NO.274 BESIEGE BUT NOT ATTACK
After Pang Tong's plan, Pang Shanmin ordered Gan Ning to rush to Jiangdong, personally led the navy to seize the ferry along the Jiangxia, and controlled the waterway along the river, and ordered Fu Tong to order troops to Jiangling Wang Wei to rush to Xinye.
More than 20,000 soldiers and horses were mighty, heading to Xiakou, Jiangdong scouts found out the news, and hurriedly reported to Han Dang, Han Dang knew that he was invincible, abandoned the port, and went to Jiangxia, and when he returned to the city, he reported to Cheng Pu, and Cheng Pu was shocked when he heard this.
How fast is this Jingxiang military horse action?
After entering the Jiangxia City, a day of feasting, now has not yet done the things of the people, Jingxiang military horses have reached the boundary of Jiangxia, and Xiakou is lost, the waterway is not guaranteed, now 30,000 military horses are sitting in the city, although they can be hired to attack, but the grain and grass they can carry, but it is not much.
I thought that the handover of the city would make Jingxiang suffer a loss, but I never thought that Jingxiang's army and horses would be so resolute, and now the situation is grim, so I have to raise food and grass from the people in the city.
However, after asking the soldiers, Cheng Pu learned that the Jiangxia granary was empty, and when Guan Yu ruled Jiangxia, he was lightly conscripted, and he did not pay much grain and grass, and when he left Jiangxia this time, he made all the grain and grass in the treasury as military rations, and the soldiers in the city raised money, and only borrowed 100 stones of grain and grass from the rich households, which was a drop in the bucket for tens of thousands of troops.
Guan Yu left in a hurry, Jiangdong came in a hurry, Cheng Pu had not planned the grain and grass before, and now Cheng Pu couldn't help but worry, the grain and grass in the city could be used to maintain the military horses in the city for ten days.
If Jing Xiang can be withdrawn from the army in ten days, it is better to say, if not, Jiangxia will not become a lonely city?
After thinking for a long time, Cheng Pu couldn't bear to give up Jiangxia in his heart, and he couldn't bear to hand over the city to Pang Shanmin like this, so he hurriedly ordered the messenger to go in two ways, all the way to Lujiang for help, all the way to Jiangdong, to supervise the grain and grass affairs.
As soon as the messenger left, Cheng Pu had heard the sound of drums and horns outside the city in the Taishou Mansion, and hurriedly put on his horse, all the way to the city, and stayed at the head of the city.
Er Pang defeated Zhou Lang first, and then swept Xichuan, the name of the big and small phoenix chicks made Cheng Pu jealous, above the city, Cheng Pu turned his mind and smiled at Pang Shanmin under the city: "General Jing Xiang is here, do you want to take away my Jiangdong land?" ”
Pang Shanmin sneered and didn't answer, but Pang Tong urged him to step forward and shouted to Cheng Pu: "Haoshou old man, are you stupid?" Jiangxia has always been for my Jingxiang land, you Jiangdong will not declare a war, this time you will have no return! ”
When Cheng Pu heard this, his face suddenly became ugly, and he said to Pang Tong: "This is the city of Jiangdong granted to me by General Guan, and it has nothing to do with you Jingxiang!" ”
"Old horseman, Guan Yu is your father? If so, then he also said that Wu County is my Jingxiang land, and your grandson Quan is my Jingxiang subject! Pang Tong said, Cheng Pu's face turned pale, and he said to Pang Tong: "Don't deceive people too much, you are Jiangdong, I am afraid of you?" The old man doesn't want to kill, just because my general has an in-law relationship with your general! This city is indeed given by General Guan, if the old man has a rumor, he will not die well! ”
"Then you call Guan Yu to confront you!" Pang Tong said, Cheng Pu was stunned, Pang Tong saw this, couldn't help sneering, and said to Cheng Pu: "If you return to the army quickly, I Jingxiang will not worry about you Jiangdong, if not, I will make you regret it!" ”
"Presumptuous!" Cheng Pu was furious when he heard this, but seeing that the array under the city was neat and murderous, Cheng Pu did not dare to go out of the city easily, and fought with him, thinking of this, Cheng Pu said to Pang Tong: "In short, if you want to fight, you will fight, and you will attack my city, but I also hope that the general will remember that if you raise sword soldiers, it will be bad for my friendship between the two families!" ”
"If you occupy my Jingxiang land, won't you have a bad relationship?" When Pang Tong heard this, he couldn't help but grab Bai and said: "Forget it, Jiangdong is too thick-skinned to be too lazy to beak with you!" ”
Pang Tong said and said to Pang Shanmin: "Brother, you can act according to the plan!" ”
Pang Shanmin's face was gloomy, he nodded, waved his big hand, and shouted coldly: "Siege!" ”
Under an order, the left and right armies went out together, and went to the front of the city, the head of Jiangxia City, the dust was flying, and the people of Pangshan lived in the formation, looking at the Jiangdong generals at the head of the city, and smiled.
This Sun Quan deceived people too much, and he always had to give him something powerful, although Pang Shanmin didn't want to rashly make enemies, but now the situation can no longer allow him to indulge Jiangdong, if he blindly retreats, he can only help Changjiangdong to be arrogant.
Cheng Pu saw that the Jingxiang army and horses were majestic, and his heart was also slightly panicked, originally thought that Pang Shanmin could not withstand the agitation and waved his army to attack the city, but he did not expect that Pang Shanmin only besieged but not attacked, and now the grain and grass in the city is the biggest weakness of the Jiangdong military horses.
However, relying on the strong city, but with the Jingxiang city under the field battle, the city is strong, there is no way to play, and if you hurry out of the city, the military horses gather in one place, it is difficult to unfold, if the Jingxiang military horses outside the city, take advantage of the situation, it is difficult to win, such a situation, but it is difficult for Cheng Pu to make a choice.
After thinking for a long time, Cheng Pu sighed lightly at the head of the city, and suddenly heard the voice of Han Dang asking for war behind him, Cheng Pu heard the words, and said to Han Dang: "That Jingxiang military horse, the momentum is flourishing, and now the army is used, the victory or defeat is unpredictable, and the commander of the army is Wen Zhongye, this person's ability to command the army, no need for the old man to say more!" ”
"Do you just watch them show off like this?" Although Han Dang knew that what Cheng Pu said was reasonable, he was trapped in the city and depressed, so he couldn't help but suggest to Cheng Pu: "It's better to have a military horse with me, go out of the city to meet the enemy, and frustrate his spirit!" ”
"Can the righteous father win in one battle?" When Cheng Pu heard this, he chuckled, but Han Dang shook his head and said quite angrily: "It's better than being trapped in the city!" ”
"The old man thought that when his momentum was exhausted, it would not be too late to fight again." Cheng Pu thought for a moment, smiled to himself, and laughed softly at Han Dang: "Maybe it can be a night attack!" ”
Han Dang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he praised: "When his military horses first arrived, the soldiers were tired, and when it was night, the guards would inevitably slack, and the night attack was really a good plan!" ”
"I'm just afraid that the people of Pang Mountain will have the first opportunity!" When Cheng Pu heard this, he sighed lightly and said: "Although the night attack is good, it is difficult to win in one battle, Nawen has been employing soldiers for a long time, and the two are cunning, if you see through the old man's scheming, it is also very possible!" ”
"It's better to gamble than to be helpless!" Han Dang said, and said to Cheng Pu: "The matter of the night attack can be handled by Han, no matter whether it wins or loses, this Jiangxia can not be lost, and if you have the virtue to sit in this city, even if Wenpin and Er Pang work together, it is difficult to break through." ”
"The old man hopes that they will attack the city...... Cheng Pu heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said to Han Dang: "Now the righteousness also knows that there is not much grain and grass in my city, if it can be surrounded for a few days, the sergeant of the battalion will learn about the news of grain storage in the treasury, and the military horses in this city are afraid that it will be chaotic!" ”
