Chapter 386 Sneak Attack on Jingzhou
"What?"
In Mianzhu City, when he saw Yang Huai, who fled back in confusion, Liu Zhang was extremely surprised. Later, when he heard that Jingzhou occupied Jiangyou again, he was even more angry.
"You mean Liu Qi is in Jiangyou?"
Liu Zhang's face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of annoyance. Although he knew in his heart that this was not the key to winning or losing, the 200,000 troops suffered losses in front of Jingzhou repeatedly, and he was still dissatisfied.
"Then Liu Qi and Huang Zhong attacked back and forth, and the last general was unprepared to lead to the defeat of Jiang You. Please atone for your sins." At this time, Yang Huai's forehead was already sweating faintly.
"Ha ha, unprepared?" Liu Zhang squinted and the corners of his mouth were full of smiles. He knew that Yang Huai would shirk, but such a clumsy excuse really made him feel funny.
"In your opinion, does Jingzhou still need to realize it to you to attack Jiangyou?" As soon as the words turned, Liu Zhang said coldly.
"The last general dare not!" Yang Huai hurriedly knelt down in the tunnel.
When the people around saw Yang Huai like this, they all sneered and said nothing. Yang Huai and Gao Pei smelled alike. They thought they had some ability and didn't pay attention to everyone. The last time this person was secretly ordered by Liu Zhang to capture Jiangyou in an hour, he was even more popular. Unexpectedly, the world was unpredictable. It was only a few days apart. The embarrassment.
Seeing Yang Huai kneeling to the ground, everyone watched coldly without the slightest intention of begging for mercy.
Huang Quan looked at the situation above the hall calmly, and there was no worry in his eyes. At this time, it was time to use people, and Yang Huai's status in Liu Zhang's heart was not low. Even if Liu Zhang was angry, it was impossible to punish Yang Huai heavily.
Zheng Du, who was beside him, took the look of the people on the hall in his eyes, but frowned. The people under Liu Zhang's command were not united. Now Yizhou tries its best to fight against Jingzhou. Any failure may have consequences in the eyes, and these people are still intrigued with each other for their personal preferences and grievances.
............................................................
Outside Shangyong City, Yan Yan led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to quietly appear in the dense forest outside Shangyong City. Under the leadership of Yan Yan all the way, the whereabouts of the army were very secret.
It was not discovered by Shangyong's scouts until it appeared not far from Shangyong City.
After listening to the report of the scout, Yan Yan fell into meditation. He had never heard of Li Hui's order, but he thought that he could be appointed as Shangyong Taishou, and he was also a talented person. Such a person should have some reputation in Yizhou. Why didn't he hear of it?
And according to the news from the scouts, Li Hui ordered the soldiers and horses of Shangyong County to be concentrated in Shangyong City a few days ago, as if it was to prepare for the sneak attack of the Yizhou army. Could anyone in Jingzhou see the intention of the master, and Yan Yan couldn't help guessing secretly.
He is confident that he can succeed in the sneak attack when Jingzhou is unprepared, but if Shangyong is on guard, it will be difficult for him to succeed.
Well, since you are here, how can you come back empty-handed? Even if Jingzhou finds the master's attempt, you have to have a try.
With a decision in his heart, Yan Yan did not hesitate any more. She turned to look at a young general beside him and said, "Order the army to rest and launch an attack at the fifth update."
Time passed quickly. There was no moonlight and the sky was extremely dark. Under Yan Yan's order, the army ran out of dry food and quickly gathered for Shangyongcheng.
The alert in Shangyong City has increased more than ten times than usual. After receiving the news from Yizhou, Li Hui was on guard against Yizhou's sneak attack at any time.
The mediocre place is located between Yizhou and Jingzhou. It is an important place to transport food and fodder, and there can be no mistake at all.
Countless torches are lit on Shangyong City, illuminating the whole Shangyong City Wall, and even outside the city can be seen. In the past, with the help of the moonlight, you can even see the situation far outside the city.
In the dark night, Yan Yan led 10,000 soldiers and horses to quietly approach the city. The situation in Shangyong City made Yan Yan extremely cautious and dared not be careless at all.
The army gradually approached the city. Suddenly, several torches were dropped on the tower. With the torches, several soldiers on the tower looked at the situation outside the city.
"What is that?"
Under the light of fire, several soldiers saw countless figures rushing this way.
The next moment, there was a mess above the city tower. The exclamation of more than a dozen soldiers immediately attracted the attention of the tower guards, and the rapid horn sounded, and the whole Shangyong City was clearly heard.
"What's going on? Where is the sound of the horn?
Li Hui, who had just fallen asleep, hurried out as soon as he heard the sound of the horn before he could get dressed.
"Your Excellency, the horn suddenly sounded at the gate just now, and I don't know what happened."
"Order the army in the city to gather and rush to the gate immediately." Hearing the report from his subordinates, Li Hui's face changed slightly. Was it true that Yizhou soldiers and horses came to make a sneak attack? He didn't dare to neglect it. He hurriedly picked up his clothes and rushed to the gate.
By the time Li Hui rushed to the gate, there was already a shout of killing above the tower.
When his whereabouts were leaked, Yan Yan did not worry at all. Instead, he urged the soldiers to attack the city. A famous Jingzhou soldier drove a ladder to the tower and fought with Jingzhou soldiers.
When the Jingzhou soldiers on the city tower found the Yizhou soldiers and horses, they had already prepared the equipment to defend the city. These days, under the order of Li Hui, the defense of Shangyong City was extremely perfect. A large number of the equipment for the city was transported to be placed on the tower to prepare for the sneak attack of the soldiers and horses in Yizhou.
When Li Hui caught up with the city, the soldiers on both sides were fighting fiercely. Looking at the soldiers who were fighting fiercely, Li Hui ordered the soldiers and horses in the city to be transferred to the tower to support, and personally commanded the army to defend the city.
He took a big knife from a soldier's hand. At all, the long knife in Li Hui's hand was incompatible with the Confucian robe on his body. Li Hui stepped forward to the edge of the city wall with a long knife and began to look at the situation under the city.
Li Hui was extremely familiar with the armor of Yizhou soldiers, so he recognized these soldiers and horses at a glance that they were Yizhou soldiers.
"It's him!" Suddenly, Li Hui's eyes focused on Yan Yan, with an unprecedented solemn face. Although Yan Yan's reputation is not as big as Yang Huai, her prestige in Brazil is even faintly higher than that of Yan Yan.
In Li Hui's view, if it hadn't been for Yan Yan's old age, his reputation could even surpass that of Yang Huai. It turned out to be Yan Yan who attacked Shangyong this time, and Li Hui was full of shock.
Taking a deep breath, Li Hui began to think about how to defend Shangyong. At this time, there were only 3,000 soldiers and horses in Shangyong City, while there were nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in Yizhou. There was also this general of Yizhou who personally commanded the army. Li Hui believed that he could defend the city under the attack of Yan Yan. Pool, but it is the limit to be able to hold on half.
What's more, it is not certain whether Yizhou soldiers and horses really come so much, so Li Hui did not dare to be careless at all.
"Come and spread the news quickly to Wancheng, Zitong and Xiangyang." After a little meditation, Li Hui ordered that what he needed to do was to delay the time as much as possible and prevent Yizhou soldiers and horses from attacking the city. As for how to choose, it still depends on the situation of Wancheng, Xiangyang and even Zitong.
As far as he knows, Zitong's Jingzhou army is also in a bad situation at this time. Since Yizhou can send Yan Yan to attack Jingzhou, can it also send others to attack Jingzhou?
...........................................................................
Just when Yan Yan attacked Shangyong, in Wuling County, Zhang Renzheng, who had disappeared for a long time, led 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers and horses to march rapidly. The purpose of Zhang Ren's trip was to sneak up on Wuling. Yan Yan attacked Shangyong to cut off the connection between Jingzhou and Yizhou, so that Liu Qi's army lost the supply of food and fodder.
Liu Qi made tens of thousands of soldiers and horses isolated and helpless, and used 200,000 soldiers and horses to crush Jingzhou soldiers and horses fiercely.
Zhang Ren's purpose is the whole four counties in Jingnan. Although the four counties in Jingnan are not the core of the whole Jingzhou, they are related to the stability of the whole Jingzhou. As long as one or two counties in the four counties in Jingnan are captured, the whole Jingzhou will immediately collapse, and it is difficult to support the whole Jingzhou with Xiangyang counties alone. .
Compared with Yan Yan, Zhang Ren is more cautious. Although Wang Can has always kept a low profile, his name has long been known all over the world. Wang Can has such a statement, and Zhang Ren has no doubt about his intelligence and ability.
Such a person can serve as Liu's staff for several years without any pretentiousness. Zhang Ren alone is very important, and he has ordered people to explore Wang Can's behavior after he went to Wuling.
Although there is no major change, the whole Wuling is well managed, and every action is extremely calm, so that people can't make mistakes and find little excuses to avoid it.
Although he was a little worried, Zhang Ren did not have too many worries. After all, Wang Can is a literati. What he showed before was only the reputation in the literary world, and this statement was also because Cai Yong and others created momentum for him.
As for the performance after coming to Wuling, although it is remarkable, it is just normal in his eyes.
"General, Linyuan is in front of you. There are 2,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, but these two thousand people are all soldiers and horses left after several fierce battles, all of whom are elite. Other soldiers and horses were scattered in the counties of the county by the king, guarding against the thieves, bandits and alien rebellion in the army. Next to Zhang Ren, a soldier dressed as a mountain man bowed and said.
"Well, how is the defense in the city?" Zhang Ren asked.
"Although the defense in the city has improved compared with the past, it is not much different. It just doubles the manpower and rebuilds the original broken city wall. The rest is not even equipped with the equipment to defend the city."
The soldiers dressed as mountain people were stunned and then said easily.
Nodding and thinking that there is nothing strange about it. Wuling County is located at the junction of the two states. There are many foreign mountain bandits. There are often mountain bandits and ethnic groups in rebellion. Last time, even the governor of Wuling was killed. This situation in Wuling County is reasonable.
After figuring out the situation in Wuling County, Zhang Ren began to think about how to quickly capture Wuling.
