Chapter 437: The Pillar of the Army(1/2)

After the bloody battle at Changban and the defeat of Cao Ren's elite troops, he retreated northward quickly and did not dare to defend the front line of defense in order to boost morale.

Facing the approaching Jingzhou army with great momentum.

The county defenders could already feel the strong and oppressive murderous aura in the air.

This is the suppressive power of the Jingzhou Army that defeated Cao's army head-on.

The victory at Nagasaka has completely lifted the fighting spirit of this army.

Especially when Guan Ping and Liao Hua led the front troops to launch an offensive against Bian County.

The military morale of the various units under his command was once again rising.

On the contrary, the guards stationed in Bian County gradually felt a little wary in their hearts!

That night.

Just as General Guan Yu and others led the Chinese army to arrive, military discussions were held in the camp on how to launch an attack on the only stronghold that blocked our advance to Xiangyang City.

At this moment, the soldiers at the head of the county town and on the front line of defense seemed to be troubled and unable to sleep at night.

Some of the night watchmen couldn't help but lean on the city wall, leaning on their weapons, and each said:

"Today's Jingzhou Army's offensive is so fierce. Brothers, do you think we can really stop it?"

"Well, even though I don't want to admit it, I'm worried."

"I heard that the enemy troops attacking the city during the day are just the front of the enemy army. If the main force is gathered together."

"I think with the current defense of the county, it will be difficult to withstand it for a few days."

"Yes! Even General Cao tried to lead his elite soldiers south to repel the invading enemy troops, but he was defeated in one fell swoop."

"The general's men are elites brought from the north. They are so powerful that they cannot defeat the Jingzhou Army, let alone us."

A series of words.

All the soldiers had a look of deep melancholy on their cheeks at this moment.

Their hearts are completely confused now...

The day before, seeing the main force of our troops evacuating in a hurry, the general Cao Ren only restrained them in words and ordered them to guard the important areas of the county.

But after giving the instructions, he continued to return north with his troops without stopping.

At that time, the generals were all looking north in a hurry, and the guards were already incited.

Today we faced another massive attack from the front of the Jingzhou Army.

They just feel the intense pressure coming towards them!

Not even the main force can compete with it.

Is it possible to rely on their group of pawns who have been away from the battlefield for a long time to defend it?

In particular, the fierce combat power displayed by the Jingzhou soldiers who formed formations to attack during the day left a deep impression on them.

When the soldiers talked about it at this time, their expressions couldn't help but change after hearing it.

The fighting spirit has also dropped to its lowest point.



Early the next morning.

It’s the season of August.

The hot summer has completely arrived.

In the early morning, the warm sun was slowly rising in the east, slowly revealing his smiling face.

And outside the county's defense line.

One after another, military formations were clearly established.

In the battle formation, the fighting spirit was high and the flags were flying.

After having breakfast, various units of the Jingzhou Army lined up in the open space to meet the enemy.

This news was spread without any hassle.

The county garrison had no time to hesitate, so they had to rush everyone to guard the defense lines.

When the guards unconsciously raised their heads and looked at the enemy formation outside the city, most of the soldiers swallowed unconsciously.

Feel this extremely fierce aura.

The battle hasn't even started yet, but they are already a little timid.

The next second.

Under Guan Yu's supervision, in order to cultivate his son Guan Ping's commanding ability, he led his troops to launch an offensive.

Facing his father's arrangements.

The middle-aged Guan Ping, who is already over thirty years old, certainly understands his father's intentions.

He then decisively accepted the order.

Then, while in the battle formation, instructions were passed down one after another.

In the military formation, there were also flags waving continuously.

The generals and commanders received their orders one after another and went down to lead their troops to attack.

"Roar……"

"Kill and kill, seize the county, and march to Xiangyang."

In an instant, roars all around the battlefield seemed to resound through the sky, and the sound of killing shook the sky!

With the close cooperation of soldiers from one department to the other, the attack was carried out.

The morale of today's county garrison is already unstable.

The defensive pressure we now face is increasing day by day.

The battle has only lasted for most of the battle.

There are already gaps in the county defense line.

Members of the Jingzhou Army had already climbed to the top of the city, holding a round shield in one hand and a sword in the other to fight with them.

In hand-to-hand combat, there is almost no suspense.

Cao Jun was killed and retreated steadily!

In addition, a steady stream of soldiers are still climbing onto the city along the ladder cars that have been built.

The gap is completely opened.

As time goes by, the fall of the county is a foregone conclusion.

Next, it's a question of how much time it takes.

General Guan Yu, who was sitting on the general platform at the rear and overlooking the battle situation from a high position, saw that within a moment, the overall situation had been decided, and a joyful smile appeared on his red cheeks.

Although the combat power of the county garrison is indeed limited, there is an essential gap between it and the various departments of our own army.

But from the perspective of the formation of troops and the coordination between various types of troops in the siege.

Guan Ping's current command is remarkable and orderly.

This was what made him beam with joy at this moment.

"The major general's commanding ability is extraordinary!"

"In my opinion, although he is not as experienced in using troops as the monarch, he is quite capable!"

"Yes, the Major General can be called a good general."

For a moment, Wang Fu saw the smile on Guan Yu's face. At this moment, he also raised his hands and smiled, praising him in due course.

After hearing this, other people watching the battle also agreed.

Hear the generals' praise and recognition of his son.

Guan Yu was already happy in his heart.

The expression on his face also became more intense.

After all, it has been many years since the governor-general of Jingzhou.

Whenever there is a war, Guan Ping must be kept by his side.

In ordinary times, he would explain military strategies and tactics to them.

And personally experience him in battle.

Now I'm looking at his son's military success, and given his character, I'm very happy.

Guan Yu knew that he was already fifty-six years old.

We don’t have many years left to fight, and we know that the ideal of supporting the Han Dynasty will eventually be passed on to the next generation.
To be continued...
