Seven hundred and thirty-six Wu Jing died in action
Wuxian was eventually captured.
There were about 2,000 Wu soldiers stationed and resisted in Wuxian County. They had excellent combat effectiveness and almost all of them died in battle. Not many of them escaped or were captured alive.
The number of Wu soldiers who were captured alive has not been captured.
The rear of Wu State was completely destroyed by Taishici, but the Wu army, who was fighting on the front line, did not know that its rear was lost.
Zhang Liao then rushed to Wuxian and was very happy to see Taishici's victory, but Taishici apologized.
It turned out that Zhu Zhi, the governor of Wu County, escaped, and Mrs. Wu, who Zhang Liao tried to use as a bargaining chip, also committed suicide, which failed to become a tool for the Wei army to threaten Sun Quan and Zhou Yu.
After Zhang Liao heard that Mrs. Wu committed suicide by slashing her sword, she was silent for a while and shook her head.
"Forget it, our army swept the world. When did we need to use these ignorant women and children to threaten it? Our army has always relied on righteousness and steel knives to defeat the world. In this way, our army will be invincible. Capturing people's family is just a small path."
Zhang Liao did not blame Taishi Ci for this matter, and then began to prepare for the next military operation with Taishi Ci.
Zhang Liao asked Taishi Ci to lead his army north to Dantu. He first led his army to join him, conquered Wuxi, Piling and Qua counties, and then divided his troops to Moling to seize the command center of Sun Quan and Zhou Yu.
As long as their advancement is fast enough, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu will not be able to react. At that time, attacking Yu Jin and Xu Huang who are facing the enemy head-on will inevitably be unable to hold on, and then Sun Quan and Zhou Yu will be finished.
On the ninth day of the seventh month of the second year of Jian'an, Zhang Liao and Taishi Ci conquered Wuxi County, killed more than 200 defenders, and killed Wuxi County Magistrate.
Then he attacked north without stopping, and led Piling County and Qua County to kill more than 300 defenders. The magistrate of Piling County insisted on not surrendering, cursing Guo Peng and Wei army, angering Taishi Ci, who swung his sword and killed him.
The magistrate of Qu'a County was not a tough guy. He chose to surrender, and then transformed himself into a Wei official, and joined the Wei army with his subordinates, and began to transport food and grass to the Wei army with the magistrate of Lou County.
On July 17, Taishici led his army to Dantu County and raided Dantu County.
Dantu County was not prepared in time. When the front line was still in a big battle, their attention was on the front line. No one could guess that a Wei army would suddenly come out from behind, so the county town quickly fell, the county magistrate was killed, and the resistance was ended.
So when Wu Jing was personally commanding the navy to fight Zang Ba on the front line, Taishi Ci led his army out from behind Wu Jing, sneaked into Dantu County, occupied Dantu County, cut off Wu Jing's main force's retreat, and then attacked the front line camp of the Wu army.
The sudden attack caused chaos in the Wu army on the shore, and soon became defeated and defeated.
Seeing that the shore was raided and the nest was stolen, the Wu army's navy was not willing to fight. The navy, which had originally had the advantage, collapsed directly. Zang Ba's army directly broke through the Yangtze River defense line, landed in large quantities in Jiangdong, and met with Taishici successfully.
Wu Jing was caught off guard, and his personal soldiers were surrounded by Taishi Ci's army and attacked fiercely.
After a fierce battle, all Wu Jing's personal soldiers were killed. Wu Jing himself was extremely sad and angry. He fought with a knife and did not surrender even after all his personal soldiers died. While scolding Guo Peng and Taishi Ci, he fought with a knife. Finally, Taishi Ci knocked off his helmet and beheaded with a knife.
So the winner and defeat of the Dantu battlefield was decided.
Zang Ba quickly crossed the river from the north bank of the river and came to Jiangdong. He was very excited to see the army of Taishici.
"It's done?"
"It's done."
Taishici nodded: "Wu County has been taken down, and the relatives of Sun's family and senior officials of Wu are all under the control of our army. However, Sun Quan's mother committed suicide."
"Suicide?"
Zang Ba was a little surprised, but then shook his head: "In order not to be humiliated and not to make his son embarrassed, it is so tough. However, since the Danzhe has been taken down, it is only a matter of time before the other two battlefields have been taken down, and our army has already won."
"Yes, so General Zhang ordered that you and my army combine into one and start sweeping the counties of Wu County without any mistakes."
"I see."
Zang Ba nodded and took the order. So he joined forces with Taishi Ci to attack the remaining county towns in Wu County and sweep the Wu County.
The Wu army, whose main force has been destroyed, cannot continue to protect the Wujun base camp.
At the same time, Zhang Liao led the main force to drive directly to Moling County, and successively captured two counties, Jurong County and Hushu County along the way, seized all the grain that Zhou Yu had hoarded in the two counties, and abolished 70% to 80% of the Wu army's logistics.
Then Zhang Liao also confirmed that at least on July 18th when he conquered Hushu County, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, who were in Moling, still did not know that such a terrifying thing had happened behind him.
Perhaps even if you know it, you haven't had time to react, otherwise you wouldn't be able to act so slowly.
At least, more troops should be sent to protect the county towns that hoard food and grass, otherwise the 40,000 main forces of the Wu army would be declared to be over once the Wei army arrived.
Zhang Liao's speculation is correct.
Although Zhu Zhi, who escaped, got rid of the Wei army's pursuers, was lost because he was chased into the deep mountains far away from the county and all the horses were abandoned, and thus was trapped in the mountainous area.
After walking for several days, they couldn't get out of the mountainous area. When they were tired, hungry and thirsty, they accidentally ate poisonous wild vegetables and wild fruits. As a result, they all died of poisoning and died in unknown mountains.
Zhu Zhi will never be with Sun Quan and Zhou Yu.
No one knew about this at that time.
Zhang Liao's march was too fast, and he used the advantage of war horses to march at high speed. It was almost time for Sun Quan and Zhou Yu to know that this happened half a day, Zhang Liao conquered Hushu County and seized all the supplies and food, which made Zhou Yu just issued an order and when the reinforcements set off, Hushu County was gone.
Zhang Liao raced against time and led the Wei army to forcibly march, extinguishing the last possibility of the Wu army's counterattack at the fastest speed.
When General Ling Cao led the vanguard of the Wu army's rescue troops to come quickly, Zhang Liao had already rectified the army and quickly repelled the panicked Wu army's rescue troops and defeated Ling Cao.
Then Zhang Liao seized the time to let the army rest and recover his strength. Then he set fire to Hushu County, using the entire county town as fuel for wolf smoke to convey messages to the Wei army on the other side of the river.
Tell them that the time for the general attack has come!
All of this was far beyond the expectations of Sun Quan and Zhou Yu.
To be precise, they never thought that such a thing would happen.
Suddenly, a Wei army appeared behind them and in their rear. This was no different from the divine weapon coming from the sky, right?
Isn’t this the divine weapon coming from the sky?
How can I fight this?
Isn’t the enemy in Jiangbei directly opposite? Isn’t it a fierce water battle with us?
Why did it suddenly look like this?
There is no way, who made people in this era have no concept of maritime power and maritime defense?
Everyone's eyes are on land, because only food can be grown on land, only food can be filled, and there is value for competition. As for the sea...
What the hell.
No one will take sea power seriously, and no one will feel that the sea contains inexhaustible treasures.
Except for Guo Penghui's arrangements for Qingzhou fishermen to develop marine fisheries to supplement the ingredients of inland people and to create some seafood to enrich everyone's dining tables, no one takes the sea seriously.
Without this understanding, there will naturally be no idea that enemies come from the sea. The idea of the sea is a natural barrier.
But who knows that the enemy comes from the sea?
