Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 361 Jing Jun goes north
The Jingzhou army was led by Kuai Yue, and there was also general Wen Pin. They went all the way north, and several counties that were still on the back burner watched the wind and surrendered.

The defenders who were originally loyal to Zhang Xiu also surrendered and fled. After all... If the military discipline of the Xiliang Army is really strong, how can Guanzhong still be like this?

Never expect that an army with poor military discipline can keep its integrity.

On the other side, Kuai Yue, a scholar, also worked closely with Wen Pin to pursue the escaping defenders. In the end, he really caught the tail!

Hundreds of stragglers, crushed by the army, instantly turned into hundreds of blood-stained soldiers and dozens of prisoners...

That's right, Kuai Yue wanted to rush all the way to bring lightning, and brought out almost all the cavalry in Jingzhou Prefecture—in order to defraud Kaiwan City, he coerced a part of the defeated army who surrendered.

Marching in a hurry, almost all the cavalrymen in Jingzhou Prefecture were dispatched. When they arrived near Wancheng, the news of the fall of Niyang County was not even too late!

Outside Wancheng, taking advantage of the darkness, five thousand main cavalry advanced slowly without making a sound or holding torches. Two miles ahead were hundreds of elite soldiers from Ji Zao, led by Wenpin, who were seizing the door. The only thing that can be changed into armor is acting... which requires special training, or veterans.

Because Jingzhou is the only way out of Sichuan from Yizhou after Hanzhong is completely blockaded, it is relatively easy for the Jingzhou government to buy Yunnan horses. The number and eliteness of the cavalry cannot be compared with those in the Central Plains and Hebei, but they are better than those before Zhang Xiu was conquered two years ago. There are many general mansions!
There were real prisoners of Xiliang among the troops that seized the door. Although they felt guilty when shouting, Lei Xu and Zhang Xian didn't detect any flaws. They came at night, so they couldn't recognize anything based on their appearance.

Supposedly, he had accomplished this step, and it was easy to deceive the two of them, but Zhang Chunhua saw through it!

Because Zhang Chunhua was a student of Jia Xu, and... it was rumored that he had some unclear relationship with Bai Tu, so before Zhang Xiu left, he told the two of them not to neglect.

And Lei Xu and Zhang Xian are also old friends, not to mention their respect for Jia Xu, just for the future... Ahem, this layer of ingredients makes them just flattering, and Zhang Xiu's reminder is actually completely unnecessary. , not only are they not negligent, they can also be even more unruly!
Even when the crisis was so serious, Zhang Chunhua asked to go to the tower, and both of them ordered no one to stop him.

Fortunately, Zhang Chunhua saw the flaw - each of these people looked very embarrassed, some were even being held or carried by their comrades around them, and blood stains could be seen on their bodies, but... But everyone has a lot of weapons in hand!

When Zhang Xian heard this, he wanted to say that they Xiliang men would not abandon their weapons when they retreated.

After all, the situation in Liangzhou is that they often have to face alien races. Once the army is defeated, they will probably have to wander around the enemy's sweep area for several days. Without weapons, even if they can run faster, their survival rate will be lower. !

Therefore, in this regard, the elites of Xiliang will not make the mistake of abandoning their armor.

However, Zhang Xian and Lei Xu thought about it for a while and understood that this only refers to a small number of elites. At most, [-]% of the garrison sent to various counties are elites, and the rest are recruits recruited locally...

So the two accepted the opinion of Zhang Chunhua, who looked very young and was still a woman. At this time, Jia Xu's identity as a student undoubtedly provided Zhang Chunhua with higher credibility!

After listening to Zhang Chunhua's persuasion, the two of them shouted to delay time and played tricks on each other. Following Zhang Chunhua's command, they arranged three rows of crossbowmen in the dark opposite the city gate, with countless people holding shields, guns, and bows on the two wings. .

After hundreds of fake defeated troops entered the city, they were illuminated by the lights near the city gate, while the three rows of crossbowmen a hundred steps away were completely in the dark, and at most they could see some vague silhouettes!
As soon as Wenpin entered the city, he found something wrong with the four torches - why were they all shining around the city gate?
"The enemy has entered the urn! Start the fire!" The generals who had been arranged around him shouted at this time.

As a result, Wenpin could barely hold his breath, but the captive captain had already shouted: "Wait! Two generals... I was forced!"

Hearing this, Lei Xu and Zhang Xian didn't know it was a fraud?

Directly ordered to release arrows - forced?Fuck your grandma for being forced...

Not to mention occupying the city gate, now only the vanguard to seize the gate is in the light, completely passively being shot at, and they can't even see where the enemy is in the darkness. Even the most elite, and the best prepared to fight for their lives, can't. Falling directly into panic.

Before the main force ambushed outside could rush under the city wall, most of the troops seizing the door had been reduced. Only a small part had retreated. Wenpin himself was almost trapped inside...

When Bai Tu was meeting with Jian Yong, the urgent news he received was mainly the news that the Jingzhou Army was heading north and that Wancheng was ready to defend!

For Wancheng, the casualties of this battle were small, but it reduced the vigor of the Jingzhou army. More importantly, with Wancheng's high walls and deep trenches, if a surprise attack fails, it will definitely not be possible to attack by force within ten months. achievement!

Although most of the elite members of the Wancheng Army were taken away by Zhang Xiu to fight, those who stayed behind only had more recruits and still had sufficient backbone generals at the grassroots level. As long as they kept their spirits up, they would not be incited to rebel from within or tricked into opening the city gates. There is no need for any famous general's strategy. Just "defend in a lonely city" by obeying the orders can take a long time.

Now Wancheng is not alone, not to mention the main force of the General's Mansion is not far from Xiangyang and Fancheng!

Moreover, the Wancheng army brought out with the Xiliang army as the backbone was innately immune to the court's righteousness in persuading them to surrender.

Zhang Xiu's tribe was inherited from Zhang Ji, and Zhang Ji, together with Li Jue and Guo Si, counterattacked Chang'an after Jia Xu offered advice.

If they trusted the imperial court, how could the Han Dynasty have fallen to this point?
After all, after Dong Zhuo's death, they only asked for a pardon but were not given. There was even a rumor among the people in Liangzhou that the court wanted to "execute all the people of Liangzhou"...

Whether this is a rumor or something Wang Yun said angrily is unknown, but... these generals of the Xiliang Army can be said to have deep "court ptsd", and Ma Teng and Han who now declare allegiance to the court Sui's new Xiliang army is completely different!

After Zhang Xiu invested in the General’s Mansion, especially after the Wancheng area was connected to Yangzhou along the north of Jiangxia and the south of Runan recently, they also gradually enjoyed the treatment of the army of the General’s Mansion, knowing that there would be support. How could it be possible to listen to Kuai Yue's lies?

As for why Bai Tu was sarcastic on the surface but secretly happy?
Firstly, since Wancheng was not defeated by a surprise attack, it is basically impossible to be defeated quickly; secondly... this is not like Liu Biao's style, but it seems that the nobles in Nanjun are already anxious!

In other words, the situation in Xiangyang may have changed greatly.

Well, it should be some linkage effect brought about by the improved living standards of the people in Xiangyang due to the humanitarian care of "Yangzhou sugar, meat and livestock are dumped at discounted prices, and various recipes are provided"...

Anyway, Bai Tu doesn’t have any bad intentions...
