"General, there are Cao thieves coming from the direction of Jingyang City for reinforcements!"
In the Han army commander's tent under Wushi City, Guan Ji received the urgent report. She raised her sword eyebrows specially made from willow eyebrows and showed a special smile on her face:
"Sure enough, he's here! Did Thief Cao come from Jingyang City or Linjing City? Have you found out?"
The Han army approached Wushi City with superior force, and naturally controlled the surrounding areas of Wushi City.
Especially Jingyang in the south is the subject of strict surveillance.
As soon as the Jingyang defenders left the city, the Han army sentry sent the news to Guan Ji as quickly as possible:
"Back to the general, we set out from Jingyang City. The main force of Cao's thieves on the Linjing side has not made any movement yet."
Jufu was more cautious and prudent: "Does the Cao thief have any other tricks to do this? Otherwise, if we attack Wushi City, then Jingyang City will be destroyed without attacking it?"
This Jingyang guard...could it be that he was sent by the king to act as a spy among Cao's thieves?
Zhang Yi was full of fighting spirit and showed no fear:
"Even if all Cao's thieves from Anding County arrive, we may not be without the strength to fight, unless Cao's thieves have a large army coming from Chang'an."
"The Cao thieves from Linjing haven't come here, which means they don't pay attention to us at all." Guan Ji stared at the sand table with burning eyes, "The Cao thieves from Chang'an are even less likely to come here."
"The Lord must have arrived at Yuezhi City, so the Cao thieves believe that we are just suspicious soldiers, and they must guard against the Lord with all their strength!"
Guan Ji said with a firm tone.
This time the monarch used his body as bait. Although he was surrounded by the cavalry battalion of Xiaowei Mansion and a large number of barbarian cavalry, risks were always present.
In order to minimize the risk, the staff department worked day and night on the sand table to deduce various plans.
Guan Ji knows all the most likely situations.
"Thinking about the time, the Lord should have arrived at Yuezhi City by now. Only in this way can we explain why the Cao thieves in Jingyang City dare to reinforce Wushi City."
It seems that Cao Cao, as expected, has determined that Junhou is leading the main force of Xiaowei Mansion.
"General, do you want to wait for news from the Lord?"
Jufu asked.
"No need." Guan Ji shook her head, her eyes firm, "Where is Yang Wanwan?"
Yang Wanwan, who led two thousand cavalry and served as the scout captain, came in hastily, "General, are you looking for me?"
"Except for the Cao thieves in the direction of Linjing, take back all the cavalry and be ready to obey orders at any time."
Guan Ji looked at Yang Wanwan and said, "If the Cao thieves in Wushi City are defeated, you will be responsible for leading the cavalry to intercept them and drive the defeated soldiers towards Jingyang City."
Yang Wanwan cupped his fists and said, "No."
"General Ju!"
"The end is here!"
"The Wudang Battalion is the main force in this attack on the city. As soon as the Cao thieves from Jingyang enter the city tomorrow, the city wall will be broken. Today you ask all the soldiers in the camp to have a good rest and make all preparations."
"promise!"
"General Zhang."
"The end is here!"
"The Cao thieves in Guanzhong often have cavalry. If they want to fight back with all their might, it will be up to Modao Camp."
"clear!"
"Okay, let's all go down and get ready."
The defenders of Wushi City waited for several days, but did not receive the large army from Linjing, but did wait for the reinforcements from Jingyang.
The Jingyang reinforcements entered the city at dawn. Although they did not intend to hide it from the Shu captives on the opposite side, they could at least make the other side unclear as to how many reinforcements were coming from their side.
Unexpectedly, when the guard of Jingyang saw the guard of Wushi City, he was shocked: "Why are you doing this?"
But I saw that the other party looked haggard, his eyes were lifeless, and his steps were floating, as if he had exhausted all his energy and energy.
Hearing the Jingyang Guard General ask this question, the Wushi City Guard General almost burst into tears:
"Shu captives...Shu captives are attacking the city very urgently. I have been living in the thunder for the past few days. My mind is shaken, I can't settle down, and my mental strength is exhausted."
The thunderous chariots of the Shu captives hurled rocks like thunder. No matter the generals or soldiers in the city, they had never seen such powerful thunderous chariots.
But the only thing he could rely on was the city wall.
Every day, I listened to the dense thundering sound, and from time to time, rocks would be thrown astray, smashing several unlucky guys into mud.
At the scene of the tragedy, it was impossible to tell where the arms were and where the legs were.
Not to mention that the only city wall we could rely on was trembling every day, as if it was about to collapse in the next moment.
In this case, there has been a small wave of activity happening.
One can imagine how much pressure the soldiers in the city were under.
If the Shu captives had not officially attacked the city, and they still had hope for reinforcements from Linjing, who would have thought about defending the city?
But how can outsiders know the hardships of the soldiers who defended the city in just these few days?
But when the Jingyang guard heard this, he was extremely surprised and said:
"The Shu captives outside the city are just suspected soldiers pretending to be powerful. Can An can force Wushi City to this point?"
Hearing this sentence, the eyes of the guard of Wushi City, who was originally dull, almost bulged out:
"Suspected soldiers? In the urgent letter sent to Linjing, it was clearly stated that they were elite Shu captives. How could there be any mention of suspected soldiers?"
"It's what the prefect said."
General Hu said, handing over a military intelligence letter.
The guard general of Wuzhi City hurriedly took it and opened it to take a look.
"Looking for fighter planes to annihilate the Shu captives under the city?!"
When the guard of Wuzhi City saw this sentence, his eyes bulged even more!
He looked at the official document in his hand, and then looked at the guard of Jingyang City, his face full of absurdity:
"Did General Hu not be intercepted by the Shu captives when he came this time?"
The guard general of Jingyang City was a member of Hu Zun's clan. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "The Shu captives are no more than suspicious soldiers, so how dare they intercept someone?"
Seeing the other party's confident and somewhat indifferent attitude, the guard of Wuzhi City felt that he had been insulted.
Under the emergency situation, he did not care that the other party's status was higher than his own, and directly led the Jingyang City guard to the city wall, pointed at the crumbling city wall, and said angrily:
"The siege equipment of the Shu captives is like thunder coming from the sky, roaring incessantly. Listening to it suddenly makes one's liver and gallbladder burst. Many soldiers in the city are timid."
Then he took General Hu to a temporarily safe city wall, pointed down from a distance and said:
"If it is true that the suspected soldiers of the Shu tribe are outside the city, then I have never seen such elite suspected soldiers before! Are the Shu tribesmen really invincible?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud sound in the air, and a thunderbolt came down from the blue.
The guard of Jingyang City was so shocked that he trembled.
Then, there were roars one after another - just after dawn, a new siege began again.
Seeing the heavy black rocks constantly hitting this side and feeling the constant trembling under his feet, General Hu of Jingyang felt that his heart was about to burst out of his chest.
Suddenly, there was a roar somewhere, and after a while, a soldier ran over with panic on his face:
"General, the wall in the northwest corner has collapsed!"
The guard of Wushi City turned pale, and then seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "It collapsed? It finally collapsed?"
The guard general of Jingyang City bravely stretched out his head and looked at the flying rocks in the air and the frightening sound of breaking through the air. He immediately took his head back tremblingly:
"Shu's thunderbolt chariot and stone are so powerful? Why did they only break the city today?"
With his feet on the city wall made of loess, and thinking about the scene he just saw, he would not believe even to death that Wushi City could persist until today before it collapsed.
It would have been better if you had broken it a day earlier, and I wouldn't have led the troops to this point!
Looking at this guy who became the guard of Jingyang City because of his connections with the Hu family, the guard of Wushi City just wanted to say: I had a great time playing with your mother on the couch!
Although he noticed that the other party was looking at him with caring eyes, General Hu of Jingyang was not in the mood to care about it, because he thought of a terrible possibility:
"Could it be possible that the Shu captives did it on purpose?"
Caring for mentally retarded eyes +1.
"But, how do Feng Wenhe explain it?"
"Feng Wenhe?"
"Feng Mingwen..."
"Isn't it Xiao Wenhe?"
Then care for the mentally retarded eyes +2.
The last stone hit the city wall, raising a large cloud of dust. The Han troops under the city began to line up opposite the wall collapse, apparently preparing to attack the city.
Although they knew that everyone in Anding County had been deceived by Xiao Wenhe, at the critical moment of life and death, the two guards of Wushi City still had to resist.
What if the opponent is really a suspected soldier of the Shu captives, as General Xiahou and Prefect Hu thought?
Then the Wei soldiers in the original Wushi City were hit head-on by a hail of arrows from the Wudang Battalion, and were scattered in a few blows.
In the past few days, they have been tortured by the roar to the point of almost neurasthenia, and their morale is quite low.
With health, no mana, no status, and no skills upgraded, who is the unworthy opponent with full health and mana?
However, when reinforcements from Jingyang City arrived for the first time, they still mistakenly thought that the Shu captives on the opposite side were just suspicious soldiers.
The leader, General Hu, did not dare to explain to his subordinates, otherwise his morale would probably bottom out all of a sudden.
It's just that the reinforcements from Jingyang have just arrived on their way, and they haven't rested for a while to regain their breath, let alone have time to set up defenses.
General Hu eagerly drove his soldiers to the gap, and then found that the defenders of Wushi City in front were being driven back by the Han army like pigs and sheep, and fled back in a swarm.
The Jingyang reinforcements, which didn't even have a formation, were scattered by their defeated troops.
General Hu was stunned. He never imagined that the soldiers of Wuzhi City were so vulnerable.
"We can't hold on any longer. This Shu bandit leader is very cunning. He chose this moment to break the city. General, run away!"
The guard general of Wuzhi City appeared out of nowhere, grabbed General Hu with a pale face, and urged him.
General Hu looked at the Wushi City defender blankly and asked blankly: "How is your mother?"
"Very nice..."
Then the two of them just stared at each other, and a sense of confusion and embarrassment spread between them: What are you thinking about?
"General, please retreat quickly, we can't defend this place!"
The personal guards cleverly broke the gap between the two of them, and immediately protected them and rushed away from the insurgents, retreating to the rear together.
As soon as the handsome flag retreated, the army was defeated like a mountain.
The Han army only encountered a small amount of symbolic resistance at the gap in the city wall, and then there was no obstruction all the way.
I have to say that the timing chosen by Guan Ji was really wonderful.
Just like two people fighting, take advantage of the point where the other party's old strength has just been exhausted and new strength has not yet been generated, and gently tap on the opponent's vitals.
Without much effort, the opponent fell down suddenly.
Modao Camp was not put to use, which made Zhang Yi a little regretful.
General Hu of Jingyang City entered the city before dawn, hoping to wait for an opportunity to defeat the Shu captives.
Tian Tian was driven out of the city by the Shu captives just after dawn, without even having a bite of hot food.
He was rushed out of the city by his guards in a daze, and subconsciously looked back: Why am I... why are all my troops gone?
"Quick, quick, quick! Help the general mount his horse quickly. Before the Shu captives encircle us, we can go back to Jingyang directly along the Jingshui River!"
The guard captain said urgently.
After the Shu captives broke through the city, they must first pacify the city, and they may not notice that the general has withdrawn from the city.
Wushi City is not too far from Jingyang City, and the road along the Jingshui River is very easy to walk. As long as you ride a horse, you can return to Jingyang City very quickly.
"What if we go back? Jingyang is already an empty city..."
General Hu's eyes were dull and he muttered to himself.
Seeing that his general was unconscious, the captain of the personal guard did not care about being rude. He immediately ordered everyone to help the general onto his horse and fled south in panic.
Fortunately, the north and east of Anding County are bordered by wild lands, so there is no shortage of horses, and their group even carefully selected good horses to use as mounts.
Without sacrificing horsepower, he ran pretty fast.
Don't say that General Hu didn't know why he left all the soldiers in Jingyang City in Wushi City.
Even Guan Ji was caught off guard by the success of breaking the city.
After learning that the Wei army on the opposite side was about to collapse, Guan Ji's expression changed slightly:
"Someone's coming!"
"General!"
"Quickly take my order and pass it to General Yang, and ask him to drive the defeated troops to Jingyang City, and then go to the city with the flags and drums of Cao Cao's thieves to persuade them to surrender!"
"promise!"
She felt a little regretful in her heart. If she had known that Cao's thieves were so inexperienced, she should not have planned the strategy of driving the defeated troops into Jingyang City.
Thinking of this, she immediately ordered: "Have General Zhang and General Ju come over immediately."
The sporadic fighting in the city has come to an end. Zhang Yi and Jufu returned to the commander's camp happily:
"General, our army's losses in this battle are extremely slight, and most of the Jingyang rebel army has been retained. It can be said to be a great victory!"
Unexpectedly, Guan Ji looked serious: "Have you ever caught the thief?"
"General, I haven't caught him yet. I heard that just after the city was broken, the flag of the bandit army withdrew, and later disappeared. I heard that the bandit general had already fled southward earlier."
"Then hurry up and chase!"
Guan Ji said in a stern voice, "I have asked General Yang to lead the cavalry to set off first."
"You two, immediately organize your army to follow him and rush to Jingyang. You must not let the thief general have the opportunity to regroup and retreat in Jingyang!"
"Remember, Jingyang City must be captured immediately, so that it can intimidate Anding County's governor, Linjing City, and support the princes!"
Zhang Yi and Gou Fu were both shocked and clasped their fists together: "The last general takes orders!"
Modao Camp and Wudang Camp had rested for several days, and since they didn't use much effort during the siege, their status was always at full strength.
A shrill whistle sounded, followed by a loud summons, which made many soldiers think that the Cao thieves were counterattacking again.
"Gather urgently, bring three days of dry food and set off for Jingyang immediately!"
"Let's go to Jingyang!"
The exact same military order was repeated repeatedly and reached the ears of the Han soldiers in Modao Camp and Wudang Camp.
The strict training on weekdays was well reflected at this time, and the soldiers of the two battalions were quickly assembled.
"Set off!"
Guan Ji drew her sword and shouted loudly, and led the Han army to rush along the Jingshui River in the direction of Jingyang.
Only the engineering battalion and some logistics were left to clean up the mess in Wuzhi City.
