Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 771 The Battle of Xuchang, the old fox's advice
A series of chain reactions of Xiangyang's defeat caught Cao Han by surprise, especially the rebellion in Wancheng. When he was stationed in Xiangyang for the Southern Expedition, Cao Ren was extremely cruelly conscripted in Wancheng. Used in the second line when waiting for Cao Cao to conquer Jingchu again.

But now all these siege equipment fell into Guan Yu's hands, and the cruel labor aroused strong hatred among the people of Wancheng, and this hatred also broke out in the Battle of Xudu.

Outside the city of Xudu, there seemed to be countless more groundhogs on the flat plain. The high-quality shovel produced in Liaodong cut the ground sharply, and the trenches were winding like snakes, circling and digging towards the city wall.

After fighting with Liu Bei for half his life, Guan Yu is a very experienced veteran. He did not completely encircle Xuchang. He only built a siege defense line in the north, east, and south of Xuchang City, and reserved the roads to the west of the city. The east is separated from Cao Han's reinforcements from Yuzhou and Jizhou, and the south of the city is used as the main siege battlefield. There are ten huge well fences overlooking Xuchang city proudly, and groups of archers above are densely packed with arrows to suppress Xuchang. defenders.

As long as Xuchang is conquered, the Jingzhou army will have a particularly strong stronghold in the Central Plains to rely on, and Liu Bei really has a chance to win the Central Plains.

But the only thing Guan Yu didn't expect was that Wang Hou, who was facing his elder brother Yizhou Bingfeng, still withstood the pressure and sent reinforcements.

…………

Before the Chang'an Legion arrived in Xuchang, Sima Yi, the governor of Yongzhou, had already set off first. After all, he was an old scumbag who was a local snake in Hedong, a representative of the Central Plains gentry, and the old guy had good public relations skills. More than [-] gentry soldiers came, and tens of thousands of stones of grain were collected.

However, the mentality of the Gyeonggi clan was also revealed during the Guan Yu Northern Expedition. I remember that when Wang Hou was investigating the land, only one Han family in Wuyang mobilized more than 2 tenants to besiege him. An army of [-] is not a problem.

But this time Sima Yi is showing his old face, and only gathered 2 people, most of whom are tenants of his Sima family in Hedong. Cao Cao said that the political impact of King Wei can be seen. Facing Guan Yu, most of the clans took a wait-and-see attitude .

However, this old guy was obviously full of confidence. When the army arrived, he was wearing a full set of armor. He came out of the camp with a red face and a Confucian robe.

"Son!"

After all, he is Cao Cao's son. Although he was nervous for the first time, Cao Zhang's deputy coach still showed his prestige in front of others. Fully into the camp.

The terrain of Xuchang is somewhat similar to that of Luoyang. It is hilly and mountainous in the northwest and flat in the southeast. The place where Sima Yi camped first is located in the hilly area in the northwest.

Climbing up to the hill next to the camp, looking down through the binoculars, Xuchang City and the mighty formation outside the city came into the eyes of Cao Zhang and others.

"My lord, the south of the city is Guan Yu's main formation, and all the Jingzhou thieves brought out by him are stationed here, a total of 5 people, the east of the city is Lu Hun's group of 3 thieves, and the 8000 people in the north of the city are Hou Yinwei of Wancheng. Open the rebel army, although Guan Yu's bandit army has a large number of people, but after that, the [-] Jingzhou army of Guan bandit is regarded as an elite, and the Wancheng bandits and Lu Hun bandits are nothing more than mobs!"

"Also! There is another loophole for the Guan thief. There, the group surrounded by the left army is 1 people under Yu Jin's command."

Guan Yu was in a hurry to go north, and he couldn't allocate too many troops to escort the Forbidden Surrender Army. He only escorted 5000 people to Jiangling, and 1 people were stranded in Xiangyang. These [-] people had to be taken to the battlefield! "

"There are many people in Yuzhou in the imperial army, and many of them are veterans of the prime minister. It is impossible to sincerely surrender to Guan Yu. You can lead the army to attack Guan Yu's camp in the south of the city, attract its troops to lead forward, and send a few hundred Qingqi to attack the rear army. As long as we When the Wei army arrives, Yu Jin’s old troops will definitely rise up and resist, and when the time comes, Guan Yu will be defeated!”

"The old man led the army to fight for the son. He led the army to rush into the city overnight, and then led the army to attack Lu Hun's bandits, and cut off the reinforcements from the bandits in the east of the city for the son!"

It was obvious that one son at a time was screaming, but it was obvious that Sima Yi didn't pay attention to Cao Zhang, a fledgling rookie, and pointed out the country with a rather passionate appearance. He directly arranged all the methods of marching. go out.

"Why listen to you!"

Before Cao Zhang could answer, a crisp voice sounded from behind, and only then did he notice the staff officer Cao Zhang was leading. He glanced over and saw Wang Changle's small face. Sima Yi couldn't help crying out immediately. Why is my aunt here?
But this old fox is an old fox after all, he was stunned for a moment, he clasped his fists and bowed heavily with a smile on his face, and greeted with a smile.

"I've met Miss Changle!"

"Since Miss Chang Le disagrees with my strategy, I hope Miss Chang Le can give me some advice!"

"Forehead……"

Wang Changle couldn't help but get stuck when he was asked such a rhetorical question. Although she had also taken a staff course at Liaodong College, but suddenly a young girl like her came up with such a powerful strategy for a big battle, how could she come up with it.

But the eldest lady is the leader, and it is enough to be responsible for selecting talents, just like Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, could not keep up with Han Xin by using troops and flattering horses!As soon as she stretched out her hand, she pulled over Deng Ai who was still watching through the binoculars.

"Little Dengzi, how do you say to fight?"

Under Changle's expectant eyes, Deng Ai put down the binoculars slowly, and clenched his fists heavily at Cao Zhang.

"General, Sima Inspector is a well-known soldier in Hedong. He has been in the army for many years, and his experience is not comparable to ours. Since Sima Inspector has arranged this way, we will follow Sima Inspector's strategy!"

"However, our army is new and we don't know anything about Guan Yu's Jingzhou Army. I hope that Sima Governor will postpone the attack for a few days, and let our army launch a few tentative attacks first. After finding out Guan Yu's background, we can launch a decisive battle!"

"It's still Deng Sheng who is mature, but someone like Sima is getting impatient, son, what do you think?"

Seeing Wang Changle as if he had eaten an egg, he stared dumbfounded at Deng Ai, but he was a dumb man eating Coptis chinensis, with an indescribable appearance of suffering. When he came back, feeling refreshed, Sima Yi hugged Cao Zhang again.

As a Wang Houdang, Cao Zhang actually doesn’t believe in Sima Yi in his heart, but he believes in Deng Ai very much. Don’t look at this kid’s naivety, but the real tricks are one after another. Fighting and skipping classes in Penglai Academy in the past were all his bad ideas. Seeing him nodding, Cao Zhang followed suit.

"Since Staff Officer Deng has said so, let's follow Sima's words!"
