Tactics to me!

[ann]

One afternoon in May the guard on duty at Jiangling woke from a pleasant nap to find an army approaching. How he missed the sounds of the thousands is unknown - nor is it known how everyone else in the city managed to overlook this noise. However, when he finally rubbed the sleep from his eyes and was sure that he was no longer dreaming he began to sound the alarm.

Ding Sheng rushed back and forth ordering this and that. Shuang Qiupeng, who had been drinking in the tavarn, boasted that he would beat back the force alone. Rou Huo, who had been engaged in a heated but enjoyable argument about some minor point of disagreement with a close friend hurried out to examine the forces. He was disheartened immediately but, seeing the foolish Shuang rushing about drunkenly, rolled his eyes and said, "Well why don't you just do that!"

Shuang, never one to back down to a challenge when drunk, rushed out of the city and demanded that the enemy present a commander to fight him immediately! He stumbled and fell and none of the officers in the approaching force elected to meet him. The invading men were somewhat disheartened by their officers refusal to fight. (-3 moral attackers)


Niu Zuan, worried about the supply lines in a new province arranged for escorts ((you had a road directly there however)). Tie Chu gathered some men and tasked them with interfering with the defenders own supplies however they fail. Guan Huang, seeing how ill prepared the defenders were, rode out with a special crack force and put on a display of martial skill. The men of Jiangling were duly intimidated. Tu San assisted the melee layer while Zhu Fang failed to get his orders through.

For the defenders, Ding Shen hurriedly mustered the men. Rou Huo led his men out to fashion some entrenchments.

There was much bloodshed during the day. Very quickly the defenders of Jiangling focused entirely on restoring order to their lines of command and were badly hampered by the failure of their command structure. However soon this became a problem for the attacking force as well. But, though it was a problem, they were still clearly ahead. The defenders were badly disheartened and even the drunken antics of their officers could not distract the men of Jiangling from the thought of their inevitable defeat.

[ann]

After an all to brief respite which allowed both forces to re-establish their lines of communication the battle raged again. Deng Ka mustered the men and Tu San provided assistance to the melee layer. Guan Huang made some more demonstrations of strength which further intimidated the enemy. The people in Jiangling had stopped watching. Instead they were at home getting water ready in case the invaders from Changsha meant to burn down their homes as well as kill their men.

The defenders battle strategy fell completely to pieces and all the energy of the officers was focused on trying to get thier men to understand and relay commands. It was a lost cause however. Before they had managed to make any headway the men scattered and ran leaving the officers to be captured!
