To the south of where Lu Xun was stationed, Li Dian and Liu Xian's troops also met Pan Zhang and Lu Fan.
Completely different from Zhang Liao, Li Dian, known as a Confucian general, did not take the initiative to attack. Instead, he put his troops in a defensive position, waiting for Pan Zhang and Lu Fan to attack.
Liu Xian was a scribe. Although he couldn't understand the name of this formation, he saw Li Dian dispatching his troops and generals. The whole process was like flowing clouds and flowing water, like arms and fingers. The movements of the cloak behind him were swaying in the wind, which was indescribably elegant.
He admired Li Dian's calmness in the face of danger, waved his folding fan and said, "This way, Pan and Lu can hardly invade!"
Li Dian smiled and ignored him. He waved his left arm and his cloak flew. He got off his horse and stood at the front of the soldiers with his gun in hand.
When he stood in the military formation, his elegant appearance immediately disappeared, and he seemed to instantly turn into a battle-hardened veteran, staring sharply at the oncoming troops.
Pan Zhang led the cavalry in front, and Lu Fan led the infantry behind. The two Jiangdong generals had already discovered that Cao Jun was well prepared, but when they rushed here, how could they retreat.
"Charge!"
Both of them were young and energetic, and they all worked together to kill Li Dian in an arrow formation.
However, Li Dian's troops formed a semicircular formation and began to besiege Pan Zhang when he rushed in.
Li Dian personally led the soldiers to fight on the front line, and soon Pan Zhang's cavalry was trapped in a mud ball surrounded by his soldiers.
Pan Zhang was charging into the formation for a while, but he had no choice but to hear Lu Fan behind him: "I'm here to save you!"
The two of them joined forces and withdrew from Li Dian's formation. They retreated several hundred meters before stopping.
After counting the soldiers, they found that not many of them had died, but they could not overwhelm Li Dian's infantry.
Pan Zhang squinted his eyes and said to Lu Fan, "Let's come again!"
"good!"
This time, Lu Fan led the cavalry and Pan Zhang led the infantry. However, Li Dian used his old tricks again. When they rushed in, they were stuck in the quagmire and they finally managed to get out.
Seeing that the opponent did not attack again, Li Dian came back, mounted his horse, and reorganized his soldiers to fill the gaps everywhere.
Liu Xian came over and said: "At one stroke, it will weaken again, and then it will be exhausted. If we rush over now, we will definitely kill the opponent!"
Li Dian shook his head: "After all, we have not established a stronghold. We rely solely on formations to defeat the enemy. It is just a temporary measure. The enemy is indeed elite. The two charges did not cause much damage. The elite are still there. If we rush over at this time, we will give the opponent more damage." Chance."
Liu Xian said in surprise: "Then let the other party charge?"
"if not?"
Li Dian asked back, remembering the poem Cao Wu gave him last night.
Li Dian was born in the Li family and had a very good upbringing. Compared with generals with poor backgrounds such as Le Jin and Zhang Liao, he was worthy of the name of a Confucian general. In every battle, he could clearly analyze the situation between the enemy and ourselves and make accurate judgments. This was something even Cao Cao could not achieve. I also admire it.
He is not good at charging, but he is good at military formations. Cao Wu and Lu Xun placed him here to resist the two most powerful young generals in Jiangdong.
Under Liu Xian's puzzled gaze, Li Dian remained patient and did not take the initiative.
Pan Zhang and Lu Fan kept charging at Li Dianbu, but they made no achievements and soon lost their spirit.
Li Dian assessed the situation, looked at the opponent's dejected look, and finally pulled out his sword from the horse's belly.
"Independence is quiet on three sides, and suicide is known with a sword."
This is what Cao Wu said. Li Dian held the sword in his hand and said with a smile: "Let's see if we can subdue the two generals with this sword!"
"charge!"
In the southern battlefield, Li Dian sounded the clarion call for counterattack.
When defending, he stood on the front line, but when charging, he stayed behind. As a Confucian general, he has to take charge of the rear area, and the opportunity to attack is already in front of him.
…
On the shore, Xu Huang and Huang Zhong were in a stalemate with Zhou Tai and Huang Gai's navy. Every navy must be equipped with a large number of bows and arrows. Jiangdong's army kept shooting from the river, and Xu Huang and Huang Zhong were pinned down by the river.
Xu Huang cursed and said to Huang Zhong: "Old General, what should I do?"
Huang Zhong was not well-known at first. His ability to pinpoint Cangwu with three arrows and draw a three-stone bow impressed all the generals of Cao's army. Xu Huang was very impatient and admired Huang Zhong, even though Xu Huang was a bastard. General, Huang Zhong was just a captain, but Xu Huang took the initiative to ask Huang Zhong for his opinion.
Huang Zhong glanced back. Their battlefield was the closest to Lu Xun's central army, and it was also the most important. No matter what, there could be no chaos, so he had to grit his teeth and said, "We'll wait until the other party gets off the ship!"
Xu Huang sighed helplessly. If the opponent didn't get off the ship, they really couldn't attack them for the time being, so they could only stand in a stalemate here.
But they were in a stalemate here, but the stalemate in the western battlefield could no longer be maintained. Xu Sheng, who rushed over from the western battlefield, although the smallest in number, was the most elite unit in the Jiangdong Army.
The other teams were all composed of Jiangdong Army and Jiaozhi soldiers. Only Xu Sheng's team was composed entirely of Jiangdong Army. Judging from the configuration, Zhou Yu had high hopes for Xu Sheng.
Xu Sheng did not let him down and rushed to the front himself.
Xing Daorong, who was responsible for resisting Xu Sheng, also took the lead. When he saw Xu Sheng, he shouted: "I will accept my fate!"
"Who are you?"
Xu Sheng had never heard of this person.
Xing Daorong snorted coldly and said in half a sentence: "Say my name and scare you, I am..."
He raised the ax in his hand and shouted: "General Lingling, Xing Daorong!"
When he shouted these words, he did not know his fate, nor did he know what changes the changes in the western battlefield would bring to the entire war.
…
At the same moment when the battle on the Baiteng River began, the battle in front of Guangxin City also ushered in the most important change.
The siege force led by Jiang Xin personally finally broke a gap in Guangxin's city gate.
Guangxin is a big city with more than one gate, but Cangwu is the gateway for exchanges between Jiaozhou and the Central Plains, and commerce is prosperous. The place Jiang Xin chose to attack is the gate where merchants usually come and go from Guangxin.
Because the merchants had carriages and horses, they needed wider gates. The gates here were not opened like other places with a thousand-pound drop. Instead, they were two gates blocked by door bolts and heavy objects.
This gate, which usually facilitated transactions in the city, has now become a breakthrough. The guards originally deployed here were enough to deal with Jiang Xin's attack, but Yang Ling took away a large number of people, and the city gate was no longer safe.
A dozen of Jiang Xin's men held the battering ram and smashed it so hard that the city gate was about to break.
Jiang Xin looked at the city wall happily. Lu Meng had already stepped up his offensive. It seemed that it would be difficult for Le Jin's reinforcements to support this city wall. His chance had come.
"First up, first up!"
Jiang Xin roared, and his soldiers all used their strength, and the huge city gate was knocked open by them.
With a harsh "creak" sound, the two doors were quickly pushed open.
Jiang Xin's army burst into cheers, and he ascended the city first. He could not say the glory and wealth, but the reward of a hundred golds was indispensable.
Cao Jun on the city wall was filled with despair.
This kind of message did not need to be delivered by messenger at all. Lu Meng soon learned the news that the city gate had been breached.
"Reserve team!"
Lu Meng raised his sword and shouted.
The rear troops of Jiangdong Army began to move towards the city gate where Jiang Xin was.
Jiang Xin laughed heartily. This time, his name will always be engraved on the top of Guangxin City.
As for Le Jin, Chen Dao and others, their faces were ashen.
Will the city be unable to be defended?
