With the order of Mu Jing's army, Huang Shao did not dare to slack off at all, and led the elite of the Yellow Turban Army to advance forcibly, and ordered the two fierce generals under his command, and the soldiers were divided into two roads, continuously breaking the interception of the Hanzhong army left and right, and advancing for 30 miles in one day.

The army advanced and marched to Nanshui Township.

Nanshui Township, the township city also, away from Nanzheng County, but eighteen miles only, the township city is built with the soil slope city, there are 800 households, the population is less than 3,000, after the strong wall of Nanzheng County is clear, this is the place of the garrison.

A total of 5,000 troops of the Hanzhong army were stationed here.

The commander of the army, Yang Ang.

Five thousand soldiers and horses, the majority of the soldiers of Nanzheng County, built a camp around the city wall, stuck to the city wall, and has been building fortifications.

"General, the main force of the herdsman army has arrived in the city, how should we be?"

"Although the city gate is closed, the city wall is not high, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop its soldiers and horses from pushing it!"

"Our troops are inferior, if we fight hard, we will not be wiped out!"

"It's better to return to the county seat and make plans again!"

In the countryside and city, in the barracks of the Chinese army, the generals of various departments all lingered around Yang Ang and suggested one after another.

There were at least 10,000 soldiers and horses outside the city.

They are less than 5,000, and they are still guarding the adobe city wall of Nanshui Township, which is no more than a zhang high, how can they defend Nanshui Township.

"Shut up!"

Yang Ang raised his head suddenly, his cold eyes like copper bells swept over, and Xiao said coldly: "You are a certain general of mine, but they are all believers of the master, but in the face of the enemy's rush, but they are so afraid, it is really embarrassing!" ”

"General, it's not that we're afraid!"

A brave general stood up and said: "It is Nanshui Township City, there is no danger to block at all, the enemy army only needs to attack for a few days, and our whole army will be annihilated here, so unnecessary casualties, we don't need it at all!" “

"Unnecessary casualties?"

Yang Ang said bitterly: "What are unnecessary casualties, on the battlefield, casualties are inevitable, there are no unnecessary casualties at all, we are stationed here, the purpose is to delay the enemy's attack, Master Shijun does not have an order, we can't retreat!" ”

As a disciple of the Heavenly Master Dao who grew up in the Heavenly Master Dao, his beliefs are firm.

Firmly believe in the Tao of the Heavenly Master.

I firmly believe in the Heavenly Master Zhang Lu.

So he knew that he couldn't keep Nanshui Township, but he stuck to this place.

"Needless to say!"

Yang Ang saw what they wanted to say, waved his hand, and said, "Go down immediately and set up defenses!" ”

"No!"

The generals had no choice but to prepare.

……

Outside the city.

Huang Shao rode his horse slowly and approached the city wall of Nanshui Township, stared at the yellow sand-like adobe city wall, and asked, "How many defenders are there in the city?" ”

"About 5,000 soldiers!"

The general replied with great difficulty.

"Five thousand soldiers?"

Huang Shao thought about it, this should be the force that hindered him the most in entering Nanzheng, not enough to let her take it seriously, with the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in his hands, it is not difficult to break through this city, but I am afraid that it will also have to pay a certain number of casualties.

He asked again: "How far is this place from Nanzheng?" “

"About twenty miles!"

"Twenty miles, this distance is already the distance given to us by the lord, in this case, Nanshui Township does not need to rush to fight, immediately pass on my military order, camp on the spot, take a short rest, do not attack, wait for the lord to lead the second army of Jingping to converge, and then make plans!"

Huang Shao said.

It's not that it can't be forcibly advanced, but everything needs to be done step by step, and it is not difficult to pull out the township in front of you, but if you lose too many troops and morale here, it will affect the attack on Nanzheng.

"No!"

Several lieutenants took the order and quickly began to look for a place to set up camp tents, each camp was separated, the left and right sides were separated by less than three miles, and in less than a day, several staggered camps were set up, lingering in the middle of the main camp of the Chinese army.

"General, some scouts have found that there are some traces on the Hanshui River, and it seems that many ships are heading downstream!"

On this day, in the morning, Huang Shao was looking at the drawings to see how he could use the least number of soldiers to break through this Nanshui Township City, push the troops up another ten miles, and the soldiers came to the city, at this time a scout marquis suddenly came to report.

Not far from Nanshui Township is the Hanshui River.

"When did you find out?"

"Last night!"

"Last night?"

"Yes, last night a few scouts wanted to go to the river to wash the horses, but suddenly found the light, so they went to investigate, and found a lot of boats, and to these boats, all the soldiers were transported, in order to startle the snake, we didn't dare to approach, personally reported to the captain, the captain received the news, personally led people to investigate, but before the time arrived, they continued to sail, the captain could only hang by their side from afar, and ordered me to come back to report the news to the general!"

"Can you determine how many ships there are?"

Huang Shao raised his head, looked at this scout marquis, and asked.

"They move very quickly, we don't have any ships, and we don't know very well, but I can be sure of one thing from what I see, if these are all ships with troops on them, there will be at least three thousand soldiers and horses!"

"No less than 3,000 soldiers and horses?"

Huang Shao's eyes flashed a cold light: "Going upstream and down, it is nothing more than coming out of Nanzheng, Nanzheng sent troops, but it went around our back road, it seems that there is an intention!" ”

Leading troops into battle, he may not be very good.

But he was born as a strategist, and he is very good at the psychological analysis of the enemy, and he will think about every news report, and the sudden appearance of large-scale troops in the Hanshui River makes him think about it.

"Tell Huang Chong and let him continue to stare at it himself, staring at death!"

"No!"

The scout marquis took the order and left.

"General, this matter is not simple!" Fei Li arched his hand and said: "Nan Zheng sent troops, not to take our back road, but to march day and night, it should be to hide the traces, under normal circumstances, it is difficult to find, but unfortunately we found out!" ”

"It's a little confusing, keep an eye on it first!"

Huang Shao rubbed the bridge of his nose and said in a deep voice: "By the way, where did the lord lead his troops?" ”

"It's less than ten miles from us, and it's almost in the evening!"

"That's good!"

Huang Shao nodded.

……

Evening.

Mu Jing and Zhang Liao personally led Jingping's Second Army into the Yellow Turban Barracks.

"What's going on on the other side?"

Mu Jing couldn't wait to climb the lookout, looked at the countryside in front of him, and asked.

drove all the way in, but I didn't expect to be blocked here in Nanshui.

This made Mu Jing a little surprised, and also made him a little curious.

"The defenders have about 5,000 soldiers and horses, and they can attack, and in two days at most, they can break through their defenses!" Huang Shao replied: "But a strong attack will pay a price, if you lose too much of the main force, it is not conducive to the later attack on Nanzheng County, I am still looking for an opportunity to see if I can bypass them, and then trap them inside, and catch them off guard!" “

"Is there a chance?"

Hearing this, Mu Jing thought about it and asked.

He never advocated fighting tough battles, and the most basic thing for a leading general is to learn to think, complete the task at the lowest cost, and win a battle, which is the style he proposed.

When Huang Shao thought that he could take this rural city, he could still calm down and think, which was the quality of a general.

"It's hard!"

Huang Shao said with a wry smile: "I have personally surveyed the terrain, they have established a military town here in Nanshui Township to block us, it is not for no reason, Nanshui Township is not strong, but the terrain is unique, if you want to go around from the left and right, at least thirty or forty miles more, the gain outweighs the loss!" ”

"Who is the city guard?" Mu Jing asked.

"Lord, the guard general in the city is Yang Ang, the general under Zhang Lu, among the generals under Zhang Lu, Yang Bai is an all-rounder, Zhang Suo Zhang Wei and others make good use of it, this person is known as a good guard, in the past, he was a county lieutenant in a county town in the northwest of Yizhou, and in the face of the attack of the Qiang people, with one hundred and twenty young and strong, he blocked the sack of the three hundred Qiang people, not only the martial arts are extraordinary, but the strategy is also a very powerful person!"

Tan Zong arched his hand and spoke.

This young man who controls Jing Wusi has been recalled by an edict from Mu Jing before, the purpose is to purge Jing Wusi, after all, in the battle of Nanyang, the soldiers came to the city and there was no news, and Jing Wusi obviously had an internal problem.

However, for the news in Hanzhong, Jing Wusi still went all out to inquire, especially the generals under Zhang Lu, who inquired carefully about each of their deeds, so as to analyze this person's weaknesses.

"Yang Ang?"

Mu Jing squinted, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Is it good to keep?" ”

This Zhang Lu's subordinates are really talented.

Zhang Suo, Zhang Wei, and Yang Bai, although they were all folded in the hands of Mu Jun, Mu Jing did not dare to underestimate any of them, Zhang Suo and Zhang Wei were calculated, but their counterattack also caused the main force of Jingping Army to suffer.

And Yang Bai ......

This person Mu Jing didn't dare to underestimate it.

His own service was almost lost in his hands, how dare he underestimate such a character.

Now there is a Yang Ang who is good at guarding the city.

In history, Zhang Luneng has been in Hanzhong for twenty or thirty years, and he is by no means an ordinary person, and he naturally has a lot of available support in his hands.

"Looks like a hard bone!"

Mu Jing pondered for a while, glanced at Zhang Liao and Li Yan, and suddenly said: "In this case, try them first, tomorrow morning, Zhang Liao, you lead the army lord, you can grasp the proportions, let it play, you can advance or retreat, but I have one condition, I need to see the reaction in the city!" ”

"Understood!"

Zhang Liao knew that what he said in Mujing was so casual, in fact, it was to tell him that it was not important to attack the city of Xiannan Water Township, and it was important to train the second army of Jingping, without going through the battlefield, not into elite soldiers, Jingping Second Army has many veterans, but there are also many new soldiers, and they must be tempered on the battlefield, rather than directly entering the bloodiest war on the battlefield in Nanzheng County, it is better to hone it on a battlefield like Nanshui.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Early in the morning, the drums had already sounded, shaking the inside and out, and the momentum of Jingping's second army in front of the city gate could swallow tigers and wolves, crushing Nanshui Township City.

Mu Jing, Huang Shao and others were watching the battle.

"It's kind of weird!" Mu Jing looked at the city head and said in a low voice.

"Hmm!"

Huang Shao also nodded: "Overnight, there are no soldiers and horses in the city, it can't be a retreat, are they all hiding in the city, do you want to fight with us in the streets of the city?" ”

"When you introduce and fight, you must rely on it!"

Mu Jingdao: "Watch the battle, since it was handed over to Jingping's Second Army, it depends on how they fight!" ”

"Hmm!" Huang Shao nodded.

At this moment, Zhang Liao was also a little strange, he was less than thirty steps away from the city gate, but on the city wall, not a single defender was gone, which made him scratch his head: "Zhengfang!" ”

"General Zhonglang!"

Li Yance came up immediately and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"You lead the main force outside the city to respond, be careful and vigilant, if there is any situation, immediately respond to us, I will lead the fifth battalion to attack it, since there is no one on the city wall to defend the city, then the soldiers and horses must be gathered in the city, even if the sword is on the sea of fire, we have to go in!"

Zhang Liao said in a deep voice.

"Good!"

Li Yan nodded, and cooperated with Zhang Liao, he was already familiar with a lot of Zhang Liao's style of acting, Zhang Liao was good at using soldiers, and he was very persistent in fighting, and if he saw the target, the sword mountain and the sea of fire would be big to death.

I thought it was an offensive and defensive battle, but when Zhang Liao led his troops directly to the city wall, he thought it was an ambush battle, but when they broke into the city, they found out......

Nanshui Township City is empty, this battle has not started at all, Nanshui Township has been occupied by the pastoral army.

Two hours later.

Zhang Liao personally came to report: "My lord, the city has been searched, and there is no trace of any Hanzhong soldiers, and the scouts I sent to investigate along the official road of Nanzheng, only then did there be news, last night, they had withdrawn their troops and returned to Nanzheng!" ”

"Withdrawn?"

Mu Jing was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Nan Zheng began to shrink his forces at this time!" Huang Shao thought further: "It seems that they think that it is impossible to fight us in the field, so gather the main force and fight a defensive battle in Nanzheng!" ”

"Pass my military order, and all armies will enter the city and station!"

Mu Jing thought for a while and ordered: "All the scouts are released, I want to know all the situations within a radius of dozens of miles from Nanzheng!" ”

"No!"

Zhang Liao and Huang Shao received the order.

……

After entering the city, Mu Jing's eyes saw an empty township, the township is not big, the building is very neat, but you can't see half a figure, Zhang Lu's strong wall Qingye this time is really clear, not to mention a grain of rice, even the well is directly blocked, not even a mouthful of water is left.

"Zhang Lu is shrewd!" Mu Jing couldn't help but sigh: "This strong wall Qingye is absolutely amazing!" ”

Zhang Lu's strong wall Qingye wants to say that it has brought him a lot of trouble, and it will not be.

He has his own food channel.

To get to Yongxi City, he has already gained a firm foothold in Hanzhong, and the grain road is also stable, and the threat brought to him by the strong wall and Qingye is actually not big.

"My lord, there is still something to report at the end!"

Huang Shao said suddenly.

"Say!"

"The day before yesterday, the scouts found that above the Han River, there were warships going down the river, and on these warships, it seems that they are all soldiers, and the scale is no less than three thousand, maybe more!" Huang Shao said.

"Why are you reporting this now?"

When Mu Jing heard this, his face was gloomy.

"The last general thought they were here to sneak attack, but if there was no trace of the sneak attack, he didn't care!" Huang Shao hurriedly surrendered his hand and pleaded guilty: "After entering the city, after seeing the enemy's strong walls and clear fields, I realized that this force is probably not coming at us, but at our grain road!" ”

"Grain?"

Mu Jing's eyes changed, and he shouted in a low voice: "Map!" ”

Left and right opened the map in the bamboo tube, and without saying a word, he spread the map in front of Mu Jing in front of him.

"Wen Yuan, if it were you and wanted to attack my grain road and destroy my granary, where would you attack?"

"Stone Spring!"

Zhang Liao looked at the map: "Down the river, there is only one place, Shiquan, many people here can see that it will be our grain road transit sitting, as long as we attack this place, cut off our grain road, the grain and grass in Xicheng Shangyong can't be sent in, and our tens of thousands of main forces ......"
