Vol 2 Chapter 365: Breath of war

It ’s better to stay at home, cool in winter and cool in summer!
Liu Yi shrunk in his quilt, holding a bamboo stick in one hand and looking at the latest information. He felt helpless in his heart. The manpower of Xinye City was sent by him to repair the city wall or make crossbow arrows. Even if there is free manpower, this time Building a house to satisfy selfish desires is somewhat unreasonable.
When the coach is not good at this point, he can lead by example and share the same pains with his subordinates, especially when the environment is bad. There is no reason, just to take care of the emotions of his subordinates, which is why Liu Yi does not like to lead soldiers. , Suffer!
"Tinghou, Tan Malai, Cao Jun's 3rd Army is converging towards Xinye. In addition, there are a large number of Cao Jun assembled in Wancheng direction. The total strength is not less than 50,000!" Liao Hua looked at Liu Yi with a solemn expression.
"Five thousand?" Liu Yi shook his head: "You too underestimate Cao Cao."
"What's the answer?" Liao Hua looked at Liu Yi puzzled.
"Don't you find out, Cao Ren's army is bigger and more, and the same is true in several other battlefields." Liu Yi sighed, he discovered this problem when Cao Ren attacked the city yesterday.
According to the initial information, Cao Caobing sent three roads, and the three road troops were all 10,000 horses. After so many days of fighting, the two sides suffered each other's losses, but Cao Ren's soldiers and horses were more.
Of course, it is also possible that the defeated soldiers in other directions were taken by Cao Ren, but according to intelligence, the main forces of the other two routes of the Cao Army did not appear to be reduced.
That is to say, Cao Cao quietly added troops to the front line through some small means, without being aware of Liu Beijun's intelligence personnel.
"Cao Cao can actually mobilize a lot of troops." Liu Yi breaks his fingers and counts: "Cao Cao is different from us and has a great career. Although he has as many places to use troops, if he is willing to squeeze, he will definitely be able to squeeze out some, such as When talking about Luoyang's soldiers and horses, Xu Chang can also draw some of them, and I won't talk about it any further. Cao Cao can't be adjusted in such a short time, but at present, Cao Jun's soldiers and horses are probably no less than 100,000.
"One hundred thousand?" Liao Hua looked at Liu Yi with some shock.
"Cao Cao has come to Nanyang to start preparations, and certainly wants to retake Xiangyang. You don't really think that Nanyang only has those forty or fifty thousand soldiers?" Liu Yi looked at Liao Hua in surprise, shaking his head and laughing.
Liao Hua felt a little bit depressed, how much force did Liu Bei invest in Nanyang? If Xiangyang came out, it would be 30,000 if he was full, and with the reinforcements sent from the upper direction, it would be good to be 50,000. For further, Liu Bei could not adjust it for a while, that is to say, the strength of Cao Jun, at this moment They are twice or more.
Although it is said that the number of battles between the two armies may not necessarily determine the final victory or defeat, it is undeniable that the number of them can often take advantage of it.
"What kind of expression is this?" Looking at Liao Hua, Liu Yi lost his smile and said: "Don't do that, we have our advantage."
Liao Hua smiled bitterly: "Is Tinghou talking about geography?"
"This is just one of them. Cao Cao is equivalent to an expedition in Nanyang. The logistics supply is not as good as that from Guanzhong to Hanzhong. However, Cao Cao has been operating here for several months. The food and grass problem is not fatal. It is not even a problem." Liu Yi shook his head. Nanyang is a good enclave, but this enclave is not far away, and Nanyang also has a certain supply capacity, so this problem is not a problem.
"The key lies in people's hearts!" Liu Yi narrowed his eyes. He didn't quite understand Pang Tong's plan at first, but when he arrived in Nanyang, he understood that Pang Tong never thought of winning Cao Cao completely on the frontal battlefield. His purpose, It is the back of boss Cao, or the family of Nanyang.
Cao Cao was really unpopular in Nanyang. Xinye Ling ran to Chaoyang. Then Li Gang chose to surrender without saying a word. Although Chaoyang is stuck and unable to stay for a long time, Li Gang chose to surrender so easily, and Chaoyang soldiers and civilians There is almost no resistance, and it is enough to prove how unpopular Cao Cao is in this land.
Looking at Liao Hua's ignorant face, he noticed that he shook his head and waved: "Come down and rest, Cao Jun will not come tonight to attack, the soldiers of the army will be able to arrive tomorrow, you are ready!"
"Hello!" Liao Hua bowed his head and left.
Liu Yi put down his bamboo slips and lay down under the covers. His mentality has also been practiced over the years. The sky collapsed and he could fall asleep quickly when he should sleep.
There was no talk overnight, and there was news from the whistleblowers the next morning that Guan Yu had already led the army stationed in Chaoyang. Wu Ban ’s soldiers and horses could arrive at noon. In addition, other three groups of horses and horses were also gathering here. Guan Ping's team is slightly further away.
After the decisive battle was completed, Liu Yi immediately ordered people to rush to Xiangyang to inform Liu Bei, and let Liu Bei, Pang Tong and others come to Xinye as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation.
"Bo Yuan is building the city again?" Guan Yu ordered Wu Ban to defend the city after Wu Ban's soldiers arrived in Chaoyang. He rushed to Xinye with his men and looked at a busy scene of Xin Ye. Guan Yu was a little funny, like Liu Every time Yi fought a war and captured the city, the first thing he did was to build the city. This was also the case when he fought against Cao Ren and Li Dian in Xiangyang. He built three acropolises first, and then the battles started in the rear. Those three acropolises did help. Busy.
"Good." Liao Hua heard and smiled and nodded: "After Tinghou captured Xinye, he hired a large number of soldiers and civilians to repair the city defense, but this new city wall must be usable. According to Tinghou, it will take at least one month. "
It's pretty fast.
Guan Yu nodded and heard that he had personally experienced the construction of Xiangyang. He knew that this city wall was troublesome to build, especially Liu Yi also likes to set up various fortification agencies on the city wall. One month has been considered a good speed.
The new city wall is less than three feet high, one foot higher than the original city wall. Xinye is a small city after all, and the current situation is unlikely to give Liu Yi time to build a higher city wall, but the three-foot high city wall, Already able to stop the enemy.
Guan Yu quickly found Liu Bei in Tiangongfang, who made new armored crossbows. These armored crossbows were different from the armored crossbows made of rough wood before. They were basically made of copper with some flexible hardwood. The materials used are very expensive, and they are ready to be erected on the walls of the new city.
If the Broken Army Crossbow is made with the best materials, the weight is not light. There is no way to put it wherever you want to put it like the previous Broken Army Crossbow. Generally, after it is made, it will be directly fixed on the city wall.
"Congratulations to Bo Yuan, another achievement!" Guan Yu looked at Liu Yi, a little smile on his smiling face.
"Before the Xinye Ling and Xinye Lieutenant had surrendered, how could they be credited?" Liu Yi laughed. "As for the siege, that is the merit of frugality. I dare not be greedy."
Liu Yi compared the design drawings, handed the drawings to the workers, and greeted Guan Yudao: "How many soldiers and horses are there under the command of the military?"
"Thanks to Bo Yuan's weapons and armor!" The lieutenant general who followed Guan Yu laughed: "This time our army defeated Cao Jun five times and beheaded more than 4,000. Our army still has more than 2,400 soldiers today!"
Speaking of which, many of the generals present were quite excited and proud. In this battlefield, although the two sides have won each other, but Guan Yu, a man of this kind, has been able to fight through the thorns and be brave. After the killing, Cao Jun was almost Seeing Guan Yu's banner, he ran.
Liu Yi nodded. This time, the equipment led by Guan Yu was no less than the one brought by Liu Yi. In addition, the relevant Yu personally led the battle, and the fighting power was naturally extraordinary. They were not all Cao Jun. The Thousands team even encountered Cao Jun's main force, and the opponent who was still killed could not be defeated.
Guan Yu does have reasons for pride in the battle of united soldiers. This record can be seen by comparing the ratio of casualties between Liao Hua and Liao Hua. Of course, there are also different styles in it. Guan Yu was the kind of general who was victorious during the war. With the well-equipped and well-trained Xiangyang generals, there is no problem with combat effectiveness.
"Cao Jun and Cao Cao from Yuyang, Rang County, Ganyang and Cao Cao are all gathering here. According to the current information, there are only 80,000 people in Cao Jun who are now known!" Liu Yi nodded and pulled As Guan Yu arrived in the hall, where a sand table had already been placed, Liu Yi looked at Guan Yudao with a solemn expression: "In terms of strength, our army is far behind!"
There are many soldiers in Cao Cao, which is recognized. Liu Bei wants to keep his strength on the same level as Cao Cao on the battlefield in Nanyang. It is only possible to raise Zhao Yun, Mi Fang and Wen Employment Office in the rear of Jingzhou. There is only the Shu Army, but it will definitely not be able to catch up in a while.
Guan Yu heard the words but didn't take it seriously: "Wuhe's public, I will go to the army and call for the battle tomorrow!"
This is also Guan Yu's better style of play. Moreover, the armor and weapons equipped by the Jingzhou Army are all first-class. Even if the number suffers, Guan Yu is confident of killing the enemy. , Destined to be Guan Yu's battle of Yang Ming.
"Fortunately ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Liu Yi thought about it and thought it was right. Cao Jun has not fully assembled yet. At this time, the sharpness of killing Cao Jun is indeed good, and Liu Yi joined Liu Beijun. For many years, Guan Yu was still seeing him for the first time. He also wanted to see what kind of ability Guan Erye, who was almost mythical, would look at Guan Yu ’s arm and said: "It's just the lord's injury ..."
Although it was already a hundred days before Hua Tuo said, but during the Three Kingdoms period, there were more generals who had relapsed and died of arrow ulcers. If Guan Yu entered the battlefield and the arrow ulcers recurred, the joke would be big.
"It's already alright!" Guan Yu waved his arm and exclaimed a little: "That Hua Tuo really does not suffer from the name of Divine Doctor, I heard that he is going to the fishing village now?"
"Huh." Liu Yi nodded and said: "I asked him to recruit some disciples at Yuxiang Academy and pass on that medical technique."
"It's so good!" Guan Yu nodded while touching his beard. "That feather will not be bothered, and tomorrow morning, he will raise his troops out of the city!"
"I also want to be a prince of grace." Liu Yi smiled and sent Guan Yu out of the workshop. He was really looking forward to Guan Yu's performance on the battlefield tomorrow.
