Although we didn't have enough time, we also arranged some horse-repellent antlers and the like at the entrance and exit.

Wen Qin led the fine cavalry to the outside of the fence, slowed down the horse's pace, and fired a wave of arrow feathers inside.

Then suddenly it turned and headed west.

The advantage of cavalry lies in mobility.

The main force of the Wu invaders was in the south, east of the city. The Wu invaders just wanted to block the east gate, and their numbers were not enough to attack the city.

Without enough numbers, it is impossible for them to defend everywhere.

…

Sure enough, during the days when the main force of the Wu invaders in the south was preparing to attack the city, reinforcements from Hefei arrived too quickly, and Wen Qin took the opportunity to join forces with the reinforcements from Hefei from the east.

Wu Jun was caught off guard, but in the end, Wei Jun broke the Wu invaders' siege on Lu'an City.

Once the east is lost, the Wu army's containment in the north will naturally lose its meaning.

All I can say is, live once and live everywhere.

The only thing that made Wen Qin dissatisfied was that Hefei's reinforcements were only more than 20,000.

"Why are there so few troops?"

Wen Qin questioned the general leading the team.

"General Wen, there are quite a few already." The leader of the army was Wang Guang, Wang Ling's son. He saw him saying to Wen Qin, "The army I lead, together with General Wen, is enough to resist the invading thieves.

.”

What I want is to defeat the enemy and capture the thieves, not to hold the city to stop the thieves.

Wen Qin would not openly express his thoughts, but continued to ask:

"I sent a messenger to report the news. I once said that the main force of the Wu bandits is in Lu'an and not Hefei. Is it possible that the King Commander doesn't want to defeat the bandits?"

Faced with Wen Qin's question, Wang Guang did not show any timidity. Instead, he smiled and said:

"It is precisely because you want to defeat the thief that you make such a decision!"

Wen Qin frowned: "What do you mean by this?"

"General Wen didn't know something. In order to defraud Lu'an, Sun Quan did not hesitate to put himself in danger and personally led his troops away from the shore and came to the city of Hefei."

Wang Guang explained, "Your Excellency, you are currently at a stalemate with Sun Quan. As soon as Shouchun's rear army arrives, Sun Quan will have his own wings, and I am afraid he will not be able to escape!"

The military strength of Yangzhou, Qingxu, Runan and other places was no less than 150,000 to 60,000 at most.

However, Shiting suffered heavy losses in the First World War, and due to excessive redeployment over the years, only about 100,000 were left.

Regardless of whether it is 150,000, 60,000 or 100,000, Yangzhou alone cannot support such a large number of troops.

Therefore, the troops on the eastern front to defend Wu State are not all concentrated in Yangzhou on weekdays, but some are distributed throughout Qingxu.

Once there is a war, they will be summoned to Shouchun, and then the troops will be mobilized according to the invasion of the Wu invaders.

But this time, Wang Ling was eager to make contributions and wanted to prove to Cao Shuang, who promoted him, that he was definitely more suitable to be the governor of Yangzhou than Man Chong.

So as soon as he heard that Sun Quan had appeared in Chaohu, he immediately took most of his troops south to Hefei before the army was assembled.

This slightly impatient approach seems to be a good idea based on the current situation.

After sending reinforcements to Lu'an, Wang Ling's troops in Hefei were not enough to defeat the imperial guards led by Sun Quan.

However, the rear army that had gathered from Qingxu had already received Wang Ling's order and began to make a detour, preparing to make a detour and ambush the Wu army's flank.

When the time comes, no matter how powerful the armor and weapons of Sun Quan's imperial guards are, they may not be able to stop the combined attack of the two Wei armies.

However, Wang Guang naturally would not elaborate on the specific arrangements with Wen Qin.

But when Wen Qin heard what Sun Quan had done, he suddenly lost his composure:

"What did you say? Sun Quan really dares to lead his troops ashore?"

It was not his fault for losing his composure, but with the main force of the Wu invaders approaching Lu'an City, Wen Qin was already convinced that the Wu army in Hefei was nothing more than a bluff.

Especially Sun Quan, last time he lingered on the boat for more than 20 days without daring to go ashore.

This time, I'm afraid I will have to pretend for a longer time.

Unexpectedly, he dared to lead the army ashore and even reached the city of Hefei.

The most important thing is that Wang Ling, who has seen through Sun Quan's lies, can't really capture Sun Quan and make immortal achievements, right?

Thinking of this, Wen Qin suddenly felt mixed emotions in his heart.

Speaking of which, the false and true information about Wu Kou was personally delivered to that old man Wang Ling!

However, Wu bandits gathered under Lu'an City, and Wen Qin had to first find a way to retreat from the enemy in front of him.

As for whether Wang Ling, who is far away in Hefei, will really make great achievements, it is beyond his control.

The following offensive and defensive situation in Lu'an City seemed to have been correctly predicted by Wen Qin.

The Wu army has not launched a major attack, but standing at the top of the city, you can already see that the nearest Wu army camp is gradually piling up wood.

Then two days later, the wood was piled outside the camp.

Wu Jun seems to be starting to assemble large siege equipment.

Wen Qin saw these changes in his eyes and was not afraid at all:

"Come on, thief!"

Although the number of troops is still smaller than that of Wu Kou, Wen Qin already has enough confidence to face Wu Kou's upcoming siege.

Just when Wang Ling was trying to make a trap to capture Sun Quan, Wen Qin was trying to find a way to repel the Wu army under Lu'an City.

Far behind, outside Shouchun City, a group of troops suddenly appeared.

Shouchun City is the seat of the state government of Yangzhou and one of the most important hubs in the Jianghuai area of ​​Wei State.

There are residents and garrisons in the city, as well as business travelers, and countless people come in and out of the city every day.

Every day before dawn, there are already many people waiting inside and outside the city gate, waiting for the city gate to open.

Rubbing his eyes and yawning, the gate guard twisted the rope and prepared for today's routine.

This is the rear area. Although there are rumors that thieves are coming to Hefei, no one cares.

After all, the Wu invaders from the south invaded almost every year, but they never crossed Hefei.

The officials and people of Shouchun have become accustomed to this for more than twenty years.

Not to mention that this time, Governor Wang personally led the army south early.

The gates of Shouchun City are still open as usual, which means that everything is business as usual.

The city gate creaked open, and people inside and outside the city gate waiting to enter and exit swarmed up.

"Slow down, slow down!"

The city gate official shouted loudly, "Come in this way, come out that way, come one by one!"

At this time every day, the city gate is the most chaotic and crowded.

The guards at the city gate noticed that there seemed to be a lot of people going in and out today, but they didn't pay too much attention.

After all, there are thieves ahead. Some business travelers want to leave as soon as possible, and some rich people from the countryside want to go to the city with their families to avoid the limelight for a few days. That is normal.

Wu Jun, who came from Lu'an day and night, took advantage of this point and took advantage of the fog that had not completely dissipated to rush towards the city gate...

Zhuge Ke's persistence in sending detailed expeditions to explore the road over the years finally paid off at this moment.

Wu Jun's surprise troops completely avoided Wei Jun's eyes and ears and took a path that Wei Jun did not expect.

The Wei soldiers at the top of the city still couldn't believe their eyes until this moment.

It wasn't until he rubbed it several times and found that he was not dazzled that he sounded the alarm sadly:

"Enemy attack!"
Chapter completed!
