As the Jingzhou army outside the city continued to converge to this side, and a series of siege equipment continued to appear in the enemy's camp, Cui Geng's heart sank little by little, and the messenger persuaded by Liu Bei to surrender was killed by him, he could not surrender, Yuyang must be saved, and this battle must be fought.

On the second day after the equipment from the rear arrived, Chen Gong began to command the soldiers and horses to attack the city, and the mighty Jingzhou army was like an ant tide towards the city wall, and the dense rain of arrows almost covered the sky.

Cui Geng calmly coped with all this, the methods of attacking and defending the city, when not considering some conspiracies and tricks, were actually not much, bows and arrows suppressed, ladders, city hammers, and more powerful, plus wells and catapults.

Defending the city is basically these things, so defending the city will be relatively simple, Cui Geng, as a veteran of the battlefield, has experienced a lot of battles over the years, although the Jingzhou army is fierce, although the fighting is tragic, but Cui Geng also sees the move, and does not give the Jingzhou army a chance.

Until Liu Bei arrived at Yuyang with Zhang Fei and others, it was already three days later, Chen Gong in these three days, all the engineering methods that could be thought of have been thought of, although Yuyang is precarious, as if it may be taken at any time, but the defenders seem to have a resilience, no matter how he storms, it is always a little bit worse, the small Yuyang City, it is actually under the onslaught of the army to survive to the present, when he saw Liu Bei, Chen Gong was a little speechless.

Such a small city, he spent a lot of soldiers and horses, but he couldn't break through it for a long time, how could he be embarrassed? How to face Liu Bei.

"Lord, the palace is incompetent, it took three days, and I couldn't get down to this city, please surrender my lord!" Chen Gong handed over his general order and handed it to Liu Bei.

"Don't say that." Liu Bei hurriedly helped Chen Gong up, patted his hand and said: "I have heard it, this Cui Geng is a person who has followed Chen Mo for many years, and he is quite brave, this is not a crime of public Taiwan, this Jingzhou army and I have not been in charge for a long time, and there is not much tacit understanding, the top priority, mainly to get Nanyang, and the public platform is to prepare for a few days, and the public platform can also know that this time the city has not been broken, it is not you, besides, this victory or defeat is a common thing in the soldiers, if the crime is discussed again and again, in this military tent, the most punishable thing is not the public platform, but the preparation!" ”

Liu Bei has fought for half his life, there have been small victories, but there are even more big defeats, if he is really defeated, Liu Bei's head is not enough to be cut ten times.

"Yes, Gongtai, this war is our business, you are responsible for making suggestions, now let's think about breaking the enemy first." Zhang Fei grinned on the side, they have known Chen Gong for many years, so they naturally know Chen Gong's skills.

"Thank you, my lord!" Chen Gong nodded, stood up and said: "The situation is urgent, the palace will not say more, my lord, this Cui Geng is good at guarding, or the generals under the command of Chen Thief are quite steady, plus Yuyang has enough grain and grass, soldiers and horses, although there are many of our army, but we can't go into battle at the same time, it is extremely difficult to break through this Yuyang urgently, but now there is not much time for us to continue to consume with Yuyang." ”

In terms of the average level of generals, Chen Mo's generals have no choice, Chen Mo not only has a special professor of the art of war in the academy, but Chen Mo also likes to think about improving the level of generals and soldiers in his subordinates.

In this world, there are only a few people with extraordinary talents, but ordinary people can also improve their command skills through hard work, Chen Mo is based on this, and the rules of the battlefield are taught in various ways, if the art of war is compared to a science, there are amazing talents under Chen Mo, but not many, after all, not everyone is Lu Bu, and he can dominate the world by talent, and the most in this world are ordinary people.

Cui Geng has followed Chen Mo for many years, under the command of Chen Mo, a strong general, Cui Geng is not eye-catching, but if you talk about knowledge, the foundation is solid, and the understanding of various tactics, Chen Mo under Chen Mo except for Yu Sheng, I am afraid it belongs to Cui Geng, which is manifested in this war, that is, Cui Geng is very stable, no matter what strategy Chen Gong has, Cui Geng can respond in time, the siege is not afraid of meeting Lu Bu, but I am afraid of encountering a relatively mediocre but solid general like Cui Geng, no matter how you fight, but the routine is those, see the moves, Unless you are willing to use ten times the strength of the opponent to consume the opponent's strength and exhaust the opponent's army, you can only use the method of cutting off water and food to trap the opponent to death.

But it takes time to cut off water and food, and what Liu Bei lacks now is time.

Liu Bei and the others nodded, they really didn't have time to spend here with Cui Geng, what they wanted was not an An Zhong or Yuyang, but most of Nanyang, if they were really blocked by Cui Geng here, then when Chen Mo's reinforcements arrived, how could they have a chance to capture Nanyang.

"So I can leave a general, stationed here, watch that Cui Geng, now Cui Geng should be the only general in Nanyang, Zhang Liao has not returned, after Yuyang, the rear must be empty, can order a few generals, bypass this Yuyang City, capture Wancheng, Jianyang and other places, the most important thing is Wancheng, only get here, even if Chen Mo's reinforcements arrive, our army can also compete with it, our army's biggest advantage now is the strength of the army, in this case, why not divide the troops to seize the important land, then if Cui Geng continues to defend this city, can only watch our army take Nanyang step by step, If he dares to go out of the city to fight, he can take advantage of the situation to take Yuyang! Chen Gong pointed to the map.

After Yuyang, it is more than sixty miles away from Wancheng, and the army can arrive in one day, and the most important thing is that Wancheng is now not guarded by a general like Cui Geng, although Cui Geng must have left enough soldiers and horses in Wancheng, but as long as Cui Geng is left here, Chen Gong does not believe that those left-behind generals can be the same as Cui Geng.

If this is the case, it is impossible for Ji Ling to capture Anzhong.

In fact, it is a taboo for soldiers to siege the city, and it is easy to be cut off from the rear, but there is no way, Liu Bei's strength advantage is time-limited, once Chen Mo sends back the army to Nanyang to return to the division, Liu Bei's strength advantage will be gone, and there will be no hope of capturing Nanyang at all, so Chen Gong will make this risky move at this time, in order to maximize Liu Bei's military advantage, and seize the important place before Chen Mo's soldiers and horses arrive.

"What the public station said is exactly what I want!" Liu Bei looked at the map, and only nodded after a long time and said, "Wen Ping!" Wang Wei! ”

"The last general!" When Wen Ping and Wang Wei heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"The two of you quickly lead 20,000 soldiers and horses, bring enough grain and grass to carry heavy baggage, enter Wancheng, no matter what the price, you must capture Wancheng before the enemy army returns." Liu Bei looked at the two of them and said solemnly.

He rarely gave orders with such harsh words, and at this moment he suddenly became serious, and he had a prestige of his own.

"The last general commands!" Wen Ping and Wang Wei hurriedly received the general's order, said goodbye and left.

"Zhang Fei, Ji Ling!" Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei and Ji Lingdao again.

"The last general!" Zhang Fei and Ji Ling stepped forward.

"The two of you will lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to the Bowang area, if the reinforcements of the Chen army arrive, notify Zhongye as soon as possible, and at the same time help Zhongye block the reinforcements of the Chen thief! Before Wancheng is breached, Chen Thief reinforcements must not be allowed to set foot in the boundary of Wancheng for half a step! Liu Bei said solemnly.

"Brother, don't worry!" Zhang Fei patted his chest and promised: "Just look at what the generals under Chen Mo have!" ”

"The rest of the generals, stay here with me, watch over that Cui Geng, and at the same time recover the surrounding counties!" Liu Bei nodded and looked at the others.

"Whoa!" Chen Dao, Liu Pan, Liu Hu and others saluted Liu Bei, so it depends on whether Cui Geng has sent troops.

Liu Bei acted vigorously and resolutely, and ordered, and the generals immediately began to prepare, Wen Ping and Wang Wei led the soldiers and horses, along the water, and went straight to Wancheng, while Zhang Fei and Ji Ling took the men and horses to Bowang, sent a large number of scouts, and set up checkpoints to detect possible enemy troops.

Although Cui Geng was trapped in the city, he was also aware of the movements of the Jingzhou army.

At the head of Yuyang City, the departing army seemed to deliberately attract Cui Geng, and passed through Yuyang City with great force.

"It's not good, the enemy army wants to go around the city and attack Wanxian directly!" On the city tower, Cui Geng looked at the direction of the enemy's march, his face changed, and he quickly understood the other party's thoughts, was he forcing himself out of the city? But knowing that it was a plan, Cui Geng had to go, if Wan County was lost, what was the use of him even if he kept Yuyang?

"General, the thief is a strategy to lure the enemy, don't be fooled!" A general stopped Cui Gengdao.

"Even if you know it's a strategy, you can't help it!" Cui Geng sighed and said: "There is no general in the rear, the few generals left by General Wenyuan have not experienced any war, they may not be able to hold it, if Wanxian is lost, how long can this Yuyang be held?" ”

The other party's move really hit Cui Geng's weakness, even if he knew that it was a plan, he had to win, even if he gave up Yuyang, he had to keep Wanxian not losing.

"Order the officers and men of the three armies to assemble!" Cui Geng shouted as he went down the city.

"General, there are too many enemy troops, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop it!" General said anxiously.

"Don't stop him, I'll wait until I get out of the city, go back to Wancheng directly, and be sure to return to Wancheng to defend against the enemy before the thief army arrives!" Cui Geng shook his head, he now has about 3,000 troops in his hands, 3,000 people fight with tens of thousands of people, Cui Geng is not so stupid, he is ready to give up Yuyang and concentrate all his strength to defend Wancheng!

"That Yuyang ......"

"Don't! Naturally, you can take it back in the future! Cui Geng found that he had made a big mistake, when the troops were insufficient, he still wanted to hold everywhere, but the result was that he couldn't hold anywhere, but it was better to concentrate his forces to hold the most important point and wait for reinforcements.

can't be wrong, he just thinks that Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses should return soon, and he only needs to hold on for a few days, which is enough, but no one expected that Zhang Liao and Wei Yan's soldiers and horses encountered a heavy rain on the way back, and Shengsheng was dragged by this heavy rain for five days, which also made Cui Geng's previous arrangement easily broken by Chen Gong's plan.

General Pi received the order and ordered the three armies to assemble out of the city, taking advantage of the other party's mobilization of troops and horses, and the blockade of Yuyang was loosened, Cui Geng rushed out of the city with his men and horses......
