Chapter 446: Late Strike

Everyone discussed for half an hour, and they didn't come up with any way to minimize the risk, and what Liu Feng wanted to avoid most in this battle was naturally the word risk.

The risk naturally means that the sergeants under his command may suffer a lot of losses, but in the face of about 250,000 Wei soldiers, even if they lose another 20,000 people, it will have a very big impact on Liu Feng's plan to build a defensive line in the city to prevent Yang Xiu from attacking.

But under the peep of the strong enemy, where is the perfect strategy, after some discussion, everyone present fell into contemplation, and even Ma Chao, who was full of ambition when he came here at the beginning, did not open his mouth.

The cavalry that has been trained in Yizhou for several years now has a considerable scale, and the cavalry brought from Chengdu to Jingzhou alone has nearly 30,000 of them, and at this time the cavalry in Wancheng has a full 10,000, Ma Chao thought that his use of this 10,000 cavalry was enough to make the more than 200,000 Wei soldiers miserable and unable to sleep at night, but after making a scout with Liu Feng himself, Ma Chao dispelled his own thoughts, because the more than 200,000 Wei soldiers were guarding around the tiger and leopard cavalry that had defeated him. The distinctive armor, as well as the war horses produced in Youzhou and Bingzhou under their crotch, made Ma Chao unable to take Liu Feng's victory or defeat as his own attempt.

Finally, seeing that everyone was a little silent, Pang Tong, who had not spoken for a long time, looked around for a week and slowly spoke: "Forgive me, if it is according to the lord's idea, then there is no risk at all, even if the gods come here, it is absolutely impossible to think of it, what we are facing is not 200,000 wine bags and rice bags, but more than 200,000 almost the most elite soldiers of the Wei State, plus Yang Xiu, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Xu Chu, Li Dian, Yu Ban and others, which one is not a capable general who has followed Cao Cao to fight for half a lifetime, They are not local chickens and dogs. ”

Although Pang Tong's words seemed useless, and seemed to be expressing his dissatisfaction with Liu Feng, Liu Feng also heard Pang Tong's words, and did not take the meaning of Pang Tong's words to heart at all.

As soon as Pang Tong's words fell, Liu Feng immediately asked with bright eyes: "Mr. Shiyuan criticized well, but I don't know what kind of mentality I should look at this war, after all, if this battle can resist the enemy's army of 300,000 and keep every inch of land we have laid down in our own hands, then the forces of Jingzhou and Yizhou can really be compared with Cao Zhi in the eyes of the world. With the loss of Nanyang, Xiangyang, and even the other counties of Jingzhou, then our previous efforts will be in vain, and it will be very difficult to regain the advantage from Cao Zhi......

Liu Feng took the trouble to explain to Pang Tong what he thought in his heart and why he was a little too cautious in this matter, Pang Tong listened, just smiled and waved his hand, and then said something.

"The lord is anxious about what he thinks, and he naturally understands it deeply, but the lord and the princes have attacked others before, and they have very little experience in guarding, so at this time, they are also trying their best to change the thoughts in their hearts to the things of guarding, but doesn't the lord hear too much? Since our role in this battle is defense, the Wei soldiers who consume a large amount of grain and grass have not yet been anxious, so why should we be anxious? ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Feng, Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and others looked at each other, and they all bowed slightly. Obviously, what Pang Tong said at this time they really hadn't thought about before, and they had already formed a mindset in their hearts, that is, they couldn't sit still in this city no matter what, in case Yang Xiu made the first move, it would be passive.

Seeing that everyone seemed to understand their thoughts, Pang Tong smiled slightly, and continued: "Since Yang Xiu has already joined Xu Chu and Xu Huang, then our army will severely damage its front vanguard and kill more than 40,000 of its people at a very small cost, Yang Xiu and Zhang Liao have naturally already learned, but under this circumstance, they are still camped more than 20 miles away from our Wancheng, and this camp is presented as a corner to prevent the invasion of our army, there is no doubt that there is no intention of storming our Wancheng. At least at this time, Yang Xiu has not yet had the heart to attack, since he has no heart to attack, then in my opinion, there must be a strategy waiting for us, Yang Xiu is a self-proclaimed smart person since childhood, naturally disdain to directly use the advantage of numbers to fight with our army, if the lord can wait quietly in the city, within a few days, the enemy army will move, the left and right lords also do not want to move, it is better to see the enemy's movements first, if Yang Xiu makes a mistake, the opportunity for me will naturally come. ”

As soon as Pang Tong's words came out, everyone, including Liu Feng and Zhou Yu, fell into deep thought.

Indeed, Cao's army came from afar, and the logistics of grain, grass and supplies alone is not a small amount, if Yang Xiu wants to stay here for a few days, if he is stationed outside Wancheng for a long time, even if Wei is rich and rich, he can't stand the consumption of 250,000 troops, so Pang Tong is not wrong at all, if Yang Xiu really doesn't want to attack, he will definitely take action within a few days.

And in this way, Liu Feng, who is waiting to see what happens, can pass on the risk of taking the initiative to Yang Xiu, Yang Xiu, as the attacker who seems to have the advantage on the surface, once there is any action other than a strong attack, it will almost definitely be a false move, and if Liu Feng can break Yang Xiu's strategy, then the victory in the first round will naturally gradually begin to tilt towards Liu Feng.

"Mr. Shi Yuan is really a trick, this remark is really eye-opening, seeking the initiative in passivity, coupled with the judgment of Yang Xiu's temperament, Yu is convinced!"

After figuring out some of the joints that Pang Tong said, Zhou Yu couldn't help but speak out in praise first. This time, he really didn't think of what Pang Tong thought, as a perennial leader of the troops, Zhou Yu, as Pang Tong said before, never thought of waiting for Yang Xiu's actions quietly in this city, what he paid attention to when leading the troops was a preemptive strike, as for the trick of the second strike, unless it was forced to do so, otherwise Zhou Yu and Liu Feng would never think of a person who thinks highly of himself......

With Zhou Yu's words, everyone expressed their approval of Pang Tong, indeed, a dead end was unraveled in Pang Tong's words, how could everyone be unconvinced.
