Chapter 425: The Long March of the Three Kingdoms XIV
In late April, as May approaches, the world begins to enter the early summer season, and the temperature soars and the weather becomes hotter and hotter
Lecheng City. β³Β’Top Novel,
It has become more and more lively, as the front station of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban to greet it, it is natural to gather countless people of the Jin Kingdom to watch the excitement.
The lively atmosphere can drive action, when the Long March team of the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans is mighty, passing by the cities of the Jin Kingdom, it also carries the thoughts of many people who can't survive in the Jin Kingdom.
This time, there were only about 900,000 Yellow Turban people in Montenegro, but because of the lack of food, they starved to death on the way, and a group of them died of exhaustion.
However, on the way, a lot of people from the Jin Kingdom were temporarily joined, beggars, and tenants, and little by little they came up, and the team became more and more crowded, and almost enough millions of people had been gathered.
The Jin Kingdom is not poor, and Jizhou is even richer, but the family is in power, the upper and lower classes are clearly distinguished, and there are still a lot of people who can no longer live below.
This team has driven the hearts of countless people in the Jin Kingdom to move forward mightily.
"We'll be safe soon!"
"When we arrive in the country of Wu, we will have grain and our own fields, we must persevere!"
Now in the first battle of Lecheng, among the teams of the Yellow Turbans of Montenegro that have spread all over the country, all the people of the Yellow Turbans of Montenegro know that as long as they cross Lecheng, there is a safe area behind them, and they can directly land on the warships of the Wu Navy.
With hope, the fighting spirit of the Yellow Turban people broke out, and the teams were moving forward nervously and rapidly.
"Gao Ming, how many people are behind you?"
The hope that the Black Mountain Yellow Turban saw, so he kept struggling to move forward, and compared to Sun Quan, at this time, he was a little nervous.
Accurate news has come from the north. Enraged, Yuan Shao had already sent a full 20,000 elite cavalry to the south quickly.
Sun Quan knew that with their current strength, if they faced the impact of 20,000 cavalry, they were afraid that there was only one way to die.
Don't look at them cleaning up Han Meng's 10,000 cavalry, it's like packing up a puppy, and it's a mess. The price to pay is heavy.
Le Chengyi, he paid hundreds of soldiers, but the Montenegrin army paid nearly tens of thousands of soldiers, not to mention the casualties of the cavalry impact before, just a few sieges, they have already paid nearly 8,000 soldiers' lives.
Among them, because of the assistance of the inner ghost of Gao Ming, the position of the county guard of Hejian County, they were able to defeat Han Meng smoothly, otherwise, they were still fighting with Han Meng's cavalry.
If you are facing 20,000 cavalry. They may only have the weight of collapse.
"Prince!"
After all, Gao Ming is the county guard of Hejian County, he has been here for two years, and he has some popular hearts, because he can make Le Cheng play the greatest use, so that the Yellow Turban of Montenegro has passed GuΓ² at the fastest speed.
When he heard Sun Quan's question, he immediately replied: "Now there are more than 400,000 people in TongguΓ² Lecheng, but there are still more than half of them!" β
"If we want all these people to pass guΓ², how many more days will we have?"
Sun Quan put his hands behind his back. The tall body stood at the head of the city, and the robe was hunting. Looking at the yellow turban people who were entering the city gate one by one, he continued to ask.
"This ...... Ten days at most, eight days at least! When Gao Ming heard this, he quickly calculated in his heart, and then replied, "This is still the case of Shun LΓ¬." If something suddenly goes wrong in the middle, it's hard to say! β
"Ten days, eight days, we don't have time!"
When Sun Quan heard this, his heart was a little cold. In his calculations, the speed of the cavalry of the Jin State was at most three days.
If their soldiers and horses are just guarding Le Cheng, there is naturally no problem, but this long dragon team outside the city has become a burden that they can't shake off.
Cavalry, a terrific type of troops, if there are more than 10,000 cavalry, the kind of magnificent formation that hits up is enough to make this people's team collapse directly, fall apart, and then flee separately.
"Junhou, this is already the fastest speed!"
Gao Ming lowered his head and said with some helpless analysis: "The people are not beaten by iron, they also need to recover their bodies, they need to rest, General Zhou Tai organized their rush day and night, all the way to come, these people are tired, so far, dozens of people have died of exhaustion." β
"A certain family knows that Zhou Tai has done his best!"
Sun Quan naturally knew that Zhou Tai had hardened his heart in order to speed up the completion of the trip, and he was in a hurry day and night regardless of their life and death.
But people are not machine after all, tired nature has to rest, to be able to do this, it is already good, if you continue to press, these black mountain yellow scarves will not be able to stand it.
Once you can't stand it and complain everywhere, it will affect the efficiency of the large army, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Sun Quan stood back and forth on top of the city, watching the teams enter and leave the city, the thoughts in his heart turned, he had to find another way to delay this time.
"Gao Ming, send someone to Zhou Tai to call so-and-so!"
Sun Quan thought for a while, and said with an elite light in his eyes: "Today's shape is not good for us, and our strategy needs to be changed, and we need to attack and defend." β
"No!"
Gao Ming nodded, and asked one of the guards under his command to ask him to invite Zhou Tai immediately.
"Prince, where are we attacking?"
"Where there is danger to the safety of our team, it is natural to fight where!" Sun Quan said coldly: "If you want to clean up this cavalry, if you can't beat it, you have to drag him down." β
"Jin Guo has already been fooled once, this time he will definitely be careful!"
When Gao Ming heard this, his eyes were a little worried, and he said, "If you ambush them, I'm afraid they won't be so easily fooled!" β
"If you're in a hurry, there's a flaw."
Sun Quan said: "It's still a little late to beat them." β
Gao Ming's eyes looked at Sun Quan's confident expression, thought about it, and didn't say anything, in the current situation, I'm afraid there is only one way.
"By the way, what's going on with the giant deer now?" Sun Quan thought for a moment and continued to ask.
The battles of Julu, Zhang Yan and Zhang Jaw are in full swing. From time to time, news also comes in.
Shuangzhang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, there are contacts and contacts, it is not up and down, seriously speaking, the soldiers of the Jin State are relatively strong, and it is Zhang Yan who is pressed by Zhang Yan to fight. But Zhang Jaw really made Zhang Yan entangled, and he couldn't go north.
In fact, Sun Quan didn't expect that Zhang Yan would be able to compete with Zhang Jaw, one of the five famous generals in history, with tens of thousands of Black Mountain troops.
Zhang Jaw, this is not a simple general, now he was the fourth court pillar of Hebei, and now he is the general of the Jin State, and he is a good general of the five sons in history.
Zhang Yan can compete with him, and it seems that he is not a simple thief.
Sun Quan couldn't wait to see the thief head of the Black Mountain Army.
"Report to the prince, they are still fighting!"
Gao Ming's hands arched. Said: "This morning, the news that the Jinyi Wei spies returned was that in the first battle of Fucheng, Zhang Yan's five thousand elites were surrounded and killed by Zhang Jaw and almost lost, but Zhang Yan made a quick decision and gave up the left and right wings. Retreat to the inner city, still nailed to the city of Fu! β
"It seems that this shape is becoming more and more unfavorable with us!"
Sun Quan heard this. sighed involuntarily, the handsome face became more and more solemn, and said coldly: "Fucheng Zhang Yan is afraid that he can't hold it, after Fucheng, he will enter Anping Kingdom, Wusui City is on the line, as long as Wusui is broken." The road of the large army of the people of Montenegro is not open, in the end it is someone else's territory, and it should not be me at all, the north and the south are beginning to approach! β
Once Zhang Jaw and the cavalry from the north were killed at the same time, he was afraid that he would have to abandon the people behind him.
But not that far. He absolutely did not want to do that.
"Junhou, the situation in the south is not so strict, Zhang Jaw wants to cross Fucheng, Zhang Yan may not be willing."
When Gao Ming heard Sun Quan's words, he didn't know how to comfort Sun Quan in his heart, so he had to whisper: "Now the danger is still in the north, 20,000 Jin cavalry, we can't stop it at all!" β
"Prince."
At this time, Zhou Tai's county soldiers, who had already counted one by one, hurriedly came.
"Youping!" Sun Quan raised his head, looked at this obviously haggard man, and said in a low voice, "We are the enemy!" β
"Enemies? Is it the north? β
When Zhou Tai heard this, his whole person became energetic, and his eyes suddenly burst out with a sharp light, and he said in a low voice.
"That's right!"
Sun Quan nodded: "The cavalry of the 20,000 Jin Kingdom, the leading general will pass through the Zhenbei general Chun Yuliang." β
"When will they be able to enter the river?" Zhou Tai hurriedly asked.
"The speed of the cavalry is very fast, at most one day, it can enter the river, and within three days, it will definitely resist Le Cheng!" Sun Quan's answer.
"We're in trouble now!"
"Three days?"
When Zhou Tai heard Sun Quan's words, his face suddenly fell, and he said bitterly: "20,000 cavalry is enough for us to be scrambling, with the strength of the Black Mountain Army and our strength, if we just hold the city, it's okay, but if we want to protect the Yellow Turban people of Black Mountain, it's impossible!" β
"So!"
Sun Quan said lightly: "We must strike first!" β
Hundreds of thousands of Montenegrin people, Sun Quan is still unwilling to give up, so he can only fight a battle and attack.
"Please make it clear!" Zhou Tai said hurriedly.
"How many people in the Montenegrin army do you think are elite?" Sun Quan looked at him and asked.
"Elite? Hehe, the fighting spirit of the Montenegrin army is good, but the fighting spirit can't be eaten, their weapons are too poor, they don't even have a piece of leather, and their combat effectiveness is not strong! β
In the first battle, Zhou Tai was already considered to have integrated into the Montenegrin Army, and the deeper his understanding of the Montenegrin Army became, the more worried he felt, did this group of people usually go to war with hoes and wooden guns?
"Tens of thousands, can't you find some elites?" Sun Quan frowned.
"Junhou, if it is considered an elite, a certain person should be able to make up 10,000 people from it!" Zhou Tai quickly replied to Sun Quan's words, and said: "The elite of the Black Mountain Army, the combat effectiveness is also about the combat effectiveness of the ordinary soldiers and horses of the Wu State. β
"Ten thousand is ten thousand, you immediately pick them out, organize them together, and prepare to go on the expedition!"
When Sun Quan heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he felt a little painful, for the Montenegrin Army, he really couldn't count on it too much, he said: "Chengping, Fuyang, and Lecheng's defense are all handed over to the other soldiers and horses of the Montenegrin Army." β
"The 3,000 Chexia Tiger soldiers under the command of a certain family, 2,000 navy, Chengping's 2,000 navy, 4,000 navy in Fuyang, 11,000 people, plus 10,000 of the most elite Montenegrin army, are preparing to go north, hoping to block their footsteps to the south!"
Sun Quan gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.
"What does the prince mean, we sent troops to ambush him?!" Zhou Tai's eyes lit up slightly.
"Wrong!"
Sun Quan shook his head and said: "It's to open the formation openly and block them, they are prepared, and with Han Meng's lesson, they are more cautious, it is difficult to be sneak attacked, now they can only erect a defensive line, fight head-on, block them, I have calculated the battlefield, there is it!" β
"Where?"
Zhou Tai looked at his finger pointing in the direction of the north, a little puzzled.
"Map!"
"In!"
"Fifty miles away from the northern suburbs of Lecheng, there is a river here, not wide, not deep, but the cavalry can't cross it, if you want to be able to come over, either take a detour or cross two stone bridges, this is the battlefield of all of you!" Sun Quan introduced.
"Got it!"
Zhou Tai looked at the map spread out by Gao Ming, and there was a strong battle intent brewing in his eyes. (To be continued......)
