Han counter current

"Brother, I want you to lead [-] elite troops to Changsha in secret. Don't tell anyone along the way. The news that General Huang Zhong led the troops to the south will spread soon. If there are no generals guarding Changsha, it is very May be attacked by the Jiangdong navy."

"Changsha, that's true. No matter what, then I won't delay. Give me Ji Kang's navy. In addition, I will select some elites and gather 5000 people. Let's set off now."

"Well, remember, your mission is to defend Changsha. As for how to fight, that's your problem. You don't have to report to me. When General Han Sheng returns from victory, your mission will be considered complete."

"No problem, hey, maybe this time I can set a trap for the Jiangdong army..."

The Jiangdong army's offensive has not diminished recently. What is most surprising is that, apart from the Jiangdong navy, Yangzhou has also dispatched [-] Jiangdong soldiers and horses to occupy the southern area of ​​Yangzhou.

If Lu Xiao hadn't led the troops to show up in time, most of Yangzhou would have fallen into the hands of the Jiangdong Army, and then Wen Meng led thousands of elite soldiers from Jingzhou to stop the Jiangdong Army's offensive.

This series of battles forced Gao Zhong to re-examine the strength of the Jiangdong Army. At this point, he remembered what his adoptive father had confessed: Jiangdong Army has many cards that have not been revealed, so it must not be taken lightly.

In fact, the Jiangdong Army did have a lot of cards, otherwise Zhou Yu would not have dared to divide his troops into multiple groups to take the initiative to attack in such a situation.

A few days later, the Changsha Army outside Guiyang City ushered in the second batch of grain and grass escorts. Huang Zhong immediately let the baggage team bypass the enemy's city to show off in order to suppress the morale of the enemy.

According to the plan, there are two more batches of grain and grass, and Ma Dai will ensure that they will be delivered. In this way, the Changsha army can rely on these grains and grass for a month. The situation is very unfavorable to the defenders in Chengnei.

"Unexpectedly, my plan to sneak attack on the enemy's logistics team would be seen through so quickly. It seems that I have underestimated the enemy's general. Ma Dai is already difficult to deal with, and with the addition of an elderly Huang Zhong, I am not alone. I can resist it."

Today, when the Changsha army was showing off their power, they tied the captured white-eared elite soldiers to the grain trucks and showed them to the defenders in the city. Others may not be clear about it, but as the leader of the white-eared elite soldiers, Chen Dao naturally knows those soldiers. captive.

This also means that the five hundred elites he sent out may be more or less fortunate, and there is no other shortcut except for sticking to it. As for the reinforcements, it may be even more distant.

"Don't rush to attack for the time being. Our army is not superior in numbers. Although the enemy army is panicking at this moment, it is because the pressure from the outside world is not yet approaching.

Once our army attacks, it is possible that the enemy army will unite temporarily, and the situation will be bad at that time. Chen Daonai is a good general, and now we will fight with him for logistics and be more patient. "

Huang Zhong summoned the lieutenant general and issued an order. The city in front of him may not be as good as Changsha, but if he really wants to attack by force, he will definitely not lose. Huang Zhong doesn't want to do such a stupid thing.

"In addition, sent scouts to investigate many times, especially to keep an eye on Wuling and Lingling for me. Once there are signs of a large number of soldiers coming, be sure to come and report."

While Chen Dao was waiting for reinforcements, Huang Zhong was also paying attention to the enemy's reinforcements. After all, he didn't have enough manpower on his side. If he was not careful, he might be attacked from both sides.

Two days later, Ma Dai escorted the last batch of food and grass back, and the morale of the Changsha army soared. Under such circumstances, Huang Zhong began a tentative attack, trying to find out the situation of the enemy.

"Two gentlemen, the road is rough, and the soldiers are still able to survive the road for several days, but I don't know if the two gentlemen are okay?"

On the road, Pang Rou rode his horse to catch up with Mu Fu and Xu Shu. A thousand cavalry slaves acted as the vanguard to clear the way.

"The general was joking. It's just a quick journey. It's not a serious problem. It's just that it will take a long time to get there."

Mufu looked ahead. According to the current marching speed, the forward cavalry had already gone away, and the elite infantry behind could still keep up, but the last supply troop and the young and strong peasants were far behind.

"Yuan Zhi, General Gongsun gave us the mission to go south as soon as possible to assist General Han Sheng to take Guiyang, but I think that if the supervisor knows, he must want us to take the opportunity to pacify Jingnan.

Time waits for no one. Right now, the battle in Guiyang is related to the entire battle situation in Jingnan, and there is no delay. General Han Sheng's troops are insufficient, so we must rush there as soon as possible. "

"I understand, but the army has not yet moved, and the food and grass go first. Our army can't act too hastily, so let's do it as you and I discussed before. You and General Pang will lead [-] cavalry slaves and [-] elites, and go ahead with light clothes. Let's go, I'm leading the follow-up soldiers and horses to rush over as soon as possible.

Although it is dangerous to divide the troops at this moment, the enemy's attention is on Guiyang, so nothing major will happen.Remember, attacking the heart is the first priority, our task is to take down the entire Jingnan, it is said that Sima Yi is also there, you must be careful when you go here. "

"Don't worry, I've heard my lord mention this Sima Yi many times before, and this time I'm going to experience it. General Pang, if you dare to go ahead with me, you can choose seven hundred cavalry now."

"Haha, it's just what I want. How long do you have to wait for such a slow march? How about it, Mr. Xu, I will leave a lieutenant general and twenty soldiers to help you command the three hundred cavalry slaves. If they don't Be obedient, just kill him directly, don't be polite."

For military achievements, Pang Rou is extremely eager, this is the opportunity he won for him from his younger brother Pang De.Before leaving Jiangxia, Pang De once told him that whether the Pang family can become a family of generals depends on whether their generation works hard enough.

That's why he tried his best to cooperate with Xu and Mu. He would not be polite if some cavaliers who didn't have good eyesight delayed his business.

Chapter 798

Relying on the soldiers and horses in his hands, together with the orders of Liu Bei's wife, Mrs. Mi, Chen Dao temporarily deterred Xiaoxiao in the city. Those people with ulterior motives are afraid that they will make trouble again soon.

In fact, Chen Dao failed to convince the other generals in the city.Of course, there is nothing to say about his ability and loyalty, but how many of the generals in the city are still willing to serve Liu Bei's son?

They followed Liu Bei, and what they were looking for was nothing more than a bright future. If Chen Dao blocked their way of seeking wealth, I am afraid that these people would not make Chen Dao feel better.

"There are still 2 troops in the city, and if they can all be used, they will be enough to resist the enemy, but the enemy's reinforcements must be on their way.

If our army wants to truly win, we must ask for help from outside. The closest to this place is Lingling, which is guarded by General Mi Fang, and there are [-] troops there.

In addition, there are [-] soldiers in Wuling. As long as the reinforcements from these two places can arrive, it will not be difficult to defeat the enemy. Everyone, this is the situation right now, what do you want to say? "

In the big tent, Chen Dao summoned the generals in the city and explained his thoughts. Of course, he probably listened to most of the words. After all, everyone in the tent is not of the same mind.

"Since this is the case, then we will stick to our defense and ask for help. As soon as our reinforcements arrive, the Changsha Army will collapse, and maybe we can win a big battle by then."

Someone started to speak. In such a short period of time, Chen Dao has jumped from a personal general to the city's coach. Most of the others are not convinced, but now that he is in charge of the military, no one dares to disobey him. After all, this guy The black hand is also ruthless enough.

"Okay, since you all have no objections, then I will make a request, and I hope that you will abide by your duties and don't spend any time in it, otherwise, the lord will spare you, but I will never forgive you."

In today's meeting, Chen Dao mainly wanted to remind these people, so that they would know what to do and what not to do. Not good looking.

After the meeting, Chen Dao went to report the military situation to Madam Mi again, and at the same time asked Madam Mi to write a letter of plea for help. After all, Mi Shang and Mi Fang are both his elder brothers, and they are both in Lingling now. Abandon the rescue.

More than 100 miles to the north of Guiyang, a group of soldiers and horses were setting up camp. Pang Rou, Mufu and his party rushed to the destination, but they had to come up with a charter for what to do next.

"After marching for another day and a half, we will be able to join General Huang Zhong, General Pang, and we can start our operations now. Our army is small, and if the enemy finds out the truth, it will inevitably be taken advantage of by the enemy. Therefore, my The idea is that our army can pretend to be [-] troops and advance to intimidate the enemy."

"A 2000-strong army? This, this is difficult. Our army came here lightly, with only 4000 men, and there are no young and strong civilians in the army. If it is justified to pretend to have 1 men and horses, this [-] men are really impossible. Here we go."

"Hehe, we can't do it, so we can find helpers. In the early morning of tomorrow, the general can send a team of personal soldiers to set off first. After contacting General Huang and General Ma, let them dispatch [-] soldiers to secretly return to join us in batches.

In this way, our army can increase to 5000 soldiers, and it should not be difficult to pretend to be [-] by then.General Ma used cavalry to block the main road, and it was not so easy for the enemy scouts to check out our army. "

"Haha, that's a good way. I'll make arrangements now. Bo Zhan is smart enough to handle this matter. When the time comes when I arrive with more than ten thousand soldiers, I won't be able to scare the city's defenders to death."

This trick Mu Fu came up with is not unusual, I think Dong Zhuo used it when he came to Beijing, and it was even more exaggerated than this, so it is really not difficult to pretend to be more than ten thousand people.

Two days later, the news of the arrival of more than ten thousand reinforcements from the Changsha Army spread throughout the city, and Chen Dao was also frightened with a sad face.

In Huang Zhong's command tent, all the generals and schools have gathered. The arrival of Mu Fu and Pang Rou can be regarded as the official start of this tough battle. Although there are not many reinforcements, it is of great help to boost the momentum.

"Our army has fought against the enemy several times, including field battles and siege battles. The two sides can only be regarded as evenly matched. This Chen Dao's ability is extraordinary. According to previous estimates, he can hold on for at least three months. Even after our reinforcements arrive It may take a month to win the attack."

After Huang Zhong introduced the situation here, the generals started a discussion, and Mu Fu even asked a lot about the situation of the enemy and us. After half a stick of incense, Mu Fu had a rough plan in mind.

"I think the task given to us by the lord must be to pacify Jingnan, so we can't delay in Guiyang for too long. According to the information I have summarized, Chen Dao is indeed difficult to deal with, but it is not without flaws."

"What are your plans, sir?"

"It's not a plan. This Chen Dao, the Lord has mentioned him many times. This person is capable and loyal, but he is a bit pedantic. We can start from this point.

The other guards in the city are not of the same mind as him. We can send agents to spread rumors, saying that Chen Dao wants to hold the young master hostage, occupy the mistress, and occupy Jingnan.

At the same time, our army can shout flags outside the city to create the illusion that our lord is willing to give Chen Dao high-ranking officials generous salaries and persuade him to surrender. In this way, there will be a gap between Chen Dao and other generals.
