Chapter 47: Siege and Reinforcement (4)
Seeing a rifleman put the dead pigeon in front of him, a smile immediately flashed on Yuan Yun's face, he was worried that the carrier pigeon would be released in the middle of the night in Chaisang City, but he didn't expect the other party to be so careless, he actually chose to fly the pigeon during the day to pass the book, no wonder others.
Generously rewarded the soldier who hit the flying pigeon, Yuan Yun immediately went to Zhuge Liang with the content of the letter, the content of the letter is indeed very important, at least now it is known that Sun Quan intends to unite with Zhou Yu, and then come to contain the gunpowder army.
Zhuge Liang was angry at Zhou Yu for ignoring him a few days ago, and now he should be able to make this mastermind feel comfortable, and then naturally formulate how to prevent the other party's internal and external attacks.
Zhuge Liang seems to be very busy these days, in addition to commanding the battle in the front, but also to manage the baggage sent from the rear, now although the gunpowder army has abandoned Jingzhou, but the supply still has to cross the Jingzhou boundary, this must be a very careful plan, because I don't know if those Jingzhou resistance forces will suddenly come out to attack.
The Baxia that he had captured before had become the focus of this supply line at this moment, Huang Zhong was as Yuan Yun said, since he had chosen to take refuge, he would be loyal, and the intelligence gathered from there had learned that the local forces in Jingzhou had launched several attacks on the Paxia, but they were all stopped by this veteran, and even pursued ten miles out for a time, obtaining a large number of enemy supplies.
When Yuan Yun entered Zhuge Liang's camp, this was the mastermind looking at the letter sent by Cao Ang, and Liu Bei's reaction to Hanzhong was now also the top priority, and the gunpowder army withdrew from Jingzhou, causing Liu Bei's plan to be completely ineffective, but Yizhou and Yangzhou were completely separated, which was definitely not what the other party wanted to see.
At this time, Liu Bei was forced into a trap, and it was not strange that he did anything incredible later, so he had to be strictly monitored, but it was very difficult for Yizhou to send spies in, and the information that could be obtained now was also brought by some prostitutes in Qinglou, and they were all scattered things, which could only be roughly judged after being synthesized, and Zhuge Liang was summarizing this information these days.
Seeing Yuan Yun sitting opposite, Zhuge Liang put down the information in his hand, and then saw the dead pigeon in Yuan Yun's hand, he couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately asked: "Hunted the other party's carrier pigeon so quickly?" ”
Yuan Yun nodded and replied: "Not only did I hunt the carrier pigeon, but I also got the letter written by Sun Quan to Zhou Yu, the content is quite important." ”
Zhuge Liang didn't continue to ask, but as a result, the letter began to read, and after a moment's effort, he smiled heartily and said: "Liang thought that Zhou Yu was going to guard Chibi with an iron heart, but now I look at it, I am afraid that they are very divided internally, and now the main battle faction and the main surrender faction are likely to quarrel again......"
Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang was suddenly stunned, and then gently shook the feather fan and began to pace back and forth in the camp tent.
Looking at Zhuge Liang like this, Yuan Yun was also stunned, and said with a smile in an instant: "It seems that the Lord Descending Sect has raised its head." ”
Zhuge Liang smiled when he heard this, and said: "Not only is it up to you, I'm afraid that the people in charge of the Sun family are also planning to surrender, after all, Prime Minister Cao Cheng's army is on the north bank of Chibi at the moment, and we are directly in the rear, and although Jingzhou is not occupied by us, it has also lost its value as an ally of the Sun family, Liu Bei is far away in Yizhou, and the Sun family has no chance of winning."
At this time, they can only think about how to surrender with dignity, otherwise when Yangzhou falls, they can only choose to flee to sea. ”
Yuan Yun continued: "This dignified surrender is estimated to be a bargaining chip to destroy our gunpowder army, and at this moment Sun Quan sent a flying pigeon handbook, probably to strengthen Zhou Yu's thoughts, so as to seize the opportunity for us to go deep into Chaisang and wipe us out, it is best to capture my Yuan Yun, so that they can bargain with Prime Minister Cao Cheng." ”
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he actually sighed and said: "If you change to Liang, you don't want to leave Chibi at this time, because once you leave, it will be equivalent to declaring defeat, and retreating without a fight as the main general is the most difficult to accept." ”
Yuan Yun smiled and continued: "It seems that this Metropolitan Governor of Zhou Yu is still hesitating, otherwise Sun Quan will not pass the book to him, so we can calmly prepare, and then face this Metropolitan Governor." ”
When Zhuge Liang heard Yuan Yun say this, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Doesn't the lord plan to flee immediately after storming Chaisang?" If we wait for Zhou Yu's army to come, we will face several times our own strength, and it is still a well-trained army.
Not only that, when facing Liu Qi's army before, the other party had already used a big shield that could restrain our bullets, and the Sun family must be equipped more, and the tanks we brought were even more difficult to move around Chaisang, after all, it was rugged here, and it was the time of the snow at this moment, and the surface was muddy, in this case, even if we were well-armed, if we were surrounded by the other party, it was still very likely to be defeated.
Therefore, Liang still suggests that we should be flexible and mobile, and then drag the opponent to fight while walking, so that if the opponent wants to catch up with us, we will not be able to concentrate the army, and we can break the ...... one by one."
Yuan Yun patiently listened to what Zhuge Liang said, and then interjected: "That time has dragged on for too long, if Prime Minister Cao Cheng takes the lead in attacking, we can only be incorporated into his army, you must know that at this moment, the mastermind next to Prime Minister Cao is Chen Qun, he will not be polite to us, so we must defeat Zhou Yu before that, and then quickly withdraw from Yangzhou, and then control Jingzhou from the new."
As for how to win against Zhou Yu, I have an idea. ”
Zhuge Liang was slightly surprised, although he felt that Yuan Yun, the lord, was very unreliable most of the time, but he could still come up with some wonderful ideas at the key points.
Looking at Zhuge Liang's doubts, Yuan Yun secretly sighed, no matter how smart Zhuge Liang is, in the use of gunpowder, he still stays at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there are really few tactics that can be used.
After thinking about it, Yuan Yun didn't explain, but asked: "After occupying Chaisang, once Zhou Yu comes, we will leave the city and flee immediately, Kong Ming thinks what is the first decision of this Grand Governor?" ”
Zhuge Liang replied without thinking about it: "Naturally, Chaisang will occupy it again, after all, there are walls to defend, and no one will be willing to fight us in the wild." ”
Yuan Yun had already folded the letter from Sun Quan to Zhou Yu into a paper airplane at this time, and then threw it out so casually, and after seeing the plane draw a beautiful arc in the air, he continued: "If Zhou Yu wants to come over to encircle us, he will inevitably bring elite troops, and the number of people cannot be too large, and the most we carry this time is gunpowder, as long as we bury it all in Chaisang City, and then ignite it after Zhou Yu enters the city, I don't know how much chance Zhou Yu has to win after being bombed?" ”
Zhuge Liang was stunned, but in an instant, he reacted, so he laughed and said, "If you can wipe out all of Zhou Yu's main forces in Chaisang City, the next battle will only end in our victory." ”
Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang paused slightly, and now he also felt that in the use of the gunpowder army to fight, he was very lacking in a lot of knowledge of firearms, since Yuan Yun proposed to give up Chaisang, once Zhou Yu entered the city, he could block it at the city gate, and the city wall became an obstacle to restricting the other party's movements, so after hearing Yuan Yun's idea, he immediately felt that the success rate of this operation was very high.
Seeing that Zhuge Liang did not object, Yuan Yun immediately rubbed his hands and said: "We have worked hard to carry those Gatlings from Luoyang, and it is time to show our might, this time I want to see if those so-called bulletproof shields can block our machine guns." ”
As soon as the plan was made, the gunpowder corps took action to attack the city, and the artillery became the vanguard again, and when one of the walls was blown down, the assembled rifle battalion, under the escort of the infantry battalion, began to advance step by step.
Seeing this scene, Sun Quan had to order a retreat to the city, preparing to start a battle with the gunpowder army, hoping to continue the cover of the buildings in the city and delay the fate of being conquered as much as possible.
After the gunpowder army entered the city, it was indeed effectively blocked, and the other party continued to wander among the streets and alleys, constantly shooting cold arrows, which made the gunpowder soldiers who had just entered the city a little helpless.
Looking at such a scene, Zhuge Liang sighed deeply, and only at this time did he feel that most of the previous battles of the Gunpowder Army were to kill and injure the enemy from a distance, and almost all the way to such a victory, and now they have to rely on close combat, and many soldiers are very uncomfortable, which is definitely not a good thing.
However, this passive scene did not last long, and when the well-trained Gunpowder soldiers finally relented, the battle began to fall one-sided, relying on the convenience of gunpowder bullets and rifles and crossbows, and the casualties of Sun Quan's defenders immediately increased.
And the most direct thing is that Pang Tong directly gave the order, not caring about accidental injury, so many gunpowder troops will throw a gunpowder bullet or shoot a rifle platoon before rushing into the house.
When Yuan Yun saw such an indiscriminate killing of innocents, he wanted to stop it, but he couldn't see his own people being killed, so he simply chose to be out of sight and retreated directly to the base camp outside the city.
The battle continued until the evening, and finally ended with Sun Quan's hasty retreat, and the whole city of Chaisan was miserable, with dead bodies everywhere, including some civilians.
Yuan Yun's face was very ugly, so Liu Yiyi also put away her spicy temper, and now she is just obediently doing the duties of a little daughter-in-law, serving tea and pouring water, beating her back and pinching her legs, so that Yuan Yun can enjoy it for a while.
"Now that I come to my camp more and more often, the rules in the army should still be paid attention to." Yuan Yun still spit out a word of displeasure, after all, she is in the barracks at the moment, and it is already very outrageous to let Liu Yiyi follow, and now she is still frequently in and out of her camp, which is indeed very inappropriate.
Liu Yiyi's face was full of indifference, these soldiers in the army had to rely on her to send the spoils of war at the moment, so her position in the barracks was very solid, no one dared to offend her, or Yuan Yun's personal soldiers would not have let her come and go freely so leniently.
Yuan Yun saw that Liu Yiyi was still smiling, knowing that what he said just now was in vain, but the rules were the rules, and he almost didn't dare to say anything to Liu Yiyi when he marched all the way this time, because he didn't want to affect others, so he planned to say this rule again.
As soon as Yuan Yun's words came to his mouth, he suddenly saw Xiao Liu walking in with a smile, and then hugged his fists and said, "Lord, Sun Quan has already run away, and we have also taken Chai Sang, and we have also captured an important prisoner." ”
Yuan Yun was stunned, the only prisoner he cared about in Chaisang City was Huang Gai, and when he thought of this, he immediately said happily: "But I caught ......"
This time he still didn't finish speaking, and he saw that two guards had already escorted one person in, and the figure turned out to be a woman, and when he got closer, Yuan Yun was really a little surprised, because this woman was Sun Shangxiang.
