Chapter 326: Solid as a Mountain
The scale of Zigui is not very large, the height of the city wall, the thickness is average, it belongs to the ordinary county seat, and the only excellent place is that it is very strong.
Since Ma Liang arrived in Zigui, he began to repair the city wall.
There is no moat in Zigui, and there is no dry river.
There are also no drawbridges.
But Yan Yan was still ten miles away, and it was still too late to set up the antlers. The antlers have been prepared for a long time, but they are usually not good in front of the city gates.
During the war, the antlers were taken out and fixed in front of the city gates.
In front of the city gate tower in the south of the city, there are two flags with the words "Guan" and "Mi", and the city is full of soldiers wearing armor and holding bows, and the king of the county guard Xu mobilized a lot of people and carried a lot of materials to defend the city.
Mi Wei put on armor and pressed his sword, and led his own soldiers to inspect the city wall. He was followed by Ying Sima, Mi Wei didn't say a word, and Ying Sima spoke on his behalf.
"There are only 10,000 soldiers, but we have five or six thousand, and we are not afraid of them. If you fight bravely to kill the enemy and defend the city, you will be rewarded in the aftermath. ”
Ying Sima made rounds with Mi Wei while promising benefits from time to time.
Mi Wei, Zhang Bao, and Zhao Tong led the soldiers and horses, which were more miscellaneous. Most of them are the old troops of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, or the troops recruited from Hanzhong after Guan Ping entered Hanzhong.
Loyalty is not as good as Xinye, a soldier from Fangling.
But Mi Wei led the troops well every day, and the soldiers were fat and strong. Although he usually doesn't say a word and is known as the "one-word general", the soldiers are willing to serve him.
Coupled with the promise of the battalion Sima, there are many rewards, and the morale is naturally good.
When Yan Yan led his troops to Zigui City, the materials for defending the city on the southern city wall had been piled up, and even the grease cauldron had been prepared.
This made Yan Yan feel that something was wrong.
The 10,000 soldiers in Yizhou began to line up, with 2,000 people as a team, divided into four teams. Three of them were responsible for the attack, and the remaining team of 4,000 men was responsible for building the camp.
Pei Shun, the army under Yan Yan's command, led 2,000 men to attack the city first. Ladders, shields, archers, knife hands, snare drums are ready.
But Yan Yan frowned.
Under the banner of the word "Yan", Yan Yan, accompanied by his own soldiers, looked at the banner of the word "Mi" at the head of the city, touched his white beard, and said: "I thought that when my army was killed, the son of this merchant would flee in the wilderness. I didn't expect to defend the city. ”
Yan Yan already felt that Mi Wei might not be easy to deal with, but at this moment, he had to send an arrow.
"It's a tiger or a worm, you need to try it. Besiege. Yan Yan sneered and ordered the siege of the city. Then personally ask one of the drummers to get out of the way, pick up the drumsticks, and beat the snare drum with both hands.
"Kill !!!!" Yan Yan's eyes widened angrily like Tongling, his mouth opened angrily, he spit out the breath in his lungs, and the roar of killing rose to the sky.
"Kill !!!"
The army waited for Pei Shun to echo each other, roared angrily, and led 2,000 people to attack the city. Thirty ladders forward, shield bearers protect the archers to reach the city, shoot arrows into the city, and cover our soldiers to climb the ladders.
And a soldier with a knife bit the knife in his mouth, put the ladder on the ladder, and struggled to climb the city wall.
In the absence of ladder trucks and well carts, the siege is actually very disadvantageous. But at this moment, Yan Yan was also ready to send it.
"Hey!" Mi Wei is a good-natured person, but he also has to let out a sneer at this moment.
The opponent only has 10,000 people, either Yizhou strikers, or Jiangdong people to play the front station. 10,000 men attacked a city defended by five or six thousand elite soldiers.
This is clearly belittling him.
Is it because my name is unknown, or is my father a civil servant? My house is not a gatekeeper?
"Please also ask the general to stand back." At this moment, the archers above and below the city have begun to fight, the archers in the city condescendingly shoot Yan Yan's soldiers, and the archers under the city are hiding behind their shields, probing from time to time.
Archers are also a disadvantage for the besieging side.
But at least the other party can shoot arrows up, and arrows rain down.
"Please also ask the general to sit in the city gate tower, I will come here." Mi Wei's battalion Sima, afraid that Mi Wei would lose, couldn't help but say.
Mi Wei glanced at him and said, "Shield." ”
The pro-soldiers immediately held shields and stood behind Mi Wei, behind the female wall, covering Mi Wei. Mi Wei has a right hand, and one of his own soldiers took Mi Wei's customary big bow, and a personal soldier held a quiver to serve beside him.
Mi Wei stretched out his bow and arrows, hid in the gap in the shield, and shot one of the arrows in his hand.
"Poof!" With a bang, an archer of Yan Yanjun had just emerged from the shield protection when he was shot by Mi Wei with an arrow.
The corners of Mi Wei's mouth curled slightly, revealing a sneer. And he took arrows, and bent his bow and shot them.
Arrow after arrow.
Mi Wei shot forty arrows and emptied four quivers, but the arrows were not missing, and the opposing archers fell in response, at least wounded.
Mi Wei is not a general, let him ride his horse out of the city to fight, Yan Yan can cut twenty. But from Mi Jia Mi Zhu to Mi Wei, they are all good at shooting.
In the past, when Mi Wei was still in Fangling, he went into the mountains to hunt, and as long as he saw the prey, he basically couldn't run away.
"The General's Mighty !!!"
"The General's Mighty !!"
The morale of the defending sergeants was immediately boosted, and cheers rang out. Mi Wei used a strong bow, and he couldn't open it too many times, and after shooting forty arrows, his arm began to ache, Mi Wei put the bow down and turned away.
"Hold on." Before leaving, Mi Wei said.
Not to mention Mi Wei, even Zhao Tong can be decent here. Zhang Bao, Zhao Tong, Mi Wei, Ding Feng, Ding Feng, Liao Hua and other young generals, none of them are vegetarians.
So the one who eats the bitter fruit is Yan Yan.
In the evening, Yan Yan ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops. Counting the soldiers, it was found that hundreds of people had died and thousands had been wounded. couldn't help but look ugly, snorted coldly, and went back to eat in the big tent.
"I can't imagine a businessman's son who is so useful." The more Yan Yan thought about it, the more unhappy he became, and he put the wine bowl heavily, and half of the wine in the bowl was spilled.
Yan Yan got up from his sitting, pacing back and forth with his hands on his back, his face extremely gloomy.
"Wang Ping, Ding Feng, and Xu Shu were stationed on the front line of Yangping Pass, which frustrated Wu Yi and others. Li Zheng robbed the people that Xiahou Yuan had robbed, which made Xiahou Yuan suffer. Zhang Bao, Zhao Tong, Li Fei and others are also quite meritorious, even Liao Hua can also be loyal. What's even more infuriating is that Wang Ping was originally from Bazhong, but he defected to Guan Ping. Not to mention Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and others, even these children are at least decent and good generals. On the other hand, in Yizhou, in addition to my old bones, there are only Zhang Ren, Ling Bao and others left. It's really getting weak. If you can't take the opportunity to unite with the Jiangdong people this time and wipe out the Guan family, there will be endless troubles in the future. ”
Yan Yan's heart was extremely urgent.
But it is not a setback today, but a worry about the future of Yizhou.
The more I fight with the Guan family, the more worried I am. From the battle of Yangping Pass and the battle of Micang Road, I thought that Mi Wei might be a straw bale, but he was also frustrated.
The Guan family has appointed so many young generals, but none of them are straw bales.
It's horrible.
"Continue to attack the city tomorrow morning, and attack Zigui at all costs."
Yan Yan crossed his hands on his hips, rushed at the soldiers outside the camp, and said loudly.
.............
Name seeking.
In the camp, the flags were displayed, and the soldiers were led by their respective soldiers to conduct drills.
At present, Guan Ping is in a very good mood and is also very leisurely. The news from the front came one after another, Wang Wei, Huang Zhong and others crossed the river to attack the grain and grass of the Jiangdong people, and burned at least 10,000 stones of the other party.
Zhao Yun was in the south of Nanjun and caused trouble for Sun Quan's grain road.
The situation developed exactly as Guan Ping expected, and it only needed to be so deadlocked. The Jiangdong people are about to retreat like Cao Cao.
And if the Jiangdong people do not retreat, Ma Liang goes to lobby Shamoke, which is a powerful ambush.
Plus the Yamagoe problem.
Guan Ping prayed that this year's grain harvest in Jingzhou and Jiangdong will be poor. Anyway, the Jingzhou area, which belongs to the territory of the Guan family, basically did not catch up with the spring ploughing, and there was no harvest.
As long as the grain harvest in Jiangdong is not enough, the more the mountains in the mountains are not full, they will go down the mountains to plunder. Shanyue and Wuxi barbarians broke out together, Jiangdong hehe.
Guan Ping was very leisurely, and even let the soldiers practice, practicing for eight days out of ten. Eat and drink every day, and let the soldiers go to the nearby creek to fish and eat.
At this time, Guan Ping himself hid in the big tent of the Chinese army, chatting with Zhao Tong and Zhang Bao.
"At most, in March, as long as the third uncle, Gan Ning, and Wei Yan train 40,000 soldiers and horses, go south to join Li Zheng, and the forces of all parties will press towards the Jiangling area. Ma Liang raised troops in Jingnan and attacked Exian. If Sun Quan does not retreat, he will be a turtle in an urn. ”
Guan Ping stood up with his hands behind his back and said to the two brothers with a relaxed expression.
Zhang Bao wanted to speak, but before he could speak, he saw Zhou Xiong running in from outside the door and said, "General Ming." Sun Quan ordered Huang, Pan, and Wednesday to lead about 20,000 elite soldiers, with grain and grass, to seek killing, a distance of only ten miles. ”
Guan Ping was taken aback when he heard this, then glanced at the two elder brothers, and said with a smile: "Sun Quan, Zhou Yu is stupid." I have 13,400 soldiers and horses, and I am holding the camp. He sent 20,000 men, did he want to eat me? He wants to eat me, and he will send at least 50,000 men to attack. And I'm not letting them fight, Zhao Yun's cavalry, Li Zheng is in Dangyang, and Mi Wei is in Zigui. Although the third uncle and his 40,000 people are a little less hot, they are also soldiers and horses. It would not be good for them to disperse their forces. ”
"Point soldiers. Armor, garrison. If they attack strongly, forget it, if they come to challenge with one or two thousand people, I will personally lead the ironclad soldiers to meet them. Guan Ping pinched his wrist and said majestically.
"No." Zhang Bao, Zhao Tong, and Zhou Xiong agreed with a bang. Then Zhang Bao, Zhao Tong went down to order troops, Zhou Xiong personally put on armor for Guan Ping, and after putting on the armor, Guan Ping lifted his big knife and led Zhou Xiong and others to Dongying Gate.
Soon after going to the camp gate, Guan Ping saw the other party's people, the pioneer was the "Zhou" character banner, Guan Ping estimated that the other party was Zhou Tai.
Guan Ping hopes that the other party can pull out one or two thousand elite soldiers to challenge, and the two sides will fight to see if they can take advantage. It's a pity that Zhou Tai was only arrayed near the camp gate, and the follow-up Jiangdong army began to camp in Mingqiu Dongfang.
Guan Ping looked at the sky and said suspiciously: "It seems that they are here to spy on me." But it is too extravagant to spy on us with 20,000 soldiers and horses, 5,000 will be enough. ”
Guan Ping was guarding the camp, and it was not false for the other side to attack with 50,000 people. I'll be able to hold on for a while.
On the other hand, if the other party comes to monitor and guard the camp, 5,000 people can resist 120,000 people.
Surveillance doesn't need so many soldiers. As soon as Guan Ping's voice fell, others didn't have time to speak. He heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and Guan Ping turned his head to look, feeling a little unpleasant.
"Report to the general, General Zigui Mi sent me to deliver a letter." The knight turned over and dismounted, removed the bamboo tube tied to his back, and knelt down on one knee.
Guan Ping took out the silk cloth and looked at it, his face changed, and he blurted out: "Liu Zhang's guy dared to come out of the turtle shell and come to me for trouble." ”
Against all odds.
Unexpected.
