The Three Kingdoms

All the staff officers in the camp quieted down, and each of them exchanged their thoughts in silence.

"Commander, we can't let them withdraw from Xiliang!"

Fazheng said decisively: "I propose to send troops immediately to capture Xiabian and the Wei army of Sima Yi's department!"

"Overseer?" Chen Dao struggled for a while, and subconsciously looked at Zhuge Liang.

"Where is Zhang Ren's army advancing now?"

At this time Zhuge Liang raised his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked calmly.

"According to today's report from the scouts, their army should have marched here now. Xidang Town, this is a small town on the edge of the desert, close to Guanghan County. If they march westward for a day, they will leave Wudu and enter the gift city. The river bends!" Fazheng said hastily.

"It's not so easy to go back to the debate here!"

Zhuge Liang looked at that position, considered the distance between them, and after pondering for a moment, a confident sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, his face became decisive, and he said: "Commander, I propose to send troops immediately to encircle and argue. Of course, we can't If you don’t defend against Zhang Ren’s troops, you can let the No.14 Army’s No.40 Fifth Division, which has already invaded Baimaqiang, retreat from the west, withdraw from the Cizhi River, march eastward, and send troops to Xidang Town. Don’t be strong, just contain Zhang It is enough to be a large army, and all our other troops will go north immediately, and within three days, the soldiers will besiege Biancheng and conquer Sima Yi's troops!"

"it is good!"

When the generals heard these words, they all became excited all of a sudden.

"I now order that the Ninth Army, within three days, the main force must reach Pingling Mountain, the Tenth Army, within three days, must take Yerengou, and the No. 11 Army will prepare troops for the Tenth Army, and follow closely Finally, go to the top at any time, the No.12 Army will fight in a roundabout way, pressing on the northern flank!"

"I ordered all the troops of the No.14 Army, except the No.40 Fifth Division, to go north immediately, capture the Xiaodu River, and storm the defense from the southwest!"

After the two commanders looked at each other, their expressions became decisive, and they each ordered in person, and then one by one of their staff officers hurriedly took the military orders to each army station to convey their military orders.

"Governor Zhuge, this battle has used all the soldiers and horses of our Bashu Army, and I must personally lead the army to the north!"

Standing up with a burly body, Chen Dao stared at the position of the upper and lower Biancheng on the sand table, and said confidently: "I will take down the lower Biancheng at the lowest cost and wipe out the Sima Yi's troops of the Wei army!"

"Be careful!"

Zhuge nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Also, before you attack Xiabian, you must first take down Qishan with cavalry to block their retreat. Of course, you must also be careful of the attack from behind, and keep an eye on the back! "

"Yes!"

Chen Dao nodded respectfully.

Following the issuance of military orders from the headquarters, the soldiers and horses stationed by the Wu army on the borders of Guanghan County and Hanzhong County basically started to move. Xiabian City made no secret of its progress.

The army attacked with mighty momentum.

At the same time, the No.14 Army, which is located in the west of Guanghan and stationed in Yinping Road, also received an order, and the whole army set out to advance towards Xiabian City with all its strength.

November [-]th.

Among the various armies, the No.14 Army No.40 Fourth Division was the fastest. They had prepared for a long time. Order.

Commanding the battalion, it took only one day. They broke up and gathered troops, and suddenly emerged. They caught the Wei army by surprise, and successively conquered five or six organizational positions arranged by the Wei army on the Xiaodu River in the southwest suburb of Xiabian.

In one day, with five battles and five victories, eight thousand Wei troops were driven back to the city, and the result of beheading three thousand generals was also achieved, directly approaching the city.

Xiaodu River.

This day the river is a branch of the Xiabai River, lingering in the southwest direction of Xiabian City, not very long, and not very fast, but when the Xiaodu Bridge was destroyed, it was like a gap blocking the southwest direction of Xiabian City.

"Boys, go chop wood, get local materials, and build a bridge for me. The main force of my No. 14 army has already gone north. We must pave this road in the shortest possible time, so that the main force can quickly approach the city!"

The commander of the No.40 Fourth Division was also from the Southern Barbarians, named Jinhuan Sanjie, and he was commanding the soldiers to build bridges.

"Chief of staff, the headquarters uses our No.14 army as the vanguard, and is trying to consume the strength of our southern barbarian army?" Mrs. Chang Zhurong asked in a low voice worried.

Although the Nanman tribe has now completely surrendered to Great Wu, the Nanman warriors below have not changed their minds, and they still have some hearts for the Nanman. In their hearts, the lives of the Nanman warriors are very important.

The No.14 Army is basically composed of warriors from the Southern Barbarian Army. Xu Sheng did not disperse this force in order to maintain the strongest combat power.

But this also has a downside.

Among the soldiers of the No.14 Army, they basically only obeyed the orders of the commander Meng Huo, and didn't care much about the people under the orders of the headquarters.

"Golden Ring and Three Knots, how do you think our people are living now?"

Mrs. Zhu Rong wore a red cloak, a heroine, majestic, with her hands on her back, standing by the Xiaodu River, looking at the surging river, and asked back.

"It should be much better than before!"

Jin Huan Sanjie heard the words and thought for a while: "In the past, we were in the mountains. Did we have to eat or wear anything? In winter, we still got into caves to keep warm. Now the Wu people built a building for us in Yizhou County. In the city, you can live in a big house, you can get a field, and you can wear good clothes..."

"All of this is not for nothing, you have to pay to get it!"

Mrs. Zhu Rong smiled slightly, and said: "Our clansmen live well because our warriors are serving the Great Wu. At this time, we need to work hard!"

"I understand!"

Jin Huan Sanjie took a deep breath and nodded.

Mrs. Zhu Rong's meaning is already obvious. No matter whether the headquarters intends to consume their strength or not, there is only one thing they can do now, desperately.

Only by desperately embodying the value of the existence of the Southern Barbarian warriors, will the imperial court treat their clansmen more kindly.

……

Xiabian City.

"What a Wu army, the speed is too fast. He actually devoured the three thousand soldiers I deployed in Xiaodu River in one day, and pushed the soldiers and horses to the city. If you hadn't been prepared, I'm afraid you would have been caught off guard. !"

Sima Yi stood on the wall of the west city gate, looking at the crowds of people by the Xiaodu River in the distance, and the soldiers of the Wu army in alternating blue and white uniforms, his expression was a little cold.

"General, this is probably just their vanguard, why don't we go out of the city to fight and eat some of this army!"

"No need!"

Sima Yi shook his head, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "No one knows if the main force behind them has arrived. This may be the bait to induce us to go out of the city and fight. Our current strategy is to stick to the defense and hold back the main force of the Wu army. Leave the rest to Zhang Ren!" To be continued.

[Text 130 Chapter Three Dragon Tiger Fight Fourteen]

Wu Jun's soldiers and horses encircled Biancheng a little faster than Sima Yi expected.

"Report to the general, the Wu army in the east is approaching Pingling Mountain!"

"Report to the general, the Wu army in the south is stationed on the Savage Ditch in the early morning of this morning!"

"Report to the general, the battle on the west side has already started this morning, the Wu army is attacking fiercely, and General Wu Lan has led the troops to defend the west gate!"

In the camp of the Chinese army, news came from the mouths of scout soldiers, and Sima Yi's calm face also had a trace of gloom.

He did not expect that the offensive and defensive battle of Xiabian City would start soon.
