Chapter 941 Sun and Liu's allied forces attack the city
And the most embarrassed man said a few words to the soldiers, and then he went down to the city. Although he didn't think that the Sun and Liu coalition forces would make any moves today, he still let his soldiers guard them strictly, and he couldn't slack off at all, who knows what Sun Ce and Liu Bei thought specifically.
In this way, a day later, the Sun-Liu coalition army officially attacked Xiangyang, of course, this first time was just a temptation, Sun Ce's side was led by Dong Xi, and Liu Bei's side was still led by Zhou Cang to attack the city.
Man Zhong is in front of Xiangyang City, for him, the first siege of the Sun-Liu coalition army, he can be said to attach great importance to it. From the time when he said that Sun and Liu's coalition army was coming to Xiangyang, it can be said that his pressure has always been very great, and it has never decreased until now, but more and more.
Therefore, for Manzhong, he urgently needs to lead his troops to resist the offensive of the Sun-Liu coalition army, increase his confidence, and also give his soldiers confidence, telling them that even if the Sun-Liu coalition army is strong, it is still not a low-grade residence. Besides, the Liangzhou army can withstand the other party's crazy attack, why can't it itself, so ......-
And when he saw Dong Xi under the city with Jiangdong soldiers, and Zhou Cang with Liu Bei's soldiers, both sides rushed to Xiangyang City at the same time, Man Zhong smiled slightly, and said in his heart that he was waiting for you, okay, good come! Now "it's a mule or a horse, and the money comes out to slip away", since the Liangzhou army can withstand the attack of your Sun and Liu coalition forces. Why can't our army? Although there is a huge difference in the strength of the two sides now, Man Zhong has automatically ignored this matter for the time being, at least at this time. He didn't think much of it.
As for Dong Xi and Zhou Cang, who led troops to attack the city under the city, to be honest, their thoughts were actually similar.
In the eyes of the two, don't look at Xiangyang City, it's true that Jingzhou is a strong city, this is indeed not comparable to Jiangxia's Qichun. But there are nearly 100,000 Liangzhou troops stationed in Qichun, but Xiangyang, at least there are no nearly 100,000 Yanzhou troops here at this time. So in Qichun. Their coalition forces have lost, but they don't think that they will still lose in Xiangyang.
At least they still have confidence. How to say that compared with nearly 100,000 and 5,000, what is the gap, and what is the gap between your own 100,000 and the other party's 5,000. Basically, there is no one who does not know the way -
Dong Xi and Zhou Cang. took the soldiers of Jiangdong Army and Liu Beijun respectively and killed Xiangyang. It can also be said that they rushed to Xiangyang with great confidence and a lot of confidence. The two also have the intention of being ashamed, although they did not lose to the Yanzhou army before, but they don't know when they will be able to face the Liangzhou army again. So I can only vent the resentment in my heart this time, or I am indeed very aggrieved.
Be. That's it, even if they captured Xiling before, they can be regarded as occupying a county seat of the Liangzhou Army. But you have to think about this, in fact, your own coalition army, but there is no battle with others at all, Xiling's guard Wu Anguo, after hearing the news that he was coming to Xiling, he directly led his troops to retreat, but he didn't give himself a chance at all.
So in Jiangxia Xiling City, in fact, it was like he was ready to give the opponent a heavy punch, but the fist went out after the last one, but it turned out that he didn't hit others, or hit other places, so Dong Xi and Zhou Cang can not be depressed, it is very good to think about it, and they want to be ashamed before Xiling Yixue, but there is no chance at all-
But now it's okay, although Xiangyang City is not the territory of the Liangzhou Army, the Yanzhou Army is also its own strong enemy, and before in Xiling, Wu Anguo of the Liangzhou Army ran away, but at this time, the full favor of the Yanzhou Army did not run. Of course, Dong Xi and Zhou Cang don't know the specifics of this matter, Wu Anguo received the news from his lord, so no matter what he said, he had to abandon the city and retreat to Qichun.
But can Man Pet be the same as him, at least he hasn't received any news of Cao Cao's retreat, so even if he doesn't want to fight against Sun Liu's coalition army like this, but does he dare to withdraw directly without a fight? Besides, in fact, Cao Cao, who is now fighting with Huo Jun in Wuling, where does he know about the battle in Xiangyang, after all, even if he goes to Tanma to spread the news, it will be several days later.
So now Xiangyang's full favor and the situation of Wu'anguo in Xiling at the beginning, it must be different, not at all. Therefore, Wu Anguo can directly withdraw from the army, but full of favor is definitely not. Besides, a Xiling to Ma Chao can be said to be not so important to the Liangzhou Army at all. But the importance of Xiangyang to Cao Cao and Yanzhou Army is self-evident.
So if Man Chong really dares not to fight a battle and retire directly, then his fate can also be imagined, Cao Cao, to be honest, is not afraid of the defeat of his subordinates, after all, the so-called "victory and defeat are common things in soldiers". Not to mention the generals under him, it is himself, he also knows the way, and it is not that he has not been defeated. But to be honest, for those who don't fight with the other party, just flee or surrender directly, it can be said that he is the most despised and despised-
At this time, at the head of the city, Man Zhong shouted and commanded his soldiers to guard the imperial city.
At this time, he said in his heart, now it is a dragon or a worm, it depends on the battle with the Sun and Liu coalition now. Although he also thought that the combat strength of his own soldiers was more or less stronger than that of the opponent's coalition soldiers, he had to pay attention to the number of opponents at this time. He also knows in his heart that he can't compare to others. You are at a loss.
But even so, it still can't change his firm belief in defending the city, and he thinks a lot about it. I have to try to hold on for some time, not necessarily that day will be the peak and the road will turn around. After all, on the battlefield, some things will still happen, and I still believe that it is possible.
In this way, the Sun-Liu coalition army launched a fierce siege battle, even if the first time was just a tentative attack, but whether it was Dong Raid. Or Zhou Cang, but they all took their own soldiers and fought hard. It really brought a lot of pressure to the full pet-
How can it be said that the coalition forces are not vegetarians, and after they are united, they must be much stronger than before. Come to think of it, if you want to say that there is no too much benefit. Just Sun Ce and Liu Bei. Is it possible for people like them to unite together, at least the two of them can be regarded as the masters of "not seeing rabbits and not scattering eagles", so if the two of them can do this, it is naturally very beneficial and beneficial to themselves, so this is why it is like this, isn't it.
For these things. Of course, Man Chong knew that he knew it very clearly, after all, his strategist's mind. It's by no means comparable to ordinary generals.
Zhou Cang, who was climbing the ladder under the city, said in his heart at this time, damn it, Lao Tzu can't break the Qichun guarded by his nearly 100,000 Liangzhou troops, but can't he break the Xiangyang City defended by his 5,000 Yanzhou troops? It's, damn it.
So he shouted at his own soldiers, "What the hell hasn't eaten, rush up for me, and those who don't contribute are fucking waste!" ”——
Zhou Cang was born in a yellow scarf, and scolding can be said to have always been commonplace. However, after joining Liu Bei's account, he is much more restrained, but just like that, he often "exports into chapters", but compared to before, it is really different. And it can also be seen that his scolding is nothing at all now, and he used to take out a random sentence before, which is much stronger than this.
Being scolded as a waste by his own master, who likes to hear this? Therefore, in order to get rid of the name of being wasted, Liu Beijun's soldiers all attacked the head of Xiangyang City without fear of death. If you want to say that "the clay figure still has three points of earthiness", let alone Liu Beijun's soldiers, after being scolded by Zhou Cang, it really played a role.
Dong Xian, who was not far away from them, glanced at them, and said in his heart, although Zhou Cang's guy was scolding, it still played a role. But this is all done by a rough man like him, and of course he can't learn from him. Of course, it is impossible for Dong Xi not to scold, but if he really wants to scold the soldiers like Zhou Cang, he basically won't do this. It can also be said that he hasn't been forced to be like that, so at least at this time, Dong Xian, who led troops to attack the city in Xiangyang, will not be like this for the time being-
Zhou Cang's words, the full favor of the city head heard it clearly, but although he also admitted that it did play a role, he didn't feel much about it. Now for the full favor who defends the city, it is really "everything under control", at least it is not beyond the scope of his control. Of course, the full favor doesn't know how to do it, the other party is just a tentative attack today, so even if he and his soldiers feel the pressure, it is not the biggest.
However, the so-called "everything is difficult at the beginning", as long as you can survive the previous few days, then basically even if you are the most rear, you are still not the enemy Sun Liu Alliance, but with more support, there should be no problem.
Man Zhong can be said to be very self-aware, at least he is not arrogant and arrogant that he can withstand the attack of more than 100,000 people on the other side with his own 5,000 men. He didn't think he had that much ability, after all, in Jiangxia Qichun, the Liangzhou army could stop the Sun-Liu coalition army, but there were nearly 100,000 horses. If he also has so many men and horses, then he also thinks that he can withstand the attack of the Sun-Liu coalition army.
That's true, after all, there are still very few people like Huo Jun in this world, at least Man Zhong doesn't have that much ability-
Although it was a tentative attack, the performance of Sun Liu's sergeants was indeed remarkable. However, on the other hand, the Yanzhou soldiers who defended the city at the head of the city also performed well, or actually performed better. Even if they knew very well that they had encountered a strong enemy this time, and more than 100,000 people were outside the city, but even so, under the leadership of Man Chong, they still stubbornly resisted the attack of the Sun-Liu coalition army.
In addition, they had collected a lot of things for city defense before, so it came in handy for the Sun-Liu coalition army. Although no one knew when there would be a war in Xiangyang, it was just a precaution, they had already prepared a lot of defensive things such as rolling wood and stones in Xiangyang, just to defend the city, and the result was really early.
If it is said that in terms of the original intention of full favor, he really doesn't want these things to be really used, but unfortunately, it has not been long since his lord left with his troops, and the Sun and Liu coalition army has arrived, which shows their heart for Xiangyang. Looking at the menacing Sun Liu Lianjun, even if he felt the pressure on his shoulders, he still didn't have the intention of retreating and avoiding.
Besides, he knows better than anyone else that even if it is all the people on his side, anyone can be afraid of obscenity and even retreat, but he, the chief general of Xiangyang City, can't be like this at all-
At this time, Dong Xixin said, don't look at Manzhong, he can't be regarded as a pure general, but his ability to lead troops to fight and command soldiers to defend the city is really not bragged. Thinking about it, since Cao Mengde can let this person defend the city, then it naturally makes sense. After all, is the Yanzhou Army short of talents? Therefore, it will not be bad if he can stand out from the crowd and let Cao Mengde be entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
It's still a change today, and I'll try to make it up tomorrow. (To be continued......)
