Chapter 676: Sneak Attack on Yiyang

Yiyang County is a small county, in the first year of the Wei and Huang dynasties, Yiyang County was established in the area of four counties separated from the land of Jiangxia and Runan County, and the four counties under its jurisdiction are Yiyang, Qisi, Qixian and Xiyang, Yiyang County is located in the south of the Huai River, north of Dabie Mountain, although it is a small county, it is a strategic place connecting Jingzhou and Huainan.

However, since Yiyang County has been established for more than 40 years, although it is in the border area of Wei and Wu, there has never been a war, the main reason is that it is separated from Wuchang by hundreds of miles of the Dabie Mountain, and the Dongwu army, which is known for its naval army, naturally cannot give up its long and short to cross the Dabie Mountain to attack Yiyang, so the people of Yiyang have been living a life like a paradise.

Successive Yiyang Taishou is also a relatively idle position, because there is no war, Yiyang County has always had very few garrisons, at most only six or seven thousand people, this time the southern line to draw troops to the north, Yiyang was also taken away two thousand people, now Yiyang's county soldiers, has been less than five thousand people.

However, Yiyang guarded Xia Yi too much but didn't care, how many soldiers were transferred didn't mean anything to Xia Yi, he stretched his waist, spring is a lazy time, the afternoon sun and bustle are intoxicating, Xia Yi, who has nothing to do, reclined on the low couch, just woke up from the nap, and his eyes are still a little confused.

"Your Excellency...... It's a big deal, Wu Jun ...... Wu Jun has entered the city......" A personal entourage suddenly ran in, looked at Xia Yi in a panic, and stammered.

"What?" Xia Yi's sleepiness disappeared, and before he could sit up, a team of heavily armed Wu soldiers had already broken into his mansion, with bows and crossbows in their hands, and the light of the knives was pressing, making Xia Yi stunned.

It's not that Yiyang is not a place of war, why did so many Wu troops emerge at this time, and they also attacked the Taishou Mansion, are those defenders eating dry food?

Xia Yi became a prisoner of the Wu army at this moment, but he was angry with the Jin soldiers who were defending the city, but he didn't realize that as the Taishou of Yiyang, he should pay the main responsibility for the loss of Yiyang.

In view of the fact that the Jin army did not have any defense, Lu Kang decided to use a sneak attack on Yiyang, and the 100,000 army crossed the Dabie Mountain without knowing it, and Lu Kang sent a team of elite soldiers, disguised as the Jin army, and swaggered towards the Yiyang city gate.

The gates of Yiyang were opened, and the soldiers defending the city saw their own flags, and did not suspect any fraud, and asked where they came from.

At this moment, the leader of the team was Wu General Zuo Yi, who loudly reprimanded the guards: "Sima Yangqing, a certain Shi Du Governor's account, came to garrison Yiyang on the order of the Shi Du Governor, and when you were on duty, you dared to be so lazy, wouldn't you delay the fighter plane, come and tie up these few to me, and each person will be heavily responsible for twenty military sticks, in order to set an example!" ”

Zuo Yi was domineering, his aura was very full, the Jin army at the city gate was bluffed by him, and no one dared to come forward to verify Zuo Yi's identity at this time, even the city gate order kept begging Zuo Yi for mercy, and no one dared to doubt the identity of Sima under Zuo Yi's Yangzhou Governor Shi Bao's tent, so Zuo Yi was able to easily enter Yiyang City.

As soon as Zuo Yi led the team into the city, Lu Kang sent Wu Yan and Cai Gong to lead the troops to kill, and the Jin army defending the city saw the Wu army attacking, and their faces were like dirt, and they hurriedly closed the city gate, trying to keep the Wu army out of the city.

But at this time, Zuo Yi led his troops to make a sudden move, cut the locks, opened the city gate, and welcomed the Wu army into the city, so the Wu army easily controlled Yiyang City, and many officials who had just woken up from a nap like Xia Yi became prisoners of the Wu army without exception.

All the generals praised Lu Kang's profound strategy, and they took Yiyang without blood. Lu Kang just smiled slightly, the Jin people were lax in Yiyang, and they had already used the strategy of attacking the east and west to contain the Jin army in Shouchun and Xiangyang, so it was completely unexpected for Lu Kang to take Yiyang.

However, the idleness of the Taishou Xia Yi and the defenders still made the action of Lu Kang smoother, and most of the 5,000 defenders became prisoners of the Wu army before they could resist.

"Next, it's up to Sima Yan to deal with it!" Lu Kang stood at the head of the city of Yiyang, looking north, and secretly said in his heart.

The news of the loss of Yiyang soon spread to Luoyang, and at this moment Sima Yan's entire attention was on the western front, and the unfavorable war on the western front made him deeply anxious.

At this time, the news of the loss of Yiyang came from the southern front, which made Sima Yan even more dumbfounded.

Earlier, the news of the Wu army's attempt to attack came from both sides of Shouchun and Xiangyang, Sima Yan didn't care, the battle in Huainan was fought many times, and there has been constant friction on the Jingzhou side, so the little trick of the Wu people who wanted to take advantage of the situation had already been seen through by Sima Yan, in view of the fact that Sima Yan on the southern front had been deploying an army of 150,000 or 60,000, so Sima Yan was not too worried about the attack of the Wu people on the southern line, thinking that Shi Bao and Sima Liang would be able to deal with it.

Now Sima Yan has devoted all his energy to the battle against Guanzhong on the Western Front, which is very important to Sima Yan as to whether the Jin State can subdue Guanzhong and whether it can completely eliminate the threat from the northwest.

But when the war on the Western Front was at a stalemate, Lu Kang of Eastern Wu stabbed Sima Yan in the back, and the loss of Yiyang caught Sima Yan completely off guard.

Didn't it say that the Wu people intended to attack Shouchun and Xiangyang, daring to love this was Lu Kang's suspicious plan, and the real target of Lu Kang turned out to be Yiyang County, which no one expected.

Yiyang County is in the south of Huaishui, there are mountains and mountains separated from Wu State, it is because the front is a piece of high mountains and dangerous land, the Jin people do not pay much attention to the defense of Yiyang, everyone knows that the Wu people's water army is powerful, they fight, are around the water army, so the Wu army's attack and defense, most of them are inseparable from the big rivers and rivers, the ghost only knows when they learned the tricks of the Shu people, through the mountains and mountains, and completed the sneak attack on Yiyang.

You must know that it is not an easy task to pass through the vast Dabie Mountain for hundreds of miles, even the Shu army, which is good at mountain warfare, must also consider many problems including logistics supply, the news from Yiyang side, Lu Kang is leading 100,000 troops through Dabie Mountain, how can 100,000 troops do not know ghosts, this is undoubtedly an incredible thing.
