Chapter 795 Moving forward

   "General, there are Cao bandits coming to help from Jingyang City!"

  In the tent of the Han Army Commander under Wushi City, Guan Ji received an urgent report, and deliberately raised her sword eyebrows with a special smile on her face:

   "Sure enough! Did Cao thief come from Jingyang City or Linjing City, did you find out?"

  The Han army approached Wuzhi City with superior forces, and naturally controlled the surrounding area of ​​Wuzhi City.

  Especially Jingyang in the south is the subject of strict monitoring.

  As soon as the Jingyang garrison left the city, the sentry of the Han army passed the news to Guan Ji as quickly as possible:

   "General Hui, we set off from Jingyang City. The main force of Cao's bandits on the Linjing side has not moved yet."

  Ju Fu was more cautious and prudent: "Thieves Cao did this, will there be other tricks? Otherwise, if we break through Wuzhi City, then Jingyang City will be destroyed by itself?"

  This Jingyang guard...could it be the espionage of the Junhou faction among the Cao thieves?

  Zhang Ni is full of fighting spirit, not afraid at all:

   "Even if all the Cao thieves in Anding County are here, we may not be incapable of fighting, unless the Cao thieves have a large army coming from Chang'an."

   "The Cao thieves from Linjing didn't come over, which shows that they don't take us seriously." Guan Ji stared at the sand table, "The Cao thieves from Chang'an are even less likely to come."

   "It must be that Junhou has already arrived at Yuezhi City, so the Cao thief believes that we are just suspicious soldiers, and they must do their best to guard against Junhou!"

  Guan Ji said in a firm tone.

  This time the prince is using his body as bait. Although there is a cavalry battalion from the school captain's mansion and a large number of Hu cavalry, risks always exist.

  In order to minimize the risk, the staff department deduced various plans on the sand table day and night.

  Guan Ji knows the most likely situations.

   "Thinking about the time, Junhou should have arrived at Yuezhi City. Only in this way can we explain why the Cao bandits in Jingyang City dared to reinforce Wushi City."

  It seems that Cao Zeiguo, as expected, has determined that Junhou is the main force leading the Xiaowei Mansion.

   "General, do you want to wait for the news from Junhou?"

  Sentence help asked.

   "No need." Guan Ji shook her head, her gaze was firm, "Where's Yang Wanwan?"

  Yang Wanwan, who led two thousand cavalry and served as scout captain, hurried in, "General, are you looking for me?"

   "Except for paying attention to the Cao bandits in the direction of Linjing, take back all the cavalry and be ready to obey orders at any time."

  Guan Ji looked at Yang Wanwan, "If the Cao bandits in Wuzhi City are defeated, you will be responsible for leading the cavalry to kill them and drive the defeated troops to Jingyang City."

  Yang Wanwan cupped his fists together: "No."

   "General Ju!"

   "The end is here!"

   "For this attack, Wudang Battalion is the main force. When the Cao bandits from Jingyang enter the city tomorrow, the city walls will be broken. Today, let all the soldiers in the battalion rest well and make all preparations."

   "No!"

   "General Zhang."

   "The end is here!"

   "Cao bandits in Guanzhong, there are many cavalry troops. If they want to fight back desperately, then it will be up to Modaoying."

"clear!"

   "Okay, let's go down and get ready."

  The defenders of Wuzhi City waited for a few days, but they did not receive the army from Linjing, but the reinforcements from Jingyang.

  The Jingyang reinforcements entered the city at dawn. Although they didn’t expect to hide it from the Shu captives on the opposite side, at least they could make the other party confused about how many reinforcements came from their side.

   Unexpectedly, when the general of Jingyang saw the general of Wuzhi City, he was taken aback: "Why are you like this, sir?"

  But seeing the other party looked haggard, his eyes were dull, and his footsteps were floating, as if he had exhausted his energy.

  Hearing the Jingyang guard ask this question, the Wuzhi City guard almost burst into tears:

   "The Shu captives... The Shu captives are in a hurry to attack the city. I have been living in the thunder for the past few days, my mind is shaken, I can't rest, and my energy is exhausted."

  The thunder chariots of the Shu captives threw stones like thunder, and no matter the generals or soldiers in the city, they had never seen such powerful thunder chariots.

  The only thing I can rely on is the city wall.

   Listening to the sound of dense thunder every day, from time to time there are stones thrown off the side, smashing several unlucky guys into mud.

  At the scene of the tragedy, it was impossible to tell where the arms were and where the legs were.

   Not to mention that the only city wall that can be relied on trembles every day, as if it will collapse in the next moment.

  In this case, there has been a small number of things that have happened.

   One can imagine how much pressure the soldiers in the city are under.

  If it weren’t for the fact that the Shu captives hadn’t formally attacked the city, and they still had hope for reinforcements from Linjing, who would have thought of defending the city?

  It's just that outsiders don't know the suffering of the soldiers guarding the city in just a few days?

  But seeing Jingyang guard heard the words, he was very surprised and said:

   "The Shu captives outside the city are just suspicious soldiers pretending to be powerful. Can An Neng push Wuzhi City to this point?"

  Hearing these words, the Wuzhi city guard's eyes almost bulged out:

   "Suspicious soldiers? In an urgent letter sent to Linjing, it was clearly stated that they were the elite Shu captives. How could there be any doubts about soldiers?"

   "It's what the prefect said."

   As General Hu spoke, he handed over a military letter.

  The guard of Wuzhi City hurriedly took it and opened it to have a look.

   "Looking for a fighter plane to wipe out the Shu captives under the city?!"

  When the Wuzhi city guard saw this sentence, his eyes became even more bulging!

  He looked at the official document in his hand, and then at the guard of Jingyang City, his face was full of absurdity:

   "General Hu came here this time, didn't he get intercepted by Shu captives?"

  The guard of Jingyang City is a member of Hu Zun's clan. Hearing this, he laughed and said, "The Shu captives are no more than suspicious soldiers. How dare you intercept someone?"

  Looking at the other party's confident yet indifferent attitude, the guard of Wuzhi City felt that he had been insulted.

  Under the urgent situation, regardless of the opponent's status being higher than his own, he directly led the guard of Jingyang City to the city wall, pointed at the crumbling city wall, and said angrily:

   "The siege equipment of the Shu captives was like thunder coming from the sky. It roared endlessly. Hearing it suddenly made people's liver and gallbladder tearful. Most of the soldiers in the city were timid."

   Then he dragged Hu Shoujiang to a temporarily safe city wall, pointed down from a distance and said:

   "If there are really suspected soldiers from Shu outside the city, then someone has never seen such an elite suspect! Are the captives really invincible?"

   As soon as the voice fell, there was only the sound of breaking through the sky, and a thunderbolt came down from the blue sky.

  The guard of Jingyang city trembled in shock.

   Then, there was a series of roaring sounds—just after dawn, a new siege began again.

  Looking at the black stones constantly falling towards this side, feeling the constant trembling under his feet, General Hu Shou of Jingyang felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

  Suddenly, there was only a bang, and after a while, a soldier ran over in panic:

   "General, the city wall in the northwest corner has collapsed!"

  The guard of Wushi City's face turned pale, and then he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Collapsed? Finally collapsed?"

  The guard of Jingyang City bravely stretched out his head, looked at the flying stones in midair, and the frightening sound of piercing through the air, then shivered and retracted his head:

   "The thunderbolt chariots of the Shu captives are so powerful? Why did they break the city today?"

  Standing on the city wall made of loess, and thinking about the scene he saw just now, even if he was killed, he would not believe that Wuzhi City could last until today before it collapsed.

   It’s better if you break it one day earlier, I won’t lead the army here!

  Looking at this guy who became the guard of Jingyang City because of the relationship with the Hu family, the guard of Wushi City just wanted to say: I had a great time playing with your mother on the couch!

  Although he noticed that the other party gave him caring and mentally retarded eyes, General Jingyang Hu was not in the mood to care about it, because he thought of a terrible possibility:

   "Is it possible that the Shu captives did it on purpose?"

   Caring for mentally handicapped eyes +1.

   "But, but how does Feng Wenhe explain?"

   "Feng Wenhe?"

   "Feng Mingwen..."

   "Isn't it just Xiao Wenhe?"

   Then caring for mentally handicapped eyes +2.

  The last stone hit the city wall, raising a large cloud of dust, and the Han army below the city began to line up on the opposite side of the collapsed wall, apparently preparing to attack the city.

  Although they knew that everyone in Anding County had been deceived by Xiao Wenhe, but at the critical moment of life and death, the two guards of Wuzhi City still had to resist.

   What if the meeting is really like General Xiahou and Taishou Hu thought, it is a suspected soldier of the Shu captives?

   Then the Wei soldiers from the original Wuzhi City were hit head-on by a rain of arrows from the Wudang Camp, and they were scattered within a few blows.

  In the past few days, they have been tortured by the roar to the point of nervous breakdown, and their morale is quite low.

  With blood, no mana, no status, and skills haven’t been upgraded yet, how can you be an opponent with full blood and mana?

   However, when the reinforcements from Jingyang City arrived for the first time, they still mistakenly thought that the Shu captives on the opposite side were just suspicious soldiers.

  General Hu, the leader, did not dare to explain to his subordinates, otherwise the morale might bottom out all of a sudden.

   It's just that the reinforcements from Jingyang just arrived on the road, and they haven't had a rest for a while to recover, let alone have time to deploy their defenses.

  General Hu anxiously drove the soldiers to the gap, and then found that the defenders of Wuzhi City in front were being chased by the Han army like pigs and sheep, fleeing in a swarm.

  The Jingyang reinforcements, who didn't even have a formation, were dispersed by their own rout.

  General Hu was stunned. He never imagined that the soldiers of Wuzhi City were so vulnerable.

   "I can't hold it anymore. This Shu captive is very cunning. He just took advantage of this moment to break the city. General, run away!"

  The guard of Wuzhi City appeared from nowhere, holding General Hu with a pale face, and urged him.

  General Hu looked blankly at the guard of Wuzhi City, and asked blankly: "How is your mother?"

   "Very cool..."

  Then the two of them just stared at each other like this, and a feeling of confusion and embarrassment permeated between them: Why are you, what am I thinking in my heart?

   "General, please retreat quickly, we can't hold on here anymore!"

  The personal guards cleverly broke the staring eyes of the two, and immediately protected them from rushing away from the chaotic soldiers, and retreated together.

   As soon as Shuai Qi retreated, the army was defeated like a mountain.

  The Han army encountered only a little symbolic resistance at the gap in the city wall, and then there was no obstacle along the way.

   I have to say that the timing Guan Ji chose is really wonderful.

  It's like two people fighting, taking advantage of the node where the opponent's old strength has just exhausted and new strength has not yet been born, gently point to the opponent's vital points.

   Before he exerted much force, the opponent fell down suddenly.

  Modaoying didn't come in handy, which made Zhang Ni a little regretful.

  General Hu of Jingyang City entered the city before dawn, and when he came, he wanted to wait for an opportunity to defeat the Shu captives.

  Tiantian was kicked out of the city by the Shu captives just after dawn, and he didn't even have a mouthful of hot food.

  He was escorted out of the city by the guards in a daze, and subconsciously looked back: I am... Why are all the soldiers gone?

   "Quick, quick, quick! Help the general get on his horse, and take advantage of the fact that the Shu captives are not encircled, we will go straight back to Jingyang along the Jing River!"

  The captain of the personal guard said anxiously.

  After the Shu captives broke the city, they must first pacify the city, and they may not notice that the general has withdrawn from the city.

  Wuzhi City and Jingyang City are not too far away, and the road beside Jingshui is easy to walk. As long as you ride a horse, you can return to Jingyang City very quickly.

   "So what if we go back? Jingyang is already an empty city..."

  General Hu's eyes were dull, and he muttered to himself.

   Seeing that his general had lost his mind, the captain of the personal guard didn't care about being rude, so he ordered everyone to help his general onto the horse, and fled south in a panic.

   Fortunately, the north and east of Anding County are surrounded by Hudi, and there is no shortage of horses. The mounts of their group are even carefully selected good horses.

   Without sparing any horse power, it runs quite fast.

  Don't say that General Hu didn't know why he left all the soldiers in Jingyang City in Wuzhi City.

  Even Guan Ji was a little caught off guard when she broke the city too smoothly.

  After learning that the Wei army on the opposite side was about to collapse, Guan Ji's face changed slightly:

   "Come on!"

   "General!"

   "Hurry up and take my warrant and pass it on to General Yang, let him drive the rout to Jingyang City, and go to the city with Cao's bandits' flag and drums to persuade him to surrender!"

   "No!"

  She felt a little remorseful in her heart. She knew that the Cao thief was so unbeatable, so she shouldn't have planned to drive away the rout and attack Jingyang City.

  Thinking of this, she immediately ordered: "Let General Zhang and General Ju come over immediately."

  The sporadic battles in the city have come to an end, Zhang Ni and Ju Fu returned to the handsome camp happily:

   "General, our army suffered very little damage in this battle, and most of the Jingyang bandit army was left behind. It can be described as a great victory!"

  Unexpectedly, Guan Ji looked serious: "Has the thief been caught?"

   "General, I haven't been caught yet. I heard that just after the city was broken, the commander-in-chief of the bandit army retreated, and he disappeared afterwards. I heard that the bandit general fled south earlier."

   "Then hurry up!"

  Guan Ji said sternly, "I have ordered General Yang to lead the cavalry to set off first."

   "Both of you, immediately follow with the whole army and rush to Jingyang. Don't let the thief have the opportunity to regroup and defeat the army in Jingyang!"

   "Remember, Jingyang City must be taken down immediately, so that Linjing City, the governor of Anding County, can be deterred and supported by the prince!"

  Zhang Ni and Ju Fu were all shocked, they clasped their fists together: "The last general takes orders!"

  Modaoying and Wudangying had rested for several days, and they didn't use much effort when attacking the city, so their status was always full.

  The shrill whistle sounded, followed by the thumping call, which made many soldiers think that the Cao bandits were attacking again.

   "Emergency assembly, bring three days of dry food, and leave Jingyang immediately!"

   "Depart from Jingyang!"

  The exact same military orders were repeated continuously and reached the ears of Han soldiers in Modao Camp and Wudang Camp.

  The rigorous training in the weekdays was well reflected at this time, and the soldiers of the two battalions were assembled soon.

"Set off!"

  Guan Ji drew her sword and shouted loudly, and led the Han army to rush along the Jingshui to Jingyang.

   Only the engineering battalion and some logistics were left to clean up the mess in Wushi City.
