Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Vol 3 Chapter 247: siege

"The general is really a god!" Xin Yeling looked at Gao Shun with admiration.

Who would have thought that Gao Shun only brought 5,000 people out of the city to achieve such a victory, and more importantly, the army who stayed in the city would not dare to go out to attack the Jingzhou army who came to attack the city in the absence of Gao Shun. .

Xinyeling is a native of Nanyang. He is not high-born and literate, but he is not even a poor family. Someone from his ancestors was an official that dates back to five generations ago. , Gao Shun is not good at this set, and even a little disgusted, now Xin Yeling can only be amazed like this, and dare not shoot too much.

Gao Shun nodded to him. If you don't have any expectations to get along with Gao Shun, you will find that this person is actually very easy to get along with. The premise is that you don't make mistakes of principle, otherwise the front foot may be amiable to you, and the back foot will slash you with a knife. It's also a normal thing.

"General, the last general is incompetent!" Cao Xing said with a decadent expression after meeting with Gao Shun.

"There was no better chance at that time." Gao Shun shook his head. In that case, Cao Xing could only choose to attack or hide all the time. There was no other choice. The battlefield was changing rapidly, and it was impossible for everything to develop according to his own wishes.

It is very good that Cao Xing can take people back with their whole body.

"Nearly half of the battle was lost, and the elites suffered heavy losses. Now that the two armies are in the city, it's not easy to go out to fight again." The rest of the soldiers, if they were just defending, would be fine, but it would be very difficult to rush to help Ma Chao in order to end the battle here as soon as possible.

"General, what I've done is good enough." Cao Xing comforted.

Nearly half of their elites did not break down, but Sun Ce's side really suffered heavy losses. After this battle, Jiang Dong's army would not be able to recover, but it was definitely enough to make Sun Ce feel distressed.

Of course, if Sun Ce didn't want to destroy Gao Shun's elite in the battle just now, he wouldn't have suffered such a heavy loss.

But you can't say that Sun Ce's decision is wrong. If Gao Shun and this elite can be completely left behind in this battle, Sun Ce has suffered heavy losses, but it is equivalent to removing the biggest obstacle to taking Nanyang.

Unfortunately, Gao Shun finally successfully withdrew, and Sun Ce's move was simply to use his own tens of thousands of troops to fight off Gao Shun's 2,000 elites.

"Send someone to inform Yin Feng, if there is a battle situation on Ma Chao's side, report it to me immediately!" After Gao Shun nodded, he instructed Cao Xing.

If they failed to repel the Jiangdong army, it would be difficult to get a quick solution, and it was inevitable to fall into a long-term war of attrition.

"Here!" Cao Xing nodded and agreed, this is not urgent, and later arrangements will not delay things.

After Gao Shun said some things to pay attention to, he went to appease the soldiers, as well as the rotating guard posts, including how to be alert to the enemy's approaching sneak attack at night.

Although the number of defenders was sufficient, Gao Shun meticulously arranged these matters.

The following period of time also proved that Gao Shun's practices were not redundant.

In order to break through Xinye as soon as possible, Zhou Yu can be said to be full of tricks, including two consecutive night attacks, just like when Lu Bu entered Shu to break the Baishui Pass, trying to take advantage of the enemy's slack to break the city.

Under normal circumstances, after a night attack, people will definitely feel a little slack in their hearts. If they attack again at this time, they will easily succeed. Lu Bu broke the Baishui Pass.

But Gao Shun quickly changed a group of people to defend the city after the enemy's first night attack. The soldiers who had previously defended the city went back to rest. As a result, the sense of slackness was cleared, and Zhou Yu's second night attack was unsuccessful.

In addition, Zhou Yu also thought of many methods, but Gao Shun kept the entire Xinye management intact and let him come up with all kinds of ingenious schemes.

After several attempts, the Jiangdong Army and the Jingzhou Army came to a decadent conclusion.

If you want to break through Xinye, you can only attack!

But at the moment, the difference in military strength between the two sides is only a little more than double, and it is no longer the absolute difference in military strength from the beginning.

Relying on the advantages of Nanyang Army's equipment, even if you don't fight, you know that it will inevitably suffer heavy losses. In the end, even if you win Xinye, you will be unable to take Nanyang! This is also the reason why Zhou Yu tried his best to win by odd tactics.

But unfortunately, Gao Shun is an absolutely rational general. No matter how many miracles are put on Gao Shun, it is useless. As long as he defends Xinye, he can stop the Jingzhou and Jiangdong coalition forces from continuing to deepen, although Gao Shun is also worried. There was a war on Ma Chao's side, but at this time, the more calm he made his decision.

Encountering such an opponent is simply a nemesis for a person like Zhou Yu.

"This Gao Shun is really..." Sun Ce gritted his teeth, why would such a person sacrifice his life for Lu Bu's thieves? Turning to look at Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, do you think this person can be persuaded to surrender?"

Zhou Yu: "..."

"Bo Fu, don't be in a hurry. With the current situation, it is impossible to attack by force. I will also slow down and try to lure him out of the city to fight." Zhou Yu sighed.

A person who can be entrusted by Lu Bu with important responsibilities alone, why do you think they will let you down? During this time, it was not that Zhou Yu didn’t think about this aspect. He secretly inquired about Gao Shun’s personality. He only knew that Gao Shun was innocent and dignified. He had only one wife. The talent is very good, but reason tells him that it is almost impossible to recruit such a person.

Sun Ce also said something angry, such a person has a low probability of surrender, but it is very difficult to defeat the opponent. Gao Shun is like a mountain in front of him. The sense of despair is even better than that of Lu Bu!

"But now Xiaoxiao Xinye is blocking my 100,000 allied troops. If I get nothing in the end, wouldn't it be a joke for the heroes of the world?" Sun Ce said angrily.

Zhou Yu sighed and said, "Don't be impatient. Now I can only cut off the food supply and consume it. When the rear of Nanyang changes, this Xinye will become an isolated city."

Now he can only choose to besiege instead of attacking, and he has to fight with Gao Shun.

In fact, there should be no water and no food.

After Sun Ce vented his emotions, he nodded and said, "That's the only way to go, so let's discuss with that Liu Pan!"

After seeing the strength of the Nanyang Army in defending the city, Liu Pan was naturally reluctant to attack, but he had no objection to the fact that he had to spend with the enemy.

Upstairs in Xinye City, Gao Shun frowned as he watched this scene. Although he had been prepared, his heart was still a little heavy.

The enemy's siege of the city also indicates that the enemy will fight a war of attrition with him. He is not afraid of running out of food. When he decided to go south, he prepared for the worst. A lot of materials were sent to Xinye. Even if Xinye was besieged, it was enough Military and civilian use for one year.

But in this way, this battle is destined to be unable to decide the winner in a short period of time. If Nanyang changes, Gao Shun will have no way to know.

"Cao Xing!" Gao Shun turned his gaze to Cao Xing, seeing that the enemy had not yet completely surrounded the city.

"What is the general's order?" Cao Xing hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Gao Shun.

Gao Shun pointed to the outside of the city and said, "The enemy army is going to stalemate with our army to besiege the city."

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Why do you need to worry about the general? The food and grass in the city is enough for our army for a year!"

Gao Shun shook his head: "I'm not afraid of Xinye City, but when the enemy army besieged the city, our army cut off contact with the outside world. I, with your 100 elites, broke through the city and went to Wancheng. Remember, you don't need to join the war, but you need to know about Ma Chao. There is a battle over there, but if something major happens, be sure to come back and let me know!"

When Cao Xing heard the words, he said solemnly, "The last general will take orders!"

No one under Gao Shun would oppose Gao Shun's decision except Ma Chao who dared to oppose Gao Shun occasionally, even if he didn't want to. Safety, but also less opportunity for meritorious service.

The direction that Gao Shun chose for Cao Xing to break out of the siege was exactly the junction of the Jingzhou Army and Jiangdong Army. At this moment, the defense had not been fully deployed. In order to cover Cao Xing's breakthrough, Gao Shun opened the other two city gates and made a surprise attack. When the Jingzhou army was on guard, Cao Xing led a hundred men to break out of the siege, which seemed insignificant.

Naturally, Gao Shun would not go to war blindly. After confirming that Cao Xing had left the city, he withdrew his troops and returned. The Jiangdong Army and Jingzhou Army were somewhat inexplicable, and it was not until the news that some soldiers broke out of the siege came to light.

"It seems to be reporting to Nanyang, don't worry, if there is a large group of Nanyang troops coming, it will be ambush halfway!" Zhou Yu laughed.

Sun Ce nodded. He is more concerned about Gao Shun now. As for the mere hundred people, they will run away as long as Gao Shun is trapped. Even if Gao Shun is defeated in the end, as long as Gao Shun can be left behind, it will be considered a success to break Lv Bu's arm. .

In order to prevent the enemy from living in peace, Sun Ce and Liu Pan would send people to raid Xinye from time to time. While Gao Shun could not relax, they also wanted to try to see if they could break the city, although the possibility was not high.

And Gao Shun wouldn't let the enemy get a good night's sleep. He would often send people out of the city to attack at night, and he didn't go deep. As long as he made a surprise attack, it was enough to make the enemy vigilant.

The two sides come and go like this. Although there is no large-scale war, there are many small-scale battles.

On the other side, Wancheng.

After Cao Xing arrived in Wancheng ~www.readwn.com~ the letter from the imperial court had been delivered.

"The young lady is in Nanyang!?" Cao Xing stared at Yin Feng with wide eyes.

Yin Feng sighed: "I have ordered people to investigate secretly, and now there is martial law everywhere, and the young lady is not a arrogant person. When you receive news, you should be careful. This matter should not be made public."

"Then shall I go back and inform the general immediately?" Cao Xing was a little overwhelmed. This should be considered a major event, right?

"You want to stay here to pass on important military information. Although this matter is very important, the territory of Nanyang is still safe. Even if the general knows that it will only cause the general to worry, if you stay here, you can also help me investigate secretly." Yin Feng shook his head. , it will be difficult for this elite team to come back and come up with it again. Gao Shun's purpose is not this.

As for people like Lu Lingqi, Nanyang is still relatively stable now, so he can't look for them with great fanfare, but if something goes wrong in Nanyang, the other party should take the opportunity to threaten rather than kill them directly. In this way, people like Lu Lingqi are relatively safe for the time being.

"In addition, the imperial court will send people to support. After a while, the troops should be looser, so you don't have to worry too much!" Yin Feng still has confidence in Gao Shun, but Ma Chao's side... Yin Feng is not too worried rest assured……
