Chapter 339: The Battle Tide Changes
"Gong Jin, Wen He, now that Liu Bei is avoiding the war, although he has seen a setback for a while, it can also be seen that his ability is not small, if so, what should our army do?"
Wei Tao saw that Liu Bei should not fight, so he naturally had to return to the camp.
In fact, as far as common sense is concerned, what Wei Tao can do at this time is to attack the city, as the so-called long-term defense will be lost, if Wei Tao really does his best, there is absolutely no reason to say that he can't attack.
It's just that at this time, the troops in Wei Tao's hands were more than defensive, and they were not enterprising enough.
Originally, Wei Tao was going to divide his troops to garrison Xiangyang and Jiangling, and to further guard against Cao Cao and Sun Quan, but the remaining troops in his hands were not much, and it was not suitable for war at all.
Now that he is in a hurry to start a war with Liu Bei, it is also to prevent himself from becoming encircled, and if he really wants to capture Changsha like this, it can be said that it is difficult, very difficult.
"That Cao Cao and Sun Quan are not easy to match, although there is a desire to transfer the army to fight, but it may not be impossible to give our army a blow to the abdomen, it is really necessary to prevent it, and once our army and Liu Bei have been confronting, it is inevitable that there will be no more people who will do the art of combining vertical and horizontal, and then Gongjin's strategy will become an empty scheme!"
Wei Tao's words are true, after all, although Wei Tao's strength can be regarded as the first today, Wei Tao's focus is always on defending against foreign enemies, and it is impossible to mobilize all the generals.
Why is it that every time the front guard Tao comes to the battle, you must know that Liu Bei and Cao Cao were also former generals in the past, but now, although the two of them are in front of the battle, they never go into battle alone.
It is precisely because the sword in front of the battle has no eyes, and one careless person may die.
In fact, except for Lu Bu and Wei Tao, there are all subordinate generals. This is rarely the case. And after Lu Bu surrendered to Cao. Wei Tao is the only one in the whole world.
Without him, Wei Tao is so to boost morale, suppress the other party, the main general is in battle, and the military will be certain, because of this, Wei Tao can repeatedly defeat the strong with the weak, and win more with less.
But that's exactly what it is. Encountering a forbearant like Liu Bei, Wei Tao also felt a headache, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't be the first in the siege.
"Lord, there are no more ways to siege the city, and now with Liu Bei's forbearance and Zhuge Liang's caution, I'm afraid it won't give our army a chance to take advantage of, so my army should make plans again."
At this moment, Zhou Yu thought for a while and then spoke.
"My lord. In today's view, I want to break Changsha. But the first victory over Zhuge Liang, Jingnan and the land of the four counties, in addition to Changsha, the three counties have never been garrisoned by a general, the lord can send Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Zhang Xiu to lead an army to attack it, not to be able to capture its city, but to be able to disturb its heart! ”
When Wei Tao heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement, and summoned the three of them to order them to lead their headquarters to act.
The news of the three counties of Jingnan soon reached Liu Bei's ears, and Liu Bei naturally wanted to look at Zhuge Liang.
"My lord, this is a plan to lure the enemy. Now the situation is like this, which is naturally urgent for our army, but it is also not easy for the general. ”
Zhuge Liang only glanced at it and was sure, but just like this was not what Liu Bei wanted, Liu Bei just asked, hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Kong Ming, you also know what happened now, what do you think our army should do? If it is so stubborn, no matter whether Wei Tao wins or loses, our army will not be able to recover north, and Kuangfu Han will dominate the world. ”
Liu Bei had to be anxious, wandering for half a life, Liu Bei can be said that until now there is a chance to help the Han family unify the world, even if Liu Bei himself can endure it, but under such a temptation, it is impossible to endure it for too long.
Zhuge Liang naturally discovered this, but he could only be silent in his heart, no matter what, Liu Bei was the lord he chose, and after a series of things, Liu Bei also trusted him very much, so that Zhuge Liang also raised the heart of a confidant.
"I naturally understand the meaning of the lord, Liang now has a plan, maybe it can break Wei Tao."
As the so-called soldier dies as a confidant, Zhuge Liang felt the grace of Liu Bei's knowledge, so naturally he would not be the slightest stingy with his wisdom, so he immediately said it.
"Now Wei Tao is under the city, sending various armies to attack Guiyang and other counties, one is to use this to riot our army, and the other is to lure the enemy. However, this is also a conspiracy, after all, it is indeed a move to divide the army, if the lord does this, he will do nothing, I am afraid that he can really only defend his city in vain. ”
Zhuge Liang didn't immediately say his plan, but first said for Liu Bei, hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Liu Bei could think that this was the case, and Wei Tao did have the intention of seducing.
"What Kong Ming said is not bad, at this time, if I don't attack again, it is indeed a brave person, then Kong Ming knows more about the truth and the truth, but please Kong Ming to teach me."
Liu Bei's tone was very sincere, and Zhuge Liang was quite moved, and Zhuge Liang immediately leaned over and said.
"The lord treats me with sincerity, dare not exhaust himself to plot evil? Now Wei Tao dares to do this plan because although the number of our army is numerous, it is not as elite, and the two sides are still evenly divided in terms of strength. In this way, you can see that they are also plotting. If you want to break it now, you should attack it with the right attack, and use it to ......"
Not long after Zhuge Liang made a plan for Liu Bei, Liu Bei gave an order, and then immediately ordered Ma Chao to lead the army out of Changsha, as if he was going to have a big battle with Wei Tao.
"As Gong Jin said, when it comes to this, Liu Bei also has to send troops, just to let me see what Liu Bei can do. Armies, go with me! ”
This plan is a dangerous plan, but Wei Tao is also confident in himself, so he knows that his plan is also based on this, and when he heard that Ma Chao was coming, he immediately led the army to fight.
"Ma Mengqi, do you still dare to come now?"
Ma Chao just led the people of the headquarters to arrive, and when it came to the strength of the troops between the two sides, Ma Chao was far inferior to Wei Tao at all, but Ma Chao was still the Ma Chao who was not afraid of the sky and the earth in the past, and when he saw Wei Tao leading the army out of the camp, he was not afraid at all, and he came straight to Wei Tao as soon as he hit the horses.
"Wei Tao! In the past, you took away my Xiliang, and today I will take revenge, and the whole army will rush with me! ”
Although Ma Chao only led the men and horses of the headquarters, these horses were all Xiliang iron horses, and in terms of strength, they were originally the best army under Liu Bei, so even if Ma Chao gave such an order, he also did not have the slightest fear, and the thousand horsemen charged.
"What a child of the Ma family, don't you know the strength of our army in the Xiliang War in the past? Good! Today, I should let you know that not only are you inferior to me in martial arts, but also far inferior to my cavalry! ”
At this time, Wei Tao also seemed to become angry, regardless of it, he directly ordered his subordinates to launch an offensive, and the thousand cavalry followed behind Wei Tao and also did not hesitate to charge towards the other party.
As for the other soldiers, they didn't make the slightest move, that is, they saw the two armies charging, but the faces of any of them showed their trust in Wei Tao, even if they charged with one army, they also believed that Wei Tao could achieve the final victory.
The two torrents collided violently, and in an instant, many people fell directly to the ground.
"Bell!"
In an instant, Wei Tao and Ma Chao passed by, and the powerful force made the figures of the two of them slightly shocked.
However, when the two armies staggered, Ma Chao's face turned iron-blue.
There were probably two or three hundred people under Wei Tao's command, but the number of casualties in Ma Chao's headquarters was almost twice as high.
Ma Chao's headquarters are no longer the Xiliang Xiongjun of the past, not to mention that compared to the Xiliang time, Ma Chao's status in Liu Bei's army cannot be compared.
In this way, no matter how much Ma Chao gets Liu Bei's weight, it is impossible to arm his soldiers as much as possible when he was in Xiliang.
The former Xiliang Iron Rider has long lost its former glory.
If Liu Bei's army is just like this, then Ma Chao is here to send him to death.
Neither Zhuge Liang nor Liu Bei would do such a thing, but at this time, I saw the two armies rushing out of Changsha City, and the leaders were none other than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
"Wei Tao, take your life!"
Zhang Fei's temper was as fierce as ever, and after seeing Wei Tao, he immediately urged the horse to attack directly, and although Guan Yu was silent, he did not see the slowness of his crotch at all, like a green mantis, quietly walking, ready to launch a blow at any time.
Originally, a charge was to let Wei Tao break away from the rear formation, although it was only a few moments to unite with the rear army, but after all, it lost that indomitable momentum.
However, at the same moment, Wei Tao was even more suspicious in his heart.
"Fueling tactics? Even if Zhuge Liang didn't know the drawbacks of this tactic, how could Liu Bei be so easy to do with his experience in a hundred battles? I'm afraid there's some mystery in it. But what if there is any mystery? Can't I break it myself? What's more, Zhuge Liang, you are plotting, and our side is also calculating. ”
Today, Wei Tao has experienced countless battles, and he has long had the momentum of the world's number one general, how can he be afraid of any little tricks?
Thinking in the center of his heart, Wei Tao immediately drank loudly!
"All the soldiers obey the order! Kill me! ”
From Wei Tao seeing Guan and Zhang leading the army to rush to kill, to Wei Tao's direct order, it was all between lightning and flint.
And Wei Tao gave an order, so he didn't hesitate, and led the army to kill Guan Zhang and the others, and there was no fear at all.
And at this moment, Zhou Yu, who was in the rear army, swept his eyes, showed a faint smile, and then gave an order.
"Pass my order, divide the two armies, surround them from both sides, meet the lord, the front army advances, attack the Ma Chao department, and the rest of the armies will not move."
It is Wei Tao's righteous brother, and he has been in the army for a long time, and Wei Tao also clearly asked Zhou Yu to command the army before, so although Zhou Yu's order at this time was a little surprising, no one dared to disobey it, and all the troops followed Zhou Yu's order.
If it really goes on so smoothly, then the outermost side will be Wei Tao's army, and in the middle are the generals under Liu Bei, Wei Tao is in the middle of the core,
And at this time, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei also appeared above the city unconsciously, looking at the dispute in front of him, Zhuge Liang immediately saluted Liu Bei.
"Lord, his plan is feasible, and I should be sixty percent sure that I can hurt his army." (To be continued......)
