"How did you go last night? Did you follow our previous discussion, and what actions did the defenders in Wancheng do? ”

When the rain passed and the sky was sunny and the sun was shining, Yang Xiu summoned Li Dian to his tent alone, and asked a little eagerly, Li Dian saw Yang Xiu's somewhat blackened eye sockets, and knew that Yang Xiu was probably worried about the progress of this strategy and almost stayed awake all night.

In fact, Yang Xiu's efforts are indeed seen by the soldiers, and the strategies he proposed do have a certain degree of feasibility, but I don't know why, compared with Cao Cao before and Sima Yi now, they always feel that Yang Xiu lacks a sense of aura. Maybe this is the talent of a commander, although Yang Xiu is smart and quick-witted, but his talent is definitely not in war, like Cao Cao, Sima Yi and even Zhuge Liang, such strategic wizards, often able to vary from person to person, according to local conditions, and formulate their own unique strategies in the current war, but Yang Xiu obviously can't do so, the strategies he specifies are often based on the battle examples on the war strategies he has read, such a strategy, how can he deal with a really powerful enemy?

This vague thought flashed in Li Dian's mind, although he had been by Cao Cao's side since Cao Cao started his army, but he was a hard-working person, and he had never been resentful of being robbed by the guys of the Cao family and the Xiahou clan for decades, so at this time, facing his boss Yang Xiu, he did not ask any questions, only answered according to the facts.

"As the general expected, when we moved those old large siege equipment to the hidden depression, the defenders of Wancheng were already aware of it, but because of the distance was very far away, and the heavy rain last night, the vision was not clear, and those defenders should not have seen what it was at first, and then they ventured to the nearest place, and our army sent tiger and leopard cavalry to chase and kill them, and after several pursuits, they killed more than a dozen of their scouts, But General Yu Ban and I have already told the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to deliberately let two of the wounded enemy scouts escape, and it is estimated that these two people have definitely seen the siege equipment we are transporting, and will definitely inform Liu Feng in the city of this! ”

After listening to Li Dian's report, Yang Xiu's originally tense face was a little relieved, and the most important step in his plan was naturally to let Liu Feng know about his transportation of large siege equipment.

In this era when the people were not living in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there were very few large-scale siege equipment, although Wei did have some, but this time Yang Xiu came to capture Jingzhou but did not carry it, and the equipment in his and Li Dian's mouths was the damaged equipment of the previous dynasty, which was used by Yang Xiu before the expedition, and its purpose was to lure Liu Feng today, what he imagined in his heart at this time was that after Liu Feng led the army to reach the depression, he saw that what he was on display there was nothing more than some dilapidated and unusable equipment, And what it will be like when you are under siege again.

"So good! You must step up your care, and you must not let the defenders of Wancheng find out that something is wrong when they get close, once Liu Feng is really fooled, after capturing Wancheng, you should take the first credit! ”

Li Dian took the order at the moment, Yang Xiu took a deep breath, and warned himself that he must be like a qualified hunter at this time, quietly waiting for the time to come, more than 200,000 troops, tonight there will be less than 50,000 left in the camp to hide people's eyes, the rest will all go to the periphery of the depression to set up an ambush, waiting for Liu Feng to lead the army to arrive, he believes that once Liu Feng finds that his large siege equipment is near Wancheng, he will definitely try his best to destroy it, if he can't destroy these large equipment, Then once you activate it, it will cause great damage to Wancheng.

On this side, Yang Xiu imagined his perfect plan in his mind, while on the other side, a discussion that had started in the middle of the night and had continued until now was still going on.

Before, Liu Feng was afraid of disturbing everyone's rest, but summoned Pang Tong's people to his hall, after Liu Feng informed Pang Tong of the matter, Pang Tong also deeply agreed that this was Yang Xiu's strategy, but the two of them had a disagreement on whether the equipment placed in the depression was worth seizing, and it was not until after dawn that Zhou Yu also inquired that the two were still discussing the matter.

"Since the lord also concluded that these so-called siege equipment were not usable things, why did he insist on transporting those weapons back? If we don't care about those equipment, we just plan and use some sergeants to contain the Wei sergeants who may be ambushing around the depression, and then adopt other strategies, so that we can catch Yang Xiu off guard. ”

After Zhou Yu asked about the cause and effect, he also stood on Pang Tong's side, thinking that it was useless for Liu Feng to ask for those so-called siege equipment.

"Gongjin's words are wrong, since you are forced to force each other, I will tell the reason, and you will wait to see if this matter is worth it." The reason why Liu Feng insisted on those instruments that should be useless but were just used as bait by Yang Xiu also had his own ideas, which was also related to a secret of Liu Feng's forces, and this secret, at this time, only Liu Feng and Xu Shu knew about it, until the time when it was really a last resort, Liu Feng didn't want this matter to be known by others, but at this time, he didn't give Zhou Yu and Pang Tong a reasonable explanation, The two of them would never agree to take the risk of losing their troops to bring back the things they saw as waste.

When the two of them heard this, they all looked like they were listening attentively, waiting for a reasonable explanation from Liu Feng's mouth.

"The two of you have naturally heard of my Yizhou and Jingzhou's craftsman battalion, the craftsman battalion was set up in Jingzhou at the beginning, in order to refine 100 steels to create armor weapons for my sergeants, and then as I waited in Yizhou, in a county between Chengdu and Nanzhong, the specific responsibility was handed over to Yuan Zhi, Yuan Zhi over the years, almost half of his energy was spent on the craftsman battalion, and it is precisely because of this that our army's armor, weapons, bows, crossbows and arrows can be much stronger than the enemy."

Speaking of this, Liu Feng raised his eyes and looked at the two, the two were obviously no strangers to the craftsman camp, but they heard about it mostly in the mouths of others, but when they heard that Xu Shu put almost half of his energy on the craftsman camp, the two finally showed a look of surprise, Xu Shu and Pang Tong had a very good personal relationship in Yizhou, but Pang Tong had almost never heard about the craftsman camp in Xu Shu's mouth, so the craftsman camp was really a little mysterious.
