According to the distance traveled by Zhang Bao and others, they will reach the bottom of Nanxiang County in at most two days.
This city in Nanxiang County is still very strong. The last time Wu Wen and others attacked, they also suffered a lot. In the end, they were captured because of the lack of war preparation in the city.
Therefore, as soon as Wu Wen and others entered the city, they immediately vigorously prepared bows, arrows, flow stones and other defensive items.
As long as there are enough of these things, no matter how many people come, there will be no problem until these things are consumed.
Not to mention, there are so many people in the city now.
Now there are more than 10,000 people waiting for battle outside the city, 20,000 horses preparing for battle on one side, and 30,000 horses inside the city fully prepared. Even if they attack from any other city gate, the manpower will be very sufficient.
If the first batch of people coming in is small, then these 10,000 people can be directly allowed to fight.
If there are many of them, they can retreat directly into the city and close the city gates, which will make them impregnable.
During the recent period, the entire county has very sufficient food and grass. Even if a large army besieges the city, it can last for two or three months without any problem!
No matter from which angle Wu Wen looked at it, this defense was foolproof.
According to Wu Wen's current plan, Zhang Bao came to take advantage of the excitement. There is no need to fight him head-on. He only needs to hold on to the city to defeat them severely. Wait until their morale is low, and then take the opportunity to counterattack. Under the attack from both front and rear, Zhang Bao will be defeated!
At that time, not only can Zhang Bao be defeated, but he can also take the opportunity to break into Heyang County!
Once and for all!
Although Wu Wen doesn't know what Zhang Bao's combat ability is, it's still difficult to attack a city, no matter how strong your personal ability is!
He really couldn't think of any way to defeat himself.
If you think about it from another perspective, even if you have 100,000 troops, facing such a situation, you can only resist!
But when it comes to siege, no one can be absolutely sure that it can be conquered.
To attack a city by force is to die in vain.
If it takes him a few days, his morale will collapse, and withdrawal is the best way.
But Zhang Bao and the others couldn't withdraw their troops.
After all, Zhang Bao's big words have already been spoken. If he says he won't fight or fails, the consequences will be very serious for Zhang Bao.
If a state pastor just talks casually, he will probably lose all prestige in the entire Hezhou in the future.
In this way, Wu Wen waited anxiously for two days, but there was still no movement at all.
It was not until noon on the third day that Wu Wen became a little puzzled.
It stands to reason that no matter how slow the marching speed is, this time should have come.
Regarding the whereabouts of Zhang Bao and the others, although all the spies he sent had been killed and they could only spy on them from a distance, they were still able to grasp them.
The latest intelligence was from three days ago. It was clearly detected that Zhang Bao and the others were heading this way. Even if they marched at the slowest speed, they were almost there.
"Report!"
"Emergency military situation!"
At this moment, a scout hurriedly ran from a distance.
Wu Wen breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally here!
"Report!"
"grown ups!"
"Last night, Qungang County was attacked. The city was a sea of fire. General Yang was defeated and killed. Now Qungang County has been captured!"
The visitor panted and said to Wu Wen.
"What?!"
"What did you say?!"
"Qungang County?!"
"How could it be Qungang County Government?"
"what is going on?!"
Wu Wen grabbed the visitor's clothes and asked.
"No...not sure..."
"We were originally exploring the whereabouts of the Hezhou people and horses, and accidentally discovered bursts of fire coming from the direction of Qungang County House, so we went over to check. When we went there, Qungang County House was already a sea of fire, and there were still fires coming from inside.
There were bursts of voices shouting to kill.”
"The entire Qungang County is in ruins!"
The visitor said to Wu Wen.
"ah?"
After hearing what the person said, Wu Wen let go of the person in a daze.
It’s over!
Fell into a trap!
Make a sound in the east and attack in the west!
Wu Wen's heart felt cold.
I was deploying troops, laying ambushes, and reinforcing fortifications in Nanxiang County, but I didn't expect that all of this was an illusion deliberately created by Zhang Bao!
On the one hand, he ordered a group of people to walk slowly towards the Nanxiang County Mansion, leaving them all waiting stupidly. On the other hand, when no one was paying attention, they attacked Qunggang County Mansion!
If there are not 10,000 people in the Qungang County government to help him, maybe it will not be that simple for Zhang Bao to win Qungang County!
Doesn't this mean that the fall of Qungang County was precisely because of his request for help?
Is this so indifferent?
Wu Wen felt very depressed.
But that's not right. Even if Zhang Bao and others attacked Qungang County, how could they capture Qunang County so quickly and overnight?
In Qungang County, Yang Song also has 10,000 troops!
These ten thousand troops can't defend a county in one night?
I should have received the news a long time ago.
What does Yang Song do for food?!
But he knew it was too late to say anything now.
When I sent people to Songshan County to ask for reinforcements, they were rejected by the troops in Songshan County. Now that I think about it, it is very likely that Songshan County has already been captured by Zhang Bao and his friends.
When Chen Hong left Songshan County, he left only a few thousand men and horses to guard it, which was impossible to defend.
If Zhang Bao and the others were allowed to gain a firm foothold in Qunggang County, then their current Nanxiang County government would be caught in the middle. Not only had they lost support, they were even more passive.
The current plan is to take advantage of the moment when Zhang Bao and the others have just captured Qungang County, to attack with a large army and move the battlefield to Qungang County.
However, this seems to indicate that Zhang Bao and the others do not have the so-called 100,000 troops. Otherwise, how could they still need to use this strategy?
Thinking of this, Wu Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
Strength is the foundation of everything!
Now more than 60,000 people are united in one place, and they have nothing to fear!
"Someone is coming!"
"Give me the order!"
"The 10,000 men outside the city and Lu Chu's 20,000 men will attack immediately and head for Qunggang County."
"While Zhang Bao and the others have not yet established a firm foothold, take down Qunggang County Government again!"
Wu Wen shouted loudly.
"Report!"
"General Qi!"
"I found a large group of people heading here!"
"There are about 20,000 people!"
As soon as Wu Wen finished speaking, a scout hurried over again.
