Chapter 786 (2/2)
Jiangzhou, located near Chongqing today, is an important town of Yizhou, and the natural guardian of Jiangzhou is also a famous general in Sichuan.
In Jiangzhou county government office, a well-dressed old general is sitting on the throne. He is about 40 years old and has a strong body. He is Yan Yan, a famous general in Sichuan.
”Where has that jaw led the army?”
He opened his mouth to question, the next white faced captain replied: ”Zhang jaw has led the army down the river, straight to the Pingdu.”
”It's so fast.”
A yellow face exclaimed.
Those with white faces are thunder copper, and those with yellow faces are called Wu Lan. They are all captains under Yan Yan's command. They are quite brave.
”It's said that this jaw is a famous general under Liu Ye, who has experienced many battles and deserves the reputation.”
Yan Yan pondered for a while and ordered: ”order Pingdu garrison to withdraw from the city, burn up the city's grain and grass, and go to Fuling.”
”I will personally supervise the army to Fuling. I must keep the army and horses under Zhang jaw out of Fuling City.” Yan Yan shouts.
Jiangzhou is the center of Bajun county. Yan Yan's heart can't let Zhang jaw come to the door. He simply leads his troops to Fuling and resists the enemy outside the country.
Yan Yan took a look at Lei Tong and Wu Lan, and thought that Lei Tong was more cautious, but Wu Lan was reckless, so he said: ”Lei copper led 3000 troops to garrison Jiangzhou, and would have personally sent 10000 troops to Fuling.”
”Here it is
Yan Yan orders to go down, Wu Lan and thunder copper two will go down to prepare respectively.
At this time, Zhang jaw has led the army to break the city of Linjiang and go south along the river.
Zhang Xi led the 15000 army, which was overwhelming. In order to deal with the invasion of Liangzhou army, the Yizhou army assembled its troops. In some small counties, only a few hundred people were stationed, even some Ding Zhuang. Naturally, they were taken down without any effort, which led to some pride among the subordinates. It seems that these Yizhou armies are not so powerful.However, Zhang jaw, as a general, was very cautious from beginning to end. After all, it was an objective battle. If he was careless, his previous achievements would be wasted. What's more, Zhang jaw's character was very serious, so there was no big mistake.
The 15000 strong army marched along the river like a long dragon. It was cool and convenient to get water. Tens of thousands of troops, both food and drinking water, are very important. In history, there is no lack of a large army which was defeated due to lack of water.
For example, during the Jieting war, the Shu army led by Ma Su was cut off by Zhang jaw because the solitary army was stationed on the mountain, and was defeated completely. In the spring and Autumn period, Duke Huan of Qi respected the king to fight against the barbarians, and led the Allied forces of the princes to fight against the barbarians in the north. He once lacked water in the mountains and ordered the soldiers to dig for tens of meters before getting water.
Zhang Maxi was riding on his horse, slowly moving forward. He saw a horse galloping back in front of him, with an excited look on his face.
”Zhang Zhennan, Zhang Zhennan!”
The cavalry said, ”the garrison of Pingdu City was afraid of the power of our army and surrendered by opening all the gates.”
”What?”
Zhang jaw was surprised and pleased. Naturally, he didn't need to say much about it, but he was surprised to find that there was fraud in it. Why did the enemy take the initiative to open the gate? Is it not that there was ambush in the city for a long time, but in fact there was fraud?
”Order the front troops not to enter until Ben arrives!”
After Zhang jaw gave the order, he urged the central army and the rear army to speed up their march and run towards the capital city of Pingdu.
