Chapter 513: Surprise attack on Yijing City
In stark contrast to Yuan's army, Cao's army, although Cao Jun has been actively preparing for war, it seems that he has no desire to attack the city at all. In Gongsun Zhan's view, Cao Jun's move is to make a show.
However, Gongsun Zhan understood this very well, and Cao Jun's actions were even worse than he expected. Anyway, in his own expectations, Cao Jun would attack and attack the city or something, but Cao Jun did not make any such moves.
At first, Gongsun Chan still had some doubts in his heart, but as the war progressed, Gongsun Chan had no time to continue thinking about these things, and the Yuan army's offensive was very fierce, so that Gongsun Chan had no free time to think about Cao Jun.
Of course, Zhao Fei couldn't do nothing, and just when the offensive of Gongsun Zan and Yuan's army became more and more ferocious, Zhao Fei ordered the soldiers of Cao Jun to fill up the moat of Yi Jing.
This was the first obstacle to Cao's offensive, and certainly the biggest obstacle to Cao's offensive. After all, if a surprise attack is adopted, the city wall is not much of a threat to Cao's army, and the only threat is the wide moat.
After filling the moat, Zhao Fei ordered Cao's army to withdraw. After all, Zhao Fei still feels very sorry for his soldiers, and he doesn't want his soldiers to go online too much. As for Cao Jun's various actions, Gongsun Zhan was more and more relieved, and it was obvious that Cao Jun had no intention of attacking Yi Jing.
With such an idea, coupled with the strong pressure brought by Yuan Shao's siege, Gongsun Zan finally withdrew most of the soldiers defending Cao's army to make up for the consumption of the war. After all, Yuan Shao's offensive was very ferocious, and the front-line battlefield was quite fierce.
In comparison, Cao Jun doesn't have any pressure here at all. Except for filling the moat, which can be regarded as a war, Cao Jun did not bring any pressure to himself at all. Therefore, the transfer of some soldiers did not have a great impact on the war.
Moreover, even if Cao Jun really attacked the city, then their offensive would definitely not be fierce, Cao Jun did not have the idea of conquering Yi Jing, then he would not be able to take Yi Jing, after all, Gongsun Chan still had confidence in Yi Jingcheng's defensive strength.
Yuan Shao's army has been attacking hard for so long, but there is still no improvement at all, this is the confidence that Gongsun Chan can rely on. Yuan's offensive was so ferocious that he didn't conquer Yijing, let alone Cao Jun, who just wanted to be a showman.
Gongsun Zhan's obvious actions in Yijing City were seen by Zhao Fei, it seemed that the offensive of the Yuan army in the past few days was really fierce, and Gongsun Zhan had no choice but to allocate most of the defense forces to defend against the Yuan army.
Gongsun Zhan's actions were in line with Zhao Fei's intentions, but Zhao Fei still did not launch any offensive, because in his opinion, this was not the best opportunity. Although Gongsun Chan sent many soldiers to defend against Yuan's army, he still did not relax.
After all, Yi Jing was Gongsun Zhan's last support, although he didn't think that Cao Jun would pose much of a threat to him, but he still didn't dare to take it lightly. After all, it would be difficult for him to withstand the blow of losing Yi Jing. If he loses Yi Jing, then he really has nothing.
There was no movement from Cao Jun, and Yuan Shao did suffer heavy losses here. A few days of siege made the soldiers of the Yuan army tired, and Yi Jingcheng was unexpectedly difficult to overcome, and he paid huge casualties, but it did not shake the foundation of Gongsun Zan at all.
Cao Jun was so comfortable, and he suffered such heavy losses, which was a big blow to Yuan Shao. Of course, in addition to the blow, Yuan Shao was also extremely angry, although Yuan Shao knew that everything was going according to the plan, but he was extremely angry.
ordered someone to invite Zhao Fei, but Yuan Shao had a lot to say to him. After all, it has been so long, and Gongsun Chan has also mobilized the army to focus on guarding himself, but Cao Jun has not moved for a long time, which makes Yuan Shao unbearable. He wanted to vent well and let Zhao Fei know that he was very angry at this time.
Zhao Fei came to Yuan Shao's big tent, and when he saw Yuan Shao's gloomy face, Zhao Fei secretly said that it was not good. Obviously, Yuan Shao was on the verge of breaking out at this time, and he was now a flame ready to go, afraid of a little breeze.
Looking at Yuan Shao's gloomy face, Zhao Fei said slightly: "I was looking for Ben Chu to discuss the matter, but I didn't expect Ben Chu to take the first step. ”
Hearing Zhao Fei's words, Yuan Shao slightly restrained his gloomy expression just now, and then asked, "Oh, there are such things, I don't know what Pengju is looking for me?" ”
Zhao Fei looked at Yuan Shao, and then said, "Naturally, it is related to the war. ”
Hearing Zhao Fei's words, Yuan Shao's murderous eyes naturally eased a little. He looked at Zhao Fei, and then hurriedly asked, "I also wanted to discuss with Peng Ju about the war. ”
"In that case, please say it first." Zhao Fei said in a deep voice. Obviously, Yuan Shao has been restrained a lot, and then it's time to talk about business. Although Zhao Fei knew what Yuan Shao wanted to say, out of politeness, he still needed Yuan Shao to say it first.
Yuan Shao nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "Pengju, do you know that the strong attack in the past few days has caused heavy losses to our army, but Pengju's Cao army has not moved, I don't know if Pengju can give me a reasonable explanation." ”
Yuan Shao's words suppressed anger, which made Zhao Fei feel a little unhappy. He was not a soldier under Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao's words seemed to be questioning himself, which made Zhao Fei's mood somewhat unhappy.
looked up at Zhao Fei, and then Zhao Fei said: "I also want to discuss this matter with Ben Chu, I naturally know that the Yuan army has been attacking very fiercely in the past few days, but Gongsun Chan still has not let down his vigilance against our army, and it is precisely because of this that our army has not moved." ”
"At the beginning, you know that if our army is a strange soldier, if our army rashly attacks Yijing, then the losses of the first few days will be in vain, if you want to do this, then I can order the soldiers to attack the city tomorrow."
Hearing this, Yuan Shao was slightly stunned, Zhao Fei's answer was unexpected, which made Yuan Shao not know how to refute Yuan Shao. Although he wanted Cao Jun to attack the city immediately, it was obvious that Zhao Fei's words made him cancel this plan.
For Zhao Fei's strategy, he can be said to have suffered heavy losses, if according to Zhao Fei, his losses are really in vain, then everything is really gray, Yuan Shao will never allow such a thing to happen, no matter what, he will conquer Yi Jing.
After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Shao said: "In this case, when does Peng Ju think it is time to attack, you must know that if you continue to lose, our army will not be able to withstand such losses." ”
What Yuan Shao said was not a lie, after all, such a high degree of loss, even Yuan Shao, who had enough soldiers, could hardly bear it. After all, every soldier who sacrifices needs to be replenished, and it takes time.
