Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 744 Target, Jiang Xia Army!

Under the stars, night fell.

Long Zhongshan.

The Modao Battalion has been guarded above the hill, the fifth battalion of the Jingping Second Army, the main force of the Mu Army, is stationed in Xihe on the north side of the mountain, the Shuofang Battalion of the First Jingping Army is stationed in Longzhong Village, and the main force of the three battalions Under protection, this is the safest place on the battlefield.

Standing in front of the camp gate, Mu Jing looked at the distant starry sky with vivid eyes: "There isn't even a single star, it's so gloomy, is it going to rain?"

"In Jingzhou, this kind of stuffy weather usually doesn't rain!"

Zhuge Xuan shook his head: "This is a kind of sweltering heat before entering the rainy season!"

"So, it is possible to enter the rainy season earlier this year!"

Mu Jing's pupils suddenly became brighter.

"It's possible!"

Zhuge Xuan nodded.

"The rainy season?"

The corner of Mu Jing's mouth raised: "It's a bit of a disadvantage to fight the siege of Xiangyang during the rainy season!"

"The people of Jingzhou have adapted to the rainy season in summer, but you may not have adapted!" Zhuge Xuan reminded: "Once the continuous rain starts, it may be endless, and there may not be conditions for war!"

"Yes!"

Mu Ding nodded: "They are familiar with a place and a climate, but we need time to adapt, which is not good for us. Most importantly, once the rainy season is too long and the river floods, we will be completely blind!"

"My lord, we also have a navy!"

Chen Gong came up from behind, and said in a deep voice: "Even if Jingzhou enters the rainy season early, don't worry too much about it!"

"Gongtai, take care of things!"

Mu Jing asked.

"It's been dealt with!" Chen Gong nodded: "The deployment of the three armies has been completed, and the siege can begin tomorrow!"

"well done!"

Mu Jing nodded in satisfaction: "Then start surrounding him for a few days tomorrow, I want to see the reaction in the city!"

"Also let the Flying Cavalry Battalion of the Violent Bear Army prepare!"

"Intercept the grain road in the eastern suburbs, and do not allow any grain to enter Xiangyang!"

He issued several orders in a row.

"promise!"

Chen Gong nodded.

"It's still a protracted battle!" Mu Jing looked at Xiangyang City in front of him with some displeasure.

This Liu Biao is difficult.

The Mu army is like a broken bamboo.

He is as stable as Mount Tai.

The Mu army was forced to die here. If the strategic deployment of the Mu army is followed, a quick battle is the best way, but the Jingzhou army is obviously stronger than the Mu army, but it is a small fight, and there is no frontal attack at all. the meaning of.

........................

…………

The herdsmen began to besiege the city.

Although the strength of the Mu army is not strong, but their momentum is fierce, they blocked the western suburbs one after another, and pressed heavily on the western city. Then Jingping's first army went out of the northern suburbs and successfully took the northern suburbs, although their strength could not block the northern city gate. Yes, but it blocks the official road in the northern suburbs.

In Nancheng, it was much more relaxed. The main force of Jingping’s second army competed with Jiangxia’s army on the Han River, taking advantage of the opportunity to take down the territory on land, turning the southern suburbs into a battlefield, and no entry or exit was allowed.

At this time, Xiangyang City suddenly panicked.

"The shepherds besieged the city?"

"No one in Xiangyang dares to besiege and fight!"

"Could it be that Jingzhou Erlang can't even stop a mere shepherd thief?"

"If this shepherd thief attacks, what should we do!"

"If the shepherds break the city, wouldn't we be doomed!"

"Can this city still stay?"

Facing the siege of the Mu army, the people in the city don't know how to score good or bad points. They only know that someone has hit the door. One panicked and confused. Everyone's attention was attracted by the siege of the Mu army. Some of them were afraid. , Some people complained that gradually, more and more people lost trust in the State Shepherd's Mansion.

……

State Shepherd House.

"Siege?" Liu Biao shouted angrily, "They are so brave!"

How much courage is needed to besiege Xiangyang.

Even if the Mu army is strong, the Mu army is only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Why is there only a majestic city like Xiangyang, and the number of soldiers and horses in the city is more than twice that of the outside of the city?

"My lord, the last will fight!"

"My lord, how can I, my son from Jingzhou, accept such humiliation. Please allow me to lead my troops out of the city to fight to the death!"

There are not many generals who want to invite the battle, and all of them are full of fighting spirit.

The situation between the Mu army and the Jingzhou army is not very clear now. Although the Jingzhou army is retreating steadily, the main force of Jingzhou has been in Xiangyang City and has never fought with the Mu army. It is not certain whether they will win or lose.

But the Mu army was bold enough to divide the troops to besiege the city. This is to look down on Xiangyang City.

So all the generals were angry.

Including Wenpin.

"Lord!"

Wenpin bowed his head and begged for orders: "I would like to personally lead the army out of the city to fight and break the siege of the herdsmen!"

As long as they can defeat one side, they can break the siege of the Mu army.

"Don't be impatient!"

Although Liu Biao was also angry, he was quite calm at this moment, and said, "The Mu army seems to be besieging the city, but who knows what plots they have. The matter of leaving the city to fight needs a long-term plan!"

Although the generals were not angry, since Liu Biao had already spoken, there was nothing they could do.

"My lord, if things go on like this, I'm afraid it won't work!"

Kuai Liang said softly: "We need to turn passive into active!"

"how do you want to do it?"

"The herding army is strong in combat, and they will eventually suffer losses in head-to-head battles. However, their weakness is still in water warfare. I think we must control the waterways to force them out of the siege!"

"I'm afraid Huang Zu won't move!" Liu Biao narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

Huang Zu was a feudal vassal, sitting in Jiangxia, if he was unwilling to move, even if Liu Biao ordered it, he would not accept the orders of his generals, and Liu Biao would not be able to do anything to him.

Now the soldiers and horses outside are Jiang Xia's army.

"I believe Governor Huang will know the seriousness!"

"Okay, I'll give him an order!"

Liu Biao thought for a while and said in a deep voice.

An hour later, a military order was sent to the Jiangxia military camp in the southern suburbs.

The Jiangxia army's navy and infantry are about [-].

The navy is the main force, but there are also many infantry.

Huang Zu camped on the boat, when he saw the order from the State Shepherd's Mansion, his face was gloomy and cold: "You don't understand, but you want me to move, this is to consume the main force of a certain family, Liu Jingsheng Ah Liu Jingsheng, what a cruel heart!"

"My lord, I'm afraid that this is not only Liu Shijun's idea, but also the expectation of the whole Jingzhou!"

Counselor Su Fei cupped his hands and said: "Xiangyang seems to have a strong military force, but it has been repeatedly suppressed by the Mu army. From the Battle of Fancheng, the Battle of Deng County, to the Water Battle of Tanxi, and then the offensive and defensive battle of Xicheng, the bloody battle of Longzhong, after many battles, we Jingzhou has suffered a great loss, and the morale of Jingzhou soldiers is getting lower and lower, and now they are still besieged, and the city can only count on us!"

"Then how should I send troops?" Huang Zu narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Above the Han River, we still have an advantage!"

Su Fei said: "As long as we can eat two mouths of the bay, we can clean up the waterways in a radius of a hundred miles, drive out their navy, and they will be alone and helpless on land!"

"Mu Jun sailors are hard to deal with!" Huang Zu sighed: "I used to underestimate them, but now, I have to admit that it is definitely not easy for Mu Jun to rule the world. They are not as good as us, but they have a strong growth potential, and they can supplement their combat effectiveness in terms of ordnance. If I fight for a long time, I can defeat them, but I can't eat them all at once!"

"Eating them is indeed difficult, but defeating them is not difficult!"

Su Fei pointed to a place on the map: "There is a breakthrough here!"

"Xihe?"

Huang Zu narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Xihe River is a tributary of the Han River, flowing along the entire northern suburb of Xiangyang, mainly in the northeast direction of Longzhong.

................................................

A few days later, on Longzhong Mountain.

Mujing summoned the generals.

"We have besieged Xiangyang for a few days, but the city is more stable than we thought!" Mu Jing sighed and said, "Xiangyang is a big city, even if we surround them for a few months, they will be able to hold on. So we need to change our strategy!"

"Change strategy?"

The generals peek at each other.

"Next, we eat them!"

Mujing asked his subordinates to push out the map on the screen and point to a point, which was actually marked with a small flag of Jiangxia.

"My lord wants to attack Jiang Xia's army?"

There was a look of incomprehension in Huang Zhong's eyes.

"Correct!"

Pastoral nod.

"Attacking Jiang Xia's army was not a temporary idea!" Chen Gong took the initiative to explain: "From the beginning of the siege, our goal is Jiang Xia's army. At this time, we want to eat Jingzhou's last support outside the city and force them to death inside. Can't stay!"

With Jiang Xia's army around, Jiang Xia's warships are too strong to encircle them.

The grain from Yicheng has entered Xiangyang continuously. Even if they want to intercept it, the warships of the Mu army can't beat the warships of Jiangxia, so it is useless, so there is a gap in the siege.
