Chapter 196: Biting Zhang Liao's Tail
Ling Tong was naturally very happy, he was smiling all the time, and his face was already smiling like a flower.
As a high-ranking general in Jiangdong's military circles, he naturally understood what this thing meant to Jiangdong.
"What General Zhennan said is extremely true! My lord and your mentor have always been comrades-in-arms, and they have always been strong in the north, if we are not sincere about the alliance, in the situation of both prosperity and loss, once one of us is destroyed, the other will be difficult to support alone, and the consequences will be unimaginable, so please rest assured Xuande, if Jingzhou is in trouble in the future, Jiangdong will not stand idly by!"
The two of them said some superficial polite words, shared a drink and dispersed.
The overall situation of the Eastern Front has been decided, Liu Bei withdrew his troops, leaving Guan Yu alone to continue to guard the Eastern Front in case Sun Quan suddenly attacked!
Liu Bei planned to join Zhuge Liang's main army, and then obey the teacher's arrangement.
Although there is no longer the strength of Cao's army on the eastern front, Liu Bei has not arranged a single soldier here.
After he withdrew, Guan Yu only deployed in the north and south of the river, and sent scouts to keep an eye on the vacant area in the north, which became a three-way zone, leaving a large area completely blank.
This is also the meaning of Wang Zhirong!
It means that the local Lao Tzu has vacated for you, and now it's your turn to play, so you can play as much as you like!
I'll hide in the mountains for the time being, watch you play, and then go out of the mountains to clean up the mess...
In other words, if you want to get away now, you must walk cleanly and completely withdraw yourself from the quagmire of war.
This kind of battle of the dead every day, whoever likes to fight will fight.
Now Zhuge Liang got out of the way, let Xiahoudun go south smoothly, all the way to Xiangyang City! The imaginary Yu Forbidden Department did not appear, and the Wang Capital Department did not appear either!
Xiahou sighed, it seemed that they had already been played to death! originally thought that 50,000 people would not be easily played to death, but who knew that they would disappear without a trace......
In fact, there are still 30,000 people left in Yu Ban, but they have been dragged by Zhang Fei in the Yin County area, stopping and stopping, and they have always been the first to take care of each other, and they can't go south, and they have been eaten by Zhang Fei little by little 20,000......
Xiahoudun arrived at the foot of Xiangyang City, saw this big city, and saw the various fortifications, small earthen walls, and trenches around Xiangyang City, and he had a headache......
At this time, Wang Zhirong was already sitting in Xiangyang City! This time, it's better to look at it yourself!
"King Nan'an, Liu Fengbu lost contact, and after going north, suddenly there was no trace of them!" The land monkey held up the binoculars and saw the color patches on the flying ball!
"Could it be that you fell into Zhang Liao's ambush? Already wiped out? Let them probe again, and let me know about this matter clearly......"
"Whoa!"
Soon the news of the flying ball came at one time, because there was a flying ball to explore the enemy camp and follow his own team, so the whereabouts of every warrior were clear!
It turned out that Xiahoudun went south, and Zhang Liao went south from the other direction, and the two departments each had more than 100,000 men and horses, taking care of each other......
Liu Feng received Zhuge Liang's military order and planned to go north and bite Zhang Liao's tail fiercely!
At this time, Zhang Liao went out of the mountains and entered Chaoyang City, which was directly abandoned by the Jingzhou army......
Liu Feng thought that with more than 10,000 men and horses in his headquarters, under the condition that Zhang Liao divided his troops to defend the city, he would be able to wantonly crisscross the Chaoyang area.
As a result, Liu Feng quickly marched north and marched all the way.
However, when he arrived at the place, he found that Zhang Liao ordered all the soldiers of the Cao army to retreat in the small Tucheng and Chaoyang City around Chaoyang, hang up the battle exemption card, and no matter how you scold, you will not go out of the city to face the battle.
More than 10,000 men and horses led by Liu Feng want to capture Chaoyang, but there are not enough firearms and manpower to capture it, that is a tactic of adding fuel, and it is impossible to defeat all of them!
So Liu Feng had no choice but to besiege Zhang Liao, who was distributed around Chaoyang, and became a corner to defend Xin'anyi, the main city of Chaoyang!
This is a decent earthen city, almost comparable to the urban defense of a small county!
There are only two hours between this place and Chaoyang, and this place is close to the southeast, which is the necessary place for most of Jingzhou to catch up, so it is relatively safe to attack here.
Liu Feng just besieged but did not attack, and used the trick of encircling the point to send reinforcements.
Zhang Liao is no one, after receiving the report, he quickly understood Liu Feng's intentions, so he ordered, leave him alone, let him go.
The scouts under Liu Feng are now very powerful, and after this period of actual combat, they have all become hidden masters and fiery eyes of seventy-two changes! Moreover, he also brought out the reconnaissance ability of ordinary soldiers, and now the reconnaissance strength has increased geometrically, and in recent times, he has supported the reconnaissance force of many brother troops under the condition of ensuring that his reconnaissance strength is sufficient, and has exchanged for many elite soldiers.
Liu Feng's scouts cooperated with a few flying balls to monitor their every move, as long as Zhang Liao's various departments moved, Liu Feng would soon know!
However, after waiting for two days, the news they got was that Zhang Liao's various departments did nothing, and they did not pay attention to Liu Feng's actions at all.
This is a bit embarrassing, Liu Feng wants to mobilize the enemy, but others are indifferent, and he himself can't really attack Xin'anyi.
After all, the teacher means to do his best to preserve his strength, save people and lost land, save people and land, and run away if he can't beat him, so he will make room......
Siege is a very exhausting thing...... 10,000 people defend the city, even if you use 50,000 people to attack, you may not be able to attack it.
What's more, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under his leadership, and they have always been on the defensive!
And Zhang Liao's entire army is more than 100,000, and there are 10,000 in the small earthen city of Xin'anyi alone!
What's more, Liu Feng did not build siege tools and did not have firearms. If you're going to siege the city now, it's basically a suicidal act.
This situation lasted for a while, and Liu Feng was a little anxious!
I went out on a special trip, but I didn't make an inch, how can I go to see my teacher? How do you go to see your father-in-law, General Liu Xuande?
Originally, I wanted to annihilate an enemy, or capture a city, which is always a good greeting gift, but now it seems that I am going to disappoint my mentor and my father-in-law!
Therefore, Liu Feng ordered a large amount of firewood, pine resin, saltpeter, sulfur and cream to be fired from heavy crossbows to the city gates.
At this time, there were cities and pools, that is, boxy cities, around the moat. It's not as complicated as the urn city of later generations.
Therefore, at this time, the city is pulled up by the drawbridge, the moat can play a certain defensive role, and behind the drawbridge is the city gate......
Liu Feng ordered people to shoot fire-burning objects to burn the city gate, and on the other hand, he ordered the soldiers to use bamboo and wood as a frame, loaded stones, installed a wooden fence to prevent arrows on the carriage, and drove the carriage to the moat under the drawbridge.
When it was almost there, the soldiers cut off the horse's leash and jumped off the cart to escape, the carriage was full of stones, and the inertia was huge, and it would not stop easily, but would only rush directly into the moat!
And the horses are broken on their leash, and they run extremely fast, and when they reach the river, they will turn and flee back, and they will not fall into the moat!
For so many times, a section of the moat will be filled, of course, this will require a large number of carriages, for this reason, Liu Feng used all the carriages that transported grain and grass!
