Chapter 32 The First Battle of Fancheng
Chapter 32: The First Battle of Fancheng
Yue Fei led an army of [-] to Fancheng. Originally, according to Yue Fei's idea, he hoped that Deng Sheng could give him a [-] army, so that he could divide his troops into two groups, one to attack Fancheng and the other to attack Jiangxia, but now there are only [-] troops. However, it is not appropriate to divide the troops into two groups. After all, Jing State is very weak, but tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can still be gathered. If the troops are divided, it is difficult to form an advantage in terms of strength. , I am afraid that even the city will not be able to attack.

At the same time Yue Fei came to Fancheng, Cai Mao also led an army of 1 to invade Fancheng. Today, there are only 5000 soldiers left in the Jing Kingdom. Taking all the soldiers and horses away, I am afraid that Jing Wang Wang Yao will be the first to clean him up. In desperation, Cai Mao had to leave [-] soldiers and horses to guard Jiangling. Xiangyang behind Fancheng is an important town. It is also the gate of Jiangling, the capital of the king. Cai Mao also had to leave a garrison of soldiers and horses in case of accidents, so he left [-] soldiers and horses in Xiangyang, and Jiang Xia, although all the soldiers and horses of Deng Jun were under Fancheng. , but Jiangxia is bordered by Deng State. If Deng State sends another army to attack Jiangxia, Jiangxia will definitely not be able to defend it. So Cai Mao sent another [-] soldiers and horses into Jiangxia, and [-] people guarded Jiangxia's Xiling. , [-] people guard Xiakou in case of accidents. Therefore, only [-] soldiers and horses can come to Fancheng with Cai Mao, plus the [-] soldiers and horses originally stationed in Fancheng, a total of [-] troops constitute the first line of defense. I also have lingering fears about Deng Jun's combat effectiveness. Adding in the [-] Jing Army, the only truly elite troops are the [-] soldiers who have been guarding Fancheng all year round. The rest are basically new recruits in recent years. It was worrying, so as soon as he arrived, Cai Mao quickly ordered people to reinforce the city, prepare materials for defending the city, and planned to defend it to the death and not to fight Deng Jun in the field.

Seeing Cai Mao's posture, Yue Fei didn't understand that the Jing army was planning to defend to the death, but Yue Fei didn't panic in his heart, the soldiers and horses in his hands were all elite, against an underdog like Jing country, even if it was a strong attack, No problem at all.

At night, Yue Fei summoned Yang Yanzhao, Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, Deng Ai, Pang De, Li Xiucheng, Song Guang, Wang Ce, Su Hong, Zhang Bin, and Yao Guangxiao to discuss attacking the city.

Yue Fei said: "Everyone, I have received news that General Jing Mao has led an army to enter Fancheng, and at the same time Fancheng is also strengthening the city. It seems that he wants to defend to the death. General Yang, you and Cai Mao I have played against each other, what do you think?"

Yang Yanzhao thought of Cai Mao, and said with disdain: "Cai Mao, his heart is higher than the sky, and his life is thinner than paper. Although I don't have much contact with him, when I was in the king's residence, I met with General Chang Yuchun. I often study some of Cai Mao's battles. This man is very happy. On the surface, he has been in the army for so many years, and he has always won more victories than he lost. In my opinion, the position of General Jing Guo has something to do with his family background." Afterwards, Yang Yanzhao briefly talked about Cai Mao's battles over the years.

After Yue Fei heard this, he couldn't help shaking his head, and said: "I thought that Cai Mao, the No. 1 general of Jing Guo, was not a famous general in the world, but at least he had the strength of General Huang Biao. , He will be so unbearable, it seems that he is too cautious to tell the king to destroy Jing Kingdom within a year." Although Yue Fei is Huang Biao's subordinate, he also respects Huang Biao very much, but in terms of ability, he is far superior to himself. Huang Biao, the 3 soldiers and horses of Cai Mao's commander made Huang Biao's [-] soldiers completely wiped out. His ability is really not flattering.

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed.

Yue Fei touched the saber in his hand, and said: "Since that's the case, then we don't want to play tricks with Cai Mao, just attack by force and it's over, the generals obey orders!"

"The end is here!"

"Starting tomorrow, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Deng Ai, Pang De, Song Guanger and other five people will each lead [-] troops to attack the city in batches, and each batch will attack the city for two hours, regardless of day and night. Within three days, To take down Fancheng, Yang Yanzhao, Wang Ce and this general command [-] troops to lead the formation, and Li Xiucheng leads [-] troops to sit in the camp!" Yue Fei said with his sword in his hand.

"Here!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" In the early morning of the next day, the battle drums sounded in Fancheng, and Zhang Fei, as the first batch of troops to attack the city, came to the city with [-] soldiers and horses.

Zhang Fei glanced coldly at the defenders on Fancheng, and ordered: "All officers and men obey the order and take down Fancheng!"

"Kill!" The [-] soldiers and horses were divided into several groups, carried ladders, and pushed carts to kill Fancheng.

Cai Mao on the wall looked at Deng Jun below the wall with stern eyes, and said, "Archer, go!"

Tens of thousands of arrows were fired from Fancheng, and many Deng Jun soldiers who rushed to the front fell instantly. After several shots, Zhang Fei led Deng Jun soldiers finally rushed to the bottom of the city, set up a ladder, and climbed up the city wall one by one.

Cai Mao said loudly: "Jushi, get ready to roll the log."

Yue Fei and others in Deng's army looked at the bloody battle in the city without any waves in their eyes.

Two hours later, Zhang Fei led the soldiers and horses to retreat slowly. After all of Zhang Fei's soldiers and horses had retreated, there was a mess above and below the city, and the corpses of soldiers from the two armies were everywhere.

After Zhang Fei retreated, the second batch of siege troops led by Ma Chao came to the city and began to attack the city without saying a word. The attack, but he didn't expect it to be a direct attack, which caught him off guard.

Another two hours later, Ma Chao led his troops back slowly, but before Cai Mao recovered his breath, the third batch of siege troops led by Deng Ai came over. At this point, Cai Mao finally understood , Deng Jun is fighting a wheel battle, several troops take turns attacking the city.

After the five siege troops had attacked once, Yue Fei let the army rest for two hours, and at the same time took this opportunity to count the number of casualties.

Today's attack on the city, Deng's army killed more than a thousand people, injured more than [-] people, and more than [-] people were seriously injured and couldn't go to the battlefield. Deng Guo's crazy attack today made these new recruits terrified, and they couldn't raise their morale at all. The city is always the dominant side. As long as the difference in military strength is not particularly large, there will be no such a large battle loss ratio. This proves the difference in combat effectiveness of the Jing army from the side.
