[Chapter 795] A wave of unevenness and a wave of 2/2
At the same time, Zhou Yu also intended to help Sun Ce once, so that he could collect the soldiers and horses in Anyi and evacuate Anyi after bringing enough grain and grass.
The whole plan was almost flawless, reasonable, and well-founded, so that Lu Su was kept in the dark, and he couldn't see a single flaw, and he also testified on behalf of Zhou Yu to prove that his secret discussion with Sun Ce was all about formal needs, and not a private meeting.
It's a pity that Zhou Yu never thought that his selfishness could be hidden from Lu Su, but he couldn't hide Li Li'an's meticulous work in Hedong County.
More importantly, Li Li prepared a two-handed plan to cut off the retreat of the Allied forces and prevent them from crossing the Yellow River north. The plan on the surface was that Zhou Yu's army would storm Anyi City and capture Anyi within two days. The plan hidden in the shadows was that in order to ensure that the war in Hedong would not be on a business trip, Li Limi ordered Yan Xing, the commander of Eagle Eye, to infiltrate Anyi City with Zhengu, and then plotted against Yang Chou to kill Zhang Yang, causing civil strife in Anyi City.
With both hands in this way, it will be easy to break through Anyi City, and it is even very likely to annihilate the allied forces inside and outside Anyi City in one fell swoop.
And Yan Xing and Zheng Gu secretly plotted against Yang Chou, but Zhou Yu had no way of knowing. If he had known in advance that Li Li had arranged a qiē, he would definitely not have consulted with Sun Ce again, because this was redundant; Not only will it not help Sun Ce to annex the soldiers and horses in the city and increase his strength, but it will also pull Sun Ce's men and horses into the melee, so that in the end, the gains outweigh the losses.
It was precisely because of the lack of prior knowledge that the city of Anyi, which could have been taken down with a drum, fought fiercely from the fifth watch in the early morning to the afternoon, and the two military camps outside the city fought fiercely, and the city was even more chaotic.
At five o'clock that night. Sun Cejun, who had been lurking near the north gate for a long time, immediately seized the city gate as soon as the appointed time came, and welcomed Zhou Yu's army outside the city into the city. What I never expected. When Sun Cejun was about to act, he happened to meet Yang Chou's subordinates who came to Kaecheng to ask for surrender, so a battle began in an instant. At that time, Sun Cejun dispatched a total of more than 5,000 people, and the leading general was Han Dang; There were as many as 20,000 soldiers and horses under Yang Chou, and Yang Chou personally led the army. In addition, more than 1,000 defenders of the North Gate are also flamboyant. In the case that Zhang Yang did not show up, these soldiers naturally obeyed Yang Chou's orders.
As a result, two large armies with the same goal in mind engaged in a fierce battle in the North Gate City. At first glance the war. The more than 5,000 Jiangdong soldiers led by Han Dang were defeated and retreated by the 20,000 soldiers and horses under Yang Chou's account, but Han Dang did not give up lightly, and the direction of retreat was precisely the North City Gate. In fact, he just wanted to use the 5,000 soldiers and horses under his account to drag Yang Chou's army. And he himself is retreating. Waiting for the opportunity to approach the north gate, and then open the city gate to welcome Zhou Yu's army into the city. In his opinion, as long as the city gate is opened, Zhou Yu's army will attack from outside the city, and he will lead thousands of soldiers and horses to take advantage of the situation to counterattack.
However, just as Han Dang retreated to the city gate with more than a hundred personal soldiers. The defenders of the city gate suddenly fired a flurry of arrows. A round of random arrows came down, and more than 100 of Han Dang's personal soldiers around him were shot and killed. Even he himself was frightened by two arrows, and fled back into the army, not daring to go even a step closer to the city gate. Fortunately, he should not have died, although he was hit by two arrows, but neither of them hit the vital point; It's just that he was injured and bleeding, and his combat effectiveness dropped sharply, and he couldn't die for a while.
It's just that in this way, the situation of the 5,000 Jiangdong soldiers under Han Dang's account is very bad, they are besieged and intercepted by the 20,000 Yang Chou army, and they are completely in a situation of passive beating, which is extremely dangerous and in danger of destruction at any time.
At the same time, Sun Ce himself led more than 5,000 soldiers and horses to surround the county guard. Originally, his planned plan was to capture Zhang Yang alive, and then take Zhang Yang hostage to force Zhang Yang's soldiers and horses to surrender to him. After settling Zhang Yang's department, he led a large army to rush into the southern courtyard to suppress Jiang Qi's department, disarming and surrendering it in one fell swoop, and this was a great success. In the end, after he collected these soldiers and horses, he went to the granary to carry the grain and grass baggage, and he could take as much as he could; When Zhou Yu's army entered the city, he led his troops out of the city from the east gate, and then took a boat south to Sili, went to Jiangjindu through Nanyang, and then returned to Jiangdong.
It was well planned, and even the path to the south after evacuating Anyi City was thought out. But Sun Ce never dreamed that when he led the army to rush into the main hall of the front yard of the county guard's mansion, the huge mansion was empty, so that he thought he had been ambushed, and carefully searched room by room, and then found Zhang Yang's headless body in the front yard and inner hall. And the reason why Sun Ce was able to recognize the headless corpse as Zhang Yang's corpse was because he had been with Zhang Yang before the third watch, and the moment he saw the headless corpse, he recognized the headless corpse lying in a pool of blood as Zhang Yang.
Immediately afterwards, after a search by the soldiers, it was found that Zhang Yang's family members in the backyard were also slaughtered, and dozens of men, women, and children were all executed.
Zhang Yang's whole family was wiped out!
This discovery shocked Sun Ce, and he suddenly felt that the shape was not good, and he wanted to lead the army to evacuate the county guard. Without thinking about it, before he walked out of the main hall, he was blocked by Jiang Qi's troops who rushed to the wind, and Jiang Qi led his own soldiers directly into the front yard.
In an instant, Jiang Qi understood that Zhang Yang's family, old and young, had all been wiped out by Sun Ce, and Zhang Yang's head had also been cut off by Sun Ce. As far as the eye can see, it's miserable!
Suddenly, Jiang Qi knew that Sun Ce had defected from the allies without much thought, otherwise how could Zhang Yang's family be murdered. Immediately, Jiang Qi, who was furious, led more than 6,000 Jizhou troops to attack the compound from the main gate, and Sun Ce, who was speechless, had to lead 5,000 troops to rush out from the courtyard, trying to seize the door and escape. As a result, tens of thousands of horses on both sides were crowded in the narrow front yard of the county guard's mansion, staging a tragic hand-to-hand fight.
As the battle broke out one after another between the city gate and the county guard, the garrisons in the entire Anyi city rushed to the city after hearing the news and threw themselves into the battle. It's just that almost all the soldiers who came later were Zhang Yang and Jiang Qi's soldiers and horses, and everyone had the same goal, to besiege Sun Ce and his Jiangdong soldiers. In this way, the two battlefields fought almost simultaneously, and as many as 30,000 Zhang Yang and Jiang Qi's army joined forces to besiege Sun Ce in Jiangdong. Sun Ce's soldiers and horses in the city only had more than 10,000 horses, and the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses were still stationed in the North Gate camp ten miles outside the North Gate.
Sun Ce, who was in danger, miscalculated this time, it was really a person who was not as good as the sky, and stealing chickens would not make rice. I wanted to take one last handful before leaving, and then slap my ass and leave, but I didn't expect to calculate and calculate myself instead, where to reason.
This big melee lasted for more than an hour, until the sky was bright, Yang Chou's troops on the battlefield of the north gate killed Han Dang and fled, and more than 5,000 Jiangdong soldiers finally only more than 400 people followed Han Dang out of the encirclement and fled to the east gate in a hurry.
After the victory, Yang Chou also knew that Jiang Qi was leading his troops to fight with Sun Ce in the county guard, and learned that Sun Ce had killed all the old and young of Zhang Yang's family. This surprised him, but keenly aware of the great opportunity hidden in it, so he immediately ordered someone to open the city gate to welcome Zhou Yu's army into the city. And he himself led more than 10,000 troops straight to the county guard's mansion, and gathered stragglers along the way, whether it was the flamboyant troops or the Jizhou army, all of them were included in the account.
At this time, Yang Chou planned a more ambitious plan, that is, to lead his troops to surround the county guard, trying to besiege Sun Ce and Jiang Qi's soldiers and horses in the county guard, and when the Xiliang army arrived, they could wipe out the remnants of these allied forces. Now that he has killed Zhang Yang, if Sun Ce and Jiang Qi are trapped again, then this credit is big enough, enough for him to jump into the dragon gate and worship the marquis. As soon as he thought of this, Yang Chou was extremely excited, complacent, feeling that the future was bright, and his fighting spirit was unprecedentedly high, and he led nearly 20,000 horses all the way to the county government.
The ensuing battle situation was as Yang Chou expected, he smoothly surrounded the remnants of Sun Ce and Jiang Qi, waited for Zhou Yu's army to arrive, and then annihilated the two allied forces together. However, when Zhou Yu personally led the army to arrive, the first shot was to wave the army to attack Yang Chou's army, and this scene of drastic changes was like a basin of cold water pouring Yang Chou's heart cold, and he was at a loss. At this time, Sun Ce and Jiang Qi, who were trapped in the mansion, somehow relieved their suspicions, united to break through the encirclement, and went straight to the east gate.
Just as Zhou Yu waved his army to attack Yang Chou's department, the eagle-eyed commanders Yan Xing and Zheng Gu, who had been hiding in the shadows, appeared in front of Zhou Yu in time. At this moment, there was no way to know what they were talking about, because the only people present at that time were Yan Xing, Zhou Yu and Lu Su.
However, after a little conversation, Yan Xing took over the army, and immediately received nearly 20,000 surrendered troops from Yang Chou's department, and led his troops to pursue the remnants of Sun Ce and Jiang Qi's troops who fled to the east gate. The Anbei general Zhou Yu followed Lu Su and Zhenggu into the county guard mansion until Yan Xing led the army back from pursuit, and recorded in detail that when the battle passed through the Flying Eagle and sent a message, Zhou Yu never showed up again.
????????????
"Zhou Yu is indeed a rare general, I don't want to do such a foolish thing this time, it's really a pity!" After learning the details from Guo Jia's mouth, Jia Xu shook his head and sighed with a complicated expression.
Guo Jia nodded lightly, opened his mouth and wanted to echo Jia Xu's words, but suddenly saw Li Li appear behind Jia Xu at some point, and he immediately fell silent and silent.
"I've always wondered if I was too lenient in dealing with Sun Ce before? But now it seems that I have not done enough, look at what Zhou Yu has done, you can know how big the gap is. Brotherhood is indeed worth cherishing, and I have never objected to this, and I am willing to support it. It's just that if someone takes the life of my Xiliang soldier as a child's play, but some people inevitably don't take me Li Li in their eyes and treat my Xiliang military discipline as nothing? ”
As he spoke, Li Li's expression was extremely calm, as if he was saying something irrelevant, and his tone was so flat that he was a little indifferent.
After a pause, Li Li walked out of the city tower lightly, and said as he walked: "This matter is over, and no one is allowed to discuss it in the future." At present, our army has frequent wars, the battle of Sili is resting, and the war in Hanzhong is breaking out again. The herald ordered Teng Xiao to take over the soldiers and horses of the state, Tie Xiao to take over Hedong County, and serve as the chief general of Anyi, and Zhou Yu was transferred back to the Chinese army as the chief secretary of the army. The army will return to Guannai tomorrow, and after Zilong returns from Xingyang, he will reward the whole army for three days! ”
