When this episode occurred in the Fuwang Mansion in Jiangnan, Xu Lang's army of 40,000 had already left Xiangyang in order and entered Jingmen.

At that time, King Ping had successfully escaped into the Jingzhou Mansion. The guard of Jingmen, surnamed Wei, is very useful. He is familiar with the art of war, and he has learned martial arts, and he is also first-class in the rivers and lakes. And his master is none other than the head of the Dust Dao.

It's just that Xu Lang didn't know about this matter in advance.

After hearing the news that Xiangyang had been broken, Wei Dayong was frightened into a cold sweat. This fright, not that he was very afraid, but he really didn't expect that with Zhang Daping and King Peace in charge, he could also lose Xiangyang.

But once Xiangyang is broken, the waterway will be unimpeded. Helpless, Wei Dayong had to take back all the sailors under his command. First, two or three miles outside Jingmen, build a defensive line. If you want to talk about the total strength, Jingmen is really a little small, only more than 20,000, compared to Xu Lang's 40,000 soldiers and horses, it is indeed at a disadvantage.

However, no matter how stretched he was, Wei Da, who was bent on proving his own usefulness, was still full of confidence to keep the future enemy out of Jingmen.

"Chang'an soldiers are good at field battles, but we can't hold out, waiting for the opportunity to annihilate the enemy, the odds of victory are very high, all the soldiers, without my order, they are not allowed to go out without permission, violators, beheaded!"

Wei Dayong is twenty years old, tall and burly, with a very white face, a lock of small beard at the corner of his mouth, and a silver armor on it, and he is very talented.

On the horse, Wei Da used a spear, and his marksmanship was taken from Zhao Zilong of Changshan of the Three Kingdoms, and the swordsmanship of Wudang was included, so among all the generals of King Ping, he was at least able to enter the top three. It's just that Wei Dayong is young after all, his edge is a bit strong, and he usually boasts of being a little high, and in the sequence of Pingwang's generals who still have to talk about seniority, he was not accepted by King Ping as his heart, so he had to succumb to this small Jingmen.

In terms of the defense of Jingmen's periphery, he did use some brains. He knew very well that in order to defend Jingmen, he would inevitably weaken the impact of the Chang'an soldiers.

Therefore, he has two sides and is a horn for each other. On the one hand, the waves are coming from the water, and on the other hand, the waves are coming from the land. And on every side, he occupies a critical position, deep ditches and high bases, trapping horse pits, rejecting horses, etc., you really want to rush, but you may not be able to rush.

This kind of tactics of shrinking defense is like a turtle shrinking into its shell, and you can't find a way to bite it when you hit it twice.

It's just that Xu Lang didn't quite do what he wanted.

Xu Lang knew that his 40,000 soldiers and horses were very valuable, so he did not divide his troops and march by land and water, but 40,000 soldiers came out of Xiangyang and attacked Jingmen by land.

In this way, his momentum was much greater than Wei Dayong expected. Not to mention covering the sky and the sun, it is indeed smoke and dust.

"General Xu, thirty miles ahead, you will arrive at Jingmen!"

There are scouts who have beaten the Malay newspaper.

Xu Lang's scout team, composed of beggar disciples, has a relatively strong force value, and the individual combat is even more than that of ordinary sergeants, so he is often very relieved to let them go out thirty miles away, so that no matter how the tactics are arranged, there will be room for buffer.

"What about the enemy's defense?"

Xu Lang was very calm, marching all the way, the whole army was a little tired, first through the scouts to understand the situation of the enemy, so as to make arrangements in time.

"The enemy army has been prepared, and about three or four miles away from the city, we have chosen a dangerous pass to go down to the village, and we have almost met the enemy scouts, so we do not dare to explore again."

The scout replied truthfully.

"Alright, let's rest! Give me the order and set up camp on the spot! General Li, you have to work harder, take 5,000 forward sergeants, and quickly set up a suspicious formation five miles away from the camp to prevent the enemy from sneaking up! ”

Xu Lang already has the demeanor of a general, and he is more cautious.

Now, Jingmen is not known about the truth, and if you want to attack it, you must first guard against it. When the soldiers have rested and eaten and drunk enough, it is not too late to fight him again.
