Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 288

After Master Shang defeated Cao Hong, he immediately went from Duyang to Bowang, and then went south to Wancheng.

After Master Shang got in touch with Li Jing, Li Jing asked Master Shang to station outside Wancheng.Master Shang and his disciples set up a camp in Wancheng, where they were restrained.When Yu Jin saw Master Shang and his disciples being sent from the north, he knew that Cao Hong was in danger.He quickly ordered Li Dian and Li Tong of Jiyang to return to Wancheng if they couldn't defend.

Sure enough, with Master Shang's restraint, Yu Jin had to be much more cautious when going out of the city.After all, there was a fierce general by his side, so Yu Jin didn't dare to be careless.

Only then was Li Jing able to focus all his attention on Jiyang, and he began to organize a siege.There is basically no need for Li Jing to worry about things like siege, and it can be left to the subordinates.Because of the catapult, Jiyang can be said to be easily breached.

Qin Qiong and Wang Yanzhang personally led the team to attack the city, and under the cover of arrows, they easily reached the top of the city.Although Wang Yanzhang was scalded by boiling water on his left arm, he still fought the enemy bravely and successfully occupied a section of the city.The next thing was much simpler. The city wall fell, and Li Dian and Li Tong could only fight in the streets.

However, the two of them had no intention of defending to the death, because most of the enemy had entered the city, and the number of enemy troops outside the city was much smaller. Li Dian and Li Tong took the opportunity to break through, and then retreated to Wancheng.

Li Jing asked Gao Changgong to hunt him down, and went into Thornyyang to appease the people in the city.

Gao Changgong followed Li Dian and Li Tong, while sending fast horses to inform Master Shang and his disciples to stop them, while using cavalry to drive Cao Jun away.

Just when Li Dian and Li Tong were about to reach Wancheng, Master Shang and his disciples suddenly rushed out and joined forces with Gao Changgong.After running for nearly a day, they were intercepted by the enemy again. Li Dian and Li Tong were a little desperate. They had almost no ability to fight again.

The good thing is that Jin discovered the battle outside the city in the city, and immediately led his troops out to respond, otherwise Li Dian and Li Tong might have died here.

After returning to Wancheng, Yu Jin counted the soldiers and found that there were only more than 5000 soldiers and horses left by Er Li, and most of them were wounded.Yu Jin also lost 4000 people in a series of battles before.Now there are only a little more than 2 people in Wancheng, and the others were either killed or captured or ran away.

Few of Zhang Yi's soldiers escaped, mainly because the treatment given by Zhang Yi was so good.But Cao Cao still used his old ideas to recruit troops, and it was easy to escape.

Li Jing also came to Wancheng three days later. An army of [-] surrounded Wancheng and began to attack in all directions.

Yu Jin held on for a month, but there was not enough food in the city, and the city walls were also destroyed by catapults, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties.Moreover, the people in the city were also emotionally unstable. Li Jing blocked the roads. If they wanted to live and cook, they had to demolish their houses to make fire.

Li Dian walked up to Yu Jin and said in a low voice, "General, there are less than six thousand soldiers in the city who can still fight."

Yu Jin also became worried, "Yes! The casualties are too great! If this continues, in another half a month, we will have no soldiers to fight."

Li Dian said: "Yes! What should I do now?"

Yu Jin said: "If we withdraw from Wancheng now, we can retreat to Ye County and use Wo Niu Mountain to threaten Duyang, so that we can recuperate."

Li Dian asked with some concerns: "If Wancheng is lost, I will be blamed for filming, and the general will probably be criticized."

Yu Jin said: "Why do you only care about yourself at this time, you should put the master's great cause first."

Li Dian quickly said: "If the lord blames, Dian will advance and retreat with the general."

The two have made a plan, and they will start preparing immediately.After preparing for a day, Yu Jin immediately opened the city gate and broke through.

When Li Jing saw Yu Jin break through, he immediately ordered Master Shang and his disciples to chase after him, but he still told him not to chase him too far, as long as he chased him out of the boundaries of Nanyang County.Li Jing entered the already dilapidated Wancheng and immediately asked the soldiers to clean it up.As the largest county in Nanyang, Wancheng can be said to be the foundation of Nanyang, and it will be needed to prevent Cao Cao from invading in the future.

Because Di Qing was not in Nanyang, Li Jing acted as the prefect of Nanyang temporarily.He left Wang Yanzhang to garrison Wancheng, and then sent Gao Changgong and Gao Xiang to go northwest through Juanguo and Xixian County, and then went south to Danshui County to attack Wuguan northwest along Danshui.Wuguan is the most important pass for Nanyang to enter the pass, and it is a majestic pass that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

At this time, Wuguan's defense is not very strict, and it is very likely to be taken if it is attacked.Because there are not many soldiers in Guanzhong now, except for defending Chang'an, Cao Cao's core army basically cannot leave Chang'an.

Qin Qiong went south to attack Nieyang, Anzhong, Rangxian, and Champion, and then went north to Xi'e, Bowang, and Zhixian to recover those counties occupied by Cao Jun.

Yu Jin retreated from Wancheng. Under the pursuit of Master Shang and his disciples, he withdrew while fighting and retreated to Bowang.After he left his battle-ready soldiers behind, he ordered Li Dian to return to Ye County, and Li Tong to go up Wo Niu Mountain from Duyang.There is the Great Wall of Chu on the Wo Niu Mountain near Duyang, and these Great Walls of Chu can still be used when they arrive.Although the Great Wall of Chu was built to defend against the invasion of the Qin State, it still has a strong defensive ability facing the southeast.

Li Tong went up to Wo Niu Mountain and set up an ambush on the Great Wall of Chu.Yu Jin withdrew to Duyang, and Master Shang and his disciples pursued him closely.Master and apprentice Shang have always wanted to kill several generals Cao to avenge his brothers Jiao Zan.But all these years, nothing has happened.

Yu Jin withdrew from Duyang and retreated to Ye County.Master Shang pressed on on foot, as if he would not give up if he would not eat Yu Jin's soldiers.

At this time, Li Tong came down from Wo Niu Mountain and raided Duyang, cutting off the retreat of Master Shang and his disciples.And burned the food and grass of Master Shang and apprentice, leaving only five days of food for Master Shang and apprentice.

Master and apprentice Shang learned that Duyang was occupied by Cao Jun, and immediately led troops to counterattack.Li Tong had few people, so he didn't dare to resist his master and apprentice, so he turned around and went up Wo Niu Mountain again.Master and apprentice Shang took Duyang again, and then sent people back to escort the grain and grass.He felt that he was being teased. After getting the food and grass, he immediately led his troops to attack Wo Niu Mountain.

But Wo Niu Mountain is very dangerous, and it is impossible to take it down in a short time.He was stationed in Duyang, and told Li Jing that if he stayed here for a long time, he would definitely drive Cao Jun out of Nanyang.

Li Jing also knew the grievances between Master Shang and Cao Jun, and he didn't object, but told him to be careful not to capsize in the gutter.And let Qin Qiong be stationed in Bowang, and pay attention to Duyang at any time, so as to support Master Shang and his disciples.

Zhang Yi has not had many cavalry in recent years, because there are too few horses, and he only saved [-] cavalry a few years ago.But not much was given to Jingzhou, only [-] cavalry led by Gao Changgong, and the remaining [-] were given to Xue Rengui with [-], Zhang Yi kept [-] in Shouchun, and [-] cavalry in Xiacai and Shen County. Guard the front line of the Huai River.
