Chapter 2956: Cao Ren's arrival (page 1/1)
Tai Shici nodded slightly, and didn't mind the flattery in Zhang Duo's words.
"The final general and Huang Zhong, the general of the Jin country, still have some connections." Zhang Duo said.
Tai Shi Ci Wenyan asked: "General Zhang knows General Huang Lao?"
Now Huang Zhong is among the generals of the Jin country. He is a top figure who leads the Qingzhou army alone. He has a prominent position. Even after Tai Shici met Huang Zhong, he was respectful and able to do such things at such an age. Definitely a role model for all military commanders.
"When General Huang Zhong was in Changsha County in the past, General Huang Zhong had a relationship with General Huang Zhong. When the princes' coalition invaded Bingzhou, the General was ordered to **** grain and grass to the army. He did not want to be intercepted by General Huang Zhong on the way. The friendship of the past will finally be released for General Huang Lao." Zhang Duo exclaimed: "After many years have passed, I don't want the general to join the Jin country."
"It is wise to take refuge in the Kingdom of Jin. If General Zhang had taken refuge in the first place, he might already be in an important position in the army." Tai Shici smiled and looked at Zhang Duo with a lot of kindness. Huang Zhong was able to release Zhang Duo at the risk of violating military discipline. There is definitely a reason why Huang Zhong was in the army of the Jin Kingdom. It can be seen that Zhang Duo must be unique.
"General Taishi is polite. Cao Ren leads the army quite strategically, and he is careful to make preparations. Otherwise, after Cao Ren notices it, it will be difficult to succeed."
"General Zhang's words are very serious, General Lao Zhang is the case in the city. How many ballistas are there today?"
Zhang Duo said: "There are a hundred crossbows and fifty crossbows."
"Enough." Tai Shi Ci smiled.
After Cao Ren and Zhao Yan left the city, they counted the soldiers and horses. There were only more than 8,000 people in their hands. The Cao army who guarded Jiangling City in the past had 20,000 people. Unexpectedly, after successive wars, the number of lieutenants in the army dropped sharply. Today there are only more than 8,000 people left.
This made Cao Ren's heart a little bit emotional, how many elites in the army, just like this, died on the battlefield.
However, it was extremely hard for the lieutenant generals to follow him to guard Jiangling for eight months. As long as the army entered Xiangyang City, it was natural to resist the attack of the Yizhou Army. It was different from Jiangling City, the city of Xiangyang was high. It was five feet long and the moat was wide. It was difficult for the enemy to break through Xiangyang City by means of the previous method.
The war in Jiangling made Cao Ren feel a little depressed. Cao Jun, who clearly had the advantage, fell because of the shameless method of attacking the city by the Yizhou Army. Now that the army has arrived in Xiangyang City, Cao Ren will give Yizhou Army a cruel one. lesson.
According to the news from the scouts, the enemy army has not stopped pursuing the army. After stabilizing the city, tens of thousands of Yizhou army have come to Xiangyang, and they will attack Xiangyang city in a big way.
Xiangyang is the most important city in Jingzhou. It is not only the state governor of Jingzhou, but in terms of the majesty of the city, it is not comparable to other cities. Liu Biao has been operating in Jingzhou for many years and he naturally attaches great importance to Xiangyang.
In the early morning of the second day after Tai Shici entered Xiangyang, Cao Ren led an army to the outside of the city. Seeing the Cao army flag and the tightly guarded army floating on the wall, Cao Ren nodded with satisfaction. Xiangyang's defenders Zhang Duo and Cao Ren There is a certain understanding. Cao Ren did not see the ability to lead troops in combat, but Zhang Duo is cautious. This is enough for Cao Ren. To defend the city, he needs cautious generals, even in front of him. People who are not easy to fight against the enemy's provocation.
Such a general can cause more trouble to the enemy in the process of defending the city.
In fact, Cao Ren was extremely confused about the performance of the Yizhou Army. During the retreat of the Cao Army, he did not find the cavalry chasing by the Yizhou Army. All the cavalry of the Yizhou Army were light cavalry, and they were very fast. , Will bring no small harm to Cao Jun.
The Hu Ben Army showed strong combat effectiveness on the battlefield. However, the disadvantage of speed caused them to be passive when facing the White Horse Yisong. The cavalry relied on their speed the most. The Hu Ben Army in the Cao Army It can pose a threat to Baima Yicong, but it must be after Baima Yicong is pursued.
However, the Yizhou army did not pursue it, so Cao Ren breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise the cavalry against the enemy army would be no small trouble.
"Who is the defender of the city? Let Zhang Duo come quickly." Cao Jun, a general leader, shouted immediately.
More than 8,000 Cao Jun approached the city, and oppression came to face each other. At this time, among the defenders on the city, more soldiers were soldiers of the Yizhou Army.
The grievances between the Yizhou Army and the Cao Jun are quite deep. How many elite soldiers in the Yizhou Army died in the process of attacking the generals. As long as they have the opportunity, they will not hesitate to rush forward to the Cao Jun. A severe lesson After learning that Cao Jun appeared outside the city, Tai Shici and Zhang Duo did not dare to neglect, and hurried to the south of the city. At this time Tai Shici was dressed in the clothes of ordinary soldiers and temporarily served as Zhang Duo. Guard.
In the south of the city, after seeing Cao Jun outside the city, Tai Shici frowned. Judging from the number of Cao Jun, once Cao Jun entered the city, there would be more variables, and now the city is in full preparation.
The soldiers guarding the city gates are crucial. In order to prevent the enemy from retreating midway after entering the city, Taishi Ci is also prepared.
However, looking at the current situation of the Cao army in terms of numbers, if all the Cao army is placed in the city, it will be a deterrent for the defenders. Putting a small portion of the Cao army into the city will make it easier to solve the war.
"This general is Zhang Duo. Who is the army outside the city?" Zhang Duo shouted. At this time, the more time you delay, the more preparations you can make for the army in the city. This kind of battle plan makes Zhang Duo Feeling excited, Cao Ren has a very high position in the Cao army. What a great credit to be able to capture these characters alive, after entering the army of the Jin Kingdom, what Zhang Duo wants is naturally credit.
The defenders on the city were also carefully selected by Zhang Duo. Most of them were soldiers of the original Cao army. If this way, there would be no big problems. The soldiers guarding the city gates came to Yizhou with five thousand. Among the soldiers, the most elite existence.
There were a total of three hundred soldiers defending the city gates. With such a number, if the battle started at the city gates, it would not be said that they were at a disadvantage due to the large number of enemy troops.
In order to teach Cao Ren a bitter lesson this time, Tai Shici made meticulous arrangements in order to let Cao Ren enter the trap.
