Chapter 520: All out
When Ma Su defeated Quan Cong in Guiyang and wiped out all the Soochow forces in Jiaozhou in one fell swoop, on the front line of public security, the Han and Wu sides were fighting happily.
In fact, just a few days after Ma Di led his soldiers to raid Guiyang, Sun Quan had already received the news. But when Sun Quan learned that Ma Di had unexpectedly attacked Wei Wen, his first reaction was excitement.
So far, the two people he feared the most, Zhuge Liang and Ma Su, were no longer in the police station. Moreover, Ma Di even took away his own elite soldiers, leaving only Xiang Chong and others in the police station. Isn't this why someone came to deliver pillows when he was dozing off?
So, after some reflection, Sun Quan immediately made a decision.
Wei Wen can’t be saved! No more Guiyang! The whole army moved forward with all their might, and we must first recover the police!
So the next day, under the personal supervision of Sun Quan, the army of Soochow was dispatched. Under the cover of the navy, tens of thousands of Wu troops crossed the Xiangjiang River and launched a full-scale offensive with the Han army on the west bank.
Theoretically, Sun Quan's choice was not wrong, because at the moment there were few Han troops in public security and the great devil Ma Su was gone, it was a good time to attack by force. In fact, this was exactly the case. When Soochow just launched the general offensive, Xiang Chong was really caught off guard and had to withdraw all his troops and horses, shrinking the front line and preparing to defend the public security.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will not be difficult for Wu Jun to regain the lost ground.
but……
Sun Quan looked at the top of the police city from a distance while driving, his angry eyes focused on the fluttering "Liu" flag.
"If it weren't for this bastard, the police would have taken it back!"
Sun Quan was still a step too late to take action. The day after he stormed the public security, Liu Yin rushed from Jiangbei to Jingnan. Under the rapid deployment of General Zhengnan, Soochow's full-strength attack was finally resolved by the Han army.
But even so, Sun Quan didn't think it was very difficult at first. So after Quan Cong asked for help, he immediately approved it, preparing to conquer the public security and then go south to surround Ma Su.
As a result, Sun Quan completely underestimated the level of General Liu and overestimated the combat effectiveness of his own troops.
Liu Yin has followed Ma Su for so many years and is already a veteran in his own right. In terms of the level of city defense, he is even comparable to Hao Zhao, but Soochow's combat effectiveness is far inferior to the Shu army that attacked Chencang in history.
So, under Sun Quan's order, tens of thousands of Wu troops were beaten and bloody at the gate of Gong'an City. The two sides fought here for more than ten days. Wu Jun lost his troops and generals, but Gong'an City remained unmoved.
This is indeed a stun plus real damage to Sun Quan, and Silence breaks his defense again.
I can't defeat Zhuge Liang when he comes, and I can't defeat Ma Di when he comes. I admit all of this. But now that a general from Xishu has arrived, why can’t I defeat him?
You guys make me look like a loser!
"Come on with the whole army! Cross all the soldiers and horses across the Xiangjiang River. If the navy attacks from the north bank, it will even knock down the Gong'an City!" Sun Quan finally became ruthless and personally issued an order to the generals, and the 70,000-strong army was suppressed. Go up.
I don’t believe it. 70,000 to 80,000 people can’t even chew up people like you?
"Supreme! No!" This sentence shocked the generals, and Lu Dai immediately stood up to dissuade him.
"Now the only guarantee for our troops to gain a foothold across the Xiangjiang River is the camp and navy on the east bank! If we push all the troops to the west bank and the navy withdraws from the Xiangjiang River and attacks from the north bank, if something happens in the rear, we will all become prisoners. …”
"What can happen now? The Shu army is all alone in the police station, and Ma Su is being held back by Quan Cong in the south. Is it possible that the Shu army will still be unable to fly?" Sun Quan did not have any sense of crisis, but said calmly. .
However, when thinking about the north, Sun Quan's expression still became a little more gloomy. He was very dissatisfied with Lu Xun's inaction and just let Liu Yin run to the police. Wasn't this causing trouble for Gu?
"As for the north... inform Lu Xun! I am very dissatisfied with him! If another Shu army crosses the Yangtze River, he should be replaced as the governor!"

In the following two days, Soochow slowed down its siege on the police. However, Liu Yin and others did not feel relaxed for a moment, and still felt huge pressure.
Standing on the top of the city, Liu Yin Xiangchong and others watched helplessly as a large number of Soochow soldiers and horses crossed the Xiangjiang River. Tens of thousands of Wu troops began to land on the West Bank, and just watching it made people's scalp numb.
"It seems that Sun Quan has been driven into panic. We probably won't have an easy time in the future." Xiang Chong frowned as he watched this scene, as if huge military pressure was about to pour in the next second.
Their total strength is no more than 20,000, and most of them are second- and third-line troops. At present, the public security can only attack less than 10,000 people. Facing the all-out offensive of Soochow's 70,000 troops, it will probably be difficult.
However, compared to Xiang Chong's nervousness, Liu Yin looked very relaxed. Especially when he found out that Soochow was dispatched in full force this time and basically didn't leave many troops on the east coast, he couldn't help laughing.
"I finally understand why the general looks down on Sun Quan so much... Such a deployment has no meaning other than bringing warmth to us big men. No wonder we can't conquer the small Hefei!"
"Don't worry, General Xiang. I'm sure Soochow will be defeated within ten days!"
Seeing Liu Yin's confident face, Xiang Chong felt a little confused. He didn't know where Liu Yin's confidence came from.
In fact, it was not just Liu Yin. When Chang'an was awarding rewards, Xiang Chong found that the young generals in the Hussar General's Mansion were all confident. I don’t know if they have confidence in themselves or if they rely on something else.
In short, Xiang Chong feels that he has fallen behind the times and is about to...
But anyway, after two days of rest, Soochow completed the crossing and assembly of the army. Tens of thousands of Wu troops launched an offensive against the Public Security Bureau from two directions at the same time, and the main force of Soochow's navy also withdrew from the Xiangjiang River and went to the north bank of the Public Security Bureau to launch an attack on the city head.
Gong'an City itself is built at the mouth of Youjiang River, and its north is basically close to the Yangtze River. The Soochow navy relied on building ships to launch fire suppression in the city from a high position.
The Wu troops from other directions also used all their strength to lay out all the siege equipment. Ladders, chariots, arrow towers, and even many Lü Gong chariots and trench bridges were copied from the Han army.
With the support of so many instruments, the offensive of Soochow soldiers and horses was also extremely fierce. Tens of thousands of arrows were fired into the city from outside the city every day, and the Han army even had to carry shields when operating at the top of the city.
But even so, Sun Quan found that Wu Jun's attack was still frustrated.
Facing Soochow's multi-faceted offensive, the Han army was well prepared.
The first is the arrow tower. The Han army quickly launched two thunderbolt chariots in the city, and they were able to defeat the Wu army's arrow tower from a long distance on top of the city. As for the ladder, Liu Yin prepared extremely abundant kerosene and rockets for them.
As for rushing the car, Liu Yin directly removed a millstone from the city, tied it with a rope and threw it down. As long as it hits successfully, even the strongest car will be smashed to pieces!
