At the head of Wancheng, the Jingzhou flag fluttered in the wind, looking at the endless plain in front of him, Cai Mao's heart could not be calmed down for a long time.
Since he was captured alive by Cao Anmin last time, in the past few months, he has been fighting hard and trying his best, and finally he has another chance to avenge his shame.
Although Cao Anmin ordered all his troops to march extremely fast, they were still one step behind him.After Cai Mao entered the city, he collected the remnants of Zhang Xiu's troops, and gathered [-] troops, all of whom were under the command of General Wenpin.Right now, Wancheng is like a monolith, with no flaws in the whole body.
"Military division, the spies are here to report that Cao's army has set up camp ten miles away from the city." Wenpin, dressed in military uniform, strode forward with a heroic look all over his body.
Jingzhou Titans come out in large numbers, with Huang Zhong in the past, Wenpin in the later, and now Cai Mao's recommendation. Wenpin's status has risen, and he has become the leader of the real power faction in Jingzhou at a young age.Although [-] of the [-] troops brought in this time are new troops, Wenpin is in charge of the army, and his prestige in the army is enough to deal with everything. With him, Cai Mao feels much more at ease.
"Order the ministries to block the four gates and add more lighting at night to prevent Cao's army from attacking the city at night."
At first, Cai Hao originally planned to sneak attack the enemy tonight when Cao An's people were exhausted and their positions were not stable. However, after losing consecutive water battles on the Yangtze River, he would inevitably feel a little timid to fight Cao Anmin again.After thinking about it, it is safer to stick to it.
"Obey!" Wenpin turned and prepared to leave.
"Wait!" Cai Mao suddenly remembered something and called out to the other party.
"What else does the military commander have to say?"
"How is Zhang Xiu's remnant army?"
Wen Pin hesitated for a moment, then clasped his fists and said: "Military division, I think it's inappropriate to rely solely on suppression. Zhang Xiu has won the hearts of the army, and most of the 2 people are members of his Xiliang Army team. It is by no means a matter of overnight. I think it’s better to take it slowly, first disrupt it and insert it into our army, and then those generals of Zhang Xiu’s army will either seize their military power or make them empty posts. Over time, Zhang Xiu’s remnant army will definitely be taken for his own use.”
Cai Mao may not listen to others offering advice.But Wenpin is a warrior he single-handedly picked up, and Cai Mao can still humbly accept his suggestion.
"Okay, for the sake of the overall situation, you can handle military affairs on your own, and you don't need to ask me about everything." Cai Mao's words were sincere, Wen Pin was moved, and he took the order to leave.
The opportunity has been lost, the soldiers are exhausted, and the force of the siege can't be used to [-]%.That being the case, why not stay and rest to restore energy.
Under Cai Maowenpin's anxious waiting, four days passed quickly, and Wancheng was still peaceful.Under the high-intensity persistence, the morale of the Jingzhou Army declined, and the soldiers were extremely exhausted from the day and night.
It was not until the fifth day that Cao Anmin led the crowd to attack.
Just after dawn, there was a roaring sound of drums beating in the north of Wancheng.Surrounded by Wang Yanzhang, Cao Anmin led two thousand elites to attack the city with the roaring drums.
Wenpin, who got the news, rushed over quickly. Although there were not many enemy troops under the city gate, Wenpin did not dare to be careless at all, and ordered the soldiers to be careful.Wen Pin gave an order, and the soldiers on the city either bent their bows or put their hands on the logs and stones, waiting for Cao An's army to enter the effective attack range.
"Listen to the enemy troops in the city. Wang Yanzhang of Bingzhou is here. If you are sensible, you can directly switch and surrender, or no one will be left behind after the city is broken." , It also made Zhang Xiujun trembling at Chengguan.
With one order, thousands of Cao Jun rushed forward like a tide.Seeing that he was about to enter the attack range, Wenpin raised his hand in mid-air, and was about to shout the word "attack" in his mouth, when the Cao army under the city suddenly retreated like a tidal wave, and disappeared without a trace in an instant no trace.
"What's the situation?" Wen Pin was stunned on the spot, and many soldiers beside him were dumbfounded.Cao Jun mobilized the crowd to rush under the city and retreat without fighting. What is this for?
It's actually very simple, after losing the opportunity.Cao Anmin and Yao Guangxiao began to discuss whether to fight Wancheng or not.The land of Wancheng is the throat to control Jingzhou. If it is in the hands of Cao Jun, Yuema Jiangnan will be at your fingertips.If you want to take the city, it is unwise to attack by force. If you want to take it out of your wits, the only way is to find a gap.
In fact, Cao Anmin used exhaustion tactics.In ancient siege warfare, the attacking party and the defending party are two completely different concepts. The attacking party takes the initiative, while the defending party is completely passive.You don't know when the attacking party will attack.Therefore, the soldiers defending the city must be patient and mentally tough.Once relaxed, the attacking party may take this opportunity to break through the city in one go.
I thought that Cao Jun retreated timidly, but only an hour later, Cao Jun attacked again.Repeatedly and repeatedly, when the sun went down, the sound of gold ringing sounded again, and when Cao Jun retreated, even a fool could figure out Cao Anmin's strategic intentions.
The tactics of tired soldiers, although abominable.But it is indeed the most reliable and effective way to break through the strong city.
For a whole day, the sound of war drums kept ringing and stopping, ringing and stopping again.Under Cao Jun's command, Wang Yanzhang, Huang Zhong, Zhou Cang, Li Kui, Wei Yan, and Xu Sheng took turns to fight, and the number of each attack remained at 2000.Every time it was a menacing siege, but when it was about to enter the attack range, it stopped abruptly.
For Cao Jun under the city, it is extremely comfortable to have six or seven generals going out in rotation. Each time they go out for an hour, they can rest for half a day when they come back. It is rare to have such a leisure time when they are away from the battle.Repeatedly, extremely comfortable.During the war, Cao Anmin was not stingy at all, adding oil and meat to the meals, and everyone had a good time eating and exercising their muscles and bones without complaining.
But compared with Cao Jun, the Jingzhou Army above the Chengguan is really miserable.From early morning to dusk, they not only did not have enough food, but also had no way to rest. Every time the enemy retreated and had no time to breathe, the next wave swept in again.Until dusk, Cao Jun, who had been attacking for half an hour, finally withdrew.
"Huh!" Wenpin tore off his armor on the spot, and sat on the ground panting.
In this battle, the generals of Jingzhou, Cai Mao, called him to come. Since the surrender of Huang Zhong, Gan Ning and others, the top generals of the Jingzhou army have been dislocated, and they have fallen into the embarrassing situation of having no generals available. All defenses can only rely on Wenpin.
"General, brothers are really hungry, how about cooking here?" Several guards bravely told Wenpin what was in their hearts.
Looking at the exhausted brother in front of him, Wenpin couldn't bear it. Cao Jun had just retreated, and the enemy army would definitely not attack again in a short while.What's more, Cao's army attacked the north gate every time. Compared with the other three gates, the brothers here are really hard.Sighing, he said to the lieutenant behind him, "Replace the brothers from the other three sects, and take the time to rest to prevent the enemy from attacking at night."
"Long live the general." All the soldiers cheered, and they all let out a sigh of relief, with tears of excitement in their eyes.Those soldiers who were already too hungry to stand up changed to the other three gates, and immediately lit a fire to make food.At the head of the entire Wancheng city, there are little stars and smoke everywhere.
Chapter 114 Siege White and Black
Taking advantage of the time when the soldiers were cooking and resting, Wen Pin didn't have time to rest, so he rushed to meet Cai Mao.
In the study, after dinner, Cai Mao was holding a copy of Zuo Zhuan and reading it with gusto.The habit of many years, reading after meals, is difficult to change even if you are marching and fighting.When Wenpin walked in front of him, he reluctantly put down the bamboo slips.
"Why are you here, Cao Jun has retreated?"
Wenpin shook his head, and said with a serious expression: "Military Master, Cao's army is using the strategy of exhausting soldiers. If things go on like this, our soldiers will be exhausted and their morale will be slackened. Sooner or later we will lose."
Cai Hao lost all joy, put down his book, and said righteously: "Our army is [-], and Cao's army is [-] attacking the city. How can the general let them show off their power under the city? If the enemy dares to attack again, go out of the city and kill the enemy. Let the enemy know the majesty of our Jingzhou army."
Wen Pin showed hesitation, clasped his fists and said: "Military Master, Cao's army only used [-] troops in several attacks during the day. I am worried that Cao's army ambushed the army outside the city, waiting for us to leave the city."
When Cai Mao heard this, he decided to be on the safe side, and immediately gave up his plan to go out of the city to attack.
"Yes, it's better to guard the city and wait for the enemy to retreat."
Wen Pin secretly sighed in his heart, as the chief general and the head of the army, he was so afraid of the enemy's repeated avoidance of battle.
"Avoiding the war like this is not a long-term solution. Military commander, I intend to lead a team of partial divisions and drive out of the city to guard the city."
"What!" Cai Mao was stunned for a moment, who is Wenpin, that can be said to be his amulet.If the amulet is gone, can he still eat and read in peace in the city?
"No, absolutely not. If you leave the city, what will happen to the military affairs in the city. General Wen, I know your intentions are good, but considering the overall situation, the city cannot live without you."
"But..." Wen Pin was about to defend himself, when the horn sounded again outside the city.
"General, Cao's army is attacking the city again." The guard quickly sent the news, Wen Pin frowned slightly, looking at this posture, Cao Anmin planned to fight at night.
For the Jingzhou army in the city, this is extremely bad news.
"Quick, hurry up and guard the city, whether to divide the troops until the enemy retreats." Cai Mao's face changed drastically, and there was a scolding in his words.
Wenpin is loyal, even if he feels dissatisfied, he will put the overall situation first at this time.He walked out quickly and headed directly towards the city wall.
The sound of war drums resounded across the field, and Cao Jun attacked Chengguan four times in one night.The Jingzhou army who guarded the previous three times was relatively well-fed and well-fed, and the morale of the army was stable.But by the time of the fourth enemy attack in the middle of the night, some soldiers had lost their spirits, and more soldiers had concluded that the enemy was feinting again and ignored them.But soon, they tasted the bitter fruit.The fourth time was after Cao Anmin personally led the [-] Beiwei troops out.It quickly crossed the attack range, seventy steps, fifty steps.Thirty steps.The speed was very fast, and some guards didn't even come to their senses.
When they reacted, Cao Anmin had already crossed the moat and set up a ladder to attack the city.
Fortunately, Wenpin urgently ordered the defenders to step up their resistance. Under the resistance of Arrow Wood, Cao Jun finally retreated.But because of Cao Anmin's disturbance, the Jingzhou soldiers no longer dared to take their guard lightly, and everyone stared wide-eyed at the enemy attacking the city.
But wait until dawn.
Inside Cao Jun's camp, Cao Anmin was having breakfast with his generals.After a night of hard work, the food in the morning remained the same, but a lot of ingredients were added to the broth. A bowl of soup could fill the stomach and refresh the stomach, and the soldiers and generals were also happy to eat.
The two armies formed a team, from Cao Anmin to Cao Ang, and down to the soldiers, the food was all the same, and the generals and soldiers shared weal and woe, and advanced and retreated together.Because of this, their soldiers are extremely brave when they charge into battle.
"Brother, be careful when feinting an attack during the day, I'm worried that Wenpin will jump over the wall in a hurry and lead the army out of the city."
Cao Ang wiped the corners of his mouth, and fought again and again. Not only was the eldest son not tired, but he was a little excited. In the past, he usually stayed in the shogunate when he fought, so how could he have many opportunities to charge up? out of hand.Seeing Cao Anmin speak, he put the last grain of rice into his mouth, put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped the corner of his mouth and said.
