Chapter 2053: The battle is dangerous and Dangyangqiao is defeated
In the early morning, there was some mist.
Surrounding the north of Xiangyang, there is a continuous camp.
The endless Han River washed away some of the war smoke and blood that were spreading around Xiangyang. After the defeat of Ganning, Xiangyang City lost the protection of the Han River, leaving only the shell of the city wall.
The battles over the past few days have made the area of the Han River in Xiangyang full of various traces left by the battle, including but not limited to corpses of various forms, as well as broken flags, broken arrows, solidified blood, and charred equipment. On the entire battlefield, it was extremely tragic, which really made the Jingzhou people who had experienced the battle formation really teach a lesson.
Occasionally, there will be a team of more than ten people coming out of the camp and then parading on the battlefield. Generally, these people search for the remains of their comrades, and they will also pick up some useful utensils. Of course, most of the time, they will not find any good things, but occasionally they will gain a little, which is the little happiness between life and death on the battlefield.
The two sides are temporarily on standstill, but above the city of Xiangyang, the figures are still a little frightened.
In recent years, the Cao army fought south and north, conquered cities and territory, and was mainly infantry and had rich experience in siege battles, which was beyond the expectations of the Jingzhou soldiers.
In the past five days, Cao's army was commanded by Xiahou Dun and launched an attack from two aspects. The offensive was like a tide, as if there was no time to stop. In addition, the combat effectiveness of Cao's soldiers was generally better than that of Jingzhou soldiers. If Wen Pin had not resisted the death on the city wall, the combat readiness in Xiangyang City would have been relatively sufficiently stored, and I was afraid that it would have been conquered by Cao's soldiers long ago.
It is precisely because of the powerful soldiers of the Cao army that even though the Cao army did not attack for the moment, the soldiers at the head of Xiangyang City did not dare to relax, for fear that the Cao army would roar and launch a new wave of offensive in the next moment...
Although Wen Pin was tired, he was still patrolling the city. Compared with the offensive of Cao's army outside the city, he was more worried about the soldiers and the morale of the people in the city.
Morale, such an invisible and intangible thing, greatly affects the success or failure of the cold weapon battle. The powerful strength demonstrated by the Cao army has caused some of the only morale in Xiangyang City to be consumed rapidly.
Wenpin couldn't help but look up at the city gate tower.
Liu Cong in the city gate tower barely showed his face on the first day of Cao's attack, but never showed his face again.
Are you scared?
Wenpin can understand, but understanding does not mean support.
Ordinary people can be afraid, afraid, and even hate war. But now, as the heir of Jingzhou Daye, Liu Cong will not stand up when he should stand up, so in the future...
In Wenpin's view, the reason why Liu Biao put Liu Cong here specifically was naturally to force Liu Cong to grow up as soon as possible. However, in this case, sometimes there will be sudden enlightenment, and sometimes it will be a seedling.
Wen Pin lowered his eyes and continued to move forward, but he didn't know how far this road could go in his heart.
The war is fierce and the war is naturally dangerous. The natives of Jingzhou in Xiangyang City finally no longer have the intention of drinking wine and singing flower-like tunes. Every household is in panic. Faced with the unknown future, a feeling of fear is inevitably rising from their hearts, and then something else is born.
In history, before the Battle of Chibi, most of the natives in Jingzhou were detached from the world and looked like seclusion. They often gathered together in three or five to drink and sang, looked down on Liu Bei, and looked down on Sun Quan, and had little affection for Cao Cao. They fished in a straw raincoat, bamboo horses and boats, as if they were paradise.
Now, what is presented in Xiangyang City is another ecological environment.
On the long street, basically they were temporarily requisitioned by war. The soldiers sitting or lying, various types of equipment, horizontal or vertical, complete or incomplete weapons and armor were all filled with the smell of blood and sweat, as well as the smell of dust and mud, and the smell of death with rotten wounds, it was like a beggar camp, which looked a little like a holy place of Jingchu culture in the past?
Houses near the city walls were demolished. One was to supplement the consumption of rolling stones and wood, and the other was to facilitate the formation of troops. Many ordinary civilians were forced to become wartime laborers, responsible for transporting materials and equipment. Some people with identities were like being in jail and could not travel easily. Of course, even if they could travel, they could not go anywhere.
Before the war came, everyone was a fearless person. He patted his chest and said that war was all about what it was. I was full of courage! When I really wanted to go to the battlefield, I would kill all directions without any ambiguity. But when I saw the war, the guys who always said that I would say that I would beat my chest and would always beat my chest were like jaundice with too much bile. Oh, he shrank his neck, like a frightened quail, hushing his head in his armpits, trembling.
In such an environment, some people gathered secretly and started some conversations.
"There is no regrets to die in health, and the beginning of the kingly way... Now, haha, where can you maintain health? haha..."
"Maybe there should be a debate, "It's not me, it's a soldier." Humph...
"Those who drive the people for Tang and Wu were Jie and Zhou..."
"What should I do now?"
"The people are the most important, and the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important. Therefore, if the people of Qiu are the emperor, the emperor is the princes, and the princes are the officials. If the princes are the danger to the country..."
『Hmph…』
"hehe……"
『Board…』
『Chrazha…』
In the dark room, the faint light and shadow were shaking. Although it was spoken by people, it was like a ghost.
…U·ェ·*U…
Changbanpo, Dangyang Bridge.
If Mr. Luo hadn't had this kind of talent, he might not have been famous.
After Pan Zhang from Jiangdong conquered Maicheng, the Jingzhou soldiers who were originally in Nanjun fled north and learned that Cao's army had besieged Xiangyang. Jiangdong naturally quickly took over various places in Nanjun, Jingzhou and began to plunder the great cause.
Changbanpo is a north-south passage and belongs to the area that must be transported from the surrounding area. Therefore, there are naturally troops from Jiangdong garrison, and the main general is Sima and Ma Zhong, under Pan Zhang.
Ma Zhong was originally a hunter in the mountains. Not to mention anything else, his archery skills are pretty good. Since following Pan Zhang to Jingzhou north, he has naturally gained a lot of benefits, but he has been a little worried these days.
Jingzhou has a good soil and soil, a large population, a large number of pigs, sheep, dogs and chickens, as well as various materials, large and small items, all of which are dazzling. Once they are plundered, they feel that they cannot be missing and they all need to be transported back to Jiangdong. In this way, there will naturally be problems in manpower transportation.
On the Changban slope of Dangyang, there is a place where hedgehogs gather, which is blocked and the convoys from all over the place are not giving in to each other, and everyone must pass first. The Hou Duwei, who led the auxiliary soldiers and civilians, seized Ma Zhong and quarreled around him. Everyone expressed that they would pass the place as fast as possible, the first and the most complete. However, even if Ma Zhong had four heads and eight hands, which could effectively coordinate, how could he have enough carriages and horses out of thin air to transport so many things in a short time?
Some have to go to water, some have to go to land, and ships, mules and horses need to be allocated. In addition, Ma Zhong has a low background, and these guys who are plundering resources in Jiangdong may not be higher than Ma Zhong's position, but they are somewhat related to the Jiangdong family. Naturally, they are also drunk and are not polite to Ma Zhong. Sometimes Ma Zhong has to hold his anger, nod and reconcile it. After a day, they deal with these trivial matters, but they can't get angry, so they can only hold it in, not to mention how depressed he is.
They are all from humble origins, but Pan Zhang can't give face to the Jiangdong family, but Ma Zhong is not. The reason is very simple. If you can't figure it out, you may not have to stay in Jiangdong anymore.
Among some people's ideas, there are two types of people in the world who hate the most. One is that they don't queue up and go to the line, and the other is that they don't let me go to the line when I want to go to the line...
Therefore, after Ma Zhong was able to reconcile it once, he found that not only did he fail to solve the problem, but it caused more problems. These problems had conflicts with each other and even became more complicated. Ma Zhong, who had been running back and forth for a day, finally came to an end until dusk, and the transportation matters came to an end. He felt as if he was stepping on cotton under his feet, and it was a little soft and tilted. He couldn't help but curse in his heart, "It's so damn that he's even more tired than going into battle!"
Just as Ma Zhong was a little unable to hold on and was about to go back and have a good sleep, he suddenly felt a little shaken on the ground. At first, Ma Zhong thought he was tired. When he saw the soldiers around him, he stared at the ground with white faces, he suddenly realized and shouted, "It's a cavalry! The enemy attacks! The enemy attacks!"
There are not many cavalrymen in Jiangdong, so who else can come? It must be the enemy!
In the dim sky, the figures of cavalry suddenly appeared in the distance of sight, filling the entire eye. Needless to say, these cavalry also wrapped cloth shovels on horse hooves, and when they approached Changbanpo, they suddenly launched a surprise attack!
When Ma Zhong discovered these cavalry, the Cao army cavalry suddenly appeared on Changbanpo had already raised the horses to the highest speed, held the long robbery high, waved the sword, and ran towards the temporary camp where Ma Zhong was here!
Sharp shouts sounded one after another: "Enemy attack! The enemy attack! Cao army! It's Cao army!!"
Jiangdong, who was resting in the camp, was alarmed and rushed out in a daze. Some remembered to take swords and guns, while others rushed out empty-handedly. As a result, they ran halfway back and then collided with the soldiers behind them, rolling on the ground with all their backs.
No one expected that the Cao army would appear here. Whether it was Pan Zhang, Ma Zhong, or other Jiangdong generals, they thought that Cao Cao must conquer Xiangyang first before he could go south. It would not be too late to see Xiangyang being conquered and prepare to fight against Cao, so Jiangdong was busy transporting and plundering, and for the time being, no one was focusing on guarding against Cao Cao...
Then the Cao army cavalry rushed in front of him and hit Ma Zhong's face!
Changbanpo, near Dangyang, was originally a north-south passage, but from south to flattened by a horse. When the Cao army's cavalry advanced and attacked, even Mr. Zhang San couldn't help but scream and squeezed twice and plucked up his courage and broke up Dangyang Bridge and fled, not to mention Jiangdong soldiers like Ma Zhong.
Indeed, the Jiangdong Army is very powerful on the water, but on land, I will get a 20% discount first...
The problem is that Jiangdong Bing actually did not realize this at the beginning.
In the Han Dynasty, the south was hot. Without air conditioning, it would be difficult for fat people to survive. Under the slightest victory, most of the Jiangdong people living in the south of the Han Dynasty seemed slightly short, flexible in shape, and low in the center of gravity, making it easier for them to find the center of gravity on the swaying and undulating boat surfaces, or even leaps around, like walking on flat ground.
People from the north, especially among the white mountains and black waters, are relatively difficult to survive because they need to resist the cold and have no fat layer, so the colder the place, the bigger the body and thicker the fat, and naturally have stronger ability to resist hits. Simply put, it is thicker the blood and resistant to beats.
If you fight alone, it is better to be flexible or stronger, or if you have thicker blood, it is not easy to make a conclusion. However, in the military formation, when facing a group of hundreds of people gathered together, the ones with thicker blood undoubtedly have a natural advantage. In the military formation, there are people on both sides, and no matter how flexible they are, where can they hide? The Jiangdong people who fell down suddenly saw the Qingzhou soldiers who were still fighting with blood on their bodies, and naturally they were trembling.
Of course, it is not to say that the Jiangdong soldiers are completely useless. When facing the Cao army's cavalry, the Jiangdong soldiers also launched a certain counterattack. Most of the Jiangdong soldiers are part-time archers in the navy, and almost everyone is equipped with bows and arrows. Therefore, even without special instructions, they instinctively launched fire on the Cao army's cavalry.
Including Ma Zhong.
The penetration and lethality of the bow and arrow were within fifty steps. The Cao army cavalry who was shot almost immediately fell to the ground and rolled into a ball, but the distance of fifty steps could only allow the Jiangdong soldiers to shoot one or two arrows. Then the cold blade cut down the tip of the nose with a roar!
On the other hand, for the Cao army cavalry, the infantry that could not be attacked in an array, especially the archers, was simply the most pleasant thing. They could rush as they wanted, and rush as they wanted. Although the Cao army cavalry fell down some people because of the counterattack of the Jiangdong soldiers, the next moment, the Jiangdong soldiers were attacked into the shape of the Cao army cavalry.
The extreme horse speed was mentioned, making the war horses seem to be flying in the air with four hooves. The Cao army cavalry had to shrink behind the horse's neck and try to reduce the area of arrows. Then when they broke into the Jiangdong army array, the snow- bright sword suddenly shone, bringing up pieces of flesh and blood!
Ma Zhong shot and killed several Cao army cavalry, and then Cao army cavalry rushed to the front. Ma Zhong almost couldn't resist the sword that was cut down with the horsepower. Then, seeing the next Cao army cavalry stabbed at the spear, he screamed in fear, and he didn't care about his image and decency. The lazy donkey rolled over and avoided it.
In the blink of an eye, there was a mess of chaos, a fireworks filled with it, and a sea of corpses and blood.
The Jiangdong soldiers should have been covered by camps, but now there is a problem with the defense system itself. The convoys of commuters and mules and horses are congested at the intersection and occupy a large area of land. In order to make these transported materials safe and orderly, the Jiangdong soldiers who could have defended in the camp had to extend outward for management, which exposes the key points outside the original defense system.
The Cao army came suddenly. If these baggage convoys could react effectively, integrate and form a line to fight the baggage vehicles, it might be a different situation. However, these people who were transferred from the transport are all different. There is no Jiangdong general in the middle to dispatch it at Changbanpo, how could they cooperate?
So, even Ma Zhong was fleeing in a panic, and the Jiangdong soldiers on Changbanpo were naturally collapsed.
The Cao army cavalry who rushed over later rushed into Jiangdong camp, threw fire-driven objects everywhere, and chopped and killed everywhere. The Jiangdong soldiers and civilians mixed together, shouting and running aimlessly on the battlefield. The transport military marquis Sima, who had been coquettish in front of Ma Zhong, are not much better now, and are even more out of place than the civilians, and are just rushing to escape with their tails!
Changbanpo, Dangyang Bridge.
The Jiangdong soldiers acted as the Liu Bei army in history. They were coaxed by the Cao army's cavalry and drove them everywhere. The collapsed array could not be controlled. Many people's goals were the same, which was the Dangyang Bridge built on the Dangyang River!
A lot of people rushed towards Dangyang Bridge, and then they were crowded on the bridge deck.
Then it was like constipation, right at the bridgehead, and it couldn't be moved.
It was obvious that the bridge was spacious, but the soldiers and civilians in Jiangdong who were crowded on the bridge were unable to move. The people stuck on the bridge were blushing and wanted to move forward with their teeth and claws, but they couldn't move. For a moment, many people were squeezed into the water by the people behind, and were rolled up by the river and floated towards the downstream.
More and more fireheads rose up, and the goods that the soldiers of Jiangdong finally plundered were ignited. Smoke was everywhere. As the fire was pounding, the sound of horse hooves of the cavalry of Cao's army was getting closer and closer, and the panic screams in his ears were uncontrollable. This period of the incident was even more broken, and the only reason for these soldiers and civilians in Jiangdong were also lost. They just wanted to escape with the flow of people, and then increased the burden on Dangyangqiao, making the constipation more and more serious.
Cao's army approached, and then threw all the cloth, grease and other things collected by the soldiers from Jiangdong toward the crowds in Dangyang Bridge. They even drove mules and horses to hit them directly, followed by the torches...
