As long as Chen Han didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, he would definitely occupy these places, and then set up a defense of the river, in case the Donglai naval army swept along the Dongjiang River like last time, forcing them to sign a covenant under the city.

Sure enough, Dona, the king of Benhan County, said: "Don't be afraid of General Yu, Lord Xu jokes, my county and country have all fallen, and now there are only two big cities in Mashan and Jinshan and a small city in Hedong." ”

I'll go!

It's so TM incompetent.

Xu Yi, Yu Ban, and Zang Ba wanted to scold their mother.

If you spread out the map, you will know that this Mashan and Jinshan are the land near the sea in the south of Benhan County, and if it weren't for the sea, it is estimated that it would have been captured by the rebels of Chenhan County.

Although the small city of Hedong is not near the sea, it is close to Huanghai County, which is a small border town, and the commander of the Third Army entered from there.

If they are lost, they are probably still in Huanghai County.

"And how many troops do you have?" Xu Yi asked.

Dona, the king of Benhan County, said very shamefully: "There are less than four thousand, and the others are either dead or have run away!" ”

"Report! The king is not good, Mashan is lost! "Right here, someone came in and hurried back to report.

Dona, the king of Benhan County, said to the three of them helplessly: "Now there are less than two thousand!" ”

"......" Xu Yi, Yu Ban, Zang Ba.

"Three adults, you rest first, I will go down first, if you have any orders." The atmosphere was awkward for a moment, and Dona, the king of Benhan County, bowed back.

The three of them nodded in agreement, and after Dona left, Xu Yi said: "Now our first mission into the county is here, to recapture Mashan City!" ”

Zang said domineeringly: "Don't wait for the water army? ”

There is a naval army to recapture Mashan, which can get twice the result with half the effort.

Xu Yi shook his head: "I have seen the map drawn by Zi Ke and them, although Jinshan is south, it is still very far from the coast, and the navy will go around a large island coast when it comes in, so the first place where we and Zi Ke and them will meet on the waterway of Benhan County should be in Mashan."

Starting from Mashan, it is also convenient for the navy to enter the Luodong River, so we must take Mashan over, otherwise it will be difficult to get in touch when the navy comes, and it will be delayed. ”

"The most important thing is that there is no military rations, so it is difficult to continue to advance?" Yu Ban is well versed in the way of using soldiers, and he looks at the problem more comprehensively.

Xu Yi nodded: "That's right, grain and grass are what I'm most worried about, you have also seen Dona's appearance like a mourner, it is estimated that Jinshan City does not have too much surplus grain to support our army." ”

Now there are 5,000 people in Jinshan, and there are 6,000 people behind, and the grain and grass of more than 10,000 people are all in the navy, and if they can't get in touch and establish a contact point, it means that once they have no food to eat, let alone attack, they will have to retreat to Huanghai County.

Once retreated, it was not only an important blow to morale, but also an important weakening of the prestige of the Donglai army.

Before the battle was fought, they were defeated and retreated.

The impact was too great for them to set this precedent.

Since you don't have a choice, let's just do it. So Zang overbearing: "Then let's fight!, I'll be the vanguard, and Wen will be the leader." ”

Xu Yi said: "Feasible! I took 3,000 soldiers from the Second Army with Xuangao and 2,000 soldiers from the second echelon to attack Mashan first, Wen Ze took 2,000 soldiers from the Second Army and 2,000 soldiers from the second echelon to stay in Jinshan, and 2,000 temporarily stopped in the small city of Hedong. ”

Yu Ban said: "Okay! I'll stay in Jinshan! ”

Originally, Yu Ban was the captain of the Third Army, but Xu Yi was considered a military advisor with the army, and there was no problem with this arrangement, so Yu Ban naturally agreed.

Soon Zang Ba and Xu Yi took 5,000 men and horses to recapture Mashan.

Night!

In a cave outside Jinshan City, two black shadows walked into one after the other.

"The Han army has gone to attack Mashan!"

"I know, we sent someone back to report it, I want to know if we can burn the grain and grass of the Han army in the city?"

"Can't! They left Zhengdu Lieutenant Yu Ban and 4,000 Han troops in the city, and they watched the grain and grass tightly, so they couldn't succeed at all? ”

"Can't you all come close? As you, please ban drinking, and invite him to enjoy the dancing of the beauties of our country? ”

"Hmm...... I can wipe it off! ”

"It's not a wipe, but to succeed, once the Han army has no food and grass, and it collapses without a fight, we can defeat them without a single soldier, and when their army is unstable, they can take the opportunity to ambush, you must know that once they are eliminated, the army can be killed to Huanghai County, and our country borders Huanghai County the most, and the benefits will be the greatest."

The black shadow on the opposite side was silent for a long time, obviously the other party's words made him very moved, and then he asked: "After solving the land foot soldiers of the Han army, what about the navy and the warship?" ”

"Boom...... You don't have to worry about this, we'll have a way to deal with them. ”

"Can't even I say it?"

"Of course, you still don't want to know for the time being! When the time comes, we will tell you, if you just know that we will not treat us badly. ”

The black shadow on the opposite side was silent for a long time before saying, "Okay! ”

Then two dark shadows came out of the cave and disappeared into the night in opposite directions.

The next day, Yu Ban received a battle report from the front, and the 5,000-strong army encountered an attack by the rebels of Chenhan Junguo on the way, but it was only a small force, and it was quickly repulsed and continued to set off.

Another day passed, Zang Ba and Xu Yi arrived at the foot of Mashan City, and then set up a camp to build siege equipment.

Two days later it was ready for the siege.

Relying on the advantage of bows and crossbows, coupled with the excellent siege equipment, the rebels of Chenhan Junguo who defended the city held for a certain time, and then abandoned the city and walked north.

The Han army took Mashan City, Zang Ba, and Xu Yi led the team to enter.

The next day, the rebels of Chenhan Junguo came to seize Mashan, and there were circles of rebel soldiers of Chenhan Junguo outside the city.

"Almost 120,000 people! It seems that the other party has premeditated! Xu Yi looked at the rebels outside the city and smiled.

Zang Ba said: "Ji Cai, you can still laugh, but the other party has 120,000 people, and they are fierce." ”

Xu Yi said: "Are you afraid of Xuan Gao?" ”

Zang Ba shook his head.

Xu Yi asked again: "Then will you let them attack?" ”

Zang Ba shook his head.

Xu Yi said: "Isn't this over, we are not afraid of them, and we are not afraid of them attacking us, don't you laugh?" ”

"Uh...... It seems to make some sense! Zang Ba's hand holding the sword loosened slightly, and a hearty smile appeared on his face.

Xu Yi pointed to the rebels of Chenhan Junguo under the city and said: "The other party is premeditated, and knows that our army is well-armed and has strong lethality, so it will not attack, if I were them, I would send people to surround us, and then quote Wen to rescue, and then attack Wen Ze, once Wen Ze moves, then ......"

"Then Wen Ze is not dangerous." Zang Ba said: "We don't even know how many soldiers and horses the other party has come, if these 20,000 people are just a bait to besiege us, then their main force will not be less than 30,000 or 40,000 people, no, we have to send someone to inform Wen Ze and let him not leave Jinshan City." ”
