Chapter 590: Anger is indisputable
The siege battle under the city of Luoyang has been carried out for seven consecutive days, the coalition army has shown a rare firm determination here, and the siege strength is also increasing, with the familiarity with the city and the well, bed crossbow, rushing car and other large appliances gradually joined the battlefield, the coalition army paid heavy casualties at the same time to the defenders brought heavy pressure, the city lasted longer and longer, and the last day even led Liu Yi personally led the guard battalion to dispatch with its short troops before the coalition troops who landed in the city were all killed! While lamenting the strong combat strength of Liu Yi and the team of white-armored soldiers around him, Han Sui and Zhang Wei all increased their confidence, and Liu Langsheng was really good at attacking but not defending! The results of the coalition are expanding day by day, and according to this development, Luoyang City will definitely have a day.
At this time, Liu Yi's expression was indeed quite heavy when he was reading the military situation in the house, but the reason was not the pressure brought to him by the coalition siege, the strategy of using Luoyang as bait to attract the enemy army would not waver, and he still had a lot of hidden means in the defense of the city that had not been used, and in the last few days, the coalition army even advanced on both wings to form a situation of encircling three and missing one, in their opinion, if Liu Yi could not hold on and took the initiative to withdraw from Luoyang, it would also be a satisfactory ending, at least it could reduce the consumption of soldiers, but Liu Yi scoffed at this, In his heart, he had never thought of abandoning the city.
Cao Cao's action of dividing the troops to attack has made great progress, Xiahoudun and Cao Ren's wings flying together made the Jingzhou army difficult to stop for a while, in order not to be formed by the Cao army, Liu Biao had to give up Nanyang and retreat to Yiyang and Xincheng, Nanyang Weixing fell into the hands of Cao's army, at this time Cao Cao's offensive did not weaken in the slightest, if the Jingzhou army can no longer hold Yiyang and Xincheng, Jingzhou Xiangyang will be exposed to Cao Cao's army.
It was not until this time that Kuai conscience really understood why Guo Jia had a speechless expression on his face when he informed Jingxiang's strategy that day, he didn't want to hit the morale of Jingzhou's soldiers, and then told the Kuai brothers and Liu Biao through Yi nationality that Cao's combat strength must be further estimated, but unfortunately Liu Jingzhou did not believe his words at that time, in his opinion, Cao Cao and Liu Yi have not tasted a victory in several battles, and Jingzhou's soldiers should be able to make up for the lack of combat power even if they are not as good as Youzhou can be based on the city, not only him, The Kuai brothers also felt that the coping method was stable enough.
But it turns out that they think they have overestimated the combat power of the Cao army, but they still underestimate, the gap between the Jingzhou soldiers and the Cao army who have not fought for a long time is even greater than they imagined, and in addition to the land of Nanyang, the flank offensive of Xiahoudun and Cao Ren's two generals is mainly to break through, and when there is a strong city, it is not attacking it but quickly bypassing and advancing towards Jingxiang, this hand can be described as extremely bold, and it does not seem to be the style that Cao Meng has always planned to move. Fortunately, the Kuai brothers were still able to make up for the loss, shrink their forces in a timely manner, and then transfer the elite from the rear to block the main road of the Cao army's attack, which was able to block its offensive for a while, so that the situation eased slightly.
If the opponent changes Liu Yi or even Liu Bei, the advance of the two wings of Xiahoudun and Cao Ren will not be so desperate, he used Han Sui and Zhang Lu's coalition army to contain Liu Yi, which also played a great effect, and successfully won the Tianwei Hangu Pass and entered the territory of Sizhou, but then Liu Langsheng's response was also extremely fast, and he did not hesitate to personally reach the dangerous place to borrow the troops of Wuhuan Huns to resist the enemy in front of him, and he would never give up maintaining great containment of him. At this time, Xu Huang's Longxiang battalion and Tai Shici's Beiping battalion have joined forces to enter the territory of Qingzhou, forming a pincer offensive against the generals sitting here, Yu Wen is desperately defending, and with the help of Liu Ye Manpet and others, he can still block the opponent's offensive for a while, but a few days ago, it was reported that Yan Liang, the general under the command of Liu Yijun, used the strategy of the military advisor Jia Xu to bypass Le'an and go straight to Jinan, outflanking the forbidden back road, and the second battalion of the white horse and heavy cavalry in Jizhou has also been stationed in Yangping and Wei State, ready to strike at Yanzhou at any time!
Cao Cao was already prepared for Liu Yi's reactions in his heart, but this result was also the worst he could expect, and the only Jiangdong Sun Ce, who could help him at this time, also fell into a bitter battle with Liu Bei, all of which made Cao Cao's offensive in Jingzhou do everything possible.
"Hey~~ Liu Jingsheng thought he was looking down on Cao Cao, but in fact, he still underestimated it, if he listened to Fengxiao's words that day, why would he have lost today? Meng De will want to go down Jingxiang at this time, and then quickly, his decisive heart is rarely known, I am afraid that Liu Jingzhou, the second place of Yiyang New City, may not be able to defend for a long time, if Cao Jun's soldiers come to Xiangyang City again, his Jingxiang Nine Counties will be in danger, Cao Cao's siege ability is not comparable to the enemy army outside the city! The heavy expression on Liu Yi's face was made for this, he did his best to help Liu Biao contain Cao Cao's back road, but the current battle situation couldn't help but make him complain about it, Guo Jia had reminded him several times that day, but this person was still doing his own thing, it seems that this hope can only be pinned on the Kuai brothers in Feng Xiao's mouth, I hope that the lessons of the previous defeat can make them wake up in time, as for the offensive of the coalition forces outside the city to Luoyang, Liu Yi can not have much worry, at this time, the more fierce they attack, the more he can meet his thoughts.
"The lord is too concerned, Liu Jingsheng is definitely a first-class figure among the princes from all walks of life, but this time Cao Mengde's determination is particularly firm, and the pre-war planning is extremely thorough, the combat power of Yanzhou soldiers is already under Jingxiang, and Jingzhou's underestimation of the enemy's combat power, it is not surprising that there is such a result, the lord, you see that Xiahou Miaocai and Cao Zixiao's army broke into a taboo, but the Jingzhou army was deterred by the power of Cao's army and did not use it, this person has always rarely made this move, Now it is reasonable that the opponent who is going the opposite way is caught off guard, and now that the Kuai brothers are personally in charge of the heavy troops and the two places, it will not be easy for Cao Jun to make further progress from before. Zhang Hu spoke smoothly on the side, in fact, these situations were not unexpected, and this performance was extremely concerned about the battle situation in Jingzhou, and he faintly placed himself in it.
Looking at it now, I can only hope that Liu Jingsheng can wake up in time, otherwise wouldn't Liu have contributed to him in vain? Can pass on the book and Wen and Zilong, Qingzhou's offensive should be strengthened, although Yu Ban is a general's talent, but Gongming Jingfang's ability to use troops is not under it, and there is Wenhe in charge, Zhongfu and Gongheng's cavalry also want to exert pressure on Yanzhou, I think Xiahou Miaocai and Cao Zixiao's tactics are worth emulating, if Liu Jingsheng is really difficult to be Mengde's offensive, some here must also be taken back from him. Liu Yi's face was slightly relieved when he heard this, but when he mentioned Liu Biao's words, he still had some complaints, and immediately fine-tuned his strategy, even if the worst was expected, Cao Mengde would be rewarded accordingly if he was able to take Jingzhou.
"The lord rest assured, Zhicai will write a book with the three generals and Wenhe, according to the current situation, the lord is still focused on the battle situation in Sizhou, and after Feng Xiaowen and Wenhe got this military situation, he must have dealt with it without the lord's order, and now the Han Sui Zhang Wei coalition army is quite morale-high, and our army needs to be cautious in the battle of Luoyang!" Zhang Hu first made a promise, and then proposed, this is his thoughtfulness in dealing with people, he believes that although the lord's words are quite contemptuous of the coalition forces outside the city, but he will never be as light as Liu Biao, but as a military advisor, he has the duty to remind the lord at any time, and the war in Jizhou Qingzhou No. 2 believes that Zhao Yun and Guo Jiajiaxu and others will definitely take action.
"Well, there is no need to send this letter, Liu was a little confused by the anger of this clan at some point, Zilong has Feng Xiaowen and help, don't worry too much, morale is high? Liu is afraid that they will not come to attack the city due to low morale, this is like doing business, the casualties of the coalition soldiers are the investment of Han Sui and Zhang Wei, since the investment is huge, they will definitely want to recover the cost, I think their investment is not huge enough, this scene must continue to sing. Liu Yi smiled slightly when he heard this, and immediately said, Fang Cai was indeed angry and casual words, it was his habit not to intervene in the command of the front-line generals rashly, and it was true that he did not need to be remotely controlled by the third brother and two military divisions, and the damage of the coalition army in the past seven days has reached more than 10,000 people, but it has not broken the muscles and bones!
"The lord's words are quite exquisite, but it is human nature to think about it, but most of the coalition forces will have the method of attacking from three sides in the future, and our army must be guarded, if you want to achieve what the lord thinks, this Luoyang City must be held like this for another two months, but Wen Yuan and General Fan and others must be patient." Zhang Hu also smiled and said, this metaphor of the lord is very novel, but it does make sense if you think about it, no matter what, the defense of Luoyang City cannot be ignored at the moment, otherwise everything is not to be discussed.
"Zicai said that there will be no mistake, Liu should teach my brother how to defend the city, and it can be regarded as cheering him up in Sizhou, Wenyuan has always had a calm personality and made decisions on the spot, this battle of Sizhou can have the current situation is his credit, it is really handsome! General Fan will not have the slightest ambiguity in carrying out the military order, even if they can calm down in two months, but Liu is not worried here! "Zhang Hu has always been in order to be perfect, and he has considered everything thoroughly, which is what Liu Yi appreciates most about him, and he is glad that he can save his life this time.
"Report! The main public army division, there is an urgent report from the second general of Yangzhou! As soon as Liu Yi's words fell, a rush of footsteps came to the door, and the messenger said loudly outside the door.
"Read!" Liu Yi immediately spoke, and Zhang Hu's expression was also extremely concerned.
"The younger brother did not live up to the trust of the eldest brother, in the battle in the middle of the river, destroyed 100 enemy warships, and broke more than 6,000 enemy naval troops, at this time Zhang Yide has crossed the Yangtze River to attack Jiankang successfully, brother do not read, the enemy army in Sizhou is strong, brother still has to take care, brother Gan Ning is headed!"
"Okay." Liu Yi waved his right fist excitedly, and his joy was immediately revealed!
