Commander Liang personally patted his horse and stepped forward to supervise the battle, and his mount was startled by the close-quarters shells flying from the city, and he went crazy and threw the commander down.

Fortunately, General Han sacrificed his life to save him, was hit by two arrows, suffered internal injuries, and was dragged down by his own soldiers, saving his life. ”

Su Fuan rushed to hear the news, just in time to hear the messenger's report.

As an old brother who had known each other for a long time, Liang Guang knew it, and now even this old brother of his was forced into such a predicament, he was taken aback, and stepped forward and asked:

"The city defense is so tenacious, isn't it difficult for you to advance an inch?"

The messenger said again: "Although our Western Route Army fought very hard, and Commander Liang was unfortunately seriously injured, fortunately, General Han was still in the battle.

At that time, the officers and soldiers saw that Commander Liang had fallen off his horse, and the morale of our army was greatly damaged, and the generals defending the city could no longer hold it back, and personally climbed the battlements of the city wall to command the battle.

How did he know that in our army, in addition to Commander Liang, there were also fierce people like General Han?

I saw General Han pat his horse and rush forward, first three arrows shot at a cannon at the head of the city, and then an arrow snatched the ear of the general, and then an arrow hit his chest.

Under the city, General Zhou's infantry was shocked when they saw the sluggish morale, and rushed forward regardless of casualties, snatching the body of the general guarding the city back.

When the villain returned, General Han was planning to take his head and hang it on the flagpole to demoralize the defenders of the city. ”

Yang Kai's solemn expression turned softened, and said: "As soon as the defenders in the city die, the appearance of the chaotic army is only stronger than our army.

In addition, our army besieged the city, and could not receive news from the outside world at all, so it became a situation of defending the isolated city to the death, and it was bound to be difficult to organize a strong defense. ”

Originally, Liang Guang recklessly stepped forward to command, and was injured first, which led to a morale setback and almost buried the offensive of the Western Route Army, which can be described as a major mistake.

After Yang Kai said this, it seemed that Liang Guang deliberately stepped forward and lured the snake out of the hole, so that Han Bin could behead the enemy's general, which became a miracle.

When the soldiers around him heard this, their morale was boosted.

"Commander Liang can abandon the bad habit of following the general commander to fight for many years, take the lead in commanding the battle, and do not hesitate to exchange his own casualties for the head of the defenders, it is indeed a great blow to the defenders in the city."

Su Fuan glanced at Yang Kai's face, and also stood up to say something for his old brother.

Although his current identity is already on par with Liang Guang, the time he has been in this position is still short, and he inevitably feels that Liang Guang, Deng Fang and others are inferior in his heart.

Of course, he didn't know that Liang Guang had changed his habits of fighting with Lao Hui since the Battle of Runing Fucheng, and after being appointed by Yang Kai as the commander of the army, he wanted to prove himself more and more.

It is precisely because of this that when the West City Gate has not been effective for a long time, he will be anxious, so that he will lose his square inch for a while, and personally go into battle to command, resulting in this effect.

Yang Kai could see through the reason, but the matter of punishment was still inappropriate, he would not be stupid enough to punish the main general at the critical moment when the city was about to be broken, he just nodded.

The messenger finally remembered what Han Bin told him to bring back, and said: "General Han said, although De'an is difficult, it is not as good as Runing, our army has to defend the head of the general, taking into account the southeast direction, and General Cao will strike hard.

At the end of the strong crossbow of the guards, the officers and troops wanted to combine soft and hard, and took the original strategy of the Heishuiyu officers and troops to surrender our army, set up red and white flags, surrendered with a loud voice from afar, and fought hard to attack the gate, move their military hearts, and destroy their city gates.

Under the command of the former general, he will be able to complete the order on time when he goes down to the city of De'an within ten days. ”

This plan is very good, and told General Han to let it go. Inform the army of the West Road that General Ben has led reinforcements on the road, and Feng Niangzi's wounded battalion followed. ”

Yang Kai didn't let the messenger go back to deliver the message, and handed over the task of this messenger to a personal soldier beside him, probably wanting to let the soldiers in front know that they had a solid backing in the rear.

As soon as the West Route Military Newspaper was read, the South Route Military Newspaper also followed.

"General Cao listened to Mr. Yin's suggestion, and used the cover of the regular army to concentrate on bombarding the two city gates in the southeast, and the weakest position of the official army's defense, the bombardment of the city for a day, the shells have been used up, but the effect is very good, and the city wall has been blasted out of a gap by firearms.

The defenders in the city are concentrating on repairs, and when the villain came, General Cao had already transferred troops and sent troops to the location where the mouth was located, and it was Hu Shahu and Liang Daya who were ordered to go to the two deputy thousand households. ”

After hearing this, the army was cheered up again, and most of them were summoned by Yanhou and Zhao Hu in the street, and only after a few days of simple training of soldiers, although they learned some skills, everyone had the intention of going to the battlefield to test, but when the army came out, they were still confused.

After all, as a general, they will not tell them the strategic direction, purpose, and many things that only those in charge need to consider, and they maintain a greedy and timid idea for Huguang, who is not familiar with people.

But now it's different, two military orders in succession wordlessly told them that this ruthless new boss took them to Huguang to win the battle.

So everybody is getting more and more excited.

Also arrange for the messenger to go down to rest, for the battle in Dongcheng, Yang Kai intends not to intervene for the time being, to give them enough space to play on their own, only when the commander is not there, and the army goes out to fight independently, can the general's talent be revealed.

In this regard, Yang Kai's old department did obviously better than Liang Guang's new department, which of course was indispensable Yin Zuochan, a figure who broke the balance between the two armies, and the advantage of firearms in Dongcheng was much greater than that in Xicheng.

But this is war. It is impossible to ensure that every battle can be done stronger than the enemy when preparing for war.

In order to give full play to the general's immediate battle, in the case of knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, it is the best policy to skillfully use the conditions such as the right time, place and people to find the position where the enemy is weak and we are strong, and give the enemy a fatal blow.

Judging from the reports of the two armies, it was only a matter of time before the city of De'an was captured.

Yang Kai once again pulled out the map from the horse's back cloth bag, and no longer considered the battle in De'an Mansion City, but instead considered the strategy of Yunmeng, Yingcheng, and Xiaogan counties.

Fucheng took a look, waved the division south to Yunmeng recently, Yingcheng and Xiaogan separated Yunmeng left and right, all of which were blocked by rivers.

In Yunmeng's division of troops, the speed of the march will not be as smooth as their south, and the time for adjustment is very small.

It is even more difficult to ensure that the city is successfully captured, and to ensure that the news does not leak.

Since he couldn't get the best of both worlds, Yang Kai simply retreated.

Anyway, if they want to hide the traces of the army, it is no longer possible, and the news will leak no matter what.

Not to mention anything else, there are not a few people who have fled when they hear the news, they can't and can't kill all these people, so it's better to let the news disperse, expand their momentum to the south, and make everyone think that they are aiming to be in the hinterland of Huguang.

After conquering Yunmeng, first spread rumors, moved the hearts of the two cities of Yingcheng and Xiaogan, fanned the bitter people to cause chaos, and promised to reward those who surrendered to sincerity, so that they were overwhelmed.

When they go to attack, then bluff, the city is lost, back to the camp to take the Guangshan, the mall area, will inevitably go south to wash the Huangzhou Mansion, such a vast momentum, Xiaogan back to the enemy, and then become a lonely city.

Yingcheng is nothing more than a situation of two middle schools, it is good to be able to descend, and it is not bad to escape, and it is not bad to be able to take the news of the Liukou's large-scale southern invasion to Chengtian, Xiangyang and other places, which is in line with Yang Kai's plan to expand his momentum.

By the time the officials and troops gathered to suppress them, they had completely controlled the entire De'an Mansion and went to Hanyang and Wuchang.

At this time, Yingcheng set up another fierce general to ambush according to the mountain, and defend the city, and the official army will be difficult to break through in a short time.

What's more, there is another point, they are so public, they will definitely be able to attract the attention of Wuchang, and He Jin's army went south, and in a hundred years, it has been invisibly amazing.

Shili Wuchang.

The first battle of Wuchang, if it is successful, it will be successful, and if it is not successful, it will be transferred to Hanyang, and the troops will be concentrated along the north of the river, first entering Chengtian, and then encircling it back, and in Beijing and Hongshan, the prestige of the official army will be greatly defeated.

The plan is set, and another day of marching is made.

In the evening, Yang Kai walked up to the high ground with the Tanma, and as far as the eye could see, thirty or forty miles away from the mountain, it was the city of De'an Mansion, and the fire in the city was everywhere, and the smoke was billowing out.
