Chapter 309: Change of Formation

Meng Da hurriedly walked to the command platform with Deng Xian, interrupting the conversation between Wei Ba and Wu Yi. Meng Da's face was covered with dust, his eyebrows were frowned, his face was tense like a piece of pig iron, and he was on the verge of attacking. Deng Xian looked even more miserable, with a scar on the left side of his face, half of his face was swollen, his breastplate was full of blood, and his left eye was squeezed into a slit, but his right eye was round. One eye is big and the other eye is small, and it looks a little weird.

Wu Yi glanced at them in surprise, and moved his fingers quietly, and Wei Ba, who was sitting opposite him, immediately understood, got up and gave Meng Da a seat. "General Meng, please be seated."

Meng Da waved his sleeves and shouted angrily: "That's it." ”

Wu Yi's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "Zidu, what's wrong?" The battle didn't go well? ”

Meng Da smiled: "Yes, the battle didn't go well." Today, he was hurt by Sima Yi, a brute, and every time he was about to break the city, he came with a batch of reinforcements. As soon as the drums sounded, the reinforcements at the head of the city launched a frenzied counterattack, and I had already suffered more than 4,000 casualties. He turned his head and said with something in his words: "Ziyu, shouldn't you take out the hand you left?" Wait any longer, but it's too late. ”

Wei Ba understood as soon as he heard it. Meng Da suffered too much loss and asked Wei Feng to join the war. Now the Shu army around Fancheng is mainly divided into three parts, seven or eight thousand people led by Meng Da, more than 10,000 people of the imperial court army led by Wu Yi, about 5,000 Feng Jin and others, and the rest of Zuihou is the six thousand elites led by Wei Feng. The first three are now fighting fiercely, Meng Da and Wu Yi have lost more than half, and Feng Jin and others have lost nearly one-third. Only Wei Feng has been hidden in the mountains and forests except for the battle of killing Hu Zhen, so there is no loss. Meng Da asked them to participate in the war, but he was worried that he would lose too much and his vitality would be greatly damaged. Half of his men were his private soldiers, and if these private soldiers suffered too many casualties, the liliang loyal to him personally would be weakened.

"What's the matter, Zidu is not confident?" Wu Yi pushed over a glass of wine and said unhurriedly.

"It's not that I'm not lacking in confidence, it's here. Don't defeat Sima Yi. The defenders of Fancheng are not dead. We're hard to come by. Seeing that Wu Yi was so calm, Meng Da refused to lose face, took the wine, and drank it all in one gulp. Only then did he slow down his tone: "General." I, Mengda, am incompetent. Failing to conquer Fancheng as scheduled is really a shame on the trust of the general. ”

Wu Yi smiled and was silent, and Meng Da had something to say. seems to blame himself, but he actually questioned Wei Ba's Jihua, but the words were very vague. He thought about it, shook his head, and said, "Zidu, it's not that you are incompetent, it's that Sima Yi is too cunning. I believe that if it weren't for the arrival of reinforcements one after another, you would have taken Fancheng a long time ago. ”

Meng Da snorted and didn't answer Wu Yi's words. He picked up the spoon on the table, filled Wu Yi with wine first, and then added a glass to himself, held it in his hand, and slowly turned the wine glass. "And what are the general's plans now?"

"I was about to consult with you, but you came first. So, let's figure it out together. Wu Yi glanced at Wei Ba: "Ziyu, you tell our Jihua to Zidu again, see if he has any opinions, and consider it together." ”

"Whoa." Wei Ba saluted respectfully, took out a sketch and spread it on the desk. "General Meng, because of Sima Yi's strange moves, we lost the best chance to break through Fancheng, and now we have to change our formation. After two days of onslaught by General Meng, we believe that there is only one breath left in Fancheng, but as General Meng said, this breath is not in the city, but outside the city, on Sima Yi's army. If you want to break Fancheng, you must first break Sima Yi. As soon as Sima Yi was defeated, the defenders of Fancheng naturally collapsed. ”

Meng Da nodded, stroking his beard and saying nothing. Deng Xian interjected: "At this point, our army, including the water division, is only more than 10,000 people, and Sima Yi's strength still surpasses ours." Relying on the positional defense, we can still support for a while, if it is a counterattack, wouldn't it be in the arms of Sima Yi? He sneered: "Unless Brother Venerable goes to battle, they have been recuperating and have no loss at all." ”

Wei Ba looked at Deng Xian and knew that Deng Xian had an opinion on Wei Feng. When he was beaten by Sima Yi and fled in Dunse, Wei Feng and the others should have been nearby, but Wei Feng never showed up, let alone supported him. His more than 3,000 people fled back only about 1,000 and suffered heavy losses.

Wei Ba couldn't figure out that Wei Feng and Ma Jian hadn't done it yet, and it was understandable that they didn't support Deng Xian, but the battle here was so fierce, and they still didn't make any moves, which seemed a little abnormal. He believed that this must have been Ma Tan's idea, so what was Ma Tan thinking? Could it be that he just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to weaken Meng Da's strength? If you think so, it's a bit of a bad thing.

But in front of Meng Da, Wei Ba couldn't say that, he smiled: "General Deng, you are right, this time, it is the time to use this strange soldier." He pointed to the sketch with his finger to draw Meng Da and Deng Xian's attention back to the tactical arrangement. Deng Xian was originally angry, but since Wei Ba said that he would use Wei Feng's team this time, he had nothing to say, so he had to listen to Wei Ba's explanation.

Because of Sima Yi's unexpected move, the best chance for the Shu army to break through Fancheng has been lost, in response to the current predicament, Wei Ba and Wu Yi discussed it, and decided to give up the siege for the time being, and defeat Sima Yi first. Sima Yi's strange move was a double-edged sword, and while disrupting the deployment of the Shu army, he also pushed himself into a desperate situation. He is now riding a tiger and it is difficult to attack, and then attack, the casualties will inevitably be very large, and the victory will be a miserable victory, if he does not attack, the morale of the defenders of Fancheng who are inspired by them will inevitably plummet, and Fancheng is likely to be breached.

Judging from the current situation, Sima Yi chose to continue the offensive and live and die with the Shu army at any cost. He can fight hard, but Wei Ba doesn't want to fight with him. What's more, he couldn't wait any longer until tomorrow, and the longer it dragged on, the more likely it was that the Wei army's iron cavalry would arrive.

Therefore, Wei Ba proposed a new plan to temporarily stop attacking Fancheng and use Meng Da's men and horses to counterattack. Wei Feng and they are nearby, and they will definitely attack at the right time, so it should be possible to defeat Sima Yi. If Lu Xun is asked to send sailors to support and contain part of Sima Yi's troops, then the chances of victory will be even greater.

Wei Ba said it confidently. But he himself did not know whether Ma Jian would accept his orders. He regretted it a little now, it was a wrong choice to arrange Ma Jian to be a staff officer in Wei Feng, and it was possible that this strange soldier would lose control. If Ma Tan is really selfish, then he will completely lose this gamble.

Meng Da and Deng Xian didn't know what Wei Ba was thinking, but seeing that Wei Ba was sure, they didn't suspect too much, and asked some more questions, so they agreed. After agreeing on a time to do it, the two left in a hurry.

In order to move Lu Xun, Wei Ba personally rushed to Hanshui. Prepare to go to Lu Xun's camp. But he hadn't left the camp yet. Feng Jin sent someone to report that the Wu army sailor had left the camp, and it was not known what the intention was, but considering the grievances between Han and Wu. Feng Jin demanded that part of the siege force be withdrawn for vigilance.

Wei Ba immediately rushed to Feng Jin's boat. Through the lookout hole. He saw the lights of Wu Jun's water village in the distance. He pondered for a long time, and said to Feng Jin: "I don't think they should be unfavorable to us, there are those two underwater obstacles. Their large ships could not be crossed, and small boats with shallow draft alone were not enough to pose a threat to our troops. It's okay to send someone to guard you, but don't take the initiative to stir up trouble. ”

Feng Jin nodded, he also knew that this was not the time to stir up trouble.

When Wei Ba rushed back to the camp, the messenger sent by Lu Xun had already returned. Wu Yi was very satisfied with Lu Xun's initiative to send someone to contain Wei Jun, and Wei Ba was also very satisfied, although they didn't believe that Lu Xun would really be so kind, but at this moment, Lu Xun's move, even if it was for show, could make Sima Yi nervous for a while.

Everything was arranged, and Wei Ba and Wu Yi began to prepare for the counterattack.

……

Sima Shi walked quickly onto Sima Yi's command platform and said a few words in Sima Yi's ear. Sima Yi's eyebrows raised, and his eyes suddenly became fierce and abnormal: "Really? ”

"Seriously." Sima Shi's forehead was covered with sweat, and his breath was a little short. He led the guard battalion to Fancheng first, and immediately entered the battle, successfully disrupting the rhythm of the Shu army, and also paid a heavy price. Less than 1,000 of the 3,000 guards were removed, almost all of them were wounded, and the guards around him were killed and wounded. After Sima Yi arrived with the main force, he withdrew him and arranged to monitor the movements of the Wu army by the Han River, so he discovered the movements of the Wu army as soon as possible.

"Zhongda, what's wrong?" Simbi asked.

Sima Shi glanced at Xin Bi in surprise, and then looked at Sima Yi with inquiring eyes. Now in the army, Xin Bi is not called a general, but Sima Yi, which is not quite a common sense. Although Xin Bi and Sima Yi have a good relationship, they are not so good.

Sima Yi blinked his eyes and laughed softly: "Lu Xun on the other side can't sit still, he wants to come and get a piece of the pie." ”

"Lu Xun?" Xin Bi raised his eyebrows: "This is very bad for our army." ”

Sima Yi sighed lightly: "Yes, without the water division, our army can only defend passively." But George doesn't have to worry too much. Wu Shu is not so close, and it is impossible for them to really join forces. ”

"Having said that, we can't afford not to be on guard, what if Lu Xun takes advantage of the exhaustion of our army and goes ashore to attack?"

"I've got my own measure." Sima Yi pondered for a long time, then turned to Sima Shi and said, "Get out of the way of the shore two hundred paces, lay obstacles, and respond to the enemy with bows and crossbows." ”

Sima Shi exclaimed in surprise: "Father, get out of the way of the distance of two hundred steps, then wouldn't the Wu people be able to go ashore calmly?" ”

Simbi frowned as well, but he smiled again. Sima Yi squinted at Sima Shi, and the corners of his mouth were crooked: "Don't you understand?" Let's go back and think slowly, but my orders must be carried out. ”

Sima Shi rolled his eyes and laughed: "Well, I know, father, this is a plan to replace reality with fiction." ”

Sima Yi waved his hand and drove Sima Shi away. He shook his head and smiled: "This shaft is still not smart enough, and the reaction is too slow." ”

Xin Bi also laughed: "Zhongda, if you have a son like this, what more can you ask for." You can't compare him to you, he's definitely one of the best among his peers. ”

Sima Yi let out a loud daxiao. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )

Today, Lao Zhuang banned the words of a strange book friend. Speaking of which, this is also an old book friend who has been with me for many years, but it's a pity...... He has always insisted on piracy.

That's it, Lao Zhuang endured it. But the pirated brother who couldn't stand it muttered black powder in the book review area every day, which really made Lao Zhuang unhappy. Lao Zhuang doesn't like that kind of bizarre golden finger, this has always been the principle, you like black powder, you can read books with black powder, even if it's an atomic bomb, what are you talking about here every day? Is there such nonsense as you?
