Chapter 1084: The Battle of Jingxiang XV

The commanders of the eight main forces of the Han army are all battlefield generals who have made countless contributions to the east and west under the frame of the Son of Heaven, and even if it is Xu Huang and Zhang Liao, they will not give in, but Jun Yi is probably the only exception, although the knife was said to be their own master, but later the two of them had a deep friendship with Wen Yuan and felt a little guilty in his heart, and it was just another person, Zhang Junyi wanted to make use of everything, and in the end, the military division supported his own opinions, and the Tiger Guard Army was not to grab any interests, as the first main force to attack Xiongguan, Everyone in the military knows what this means?

Standing at the height of the overall situation, Liu Yi's strategy is to first Jingxiang and then break through each one, but for Zhang He and Zhang Liao, these generals have not relaxed for a moment to take the Xiongguan in front of them, those ancient siege methods have been in their minds countless times of survival of the fittest, and there were tentative attacks as practice, so when Zhang Hu ordered the Han army to attack Jiameng Pass with all their might, the Tiger Guard's fighting spirit and skillful tactical movements immediately made them feel a completely different heavy pressure from before, Within three days, he was killed by the Han army four times.

Zhang He's understandable tactics of Zhang Hu, Zhang Liao and others not smuggling into Yinping, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't have reservations in his heart. However, these will not affect his firm implementation of the tactics formulated by the military division, and the Tiger Guards also showed their housekeeping skills under the Jiameng Pass, attacking formations, staffing, infantry and artillery coordination, and echelon settings all played to the fullest. Although he did his best to ensure that Jia Meng was not lost, Cao Hong also had to immediately send a letter to Cao Cao in Chengdu for help, but Xiongguan in his hand could not give him the feeling of being as stable as Mount Tai, and the enemy's offensive was like a mountain and a sea of mountains and seas, and it was endless.

Cao Mengde in Chengdu received a letter of help not only at Jiameng Pass, but also at Xiangyang Jiangling and Jiangling where the enemy attacked fiercely. After the defeat of Hanzhong and the retreat to Shu, Cao Cao, Xun Yu and others were already at the risk of provoking a civil uprising in Shuzhong to recruit soldiers in Shuzhong, but Liu Yi's continuous blows did not give them too much time, and now the recruitment and training of recruits has not been completely completed, it is definitely unwise to compete with the Yan army with such training quality, and Cao Cao is also facing a dilemma, to protect Shuzhong or keep Jingxiang?

The strategy of the Han army belongs to the top secret in the army, and only the generals at the commander level can know it, and it is limited to himself, anyone who dares to reveal a single bit Liu Yi will never show mercy, and the offensives launched by the two Han armies are generally fierce, and it is difficult for Cao Cao to judge where the other party's intentions are! With the small number of troops in his hands at the moment, it is no longer possible to reinforce two places at the same time, perhaps Liu Yi took a fancy to this point and launched an attack on himself on two fronts at the same time, which is also the embodiment of the difference in strength between the two, the combat power of the Yan army at this time is probably not as good as that of Yanzhou, but the Cao army is even stronger.

In the face of such a situation, Zhiru Xun Yu Fazheng and others have no way to get the best of both worlds, and the lack of troops cannot be supplemented by strategy, but after some exhaustion, they still put forward two feasible plans for the lord, one of which is to hand over the 60,000 Cao troops led by Cao Hong to guard, which is naturally the best to block the offensive of the Yan army, if it can't be stopped, set up a second line of defense in the Sword Pavilion to continue to delay the progress of the enemy, it seems that Cao Cao can personally lead the army to Jingxiang to rescue, Strive to be able to work together with Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and others to defeat the Yan army here!

Second, immediately send reinforcements to Cao Hong, do their best to hold the gate of Shuzhong, Jiameng Pass, Jingzhou Jiangbei five counties have lost their third, this time the Yan army in Jiangling and Xiangyang posture is likely to be to annihilate all the Cao army here, if the two cities are difficult to defend sooner or later, it is better to make Xiahou and Cao Ren and other generals join forces to withdraw to Jiangnan by Jingzhou Jingnan Naval Army, and then Shuojiang River to Shuzhong to concentrate troops to defend by virtue of the danger of the terrain, first stabilize the land in Shuzhong, in order to stand by in the future, and then try to counterattack!

No matter which strategy is adopted, Cao's army will inevitably lose, unless Cao Hong's Jiameng Pass can be safe in the face of the attack of the main force of the Yan army without reinforcements, and Cao Cao can successfully counterattack and win in the battle of Jingxiang, but in today's situation, these situations will happen at the same time, even Cao Cao, who has never given up, is a little lacking in confidence. For almost a whole day and a night, he was tormented in indecision, maybe in the eyes of others, this is not the emotion that a generation of heroes should have, but in another time and space, he has never been in such a situation! However, Cao Cao is Cao Cao after all, at this time, he can no longer hesitate, let Xun Wenruo lead five thousand elite soldiers to the Sword Pavilion and personally write a book to inform Cao Hong of the current situation, and then he will do his best to mobilize the troops to prepare to kill from Yong'an to Jingzhou, even if he is defeated, he is not willing to close his eyes and wait for death.

Jia Meng's guard general Cao Hong may be slightly inferior to his brother Cao Ren and Xiahoudun and others, but he is also a rare general in the Cao clan, and he is also a loyal, brave and upright person. After getting the brother's handwriting, he also put life and death aside, and every day he personally went to the city to command the defenders to resist the continuous impact of the enemy, and the soldiers of Cao were united as one, even with the ability of Zhang Hehu's guards, it was difficult to have the advantage of the previous few days, and the battle situation in Hanzhong fell into a stalemate stage, and both sides tried their best to attack and defend without leaving any hands!

Knowing that Cao Cao was about to personally lead a large army to help, the low morale of Cao's army in Xiangyang, Jiangling was also boosted, and the Beiping army and the Longxiang army were also caught in a bitter battle. The reaction to the enemy army Zhao Yun, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others are prepared, as generals who command the overall situation, they will estimate the difficulties to the fullest, Cao Mengde is unwilling to be tied down after all, and the success or failure of this battle will completely determine the victory or defeat between Liu and Cao!

For half a month, the shouting and killing under the city of Xiangyang Jiangling has never stopped from morning to night, whether it is the Han army attacking one side or the Cao army defending the side, they have done their best, and the generals on the front line have long been numb to the daily rising casualty figures, Xu Huangtai Shici and others have only one purpose, to take the city in front of them, Cao Ren Xiahou is also general, stick to wait for the lord's troops to come to reinforcements. The Han army's infantry and artillery coordination tactics and the advantages of equipment have become more and more proficient after several major battles, and the Cao army, as one of the strongest armies in the world, has also shown strong adaptability to this, and the desire for victory and the will to persevere to the end have become the key to this battle.

Cao's stubborn resistance eased the pressure on Sun Cejing's southern army to some extent, and Yan Gang and Fan Chou had to respond to the attack on Jiangling launched by Tai Shici's Beiping army at any time, and they could not deal with Xiaobawang with all their strength as in the initial stage of the campaign. But although the oppression of the enemy army is slightly reduced, the choice in front of Sun Ce is as difficult as before, how long can Cao Jun's resistance last, and can Cao Cao personally lead the army to turn the situation around Jingxiang? If this is the case, he can help with all his might, but he may not have the courage to attack now, if Cao Jun's tenacity is just to return to the light and turn back again, he will not be fortunate to be targeted by the Han army.

On September 28, Gan Ning, the king of Jinghai, received the will of the Son of Heaven and immediately ordered the Gaolan Swift Wind Army in Yuzhou to move closer to Jingxiang at the speed of a rapid march, and the Flame Army of Liyi also divided half of it to follow! The Xuzhou side of the Han army also reacted to the battle situation! In this way, the eight main forces of the Han army once again entered the battle, and the battle of Jingxiang ignited the overall war like a fuse!

Gan Ning, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others are in Xu Nan, responsible for monitoring Liu Bei and expanding the Flying Tiger Army, and at the same time, they are also observing the progress of each battlefield at any time, although the original intention of the Son of Heaven is to consume the strength of the three heroes in the south with local warfare, making it difficult to get stable development, but now Cao Cao has shown the intention of fighting to the death, and their strategy must be adjusted accordingly, for more than ten days, Gan Pang Xu and the three of them have written to the Son of Heaven for tens of thousands of words, and after careful discussion, their proposal is to have a decisive battle with the enemy. As long as Jingxiang is taken, even if Yangzhou Liu Bei is allowed to cross the river, at most, it will lose some counties and suffer some losses, compared to the interests of taking Jingxiang, it should be abandoned, and there are still guards of the Flying Tiger Army and the Flame Army in Xunan Yuzhou, and it is not absolutely impossible to fight back!

The Cao army gathered in two places in Jiangling and Xiangyang, and Sun Ce in Jingnan was like a hard walnut, and the Han army wanted to completely smash it to further concentrate its strength, and now the second army of the wind and fire was also the only force in Liu Yi's hands that could be used for mobility, and it was time to put it into the battlefield! At the same time, Xingba strengthened the parade in the Yangtze River waterway and the attack on the Yangzhou naval army, Liu Bei, who had just experienced the war, had not yet gathered troops for the time being, after all, compared with the Han army, the cooperation between the three southern heroes could not be done as if it were one person, and the action would be more rapid when seizing this opportunity!

Even at the most difficult moment of the battle of Yanzhou in Hanzhong, Liu Yi did not bother like this half a month, he had to make the most correct judgment thousands of miles away, and after countless repeated deliberations and consultations with the major generals on the front line, he agreed with Gan Ning, Pang Tong and others to expand the battle situation, and now reunification is the most urgent need, and it is acceptable to pay some price for delaying development. As the head coach Liu Yi has never missed any decisive battle, this time will not be an exception, since he is going to have a decisive battle, he will drive the expedition in person!
