Han Xiang

Chapter 554 Urgent aid to Liyang defeats Han Dang

Sun Lang was trembling beside him, neither daring to stop Sun Shangxiang nor to apologize to Long Xiang. It was not until Hao Meng and others closed the door that he felt relieved.

At this moment, Sun Kuang, who was peeping not far away, patted his clothes and came over.

"What happened just now?"

"Brother."

Seeing that Sun Shangxiang didn't respond, Sun Lang hurriedly greeted him and explained what happened in a few words.

Sun Kuang himself also heard a general idea, and asking questions at this time was just a formality.

He raised his hand to signal Sun Lang to go back first, while he walked forward and picked up the wooden sword, handed it to Sun Shangxiang and said softly: "Little sister, why are you competing with that Long Xiang? What if I was really injured by you? How can I be worthy of my mother. "

Sun Shangxiang took the wooden sword and looked at Sun Kuang seriously.

"Fourth brother, do you think I want to do this? The eldest brother and the third brother were assassinated. The second brother went to hunt down the murderer, but Long Xiang attacked Wu County. I only thought of helping the Sun family in this way, but it's a pity that this man is cunning and not fooled."

"If Long Xiang wasn't cunning, how could he control Huainan? Hearing what my little sister said, it really puts my brother to shame. He should have found a good match for you."

Sun Kuang suddenly stopped mid-sentence, then swallowed his saliva and murmured: "In the past, Yuan Shu was defeated in Huainan, and his children and ministers attached themselves to Jiangdong. In order to appease these people, the second brother took Mrs. Yuan as his concubine. Now, Wu County is occupied by Long Xiang, and the younger sister is already getting married, do you think he will?"

"I won't marry this rat."

Sun Shangxiang clenched his pink fists tightly. Although he was scolding the dragon and the rat, he was still muttering in his heart. If he could defeat Zhang Fei on his own, his martial arts would definitely not be weak.

Sun Kuang couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this: "Little sister, what are you thinking about? If Long Xiang really wants to take a concubine, can you refuse?"

"If he dares to force me, I will bring a dagger into the bridal chamber."

Seeing Sun Shangxiang's attitude, Sun Kuang shook his head and sighed: "It's okay if he is greedy for sex. The key point is that Long Xiang has a stunning beauty, and I'm afraid he is not a person who is eager for sex. What if he uses our brothers and sisters as hostages to blackmail the second brother? Brother A hard-earned foundation, alas.”

"Isn't it just Erqiao? What's so great about it? I have long decided to marry a hero."

All women love to compare, and Sun Shangxiang is no exception. Then he said seriously: "It's not surprising that a rat like Long Xiang will use any despicable means. He will definitely use us as a blackmail. Fourth brother, when the time comes, we will commit suicide and we won't let him succeed." .”

"Forehead"

Sun Kuang was startled when he heard this, and quickly comforted him: "Little sister, please calm down, things may not be that bad."

The two brothers and sisters each had their own guesses at this time, but no one bothered them since then.

Three days later, on the eighth day of the first lunar month.

The clipper sent by Liu Fu previously has returned to Wu County from Liyang.

Bring back the news that Han Dang cannot defeat Liyang in two attacks and is currently stationed in Lishui waiting for reinforcements.

The so-called waiting for reinforcements means waiting for Sun Quan's reinforcements.

After hearing the news, Long Xiang acted immediately, loaded the collected family letters on the ship, and then led Lei Xu and Chen Lan, two tens of thousands of people, to quietly leave Wuxian and return to Liyang.

It was nearly a month from the capture of Liyang at the end of last year to the eighth day of the first lunar month.

Long Xiang guessed that Sun Quan had obtained the information, and at this time he probably also quickly sailed to Liyang.

Therefore, Long Xiang must return as soon as possible. He is preparing to complete the decisive battle in the Liyang and Wuhu areas to prevent the war from burning into the newly stabilized Wu County.

When the army passed through Wucheng County, they were resting by the lake.

Zhu Huan walked to Long Xiang and whispered: "General, my troops have already set off on the sixth day of the lunar month. It is supposed to ensure peace in Kuaiji for a period of time, but the counties in the northern part of Wu County are completely unprepared. Once Lu Ziheng crosses the river from Guangling and goes south, Wouldn't tens of thousands of soldiers arrive directly at the gate of Wu County? The soldiers and people in the city have been under the rule of the Sun family for a long time. If they rebel again and return to the Sun family, General Xu may not be able to stop it, right?"

Long Xiang pinched his chin and replied solemnly: "Guangling has Chen Yuanlong in check. Lu Fan may not dare to go out in full force. Even if more than ten thousand soldiers and horses are sent to help, I still have a back-up to greet him." "Back-up? What back-up?"

Seeing Zhu Huan's surprised look, Long Xiang smiled mysteriously: "Xiu Mu has been following me for a few days, and you haven't noticed that there is a missing general in the army?"

"general?"

Zhu Huan frowned and scratched his face, wondering if the general would agree?Suddenly he thought of Zhao Fan and said, "General Long, are you talking about Zhao Bochang?"

"Of course."

Long Xiang nodded in affirmation: "Zhao Bochang is both civil and military, and performed well when following Taishi Ziyi. I left a camp for him before I left, and he went to Wuxi to garrison and defend Wu County."

"A battalion? Is it too few?"

Zhu Huan expressed doubts about Long Xiang's arrangement, saying that he sent [-] troops to guard the south, but he only gave Zhao Fan a thousand troops to guard the north. You either look down on Lu Fan, or you look down on my troops.

Long Xiang explained with a smile: "Xiumu didn't know something. My battalion was not an ordinary battalion, but the most elite Tiger Guard battalion in Hefei. I relied on them to defeat Zhang Liao and capture Shouchun. Although 1000 men is not that many, But how much reinforcement can Lu Fan bring back? If he only sends more than [-] troops to the south, he may not be able to capture Wuxi. If he bypasses Wuxi and goes straight to Wu County, Xu and Zhao will be able to attack from both front and back."

"Having said that, a thousand is worth a thousand."

Before Zhu Huan finished speaking, Long Xiang interrupted: "What does it mean if one thousand can defeat ten thousand? Zhang Liao used eight hundred to defeat one hundred thousand. You don't really think it's all Zhang Liao's credit, do you?"

"Well, that's true."

Zhu Huan could no longer refute, because he also conquered Hefei last year and lost [-] Bubu.

The scene at that time can only be described as chaos, and the battle between the soldiers and generals was completely out of control. It was the most humiliating battle Zhu Huan had ever fought.

After marching for ten days, Long Xiang and his team arrived in Liyang.

Han Dang happened to be attacking the city that day, and Zhu Huan saw flying rocks falling like rain on the city. Their power and accuracy were staggering, and it was difficult for the siege soldiers to resist even with their shields.

Zhu Huan finally knew what the Tiger Guard Camp was. Not only were they all highly skilled in martial arts, they had also developed the ability to fly rocks to defend the city. This way, their lethality was not weak at all, and they could also save arrow consumption in the city.

No wonder Long Xiang is so confident about Zhao Fan, as one of the Tiger Guards can be equal to ten.

Reinforcements came from the east of Liyang. Han Dang did not know whether they were his own men or Long Xiang's Hefei soldiers, so he did not immediately order a retreat.

When Longxiang's troops were less than a mile away, the scouts on the perimeter issued a warning.

If you retreat hastily at this time, you will not be able to take away the siege equipment that you have worked so hard to make.

Thinking of the time and effort required in winter, Han Dang was reluctant to abandon the equipment just like this. Sun Quan's reinforcements would arrive in a day or two, so he was unwilling to leave it to Long Xiang in vain.

After Han Dang personally mobilized the troops and horses to break off, Lu Su saw this and asked Xu Chu to go out of the city to join the attack.

After a fight, Han Dang couldn't resist and abandoned his baggage and fled. In the end, he was chased for more than ten miles and beheaded two thousand levels.

If Long Xiang's reinforcements had not come from far away, Han Dang's entire army might have been wiped out. This would have been Han Dang's heaviest loss in the battle against Liyang.

When the battle was over, Long Xiang entered the city to meet Lu Su.

"I once heard General Han say that his father only had five thousand soldiers, and one thousand of them were still in Niuzhu. Why were so many soldiers besieging the city just now?"

As soon as everyone sat down after entering the city, Long Xiang's first words asked Han Zong to stand up.

As the saying goes, words are like pins and needles and you can't sit still.
