    —————————— Nanyang County, twenty miles outside the south gate of Wancheng, is the Jingzhou Army Camp.  …≦ The Chinese Army Commander’s tent was now packed with seats, including all the Jingzhou generals above Zhonglang General who were attacking Nanyang County this time.  On the upper level of the main tent, Huang Zu, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, occupies the commanding position. Below the steps on both sides are: military advisor Pang Tong, deputy commanders Zhang Yun, Han Dang and Taishi Ci, vanguard generals Wenpin and Liu Pan, deputy general Wei Yan, Xu Shu, who joined the army, and the accompanying commander  Liu Ba, the rear army generals Han Song, Pan Zhang and Xu Sheng, as well as the subordinate generals Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Feng Xi, Huo Jun, Li Yan and other more than 30 generals.  As of now, it has been ten days since the Jingzhou Army raided Nanyang County.  Seven days ago, the Jingzhou army captured more than ten cities in one go, and their troops came to Wancheng. They surrounded Wancheng on three sides and immediately launched an siege.  Five days ago, the army had successively captured more than 30 counties under the jurisdiction of Nanyang County, and sent soldiers, horses and officials to take over each county, as if they planned to occupy it for a long time, rather than plundering the money and food from the government treasury and then leaving.  However, today, another five days have passed. The Jingzhou army is attacking the city day and night, but it still stays in the south of Wancheng, unable to advance even an inch.  As the sun sets, a full ten days have passed. Wancheng has been besieged for seven days, but it has been blocked by the defenders of Wancheng. It has never been able to overcome the hurdle of Wancheng and cannot send its troops north to attack Sili.  Not only that, the situation when the Jingzhou army besieged Wancheng was completely different from the previous siege of Deng County.  The Battle of Deng County was an unexpected and sudden attack by the Jingzhou Army. They attacked the east gate in one fell swoop and then captured the city with lightning speed. The Deng County garrison was completely annihilated by the five thousand defenders under the ban tent. Generals Tie Sheng,  Huan Yi and more than ten generals died in the battle.  In the end, only Yu Jin survived and fled back to Wancheng alone.  But this time they attacked Wancheng.  The Jingzhou Army's good luck seemed to have run out.  As soon as they surrounded them, they hit a wall. The vanguard general Wenpin led his more than 40,000 infantrymen and had an encounter with the Nanyang defender Bo Cai.  At that time.  Wenpin's army marched down four cities in two days and attacked for more than 200 miles. They marched straight to Wancheng with great momentum.  The whole army thought that Bo Cai would shrink his troops and defend the city, and they absolutely did not dare to lead his troops out of the city to fight. Even Xu Shu, who joined the army, did not think that Wancheng's general would dare to fight head-on.  However, the reality was very different from what they expected. Just when they arrived at Xiping Col, which was thirty miles away from the south gate of Wancheng, a group of people suddenly shot out from both sides of the col.  It was the 40,000-strong armed guard battalion infantry led by Bo Cai.  In this battle, the two armies met on a narrow road. Wenpin's army barely had time to react and started fighting with the Wuwei camp under Bo Cai's account.  Although the Wuwei camp was an infantry force, there was a cavalry force of more than 20,000 people under Wenpin's tent. However, the mountain was narrow and the cavalry could not launch a charge. In addition, Bocai had already prepared and set up an ambush in advance.  So at the beginning of the battle, Wenpin's army lost thousands of soldiers. Later, with only 40,000 infantry under his account, Bocai caught Wenpin's army off guard.  After suffering more than 10,000 casualties, Wenpin was forced to lead his army to retreat.  In that encounter, Wenpin lost more than 20,000 infantry and cavalry. In addition to the more than 4,000 cavalry lost in the previous attack on Deng County, more than half of the 50,000 vanguard army suffered casualties.  Ruining all the previous achievements is equivalent to losing one's stride and wasting all previous efforts.  The late stage of the Battle of Xiping'ao.  Bocai did not lead his army in pursuit, but stopped as soon as he saw the opportunity.  Quickly withdraw troops and retreat to Wancheng.  When Pang Tong and Huang Zu led the Chinese army to join forces with Wenpin's former army, they approached the south gate of Wancheng.  However, I saw eight blockhouses built outside the four gates of Wancheng, a hundred steps away from the city gate, that is, by the moat, echoing the defenders on the city head, and being within the shooting range of the archers on the city head.  An "outer city" dedicated to defense was built outside the city.  It was precisely because of the appearance of these eight bunkers guarding the city gates that the Jingzhou Army's dream of conquering Nanyang County in one go was completely shattered. They hit a hard nail head on and fought hard for seven consecutive days, but they could not reach the moat.  Unable to get close to the city walls.  If you can't even attack the fortress guarding the city gate, how can you attack the city?  Therefore, strictly speaking, during the seven consecutive days and nights of the siege battle, the Jingzhou Army was actually attacking the fortress outside the city. They were always blocked five hundred steps away from the city gate and could not approach the city gate at all, let alone attack it.  The defenders on the city launched an effective attack.  Although the Jingzhou Army was unwilling to admit its defeat, facts proved that they had made no achievements and made no progress except for paying huge casualties of more than 30,000 people in seven days.  When night falls again, it will be the tenth day of the attack on Nanyang County.  Half an hour ago, the scouts came with news that Li Li, the Emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty who was based in Luoyang, sent an army of 100,000 to reinforce Bocai and would arrive in Wancheng in the near future.  The most important thing is that these 100,000 reinforcements are all Xiliang cavalry, and their attack speed is extremely fast. It is said that they can attack three hundred miles in one day and night, and it only takes two days and three nights to reach Wancheng from Luoyang.  Wancheng has been unable to be captured for a long time, and now it has to face 100,000 Xiliang cavalry. However, after this news was leaked, the entire army went up.The people are in panic, and even many generals are thinking of retreating, as if they have lost their energy and are timid before fighting.  The situation was urgent and the situation was serious. Huang Zu, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, immediately summoned the generals of all battalions to come to the commander's tent to discuss matters, pool their efforts, and discuss countermeasures together.  After the generals sat down one after another, Huang Zu did not exchange excessive greetings. He stated in a few words the purpose of convening the generals for discussion, and then ordered the scouts and captains to report the enemy's situation to the generals.  The scout captain did not dare to hesitate. He first confirmed that the rumors that had spread in the army were not false rumors, and then reported the specific number of reinforcements from the Western Jin Dynasty.  Immediately afterwards, I saw him report respectfully: "The name of the Western Jin army that came to reinforce Wancheng this time is one hundred thousand cavalry. In fact, it is far more than one hundred thousand soldiers and horses. Generals, please tell me about the soldiers and horses in each battalion of the Xiliang Army."  You should have heard about the equipment. The Xiliang army is different from our Southern Han army. Most of our army's battalions have 20,000 or 30,000 troops, and there are even 10,000 or 5,000 troops, which are also called one battalion. But Xiliang's army is different.  One battalion of the army has at least 33,000 troops, and some of the main battle battalions have as many as 50,000 troops. Correspondingly, each battalion of our army is led by a captain, and the commander of the troops leads at least two to three troops.  The generals and deputy generals of each battalion in the Xiliang Army are famous generals or powerful generals who are powerful in the world. Each main battle camp has one general and two deputy generals, and each commands 10,000 troops and horses, and each has a large number of troops.  There are ten thousand captains, that is, school captains. In addition, the troops in each battalion of the Xiliang Army are not just cavalry or infantry. There are also many special units. For example, the cavalry battalion is equipped with two thousand or three thousand heavy armored cavalry.  , 5,000 crossbow cavalry and 2,000 scouts, and the generals commanding these units are generally Zhonglang generals or partial generals. Therefore, the troops and horses of each battalion under Jin Emperor Li Li can fight alone and have good combat effectiveness.  Each of the soldiers and horses is a battle-hardened division, and its generals are also long-famous battlefield veterans or famous generals of the Western Jin Dynasty." Seeing the generals in the tent with different expressions after listening to the scout captain's story, they sat on the right  Pang Tong, the military advisor at the head of the side, suddenly interrupted him: "The generals here already know these trivial military information, so you don't need to elaborate. The war is urgent, stop talking and report the enemy's situation directly." Although the tone was gentle, it was  It is not difficult to hear that Pang Tong was very dissatisfied with the scout captain.  "Because this person's words all reveal his fear and cowardice of the Xiliang Army, and there is also a bit of yearning in it. The tendency is too obvious, and it is quite suspected of being cheating.  If he were allowed to continue talking, he would be equivalent to a lobbyist sent by the Western Jin Dynasty. Not only would it be of no benefit to the war at hand, it would instead make the generals in the tent more fearful and timid and their morale even lower.  Therefore, Pang Tong had to interrupt him, remind him to pay attention to his identity and position, and say what he asked, and he should not be trusted to talk and deceive the soldiers.  Hearing this, the scout captain's expression changed, and he quickly knelt down to plead guilty. Master Pang Tong simply ignored him and waved his hand to signal him to continue reporting the military information.  After being beaten by Pang Tong for a while, the scout captain no longer dared to show off his eloquence and said concisely and respectfully: "The Western Jin army rushing to aid Wancheng this time has a total of 120,000 troops. They are: 50,000 troops led by Fenwei General Lu Bu.  The Wolf Cavalry Army was led by Zhang Fei's Zhuque Camp and Ma Chao's Longxiang Camp. The commander of these troops was Zhuge Liang, the general of the Western Jin Dynasty. The commander of the army was Sima Yi of Hanoi. The commander of the army was Yang Fu, the supervisor of the Zhuque Camp.  , following Zhuge Liang on the expedition were two famous rising stars and a long-established general: Sun Li, Hao Zhao and Guan Yu. " At this point, he paused, then thought of something, and quickly added: "  According to the report from the sentinel cavalry, Zhuge Liang set off with his army two days ago and will arrive at Wancheng at noon tomorrow at the latest." After speaking, he immediately stepped aside and said nothing.  As the scout captain remained silent, there was no sound in the commander's tent. It was so quiet that the scout captain stood at the entrance of the tent and was ready to exit the commander's tent at any time. However, at this moment, he could clearly hear the heavy and heavy shouts of the commanders on both sides.  Rapid breathing.  Lu Bu, who is the most brave in the world, is here, Ma Chao, the mighty general, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu from the Three Heroes of Hulao are also here, and with them is Zhuge Liang, the "crouching dragon" who has become famous in Jingxiang seven years ago.  , and Hanoi Sima Yi, who is currently unknown.  With a division of 120,000 warriors, all warriors on the battlefield, plus a Mr. Wolong who compares favorably with Guan Zhong and Le Yi, this is definitely a super luxurious and even extravagant powerful lineup.  These well-known names were like hammers hitting the hearts of the generals in the tent, making their heads buzz and their minds fluctuating violently like turbulent waves, filled with thoughts and fears.  At this moment, the more than 30 commanders and generals in the commander's tent had different expressions and were in a trance.  But I saw that Pang Tong, who had always been calm and calm, had a solemn expression, his eyes were deep and dark, and the expression on his face changed again and again, and it was uncertain. Liu Biao's son Liu Pan claimed to be brave, but at this time his face was gloomy and his eyes were twinkling.  Distraught and frightened; Wei Yan, who had a high self-esteem and was almost arrogant, had flushed cheeks and heavy and rapid breathing. He looked excited and excited, but his eyes were??Erase, showing that he is not only emotionally excited at the moment, but also somewhat fearful from the bottom of his heart? ————To be continued————————————————  ——(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
