I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 435 Pengcheng jungles!

On the early morning of the ninth day of May, the sky was slightly bright. The Wei army at the top of Pengcheng City had just finished changing their defenses when they suddenly heard bursts of footsteps coming from the distance.

There were not many footsteps at first, and they were scattered.

But slowly, the footsteps became denser, like waves coming one after another.

The eyes of Wei Jun at the top of the city were attracted, and they saw a long black line appearing in the mist in the distance.

The outline of the black line slowly becomes clear and then takes shape.

"Enemy attack!" a soldier exclaimed.

Needless to say, other soldiers had already seen it clearly.

Everyone's eyes widened.

Looking down from the top of the city, the appearance of the Han army slowly emerged from the mist.

"Okay." Hu Zun nodded, with a hint of confidence in his eyes, "Wang Ling came to Pengcheng from Jianye. The logistics are 800 miles away, right?"

The flags floating in the sky are like clouds with no end in sight.

It also woke up the people in Pengcheng.

Countless people walked out of the house in surprise and looked toward the east of the city.

"Then let Pengcheng's battle be his big defeat."

"It's eight hundred miles, or even close to a thousand miles." Zhang Wei said, "Wang Ling used strong troops to attack the city all the way. It seems powerful, but in fact, as long as he fails once, he will be defeated across the board, and his troops will not even be able to return. To Jianye.”

"We have arrived in Wuyuan now. We can arrive in two days."

Countless footsteps in unison echoed throughout the fields, startling the birds in the woods to fly into the sky in droves.

"The defenses in all parts of the city have been prepared. Even if the Shu thieves break through the city wall, it will be of no avail. They will not be able to get out after entering."

Someone moved the trebuchet to the top of the city, along with boxes after boxes of arrows.

"The Shu thieves will attack the city with heavy artillery. How is the defense inside the city?"

The sea of ​​people spread across the land began to gradually occupy the field of vision.

Hu Zun was riding on a horse, surrounded by personal guards, and led the senior military officials of Xuzhou towards the east of the city.

"Where are the Xuzhou County soldiers now?"

"All defenses have been reinforced and brick walls have been built." Zhang Wei said, "The moat has also been widened, and all the arrow towers have been built. There is enough food in the city for half a year."

"How is the defense of the surrounding city?"

"Station twenty miles north of the city."

"Where are the Qingzhou reinforcements?" Hu Zun asked again.

When the news reached Hu Zun, the Wei army in Pengcheng moved quickly. Teams came out of the school grounds one by one and lined up at the urging of the officers.

The bell at the top of the city rang, and someone exclaimed: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

A large number of soldiers wearing iron armor and holding halberds walked through the streets.

After saying that, Hu Zun pulled the reins and walked quickly towards the east of the city.

After climbing to the top of the city, Hu Zun saw the appearance of the Han army.

At this time, all the Han troops were arrayed in the east of the city.

The striker has even donned armor.

The neatly arrayed armored legions lay across the outside of Pengcheng, with layers of cold light flowing under the rising sun.

There is a sea of ​​people and a forest of swords and guns.

There is no end in sight.

Wang Ling stood on the general stage and asked Wang Guang: "Is there any movement of the Wei army in the north of the city?"

"There is no movement yet, but now we definitely know that we are coming." Wang Guang said, "I have sent people to find out, almost all of them are state and county soldiers."

"Prefecture and county soldiers?" Wang Ling was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Hu Zun was so uncontrollable that even the prefecture and county soldiers were mobilized at this time. Doesn't he know that the more people there are, the easier it is to cause chaos? ? "Sun Wu and Ji Han don't understand Cao Weizhou's soldiers, and Wang Ling doesn't understand them either?"

Those are just local heroes.

Of course there are brave people who can fight.

But fighting is never about having strength.

The army pays attention to strict organization and requires strong coordination.

Having never been on the battlefield, even a local fanatic who licks blood from his knife edge cannot be a strong army.

Those fanatics, in the final analysis, are just bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. If they really get to the battlefield, they will be scared to death immediately.

"Not only are the state and county soldiers here, but I also heard that reinforcements from Qingzhou have also arrived, at least tens of thousands of them."

"There are only ten thousand foreign troops stationed in Qingzhou." Wang Ling sneered again, "Master Sima is still a little younger!"

Tens of thousands of people came, and I am afraid some state and county soldiers were brought over.

"Pengcheng must have strict defenses." Wang Guang said, "Hu Zun has some strength in fighting. We cannot underestimate the enemy."

"Didn't the general say it?" Wang Ling smiled with a tooth that was about to fall out, "When we besiege the city and fight for reinforcements, we are not attacking Pengcheng, but Sima Division's psychological defense line."

After speaking, he looked north and asked, "How many cavalry do we have?"

"Ten thousand cavalry, three thousand heavy cavalry, and seven thousand light cavalry."

"Split into two groups and defeat the Wei army in the north of the city today. When Qingzhou troops arrive, there is no need to stop and fight directly!"

"Here!"

After Wang Ling's order was passed down, the Han cavalry camp began to take action.

The army horses Sun Quan bought from Cao Wei were strong and vigorous.

They gathered in the open space in the distance, and then quickly headed north of the city.

The Han cavalry moves very fast and has clear and simple goals.

At this time, the Wei army's state and county soldiers in the north of the city had not yet realized that they were the first to be attacked by the Han army in the Battle of Pengcheng.

The Wei army here has chaotic military discipline and loose management.

Wang Ji, the governor of Xuzhou, could barely keep the army here.

You know, maintaining a temporary force of 200,000 troops also requires considerable skills and means.

In fact, this has exceeded Wang Ji's management boundaries.

After grabbing food everywhere, the troops began to lay out north of Pengcheng.

Many people don't want to come to fight at all. They want to farm at home. Now is the wheat harvest season. Who doesn't want to go back to harvest wheat?

Who doesn’t want to hug his wife and eat grapes at home?
Someone was devouring the looted food and said without any psychological burden: "I used to think that I was a kind person, but now I want to say that kindness is just a piece of shit! Hahaha! I won't rob it. You have to starve to death!”

"Who have we offended? We are going to be captured and fight. We just want to farm and have enough to eat!"

"Go, go, go! Stop talking about these useless things! Eat! Go grab another meal when you're full!"

Several people squatted in an open space and were digging into the bowls of rice.

Generally, ancient armies used to make rations that were easy to carry, such as cakes and pot helmets.

Rarely in the form of rice, it is difficult to collect after falling.

It can be seen from the rice that these grains were snatched temporarily and were different from traditional military rations.

"Hahaha, eat quickly! I've been hungry for several days. It's so uncomfortable to be hungry! Eat quickly!"

Just as a few people were enjoying their rice, bursts of rumbling sounds suddenly came from the other side of the woods.

The ground seemed to be shaking slightly.
