Chapter 315 Battle at Street Pavilion (6)
In Jieting City, Yang Qing also received a report from Guan Xing and Wang Ping about today's war. He thought that Guan Xing and Wang Ping were indeed famous generals. Not only was they extremely stable in defense, but they also had beautiful counterattack methods and understood the exquisiteness of defensive operations.
"They fought well, but they were a little bit unreasonable in their own battle today."
After putting down the report in his hand, Yang Qing shook his head and smiled, thinking that as long as the army can perform well today, he will not repeat the mistakes of Ma Su in his previous life.
In history, Ma Su refused to guard the mountain as soon as he started fighting, and Zhang He cut off the road to get water. Then Zhang Heyi attacked, and Ma Su could not resist, which led to the soldiers being defeated and fled, causing a disaster.
But the situation is completely different now. Not to mention whether the water source exists or not, Guan Xing's personal ability to lead troops is far higher than that of Ma Su, a pure civil servant. The military orders given by Ma Su made the soldiers at a loss, but Guan Xing's command was well organized and well organized.
Moreover, the Han army on the Nanshan Mountain was the Tiger Infantry Army led by Guan Xing for several years, and his control over the army was far beyond what Ma Su, a first-time soldier, could compare.
In addition, Guan Xing was very skilled in martial arts, was extremely brave, and led the team to fight. He was much stronger than Ma Su, a literati, in motivating the morale of soldiers. Therefore, it was natural that Guan Xing was able to repel the Wei army and defend Nanshan today.
After understanding these, Yang Qing became more confident in guarding Jieting. He immediately picked up his pen to write down all the battle situation today, and then ordered someone to quickly send it to Zhuge Liang for review.
Announcement of military information was something that Yang Qing and Zhuge Liang had already agreed on. The safety of Jieting was related to the entire battle situation. Although Zhuge Liang was very relieved of Yang Qingguan Xing and Wang Ping, he was cautious by nature and had to always pay attention to the war in Jieting to prevent any changes.
It was already dark, and the Han army on the Nanshan Mountain had just eaten dinner, so Guan Xing had a full meal. The daytime fighting consumed most of his energy and he had to replenish it.
After dinner, Guan Xing did not rest, but led his personal guards to inspect the guard posts in front of and behind the mountain. This was a habit he had always maintained since he joined the army and never stopped every day. Only by patrolling the guard posts once could he rest with confidence.
When I arrived at the north slope, I happened to see a line of torches coming up from the foot of the mountain. This was a team ordered to go to the foot of the mountain to fetch water.
"How much water has been collected?" Guan Xing asked Chief Qu, who was leading the team.
"Go back to the general, brothers will be able to fill all the buckets with one more trip."
Guan Xing nodded and said, "Okay, you go."
After the chief Qu led the soldiers to walk down the mountain with empty wooden barrels, Guan Xing also looked at Wang Ping camp with the fire at the foot of the mountain, and thought to himself: "The water source is the foundation of our army's survival, and there must be no mistake. Although General Wang Ping successfully defended the water source today, it is difficult to ensure that the Wei army will not attack here tomorrow. Although General Wang Ping is good at defending, he has few soldiers after all, so he cannot do it. He has to remind his brother to increase the strength of the mountain."
"Come." Thinking of this, Guan Xing quickly called his left and right.
In Jieting City, Yang Qing, Guliza, Badi and others will gather together to discuss tomorrow's combat deployment.
"Today, Zhang He is a test attack. Tomorrow he will change his tactics. Water source is a major flaw in our army. Tomorrow, Zhang He is very likely to attack General Zijun with all his strength. We have to guard against this matter." Yang Qing pointed at the Wang Ping camp marked on the map in front of him.
Guliza said: "What does the lord mean?"
"I want to send it to General Zijun again..."
Before he finished speaking, the personal soldiers outside the door suddenly came in and reported: "June, a messenger from General Guan on the mountain has arrived."
"Let him in."
Soon Guan Xing's personal soldiers entered the house, and Yang Qing asked, "What's wrong with General Guan?"
The personal soldier took out a sealed bamboo tube from his arms and handed it out: "Report to Junhou, General Guan has a letter here."
Zhou Xing stepped forward and took the test and then nodded to Yang Qing. Yang Qing took it and took it out and took it out. When he opened it, he found that it was Guan Xing who suggested increasing the strength of Wang Ping's troops.
"It seems that An Guo and I have come to think of each other." Yang Qing smiled in his heart.
Yang Qing said: "When you go back, tell your general, and you will say that I have this intention and reassure him."
"promise."
After Guan Xing's personal guard left, Yang Qing looked at Badi and said, "Badi, go and transfer a thousand soldiers to General Zijun's camp to strengthen the defense of water."
"As for the order." Buddy left after he was ordered.
Bang, bang, bang...
On the morning of the next day, the morning light was slightly dewed, and the Wei army's war drums were already ringing, and the sound was heard everywhere, deafening.
Zhang He stood in front of the army with his horse and whipped his whip. He looked firmly at the Han camp on the bank of the stream. After a few breaths, he pointed a long sword and shouted with a full breath: "Kill."
With a command, the Wei army divided into three groups to fight towards Nanshan, water sources, and small cities. Although the soldiers pointed to the front of the army as yesterday, the Wei army's strategy changed this time.
Among the Han generals, Wang Ping was the first person to know that the Wei army had changed its attack strategy, because six or seven thousand Wei cavalry appeared in his sight.
"The main force Zhang He is here!" Wang Ping looked at Zhang He's flag opposite and said softly.
A captain beside him frowned and said, "General, it seems that the puppet Wei army is determined to remove us in one fell swoop today."
Wang Ping nodded after hearing this, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, patted the captain's shoulder and smiled, "It's okay, Zhang He is coming just right, I'm about to let him taste the great things."
"Just general..."
Wang Ping understood what the captain was worried about, so he waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about the military force. Thanks to Yang Junhou's foresight, he added 1,000 troops to me overnight last night, and two thousand soldiers were in hand, so we were enough to defend the village."
"Yes." The captain was also inspired by fighting spirit and stopped talking.
More than 6,000 Wei and Han troops stopped their horses outside the range. Except for more than a thousand soldiers who were left behind to guard the horses in the back formation, the remaining five thousand Wei soldiers turned over and dismounted to prepare for infantry battles.
"Kill!" Zhang He didn't delay, and pointed a long sword and issued a military order to attack.
The five thousand Wei soldiers quickly divided into two square formations to attack from the south and east sides. The sword player was in front, followed by archers, and the spear player pressed down. The Wei soldiers slowly advanced their steps and their murderous intent soared into the sky.
However, although the Wei army was imposing, Wang Ping was not afraid at all. He was calm and calm and commanded. The soldiers were deeply infected when they saw the lord general so calm. They took the bow and arrow and pushed the crossbow machine in an orderly manner. Obviously, under the continuous victory, this Wudang Flying Army had gradually faded its childishness and became more and more powerful in the world.
The three Wei troops arrived suddenly, and Yang Qing and Guan Xing immediately realized the changes in the Wei army today. It was okay to say that Guan Xing was still the old opponent of yesterday. As long as you deal with it as usual, everyone's reactions became different on Yang Qing's side.
Yesterday, six or seven thousand Wei troops were coming, and everyone had no objection to Yicheng's defense, but today's invasion was half less than yesterday, and everyone's thoughts suddenly became alive.
"June, the main force of the Wei army went to General Wang Ping, and their side was under great pressure. There were only about 3,000 enemies outside the city. Our army should go out of the city to fight and quickly repel them, and then go to support General Wang Ping to win." Looking at the few soldiers outside the city, Buddy could no longer hold back and couldn't wait to go out of the city to kill the enemy, so he spoke to Yang Qing.
"No." Guliza opposed after hearing this: "June, although the Wei army outside the city is half less than yesterday, they are all elite cavalry. Most of our army is infantry. Once we leave the city and fight head-on, we may be in danger of defeat."
Buddy retorted: "I am not a flying army, all of whom are brave and good at fighting, and have been practicing for a long time, and are familiar with the battle formation. As long as we are arranged in a formation, even if the Wei army's elite cavalry cannot fight. Besides, there are only more than 3,000 cavalry outside the city, so what are you afraid of?"
Although Guliza is the young master of the Guli tribe, Badi still wants to argue with him clearly.
"Even if you form a formation to fight, the infantry can only fight against the enemy but not the enemy. Why bother to leave the city and work hard?" Guliza still insisted on his own opinion.
