Nam-gun, east of Gangneung-seong, riverbank.

At this moment, Sergeant Wu controlled a large ship with flags on the side of the ship to dock on the shore, and then went ashore to assemble.

Shore.

"Grand Governor, our army has been assembled, what should we do next?"

Just said that Zhu Ran, who had just gone ashore to line up, wearing a scarlet robe and a sharp sword at his waist, rushed over in an instant and asked.

Hearing this, Lu Meng's face was rolling, his thoughts were thousands, and after half a sound, he suddenly became upright, and said: "Chuan Bendu ordered the whole army to build a water camp here, release warships, and control the Yangtze River." ”

The order was given, and one of the guards received the order and immediately went down to give the order.

Immediately after, Zhuge Jin, who was wearing a green shirt from the side, couldn't help but show concern on his face, and said: "Dudu, now that the troops are coming to the city, how should our army set up camp and besiege the city." ”

"Please also ask the Metropolitan Governor to give an order."

For a while, after Zhuge Jin proposed first, the generals who came later also gasped slightly, and unanimously asked for battle.

After the words fell, Lu Meng thought for a moment, and then said: "Everyone, judging from the topography of Jiangling City, the north and west directions are all flat terrain, and the reinforcements from Shuzhong and the Guan Yu army will come to the aid from these two directions at any time. ”

"Therefore, the governor of Pontus decided that this siege will be mainly stationed in the north and west directions."

"As for the south, the other side is the public security, now it is the hinterland of our army, only 5,000 troops need to camp for prevention, and the east is from the land Huarong Road to Wulin Port, to Xiakou, Jiangdong to the east."

"This governor thinks that the siege of the east only needs 4,000 troops to hold on, and the Jingzhou army is now too busy to take care of itself, even if Guan Ping wants to lead the people out of the city to raid our army, he will never choose the east."

"Because, it doesn't make sense!"

As soon as the words fell, the generals heard the news and began to think about this siege plan, and after half a sound, everyone also felt that there was nothing appropriate, so they unanimously agreed.

"The Metropolitan Governor is far-sighted, and we will seconded this plan."

"Please also ask the governor to issue military orders."

At this time, the generals were also shouting for battle, their words were passionate, generous, and there was no cowardice at all.

Seeing that all the generals were full of fighting spirit, Lu Mengsui no longer hesitated, his face suddenly became serious, and he said sharply: "Ling Tong, Sun Huan listens to the order." ”

"This governor of the two of you, led 5,000 troops west into Yidao, and cooperated with General Huang Lao, who swept Wuling and Lingling two counties, to capture Yiling, Yidu and other places, with the help of the complex local terrain, to prevent reinforcements from Shuzhong."

"No, no."

The order was handed down, and the second general immediately surrendered his promise loudly, and then led the troops forward.

"Song Qian obeyed the order, and the general ordered you to command 10,000 troops, besiege the west of the city, and build a defensive line, and you must not let a Jingzhou sergeant go out of the city, and completely cut off the connection in the city."

"Han Dang listened to the order, and you led more than 5,000 people to stick here, beware of the enemy crossing the river and attacking the public security."

"Zhu Ran, Pan Zhang obeyed the order, and the two of you led the army of 8,000 to the north, and went north to the area of Tuoshui Jinan, to build a defensive line, and beware of the main force of Guan Yu's army from detouring by land and returning to Jiangling."

"The rest of the generals, together with the generals, set up a large camp in the north of the city to attack the city."

"No."

only said, one after another orders came out with the high words, and all the Wu generals rubbed their hands and promised loudly.

In a short period of time, thanks to Lü Meng's familiarity with the topography of the mountains and rivers of Jingzhou, he formulated a plan to besiege Jiangling.

In addition to the eastern land route, the remaining three sides of Gangneung City were about to be surrounded by the Wu army.

In fact, the Wu army attacked Nanjun, which can be regarded as an advantage.

Since the east of Jiangling City leads to Wulin Port, the Wu army only needs to surround three empty ones.

After all, even if the enemy army wanted to break through, it would not choose the east.

Because, the east to Ulin is the way to Jiangdong.

What's more, there are only two directions for the Jingzhou army to break through now, either to retreat west to Shuzhong, or to retreat north to Xiangyang.

Therefore, vacating the east and strengthening the forces in the other three directions was also carefully considered by Lü Meng.

After all, the Jingzhou army was strong, and if the siege troops in each direction were insufficient, it would also be vulnerable to surprise attacks by enemy troops out of the city.

As the order was handed down, General Wu did not slack off, and immediately received the order to mobilize the troops under his command and deploy them according to the plan.

Gangneung City, don't drive the house.

At this time, Guan Ping was discussing with Yin Guan in his mansion.

"Young General, do you think that Lu Meng will really besiege the city in accordance with the tactics of Zhou Lang who once besieged Jiangling, and then completely isolate the important strongholds around the city?"

As soon as he spoke, Yin Guan was worried and said slowly.

In the past two days, what he and Guan Ping have deduced the most is whether the Wu army will adopt a strategy of attacking and fighting a quick victory, or a plan to besiege the city and delay time.

It's just that at this time, Guan Ping's face was loose, and he smiled lightly: "Actually, don't drive Yin, you don't have to worry about this matter!" ”

"Lü Meng will definitely choose to besiege the city, because the price of a strong attack will be higher, but the situation of our army may be worse than that of Cao Ren in the past."

"What do you mean?"

As Yin Guan asked with doubts on his face, Guan Ping paused and explained: "Because, today's Dongwu is no longer what it used to be, and I don't know how many times better than Zhou Lang's situation in the past. ”

"At the beginning, although Zhou Lang took the opportunity to attack Jingzhou with the momentum of Chibi's great victory, at that time, the Wu army did not have the slightest foothold in Jingzhou, nor did he give favors."

"On the contrary, the scholars of Jingzhou either attached themselves to Cao Thief or supported the king of Hanzhong, and it was extremely difficult to capture Nanjun, which was also an important factor for Cao Ren to hold the city."

"Moreover, the situation at that time, even the four southern counties were nominally under the rule of Cao Thief."

"But on the other hand, today's Wu army is no different from our army, and it is divided equally with our army in the six counties of Jingzhou, with Xiangshui as the boundary between the east and west, and there is not much difference in strength."

"Therefore, the situation of our army will become more and more difficult in this battle."

Hearing this, listening to Guan Ping's analysis of every word, Yin Guan couldn't help but think about it carefully, and said half-loudly: "Major General, won't it be more difficult for our army to defend Jiangling next?" ”

"Yin Beijia, in theory, this is indeed the case."

Guan Ping did not deny this, and said frankly.

However, after a moment's effort, he chuckled again: "Of course, compared to the former Cao Ren, our army has another advantage. ”

"What advantages?"

"That is, Nanjun is connected to Shuzhong, as long as the king of Hanzhong can learn about the changes in Jingzhou in time, he will definitely organize reinforcements to come to the rescue."

"At least, this is something that the former Cao Jun can't compare!"

After some explanation, Yin Guan's heart that had always been hanging also calmed down with this sentence.

That's right, our army still has reinforcements from Shuzhong to help!

When Cao Ren was stationed in Nanjun and was besieged, he was really isolated and helpless.

For a while, Yin Guan also thought so.

After a moment, Guan Ping said with a smile again: "Yin don't drive, not only that, Ping feels that with the combat power of his father, it is only a matter of time before he breaks through Hanjin, and Lu Xun will definitely not be able to resist our army." ”

"At that time, once the father returns to the defense, and the reinforcements from Shuzhong come to help, as long as our army can hold out until then, it will be the time to counterattack Eastern Wu."

"At that time, our army is bound to strike while the iron is hot, expel the Wu army back to the border, and recapture the entire Jingzhou."

After a pause, Guan Ping's face suddenly turned resolute, and he said loudly: "Only by taking Jingzhou can our military wholeheartedly go north to the Central Plains and restore the Han Dynasty." ”

When the words settled, Guan Ping also smashed his fist on the table in front of him, his expression was extremely firm.

Take back Jingzhou!

At this moment, Guan Ping stood up suddenly, his momentum soared, and he muttered to himself.

Seeing this, Yin Guan was also infected by it, and then stood up.

"Report!"

"Major General, don't drive Yin, report urgently outside the city."

Suddenly, at this moment, there was a heavy staggering sound outside the palace, and in a few moments, a garrison at the head of the city galloped to say goodbye.

"Huh?"

"What is the military situation, tell me quickly."

Seeing this, Yin Guan couldn't help but look serious and said loudly.

Hearing this, this soldier did not dare to slack off, and said with difficulty: "Just a quarter of an hour ago, tens of thousands of soldiers wearing the armor of the Wu army appeared outside the city, and they besieged the entire city in a short period of time, cutting off internal and external contacts. ”

"Now, the Wu army is stepping up the construction of the main camp."

"Today, our army has lost contact with the outside world."

"Siege?"

For a while, after listening to the sergeant's advice, Guan Ping and Yin Guan couldn't help but look pale, and then groaned secretly.

After half a sound, Guan Ping reacted first, and said in a loud voice: "You, now quickly go and report to the rest of the generals in the city, as well as the county guards, tell the truth, and then let them quickly arrive at the city." ”

After the words fell, he turned to face Yin Guan and said lightly: "Yin don't drive, you and I will go to the city together, observe the formation of the Wu army, and talk about the military appearance!" ”

"Okay."

Immediately, when the two heard the report of the battle, they did not delay any longer, and immediately marched to the city.
