On the tenth day of the first month of 194, 80,000 cavalry of the Tianfeng Regiment of the Liangzhou Army marched out of Xiyang City, Jiangxia County, Jingzhou, and went east to Lujiang County under the rule of Yuan Shu.

Lu Bu, who was in Lujiang County at the time, listened to Chen Gong's advice, fortified the wall, cleared the wilderness, concentrated his forces, and only defended the two cities of Zhishu County and Linhu County.

Within three days, the Tianfeng Legion was in the northwest of Linshu County, including Lu County, Yangquan, Anfeng, Anfeng, Lu'an, Lou, Longshu, and Qian County.

On the same day, Chen Zhi led 40,000 troops of the Wudang Naval Division to go out of Chaisang in Yuzhang County, cross the river in the north, and attack the south of Lujiang County.

Within three days, Chen arrived at the department, Xunyang, Anhui County, and Juchao in Lujiang County, and the southwest of Shu County.

On the tenth day of the first month, Zhang Liao, the marshal of the Right Route Army of the Eastern Expedition, supervised the 80,000 foot cavalry of the Qilin Army and 40,000 troops of the Wudang Water Division, and marched out of Pengze, Yuzhang County, and went east to Danyang County.

Knowing the military situation of the Liangzhou Army's Eastern Expedition, Yan Baihu of Wu County, Liu Xiang of Danyang County, and Wang Lang of Huizhu County reached an offensive and defensive alliance, with Liu Miao as the leader of the alliance.

Seeing that the Liangzhou army was strong, the Yangzhou Tripartite Alliance Army did not dare to defend the city, so it could only divide the 90,000 soldiers and horses of the alliance army into Wanling City, Danyang County.

Within three days, Zhang Liao's department, Lingyang, Yi County, She, and Jing County of Danyang County, were under the city of Wanling.

………………

Outside Wanling City, the Liangzhou Army Camp!

"Today...... Liu Xuan, Yan Baihu, and Wang Lang were three thieves, with 90,000 soldiers stationed in Wanling City, intending to defend Wanling City. ”

Looking around at the civil and military forces, Zhang Liao asked loudly: "From what you see...... How to break the enemy? ”

The crowd thinks less.

"It's easy to break the thieves in Wanling City!"

Deng Ai was already a bamboo in his chest, and he said without hurrying: "Lingshui flows through Wanling from the southwest, and flows into the river in Wuhu.

Our army can build a dam in the upper reaches of the Lingshui River, and within five days, when the embankment is completed, it can flood Wanling City.

If this is the case, the enemy will die without a place to bury! ”

Hearing about Deng Ai's plan, the generals thought about it for a while, felt that it was feasible, and agreed with it in their hearts.

Zhang Liaojian's eyebrows condensed slightly, and he did not make a decision.

Seeing the expression of his own marshal, Ma Liang knew that Wen Yuan would not agree to such a strategy to destroy the enemy.

"The thieves in Yangzhou should be wiped out!

It's just that...... This crusade came to exterminate the rebels and rescue the people, not to slaughter the people of Yangzhou. ”

Ma Liang's expression was full of solemnity, and his tone was full of solemnity: "Shizai's strategy to break the enemy, although it is immediate, is just ...... It's too cruel!

If the city is flooded, the thieves will be destroyed! It's just that...... In this way, the people of the city will surely suffer from the flood and may all die!

I think this is not appropriate! ”

Hearing what the deputy military division said, the generals remembered it violently......

Before the Eastern Crusade, his own lord specially explained that he could use iron-blooded means to deal with the powerful families and thieves in Yangzhou; However, don't kill the people of Yangzhou too much!

"The marshal is merciful, the deputy military division is merciful!

Ai expected ...... The marshal will not use this plan! ”

Deng Ai was very respectful in his heart, and said loudly: "This plan is an urgent plan to break the thieves in Yangzhou, and within three or five days, the thieves can be razed to the ground!"

In Ai's heart, there is still a slow strategy, which can also exterminate the thieves in Yangzhou, but it will be delayed for a little time. ”

The generals were overjoyed!

"Oh?"

When the sword eyebrows stretched, Zhang Liao's face raised a smile, and his tone became relaxed, "Shizai and let's listen to it!" ”

In fact, Zhang Liao also has a strategy to break the enemy, and he is giving Deng Ai the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

"Liu Xuan, Wang Lang, and Yan Baihu, the three thieves, stationed heavy troops in Wanling City, it is really a stupid move and a foolish thing to do!

If the thieves are stationed in Moling (Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties), Shicheng, Danyang, and Hushu, they can still delay the advance of our army, and they can still survive for some time.

The troops stationed in Wanling are really self-defeating! "Yue e-book

"Wanling City, although it is strong and tall, it is not a dangerous city!

Around the city, there is no danger to defend, and there is no place to defend the city with the power of the corner, so it has to retreat to the city.

If the thieves are broken into pieces and hidden in the mountains and rivers of Yangzhou, it will take a lot of time for our army to exterminate them!

Now, all the thieves are stationed in the city, and they are undoubtedly self-defeating!

As long as all the thieves in Wanling City are exterminated, Yangzhou Danyang, Wu County, and the three counties of Huizhi can be leveled in half a month! ”

What Deng Ai said can be described as hitting the nail on the head!

This time, in the Yangzhou Tripartite Alliance Army, there were also leaders of the Shanyue tribes of Danyang, Wujun, and Huizhi counties to join.

To be precise, it should not be the Yangzhou Tripartite Alliance, it should be the Yangzhou Four-Army Alliance!

The generals nodded approvingly!

"Very good!"

With a smile on his face, Zhang Liao nodded and motioned for Deng Ai to continue.

"Liu, Yan, and Wang's generations don't know military strategy and strategy, they are really unstrategic!

Although the Shanyue people are brave and ruthless, and good at mountain warfare, they are poor in resourcefulness, not good at defending cities, and not good at arrays and battles.

It is evident that the thieves abandoned their strengths and defended the city with their weaknesses...... But an ignorant and reckless man! ”

Deng Ai, who had already been a bamboo in his chest, said aloud with an angry face: "Thieves, will An Neng be broken by our army?"

The generals nodded approvingly!

"Great!"

Zhang Liao, who was overjoyed, praised loudly and nodded for Deng Ai to continue.

"Marshal! Ai thought it was ......

Tomorrow, our army will go to war, there is no need to storm Wanling City, you can first fight with the enemy army and fight in formation, in order to frustrate the enemy's spirit!

When the enemy's morale is frustrated, the morale of the army is weakened, the morale is low, and the soldiers have no will to fight......

Our army built a dam on top of the Lingshui and pretended to flood Wanling City. The thieves in the city were panicked, and they would inevitably send troops to harass them.

At that time, our army will set up a heavy ambush and can defeat the enemy. ”

Deng Ai, who had already made up his mind in his heart, looked solemn, and his tone was full of murderous intent, and he said in a deep voice: "After that......

Our army's naval division went down the river and attacked the three cities of Moling, Shicheng and Danyang, which were empty of troops, and cut off the enemy's retreat to the north.

The marshal can send another army to cross Lingshui in the east and ambush on the line of Yanxian Mountain in the east of Wanling City, blocking the enemy's eastward retreat to Wu County and Huiji County.

If so, the thieves will surely die! ”

The generals were overjoyed and looked at Deng Ai with great respect......

Deng Shizai is worthy of being the champion of the first martial arts!

"Wonderful...... Wonderful!

With the help of the soldiers, with the unity of my generals, and with the unity of the officers and soldiers of my three armies, can the thieves escape?

Looking around at the civil and military forces, Zhang Liao, who was overjoyed in his heart, looked like a brother and said with a heroic look: "Exterminate the thieves in Yangzhou, and Shizai can be the first to make the contribution!"

Deng Ai's strategy and Zhang Liao's decision were surprisingly consistent!

This is the so-called hero who sees the same thing!

"Thank you, Marshal, for your reputation!"

Deng Ai, who was quite flattered, got up and thanked him.

Subsequently, Zhang Liao, together with the civil and military forces, deduced in detail the details of breaking the enemy.

Nothing to say all night!
