Chapter 3333 I thought
It has to be said that for generals who are close to first-class or nearly first-class, and even for those who are not first-class but have unusual acumen for the battlefield, casual guesses can be surprisingly accurate.
Just as Zhu Ling guessed, under Pang Tong''s order, Wuguan''s attack on Wuguandao was officially launched.
With the sound of drums and under the guidance of the three-color battle flag, more than two thousand infantry troops marched out of Wuguan in a mighty manner and advanced along the Wuguan Road. In front of the army were hussars scouts spread out, and then Fang''s military governor generals were Huang Zhong and Pang Shanmin.
Many people think that Wuguan is a point, but in fact Wuguan is a road.
There are various large and small passes on the Wuguan Road that were left over from the time when Qin and Chu fell in love and killed each other. They can all be called Wuguan Pass. Of course, the largest pass was given to Cao Jun, but Cao Jun also lost it after taking it. To increase the stamina of the attack...
Now, it is time to regain the Wuguan Pass.
?There are also Nanyang and Wancheng...
For ordinary hussar soldiers, attacking Jingxiang may be just another place to gain meritorious service, but for the people of Pangshan, it has some special significance.
?In order to contain the Hussars Middle Route Army, Cao Cao sent Cao Ren to fight for Wuguan. Pang Shanmin had to give up Wancheng. Although Pang Shanmin had considered a long time ago that giving up Wancheng would be a last resort if an unfavorable situation really occurred, but he still felt reluctant to give up.
?Now marching into Jingxiang means that it is possible to recapture Wancheng again. For the people of Pangshan, they can''t help but feel extremely anxious, expecting and fearing at the same time. Not to mention what I am looking forward to, what I am afraid of is that Cao Jun will cause too much damage to Wancheng, or if I hear that they are marching, what was not completely destroyed will eventually be destroyed...
So even though they have already marched, Pang Shanmin''s brows are still frowning.
After all, Pang Tong is Pang Tong, and Pangshan people are Pangshan people.
Although most people in Jingxiang would not treat Pang Tong and Pang Shanmin separately, in fact, Pang Shanmin still had some concerns about them. Not much, but I can''t say there''s none at all. After all, Pang Shanmin is not yet old, and he has not yet reached the level of open-mindedness that his father has.
At the same time, he also had a hidden thought in his heart, which was that he hoped to inherit the name of Pangzi in Jingxiang. Maybe after many years, there will be a Pangzi in Jingxiang and a Pangzi in Guanzhong.
Pang Degong has passed away.
As a direct descendant of Pang De Gong, if he cannot inherit the name of Pang De Gong, but allows a subordinate to become a world-famous representative of the Pang family, it not only shows the excellence of Pang Tong, but also shows the incompetence of Pang Shanmin.
In fact, Pang Shanmin may not realize that although his father Pang Degong has always been very fond of him, he has no special requirements. Even at that time, Liu Biao wanted to borrow Pang Degong''s name and more or less came out to give Pang Shanmin a When he was idle from his official position, Pang Degong refused.
It means love and protection, and there is another point that Pang Degong has never said: Pang Shanmin''s talent is not as good as Pang Tong...
Fortunately, Pang Shanmin had no intention of fighting Pang Tong. He just wanted to return to Jingxiang and regain Pang''s original status and territory in Jingxiang. He just didn''t want Pang Degong''s name to disappear in Jingxiang. That’s all.
A person always has multiple identities. Generally speaking, Pang Shanmin is a good person, but he seems a little inconspicuous under Pang Tong''s shadow. And even if Pang Shanmin himself doesn''t care, his wife and his children may not be as open-minded as he or his father.
Before Cao Jun attacked Wuguan, although Pang Shanmin also assisted in Wuguan, the most important responsibilities were taken by Liao Hua and Huang Zhong. In fact, Pang Shanmin did not bear much pressure, but did not bear enough pressure on the battlefield. , naturally there can be no big gains or growth, so Pang Shanmin doesn''t have much confidence in this battle, unlike Huang Zhong beside him who is as confident as he is.
After all, the troops he brought with him were not many, less than 3,000.
??If there are 30,000 soldiers and horses, the people of Pangshan will be extremely relaxed...
F2A, as long as you have hands.
Of course this is impossible.
So it is normal for the people of Pangshan to look worried.
The fewer the soldiers, the more careful deployment is required. There is no capital for laziness and slippage. Only detailed planning and point-to-point planning can lead to a smooth attack.
Pang Shanmin also spent some time in Xiangyang. He knew that Xiangyang was not easy to fight. Even though there was great pressure, when Pang Tong''s order was conveyed to Wuguan, Pang Shanmin did not hesitate.
Wuguandao, of course, it is impossible to have any artillery support.
Mountain roads and dense forests, even in later generations, are still a nightmare for Butan collaboration.
As for grenades and gunpowder, there are some, but not much, so we can''t squander them.
Huang Zhong commanded more than two thousand men and horses, which did not reach the upper limit of his processor. He was relaxed and comfortable. Not only could he adjust the speed of the men and horses in real time, he could also take the time to glance at Pang Shanmin''s face and guess what he was worried about. He felt relieved. Said: "Master Pang, there is no need to worry. Your Majesty has said that it is not advisable to attack with force this time." 』
It’s not advisable to take it with force? Pang Shanmin thought for a while, nodded, and then asked hesitantly, "Then where should we come from?" 』
Huang Zhong smiled and said, "Your Majesty said, wait for the news, wait a little longer..."
『Wait a little longer? Pang Shanmin was just like Zhu Ling when he heard these words, he was astonished and confused, "What does it mean?" 』
??Although Pang Shanmin and Pang Tong are relatives and cannot be written twice in one stroke, things like this still need to be communicated through a third party. A little weird, but normal. Just like in a family, parents and children need to communicate through third-party hardware and software...
Of course, Huang Zhong didn''t quite understand what Pang Tong''s "waiting for news" meant, but he was not in a hurry and believed that Pang Tong would definitely make arrangements.
?While the two were talking, a soldier came back to report that the vanguard had discovered Cao''s army, like Wenpin''s troops...
After Wenpin captured Wuguan Pass, he stationed himself at Wuguan Pass.
Because no one ordered him to retreat.
Even though Cao Zhen and Cao Ren had retreated to Jingxiang, Wenpin was still on the Wuguan Road, at the dilapidated pass where he had spent countless lives to barely advance one step forward.
Others are at best in a dilemma, but Wenpin is facing three dilemmas at the moment.
It was no longer possible to advance. Not only were the soldiers and soldiers exhausted, but even Wenpin''s own private soldiers were almost exhausted, and they had not received any reinforcements from Cao''s army. After all, Jingxiang couldn''t care about Cao Jun''s own **** at the moment, so how could he care about Wenpin''s life and death?
Retreat without Cao Ren''s order. Even though Cao Jun left when he wanted, it didn''t seem that Wuguan was treating it as a life-and-death matter. But if Wenpin and his men retreated without a clear order, they would be in a state of ruin. Put it on your own head!
It is also impossible to guard.
??How hard it was for Cao''s army to fight before, now it is equally difficult to defend.
?After the news was relayed back from the checkpoint, the expressions of almost all the defenders of Cao''s army who were still here changed. These people hurriedly ran up to the broken pass city wall, and then looked into the distance with eager eyes.
I only saw a tricolor flag peeking out from the far corner of the mountain road.
?On the mountain road, there are also the sounds of marching slogans of soldiers coming faintly along the mountains, like rolling thunder in the sky, which will bring violent storms in a moment.
?The cold light of those sharp spears exudes a frightening atmosphere among the mountains and forests.
Wenpin also climbed onto the observation tower, staring at the hussars coming from a distance, his face pale.
He expected the Hussars to come back, but he didn''t expect them to come so soon!????He has tried his best.
Perhaps, here…
Is this where he is buried?
General! General! 』
?A few shouts from the general brought Wenpin''s mind back to the cruel reality.
Wenpin turned around and saw his own bodyguard calling him. Looking at the guard''s face, which was so thin that his jawbones were high, Wenpin couldn''t help but feel a throbbing pain in his heart. The Wen family is not a huge family. Every member of the family is precious, and this is even more so for Wenpin. People in the family followed Wenpin because they trusted Wenpin, but now Wenpin brought them all to death.
Some have died, and the rest have only one breath left.
『Don’t worry, they won’t attack so quickly. 』
Wenpin said slowly, trying to stabilize the morale of the army in this way, "They also need to build some siege equipment, at least a few shield vehicles and ladders..."
As he spoke, Wenpin noticed that the faces of his subordinates and the surrounding Cao Jun soldiers were getting darker and darker, and he quickly added, "Here comes someone!" Report this letter quickly! rest assured! General Cao will not leave us alone! 』
?Although Wenpin said it categorically, everyone may have an answer in their mind.
??As for the comparison of the number of soldiers, in fact, the number of Wenpin staying here is not small. Generally speaking, the number of soldiers stationed here by the Hussars was similar to that of the same number of more than a thousand people. Logically speaking, since it is equivalent, even if the damage to the pass is deducted, the Hussars held on for more than a month at that time, and now Wenpin can hold on for at least ten and a half days...
It’s just that it would be great if war could be calculated so simply.
The hussars did not seem to move very fast, but in fact there was no pause in the queue, so they were quite smooth, as if they were swimming on a mountain road. Soon, Cao Jun''s field of vision was filled with red tassels on the ducks one after another.
Wenpin turned around and looked around, and saw that the red tassels seemed to have sucked the blood of the surrounding Cao soldiers.
…
Wenpin sighed softly in his heart, but even he himself could not tell clearly what he wished for.
Just when Wenpin was sighing secretly, Cao Jun''s battle against Jiangling had already begun.
??Although Lu Su rushed all the way to Xu County to start negotiations and wanted to heal the broken alliance, for Cao Ren, losing Jiangling was like Jiangdong people **** on his head...
Although he said he didn''t care whether Jiangling was good or bad, in Cao Ren''s opinion, at least Jiangling was his dog. The people of Jiangdong killed him for meat without saying a word. Have they ever asked him as the owner?
If you can''t defeat the Hussars, Cao''s army is more or less acceptable. After all, most of the Hussars are elites. It''s like a scumbag seeing a top student. He doesn''t feel any shame if he doesn''t win the exam, but if he can''t even do the same Even the scumbag Kodong people can''t pass the exam, so they are really the younger brothers among the big men!
??Therefore, even if the arrows and crossbows roared down from Jiangling City, as long as they entered the place where they were shot, they would be in danger of being shot, but Cao Jun still shouted and pushed the shield chariot forward.
There is basically no problem with the shield vehicle''s resistance to arrows, but if it is a crossbow, it will inevitably suffer some damage.
The flying wood chips hit Cao Jun’s helmet, making a clanking sound.
??The broken shield chariot remained on the road where the soldiers passed, turning into waste on the battlefield. Blood flowed all around, like blooming **** flowers. The moat in front of the Gangneung City Wall has been hollowed out and drained, and the ditches have been filled with wooden planks and soil to create two or three attack surfaces.
More than 2,000 infantry troops approached within a hundred steps of Jiangling City and began to attack amid the passionate beating of war drums.
??The animal instincts in Cao Jun''s blood were aroused. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is a talent that can be learned without a teacher. Facing Jiangdong''s army, they howled crazily, earth-shattering and majestic.
??Jiangling''s Jiangdong soldiers showed their good skills and fired rapidly, focusing on attacking Cao''s troops who were rushing towards them. Every time dense arrows whizzed down, some of Cao''s soldiers would always fall, but this could not stop the surge of Cao''s soldiers.
In view of Jiangdong''s absolute superiority in long-range fire bows and crossbows, Cao Ren simply gave up suppressing bows and arrows, and rushed directly to engage Jiangdong''s army in close combat. After suffering considerable casualties, Cao Ren''s infantry finally broke into the enemy''s territory under the cover of the last remaining shield vehicles. On the city wall of Jiangling, hand-to-hand combat began on the city.
?Jiangdong Army seemed a little weak after entering the hand-to-hand combat, and casualties continued to soar in the **** close combat. On the city wall, spears and swords came and went, in and out, carrying juices and foams of various colors, singing happily among the human tissues.
??Some shooters from Jiangdong''s army also tried to stand on the higher turret lookout to snipe Cao''s soldiers.
Jiangdong is dominated by the navy, which means that most of Jiangdong''s soldiers wear leather armor suitable for fighting on the water, and rarely wear iron armor like weights. However, this advantage on the water is natural on land. became a disadvantage.
Arrows are naturally extremely sharp at a certain distance, but when the enemy and we are mixed together, even if you have extraordinary shooting skills, you may not be able to guarantee that you will hit someone...
On the contrary, Cao Jun''s infantry are more accustomed to fighting on land. The armor they imitate the Hussars also makes their health bar longer than that of Jiangdong Army. In addition, Cao Jun''s infantry are used to attacking one city after another. , also has considerable experience in cooperative combat with multiple weapons, especially in the cooperation between shield soldiers and spearmen. He showed very skilled combat skills and launched a **** battle with Jiangdong Army on the city wall.
Even though the number of Cao''s soldiers is smaller than that of Jiangdong''s soldiers on the city wall, Jiangdong''s soldiers will not be able to drive Cao''s army down for a while!
?While the battle for Jiangling City was unfolding, Cao Jun also coordinated the attack on the Jiangdong Army camp and water village outside Jiangling City.
?Especially the Jiangdong Army''s flank fight, which was almost suppressed by Cao''s army.
On the flanks of large armies, cavalry or rapidly moving troops and horses are often the main force. However, Jiangdong Army’s cavalry is a joke in front of Cao Army’s cavalry. Although the cavalry of the Jiangdong Army are basically the troops directly under the generals who are qualified to ride war horses, even for such relatively elite Jiangdong soldiers, their frontal attack combined with the scattered Jiangdong infantry squads to continuously attack Cao Jun from both wings was There were not many cavalry troops, but Cao Jun''s cavalry didn''t know who they learned from. They spread out a military line similar to that of the Hu people, making the front of the entire cavalry line very wide, and then they continuously attacked and trampled in turns.
The cavalry guards on the two wings of Jiangdong Army needed to protect their flanks, so they could not avoid a head-on battle with Cao Jun''s cavalry. However, the riding skills and tactics of these guys in Jiangdong were unable to resist Cao Jun''s cavalry, and they were quickly beaten to the point of being knocked off their feet by Cao Jun''s cavalry. . The guards on both sides of Jiangdong soon suffered heavy losses and completely lost their ability to protect the flanks of the army.
Cao Ren quickly discovered the exposed weakness of Jiangdong Army, and immediately began to attack Jiangdong Army''s flanks with soldiers, trying to cut off the connection between Jiangdong Army''s city and water village, divide and surround Jiangdong Army, and made a plan to conquer these Jiangdong Army. The posture of the army being completely swallowed.
?Jiangdong General Zhu Zhi is now in a state of disarray.
??This general who originally thought he had succeeded in capturing Jiangling and plundering Jingxiangnan County to replenish his own pockets has now been knocked unconscious. Combat on land is completely different from combat on water!
The current surface warfare in the Han Dynasty stage is actually roughly the same line. Because most of the battles are in rivers, the ship-matching battles are similar to linear and single-process, but the battles on land are not like this. The contact area is wide, especially when you encounter a veteran of land warfare like Cao Ren. A sudden output caught Zhu Zhi off guard.
??Zhu Zhi originally thought that he had enough time and reason to move, but he never expected that Lu Xun and Jiang Qin would temporarily repel the Sichuan-Shu navy!
?This caused Zhu Zhi’s originally prepared reasons for withdrawing troops to suddenly disappear...
In the past, Zhu Zhi could still say that the boss does not laugh at the second, and everyone was defeated by the Sichuan and Shu Army. Now they can''t hold it anymore. Naturally, they are good brothers and go together. But he didn''t expect that Lu Xun, a thick-browed and big-eyed man, would do such a thing. out!
As soon as Zhu Zhi couldn''t leave, Cao Ren came naturally.
Zhu Zhi''s ability in water warfare is still good, but of course he is inferior to Cao Ren in land warfare. Not only is Zhu Zhi''s personal ability poor, but Jiangdong''s land warfare ability is also inferior to Cao''s soldiers. Therefore, after Cao Ren launched the attack , not long after resisting, he fell completely passive, and he was about to be cut off by Cao Jun''s sword to cut off the connection between the city and the water village...
?At this moment, a fleet suddenly appeared on the river. Immediately, Jiangdong Army cheered loudly, and their morale suddenly rose!
In the fleet, the flag with the word Zhou is flying high!
Captain Zhou is here!
The soldiers of Jiangling garrison''s water village seemed to have been injected with stimulants, and they immediately suppressed Cao Jun''s offensive momentum.
Seeing this situation, Cao Jun knew that it could not be conquered for the time being, so he retreated like an ebbing tide.
After the disaster, Jiang Dongbing almost cried with joy!
?Zhu Zhi looked up, and the joy on his face turned dark just as he showed it.
