Chapter 781 On the Battle of Jingzhou City

In the afternoon, as the sun set, a faint afterglow reflected in a newly built camp.

There are only 10,000 soldiers in the Modao camp. Compared with the [-]+ Yizhou army, it can only be regarded as a small fly. It simply settled in the Yizhou military camp. The Yizhou military camp stretches for hundreds of miles, and any camp is enough. Modao Camp has moved in.

Of course, this position is also very important.

For example, in front of the Modao Camp is the Dongzhou Camp, the most powerful Dongzhou Army under Zhang Ren's command, on the right is the Yangtze River, and the Berkshire Navy is stationed on the Yangtze River, and in the back is the elite Jiangzhou under Yan Yan stationed in the mountains. camp.

Caught between the three camps.

With the strength of the Modao Battalion, even with wings, they couldn't fly.

"My lord, this Liu Yan is still guarding against you!" Standing in the new camp, Xi Zhicai had a gloomy look on his face: "There are heavy troops guarding the front and back, is it because they are afraid that we will escape!"

"This is already considered trust!"

Mujing is in a good mood.

What I said in the camp just now, not to mention gaining Liu Yan's absolute trust, has initially dispelled Liu Yan's biggest doubts, and finally Liu Yan has found a starting point for his surrender.

"Look ahead, there are two barracks between us and the Chinese army!" Mu Jing looked ahead and said, "Based on this alone, his doubts about me have been overwhelmed to the minimum. We need to take one bite at a time, and trust also takes a long time." Accumulate little by little!"

"Although Liu Yan is suspicious of you, Zhang Renke keeps an eye on us!"

Xi Zhicai thought about it, and said, "Would he do something bad?"

"Let him stare!"

Mu Jing pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "However, we can distort his starting point. Liu Yan trusts him now, but it doesn't mean he will always trust him. Zhang Ren suspects that our starting point is very important. If he is only worried about our loyalty , no matter what he does, Liu Yan will not blame him, but if he is trying to eliminate dissidents, it will be different!"

"I understand!" Xi Zhicai's eyes brightened, "Liu Yan is suspicious, as long as he can be aroused, then the rest will go smoothly!"

"Take your time!" Mu Jing waved his hand, squinted his eyes, with an obscure light flickering in his pupils, and sighed softly: "Now we have passed the first level!"

This is a big game, he has already gambled his wealth and life, if he wins, he will rule the southwest and rule the world, if he loses, everything will be lost.

A chess game in which half a step cannot be wrong is never allowed to rush for quick success.

…………

The main account of the camp.

Liu Yanping subdued his mood, he himself was a little surprised, he was hiding such a good idea, and he didn't know it unless he was close, how could he be singled out by Mu Jing with just a few words, and he was a little happy.

"Lord!"

Zhang Ren walked in and bowed his hands in salute.

"Are you ready?" Liu Yan asked.

"It's been arranged!" Zhang Ren nodded: "We are located in the southwest, relying on the Yangtze River, escorted by Dongzhou Camp and Jiangzhou Camp, the safety of Marquis Ming is absolutely guaranteed!"

"Are you concerned about Minghou's safety, or are you guarding against him?"

Liu Yan smiled lightly.

"Not only care about his safety, but also guard against him!" Zhang Ren said frankly: "My lord, Minghou is Minghou after all, not my Yizhou direct line. Prevent him from hurting the lord!"

"Zhang Ren, you need to broaden your horizons!"

Liu Yan shook his head: "If you want the people in the world to use you for yourself, you should cater to the hearts of the people in the world. If you can only use people from Yizhou, wouldn't I have to live in Yizhou for the rest of my life? The city that was captured, the county that was captured , who can govern for us, employ people, and use talents only!"

"My lord, I have no objection to using other people, but Minghou Mujing is a dangerous person. This person is a double-edged sword. If you want to use him, my lord, you should be careful!" Zhang Ren insisted: "And I see this A person is not a form of submission!"

"You have a personal grievance with Mu Jing's general Huang Zhong, I know that, but you can clearly distinguish between public and private!"

Liu Yan hit him once.

"The general will know!" Zhang Ren's eyes showed a cold light.

He learned from Tong Yuan, Tong Yuan was the spear king of Hebei, his martial arts is the best in the world, there are only a handful of people who can match him, but he was defeated by the Nanyang sword king Huang Zhong, he was enraged by the defeat, so he passed away.

Master is like a father, and hatred cannot be shared. It is not a matter of a day or two for him to kill Huang Zhong. He had a chance in Chengdu back then, but the overall situation is the most important thing. He endured it. Now he still has to endure it. The surrender of the army is of great significance to Yizhou.

But he had to guard against Mu Jing's secret tricks, maybe he had preconceived it, he always felt that Mu Jing was not a person who could surrender.

"You don't have to worry about the things on Mulongtu's side!" Liu Yan waved his hand and said, "You concentrate on attacking Jingzhou City, and you will lose all your face. Mujun has been in Xiangyang for so long, but we It's hard to make progress, maybe we have to continue to let Mu Longtu see jokes and make him think that something big will happen!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Zhang Ren nodded: "The last general is ready to attack!"

"Then attack!"

Liu Yan said: "Within a month, you must take Jingzhou City, otherwise, you will come to see me!"

"As ordered!"

Zhang Ren received the military order, then turned and left.

……

The next day, outside Jingzhou City, at the west gate and south gate, the Yizhou army had already lined up and waited.

dong dong dong! ! ! ! !
The drums sounded, and the battle began.

The Yizhou army began to attack.

The main Dongzhou army attacked the west gate, and the Berkshire soldiers responded at the south gate, launching a two-sided attack, suppressing the morale of the city with troops, and forcing the city to dispatch all available troops to the gate.

"The trebuchet!"

Zhang Ren was wearing a battle armor, riding his horse on the front line, his eyes were hunting, and his fighting spirit was awe-inspiring: "Smash me!"

Boom boom boom! ! ! !

The weather in Yizhou has been good these years, and as a land of abundance, there is sufficient food and grass, and there are also a lot of military equipment. Being able to equip more than ten trebuchets in the first battalion is a treat that even the elite herdsmen do not have.

In the first wave of attack, the stone bullets thrown by hundreds of trebuchets seemed to blast open the city gate, one after another, the earth shook and the mountains shook.

However, Jingzhou City is a place with high walls and thick walls. Even with a large trebuchet, it is difficult to break through the city walls. At most, it can only cause some casualties to the soldiers guarding the city.

The most important thing is that in this era, whether it is a bed crossbow or a large-scale equipment such as a trebuchet, the accuracy is very poor.

That is to say, ten trebuchets, one attack, ten stone bullets, may not be able to fall three on the right position, either too much, or can only tremble under the city wall.

"Archer!"

"Prepare!"

"put!"

Tens of thousands of archers lined up. Instead of facing the top of the city, they shot upwards. This is a projectile, forming an arc, and then falling from the sky, like pieces of rain falling, covering the entire battlefield.

"Shield soldiers, mount the shield!"

"block!"

Cai Mao on the city wall looked at it coldly, and immediately gave orders, covering him with a shield to block the rain of arrows.

Then Cai Mao fought back: "Archer, fire!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!"

The archers on the top of the city also opened up their formation to cover the city. They are condescending, but they have an advantage.

This first day's battle was always going on. Everyone was consuming the arrows of both sides and the attacking ability of the opponent's long-range weapons. The damage of both sides was not too big, so they hurriedly called for gold and withdrew their troops, ending the day's battle.

……

into the night.

The Yizhou army camp became a little quieter. The soldiers who were exhausted all day had already started to rest, and could only hear the footsteps of patrolling soldiers and horses.

In Modao Camp, in the Mujing tent, an oil lamp was lit, and he was reading a book under the lamp. Recently, he was reading Zhan Guoce, and sometimes he could read it so fascinated that he didn't even notice that Xi Zhicai walked in.

"Ahem!" Xi Zhicai coughed twice.

"How did you come?"

Mu Jing put down the secretary in his hand, raised his head slightly, and asked with a smile.

"Aren't you waiting for the victory of the Yizhou Army today?" Xi Zhicai sat down and asked in a deep voice.

"I care what they do?"

Mu Jing shook his head.

"You really need to care about it!" Xi Zhicai said: "You have surrendered, Jingping's First Army is now under Liu Yan's restraint, and now Liu Yan has handed over the big battle to Zhang Ren, if the fight continues like this There is no guarantee that Zhang Ren will not treat the Jingping First Army as a vanguard and dare to die to open the way for him!"

"Not to this point!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "Unless Zhang Ren admits that the Yizhou Army is inferior to our Mu Army, he dares to mobilize our Jingping First Army to enter the arena, otherwise he will just hang out!"

"It's true that Zhang Ren is arrogant, but he may not be as thin-skinned as we thought!" Xi Zhicai said softly, "He is a pragmatic person!"

"pragmatic?"

Mu Jing smiled: "I understand what you mean, you mean, in order to break through Jingzhou City, he may not care about that face!"
