Jingzhou, Huarong County.

When Yuan Yao's army ravaged Guangling County before, the places that had been captured but could not be defended, Yuan Yao's army moved away all the treasury, money, grain, and people in these places, making these places a blank!

However, this attack on Jingzhou is different, in the eyes of Yuan Yao and his subordinates, the land of Jingzhou is already their own place, and they must not mess around like other places. Therefore, when Ling Tong led his troops to evacuate Huarong County, he only emptied the treasury of Huarong County, and demolished some of the city walls and fortifications in Huarong County, but did not move the population and people here.

However, the people of Huarong County are not fools, Ling Tong's troops and horses captured Huarong County, and occupied this important place in Huarong Daoxiazhai, and tore a hole in the border of the Jianghan Plain, and at any time they could send troops to threaten Jiangling City, the county of Nanjun.

There are still tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops stationed in Jiangling City, Jingzhou Army will definitely not sit idly by and watch this happen, and will definitely send troops to attack this place, and most of the local people have left Huarong County to take refuge in other places after the soldiers and horses of Ling Tong's troops left, and when Wen Pingqin led 30,000 soldiers and horses to Huarong County, the city was already desolate, except for some people who really had no way out, the rest of the people had already left Huarong City.

Wen Ping looked at the deserted city in front of him, and there was a burst of anger in his heart, Huarong County is the land artery leading from Nanjun to Jiangxia County, there are business travelers here, and it was also a big county in Nanjun before, but now this place is so deserted by Zhang Hu, what a waste!

That is, this person is dead, otherwise he must personally kill him by military law to vent the anger in his heart!

"General, there are very few people in the city, and no enemy ambush has been found, do you enter the city now?"

Wen Ping personally led 30,000 troops here, but Ling Tong's headquarters only had a few thousand soldiers and horses, although the possibility of an enemy ambush in the city was not very likely, but Wen Ping did not take it lightly, and still ordered the scouts to enter the city to search.

Hearing the scout's return, Wen Ping nodded lightly, looked at his deputy general Wen Yuan, and said: "The enemy army has occupied Huarong Dao Dangdao, Huarong Dao is a deep valley, the terrain is very dangerous, although our army has 30,000, but the enemy army also has thousands of elites, and they occupy the camp wall to rely on, I am afraid it will take some time for our army to recover this place, you and lead 10,000 soldiers and horses into the city to clean up the city, and set up a large camp outside the city, I will lead the army to meet that Ling Tong for a while, and see what is extraordinary about this person!" ”

"No, the last general commanded, our army is tired at the beginning of the army, please be careful!"

Wen Yuan was a general of Wen Ping before, and Wen Ping only had a deep relationship, and Wen Ping also trusted him very much, so when the two talked casually, Wen Ping was worried that Wen Ping would attack rashly, so he comforted Wen Ping.

Wen Ping nodded slightly, and said, "Don't worry, if it's too late today, I will never rashly attack the city." ”

Wen Yuan sent 10,000 soldiers and horses to rest and renovate the city and set up camp, and Wen Ping led the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses to go straight to Huarong Road.

……

The high ground on both sides of Huarong Road has also been garrisoned by Ling Tong's troops, and the enemy army cannot climb to the top of the hill and then attack the camp of Ling Tong's army with rolling logs and stones.

At this time, Ling Tong's troops and horses had been divided into four divisions, and three hundred soldiers and horses were stationed on the path in the mountains to choke the pass, so as to prevent the enemy from using Ling Tong's methods on his body in turn; On the hills on both sides of Huarong Road, Ling Tong has also arranged 350 soldiers and horses to garrison, these soldiers occupy the high ground, plus the mountains on both sides are very steep, there are these 700 soldiers and horses condescending to guard the high ground, it is definitely a man to pass!

As for the remaining 4,000 soldiers and horses, they were all led by Ling Tong personally and stationed in the Huarong Dao camp, in these few days, the Huarong Dao camp has been built into a military fortress by Ling Tong, the antler traps in front of the camp are dense, and the camp wall is also made of giant wood, masonry and mud, as long as the enemy dares to attack, Ling Tong has absolute confidence that he can give the enemy a good look!

On this day, when Ling Tong was training soldiers and horses, suddenly a sentry cavalry came to report that an army of about 30,000 people was coming straight to the direction of Huarong County, and it was currently less than ten miles away from Huarong County.

After Ling Tong heard the report of the sentry cavalry, he hurriedly ordered all the soldiers and horses from all walks of life to be stationed in the fortification city wall, and sent the sentry cavalry to investigate the movements of the enemy army again, and finally the enemy army came to report again: "30,000 enemy troops are divided into two parts, 10,000 soldiers and horses go to Huarong City to camp, and the rest of the soldiers and horses go straight to Huarong Road, 20,000 soldiers and horses are under the banner of the word 'Wen', and the main general of the enemy army should be the general of Jingzhou!" ”

When Ling Tong heard that it was Wen Ping who led the army to come, he immediately dispelled it, and said: "Hahahaha, Wen Ping is finally here, hahahaha......"

The people around saw Ling Tong laughing and looked very happy, and asked: "General, Wen Ping is a famous general in Jingzhou, and he personally led 20,000 troops to attack our camp, why is the general not surprised?" ”

Ling Tong continued to laugh a few times and said, "I followed the lord to conquer Jingzhou, and I want to use this battle to make a name for myself!" Although I killed a Zhang Hu before, that person was just a nobody, and killing Zhang Hu couldn't make a name for me, and I really felt a little uncomfortable in my heart! I have already asked for a while to meet these so-called famous generals in Jingzhou, and now Wen Ping actually led the army to come, which can be regarded as fulfilling my heart's wish, can I still be unhappy if such a good thing is sent to the head? ”

After all, Wen Ping is a famous general in Jingzhou, and his reputation still has some, although Ling Tong has also shown some of his own abilities, but his reputation is still slightly inferior to Wen Ping, and the officers and men in the army are still slightly nervous in their hearts when they hear that Wen Ping personally led the army to come.

Now that the soldiers saw that Ling Tong was so heroic, with a posture that he didn't take Wen Ping in his eyes at all, everyone's minds immediately relaxed.

After Ling Tong finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, and then continued: "Moreover, at this time, the lord has personally led the army to the public security area, if Wen Ping does not lead the army to my Huarong County, he will definitely lead the army to the public security city to support, and now Wen Ping has led the army to my Huarong County, this side can make the lord much safer, isn't this kind of thing worth being happy about?" ”

After listening to Ling Tong's words, all the soldiers were impressed, "The general is so loyal and brave, he is really a righteous man, I am waiting for the general to lead, why not be afraid of civil appointment!" ”
