive.

Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai held shields to supervise the battle under the city.

Zhou Tai kept urging the soldiers to charge: "Give me a charge, the defenders in the city are not accustomed to battle formations, and before noon, Yiyang must be taken!" ”

"Hurry up and release the arrows!"

"Where's the Rolling Stones? Give me the Rolling Stones! ”

"Splash him with gold juice, he's coming up!"

At the head of the city, the defenders of Yiyang were also "scrambling" to defend.

In the Jiangdong Army outside the city, Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile when he saw this: "The defenders in Yiyang City are negligent in the battle formation, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai must be able to take Yiyang before noon!" ”

Ling Tong sighed when he heard this: "Hey, it seems that we have no chance to attack the city, it seems that this battle feat is going to be robbed by the two of them!" ”

However, how did Ling Tong know that once Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai went to the city, they did not seize the merits of the war, but embarked on a dead end!

At the head of the city, Lin Xiao looked at it for a while, and then went down to the city to report to Pang Tong: "Military division, this Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai have been supervising the battle in the back, and they have not been on the city for a long time!" The officers and men of our army deliberately released water, and the Jiangdong Army was about to attack! ”

Pang Tong looked at the county order on the side and said: "You go to the city to supervise the battle, let the soldiers increase their strength, and let the Jiangdong Army reach a state where it is about to be captured but cannot be captured, so Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin will personally attack the city, and then let the soldiers let him up!" ”

"I'll oversee the battle myself?" The county magistrate's face turned pale with fright when he heard this.

Pang Tong's eyes widened, and he shouted: "Now that the soldiers in the city are fighting bloodily, as a county commander, don't you dare to lead by example?" ”

"Xiaguan is going, this is going!" was said by Pang Tong, and the county commander hurriedly ran to the city to personally supervise the battle.

Under the instruction of the county order, the soldiers became more serious, and for a time the Jiangdong army was resisted and it was difficult to kill the city.

Sure enough, as Pang Tong expected, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin in the city saw this situation, and planned to attack the city in person.

"The county commander personally supervised the battle, we should also be on the battlefield first, if it is not early today, Yiyang must be taken before noon, but we can't let this credit slip away in vain!"

As soon as the two discussed, they personally put on their stubbornness and prepared to attack the city.

When the soldiers at the head of the city saw Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin and the two men going out in person, they deliberately relaxed their guard against the two of them and did not focus on attacking them.

Soon, the two climbed the ladder and killed the head of the city.

"Jiang Qin! Zhou Tai, do you know me Lin Xiao! ”

As soon as the two of them killed the city, they heard a loud shout, and saw Lin Xiao holding a spear and going straight to the two of them. The soldiers defending the city also had enough strength to overturn the ladder that the two climbed to the top of the city.

For a time, the Jingzhou soldiers defending the city were extremely fierce, and they killed the rest of the Jiangdong army who had climbed to the top of the city.

In a blink of an eye, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were blocked in the city.
