Chapter 489: Liu Bei's Mire
Yan Liang really couldn't afford to lose, so at night, Yan Liang launched a night attack, but, halfway through, Yan Liang was ambushed by Murong Fang, Murong Fang, who had quite enough horsepower, had greater war initiative than Yan Liang, even if Yan Liang didn't come out to attack at night, Murong Fang would also go and burn Yan Liang's camp.
Yan Liang, who was already at a disadvantage during the day, was even more desolate at night, because the night gave Murong Fang more means to use, and Yan Liang found that he was inferior to Murong Fang in the field battle, and the night battle was even worse than 108,000 miles away, and this battle could not be fought.
The battle ended in the night, and both sides evacuated, and the onlookers had no time to react, and by the time they thought about counting the remaining troops on both sides, both sides had already evacuated quickly.
According to their counts, the number of Murong Fang's troops is close to 20,000, that is to say, the casualties are less than 1,000, but it is a pity that the whereabouts of Yan Liang's troops are unknown, and there is no way to obtain first-hand data, but just Murong Fang's small battle damage is enough for players to fully use their imagination.
So far, what the real battle has turned out has not been made public by both sides afterwards, as if the two sides have never had such a large-scale conflict, on the contrary, the relationship between Yuan Shao and Fang Zhiwen seems to be better.
And this result also fully corroborates the players' statements about Yan Liang's fiasco, if Yan Liang is undefeated, how can Yuan Shao, who is fighting at home, lower his high head and make a good alliance with Fang Zhiwen, an outsider!
Although this speculation is somewhat surprising, but. In the face of this explicit and dark evidence, it is difficult to say otherwise.
As a result, Murong Fang's name suddenly became hot, and the players gave full play to their information advantages, quickly fleshed Murong Fang, and found that Murong Fang was the number one general under Fang Zhiwen, and he was a real fierce general who fought from a soldier to a general. In a series of wars launched by Fang Zhiwen, he has made outstanding achievements and is a veteran of a hundred battles. And it seems that he is the black fox who was known for his cunning and ferocity at the southern end of the Miyun Secret Passage!
So together at the bottom. Everyone understands that Murong Fang is definitely not an unknown young general, but an extremely powerful cavalry general, so it is understandable that Yan Liang is still defeated under the dual advantages of rank advantage and strength advantage, after all, Yan Liang also has the disadvantage of class and tactical experience!
When the battle between Murong Fang and Yan Liang was in an uproar, in the north of Jingzhou, the third battle for Biyang City began again.
Like Yan Liang, Biyang City is also a place where Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can't afford to lose. A small city has broken the wings of two strong generals three times and twice, which inevitably hurts its reputation and self-confidence too much, so Biyang City must be won, which has nothing to do with strategy!
Gao Shun's wonderful performance in Biyang City. Zhang Mancheng understood the role of powerful generals and powerful elite troops, and immediately asked Shizun for help, hoping to get some military assistance under the premise that the situation in Jizhou was relatively relaxed, but Jizhou and Runan were separated by thousands of miles. It is obviously unrealistic to want to send a unit over, but under a certain operation, it is still possible to send the backbone of a unit to Tongbai Mountain, and re-select the elite to form a force in the local area.
As for the corresponding equipment, when Gao Shun left, he had already left the equipment and weapons and other things to Zhang Mancheng, so Zhang Mancheng also had a Yellow Turban wrestler with a number of three thousand, and the leader of these Yellow Turban wrestlers is the real tension, and his first battle will come soon.
Of course, this battle of Biyang is the third time, both sides of the battle have deeply absorbed the previous lessons, Guan Yu along the way, but also along the way to clear all the players of the Yellow Turban camp that can be seen, and the road is relatively narrow, and the places suitable for ambush have been cleared, the trees have been cut down to build some fortresses, garrison defense, it can be said that the battalion is advancing towards Biyang City step by step.
As soon as Zhang Mancheng saw this posture, he knew that Biyang City couldn't hold it this time, not to mention, this time Zhang Mancheng didn't have a strong general like Gao Shun in his hands, although the tension was also a good sixth-order strong general, but compared with Guan Yu, the gap was still huge, and the tension was not as strong as Gao Shun's ability to command the army.
What's more, Zhang Mancheng has no reason to defend Biyang City, it was more out of political considerations to defend Biyang City, and now, politically Biyang City is no longer insignificant, Zhang Mancheng has begun to plan to prepare a decent gift for Liu Bei in the north of Jingzhou after the situation in Runan gradually stabilized, only after Liu Bei's arrogance and strength are broken, Jingzhou's surface unity can be broken, and Jingzhou's chess game can be revitalized.
Zhang Mancheng took the initiative to attack this time, taking advantage of the terrain of the mountainous area, and Guan Yu started mountain warfare and guerrilla warfare, and put his main Yellow Turban wrestlers into the rear of Guan Yu's troops, that is, the direction of the troops of those players in the imperial camp, and gave full play to the strong defense and attack power of his troops, and took advantage of the geographical advantage that the narrow mountain roads were not suitable for the deployment of large troops, and frequently slaughtered player troops.
And Guan Yu is entangled by Zhang Mancheng, and it is difficult to divide the forces to assist the player, the divided forces are less, and they will be eaten by tension at any time, and if there are more divisions, Zhang Mancheng's offensive will be strengthened, so that Guan Yu's advance speed will be blocked.
The player troops of the Yellow Turban camp were assigned by Zhang Mancheng to attack the fortresses established by Guan Yu along the way.
Zhang Mancheng poured out of the nest, taking advantage of the geographical advantage to entangle with Guan Yu in the mountains, Biyang City is actually an empty city at all, but even if Biyang City is a ruin, Guan Yu has already made up his mind to take Biyang City!
Originally, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei expected that the time for this attack on Biyang City would be a month, but a month passed, and Guan Yu only advanced to two-thirds of the distance, and the money, food and materials consumed had already doubled, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei lost a small number of troops, but the player troops who followed them on the mission suffered heavy losses.
This situation reminded the majority of players of Zhang Fei's fiasco last time, and they couldn't help but be disappointed in Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, coupled with the fact that the Yellow Turban Army invested the main combat troops to deal with the player troops of the Yellow Turban camp, so that the pressure on the player troops exceeded their psychological bottom line. p> Although the combat power of the player troops is worrying and the command is not easy, after there are no player troops, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei found that the player troops of the Yellow Turban camp suddenly lost their suppression, so these player troops broke out with surprising combat power, of course, not the combat power on the frontal battlefield, but in the special environment of the mountainous area, the player's sabotage and harassment warfare power is extremely huge.
At night, under the cover of the thick darkness of the night, players assemble behind a hillside or a wood, stealthily set up trebuchets, and teleport the distance and direction of the target from the observation post in front of them.
And when the garrison troops arrived bypassing the obstacles, they had already gone to the empty building, or because of the small number of troops, they would be ambushed twice, not only the village was burned, but even the defenders were eaten in batches.
Even Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's main forces will be harassed by the player's troops at night, these players with the assistance of the Yellow Turban Army quickly take the favorable terrain, and then throw fires into Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's camp, and by the time Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's troops chase them out, they will have already run away, but if they don't care, then they will be happy to burn your camp into a sea of fire.
In such a situation, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu can continue to advance is already a pretty good record, of course, although the Yellow Turban Army is extremely harassing, but if they want to really block Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's footsteps, it is obviously powerless, Guan Zhang and the others have made up their minds to take Biyang, in the face of this belief, the Yellow Turban Army is also powerless to stop.
In fact, Zhang Mancheng didn't think about blocking it, in fact, at this time, even Liu Bei, who was far away in Wancheng, understood that even if the place of Biyang City was taken by Guan Yu, the long logistics passage from Wancheng to Wuyin and then to Biyang would also become a rope around the neck of Biyang City, and Guan Yu, who was stranded in Biyang, would be tightly strangled
At that time, not to mention relying on Biyang City to attack Tongbai Mountain, it is already quite difficult to hold on to Biyang City, not to mention, how much food and materials will be consumed in the continuous logistics route of the sabotage and counter-sabotage war? And Liu Bei is actually not rich now, relying on the assets of the local clan in the early stage, Liu Bei can only be used as a start-up capital, and it is impossible to rely on this method to carry out a protracted war.
Liu Bei finally understood that his top priority now was not to exterminate the Yellow Turban, but to gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou and establish his own stable economic resources, otherwise, he would starve to death without others rushing.
However, Guan Yu was bent on winning Biyang, but Liu Bei was not strong against it, after all, it was a matter of face for the two younger brothers, but what about after winning Biyang? Could it be that if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei took the initiative to let Biyang out, what is the difference between this and failure?
Liu Bei found himself in a dilemma, supporting the war in Biyang City, and in the end he may have run out of money, food, and supplies, and finally was driven out of Jingzhou in disgrace, or looked up to people in Jingzhou.
If they don't support the battle of Biyang, then will Guan Yu and Zhang Fei blame themselves for this, the strange rumors last time have already shed some shadows between their brothers, if there is any unpleasantness, what else can this brother do!
If you want to break this situation, either Liu Bei can get the full support of the Jingzhou clan to resolutely exterminate the Yellow Turban thieves in Tongbai Mountain, or Guan Yu and Zhang Fei take the initiative to give up the military operation in Biyang City, return to Wuyin first, invest the limited money and grain in the construction of the city territory, and throw the limited troops to Weixing County in the west, and take Weixing County as soon as possible to strengthen their rear, and they can only slowly try to the Yellow Turban Thieves. To be continued! ~!
