Chapter 773

Chang Heng led his troops to piling county to withdraw, while Tai Shici led others to cover up.

When the two sides fled and pursued, Liu Xiu had already taken the army from Nanchang county to Wanling County, Danyang county.

Wanling county is close to Wujun and not far from the South Bank of the Yangtze River.

If you are in Wanling County, you can control the whole situation.

The army encamped.

Barracks, big accounts of the Chinese army.

Fazheng sat upright and said, "king, in Wu County, taishici is covering up the Wei army going south. On the Yangtze River, another water army blocked the rescue of the state of Wei. The war in the state of Wu will not have much influence. "

When Liu Xiu heard the speech, his face was also full of smiles.

The state of Wu has been destroyed.

The next step is to sort out Wu's government affairs and get everything back on track.

As for the Wei army going south, Liu Xiu did not pay attention to it.

There is a long river, Liu Xiu has a great advantage.

Liu Xiu's reinforcements can continuously enter the battlefield, and food and weapons can be continuously delivered.

But the Wei army going south was different.

After the Yangtze River was blocked, the Wei army, which entered the state of Wu, became a lone army.

Unless the Wei army has a strong enough water army, but under the current situation, the water army of the state of Wei can not reach such a level.

Liu Xiu looked at Fazheng and said, "filial piety and uprightness, the overall situation of Wu state is determined. In Wei, there may be new trends soon. Pay close attention and never be careless. "

"Here it is

The law should be followed.

However, in Fazheng's mind, he is still confident and not worried.

……

Wuxi County.

Taishici led the army to arrive, and the army suspended.

A sentry trotted his horse.

The sentry came to taishici and said, "general, we just found out that the Wei army retreated to piling county. Now we are defending the city."

Tai Shici sneered: "it's not so easy to defend piling county."

He waved the sentry down, but he didn't care.

As long as the Wei army is in the territory of Wu, it is a turtle in a jar.

After the rest, the army continued to go north.

……

Piling county.

Chang Heng held this place and controlled all the granaries and coffers in the county.

With food and equipment in hand, Chang Heng has no worries in a short time.

On the tower.

Zhu Qi strode to Chang Heng.

Zhu Qi's wind and cold recovered almost as well as his spirit. He arched his hand and said, "general, the food, grass and equipment in the city have been counted properly. The food in the city is enough for us to hold on for at least a month, as well as enough bows, arrows and equipment. "

"Good!"

Chang Heng had a smile on his face.

With grain, Chang Heng has the confidence.

Chang Heng changed his words and said, "we've already sent sentinels back to deliver the message. I don't know if general Yu Jin has got the message here?"

Zhu Qi said: "the sentinel is on his way very fast. There will be a response soon."

Suddenly, Zhu Qi turned to look out of the city.

Three men in black are galloping up.

These three men were not the clothes of soldiers in the army, nor were they the spies who were often sent to inquire about the trend of Tai Shici.

Three people came to the tower, headed by a humanitarian: "General Chang, villains from the general's order."

Chang Heng was very excited when he said this.

Finally, here comes the news.

Chang Heng ordered: "open the gate."

With a creak, the gate opened and the messenger entered the city.

Soon, the three men came to the tower.

The first soldier took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Chang Heng, saying: "general, this is the order of General Yu Jin."

"Well!"

Chang joined it horizontally and was ready to take it apart.

The soldier continued: "General Chang, there is another piece of news. Now that the Chu army has sent water troops to blockade the Yangtze River, it will be very difficult for our army to go south. "

When Chang Heng heard the news, he felt heavy.

Chang Heng said, "Ben will know."

He opened the letter and scanned it quickly.

After watching it, Chang Heng smiles instead and doesn't worry any more. He handed the letter to Zhu Qi and said, "Sir, have a look."

Zhu Qi also quickly browsed it and said excitedly, "ah, commander Sima made arrangements early. If so, that would be great. "

Chang Heng said: "the Chu army blockaded the river, but as long as we followed the plan of Sima's army, we were extremely advantageous."

"Yes

Zhu Qi is also full of confidence.

Chang Heng looked at the soldier who reported the news and said, "do you need to go back to recover your life?"

The soldier said, "we need to go back."Chang Heng said, "in that case, go down and have a rest first. Then, I'll go back to Guangling county. "

The soldier responded and retired.

At this time, Chang Heng was no longer worried and said excitedly, "Sir, whether the situation in Wei and Chu can be reversed has become a crucial link."

Zhu Qi said with admiration: "Sima's strategy is really powerful. But the point now is that we must guard piling County, otherwise everything will be over. "

"Well!"

Chang Heng nodded heavily.

They are in piling county.

As time goes by, it's mid October.

On this day, the sentinel reported that taishici's army was less than two hours away from piling county.

When Chang Heng got the news, he ordered to be on guard.

Two hours passed in a flash.

Taishici led a large army to the city.

The great army is in array, with strict bearing, fierce spirit and unparalleled power.

Standing on the tower, Chang Heng looked out and saw the elite soldiers of the Chu army. He couldn't help sighing: "the elite of the Chu army is rare in the world. If our soldiers confront the Chu army head on, I'm afraid they won't get any good. "

Zhu Qi said: "the general doesn't have to belittle himself. The soldiers we led are not the most elite soldiers in the state of Wei. Taishici, as the chief General of Liu Xiu's first army, was full of elite. If the tiger and leopard are allowed to ride here, it will be enough to defeat the elite soldiers of taishici. "

Chang Heng laughed and said, "it's true."

His eyes fell on the Chu army outside the city. He saw a general come out of the Chu army, and his eyes shrank.

The person who came out should be Tai Shici.

But Chang Heng is not sure. After all, he didn't deal with Tai Shici.

The person who came out was really Tai Shici.

He galloped his horse and stood up, holding a big gun, pointing to piling city from a distance. He said in a loud voice: "listen to the Wei army on the tower, open the gate and surrender. They would not have killed."

Chang Heng said: "Tai Shici, it's impossible for ben to surrender. You are just tens of thousands of Chu troops, but the Wei army under the general is tens of thousands, plus countless food and grass. It's impossible for you to conquer piling county. "

When Tai Shici saw that persuasion was ineffective, he stopped persuasion.

In the final analysis, it depends on strength.

With a wave of the long gun in his hand, he ordered, "kill!"

At the command, the soldiers under the command of taishici began to rush forward and directly attack the city of piling.

The army attacked the city in a mighty way. Catapults, crossbows and arrows were suppressed in the air, and soldiers rushed in.

In a short time, the two sides fought in the castle.

The soldiers of the state of Chu attacked the castle a little, but they were beaten down a little.

There were several battles in succession, but in the end, the county seat of piling county was not conquered. After a day's fighting, the Chu army failed to make full use of it, so they retreated and camped outside the city.
