In the afternoon, as the sun set, a faint afterglow was reflected in a newly built camp.

There are only 800 soldiers in the Modao Battalion, compared to the hundreds of thousands of Yizhou Army, it can only be regarded as a small fly, and it is simply settled in the Yizhou Military Camp, which stretches for hundreds of miles, and a random vacant camp is enough for the Modao Battalion to station.

Of course, this location is also important.

For example, in front of the Modao battalion is the most powerful Dongzhou battalion of the Dongzhou Army under Zhang Ren, on the right is the Yangtze River, and the Bajun Navy is also stationed on the Yangtze River, and behind it is the elite Jiangzhou battalion of Yan Yan's subordinates.

Caught between the three camps.

With the strength of the Modao Battalion, even if you put on your wings, you can't fly out.

"Lord, this Liu Yan is still guarding against you!" Standing in the new camp, there was a haze on Xi Zhicai's face: "Heavy troops in front and back, are you afraid that we won't be able to escape!" ”

"That's trust!"

Mujing is in a good mood.

The words he said in the camp just now not to mention that he had won Liu Yan's absolute trust, but he had initially eliminated Liu Yan's biggest doubts, and Liu Yan had already found a starting point for his surrender.

"Look at the front, we are separated from the Chinese army by two barracks!" Mu Jing looked ahead and said, "Just by virtue of this, his suspicion of me has overwhelmed the lowest, the meal needs to be eaten in one bite, and trust also needs to be accumulated a little bit!" ”

"Although Liu Yan is suspicious of you, Zhang Renke keeps an eye on us very closely!"

Xi Zhicai thought for a while and said, "Will he be bad?" ”

"Let him keep an eye on him!"

Mu Jing pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "But you can distort his starting point, Liu Yan trusts him now, but it doesn't mean that he will trust him all the time, Zhang Ren suspects that our starting point is very important, if he is just worried about our loyalty, no matter what he does, Liu Yan will not blame him, but if he is to exclude dissidents, it will be different!" ”

"I see!" Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up: "Liu Yan is suspicious, as long as he can provoke his suspicion, then the rest of the things will go smoothly!" ”

"Take your time!" Mu Jing waved his hand, his eyes narrowed, this vague light flashed in his pupils, and he sighed softly: "Now we have passed the first level!" ”

This is a big picture, he has gambled his net worth, success is the southwest, the world is dominant, and everything is closed if he loses.

A chess game that cannot be made with half a wrong move is never allowed to rush for quick success.

…………

The main account of the camp.

Liu Yan calmed his mood, he himself was a little strange, he hid such a good mind, he didn't know if he was close to him, how could he be picked out by Mu Jing in just a few words, and he was still a little happy.

"Lord!"

Zhang Ren walked in and bowed.

"Is it arranged?" Liu Yan asked.

"It's arranged!" Zhang Ren nodded: "The southwest, by the Yangtze River, is escorted by the Dongzhou battalion and the Jiangzhou battalion in front and behind, and the safety of Minghou is foolproof!" ”

"Are you concerned about Minghou's safety, or are you guarding against him?"

Liu Yan smiled indifferently.

"I care about his safety, but I also guard against him!" Zhang Ren said calmly: "Lord, the Marquis of Ming is the Marquis of Ming after all, not my Yizhou descendant, although he must not have the heart of conspiring with Jingzhou, but he has to prevent him from hurting the lord!" ”

"Zhang Ren, be more open-minded!"

Liu Yan shook his head: "If you want the people of the world to use only yourself, you should cater to the hearts of the people of the world, if you can only use the people of Yizhou, won't I only nest in Yizhou for the rest of my life, the cities that have been beaten, the counties that have been seized, who can govern for us, employ people, and only move by talent!" ”

"Lord, I have no opinion on other people, but Minghou Mujing is a dangerous person, this person is a double-sided blade, if the lord wants to use it, he should be cautious!" Zhang Ren insisted on his opinion: "And this person I see is not a surrender!" ”

"You have a personal grudge with Huang Zhong, the general under Mu Jing, you know, but you know it!"

Liu Yan slapped him.

"The last general knows!" There was a cold glint in Zhang Ren's eyes.

He studied under Tong Yuan, Tong Yuan is the king of guns in Hebei, the world of martial arts, and there are only a handful of people who can be compared, but he was defeated by Huang Zhong, the king of Nanyang swords, and he was angry with his heart, so he died.

Master is like a father, the hatred is not the same as the sky, he wants to kill Huang Zhong, it is not a matter of one or two days, when he was in Chengdu, he had a chance, but the overall situation is important, he endured, and now he still has to endure, after all, the surrender of the herdsmen is of great significance to Yizhou.

But he has to guard against it, to prevent Mu Jing from secretly making trouble, I don't know if it is preconceived, he always feels that Mu Jing is not a person who can be honest.

"You don't care about the affairs of Mulongtu's side!" Liu Yan waved his hand and said: "You concentrate on attacking Jingzhou City, a certain face has been lost to you, the pastoral army has been down to Xiangyang for so long, but we are unable to advance an inch, is it possible that we must continue to let Mu Longtu see jokes, let him think, a certain thing is not a big deal!" ”

"The last general commands!"

Zhang Ren nodded: "The last general is ready to attack!" ”

"Then attack!"

Liu Yan said: "Within a month, you must take Jingzhou City, otherwise, you will come to see you!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Ren received the military order, then turned and left.

……

The next day, outside Jingzhou City, at the West City Gate and the South City Gate, the Yizhou army was already in formation.

Knock knock knock!!!!

The drums beat and the battle began.

The Yizhou army began to attack.

The main Dongzhou army attacked the west city gate, and the Ba County soldiers responded at the south city gate, launched a two-sided attack, suppressed the morale of the city with troops, and forced the city to deploy all the available troops to the city gate.

"Trebuchet!"

Zhang Ren was wearing battle armor, riding a horse on the front line, his eyes were hunting, and his fighting spirit was awe-inspiring: "Smash me!" ”

Boom Boom Boom !!!

Yizhou has had good weather in recent years, and as a country of abundance, there is plenty of grain and grass, and there are a lot of ordnance, and more than ten trebuchets can be equipped in one battalion, which even the elite herdsmen do not have.

In the first wave of attack, hundreds of stone projectiles thrown by trebuchets seemed to blast open the city gates, one after another, and the ground shook and the mountains shook.

However, Jingzhou City is a place with high walls and thick walls, and even large trebuchets can hardly break through the city walls, and at most they can only bring some casualties to the soldiers defending the city.

The most important thing is that in this era, whether it is a bed crossbow or a trebuchet, the accuracy of the head is very poor.

That is to say, ten trebuchets, one attack, ten stone projectiles, may not be able to fall into the right position, either overdone, or can only tremble under the city wall.

"Archer!"

"Ready!"

"Put!"

Tens of thousands of archers lined up, and they did not shoot at the city, but at the sky, which was a projectile, forming an arc, and then falling from the sky, like a piece of rain falling, covering the entire battlefield.

"Shieldman, shield!"

"Block!"

Cai Mao on the city wall looked at it coldly, and immediately gave orders, covering it with a shield to block this rain of arrows.

Then Cai Mao counterattacked: "Archer, hair!" “

"Woo Woo !!"

The archers on the head of the city also stretched out their formation, covering the city, and they were condescending, but they had more advantages.

On the first day of the battle, everyone was consuming the arrows of both sides and the attack ability of the opponent's long-range weapons.

……

Night.

The Yizhou military camp was a little quiet, and the soldiers who had been tired for a day had already begun to rest, and could only hear the footsteps of the soldiers and horses patrolling the camp.

Modao Camp, in the Mujing camp, there is an oil lamp lit, he is reading a book under the lamp, he has been reading the Warring States Policy recently, and sometimes he can watch it very fascinatingly, and he didn't even notice that Xi Zhicai walked in.

"Ahem!" Xi Zhicai coughed twice.

"Why are you here?"

Mu Jing put down the secretary in his hand, raised his head slightly, and asked with a smile.

"Aren't you waiting for today's Yizhou Army's results?" Xi Zhicai sat down and asked in a deep voice.

"What do I care about them?"

Mu Jing shook his head.

"You really have to care about it!" Xi Zhicai said: "You surrendered, Jingping's First Army will now be controlled by Liu Yan, and now Liu Yan has handed over the big war to Zhang Ren, if it continues like this, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhang Ren will not treat Jingping's First Army as a vanguard and dare to die, and open the way for him!" ”

"Not to this point!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "Unless Zhang Ren admits that the Yizhou Army is inferior to our Shepherd Army, he dares to mobilize our Jingping First Army to enter, otherwise he will only hang it high!" ”

"It's true that Zhang Ren is arrogant, but he may not be as thin-skinned as we thought!" Xi Zhicai said softly: "He is a pragmatic person!" ”

"Pragmatic?"

Mu Jing smiled: "I understand what you mean, you just said that in order to break through Jingzhou City, he may not care about that face!" ”
