Chapter 166: Siege on Three Sides

Along the Yangtze River, a huge fleet of hundreds of ironclad warships was quietly located there, and the fierce momentum was pressing Tongguan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Countless boulders and giant arrows, under the projection of catapults and bed crossbows, intensively attacked the northern city of Tongguan, and the soldiers defending the city on it could not raise their heads.

However, no matter how fierce the offensive was, those defenders still had to risk their lives to repair the damaged city walls so that they could hold out longer.

The only good news is that these ironclad ships on the river did not dock, they meant that people landed, but they kept destroying the northern wall with boulders and crossbow arrows.

There was endless attack from the north, and it wasn't long before the sirens of war drums were heard from the east.

This time Dong Zhuo didn't speak again, and it didn't take long for a soldier to come in embarrassment, and when he saw Dong Zhuo, he immediately shouted loudly: "A million enemy troops are approaching the east gate, and the east gate is in an emergency, and the general asks Xiangguo to send troops to support." ”

Dong Zhuotie blushed, gritted his teeth and said: "Xuanyuan Xiao'er, you actually deceived me like this, and regarded me Dong Zhuo as a lamb!" ”

"Xiangguo will calm his anger for the time being, and listen to his subordinates." Li Ru hurriedly stepped forward to convince him.

"Say."

"Yes." Li Ru arched his hand before he said, "Now Tongguan is surrounded on three sides, and the other side is a dangerous peak and dense forest, so it can be said that now our Xiliang Army is embattled and has nowhere to go." ”

"However, the subordinates found that whether it was the battle of Xicheng last night, or the difficulty of the north city today, or the danger of the east city, they were all indecisive, not really to fight to the death with our Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but more like him Xuanyuan Che used this to deter our army, and combined with the previous Xuanyuan Che's failure to seek treasure, he must have threatened Xiangguo with this situation and handed over the treasure to achieve his goal of seeking treasure."

"He wants to be beautiful, just a million troops, I am still afraid of him outside, and now that he has entered Tongguan, he has the benefit of the city wall, and then I have a million Xiliang army, are you still afraid that he will not succeed."

Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, then looked at Lu Bu, and said, "Fengxian, you immediately led 500,000 troops, went out of the West Gate, and destroyed that army for me." I want to see how his most elite army of Xuanyuan Che resists my iron cavalry, and let these 100,000 elites perish, to teach him who he cannot easily offend. ”

Although Dong Zhuo is arrogant and domineering, he is not a fool, he knows very well the combat power of the 100,000 army in the west, he was able to defeat the Yellow Turban Warriors who are also special troops before they grew up, let alone now. Coupled with the several temptations along the way this time, he also had to admit that his Xiliang Iron Cavalry was not the opponent of this army.

This is also the reason why he will order Lu Bu to take 500,000 troops out of the city to encircle and suppress this army, and he believes that with the combat power of 500,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, he will definitely be able to destroy this powerful army and resolve this crisis.

"Yes, the child will set off now, and he will make Xuanyuan Che regret being the enemy of his father-in-law." Lu Bu immediately took the order and left.

The crimson BMW gradually moved away, and Jia Xu on the side also spoke, saying: "Xiangguo, for some reason, my subordinates always feel that there is something strange in this. ”

As soon as Jia Xu said this, the sneer on Dong Zhuo's face immediately retracted, and Li Ru also frowned, thoughtfully, looking at Lu Bu's disappeared figure, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart.

"What does Wen He mean by this, let's talk about it quickly." Dong Zhuo saw that Li Ru's face had also changed, and he suddenly knew that there had been a change.

Jia Xu thought about Dong Zhuo's salute, and then said: "The Xuanyuan army is divided into three routes, besieging Tongguan, coupled with the dense forest and dangerous mountains south of Tongguan, it can be said that the Xuanyuan army has besieged my Xiliang army, and there is no way to escape.

On the surface, this plan is indeed clever, attacking Tongguan with a large number of war equipment, reducing our army's strength and military reserves, and greatly damaging the morale of our army, but also retaining the strength of the Xuanyuan army to the greatest extent and improving morale. When the city of Tongguan is broken and there is no strong city to protect it, and then this strong army with high momentum will fight against our tired army with a large number of casualties and low morale, and it will definitely be won in a battle. ”

"However, there are two great flaws in this clever strategy."

"First, the number of his Xuanyuan Che's army is not more than that of my army, and once the troops are divided, the military strength will definitely be divided and the combat power will decrease. Second, we have the strong wall of Tongguan, once we defend the strong wall, risk being attacked by war equipment, pour all the strength of the army, take advantage of the distance between the east and the west, the Xuanyuan army can not rescue, and destroy the army on either side of the east and west, the Xuanyuan army will have no tiger teeth, and can only be swallowed by our army. It's just that with such a flaw, how could Xuanyuan not understand? Could it be that he is really very confident in his siege equipment, thinking that these war equipment can make up for the decline in combat power caused by the division of troops and successfully block the surprise attack of our army? ”

Hearing Jia Xu's analysis, Dong Zhuo was also stunned, but he didn't understand the meaning, and was about to speak, when Li Ru suddenly shouted: "Tune the tiger away from the mountain!" ”

"Turn the tiger away from the mountain? Well, yes, that's probably a big deal. Jia Xu was stunned.

"What's the way to get off the mountain? Wenyou, tell me about it. Dong Zhuo heard it in a fog, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with Xuanyuan Che's plan.

"Xuanyuan Che has planned like this, putting the flaws in front of us, and our army will naturally act against the flaws. However, whether it is to exterminate the 100,000 strong army in the west or the million ordinary troops in the east, a large number of elite cavalry must be dispatched, and as the first general under Xiangguo, Wen Hou is naturally the first choice to lead the troops.

Once Wen Hou leads the army into battle, without Wen Hou's combat power, the guard force around the lord will definitely be greatly weakened, and if the beheading operation is carried out at this time, it will be dangerous. Xiangguo, his subordinates thought that it would be better to recall Wen Hou as soon as possible. Jia Xu on the side also nodded in agreement.

"Wen You, you are too worried, how can he Xuanyuan Che know that apart from Feng Xian, there is no other guardian force around me. Besides, even if he led people into the city, how many people could he carry, in front of my army, he was just a chicken, a tile, a dog. If he really wants to use this trick against me, it will only give him a taste of stealing chickens and rice. ”

Although he trusted Li Ru very much, although Jia Xu meant the same thing, Dong Zhuo felt that their guess was a little unreliable.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo is also very confident in his guards, out of the guards on the surface, as well as his secret guards, the secret guards are not comparable to those soldiers, even if they are special troops, they cannot be compared, because the strength of these secret guards is above 91 points, which is stronger than most of the generals in the army.

In addition, the formation of the secret guard was originally to protect his safety and spy on intelligence, so he naturally had the ability to be proficient in these two aspects, plus a lot of numbers, he didn't think that the raid could pose a threat to his safety.
