Chapter 3333 I thought
It has to be said that for generals who are close to first-class or quasi-first-class, and even for those who are not as good as first-class but have an unusually acute attitude to the battlefield, inadvertent speculation has amazing accuracy.
Just as Zhu Ling guessed, under Pang Tong's command, Wuguan's attack on Wuguan Dao officially launched.
There were sounds of drums, and under the guidance of the three-color battle flag, more than 2,000 infantry and troops drove out of Wuguan and advanced along the Wuguan Road. In front of the army were the unfolding cavalry scouts, and the generals in the rear were Huang Zhong and Pang Shanmin.
Many people think that Wu Pass is a point, but in fact Wu Pass is a path.
There are various passes on the Wuguan Road that have been left since Qin and Chu fell in love and killed each other. All of them can be called Wuguan Pass. Of course, the largest pass has been given to Cao's army, but after the Cao army seized it, it also lost the momentum of attack...
And now, it is time to regain Wuguan Pass.
There are also Nanyang, Wancheng...
For ordinary Hussar soldiers, perhaps attacking Jingxiang would only mean an additional place to gain merits, but it was of some special significance to Pang Shanmin.
Previously, in order to restrain the Central Route Army of the Cavalry, Cao Cao sent Cao Ren to fight for Wuguan. Pang Shanmin had to give up Wancheng. Although Pang Shanmin had considered it a long time ago that if an unfavorable situation really occurred, then giving up Wancheng would be a last resort, but he was reluctant to leave it.
Now that we marched into Jingxiang, it means that we may regain Wancheng again. For Pang Shanmin, he was extremely nervous, expectant and afraid. I won’t mention what we expect. What we are afraid of is that Cao’s army has destroyed too much on Wancheng, or if he heard that they marched, what had not been completely destroyed was eventually destroyed...
So although he has entered the army now, Pang Shanmin's brows are still frowning.
After all, Pang Tong is Pang Tong, and Pang Shanmin is Pang Shanmin.
Although most people in Jingxiang would not separate Pang Tong and Pang Shanmin from different places, Pang Shanmin actually had some concerns. Not many, but it cannot be said that there was no such thing as at all. After all, Pang Shanmin was not old and had not cultivated to the level of open-mindedness of his father.
At the same time, he also had a hidden thought in his mind, which was that he could inherit the name of Pang in Jingxiang. Or many years later, there would be Pang in Jingxiang and Pang in Guanzhong.
Pang Degong has gone to immortality.
As a direct descendant of Pang Degong, if he could not inherit the name of Pang Degong and instead made a son become a famous representative of Pang's clan in the world, in addition to showing Pang Tong's excellence, it would also also mean that it was Pang Shanmin's incompetence.
In fact, Pang Shanmin may not realize that although his father Pang Degong has always been favored by him, he has no special requirements. Even when Liu Biao wanted to borrow the title of Pang Degong and came out to give Pang Shanmin a idle official position, Pang Degong refused.
It is about favor and protection. And there is another point that Pang Degong has never said that Pang Shanmin’s talent is not as good as Pang Tong…
Fortunately, Pang Shanmin did not have the idea of ​​fighting with Pang Tong. He just wanted to return to Jingxiang and regain the status and territory of Pang's original position and territory in Jingxiang, but he didn't want Pang Degong's name to disappear from Jingxiang.
A person always has multiple identities. Generally speaking, Pang Shanmin is still a good person, but he seems a little inconspicuous under the shadow of Pang Tong. Moreover, even if Pang Shanmin himself doesn't care, his wife and his children may not be as open-minded as him or his father.
Before the Cao army attacked Wuguan, although Pang Shanmin also assisted in Wuguan, the most important responsibility was taken on by Liao Hua and Huang Zhong. Pang Shanmin did not actually bear much pressure, and had not been under enough pressure on the battlefield, so naturally there was no big gain or growth. Therefore, this time, Pang Shanmin had no idea of ​​any confidence in his battle, and was not as confident as Huang Zhong beside him.
After all, I don’t have many soldiers, less than three thousand.
If there were 30,000 troops, Pang Shanmin would be extremely relaxed...
F2A, just have hands.
Of course this is impossible.
Therefore, it is normal for Pang Shanren to have a worry-like face.
The fewer soldiers there are, the more careful they need to be allocated. There is no capital to be lazy and sloppy. You can only plan in detail and lead the whole with the point to make the attack smoothly.
Pang Shanmin also stayed in Xiangyang for a while. He knew that Xiangyang was not easy to fight. Even though the pressure was very high, when Pang Tong's order reached Wuguan, Pang Shanmin did not push back three times and four times.
Of course, there is no way to have any artillery support in Wuguan Road.
The dense forests of the mountain roads are still a nightmare for Bu Tan to cooperate even in later generations.
Are there some grenades and gunpowder? There are some, but not many, so you can't squander it.
Huang Zhong commanded more than 2,000 troops, but he did not reach the upper limit of his processor at all. He was relaxed and comfortable. Not only could he adjust the speed of his horse's behavior in real time, but he could also take the time to glance at Pang Shanmin's expression, guessing what he was worried about, and comforted him: "Young Master Pang does not need to worry, so that you can say that this time you advance, it is not advisable to take it."
"It's not appropriate to take it hard?" Pang Shanmin thought for a while, nodded, and then asked hesitantly, "Then where is the strategy coming from?"
Huang Zhong smiled, "Lingjun said, wait for the news, wait..."
『Wait a little longer?』 Pang Shanmin was astonished as Zhu Ling heard these words, "What does it mean?"
Although Pang Shanmin and Pang Tong are relatives and cannot write two characters in one stroke, things like this still need to be communicated through third-party people. It is a bit strange, but it is also normal. Just like the family, parents and children communicate with each other, they also need to use third-party hardware and software...
Of course, Huang Zhong didn't quite understand what Pang Tong's "waiting for news" meant, but he was not in a hurry and believed that Pang Tong would inevitably make arrangements.
Just as the two of them were talking, a soldier came back to report that it was the vanguard who discovered Cao's army, like Wenpin's army...
After Wenpin captured Wuguan Pass, he stationed on the spot at Wuguan.
Because no one ordered him to retreat.
Even though Cao Zhen and Cao Ren had already returned to Jingxiang, Wenpin was still on the Wuguan Road, at the broken pass where he had spent countless lives to barely move forward.
At most, others are in a dilemma, but Wenpin is currently a trivial problem.
When he advanced, he was powerless to advance. Not only was the soldiers so angry that they lost their energy, but even Wenpin's own tribe's private soldiers were almost exhausted, and he had not received any supplements from Cao's army. After all, Cao's army at the moment was not enough to care about Wenpin's life or death?
If you retreat, there is no Cao Ren's order. Although Cao's army himself wants to leave, it seems that Wuguan does not regard it as a major matter related to life and death. But if Wen Pin takes someone and retreat without a clear order, then he will not say that he will just be naked on his head!
It is also impossible to defend.
How hard the Cao army fought before, it is still as difficult to defend now.
After the news was sent back by the checkpoint, almost all the Cao army defenders who were still here changed their faces. These people rushed to the broken pass wall and looked into the distance.
I saw a three-colored flag at the corner far away from the mountain road.
On the mountain road, there are also slogans of soldiers marching vaguely along the mountain mist, just like rolling thunder in the sky, which will bring about a storm and storm in a moment.
The sharp long spears emitted a terrifying atmosphere between the mountains and forests.
Wen Pin also climbed to the observation deck and stared at the cavalry coming from a distance, with a pale face.
He expected that the Cavalry Army would come back, but he didn't expect it to come so soon!
He has tried his best.
Maybe here...
Is it his burial place?
『General! General!』
A few general shouts brought Wen Pin's thoughts back to the cruel reality.
Wen Pin turned his head and saw that his guard was calling him. Looking at the guard's face that was already thin, Wen Pin couldn't help but feel ache in his heart. The Wen family is not a huge family, and anyone in the family is precious, and for Wen Pin, it is even more and more. People in the family followed Wen Pin because they trust Wen Pin, but now Wen Pin has brought them all to death.
Some are dead, and the rest are only breath.
"Don't worry, they don't come so fast."
Wen Pin said slowly, trying to stabilize the morale of the army in this way. "They also need to build some siege equipment, at least a few shield cars and ladders..."
As he said that, Wen Pin found that his subordinates and the surrounding Cao soldiers' faces became more and more dismal, and quickly added, "Come on! Report this letter quickly! Don't worry! General Cao will not leave us alone!"
Although Wen Pin said it firmly, perhaps everyone has an answer in their hearts about what it is.
If you want to compare the number of soldiers, Wen Pin actually has a large number of soldiers left here. Generally speaking, the number of soldiers stationed here by the Cavalry Army at that time was about to be similar, and the same number of soldiers stationed here was also more than 1,000. Logically speaking, since it is equivalent, even if the destruction of the pass was deducted and the Cavalry Army held for more than a month at that time, Wen Pin can now be at least ten days and a half months...
But it would be great if war could be calculated so simply.
The Cavalry Army did not seem to be walking fast, but in fact, because there was no pause in the queue, it was quite smooth, as if it was swimming on a mountain road. Soon, in Cao's vision, the red tassels on the trousers were filled with the rising and falling red tassels on the trousers.
Wen Pin turned around and saw that it seemed that the red tassels had sucked away the blood of the surrounding Cao army soldiers.
『I hope...I hope...』
Wen Pin sighed in his heart, but it is probably difficult for him to say clearly what he hoped for.
Just as Wen Pin sighed secretly, the battle between Cao's army against Jiangling had begun.
Although Lu Su traveled all the way to Xu County to start negotiations and wanted to bridge the broken alliance, for Cao Ren, losing Jiangling was like a man from Jiangdong who was pulling shit on his head...
Although he didn't care whether Jiangling was good or bad, in Cao Ren's opinion, at least Jiangling was his dog, and Jiangdong people killed and ate meat without saying a word. Have you ever asked him the master?
If you can't defeat the Cavalry Army, it's still acceptable to Cao's army. After all, most of the Cavalry Army are elite. Just like a poor student who sees the top student, you won't feel embarrassed if you don't win the exam. But if even the Jiangdong people who are also poor Jiangdong can't take the exam, then they are really the brother of the big man!
Therefore, even if the arrows and crossbows on Jiangling City roar down, as long as they enter an arrow, there is a danger of being shot. However, Cao's army still shouted and pushed the shield cart forward.
There is basically no problem with the shield chariot resisting arrows, but if it is a crossbow, it will inevitably be damaged.
The splashing wood chips hit Cao Jun's helmet, jingling.
The broken shield cart remained on the road where the soldiers passed, turning into waste on the battlefield, with blood flowing around, like blooming blood flowers. The moat water in front of Jiangling City Wall had been hollowed out and drained, and the ditches were filled with two or three attack surfaces by wooden boards and soil.
More than two thousand infantry troops approached Jiangling City within a hundred steps, and began to attack with the intense drum beats of war drums.
The animals instincts in Cao's blood were aroused. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong was a talent for self-learning. Facing the Jiangdong Army and theirs howled wildly, they were astonishing as the earth and magnificent.
The Jiangdong soldiers in Jiangling performed their skills, quickly fired quickly and focused on attacking the Cao army. Every time dense arrows roared down, some people could fall from the Cao army, but this could not stop the Cao army from surging.
Given Jiangdong's absolute advantage in long-range fire crossbows, Cao Ren simply gave up suppressing bows and arrows and rushed forward to fight with the Jiangdong army in close combat. After suffering considerable casualties, Cao's infantry finally advanced to the Jiangling city wall under the cover of the remaining shield chariot and began to climb the city to fight hand-to-hand combat.
After the Jiangdong Army entered the hand-to-hand combat stage, it became a little weak, and casualties continued to soar in the bloody melee battle. Spears and swords came and went, in and out, singing among the human tissues with various colors of juice and foam.
Some of the shooters of the Jiangdong Army also tried to stand on the higher corner tower watchtower and snipe the Cao army soldiers.
Jiangdong is dominant with the navy, which means that most of the Jiangdong soldiers wear leather armor suitable for fighting on the water surface, and rarely wear iron armor like weights. However, this advantage on the water surface naturally becomes a disadvantage on land at present.
The arrows are naturally extremely sharp at a certain distance, but when the enemy and us are mixed together, even if there is a shooting technique that is beyond ordinary people, it may not be guaranteed to hit someone...
On the contrary, the Cao army infantry was more accustomed to fighting on land, imitating the armor of the Cavalry Army, which also made their blood strips longer than those of the Jiangdong Army. In addition, the Cao army infantry was used to attacking one city after another, and they also had a lot of experience in the cooperation of multiple weapons, especially in the cooperation between the shield soldiers and the spearmen, showing their very skillful combat skills and engaged in a bloody battle with the Jiangdong Army on the city wall.
Even though the number of Cao's soldiers was smaller than that of Jiangdong soldiers on the city wall, the Jiangdong soldiers would not be able to drive Cao's army down for a while!
While the competition for Jiangling City was unfolding, Cao's army also cooperated with the attack on the Jiangdong Army camp and water camp outside Jiangling City.
Especially the fight for the flanks of the Jiangdong Army was almost suppressed and beaten by Cao's army.
On the flanks of the army, they are often mainly cavalry or rapidly transferred troops, and the cavalry of the Jiangdong Army is a joke in front of the cavalry of the Cao army. Although the cavalry of the Jiangdong Army is basically the direct troops of the generals to be qualified to ride war horses, even such relatively elite Jiangdong soldiers, they have a frontal impact combined with the scattered Jiangdong infantry squads and constantly attacked the cavalry units of the Cao army from both wings. However, the cavalry of the Cao army did not know who they learned, and launched a line of troops similar to the Hu people, making the front of the entire cavalry line very wide, and then rotated and stormed.
The cavalry guards of the two wings of the Jiangdong Army need to protect their flank safety, so they cannot avoid fighting head-on with the Cao cavalry. However, the cavalry and tactics of these guys in Jiangdong could not resist the Cao cavalry, and were soon beaten by the Cao cavalry. The guards of the two wings of the Jiangdong were quickly severely damaged and completely lost the ability to protect the flanks of the army.
Cao Ren soon discovered the weakness exposed by the Jiangdong Army, and immediately began to invade the flanks of the Jiangdong Army with his soldiers, trying to cut off the connection between the Jiangdong Army's city and the water camp, divide and surround the Jiangdong Army, and acted as if he wanted to completely swallow these Jiangdong Army.
Jiangdong General Zhu Zhi is now in a panic.
This general who thought he had a plan to seize Jiangling, plundered Jingxiang Nanjun, and replenished his own pockets, has now been knocked out. The battles on land are completely different from those on the surface!
The current surface combat in the Han Dynasty is actually basically a line. Because most of them are fighting in rivers, the ship's disposable combat is similar to linear and single-process, but the combat on land is not like this, with a wide contact area. Especially when encountering a land combat veteran like Cao Ren, he would get out of control and catch Zhu Zhi off guard.
Zhu Zhi originally thought he had enough time and reason to move, but he never expected that Lu Xun and Jiang Qin would temporarily repel the Sichuan and Shu navy!
This led to the reason for withdrawal that Zhu Zhi had prepared to withdraw immediately...
Before, Zhu Zhi could say that the eldest brother didn’t laugh at the second brother. Everyone was defeated by the Sichuan and Shu army. Now they can’t stand it anymore. Naturally, they just had good brothers together, but they didn’t expect that Lu Xun, a thick-eyed and big-eyed person, actually made such a thing!
Once Zhu Zhi couldn't leave, Cao Ren naturally came.
Zhu Zhi's ability to fight water was still good, but of course the land battle was worse than Cao Ren. Not only Zhu Zhi's personal ability was poor, but the Jiangdong Army's ability to fight land was also worse than Cao's soldiers. Therefore, after Cao Ren launched an attack, he fell into a passive state before he could resist. He was about to cut off the connection between the city and the water camp with a knife...
At this moment, a fleet suddenly appeared on the river surface, and the Jiangdong Army immediately cheered loudly and its morale suddenly rose!
In the fleet, the Zhou flag fluttered high!
Governor Zhou is here!
The soldiers of the Jiangling defenders' water camp seemed to have been injected with stimulants, and immediately suppressed the Cao army's offensive momentum.
Seeing this situation, Cao's army knew that it was impossible to conquer for the time being, and it retreated like a tide.
After the disaster, the Jiangdong soldiers almost cried with joy!
Chapter completed!
