Although Zhuge Song was full of confidence and repeatedly said that the clever plan could not be said now, otherwise it would not work, Guan Yu still asked Zhuge Song to set up a military order to defend the north of Fancheng, and only then agreed to leave only 2,000 troops here in the Yankou River. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Guan Yu led 10,000 troops to build a camp on the side of Fancheng on the Yankou River, which can be said to be very strong. After all, the valley mouth was not big, and it only needed to be designed according to the capacity of 2,000 defenders, so in less than two days, a small camp to defend the valley mouth was built quickly.

Then Guan Yu led his troops back to the outskirts of Fancheng, while Zhuge Song began to set up another camp at the valley mouth of the Jinkou River facing Xinye.

It is said that it is a camp, due to the limited time, in fact, in less than a day, Zhuge Song's two thousand troops only dug some simple traps and placed some wooden fences at the mouth of the valley, this kind of fence is not the kind of erection that is widely used in modern times, but only uses hemp rope to tie up a few round logs that are not as thick as the mouth of the bowl, and the grass is placed at the mouth of the valley. Of course, this kind of thing could not stop the infantry charge at all, including the small pits, which were only a few feet square, and were all used to prevent a wave of advance by the forbidden troops and slow down the cavalry.

As for asking what to do if Yu Ban used heavy infantry to charge Zhuge Song, Zhuge Song only had 2,000 people in his hands, and after the camp here was built, he would have to divide 500 people to defend the camp on the side of the Fancheng side of the Yankou River, and among the 1,500 people who guarded the simple camp with Zhuge Song, there were only 200 archers, but Guan Yu had left him enough rockets according to Zhuge Song's requirements, and each archer was equipped with two, which was already a very luxurious equipment.

Of course, Zhuge Song would not be so naïve that when Yu Ban came to fight with him during the day, he fought and retreated, and Yu Ban saw the pile of wood in the valley and desperately chased this kind of thing. Judging from Cao Cao's performance after being surrounded by Zhang Xiu in Wancheng a long time ago and fleeing from the wilderness, Yu Ban would definitely not make such a low-level mistake in front of Zhuge Song.

Although Zhuge Song came to the conclusion that this place is not only suitable for water attack but also for fire attack after inspecting the terrain of the Yankou River before, it is not so easy to really burn to the ban, or even burn the ban. After all, there were only 2,000 troops under his command at this time, and the trees in the Tsuguchi River were neither many nor dense, and the cliffs on both sides were difficult to climb and could not be condescending, so it was indeed difficult to arrange a fire attack on 20,000 horses.

However, Zhuge Song himself thought of a strategy that he didn't have the luxury of burning all the forbidden troops with a fire here, although he knew that the burning was not painful, but there was always a way to burn the forbidden qi in a hurry!

So in the next few days, Zhuge Song led the army to guard the valley mouth, but on the other hand, the valley mouth was sparsely guarded, and the entire simple camp facing Xinye could not even be regarded as a camp, and this camp could only be described more appropriately by a roadcar.

All the small traps Zhuge Song dug hundreds in front of the "road card", but each did not use any covering to cover, Zhuge Song even thought that it was too troublesome to make traps, in the small traps there was not even the least sharp blade or sharp sticks, that small traps are actually no different from very ordinary small dirt pits, no more than a few feet deep, unless it is a cavalry rushing over at high speed to charge, ordinary infantry even if they fall in, it will not take long to climb out.

Of the 1,500 people on this side, only 500 were left to guard the roadblock, because Yu Ban's rangers only rode a dozen horsemen every time they came to sentry, and only 50 archers out of the 500 people were enough to prevent them from breaking through the "roadcar".

The rest of the 1,000 people began to prepare things that could be burned with Zhuge Song, such as dead branches, dry grass, and trees that were difficult to grow into trees that were twisted and crooked.

In this way, another three days passed, as Guan Yu's attack on Fancheng became tighter and tighter, the combustibles set up by Zhuge Song in the Yankou River were basically ready, and at this time, Yu Ban's army finally appeared in Zhuge Song's field of vision.

Zhuge Song did not doubt at all that from Fancheng to Xinye, in addition to the main road that can accommodate a large group of people to pass through, there are countless small roads that can accommodate dozens of people or even one or two people to communicate with each other. Therefore, when he made a suggestion to Guan Yu, he proposed that in order to break through Fancheng before the forbidden reinforcements arrived, he only hoped that he would attack Fancheng on three sides and let go of the north of Fancheng without encirclement. First, this can reduce the determination of the defenders to hold the city, even if Cao Ren can make up his mind to live and die with the city, but when his soldiers know that there is a route to escape at any time, they will definitely not be more resolute in defending the city than being besieged from all sides, which is the siege of three and one that is often talked about in the art of war.

Of course, the reason why Zhuge Song suggested to Guan Yu to surround the three and one was more because the messenger who asked Cao Ren for help could smoothly reach Xinye from the small road and induce Yu Ban to come to the rescue, which Guan Yu never imagined.

Otherwise, Guan Yu on the side of Fancheng besieged the city on all sides, but Yu Ban's side still didn't dare to move forward because he couldn't know Cao Ren's distress information, so even if Guan Yu had to attack Fancheng in the end, he would definitely suffer heavy casualties, and he would not be able to continue to break Yu Ban.

And inducing Yu Ban to come is still an indispensable element in Zhuge Song's entire strategy of trying to keep half of Jingzhou.

At this time, Zhuge Song stood by the "Luka" and looked at the faintly visible brigade in the distance, and when the number of people reached a certain level, the accuracy of estimating the army with the naked eye would drop sharply. Although Yu Ban's sentry has made several simple assessments of the number of people in Zhuge Song's "roadblock" from a distance in the past few days, judging from the situation that the enemy army is out of sight at this time, even if it is not 20,000 people pouring out of the nest, it is absolutely certain that it will be more than 10,000.

Zhuge Song whistled happily, and almost without any hesitation, he ordered the whole army to move to the second camp, leaving only himself and a dozen horsemen around him, plus two hundred archers to break the back.

Yu Ban's army stopped outside the range of Zhuge Song's archers, and Zhuge Song stood on a high platform behind the "Luka", looking at Yu Ban with slightly squinted eyes. It was just after noon, and it was the sunniest time of the day. Yu Ban's army thought that they had been walking on the road from Xinye for most of the day, and the men and horses were all tired.

Yu Ban pondered for a while, then turned his head back and didn't know what to say, and then the cavalry units at the front of Cao's army dispersed in turn, making way for the follow-up infantry.

Because it was also a long march, these infantry did not carry heavy shields that could form a phalanx to form a shield array. They all looked very lightly armed, and the first to rush was the broadswordmen, and although they seemed to want to rush faster, it seemed that the morning's march had left them with little strength. In addition, they have to avoid dense pits, which do not seem to pose a danger to their deaths, but their instinctive behavior still limits their speed by these unsheltered pits.

This is the reason why Zhuge Song didn't roughly camouflage these pits, because no matter how many pits are dug and how well they are covered, it still seems too insignificant to face an enemy ten times their size, and it is better to let the enemy see the danger in front of him so clearly, or an obstacle, after all, compared with falling into the pit and making a dizzy face, the soldiers are still willing to choose a good way to go.
