The autumn of this year passed quickly, and there seemed to be no feeling at all, and the slightest coldness was revealed, but I found that the cold winter had come to the world.

A light snow covered Fancheng.

Fancheng has been reduced to a battlefield.

Since three days ago, the strongholds of the Jingzhou army camped outside Fancheng were uprooted by the wind and thunder, and the entire Fancheng was quickly put on guard.

Outside the city, the herdsmen were encamped.

Zhou Cang led the Violent Bear Camp and the Bow and Crossbow Battalion, found a place with a water source, and set up camp.

The raid has begun.

And the results achieved are good.

More than 3,000 enemies were annihilated, and all the Jingzhou military camps on the periphery of Fancheng were pulled out.

At least 10,000 Jingzhou troops were stationed in the city.

It was bound to be a bloody battle.

Therefore, after Zhou Cang occupied the outskirts of Fancheng, he quickly began to set up camp, so as to maintain the long-standing war.

For three consecutive days, Zhou Cang can be regarded as having established a large camp.

The large camp is located on the outskirts of the plain, with the hillside at its back, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

After the camp was established, Zhou Cang began to focus on Fan Cheng: "Who will be the Lord of Fan City?" ”

"Wen Ping, Wen Zhongye!"

A Jingwu Division General Banner came out and said in detail: "Deng Long led the army north to attack Xinye, originally the defender of Fancheng was just a deputy general of Deng Long, but I didn't expect Wen Ping to be in the city, this is our news did not inquire carefully!" ”

"This Wenpin should not be underestimated, he is the first fierce general under Liu Biao, invincible in the three armies, capable of literature and martial arts, not only extraordinary martial arts, but also in terms of strategy, but also makes the generals of Jingzhou happy and convinced, and now he is Sima of Jingzhou!"

"No wonder Fan Cheng was able to form a defense so quickly!"

Zhou Cang sneered: "This Wen Zhongye, I want to meet for a while!" ”

"No, it's not good!"

Hou Cong said softly: "General Zhonglang, now that our main force has not arrived, we still need to be cautious, I am afraid that the troops in the city are still above us, and a rash attack can only reduce our troops!" ”

He is the military Sima of Jingping's Second Army, and he must be half a level lower than Zhoucang, but he is still qualified to admonish, and now it is the joint attack of Jingping's Second Army and the Violent Bear Army, and all the warships are the warships of the Second Army, so he must stand up and speak.

"I know!"

Zhou Cang is not an impatient person, when he was a bandit in Nanyang, he would judge the situation, and now he will naturally not attack recklessly, but the lord has an order, and the violent bear is the vanguard, and he must prove the combat effectiveness of the violent bear army.

"The main force has not arrived, so I naturally will not attack Fancheng, but I can try to lure them out and fight in the suburbs!"

Zhou Cang said: "Hou Sima rest assured, it is inviolable, I will not be reluctant!" ”

"Okay!"

Hou Cong is not the main general after all, Zhou Cang has the final say on the front line, as long as Zhou Cang is not too much and does not attack hard, he is not willing to disobey Zhou Cang's orders.

"Pei Yuanshao!"

"In!"

Captain Pei Yuanshao of the Violent Bear took a step forward and stood by.

"You led the army to attack the city gate in the evening, just a feint and provocation, not a strong attack, and lure the enemy to attack as much as possible!"

"No!"

Pei Yuanshao gave up his hand to take the order.

He was originally the deputy general of Zhou Cang, and with Zhou Cang's single order of the army, the tide rose, and now he is the chief general of the Violent Bear Battalion, leading the Violent Bear 3,000 soldiers, and it is the most powerful battalion in the Violent Bear Army.

Pei Yuanshao led the violent bear battalion to feint attack Fancheng, but stopped in front of the moat, although he tried his best to provoke, but failed to cause a reaction in the city, and the city was always stubborn, which made Zhou Cang helpless.

"So calm?"

Zhou Cang looked at the towering city wall, a little helpless.

"General Zhonglang, this city is not attackable!" Hou Cong stood beside Zhou Cang and said softly: "Two feints, the city has shown ample pre-battle preparations, if we attack, we will lose more than we gain!" ”

"Where's the waterway?"

"The waterway can go around Fancheng, but you can't enter Fancheng!"

"Then we can only wait for Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao to come!"

Zhou Cang can only wait for the main force to come.

……

City.

Wen Ping knelt on top of the throne, and the officials and generals below were a little trembling under the squeeze of his gloomy breath.

"Can anyone tell me why the shepherd army attacked our Fancheng?"

Wen Ping was puzzled.

If he hadn't been ordered to go north to support Deng Long's attack on Xinye, he would probably still be in Xiangyang, and he would not have found the herdsmen attacking Fancheng in time.

"General Wen, we don't know!"

Several lieutenants said with a wry smile.

"You're next to Shandu, but you're not on guard at all?" Wen Ping said coldly.

"General Wen, we and the Mu Army have always been in a state of cooperation, in the Battle of Xinye, we have joined forces many times, and gradually relaxed our vigilance, I didn't expect the Mu Army to be so cunning, and actually raided my Fancheng at this time!"

Captain Wang Wei said softly.

They are not Deng Long's generals, Deng Long's main force is in Xinye, and the town in Fancheng is actually part of Wenpin's troops, and Wenpin's main force is around Xiangyang, but Deng Long led the army north to attack Nanyang, so he divided part of his troops and put it in Fancheng.

It was originally used to defend against the shepherds.

It's a good shot.

"How are our casualties outside?"

"More than 3,000 soldiers!" Wang Wei said bitterly: "They are too fast, so fast that we can't reflect it, they should have gathered in Shandu very early, but our troops in Yin County did not react at all, first the company camp water village was pulled out, and then the left and right camps in the suburbs were raided, and there was no time to rescue!" ”

"How many troops do they have?"

Wen Ping took a deep breath and asked.

"About 10,000 people, not even enough!" Wang Wei said: "The scouts have already gone to inquire about the news, they have built a camp in the suburbs, ten people have a stove, about seven hundred stoves, and not far behind them, there is another one, two or three thousand subordinates, so it adds up, it is enough for another 10,000 soldiers!" ”

"Just 10,000 soldiers, come to attack our Fancheng, they are looking for death, general, let's counterattack!" A lieutenant said angrily.

"Yes, counterattack!"

"Go out of the city and fight, kill them without leaving a piece of armor!"

The generals were furious.

"Give me all calm!"

Wen Ping said coldly: "Do you think this is the main force of the pastoral army?" ”

"This?"

The generals immediately looked at each other.

"This time, the pastoral army raided my Fancheng, there must be a huge conspiracy, we can't act rashly, now pass on my two military orders, first, send the news of Fancheng back to Xiangyang immediately, and second, immediately send an order to Deng Long in the north, let them give up attacking Xinye and return to Nanjun!"

Wen Ping said in a deep voice.

"No!"

Wang Wei personally received the order, and then went to arrange it.

"From today onwards, you are not allowed to open the city to face the battle, you are only allowed to defend Fancheng, and all departments will stick to the walls of each department!"

Wen Ping slowly stood up: "The weight of Fancheng, you are all equal, a certain is the same as you, Fancheng is here, we are here, Fancheng is broken, we are dead, as long as we still have a breath, I will not allow Fancheng to fall into the hands of the herdsmen!" ”

"Yes!"

The generals' hearts trembled, and they hurriedly received the order solemnly.
