Chapter 97: Many days of fierce fighting

The state tomb city, the Wei Yan camp and the Yue Fei camp are distributed in an inverted triangle, the state tomb city can be defended by the city, and the Wei Yan camp and the Yue Fei camp have their own dangerous places, but the central area of this triangle is a vast plain, and the wide terrain is enough for the army to crisscross it.

If the Jingzhou army directly attacked the city of Zhouling, it would fall into the trap of Wei Yan's camp and Yue Fei's camp; If the Jingzhou army attacked the camps of Wei Yan and Yue Fei, Yuan Yao, who was sitting in the state mausoleum city, could break through the central center at any time to support, and the complex terrain made the Jingzhou army can be said to be in a dilemma.

It is precisely for this reason that Liu Pan chose to directly attack Ganning Water Village, wanting to win the battle quickly, but Ganning had already prepared to let Liu Pan's plan fail, which also made the Jingzhou army have to face the city and camp of Yuan Yao's army again.

At that time, Liu Pan led 10,000 naval troops to sit outside the city of Zhouling to defend against Yuan Yao's attack, while Huang Zhong and Wei Yan each led 20,000 infantry armor to storm Yue Fei's camp and Wei Yan's camp; The Wei Yan battalion occupies the high ground and the dangerous slope and has sufficient troops, and Wen Ping has no good way to deal with the Wei Yan camp for a while; Although Yue Fei's camp had a trench as a barrier, Huang Zhong had made full preparations this time, and in half a morning, the Jingzhou army filled in the trench of Yue Fei's camp, and the officers and men of the two armies launched a tragic white-knuckle battle around the wall of Yue Fei's camp.

The two sides fought for a whole day, and with the timely support of Gan Ning, the Jingzhou army still failed to break through Yue Fei's camp as expected, and each side suffered two or three thousand soldiers and horses, and the Jingzhou army finally returned in vain.

That night, Wei Yan sent light cavalry to continue to attack the Jingzhou army camp, but this time the Jingzhou army had already prepared, Huang Zhong personally led three thousand iron cavalry to ambush on the road, fortunately Yuan Yaojun light cavalry detected the ambush of the Jingzhou army in advance, and did not rush into the ambush circle, otherwise these hundreds of light cavalry would definitely be wiped out.

Huang Zhong saw Yuan Yao's light cavalry retreating, so he pursued and wanted to drive these light cavalry back, and then attacked Yuan Yao's army camp at night, Wei Yan saw the Jingzhou army iron cavalry killing, and immediately personally led five thousand iron cavalry to meet the battle, Huang Zhong was outnumbered, just when he was about to retreat, Wen Ping led reinforcements to come, the two sides broke out again, Yuan Yao in the two sides of the battle stalemate, so that five hundred heavy cavalry from the city to attack the Jingzhou army front, Jingzhou army immediately routed and fled, Yuan Yao was worried that the Jingzhou army still had an ambush, and did not dare to pursue rashly.

On the second day, Liu Pan learned the lesson of the first day and ordered the entire naval fleet to attack, suppressing and involving the Ganning naval army while cleaning up the Yangtze River waterway, so that Ganning could not support Yue Fei; Huang Zhong and Wen Ping continued to lead the army to attack the camp, the two sides fought again for a day, Yuan Yao repeatedly sent troops from the city to harass the Jingzhou army, the Jingzhou army could not attack the city with all its strength, and the two sides lost thousands of soldiers again, and in the end it was still a failure!

That night, in order to prevent each other's attack, both sides sent countless sentinels to explore the horses between the state tomb and the Jingzhou military camp between the more than ten miles of distance, and the scouts on both sides fought fiercely at night, with heavy casualties!

On the third day, the two sides lost more than 1,000 soldiers again, and the Jingzhou army still attacked the city without success!

On the fourth day, Liu Pan led the troops to attack the city again, although the Jingzhou army still attacked the city to no avail, but its naval fleet emptied the boulder reef leading to the Ganning camp, and the Jingzhou military fleet could face the Ganning naval army tomorrow!

On the fifth day, on this day, the Jingzhou army's fighting spirit broke out to the peak, Liu Pan ordered all the troops to storm the city camp of Yuan Yao's army, Liu Pan led 20,000 sailors to storm Ganning's naval army, Huang Zhong led 10,000 soldiers and horses to storm Yue Fei's camp, Wen Ping ordered 20,000 troops to storm Wei Yan's camp, and he personally led 10,000 soldiers and horses to contain the soldiers and horses in the Zhouling City.

The Jingzhou army was in full firepower, Yue Fei's battalion and Ganning's battalion were frequently in danger, but this time Wei Yan suddenly broke out, Wei Yan took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Jingzhou army, suddenly opened the walled gate, and led all the light cavalry to kill out, the siege soldiers of the Jingzhou army did not have a general who could fight with Wei Yan, under the crushing of Wei Yan's light cavalry, the Jingzhou army was suddenly in chaos, and began to rout.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wen Ping wanted to lead the army to meet Wei Yan to buy time for the Jingzhou army to reorganize the soldiers and horses, at this time, Yang Zaixing and Yue Yun led the army to lead the soldiers and horses in the city to kill, Wen Ping saw that he could only go to meet the soldiers and horses from the state tomb city first; Huang Zhong saw that the soldiers and horses attacking Wei Yan's camp were suddenly defeated, and hurriedly left Yue Fei's camp to support, at this time the Ganning Navy Dazhai was already in danger, Yue Fei had no choice but to let Huang Zhong go and go to support Gan Ning!

When Huang Zhong was supporting, he first injured Wei Yan's arm with a cold arrow, and then hit the horse to take Wei Yan and wanted to capture the king first, Wei Yan was not Huang Zhong's opponent, not to mention that now he had an arm that was injured, Wei Yan barely fought with Huang Zhong a few times, and after recognizing the gap between the two, he fled after hitting the horse!

Wei Yan's light cavalry used their lives to contain Huang Zhong, Wei Yan was able to escape, after Wei Yan escaped with his life, he hurriedly Mingjin collected his troops, Huang Zhong saw that Wei Yan had fled into the camp and it was difficult to kill him again, so he could only let go of this mind and began to pack up his troops and horses!

With Yue Fei's support, the Ganning Navy Dazhai stood firm again, and the Jingzhou army was difficult to advance half a step, just when the two armies were deadlocked, after Yue Fei and Gan Ning converged, they suddenly drove a building ship to take Liu Pan's flagship directly!

Liu Pan has already seen the martial arts of Yue Fei and Gan Ning, especially Yue Fei's combat power is even more terrifying, and it is only a matter of a few times to kill him, seeing Yue Fei and Gan Ning join forces to kill, Liu Pan knows that this battle is difficult to win, and he can only Mingjin withdraw his troops, Jingzhou Army slowly withdrew from Ganning Water Village, Yue Fei and Gan Ning did not dare to go deep alone, and then retreated to Water Village and began to pack up the soldiers and horses.

Yuan Yao saw Wei Yan returning to the army, and hurriedly followed Mingjin to collect his troops, Yang Zaixing and Yue Yun heard Mingjin's voice and hurriedly retreated, Wen Ping wanted to lead his troops to pursue, but at this time, Liu Pan's Ming Jin sound also came, Wen Ping saw that the fighter had died, so he could only put away the idea of pursuit.

After this big battle, nearly 10,000 people were killed and injured on both sides of the war, there were corpses on the wilderness, and the waterway of the Yangtze River was dyed red for dozens of miles, and the people in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River did not dare to take water and eat again!

This battle was a pot of porridge, but it still failed to win, such a result almost wiped out the spirit and fighting spirit of the Jingzhou army, Liu Pan had no choice but to truce for a few days, rectify the soldiers and horses to restore morale.

……。

Time flies by, the battle of the state tomb has lasted for more than ten days, the morale of the Jingzhou army is low and lacks the will to fight, the siege of the city for many days has almost become a waste of time, all the soldiers are not working, these days of the battle, the total of the two sides is only more than 1,000 soldiers and horses killed and wounded.

This big battle has finally come to the last moment!
