Chapter 1383 talks about the battle between Jiang and Liu
Winter goes to spring, and the time is in the blink of an eye to January of the twelfth year of Guangxi.
Liu Biao was forced by Liu Yan and had to come out of Nanzheng, if he could, of course Liu Biao was reluctant to come, but Yan Yan and Zhang Ren arrived in Nanzheng with a large army, Liu Biao either closed the door to fight them, or he should obediently roll out with his tail between his legs, can Liu Biao choose?
Liu Biao regretted it! I knew that Liu Yan was so unkind, so I didn't ask him for help, but now I am luring the wolf into the room!
Accompanied or escorted by Zhang Ren, Liu Biao took Yang Ren and others slowly, and led 100,000 troops to Nanxiang City, which is about 100 miles away from Shiquan.
Liu Biao was not in a hurry to attack, as long as he held Nanxiang, it would be impossible for Zhang Liang to go deep into the Han Dynasty/
So Liu Biao first built a large military camp outside the small Nanxiang city, stationed the hundreds of thousands of troops first, and then built supporting storage and logistics facilities, and finally simply divided the military camp on the side of the city wall directly into the city, and used the outer wall of the military camp as the outer wall to expand the city, and forcibly doubled the area of Nanxiang, which was about to catch up with the scale of a second-class town.
Zhang Ren did not object to Liu Biao's behavior, he just watched coldly, of course, Liu Biao's approach cannot be said to be wrong, from a strategic point of view, establishing a stronghold in Nanxiang and holding the eastward passage can indeed block the threat from Shiquan, and the facts have also proved that Liu Biao's approach is correct.
The Yellow Turban Army saw that Liu Biao was guarding Nanxiang and made a turtle with a shrunken head. He was not in a hurry to attack, but did the same thing as Liu Biao in Shiquan, building a city!
This is strange. The location of Shiquan is very embarrassing, the east is Xicheng, the west is Nanxiang, the north and south are mountains, you say that Liu Biao built a city in Nanxiang, there is a meaning of closing the door to thank guests, he has a rich Han Zhangliang behind him There are mountains on the left and right. You're wasting time with Liu Biao here, aren't you looking for death?
But Zhang Liang just found death! Maybe Zhang Liang's wisdom is just like this, otherwise he wouldn't have been driven away from others. Transfer all the way from Runan to Han R /
Zhang Liang's approach made Zhang Ren feel that Zhang Liang was nothing more than that, and he couldn't help but have the idea of underestimating the enemy in his heart, and in Zhang Ren's mind, there was really no need for him to take the initiative to attack Zhang Liang. Wait until Zhang Liang is hungry. Naturally, they will come to attack Nanxiang, and at that time, Nanxiang has been built by Liu Biao with high walls, and the quasi-guarantee can make Zhang Liang hit his head and bleed, the only thing that worries Zhang Ren is how to get rid of Liu Biao, this is Zhang Ren's secret mission.
Liu Biao also seemed to have guessed something, so he would definitely not be alone with Zhang Ren, and there were a large number of servants in and out. Be very careful, Zhang Ren is difficult to start.
For Zhang Liang's actions. Liu Biao is also very proud, feeling that his strategic plan has been successful, and Liu Biao's plan is to put it bluntly, just wait for work!
As a defender, Liu Biao put himself in the right position, it is someone else who wants to grab his own things, not the other way around, so attacking is the inevitable choice of the opponent, and the loss in the war is always small, therefore, Liu Biao chose a defensive battle according to his years of experience in studying the art of war, and it is a fortress defensive battle.
I can't imagine that Zhang Liang is so stupid, he didn't attack first, and gave time so that he could slowly build a strong fortress, and after a while, when Nanxiang City was built, such a steep terrain, even if Zhang Liang grew wings, he would never want to cross Nanxiang!
Is Zhang Liang really so stupid? Even if Zhang Liang is really stupid, but there are no smart people around him? Zhang Mancheng, Zhao Hong, and Liao Hua are not stupid, not to mention Jiang Yong, who boasts that his wisdom is already first-class!
"General, I'm afraid Liu Biao is still complacent at this time! He must have had no idea that we had taken the time to find and widen a path from the mountains, braving the snow and cold to appear behind him.1
"Haha, this is all a military master's clever plan! Building a city in Shiquan can become a fortress to block Liu Bei in the future, and secondly, it will also be able to block the escape of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Nanxiang City
Jiang Yong smiled proudly, Liu Biao and his ilk are just nerds who talk about war on paper, it may be good to play politics, when it comes to fighting, it is not the same as the average two, at least, the Yellow Turban Army spent time widening the road in the mountains, and the troops were outflanked behind Liu Biao's ass, and Liu Biao did not even send scouts to the mountains.
Jiang Yong also carefully moved the road to the north a lot, and went around a big circle to come to this place called Tiger Sheartail, here is a bend of nearly 90 degrees, both sides of the road are cliffs, the width of the stone wall on both sides of the road is less than 30 zhang, and the stone wall is more than 10 zhang high.
Taking advantage of the severe cold weather, Jiang Yong used earth, wood, and water to build a high barrier between the mountain walls overnight, and then turned both sides of the valley into a fortress, and chiseled and widened the road leading to the stone walls on both sides, and arranged heavy crossbows and trebuchets at the top of the stone walls, and a fortress that was easy to defend and difficult to attack was completed.
This fortress is completed, the road from Nanxiang to Nanzheng is completely cut off, unless Liu Biao can capture this fortress, or he will have to go over the mountains and mountains, when it comes to mountain warfare, the Yellow Turban Army is not afraid of anyone, this is trained by the Youzhou Army, especially Zhang Mancheng, Liao Hua, etc. are masters of mountain warfare, so they will not be afraid of these Yizhou soldiers and Han who have not fought a few battles /
Therefore, as soon as this fortress is completed, Liu Biao is basically defeated, you must know that the troops around Liu Biao are Han, once this group of troops is eliminated, the 30,000 infantry in the hands of Han Yan will be available to Han.
"General, don't be busy with joy first, our army's grain and grass are running out, I think, let's quickly send someone to Liu Bei to ask for grain and grass1
Zhang Liang was stunned, and Liao Hua was also curious: "Military advisor, will Liu Bei still give us grain and grass now?" We've caused him to lose his whole subordinate.1
"Hehe, gains and losses, gains and losses, losing the division is not necessarily a bad thing, maybe he is still secretly grateful to the second general, and besides, if he wants Yizhou, he has to continue to support us1
Zhang Liang felt that his thinking couldn't keep up, was it a good thing that Liu Bei lost his subordinate? Liu Bei wants Yizhou, but didn't this Yizhou say that it was himself?
"Wait, the military advisor means that Liu Bei also wants to plot against Yizhou?"
"Naturally, if the second general is Liu Bei, can't you see the wonders of Yizhou?"
"But, didn't you say that the military advisor said that we were going to attack Yizhou? Why did you want to bring Liu Bei to Yizhou? ”
"Won't he come back himself without us leading? Yizhou is so big, south to Yunnan, Qiqi, north to Wudu, Yinping, west to Wenshan, very big! Isn't it a joke that our people want to occupy the whole of Yizhou, so it is most realistic to carve up Yizhou. ”
Zhang Liang frowned and thought about it, nodded and agreed with Jiang Yong's statement, with the million people in his hands now, he can be a Han, if he can take Wudu and Yinping, his population will be insufficient, not to mention those big counties in the south. Moreover, it is undoubtedly correct to find another enemy for Liu Yan in the south.
"Understood, but would Liu Bei think so?"
"Don't you know if you want to try it, anyway, we don't have a loss, otherwise we can hold on to how long we can hold on by hunting and digging grass roots in the mountains, if it is Hanxia, we will be hungry."
"Yes, I'll take someone to Jingzhou1
.
Liu Biao learned that his back road was blocked a day later, and Zhang Liang had already built the fortress tall and sturdy in the tiger sheartail. Liu Biao informed Zhang Ren of the matter, and Zhang Ren was also shocked, only then did he know that he really underestimated Zhang Liang, and he couldn't imagine that Zhang Liang actually hid from the sky and made this fatal move behind his back.
Liu Biao discussed with Zhang Yiyi, the only way now is to storm the Tiger Clipping Tail Fortress, attacking Shiquan is obviously unrealistic, the Yellow Turban Army built a city in Shiquan, I'm afraid it is to prevent this trick, as for going over the mountains and mountains, this is not impossible on weekdays, but now it is winter, there is not much food that can be found on the mountain, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, more than 100,000 people go over the mountains and mountains, it is really more difficult than climbing to the sky, it is better to attack the tiger and cut the tail!
The two led the army, hurriedly rushed to the tiger to cut the tail, and when they arrived here, they saw that this terrain was really terrible! To be located in a corner, the narrow fortress, the commanding heights on both sides of the fortress are covered with trebuchet positions, leaving Liu Biao with a very narrow offensive surface, and it is definitely a dangerous job to attack the fortress through this narrow road, seeing this situation, Liu Biao and Zhang Ren's soldiers can't help but feel a little weak, this is not called attacking, is this called death!
"Attack 1
Liu Biao gritted his teeth and spit out a word, Yang Ren smiled bitterly, this is also no way, he knows that if he doesn't attack, when he runs out of ammunition and food, he will still fail, it is better to take advantage of his strength now to try to see if he can capture this strong fortress.
Liu Biao's attack on the first day failed miserably, leaving a large number of corpses on the narrow mountain road, in addition, Liu Biao didn't get anything, this kind of Jedi is too difficult to attack, Zhang Ren, who is familiar with Yizhou, knows that fighting in Yizhou, the relationship between the terrain is too important, I can't imagine that I am an old Yizhou, but I was beaten by the opponent to grab the terrain beautifully, and it's a shame to say it!
Seeing that it was getting dark, Liu Biao had to retreat a few miles and find a slightly open place to camp, preparing to attack again the next day, Zhang Ren played a trick and set up the camp behind Liu Biao, this decision saved Zhang Yi's life that night!
The terrain here is cramped, and Jiang Yong can easily calculate where Liu Biao's army will choose to camp, so that night, Jiang Yong issued a mission, beckoned a large number of players to attack and kill the sentry post on Liu Biao's commanding heights, and then used a trebuchet to throw down countless oil cans, Jiang Yong used a wind direction skill, and in this valley terrain, the fire suddenly went out of control.
The Yellow Turban Army, which had been prepared for a long time, took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, Liu Biao was defeated, Zhang Ren saw Liu Biao's defeated army surging, and he couldn't resist at all, so he hurriedly threw his troops off the camp and turned around and ran towards Nanxiang. To be continued.
