Now outside the west gate of Moling County, close to the moat, Zhou Yu has arranged two outer villages, and more than 2,000 soldiers are placed in the inside, which can be regarded as a triangular defensive formation with Moling County.

If Zhu Wei's army attacked these two outer villages first, Zhou Yu could command his soldiers to use archery on the city wall to assist the two outer villages to defend against the attack of Zhu Wei's army.

If Zhu Wei directly attacked Moling County, the generals of Zhou Yu in these two outer villages could also rush out with their soldiers, destroy the siege equipment of Zhu Wei's army, and kill the siege soldiers on Zhu Wei's army's side.

Of course, it is naturally Zhou Yu's "Zhou" character handsome flag on the Moling city wall, and the two outer villages outside the Moling City are also erected "Chen" and "Han" character flags respectively.

Judging from the military generals who are currently in service under Sun Ce's account, these two generals are likely to be the veteran Han Dang, who was still relatively young among the so-called Jiangbiao Twelve Tiger Ministers in history, and Sun Jian, who were still relatively young generals.

Obviously, Zhou Yu divided his troops to meet Zhu Wei's army this time, and Sun Ce also sent several troops to assist Zhou Yu in the future, in addition to Chen Wu and Han Dang, in fact, there was a veteran Huang Gai by Zhou Yu's side to follow.

It's just that Huang Gai is temporarily guarding the east gate of Moling County, and the flag is also erected on the east gate, which can be regarded as a retreat for Zhou Yu to retreat to the direction of Danyang, so his banner is not seen on the west gate.

It was precisely by relying on these veterans and new generals of the Sun family under his command that Zhou Yu was able to barely train the momentum of some recruits from the private soldiers of all ethnic groups and the young men who were originally almost a rabble.

But Zhou Yu's position on Moling's side did bring some problems to Zhu Wei's army from afar, so if you want to capture Moling County, I am afraid that it will take a lot of troops.

After Wang Yuyan found out the situation on this side of Moling City, she found a place to set up camp about three miles outside the west gate of Moling City, and did not make a gesture of rushing to attack Moling City.

In fact, there are not many troops in Wang Yuyan's hands now, especially more than 8,000 troops belonging to the original Jiangdong Liu Xuan's soldiers, and the combat effectiveness is not very strong.

Then, the five thousand sword and shield hands around Wang Yuyan were also carefully trained, and the special troops that mainly defended and guarded the Bagua Tortoise Shell Formation naturally would not be consumed in siege warfare at will.

In addition, there are archers and crossbow archers in the Divine Arrow Battalion, which add up to only more than 4,000 people, and they are not very willing to spend on siege warfare.

In this way, if Wang Yuyan only sent the 8,000 Jiangdong Liu Yao soldiers commanded by Yu Yu and Chen Heng to attack Moling County, which is now in such a defensive position, even in the face of Zhou Yu's temporary rabble, it may not be able to occupy much advantage.

In the previous battles in which these Liu Xuan soldiers broke through the defense lines set up by Zhou Yu all the way, we can see the combat effectiveness of those Liu Xuan soldiers commanded by Yu Su and Chen Heng, even if they faced the defense line of Zhou Yu's recruits based on the river bank and bridge, they were already a little weak in offensive.

Wouldn't it be even more difficult for them to attack the city now?

Therefore, Wang Yuyan actually had other plans in mind when she came to Moling County this time, otherwise she would not have sent Cai Mao's army directly to Wu County, and made other arrangements for most of the troops of the Divine Arrow Battalion commanded by Tai Shici.

Of course, in order to reduce the difficulty of the siege war, this time when Wang Yuyan built a temporary military camp outside Moling County, it seemed that she deliberately left some flaws, giving Zhou Yu a chance to sneak attack.

Obviously, Wang Yuyan once again had a plan to lure Zhou Yu out of the city to fight.

But although Zhou Yu discovered the flaw in building the camp left by Wang Yuyan at the first time, Zhou Yu did not have any idea of sending troops to attack at night that night, and it seems that Zhou Yu also understood that this was likely to be the main general of Zhu Wei's army to lure the enemy.

On the first day of this way, Wang Yuyan led Zhu Wei's army to set up a military camp outside Moling County, but both sides had no intention of starting a war, but they spent the night before the war peacefully.

On the second day, after Zhu Wei's whole army had a full meal, Wang Yuyan left Yu Sushuai's 3,000 Liu Xian's soldiers and another 3,000 auxiliary soldiers recruited to guard the camp, and then came to Moling County with all the other military forces, and set up a formation, as if preparing to launch an offensive against Moling County.

Wang Yuyan's nearly 15,000 troops formed a stable quadrangular formation, with 5,000 Liu Xuan's soldiers commanded by Chen Heng in the front, 2,000 archers and 2,000 crossbow archers commanded by Huang Zhong in the back, and finally Wang Yuyan's command office in the middle army under the protection of 5,000 sword and shield men.

In the midst of the waving of flags, Zhu Wei's army also looked majestic, releasing a strong military aura.

And the defenders of Zhou Yu on the side of Moling County saw the formation of Zhu Wei's army, and they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in their hearts, which was the lack of confidence of the new army without much training.

But under the constraints of Zhou Yu, Chen Wu, Han Dang and other generals, the defenders on the side of Moling County quickly cheered up, and also put on a posture of facing the battle on the city wall and in the military village.

And Zhou Yu was on the gate tower of Moling County, looking at the formation of Zhu Wei's army from afar, his brows were slightly wrinkled, although there were tens of thousands of people, it looked boundless, and it was difficult to count the number of enemy troops.

But Zhou Yu, as a figure at the level of a military advisor and general, can still roughly feel the number of Zhu Wei's army, and the number of Zhu Wei's army seems to be less than he imagined.

Zhou Yu didn't know if the commander of Zhu Wei's army had left some troops in the barracks to recuperate and prepare for war, or if there was some other conspiracy, anyway, Zhou Yu already felt a little strange in his heart.

Soon Zhou Yu seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the direction of the east gate of Moling County in the rear, if Zhu Wei's army had any hidden means, it might be to deploy the army to make a detour, preparing to attack Moling County on both sides.

Or, will Zhu Wei's army send troops to bypass Moling County and go directly to support Danyang City?

Although now Zhou Yu also knows from Sun Ce in Danyang City that Sun Ce's attack on Danyang City has reached a situation where the city can be broken at any time, even if Sun Ce leads the army to break through the city wall, Liu Miao can continue to lead the troops to resist in Danyang City.

Therefore, before getting the news that Sun Ce had captured Danyang City, once the reinforcements from Zhu Wei's side arrived in Danyang City, the situation on Danyang City's side would change greatly.

Even if Zhou Yu guessed that the commander of Zhu Weijun's army might not have the intention of rescuing Danyang, Zhou Yu must also consider various possibilities.

Therefore, Zhou Yu summoned one of his heralds at the first time and asked him to go to the east gate of Moling County to inform General Huang Gai that he should be careful that Zhu Wei's army raided the east gate and could not ignore the defense of the east gate.

Although the terrain outside the east gate of Moling County is complicated, and Zhou Yu also has a peripheral defense line in some places, Zhou Yu still has to be cautious, and Zhou Yu is also a little jealous of the current commander of Zhu Wei's army......
