Chapter 350: Jing's Army Goes North
The commander of the Jingzhou army was Kuai Yue, and there were generals who were hired, all the way north, and the counties that were still grass on the wall looked down on the wind.
The defenders who were originally loyal to Zhang Xiu also surrendered and fled, after all...... If the military discipline of the Xiliang Army is really excellent, can Guanzhong still be like this?
Don't ever expect an army with poor military discipline to keep the festival.
On the other hand, Kuai Yue, a literati, also did not leave the saddle and Wen Ping, chasing the fleeing part of the defenders everywhere, and finally he was really caught by the tail!
Hundreds of stragglers braved, and under the crushing of the army, they instantly became hundreds of blood-stained armor and dozens of prisoners......
That's right, Kuai Yue just wanted to rush all the way to bring lightning, and brought out almost all the cavalry in Jingzhou Mansion - in order to deceive Wancheng, he coerced a part of the defeated army that surrendered.
marched all the way, dispatched almost all the cavalry of Jingzhou Mansion, and when they arrived near Wancheng, they were not even too late than the news of the loss of Nieyang County!
Outside Wancheng, taking advantage of the night, the main force of five thousand cavalry, silently and without raising torches, slowly entered, and two miles away in front of them were hundreds of elite soldiers led by Wen Ping, Ji Zao, who could also change armor, but their acting skills were ...... It takes special training, or rather, veterans to be competent.
Because Jingzhou is the only way for Yizhou to get out of Sichuan after Hanzhong is completely blocked, it is relatively easy for Jingzhou Mansion to buy Yunnan horses, and the number and elite degree of cavalry are not comparable to those of the Central Plains and Hebei, but it is more than the general's mansion before Zhang Xiu was subdued two years ago!
Among the troops who seized the door, there were real Xiliang prisoners, although they were weak when they shouted, Lei Xu and Zhang Xian didn't hear any flaws, and they came at night, so they couldn't recognize anything by their appearance.
It is said that they have done this step, and it is very simple to deceive the two, but Zhang Chunhua saw through it!
Because Zhang Chunhua is a student of Jia Xu, and ...... It is also rumored that there is still some indescribable relationship with Bai Tu, so before Zhang Xiu left, he told the two not to slack off.
And Lei Xu and Zhang Xian are also old fritters, not to mention their respect for Jia Xu, they are just the future...... Ahem, this layer of ingredients makes them only stutter, Zhang Xiu's reminder is actually completely unnecessary, not to mention not slacking off, they can be even more undisciplined!
Even at such an important time of crisis, Zhang Chunhua asked to go up to the city tower, and both of them ordered no one to stop him.
Fortunately, Zhang Chunhua saw the flaws - these people looked very embarrassed one by one, and even some of them were carried by their comrades-in-arms, and blood stains could be seen on their bodies, but ...... But there is no shortage of blades in each hand!
When Zhang Xian heard this, he wanted to say that they were Xiliang boys, and they would not discard their blades when they retreated.
After all, the situation in Liangzhou is that you often have to face foreign races, once the army is defeated, it is likely to wander in the enemy's sweeping area for a few days, if you don't have a blade, even if you run faster, but the survival rate is lower!
Therefore, in this regard, the elite of Xiliang will not make the mistake of throwing away their armor.
However, Zhang Xian and Lei Xu thought about it a little and understood that this only referred to a small number of elites, and the defenders sent to various counties were at best one percent of the elite, and the rest were recruited locally......
So the two accepted the opinion of Zhang Chunhua, who looked very young and was still a woman - the identity of Jia Xu's student at this time undoubtedly provided Zhang Chunhua with higher credibility!
After listening to Zhang Chunhua's persuasion, the two shouted to delay time, and on the other hand, they planned to follow Zhang Chunhua's command, and arranged three rows of strong crossbowmen in the dark at the city gate in the urn city, with countless people holding shields, guns, and bows on both wings.
After the fake hundreds of routs entered the city, they were illuminated by the lights near the city gate, and the three rows of crossbowmen a hundred paces away were completely in darkness, and at most they could see some shadowy silhouettes!
As soon as Wen Ping entered the city, he found that there was something wrong with these four torches—why were they all around the city gate?
"The enemy is in the urn! Ignite! The generals who had been arranged around him shouted at this time.
In this way, Wen Ping could barely hold his breath, but the captured lieutenant had already shouted: "Wait! Two generals...... I was forced! ”
As soon as they heard this, where did Lei Xu and Zhang Xian not know that it was a fraud?
Directly ordered to release the arrow - forced? your granny's being forced......
Not to mention occupying the city gate, now only the vanguard who seized the gate is in the light, completely passively shot, and even can't see where the enemy is in the dark, even the most elite and the best elite who are prepared for their lives are directly in a panic.
Before the main force of the ambush outside poured under the city wall, most of the troops who seized the gate had already been broken, and only a small part retreated, and Wen Ping himself was almost folded inside......
When Bai Tu was meeting Jian Yong, the urgent report he received was mainly the news that the Jingzhou army was going north and Wancheng was ready for defense!
For Wancheng, the damage of this battle is small, but it has broken the sharpness of the Jingzhou army, and more importantly, with the high walls and deep ditches of Wancheng, once the surprise attack fails, if you want to attack, it will not be the work of the moon!
Although most of the elite of the Wancheng Army were taken away by Zhang Xiu to fight, the remaining part was only a large number of recruits, and there were still enough grassroots backbone generals.
Now Wancheng is not isolated, not to mention the main force of the General's Mansion, which is not far from Xiangyang and Fancheng!
Moreover, with the Xiliang Army as the backbone, the Wancheng Army brought out had innate immunity to persuasion with the righteousness of the imperial court.
Zhang Xiu's subordinates were inherited from Zhang Ji, and Zhang Ji was originally together with Li Dao and Guo Yan, and fought back against Chang'an after Jia Xu's advice.
If they trusted the imperial court, why did the Han family fall to this point?
After all, after Dong Zhuo's death, they only begged for forgiveness but could not, and even the people of Liangzhou had a crazy rumor that the imperial court wanted to "punish the people of Liangzhou......
Whether this is a rumor or Wang Yun's angry remarks are unknown, but ...... This part of the generals of the Western Liang Army can be said to have a deep "court pstd", which is completely different from the new Western Liang army of Ma Teng and Han Sui, who now declare their allegiance to the imperial court!
In Zhang Xiutou's General's Mansion, especially recently, after the Wancheng area was connected with Yangzhou along the northern part of Jiangxia and the southern part of Runan, they gradually enjoyed the treatment of the army of the General's Mansion, and they knew that there would be support, how could they listen to Kuaiyue's nonsense?
As for why Bai Tu spoke coldly on the surface, he was secretly happy?
First, since Wancheng was not defeated by a surprise attack, it was basically impossible to be defeated by Suke; Secondly...... This is not like Liu Biao's style, but it seems that the scholars of Nanjun are already in a hurry!
In other words, the situation in Xiangyang may have changed greatly.
Well, it should be that the living standards of the people of Xiangyang have improved under the humanitarian care of "Yangzhou sugar, meat and livestock, dumping them at a discount, and providing various recipes...... Let's bring a little synergy!
Anyway, there is nothing bad about white pictures......
