This is a court decision, a decision made by the monarch. If you, a general, delay further, you may be charged with some crime. This is also the reason why King Wu is dissatisfied.
The letter came again, and Pei Zong had no choice but to obey the emperor's order. However, he had an extra thought and did not transfer all the main force of the Wu army to the north. Instead, he left an elite navy stationed at the key crossing of the river: Deyang. .
Deyang is a large waterfront city south of the Yangtze River. You can see the river view from some elegant restaurants in the city.
If the northern army wants to cross the river and enter Wu territory, this is also the first place to rush after crossing the river.
In ancient times, when marching and fighting, land transportation, whether it was food, grass or troops, was not as convenient as waterway. Therefore, the Wu army moved north very quickly. They crossed the river in a warship, landed, and marched more than a hundred miles to Linzhang.
With the actions of Wu Jun, the battle situation in Xiangyang also changed greatly.
Because these two cities are complementary to each other, the Qin army is only attacking unilaterally from the northwest line, and Linzhang is to the right of Xiangyang. The Wu army can take military actions at any time, cooperate with Xiangyang, and use various tactics.
At this time, despite the superior strength, it was almost impossible to capture Xiangyang.
After learning the news, Han Zhou wiped away his previous sadness and couldn't help but look up and smile, saying: "Now the Wu army is stationed in Linzhang, the war situation is clear, Xiangyang is worry-free."
"Yes, Marshal Han. This time King Qin marched south and raised an army of 500,000. In the end, all he could do was waste money and food and leave in frustration..."
"Haha, you are right. As I expected, King Qin will withdraw his troops in a short time." Hanzhou was in a good mood.
At the same time, the Qin army camped.
Inside the tent, the generals were lined up on both sides, all dressed in armor and with swords hanging on their waists, all looking at Xiao Yuan directly above them.
The latter stood in front of the handsome case and said straight to the point: "Our fierce offensive against Xiangyang successfully put military pressure on the Chu State and forced the Wu army to go north."
"However, in order to achieve the final strategic goal, our army needs to expand the Xiangyang front and separate the connection between the main force of Wu and Chu and Jiangling."
Xiao Yuan's intention was obvious. If Xiangyang could not be captured, he would use this to attract the main force of the enemy army, and then give up decisively and move to Jiangling.
The Qin army has a superior strength and can leave 200,000 troops to continue the confrontation with Wu Chu on the Xiangyang front, constantly involving them, while the other 300,000 troops can quickly rush towards Jiangling.
This military decision was quickly finalized, and Xiao Yuan immediately ordered the generals and issued combat orders to various ministries.
The battlefield situation has undergone earth-shaking changes again.
With the large-scale movement of the Qin army, Pei Zong quickly realized that something was wrong. When discussing the troops, he said with some worry: "Now the King of Qin is not attacking Xiangyang, but is extending the front line. I'm afraid that his strategic goal is not to This."
"General, what do you mean..." the deputy general couldn't help but ask.
Pei Zong shook his head. Although he said nothing more, the worry in his heart became even worse, and his brows were furrowed.
In this North-South battle, Wu Chu made a serious military mistake, that is, he placed all his main troops near Xiangyang. He believed that the Qin army should not cross the river if this area was not lost. However, Xiao Yuan's military decision before the battle, It is in Tu Jiangling.
This is a typical attack on the east and west, and it is still based on a grand strategy. You don't know where the enemy is attacking, and you don't dare to disperse your troops, so it is difficult to defend.
A few days later, General Peng Shuang led the vanguard troops to Jiangling.
Jiangling is a large county in the Wu State to the north of the Yangtze River. Its geographical location is also relatively important, so there are defenders in the city all year round, but the number of troops is not large, about ten thousand.
Xiao Yuan's order to Peng Shuang was very clear: capture this place at all costs.
On the plain outside the city gate, the army was stretched out, with flags flying.
In the center of the city, guard Yu Fangzheng grinned secretly and said to his lieutenant: "Has the urgent letter been sent out?"
"Back to the general, I've already sent people to hurry up and we'll arrive at the royal court in a few days." The deputy general returned.
"Now the Qin army is coming to attack. I wonder how long Jiangling can defend it." Yu Fang was worried. As a general, before the Qin army had even reached the city, he had naturally received the intelligence and had already sent out a request for help yesterday.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the city. Peng Shuang was riding alone, holding a long sword, and rode to the city. He raised his sword and shouted:
"Wu Jun in the city, listen!"
"Now that the army is pressing down on the territory, if we resist stubbornly, there is only one way to die!"
"I order you to turn on and off quickly, otherwise it will be too late when the city is destroyed!"
His shouts were heard in the city. General Wu saw this and couldn't help but clasped his fists: "General! The enemy is arrogant. If the last general asks for his orders, within three rounds, his head will be beheaded!"
Everyone was riding alone to call for battle, which was very depressing for morale. Yu Fang first looked down, and then said seriously: "Okay! General Du, I want you to kill the enemy general quickly to enhance the prestige of our army!"
"I have the order!" The Wu general lifted up his robe and walked down quickly.
"Bang the drum!" Yu Fang also waved his hand.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The drummer waved his arms.
The drums beat loudly at the top of the city.
Not long after, the city gate slowly opened.
"Come and accept your fate——"
Wu struck the horse's leg with his sword and rode out.
The horse's hooves trampled the ground, which was quite menacing.
Peng Shuang frowned, shook the reins, advanced instead of retreating, and charged back towards the opponent.
The horses galloped, and the two sides met instantly. The sound of weapons clashing was heard, and they passed each other. General Wu turned his horse's head again, roared angrily, and his eyes widened, as if he was fierce.
But before he could get closer, the long knife in Peng's hands had already struck upwards from bottom to top.
General Wu was shocked and had to lift the reins sharply. The war horse neighed, its front hooves raised high, and the blade passed through the horse's belly. Only then did he barely escape the blow.
But just as the front hoofs of the war horse stepped down, Peng Shuang flipped his wrist, instantly changed his stance, and swept forward with his long sword.
The cold blade flashed with cold light. Wu Jiang's pupils shrank violently, his eyes full of horror, but now it was too late to hide!
There was a pop, blood sprayed out, and the severed head fell down to the neck!
ah! ? Yu Fang's eyes widened. Didn't he say that within three rounds, the opponent would be killed? His face was full of disbelief and shock.
The soldiers at the top of the city who had been shouting and cheering just now also lost their voices in an instant.
On the other hand, the Qin army all waved their halberds, and their morale increased greatly.
With one hand he flicked the long sword to draw blood, Peng Shuang held the reins with his left hand, the horse walked back and forth, and shouted again: "Is there a general who can fight!?"
Hearing the shout, Yu Fang finally came to his senses. After swallowing hard, he subconsciously pointed his fingers and asked: "The enemy...who is the enemy general?"
"I am General Peng Shuang!"
"Ah!?" Yu Fang's expression changed again.
General Peng Shuang followed the King of Qin Xiao Yuan and fought in the south and north, which had already shocked the world.
If he had known beforehand that this was Peng Shuang, he would have killed him and he would not have sent his generals out into battle.
