Chapter 612: The Yanzhou Army Attacks Southern Hunan (continued)
Yesterday, it was delayed because there was something wrong, so I broke off for a day, and I didn't even say anything, which is really sorry for everyone. But today, try to make up for yesterday's, thank you for your support! ――
For Huang Xu, such an important battle, winning or losing, just the first time, is enough to show the preciousness of this defensive battle. So what he cares about most is not victory or defeat, but how well he performs. If you can satisfy yourself, your father, and even your lord, then the result really doesn't matter that much, does it?
Besides, doesn't he know, just with his own people and horses in southern Hunan now, how many days can he stop the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army? Is it a day? Two days? Or three or four days? This is really bottomless in my heart, of course I hope that the longer the better, but I can't even dream of it.
At this time, Niu Jin was behind him, and the Yanzhou army was there. At this time, although Lu Su said that it was not bad to send troops, he and Zhang Liao took dozens of personal guards next to Cao Ren, because although it was true that he did not send troops, he still had to follow Cao Ren to watch the siege of the Yanzhou army and the Liangzhou army. And Lu Su can be regarded as a very good understanding, so although it is called to Cao Ren to observe the enemy, but what it actually is, everyone understands it, and it is tacitly understood-
Lu Su smiled at Cao Ren next to him: "This Niu general is very brave!" ”
Cao Ren glanced at Lu Su and said in his heart, although you Lu Zijing said so, it is true. But who knows what to actually think. Maybe you're saying it in your heart. What bravery? Still can't break the city of the Liangzhou army!
In fact, Lu Su really didn't think so, maybe he was indeed a little insincere. That's true, but I don't think so. After all, both sides are now allies, and the Yanzhou Army broke through Xiangnan as soon as possible, in fact, it was naturally beneficial to the Jiangdong Army. Therefore, Lu Su's words have moisture, but he definitely doesn't think like Cao Ren. Speaking of which, Cao Ren is a bit of a "gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain".
But even if Lu Su knew Cao Ren's thoughts, he just laughed, after all, it was for him. It's not a big deal now. In fact, Cao Ren's character, Lu Su still knows a little bit, after all, he has been in contact for a long time, so even if he knows this, it is nothing-
At this moment, Niu Jin had already taken the Yanzhou sergeants, set up a ladder truck, and began to launch a fierce attack on southern Hunan. For him. These two generals valued themselves and let themselves lead the troops, but in fact, there was no one else, and it was impossible for Guo Huai and Cao Ren to go in person. Can you not joke, but in Niu Jin's opinion, this is indeed important. So can you still show yourself well? The table is not good, then I'm sorry for my two generals.
Therefore. Don't look at it, it's the first time to try to attack, but Niu Jin also tried his best. That's how he did. Huang Xu, who was in the city, was under great pressure, and his forehead was sweating. After all, he has no experience in defending the city, he has fought with his father before, but he has no experience in defending the city. Therefore, in the face of such a fierce attack by Niu Jin with the Yanzhou army, he was indeed a little hurried at the beginning, after all, the newcomer has no experience and has not experienced this war, so he can only take his time and come step by step.
And Cao Ren, who was watching the battle in the rear, could see it clearly, and Lu Su said to Cao Ren with a smile: "Congratulations to General Cao, in less than three days, your army will definitely be able to capture southern Hunan!" ”――
As for why Lu Su said this, of course he didn't say it casually, but sincerely. In his opinion, although this Huang Xu is Huang Zhong's son, although this is not a tiger father and a dog son, Huang Xu really cannot be compared with his father. Therefore, if the city is changed to Changsha's guard Huang Zhong, Lu Su will naturally not say this, but Huang Xu, it is true, in three days, with Niu Jin's ability, the strength of the Yanzhou army is enough to break this city.
Lu Su was definitely not arbitrary, but after careful analysis, he came to a conclusion. In this regard, Cao Ren actually thinks about it, in his opinion, Niu Jin is much stronger than that Huang Xu. At least the experience of war, he can't do it, but Niu Jin has followed him for many years, and he has not attacked the city, and he has attacked it many times. But what about that Huang Xu, it looks like he hasn't guarded the city, this is really what he thinks right, isn't Huang Xu just not guarding the city.
Therefore, Cao Ren agreed with Lu Su's words, and at this time he nodded, "Thanks to Mr. Jiyan, our army will definitely work towards this goal!" ”――
Lu Su smiled and didn't say more, this Cao Ren in his opinion, is "cheap and good". But he can't say anything about this, he can do whatever people want, and he can't control it at all. As for Cao Ren, he naturally saw Lu Su's smile, but for him, although Lu Su's smile didn't seem to be a good intention, he couldn't say anything, after all, what do people mean, you know? So it's really hard to say anything, so he can only be silent.
The battle on the field is still very fierce, and there are not many soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, but they are strong in battle. And Huang Xu is indeed inexperienced and insufficient, but when he slowly fought offensive and defensive battles with the Yanzhou army led by Niu Jin, his experience was increasing. In any case, this is a huge improvement from familiar to unfamiliar, from unfamiliar to slightly familiar now. At least for Huang Xu, it is.
So slowly, slowly. He is not as rusty as before, and he can also organize the pawns effectively. Stubbornly resisted the Yanzhou army under the city.
And the Liangzhou sergeants at the head of the city, when they saw that their general was finally "on the right track". Naturally, they are in a very good mood and very happy. After all, many of them still know that this general has no experience in defending cities before. Although he was asked to defend the city, it would not be said to be "chasing ducks to the shelves", but it was almost the same. But now, this general has slowly become familiar with it, this is a good thing, at least not on the first day, let the family break the city.
Huang Xu took his own soldiers. In the city, the more he fights, the more courageous he becomes, after all, he is Huang Zhong's son, although he has not inherited all of Huang Zhong's things, and his ability is indeed inferior to his father, which is not wrong. But some things are actually pretty much the same, so even if Huang Xu is not in good health, it is indeed the first time to defend the city. But he was born as if he was born for the battlefield, so this is naturally much better than the average general who defends the city for the first time, which can be regarded as one of his advantages.
Niu Jinyan is about to climb to the top of the city. But he was forced to retreat by the Liangzhou army, and he was unhappy in his heart. Next to the ladder cart, he scolded hatefully, "Damn it." A boy with little experience actually forced Lao Tzu to retreat? ”――
But before he could get on the ladder again. Hearing his own voice, Niu Jin sighed in his heart. The heart said that the general was going to collect his troops, and he could only go back. Therefore, he had no choice but to shout to his Yanzhou sergeant, "The whole army retreats!" ”
As a result, the Yanzhou sergeants retreated like a tide, which they both knew was the first tentative attack, but this time it was quite long. Therefore, for the soldiers, they actually want to retreat early, because now that their goals have been achieved, they naturally want to retreat.
But this side didn't have Mingjin, so it could only rush forward, but at this time, the big marshal Mingjin withdrew his troops, and these people didn't have to go forward to attack the city.
Because his own appearance was good before, all Cao Ren let Niu Jin attack the city for a little longer, but Guo Huai reminded him before, which means that the general should withdraw his troops, so stop in moderation. Cao Ren understood in his heart, so he hurriedly asked the soldiers to collect the troops. He knew that even if he let the soldiers keep attacking Shonan, he wouldn't have achieved anything, so of course, it was better to collect the troops as soon as possible.
Niu Jin led the troops back to the team, and when Cao Ren saw him, he smiled and said, "Niu Jin is brave and commendable, and I hope to make persistent efforts!" ”
"No!"
Niu Jin listened to Cao Ren's praise, and he was really excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood. After all, I've been following my general for so many years, don't I know, in fact, I'm not such a general, I will praise others. At least I know that there are only a handful of times when my own general praises people. But he didn't expect that he praised himself because of the siege today, so can this still flatter him.
And Cao Ren is really sincere, he thinks that Niu Jinbiao is really remarkable, if it goes on like this, it is actually the same as what Lu Su said, and what he thinks, within three days, he will break Xiangnan! In that case, the current shortage of food on our side must be alleviated, and in this case, it is your goal. After all, there is a lack of food and grass, it's really not good, the three armies haven't moved, and the grain and grass go first, what are you going to eat if you don't have food?
Therefore, for Cao Ren, he must replenish enough grain and grass before his own grain and grass are exhausted. And from other places, even if it is Xiangyang, it is actually too late. Therefore, just like Lu Su and the others thought before, why did Cao Ren have to occupy this Xiangnan, because there is a lot of grain and grass in Xiangnan, after all, it is the city where Huang Zhong's only son is stationed, so can he not allocate enough grain to Xiangnan. Therefore, Cao Ren and Guo Huai both knew in their hearts that this Xiangnan was a city that saved their lives.
So of course, you can't share it with the Jiangdong Army, you can only have it for yourself. And Lu Su had already seen Cao Ren's thoughts, but he didn't say much. After all, his Jiangdong Army is not short of food, and if he really wants to talk about it, if he Jiangdong Army wants to transport grain, it will definitely be much faster than the Yanzhou Army. The closest place for the Yanzhou Army to be here, it was only Xiangyang, but what about the Jiangdong Army, the territory was next to Changsha.
But Cao Ren and they didn't think about it, in fact, in addition to occupying this southern Xiangnan, it was not that they couldn't borrow grain from the Jiangdong Army, but after their discussion, he and Guo Huai agreed that they couldn't borrow grain from the Jiangdong Army.
As for why, it's not hard to think of. First, it is Cao Ren and Guo Huai, they really don't want Lu Su and Zhang Liao to know that their own grain and grass are now stretched, such a thing, they don't think that Lu Su will definitely not know, but they themselves know that it is one thing, if they know it from their own mouths, it is another matter. Therefore, Cao Ren and Guo Huai both thought that Lu Su must not be allowed to know this from the mouths of the two of them.
To put it bluntly, the two of them can't admit it in person, saying that they are short of food, which will definitely not happen.
Then the second is, this borrowing grain, not to mention whether people can borrow it, this is still two words. But if you borrow it, then this favor will be owed Dafa, this Cao Ren and Guo Huai are both deeply educated by Cao Cao, this favor can not be owed, try not to owe, because it is really not good to pay it back. So don't you know, this family lent you food, so what do you do to repay the favor? People will definitely not let you pay it back at this moment, and you have to delay it until the critical time, so you can't help it when the time comes.
People say it's time for you to repay the favor, can you still pay it back? (To be continued......)
