Chapter 134 How to write the battle report(1/2)
Man Chong felt that he had already given Cao Cao a lot of face after staying in Dangyang for so long.
This small city is north of Jiangling, and there is basically no city defense or something. Before, it was able to withstand waves of attacks by Man Pet, which was well-organized, thanks to the Wu army's attack on Jiangling.
Man Chong has enough to protect himself, and he really dared not go south to support Cao Ren. Now he is waiting for the stars and the moon, waiting for the imperial soldiers to come to help him.
Now, tens of thousands of people came in one breath, but these tens of thousands of people did not bring any food!
Are you here to help or seek your life...
Cai Mao was quite honest - based on the calculation that a person ate two kilograms of rice a day, he asked his subordinates to prepare 18 kilograms of rice and two kilograms of salt. It is already quite good to carry a long distance with a load, and it is not against the riverside. What else do you want us to do?
What to do? What do you think of?
Man Chong felt that something was wrong with Cai Mao, who could come, and now he firmly believed that Cai Mao must be a fraud.
I said that Cai Mao was obviously malicious. It was okay, but he was in trouble now.
"What's there to be afraid of?" Cai Mao smiled all over his face, "General Yun is leading the army to defend near Jingcheng. As long as the general needs it, we will continue to mobilize military rations here. Do you have any questions?"
Cao Pi nodded repeatedly, not taking the predicament seriously.
"Yes, we will repel Guan Yu and control the waterway. Guan Yu can no longer threaten our army's grain transportation, which greatly reduced the distance. Now there is a large army of envoys Cai here, so it is easy for us to go out of the city to transport grain.
How many soldiers can Zhou Yu have in total? Could it be that he still dares to divide his troops to siege Dangyang?"
Man Chong's heart was pounding.
Cai Mao didn't know what kind of medicine he had given Cao Pi, but he actually made Cao Pi trust him so much. He didn't know whether these tens of thousands of people could unlock the siege of Jiangling, but Man Chong knew that if Cai Mao turned against him, it would be easy to kill him.
He was so amused and did not dare to say much for a moment.
"General Man is so difficult in the city. As the governor of Jingzhou, Cai did not investigate before and was sentenced to death.
Mr. Zihuan, I am going to write a letter to Prime Minister Cao, asking the Prime Minister to send food to support me. I don’t believe that I can’t save Jiangling if I wait for tens of thousands of people here!”
Of course, Cao Pi had no objection.
He was looking forward to fighting a big battle in Jiangling. If he could unlock the siege of Jiangling, the contribution of this sky-spreading contribution would be enough to ensure that he successfully inherited Cao Cao's position.
Even if it doesn't work, as long as Cao Ren can be rescued, it will at least ensure that he will not lose the upper hand in the fight with Cao Zhi.
So, Cao Pi wrote down the current situation in Jingzhou - he used emotional words to describe the painstaking efforts of the generals in Jingzhou to rescue Jiangling, and Cai Mao and Yunshan performed their duties. After a long period of hard work, they finally defeated Guan Yu, pushed the front line to the Dangyang area, and a war was about to begin.
This war will surely bring out the morale of the Han Dynasty and regain the dignity of the Han Dynasty, so that people will never dare to underestimate the dignity of the Han Dynasty - this is what Cao Pi, the loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, thinks.
After writing this military newspaper, Cai Mao first signed the name and then pushed the military newspaper to Man Chong.
Man Chong dared not refuse, and also signed carefully. The last one was Cao Zhi.
Although Cao Zhi had not figured out what was going on yet, he saw that Man Chong's face was pale and believed that there must be something strange about it.
Cai Mao had bad intentions, could it be that there was another big disaster this time?
"Hurry, send the letter to General Yun!" Cai Mao smiled heartily and immediately ordered Kuaima to go out to deliver the letter.
Man Chong watched the knight who was delivering the letter away anxiously, and then helped everyone to rest.
He was busy and busy until evening when he suddenly heard a burst of screams from the top of the city. Then, with his busy steps and the sound of golden drums, it was clear that an enemy was coming.
Zhou Yu had also wanted to divide his troops to attack Dangyang before, but the fact that the Wu army was fighting on land was a mess. After discovering that Man Chong's troops were not strong enough, Zhou Yu was too lazy to divide his troops, so he let Man Chong die on his own.
But I didn't expect that the enemy would come again at this moment.
The time of coming was a bit coincidental, which made Man Chong wonder if Cai Mao was using some means.
"How many people have come?"
"Report to the general, there are about 500 strikers, and the back team... the back team is not known yet."
"Um."
Man Chong is a powerful general with both civil and military affairs, so he naturally would not be afraid of such a few soldiers.
Zhou Yu didn't dare to split too many soldiers and generals, I just need to defend the city.
but……
It's over, it's OK before.
But now there are so many mouths in the city. If these people cut off the supply of military supplies, there will be a big chaos in the city!
While cursing Cao Pi and Cai Mao in their hearts, Man Chong quickly rode his horse to find Cao Pi, but saw Cao Pi climbing the city tower early and looking at the soldiers and horses in the distance, looking thoughtful.
"Young Master?"
"This vanguard is good at equestrianism, I'm afraid the elite soldiers are here." Cao Pi had seen Zhang Xiu's Xiliang cavalry, and the terrifying scene of the raid of ten thousand horses was always imprinted in his heart.
He looked at the enemy vanguard attacking from a distance and felt extremely well-organized, and he couldn't help but feel a little afraid in his heart.
No, how could the Wu army have such powerful cavalry? With these people here, I am afraid that nothing will be transported into the city!
"General Man--" Cao Pi quickly called Man Chong, "We must hurry up and fight to find a way out."
Man Chong was sweating profusely on his forehead, and he said anxiously: "The so-called son of a daughter cannot sit in the hall. When there are not many thieves, please ask the young master to retreat quickly. We will take care of this place."
Cao Pi nodded quickly and turned his eyes to Cai Mao.
Cai Mao was quite calm on his face and said with a smile:
"Our army has few horses and many thieves. If the young master breaks through and is caught by the thief outside the city, the consequences will be unimaginable. It is better to rely on the city wall to fight the enemy.
And the young master comes from afar, and the morale of the generals in the city is in full swing. If the young master breaks out before the battle, I am afraid... this city will be difficult to defend and will be broken every once in a while."
Cao Pi's heart skipped a beat and thought to himself that this was true.
He led the crowd to fight to understand the siege of Jiangling.
Now that he meets an enemy, how can he escape easily?
If he leaves, wouldn’t he ruin his previous reputation for nothing and make his father laugh at it?
He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "I won't leave, I want to see what these thieves have."
Cao Pi refused to retreat, and Man Chong was so panicked at this moment.
Seeing that more and more enemies outside gathered, his square face was full of anxiety, so he simply picked up an iron spear:
"As a laborious young man guards the city, I will fight for a while while the night is dark.
If it can sluggish the enemy's aura, it will be easier to respond to General Yun."
Cao Pi smiled:
"Okay, that's the case.
General Yun is extremely loyal and brave, and he will rescue us soon."
There is Cai Mao inside and strong enemies outside. Although Man Chong felt trapped in a huge conspiracy, he could only believe Cai Mao for the time being.
He personally led his army out of the city, rode his horse slowly towards the east, preparing to explore the enemy's formation before the enemy's siege was formed, and to kill several enemy's forwards.
Although Man Chong is not a famous general from the battle formation, he has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and is skilled in archery and horses, and can drive hard bows. He has a very good method of using spears.
When Zhou Yu's army came to harass Dangyang, Man Chong decisively led the crowd to attack and killed several Wu army captains first shocked the morale of the enemy. He believed that the main attack direction of the Wu army was still Jiangling guarded by Cao Ren.
As long as he doesn't meet Gan Ning, the other Wu generals will have the confidence to fight.
The enemies outside the city heard Man Chong leading more than 100 cavalry out of the city gate, and they all shouted in unison.
There were not many vanguards, and many of them had already got off the horse. Man Chong observed the enemy formation and immediately urged the horse to advance quickly. He bent his bow and arrows in front of the enemy formation. He fired three arrows in a moment. An enemy soldier could not dodge and was shot into his arm by Man Chong, and immediately screamed in pain.
The generals of Cao's army shouted in unison and expressed their sincere gratitude for Man Chong's archery technique.
Man Chong was also very satisfied with his arrows. He rode on the horse, looked at the somewhat panicked enemy and shouted:
"I am so popular with the general of power. Who do you dare to invade?
Retreat quickly and let you die!”
The generals under Man Chong shouted in unison to the mountains and win. Cao Pi, who was standing at the top of the city to watch, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
good.
Man Chong is both civil and military, and Cai Mao’s tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Our army will definitely win this battle.
Man Chong showed off his power and saw that no one dared to fight in the enemy army, and he felt quite proud.
Yes, before ten thousand of them came, Zhou Gongjin must have been frightened and sent him to patrol to serve as a suspicious soldier.
I just regret that they met me!
"Who dares to fight to the death with me!" Man Chong shouted again with his spear. His voice was as sonorous as iron, echoing in the increasingly dark world. The powerful pressure made the generals of the Cao army happy both physically and mentally, and looked straight at the enemy soldiers who seemed to be standing still in the distance.
Seeing that the enemy was just like this, Man Chong had ordered the increase of troops. His current goal was not to drive away these people, but to destroy them all here.
Cai Mao had many soldiers, and they could fight and get close, constantly posing a threat to Zhou Lang in Jiangling.
He believed that his choice was absolutely correct.
"I am so fond of General Fighting Power! Who dares to fight to the death with me!"
"I am so fond of General Fighting Power. Who dares to fight to the death with me!"
Man Chong kept shouting his name to shock those enemy soldiers who seemed to have good horsemanship.
