Chapter 572: Huang Zu was attacked
"If these things are not resolved, then he Montaigne will not have to bring troops, and of course you and the state must help Montaigne."
"Your Majesty, please!" Yue Fei raised his head and lifted his spirit.
"This time, I am not going to send troops from Bingzhou, but from Jizhou, and I will not go to the expedition in person. And your task is not to ask, but to pressurize, to assist. Liu Wei said to Yue Fei.
"Wechen is puzzled!"
"Your duty to merge the state is to put pressure on Hedong and Zuo Fengling, so that Chang'an does not dare to transfer the people and horses of these two counties, reduce the pressure on the army of Montaigne and the East Road, and you need to help Montaigne's army transport grain, grass, and materials to keep the food route of Montaigne's army, although you and the state army cannot participate in the war, the responsibility is still great." Liu Wei admonished.
"Wechen understands!"
……
Jingzhou, Guiyang County,
Huang Zu, Liu Pan, Wen Ping, and Laihu'er gathered together.
"Where did you get this news?" Huang Zu questioned Zhao Fan, the commander of Guiyang County.
"This is sent back by Xia Guan's spies in Liangzhou, there must be no doubt." Zhao Fan said confidently.
"What to do!" Huang Zu looked at Liu Pan and the others.
"As the saying goes, the first strike is strong, and then the first attack suffers, while that Xiang Yu is in Huiji, we will directly send troops to destroy the army in Liangzhou, and then contact Cao Cao to attack Xiang Yu, I will see how Xiang Yu resists." Liu Pan said in a deep voice.
"You two?" Huang Zu looked at Wen Ping again and came to protect his son.
"I don't have any ideas, it's up to you to fight or stay. It is better to fight and not to fight. Wen Ping said casually.
"I don't think I should fight!" Laihu'er objected.
"Why?" Huang Zu stared at Laihu'er.
"The enemy's main general, Xiang Yan, is the commander of the entire Xiang army, old and calculating, experienced in a hundred battles, if this battle can not be won, then it will directly offend the Xiang family, and the peace of my Jingzhou will be ruined, and even if he successfully defeats the enemy on the opposite side to get rid of Xiang Yan, but that will also anger Xiang Yu, if Xiang Yu is desperate to break the net with my Jingzhou fish, how many soldiers and people will I have to sacrifice in Jingzhou. Don't talk about Cao Cao, that Cao Cao doesn't fall into the well is my blessing in Jingzhou. ”
"Xiang Yan is just a seventy-year-old veteran, Xiang Yan's soldiers and horses are only 30,000 horses, we have 50,000 people, and I am afraid that he will not succeed, not to mention that Xiang Yu, after we destroyed his grandfather Xiang Yan's 30,000 people, he only has 50,000 people left in the entire Xiang family, am I still afraid of him 50,000 people in Jingzhou, Jingzhou has an army of 300,000 people, and I am afraid of his small Xiang family. I see that you are afraid of death when you come to protect your child. Liu Pan reprimanded angrily.
"You! Sling the bull! said wildly, for the sake of a clan, how many people will be lost, and then my Jingzhou can only let other princes sit on the profits of the fisherman. Lai Hu'er argued.
"Okay, there's no need to quarrel anymore, now Liu Pan is the main battle, come to protect the children, and the civil employment is neutral, and a certain meaning is also a war, while the Xiang clan has not yet fully generated arrogance, it is the best policy to destroy them as soon as possible." Huang Zu opened his mouth and said, Huang Zu stood on Liu Pan's side.
"Alas!" Laihu'er was helpless, shook his hand and left.
"Lord Zhao, the transfer of grain and grass and ordnance will trouble you, General Ben is preparing to crusade against the Xiang clan in five days." Huang Zu said to Zhao Fan.
"No problem, this matter is on the lower officials." Zhao Fan agreed.
"There's Lord Lao Zhao!"
"Liu Pan, explore the Xiang family's camp, the main army, Xiang Yan's whereabouts will be handed over to you, you only have three days, be sure to find out." Huang Zu instructed Liu Pan.
"No!"
……
"The front is where Xiang Yan's army is located." Liu Pan pointed to an earthen city in the distance and said.
"I really can't understand why Xiang Yan's army gathered in this city, this city is dilapidated, the city walls are not high, not strong, and there is no moat, it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, is Xiang's main army really here?" Wen Ping said suspiciously.
"My people have inquired many times, and there is no doubt that Xiang's army is in this city." Liu Pan firmly believed.
"Okay, whether you're in this city or not, since you're here, you have to take this city down, otherwise it's a joke to go back empty-handed." Huang Zu said unhappily.
"No!"
"General Wen, you take 10,000 horses and kill them from the left side, and Huang Zu, you take 10,000 soldiers and horses around the right wing. The rest of the army followed the general and fought in from the front. Huang Zu instructed, because of disagreement, Lai Hu'er did not come this time, but took the men and horses to guard Guiyang County.
"No!"
……
"Kill! Kill! About two hours later, countless shouts of killing sounded around this weak earthen city, and tens of thousands of people were killed in three directions.
"Pass the order down and hold the city!" The city guards shouted.
"Since you're here, let you have no return." What Huang Zu and Liu Pan didn't know was that the news of attacking Jingzhou was released by Xiang Yan, the purpose was to lure the people of Jingzhou to take the initiative to attack, and when Liu Pan's people were investigating around, he had already found out, so he took the initiative to go to this city, the purpose was to lure the army of Jingzhou to come.
This earthen city is indeed as Huang Zu said, the city wall is low, not solid, the city wall is damaged, if you want to defend the city will be very expensive, but this is not the reason why Xiang Yan values this city and chooses to ambush the Jingzhou army in this city, the important thing is the terrain around this city, as well as the situation in the city.
The location of this city is a position surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is only one entrance, and there is no other shelter outside the earth city except for the uneven weeds, after the Jingzhou army entered the valley, Xiang's army found them, and because the city is uninhabited, the houses inside are destroyed, and the collapse of the collapse brings the chaos of the terrain in the city, extending in all directions, like a maze, extremely complicated.
In just half an hour, the Jingzhou army broke through the city wall and killed the city at the cost of less than a thousand people.
But when the Jingzhou army entered the city, they were dumbfounded, and Wen Ping, who was the leader, had a feeling of being deceived, because the city was deserted houses, stone bricks, clods of soil, there was no complete road and complete houses, and after the cavalry came in, there was no way out, and the army was crowded in one place.
"The order goes down, the cavalry withdraws, and everyone is in a team of five, search this city, and find out all the people of the Xiang clan for this general." The mistake has been made, and Wen Ping can only make a mistake to the end, of course, he believes that his 50,000 army will never sink in this small ruined city.
"Go and inform the two generals Huang and Liu, and tell them the situation, I am afraid that it will take a while for the complicated battle in the city to end." Wen Ping commanded his lieutenant general.
"No!"
……
The people hired by Wen soon found Huang Zu and informed Huang Zu of the situation in the city.
"You can't delay time, how many people can be hidden in this small city, and the army can all be killed, then you can turn this city upside down, notify it, let all the infantry kill it, and let the cavalry dismount and kill the general." Huang Zu said angrily, because at this time Huang Zu also understood that he had been deceived, so he was ready to vent his anger on this city, Huang Zu made a decision in his heart that after this battle, no enemy in the city will be left, and this city will disappear forever.
However, what Huang Zu and the others didn't know was that a huge army was constantly approaching Taniguchi, with high fighting spirit, and the leader was a veteran with a long white beard.
Sure enough, after a large number of Jingzhou troops entered the city, Xiang's soldiers were constantly found and killed, and fierce battles unfolded in the city.
……
"Watch the back!" Liu Pan shouted, and when Liu Pan turned around, he found a huge Xiang army.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Tens of thousands of arrows appeared densely in mid-air and flew towards the Jingzhou army.
"Shield, shield, enemy, enemy!" Liu Pan hurriedly shouted.
There is nothing around, except for the shield, and there are war horses everywhere, and the soldiers of the Jingzhou army have nowhere to hide, but the shield can only be part of it to resist arrows, so many war horses have become the "shields" of these soldiers
"Poof, poof, poof, poof, poof......"
The arrows did not have long eyes, and the moment they fell, countless soldiers and horses fell in pools of blood.
"Kill, kill!"
