Chapter 663: The First Battle of Xinye

The weather in November, although not as cold as winter, is also a bit cold.

In Xinye City, at this time, Sima Yi was already sitting in the main mansion, and under his command were Zhang Xiu, Yu Ban, Cao Ren, and Li Dian.

"Zhongda, now that Liu Wei has sent troops, why haven't we made preparations for a long time?"

At this time, Yu Ban looked at Sima Yi, and he asked with some puzzlement.

Although there are a few of them in Xinye, there are not many people in Xinye, and Sima Yi keeps saying that Xinye is the first battle, but he is not ready yet.

"General, don't worry, Zhongda has two strategies here, but it is just to move according to the time, and see how Liu Wei arranges his troops."

Sima Yi glanced at Yu Ban and said, this time guarding Xinye, if you plan it properly, killing tens of thousands of horses is definitely not a problem.

"What does Zhongda mean?" Li Dian looked at Sima Yi and asked puzzled.

When they first came to Jingzhou, their order was to obey Sima Yi's arrangement, so Li Dian looked at Sima Yi and asked.

"The art of war varies from time to time, if Liu Bian's army comes in a big way, there are some strategies, I am afraid that it will be seen through."

"If he orders the vanguard to come out, we will kill him at that time." Sima Yi said lightly.

"Report, military advisor, according to the spies, Liu Wei's army, with Dian Wei and Tai Shici as the vanguard, led 10,000 troops, captured Anle, Anzhong, and came straight to Xinye."

As soon as Sima Yi's words fell, the spy in charge of the visit came with news, and it was very urgent.

"Is that true?" Sima Yi was also surprised, and then said with some joy.

"Military advisor, there are only more than 3,000 people in Xinye, and besides, Na Dian Wei and Tai Shici are both generals under Liu Wei."

Yu Ban saw that Sima Yi was a little happy, and he suddenly became even more puzzled.

This Dian Wei and Tai Shi Ci, they are not opponents, and because of the gap between Jingzhou and Yanzhou.

They simply couldn't send a large number of troops to come, and most of Jingzhou's men and horses were used to defend Xiangyang and other counties.

"Now Liu Wei's army is coming, like a bamboo, coming out from Runan to attack Anzhong, Anle, without stopping for a moment, and the soldiers are in full swing and coming towards Xinye."

The meaning of Cao Ren's words is also obvious, the morale of the other party is high, and this is obviously not the time to have a hard time with the other party.

"Anle, Anzhong, it's just a projectile land, if you attack Xinye, you don't have to pay attention to it at all, but why should it be attacked?"

Sima Yi looked at everyone and smiled, then looked at everyone and asked rhetorically.

"It is natural that the effort can boost morale." Li Dian opened his mouth and said.

This was not a conflict in the first place, but now it has made the morale of the Han army great.

"No, it's just a demonstration." Sima Yi looked at everyone, but shook his head and said with a smile.

"Generals, if you think about your worries just now, you can see what it is doing."

"This..."

As soon as Sima Yi's words came out, Yu Ban and the others were also a little embarrassed.

Indeed, the Han army is in its prime, and now although Jingzhou has been taken bloodlessly, they still have limited soldiers and horses, especially Xinye.

And Xinye is not an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, on the contrary, he is still a very easy city to attack.

With such a momentum, it is natural that there will be a little more worry.

"Since it is for demonstration, then the capture of Xinye will inevitably be in a hurry, so that one of its arms can be cut off."

Sima Yi looked at everyone and said confidently.

"Zhongda, you already have a plan?" Cao Ren looked at Sima Yi and said subconsciously.

If Sima Yi hadn't had a plan, he wouldn't have said that.

"That's nature." Sima Yi nodded and said, this first battle must be won, otherwise, it will be meaningless to stay in this new field.

It's just a pity that the Xinye place is too small and there are not many places that can be used, and now Liu Wei has only filmed a vanguard force.

Then he could only swallow this army first, but in the end, it was Dian Wei and Tai Shici.

As the so-called three armies are easy to get, it is difficult to find one, and when the time comes, Dian Wei and Tai Shici will be removed, so it will be worth sacrificing a new field.

On the other side, Dian Wei and Tai Shici led the men and horses towards Xinye.

"General Dian, at our current speed, I'm afraid we can reach Xinye in the evening."

Tai Shici looked at Dian Wei and said, after winning An Le and An Zhong, morale has been improved again.

It is precisely because of this that the army heading to Xinye, although it is said that it does not stop much, but the speed of the march is not slow.

"After arriving at Xinye today, our army can set up camp, and then attack Xinye tomorrow and take Xinye in one fell swoop."

Dian Wei nodded after listening to Tai Shici's words, and now the distance from Xinye is not far,

"General Dian, I think if you plan to attack, you don't need to wait until tomorrow, you can directly attack Xinye tonight."

After listening to Dian Wei's words, Tai Shi Ci said with different opinions.

"Our army is marching all the way, if we attack tonight, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" Dian Wei said after listening to Tai Shici's words.

"Although our army is marching in a hurry and has never rested, but now its morale is high, but it is not without the strength to fight."

"Besides, if it is the Xinye defenders, they will also treat them as tired of our army, and they will inevitably relax their vigilance."

Tai Shi Ci looked at Dian Wei and continued to speak.

After listening to Tai Shici's words, Dian Wei also felt that it made sense, and soon he nodded in agreement.

"Then do what you say, according to your plan." Dian Wei looked at Tai Shi Ci and replied.

The official road was dusty, and the army of Dian Wei and Tai Shici galloped away, and finally arrived at Xinye in the evening, as they expected.

Dian Wei and Tai Shi Ci led the army to Xinye City to call for battle.

"The people in the city listen, if they are interested, they should surrender quickly, otherwise tomorrow's army will attack in a big way, and there will be no one left."

Dian Wei looked at the defenders at the head of Xinye Castle and said loudly, as if to let everyone know that he would attack in a big way tomorrow.

"Let's talk about it when you break through the city." Cao Ren immediately looked at Dian Wei and said loudly.

Tomorrow's attack, that's tomorrow's thing, and now that he is making a lot of nonsense here, Cao Ren naturally disdains it in his heart.

After hearing this, Dian Wei was naturally angry in his heart, "When the city is broken tomorrow, I will be the first to kill you." ”

But I added in my heart that I would go into the city tonight, and I would have to give you a good look when the time came.

After a short time, Dian Wei led the army back, and then began to set up camp.

After Dian Wei's army retreated, Sima Yi appeared at the head of the city.

"Zhongda, this Han army is like a rainbow, this Dian Wei and Tai Shici are not unknown, I am afraid that tomorrow will fight, if it cannot be successful, I am afraid that it will be more than auspicious."

Cao Ren looked at Sima Yi and said, although he was at the head of the city just now, he could still feel the momentum of the Han army.

If it hadn't been a hasty march all the way, I'm afraid it would have been even more ferocious.

I'm afraid that's why Dian Wei chose to obviously attack Xinye.

"Tomorrow? Could it be that General Cao Ren thinks that the Han army will really attack tomorrow? Sima Yi asked with a smile.

Although he didn't appear on the city tower just now, he also heard what Dian Wei said.

In fact, it wasn't just him who heard it, including Yu Ban and Li Dian.

"Zhongda, do you mean that the Han army will not attack tomorrow?" Li Dian looked at Sima Yi and asked.

He had heard what Dian Wei had just said, and they were bound to be tired as they came on a hurried march.

"If you set your sights on tomorrow, I'm afraid that by this time tomorrow, the prison vans that escort us will be ready."

Sima Yi glanced at Li Dian and said, although this kind of strategy can hide from others, but it can't deceive himself.

It seems that they did not seek comfort and peace for all without reason.

"The Han army will definitely attack Xinye tonight." Sima Yi looked at everyone and said.

"How is this possible, so that we can wait for work, how can they attack?"

"Don't forget, in terms of morale and troops, the Han army is far superior to us." Sima Yi glanced at them and continued.

After hearing Sima Yi's words, Cao Ren and the others also reacted.

"Prepare well, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, give them a big gift."

After speaking, Sima Yi turned around and left.
