Chapter 2994: The Great Army
This alone is enough for many people.
In an era when human life is like nothing, it is extremely difficult for the common people to obtain a stable life. Once the war starts, the common people are the people at the bottom and are at the mercy of others. Their lives are extremely yearning, and only when they stabilize can they not have to worry about their lives.
But now, the arrival of the Qingzhou Army has spread the breath of war in Lujiang County.
Shouchun City can be said to be high and deep. At the beginning, Yuan Shu called himself the Son of Heaven in Shouchun, which promoted the prosperity of Shouchun to a certain extent, and made Shouchun an important city in Jiujiang County.
Even in a famine year, the people in Shouchun don't have to worry about food. Just relying on fishing can save many people from starving to death in troubled times.
But wars are different. After the enemy army arrives, not only the defenders in the city, but even the people will suffer a lot. The people yearn for a peaceful life, but the ambition of the princes requires the occurrence of war.
After the arrival of 10,000 troops, the Jiangdong army in the city chose to surrender. The reason why they opposed the order of the prefect of Jiujiang County was that they pinned their hopes on the reinforcements of the Jiangdong army. The army has been abandoned by the Jiangdong Army.
This kind of abandonment made Shouchun's Jiangdong Army defender very frustrated, so he simply opened the city gate and chose to surrender.
After appeasing the soldiers and civilians in the city, Huang Zhong set his sights on Lujiang County.
Five days later, Zhang Xiu led an army of 6,000 troops to arrive. After the army of Yinling arrived, Huang Zhong had 20,000 troops in his hands. He fought against Guangling County, Jiujiang County and Lujiang County. The Qingzhou Army mobilized a total of 25,000 soldiers. Horse, after removing the army guarding the city, there are 20,000 troops that can be mobilized.
After Zhang Xiu heard the news that Ji Ling had died in Lujiang County, he also sighed. The two were both lieutenants of the Qingzhou Army, and there was competition between them, but Zhang Xiu still knew Ji Ling's ability. There are even more advantages in combat.
An army of 20,000 was marching towards the Lujiang River. At this moment, Sun Quan sent 3,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce Lujiang County.
In this way, Yu Fan had 7,000 troops in his hands.
After receiving reinforcements, Yu Fan had a lot of confidence in the next battle. With a 7,000 army and the advantages of the city, it was no problem to defend against the attack of 20,000 Qingzhou troops.
After the 20,000 troops formed a formation outside the city, the defenders of Lujiang were shocked. Although they defeated the cavalry led by Ji Ling in the front, there was still a big difference from seeing the arrival of 20,000 Qingzhou troops. , the army of the Jin State has always shown an extremely strong side in front of the princes.
No matter how powerful the enemy the Jin army is facing, they will eventually be defeated by the Jin army. This seems to have become a law, which also makes the army fighting the Jin army have to be more cautious, especially For generals in the army, prudence is even more indispensable.
At this time, Yu Fan had gathered the food, grass and luggage from various cities in the Lujiang River, and he had the momentum to fight to the death with the Qingzhou Army on the road general battlefield.
However, the army of the Jin State did not take the opportunity to capture these cities. The number of troops outside the city and inside the city was about one to three. Such an advantage in strength cannot be said to be obvious. It is still quite difficult to break through the city. After seizing other cities in Lujiang County, the strength of the army will inevitably be dispersed. As long as the Qingzhou Army can break through the defenders of Lujiang in one fell swoop, the rest of the matter will be much easier.
Just like the Qingzhou army broke through Jiujiang County, the county city in the hands of the Qingzhou army can disperse the fighting spirit of the defenders everywhere, so that they have to make more wise choices after the arrival of the Jin army.
Yu Fan climbed to the top of the city and looked at the densely packed army outside the city. He would inevitably feel a little panic in his heart, but as an official of the state of Wu, he had to stand up in times of crisis.
Ji Ling is the deputy general of the Qingzhou Army, and if he could die in his hands, it would be the same for the arrival of other Jin troops.
Through the Qingzhou Army, Yu Fan felt a different atmosphere. Compared with the defenders inside the city, the Qingzhou Army outside the city exuded an elite atmosphere, as if fighting such an enemy army would inevitably fail. The feeling made Yu Fan startled.
Although Yu Fan is a civil servant, he has experienced many battles, and it is very common to personally kill the enemy. He has faced powerful enemies many times, but Yu Fan has never felt this way.
The Qingzhou army outside the city is more elite than the Jiangdong army inside the city, which can be seen from the performance of the soldiers.
Especially at this time, as the general of the army, he must maintain a peaceful mind. If the general has already developed fear before the war begins, it will not benefit the entire battle at all.
"Where is Yu Fan's son? Seeing the arrival of the Qingzhou army, hurry up and go out of the city to meet him." Zhang Xiuce immediately stepped forward and shouted.
Yu Fan's face was gloomy when he heard that the enemy army went to fight outside the city at such a time. If the Jiangdong Army dared not fight in the face of such a situation, what kind of thoughts would the soldiers in the army have.
Morale, for an army, has an indelible effect. An army with high morale can show stronger combat effectiveness when facing the enemy, while an army with low morale will be more powerful when fighting. You will suffer a lot.
"Who is the enemy general? Report your name." Yu Fan shouted.
Zhang He used all his energy and said, "This is Zhang Xiu, a general of the Jin Kingdom."
"Another general of the Jin State?" Yu Fan feigned surprise and said, "I don't know how many generals the Jin State has. How can a random person dare to call himself a general in front of me? That arrogant general of the Jin State before , has died from the injuries of this general, I wonder how your Excellency is capable?"
Yu Fan's triumphant words made Zhang Xiu furious, but one of them was above the city and the other was below the city. Even if they lead the cavalry forward, relying on the riding skills of Lieyang bow cavalry can bring certain damage to the defenders. But this kind of damage does not have a great impact on the defenders.
"Son Yu Fan, dare you to be so presumptuous in front of the army. If you have the guts, you can lead your troops out of the city to fight this general to the death." Zhang Yun shouted.
"Being brave and ruthless in front of the battle is what ordinary people do. This general has the advantage of the city, why should he give up his own advantage to fight with you? You don't have such experience. How dare you call yourself a Jin in front of me?" General of the State of Jin, if everyone in the State of Jin was like you, I would have already defeated you." Yu Fan retorted bluntly.
