Chapter 573: The Battle of Cao (35)

Because in Zhou Yu's view, Yu Ban is a capricious, faithless and unrighteous villain. Such people are the most prone to rebellion. If Yu Ban can betray Yuan Xi and throw himself under his banner, he will not be bloodless and collect Shouchun.

"Metropolitan Governor, Yu Ban has been following Yuan Xi for a long time, his wife and children are all in Yecheng, will he betray Yuan Xi?" Cheng Pu couldn't believe it.

"At the beginning, Yu Ban took refuge in Yuan Xi because he was caught by Yuan Xi and imprisoned for a long time before he surrendered to Yuan Xi. Now he has a heavy army in his hands, stationed in the fortified city of Shouchun, and his strength is not much weaker than ours. How could it be so easy to surrender? Huang Gai also said.

"What the two generals said is very true, and I almost fell for him." Zhou Yu thought about it for a long time and changed his original thoughts.

Yu Ban is indeed unlikely to surrender.

If time is delayed and Yan Liang arrives, the battle will be even more difficult.

Zhou Yu summoned the generals to discuss the matter.

He laid out the map and said, "Just now Yu Ban sent a letter, saying that he was willing to surrender to me. Confession and conspiracy, but they persuaded me... Yu Ban is a fake surrender, and the Governor of Pontus thinks so, so he refuses to ban and is determined to forcibly take Shouchun. ”

"The people will obey."

"In..." The congregation will answer.

Zhou Yu pointed to the north of the map: "In the north of Shouchun, there are endless mountain ranges, straight to Pengcheng, Xuzhou. It is the only way for Yan Liang to help Yangzhou. Cheng Pu, Zhou Tai, I order you to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to set up an ambush, and be sure to stop Yan Liang from advancing eastward. ”

"No."

Cheng Pu and Zhou Tai should go down.

Zhou Yu continued: "In the forbidden department, if we can't hold out, it will be difficult for us to overcome the city. But if we draw him out, our army will be victorious. Therefore we do not have to besiege the south and the west, but only the east, so that we will not be able to defeat the enemy, and we will go out of the city. ”

"Generals..."

Everyone looked right.

Zhou Yu said: "Go back and rest for a day." Tomorrow, when the army is raised, follow me to Shouchun Dongcheng, launch a fierce attack... ”

"No."

Zhou Yu left Cheng Pu and Huang Gai behind.

"Governor, do you have any orders?" Cheng Yu asked.

"Hmm." Zhou Yu said: "This time, the old general and Zhou Tai went to stop Yan Liang, you must remember that no matter whether Yan Liang comes or not, you must stay there, and you must not return to Shouchun." ”

"You must know that Yan Liang has tens of thousands of elites in Xuzhou, and once he leads the army to help, it will be difficult for us to capture Yangzhou. You only led 3,000 troops and horses, and it was a great achievement to stop him in Xuzhou. ”

"The last will understand." Cheng Yu nodded in response.

"Go ahead."

"No." Cheng Pu left.

Zhou Yu said: "Tomorrow to attack Shouchun, can the old general have a plan to break the city?" This is for Huang Gai.

Huang Gai responded: "Shouchun is indeed a city with thick walls and is difficult to overcome, but Yu Ban He fought with Li Tong in Huainan before, and he did not win or lose for several months, and his subordinates have suffered heavy losses. Now there should be less than 30,000 people in Shouchun City, right? As long as we attack one point and consume his forces, in time he will surely fail. ”

In fact, Zhou Yu didn't want to attack.

Because the art of war has clouds, attacking the heart is the top, and the city is the bottom.

As a famous general in the world, he should judge the situation and skillfully break the city, how can he be like a reckless man and let the army go outside the city to die. This is contrary to his previous wisdom and wisdom.

But at the moment, apart from attacking the city, Zhou Yu can't think of any other way for the time being.

"After arriving outside the city tomorrow, don't rush to attack the city, first send a fierce general to challenge, test the forbidden, wait for me to observe for a while, and then attack again." Zhou Yu said.

"Yes."

The next day, the Jiangdong army roared to the outside of Shouchun City.

Yu Ban, Li Dian, and Le Jin also stood on top of the city tower.

Zhou Yu sent the general Tai Shici to challenge: "Yu Ban, Su asked you for your excellent marksmanship, why don't you go out of the city to fight?" ”

Li Dian glared at him and said, "This is Sun Quan's general, Tai Shici. It is said that he once fought with the little overlord Sun Ce for hundreds of rounds, regardless of victory or defeat, and his courage was not as good as that of Lu Bu back then. Generals must not underestimate the enemy. ”

Yu Ban said: "Of course I won't underestimate the enemy. Because I didn't plan to go out of the city to fight. Listen, all of you, I have ordered all the main roads out of the city to be blocked, and no one is allowed to go out of the city without our orders. ”

"No."

Yu Ban had a thought in his heart.

No matter what Zhou Yu did outside the city, even if he stripped off his clothes and stretched out his head, he wouldn't cut it. That way you will never be fooled. And if Zhou Yu wants to attack Shouchun, it is impossible to win.

He only needs to hold out for a few months, and when the war in Yanzhou is over and the army comes, he will naturally win.

In this case, what can Zhou Yu do?

He originally wanted to send Tai Shici to fight against Yu Ban, Li Dian, and Le Jin to test Yu Ban's strength.

But Yu Ban blocked the door, but he didn't come out.

Tai Shi Ci called for no result, so he had to retreat.

.........

In the next few days, Zhou Yu resorted to all kinds of tactics to lure Yu Ban, and at the same time let Huang Gai lead the army and storm Dongcheng.

Only after this fight did I know how strong Shouchun's city defense was.

It used to be the capital of Yuan Shu, but after being occupied by Yuan Xi, it was repaired. The tower is four feet high, which has exceeded the height of the ladder. The walls are three feet thick and can resist any stone-throwing attacks.

No matter how hard Huang Gai tries, he can't overcome it.

During this time, the Battle of Yanzhou was also fiercely fought.

Yuan Xi surrendered Jia Xu and rushed back to the army.

The judge said: "The minister just received the news that Liu Bei's army has left the Wuguan Pass and is about to arrive in Wancheng. If he is allowed to pass through Wancheng and arrive in Yanzhou, we will be attacked on both sides. ”

Yuan Xi sat down and asked, "How is the situation in Wancheng?" I remember sending Pang De to lead 30,000 northern cavalry troops to camp outside Wancheng, he should still be there, right? ”

"Yes, but...." The judge frowned and said: "As early as a month ago, Cao Cao asked Zhang Liao to lead 50,000 troops and enter Wancheng. Although Zhang Liao did not dare to attack Pang De, Pang De could not capture Wancheng, and now the two armies are facing each other. But Liu Bei appeared at this time, and he was bound to besiege Pang De. ”

"My lord, for the sake of today, the only way to do this is to let General Pang De return to Yanzhou to help in the war, so that our military strength will be greatly increased, and we can eliminate Liu Bei and Cao Cao in the field."

"Nope."

Yuan Xi did not agree.

"Why? Once Liu Bei arrives in Yanzhou, we will be attacked on both sides, and without Pang De's 30,000 northern cavalry, it will be difficult for us to win in the field. The judge asked.

"Not really, right?" Yuan Xi looked at Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, the Northern Cavalry in your hand is no match for Liu Bei?" ”

"Humph!" Ma Chao snorted: "Liu Bei's 300,000 troops, all of them are infantry troops, how can they be compared to us? I have not only cavalry, but also chariots, and if I were to fight head-on, I would surely defeat him. ”

"Don't forget, there's Cao Cao." Judge the way.

"Cao Cao was trapped in Xuchang, he didn't dare to come out for several months, and he only had 100,000 stragglers in his hands, so why be afraid?" Ma Chao turned around and arched his hand and said, "Lord, don't worry about Liu Bei, I'm waiting for him to come." ”

"Okay."

Yuan Xi also believed that Ma Chao's iron cavalry could defeat Liu Bei.

Because in addition to iron cavalry and chariots, he also has giant beasts, which can inflict heavy losses on Liu Bei in the field.
