Chapter 205
Chapter 205
Although Wang Shuang is only a capital lieutenant, he is strong in martial arts. Jiang Yu felt that his martial courage belonged to him in the entire Liangzhou, except for Ma Chao and Yan Xing.
Tianshui has only a few thousand county soldiers, and it is scattered in several counties, usually to guard against the plunder of the Qiang people.
Wang Shuang's movements were very fast, and in less than a day, all the soldiers and horses were assembled.
However, Jiang Yu was not happy, because there were less than four thousand in total. Moreover, Jiang Yu knew that the combat strength of these county soldiers was much worse than that of the Cao army.
Fortunately, Yicheng insisted, and Jiang Yu asked Wang Shuang, Jiang Xu, and Yang Fu to quickly collect various equipment for defending the city. Although his son Jiang Wei was only eleven years old, he also ran forward and behind his cousin Jiang Xu, saying that he would help his father defend the city.
Only two days later, the scout came to report, and the Cao army really appeared, with a total of 10,000 troops, and the general of the army was Zhang Hao.
When Jiang Yu heard this, his heart suddenly sank. Tianshui is not a strong city like Chen Cang, the number of enemy troops is more than twice their own, and the combat power is also very strong, this battle is not easy to fight.
"My lord... My lord..." Jiang Yu was pondering a strategy against the enemy, and Yang Fu ran in in a panic.
"Yishan
, what's the alarm?" "Sir, Zhang Hao sent three thousand soldiers and horses to occupy the
street pavilion!"
"Street Pavilion?" Jiang Yu was a little unimpressed, the street pavilion is just a small town, what is the point of occupying there?
"Sir, we have all overlooked a problem, the street pavilion is the most important thing!" Yang Fu pointed to the map, "Please see, my lord, the street pavilion can not only block the reinforcements of Jincheng, but also allow the large group of Cao Jun to bypass Chen Cang and directly reach Wuwei, Guzang and other places from Beidi County. What's more serious is that we can cut off our water source at any time, and Tianshui can no longer be guarded!" "
Huh?" Jiang Yu suddenly felt weak and slumped at the desk.
After Zhang Hao led his army to occupy the street pavilion, his hanging heart was finally put down.
More than 300 miles away, a full dozen days, the degree of difficulty can be imagined.
However, in a strategic place like Jieting, the Western Liang Army was not garrisoned, and Zhang Hao was still a little surprised when he was happy.
"Congratulations General, you have done a miraculous service for the Lord!" Deputy General Du Zhan was also very happy.
"This is all the strategizing of the lord and the military master, so that I can wait for a decisive victory!" Zhang Hao admired Jia Xu and the others, the importance of the street pavilion, he naturally saw it very clearly now.
"General, are we going to take Tianshui in one go?" asked Du Zheng.
"No!" Zhang Hao shook his head, "Tianshui is already in the bag, Zixu, give you three thousand soldiers and horses, can you hold
the street pavilion!" "Don't worry, General, the street pavilion will be foolproof!"
said Du Zhan confidently.
"Good!" So Zhang Hao allocated 3,000 soldiers and horses to Du Zheng, and then led the rest of the soldiers to slowly approach Tianshui.
After arriving outside Tianshui City, there was no siege of the city, and the 7,000-strong army was only stationed outside the east gate.
The next day, Zhang Hao led 3,000 soldiers to the city.
A centurion urged him to step forward and shouted at the head of the city.
"The city guard, come to the city head to answer!" "
I am the Tianshui guard general Jiang Yan!" Jiang Yan appeared at the battlements of the city head with his helmet on top.
"Jiang Jiao, in Tianshui City, there are few generals, if I wave my army to attack, I can break through it in an instant. If you return, you can still wait for a life, otherwise, let you chickens and dogs not stay!" said Zhang Yi loudly.
"Zhang Hao, Hugh is going rampant, watch me behead you!" Before Jiang Yi could speak, Wang Shuang was angry, "Sir, let me go out of the city and cut off the first rank of this madman
!" "No!" Jiang Yu hurriedly stopped, "Our troops are too small, and they are all county soldiers, if you go out of the city, Zhang Hao does not fight with you, wave your army and rush to kill, then the city is in danger!" "
Alas!"
Wang Shuang sighed hatefully, he also understood that what Jiang Lu said was reasonable.
Zhang Hao asked the soldiers to scold the formation, but Jiang Yu ignored it, so he waved his army to attack the city.
Jiang Yu was very well prepared, but the combat strength of the soldiers was still too poor, and he couldn't have much of the upper hand when he shot at the Cao army under the city. If it weren't for Wang Shuang's bravery, Jiang Yan, Jiang Xu, Yang Fu and others who had killed the Cao army that climbed to the head of the city several times, I am afraid that Tianshui City would have been breached within a day.
The two sides fought fiercely for nearly two hours, each suffering nearly 2,000 soldiers, and it was late before Zhang Hao sent gold to collect the troops.
At the head of Tianshui City, Jiang Yan, Wang Shuang, Jiang Xu, Yang Fu and others were directly tired and sat in a pool of blood at the head of the city.
There are only more than a thousand soldiers who can fight above the city, plus their respective guards, and some of the government soldiers who arrived in time are only more than 2,000 left.
The government soldiers were busy treating some wounded soldiers, cleaning up the city, and at the same time, carrying some equipment for defending the city.
"Sir, Tianshui City can no longer be defended, as long as Zhang Hao attacks again tomorrow, he will definitely not be able to hold it, let's withdraw!" said Yang Fu.
"We are tired and sleepy, as long as we get outside the city, we will soon be overtaken by the Cao army and the whole army will be destroyed." Jiang Yu shook his head.
"Uncle, in the city, just waiting for death, we went out of the city overnight, maybe there was a glimmer of life!"
"Let me think..." Jiang Yan frowned.
He was not afraid of dying in battle, but his son Jiang Wei was only eleven years old, and when his eldest brother was dying, he handed over his nephew Jiang Xu to him, if they all died in battle, how to face the eldest brother and face the ancestors of the Jiang family under the Nine Springs. But today's situation is a dead end.
Even if they go out of the city, Zhang Hao didn't chase them, and they couldn't cross the street pavilion
!" "Sir, I know that there is a path outside the city that leads to Di Dao, and then to Dingxi!"
Wang Shuang is a Di Dao person, a former hunter, and he is familiar with the mountain roads of this generation.
"Trail
!" "Yes, few people know!" "
Good!" Jiang Yu immediately had an idea, "Yishan, Boyi, Ziquan, take Boyo and his family, and leave the city overnight and go to Dingxi!"
"I'll stay in the city and restrain Zhang Hao!" "
No, uncle, I want to withdraw together, I want to die together!" Jiang Xu had a determined expression.
"I also want to fight Zhang Hao to the death!" Wang Shuang's eyes widened and he gritted his teeth.
"This is an order!" Jiang Yu suddenly shouted angrily, startling the three of them.
Because usually, Jiang Yu rarely loses his temper.
"Uncle..." Jiang Xu was full of tears, he lost his father at a young age, and Jiang treated him like his own child. But if you go this time, it will definitely be a parting of life and death.
"Bo Yi, if there is no one in the city to contain him, Zhang Yi will definitely find that no one will be able to leave by then.
"Sir, let me stay!" said Wang Shuang loudly.
I order, at three o'clock, the three of you take all your families and fifty soldiers and quietly evacuate Tianshui County from the West Gate, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"
