Three miles to the west of the Anzhou military camp on the west bank of the river, the southern army of the Great Zhou Dynasty is arrayed, and there are countless wooden shield carts and curtain carts distributed among the crowds, and a big war is coming.

The Anzhou defenders on the west side of the pontoon bridge built a big village as a stronghold, and built a small village on the periphery of its west side to do cover, the small village is divided into three places on the left, the middle and the right to defend the main village, and the enemy attack is the first to bear the brunt of the village.

Therefore, Sima Zheng Wanqing, the chief general and general of the defenders, mobilized the defenders, with Zhongzhai as the core, and the left and right villages as the two wings, ready to resist the attack of the southern army.

More than 2,000 soldiers under the command of Yuwenwen and a thousand defenders set up a formation on the right flank of Zhongzhai, and 3,000 people in front of Zhongzhai and 3,000 on the left flank together with the defenders in each village to resist the enemy attack approaching in front of them.

"It's coming so fast." Xu Shao stood next to Yu Wenwen and looked at the black and oppressive enemy army in the distance, sighing, the enemy army in front of him who was about to attack the camp was stagnant a few miles away.

"They're camping." Yu Wenwen glanced at it with a clairglass and smiled bitterly, according to the military information previously explored, when the Anzhou army crossed the river three days ago and marched to the southwest to Fancheng, the imperial court's Zhengnan army was still at the east end of the Wuguan Ancient Road, where there was about three hundred and twenty miles to this side

According to the normal marching speed of the army, it is about forty miles a day, and this section of the road is now completed by the other party in three days, which means that the marching speed of the army will travel a hundred miles in the next few days.

During the Three Kingdoms, Sima Yi led a large army to assault Shangyong's Meng Da, who marched 1,200 miles, and arrived at Shangyong in only eight days, and the general was caught off guard by Meng Da, who thought it would take a month for the other party to arrive.

Meng Da's basis was that the marching speed of the army was only forty or fifty miles a day, but Sima Yi Kai hung a hurried march 'Keri' arrived, and now it seems that the southern army has also arrived at 'Keri'.

Therefore, the opponent's large army should rest, and as for the troops who are now preparing to attack their own camp, I am afraid that the troops who have arranged in advance to preserve their physical strength will attack while the pontoon bridge is broken.

In these years, there was no walkie-talkie, and the other party calculated the time when the army arrived here, and then removed the embankment that intercepted the river upstream and released the water, and washed away the pontoon bridge by water attack, so that the east and west defenders of the pontoon bridge could not take care of each other, and the already small defenders were cut down partially.

At this time, the army that arrived 'justly' was able to launch an attack on the isolated defenders of the west bank and eat it, and then the army camped here to wait for the main force of the Anzhou army to come back and fight bitterly.

The distance from the west bank of the pontoon bridge to Fancheng is about 40 miles, and it takes most of the day for a large army to march one way under normal circumstances, and the Anzhou army marched southwest from here three days ago to attack Fancheng.

At that time, the enemy army may have cleaned up this side and waited for work to deal with the main force of the Anzhou army that hurried back.

If the main force of the Anzhou army is in a hurry, it will cause the soldiers and horses to be exhausted, then the enemy army that has rested for half a day will be able to 'wait for work' today.

Let the enemy enter the decisive battle at the time and place of his choice, and at his own pace, so that he will invisibly have the upper hand as soon as the war starts, which is some of Yu Wenwen's speculations about the purpose of the imperial army's use of troops this time.

According to common sense, the army sent to attack the pontoon bridge can only use cavalry if it wants to be fast, so the primary defense target of the Anzhou defenders at the pontoon bridge is the surprise attack of the opponent's cavalry, and as for dealing with the ensuing army, it is the main force of the Anzhou army that conquers Fancheng and returns here.

The Anzhou army's attack on Fancheng this time was to hit the other side with a time difference, but now it was beaten by the other side with a time difference, and combined with its behavior of building a dam upstream, this seems to be a long-planned strategy.

"Looks like everyone isn't stupid!" Yuwen Wen muttered to himself, the four phalanxes under his command still formed a '┻' formation into a spear hedgehog to prepare for a bloody battle, because the enemy was surrounded on three sides, so the cavalry was useless, Yuwen 15 led the three hundred cavalry in the camp to count the ants.

After looking around for a while, he noticed a flag fluttering in the middle of the military formation on the opposite side, because it was a 'Yang' character on it, and he wondered which historical figure the other party was.

It can't be Yang Jian's father and son, so it should be other generals surnamed Yang, there are not many generals surnamed Yang who can lead the troops as the head of the march during this period, and Yang Su, the great minister of the Sui Dynasty and the prince of Qinghe County, is one of them.

In July last year, Marshal Wei Xiaokuan led a large army to attack Xiangzhou's governor Chi Hui, and Yang Su, as one of the marching commanders, went out with the army to fight against Xingzhou Thorn Shi Yu Wenxuan in Xingzhou, defeated him and beheaded him.

Because of the change in the battle situation, Yang Su was arranged to guard the main road and did not participate in the battle of Yecheng between Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Chijiong, and the result of that battle was reversed because of Yuwenwen, resulting in a crushing defeat of the imperial army.

However, Yang Su still followed the historical trajectory and was awarded the title of 2,000 households in Qinghe County, so Yu Wenwen was very much looking forward to the general surnamed Yang on the opposite side being the famous Yang Su in the future.

So when you wait for this 'brush copy clearance', if you can pick up any "Yang Gong Secret Treasure" treasure map, it will be interesting.

Just when Yuwenwen was 'thinking about it', Sima Zheng Wanqing, the head of the Anzhou Army Dazhai, stood in the enemy building and looked at the enemy army on the opposite side with a solemn expression.

These camps were built in a hurry, originally to defend against cavalry raids, not to deal with a large number of infantry sieges, according to the original plan, they were to hold here for a few days, and wait for the main force of the Anzhou army to conquer Fancheng and then turn back.

The date given by the governor Yu Wenliang is that the time on the road back and forth is no more than four days, Zheng Wanqing knows that he has powerful siege equipment, so he also thinks that the army can capture Fancheng in two days.

The march took two days to go back and forth, and it took one day to make siege equipment, and the siege was only one day, so Zheng Wanqing was convinced that he could hold the pontoon bridge.

As a result, the performance of the imperial army was surprising, and regardless of how the pontoon bridge had been broken and how the other side had reached the speed of a hundred miles of daily march, it was now necessary to find a way to hold on to the day until the return of the army tomorrow.

There are not many enemy buildings in the camp, one is to feel that there is no need to come, and there is no time to build, a main village and three small villages are mainly for the defenders to camp, and they do not plan to defend for a long time, so the wall is also composed of wooden fences, and can not withstand the attack.

A slightly more effective measure was to defend against the cavalry, digging an arc-shaped trench outside the village, the ditch was not deep but wide enough, wide enough for a horse to cross, and there were many horse rejections between the villages to prevent the enemy cavalry from attacking.

These measures are of little use to the enemy infantry that is about to attack now, so it is still necessary to rely on human lives to fill it, and their own strength is less than 20,000, while the enemy army preparing to attack in front of them looks to be 40,000, which is not counting the main force of the army behind.

Zheng Wanqing felt that the enemy's troops were sufficient, and only wheel warfare was needed to exhaust the physical strength of his own soldiers, and his own already pitiful cavalry could not be used under the siege of three sides, so he really didn't know how long he could withstand it......

Yang Su, the head of the march, stood in the middle army formation and squinted at the Anzhou military camp opposite, he was the main general of the southern army's attack on the camp this time, according to the goal set by the marching marshal Liang Shiyan, the goal was to 'eat' the Anzhou army in front of him before sunset, so that the main force of the Anzhou army attacking Fancheng would never have a chance to turn around.

In the past year, it is not only Yu Wenliang, the governor of Anzhou, who has been preparing for the war, but Prime Minister Yang Jian has also made a lot of efforts to solve the other party.

At the beginning of June, Wei Chi Hui's 'pseudo-Zhou' began to move, Yang Jian knew that Anzhou Yuwenliang would also take advantage of the fire to rob and simply strike first, he killed Yuwenliang's brother Yuwenchun's family for the crime of rebellion, and immediately appointed marching marshal Liang Shiyan to lead the army from Chang'an out of Wuguan to Jingzhou Governor's Mansion.

When Yu Wenliang issued a letter to attack Chang and Cai Erzhou, the army had already crossed the Qinling Mountains from the Wuguan Ancient Road and entered the Jingzhou boundary, and when the other party occupied Chang and Caizhou, the army had rested for several days.

In order to set up a suspicious formation, they specially did not arrive at Jingzhou Prefecture Zhiyu City, and secretly built dams to store water in the water and water at the boundary of Xinye County.

This is a strategy planned from the beginning, in order to put the main force of the Anzhou Army in one pot.

If the Anzhou army wants to attack the Jingzhou Governor's Office, it must first take Chang and Cai Erzhou on the west side of Suizhou, and then take Fancheng across the river to the north of Xiangyang.

The newly built naval army in Xiangyang was not the opponent of the Fancheng naval army, so the Anzhou army had to attack by land if it wanted to take Fancheng, so the main force of the Anzhou army led by Yu Wenliang had to cross the mouth of the two rivers to attack Fancheng in the southwest after taking Chang and Cai Erzhou.

The opportunity is here, from the time when the main force of the Anzhou army crossed the mouth of the two rivers to the time when Fancheng was captured and then returned to the vicinity of the mouth of the two rivers.

The army had to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river, and this pontoon bridge was also the throat of the only land grain route of the Anzhou army, so once the imperial army cut off and ensured that there was no pontoon bridge to cross the river, the Anzhou army could only rely on Xiangyang south of the Han River to transport grain and grass from the waterway by boat.

The premise is that they can take Fancheng!

Combined with the lessons learned from the loss of Xiangyang, the imperial court has transformed Fancheng into a poisonous bait for the Anzhou army to bite in the mouth but unable to swallow: try every means to delay the time for the other party to occupy the city, with the goal of defending it for a month.

The city is in the navy, and when the other party bites this bait, it is already doomed, and it is impossible to obtain food and grass supplies from the waterway.

Therefore, the southern army waited until the Anzhou army crossed the mouth of the two rivers and immediately marched in a hurry, and a large number of baggage had already been transported by boat to Jianyang in Xinye County by boat in advance, and from there they set off again, and the army was lightly armed, day and night, and rushed to the west bank of the pontoon bridge at the mouth of the two rivers in only three days.

At the same time, the embankment was broken and the pontoon bridge was broken, and by the way, the defenders on both sides of the river were isolated, as long as the defenders on the west bank were eaten, and then the army could be firmly nailed here, and no more pontoon bridge would be allowed to cross the river.

As soon as the land grain route was cut off, and the waterway was harassed by the Fancheng naval army, the grain could not be transported, so the more than 100,000 soldiers in Anzhou ate their horses and chewed the stored grain, and they would soon be eaten up.

Unless the Anzhou army fights hard to survive the Jedi, the southern army is ready to set up a fortress on the west bank of these two estuaries until the day when the opponent's army is in turmoil.

Therefore, Yang Su's task now is to take down the Anzhou military camp in front of him, and then camp by the river, and the Anzhou military camp on the opposite side does not care, as long as the west bank of the river is controlled, so that the Anzhou army can no longer transport grain and grass to cross the river and send it to the west bank.

The second task of taking the camp is to pile up all the heads of the enemy army into Jingguan, so that the Anzhou army that has returned will see what kind of fate it will be to follow Yuwenliang and his son against the imperial court.

Then on their own, they will shoot a large number of letters into the other party's camp: as long as they solve Yu Wenliang and a cadre of henchmen, then the court can not blame the past!
