Chapter 684: An army of hundreds of thousands will hunt in Shouchun
Chapter 684 Hundreds of thousands of troops, will hunt in Shouchun (first update)
Although it suffered a big blow.
But the next day, as the head coach, Xiahoudun ordered Zang Ba to take the vanguard and open the way in front. With Lejin as the flank, a total of 120,000 Ma Bu troops were attacked, and they went to Shouchun.
However, at this moment, it has been more than a month since Kou Feng captured Shouchun.
Shouchun has already changed a lot.
Think about it, how many soldiers and horses does Kou Feng have? Even if Tai Shici divided his troops to station in Hefei, Gan Ning led the naval army to Pengze Lake to dock. There are still nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses.
His generals include Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, Lu Xun and countless others.
There are so many soldiers and horses, and they are in the defensive stage. If you don't add fortifications, you're really sorry for yourself. Therefore, in the past month, Kou Feng first raised the Shouchun city wall to seven or eight zhang, a full twenty or thirty meters.
It's also a lot thicker. The moat outside the city was dug again. Doubled wide,
On the city, there were additional battlements. Kou Feng personally supervised the formation of 100,000 troops in the city. Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei and others are stationed in Tun Wai, and there are 10,000 troops.
The two sides act as horns for each other to ensure the safety of Shouchun.
The whole Shouchun was like a hedgehog, armed to the teeth.
Such a strong city, so many fortifications. With so many soldiers and horses, Kou Feng believes that even if Cao Cao really raises hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from all over the world to attack, I am afraid it will be difficult to overcome.
Besides, Cao Cao had Gongsun Kang, Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi, Wuhuan people, and Huns in the north. There are Ma Teng, Han Sui, etc. in the West, and it is unlikely that they will really mobilize soldiers and horses from all over the country to fight for Yangzhou.
If 100,000 people come here and want to take such Yangzhou, hehe.
It's not that Kou Feng is arrogant, but it's really due to strength.
On this day, Kou Feng sat and read a book in the study of Shouchun Thorn Mansion.
Because it was in the middle of the war, Kou Feng was also afraid of the first-class characters of the assassins. The people who served around him were all soldiers in the army, and this time was not very comfortable.
But the whole person is in a good mood.
"My lord, some spies have found that there are about more than 100,000 troops from the north, and they have now entered Xia Cai." Kou Shui walked in from outside and reported.
"Oh? What are the flags? Kou Feng sighed, put down the book in his hand, and asked.
"Xiahou, Zang, Le."
"Xiahoudun? Xiahou Yuan? Zang Ba, Lejin. There was not much surprise on Kou Feng's face, whether this was Xiahou Yuan or Xiahou Yuan, Kou Feng also had a guess in his heart.
I'm afraid it's Xiahoudun.
Xiahou Yuan is a person who can be invincible and invincible with a partial division. But he was not suitable to command an army of more than 100,000 people. Xiahoudun is the kind of steady handsome talent.
As long as you are assisted by your ministers, even if you don't win, you can remain undefeated.
With more than 100,000 troops, it is impossible for Cao Cao to hand it over to Xiahou Yuan.
"Leave him alone, just keep watching. In addition, Pang Tong, Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei, Gan Ning, Tai Shici and others were also notified to be on alert. We now have 200,000 troops in Yangzhou, as long as we keep to ourselves. I am not afraid of him. Kou Feng said with a smile.
It is he who is strong, he is strong, and the breeze blows on the hills. He is horizontal, and the bright moon shines on the river. His army of more than 100,000 came, and I still didn't move.
"No."
Kou Shui said yes and turned away.
Indeed, as Kou Feng said, the situation has completely changed. If the Cao army had transferred troops in before the Chu army had broken through Yangzhou, not to mention 100,000, it would have been 50,000. Thirty thousand.
Kou Feng may not be able to gnaw on.
After all, the broken army can block ten with one, but if it blocks twenty with one, it will definitely lose.
But now Kou Feng has rectified the army, and 200,000 of them are standing inside and outside Shouchun City like Lin Ruyu. Fortifications, one after another.
It's almost impossible to break through.
Indeed, as reported by Kou Feng's spies, Xiahou was stationed in Xia Cai. Even the pioneer Zang Ba stopped, because further forward was Huaishui.
A spy came to report that Kou Feng had added a beacon near Huaishui, and as soon as they got close, the beacon would be ignited. Gan Ning took a steamer, and in just a few moments, he could be killed.
That's the benefit of having a waterway. Although the Huai River is not as wide as the Yangtze River, if you want to cross it safely, it is also very slow. In particular, their army is still very large.
More than 100,000, it will take at least a day to get over.
The spies spread by Xiahoudun brought back this unfavorable news.
There's also a lot of frightening news. After Kou Feng occupied Yangzhou, the soldiers and horses were not more than 100,000, but more than 200,000. There are four major generals under him, including Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei, and Tai Shici.
The rest of the old Wu generals Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, Quan Cong, Zhuge Jin and so on.
In addition, Kou Feng also learned from Sun Quan's original method of guarding against Jing Chu, and increased the height of the city wall and garrisoned fortifications. Almost consolidated the three defensive rings of Shouchun, Hefei, and Pengze Lake, which did not give each other.
But Kou Feng's advantage is also something that Sun Quan does not have. At that time, Sun Quan was strictly guarded, and even cut off the trade route with himself, and came to cross the river with an iron cable.
However, Kou Feng's army ran rampant in the Huaishui, threatening Cao's army to cross the river at all times. Moreover, Kou Feng's army is large and well-organized. I can defend now, but at some point.
will be sideways. Wipe them out.
As the spies continued to spread, the same kind of information floated in front of Xiahoudun's case like snowflakes. The situation is getting more and more serious, ten or twenty times more severe than imagined.
"How can this be?" Outside the city of Xiacai, inside the big tent of the Cao army camp. Xiahoudun's face was very ugly and asked.
In the tent, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Le Jin, and Zang Ba are all there.
Several people were also silent, very silent.
Although Xun You, Cheng Yu and others are also full of wisdom and calculations. But in the face of absolute strength, it is also very difficult.
Chu Jun.
The military spirit has always been very stable and full of vigor. Kou Feng Mingjun also personally sat in the army of Shouchun Governor.
His subordinates Tai Shici, Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei, Gan Ning, etc. are also rare good generals in the world. Pang Tong is known as the head of Jingzhou scholars, and he is a rare wise man in the world.
Such a combination is not Yuan Shao in the past.
Although Yuan Shao is powerful, his Xia Tian Feng and Fu Zhi are all wise men. Zhang Jaw, Yan Liangwen is ugly, and Gao Ran are also fierce generals. But the key is that Yuan Shao is unknown and faint.
Easy to deal with.
Therefore, Cao's army was able to break through Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of troops with tens of thousands of troops.
But now if you want to break the Kou Seal, it's simply impossible.
"There is no need to test it at all, his defense is simply invulnerable, and even he still has the strength to garrison the army in Shouchun. Nearly 200,000 troops are stationed in Shouchun, but there is no need at all. 100,000 is enough. But he still put it down, he was demonstrating to us, and his army was entrenched in more than 200,000 people. There are more than 100,000 of us, and there are not enough to see. ”
Le Jin smiled bitterly and said.
According to the national soldiers and horses, Kou Feng has more than 200,000, and Cao Cao will only be more, not less. But there are too many constraints. Both the North and the West are enemies.
The Central Plains is the land of four wars.
In addition to the internal enemy, there are also steppe people. And Kou Feng's geographical location is much superior. The Shanyue people in the territory were defeated by Sun Quan a lot.
This time, Kou Feng crusaded against Jiangdong, and another 100,000 Shanyue soldiers came to send them to death. The mountain is restless, and it has to be settled.
The Wuxi barbarians were served in a pot by Kou. It can be said that the territory is peaceful.
The great enemy in his life is Cao Cao alone. He can unscrupulously mobilize the troops of the whole country to deal with local wars. But not in the north.
Seriously, this is also a bit of a bully.
But who called Kou Feng to dominate the southeast, and Cao Cao to entrench in the north. What a gap.
"One day of the enemy, several lifetimes of trouble, this thief cannot be quickly eliminated." Even if he is as strong as Cheng Yu, in the face of Kou Feng's posture, he doesn't dare to talk about entering the army anymore.
Kou Feng occupies a favorable position, and if he is not careful, he can eat them all.
After all, they are state soldiers, and they have already doubled in numbers. In terms of quality, there is no comparison at all.
"Then retreat?" Xiahoudun hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Anyway, the defense of Kou Feng has been fully prepared, and it is useless for us to test it if we don't try. Now we are stationed in Cai, and there is still some time before Shouchun. You can wait and see for a while and wait for the arrangement of the prime minister in the rear. ”
Xun You shook his head and sighed.
After a while, he said: "If the prime minister has the determination to dare Kou Feng out of Yangzhou, then he will mobilize the armies of Jizhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, and Xudu to fight together with hundreds of thousands of troops in Yangzhou and fight to the death with Kou Feng." ”
In Xun You's heart, he hoped that Cao Cao would be able to do this, because Kou Feng's continuous expansion of power made Xun You's heart feel uneasy, and this uneasiness continued to spread.
If you can get Kou Feng down now, you will be able to decide the winner with one blow. If Kou Feng really digested Jiangdong, rectified Shanyue, and consolidated Jianghuai.
Then his power will be further expanded. And it is invincible on all sides, so you can rest and recuperate with peace of mind. And Cao Cao still has to fight every year, whether it is Ma Teng, Han Sui, or Gongsun Kang, Yuan Shang, and Yuan Xi, they can't be eliminated in a while.
But Xun You knew that this was unlikely.
Because Cao Cao's territory is very large and his power is sufficient, the decisive power to break the net is gone. Cao Cao must be safe in his heart.
After all, the power of Gongsun Kang, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others is not small. If the whole world is attacked and Kou Feng is attacked, these people take advantage of the void to enter, and this huge force may fall apart.
Anyway, they are having a hard time in the north right now. Walked into a dead end. Seeing Kou Feng sit unwillingly, but he didn't dare to attack with all his might.
I can only stare dryly.
Although more than 100,000 troops went south, the momentum was violent. But he can only stop at Xia Cai. And they didn't dare to get too close, for fear that Kou Feng would attack brazenly and leave their more than 100,000 troops in Yangzhou.
"Now inside and outside Yangzhou, there are more than 100,000 of our troops entrenched. There are also 200,000 troops of Kou Feng, it can be said that hundreds of thousands of troops will hunt here, and they should be enthusiastic, fight, and set these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. But alas, the confidence is insufficient. Xiahoudun sighed and said decadently.
…………
Ahem, yesterday was the wrong day. I thought there was a thirty-first day of the month. Wasn't it still twenty-nine yesterday, thinking there were three days left this month.
As a result, when I look at it today, there is only a pitiful day left.
Beg, beg.
