Chapter 743: The Siege
The Battle of Longzhong was fiercely fought.
Chen went to the three battalions to attack together, and on the first day, he forcibly pushed the battle line to the foot of Longzhong Mountain.
At this time, some reinforcements from Xiangyang also came out, but the 3,000 soldiers led by Zhang Hu were blocked by Pei Yuanshao, a general under Zhou Cang, on the western suburbs of the trail.
The next day, Chen Zhi continued his onslaught and took the lead.
Jingping camp advances.
forcibly tore the defense line of the Jingzhou army, entered the mountain, and fought with the Jingzhou army on the mountain.
Longzhong Mountain was reduced to a Shura field.
On this day, Longzhong was not completely captured, and in the evening, Liu Pan's main force still defeated the Jingping camp that did not stand firm, and drove the Jingping camp down the mountain.
Both sides withdrew their troops.
Night falls.
Beneath the foot of the mountain.
Chen Zhi's battle armor was stained with blood, and he didn't care at all, in the light of the oil lamp, a pair of cold eyes were like electricity, staring at the topographic map of Longzhong Mountain, and said: "I am ready to personally lead the army to attack at night and take the mountain stream trail on the left!" ”
"Wouldn't it be too risky!"
The second battalion commander, Du Feng, asked softly.
"Time is running out, only adventure!" Chen Zhi said coldly: "Since I have issued a military order with the lord, then I must capture Longzhong Mountain as soon as possible, and fight tonight, there is no retreat!" ”
"Yes!"
The lieutenants were ordered.
The night was quiet, time passed bit by bit, and Longzhong Mountain was very quiet.
"Longzhong can't hold it!"
Liu Pan's eye bags are a little heavy, and his spirit is not very good, after all, under this bloody battle, he bears a lot of mental pressure, the attack of the pastoral army is too fierce, two days of bloody battle, the soldiers under his command have lost more than 2,000 soldiers, once more than half of the casualties are lost, they can't suppress the army's heart at all.
"Childe, what did Jingzhou say?" A marquis asked.
"Reinforcements can't come!"
Liu Pan said: "So we are leaving!" ”
He also wanted to hold on to Longzhong, but it was clear that he couldn't hold the position, and if he continued to defend it, he could only sacrifice in vain, and he was unwilling to sacrifice in vain.
So withdrawing troops was his only option.
"Where to evacuate?" Someone asked.
Now Longzhong is surrounded by the pastoral army, especially in order to hold on, they retreat to Longzhongshan, take the initiative to shrink the battle circle, and let the herdsmen's troops pull in, and if they want to get rid of it, they have to forcibly break through.
"North!" Liu Pan said: "Breaking out from here is the best chance!" ”
Boom Boom Boom Boom !!!
At this time, there was a sudden sound from outside.
"What's going on?"
Liu Pan asked: "Go and see if the herdsmen have attacked!" ”
"Report to the company, our left-wing camp is out of water!" A military marquis rushed in with a crawl and said, "The elite soldiers of the herdsman army have burst in from the slope and mountain stream and burned our left flank directly!" ”
"Damn it!"
Liu Pan's pupils changed: "I still can't prevent them from attacking at night!" ”
Although he arranged for people to defend, after all, he did not expect that the soldiers of the pastoral army would take the greatest risk and kill them from an impossible place, but his left flank was not defended enough, and the left flank guarded by the soldiers collapsed.
"Withdraw immediately!"
Liu Pan was a person who made a decision on the spot, and he said loudly: "Pass my order, all the soldiers, from the direction of the West River in the north, cross the river to break through and forcibly kill out!" ”
A battle between the siege and the breakout began.
It took five hours.
At about noon on the third day, the Battle of Longzhong ended.
Liu Pan escaped.
However, the soldiers and horses under his command were almost wiped out, thousands of soldiers and horses broke through, were intercepted and killed by the Jingping First Army three times, and finally only crossed the West River with only a few hundred remnants, went north, and entered Deng Long's camp, only to escape the pursuit of the Jingping First Army.
The midday sun was fierce.
Mu Jing rode a horse and slowly entered Longzhong.
Chen Zhi really took less than three days to take Longzhongshan, which made him very satisfied, but it was not easy to fight this battle, and the casualties of Jingping's first army were at least more than 1,000.
This herdsman army is different from the Jingzhou army, the Jingzhou army recruits young and strong as an army, and the herding army is an elite strategy, each of them is a soldier who has gone through a bloody battle on the battlefield, and the casualties are so large that it is enough to make Chen Zhi sad and angry for half a month.
"The last general Chen arrives, meet the lord!"
Chen Zhi was cleaning the battlefield when he heard that Mu Jing had arrived at Longzhong Mountain, and immediately came to greet him.
"Well done!"
Mu Jing praised and said: "This battle is a good fight!" ”
"It's just fighting with the lives of the soldiers, and the last general won't dare to take the credit!"
"It's your credit, it's yours!"
Mu Jing shook his head, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You are also a battle-hardened general, there are some things that you don't need me to comfort you!" ”
"Rest assured, on the battlefield, our soldiers never complain!"
Chen Zhi said in a deep voice.
"Good!"
The rancher nodded: "How was the result?" ”
"Five thousand soldiers of the Jingzhou army, two thousand two hundred were killed, two thousand five hundred were captured, and the rest escaped, and Liu Pan, the general of Jingzhou, did not catch him, let him escape!"
"Continue to clean up the battlefield, send the prisoners back to Fancheng, and give you ten days to rest!"
Mu Jing said.
"Yes!"
Chen Zhi received the order.
"Chen Sheng, Huo Ping!"
"In!"
"Order the Mo Dao Battalion to enter Longzhong Mountain immediately and build a front-line headquarters!" Mu Jing climbed Longzhong Mountain, looked ahead, and said, "In the future, I will stand here and fight Jingzhou!" ”
Longzhong is not far from Jingzhou.
Fight head-to-head.
"Yes!"
The two of them received the order, immediately turned around and left, took the Modao battalion, entered Longzhong Mountain, and began to build the headquarters, dig deep, build fortifications, and build this place as a fortress.
………………………………
"Defeated!"
In Xiangyang City, Liu Biao inexplicably felt a depressed aura coming to his face, he climbed to the top of the city, looked at the direction of Longzhong, and said gloomily.
"Liu Pan only has a few hundred remnants left, and he fled into Deng Long's promise!"
Kuai Liang said.
"Rubbish!"
Liu Biao drank coldly.
He has always had high hopes for Liu Pan, but he didn't expect that if he couldn't hold it for three days, he was broken by the pastoral army and faced Xiangyang City, which made him seem to hold a gloomy breath in his heart.
"Lord, without Longzhong as a support, our defense line outside the city may not be able to stop the herdsmen for long!" Kuai Liang said.
"Does the herdsman have the strength to siege the city?"
"In terms of troops, it is insufficient, but in terms of strength, I think they can attack the city, and the possibility of hitting in is not small, we still have to be careful to be careful, and we can't lose too many troops on the battlefield on the outskirts!"
Kuai Liang replied.
The shepherd's strength was small, but the shepherd's combat effectiveness was very strong.
This is the most intuitive feeling they have after so many games.
"Look again!"
Liu Biao squinted, looked ahead, and said, "I really want to see how strong the combat effectiveness of the pastoral army is, and how much time it can take to clean up the periphery of Xiangyang!" ”
…………………………
On June 2, Mu Jing moved his headquarters from Xishan in Deng County to Longzhong in Xiangyang.
The main force of the three armies of the herdsman army began to haunt this Longzhong and deploy the defense of Xiangyang City.
On June 3, Mu Jing ordered Zhoucang's Violent Bear Army to attack, attack the northern suburbs of Xiangyang, and fight with Deng Longbu.
At the same time, Xiangyang ordered that Deng Long must hold on to the northern suburbs.
The Violent Bear Army and the Jingzhou Deng Long Department began to fight.
At the same time, on the afternoon of June 3, the warships of the Mujun Navy and Jingping's Second Army exited Tanxi and entered Hanshui, and then attacked the Xiangyang moat, forcing Jiangxia Sailors to withdraw from Tanxi to protect the city.
Under the ferocious attack of the herdsmen, the fronts on the periphery of Xiangyang were pulled out one by one, and the entire battlefield had begun to tilt into Xiangyang City.
On June 5, a secret letter was handed down from Nanyang.
"Nango can't be saved!"
Mu Jing sighed helplessly: "The soldiers of the Guanzhong army are too strong, the Nanyang Yuan army is losing and retreating, and they can't stop it at all, and we, only one battalion of troops left, can't hold it, after Lei Bo was defeated in Wancheng, now there is Xinye left, and now they are staring at Nanxiang, and they can't bear it!" ”
The Guanzhong Army was an unexpected factor.
Huangfu Song took Nanyang to open the knife, he expected, but when it really came to this point, he was still a little difficult to accept, after all, Nanxiang has also been operating for a long time, once it changes hands, it will be much more difficult to recover it in the future.
"The Guanzhong army is so fierce that it can only avoid the edge for the time being!"
Chen Gong comforted Mu Jing and said with a wry smile.
The Guanzhong army is the main force of the imperial court, although it was suppressed by Xiliang, but Huangfu Song is still there, the Guanzhong army is the strongest army in the world, unless the pastoral army pulls out the main force, it is difficult to compete with the Guanzhong army.
"I'm a worried bandit!" Mu Jing said: "It's nothing to let Nanxiang out, but in the chaos, there are many soldiers and bandits, and the days when Nanxiang finally settles down, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be calm!" ”
After all, Nanxiang is the city under the command of the Ming Marquis, and it is also the main city of Nanyang, there are many people who live, the people are difficult to leave their homeland, they can't move away at all, and they have suffered from the military disaster, I am afraid that they want to restore prosperity in the future, and it is extremely difficult.
"Lord, I can't think of so much"
Chen Gong said calmly: "I also thought before that I could make the world peaceful, but in this troubled world, all the way down from Luoyang, all I saw was killing, and only by killing can the world be peaceful!" ”
Back then, he was dedicated to the Han, Cao Cao was under a secret edict to beg thieves, he gave up his official position and ran with him, but the affairs of the Lu family made him feel the cruelty of the troubled times for the first time.
He became a prisoner of the pastor.
While in prison, he began to look at the world and change his mind.
And let him completely give up the big man.
It was because of a fire in Luoyang back then.
This fire completely burned the loyalty of many people to Hanting, and he was one of them.
As the Mu family escaped from Guanzhong, all the way south, white bones in the wild, he felt very deeply, he wanted to have a peaceful and prosperous world, but he also knew that Taiping couldn't say it, he could only fight it.
"You're right, I can't think of so much!"
Mu Jing restrained his mood: "Now as long as Li Yan can keep Wudang and Shandu, it is already thankful to God to stabilize our rear!" ”
"My lord, Jing Wusi's secret letter!"
At this time, a herald of Jingwu Division walked in and handed over a secret letter.
"It's a purple-level secret letter again!"
Mu Jing opened it and looked at it, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently raised a slight arc: "Gongtai, take a look!" ”
"When they meet at this time, there is nothing else, it must be an alliance?"
Chen Gong took a look, his eyes shining slightly.
The news written above was that a spy buried in Runan found out about Yuan Shu's northward alliance with Cao Cao, so he hurried up 800 miles and passed the news down.
"Unexpected, but reasonable!" Mu Jing said: "Now the situation in the Central Plains is like this, whether it is Cao Cao or Yuan Shu, they are all immortal heroes, they can put aside their previous suspicions and join forces, I am not surprised!" ”
"Having said that, but in the past few years of fighting for life and death, how many soldiers have been injured by each other in each other's hands, and the enmity of life and death is nothing more than that, and now when it comes to forming an alliance, I admire their minds!"
Chen Gong sighed.
He almost followed Cao Cao back then, but he didn't know much about Cao Cao, and now it seems that this is indeed a rare overlord in troubled times.
"It's a good thing for us that they're aligned, and it gives me less pressure on the north!"
Mu Jing pondered for a while, and said: "It's best to pull Yuan Shao in, and then we will jump in, everything pays attention to a name, the court presses them in the name, they mainly attract enough princes, and they can also suppress the court in the name, these years, most people have the final say!" ”
The court made them unsubservient ministers.
They can also send troops to the court in the name of the king.
As for who in the world believes, it depends on whose influence is heavier.
For example, before, the Kwantung princes took the right name, because their princes from all walks of life are all over the world, and the places that can influence are too great, so they say that King Qin, they say King Qin, they say that the Mu family is a national thief, and the Mu family can only bear this notoriety.
"I'm afraid it's not that easy!"
Chen Gong said: "Now that he Yuan Benchu wants to take Youzhou, will he choose to go against the imperial court?" ”
Yuan Shao wants Youzhou, it's not a secret thing.
The relationship between him and Liu Yu was not very good, the soldiers of Jizhou were full of food, and they wanted to go north, and they were able to do it, but they were afraid that there was a Liu Bei in Youzhou who could fight and fight.
"Not necessarily!"
Mu Jing said with a smile: "We can't reach the whip, so let's not talk about them, but Cao Cao will let him go, in such a big battle, Cao Cao will definitely find a way to pull them in, only by pulling him in, can he fight against the imperial court!" ”
"Then it depends on Cao Cao's ability!"
Chen Gong said in a deep voice.
"Now that they have jumped out, we are relaxed, the Guanzhong army in Nanyang can't take care of us anymore, it is a good time for us to attack Xiangyang!"
Mu Jing looked ahead, the faintly visible Xiangyang City seemed to be within his reach, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and a cold smile hung on his lips: "Pass my military order, order all departments to attack freely, and in half a month, I will sweep the periphery of Xiangyang!" “
"No!"
Chen Gong personally went to pass the order.
The herdsmen began to attack frequently.
On June 8, Zhou Cang Chen went to a joint attack, Jingping's First Army and the Violent Bear Army, the two armies attacked, and jointly suppressed Deng Long's army.
The big battle lasted two days.
Deng Longbu suffered a big loss, left 3,000 corpses, and retreated to the city.
June 12th.
Chen Dao, Zhou Cang, Zhang Liao, and the three sides sent troops to sweep the southeast, and on some small waterways, with both sides of the river as ambushes, under repeated attacks, the Jiangxia naval army could only withdraw all the warships from the small rivers and rivers, and all of them were pressed on the Han River.
On June 15, Mu Jing ordered that the army should besiege Xiangyang with the west as the main army and the north and south as the auxiliary.
At this moment, Xiangyang has entered the most embarrassing and humiliating moment, in the city and on the Han River, they obviously have three points stronger than the strength of the herdsmen, but they are blocked by the herdsmen, and they dare not go out of the city to fight, and they are in a siege dilemma.
