Chapter 441: Mountain bandits attack

Lu Bu patted the head of the sitting Chitu habitually. Traveling through the mountains for half a month, I finally saw an open field. But it is also limited. Compared with the Chengdu Plain, the terrain here is not very broad. But it's enough. This time, there are only more than 30,000 people brought here. It doesn't take too much space to set up a posture.

10,000 elite blood flag troops and 20,000 militiamen. In addition to the 50,000-odd cargo team that accompanied Lu Bu, there were a total of 80,000 people who accompanied Lu Bu out of Sichuan. His deputy was Wu Yi, and he accompanied the army with three advisors. The target is Yidu City, which is currently under Liu Biao.

The location of Yidu City is very unique. It is a bridgehead with a very advantageous geographical location for Sichuan, where the Blood Banner Army is located, that is, Yizhou. As long as Yidu was captured, Sichuan's power would have penetrated into Liu Biao's body. It can radiate Xinye, Jiangxia, Jiangling, Changsha and other key places, stir the entire Jingzhou into a pool of mud, and even quickly divide it into two.

Lu Bu subconsciously looked to the north. It was nearly a thousand miles away from where he was now. There was also the Second Army led by Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, with the same number of people, but the target was Xiangyang.

Xiangyang is also the seat of Jingzhou Liu Biao. Once it is captured, Liu Biao's power will be greatly weakened.

If Xiangyang and Yidu City fell into the hands of the Blood Banner Army at the same time, the entire gate of Jingzhou would be completely opened to the Blood Banner Army. Liu Biao could only retreat eastward to Jiangling. This was also an important part of the previous battle plan: to divide the troops into two groups, to rush east after occupying Xiangyang, and stop after Jiangling. Take Yiducheng and then go south to Lingling.

I never thought of swallowing the entire Jingzhou region in one bite. The reason for this is known to Lu Bu. This is to wait and see how Cao Cao in the north will launch his offensive against the south, and then respond accordingly.

In general, Lu Bu felt that the strategic goals at this stage were not too difficult, and could even be said to be simple. Others don't understand the combat power of the blood flag army today, but he, Lu Bu, understands it very well. Not to mention, any militia from his army can be used as an elite in other forces, and the elite of the blood flag army, which one is not one enemy ten or even stronger?

Although Liu Biao is known as one of the "Eight Horses", and his mental skills are all superior, in Lv Bu's eyes, these are just clouds of smoke. In the face of the crushing force, what is the use of Liu Biao's intelligence?

"Report! Sixty miles ahead is Yidu City! The city is nine feet high, with a rammed-earth wall. The number of soldiers on the wall is over a thousand. No preparations for war have been found. Both gates have normal access for common people."

"Order, the whole army will camp on the spot, collect materials from the forest, and start preparing for the siege. Order the waiter battalion to enter the city in disguise, pay close attention to the movement in the city, and report back quickly if there is any change. Order the inspector to start patrolling the camp, and the camp will be banned for three days. Fireworks, those who violate the order will be executed. Three days later, in the early morning, fire and cook rice, and the whole army will attack the city!"

"Here!"

According to the previous information, there were 4,000 defenders in Yidu City, and they were not Liu Biao's elites.

Three days is the time to break the city, but it will take at least three days to prepare. Because many siege equipment, such as the ladder, needs to be made by the army carpenter. Otherwise, how would you march through the mountains with a long ladder on your back?

Of course, three days is enough to make some ladders, and there is no need to think about other large-scale siege equipment. Lu Bu didn't think that even a little Yi could let him use things other than the ladder.

Fireworks were banned for three days in order to hide and hide. Minimize the possibility of being discovered by the Yidu defenders. All the soldiers ate were pre-baked bread and dried meat, and it was not a problem to cope with the spring water for three days. In this era of famine everywhere in the world, it is a blessing to have something to eat, and the soldiers never mind if it is hot or not.

More than 10,000 soldiers cut wood, and 3,000 carpenters rushed to work day and night. With the cooperation, by dawn on the third day, 300 ten-zhang ladders were completed. All the cooks started making fires and cooking. A large bowl of dry rice is juicy, drizzled with a layer of gravy, and served with two large pieces of fat meat and a few pieces of dried vegetables, it is an excellent war rice. This meal, everyone has enough to eat, this is the rule. No one knows if the next meal is alive or not.

"Raise the flag! Pull out the camp! The whole army is rushing for thirty miles! The Chinese army is on the front line, and the front army advances to clear all obstacles. Be sure to set up a position ten miles away from Yidu before the Chinese army arrives!"

In the commander's tent, Lü Bu gave an order, the generals agreed, and then the whole army prepared and began to set up camp.

Wu Yi personally led the former army's 2,000 Blood Banner Army and 3,000 militiamen, of which 500 were cavalry, and the rest were all infantry, and rushed towards Yidu one step ahead.

The distance of sixty miles is not close, what Wu Yi has to do is to clear the way for the army, and build a line of defense ten miles outside Yidu City to welcome the army. This time must be completed before noon.

Yiducheng, from defending the generals to ruling the people, never thought that threats would come from the west of him. Because in their opinion, the west side is just a group of mountain bandits entrenched in Yizhou. His protagonist is Liu Biao, one of the Eight Horsemen. If he didn't fight on his side, he would save face, but would he dare to come from the other side?

Therefore, Yidu has always placed the guard in the north to prevent Cao Cao.

However, when the sergeant on duty on the city wall looked up and saw a cloud of dust rising in the distance, it was only then that the defenders in Yidu realized that something was wrong. He quickly gathered the people, closed the city gate and sounded the horn. After all this was done, a blood-red mottled banner with no characters appeared in the field of vision!

It's the blood flag army! The blood flag army is coming! ? Are they crazy?

No matter whether the blood flag army is crazy or not, anyway, the people are coming aggressively, so the defenders in Yidu City can't just sit back and wait, right? And they really didn't pay attention to the blood flag army. The tone from top to bottom is: Big guy, work hard, this is the mountain bandit who came to give us military merit!

Without waiting for the defense system to be fully set up~www.readwn.com~ the city gates opened again, and all 800 cavalrymen rushed out of the city, ready to say hello to the blood flag army that stopped ten miles outside the city, it was a bottom-out exploration thin. They even plan to overwhelm the enemy once the opportunity arises. After all, they are the regular army, what do a group of bandits know about battle formations? To win Sichuan, it was all Liu Zhang's stupidity, and it would be easier to replace them.

Seeing the eight hundred Yidu defenders rushing out of the city, Wu Yi, the former general of the army, waved his hand and asked his subordinates to draw out three hundred cavalry to fight. The army came to listen.

Compared with the cavalry from Yidu City, the Blood Banner Army only sent 300 cavalry to fight. The two sides met six miles outside the city. As a result, nothing happened. In less than half an hour, all the 800 horsemen who came from Yidu City had their heads cut off and tied behind the saddles of the Blood Banner Army as a successor and brought back to their own positions.

Originally, who can be the cavalry in the Blood Banner Army, who is not the elite who drank the divine water four or five times? The horses that sit down have all drank the divine water, and when they are combined together, they are no different from beasts. What if the cavalry in Yidu City met without being crushed? This is a complete gap in hard power, which makes no sense.

Eight hundred cavalry, six miles out of the city, all fled back, and the battle loss ratio was eight hundred to zero. Such a **** result directly slapped the confident defenders several times in the face. Only at this time did they understand one sentence: it is not the Raptors who are inferior to Jiang.
