Chapter 201 The day the soldiers came out
Yang Ang led 20,000 elite troops through Micang Road and attacked Sanba directly.
Although Yang Ang was greedy for merit, he still had real information to lead troops. Among the three ba prefects of Badong, Brazil and Ba County, Liu Zhang's relative Pang Xi and general Yan Yan were even more difficult to mess with. The rest was Wang Jun, the prefect of Badong.
So Yang Ang led 20,000 elite troops and brought neat siege equipment, ladders, and well vehicles. After arriving in Badong, he immediately ordered a fierce attack on Badong City.
But Yang Ang had two ideas.
The reason why Liu Zhang divided Ba County into Badong, Baxi and Ba County was because he wanted to station three troops here, namely Pang Xi, Yan Yan and Wang Jun, each leading the way and supporting each other.
Although Yang Ang attacked Badong County and attacked the weak spots, he also left 10,000 elite troops to accumulate energy. He made up his mind if Pang Xi and Yan Yan sent people to rescue Badong and ambush them in a dangerous place.
It was the city that surrounded it and ambushed reinforcements.
If Yan Yan and Pang Xi were not saved when they were dead, then Yang Ang would attack Badong County and then erode the entire Bazhong.
It has to be admitted that Yang Ang still has two tricks, and the Hanzhong army is very loyal and fearless because of the Five Dogs of Rice Sect.
This is why Zhang Lu was able to fight against Liu Zhang.
The situation also developed as Yang Ang expected. Under Yang Ang's fierce attack, Badong Prefect Wang Jun could no longer hold on, so he rescued Yan Yan and Pang Xi.
Pang Xi and Yan Yan immediately sent reinforcements to rescue him. Yang Ang hid in a dangerous place and defeated Pang Xi's reinforcements, killing many of them.
But Yan Yan was obviously not that easy to deal with. Yang Ang's plan to ambush Yan Yan failed. Then Yan Yan joined the remnants of Pang Xi's army, with more than 10,000 troops approaching Badong City. Yang Ang had to divide his troops to defend himself. In this way, less than 10,000 troops under his command were siege.
The originally shaky Badong prefect Wang Jun immediately stabilized the situation, and the two sides were in a stalemate like last year.
Yang Ang was extremely unwilling to accept it.
On that day and night, the moon was bright and the stars were bright. In Yang Ang’s camp, the soldiers stood guard and patrolled in an orderly manner, very solemnly.
Of course, because of the days of attacking the city, the soldiers were injured. The wounded soldiers whistled and wailed from time to time, which made people feel restless.
In the central army's tent, Yang Ang knelt on the commander's seat, put his hands on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and underneath was Wang Hui, the military officer.
The two were talking about this.
"General, Liu Zhang is stronger than us after all. Shuzhong is not far from Bazhong, and Liu Zhang gathers reinforcements and will soon arrive. If this continues, the situation will be unfavorable to us."
Wang Hui said.
"I know too. I thought I could quickly defeat Wang Jun, but now it seems that I underestimated him." Yang Ang said irritably.
"It's better to ask Nan Zheng for help. Nan Zheng still has 30,000 troops left. 20,000 can be drawn, and 10,000 will be left to prevent accidents." Wang Hui thought about it for a while and said.
"Twenty thousand people are too few. If Shuzhong sends reinforcements, at least 20,000 to 30,000. If troops are transferred from Nanzheng, there are no need to say anything about siegeing the city, you can directly block the reinforcements in Shuzhong." Yang Ang sighed.
Yang Ang stood up and paced around the tent. After thinking for a long time, Yang Ang asked, "Can you transfer 4,000 elite soldiers from Hucheng?"
This is a bad idea.
Wang Hui thought for a while and said, "The soldiers and horses of Hucheng are guarding against the princes of the East. If they use them, someone from the East will drive straight into the Han River and capture Hucheng, that will be a concern."
Yang Ang shook his head and said, "The threat from the east is only Liu Biao in Jingzhou. If Liu Biao wants to attack Hanzhong, he must go to the Han River. Now Guan Ping entrenches Fangling and controls some of the waters of the Han River. Liu Biao does not directly threaten Hanzhong, but as for Fangling Guanping."
Yang Ang smiled and said, "Last year, Fangling's grain was not collected. Guan Ping sent someone to buy 200,000 stones of grain to provide disaster relief. It is far from enough, so it needs to be purchased one after another. The Guan family has a grudge against Liu Biao. What if Liu Biao sent troops to Fangling at this time? He is now in a state of great difficulty, how dare he send troops to Hanzhong?"
Wang Hui felt a little uneasy when he thought about it carefully, but he had to admit that it was really tempting to mobilize the soldiers in Tiger City to provide reinforcements.
If there are at least 20,000 reinforcements in Shu, mobilizing troops from Nanzheng can stop the reinforcements in Shu. If there are 4,000 reinforcements from Hucheng, you can join the attack on Badong City.
Once the city of Badong is captured, Hanzhong will have a foothold in Bazhong and can erode Bazhong step by step.
This is too temptation.
So Wang Hui thought about it and nodded slowly.
Yang Ang couldn't wait to sit in the position of coach, and began to write a quick letter, writing a document to Zhang Lu to explain the matter.
A letter was sent to his brother Yang Bai, hoping that Yang Bai could make suggestions in front of Zhang Lu and lead to this matter.
The Yang brothers cooperated with each other, but there was nothing that could not be done in Hanzhong. Nan Zheng responded immediately. Zhang Lu sent his brother Zhang Wei to command 20,000 elite troops south, and mobilized 4,000 elite troops from Hucheng to Yang Ang.
After that, 20,000 to 30,000 troops in Shuzhong rescued Bazhong, and joined Yan Yan's army, with a total of 30,000 to 40,000. Zhang Wei, and Zhang Lu and Zhang Lu's 10,000 troops in total, 30,000 troops were blocked.
Yang Ang led the original 10,000 troops, plus 4,000 reinforcements from Hucheng, and attacked Badongcheng fiercely.
The war in Bazhong is in full swing.
By March, things came to an end. Yang Ang led a large army to capture Badong City.
Yang Ang, who was greedy for merit, finally got what he wanted and created great achievements.
At noon that day, corpses were everywhere on Badong City, and blood was flowing into a river. Arrows and weapons were everywhere. The city gate opened and Yang Ang led his army into Badong City.
This time, a big victory.
Because since Hanzhong confronted Liu Zhang, Hanzhong has attacked Bazhong for many years, but has never broken through the heavy city of Bazhong once. But this time they have broken through Badong City and can use this as a stronghold to erode Bazhong.
"Hahaha!" Yang Ang wore armor and straddled the Xiliang horse, laughing all the way through the North City Gate and entered Badong City, and then sat down in the Badong Prefect's Mansion.
Yang Ang sat in the main seat, and the general under his command, Wang Hui, sat on both sides. Yang Ang said with great enthusiasm: "This is a great merit. I have already asked the lord for me for the merits, and everyone will be rewarded."
"Thank you, General." Everyone in the hall responded with joy.
"It is necessary to be happy, but we should not underestimate the enemy's carelessness. We will do a little renovation in Badong and leave three thousand elite troops to guard the city. Then lead the troops to fight against the reinforcements in Shuzhong. As long as we defeat the reinforcements in Shuzhong, Bazhong will be ours. In a few more years, we can occupy the entire Yizhou. At that time, we will persuade the lord to be promoted to King Hanning, and everyone will be awarded titles and establish a foundation."
Yang Ang said solemnly.
"promise."
Everyone agreed again and their morale was extremely high.
Then, Yang Ang ordered everyone to go down to rest and accumulate energy. He took Mi wine and started drinking and having fun, and was extremely happy.
................
February.
The spring rain continues.
In February, it was warm and cold, and it rained again, so of course it was very cold. Guan Ping was strong and did not fear the cold, but Zhang Yu and Deng Ai wore a lot of clothes, and the mother and son were wrapped in rice dumplings.
The father and son were sitting in the pavilion in the back house. Deng Ai is now seven years old and has not changed his stuttering problem, but he has grown older.
I don't want my parents' arms anymore.
The servant always stood beside Guan Ping, as if he was a little adult. As for knowledge, according to Meng Shi Liao Ning, he was very smart.
In a few years, Liao Ning will not be able to teach Deng Ai anymore and needs to hire a famous teacher.
Deng Ai, like Guan Xing, has a small fat face, but as he grows older, his fat face gradually disappears and becomes a little unlovely, which makes Guan Ping a little depressed.
The father and son watched the rain in the pavilion, and suddenly a maid hurried in, bowed and said, "Sir, Mr. Xu, joining the army, Mr. Ma, ask for a meeting."
Guan Ping knew that it was finally time, Fangling was only a temporary place, Hanzhong and Bashu were the long-term place. Guan Ping turned around and hugged Zhang Yu, pinched Deng Ai, who was no longer fat. Then he strode out of the pavilion, and the maid beside him hurriedly held an umbrella to follow him.
Not long after, Guan Ping met Xu Shu and Ma Su, and sent people to summon Ma Liang, Sun Qian, Yi Ji and Li Fei to announce the incident of sending troops to Fangling.
Before this, only Ping, Xu Shu, Ma Su knew, Li Fei knew vaguely. Ma Liang, Sun Qian, and Yi Ji didn't know at all.
It was then that they suddenly realized that the prefect was secretly causing trouble.
"Since the arrow is already on the string and has to be fired, we should naturally send troops. But who will send troops and who will stay behind?" Chief Ma Liang asked with his hands.
"I ordered Li Zheng as the captain, and let him lead more than 4,000 troops to enter Fangling. Let Liao Hua stay in the waters, and the two of them work together to prevent Liu Biao. Ji Chang, you also stay in Fangling, act as the prefect, and coordinate the overall situation. If the situation collapses, you can draw the powerful men of Fangling, and the military and civilians will fight against Liu Biao together. In the past few years in Fangling, the people will still follow my Gongcao, the chief clerk, and the other generals in charge of the army." Guan Ping had a long time to be concerned, so he said.
"No." Ma Liang said.
This matter was planned by Xu Shu and Ma Su, so Guan Ping acted very calmly. Soon after, Guan Ping gathered all his troops in the mountains on the south bank of the Han River to cover up. In addition, Zhang Bao was also sent to lead 500 elite troops, pretending to be a merchant, and headed to Hucheng first, calculate the time and route, and the army set out three days later.
Three days later.
In the camp in the mountains, in the central army's tent, Guan Ping sat on the commander's seat, and Zhou Xiong stood beside him. Below were Sun Qian, Yi Ji, Ding Feng, Ding Feng, Li Fei, Zhao Tong, Mi Wei and others.
"If this battle is successful, it will rank Hanzhong and Nantubashu, and there is great potential. If it is defeated, the great situation will be gone. I hope you will encourage the fight to achieve great success."
Guan Ping put his hands on his knees, his face was serious, not as lazy as usual, he was full of energy, his eyes were bright, and he was extremely imposing.
"No." The generals agreed.
Guan Ping then ordered the army to set sail, first go down the mountain to reach the Han River, and then take a boat to Hanzhong. There were hundreds of warships and temporary mobilization ships, which were continuous and majestic.
The flag of the character "Guan" stands on the bow of the boat, flying in the wind, making noises, and spreading teeth and claws.
