Xuande asked the people of Xinye and Xiangyang Fancheng to retreat. He did not blame Bailangshou for being too ruthless and killed most of the Jingzhou scholars in one breath, and even killed Liu Biao's youngest son Liu Cong. When Xuande evacuated the people, he asked Zhao Zilong
And Guan Yunchang escorted Cao Jun, while Bai Lang took the initiative to ask Ying to raid Cao Jun. Bai Lang and Zhang Fei took turns to raid, each led their own elite cavalry to attack Cao Jun, delaying Cao Jun's arrival in Xiangyang.
Of course, Cao Cao's army was not allowed to divide its troops to attack the retreating people in the rear. Cao Cao's 500,000-strong army faced Xiangyang Fancheng and fell into the dilemma of attacking the city. Xiangyangfancheng was a corner of each other, with the Han River as a moat. If it weren't for Liu Cong's dedication to the city, Cao Cao would not have been able to attack the city.
There is no possibility of attacking Xiangyang. Now they have been beaten out by Bailang in a surprise attack... If Cao Cao occupied Fancheng in Xiangyang, it would be dangerous to go down the river to Jiangdong, not to mention Xuande.
Although the garrison in Fancheng in Xiangyang is now only 40,000, Guan Yu has quite a lot of naval forces, while Cao Cao has no naval forces. At this time, Bai Lang said, "Don't send a single division to enter Sili, go straight to Chang'an." The implication is this.
Bailang is willing not to lead an army to attack Chang'an. When the time comes, he will take Chang'an and go to Hanzhong, while Xuande will go to Sichuan by water, and the world will be divided into three parts.
However, the primary goal is to not lose Xiangyang. Only by not losing Xiangyang and repelling Cao Cao can we maintain the foundation of Jingzhou. Cao Cao also knows this, so he is trying to build a navy. The Jingzhou navy has been in decline since Bailang killed the Cai family.
After being recruited into Guan Yu's command and led by Guan Er, a half-assed naval commander, Bailang thought it would be better to find someone from Jingzhou who could fight water battles to take charge.
But isn’t this because Jingzhou has no trustworthy people at the moment...
Kong Ming is the best military advisor in the world, and it would be useless if you let him command the water battle. However, he agreed with Bai Lang's proposal to send an army to the Han River and enter Chang'an in Shangyong to shake Cao Cao and merge the state with Yanzhou. "If
To do this, only Bai Yuzhu can be used." Bai Lang can take several civil affairs talents, such as the remaining scholars in Jingzhou, with him, which will also make it easier for Liu Xuande to win over the hearts of Jingzhou again.
Bailang was awarded one thousand cavalry, and three thousand infantry, led by Wen Yi, and more than ten scholars from Jingzhou as staff. Bailang secretly led his army to leave Xiangyang, and traveled hundreds of miles a day and night along the Han River, escaping the possibility of Cao's army.
Peeping. Bai Lang led his army across Shangyong and directly entered the Sili Department. In front of him was the checkpoint where Cao Jun was stationed. Bai Lang ordered his soldiers to sneak around and selected 500 warriors to arrive at the pass under the cover of night. He suddenly flew into the air with a roar.
Claws climb to siege the city.
Bailang rotated his arms and tiptoed, and climbed up to the top of the city in the blink of an eye. At this time, Sergeant Cao was still shocked by his roar and had no time to react. After Bailang climbed up, he directly pulled out his ring knife and slashed fiercely.
He was killing the soldiers on the top of the city and kept rushing down to open the gate. There was a barbican here, so after Bailang captured one city gate, he had to storm the second one. This time, he couldn't make a sneak attack.
After a fierce battle all night, even with Bai Lang's steel, iron bones, copper heads and arms, he was inevitably injured, but he finally captured the pass and allowed his army to enter. After two days of rest, Bai Lang rushed forward like a spark, killing people along the way.
Cao Jun's cavalry, who was inquiring about the news, arrived at Chang'an City in seven days. "Chang'an..." Bai Lang sighed. Although Chang'an had been repaired at this time, it could not be called a great city.
There are many gaps in the city wall, and there don't seem to be many residents in the city. However, there are hundreds of thousands of Cao's troops here, and several generals such as Xia Houyuan are stationed here. Bailang is approaching the city, and he doesn't bother to call the formation to build siege weapons. At this time, Bailang is
At the time when the world was at its peak, it also roared loudly and turned into a giant tiger, smashing the city gate of Chang'an with one head, and the Wengcheng behind it was also destroyed in half. Such a power could not be matched by the world, so Xiahou Yuan had no choice but to lead his generals to besiege Bailang.
Bai Lang turned around and took over the siege of the generals. He stabbed one person and fell off his horse in just a few rounds. After fighting for less than twenty rounds, Xia Houyuan's strength was scattered and it was difficult to fight anymore. Bai Lang slowed down and Xia Hou Yuan led the others to retreat. This retreat
Even though a hundred thousand troops moved together, they withdrew from Chang'an City. Bailang only brought 300 of his own guards to pursue him, and directly forced Xiahou Yuan out of Tongguan. Bailang then handed over all civil and military affairs to those who came with him.
Civil servants and military generals themselves were waiting for the troops that followed to send their families.
After stabilizing the defense of Chang'an City, Bailang saw that his family had not arrived yet and had not received any news from Xiangyang City. He immediately led 300 cavalry out of the city and began to sweep away the Sili Department, trying to expel Cao's army and open up the road to Hanzhong, at least from the Sili Department in the future.
The road to capture Zhang Lu in Hanzhong was still going. As expected, Bailang, who claimed that his 30,000 cavalrymen were invincible in battle and his 300 cavalrymen were invincible. In front of him, Cao's army occupied several cities in Sili, but Bailang defeated them all.
Some people have long said that Bai Lang is the brave overlord, but now everyone in the world agrees with it. However, the overlord can command a hundred thousand soldiers and horses to roam the world, so Bai Lang can only command a thousand cavalry. Cao Jun cannot defend the city, and Bai Lang gallops back and forth.
, the morale of Cao's army was depleted, and after occupying Chang'an, Xuande's reinforcements continued to try to attack the city. In the end, Cao's army had to withdraw from the headquarters and defend the pass to retain the hope of a comeback in the future.
After Bailang captured Chang'an, it greatly disrupted Cao Cao's steps. Liu Bei then sent less than 3,000 reinforcements to Bailang one after another, but he also sent many old guards who followed Liu Xuande and some scribes, so that
They established order in Guanzhong and recruited soldiers, and promoted Bailang to be the Sili Lieutenant. Gao Shun was also sent to Chang'an to lead two armies with Wen Li. However, within ten days, Xuande's army in Guanzhong expanded to more than 10,000 people.
After handing over the government and military affairs, Bailang's only concern was to attack Cao's army in the direction of Xiangyang. Cao Cao was already unsustainable. There were indeed more than 500,000 people, but without the navy, they were useless. It was impossible to capture Xiangyang and Fancheng.
However, Bailang and Sili were determined to move forward, and it was also dangerous for Xiahou Yuan's hundred thousand troops to be expelled from Guanzhong. "A hundred thousand people were unable to counterattack? The courage of Yuzhu is indeed comparable to that of an overlord." Cao Cao also sighed.
Now it is useless. It seems that there is no chance here in Jingzhou. The only way is to take advantage of the geographical advantage and slowly plan for it. Now it is time to reorganize the troops and horses after returning to Xuchang and enter the pass to recapture the Sili Department. Otherwise, when we go south to capture Jingzhou
It would be difficult for Liu Bei's army from Sili to go east to attack Bingzhou and Yanzhou. Therefore, Liu Bei's army must be restricted to one direction. Although Bailang from Sili has fewer troops, he has offensive capabilities, while Liu Xuande from Jingzhou has more troops.
But it should be difficult to fight northward for a period of time.
Competing with Cao Cao in Jingxiang is not the strategic plan Kong Ming made for Liu Xuande before. Now that he has taken over the Sili Department, the entire strategy will have to be redone. But no matter what, relying on most of Jingzhou and the ruined Guanzhong is
It is difficult to fight against Cao Cao who has four states. "So Kong Ming will probably go to Shu to capture Hanzhong as the rear..." Bai Lang said.
