Vol 2 Chapter 359: The opening of the war

.., back to ancient times as a of craftsmanship
Worried that Xiangyang's soldiers and horses had been decided long ago, and since he decided to send troops, then the soldiers were very expensive, and Guan Yu took the men and horses directly to attack Deng County.
Deng County is considered a waste city. The city walls are not high. Before Xiangyang City was built, the contest between Guan Yu and Cao Ren and Li Dian was basically started here. The people in the city had already walked for a long time. The rest Yes, when Cao Cao arrived in Nanyang, it was designated as a battlefield and was moved away, so it is basically an empty city at the moment. It does not require much effort to attack, but it has to stay.
However, Liu Bei was not in a hurry to start. He was planning to go to Xinye with Liu Yi. Once Liu Yi was relatively safe, and secondly, he was going to set up the frontline headquarters here. Liu Bei would not wait until Liu Yi captured Xinye. set off.
But the generals around him are gone, and Liu Bei is somewhat uneasy about Zhou Cang coming to guard Xiangfan.
Do n’t look at the people like Wu Ban and Zhang Yi brought by Liu Bei who are not well-known, but they are all good at leading troops, but Zhou Cang ... is a brave general, and he is also good at fighting, but when it comes to unification ... The most is to help Guan Yu lead the hundreds of school knifemen.
Even if Liu Yi is very confident in Xiangyang's defense, Liu Bei does not, only 5,000 people. If Cao Cao touches a large number of people and breaks into Xiangyang, it will be difficult for Liu Bei to fight back.
"Bo Yuan, Zhou Cang is really no problem?" Liu Bei took Liu Yi's hand uncomfortably. The military unit work was done by Liao Hua. Liu Yi had his own car. He was used to enjoying it. , But when you are not exercising, you can earn a step less.
"Relax, I have confidence in my city." Liu Yi pointed to Xiangyang City Road: "With the defense of Xiangyang City, even if Zhou Cang does nothing, closing the city gate, Cao Jun would not be easy to climb in. . "
This is true.
Liu Beiwen nodded his head. The ten-foot-high city wall, not to mention the cloud ladder, ordinary ladders are so long, people may directly crush the ladder to the middle.
"This city gate is extremely strong!" Liu Yi smiled: "I'll tell Zhou Cang a few words to be safe!"
Liu Bei nodded and ordered Zhou Cang to be called.
Liu Yi patted Zhou Cang's sturdy shoulder and said, "General Zhou, do you know how to use these fortification equipment?"
"Tinghou rest assured, these days, I have already learned." Zhou Cang nodded, a little excited, bursting the crossbow machine, the rod throwing machine, the machine lock that specially throws the wood stone, and the oil that can evenly spread the rolling oil. Oil leak, with these things, he even has a feeling that he can't wait to let Cao Jun attack.
"That's fine." Liu Yi nodded and said, "When I leave, I have a few good words, maybe a bit harsh, but as long as you do, it is Cao Jun who came to 100,000, and Xiangyang can be guaranteed!"
Both Pang Tong and Fa Zheng looked at them curiously. I wonder if Liu Yi had any great plans?
"Tinghou please say!" Zhou Cang said quickly.
"You have to understand your ability to control troops. In this respect, don't believe yourself. After the army leaves, close the city gates. The secret roads connecting the three villages outside the city have self-destructive devices. When it was broken, it started immediately. Mo had the slightest hesitation. As for Fan Cheng, he could keep it, and he could not hold it, as long as he kept guarding Xiangyang, they could not attack. "Liu Yi said very seriously, but this is indeed true Heart-warming.
Zhou Cang: "..."
"Remember, unless my army comes back and whispers, I will let the protagonist send you whispers to you by flying pigeons. As long as you don't get it, you can't open the city gate!" Liu Yi said seriously.
After hesitating for a while, Zhou Cang bowed: "Zhou Cang leads the life!"
This is indeed a heart-wrenching. After all, Zhou Cang has also followed the Liu Bei brothers for three years and has experienced countless battles. Don't believe yourself. Do you listen to this?
Pang Tong, Fazheng and Liu Bei, who were originally prepared to listen to Liu Yi ’s high opinions, were quite speechless. Sure enough, this method is very Liu Yi. Most people ca n’t think of it, and they ca n’t do it, but do n’t say it, follow Liu Yi. To do so, Xiangyang is absolutely foolproof. The ten-foot-high city wall is the most powerful in the world. Arrows can shoot up. However, it is difficult for ordinary ladders to reach this level. How to climb the city wall alone is a big problem.
Pang Tong shook his head, he shouldn't expect Liu Yi to have any amazing plan, and said to Liu Yi: "Bo Yuan is careful all the way, I will wait for the good news."
This rushed people?
Liu Yi looked at Pang Tongyi's eyes silently, without much talk. He sat down directly on the elevator and got out of the city, got into his car, and found his own troops to start.
Cao Cao naturally got the news as soon as Xiangyang City sent troops on such a large scale. It didn't pay much attention to Deng County's fall. After all, the place was almost ruined.
Naturally, Liu Bei would not be allowed to run wild. Cao Cao immediately sent troops south to prepare for a decisive battle with Liu Bei, but the news came next, which made Cao Cao very puzzled.
"Eight-way soldiers?" Cao Cao was a little surprised to hear the news from the sentry. What was Liu Bei doing?
"Explore again!"
"Hello!"
"Master, it seems that Liu Bei does not want to play against our main force. Why not take this opportunity to attack Xiangyang directly and force Liu Bei to play against our army?" Yang Xiu stood up and bowed to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao took a look at Yang Xiu and nodded with a smile: "De Zu saw a lot of art."
Yang Xiu modestly said: "Know a little about one or two."
Cao Cao once again determined that Yang Xiu was not suitable for leading soldiers. It was not wrong to say this, but it was not realistic. Xiangyang ’s city walls were ten feet tall. Up to now, Cao Cao is a bit incredible. Such a high wall is actually just a short. It took less than two years to build. At this height, it is not easy to attack. Liu Bei dare to let go of his troops with this method, he must have absolute confidence in Xiangyang.
At this time, when you ran to attack Xiangyang, people would bypass the main force directly to attack Wancheng, and directly cut off your back path. Yang Xiu's strategy was somewhat taken for granted.
Cheng Yu Wenyan shook his head and said: "De Zu knows, how high is Xiangyang City?"
"Uh ... ten feet!" Yang Xiu looked at Cheng Yudao doubtfully.
"Do you know how tall is ten feet?" Cheng Yu looked at Yang Xiu and shook his head. "Ye City Wall is only four feet and seven feet, and Xuchang City Wall is only four feet and five feet. This is the case. They can all be called Jiancheng." , Xiangyang Shizhang City Wall, our army's cloud ladder can't reach the female wall of Xiangyang City. "
Yang Xiucai is undoubtedly, and also good at trying to figure out Cao Cao's mind, but these things can not be placed on the battlefield, on the overall situation, even if you are smart, it is just smart, which makes Cheng Yu very regretful, well A talented person has taken a crooked path, and such cultivation, if placed in the prosperous age, may still be able to achieve success, but in this chaotic world ... The country does not need this kind of talent!
"Cheng Gong's words are indeed reasonable, but our army can also break its grain ..." Yang Xiu also felt reasonable, but he didn't think he was wrong. Even if he couldn't capture Xiangyang, Liu Bei's army always needed grain. After cutting the opponent's back, can Liu Bei not eat grain? But think about it, Liu Bei can also cut his own food.
"So how do we protect the military food road?" Cheng Yu glanced at Yang Xiu and said: "De Zu can believe that how many nobles in Nanyang are willing to secretly support Liu Bei?"
In terms of people's hearts, even though Nanyang was ruled by Cao Jun, Cao Jun had no advantage. All the time, Nanyang was exploited by Cao Jun.
"Then I don't know what's the plan for success?" Yang Xiu found that he couldn't think of agility as writing an article, but he didn't want to admit that he was incompetent.
"Fighting, when the odds are right, now two large-scale soldiers are trying to accomplish their battles with gimmicks and tricks, that is delusion!" Cheng Yu sighed, he probably guessed Yang Xiu's thoughts, this kid was upset Pride, want to be like the battle of Guandu or the battle of Chibi, depending on Liu Bei.
It was just how hard the battle of Guandu was fought. Only Cheng Yu and other people knew that as for the battle of Chibi, that battle was even more difficult to replicate. of?
Even if you brought Zhou Yu back to life, he would n’t dare to say that he could fight the glory of the Red Cliff War again. Similarly, to let Cao Cao do it again would not necessarily guarantee that the final victory of the Battle of Guandu must be himself. Fighting is like building a marvellous achievement. Cheng Yu is really speechless. This young generation is so impetuous. How can they rest assured that the world will be handed over to them in the future?
"We also divide our troops." Cao Cao looked at the map and said: "Cao Ren, Li Dian, and Cao Xiu, you three each lead a team of horses. If the enemy forces are so scattered, it must be a combination of reality and reality. You need to find the main force of the enemy to destroy ~ EbookFREE.me ~ lead the Chinese army alone! "
"Hello!" The three generals heard the words, bowed to each other, and each led their way away.
Cao Cao did not divide the soldiers and horses into the eight branches like Liu Bei. Although he did not see the other party ’s main intentions for the time being, this method of division of troops must be a combination of reality and reality. Cao Cao did not want to be walked by the opponent with rhythm. To master, that is absolutely a disaster, so Cao Cao chose to actively seek out the main force of the other party to destroy it, and at the same time lead the Chinese army by himself, ready to respond at any time.
As for giving up the offensive and defensively devoted to it ... Nanyang has so many cities, Liu Bei may not want to swallow the whole Nanyang, he really did that, he gave many city archers to Liu Bei, and with such a good opportunity, Liu Bei took the initiative to attack. Don't take advantage of this time to destroy more Liu Beibing horses and wait for Liu Bei to retract into the city, and then think about Xiangyang's ten-foot-long city wall, Cao Cao's idea of ​​attacking is even weaker.
The troops of Cao Liu and Liu started colliding frequently on the second day of Liu Bei ’s expedition. Cao Ren ’s three men each led 10,000 troops and had sufficient strength. Liu Bei ’s soldiers and horses were basically on the go, tempting Cao Jun to divide his troops, although the main force It has not been officially launched, but the scouts on both sides will fight almost every day. Cao Rensan will also take this opportunity to spy on Liu Beijun's main direction, and the war has also begun ...
