Chapter 186: The Change of Yong'an (I)
It is not easy to attack Yong'an City from that direction, but no matter how strong the fortress is, if it can be attacked from the inside, it can be easily achieved.
There are two roads through Yong'an, one waterway and one land, and the waterway naturally does not need to enter Yong'an City, but the Yangtze River has a narrow channel near Yong'an, and standing on the wall of Yong'an, Yashi can completely block this waterway. As for the land route, it is necessary to enter the east gate of Yongan City, pass through the city, and exit through the west gate.
In this way, it provides an opportunity for the Wu army, when passing through Yong'an City, suddenly launched a sneak attack, surprise, attack it unprepared, and take Yong'an City in one fell swoop, if there is a chance to attack and kill Luo Xian, it can get twice the result with half the effort, anyway, the defenders of Yong'an are only about 5,000 people, and 30,000 Wu soldiers enter the city, that is, they occupy an absolute advantage, not to mention that these 30,000 soldiers are all elite soldiers selected by Lu Kang, and the Shu army has lost its geographical advantage, and in the street battle, it will definitely not take any advantage.
Compared with the deep-eyed Lu Kanglai, Deng Liang was much more excited, his eyebrows were dancing, and he was full of interest, as long as he led the Wu army into Yong'an, his mission to Dongwu was successfully completed, and Deng Liang was already fantasizing about returning to Chengdu to be rewarded.
"General Lu, there is Yong'an City in front, I have already passed through the Luo Dudu, and I will provide all the convenience for the general to cross the border." Deng Liang said with a smile.
"There's Captain Lao Dengdu." Lu Kang was polite.
Deng Liang smiled and said: "How dare you, this time General Lu went to Shu to rescue him, it was hard work. In the bottom of a little cotton thin. It should also be done. The war ahead is urgent. I also asked General Lu to clear the customs and rush to Langzhong as soon as possible, and as for the grain and baggage required by the army, it will also be transferred to the army in full, so please rest assured that General Lu can rest assured. Deng Liang was overjoyed, but he did not forget to urge Lu Kang to speed up the march through Yong'an City, this was an agreement between him and Luo Xian, so naturally he couldn't tell Lu Kangming.
An imperceptible coldness swept between Lu Kang's eyebrows, but in an instant, he returned to normal. With a smile: "Certainly, that is certain." ”
In the blink of an eye, the warship had docked to the Yongan Wharf, and Deng Liang and Lu Kang went ashore together. The people and horses of the land resistance were divided into two routes, the waterway went along the Xiajiang River, and the land route passed through the mouth of the gorge and reached the city of Yong'an.
At this time, Yong'an City was already open, and the Wu army entered it.
Although Lu Kang had also received a lot of information about Yong'an before, when he really set foot in this city. Still made him secretly surprised. Yong'an City is built on the mountain, facing the river in the south. The north side is against the mountain, naturally the pattern of low south and high north is formed, there is only one east-west street in the city that runs through the east gate and the west gate, in addition to this street, the other small streets and alleys Shu soldiers are armed with guns and knives, and they are on full alert, obviously Wu soldiers are not welcome.
Lu Kang frowned, it seems that the hostility of the Yong'an defenders is still very deep, although it is said that the Wu army has entered the city, but the unique geographical environment of Yong'an City is not very favorable to the Wu army, all the troops can only stay on a narrow street, and there are Shu army fortifications on both sides, if the Wu army wants to attack, it is obviously impossible to deploy a large army.
"Why don't you see Radhu?" Lu Kang asked as if he was very casual.
Deng Liang was a little embarrassed, and covered it up with a gentle cough, and said: "It's really unfortunate, Luo Dudu has been caught with a cold in the past few days, and he is sick on the couch, so I can't meet the general, I'm really sorry." ”
Occasional wind chill? Lu Kang secretly sneered in his heart, Luo Xian will be sick, to hell with it! I'm afraid that at this moment, Luo Xian is hiding in a dark corner, peeking at his side, it seems that the plan to capture him by approaching Luo Xian in one fell swoop cannot be executed, and if you want to take Yong'an, there is only a strong attack, and there is no other way.
Fortunately, now that the Wu army has entered Yong'an, if it is blocked outside Yong'an City at this moment, Lu Kang believes that even if he transfers all the 100,000 troops, he may not be able to take Yong'an City, and from the outside, the defense of this city is simply impeccable.
"It's getting late, I don't know if Captain Deng can let our army spend the night in the city, this barren mountain and wilderness, camping is inconvenient." Lu Kang asked tentatively.
Deng Liang hesitated for a moment, and said with a dry laugh: "General Lu doesn't know, this Yong'an City is small and narrow, and if your army of 30,000 horses stays in the city, accommodation is indeed a big problem." Ten miles out of Yong'an in the west, there is a place called Feiyunpu, the terrain is flat, the most suitable for camping, in the next has already let people put down the cow wine in Feiyunpu, for the army to catch the wind and wash the dust, General Lu might as well move Feiyunpu, how? ”
Lu Kang laughed twice and said, "Okay, okay, the guest is as you please, and it will be arranged by Captain Deng." "In fact, Lu Kang didn't really want to stay in the city, Fang Cai's words were just a test to see if the Shu people were on guard, and sure enough, just like Luo Xian did not come forward, Deng Liang did not agree to stay in Yong'an, obviously, the Shu people are still very wary.
However, Lu Kang didn't care, since he had entered Yong'an City, it was already too late for the Shu people to be on guard, and now they were ready to send it.
Lu Kang's general Zhang Xian summoned him and said, "This governor ordered you to rush to Feiyunpu immediately to prepare for camping." When he said this, Lu Kang secretly gave Zhang Xian a look.
Zhang Xian immediately understood, surrendered his promise, and led the leading troops to the west.
According to the prior plan, Zhang Xian led the army not to Feiyunpu at all, but to cross Feiyunpu and rush to Qingxikou, thirty miles away from Yong'an City. Qingxikou is a dangerous terrain, is the only way in and out of Yong'an, Zhang Xian was ordered to rush to Qingxikou, is to block the passage in and out of Yong'an, for the time being, only allowed to enter but not out. This is the most important part of the land resistance plan, unexpectedly, after taking Yong'an unconsciously, the Shu Han court in Chengdu may still be in the dark, and then the Wu army can still use the banner of assistance, but it is not to march into Langzhong, but to attack Chengdu directly.
After arranging all this, Lu Kang decided not to delay any longer, now half of the 30,000 troops of Wu have passed through Yong'an City, and the other half is still dragging behind, and the streets in Yong'an City can only accommodate thousands of Wu soldiers at most, if the march continues, most of the Wu army will cross Yong'an City, which will be unfavorable to the Wu army. Seeing that the time was ripe, Lu Kang gave an order, and the Wu army immediately switched from the marching state to the offensive mode. (To be continued......)
