Chapter two hundred and fifty eight defensive posture(1/2)
With the outbreak of the war in Yuzhou, the situation in the world also reversed. Yuan and Cao confronted Yingchuan, and Chen State was in stalemate, but the heroes from all sides pointed their finger at the southeast Yuan family, which occupies Huainan.
All forces from Xuzhou, Jingzhou and Xiliang Army launched an offensive under the Yuan family.
The storm is about to come and the wind fills the building.
But even so, the current situation seemed to be unfavorable to Yuan Shujun, but under the orderly defense line, the battle situation still inevitably became a stalemate.
Huang Zu and 30,000 navy masters went back to the river and made a move to advance to the land of Jiangdong again.
But he did not expect that before he arrived in Jiangdong, he was in the upper reaches of Chaisang, where Chibi was located on the east bank of Wulin, and was attacked by Zhou Yu's tribe.
A fierce battle.
Although Huang Zu's army had the advantage of military strength, with many warships and sufficient armor, it was still at a disadvantage under Zhou Yu's powerful naval army command.
The first battle was unfavorable.
Huang Zu had no choice but to temporarily retreat to Wulin Port, which was west of Chibi, to guard the defense.
When he was defeated in the first battle, Zhou Yu immediately waved his hand and ordered the troops to camp in Chibi to start a confrontation with Huang Zu's army.
After this collision, the offensive of the Jingzhou army was curbed.
The defense line in the eastern part of Yuan’s army was stabilized.
In Xuzhou, the pressure faced by Yuan Jun doubled a lot.
Liu Bei originally intended to quickly invade the counties in Jiangbei, seize the Huaihe River Basin, and drive the Yuan family to the Yangtze River to the south.
Therefore, this time, all the elites gathered together to break through the Yuan family's Jianghuai defense line.
Although Yuan Shu adopted Zhang Xun's suggestion and summoned the people to join the army one after another, Ji Ling was appointed as the general and headed the army to the Zhongli defense line to reinforce Zhang Xun's troops to help him defend.
However, because the main forces of the Yuan family are currently on the front line of Yuzhou, and the army is filled with most new troops who have taken the battle for the first time, their combat power is weak.
Faced with the strong attack from Xuzhou's powerful troops, Yuan Jun's defense was extremely difficult.
Moreover, Guan Yu, a first-class general, was still in charge among the enemy, so the pressure on Yuan’s army can be imagined.
Even though Ji Ling, who has always been the bravest of the three armies, left the city to challenge him, after about thirty rounds, he gradually lost his strength under Guan Yu's sword and gradually lost his strength.
Under the continuous offensives, Zhang Xun had to grit his teeth and shrink his defense line and defend it.
Then the other side quickly rushed to Shouchun to ask for reinforcements.
When he received Zhang Xun's battle report on the first day of the Chu Dynasty, Yuan Shu couldn't help but look anxious and a little panicked. In a panic, he was worried that Zhang Xun and Ji Ling could not defend the defense line north of Shouchun and would be broken by the Xuzhou army.
The Xuzhou army was ordered to kill to the hinterland of Huainan and threatened its own rule.
With this, he actually intended to transfer Yuan Yao to send his main force back to help.
Faced with this situation, as soon as Zhang Rong learned about it, he immediately rushed to the palace with a hurried expression and persuaded him: "General, our army in the counties in Yuzhou is now new. If we do not gather heavy troops, we will deter all parties."
"I am afraid that when the army is transferred, Yuzhou will be surrounded by enemies. At that time, the situation may be worse!"
After saying that, he took a slight look at Yuan Shu's expression and then continued, "It's better for the general to send someone to Xuchang first to see how the young master responded and then decided on it, can it be done?"
A word.
Looking at Yuan Shu, he seemed to be vaguely afraid of Liu Bei's army's strength, as if he wanted to make up his mind to order the main force to return to the aid.
In order to make the overall situation the most important, Zhang Xun hurriedly spoke and advised him.
He knew that although the situation he was facing now was extremely tense, if he suffered a breakthrough, the consequences would be unimaginable!
But if this crisis can turn danger into safety and turn danger into safety.
Then, the general trend will be extremely beneficial to the army.
As long as the Xinde County of Yuzhou is stable, it will only be a matter of time before the Yuan family’s background is fully based on the Central Plains!
It is an inevitable trend to be targeted by various forces at present.
This is Zhang Xun's opinion.
Perhaps because Yuan's family has too much background and its development momentum has been too rapid over the past year, it will naturally be subject to crazy targeting.
This is really too normal.
But Zhang Xun could see the opportunity of Yuan's family.
As long as the forces can fight to the death this time, they will completely stabilize the counties and counties in Yuzhou, the day of Yuan's counterattack will follow.
If the main force is suddenly transferred to the rescue at this moment.
Of course, it can withstand the offensive of the Xuzhou army.
But what should I do if the counties and counties in Xinde in Yuzhou?
Moreover, Yingchuan, Chenguo and other places border Yanzhou and Jingzhaoyin. Once the main force is transferred, there will inevitably be a large vacancy in Yuzhou.
By then, the Cao army and the Xiliang army would inevitably pounce on them like bloodthirsty hungry wolf and bit them hard.
Once you suffer from such a situation, the battle situation that Yuzhou has finally established may be ruined.
If the situation changes like this, even if we defend the Xuzhou offensive, what can we get?
If we cannot lay the overall situation in Yuzhou, wouldn’t the land of Yuzhou that we have planned so much effort this time fail?
After listening to Zhang Xu's analysis, Yuan Shu also chose to accept his suggestion, so he immediately sent someone to Xuchang again.
Arrive in Xuchang City.
After Yuan Yao learned about the current military newspaper from the messenger.
Yuan Yao also still looked extremely calm on his face.
He showed a sign of being ready to plan and pondered calmly: "I ordered Taishi Ci from Chen County to send his troops to attack Xiapi County."
"Jiang Qin obeyed the order, you led 5,000 infantry and cavalry to lead the army to Chen County's support, thinking that it was the support of Taishici's troops."
"Here!"
As Jiang Qin bowed his hand to receive the order, he immediately dispatched troops and generals.
Yuan Yao is also not worried about the battle situation in Huainan.
He was not in a hurry at all in this matter.
Shouchun was in the north of the defense line, but he was not worried at all that Liu Bei could make a breakthrough in the short term.
As early as after leading his troops south to quickly pacify Jiujiang County, he had a premonition that when he competed in the Central Plains in the future, Huainan might be attacked by the enemy.
Therefore, Yuan Yao had already ordered sufficient preparations for the defense line north of Zhongli and Shouchun.
But now Liu Bei doesn't have so much time to attack.
Yuan Yao could have imagined that the man should have been conspiring to this matter and preparing his action plan?
With this in mind, Yuan Yao still had a smile on his face. He continued to write a letter in person and continued to hand it to the messenger, and instructed him: "If you return to Shouchun, please tell General Zuo that the current crisis seems to be in an unfavorable situation."
"But in fact, our army is the one that benefits the most."
"Let General Zuo not be restless!"
After receiving the approval, even though it was a messenger, he could not help but be full of doubts.
What is the situation...
His lord is facing the current crisis and the situation of fire everywhere. He is already busy and anxious and anxious.
But why is the young master still smiling so calmly?
With such deep doubts and trust in the young master, the messenger quickly turned around and returned.
Under Yuan Yao's calm command, a month passed in a row. Even though all forces were targeting Yuan's cleverly, they still did not gain the upper hand.
The offensives of all parties were basically resolved, as if a pair of iron fists hit the cotton.
Even Liu Bei's army, which had the most rapid offensive, was greatly reduced under Yuan Yao's command.
Since some cities in the south of Pei State were too close to Huainan and it was difficult for Xuzhou to effectively control it, it was basically a selective abandonment.
This gave Yuan Yao the opportunity to lead his troops to Xia Pi.
Since receiving Yuan Yao's order, Taishi Ci did not dare to neglect, so he immediately led his infantry and cavalry to march south along the Pei Kingdom, raiding Xiaqiu and other places west of Xia Pi.
Since Xuzhou's powerful troops have basically gathered in Xuyi and Zhongli front line, although Zhang Fei, a general guarding the rear, the combat power of the soldiers cannot be compared with that of Taishi Ci's powerful troops.
Moreover, there was also Jiang Qin and others behind Taishi Ci.
At this moment, Taishici was almost brave after raiding Xiapi County. He sent troops to plunder and harass various cities one after another, broke the government, opened warehouses and released grain to win the hearts of the people of Xuzhou.
This tactic basically angered Zhang Fei.
When Zhang Fei heard Yuan Jun’s actions, how could he bear this anger?
In a rage, he could not accept Chen Deng's idea at all, and directly ordered the only 7,000 people in Xia Pi City and rushed towards Yuan's army!
As Jianfeng pointed, the soldiers under his command were greatly encouraged by Zhang Fei's heroic spirit.
Morale is available.
After hearing that Zhang Fei personally led the attack, Taishi Ci also had a clear idea and immediately reduced his troops and gathered in Xiaqiu to defend him, so as to start a tug-of-war with Zhang Fei's army.
