Chapter five hundred and twenty first difficult battle
Before the battle, Zhang Yun, as the main general, was actually looking forward to it. Some even looked down on Wen Pin and Gan Ning. He led his army to the expedition for the first time, and was in such a major event to support Xiangyang.
Zhang Yun really wants to show himself. Once he defeats Wen Pin and Gan Ning's troops, and then supports Xiangyang like a divine weapon descending from the sky, and defeats Liu Zheng's troops, Zhang Yun will definitely change his image in Liu Biao's mind. Then Zhang Yun will not be just a general in Nanjun, but will be entrusted with important tasks by Liu Biao and become the most powerful general under Liu Biao.
Of course, these are all what Zhang Yun thought in his mind. When he really led his troops to fight Wenpin's men on the battlefield, he realized the reality.
Reality slapped him in the face, causing all his initial fantasies to be disillusioned.
He personally led an army of 20,000 to attack Wenpin's camp, and Zhang Yun had no combat experience. Although Wenpin was not very old, he followed Liu Zheng to fight north and north. Whether it was his experience in fighting against the enemy or the confrontation of troops, Wenpin was far better than Zhang Yun.
The first battle between the two armies was just one hour. Zhang Yun, who was killed by Wenpin, returned home. This was Wenpin's man. He only focused on defense and did not take fierce attacks. Zhang Yun, who killed himself, retreated.
If Zhang Yun said that he had underestimated the enemy for the first time, then the next few attacks completely made Zhang Yun realize his strength.
The defeat in Wenpin's battle made him begin to doubt his strength. On the one hand, he was angry that he could not defeat Wenpin, and on the other hand, he also had the worry that he could not support Xiangyang for a long time, which made Zhang Yun's expression even more ugly these days.
"What's the use of saying this now? What's the situation in Xiangyang is like? You and I don't know. Liu Zheng surrounded Xiangyang. Even if he didn't dare to attack the city, there were only five thousand defenders in the city, and the city could be broken at any time. You should think of a solution!"
"If Xiangyang is gone, do you think you can get rid of it? You are dead. If my uncle is gone, you, including your family, will be gone!"
Zhang Yun was obviously a little angry and shouted at Cai Mao and Kuai Yue.
Cai Mao and Kuai Yue also knew that it was Zhang Yun's uncle Liu Biao, Cai Mao's Cai family and Kuai Yue's Kuai family were all in Xiangyang. Once Xiangyang fell and fell into the hands of Liu Zheng, their situation would be quite passive.
So without Zhang Yun repeatedly stressing that Cai Mao and Kuai Yue both wanted to rush to Xiangyang as soon as possible, but they were not the ones they wanted to kill them.
Wen Pin and Gan Ning's troops were always unable to win, and they had no choice.
"At this point, we either find a way to leave, or we can only break through with all our strength. Although our troops have been greatly damaged these days, the enemy is not completely unscathed."
"According to my observation, Wenpin's subordinates were only 10,000 at first, but now they have lost more than half. Now there are at most 5,000 troops stationed. On the other side, Gan Ning, although there is no loss in the army, we choose to break through and attack Wenpin. If we gather more than 26,000 people now, we will definitely be able to fight."
"Success and failure are here. Everyone, if we can't defeat these enemy troops, it's hard for everyone to explain to my uncle."
After hearing Kuai Yue's words, Zhang Yun nodded. In his opinion, time was already undelayed. Although there were only two days left to go from Hanshou to Xiangyang, these two days have kept them from making progress here.
When Zhang Yun and Cai Mao and Kuai Yue were almost discussing, they went down to charge again, without knowing that there was already a reinforcement of more than 10,000 people from Wenpin.
As soon as Wen Pin retreated from the front line, he received news that Liu Zheng had withdrawn from Xiangyang and immediately went to meet Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng sat in the big tent, waiting for Wen Pin to come. As soon as Wen Pin came in, he first saw Cai Yao and immediately felt happy.
"Sister Cai Yao!"
Among the many generals under Liu Zheng, Wenpin is the closest to Cai Yao, because Cai Yao once worked as a professor in the military school for a period of time, and Wenpin is a student in the military school and he met Cai Yao the most. In addition, he had a little respect for Cai Yao, so the first time he met Cai Yao was a surprise.
After all, Cai Yao has disappeared for so long and suddenly appears again. After meeting her for so long, she always feels a little surprised.
Cai Yao held the child in her hand and couldn't say anything more to Wenpin. She just nodded and answered Wenpin.
Liu Zheng started asking.
"Wenpin, thank you for your hard work. I'll help me stop Cai Mao and others here. This is yours."
Wen Pin immediately said modestly when Liu Zheng praised this.
"Wenpin dared not take credit. These were all well arranged by General Ganning. It was a place chosen by General Ganning as an ambush point, so that Cai Mao's men could not pass through here and went to support Xiangyang."
Liu Zheng was right when he thought about it. Gan Ning was originally a thief near Dongting Lake, and he must have known the terrain nearby. In addition, Su Fei, who was under Gan Ning, also knew very well about Dongting Lake. When the two came here, they were as familiar with it as they were when they went home. Not to mention finding a place to ambush Cai Mao and others, it would be no problem to fight guerrilla wars with Cai Mao here.
"Gan Ning also has made contributions. You are together. This time, I can help me bring Cai Yao back from Xiangyang. You have made the most contributions. Next, I will deal with Cai Mao and others."
"You can do it for the time being, but Changsha County must be taken. If Changsha is captured, it means that most of Jingzhou will be included in our hands. Relying on these three states, we have the capital to compete for the world."
Liu Zheng said to Gan Ning and Wen Pin. When the two of them heard what Liu Zheng said about fighting for the world, they immediately became interested, and their eyes were lit up at the moment.
"Don't worry, lord, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others are now surrounded by us, and we can go over and destroy them at any time."
"Just wait for them to die, the soldiers and horses in Changsha City can only descend upon the wind."
Gan Ning was frank and reported the current situation directly to Liu Zheng.
