Chapter 671: Uncle Chen's soldiers break through the sand envy
The day after Li Mu passed down the military order, Zhang and Yan Yan came to Huarong City from Jingling City. Li Mu told Zhang and Yan Yan that they should defend Jiangling City and not let Sun Ce of the Jingnan Army have a chance. Zhang and Yan Yan naturally vouched for their lives and would definitely guard the front line of Jiangling City.
At the same time, Li Mu issued two other military orders to Zhang and Yan Yan, the first of which was to monitor the family and Haoqiang in Jiangling City at all times, so as to prevent them from causing trouble and making trouble from them; Second, 20,000 troops were recruited on the front line of Jiangling City, Zhijiang, Yidao, and Zigui to enrich the strength of the Liangzhou Army and Naval Division.
In addition, Li Mu also left Deng Zhi in Jiangling City. First, Deng Zhi can be responsible for managing the political and civil affairs of Jiangling City, Yidao, Zigui, Zhijiang, and Shanxi; Second, in terms of military strategy, Deng Zhi can also assist Zhang and Yan Yan.
Deng Zhi, Zhang, and Yan Yan naturally did not dare to slack off after receiving Li Mu's military order. On the same day, the three of them rushed to Jiangling City with the Liangzhou Army and Naval Division, and went to take over the defense of Jiangling City, Yidao, and Zigui.
Also on the same day, Dian Wei, Fu Yan, Zhao Feng, Huang Xu, and Gan came to Huarong City with the Suzaku Cavalry and the Tiger Wing Legion's infantry to join Li Musuo's troops.
Three days have passed in a blink of an eye!
On the fourth day, Li Mu, together with Pang Tong, Dian Wei, Ma Teng, Fu Yan, Zhao Feng, Zhen Yao, Huang Xu, Gan, and Huo Yi, led the Vermilion Bird Cavalry and the Tiger Wing Legion to march from Huarong City and began to enter Xiangyang City, the state seat of Jingzhou.
When Li Musuo's troops came to the boundary of Jingling City, Jiang and Gao Xiang, who stayed in Jingling City, were already waiting with the foot horses of the Tiger Wing Legion. Subsequently, the two lines of soldiers and horses, combined with one army, began to move north.
The army of Liangzhou went all the way north, and everywhere it passed, there was no crime in autumn. As Huo Jun said before, where the army passed, Dangyang, Linfu, Lankouju, Bianxian, Guo, Guo, Yicheng, Zhonglu and other places in Jingzhou Nanjun, did not dare to have sporadic resistance, and all of them surrendered to the wind.
It only took more than a day for the Liangzhou army to smoothly march from Huarong City to Liqiu, twenty miles outside the south gate of Xiangyang City. This also indicates that the southern defense line of Xiangyang City has been disintegrated by the Liangzhou army.
said that at the beginning, it was in Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's 50,000 Jingzhou army and navy...... On the day that the halberd sank into the territory of Jingling City, Huang Zhong's 30,000 Tianfeng army and Zhang Liao's 10,000 Qilin army sent troops south to Jingxiang on the same day.
The Tianfeng Legion, the troops went out of the front line of Xinye and Zhuyang in Nanyang County, and it took less than an hour to successfully capture Fancheng. At this time, the Qilin Legion that had left Fangling went east along the Han River and also came to the territory of Deng County.
Fancheng is located north of the Han River, across the water from Xiangyang City. Deng County is located south of the Han River, twenty miles northwest of Xiangyang City. Deng County and Fancheng are also across the water, and the two places are less than 20 miles apart.
Heard...... When the Liangzhou army moved south to Jingxiang, Liu Biao followed Kuai Yue's suggestion and burned all the pontoon bridges between Fancheng, Xiangyang City and Deng County, in an attempt to block the southward advance of the Liangzhou army.
Today's Liangzhou Army not only has its own naval division, but also its own troop transport warship, and crossing the Han River in the south is just an overnight thing. Liu Biao's practice of burning the pontoon bridge is just a practice of covering his ears and stealing the bell to deceive himself!
After the Tianfeng Legion captured Fancheng, it did not rush to cross the Hanshui south and enter Xiangyang City on the other side, but chose to march into Deng County and join Zhang Liao's Qilin Legion.
Just two hours after the fall of Fancheng, Deng County was also broken by the Qilin Legion and the Tianfeng Legion. Kuai Qi, the guard general of Deng County, was also captured by the Liangzhou army.
At this point, the entire Xiangyang City was surrounded by the Liangzhou Army in all directions.
Liu Biao did not listen to Kuai Liang's loyal words, first lost 50,000 Jingzhou army and naval army, and then lost Jiangling City, the southern important place of Nanjun, because of the containment of Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses.
Today's Liu Biao can only be trapped in the lonely city of Xiangyang City!
……
Besides, since Yunmengze divided his troops, Chen Dao, Deng Ai, Mu Shun, Dong Ju, and Ren Kui took 20,000 Liangzhou military and water divisions all the way east to capture Shaxian City, an important place on the east bank of Yunmengze.
Knowing the military situation of the Liangzhou Army and Naval Division approaching eastward, Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu, the commanders of Shaxian City, did not care, and the two did not have the slightest fear.
After all, in the eyes of the two of them, the Liangzhou Army was good at land warfare; When it comes to water warfare, the Liangzhou army is just a rabble!
In addition, there is ...... Shaxian City is a city built near the water, and the west gate waterway of Shaxian City is located on Yunmengze. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the Liangzhou Army and Naval Division landed and came to besiege Shaxian City, he Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu could also evacuate from the Ximen Waterway.
Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu spent a good day drunk and dreaming of death. Before midnight the next day, the latest military information came from the Tanma of Shaxian City...... The Liangzhou Army Water Division has marched to the west of Shaxian City, twenty miles west, and on top of Yunmengze, a water village has been laid down.
Hearing such a military situation, Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu immediately felt happy in their hearts, and at the same time, their contempt for the Liangzhou military and naval division was a little more aggravated.
It turned out that what the two of them were thinking was ...... The Liangzhou Army and Naval Division gave up landing and besieging Shaxian City, but chose to lay a water village on top of Yunmengze, which is clearly based on its own shortcomings and attacking the enemy's strengths, which is really a stupid move!
Just when Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu were celebrating triumphantly, there was a ...... The news of the entry of the Liangzhou Army Water Division. The two of them were still not afraid, and immediately lit up 3,500 sailors and left the Shaxian Ximen Waterway.
When the Jingzhou Navy came to Yunmengze, when they came into the eyes, they saw only ...... There are about thirty warships in the Liangzhou Army and Naval Division, and they are provoking in an orderly formation.
Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu, how could they endure such a provocation, the two immediately commanded the soldiers and marched towards the Liangzhou Army's naval division.
Seeing that the Jingzhou army was chasing after it violently, the Liangzhou Army and Water Division immediately retreated. Seeing this, Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu only thought that the Liangzhou army was afraid, and the two immediately chased after them.
The Jingzhou army and navy pursued and killed for a quarter of an hour, and they were always one stone's throw behind the Liangzhou army and navy. However, Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu, who had long been angry, how could they give up?
At this moment, all of a sudden, the earth-shaking sound of war drums, horns, and shouts of killing came from all directions.
It was only at this time that Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu discovered that the entire Jingzhou Army and Navy were already surrounded by the Liangzhou Army, and it was too late to retreat.
The large building ships of the Liangzhou Army attacked from all directions with a thunderous momentum. In an instant, the warships of the Jingzhou army had turned into powder, and before Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu could surrender, they were smashed into pulp.
Two quarters of an hour later, the military flag of the Liangzhou Army fluttered on Shaxian City!
