After the explosion began to sound in the pass, Yuan Yun didn't have much of the heart to continue to stay on the lookout, since the glider could play a role, it meant that Liu Bei's defenders would be defeated sooner or later, it was only a matter of time.

After getting off the lookout, I happened to see Zhuge Liang assembling his troops, and the heavy infantry, led by Wei Yan, planned to bypass a mountain wall in front of them, and then attack to the location of the city gate, and finally establish a defensive line there, so as to facilitate the bombardment of the artillery battalion behind.

Looking at Zhuge Liang's arrangement, the corners of Yuan Yun's mouth smiled slightly, it was obvious that Wei Yan still hadn't gained the trust of this military advisor, otherwise he wouldn't have let him do this drudgery now.

However, this incident has already happened in history, and there is no specific way to resolve Zhuge Liang's inexplicable attitude at the moment, it is better to wait until Wei Yanduo establishes meritorious deeds in the battle array, so that Zhuge Liang can see it really, and maybe he can change his outlook.

After returning to his camp, Yuan Yun immediately took off his combat boots, then changed into the slippers next to the marching bed, and began to taste tea, as for the artillery roar that had begun in the front formation, he didn't pay attention to it at all.

The reason why the heavy armor infantry is called heavy armor is because their armor is several layers thicker than that of ordinary soldiers, and even compared with the black armor, the protection ability is not bad, so there is no danger at all when they step forward to seize the battle this time, and the opponent's bow and crossbow cannot hurt a single bit.

In the case that the opponent's arrows cannot play a role, it is really easy to establish an artillery position, and the opponent does not dare to rush out to fight, so he can only watch the relentless bombardment of the shells.

Just as Yuan Yun was comfortably leaning on the head of the bed, Pang Tong walked in.

When Yuan Yun saw Pang Tong, he immediately stretched his neck to see if he was following Xu You, but he was very disappointed, because Pang Tong came alone, and he didn't even bring a personal guard.

Pang Tong saw that Yuan Yun was looking behind him, and immediately understood, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Xu You and General Wei Yan went to the front, and he only asked Yuan Hou for a new black martial armor a few days ago, just so that he could make military achievements in front of the battle, so he will never miss any opportunity." ”

Yuan Yun pursed his lips and sighed: "At such an old age, you still have to fight for life and death, why bother, it is better to come to my tent to taste tea and talk about comfort." ”

Pang Tong smiled and said: "War merits are definitely not too little, Mr. Xu You has made many achievements in internal affairs, and the only thing he lacks is military exploits, which has caused him to lose a lot of opportunities to be rewarded, so he is not in a hurry."

However, in addition to Xu You, General Huang was also very anxious, and he was still asking me just now, saying when he would let him go into battle, after all, as a long-range attack unit, it is really unreasonable to always hide behind. ”

Yuan Yun smiled bitterly again, and said: "They are all people who want to climb up, but there is no need to worry, we are going to attack Yong'an County, and the battle achievements in the back are good, but now it is only a small pass, and it is estimated that the battles behind must be very frequent." ”

Pang Tong nodded and said: "As the lord said, in order to block the speed of our advance, the enemy will definitely continue to harass and sneak attack, and Yong'an's city defense must be reinforced, and it is not as simple as we think to capture that city." ”

Yuan Yun snorted, but shook his hand and said: "We don't attack hard, when we get to Yong'an City, we will bombard it every day, first bombing it for ten days and a half months, and then consider whether we need to attack the city." ”

Pang Tong nodded again and said, "That's fine, so that we can lose some soldiers less, and it will also be beneficial to attack Yizhou later." ”

After speaking, Pang Tong paused slightly, then picked up the tea that Yuan Yun had just poured from the table, and drank it all before continuing: "Cao Ang Shizi of the Hanzhong Territory has 100,000 soldiers at the moment, when we advance into Yizhou, will they also attack at the same time?" ”

Yuan Yun nodded and said: "I'm not sure about this, I sent a letter to ask before, but now I haven't got a clear answer, at present, let's only block the exit of Yong'an County first, so that Liu Bei can't go east, as for how to arrange it later, we still need to wait and see." ”

Pang Tong frowned, he naturally knew what Yuan Yun said, this time he came here to find out if Cao Ang had issued a new order, after all, it was really overkill to let Yuan Yun's powerful army hold in Yong'an.

Yuan Yun also saw Pang Tong's intention, so he smiled and comforted: "Shiyuan doesn't have to be so anxious, the matter of breaking through Yizhou, Cao Ang Shizi must also be very anxious, but now Prime Minister Cao Cheng has just crossed the river, many things are still uncertain, leaving us here in Yong'an, just to prevent it from happening, if there is a case on Prime Minister Cao's side, we will not be far from here to drive the past, if we wait until we go deep into Yizhou, it will be very difficult to withdraw at that time." ”

Pang Tong shook his head and said: "Now that the war in Yangzhou has basically been determined, and the army led by Prime Minister Cao Cheng is at least ten times that of us, why should hundreds of thousands of people want us to be behind, so even if we take Yangzhou, we will not be able to get any credit here, in case Prime Minister Cao Cheng wants to personally cut down Shu at that time, we will immediately become vassals, and it will be difficult to show it." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned when he heard this, he was indeed not as far as Pang Tong thought, if Cao Cao really planned to pacify Yangzhou and start to cut down Shu in person, these soldiers under his command and himself could really only become vassals.

"It will take a few months to completely take Yangzhou, Shiyuan doesn't need to worry for the time being, let's just watch." Yuan Yun finally persuaded again, and then began to fall silent.

After a long time, Yuan Yun put down the tea bowl in his hand, and finally made a decision, saying: "If Prime Minister Cao Cheng really has the idea of personally cutting down Shu, I will definitely force the attack before then, and I will not grant the order of the foreign monarch, which is a very good reason." ”

When Pang Tong heard Yuan Yun say this, he finally laughed, hugged his fists and said: "It's good that the lord thinks so, now our soldiers have passed the baptism of several major battles, and they are already brave, plus our equipment and supplies are the best in the world, and it will be inevitable to attack Shuzhong." ”

Seeing that when Pang Tong said these words, his face was full of expectation, Yuan Yun immediately understood something, so he asked lightly: "Shi Yuan said so much, is there any plan for attacking Yizhou in the strategy?" ”

When Pang Tong heard this, he immediately bowed his hand and said: "Since the lord has guessed, I will no longer hide it, I hope that after entering the boundary of Yizhou, I can lead the forward, and go to the front one step ahead of the lord, so that the road can be opened, and the safety of the army's actions can also be guaranteed, I hope the lord will agree." ”

Yuan Yun touched his chin and felt that Pang Tong's proposal was good, after all, when he was in the Yangzhou territory, the gunpowder army was attacked several times, and the main reason was that he didn't understand the geographical advantages, so even if he sent more scouts, there would still be a possibility of being ambushed.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun nodded and said: "This proposal is indeed good, once our army enters the boundary of Yizhou, there will be Lao Shiyuan." ”

Pang Tong got the answer he wanted, so he happily retired and withdrew from Yuan Yun's big tent.

Yuan Yun saw Pang Tong walk out, and lay back on the bed, but after a while, he suddenly sat up again, because he remembered that in history, Pang Tong was used as a forward battalion, and died in Luofengpo, and now he has changed himself into Shu, it won't happen again, right?

Waiting for Pang Tong's matter to be dealt with, the sound of artillery seemed to be weakened, and within a moment, Zhuge Liang sent his entourage to report, saying that the pass in front of him had been overcome.

When Yuan Yun heard this result, he couldn't help but be stunned, it stands to reason that no matter how fast it is, it can't be so fast, the artillery has only sounded a few times, even the opponent's city wall can't be destroyed, how can it be considered a breakthrough?

The attendant quickly explained the reason, it turned out that the enemy had already made plans to retreat when the artillery began to fire, so now the pass was equivalent to an undefended fortification.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yun always felt that something was wrong, the other party spent so much effort to build this Xiongguan, and was scared away by a few cannons?

No way!

Thinking of this, Yuan Yun immediately put on his combat boots and prepared to meet Zhuge Liang, because he really felt that it was very weird, and if the other party didn't have any tricks, he would have a ghost.

Just as the combat boots were put on, Zhuge Liang had already walked into the camp, and the first thing he said when he met was: "Liang feels that there must be fraud in the pass." ”

Yuan Yun instantly put his mind at ease when he heard this, and nodded in agreement: "I also thought of a place like Kong Ming, Liu Bei can be said to be very familiar with the attack method of our gunpowder army, even so, he still built this Xiongguan, but now he retreats without a fight, this is unreasonable." ”

Zhuge Liang thought for a while before he continued: "It's not a way to drag it like this, Liang will let some people enter the tube first, if the other party really retreats without a fight, we will continue to move towards Yong'an." ”

Yuan Yun heard Zhuge Liang say this, and knew that the only way was at this time, so he nodded and said: "Let's do it, it's best to send more people to bring more craftsmen who will be camping, I'm a little worried about whether the other party will be like us in Chaisang, once we go in, they will launch something." ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned, but he quickly shook his head and smiled: "My lord, don't panic, with Liang's understanding, the art of gunpowder is now only available to us, and Liu Bei can't get it from the workshop in Luoyang even if he has great ability, which has been made into a net by Cao Ang's son, even if Liang wants to enter and exit, it is very difficult, so even if Liu Bei leaves the empty city, there is no need to think about it." ”

Yuan Yun also felt that he was overly worried, after all, the workshops that produced gunpowder and gasoline in Luoyang had been made like iron barrels, and it was definitely more difficult to steal gunpowder or gasoline from them than to ascend to the sky.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yuncai smiled and said: "It's me who is too worried, in this case, let's send someone in to take a look, after everything is in order, the army will be pulled out immediately, and after here is Yong'an County, General Zhang Fei is estimated to have been impatient to wait." ”
