Chapter 802 A surprise attack on the Kingdom of Shu! About to lose a large area of ??territory?
Even though his mood was a little complicated, Li Junxi could still remember his original identity... He still had to deal with Jing Jin, a slander. When he entered the palace, he was summoned by Xuan to perform opera because Li Cunxu wanted to take charge of the envoy from Shu Kingdom.
When the operas in Taiyuan Palace were busy again, musicians played musical music and actors performed singing and dancing... According to Jing Jin's instructions, Li Junxi naturally still acted as the protagonist and was widely circulated in the Tang Dynasty.
After changing into a costume, even if Li Junxi applied makeup on his face, he still had a bit of heroism on the stage of his later generations, and when he came onto the stage with Le Dian, he soon saw Li Cunxu who was looking forward to it;
When Li Cunxu saw Li Junxi appear on stage, he immediately showed joy. If he had not received an alien envoy to watch the show, he would have to pay attention to his sense of justice. I was afraid that he would not be able to stand his temper and would jump onto the stage and sing a paragraph...
However, after this time, Li Junxi not only learned that the envoy from Shu was Wang Zongze, the son of Shu emperor Jian, but also confirmed that the Later Tang Dynasty had reached an agreement to attack the Wei Dynasty from north to south.
The news of the Emperor of Wei purge of the court's ministers and his followers has also spread to Taiyuan, Hedong. Considering that the recent situation of the Wei Dynasty was relatively different from the previous one, it was inevitable that people would be turbulent... Li Cunxu's resolution to join the Shu Kingdom and send troops a while ago. Secret spies from Taiyuan passed the information as quickly as possible, until Bian Jing was once again subjected to confidential documents. Li Tianqu confirmed that Shu Emperor Jian was indeed unwilling to satisfy the status quo, and he would still have to start a war with the Wei Dynasty. Later Tang and Shu Kingdom had already begun to assemble troops and immediately sent troops.
The Zhaoyi army commanded by Li Jitao, who surrendered to the Wei Dynasty, and the Henghai army commanded by Gao Siji, were found to be approaching the south with great fanfare. The military commanders of the Wei Dynasty rushed to report military information quickly, and the Ya army in the capital and even several surrounding vassal states began to mobilize and drove north to meet the enemy.
However, because the Later Tang Dynasty once again led its troops to invade the south, this time, the Wei Dynasty seemed to focus mainly on the north. However, it was located in the upper reaches of Jingchu and belonging to the waters of Kuizhou, which was the gateway to the east of Bashu. There were also naval troops flowing down the Yangtze River and storming towards the Jingnan area located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River...
A large number of warships went down the river, with the two sides connected, and the flags blocked the sky. However, when the Xiazhou Riverside Village, which was west of Jiangling, a major town in the southern corner of the Wei Dynasty, discovered that the Shu Zhouzhi invaded a large-scale invasion, he immediately sent people to Jiangling to report the emergency. However, in the eyes of the Shu army, this naval army under the prefecture, was "caught off guard" and it was difficult for them to resist the journey of the boat army to flow eastward and continue to approach Jiangling City, which belongs to the key water and land rushing.
When the Zhou army entered the Jiangling waters, the Wei Dynasty finally sent a water fleet to attack and intercept it, and it seemed that it would be necessary to block the entire river surface as much as possible. On the front of the Shu Navy, a five-toothed ship more than a hundred feet high, the main general sitting on the highest level saw the Wei Dynasty naval ships on the opposite side like a wall, with several layers of layers in front and back. He was dressed in military uniform and sat upright on a sandalwood chair with a golden sword on his face. His face was full of energy. Seeing that look, he was very confident that he could break the defense line formed by the Wei Dynasty navy on the river surface.
Emperor Jian of Shu accepted more than 100 adopted sons, plus his biological offspring. Although there were many greedy, arrogant, mediocre and incompetent people. However, as the base of his sons was large, some of them were accustomed to fighting and fighting... And this time, the invasion of the Wei Dynasty, the Shu Kingdom also dispatched Wang Zongfan, Wang Zongkan, and Wang Zongbo, the three members, at least in the Shu army, could be said to be brave and good at fighting.
Now, Wang Zongfan, the adopted son of the Shu emperor who has been awarded the title of King Kui in Shu, led the navy invading the Wei Dynasty, followed Wang Jian into Shu in his early years, attacked Chen Jingxuan and seized Chengdu. He made many military achievements in the war to pacify the two rivers, and was also a veteran in the Shu army.
Now that the battle is about to happen, Wang Zongfan's mouth is slightly raised, showing a flamboyant smile, and he is also thinking:
Even though the Wei Dynasty had a large area and many soldiers, due to the threat of the Jin people, we had to concentrate our troops in the north. To the east of Jiangling, we heard that the Eyue Army's vassal state governor Ding Hui had also suffered from serious illness... Our Shu army suddenly sent troops, and the military prefectures in the south of the Wei Dynasty could not be defended. As long as we defeated the Zhou army under Jiangling and blocked the Jiang Road, our army could also go down the Yangtze River and attack various prefectures in Jingxiang on a large scale... The Wei Dynasty also had to assemble troops and fight with the Jin people. How could we resist our offensive if we were attacked from both sides?
What's more... After I commanded the Zhou army and defeated the Jiangling Navy of Wei Dynasty, I would land on the shore to lead the troops north... Wang Zongbo first climbed the county yards in Jingnan, and I would definitely be able to succeed in one fell swoop...
Wang Zongfan was thinking in his heart, and suddenly raised his hand and slashed hard towards him. The boat masters of Shu Kingdom beat drums and all kinds of warships formed a geese-shaped formation, and then faced the fierce Wei fleet opposite.
First, the rain of arrows and rains were intertwined. When the warships on both sides approached, the large ships of Shu army equipped with large masts, huge rocks were placed on top, and a team of sailors pulled the rope tied to the top and then fell heavily!
The kinetic energy brought about by the heavy object falling from a high place was enough to smash the small warships. It seemed that because the Wei Navy's hastily responded to the battle, the forefront of the formation was set up by small and medium-sized warships against the Shu army's five-toothed ships. Twenty or thirty ships were smashed into two pieces, and the river water was quickly poured in. The sailors who were lucky enough to jump into the river from the ship and scattered desperately!
The war continued for a while, and the Jiangling naval army of the Wei Dynasty was in chaos, and the ships on the river were intersecting each other in a row. Wang Zongfan, who was supervising the battle on the Shu army's large ship, was overjoyed when he saw this and waved his fists excitedly, thinking that it was true! The Wei army was only concerned about guarding against the Jin people, but did not expect that our Shu army would suddenly arrive, so it would inevitably be caught off guard! The vassal states of the Jingnan army had been deposed by the Wei Dynasty, and there were no elite soldiers and generals in charge here. Moreover, the E Yue army in the east would be seriously ill and there was no time to send troops to Jiangling at present. How could we stop our army from sweeping the Jingxiang areas?
Wang Zongfan also issued orders one after another, and the Shu army's boat troops roared drums to attack and rushed to the east. At least in terms of the current situation, the Wei Dynasty naval army formation, which was set up on the river, collapsed and was killed. The boat troops led by Wang Zongfan were in a state of power and continued to launch fierce attacks until the remaining naval fleet retreated eastward in a mess, and could not stop the Shu army from controlling the Jiangling waters, and then landing on landing to attack various prefectures...
In fact, there were already 8,000 Shu troops, who had already landed in Xiazhou east of Jiangling. Wang Zongbo, the chief general who led the army, had already attacked Changyang, Yidu... several cities including Yiling, the capital.
Although he won consecutive battles, Wang Zongbo's expression was still very solemn in the past few days. After only a little rest, he led his subordinates to continue to invade eastward, making a move to take down Zhijiang, Songzi and other counties in the eastern corner of Jiangling's rule...
The reason why Wang Zongbo, the general of Shu who was also captured by Wang Jian as Yi'er, landed on the surprise attack and captured the counties very smoothly was because he had served in the Jingnan Army for a long time. Not only was he familiar with the terrain, but he even had many of the counties and towns around Jiangling in his early years, he had captured many of them.
Because Wang Zongbo's real name is Xu Cun, he also served in the army of the cannibal demon king Qin Zongquan in his early years. However, because he couldn't stand his cruelty and killing, he fled to the warlords who were about to seize the entire Jingnan area.
Although he has made many achievements, he can occupy Jingnan. Although Chengxian can govern the people and live and work in peace, he is paranoid and suspicious that his own sons can be killed... So Xu Cun, who is also suspected of being rebellious, fled to Shu long before Chengxian claimed to the Wei Dynasty. Because of his courage in fighting and going through some twists and turns, he was given the name of Wang Zongbo as his adopted son...
Now Shu Kingdom launched a surprise attack on the Wei Dynasty and sent Wang Zongbo to kill him back to his hometown... It can also be said that people can use their talents to make it very useful.
