At the beginning of July 196 A.D., Liu Pan, a subordinate of Liu Biao in Youxian County, Changsha County, sent a small disaster to Yuzhang, and Yuzhang's Zhu Wei army immediately sent troops to retaliate, claiming to conquer the four counties of Jingnan with an army of 100,000, intending to exterminate Liu Pankou's army.

Under the early preparation of Zhu Wei's side, Wang Yuyan waved the banner of Zhu Wei, first followed the Yuzhang River waterway to Yichun County, then turned into the waters of the Xiangjiang River and continued to enter Changsha County along the tributary waterway of the Xiangjiang River, and then the army landed in Liling County, turned to the official road and went to Youxian.

And Liu Pan of Youxian did not lead the army to meet him in the field, but only stuck to Youxian, and seemed to be preparing to face off against Wang Yuyan's army under the name of Zhu Wei in Youxian.

The east and west sides of Youxian County are surrounded by mountains, hills are embedded with each other, and the central part is a hill and plain landform, but because the east and west mountains meet in Youxian County, it has also caused the interlacing of the leylines in Youxian County, resulting in a lot of faults, which leads to the division and fragmentation of the surface, and there are many ravines and cliffs blocking the road.

At the same time, there are two major water systems in Youxian County, which are tributaries of the Xiangjiang River, and the river water flows into the ravine along these surface faults to form a series of ditches, and flows into the cliffs to form a cliff stream.

Therefore, when Wang Yuyan's army entered the territory of Youxian County, many times the flat land that could be seen at a glance had to be detoured because of the ravines and cliffs formed by the fault, or the bridge needed to be erected on the fault to advance.

Fortunately, the county seat of this county is not very large, it is only a small county town that can accommodate 20,000 or 30,000 people, and the county seat only has two city gates in the south and north.

Now Liu Pan and Huang Zhong of Youxian County combined with 10,000 taels or 3,000 troops, 7,000 troops are stationed in the county seat, which should be led by Liu Pan himself, and Huang Zhong led 5 or 6,000 troops to find a small hill five miles away from the county seat and set up a military fortress, which is a corner with Youxian County, and can support each other at any time.

Therefore, if Zhu Wei's army wants to attack the county, it must divide the troops into two places to attack and divide the troops into two places to defend, which will weaken the strength of Zhu Wei's army to attack the county town anyway.

It's just that Wei Yan is in the county seat or in Huang Zhong's camp, and it's not very clear for the time being.

However, after entering the territory of Youxian County, Wang Yuyan was also very cautious in his march, and he paid great attention to the ambush that Liu Pan might set up in the face of such terrain, so the speed of the army's advance was not very fast.

In fact, this is also Wang Yuyan's military strategic means, she is not in a hurry to attack Youxian, and hopes to give a little time to let the other Taishou of the four counties of Jingnan send troops to aid Youxian.

This county is located in the southern part of Changsha County, and Changsha County, where Han Xuan, the Taishou of Changsha, is located, is located in the northern part of Changsha County.

Therefore, when Wang Yuyan's army attacked Youxian, Han Xuan could unite with the reinforcements sent by the other three counties to block the back road of Wang Yuyan's army, so as to flank Wang Yuyan's army with Youxian, and harass Wang Yuyan's army to connect to Yuzhang's logistics supply line.

But this is also a flaw deliberately exposed by Wang Yuyan, in order to attract Han Xuan, Liu Du, Lingling, Zhao Fan, and Jinxuan, Guiyang, and Wuling, to bring troops to aid Youxian, so as to reduce the difficulty for Zhu Wei to attack Guiyang and Lingling over the mountain.

Theoretically speaking, Liu Pan of Youxian County, as the nephew of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, has a relatively special identity, and now he is surrounded and suppressed by Wang Yuyan's 100,000 army of Yuzhang under the banner of Zhu Wei, and it is estimated that Han Xuan, Liu Du, Zhao Fan, and Jin Xuan will not sit idly by.

Wang Yuyan's attack on Youxian this time actually has the meaning of encircling the point to send reinforcements, and to prepare for the battle, you can first eat the reinforcements brought by Han Xuan and them, and then concentrate on dealing with Liu Pan and Huang Zhong in Youxian.

Therefore, after Wang Yuyan led the troops into the territory of Youxian, he did not rush to attack Youxian, and after slowly approaching the direction of Youxian County, he found a place to set up camp first, stabilized the barracks, and then sent a large number of scouts to investigate the military situation of Youxian, and secretly sent scouts to the direction of Changsha City, the county of Changsha County, to monitor Han Xuan's movements.

Almost three days after Zhu Wei's army arrived in Youxian, Wang Yuyan opened the camp with Pang Yan, Ling Cao, Mu Lan, and Chen Qi, and commanded about 15,000 Xionglu battalions and 5,000 Chinese army archers and cavalry, 3,000 Chinese army guards Bai Yu battalion, 5,000 Chinese saber and shield soldiers and 5,000 auxiliary soldiers, and officially launched the first battle against Youxian.

As for the remaining 5,000 Xionglu battalion infantry and 5,000 auxiliaries, Wang Yuyan arranged for Teng Yuyan to lead them, and they still stayed in the camp.

Of course, as Wang Yuyan led the troops to Youxian, Liu Pan and Huang Zhong in Youxian County naturally sent a large number of scouts to monitor the movements of Zhu Wei's military camp.

Now that the movement in Zhu Wei's military camp has been discovered, Liu Pan of Youxian County has quickly made defensive preparations on the city wall of Youxian County, and Huang Zhong has inevitably gathered soldiers and horses in the military village on the hill on the side, and watched the movements of Zhu Wei's army from afar, and dispatched a surprise attack on the military formation of Zhu Wei's army at any time to respond to the defensive battle of Youxian.

It's just that the nearly 30,000 troops commanded by Wang Yuyan looked extremely stable and did not show a trace of flaws, whether they were marching or standing in formation about three miles outside the city of Youxian County.

On the outermost periphery of Zhu Wei's army commanded by Wang Yuyan is a mobile wall fortress composed of spear wall tiger cars, and then in the spear wall tiger car is a square army shield array composed of several curved sword and shield soldiers, and the military shield array of about 2,000 people is also at a certain distance from each other, but they can echo each other at any time.

Further to the inside of this army shield array is the 5,000 crossbow army formation of the Xiong Lu battalion, followed by Wang Yuyan pretending to be the core white feather battalion of the Chinese army led by Zhu Wei, playing Zhu Wei's handsome banner, and then behind is a convoy of siege equipment pushing various house cave vehicles, thunderbolt vehicles, etc., and finally the tail of the formation suppressed by 5,000 cavalry.

Looking at Wang Yuyan's army from a high place, the military array on one side looked neat and tidy, whether it was moving or standing, as if someone had pulled and arranged it with ropes.

Such a vast and boundless army of tens of thousands of people came out of the camp of Zhu Wei's army and advanced steadily, without giving people any flaws to be found at all.

Liu Pan, who was standing in the gate tower of Youxian County, and Huang Zhong, who was standing on the lookout of the hill military village, couldn't help but chuckle when they saw Zhu Wei's army in such a posture.

No matter what the combat effectiveness of Zhu Wei's army is, just by looking at the performance of this army marching and standing in formation, we can know that this army must be a well-trained elite, otherwise where would an ordinary rabble be able to get out of such a neat military column.

Wang Yuyan's army was almost three miles away from Youxian and Huang Zhong's hill military village, stopped and stood up in a stable military formation, and then under the beating of war drums, Pang Yan carried a double-headed mace, drove a sturdy war horse, and led three thousand sword and shield hands from the military formation to the direction of the north city gate of Youxian County.

"Well......, a certain family is Pang Yan, but Liu Pan is in the city, dare to come out and fight with a certain family! If you don't have the guts, a certain family has heard that there is a general named Huang Zhong on your side, and you dare to come out and fight with a certain family! ”

Pang Yan stopped at a stone's throw outside the city gate, and he didn't need other loud soldiers to help shout, just shouting in his own voice, so that everyone on the wall of Youxian County could hear it clearly.

Liu Pan is also a brave general in Jingzhou, now he is only twenty-four or five years old, his face is also a little posture, he is about one meter eight tall, his figure is also strong, and he holds a long lance knife in his hand, but he has learned knife skills from Huang Zhong, so his sword skills and martial arts are also good.

It's just that now after listening to Pang Yan's invitation to fight and seeing Pang Yan's posture, Liu Pan was secretly a little surprised, of course he had also heard of Pang Yan's name, and knew that Pang Yan was the number one general under Zhu Wei's account.

This Liu Pan has a famous general of the Three Kingdoms like Huang Zhong by his side who can learn martial arts, and naturally he can be regarded as having seen the posture and bearing of the masters of the world, so now Liu Pan can see at a glance that Pang Yan's strength is by no means boastful.

Looking at Pang Yan, Liu Pan couldn't help but look at the generals around him, he didn't dare to go out to face the battle, but hoped that the generals around him could try Pang Yan's strength......
