Chapter 24 Liangzhou Army Battles Hongnong City (2)
In that case, the commander who led troops to attack the city (Guang) or led his soldiers to defend the city (Guang) could only avoid his attack and let his soldiers go. Isn’t that the case? In the case of Jingzhou, Huo Jun just dealt with the Liangzhou army like this. So now Man Chong must be like this, otherwise, he himself knew how he would be Zhang Ren’s opponent in these two moves? It’s not that he belittled himself or raised others, but that’s really the same level.
Yes. So Man Chong has always been like this. After all, he doesn't have Xu Huang's martial arts skills. Otherwise, he would never say he should avoid anything when facing Zhang Ren. But this martial arts is not as good as humans, so it can only be like this. Otherwise, what else can it do? Well, Man Chong naturally has his own plans, and is not as good as the other generals who are not as good as the other party's martial arts.
If Zhang Ren comes up, he can only avoid his attack for the time being, mainly to lead his soldiers to besiege him, rather than to say that he will fight with him. He is very clear that if he fights with Zhang Ren, he will definitely not be his opponent in just a few rounds. Fortunately, he has so many people on his side, so Zhang Ren can't find him at all, so he has already asked his soldiers to besiege him.
Attacking, this is Man Chong's plan. Of course, Zhang Ren's first tentative attack was launched, especially in Hongnong City, where the troops had been reduced, he really couldn't get any advantage. Yes, Man Chong might be inferior to him in many places, this is right, but at least this city is not as good as this one. Not only is he experienced, but Man Chong himself is also willing to defend the city. In fact, compared to leading troops to fight, Man Chong would rather let his lord defend the city. Because he doesn't have that much time to lead troops to fight,
If you defend the city, you have it, that's it. Man Chong still attaches great importance to the issue of time. If you don't usually have an enemy army to defend the city, then he has a lot of time at other times. Even if he became the leader of Hongnong, he still has a lot of time. But Man Chong knew that if he was following his lord, he might not be able to be so free now.
I am idle. After all, none of the people around my lords are relaxed, and none of them are idle. The key is that if you are idle, your lord cannot let you go. But you said that I am taking a break from my busy schedule. Even if I am lazy, my lord can't see it. So... if you compare this, Man Chong would choose to stay outside instead of following his lords.
Bian'er. Of course, when it comes to making meritorious service, Man Chong thinks that as long as you have the ability, he will make meritorious service in the end, right? So for Man Chong, there are so many benefits for him to be outside, so why don't you choose to stay outside instead of your lord? As a result, he was sent by Cao Cao to Hongnong. Cao Cao also knows that Man Chong mostly likes to stay in counties and counties instead of letting him do other things. If Man Chong, you can let him go.
It's not that bad, but Cao Cao knew that the other party didn't like being by his side. So Cao Cao had tricked him to Hongnong, and he thought that the place was quite suitable for Man Chong. As a result, it turned out that it was actually true. Anyway, Man Chong was in Hongnong, and he thought it was good, so until now. Man Chong led his soldiers to resist the attack of Zhang Ren's troops. He also knew it.
It is said that today is just a test for the Liangzhou Army. But looking at this, their soldiers performed really well. Even though Man Chong was hostile to them, he still agreed with the Liangzhou Army in his heart. Although he was dealing with the Liangzhou Army, Man Chong had never underestimated them. Instead, he still evaluated them objectively. He could say that his understanding of the Liangzhou Army was definitely quite good, which was inevitable. And what else should he say? That is, Man Chong actually made a lot of preparations for this battle.
Just by looking at him shrinking his troops in Hongnong, it is not difficult to know. In order to fight Ma Chao's main force in Hongnong City, he has indeed prepared a lot and waited a lot. Man Chong hoped that Ma Chao would bring the army to come quickly, but he didn't want them to be so fast. After all, if he came quickly, he could face them as soon as possible. But if he came quickly, it also means that his defense line was broken at once. They were out of power, and then they drove straight in, so this was not actually what he wanted.
So they come early and have the benefits of coming sooner. If they come late, they will naturally have the benefits of coming late. Therefore, in Man Chong's opinion, no matter what it looks like in the end, he actually thinks about it better. In fact, that's the case. Man Chong seems to be a relatively optimistic person, otherwise he would not have thought so, but this matter is still like this when he thinks about it. Now,
The test of the day is just a piece of cake for Man Chong, and it is really not challenging for him. After all, Hongnong City is the Hongnong Gate, and because he has reduced his troops, there are so many guards in the city now, so he can still be afraid of the attack of the Liangzhou Army. It is still a test, and it does not pose any threat to them at all. For Man Chong and Yanzhou Army, it is a little bit of a message.
It was just that they didn't think it was anything, really. At this time, both sides were shouting and killing, but no matter how loud the sound was, it would not have any effect. After all, one was just a test, and the other was too fierce to defend, and it was definitely first-class. Therefore, the Liangzhou army could get any advantage under the city. In Man Chong's opinion, if the Liangzhou army attacked like this every day, then our side might not be unable to defend the city, but obviously, this was just a dream. The Liangzhou army had a test.
So ruthless, then they officially attacked, so what? But Man Chong still believed that he could take his soldiers to resist, just like now... Zhang Ren thought it was OK when he saw the attack situation today. Although it was just a tentative attack, "It can be seen from the sight of the leopard." It is not difficult to see the strength of the Yanzhou army in Hongnong City from here.
I think that the Yanzhou army here seems to be stronger than the ones on Xu Huang's side. It's so strong that they are not in the state. Although not everyone is in the state now, it's not much different. That's it. So in Zhang Ren's opinion, does this mean that the people in Hongnong City are more powerful than those on Hangu Pass? In any case, Zhang Ren's opinion, this is true.
Zhang Ren continued to contribute to his own temptation, and Ma Chao was about to withdraw his troops. In fact, he couldn't see that even Zhang Ren did his best, he might not be able to get up today. It was not easy to get up to the city. He couldn't even get up without temptation, so let alone this first time was just a temptation, right? And Ma Chao didn't know that Zhang Ren was already very tired now, so he said that he had done nothing and was not easy to watch the battle later, so let alone him.
The state of the soldiers on his side was also because of his fatigue, so they are now gradually starting to lose their state. This is the worst for Ma Chao, so it is not wrong to say that if the soldiers are withdrawing their troops now, it is not wrong. So after a while, Ma Chao asked the soldiers to withdraw their troops. For him, it is actually meaningless to attack him, so it is better to speak early.
Jin, it's better to have a rest early. When Zhang Ren heard that he was Mingjin's withdrawal, he could only lead his troops to retreat. Yes, of course he knew that even if he continued to lead troops to attack other people's cities, he would not be able to go up in the end. So at this time, Ma Chao's thought of Jin was not wrong. Anyway, if he was him, Mingjin would withdraw his troops at this time. After all, if he continues to fight now, he has already
There is no big meaning, at least today is the case. Tomorrow and tomorrow's war are more intense and tragic
一. Man Chong, who was on the city wall, saw the Liangzhou army withdrawing his camp, knew that even if their temptation was over today, tomorrow, a fierce offensive and defensive battle began. It can be said that how long he had been waiting for this day, really, from Ma Chao to Hangu Pass, he had been preparing until they came. Speaking of which, Man Chong was not afraid of anything, even if he didn't think he was stronger than Zhang Ren, that is, in a certain aspect, he could be better than the other person, and in other places, he was not stronger than the other party.
The so-called "the soldiers come to block the generals, and the water comes to cover the earth." Since their Liangzhou army has come to attack, of course they have to bring troops to fight them. Speaking of which, they have reduced their troops, and now there are more people in Hongnong City than before, so what are I afraid of them? It should be said that they should be more concerned about them, not themselves. After all, there are wars on their own side, and they are in a state of mind.
Gods and other things are good, so this... After seeing the Liangzhou army return to the camp, Man Chong reminded the soldiers on the city to go back to the city. For him, he would go back and rest for a while. At this time, he didn't have to be on top. It would be no big deal if he came back later. Of course, Man Chong didn't think that the Liangzhou army would come back today, so it would be meaningless for them to come back again.
So even if he is Ma Chao, he will not be like that. And what else do you have to say? That is, he really needs to take a good rest at this time, which is better than anything else. Then come to the city wall, and then just patrol a few times, then go back and forth, and go back and forth. In fact, although Man Chong doesn't think he has to be on the city wall, he also thinks that if he can be on the city wall, he should try to be on the city wall, which is definitely better. Unless he says he is too tired and needs a good rest, then let others replace him.
It's not impossible to rest on the city, but it's not impossible. After all, the Liangzhou army really comes to attack again, and it's not time to react. It can be said that I can reach the city soon, so what are you afraid of? It's really not afraid of anything, I have time to prepare something, so I'm actually not at the city, and it's not a big deal. After all, he's not not
I know that the chief general who guarded the city and the pass did not say that every one was at the top of the city day and night (closed). Isn't that kidding? There is no such thing, they are all replacing the duty. It is not that they are not here, but that they are there in time. At this time they are there, then other times, they are no longer there. And at this time they are not here, so for a while, you can see them in.
So Man Chong also went to rest, but he would come back soon. After all, he was still on the top of the city, so he was the most at ease. He felt that the others were unreliable and could not count on him. If he had said that his lord trusted him so much and gave Hongnong to him, it would be unreasonable if he didn't do his best. Although there was no war in these few years, this was not important. What's important is that he had actually rested for a long time, which was great. Now that Ma Chao is here to attack, he will meet again.
Their Liangzhou Army has been an old opponent that they have not seen for many years. Really, Man Chong doesn't say that he really misses the Liangzhou Army, but he knows that this old opponent has been missing for several years. He is indeed a little uncomfortable. In the past, he definitely deals with him frequently, but he hasn't had much contact for several years. Now at the beginning, he is still a little bit unfamiliar at that time.
But at this time, after running in for so long, it can be said that both sides have been used to it. Whether it is the Liangzhou Army or the Yanzhou Army, they are both the same, they are used to it. In his central army tent, Ma Chao said to everyone: "Everyone, today I saw the enemy's formation. Indeed, this time is even more difficult than the last time I was at Hangu Pass!" Ma Chao said in one sentence directly
It's even harder than Hangu Pass. Of course, he wouldn't think that Man Chong is stronger than Xu Huang, that's impossible. After all, the latter is a general, and the former is still far from it. But Ma Chao didn't see that. He saw too many people guarding Hongnong City now. This is the biggest problem and what he thought was the most difficult. So in the end, Ma Chao told everyone this, he said it was much easier to deal with than the last time, so... when everyone heard it, they naturally saw something, but
Their lord said it so clearly. They knew that it seemed that their lord really had encountered a tough problem. In fact, when they thought about it, Hongnong is indeed more people than Hangu Pass in the current situation, so they really dare not neglect and dare not take it lightly. Speaking of which, Xu Huang, a 10,000 people, plus a month of food and grass, dragged his side to the next one.
Months, of course, this is because their food and grass are not good, otherwise Xu Huang might not have to delay it until when. Now that he is full of petty forces, they do not think that the other party is still poor food and grass.
