Chapter 684: Siege

Zhou Cang was intercepted by Zhang Hu for a while, and after more than an hour, he led the army to come, and before entering Qingshuikou, he had already prepared for a big battle, and the preparation was to fight with Chen Sheng of Qingshuikou before and after, and move the enemy in one fell swoop.

But when he entered the mouth of Qingshui, he didn't see the enemy, there were scattered corpses on the ground, and there were no traces of too fierce fighting.

He reined in his horse and stared ahead.

At this time, Chen Sheng's soldiers and horses slowly came up from the east side, numbering about two thousand, and were arrayed.

Chen Sheng also saw Zhou Cang's soldiers and horses, and came alone on horseback, and bowed his hand: "Jing Wusi Nanyang Banner Envoy Chen Sheng, meet Zhou Cang Zhonglang General!" ”

"Chen Sheng, what about Wen Ping and Zhang Hu?"

Zhou Cang asked in a deep voice.

"It's over!"

Chen Sheng replied.

"Passed?" Zhou Cang's face sank, and his voice was a little cold: "Kill the past?" I don't think you're doing any damage, I'm afraid not! ”

"So-and-so let them go!"

Chen Sheng replied truthfully.

"Why?"

There was a hint of murderous intent in Zhou Cang's eyes.

"A certain and Zhang Hu, it is a friend of life and death, in the past in Jiangxia for the coward, Zhang Hu has saved me many times in fire and water, he forced me to die, I can't do it, so get out of the way!" Chen Sheng analyzed softly.

"You voted for my Minghou Mansion, but the enemy fled, ruining my battle situation, and I can't spare you!"

When Zhou Cang heard this, he was immediately furious, and he threw it directly with a whip.

Syllable!

Chen Sheng stiffly received a whip before he said: "If there is a mistake, I am willing to accept the guilt!" ”

"You don't dare to kill you!" Zhou Cang chased and killed Wen Ping, but was intercepted by Zhang Hu, and he knew in his heart that he had destroyed the deployment of the headquarters, and he wanted to make up for it, but he didn't want Chen Sheng to let them go, so he was already holding back the fire in his belly, and he was even more angry with Chen Sheng.

"Stop!"

Huang Zhong flew over, threw out the horsewhip, and stopped Zhou Cang.

His gaze swept over, as sharp as a blade, so that everyone present did not dare to look him directly into the eyes.

"What's going on?" Half-ringing, he asked coldly.

"General Hansheng, he let Wen Ping and Zhang Hu go!"

Zhou Cang said coldly.

"Chen Sheng, is there such a thing?" Huang Zhong asked.

"It's a mistake!"

Chen Sheng was willing to be punished, and he also knew that since he surrendered to the pastoral army and accepted the position of Jingwusi, he should not be double-faced, but for Zhang Hu, he really couldn't do it.

"This matter is put on hold for now!"

Huang Zhong understood the details before and after, took a deep breath, Chen Sheng should be punished for the crime, but the situation is righteous, and the people of Jingwusi should not be punished by him, Jingwusi has Jingwusi's family law.

He said to Zhou Cang: "Zhou Cang, you immediately led the army to meet Zhang Liao, I just got the news that Zhang Liao's attack on Fancheng was unfavorable, and he was blocked by Pang Ji under the moat!" ”

"The last general commands!"

Zhou Cang received the order and led the army away.

"Chen Sheng, this Jiangxia soldier, do you have any arrangements?" Huang Zhong asked Chen Sheng at this time, Chen Sheng was from Jingwu Division, and he should not command the troops, but the two thousand Jiangxia soldiers surrendered with him, and this still needs his consent to be rectified.

"Let the general dispose of it!"

Chen Sheng arched his hand and said.

"The battle is not over yet, for the time being, you are still in charge, but I will tell you first, you may not know the rules of the Minghou Mansion, since you belong to the Jingwu Division, you have no power to lead the troops, this military power, you still have to call out!"

"I know!" If Chen Sheng hadn't known about the Minghou Mansion, how could he dare to surrender, and work so hard for the Minghou Mansion.

"You have merit in this battle, but when it is critical, you let them pass, this is a pass, this matter is in my heart, I don't blame you, but the rules are the rules, I'm afraid you will suffer a little bit next!"

Huang Zhong came up, patted Chen Sheng on the shoulder, and said, "If Jing Wusi can't tolerate you, come to me!" ”

After speaking, Huang Zhong took the main force and went to Fancheng.

Chen Sheng looked at Huang Zhong's back, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, with this sentence, even if at this time, he couldn't stand in the Jingwu Division, he had at least one person to be optimistic, Huang Zhong was the first fierce general under the command of Ming Hou.

"Sima, what should we do now?"

Several military marquis from Jiangxia's camp came up and asked.

"Straighten out your soldiers!"

Chen Sheng said to a few henchmen under his command: "The next step must be to besiege Fancheng, when we can be used, they will naturally order, you will vote for Minghou with me, and fight for a fortune, but today we hired Zhang Huwen to let go, I'm afraid there are some twists and turns!" ”

"Twists and turns, as long as there is hope!"

"It's better than being spurned when you were in Xiangyang!"

"Captain Zhang Hu is also our brother, so you can't fight with those old brothers!"

Several military marquis have been thieves for many years, and they have gone through countless lives and deaths, and they are very interested in Chen Sheng himself, and some things can be seen.

………………

……

Night quickly descended on Fancheng.

Outside Fancheng, the camps are continuous, and the fire is soaring.

The main force of the herdsman army has all arrived outside the city, the Violent Bear Army, the Jingping Second Army, each set up camps, from the river to the main roads of the city gates, surrounded the city inside and out, as long as the dawn comes, I am afraid that the city will be attacked immediately.

The main battalion of the Chinese army.

In the big tent, the lights were bright.

Huang Zhong is in the first place, the generals of the Second Army of Jingping sit on the left, and the generals of the Violent Bear Army sit on the right.

"Zhou Cang, do you know what's wrong?"

Huang Zhong was the first to blame Zhou Cang.

"The last general is guilty!" Zhou Cang didn't have any luck, he knew that he was too eager to fight this battle, he was anxious to prove the combat effectiveness of the Violent Bear Army, but the combat effectiveness of the Violent Bear Army was brought into play, but the strategy went wrong, resulting in the inability to succeed in the first battle, and in the end he still had to besiege the city, which was wrong.

"Attack without authorization, do not respect the military order, the crime should be beheaded, read that it is now the time of war, let you go for the time being, when the war is over, it is unlucky, allow you a chance to make meritorious service with a crime, but the death penalty can be escaped, the living crime is difficult to escape, the first army fights twenty, you are lucky if you can't die, tomorrow morning, you personally lead the violent bear to attack, storm Fancheng, if you can break the city in the vanguard, let you be innocent!"

Huang Zhong didn't want to be too careful, after all, the changes in wartime can't be said well, if you suppress the military orders of these main generals who obey the command in everything, then it will be equivalent to trapping their abilities, which is not conducive to future development, but the rules are the rules, and they must be made clear and clear.

"Command!"

Zhou Cang took off his armor and confessed his guilt.

Twenty military battles, unless Huang Zhong personally took action, no one would be able to kill him, a general.

"General Zhou Zhonglang, offended!"

The military police on the left and right have gone out to take Zhou Cang out to fight.

Chen Sheng observed the meeting as the flag envoy of Jingwu Division Jingzhou, and was still frightened a lot by this scene, which made him feel a trace of coolness completely.

"The last general will attack Fancheng is not good, and he will also be guilty!"

Zhang Liao also hurriedly came out to plead guilty.

"What the hell is going on?"

Xi Zhicai asked softly: "Fancheng is empty, how can it not be attacked!" ”

"The last general is underestimated!"

Zhang Liao smiled bitterly: "I thought it would be easy to capture it, but I didn't expect Pang Ji to organize Qingzhuang in the city, guard the mouth of the moat, and block our warships. ”

"Ponji?"

Xi Zhicai gasped: "I still underestimate this old guy!" ”

"It's okay!"

Huang Zhong squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The Jingzhou army has been defeated, thousands of enemies have been killed by us on the battlefield, Wen Ping's courage has been lost, and the Jiangxia camp is even more than half of us, the army's morale is low, at most it is just a little more effort, this Fancheng, I am taking Ding."

………………

……

In the middle of Fancheng, it was shrouded in darkness.

Under the defeat, the army's morale was shattered.

If it weren't for Pang Ji's preparation in advance, he gathered more than a thousand young men in this city to defend Fancheng, and he was not defeated by Zhang Liao's surprise attack, I'm afraid that Fancheng would have changed hands at this time.

But even if he accepted Wen Ping and Zhang Hu to return to the city, the army was in turmoil and the troops were weak, and it was difficult to hold this Fancheng.

"Ji Gong, is it really impossible to hold on?"

In the hall of the county office, Wen Ping looked unwilling and looked at Pang Ji who was sitting on the soft collapse.

"General Wen, this battle has been defeated again and again, there will be no fighting spirit, the soldiers have no will to fight, although this Fan City is strong, but outside the city can be attacked along the land and water, our troops and morale, how to hold it!" Pang Ji shook his head.

"It's all my fault!"

Wen Ping blamed himself: "If it weren't for my greed to go out of the city to pursue and stick to Fancheng, how could they take advantage of it!" ”

"It's just a mental calculation or an unintentional calculation, and the general doesn't need to blame himself!"

Pang Ji said softly: "This battle has been lost, it is useless to say more, Fancheng cannot be saved, with the momentum of the herdsmen outside the city, I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for reinforcements, there is no need to do unnecessary casualties, General Wen, you will withdraw your troops at dawn!" ”

"Withdrawing troops?"

Wen Ping's face was ugly: "The herdsmen have warships and horses, and with the city, they can still fight, if they withdraw their troops, I am afraid that they will chase them and wipe out the whole army!" ”

"The old man will break it for you!"

Pang Ji said: "As long as you leave the rest of your sons in Jingzhou!" ”

"How can I let Ji Gong judge?"

Wen Ping panicked, he has always respected scholars, and he was also taught by Ji Gong when he was young, he has always been like a master and a father to Ji Gong, even if he has a very good relationship with Chen Sheng, Ji Gong's reputation is definitely trustworthy, and he will never betray him.

"This defeat is because of Chen Sheng, Chen Sheng is the responsibility of the old man, and it should be borne by the old man!"

Pang Ji bowed his hand to Wen Ping, and said softly: "General Wen, although this defeat is defeated, it does not damage Jingzhou much, Zhang Hu is a fierce general, and if he uses it well, he will be able to be the general's right-hand man in the future, and please don't think about Chen Sheng's disaster, far away from his heart!" ”

"Ji Gong?"

Wen Ping frowned.
