Chapter 1187 mutual calculation(1/2)
In the early morning of early summer, the sun rises to the top of the mountain earlier and earlier.
The thin mist quickly disappeared under the sunlight.
Wen Qin also got up earlier than before, and it can even be said that he did not dare to sleep too hard.
Before dawn, he hurriedly caught up to the city.
Yesterday, the Wu army attacked the city so violently, which was too unexpected to him, and he could not help but be careful.
Watching the first ray of sunlight penetrated through the mist and shone onto the Wu Jun camp outside the city.
Wen Qin's heart became heavier and heavier.
Reinforcements rushed from Hefei were blocked to the east.
The Wu army in the south should have at least 60,000 to 70,000, according to the size of the camp.
Compared with the defenders in the city that are only nearly ten thousand, they can indeed be called a large enemy and a small number of us.
But there is nothing we can do about this.
After all, in the Yangzhou area, Hefei should be the first to garrison the important areas, and Shouchun should be the second.
After all, Lu'an's location is a little bit off, and its strategic position is far inferior to Hefei.
Not to mention Shouchun, the core of Yangzhou.
If Lu'an was not on the front line and had the county seat, I'm afraid there would be no one in this ten thousand people.
But Wen Qin also knew that there was nothing we could do about this.
Wang Ling, the governor of Yangzhou, had a conflict with him.
Apart from the necessary defenders, the other party cannot let himself lead too many troops.
The most important thing is that in the early years, the Great Wei lost too much troops in the west.
The late emperor had to draw troops from all over the country to fill the gap in the west.
Who would have thought that Sima Yi's thief had huge wolf ambitions?
Yangzhou faced Wu Kou, and it seemed that he was not greatly affected by the battle in Guanzhong.
In fact, the reserve forces in Qingxu and even Yanzhou have been drained.
The vitality that had finally recovered after the war in Yangzhou Jingshiting was consumed again.
In addition, in recent years, the Great Wei Dynasty has been divided into two parts, and Xuchang has maintained a huge force in Yangzhou and Jingzhou.
While using the final assets, we had to increase taxes.
There is also the drought last year, which made the Great Wei even worse.
Even Runan, which is the best in military farming, heard that there was a riot among military farming tourists last year.
You can imagine what the decay situation is in various parts of Kanto.
Even the Great Wei almost couldn't hold on, so why did Wu Kou have the spare energy to invade the north?
Wen Qin was thinking a lot and worried, but he saw that the Wu army under the city had already begun to move.
He quickly shook his mind, took back his mind, and looked at it in a hurry.
But when the Wu army did not attack the city again, they sent a battalion, which was heading eastward.
At this time, people were sent to the east, and there was no other way except to block the reinforcements coming from the east.
Wen Qin thought about this and was immediately excited.
It seems that although Wang Yanyun is not in harmony with him, he still knows that the overall situation is the most important thing, and there should be a lot of reinforcements sent here.
Otherwise, Wu Kou would not have sent troops to the east at this moment of siege.
But what confused him was that Wu Kou was in the south, but there was not much movement.
"Strange, the thief tried so hard yesterday, but he didn't attack the city today?"
The generals next to him expressed the voice of the Wei army who was waiting for him.
Wen Qin did not make a sound, but just looked at the direction of Wu Jun.
But he didn't have a telescope, so he naturally couldn't see much.
The only thing that can be obtained seems to be that more soldiers sent by Wu Kou to cut down the wood have become.
After a while, Wen Qin's eyes flashed, and suddenly laughed, and his big hand slapped the city wall:
"I already know the thief's plan! This time, Wu Kou was afraid that he had miscalculated, so he was unable to continue."
Hearing the general say this, the left and right couldn't help but look at each other.
"General, what do you mean?"
Someone asked carefully.
Wen Qin pointed at the city and said confidently:
"Sun Quan went to Hefei with great fanfare, but secretly sent so many soldiers here."
"I'm afraid I'm not trying to conquer Lu'an in one go, and then turn east and attack Hefei?"
"If not, how could it be surrounded by Lu'an City without leaving any gaps?"
The so-called "siege of the army" is to make the defenders in the city want to escape and not be willing to fight to the death.
Wu Kou surrounded Lu'an this time, but he couldn't say that he was just to prevent the city from sending messengers to Hefei to inform him about the situation.
"This also shows why they fought desperately to attack the city before they fully built the siege equipment yesterday."
Isn’t it just that I want to capture Lu'an City before reinforcements arrive?
If it weren't for the beginning that he had defeated Ximen Wu Kou and sent a message in time.
If Wang Yanyun had not led the army to Hefei from the beginning, he could have sent reinforcements nearby in time.
No way, Wu Kou can succeed halfway.
As for the other half, of course, Wu Kou underestimated the defense of Lu'an City.
"Wu Kou arrived in a hurry. In the battle yesterday, I'm afraid that all the siege tools that have been built in the past few days have been pushed out."
Wen Qin smiled more and more happily:
"Who expected that all the siege tools would be destroyed, so they naturally could not produce more siege tools today."
How to attack the city without siege equipment?
Could it be that those light ladder ants are attached to the city?
If it were the Han army, it might be that way.
But Wu Kou...
It’s not that Wen Qin looked down on Wu Jun.
But for so many years, Wen Qin had long understood what kind of morality the soldiers of Wu Kou who invaded northern China every year.
It is rare to see people robbing wealth and rushing to break the city.
There were not many siege equipment, and the reinforcements from Hefei arrived early, and Wu Kou became afraid and shrank, which was reasonable.
Hearing the general's analysis, he suddenly realized it and said:
"General's opinion!"
Although some people are worried and always feel that something is wrong, they dare not say something to dampen morale at this time.
In fact, Wen Qin also knew that what he said was just his own guess and could not be considered a fact at all.
But he said so surely, naturally to soothe people's hearts.
"But the thieves want to build siege equipment with peace of mind, but I can't fulfill their wish!"
Wen Qin shouted:
"I'm going to lead the troops out of the city in person to pick up reinforcements from Hefei!"
It seems impossible to go out from the South Gate to attack the thieves.
The leading thief general seemed to be somewhat capable, and the camp was arranged quite neatly.
However, while the thieves did not attack the city, they could go out from the east, attack the thieves from the front and back, and join the reinforcements as soon as possible.
When he heard the general's words, he remembered that the general had defeated the thief at the East Gate, and everyone immediately agreed.
The east gate of Lu'an City slowly opened again.
Wen Qin led the only elite cavalry in the city and rushed out of the city, shouting loudly as before:
"Thief, if Wen Zhongruo is here, who dares to fight me!"
The Wu army at the East Gate had been broken by Wen Qin once, and when he saw this man leading the army out of the city again, the Wu army soldiers who had seen Wen Qin's bravery couldn't help but feel brave.
However, thanks to the lesson of the last Wu general from the East Gate being beheaded, this time the Wu army erected the fence early.
