Chapter 871: Yu Ban Guarding Guangling

When Wen Ping and Zhao Yun each led their troops and went all out to capture the territory of Wei, the time quietly entered June. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: ะจะฉะฉ.(7)(9)XS.ัะžะœ.

In the summer of June, the south gets hotter and hotter.

Especially on the east coast, it's not only hot, but also a little 'tidal'. And outside Guangling County in Guangling County, there are piles of corpses. The bodies of these corpses were covered with blood, their faces were hideous, and there were fierce expressions on their faces.

These corpses were all left after the fighting.

Now the weather is very hot, the sun is exposed, and it doesn't take long for the corpse to stink. When the corpse stinks, it can easily become a plague and then spread among the army.

Therefore, Yu Ban resisted Huang Zhong's charge, and when the battle was over, he would send soldiers outside the city to clean up the battlefield and burn all the corpses to avoid the stench of corpses and affect the county seat of Guangling.

Yu Ban stood on the tower of the county seat, with a thick tired look on his face.

During this time, he worked extremely hard.

When there were frequent wars in the north, Guangling County was also constantly fighting.

Huang Zhong led the army of Chu to the north from Wu County in Wu County, crossed the river and attacked Guangling County. Although Yu Ban has a navy under his command, the navy under his command is not the opponent of the navy under Lu Xun.

In the case that Lu Xun sent soldiers to patrol the Yangtze River, Yu Ban had no possibility of crossing the river at all, and could only be stationed in Guangling County. It is precisely because of this that Yu Ban has always taken a defensive posture.

Huang Zhong is different, Huang Zhong, with the help of Lu Xun's navy, easily crossed the Yangtze River, entered the territory of Guangling County, and then went straight to Guangling County.

When Huang Zhong came, at first, Yu Ban sent two armies to block him, intending to block Huang Zhong in the southern part of Guangling County.

However, the soldiers under Huang Zhong's command were 'fine' and unmatched.

Under the strong attack of the Chu soldiers, the soldiers sent out by Yu Ban were all defeated, and they could not resist the attack of the Chu soldiers under Huang Zhong's command at all.

Yu Ban didn't think about leading the army to confront Huang Zhong and fight against each other.

However, Yu Ban's 'sexual' character has always been cautious and unwilling to send troops.

Moreover, Yu Ban was stationed in Guangling County, and he only had this army under his command, and he could not make any mistakes. The army under Huang Zhong's command is strong, and if Yu Ban confronts Huang Zhong, he will not be able to please, and he may be sniped by Huang Zhong, or even defeated.

It is better to be conservative than to be 'aggressive'.

In particular, Yu Ban thought about the lessons of Zhang Liao and Xun You, and was even more reluctant to take the initiative to attack, preferring to be stationed in Guangling County.

Guangling County is the seat of Guangling County, and it is also the 'door' household in the south of Xuzhou.

As long as Guangling County is in the hands of the ban, it is impossible for Huang Zhong to bypass Guangling County to attack Xuzhou, and Guangling County must be captured before Huang Zhong can go north. As long as Yu Ban held Guangling County, the war would be beneficial to the Wei State.

Especially in Guangling County, Yu Ban constantly strengthened the city wall, dug a deep moat, and strengthened the defense. Under such circumstances, Guangling County is extremely strong under the rule of the ban, and it is impossible to be easily attacked.

Huang Zhong led his soldiers to attack Guangling County, and continued to fight and attack. However, Yu Ban was stationed in Guangling County, and the defense was so impregnable that Huang Zhong could not get any benefits.

After all, Yu Ban was fully prepared.

In Guangling County, whether it is food, equipment, or soldiers, it is sufficient. As long as Guangling County is not breached, there will be military rations and equipment for a year and a half.

As long as the city is not broken, Yu Ban can always be defended.

Yu Ban stood on the city tower and waited quietly.

"Step!!"

There was a sound of footsteps coming from beside him.

A scribe approached and stood beside Yu Ban. The middle-aged scribe's name was Zhu Wen, in his early forties, and he was Yu Ban's staff.

Zhu Wen saluted and said, "General, the losses in today's battle have been counted. Today, we lost 268 soldiers killed and 354 seriously wounded, not counting minor wounds. โ€

"According to the situation of the corpses outside, the number of Chu soldiers killed in the battle is at least more than six hundred, and there will be more seriously injured, and I am afraid that the minor injuries are countless. โ€

"Huang Zhong's continuous siege of the city, to this day, has not made a breakthrough, in other words, ordinary people, have long stopped attacking. But Huang Zhong, a veteran, came to attack every day and persevered. This energy is also a little awe-inspiring. โ€

Zhu Wen sighed.

has been defending, although the city is not broken, but the pressure is very high.

Yu Ban snorted and said in a deep voice: "What can Huang Zhong do if he insists on it, if he wants to attack Guangling County, it is impossible to win." The city of Guangling County is strong and the city walls are thick, and no matter how much Huang Zhong attacks, it is impossible to win. โ€

Zhu Wen nodded and said, "The general is reasonable, fortunately, the general is fully prepared." Otherwise, Guangling County may not be able to hold out for such a long time. โ€

Yu Ban said in a deep voice: "But you have to be careful, send more soldiers to patrol and strengthen the defense." โ€

"Whoa!"

Zhu Wen nodded in response.

As soon as the words changed, Zhu Wen gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "General, Huang Zhong has been actively attacking. And during this time, we have not attacked, we have been defending. โ€

"In Huang Zhong's heart, he must have a preconceived idea that we dare not attack. โ€

"He believed that Huang Zhong's defense could not be tight. โ€

"You see, after dark, can we send troops to attack Huang Zhong?"

Zhu Wen's eyes flashed with a 'fine' light, and he said: "I have always adopted a defensive strategy, although I blocked Huang Zhong's attack, but the soldiers were holding their breath and feeling uncomfortable." It's not good to go on like this in the long run. โ€

Regarding the current situation, Zhu Wen is also very worried.

If you keep it for a long time, you will lose!

In a battle, if the strategy of defense is always adopted, the blow to the defender is bound to be huge. Under such circumstances, effective counteroffensive measures can boost morale.

After Yu Ban listened, he shook his head.

Zhu Wen frowned and asked, "General, we have enough troops, why don't we give it a try?"

Yu Ban explained: "Sometimes, it is precisely your mentality that causes the final failure. We do one thing, remember to give up halfway, and change the strategy at any time. Fighting with Huang Zhong, although we are taking a defensive strategy, it is also beneficial to us. โ€

Although Huang Zhong could not be defeated, Huang Zhong's public demonstration could not succeed. โ€

"The situation is under our control, so we are not at a disadvantage. At least for a short time, Huang Zhong is unlikely to win. In other words, we don't have the slightest sign of defeat at the moment. โ€

"If we don't act, Huang Zhong won't be able to find our flaws. โ€

"And as soon as we act, there are actions, there are flaws, and Huang Zhong can find our flaws according to our changes. For example, if you attack according to your plan, you may be in the hands of Huang Zhong, so that Huang Zhong will seize the opportunity to attack us. โ€

Yu Ban stared at the outside of the city, his eyes were solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Do nothing and do nothing, and if you don't fight, you fight." We do nothing, we do exactly everything. If we take the initiative to change, maybe we won't even be able to stabilize our current advantages. โ€

Zhu Wen opened his mouth, wanting to refute.

When it came to his mouth, he finally swallowed it back. He understood Yu Ban's worries and thoughts, and now that he could be stationed in Guangling County and block Huang Zhong, it was enough.

Once you make adjustments, you may even face failure.

It's a good idea.

Yu Ban glanced at Zhu Wen and continued: "Zhu Wen, there is the most important point. Although we have the 'fine' under our command, although we have sufficient food, grass and equipment. However, most of the 'elite' soldiers of Wei were 'fighting' with Liu Xiu in the north. On our side, there are not many supplies, and our strength is relatively weak, so we can't act rashly. โ€

Zhu Wen sighed and said, "I understand my humble duties!"

Yu Ban waved his hand and said, "Go!"

"Whoa!"

Zhu Wen nodded, then turned around and retreated.

Yu Ban stood at the head of the city, looking out of the city, looking at the scene of the setting sun, although his expression was firm, there was still a trace of worry in his eyes. He doesn't know what this battle will end up in.

You can only take one step at a time.
