When Liu Xuan, Liu Xiu and others led the coalition army to approach Wancheng, Yan You, the general of Nayan, and Chen Mao, the general of Zhizong, who were assigned by Wang Mang to suppress the peasant uprising, were in charge

The army arrived.

At this time, the defender of Wancheng was Cen Peng, a rare outstanding grassroots cadre in the Xinmang regime and the former magistrate of Jianyang County.

The coalition army is determined to win Wancheng, and so is Yan You, and the county magistrate Cen is caught between the official army and the coalition army and vows not to let go, so let's fight, and then talk about anything else

It's not interesting either.

However, before the start of the game, we still have to introduce a few aspects of the lineup clearly, or everyone can only look at the excitement, I want everyone to see the doorway.

Don't talk about the coalition forces for the time being, the fighting spirit is high, and whoever you see will be flattened.

Yan You is a rare and very talented senior general in the new Mang regime, but Wang Mang himself and other people in power do not pay much attention to him because of Wang Mang

I hate those cadres who have real talent and practical learning and a pragmatic style.

The dismissal of the emissary who reported the truth of the peasant uprising to Wang Mang is a case in point.

Yan You is very good at leading troops to fight.

Not long ago, Wang Chang, Cheng Dan, and Zhang Wei led the troops of Xia Jiang to Yiqiu, but they suffered his defeat.

Yan You was very dissatisfied with Wang Mang's misdeeds, but his attitude towards suppressing the peasant rebellion was also resolute and his methods were also very cruel.

In this bastard world, Yan You is destined to be a tragic figure.

Yan You was very surprised when he heard the news that Zhen Fu and Liang Qiuci were defeated and died in Yushui.

As a colleague, he knew that Zhen and Liang were fierce enough against the common people and the rebel army, and they had superior forces, so he never expected them to be defeated here

It's miserable.

At present, seeing that the coalition army was directly taking Wancheng, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly led the army to Wancheng.

He and Chen Mao strictly ordered the soldiers to keep Wancheng at any cost, and they must not let it fall into the hands of the coalition forces!

Wancheng is the county of Nanyang, and it is also the political and military center of Nanyang and the surrounding areas, and its strategic position is very remarkable.

At present, the county guard and county lieutenant of Nanyang have both died, and Wancheng is only guarded by a county-level cadre of Cen Peng with some remnants of the defeated general, which is very dangerous!

Besides, occupying Wancheng and fighting a decisive battle with the coalition forces is the best choice militarily.

Let's talk about the county magistrate Cen Peng.

Not long ago, he fled from Jianyang and was instructed by Zhen Fu to make meritorious contributions, so he had to lead his men to resist the coalition army.

With regard to the basic principle of warfare of "preserving oneself and destroying the enemy," County Magistrate Cen has a very deep understanding of it, and when it is implemented in concrete practice, he can fight and run.

In the Battle of Huangshui, the county magistrate Cen was under the command of Zhen Fu and Liang Qiuci, and he still fought very hard.

(Peng will be a guest, fighting very hard)

Zhen and Liang were killed, and he was also injured.

However, he would run and cross Huang Chunshui with an injury. He did not rush with the scattered officers and soldiers, but ran back to Wancheng.

Wancheng has his family members who were detained by Zhen Fu, and besides, he is still a county-level cadre after all.

He ran to Wancheng, rescued his family, found Zhen Fu's adjutant Yan Shuo, and took the initiative to take on the task of defending the city.

The county magistrate Cen originally worked in Jianyang, and went to Wancheng to defend the city, which is equivalent to the county magistrate doing the work of the mayor (provincial municipality).

Without the approval of the superiors, the new Mang regime is already being shouted and beaten by everyone, the coalition army is in full swing, the military supplies in the city are seriously insufficient, and the world is in chaos

Mess.

In this extremely unfavorable situation, it is a miracle that he was able to lead the crowd to hold on for half a year!

At this time, his opponent was Liu Xuan.

Everyone must know how powerful Liu Xuan is, how fierce he Cen Peng is.

At the same time that Cen Peng urgently deployed to further strengthen the defense of Wancheng, Yan You and Chen Mao led the officers and troops to pounce violently.

Liu Xuan did not show weakness and was determined to meet the enemy with all his might!

In this battle, Liu Xuan showed his determination to die and confidence in victory, and behaved arrogantly and unstoppably!

He quickly mobilized the officers and men of the coalition army, held a pledge meeting, burned materials, smashed pots and pans, beat drums and trumpets, and marched in a high-profile manner to fight against the officers and troops head-on.

(Chen Bing swore an oath, burned and accumulated, broke the cauldron, and marched forward with a drum.) ）

The two sides met outside the city of Yuyang (present-day Xinyebei, Henan) and immediately slashed each other and started a fierce battle.

The officers and troops were fierce and tenacious under the command of Yan You, and the coalition army was even more ten-headed under the supervision of Liu You.

The coalition forces became more and more courageous the more they fought, and cut down the officers and troops in pieces.

When the corpses of the officers and soldiers fell to the ground reached more than 3,000, Yan You and Chen Mao couldn't stand it.

They were really worried that if they didn't run, they would lose the opportunity to run forever, so they left the team and let the coalition forces fight casually, and they quickly fled.

The coalition won another great victory.

Liu Xuan simply cleaned up the battlefield, and then led the crowd to surround Wancheng, and called himself "General Zhutian".

Liu Xuan's prestige and the achievements of the coalition army quickly spread everywhere.

Seeing that the coalition army was so capable of fighting, and Liu Xuan was so good, Wang Mang was frightened.

Of course, Wang Mang's troubles are more than that.
