Chapter 121 Abandoned City (1)
Updated: 2012-10-19
The battlefield in Jiangxia was filled with sorrow. The three generals of Wei State left behind in Jiangxia, Wang Jun, Zhang Guang and Zhao Yu were injured one after another at the hands of the Shu army, and no one dared to go out of the city to fight.
The Wei army here originally hoped to reinforce the battlefields on both sides of the east and west after defeating the Shu army, but the Shu Han beast soldiers and general Wen Yang on the front were both difficult opponents to defeat by the Wei army. The 60,000 to 70,000 Wei troops had no leader and could only stay in the city to defend the city, and their morale was declining day by day.
The Shu army outside the city was not as strong as the Wei army, but in the field battles, the power was doubled. Especially in the night battle, it was invincible. In addition, Wen Yang was brave, Sun Xi and his wife were not bad, and they showed off their power outside Jiangxia City every day, which was very powerful.
There are many important towns in Jiangxia, but Shiyang is the one with the best geographical location. However, Shiyang was destroyed in the past and has never been rebuilt, so Jiangxia City became the capital of Jiangxia County.
The other cities and counties continued to fall after the four strategies of Shu generals Wang Ye, Zhang Xiong, Huang De and others. Almost all the territory of Jiangxia County was occupied by the Shu army!
If the fall of most parts of Jiangxia cut off the connection between the Wei army and the outside world in Jiangxia City, there was no news about the battlefields of all parties, the Wei army became even more confused and helpless, and had no control.
Wang Jun was frowning and discussed countermeasures with Zhang Guang and Zhao Yu every day, but he was helpless. The three of them had not recovered yet, and their martial arts skills were all reduced, so they were very afraid of Wen Yang.
"All news from all over the country is isolated. If this continues, we will become a bird in a cage!" Wang Jun was drinking the medicine soup in the hall and couldn't help but sigh.
Zhao Yu also held a bowl of medicine soup and sighed: "Wen Yang's courage is probably still above Jiang Wei. When we go to the battle at this moment, we have no chance of winning, we can only endure it."
"Dang!"
Wang Jun shook his hand and the porcelain bowl was thrown into pieces, and the medicine soup splashed all over the floor. Several maids were a little panicked and quickly cleaned the hall.
"Why should you be angry, General? We are most afraid of being angry when we are injured." A gentle voice came, which was pleasing to the eye, and the speaker was Zhang Guang.
Among the three, Wang Jun is an old general with the highest official position. Although the position of Jiangxia prefect temporarily took over, his troops under him are actually comparable to that of a legion. Zhao Yu and Zhang Guang are one of the long-time generals in the court and the other are the rising stars. The combination of the three is very tacit, and they also appreciate each other.
"The Shu people tried their best to attack, but we just sat down and waited for death. This would only gradually fall into the control of the Shu people. It is so disgusting!" Wang Jun roared, and Zhao Yu and Zhang Guang didn't care.
During the days when he was injured, the old general Wang Jun became more and more irritable. Everyone understood Wang Jun very much because Wang Jun was Wang Ji's successor and was regarded by everyone as a person who could go along with Du Yu. However, Du Yu made many contributions in Nanyang, and there were Hu brothers in the two Huai Rivers, so Wang Jun had to surrender in Jiangxia.
Compared with Nanyang and Lianghuai, Jiangxia has a more flexible strategic choice. This is when Wang Jun made achievements and proved himself, just...
"Since there is no news, you and I might as well speculate that the war between Nanyang and Huaihe River is still boring." Zhang Guang smiled and a pleasant voice sounded again.
"There is a Huyang defense line in Nanyang that is indestructible. In addition, Du Yuankai is in Wancheng to support all directions, so it is difficult for the Shu army to land." Zhao Yu threw a brick and led the way with great interest.
"The Hu brothers built three acropolis in Shouchun, which echoed each other and were very strong. In addition, they were heavily defended and lured the Shu army into deep. This arrangement looked perfect." Zhang Guang glanced at Wang Jun and then said.
"Bah!" Wang Jun felt even more unhappy when he saw the two of them opening their mouths.
Zhao Yu smiled and said, "If Brother Peng Zu attacked these two places, I wonder how to start?"
Wang Jun, whose courtesy name was Peng Zu, sneered at him: "Ma Xiaoxing is just a fool, and Hu Xuan's talent is limited. How can he be the opponent of the Shu army? These two places are not difficult to break!"
"Ma Xiaoxing is good at calculating and precise design, and is a good general; Hu Xuanwei has been through the battlefield for a long time and has good dispatch, and is also a rare person. General Peng Zu, you may have said these two people like this, right?" Zhang Guang looked at Zhao Yu and said without any pain.
Wang Jun snorted coldly and said, "Liu Chan has a profound strategy, Jiang Wei is unparalleled in the world, Yang Hu and Zhuge Zhan are not inferior to Du Yuankai and Hu Xuanwei. In terms of military strength, Shu Han is even more powerful this time. The generals who commanded the army are not inferior, and the military strength is the upper hand. What is the reason for Nanyang and Lianghuai to be safe and sound?"
Zhao Yu said in a silence: "If this is the case, will we wait for death not seeking death?"
Zhang Guang said after a while: "What General Peng Zu said is very little that Yuansun and I expected. The Shu army is not in a hurry to break the city, so it depends on it."
"Not bad! I'll be isolated from the news, but looking at the shape of Shu people, you can tell what the situation outside." Zhao Yu sighed.
Wang Jun narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Yu and Zhang Guang and said, "Yuansun, Jing Wu, since you two have plans, why not just say it? It's not your personality."
Zhao Yu looked at Zhang Guang. Zhang Guang looked at Zhao Yu, but after all, Zhao Yu stood up and said, "There is no news about the war between the East and West, and it is useless to defend the lonely city of Jiangxia. The general finally discussed with Zhang Jingwu for a long time. At this time, the general should have made a decision."
"Hmm? Decisive..." Wang Jun also understood what the two meant and remained silent for a moment.
Zhang Guang also stood up and said, "General Peng Zu has been in Jiangxia for many years and has been betting on a lot of hard work. We all understand. However, the geography here is special. Once the east and west roads are decided by the Shu army, we will all be in the jar. Please think twice!"
Since Shu Han vigorously produced and used the catapult car designed by Ma Jun, the lonely city has become history. If a single city is surrounded by the Shu army, it will be attacked by the catapult. No matter how high or thick your city wall is, it will be smashed sooner or later...
The Shu army does not have enough power to siege the city, and the Wei army also has the advantage. If we decide to abandon the city at this time, with the strength of the Wei army, we can completely choose the Lianghuai battlefield in the east or the Nanyang battlefield in the west as the target of resignation.
If the two dusts settled and Shu Han gathered enough troops, Jiangxia's tens of thousands of Wei troops would have no way to escape...
Wang Jun leaned against the big chair, closed his eyes and thought carefully. Zhao Yu and Zhang Guang stood alone, silent. Wang Jun was not an indecisive person. They believed that no matter what the result was, they would soon have an answer.
"Yuansun!" Wang Jun shouted weakly.
"The last general is here!" Zhao Yu hugged his fists, with a firm expression.
"Count the troops, money, grain, arms, and the treasury in the city, and report later."
"Yes!" Zhao Yu was cheered up when he saw Wang Jun say this.
"Jing Wu!" Wang Jun straightened his body and said.
Zhang Guangyouran stood up and said, "Zhang Guang has been waiting for a long time."
"Follow me to go out of the city and see how powerful the Shu army is!" Wang Jun slapped his legs and stood up with a sigh, his eyes extremely firm!
The soldiers of Wei State at the head of Jiangxia City were still inspecting, and the city gate was quietly opened. Wang Jun swung his sword in front, Zhang Guang was behind, and led three thousand iron cavalry to break out of the city and rushed straight to the Shu army camp!
After besieging the Wei army for a long time, the Shu army did not neglect to guard against the Wei army because of the inability to retreat. As soon as the Wei cavalry showed up, the Shu army outside the camp rushed back to the camp and used infantry to fight against the cavalry. This was not a good idea.
"The Shu people did not stop it. It was strange. Follow me to attack the camp!" Wang Jun saw that the Shu army did not stop the Wei army from leaving the city, but retreated into the camp. This was not like the tactic of siege.
The Shu camp was listed under the city, so it was naturally the most solid. The Wei cavalry came and the Shu army was ready to fight.
"Huh? Change the direction with me!" Wang Jun would not really use cavalry to attack the Shu army camp. No matter how big or small the camp is, even if it is vulnerable, it will not attack.
The reason is very simple. Only when the three thousand Wei cavalry maintain their mobility can they return to the city. Otherwise, once they encounter the Shu army enters a battle, will it affect the speed and queue? There will inevitably be some surprises. This trip is a test, and there is no need to greed for killing a few Shu army, which will delay major events.
The Wei cavalry circled the open space for a few times, and there was no movement around. The Shu army in the camp was just watching and on guard. This situation made Wang Jun and Zhang Guang quite puzzled. There was no Shu army going to fight everywhere, and there was no Shu army stopping it. Instead, the Wei army was a little at a loss...
