Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 757

Night fell silently.

The fierce battle under the city of Xiangyang has also come to an end. The Mu army did not choose to fight at night. The attack in the night battle was a surprise attack. If the surprise effect was lost, then the field battle would inevitably be more terrifying than the daytime fierce battle with casualties.

Although the Mu army is strong, it cannot afford to consume it.

So in the evening, the troops had already been withdrawn, and all the ministries led their troops back to the camp.

And the Jingzhou army in the city also ushered in a respite.

The attack of the Mu army brought a huge pressure of dark clouds to the Jingzhou army. Even if the Mu army could not attack the top of the city for two days, the ferocity they showed was enough to make the Jingzhou army timid.

In the battle of defending the city, it is reasonable to encircle one with ten.

Building a city wall is for a strong defense.

For a city wall like Xiangyang, if you want Miyagi outside, you must have at least three times as many troops as you dare to attack.

But in this battle, the shepherd army's strength was smaller than that of the city. However, the shepherd army not only attacked brazenly, but also attacked fiercely. Its momentum kept pressing down on the Jingzhou soldiers in the city. This was unimaginable for both the attacker and the defender.

This is also enough to show how powerful the Mu army is, whether it is individual strength or battle formation, it far surpasses the performance of the Jingzhou army.

"Will they attack the city tomorrow?"

"It should be!"

"The fight was so fierce today. When I heard them calling for gold, those Mujun thieves were still unwilling to retreat. They will definitely continue to attack us tomorrow!"

"We can't stand fighting like this!"

"Today we have a group of soldiers, one-third of the casualties are obviously defending the city, and the casualties are still higher than them. How can we defend!"

"..."

Above the west city gate, the Jingzhou army was very active in defending the outside of the city. Even if there was no attack outside the city, they did not dare to retreat. One by one, the soldiers rested on the spot in the aisle above the city, and chatted in twos and threes.

"Our army's morale is very low!"

Liu Biao and Wenpin walked by with their personal guards, and after listening to a few words, Liu Biao's expression turned gloomy.

"When they faced Mu Jun, the pressure was too great!"

Wenpin said softly: "My lord, I am not self-effacing. Our fighting spirit is not as good as that of the Mu army. As long as there are casualties, the soldiers will have resentment. If the resentment accumulates, it will affect the morale of the army. I don't know the Mu army. What a problem, we Jingzhou soldiers are living a comfortable life in peace after all, lack of experience on the battlefield, in terms of morale, we have been suppressed by the Mujun!"

"A strong soldier in the world deserves his reputation!" Liu Biao looked outside the city and sighed slightly.

"Fortunately, the strength of the Mu army is not strong. If the strength of the Mu army is a generation stronger, we may really be unable to defend it!"

Wenpin also sighed slightly.

The previous fights were not so tenacious and brutal, but now they are fighting, and the distance between the two sides is fully displayed.

"When I heard about the disarmament in Hanzhong, I was very happy!" Liu Biao is a person who knows how to introspect himself. He can see his own shortcomings from others. This is one of his strengths. , there will be unruly, but they are not fools, they all have their strengths.

Liu Biao said softly: "Now it seems that we have underestimated the picture of the herding dragon. This disarmament will not only liberate some young and strong labor force, bring harvest to Hanzhong, but also follow the strategy of elite soldiers. A remarkable young man , I heard that the Mu army needs daily drills, no wonder there are such elites!"

Most of the general soldiers are trained once every ten days, and the rest of the time is mainly engaged in farming, so as to ensure productivity.

Those who practice once every five days are considered elite.

Daily training consumes so much that even Jingzhou can't afford it.

"My lord, if they are like this, it is tantamount to disarmament, but there is no reduction in military expenditure. That is to spend 10,000+ soldiers and horses to train tens of thousands of elites. What a waste!"

Wenpin said.

"You're right!"

Liu Biao nodded: "This may not be a good road. Their road in Hanzhong may not work for us in Jingzhou. In the future, when we train troops, we should use our own method as a benchmark!"

"My lord, Longzhong urgent report!"

A Jingzhou scout rushed up, knelt on one knee, arched his hands, and delivered an urgent report.

"Longzhong?"

An idea flashed in Liu Biao's mind: "It should be Huang Zu's urgent report. Could it be that they have already started attacking Longzhong!"

During the offensive and defensive battle in Xiangyang, the North Road and West Road were blocked. If you want to contact Longzhong, you need to go out from the South City, and then go north by detour, so the time for the message to go back and forth needs to be delayed a bit.

He knew the news of Huang Zu's dispatch of troops, and he didn't think that the current Huang Zu had the ability to defy his military order. Huang Zu's tens of thousands of elite soldiers lost their battle with Xihe, and now he is already a toothless tiger. handle.

When he opened it, his pupils changed color slightly, and his expression became serious. On his face, a suppressed joy gradually emerged, but there was a trace of joy in this joy. unbelievable.

"Go back to the State Shepherd's Mansion and pass on my military order. Within half an hour, the civil and military forces of Jingzhou will gather immediately, there must be an important matter to discuss!"

"promise!"

……

State Shepherd House.

Liu Biao showed Kuai Liang the secret performance in his hand, and asked, "Do you think you can believe it?"

There is only one piece of news above, Longzhong has been broken, Huang Hansheng lifted the coffin and buried him in the river!

"Prefect Huang dare not lie about such a big event!"

Kuai Liang said softly.

"Then Mulongtu really died in battle?" Liu Biao secretly felt relieved.

"do not know!"

Kuai Liang shook his head: "I can't see through it. Mu Jing is dead. Since Longzhong Mountain has been breached by Huang Taishou, then what are the main forces doing here? They should withdraw..."

Kuai Liang's words woke up Wenpin.

He stood up suddenly: "No, Mu Jun wants money to get out of his shell!"

"what?"

Deng Long also stood up.

The two didn't say anything, and walked outside hand in hand.

"What do you mean?" Liu Biao didn't understand.

"They think that there may be an empty camp outside the city now!" Kuai Liang explained: "At this time, the Mu army has already withdrawn from Xiangyang City while we are relaxing!"

"Advance is retreat!"

Liu Biao finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

An hour later, Wenpin sent his personal guards back to the State Shepherd's Mansion to return to the situation of the defeat: "Master, the general personally led the cavalry out of the city to investigate. The shepherd army barracks outside the city are empty. The shepherd army has already withdrawn after nightfall. !"

"It seems that Mulongtu really died in Jingzhou. These herding soldiers want to run away?"

Liu Biao sneered.

"My lord, the general is waiting for your military order. Shall we pursue or not?"

"To chase, or not to chase?"

Liu Biao fell into deep thought, as if he was a man and a heaven.

He suffered too much, so he was a little embarrassed, afraid of some kind of trap.

But it was a great opportunity, and he didn't want to let go of an opportunity to wipe out the Mu army. It was a shame for Jingzhou to be besieged for many days. If these soldiers could not be wiped out in Jingzhou, Jingzhou would be able to hold its head high in the world in the future.

"My lord, after Mulongtu died in the battle at Yanshan Mountain, the Mu army can remain unchanged. Someone must be in charge of it secretly. Their strategic plan of advancing as retreat has almost fooled us, and they are planning to withdraw their troops tonight. Yes, and the soldiers in our city have been exhausted by their fierce attack for two days. Even if the offensive outside the city is suspended, there is no doubt that they will withdraw their troops. As long as they are given two days, they will be able to withdraw from Jingzhou smoothly. However, they did not expect that Longzhong would be breached by Huang Taishou, so it was a step too late!"

Kuai Liang stood up, clasped his hands and saluted, and then analyzed: "They have only gone for less than five hours now, so if they want to pursue, there is still a chance now, and they must not go far!"

"Chase!"

After all, Liu Biao couldn't let go of the shame of being besieged, he shouted: "Give me an order, not a herd thief is allowed to leave Jingzhou!"

"Yes!"

Several messengers quickly went to deliver the order.

The Jingzhou army went out of the city to pursue them.

After dawn, Jingping's First Army had just retreated to Jishui, and was chased by Deng Long's troops. In an encounter, Jingping's First Army was wounded and fled, escaped Jishui in a hurry, and withdrew its troops towards Xinye.

But the Violent Bear Army was much more dangerous. They retreated more slowly. They retreated to Deng County in four or five hours. .

When the news was sent back to Xiangyang, Liu Biao was overjoyed.

In the eyes of Jingzhou State Shepherd's Mansion, this battle has come to an end.

They won.

As for the Mu army, after Mu Longtu was defeated and killed in Yanshan, the group of dragons had no leader, and they were not able to withdraw from Jingzhou as they wished. They were chased and beaten by the Jingzhou army, and they were defeated.
