Chapter 76: Disadvantageous?

After leaving Xingyang, Wang Bu was not hungry and saw the grain transport team sent by Zhang Liang not far outside Xingyang City.

After receiving the grain, Wang Bu was not hungry and led the army to turn around and go south.

The follow-up baggage matters will be in charge of Wang Cheng, and in this war, Wang Cheng only needs to be responsible for the transportation of grain on Wang Buxing's side.

The infant irrigation side belongs to the deep behind the enemy, and a lot of grain was taken away at the beginning, plus the planned attack on the county seat along the way, there is a certain amount of grain stockpiled, and the attack on the county town is to replenish weapons and equipment, and the second is to replenish grain and grass, and make final preparations for taking Hangu Pass.

And Wang Buxing's first target was Jingxian County, which was not far from Xingyang.

The two counties are very close to each other, only a few dozen miles away, and this ancient city once had a glorious history.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, it was the city of Zheng State, and the Duke of Zheng Wu moved the capital here.

This place Wang Bu Hungry has been there in the later generations, just on the southeast side of Xingyang today, you can see the ancient bricks, many and exquisite, most of them are hollow, and there are some patterns carved on them.

If these monuments are too small, what about the city walls?

Wang Buxing really saw the ancient city wall of Jingxian County more than 2,000 years later, and he could clearly see the layering of rammed earth.

There is another rumor here that when the city was built, it took a lot of manpower to build it, so a lot of labor died.

Due to the tight construction period, the dead could only be buried nearby, so a rumor of a ghost beating the city was left among the people.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with the present.

The scale of Jingxian County is not large, three and a half miles long from north to south, three miles wide from east to west, there are only more than 1,000 residents in the city, and the population of the county is only more than 3,000 people.

In this place in the Central Plains, this population is really a little unreachable.

There is no special significance in attacking Jingxian, it is purely to show that everywhere I pass is my land!

In addition to attacking Zhang Han's army, another important purpose of Wang Buxing's trip to the south was to take the counties along the way and expand his power.

If you want to develop in the future, it is far from enough to rely on just one Xingyang.

"Childe, the scouts report back, the defenders of Jingxian County are less than 100 people, their weapons are broken, and they have no will to fight!" Chen Tieshan hurriedly told Wang Bu Hungry about the latest situation.

"Well, send a battalion and give a hundred guerrilla generals to collect!" Wang Bu was hungry and said casually.

Jingxian just has a certain reputation in history, but in reality, his strength is really weak and weak.

The king is not hungry to send a battalion of 500 people, and the guerrillas who add 100 will be considered worthy of them.

You must know that a few months ago, Wu Guang sent a hundred people over, and Jingxian surrendered directly.

The further east you go, the weaker the local will to fight becomes.

Even the Guanzhong area is not much better.

Zhou Wen led a large army to break into Guanzhong, and the people along the way responded to join, which is a good example.

The Qin Dynasty not only failed to win the hearts of the people of the Six Kingdoms, but even the hearts of the people of Qin gradually lost.

It was precisely because of this that the princes of Tianxia took a fancy to this, so after Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, they unveiled the uprising one after another.

In the face of the proud, complacent, and already divided Chen Sheng, Zhang Han was able to fight smoothly, but when he met other princes, when people became serious, Zhang Han was a little insufficient.

The five hundred lords who had gone to attack Jingxian arrived with their troops, and they were about to enter the offensive process.

The county magistrate of Jing County walked out of the city with a group of officials and people, and respectfully handed over the seal of the county order and the household registration book of Jing County.

Well, surrendered!

What are you doing if you don't surrender?

Half a year ago, they belonged to Great Qin, and when Wu's vast army came, they had no strength to fight at all, so they could only surrender.

Who knew that Wu Guang's army was completely annihilated, and Chen Sheng's subordinates set themselves up as kings, resulting in Chen Sheng, although he still occupied a large place in name, in fact, he could only control Chen County.

Elsewhere he wanted to take care of it, but the problem was that there was no one and no energy.

Especially in a small place like Jingxian, although it is a county, the population is only more than 3,000 people, and the poor jingle rings can't even afford to eat, Chen Sheng didn't plan to ask them anyway.

But a place like Jingxian is a place that no one cares about.

Because he's too small.

In contrast, Wang Buxing focused all his attention on Mi County.

Mi County is another big county after Wang Bu Hungry left Xingyang, and according to legend, Mi County is the hometown of Fuxi Nuwa, at the beginning of the Five Emperors, it was the capital of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan Hill, and later it was the capital of the Yi State, until later Zheng Guo destroyed the Yi State and the Mi State, and then moved the capital here, during the Warring States Seven Heroes, it belonged to South Korea.

And the reason why it is loved by many princes is because of its unique geographical environment, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The county seat is located on the edge of the mountains, which is difficult for the southern army to enter, and there is a large mountain in the north, on which a post is placed, and when the weather is good, the movement of the army can be seen dozens of miles away.

Although the amount of cultivated land in Mi County is not as good as that of Xingyang, the population is almost the same as that of Xingyang.

Because of the surrounding mountains, busy farming, leisure time hunting, so the living conditions here will be slightly better.

Far away, Wang Bu was not hungry and saw the symbolic mountain of Mi County, which was black.

He could see the mountains, and the sentinels on the mountains could see him.

At night, the troops set up camp.

The tired scout was late, and he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water before he spoke directly: "Childe, Mi County is well guarded, there are many troops, and the big eyes are swept away, there are at least 5,000 people, and Zhou Fu, the county commander of Mi County, ordered the surrounding people, old and young, women and children, to enter the mountain, and the young and strong all entered the county seat. ”

"The strong wall is clear, and the city is defended?" Wang Buyu frowned slightly.

This battle is a bit difficult, if he really starts the fight, he will definitely be able to defeat Mi County, but there will be too many delays in time.

And if you count the time, at most three days, Zhang Han's army will almost arrive in Xingyang.

He had to take Mi County within two days, and then wave his troops north, take Gong County, and directly cut off the back road of Zhang Han's army.

In order to completely cut off the back road of Zhang Han's army, Wang Buxing did not just set up a line of defense.

Cut off Gong County, this is the first one, if Han Wangxin is reliable enough, he should do something near Luoyang, even if he can't take it, at least he can contain the energy of the defenders of Luoyang and make them unable to support to the east.

Even to attract the defenders of Hangu Pass, at the same time, the baby rush Hangu Pass, if you can take Hangu Pass, Zhang Han's grain road will be completely cut off, and it is still the kind that can no longer be cold.

In order to alleviate the pressure on Xingyang's side, he had to take Gongxian within three days of Zhang Han's attack on Xingyang, so as to achieve the goal of disturbing Zhang Han's army.

However, the information sent back from Mi County was not optimistic, and the young man entered the city, undoubtedly intending to defend it.

Even an inexperienced peasant defending a city is an extremely headache for the attacking side.

Looking at the continuous mountains, although not particularly high, it is still a headache, the geographical location is not advantageous, and now the opposite side is so tightly defended.

The siege battle, which has been the most difficult battle since ancient times, has once again added some difficulty.

Fast, it must be fast, it can only be spent here for two days at most, but if you fail to take Mi County, it is equivalent to leaving a trace of hidden danger in your rear.

"Huh? Pregnant! ”
