Chapter 1235
After hearing Lu Xun's order, Zhang He, Zhu Zhi, Zhu Ran and other generals all frowned.

The relatively young Zhu Ran was the first to question: "Captain, the Han army has 5 horses, and they are all brave and good at fighting in the east and west. Now we have an army of [-] to attack, and we can't win if we gather together. How can we defeat the enemy?"

Lu Xun waved his hand and said: "I already know the plan to defeat the enemy. You are all people who know how to fight. Although there are only ten thousand troops stationed in the city, even if the Han army has fifty thousand, if you don't leave the city There is nothing wrong with fighting and defending the city. Just wait patiently, after two months, the [-] Han troops of Custody and Education will be wiped out!"

Zhu Ran cupped his hands and said, "Please tell the governor what the plan is, so that we can rest assured!"

Lu Xun still refused to say the strategy: "The strategy will not work if it is said. When the time is up, I will naturally tell you, and divide the troops to defend the city."

Seeing Lu Xun's swearing, it didn't look like he was talking nonsense, although Zhang He and the other generals didn't believe it, they had no choice but to follow the plan.

At present, the [-] troops are divided into three troops, each commanded by Lu Xun, Zhang He, and Zhu Zhi, to guard the three cities of Panyang, Xiaoyang, and Yuhan.

The Han army was stationed in Haihun, and these three cities vaguely surrounded Haihun City in terms of terrain. If the Han army wanted to advance to Danyang, it had to take these three cities.If you want to bypass these three cities, the grain road in the rear will be in danger.

Jiangdong sent reinforcements over, and Zhang Liao's side would naturally not be indifferent.

On Jianye Sun Ce's side, there are not many soldiers and horses, and the [-] army will be used to guard against Qi Jiguang in Jiangbei.Right now, the [-] reinforcements are almost all the troops that Sun Ce can dispatch. If these [-] reinforcements can be wiped out, then Zhang Liao's army will be able to drive straight into Danyang with the momentum of a great victory, and destroy the Sun Clan in one fell swoop. regime.

Knowing that reinforcements from Jiangdong had arrived, Zhang Liao summoned his army to discuss how to defeat the enemy.

The generals of the Han army gathered together.

Zhang Liao asked the scouts: "What's the move of the Jiangdong Army's reinforcements now? Where are they going to set up camp?"

The scout cupped his hands and said: "General Qi, there are [-] reinforcements in Jiangdong, but they did not set up camp, but stationed in the city. The [-] soldiers and horses were divided into three groups, each with [-] troops, respectively in Xiaoyang, Poyang, and Yuyang. Khan is stationed in three cities."

"Divide troops to defend the city?" Zhang Liao was taken aback when he heard the words, and went to the map to search for the locations of the three cities that the scouts had mentioned.

After looking at it for a while, Zhang Liao murmured, "These three cities are located in the east of Haihun, and faintly surround Haihun City. If our army wants to advance eastward and enter Danyang, these three cities must be taken. Dividing troops to defend the city is not a bad idea. A defensive strategy, but each city has only [-] soldiers... Who is the enemy commander, so confident?"

"It's Jiangdong Luxun!" The scout replied.

"Lu Xun?" Zhang Liao's eyes were full of doubts, and he had never heard his name.

In the past, Lu Xun had been advising Sun Ce and never led the army alone, so the Han army did not know how powerful he was.

Xie Xuan pondered and said: "This Lu Xun is from Jiangdong's Lu family. Jiangdong fierce general Lu Wenlong is Lu Xun's brother. This Lu Xun is a scholar, quite talented and famous, but I have never heard that he has the talent to lead an army!"

His Highness laughed at the words: "This scholar is too arrogant. If [-] troops are stationed in a city, they can still block our army, but a city with only [-] soldiers and horses is not afraid of our army breaking through?" ? It’s really a scholar who doesn’t understand the art of war.”

"That's right, Sun Ce sent a scholar to stop our army. It really is a chance for our army to make meritorious deeds!"

"General, I am willing to lead the attack on the city for the vanguard, and dedicate the head of the scholar Lu Xun to the general."

Hearing that Lu Xun was just a scholar, all the generals talked about it and laughed at Sun Ce for not being able to employ people.

Seeing that the generals underestimated the enemy, Zhang Liao's face darkened, and he shouted: "Don't underestimate the enemy, what's wrong with the scholar, I, the governor of Yongzhou and the governor of Qingzhou, are both scholars, so they are famous all over the world. Although Lu Xun is a scholar, he is not famous Obviously, but if you underestimate the enemy like this, I'm afraid you will suffer a big loss."

"I know I was wrong!" Seeing Zhang Liao yelling at him, all the generals quickly confessed.

Zhang Liao looked at Xie Xuan and said, "What do you think?"

Xie Xuan pondered and said: "We only rely on conjectures, we don't know what Lu Xun is really like. Only when he fights with real swords and guns in the past can we know his true abilities!"

Zhang Liao nodded in agreement, and ordered to the generals: "I have exactly this intention. I have ordered all the troops to go out to attack Lu Xun tomorrow, and let the brothers rest well tonight!"

Early the next morning, Zhang Liao led [-] troops into Poyang, leaving [-] troops to guard Haihun.

Lu Xun was in charge of guarding Poyang City, and Zhang Liao led his troops to attack. As the commander, Lu Xun naturally set his target on Poyang City.

Forty thousand Han soldiers approached the city, arrayed like a city wall, with spears like a forest, and they were menacing.

Lu Xun led the soldiers to the top of the city. He was dressed in white armor, showing a bit of heroism in his elegance.

All the generals around were terrified when they saw the Han army approaching the city.

Only Lu Xun stood with his sword in hand, with a calm demeanor.

Zhang Liao rode out, looked at Lu Xun on the city and shouted: "Lu Xun, you are just a scholar, how can you be my opponent, why don't you open the city and surrender, so as not to hurt the people in the city!"

Lu Xun didn't care about Zhang Liao's threat, pointed at his neck and said with a smile: "My Lu Xun's big head is here, Zhang Wenyuan, if you have the ability, just come and get it!"

"Fire me an arrow and shoot Zhang Liao back!"

Without waiting for Zhang Liao to continue speaking, Lu Xun ordered someone to shoot an arrow and shoot Zhang Liao back.

"Damn it!" Zhang Liao was shot back into the formation, his face slightly gloomy.

Xie Xuan sighed and said: "This person can't get in, so he can only attack by force!"

"Let's attack the city!" Zhang Liao had already carried the siege equipment with the army when he set off. Without giving the Jiangdong Army a chance to breathe, Zhang Liao directly issued the order to attack the city.

"Siege!"

The Han army sounded the siege horn.

The [-] army was divided into two teams and began to attack the city in turn.

However, Lu Xun in Poyang City had already made preparations, and the defense equipment was sufficient. When the Han army launched an attack, the Jiangdong Army defended in an orderly manner.

The siege went on for less than half an hour, and Zhang Liao, who was in charge of the rear army, saw the situation clearly.

Zhang Liao said to Xie Xuan: "Although this Lu Xun is a scholar, his ability should not be underestimated. Our army has been suppressed by him in the middle of the city wall, and we can't get any closer. It seems that this Poyang can't be attacked by force."

Xie Xuan sighed and said: "Let the soldiers come down, such a strong attack will only kill you in vain! Today our army is in Jiangdong, and we need to preserve our strength. If Xiaoyang and Yuhan's defenders come to attack, our army may be in a difficult situation. .”

Zhang Liao nodded, agreed with Xie Xuan's opinion, and ordered: "Retreat!"
