The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1329 Breaking Panyu
Guo Ma's rebellion this time, the opportunity to catch it couldn't be better. The Han army invaded Jiaoguang on a large scale, Mu Taohuang of Jiaozhou was defeated and died, and Xu Qi, the governor of Guangzhou, was defeated and captured. Everyone in Panyu city was in danger and panic. disturbed.

At this time, Guo Ma spread rumors in the city, saying that after the Han army invaded Jiaoguang, they burned, killed, looted, and slaughtered cities. The number of people in the group quickly increased from 500 to 5.

This undoubtedly greatly increased Guo Ma's confidence, and it seemed that he was still sure of dealing with the Han army.

Panyu is the state city of Guangzhou, and the city is naturally much stronger than ordinary county cities. After Guo Ma killed Guangzhou Governor Yushou, he firmly controlled Panyu City in his hands.This time, [-] to [-] troops were recruited, and Guo Ma organized them into four armies, each led by He Dian, Wu Shu, Wang Zu, and Yin Xing. It turned out that his five hundred troops were also scattered among Among the armies, he served as the commander of the small school.

Most of the recruits this time were unarmed civilians. Guo Ma ordered the opening of the official warehouses in Guangzhou, and took all the food, weapons, and military uniforms and distributed them to the armies. In a hurry, he was able to arm a considerable army.

Of course, Guo Ma also knew that the combat power of such a mob was not that high. Jiaozhou Mu Taohuang and Guangzhou Inspector Xu Qi fought against the Han army in a field battle, and they were defeated. Can compete with the Han army in the wild.

Guo Ma’s biggest reliance is the tall Panyu city. This city is Guo Ma’s amulet.

The quality and combat effectiveness of the army required to fight in the field are extremely high, but the requirements for defending the city are relatively lower. A soldier, even if he doesn't have a knife or gun in his hand, or a bow and arrow, but there are always bricks, tiles and stones, and he can join the battle of defending the city by swinging them down.

In order to fight Panyu's defensive battle well, Guo Ma has mobilized all the troops, and all of them went up to the city wall, waiting in full force, with insufficient defensive weapons, demolished houses, and transported all the masonry and timber obtained to the city wall.

The people whose houses were demolished stomped their feet, beat their chests, and wept endlessly, but Guo Ma was unmoved, and preached to everyone: "Liu Yin is the number one butcher in the world, and wherever he goes, he kills like hemp. Once it is lost, you will all die without a place to bury your body, and what a mere house is worth mentioning."

Thinking about the possible catastrophe, these people could only swallow their tears secretly and endured it. After all, although the house is important, it is far worse than their lives. As long as they can defend Panyu City and save their lives, then They are still willing to pay a little price.

Panyu was intensively building defensive facilities, and when the heat was in full swing, the Han army had already left Guangxin City and went down the Yushui River, pointing directly at Panyu.

Panyu is located at the estuary of Yushui. Compared with later generations, the Pearl River Delta has not yet formed. Panyu is still a coastal city. Looking south from Panyu, you can see the vast and misty South China Sea. Nanhai County is named after it.

For Liu Yin, the attack on Panyu will be the last battle of the attack on Jiaoguang. Although there are Rinan and Jiuzhen counties to the south of Jiaozhi County, and Zhuya County to the south of Hepu County, these small border counties have not yet been conquered. It's already insignificant, and there's no need for Liu Yin to conscript himself. As long as he wins Nanhai County, the largest county in Jiaoguang, Liu Yin's operations in the south can be successfully concluded.

Luo Shang led [-] cavalry as the vanguard, and rushed all the way to the city of Panyu.

Guo Ma had already abandoned the small counties on the outskirts of Panyu, and gathered all his troops to defend Panyu.

After Liu Yin heard the news, he sneered secretly. Guo Ma's strategy of sticking to Panyu was simply in line with Liu Yin's thoughts. It was a real headache for Liu Yin.

The purpose of Liu Yin's attack on Jiaoguang was to open up a channel to detour to Wu State, and by the way, the two prefectures of Jiaoguang and Jihan were incorporated into Jihan's territory, so this required a quick battle without delay. Going to eastern Guangdong to fight guerrillas is the real fatal thing. Even if Liu Yin sends troops to conquer, it will be futile. When Liu Yin leaves Guangzhou, Guo Ma can make a comeback. If you want to get rid of this cancer, it must be Time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Fortunately, people in this era don't have the concept of guerrilla warfare. They think that the city is the biggest reliance. They would rather stick to the city than escape to the deep mountains and old forests to become rogues.

For Liu Yin, it was just right for him. He sent a thousand cavalry to garrison the east and north of Panyu to block the escape routes of the rebels in the city. , ready to launch a siege operation.

Since 3000 cavalry guarded the periphery, there were only more than 4000 Han troops participating in the siege. Even if some soldiers were dispatched from Yulin and Cangwu counties to transport ladders and climbing equipment, the total number would not exceed [-]. [-] people, such a small number of people, is indeed very small for the tall and large Panyu City.

When Guo Ma climbed to the tower and saw the few siege troops below the city, he couldn't help laughing, and said to the surrounding people: "Liu Yin dared to attack the city with such a small number of people, he is too self-sufficient, hahaha -"

Compared with the number of people attacking the city, the number of people defending the city in Panyu is quite a lot. The first city wall is crowded with people, densely packed, but the weapons in their hands are various, ranging from knives, guns, swords and halberds to hoes, rakes and sticks. , It is dazzling, and there are many people who have no weapons, and can join the city defense team with two bricks in hand.

Although it doesn't look like an army, Guo Ma is full of confidence, and the quality is not good, but we are more expensive because of the large number, so many ants can kill elephants, right?What's more, with such a tall city blocking it, no matter how strong the cavalry of the Han army is, it can't fly to the top of Panyu's city. Guo Ma is determined to win this battle.

Liu Yin's location is relatively high, and he can see the whole panyu city from here. Seeing the bustling defenders on the city, there is a mocking smile on the corner of Liu Yin's mouth. The ignorant and fearless Guo Ma, he quickly You can see what is the power of destruction.

At this time, the Han army had completed its final deployment and was ready to attack the city at any time. Luo Shang rode over to ask Liu Yin for instructions. Liu Yin nodded slightly and gave the order to attack the city.
