Chapter 89: All Initiation (Part 1)
The heavy rains over several days caused the Wu army's logistics transportation to a relatively difficult period. The roads were muddy and the carriages were difficult to move, which seriously delayed the transportation efficiency of supplies.
Ordinary vehicles are filled with money, grain and supplies, and the amount is limited. These cars that load grain, fodder and equipment can use them to load and unload stones. This weight is much greater. It is these vehicles loading stones that are difficult to move forward on the dirt road in the rain, which delays the speed of the entire transportation team.
Wu Bingren, who was transporting, wore a straw raincoat or a rain hat, were moving slowly with the vehicles in the heavy rain. The heavy rain fell for a long time, causing more and more water on the roads. The already hard work became more difficult and hard.
The transportation team had been set off from Nanxiangcheng, the capital of Nanxiang County for more than fifty miles. Wu Bing was exhausted and it was really hard to get any excitement when it was hit by the heavy rain.
"Well? Why did it stop again!" When Wu Bing saw the convoy in front stopped moving forward, he couldn't help complaining. At this time, he usually arrived at the Wu army camp in Xuchang. The speed was faster, and the handover procedures were probably completed. Now, people are getting irritated.
"It must be the wheel that has been trapped again. Alas... I have to transport stones from all the way, it's really unlucky!" Wu Bing nearby stopped, and someone surrounded him and complained.
"I heard that the collection ahead was not smooth, and the Wei people always harassed them. If you want to win, you all depend on these stones." Wu soldiers were used to stopping along the way, so they gathered together to chat continuously.
"That's true, but why don't the Wei people come here? I can let the Wei people taste my sharp knife!" A strong man laughed.
Another middle-aged soldier raised his leg and kicked the man and scolded, "No, the Grand Governor has long sent someone to guard the nearby roads, so it is not so easy for the Wei people to come here."
The strong man was kicked, stepped out four or five steps and ran back with a smile and said, "My sword technique is passed down from my ancestors, so don't underestimate it."
"Come on... Huh?" The middle-aged veteran was about to make fun of him, but suddenly something seemed to have happened in a mess in the distance.
Several soldiers looked up and saw that there was indeed some chaos in the distance. The heavy rain kept falling on the ground one after another, blurring its vision and obscuring all sounds.
"Not good! Scrawl the guy!" The middle-aged veteran told himself that he should be on guard at this time.
Seeing this, the strong man smiled and was about to say something, but the veteran in front of him suddenly swelled and rushed towards him! "Uncle Tan, you..." The strong man subconsciously bent down and entered a defensive posture. He suddenly felt a chill on his back, and a heart-wrenching pain came...
"There is an ambush!" The middle-aged veteran named Uncle Tan roared loudly, and at the same time the steel knife in his hand slashed at the enemy behind the strong man! The steel knife was cut off in an instant. Although there was no time to save the strong man, he could definitely avenge him!
"Clang." In the heavy rain, you can vaguely hear the sound of steel knives slashing with the opponent's weapons. This is not an enemy, but a group of enemies... Countless Wei soldiers wearing straw raincoats rushed out from both sides of the road, silently approaching the unpreventive Wu army like a ghost.
"Protect the grain truck!" A faint shout of Wu people was heard behind the team. Uncle Tan led his own garrison to chop three or four Wei soldiers, but four or five were knocked down by the Wei soldiers. The transportation team was more than ten miles long. Although the Wei army suddenly appeared came from somewhere, the number was definitely quite large.
The people who were the best at Uncle Tan's village were suddenly killed by poisoning one after another. The rest rely on Uncle Tan's rich combat experience to cause considerable damage. The Wei people seemed to recognize Uncle Tan and came up one after another. Uncle Tan's steel swords were flying all over the sky, guarding a tight and airtight. If the strong man did not die, he would definitely feel ashamed. The ancestral sword technique he boasted about was not even as big as that of this veteran named Tan.
The rain became more and more fierce, and the battle situation became even more tragic. The Wu soldiers in the transportation team were killed and injured before they could defend themselves, but the rest of them were outnumbered in resistance. More and more Wu soldiers fell to the ground, and their blood was mixed with the rain and moistened the soil, as if they were shouting.
Uncle Tan was left with only two or three people, fighting back to back with more than a dozen Wei soldiers. The sound of rain and occasional thunder overwhelmed all the sounds on the battlefield. From the corner of his eyes, he could only see Wu soldiers fighting with Wei people in groups of three or three around him. He could not hear the sound, and the atmosphere was extremely strange.
...
Shortly after the transportation team was in a vain, Wu Bing, who was in charge of communication, ran to Nanxiang City with mud and reported the war ahead to the Nanxiang City garrison. The transportation team was related to the survival of more than 100,000 troops in front. The Nanxiang City garrison was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly ordered 3,000 troops to go out of the city to aid the transportation team.
Not long after the three thousand Wu soldiers followed the Wu soldiers who came to report the news in the heavy rain, there were another group of people under the city, with four or five thousand people, but the flag was Wei army. The Wei general was burly, holding the big sword in his hand constantly, looking like he had no place to use his strength.
"Assiege!" Wei General said concisely and ordered the four or five thousand Wei troops to rush to Nanxiangcheng with ladders. The Wu army in the city followed the transportation team for more than halfway, and the three thousand people were taken away by the guards. There were only more than one thousand people left in the city. How to deal with the fierce attack of the five thousand Wei troops?
The heavy rain flowed down the wall along the wall, but it could not stop the Wei people's ladder. The Wu army shot arrows on the top of the city, and the arrows were beaten without any stance or strength by the raindrops, and they could not cause any substantial damage when they fell on the Wei army. Some people threw stones and threw wood to smash the Wei army, but Nanxiang's supplies and stones were loaded into a cart and transported to the camp ahead. There were too few things to use...
The Wei people climbed the cloud ladder without restraint and soon climbed to the top of the city to fight with the Wu army guarding the city. The Wu army was already a little scared when they were raided by the Wei army, and now they could only bite the bullet and respond. With such a mind and state, the military strength was far inferior to the Wei army. How could they defend the city?
There were more and more Wei troops on the top of the city. The Wu army was killed and injured. The remaining troops could not resist the Wei people and had to retreat into the city. They just had to survive. The Wei army besieged the city gates were soon broken under the siege of the city. The Wei army had no place to use it. Seeing this, the Wei general who had no place to laughed wildly, and circled the sword and rushed into the Wu army crowd!
The wailing sound kept passing through the rain, looking so pale and powerless. The more Wei generals were killed, the more they became, the more they became. The more they killed, the more they became, the more they became. The Wu soldiers actually threw away their weapons and fled with their heads in their arms.
"Hmph! Useless Wu Gou, clear the city for me!" The Wei general snorted coldly.
"General, there are not many Wu Gou in the city, but should I go and pick up General Yang?" A powerful general came to the Wei general and asked with a question.
"Yang Zhishu is very smart, so I don't have to worry about it. I'm just worried about whether the Zhang brothers can succeed." General Wei stopped his bravery and turned into a contemplative expression.
The fierce general said, "Since that's the case, I'll go and clear Wu Gou in the city and then inquire."
The Wei general smiled and said, "It's a blessing for Brother Wang."
The powerful general nodded slightly, and led Ma Tishuo and hundreds of people to rush into the nearby alley to intercept and kill the Wei army. The Wei general looked at the powerful general with a smile on his face and looked back and said, "Brother Wang Qi is worthy of being the powerful general recommended by General Wang, so I can relax."
The deputy generals behind him all had serious faces and had no objection when they heard this. Wang Qi was recommended by Wei Tingsu general Wang Ji. He was a member of the Wang family and had excellent strategies and martial arts. Even if he was jealous, he had to respect his ability.
"Xiahou Xian's team seems to be slower. Please wait and go outside the city to inquire, be careful not to let the Wu people kill one of them back." The Wei general remembered something and ordered the generals of each division to act. After the generals left, the Wei general sat on the horse, drizzled in heavy rain, looked at the quiet streets with a comfortable mood, and said to himself: "This battle is really boring..."
...
The reinforcements from Nanxiangcheng were only more than 30 miles away from the city and were ambushed by the Wei army. It was better to say it was an ambush... The Wei army seemed to have just arrived. The troops in front were put into the battlefield. After a moment of fierce fighting, the follow-up troops arrived one after another.
The effect of such an ambush was greatly reduced. The Wei army had fewer troops in the early stage, which made the Wu army slow down and fought. By the time the Wei army entered the battle, it was already a 50-5 melee. Wei general Xiahou Xian was very regretful and tried his best to get a place in this operation. As a result, because of his lack of preparation, the troops were disconnected from each other.
The Wei soldiers in front were eager to arrive at their positions within the effective time and ambush the Wu army; the subsequent Wei army was unable to keep up with the front team for various reasons. It should have been a beautiful ambush battle, but Xiahou Xian had the effect of a melee. If this was spread, it would probably make Yang Xiu, who ambushed the Wu people's transportation team and Jia Fu, who sneaked into Nanxiangcheng, laughed out loud!
"Kill! Those who retreat will kill!" Xiahou Xian saw that the Wu army's thoughts seemed to be involved in a lot by the transportation team, so he seized the only remaining fighter and inspired the troops to move forward!
Even the reinforcements in Nanxiangcheng would be ambushed, and the situation of the transportation team in front could be imagined. This is definitely not the Wei army in Xuchang. If it were Xuchang's Wei army, why did there be no movement? The general of Wu Guonan Township kept analyzing the situation in his heart. The more he thought, the more he felt disappointed. The armor was so thoroughly beaten by the heavy rain that people couldn't help but make a clever move.
If the Nanxiang garrison learned that Nanxiangcheng was also within the appetite of the Wei army, I wonder what he would think...
The Wei army continued to push forward, and the morale of the Wu army gradually declined, and the overall formation continued to move backward. Rainy days were originally unpleasant, and the continuous ambush made people even more panicked. During the process of the Wu army moving backward, some people kept falling down and fell into the mud and had no chance to get up again.
