Chapter 507: Don't dare to move
Just three days passed quickly, Zhou Yu in accordance with the war book agreed, led the army to Peixian City, after last year's war, the number of troops was sharply reduced, in line with the principle of noble and not expensive, Zhou Yu selected 20,000 relatively elite soldiers and horses from the remaining soldiers to enter this battle, plus the recent conscription of 5,000 elite villagers, a total of 25,000 people stationed outside the city.

And Zhou Yu is not good at cavalry warfare, so only 1,200 people in his army are cavalry, and they are still under the command of Wang Haomin, and Pu Fei has long been transferred to Zhao Yun as a partial general, which is a good destination for second-rate soldiers, after all, there are nearly ten super-first-class soldiers under King Li......
On the other hand, Guan Yu's army, after last year's war, has become a lot smarter, although it is said that the battle has mutual damage, it is considered to be five or five open, but Zhuge Liang will only meet the great enemy of life when he comes out of the mountain, and he can only put away his ambition and seek stability in everything.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang suggested that Guan Yu divide 20,000 troops to garrison in the direction of Jiuli Mountain due west outside the city, close to Jiuli Mountain, and rely on each other with the 30,000 horses in the city who came to support them.
This kind of formation is not uncommon in history, and it can be used many times, and its effect is very simple, that is, after the enemy army rushes forward, it can relieve the morale of the enemy army, and when the enemy army concentrates on attacking one way, it can form a two-way joint attack, which has a miraculous effect.
The very conservative lineup is Zhuge Liang's first short-term forbearance, and it is unknown whether there is a backup move.
Zhou Yu was in high spirits, and Zhao Yun looked at the city head and pointed, as if there was nothing, talking and laughing, and not ordering people to call the battle, an hour had passed, but they didn't know what to do.
Guan Yu at the head of the city is a little dignified, Zhao Yun's martial arts are not as good as him, Zhou Yu's strategy is to stop Zhuge Liang's grand plans, you must know that he also looks down on Zhuge Liang, but after the last battle, he asked himself, if he met his meticulous array design, he would definitely be unable to escape death, so now he is still very convinced of Zhuge Liang.
"Strategist, what's next?"
It's no wonder that Guan Yu is in a hurry, the army clearly has 50,000 horses, but it is forced by less than half of the enemy army in the city and does not dare to fight, what a grievance, in his mind, even if he is pouring into the nest to face the battle and leading 50,000 horses, as long as he does not chase and kill indiscriminately, he will definitely not fall into the trap of the enemy.
Zhuge Liang was indifferent, and looked straight ahead: "Wait." ”
"Wait?" Not only Guan Yu was anxious, but the soldiers behind him were also anxious, this siege and defense of the city, either you die or I die, can you wait.
"Liu Gong ordered you to be the military advisor of the three armies, but it is not that you can get away with it without doing anything, if you disregard the lives of the soldiers like this, don't blame me for waiting for Liu Gong to treat you for a big crime."
Zhuge Liang didn't care, and said: "The enemy knocked on the city, but they were not in a hurry, the left and right vision was difficult to see, and there was a fear of an ambush. ”
Everyone's hearts were cold, and they all lowered their heads by Zhuge Liang's ridicule, in the face of the Li Wang group in full swing, who of them could not be afraid, it is not new to secretly use their own forces to contact the enemy army, but most of them are in order not to be beheaded after defeat, but there is no collaborator to betray Liu as Zhuge Liang said.
It's just that people's hearts are like this, and what they haven't done is justified, but as long as there is a little contact, they will be lacking in qi, they are in a high position, but they are nothing more than human nature.
Another hour passed, and Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun even opened a chess game under the city, and this time it was another hour.
The whole six hours were spent in a strange atmosphere, the people at the head of the city were anxious to urinate, and the soldiers under the city were also a little hungry.
Zhou Yu glanced at the scorching sun, simply threw away the chess pieces, and said, "Let's hit the catapult, make it bigger, and let those people in the west listen." ”
Zhao Yun pursed his lips, he fought three games in a row, and seeing that this game was about to be won, Zhou Yu suddenly came to such a situation, and he was suspected of cheating, but thinking that Zhou Yu might have his own considerations, he did not slack off.
"Put!"
After a few gestures, the bannermen not far away waved the banner, and fifteen catapults on the left and right filled their arms, and with an order, the stones much larger than their heads flew out.
fluttering and smashing on the city wall, causing a lot of shaking.
"Catapult!" Guan Yu took a deep breath and pulled Zhuge Liang to go inside, after all, the stone is not small, and it is difficult to take care of him when thrown from such a distance.
Zhuge Liang shook his hand away and said: "General Guan doesn't have to worry about me, although the enemy catapults are fierce, but there are not many of them, it is impossible to cause devastating damage to the city wall, continue to wait, if my expectations are not bad, their purpose will not be to fight the soldiers at the head of the city." ”
As Zhuge Liang thought, Zhou Yu didn't think about attacking the city today, anyway, the catapult didn't need money to strike, so it was better to make a fuss first.
Zhou Yu does not attack the city, then the purpose is simple, make some movement every day, the 20,000 people of the Jiulishan garrison are under the command of Zhang Fei, and Guan Ping, the eldest son of Guan Yu under his command, assists, but Zhang Fei is irritable, so he doesn't care if you Guan Ping or not, when he hears the movement of Pei County, even if he does not go to the rescue, he will frequently send people to investigate, which will be profitable.
Therefore, Zhou Yu wrote a letter of war first, let them prepare and wait for the battle in high spirits, and then slowly passed, but the battle was hung up, and they were not afraid of the enemy attacking, the enemy's morale was exhausted, waiting for the opportunity, sooner or later there would be a flaw, and one blow would kill.
There is no possibility of stopping the plan, so Zhou Yu went to Peixian in person and played a good show for Zhang Fei, but Zhuge Liang might be able to see his intentions, so he had other plans to deal with Zhuge Liang.
In fact, Zhuge Liang also has a rear move, but this kind of inability to guess the enemy's movements is very uncomfortable, so he is already a little impetuous when he stands at the head of the city, but fortunately, he is stable when he orders left and right, temporarily controlling the morale of the soldiers at the head of the city.
In his previous life, according to legend, when Zhuge Liang went to Huang Chengyan's house to ask for marriage, the yellow-haired, dark-skinned ugly girl gave him a feather fan and asked Zhuge Liang: "Mr. Zhuge , do you know the intention of sending you a feather fan?" ”
Zhuge Liang said: "It's courtesy, affection, and righteousness." ”
But the ugly said: "Do you know that there is another two? ”
Zhuge Liang was puzzled, and Ah Chou continued: "Mr. Zhuge , you just talked to your father about the world's major affairs, and when you talked about your big plan, your air was lofty, and your eyebrows danced; However, I found that when you talked about Cao Cao and Sun Quan, your brows were deeply locked and worried, and this fan I gave you was used to cover your face. ”
A ugly is naturally Huang Yueying, whether he is beautiful or not, at least his invention and life are quite commendable.
Even he understands things better than Zhuge Liang, the eldest husband must be calm in his work, not emotionally fluctuating, emotional, and not let people find out, be despised and despised, and become a big thing. (To be continued.) )
