It has to be said that for generals who are close to first-class or nearly first-class, and even for those who are not first-class but have unusual acumen for the battlefield, casual guesses can be surprisingly accurate.
Just as Zhu Ling guessed, under Pang Tong's instructions, Wuguan's attack on Wuguandao officially launched.
With the sound of drums and under the guidance of the three-color battle flag, more than two thousand infantry troops marched out of Wuguan in a mighty manner and advanced along the Wuguan Road. In front of the army were hussars scouts spread out, and then
Fang's military governor generals were Huang Zhong and Pang Shanmin.
Many people think that Wuguan is a point, but in fact Wuguan is a road.
There are various large and small passes on the Wuguan Road that were left over from the time when Qin and Chu fell in love and killed each other. They can all be called Wuguan Pass. Of course, the largest pass was given to Cao Jun, but Cao Jun also lost it after taking it.
To increase the stamina of the attack...
And now, it is time to regain the Wuguan Pass.
And Nanyang, Wancheng...
For ordinary hussar soldiers, perhaps attacking Jingxiang is just another place to gain merit, but for the people of Pangshan, it has some special significance.
Previously, in order to contain the Hussars Middle Route Army, Cao Cao sent Cao Ren to fight for Wuguan. Pang Shanmin had to abandon Wancheng. Although Pang Shanmin had considered it a long time ago, in case something really went wrong.
Given the situation, giving up Wancheng was a last resort, but in the end I was reluctant to give up.
And now marching into Jingxiang means that it is possible to recapture Wancheng again. For Pangshan people, they can't help but feel extremely anxious, expecting and fearing at the same time. Let's not mention what they are looking forward to. What they are afraid of is that Cao Jun will treat Wancheng.
The damage to the city was too great, or upon hearing of their advance, what was not completely destroyed was eventually destroyed...
So even though he had already marched, Pang Shanmin's brows were still furrowed.
After all, Pang Tong is Pang Tong, and Pangshan people are Pangshan people.
Although most people in Jingxiang would not treat Pang Tong and Pang Shanmin separately, in fact, Pang Shanmin still has a little concern in his heart. Not much, but it cannot be said that there is no one at all.
.After all, Pang Shanmin is not too old yet, and he has not yet reached the level of open-mindedness that his father has.
At the same time, he also had a hidden thought in his heart, which was that he hoped to inherit the name of Pangzi in Jingxiang. Maybe many years later, there will be a Pangzi in Jingxiang and a Pangzi in Guanzhong.
Pang Degong has passed away.
As a direct descendant of Pang De Gong, if he could not inherit the name of Pang De Gong, but let a subordinate become a world-famous representative of the Pang family, it would not only illustrate the excellence of Pang Tong, but also the incompetence of Pang Shanmin.
In fact, Pang Shanmin may not realize that although his father Pang Degong has always been very fond of him, he has no special requirements. Even at that time, Liu Biao wanted to borrow Pang Degong's name and more or less came out to give Pang Shanmin a
When he was idle from his official position, Pang Degong refused.
It is love and protection, and there is another point that Pang Degong has never said. Pang Shanmin's talent is not as good as Pang Tong...
Fortunately, Pang Shanmin had no intention of fighting with Pang Tong. He just wanted to return to Jingxiang and regain Pang's original status and territory in Jingxiang. He just didn't want Pang Degong's name to disappear in Jingxiang.
That's all.
A person always has multiple identities. Generally speaking, Pang Shanmin is a good person, but he seems a bit inconspicuous under the shadow of Pang Tong. And even if Pang Shanmin himself doesn't care, his wife
His children may not be as open-minded as he or his father.
Before Cao Jun attacked Wuguan, although Pang Shanmin also assisted in Wuguan, the most important responsibilities were taken by Liao Hua and Huang Zhong. In fact, Pang Shanmin did not bear much pressure, but did not bear enough pressure on the battlefield.
, naturally there can be no big gains or growth, so Pang Shanmin didn't have much confidence in this battle, unlike Huang Zhong beside him who was as confident as he was.
After all, the troops he brought with him were not many, less than three thousand.
If there were 30,000 soldiers and horses, Pangshan people would be extremely relaxed...
As for F2A, just have the skills.
Of course this is impossible.
Therefore, it is normal for Pang Shanmin to have a worried look on his face.
The fewer soldiers there are, the more careful deployment is required. There is no capital for laziness and slippage. Only detailed planning and point-to-point planning can lead to a smooth attack.
Pang Shanmin also spent some time in Xiangyang. He knew that Xiangyang was not easy to fight. Even though he was under great pressure, when Pang Tong's order was conveyed to Wuguan, Pang Shanmin did not hesitate.
Wuguandao, of course, cannot have any artillery support.
Even in later generations, the mountain roads and dense forests are still a nightmare for Butan to cooperate with.
There are some grenades and gunpowder, but not much, so you can't squander them.
Huang Zhong commanded more than two thousand men and horses, which did not reach the upper limit of his processor. He was relaxed and comfortable. Not only could he adjust the speed of the men and horses in real time, he could also take the time to glance at Pang Shanmin's face and guess what he was worried about. He was relieved.
He said, "Young master Pang, there is no need to worry. I have told you that it is not advisable to attack with force this time."
"Isn't it appropriate to use force?" Pang Shanmin thought for a while, nodded, and then asked hesitantly, "Then where should we come from?"
Huang Zhong smiled, "Your Majesty said, wait for the news, wait a little longer..."
"Wait a minute?" Pang Shanmin was just as stunned as Zhu Ling when he heard these words, "What do you mean?"
Although Pang Shanmin and Pang Tong are relatives and cannot be written with two characters in one sentence, things like this still need to be communicated through a third party. It is a bit strange, but it is normal. It is like being in a family.
To communicate with people, parents and children, 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 definitely make arrangements.
While the two were talking, a soldier came back to report that the vanguard had discovered Cao Jun's troops, like Wenpin's troops...
After Wenpin captured Wuguan Pass, he stationed himself at Wuguan Pass.
Because no one ordered him to retreat.
Even though Cao Zhen and Cao Ren had retreated to Jingxiang, Wenpin was still on the Wuguan Road, at the dilapidated pass where he had spent countless lives to barely advance one step forward.
Others are at best in a dilemma, but Wenpin is faced with three dilemmas at the moment.
It was already too late to advance. Not only were the soldiers and soldiers demoralized, but even Wenpin's own private soldiers were almost exhausted, and they had not received any reinforcements from Cao's army. After all, Jingxiang was currently Cao's own army.
If you can't even care about your butt, how can you care about Wenpin's life and death?
There was no order from Cao Ren to retreat. Even though Cao Jun left whenever he wanted, it seemed that Wuguan did not regard Wuguan as a major life-and-death matter. But if Wenpin and his men retreated without a clear order, they would have
Sometimes it's hard to say that a bad thing is just put on one's own head!
It is equally impossible to defend.
How hard it was for Cao's army to fight before, it was just as hard to defend now.
After the news was relayed back from the checkpoint, the expressions of almost all the defenders of Cao's army who were still here changed. These people hurriedly ran up the broken pass wall, and then looked up into the distance.
I only saw a corner of the tricolor flag peeking out at the far corner of the mountain road.
On the mountain road, the chants of soldiers marching faintly came along the mountains, like rolling thunder in the sky, which would bring violent storms in a moment.
The cold light of those sharp spears exudes a frightening aura among the mountains and forests.
Wenpin also climbed onto the observation tower, staring at the hussars coming from a distance, his face pale.
He expected the Hussars to come back, but he didn't expect them to come so soon!
He has tried his best.
Maybe, here...
Is this where he is buried?
"General! General!"
Several shouts from the general brought Wenpin's thoughts back to the cruel reality.
Wenpin turned his head and saw that it was his guard calling him. Looking at the guard's face, which was so thin that his jawbones were high, Wenpin couldn't help but feel a throbbing pain in his heart. The Wen family is not a huge family, and everyone in the family is
It is precious, and it is even more so for Wenpin. People in the family followed Wenpin because they trusted Wenpin, but now Wenpin has brought them all to death.
Some have died, and the rest have only one breath left.
"Don't worry, they won't attack so quickly."
Wenpin 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 vehicles and ladders..."
As he said that, Wenpin noticed that the faces of his subordinates and the surrounding Cao soldiers became increasingly bleak, and he quickly added, "Come here! Report this letter quickly! Don't worry! General Cao will not leave us alone!"
Although Wenpin said it categorically, everyone may have an answer in their mind as to what exactly it is.
When it comes to comparing the number of soldiers, in fact, the number of soldiers stationed here by Wenpin is not small. It is roughly the same as the number of soldiers stationed here by the Hussars at that time, which is the same number of more than a thousand. Logically speaking, since it is quite
, then even if the damage to the pass is taken into account, the Hussars held on for more than a month at that time, so now Wenpin can hold on for at least ten and a half days...
However, it would be great if war could be calculated so simply.
The hussars didn't seem to move very fast, but in fact there was no pause in the queue, so they were quite smooth, as if they were swimming on the mountain road. Soon, Cao Jun's field of vision was filled with red dovetails rising one after another.
tassel.
Wenpin turned around and looked around, and saw that the red tassels seemed to have sucked the blood of the surrounding Cao soldiers.
"I wish... I wish..."
Wenpin sighed softly in his heart, but even he himself might not be able to explain clearly what he wished for.
Just when Wenpin was sighing secretly, Cao Jun's battle against Jiangling had already begun.
Although Lu Su traveled all the way to Xu County to start negotiations and wanted to heal the broken alliance, for Cao Ren, losing Jiangling was like the people of Jiangdong shitting on his head...
Although he said he didn't care whether Jiang Ling was good or bad, in Cao Ren's opinion, at least Jiang Ling was his dog. The Jiangdong people killed him for meat without saying a word. Have they ever asked him as the owner?
If you can't defeat the Hussars, Cao's army can still accept it. After all, most of the Hussars are elites. It's like a scumbag seeing a top student. He doesn't feel any shame if he doesn't win the exam, but if he can't even do the same
Even the scumbag Kodong people can't pass the exam, so they are really the younger brothers among the big men!
Therefore, even if the arrows and crossbows roared down from Jiangling City, as long as they entered the place where the arrows were fired, they would be in danger of being shot, but Cao Jun still shouted and pushed the shield chariot forward.
There is basically no problem with the shield car's resistance to arrows, but if it is a crossbow, it will inevitably suffer some damage.
The flying sawdust hit Cao Jun's helmet, making a clanking sound.
The damaged shield chariots remained on the road where the soldiers passed, turning into battlefield waste. Blood flowed all around, like blooming bloody flowers. The moat in front of Gangneung City Wall has been hollowed out and drained, and the ditches have also been drained.
Two or three attack surfaces were filled in with wooden planks and soil.
More than 2,000 infantry troops approached within a hundred steps of Jiangling City and began to attack amidst the passionate beating of war drums.
The animal instincts in Cao Jun's blood were aroused. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong was a self-taught talent. Facing Jiangdong's army, they howled crazily, earth-shaking and majestic.
Jiangling's Jiangdong soldiers showed what they were good at, firing quickly and concentrating on those Cao Jun who rushed forward. Every time dense arrows whizzed down, some of Cao Jun's soldiers would always fall, but this did not help.
Stop the surge of Cao's army.
In view of Jiangdong's absolute superiority in long-range fire bows and crossbows, Cao Ren simply gave up suppressing bows and arrows, and rushed directly to engage Jiangdong's army in close combat. After suffering considerable casualties, Cao Ren's infantry finally broke through under the cover of the last remaining shield vehicles.
On top of the Jiangling city wall, hand-to-hand combat began on the city.
After Jiangdong's army entered the hand-to-hand combat, it seemed a little weak, and the casualties continued to soar in the bloody close combat. On the city wall, spears and swords came and went, in and out, with juices and foams of various colors on the human body.
Singing among organizations.
Some shooters from Jiangdong's army also tried to stand on the higher turret lookout to snipe Cao's soldiers.
Jiangdong is dominated by the navy, which means that most of Jiangdong's soldiers wear leather armor suitable for fighting on the water, and rarely wear iron armor like weights. However, this advantage on the water is natural now on land.
became a disadvantage.
Arrows are naturally extremely sharp at a certain distance, but when the enemy and we are mixed together, even if you have extraordinary shooting skills, you may not be able to guarantee that you will hit someone...
On the contrary, Cao Jun's infantry are more accustomed to fighting on land. The armor they imitate the Hussars also makes their health bar longer than that of Jiangdong Army. In addition, Cao Jun's infantry are used to attacking one city after another.
, also has considerable experience in the coordination of multiple weapons, especially the coordination between shield soldiers and spearmen. He showed very skilled combat skills and launched a bloody battle with Jiangdong Army on the city wall.
Even if the number of Cao's soldiers is smaller than that of Jiangdong's soldiers on the city wall, Jiangdong's soldiers will not be able to drive Cao's army down for a while!
While the battle for Jiangling City was unfolding, Cao Jun also coordinated the attack on the Jiangdong Army camp and water village outside Jiangling City.
Especially the Jiangdong Army's flank fight was almost suppressed by Cao's army.
The flanks of the army are often dominated by cavalry or rapidly moving troops and horses. 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 are basically troops directly under the generals,
They are qualified to ride war horses, but even such relatively elite Jiangdong soldiers combined their frontal attacks with scattered Jiangdong infantry squads to continuously attack Cao Jun's small cavalry troops from both wings. However, Cao Jun's cavalry did not know who to attack.
They learned how to deploy a military line similar to that of the Hu people, making the front of the entire cavalry line very wide, and then continuously attacked and trampled them in turns.
The cavalry guards on the two wings of Jiangdong Army needed to protect their flanks, so they could not avoid a head-on battle with Cao Jun's cavalry. However, the riding skills and tactics of these guys in Jiangdong were unable to resist Cao Jun's cavalry, and they were quickly beaten to the ground by Cao Jun's cavalry.
The guards on both Jiangdong wings soon suffered heavy losses and completely lost their ability to protect the army's flanks.
Cao Ren quickly discovered the exposed weakness of Jiangdong Army, and immediately began to attack Jiangdong Army's flanks with soldiers, trying to cut off the connection between Jiangdong Army's city and water village, divide and surround Jiangdong Army, and made a plan to conquer these Jiangdong Army.
The posture of the army being completely swallowed up.
Jiangdong general Zhu Zhi is now in dire straits.
This general who originally thought he had succeeded in capturing Jiangling and plundering Jingxiangnan County to replenish his own pockets has now been knocked unconscious. Combat on land is completely different from combat on water!
The current surface combat in the Han Dynasty is actually roughly the same line. Because most of the combat is in rivers, the ship mismatch operations are similar to linear and single-process. However, the combat on land is not like this, and the contact area is wide.
, especially when he met a veteran of land warfare like Cao Ren, he came up with a heavy attack and caught Zhu Zhi off guard.
Zhu Zhi originally thought that he had enough time and reason to move, but he never expected that Lu Xun and Jiang Qin would temporarily repel the Sichuan-Shu navy!
This caused Zhu Zhi's original reasons for withdrawing troops to suddenly disappear...
In the past, Zhu Zhi could still say that the boss does not laugh at the second, and everyone is defeated by the Sichuan and Shu Army. Now they can't hold it anymore. Naturally, they will go together as good brothers. But he didn't expect that Lu Xun, a thick-browed and big-eyed man, would do such a thing.
out!
As soon as Zhu Zhi couldn't leave, Cao Ren came naturally.
Zhu Zhi's ability in water warfare is still good, but of course he is inferior to Cao Ren in land warfare. Not only is Zhu Zhi's personal ability poor, but Jiangdong Army's land warfare ability is also inferior to that of Cao Jun's soldiers. Therefore, after Cao Ren launched the attack
, it didn’t take long for them to resist and fell completely passive. They were about to be cut off by Cao Jun’s sword to cut off the connection between the city and the water village...
At this moment, a fleet suddenly appeared on the river. Immediately, Jiangdong Army cheered loudly, and their morale suddenly rose!
In the fleet, the Zhou flag is flying high!
Governor Zhou is here!
The soldiers of Jiangling garrison's water village seemed to have been injected with stimulants, and they immediately suppressed Cao Jun's offensive momentum.
Seeing this situation, Cao's army knew that it could not be conquered for the time being, so it retreated like an ebbing tide.
After the disaster, Jiang Dongbing almost cried with joy!
Zhu Zhi raised his head and looked up, the joy on his face just showed, then turned into darkness.
