Chapter Thirty-Eight: Raid on Jiangyuan
As for Jiangyuan City, it is a small city under Wuling Mountain, which was built in the 25th year of Jianwu, and was built by Fubo General Ma Yuan to crusade against Wuling Man, and was used as a base for the advance of the army.
It's a pity that Ma Yuan died before he could leave the division, and the city also fell into the hands of the barbarians, which became the foundation for the barbarians to ravage Wuling in the future.
This city guards the main road into the mountain, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the barbarians grasp this city, they can attack, retreat can defend, and stand in an invincible position.
Liu Cong's battle against the barbarians is not a small fight, he wants to teach the barbarians a profound lesson, at the very least, it is also to sweep up the barbarians who came out of the mountain quickly.
Therefore, this city must be taken!
But the siege is not a trivial matter, and it is not easy for Liu Cong to accumulate this bit of family foundation, but he doesn't want to be consumed in a siege battle.
Therefore, the plan was set up before to let the teams going to the counties make their momentum bigger, which was to use this as bait to lure out a thousand medium barbarians in Jiangyuan City.
Without these 1,000 medium barbarians to defend the city, Jiangyuan City, which had less than 300 inferior barbarians left, was naturally no match for the 150 berserker army and the 800 Zhige army he led.
"So good! Berserk Army, Zhige Army, Target Jiangyuan City, Charge! ”
Liu Cong buckled his mask, pointed his spear, and more than a thousand cavalry immediately rushed away.
Three miles away, the cavalry came in an instant, just opened the city gate, the city gate barbarians who were stretching their waists, saw the cavalry who suddenly appeared in front of them, their faces were full of confusion.
"Help, the Han are coming......"
The brute's terrible roar had barely been heard, and a feathered arrow had already pierced his throat, leaving the rest of the sound in the brute's body.
"The city will be broken today, all the soldiers obey the order, follow me!"
Liu Cong's legs struck the horse's belly, and the horse under his crotch neighed, and rushed into the city gate, the spear was like a dragon, and without waiting for the barbarian soldiers to react, it had already pierced into its body.
Then with a hard fight, the corpse flew out more than ten meters away and smashed into the other barbarians, and seven or eight barbarians rolled into a ball.
"The general is mighty!"
The Berserker soldiers and the Zhige soldiers shouted in unison, their morale rising to the peak, and they stabbed their spears into the brute soldiers one after another.
Whether it is the personal strength of the soldiers of the Berserker Army or the personal strength of the soldiers of the Zhige Army, they are already above the inferior barbarians, and the number is three times that of the barbarians.
At this time, morale is raised to the peak, the number is outnumbered, the strong is weak, the heart is unintentional, and the morale is low with the peak, this war is as simple as a child playing home.
It took less than a stick of incense for the three hundred barbarians to announce the annihilation of the whole army, and after a cup of tea, the blood-red banner was raised in Jiangyuan City.
Jiangyuan City, which has been occupied by the Wuling barbarians for a hundred years and has always been a pain in the hearts of thousands of Han people, has returned to the hands of the Han people again.
This is the biggest victory of the Han people against Wulingman in a hundred years, and it is also the first time that Liu Cong has shouted his voice in this world!
……
Xiangyang Thorn Mansion.
"What? Cong'er conquered Jiangyuan City? How is this possible! ”
Liu Biao looked at the information in his hand, his face was dumbfounded, he knew too well the strength in Liu Cong's hands, how could he conquer Jiangyuan City with only those three thousand ordinary people?
"It's true, master, the second young master first sent soldiers to exterminate the barbarians who were plundering the villages everywhere, so as to lure out the barbarians in Jiangyuan City, and then take the opportunity to seize Jiangyuan City." The old butler said with a smile on his face.
"It's this trick, yes, yes, it seems that Cong'er has indeed grown up."
Liu Biao's face showed a hint of relief, but his brows were still locked.
"This ...... The second son has made such a great contribution, why is the old man still worried. The old butler asked.
Liu Biao sighed: "I am extremely happy that Cong'er can use a plan, but the danger of this plan is not to capture the city, but to defend the city."
Jiang Yuan held the main road of Wuling Barbarian out of the mountain, seized the city, and the back road of the barbarians outside the mountain was cut off, and they would inevitably fight back desperately. And the barbarians in the mountains will not sit idly by and ignore the danger of the barbarians outside the mountains, and will inevitably cooperate with the siege.
With such a two-sided attack, Cong'er only has 3,000 ordinary people in his hands, how can he hold Jiangyuan? ”
"Is that so?! Then the old man should hurry up and save the second son! The old butler said urgently.
Liu Biao smiled bitterly: "Saving nature is to save, but it's just ...... That's it, do your best to listen to the destiny of heaven, come here, send an order to the counties of Wuling, gather the troops of the whole county to go to Jiangyuan to support, and arrive within three days, and those who don't arrive will be beheaded! ”
……
Cai Fu.
"Liu Cong conquered Jiangyuan City? Just kidding! ”
Cai Mao squirted out a sip of tea, and her face was full of incredulity.
He knew Liu Biao's intention of sending Liu Cong to Wuling, but he didn't care, in his opinion, Liu Biao's thinking was simple.
Do you really think that relying on the fake merits of the barbarian soldiers' self-retreat, Liu Cong can settle down and even sit firmly in the position of the lord of Jingzhou in the future?
What are you kidding, the family is not stupid, who doesn't know the real situation!
So he only took this as a joke.
But unexpectedly, Nima's joke became a myth, and Liu Cong really conquered Jiangyuan City!
It was a barbarian portal, and even if the barbarians retreated, there was absolutely nothing they could get out of.
When Liu Biao first entered Jingzhou, he fought several battles with the barbarians, but failed to capture the city.
Later, the Thorn History Mansion had to be moved from Hanshou to Xiangyang, also because of this city.
Now you tell me that such a city has been taken by Liu Cong's yellow-mouthed child.
Are you sure you're not kidding me?
"Lord, this matter is true, I heard that the second prince lured the barbarian soldiers in Jiangyuan City out of the city, and then took the opportunity to steal the city, so he made a contribution in one fell swoop." The retainer said.
"Stealing the city?"
Cai Mao raised his eyebrows, and Zhanyan smiled, "I see, I'll just say, with his three thousand ordinary people, how can he conquer Jiangyuan City head-on?" It turned out to be a ruse, and it's no wonder. ”
"The lord's words are wrong, and the plan is also part of the strength, the second son is so young, he has such a plan, the future is unlimited, the lord and the princess, and it should be good." The retainer advised.
Cai Mao snorted coldly: "Hmph, it's nonsense! Huangkou is a son, but he is lucky, what kind of talent can he speak of? With a little tricking, I'll be able to get it back to its original shape! ”
"This ...... What does the Lord want? The retainer said.
Cai Mao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pondered for a moment before sneering: "Order the county lieutenants of Wuling to tell them not to rush to Jiangyuan." ”
"This, this...... The second son seized Jiangyuan, cut off the back road of the barbarians down the mountain, and would be counterattacked by the barbarians with all their might, and the assassin Shi ordered all counties in Wuling to fully support Jiangyuan, and they would be killed if they did not wait for three days, if they delayed, I am afraid that the assassin would be ruthless. The retainer said in a trembling voice.
Cai Mao laughed and said, "What about the order of the assassination? Don't you listen to the law and don't blame the people! Could it be that the assassin can still kill all the officials in Wuling? Besides, I didn't let them go, I just arrived late, pinched the barbarians into the city, and at the point of the fall of Jiangyuan, I just needed to rescue the second son. ”
