Chapter 281 That's the case, let's attack the city
Jiangxia is the front line of defense in Jingzhou. On the straight-line distance between Jiangxia and Nanjun Jiangling and Xiangyang, there are beacon towers with early warning built every ten miles on the cliffs or beside the rivers. Send a warning message to Xiangyang Liu Biao quickly.
Then it is up to the messengers to convey the specific information. Through the galloping roads connecting several cities and the fast horse messengers at the post stations, it will take about a day to convey the specific information to Xiangyang.
But this speed is naturally not as fast as the beacon fire message, so before the messenger arrived, Liu Biao saw the beacon fire warning signal in Xiangyang and Jiangling, and made military preparations immediately. The next step is to wait for specific news to send troops, and then Or take the initiative to send troops depending on the situation.
On the side of Shaxian County where Su Fei and Gan Ning were stationed, they could naturally see the beacon fire being lit from Xiling City to Jiangling. It can be said that the two of them also have a beacon tower that continues to send messages.
Seeing this kind of beacon fire warning, the two of them will naturally rush back to support the first time.
"Fenghuo? I see, Wei really thought that Huang Zu could use flying pigeons to send letters! From this point of view, Jiangling and Xiangyang should have received warnings, well, military adviser, according to Wei, we don't need to surround the spots to send reinforcements." Well, we can take down Huang Zu as quickly as possible, and then deal with the reinforcements from Jiangling and Xiangyang with peace of mind! Hmph, Wei can know the location of the two reinforcements by virtue of his innate supernatural powers, but the other party may not know our side In such a situation, we never expected that we would be able to take down Xiling City quickly!"
Zhu Wei knew that Jiang Xia didn't have any means of flying pigeons to send letters, so he had confidence in his heart. Since he couldn't send messages quickly, the speed of information transmission in these years is actually very lagging. Zhu Wei can take Xiling as fast as possible. After the city, go to deal with the reinforcements from Jiangling and Xiangyang.
As long as Zhu Wei attacked the city quickly, no one would have thought that Zhu Wei could take down Xiling City, which was heavily defended by Huang Zu, so quickly. In this way, Zhu Wei could deal with the possible reinforcements from Jiangling and Xiangyang without any worries.
"Oh, that's fine too! Then, my lord, let's attack the city today! All the generals obey orders and act according to the arrangement just now!"
After hearing Zhu Wei's words, Wang Yuyan didn't have any objections. She simply stood up and began to issue military orders in the name of military division generals, ordering Pang Yan, Tai Shici and other generals to carry out the attack on Xiling City according to the previous method.
In this way, Zhu Wei's entire army was quickly mobilized, and groups of soldiers set off from land and water to the place arranged by Wang Yuyan.
At this time, Zhu Wei's water and land camp was about five miles away from Xiling City. Since Pang Yan, Tai Shici, and Ling Cao joined the water and land army outside Xiling City, they have been looking for a place to set up camp here. However, he did not make any moves towards Xiling City.
But Huang Zu didn't dare to slack off, closed the four gates of Xiling City, and sent people to patrol the city walls day and night, and at the same time sent many scouts to Zhu Wei's land and water battalion to monitor the situation.
However, after Zhu Wei led his troops to the land and water camp, he quickly discovered the existence of these scouts with the help of the special function of the Three Kingdoms game map that would display a red warning light on hostile people.
So Zhu Wei sent out search teams one after another to capture and drive away all Huang Zu's scouts hiding around. Therefore, Huang Zu no longer dared to continue sending people around Zhu Wei's camp.
This is simply a money-losing business as much as you come and as much as you give away.
In the end, all Huang Zu could do was guard Xiling City, but he couldn't detect the movement in Zhu Wei's camp.
On the other hand, Zhu Wei set up scouts in all directions of Xiling City to closely monitor every move of Xiling City, and even found a high ground to secretly spy on the situation in Xiling City.
However, Xiling City is also protected by a wide moat. The city wall is as high as six stories. The defensive power of the city is pretty good. At the same time, you can also watch from a distance from the city gate tower facing Zhu Wei's water and land camp. I saw some changes in the situation of the Zhuwei Army Camp near Xiling City.
So Huang Zu could roughly see some movement in Zhu Weijun.
To be honest, the more Zhu Wei didn't attack the city, the more anxious Huang Zu felt, because he didn't know what Zhu Wei's plan was, and he couldn't find out the changes in the military situation of Zhu Wei's barracks, so he could only passively wait for Zhu Wei's army to attack the city.
In Xiling City, Huang Zu divided 7000 soldiers and horses to guard the four city gates, and then gathered the remaining 1 soldiers and horses and more than [-] young men who were drawn, ready to support the various city gates at any time to meet Zhu Wei's attack. Siege.
But there are only those who can be thieves for a thousand days, not those who can guard against thieves for a thousand days.
Huang Zu was worried that his nerves were tense, but Zhu Wei deliberately recharged his energy. When his side relaxed, Zhu Wei suddenly attacked the city, and that would be a big crisis.
So these two days, Huang Zu's temper was very bad, and he often reprimanded those around him who made mistakes. Even Huang Zu's son, Huang She, didn't dare to show his face in front of Huang Zu casually, otherwise he would definitely be killed again because he was not stationed in Guizhou. The Snake Gorge water camp lost the defense line on the river for nothing, and was scolded by Huang Zu angrily.
Around noon on the third day after Zhu Wei's army arrived in the south of Xiling City, the soldiers of Huang Zu's defense on the city wall finally sent Huang Zu a message that Zhu Wei's army had moved, and it seemed that they were preparing to attack the city.
So Huang Zu immediately went to the barracks in Xiling City to gather troops to point out the generals, waiting to confirm the direction of Zhu Wei's attack at any time, and then led the troops to resist.
It was around 196 o'clock in the afternoon on April [-], [-] AD. This season is a season of bright and beautiful spring. The grass and trees are also in spring inside and outside Xiling City. This should have been a good time for spring outings.
But under this bright spring, the south gate of Xiling City is full of drums beating, and the evil spirit is strong. It seems that a bloody battle to attack the city will start soon.
This time attacking Xiling City, Zhu Wei naturally adopted the strategy of advancing both land and water.
He personally set up the handsome flag to attract Huang Zu's attention at the south gate of Xiling City, and then let Pang Yan and Tai Shici take a boat from Xiashui to the water gate of Xiling County, commanding [-] crossbowmen and [-] knives respectively. The shield hand and six thousand crossbowmen, after blasting the water gate, can be used as the main force to attack Xiling County.
On the other hand, Zhu Wei only brought four thousand crossbowmen, three thousand white feather guards, and five thousand auxiliary soldiers, and set up a so-called siege formation outside the south gate of Xiling City.
Now there are only Mu Lan, Wang Yuyan, Chen Jiu, and Zhang Shuo beside Zhu Wei. As for Gan Ning, Su Fei, Ling Cao, and Ma Zhong, under Wang Yuyan's arrangement, they found another place to ambush.
Even if Zhu Wei dispatched the whole army now, he would not be able to completely block the siege of Xiling City. Therefore, after Pang Yan and Tai Shici broke the water gate of Xiling City, Huang Zu might escape through the north and west gates of Xiling City. out.
Then only by ambush to stop the robbery, and then lead troops to chase and kill, is it possible to win Huang Zu in a single battle.
Leaving aside these arrangements for the time being, it is only said that after Zhu Wei set up a battle at the south gate of Xiling City, Huang Zu also brought three thousand soldiers and five thousand young men to the south gate for reinforcements, and then went to the south gate of the city. Huang Zu's handsome flag was also erected...
