The city of Anhui County, which covers an area of about 70,000 or 80,000 people, can also be regarded as a medium-sized city.

There are only two city gates in Anhui County, south and north, but after Liu Xun rebuilt the city defense, there are urn cities in both gates, and there is also a moat connecting to the Wan River outside the city wall.

However, there is no water gate in Anhui County, and there is still some distance between the county seat and the Anhui River, so it is impossible for Zhu Wei to enter the city by blowing up the water gate.

At the same time, the terrain around Anhui County is relatively empty, and the outside of the city is mainly where the fields and river beaches have been reclaimed, so Liu Xun will set up his base camp in Anhui County, mainly because there is a large amount of fertile land around Anhui County, which can allow him to cultivate and grow grain, so as to meet the military food needs of his army.

Originally, in history, in order to enrich the military rations, Cao Cao also sent Zhu Guang, the Taishou of Lujiang, to cultivate land and plant rice in the Wancheng area.

However, later Sun Quan of Eastern Wu led the troops to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Anhui City, when Zhu Guang was caught off guard in order to harvest the rice, with Lu Meng as the commander, with Gan Ning as the siege vanguard, led the elite soldiers, launched a fierce attack from dawn, that day Lu Meng beat the drum and cheered, Gan Ning took the lead, and followed the city with the elite, and finally the city was broken one day, captured the Taishou Zhu Guang, and captured tens of thousands of Cao soldiers.

Well, as far as history is concerned, Anhui County seems to be easy to be broken by the army of Eastern Wu, but in fact, the terrain around Anhui County can also make it easy for the soldiers defending the city to find the incoming foreign enemy, so if you want to attack the city of Anhui County, you can only attack strongly.

Relatively speaking, outside the north gate of Anhui County, because it is close to the Anhui River, there is not much open space outside the city, which is not very suitable for the army to fight in formation, so after Liu Xun constructed two defensive forts, there is basically not much space for Zhu Wei's army to attack in formation.

At the same time, if Zhu Wei's army was arrayed, it could only rely on the Anhui River or arrange the formation on the other side of the Anhui River, so it was difficult to arrange the army in front of the north gate, and it was not suitable for the siege arrangement.

Judging from the topography of Anhui County, Zhu Wei's best siege direction is the south gate of Anhui County, as for the east and west sides of the city gate, unless it is forcibly climbing the wall, it does not have the meaning of attacking the city.

In front of the south gate of Anhui County, there was a battlefield composed of large fields, which was enough for Zhu Wei's army to line up a formation here, and then launch an attack on Chengchi in Anhui County.

In fact, the biggest problem now is Liu Xun's troops, even if Zhu Wei has so many people in ambush, Liu Xun's 20,000 troops are not fake.

Now Liu Xun sent 10,000 troops to be stationed outside the south gate of Anhui County, obviously with the intention of fighting Zhu Wei's army head-on outside the city.

With this 10,000 Liu Xun's army outside the city, it will be difficult for Zhu Wei's army to outflank the east and west sides of Anhui County and launch a siege on Anhui County, which will definitely be blocked by Liu Xun's army.

Of course, since Liu Xun's army is outside the city, Zhu Wei can't talk about directly attacking the city or anything.

Only by defeating the soldiers and horses outside the city and being able to get close to the city gate and city wall can we launch a real attack on Anhui County, but the 10,000 Liu Xun troops outside Anhui County also rely on the city of Anhui County to put up a defensive formation, if you want to attack, I am afraid that it will also take a lot of effort.

All this hindered Zhu Wei's plan to quickly capture Anhui County.

Therefore, Zhu Wei looked at Jia Xu, Lu Su, and Zhou Yu thinking for a while, but no one seemed to be ready to speak, so he had to name them first, "Gong Jin, I don't know if there is a good plan?" ”

Zhou Yu looked at the banner that Zhu Wei planted on the sand table to indicate the distribution of Liu Xun's troops, and pointed to the place where Zhu Wei was now camping, and then turned his head to the map around Anhui County, Lujiang County, hanging on the side, looked at it, shook his head and said, "Now it seems that although there are mountains around this Anhui County, there is no dangerous place to ambush, if you want to attack it, you can only attack it head-on!" In Yiyu's view, although we have internal forces in the city now, we must first defeat the more than 10,000 troops that Liu Xun put outside the city, this is a tough battle, and there is no other way! ”

"Lord, please see, this Liu Xun's garrison outside the city is mainly near the city, so this place should be the place where the two armies are fighting! There are not many streams and rivers here, it is relatively flat land, the left and right sides of the terrain are higher, then our army should seize the land on both sides, and when the frontal battle changes, you can use the terrain to attack the enemy! ”

Zhou Yu obviously didn't find an opportunity to use the plan, the terrain around Anhui County really has nothing to do, so there is no need to think about the use of the plan, and the question of whether Liu Xun of Anhui County will be successful if the plan is used, that is a hard fight.

In this way, Zhou Yu could only make some analysis of the estimated future battlefield in the open space before the southern gate of Anhui County.

If you can't defeat Liu Xun's soldiers outside the city, then even if there is an internal existence like Liu Ye in Anhui County, it is meaningless, even if Liu Ye opens the city gate, he can't lead Zhu Wei's army into the city.

Besides, the number of troops that Liu Ye can control in Anhui County is actually only two or three thousand, unless it is a sneak attack on Liu Xun's location and a beheading tactic in Anhui County, it may also be effective, otherwise if he really causes chaos in the city, it will be easy to be wiped out by Liu Xun's army.

From the distribution of Liu Xun's army in Anhui County, which Zhu Wei saw now, Liu Xun still has a large number of troops around the Yasi to protect him, and the troops that Liu Ye can control seem to be mainly in the peripheral areas in the south of the city.

Perhaps Liu Ye's plan was also to find an opportunity to help Zhu Wei open the city gate, so that Zhu Wei's army could directly enter the city through the city gate, so he could only put the forces in his hand on the south side of the city.

But the key problem now is that although Zhu Wei can see Liu Ye's situation in Anhui County, Liu Ye can't know the situation on Zhu Wei's side outside the city.

After all, now that Anhui County has been completely blocked by Liu Xun's army, it is difficult for Zhu Wei to contact Liu Ye, so he can only rely on his own judgment to do things.

Therefore, judging from the current situation, Zhou Yu's analysis is still correct, Zhu Wei must first defeat Liu Xun's forces outside the city, thus posing a certain threat to Anhui County, so that Liu Ye's ambush in the city can play a role.

When Zhou Yu was telling, Jia Xu and Lu Su couldn't help but look at Zhou Yu's guidance on the map and sand table, and then Zhou Yu made some specific tactical arrangements for Zhu Wei's existing army.

The main thing is how Pang Yan's Xionglu camp and Zhu Wei's central military camp can set up a position on the frontal battlefield, and then start a battle with Liu Xun's 10,000 troops left outside the city, how to completely defeat Liu Xun's 10,000 army, and then smash Liu Xun's army outside the south gate of Anhui County.

Anyway, it depends on the combat effectiveness of the armies of both sides, the ability of the generals to charge into battle, and then it is the reserve army that seizes the right time to assault......
