Battle Of He Fei (Part4)

This battle has taken long enough, time to end it!! Zhu Ge Liang, the Shu-Han prime minster sent an envoy to Wu, requesting Sun Quan to attack Cao Cao as well. Sun Quan agreed and brought 100,000 troops to set up base at Chaohu Port. Sun Quan personally lead an attack on He Fei, while Lu Xun of Wu and his officer Zhu Ge Jin to attack Xiang Yang, Sun Shao and Zhang Cheng to attack Guangling Huaiying. This formed a three pronged attack on Cao Cao's kingdom of Wei. In June 234 AD, Man Chong wanted to lead reinforcements to rescuse Zhang Ying at He Fei, but Tian Yu said that troops in He Fei was enough to resist Sun Quan's attack. After many events taken place, In July, Sun Quan's food began to run low, Cao Rui of Wei personally lead the defense of He Fei himself forcing Zh Ge Ji Of Wu to retreat. Man Chong used fire to destroy Sun Quan engines of war, killing Sun Quan's nephew, Sun Tai in the process. Sun Quan's troops were down with a disease again, and Sun Quan ordered a retreat as Cao Rui's troops were coming soon to attack them. Lu Xun, Zhu Ge Jin, Sun Shao and Zhang Cheng were all retreating from Xiang Yang, Guangling and Huaiying as Sun Quan ordered a retreat. In 253 AD, Zh Ge Ke of Wu refused to listen to any advice and led 20,000 troops to attack the Wei Kingdom. In April, his troops reached Huainan and He Fei. Zhu Ge Ke surrounded He Fei and attacked it. The defending general of He Fei, Zhang Te, used a number of strategies and tactics to forced Zhu Ge Ke into retreat, and He Fei's control was back to Wei at last. The Wu Army was badly defeated and humiliated at The Battle Of He Fei. They lauched another attack at Ru Xu Kou hoping to take revenge upon the humilation Cao Cao had bestowed upon them. That is the end of The Battle Of He Fei. Enjoy!!!!
