0736: The ploy failed
At night, the lights outside the coalition camp were brightly lit, and dozens of squads patrolled back and forth inside the camp, and dozens of secret sentries outside the camp were watching in the dark. At the same time, Yuan Shao and the others also sent Chen Dao, Ying Shao, Cao Hong and others to take turns to prevent the enemy's sneak attack.
sub-hours.
A war drum sounded in the night, accompanied by a loud shout of killing.
"Don't panic! Gather your troops and prepare to meet the enemy! Chen Zhi commanded loudly, "In addition, send someone to inform the three highnesses, as well as the guards in other directions!" ”
It's just that when Yuan Shao and the three of them hurried from their respective camps to the big tent of the Chinese army, they were stunned to find that there was no enemy attack at all.
"Uncle Zhi doesn't have to be like this! Your vigilance is not wrong! Liu Bei looked at Chen Zhi, who was ashamed, and comforted, "Although the enemy army has not attacked this time, who knows that the enemy will use such a strategy?" ”
"Yes, pass on my orders, so that everyone will continue to be vigilant, and they must not relax because of this!" Yuan Shao said in a deep voice.
And after Chen Zhi left, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei's faces suddenly became extremely gloomy, because they both thought of the enemy's intentions. "Hehe, it seems that Zhao Jun doesn't plan to let us have a good rest." Yuan Shao sneered.
"Yes, this is indeed a tired tactic of the enemy, in the past, when he followed the Li thief to fight against the Yellow Turban, he used this tactic to play with hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves with thousands of cavalry." Cao Cao nodded and said in a deep voice.
"Hmm...... I have also heard of that battle preparation, but our army is not as good as the Yellow Turban thief, and there is a camp garrison, I am afraid that the enemy army may not dare to play that trick of fiction and reality. Liu Bei stroked his beard and groaned.
"You can't help it!" Cao Cao said firmly.
"Hmm...... In this way, divide the troops into several units and take turns to defend them. Otherwise, there will be no need to rest these days. Yuan Shao said in a deep voice. Nights are not suitable for large armies, but if they are only small forces, they should not be too worried. ”
"That's very good." Cao Cao and Liu Bei nodded in agreement.
As the three of them expected, Xu Rong used the tired tactics used by Li Yi in the past when facing Bu Ji. Of course, this tired plan has been in place for a long time, but whether it can achieve the desired effect depends on the person.
"It's worthy of the Kanto Sanxiong! It's just the first time you harass, and you can respond to it. Xu Rong sighed after hearing the return.
"General, the enemy army has been strengthened and divided into troops for defense. In this way, no matter whether our army feints to harass or sends troops to attack at night, I am afraid that there will be no other result except for increasing losses in vain. Yang Xiu said in a deep voice.
"Okay, send someone back to Your Highness, and say that the harassment tactics have failed, and the enemy army will attack the city in three or four days at the latest, please take countermeasures as soon as possible." Xu Rong shook his head and sighed.
Xu Rong gave up on continuing to harass, but the coalition forces still didn't take it lightly. Not only did they continue to send more scouts to investigate the surrounding situation, but at the same time, no matter day or night, the generals personally led the troops to garrison.
After all, these three countries alliance army not only has a lot of soldiers, but also a lot of generals who can suppress the soldiers.
Three days later, the siege equipment was manufactured, and after Yuan Shao and the three of them discussed, they ordered Zhang Fei, Xiahoudun, and Zhang Jaw to each lead 60,000 troops to Xingyang, besiege the northern, eastern, and southern gates of Xingyang, leaving only the west gate for the enemy to retreat.
And Yuan Shao and the three of them led the remaining army to continue to stay in the position of ten miles east of Xingyang, constantly exploring the situation in Huaixian and Xuanmen Pass.
The turnstile closes.
"They're really careful......" Li Yi sighed helplessly. Although he had known for a long time that this battle would be difficult, he obviously did not expect it to be so difficult. Yuan Shao and the others obviously had so many more troops than the defenders in Xingyang, but they were still so cautious, and they didn't intend to give Li Yi any chance to cheat.
"Your Highness, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid Xingyang won't be able to hold on for long......" Guo Jia said with some concern.
Xingyang is not a major town, not to mention the defense capability compared with the revolving gate pass, even compared with Huaicheng, Jinyang and other county governance, it is far inferior.
"It doesn't matter, it's as long as it can be delayed." Li Yi waved his hand and said indifferently. Then, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and said to Guo Jiayan, "Send someone to inquire about the situation in Jingzhou." ”
"Your Highness means ......" Guo Jia seemed to think of something, his eyes kept flashing.
"Hehe, if when the coalition army was deep in Si Li, Yuan Shu had already captured Jingzhou. Bonghyo thinks, what will happen next? Li Yi showed a wicked smile.
"But there may also be a situation where the four countries will attack Si Li together!" Sima Yi opened his mouth and said.
"If that's the case, then let them have a good look at why I, Li Yi, have achieved what I am today." Li Yi said lightly, his tone was full of domineering to look at the world.
"We will swear to follow Your Highness to the death!" Hearing this, Guo Jia and others said loudly.
Their expressions were a little excited, and they didn't seem to think that Li Yi's words were too arrogant. But perhaps, this is the charm of Li Yi? Or is it the confidence that comes with strength?
At the same time, Taiyuan.
"General, the main force of the coalition has arrived in Xingyang. In addition, there is no change in Jizhou and Youzhou. Tian Feng reported respectfully.
"Hmm...... Yuan Hao thought, what should I do now? Lu Bu asked politely when he heard this. If there is any biggest difference between today's Lu Bu and the historical Lu Bu, it must be the attitude towards strategists.
In history, although Chen Gong helped him, and later there were Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son, Lu Bu always relied on his own martial arts and the iron cavalry that dominated the world. And now, because of Li Yi's influence, although Lu Bu can't be said to have completely changed, his attitude towards the strategists is completely different.
"Wait!" Tian Feng said in a deep voice, "Now that the war has just started, the enemy and us are just testing each other. Therefore, the lower official thought that the general did not need to be in too much of a hurry, and only needed to wait for the time to come. ”
"Hmm......" Lu Bu nodded noncommittally when he heard this, and then fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Sima Lang on the side said respectfully, "General, why don't you try to win over that Zhang Yan?" ”
Lu Bu's eyes lit up when he heard this, but before he could speak, Tian Feng opened his mouth and objected, "It's not very feasible, according to intelligence, Zhang Yan's wife's sister Zhen Mi is the wife of Yuan Xi, the second son of King Yan." And now Yuan Xi is in Changshan Kingdom, named Auxiliary Zhang Yan, but I'm afraid it's also to spy on him......"
"Xia Guan thinks that it is ......not impossible to give it a try," Zang Hong on the side said, "Even if you fail, you won't lose anything ......."
"Hmm...... Then try it~" Lu Bu pondered for a while and decided.
