The twenty-first episode Wen Zhongye retired and was captured
Zhang Yi surrounded Xiangyang, and he had no intention of attacking. Xiangyang has been run by Liu Biao for more than ten years and has become a big city. Moreover, there are many families in the city, and there are many private soldiers in each family, and as long as these people are gathered, there will be thousands of them. There are tens of thousands of people in Xiangyang City, even if there is more food, it will not last long, and Zhang Yi is sure that he will besiege the city for a year.
Since Zhang Yi chose to besiege the city without attacking, he had to find a gap in other places, and Zhang Yi set his sights on Wenpin and Wang Wei's troops. Zhang Yi deliberately let go of the person sent by Liu Biao to ask for help, and asked him to go to the country to send a letter to Wen Ping.
Wen Ping is also at a loss now, he himself was surrounded by Li Jing, if Zhang Shun hadn't left, his military camp could still be in and out of the water, he might have chosen to break through a long time ago.
At this time, Liu Biao's messenger arrived.
"What? Xiangyang is besieged? Wen Ping was taken aback, he never thought that Xiangyang would be surrounded, "What's the matter?" ”
The envoy hurriedly said: "Zhang Yi broke through Jiangling, but in a few days, he sent troops to besiege Xiangyang. ”
Zhang Yun rushed over and grabbed the messenger: "Jiangling is broken?" And what about my uncle? ”
The envoy said: "Cai Dudu has not heard from him, and he may have encountered an accident. ”
After Zhang Yun heard this, he angrily pushed the messenger away, "This is impossible! When pigs fly! ”
Apparently he could not accept this fact.
Wen Ping shouted at Zhang Yun: "General Zhang, don't be impatient!" ”
Wang Wei went up and grabbed Zhang Yun and said to the messenger: "You explain the situation in Xiangyang clearly." ”
The envoy told all the information about Xiangyang, and after hearing this, the three of them let the envoy rest, and he also ran for a day and a night.
When the messenger had gone down, the three of them began to take counsel.
Wang Wei said: "Xiangyang is besieged, but someone can still come out to deliver the letter, will there be fraud in it?" ”
Zhang Yun said: "I know this person, he is a general of the lord, not from the enemy's side. ”
Wen Ping said: "I'm afraid that Zhang Yi deliberately released it!" ”
"What then?" Zhang Yun asked eagerly.
"There is no other way!" Wen Ping said: "Whether it is a plan or not, we have to return to Xiangyang!" ”
After Wang Wei and Zhang Yun heard this, they were silent for a while! Their current situation is indeed like this, Li Jing has been surrounded by land, and it is impossible to transport grain. Now all the supplies need to be transported by water, and the grain ships have to pass through the blockade of the enemy naval army, Su Fei does not have Huo Jun's psychological burden, and he can grab a grain ship.
If you continue to defend in the country, you can only hold on for more than a month, and you can't do it if you want to defend for a long time. And there is no point in continuing to defend, if Xiangyang is captured, everything will be meaningless.
Retire! Wen Ping decided to retire without thinking. He looked at Zhang Yun and said, "General Zhang, this time to withdraw troops, your naval army is the top priority, we must ensure that we have enough ships." ”
Zhang Yun said: "The boat is definitely not enough! And if we were to return to Xiang*** by water, it wouldn't work. Our warship is much worse than Zhang Yi's, and my uncle should have been ambushed, so he didn't return to Jiangling. ”
Wen Ping nodded, "Then find a place to transport us out, and then the navy will go ashore with us, and after returning to Xiangyang, break through into the city with us." ”
Zhang Yun agreed, he didn't have a good plan, it was impossible to keep the warship now, without the help of the land army, he couldn't even defeat Su Fei's sailors, and sooner or later he would be wiped out. It's better to go overland! It will be much safer to go by land with the protection of clerical employment.
The discussion is established, and the appointment is not delayed, and the more it is delayed, the greater the variables. Overnight, Wen Ping asked Zhang Yun to transport his men across the opposite bank, the country of Yan is in the north of the Han River, and Xiangyang is in the south of the Han River, if you don't go ashore on the south bank, you will have to cross the Han River under the obstruction of Zhang Shun's army near Xiangyang, which is looking for death.
On the south bank, there are two roads, whether to take Yicheng County or Kaiguo. It's farther to Yicheng, but it's safe, and it's closer to Yiguo, but it's dangerous.
Wenpin is entangled, and picking a route is also a manifestation of a strategy. Just like in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Cao Cao picked a route, and there was a plan in it.
Wen Ping chose Yicheng, he wanted to choose a safe point of video.
In Yicheng County, Pang Tong completed the final deployment. This was the first time Pang Tong led the troops, and there were not many soldiers he led, only 3,000 people, but Zhang Yi gave him a deputy, a lieutenant named Liu Chong. This Liu Chong is still quite good, and he is a general.
In the city of Ye, Zhang Yi also made the final preparations. He had already figured out how to deal with Wen Ping, and Wen Ping had only four or five thousand people left, plus the navy army was only seven thousand people.
Zhang Yi had already expected that Wen Ping's would return from the south of the Han River, this is Yangmou! forced Wen Ping to return from the south of the Han River, and he had no choice. If Wen Ping chooses to return from the north of the Han River, Xiangyang will be in danger. If Wenpin really chose the north of the Han River, Zhang Yi really had no way to deal with him, and this strategy was to calculate Wenpin's loyalty.
It turns out that Wenpin is very loyal! He led his army to the outside of Yicheng County, but was blocked.
Wen Ping's face changed suddenly, and he immediately turned his horse's head and shouted loudly: "Withdraw quickly!" Evacuate! ”
However, before his words could be heard, several teams came out from behind and surrounded them. Li Jing led the army to rush behind Wenpin's army, Qin Qiong rode on a war horse, and led one hundred and ten cavalry to rush up directly, directly rushing away from Wenpin's scattered military formation. With a casual stab of the spear in Qin Qiong's hand, he stabbed an enemy soldier to death, and his ability on the battlefield was displayed to the greatest extent.
Qin Qiong rushed left and right, killing heartily! But in Wen Ping's eyes, this is a nightmare, he has never seen such a fierce general, "Quick! Shoot him! Shoot him! ”
The bow and arrow began to shoot at Qin Qiong, and a stray arrow shot at Qin Qiong's shoulder, but he broke it without looking at it and continued to rush and kill!
In less than an instant, Qin Qiong was hit by four or five arrows in his body, and his body was covered with blood. There is his own, but more of it is the enemy's!
The Ministry of Culture and Recruitment was dumbfounded when they saw Qin Qiong so powerful! Seeing Qin Qiong rushing over, they all avoided it, as if they had seen a ghost.
Li Jing and Pang Tong immediately took advantage of the situation to wave their troops to attack, and the Ministry of Cultural Recruitment collapsed directly.
Two hours later, the battle ended. Pang Tong went over to make peace with Li Jing, and as soon as he said a few words, he saw the soldiers coming over with three people pressed.
"General, we have captured Wen Ping, Wang Wei, and Zhang Yun!" The sergeant reported.
