Time flies quickly, and the world is still in chaos.

After the end of the Battle of Guanzhong, some news began to flow out gradually, but because Jingzhou was completely blocked by the powerful Jingwusi system of the pastoral army, it was not possible to get the news of Guanzhong directly.

And now Jingzhou is still fighting.

The Jingzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army joined forces and almost forced the pastoral army into a desperate situation.

The first is Wuling.

On the battlefield of Wuling, the pastoral army only had one main force, that is, the Wuxi battalion.

The Wuxi battalion is also desperate this time.

When the herdsman army was defeated in the Yangtze River and the Changsha army broke through Wuling, the Wuxi camp was defeated and retreated, and several cities had been lost.

In the end, basically, only the main city of Wuling remained.

The Wuxi battalion held the main city of Wuling.

Once this city is lost, the pastoral army officially loses the entire Wuling, which is adjacent to Ba County, which is the place of government of the Ming Marquis' Mansion, and it is easy to be driven straight into Jiangzhou by people.

Therefore, Wuling cannot afford to lose.

But the situation is getting worse and worse.

Linyuan City.

Inside the city is the camp of the five streams.

The Changsha Army outside the city.

Under the confrontation between the two armies, it has been a stalemate for a long time, but relatively speaking, the momentum of the Wuxi battalion is becoming more and more insufficient, and it has been driven in from the Wuling frontier after three consecutive defeats, and its morale has lost a lot.

And the Changsha army, with strong soldiers and horses, a full 50,000 main force, and the troops under the city, if they were not worried about the loss being too great, they would have already rushed in.

On the top of the city.

Shamoke wore a battle armor, his eyes were cold, and his killing intent was fierce: "It seems that their patience is getting less and less, send the order down, prepare for a bloody battle, and in addition, guard the west gate, and withdraw from the west as a last resort!" ”

"No!"

The various military marquis surrendered their orders.

"Captain Shamoke, can't you hold Wuling?" Liu Ba stood next to him and asked gloomily.

"Liu Taishou, look at this situation, with the strength of my battalion, can you hold it?" Shamoko asked rhetorically.

"So you're going to discard Wuling!"

"I won't retreat unless I have to do it, but I am also a person who has read military books, I can't die for Wuling!"

"When you entered Wuling that day, you didn't say that!"

"I'll have to talk to you above!" Shamoke said lightly: "I'm just a general, only responsible for fighting!" ”

"Did Captain Shamoko ever think about surrendering?"

Liu Ba asked.

"Nope!"

"Why?"

"The defeat of the herdsmen is only temporary, I firmly believe that Jingzhou is still our Minghou Mansion, the strength of the Minghou Mansion, that is something you have not seen, I am willing to put the hope of the Wuxi Barbarian tribe on the body of the Minghou Mansion, not on the body of Jingzhou!"

"But once Wuling is lost, Wuxi Man will bear the brunt of it, and you are not afraid of extermination!"

"In the troubled times, how can there be peace, the peace is all fought, since you are on the battlefield, you have to bear the consequences, besides, ......" Shamoke sneered: "They can't destroy our Wuxi Man, there is no preparation, I will fight hard here!" ”

Liu Ba's eyes were lifelike, looking at Shamoke, he actually looked down on these barbarians, but he had to look at Shamoke with admiration, this Wuxi barbarian king was by no means just on the surface, reckless as a tiger, his mind was also very deep, but his firmness towards the Minghou Mansion was beyond his expectations.

Well, the rest is just to make your own choices.

When the herdsmen came to the city, he made a choice.

Now, he has a choice to make.

It is a choice related to the life and death of the entire Wuling.

"Minghou Mansion!"

Liu Ba groaned, and his fists gradually clenched.

……………………………………

Outside the city.

Zhang Yun has a lot of strength in the navy, and the commander of the army is also a good hand, driving straight and invincible, which makes him clean up a lot of the momentum of the past, but this Linyuan City is not easy to fight.

"General, Liu Ba has replied!"

"What do you say!"

"Here!" The guards sent a brocade box.

Zhang Yun opened the brocade box, and his eyes suddenly became gloomy: "He's looking for death!" ”

This is the messenger he sent.

If the two armies are at war and do not kill them, that is above board, and it may not be a thing.

He sent a messenger to say that he would surrender to Liuba.

Open the city gate and welcome the Jingzhou army into the city.

Everyone is happy, he believes that Liu Ba will have a correct choice, so that he can also lose some troops, most of the Changsha army is a new army, it looks like a tiger, and it is invincible when it comes in, but the elite is less than 10,000, not to mention the rabble, but in fact, it is only the first time to go to the battlefield, and the combat effectiveness must be discounted at least.

Siege is the last option he wants.

But now I'm afraid not.

Liu Ba sent back a head, and he beheaded the messenger who said to surrender, this is a reply, this person is going to die on the side of the Minghou Mansion.

"Wei Yan!"

"In!"

"Pass the order down, prepare for ...... tomorrow"

"General, the lord's secret letter!" Just as he was about to go to war, a secret letter arrived.

After reading the secret letter, Zhang Yun was a little gloomy.

"Damn it!"

Zhang Yun paced back and forth, a little unhappy, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with this order, after all, Wuling, if it could not be used as a springboard to enter Ba County, did not have much strategic role at all, and it was indeed not appropriate to lose troops here, but it was a pity to give up.

"Order, prepare to withdraw troops tomorrow, we will go north to Xiangyang!"

Zhang Yun gritted his teeth and ordered, then raised his head, looked at Linyuan in front of him, and said faintly: "Don't worry, when I take Xiangyang back, I'm playing slowly with you!" ”

…………………………………………

Wuling's Jingzhou army went north, and it was also very secretive, Zhang Yun was a famous general on the battlefield after all, the march was well prepared, the camp established was majestic, and the troops were strong, unless he personally led the army to try, otherwise he couldn't see the reality clearly.

And the Wuxi camp in Linyuan City, at this time, gave them 10,000 reasons, and they didn't dare to go out of the city to try.

Therefore, Zhang Yun only left a small part of the troops as a cover, and he had already broken out of his shell, led the main force, followed the direction of Jingzhou City, and began to go north to Nanjun.

……

The main force of Jiangdong and Jingzhou armies is still stationed in Yiling Yidao, their scouts are out in all directions, looking for the remnants of the main force of the herdsmen, the speed of the scouts is very fast, and it will not take two days to inquire about the news that the remnants of the main force of the herdsmen have entered Changbanpo.

It is the closest to Changbanpo, and is naturally stationed in Jingzhou City, 180 miles to the north, and only 200 miles away from Huarong Road.

Wen Ping's violent bear army that pursued Zhou Cang was played by Zhuge Liang, which was a great shame, there was a chance to beat the water dogs, he naturally would not let go, as long as he ate this remnant of the army, the pastoral army was in Jingzhou, even if the whole army was not wiped out, it was basically killed ninety percent of the troops.

So when Wen Ping received the news, he marched towards Nagasaka Slope non-stop.

…………

Nagasaka slope.

The surrounding area, intertwined with mountains and rivers, has become a camp for the herdsmen.

On a hill.

Zhuge Liang and Zhou Cang stood side by side.

Zhou Cang smiled bitterly: "Xiao Zhuge , you have a tricky task to come back this time, I only have three main battalions, and in the battle in Jingzhou City, I lost a lot, each battalion is not enough, and the soldiers are only six or seven thousand, but you know, there are 30,000 main forces!" ”

"How can there be 30,000 main forces!"

Zhuge Liang said indifferently: "In the past two years in Jingzhou, I have been a little chilled by the reckless army, this Liu Jingsheng is planning to squeeze out Jingzhou's population reserves, and get out more than 100,000 or 200,000 main forces, but the combat effectiveness is geometric, it is obvious to all, not to mention the main force under Wen Ping, at most 23,400 at most, even if there are enough 30,000, most of them I believe that they are all those young and strong main forces, not his descendants of the elite soldiers!" ”

Wen Ping is a battlefield general, has fought many wars, and has his own elite lineage, this is a battleable soldier, but those young and strong, fighting a victory can increase their prestige, but as long as they thwart their first battle, they will become a burden.

On the battlefield, strength is indeed a fatal element.

But sometimes the strength of the army does not represent the combat effectiveness.

And the herdsman, the combat effectiveness of the world, is not just a lie, Zhuge Liang has seen the training of the herdsmen, has seen the establishment of the herdsmen, not elite but not the army, without the training of the new barracks, will not go to the battlefield, this alone is enough for all the princes in the world.

In the case of Bashu, it is by no means an exaggeration to raise two or three hundred thousand soldiers.

However, in the case of the pastoral army, there are only more than 100,000 troops, which is the strategy of elite soldiers.

The Violent Bear Army, in the pastoral system, is not absolutely elite.

But it has always been a powerful soldier and horse.

Otherwise, Zhuge Liang would not have the confidence to be able to fight more with less.

"Even so, we are dangerous!" Zhou Cang thought for a while and said: "Wen Ping is originally a battlefield general, he is definitely not easy to deal with, or let Chen Zhi and our divisions, gather troops, and have the strength to fight!" ”

"No way!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "Now it's not just Wen Ping who is looking down on us, once Chen Zhi moves, it is equivalent to giving them some people the opportunity to comprehensively defeat us, so far, our advantage is that they can't be sure, so they can't mobilize all their forces, once they completely understand our soldiers, encircle and suppress us, it's coming!" ”

"Okay!"

Zhou Cang thought about it, he didn't want to use his brain, he said in a deep voice: "I'll support you, how you say to fight, then how to fight!" ”

"Marching map!"

Zhuge Liang let out a low snort.

The two guards on the left and right opened a marching map and spread it out in front of Zhuge Liang and Zhou Cang.

"General Zhonglang, the battlefield must be on the east coast!"

Zhuge Liang said.

Nagasaka slope is near the river, which is the Han River flowing down from Xiangyang, dividing this piece of hell into two, the east bank and the west bank, the west bank is the main station, the first army, the war tiger battalion and so on are all there.

At the same time, it can be inserted directly from Yiling Yaoting, so the troops on the west bank must defend the main force of Jingzhou.

Then the battlefield cannot be in the West Bank.

To be placed on the east coast.

In this way, it can be fought as a local war, and under the condition that the main forces of both sides do not intervene, Zhuge Liang may have a chance to clean up Wenpin, as long as Wenpin is defeated or even killed, the situation in Jingzhou will change.

At least give the Pastoral Army a little more time.

When the main force of the herding army officially moves south, the attacking and defending sides will change immediately.

"A battalion under my command has already crossed the river, and next, the main force will also cross the river, but on the east bank, south is Jingzhou City, and there is a part of Jingzhou troops in Jingzhou City, what if they move?"

Zhou Cang said worriedly.

The main force of Jingzhou is in Yidao, but Jingzhou City, as the main city, is also the most important strategic location of Jingzhou, with at least 10,000 troops stationed.

"I hope they won't move, after all, as the defenders of Jingzhou City, the strategic reserves of Jingzhou City are very important, and they don't dare to move easily, of course, we have to plan for the best and the worst!"

Zhuge Liang said: "I have asked the drama Sima to keep an eye on it, and at the same time, I have also asked the War Tiger Battalion to prepare, they dare to come out, that's the best, Jingzhou City, which we couldn't break down before, just burned down, and all the problems can be solved at that time!" ”

At present, if the Jingzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army want to enter Yizhou, they must first ensure the supply of Jingzhou City, a logistics base.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang guessed that even if Wen Ping was defeated by him, Jingzhou City might not dare to send troops to reinforce it, even if it was to send troops, it would not be Jingzhou City, either Yiling or Yiting Yidao, which had the main force to deal with, but he was not afraid.

"Even so, we are not good at fighting, Huarong goes north, it is Jingling, Jingling as a reliance, he hires the elite freely, we cross the river across the east bank, relatively speaking, we lose the topography of Dangyang and Changbanpo!"

Zhou Cang said in a deep voice: "In the offensive and defensive positions, we lost one percent!" ”

"Who said that!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "General Zhonglang, what you are thinking about is defending first and then counterattacking, naturally it is in the terrain and is checked, but what if we never thought about building fortifications?"

"What do you mean?"

"The two armies are fighting, they meet on a narrow road, and the brave wins!" Zhuge Liang said categorically: "I didn't want to catch him from the beginning, this battle must be resolved quickly!" ”

"I don't understand!"

"It means that we will fight directly, we will build camps, and we will not give them a chance to breathe, strike first, defeat their formation, tear their military formation, and directly defeat them!"

"Once it is frustrated, won't our army suffer heavy casualties, or even be completely annihilated?"

This is a thing of moving forward and not retreating, just like an arrow that shoots out, it will be very fast and has a lot of momentum, if you can aim at the target accurately, maybe it will really be an arrow through the heart and hit the target.

But if you encounter the slightest obstacle, you will even be blocked, and then you will not even have a chance.

"Can you take care of it at this time?"

Zhuge Liang asked Zhou Cang rhetorically: "If you wait until Wen Ping first stands firm, fight steadily, 30,000 troops, and eat us, isn't it a matter of time sooner or later, this matter, can't wait, can't hesitate, now is the time to be desperate, when you are desperate, you must focus, you can't think too much about what you don't have, otherwise you will lose very miserably!" “

"Hey!"

Zhou Cang sighed a little: "I can't imagine that I, a person who has been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years, is not as clear as a teenager, the older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous you are, maybe you are right, you really can't think too much when you are desperate, either win or die!" ”

He patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder and handed him a tiger talisman in his hand: "I still felt that you were a little small before, but now I think that you have the ability, I will give you the tiger talisman, and you can mobilize all the sons and daughters of the Violent Bear Army, including me, until the end of this battle!" ”

"Thank you for your trust!"

Zhuge Liang felt Zhou Cang's firm trust and self-confidence, his heart was hot, and he said firmly: "I will never let Zhonglang General down!" ”
