Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 746: Siege but not attack

Chapter 746

Ling Tongyi grasped the head of the city, finally rushed to the top of the city, lying on the ground apart from anything, panting heavily.

After Ling Tong, more than a dozen soldiers rushed to the top of the city with all their energies, and lay down as well. The sprint just now exhausted all their energy.

Ling Tong gasped for a few rough breaths, and walked over with a shadow, covering the sunlight.

Ling Tong's fierce heartbeat gradually slowed down, and he said with shame on his face: "Father, the child knows that he is wrong, please father to punish him."

"You, have been reckless since childhood!"

Ling Cao deplored: "The most regrettable thing is that these five hundred brothers are all my Jiangdong elite teachers. Because of your small negligence, they are all ruined now. What do you think you should be guilty of?"

Ling Tong knelt on the ground and whispered: "Please punish the school lieutenant."

Although he is his own son, how can he let him go in full view?

Ling Cao said solemnly: "Come on, take Ling Tong to the general and behead to show the public!"

After all, Ling Cao turned his head, tears were already streaming out of his eyes.

The soldiers on the side were naturally shocked when they saw that Ling Cao was about to kill his son, but it was impossible for Ling Cao to kill his son, so they all knelt down and asked.

"A tiger poison can't eat children, how could the captain kill Ling Sima?"

"Ling Sima is also trying to save my Jiangdong army officer, Lieutenant Ling think twice!"

"This move is a treacherous trick by Cao Jun, don't be fooled by Lieutenant Ling!"

Jiang Dongbing rushed up and knelt beside Ling Cao, persuading him to persuade him. Ling Cao naturally didn't want to actually kill his son, so he borrowed the donkey from Po.

Ling Cao shouted angrily: "You wicked son, the death penalty is forgiven, the living sin is inevitable! Come on, get on me, hit fifty army sticks!"

Sergeants on both sides immediately stepped up, each with a thick-mouthed army stick in their hands, just looking daunting.

Happiness!

With each stick hitting Ling Tong's ass, he snorted, but he clenched his teeth and refused to make a sound.

A thick-mouthed army stick hits a person’s ass. In fact, less than ten sticks can blur a person’s flesh and blood. The fifty army stick hits Ling Tong. The blue veins on both sides of his face bulge high, and every tooth is given. Crushed.

"Thank you for the military law of the school lieutenant."

After Ling Cao finished fighting Ling Tong, he scanned the surrounding Jiangdong soldiers and said solemnly: "Listen well, no military orders are allowed from today, no war without authorization, offenders engage in military law!"

"promise!"

Jiang Dongbing agreed in unison. They all witnessed the brutality of Cao Jun just now. Not only were they strong in combat, but also so cunning. Who would go out to fight Cao Jun?

After this battle, the Jiangdong soldiers in the city were awe-inspiring to Cao Jun. Naturally, they did not dare to go out of the city to fight again, but insisted on the city.

However, Xia Houyuan did not directly use his army to attack the city. He has rich experience in battlefields, and naturally knows that the cost of siege is huge. Moreover, Wu County is the seat of Wu County. The city wall is tall and strong, and there are many defenders in the city. In the city, it is necessary to mobilize more than five times more soldiers. In other words, Xia Houyuan said that there should be 30,000 troops.

As a result, under the eyes of the Jiangdong Army, it was seen that more than 10,000 Cao Jun did not attack the city, but dug trenches around Wu County. The trenches were dug out and surrounded Wu County. Xia Houyuan commanded Cao Jun to dig three trenches inside and out. It was difficult for Jiangdong Army to attack Cao Jun even if he wanted to leave the city.

While Xia Houyuan led his troops to besie Wu County, he also dispatched soldiers and horses to intercept reinforcements sent by other counties to Wu County. After these reinforcements were defeated, Wu County was naturally helpless.

And Xia Houyuan didn't worry about food and grass in a short time, except for the food that came from the ferry, all the food and grass that defeated the Jiangdong Army were collected into the barracks. Because this is an expeditionary operation, Xia Houyuan adopted the method of "raising the war by war", often sending Cao troops to the surrounding villages and towns to looting, so the camp is still rich in grain and grass.

Xia Houyuan besieged and did not attack, but Sun Quan was also very calm, holding on to Wu County without sending troops.

"Sun Quan hasn't sent a messenger to inform Zhou Yu?"

"Yes, uncle."

Xia Houyuan looked at the head of Wu County from a distance, and sneered: "I can't tell, this Sun Quan is said to be only twenty years old. Under the pressure of my army, he can even hold on not to send a letter to Zhou Yu for help.

Xia Houshang agreed: "Yes, the prime minister praised Sun Ce at the beginning, and Shi'er can't compete with him. Unexpectedly, Sun Quan is rather like a brother."

After thinking for a while, Xia Houshang suggested: "Uncle, how about our army attacking Wuxian? Maybe under our army's offensive, there are casualties in the city, this Sun Quan can't help but ask Zhou Yu for help?"

Xia Houyuan thought for a while, but shook his head.

"No, our army will expedition to Jiangdong, and one death will be lost. The army must not be consumed in the siege."

Xiahou Shangwei said: "Then how can Zhou Yu lead his army back to help?"

The reason why Xia Houyuan’s army as a remote division made an expedition to Jiangdong was to force Sun Quan under pressure to get the Jiangdong main force led by Zhou Yu to return to aid. As a result, flaws would inevitably appear, and Cao Cao would seize this. Fighters broke the main force of Jiangdong Army in one fell swoop.

Once Zhou Yu's troops are broken, the main force of the entire Jiangdong army will disappear, and the six Jiangdong counties will naturally become a piece of fat, which Cao Jun can take down casually.

Xia Houyuan smiled and said, "Isn't Sun Quan unwilling to let Zhou Yu lead his army back to aid? Isn't we letting Zhou Yu back to aid?"

"How do we get Zhou Yu back for help?"

Xia Houshang guessed: "Could it be that someone pretended to be the Jiangdong Army messenger?"

Now that the army has seized many Jiangdong army suits, it is not difficult to pretend to be the Jiangdong army messenger.

Xia Houyuan shook his head and instructed him: "Go and order to pass the news that our army has been besieging Wu County in groups to the prime minister, and by the way send some Jiangdong army prisoners captured by our army to the prime minister's army."

"promise."

...

Outside Shu County, in Cao Cao's camp.

"New news came in seconds?"

When Cao Cao heard the news, he was beaming and stretched out his hand and took the document from the messenger. After opening it and reading it, the more he looked at it, the more he was delighted. After seeing this, the surrounding civil and military generals did not know what happened. But since Cao Cao is in such a good mood, it seems that something good must have happened.

Cao Cao put down the letter and smiled and said: "Everyone, Miao Cai led an army to expedition across the sea from Guangling. Now he has conquered Wu County counties and led his troops to besiege Wu County Tuan Tuan. Sun Quan and Jiangdong's ministers have become the turtles in the pot!

"What? Sun Quan has been trapped?"
