Under the leadership of Sun Jian, a fierce tiger in the east of the Yangtze River, and Huanwen, the Department of Tongque, attacked Song Jiang together. The two sides launched a water war in Poyang Lake.
The surface of Poyang Lake was ablaze with smoke, and hundreds of small warships were burned.
Song Jiang''s Zouke and fishing boats were defeated quickly when they faced the regular Navy composed of building boats, fighting ships and Pang.
Sun Jian did not give Song Jiang and his generals any chance to fight one by one. He used a big ship to sink Song Jiang''s fishing boat, and the fire arrows filled the sky and poured down.
The fishing boat was filled with fire arrows and black smoke billowed.
Song Jiang fled back to the water village under the protection of Mangfu Li Kui.
Song Jiang''s Ministry was disheartened and defeated in the face of Jiangdong tigers'' attack. He returned to the water stronghold and gathered thousands of water bandits and villagers to defend the village.
People in the water village are in fear.
In the Poyang Lake area, they are not small forces, but compared with the real princes, regardless of the pattern and quality of the Corps, Songjiang''s water bandit troops are inferior.
Hundreds of warships surrounded the water stronghold, and the building boats blocked the exit of the water stronghold.
Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and Liu Ganzhi (General of Tongque Beifu military headquarters) led their troops to attack from land, blocking all roads.
Song Jiang wants to break through the encirclement, but the other side''s bow and crossbow suppresses, and retreats back.
"Big brother, Jiangdong tiger Sun Jian sent someone to settle down!"
At present, Zhang Shun, the commander of Songjiang''s navy, has brought a dozen of small minions down from a village and a general.
The man sent by Sun Jian had a long knife in his hand, and he was somewhat contemptuous of Song Jiang and others.
In Han Dang''s eyes, Song Jiang and his gang are just water bandits.
Li Kui, Liu Tang, Dong Ping and others followed Song Jiang. Seeing Han Dang''s arrogant attitude, his face was not happy.
Han Dang said, "my Lord wants to surrender you to serve my Lord. In the future, you are not allowed to plunder the people of Poyang Lake. My Lord will pay you."
Song Jiang''s face showed a different color, or in other words, he seemed quite moved by Sun Jian''s recruitment.
Li Kui was the first to stand up and oppose: "who is our elder brother? You want to recruit us? See if my ghost King axe agrees
Another strong man with a record of cinnabar on his temples also stood up: "we have so many heroes, we may not be able to beat the Jiangdong tiger!"
Han Dang looks at the Black Whirlwind and the red haired ghost, with a murderous look in his eyes, which makes Li Kui and Liu Tang timid.
Han Dang, however, followed Sun Jian at the beginning of the Yellow turban rebellion. He was one of the four generals in Jiangdong. He killed more enemies on the battlefield than Li Kui and Liu Tang.
In front of the murderous spirit of professional generals, Li Kui and Liu Tang will also feel afraid.
"Please go back and report to the governor, and give us a day to think about it."
Song Jiang struggled between recruitment and resistance.
"After a day, if you don''t surrender and break the water stronghold, all the resisters will be put to death!"
After Han Dang left, the gathering Hall of Shuizhai was silent.
Sun Jian not only brought the Changsha soldiers, but also the Beifu army sent by Tongque. Both armies were extremely capable of fighting. Most of the soldiers recruited by Song Jiang were Liangshan army and Xiang Yong, who did not have to pay for the army. Facing the real strong army, they had no resistance at all.
Sitting on the throne, Song Jiang asked Wu Yong, a military adviser who had taken refuge in him, "what do you think we should do?"
Wu Yong saw that Song Jiang meant to accept Sun Jian''s advice to surrender, but he wanted to go down one step: "the brothers gathered in this gathering hall from all directions, in order to make a living. In my opinion, Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, is brave and good at fighting. It''s better to turn to him for a while. If Sun Jian is not good to any of his brothers, we will oppose him. "
"That''s the truth. I, song Gongming, will not let any brothers suffer losses, nor will I let them die in this war. "
Song Jiang opened his mouth, and more than a dozen generals looked at each other. Finally, the minority obeyed the majority and chose to recruit.
"We can''t drink and eat meat and kill people wantonly if we want to join Sun Jian. We can''t be happy when we are officers and soldiers."
Li Kui is still dissatisfied.
However, Song Jiang didn''t have the idea of being the leader of the water bandits for a long time, or the idea of self-reliance. Facing the fierce tigers in the east of the Yangtze River, accepting the recruitment is undoubtedly a way out for Song Jiang.
The next day, Song Jiang led his military division Wu Yong and a dozen green forest heroes to surrender to Sun Jian.
On Sun Jian''s ship, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, zumao, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, as well as Sun Jian and sun CE, as well as Huanwen and Liu Ganzhi, the generals of Tongque, had an invisible atmosphere of killing and cutting, so that Song Jiang was a little nervous.
If Sun Jian is in trouble at this time, then Song Jiang and his party will all fall on their heads.
If this is to govern the world, Sun Jian is a prefect. He will kill Song Jiang and his party directly and ask the imperial court for help.
However, it is now a troubled time. Even a group of mountain bandits and wild men are of special use. Sun Jian believed that Song Jiang and his party had the value of making use of.
Sun Jian''s eyes swept over Song Jiang and his party.
At present, Song Jiang has only a dozen generals, including a female general with double swords on her waist, a general with two guns and a general with a bow on his back.Sun Jian had no interest in female generals. He paid more attention to generals with guns and bows. He asked Song Jiang, "who are these two generals?"
"Double gun general Dong Ping!"
"Xiao Li guanghuarong!"
Two people gave their names.
Sun Jian appreciated the force of the two men, so he allocated them to his ministry. As for others, they are still controlled by Song Jiang.
This is also one of the means used by Sun Jian to divide Song Jiang''s forces.
If they want to be the most powerful general under Song Jiang, they will be divided into two groups with mutual suspicion.
Sure enough, Song Jiang''s other generals were dissatisfied with Dong Ping and Hua Rong.
Wu Yong and Song Jiang seem to be aware of Sun Jian''s intention, but since they have accepted the recruitment, they can not resist the Lord''s transfer.
"You, commander in chief, will follow me to attack Hefei."
"Song Jiang got the order."
After Song Jiang surrendered, Zhang Shun was the commander of the Navy, commanding thousands of soldiers and horses and following Sun Jian.
Sun Jian did not expect the fighting ability of the Liangshan army, but valued the force of its general, and thought it could be used.
In order to make contributions to Sun Jian and gain Sun Jian''s trust, Song Jiang volunteered to send his scouts to Hefei to seek information.
……
Hefei City, the city''s guard general changed from Zang Ba to Zhang Liao, and the military division was Lu Su, which belonged to Huainan Defense Corps.
Huainan Defense Corps is actually divided into three units: Hefei, Shouchun and Guangling, with a total strength of 100000. The garrison generals are Zhang Liao, Liu Fu and Chen Deng, all of whom were native people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
A woman came to Hefei city.
XueYue is currently responsible for collecting intelligence through strangers. She has already learned about the intelligence from Jiangdong, so she specially comes to Hefei to inform general Zhang Liao to guard against enemy forces from Jiangdong.
"Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, is preparing troops and horses in Chaisang. He is going down the river to take Hefei. The general has to guard against it. If Hefei is lost, then Shouchun will be in danger, and Huainan will be in danger. "
"Thank you for your information. As long as Zhang Wenyuan is in Hefei for one day, they will not be able to cross Hefei. "
For the first time, Zhang Liao was on his own, which was the test of Chu Tian and also out of his trust in Zhang Liao, which made Zhang Liao lead the army alone.
Hefei, as the front line, is facing the threat from Jiangdong. In fact, the pressure is very great.
Ordinary guard general, Chu Tian is not at ease, but if it is Zhang Liao, then Chu Tian is quite at ease.
In Hefei, Zhang Liao is the master.
XueYue also knows Zhang Liao''s reputation, and reminds Zhang Liao of one thing: "please rest assured that the Lord''s guild will mobilize two or three generals from Hebei people to Shouchun. They will come to the front immediately if the situation is not good. "
"If there are other reinforcements, we will be more confident in defending Hefei."
Lu Su, who served as a military adviser in Hefei, heard that Chu Tian would send two or three generals from the generals who attacked Hebei, and he had a plan in mind.
Lu Su followed Chu Tian for two or three years and experienced the national war with hundreds of thousands of people. At this time, he was ordered to defend Hefei, which was nothing.
As the governor of Dongwu in history, Lu Su had to deal with Sun Jian and sun CE
After knowing the news of Jiangdong in advance, Zhang Liao, Lu Su, Zang Ba and sun Guan urgently strengthened the city defense of Hefei and trained their troops.
After the battle of Yuzhou, he followed Zhang Liao to arrive in Shouchun with a transmission array, and then moved to Hefei.
The other 30000 soldiers were soldiers of prefectures, ranging from level one to level three. They could be used to defend the city, but they lacked some combat power when they went out of the city for field operations.
Therefore, Lu Su thinks that we should give priority to defense.
In addition to strengthening the city defense and training troops and horses, Lu Su moved to Hefei city to prevent the population from being taken away by Jiangdong army.
Population is also an important resource.
Sun Guan limped along the wall, and all the soldiers respected him.
Although the bandits Zang Ba and sun Guan from Mount Tai were bandits, their status in Chutian power was not low, because they made great contributions to the expansion of Chutian forces, and they were seriously injured, leaving hidden dangers.
They are also the elders of Chutian forces. At present, they are already the benefactors.
Zang Ba, who had only one eye, looked in the direction of ruxushui, and was still loyal to guard the gate for Chu Tian: "if the Jiangdong army comes to attack, nine out of ten they will come from the water, and use ships to transport infantry, siege equipment, food and grass."
"Big brother, our main force is in Hebei Province. Only a few military generals will guard Hefei. In addition to Liu Fu and Chen Deng, Huainan has no general to adjust. This time, it may be a bitter battle."
Sun Guan came, full of worry.
It''s not that sun Guan is timid. He is just stating the basic fact that Hefei''s troops are not enough for defense.
"Our brother didn''t know how many fierce battles we had to get to where we are now. This time, we have to risk our lives."
Zang BA''s eyes became more and more serious.Before Chutian forces marched into Hebei, they knew that the princes in Jiangdong would not be indifferent.
There is no better opportunity for Jiangdong to defeat the Central Plains.
Huainan is a permanent pain for the Jiangdong forces.
The population outside Hefei was moved into the city by Lu su. Among them, a farmer looked around from time to time.
His ability worked so well that the city guards ignored him and regarded him as an ordinary farmer.
"The city is heavily guarded, and tens of thousands of people have moved to the city to defend. I''m afraid we have already known that we are going to attack Hefei. It''s very important for them to make a counter-offer. If it''s not my ability, most of my spy''s identity will be revealed. "
Shi Qian, a scout sent by Song Jiang, has a special ability to explore the actual situation of the garrison in the city.
When he saw that Hefei was under martial law, Zang Ba and sun Guan personally led the soldiers on patrol. Sometimes Zhang Liao, the commander in chief, would take a group of first-rate soldiers to patrol. He was shocked.
Chutian forces must have deployed scouts in Lujiang and Chaisang areas, so when Lujiang and Chaisang gathered forces, Hefei immediately strengthened its urban defense.
The city wall of Hefei has been built to 10 meters high, like a fortress.
Knowing that wooden arrow towers were easily ignited and destroyed by the fire arrows of the other side, Chu Tian built a large number of stone arrow towers, horse faces, stone tower buildings, and built more solid stone fortifications. At the same time, a large number of consumables such as stone, rolling wood, night fork, kerosene, arrows and other consumables were accumulated in the city, with dozens of double bow bed crossbows and three bow bed crossbows.
"Spies in the city may mix with Jiangdong. If you encounter suspicious people, you should make more inquiries."
XueYue came to Hefei in person. In addition to informing Zhang Liao, Xue Yue also had another purpose, which was to prevent the spies of Jiangdong army from entering Hefei.
The Scout''s intelligence is very important for marching and fighting.
When the princes were fighting, their scouts were also fighting.
However, the XueYue guild is hidden behind the scenes, and the royal guards travel at night.
At present, XueYue is still the city Lord of a city, but in fact, she has relatively high real power. She is one of the high-level officials of Chutian power and claims to be the city Lord.
The foreign Scouts of the guild began to investigate the possible scouts from Jiangdong army in Hefei city.
Ruxushui and Sun Jian, a fierce tiger in the east of the Yangtze River, led his troops, the army of Liangshan who had been captured by the army, and a group of people who had belonged to Yuan Shu, Ji Ling and Lei Bo, and Mei Cheng, a powerful and powerful Lujiang army, attacked Hefei from the waterway.
As for Huanwen and Liu Ganzhi, they guarded Chaisang to guard against the enemy from Jingzhou.
Tongque didn''t fully believe in Yang Shilang of Jingzhou, because he had the ambition of annexing Jiangdong. What''s more, the Scouts of Tongque heard that Yang Shilang was hoarding troops and horses in Jiangling with unknown intention.
After sun Rong and sun Rong recovered, they were satisfied.
Sun Jian may not have imagined that Song Jiang soon chose to surrender after losing the water war.
Sun CE pointed to the city in front of him: "father, the front is Hefei city. We need to get off the boat and gather to attack Hefei."
Seeing the city of Hefei, Sun Jian couldn''t help feeling: "if you come out of the river to the north, if you get Hefei, you can ask Shen and CAI in the West and Xu and Shou in the north, and you will win over the Central Plains. If the Central Plains got Hefei, it would be a pity for the southern part of the Yangtze River. No wonder the righteous brother wanted to take advantage of Chu Zi''s plan to go north and fight for Hefei. Order all the troops to go ashore and camp. "
Under the command of Sun Jian, four regiments landed, including Jingnan army, Liangshan regiment, Yuanshu remnant and Lujiang Haoqiang, of which the main force was Sun Jian''s troops.
100000 people stationed outside the city of Hefei, relying on ships to transport grain and grass weapons, siege equipment, quite convenient.
"It''s time to face the army of Chu zimou again."
Song Jiang seems to think of a few years ago.
