At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Page 792

Chapter 1358 One thousand two hundred and sixty eight, you dare to attack Master Wang!

In Xu Huang's view, Jiaozhou people should not be strong enough to resist.

According to the intelligence gathered before the war, Shi Xie, the actual leader of Jiaozhou, was not willing to offend the central government, and had no idea or willingness to fall out with the central government.

He is more willing to negotiate peacefully with the central government to resolve this dispute and continue to maintain the status of Shijia in Jiaozhou.

For this reason, even the governor of Jiaozhou was unwilling to do it, and took the initiative to let the central government take the lead.

It is very unlikely that such a person would use military means to counter the Wei Empire.

Guo Peng believes that what Shi Xie wants to maintain is the political ecology of the Eastern Han government era, and he wants to preserve this political ecology of cooperation and decentralization between the central and local governments.

At least keep it in Jiaozhou.

The world has entered the era of Emperor Wei's autocratic rule, but despite this, in Jiaozhou, even in the wild land of Jiaozhou, the political model of the Eastern Han Dynasty must be preserved, so that the local area has a certain leading power.

This is his only interest appeal.

But such an interest appeal obviously does not conform to Mr. Guo's mind and will.

It's okay to not move troops, I'm already mobilizing troops, and you still count on this?

Wake up, don't eat peaches.

Panyu Port was empty, not even a few boats, and there was no sign of defense or someone welcoming him, which made Xu Huang somewhat suspicious.

So Xu Huang ordered Cao Xing to lead a small force to explore near the port by fast boat, and set up an advance camp to cover the landing of the main force.

Prevent the Jiaozhou people from trying to attack when the Wei army lands.

The area near the port is lush and pleasing to the eye. There are even too many greens, which make it look a bit messy.

It shouldn't be difficult to hide some troops in these places.

So how much to do some preparations.

Wearing thick leather armor, Cao Xing took three fast boats with 500 fully armed soldiers from the Wei army, arrived at the port as quickly as possible, landed quickly, formed an formation, and then explored the surrounding area.

At the same time, Xu Huang ordered the fleet of large ships to approach the port slightly so that they could meet and support Cao Xing's advance troops when necessary.

Facts have proved that no matter what the intelligence is, the vigilance that a soldier should have cannot be forgotten, especially in this weird situation, it is really necessary to maintain calm and vigilance.

When the Wei army was exploring in the port, ambushes were everywhere, and a large number of strange [army] wearing the banner of Jiaozhou Shijia appeared in front of Cao Xing with shouts, and launched a surprise attack on the small number of Wei troops who had landed.

Apart from anything else, it was a scuffle.

Hehe, have you played Art of War?

The Wei army seemed to be attacked somewhat, but an attack of this scale was nothing to the elite Wei army who had fought against the Shanyue bandits in the mountains and forests of the south of the Yangtze River for many years.

The tactics of the elusive Shanyue thieves could not make Wei Jun retreat, let alone the crappy tactics of the Jiaozhou people.

Those Jiaozhou soldiers who were not fully equipped just collided with Wei Jun, as if they had hit a big rock head-on, and they were hit badly.

Although the Wei army was small in number, they reacted quickly and formed an formation with strong combat effectiveness. After stabilizing their mentality, they immediately launched a counterattack and launched a fierce attack on the Jiaozhou soldiers, which was quite sharp.

After Xu Huang discovered this situation, he was very annoyed, and found that the Jiaozhou people not only did not surrender, but dared to resist. This was a veritable rebellion.

Now there is a reason to kill.

To be honest, when the troops were dispatched, the top officials of the Wei army were discussing how they should respond if the Jiaozhou people lined the road to welcome them and eat pots of pulp to welcome the king's division.

His Majesty the emperor asked them to crusade against non-officials, but if the non-officials are really too high, what should they do?

You can't kill a group of people who welcome them with food and drinks, right?

That would be too unsightly, and it would be too embarrassing to say it.

Well now, I don't have any scruples anymore.

How dare you attack Master Wang!

It's still the army of Jiaozhou scholars!

Good guy!

This is rebellion!

Xu Huang immediately ordered more troops to take fast boats to support Cao Xing on the shore. At the same time, General Ou Xing, who was carrying out the order of Shiwu [destroy the Wei army's landing force], was a little surprised to find that he seemed unable to quickly defeat the Wei army's landing force. .

Originally, according to Shiwu's arrangement, their goal was to deal a heavy blow to the Wei army's first wave of landing troops, and then retreat.

Withdrew to the city and carried out defensive operations for a period of time, because the implementation of a resolute fortification of the walls and clearing the fields could bring a great blow to the logistics of the Wei army.

In this way, Wei Jun will be anxious. Once the logistics do not arrive in time, how can this battle be fought?

So obviously, Wei Jun will ask them to surrender and open the city.

At that time, there will be bargaining capital.

This is the perfect plan Feng Chao planned for Shiwu from the perspective of a businessman. It looks really good and it is meaningful to carry it out.

Shi Wu felt that he had found the right way, so he implemented the plan very happily, thinking that he could wait for the surrender, and then bargain for the maximum benefit.

Originally, Ou Xing also viewed it this way.

With the bonus of waiting for work and making a sudden attack, Ou Xing felt that he should be able to deal a blow to the Wei army and severely damage this part of the Wei army, so as to complete the task, but this small Wei army was unexpectedly strong.

They formed a formation and fought against the incoming Jiaozhou soldiers with all their strength. They cooperated with each other tacitly, and their defense and offense were orderly.

Although it was divided into several small blocks by the sudden attack, each small block can fight on its own without panic, and the formation is complete and tight, so that the Jiaozhou soldiers have no gaps in attacking.

And they are very well equipped.

Faced with such a tight military formation and excellent equipment, the weakness of the Jiaozhou soldiers was greatly magnified, and the advantages brought by the earliest raids were completely offset, and the numerical advantage was almost lost as time went by. The Wei army's counterattack was very powerful. They are not rivals at all.

As a result, the battle situation fell into a stalemate instead. The Jiaozhou soldiers could not leave if they wanted to, and they couldn't fight if they wanted to fight. They completely lost the initiative and fell into a passive state.

Wei Jun also didn't expect the Jiaozhou soldiers to fight when they came up, so they didn't respond directly, but the reaction was quite fast, and Xu Huang immediately countered.

When the Wei army's reinforcements landed, the Jiaozhou soldiers did not have any extra troops to stop them, but after seeing more Wei troops landing to help in the battle, they immediately fled.

As soon as Wei Jun launched a charge, they fled in a rout. They fled very resolutely, without any doubts.

Sure enough, it is still the original army of the old era.

It's okay to fight with the wind, but once it falls into adversity, it will collapse immediately.

Ou Xing didn't even react, the [-] soldiers collapsed, and they fled desperately. He didn't insist on running, and was chased by Wei Jun, so he escaped with only a few lucky ones. .

The Wei army then occupied the port and began to arrange for the landing and stationing of troops.

Xu Huang landed very angry and found Cao Xing who was counting the results of the battle.

"Are the scholars crazy? How dare they take the initiative to attack the soldiers of the emperor?"

"I don't know what's going on, and... if they really want to fight, they should also fight us with water troops first, right? Why don't they use water troops, and then use ambushes to fight after we land, what kind of tactic is this? I also do it don't know."

The second monk Cao Xingzhang couldn't touch the back of his head, he really didn't know why Jiaozhou soldiers did such a thing.

Xu Huang didn't understand what these guys were thinking, so he could only arrange for the army to be rectified. After the main force of 5000 people was rectified, he would personally lead the troops to attack Panyu County.

Not to mention anything else, they are all ready to fight, so there is no need to show any face, just use the trebuchet and the fierce fire oil tank, and send them to the sky in one wave.

Resist Wang Shi?

court death!

Chapter 1359 How can one thousand 260 nine make you surrender?

Unhappy, Xu Huang marched angrily to Panyu County.

At this moment, Shi Wu is losing his temper at Ou Xing who fled back from the defeat.

"Trash! Even the first spies who landed in Wei can't beat them. They've lost soldiers and generals, and my morale! Push it down! Cut it off!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Wei people are good at fighting, and their subordinates are powerless! Majesty, please spare your life! Please spare your life!!!"

Ou Xing howled miserably and was dragged out and beheaded for public display, and then Shi Wu looked at Feng Chao worriedly.

"Feng Jun, what should I do now? I wanted to win the battle before negotiating terms, but now I haven't won the battle. Maybe I've angered the people in the court. What should I do next?"

Feng Chao touched the beard on his chin, looking like a dog-headed military adviser.

"It seems that the imperial army is very good at fighting, and they are not idlers. The lord should strengthen the city defense as soon as possible, consolidate the city, and prepare to delay it for a while. As long as the imperial army runs out of food, it is our chance. At that time, the imperial army It will definitely be recruited to surrender, we can follow the trend and surrender.”

Feng Chao's face was full of determination, which made Shi Wu feel a little relieved.

Then, a mighty Wei army came in black and mighty, destroying all the facilities around Panyu County.

Then surrounded Panyu County on three sides, and then shouted to the inside very annoyedly-quickly open the city and surrender, otherwise, when the city is broken, no chickens or dogs will be left behind!

Seeing the number of Wei Jun, Shi Wu was shocked.

He urgently mobilized the soldiers and horses that could be used in the city, and he armed about 2000 combat personnel. He sent out [-] just now and didn't return many, and now he only has a little over [-] people.

Others, people can take them out, but they haven't been trained in combat, and they don't have many weapons and armor to arm them. It's okay to be a civilian, but fighting a war is purely death.

Fighting is not about just taking a weapon and going to the battlefield to kill people.

Wei Jun's strength surpassed him at first glance, and he looked very strong.

So Shiwu looked at Feng Chao hesitantly.

It means that if we don't surrender now, we feel that we really can't win. If we continue like this, if the Wei people break through the city, what should we do?To surrender or not to surrender?

Feng Chao shook his head at him.

Don't worry, we have a city, we can resist it, resist it for a while, wait until the court begs you to surrender and then surrender, this is in your best interest, otherwise, you will not be able to negotiate terms.

Believe me, this is my limit operation.

Shiwu also had no master, and went to the doctor in a hurry. Seeing Feng Chao's confident appearance in a panic, he nodded in agreement, and then began to organize the army in the city to defend the city.

Xu Huang saw that these guys had begun to defend the city, and it seemed that they were going to fight to the end!

Good guy, you won't die until you reach the Yellow River, and you won't cry until you see the coffin!

Catapult, start assembling, ready to attack the city!

To deal with a small and low town like Panyu County, there is no need for many trebuchets. Xu Huang only carried three sets of trebuchets in total, all of which were placed in the south of the city.

After all, the number of Wei Jun is limited.

According to the specific judgment of the military conference before the war, the imperial court now determined that the population of Jiaozhou should be around 200 million, neither too many nor too few.

Even so, because the productivity is far lower than that of the Central Plains, and the local forces are intertwined, even the largest scholar family cannot completely control the population resources of Jiaozhou. Therefore, despite the population, the local forces in Jiaozhou cannot fully mobilize their forces.

War potential is very limited.

Liu Biao in Jingzhou claims to have 3 armored soldiers, but he has about [-] to [-] troops at his disposal, while Zhang Jin, the Jiaozhou Shepherd, can use far fewer troops than Liu Biao. With all his strength, he can arm about [-] to [-] soldiers. up.

Shi Xie and other local tyrants are estimated to have far more people than Zhang Jinneng, and their strength is also stronger. With the official family's hidden household registration, Shi Xie's strength is even stronger.

But he can't escape Jiaozhou's productivity.

So Shi Xie decided to make an enemy of the central government, and Ding Potian only gathered an army of [-] to [-], which was the typical army of the Eastern Han Dynasty with mixed good and bad.

Such an army, as long as Wei Jun has [-] regular troops to confront him head-on, will definitely be able to defeat the [-] Jiaozhou soldiers.

Guo Peng's use of 2 people is already a compromise made in Jiaozhou's poor traffic conditions.

Moreover, Jiaozhou's population of more than 200 million may also include a large number of non-Han foreigners, some local aborigines and the like, and the situation is estimated to be the same as that of Yunzhou's Yongchang County.

After losing the official leading figure, Jiaozhou is expected to fall into a wave of chaos formed by itself. The [-] troops were to quell the rebellion of Jiaozhou's local aborigines at that time.

Of course, in order to build Jiaozhou in the future, it is still necessary to let some troops come over for development in advance.

Generals like Zhang Liao's are already very good at leading their troops to drill through the complex woods and develop them into arable land.

Logging, burning, opening up arable land, draining water, strangling ferocious beasts and the like, these troops are all professional, and they are also familiar with the local climate conditions, so there is no acclimatization.

With this part of the army, the population of Jiaozhou can be utilized. At least Jiaozhi County, where the Red River Plain is located, can be developed first.

It was under such considerations that Guo Peng dispatched so many troops to attack Jiaozhou.

That's why when Shiwu saw an army of nearly 5000 people in darkness, he felt frightened.

Shi Wu believed that all the troops in Jiaozhou were gathered together, and they could almost fight to the death with the imperial army, but he should just keep guarding the city honestly on his own.
