Chapter 678: Guan Yu's Danger
Wen Ping smiled and said: "If the soldiers and horses in the city are unwilling to surrender, we can attack Xiangyang, Guan Yu will definitely not sit idly by, he is worried that Xiangyang will be lost, and he will definitely come to the rescue. ”
When the adjutant general heard this, he was even more puzzled, and said in confusion: "General, I don't understand what you say, why do you say that if we go to attack Fancheng, Guan Yu will escape, and if we attack Xiangyang, Guan Yu will come to the rescue?" ”
Wen Ping explained: "If we go directly to Fancheng, even if Xiangyang is a startler, the soldiers and horses in the city will definitely be prepared, Guan Yu knows that they are prepared, and they don't have to worry about Xiangyang being lost, they will escape."
But if we attack Xiangyang directly, the soldiers and horses in the city will not be able to prepare in a hurry, and Guan Yu will come to the rescue if Xiangyang is lost. ”
When the deputy general heard this, he suddenly realized, nodded and said, "I see, since this is the case, let's go and attack Xiangyang." ”
The soldiers and horses continued to drive north, and by noon the army had reached a short distance outside the city of Xiangyang.
After getting off the warship, Wen Ping ordered: "Take these away."
Destroy them all for me. ”
The adjutant general was shocked when he heard this: "General, if we destroy these ships, we will have no way out." ”
Wen Ping said coldly: "Our army only has ten days' rations, and now it has been eaten for seven days, and there are only three days left, even if the army is withdrawn now, it is not enough to go back, it is better to break the kettle and boost morale!" ”
With Wen Ping's order, more than 2,000 ships were quickly destroyed by soldiers, and the warship leaked and slowly sank into the water.
Wen Ping shouted at the soldiers: "Soldiers, this time we went deep into the enemy's territory, now the warship has been destroyed, there is no way back, only success, not failure, such as victory, today's glory and wealth are not a problem, if defeated, I will go to Huangquan with you!" ”
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
Wenpin usually won the hearts of the military, but now the cauldron is broken, and all the soldiers are chanting the oath of victory, and the army's morale is greatly boosted.
"Go to Xiangyang!"
Wen Ping waved his hand and took the soldiers and horses to Xiangyang.
At this moment, the soldiers and horses in the city have already noticed the Wei army, the defenders in Xiangyang City, there are 1,000 people, including 10,000 people who are used to transport grain and grass, in addition, there are more than 10,000 soldiers obtained by Liu Chan when he defeated Zhoutai, these people also stay in the city and are responsible for transporting grain to the north.
It happened that two days ago, Xiangyang had already transported a batch of grain and grass to the north, and at this moment, the people and those soldiers were also in the city.
"Where did that come from?"
"It doesn't seem like it's our big Han soldiers? It's Wei Jun! ”
"How did Wei Jun get here?"
"Send someone across the river to inform the general! Bring me all the equipment to defend the city. ”
In Xiangyang City, there is no general, the person responsible for escorting the grain and grass is a partial general, and there is no mediocre general in Jingzhou, he sent people to cross the river to inform Guan Yu on the one hand, and on the other hand, he prepared tools to defend the city.
Soon, Wen Ping came to the city, and led the 1,000 defenders in the city to wait for the city, and the rest of the people continued to carry the equipment needed to defend the city to the city.
As for the Wei army's soldiers, the guards did not let them go to the city, after all, it was the Wei army that came, and the guards were afraid that they would surrender and defect. If it is an enemy such as the Jiangdong Army, the defenders will definitely use them to defend the city without hesitation.
Wen Ping led his troops to the city, looked at the guards at the head of the city and shouted: "I am the general of the Great Wei Zhengnan, Wen Ping is also, the defenders in the city still have to surrender quickly?" ”
"Wenpin, this person turned out to be Wenpin?"
The defenders of the city were very surprised and a little panicked when they learned that the general was hired, but that was all.
Although Wen Ping used to be a general in Jingzhou, after all, more than 20 years have passed, and the current Jingzhou soldiers are already a new generation of soldiers in their twenties. In Jingzhou over the years, they have won many battles, and they are not afraid of Wenpin.
Hearing this, the guard shouted loudly: "Wen Ping, you simply don't know whether you live or die, there are many soldiers and horses in my city, and the city is tall and strong, if you have the ability, just come and attack it." ”
After speaking, the guard then instructed the soldiers: "Let those people put on the clothes of our army and see if they can scare Wen Ping away." ”
Under the city, the adjutant general said to Wen Ping: "General, the guards in the city refuse to defend the city with soldiers, and the general has no chance to persuade them to defect." ”
Wen Ping waved his hand and said: "Don't be anxious, if we make a siege posture, the defenders will be forced to have no choice but to use the pawns." Let the soldiers cut down the trees and build grapes ready to attack. ”
"No!"
And on the other side, Fancheng.
The soldiers and horses sent by Xiangyang quickly crossed the river to Fancheng and told Guan Yu about the situation in Xiangyang.
During this time, Guan Yu has been quietly recuperating in Fancheng, and when he learned that Wen Ping led his troops to attack Xiangyang, Guan Yu planned to go to the rescue of Xiangyang.
Guan Yu said to the soldiers who came to inform: "Xiangyang is the place where our army hoards grain and grass, there are only a thousand soldiers in the city, although the city is tall, but Wen Ping came suddenly, the city is not prepared, if Wen Ping is a strong attack, I am afraid that there is a possibility of falling." Quickly pick up the soldiers and horses in the city and follow me to save Xiangyang. ”
When the soldier heard this, he waved his hand again and again and said: "The general must not go, there are still thousands of defenders in the city, and tens of thousands of people, if it really can't be done, you can use the Wei army to defend the city, and it is more than enough to protect yourself."
That Wen Ping didn't come to attack Fancheng, but I was afraid that I didn't know that the general was here, and the general meant to let you go north first to find Your Majesty and avoid the limelight, so as not to disadvantage the general. If you go to Xiangyang, if there is a mistake, I can't afford it. ”
When Guan Yu heard this, he was immediately furious: "Joke, this general is a great general of the Han Dynasty, how can he escape from the battle!" The people of the city have not been trained, and they are vulnerable. The Wei state is even more unusable, and if they defect, the consequences will be unimaginable.
It's just a clerical appointment, but the general's subordinates were defeated back then, what is the way? Hurry up the soldiers and horses in the city, and follow me to save Xiangyang! ”
"General, you can't go!"
"yes, you can't go!"
"Please think twice!"
"I, Guan Yu, stood on the ground that day, and never escaped from the battle, so I will be persuaded to rescue Xiangyang with me!"
In Fancheng, the defenders had 500 soldiers, most of whom were Guan Yu's own soldiers, Guan Yu insisted on going, but the generals couldn't stop him, so he had to pick up his troops and horses and go to Xiangyang with Guan Yu.
Under the city of Xiangyang.
The Wei soldiers carried the built ladders one after another, and the guards in the city were also very worried when they saw this.
A soldier said to the guard: "General, those people have never been on the battlefield, they are all scared to death, their weapons are not stable, they can't defend the city at all, if the Wei State attacks, we are only afraid that a thousand people will not be able to defend it, it is better to use those soldiers to defend the city!" ”
Xiangyang City is a big city, the city defense line is very long, the city is large, it is difficult to attack is good, but correspondingly, the soldiers who need to be stationed need more, if it is that kind of small city, the city defense line is short, and it is more than enough for a thousand people to distribute four gates, even if the enemy is tens of thousands, it can still hold out for a period of time.
But Xiangyang City is too big, there are a thousand defenders in the city, and the city guarding one side of the city seems to be sparse, and the other three gates have no soldiers available at all, and it is very difficult to hold Xiangyang. Therefore, some people proposed to use soldiers to defend the city, there were more than 10,000 soldiers, although it was not enough to distribute the four gates, but the Wei army was not more than 10,000 people, and it was very easy to hold the city.
