Chapter 588 Cao Cao who fell into the quagmire

Xiahou Yuan soon found that his logistics line suddenly stabilized, and those Inhuman troops who were like flies yesterday suddenly disappeared today, as if they had never appeared.

Afraid of the deception, Xiahou Yuan still cautiously sent a large number of reconnaissance cavalry and cavalry troops, closely monitored for a day, and quickly reported the situation to Cao Cao and the Inhuman forces in his own camp, so that they could pay attention to the changes around them and not be attacked by the suddenly assembled Inhuman forces.

But Xiahou Yuan's worries were obviously superfluous, for three days in a row, the strength of the Yellow Turban camp's inhuman troops did not rebound, but it was maintained at a very low level, Xiahou Yuan's logistics line was completely stabilized, if there was no stable logistics line, Xiahou Yuan could not imagine how he could capture Dongguan City.

After determining that the Yellow Turban thieves would not come to attack their logistics line again, Xiahou Yuan finally began to study how to capture Dongguan City, Dongguan City is also a third-level town, facing a mountain, there is no large river, so the moat or something is just an ornament, and the Yellow Turban Army did not get it, but on the west side of the mountain, a huge cave was dug, and a large number of war materials were stored in it, and there were even rumors that these caves could also allow cavalry to enter and attack from the other side of the mountain.

This is undoubtedly a strong city, but the strong city is not impossible to attack, the strong city also needs to be defended by the future, if there is no experienced or strong general, the third-level town is not difficult to capture, especially when the attacker is a seventh-order strong general.

But when Xiahou Yuan officially began to attack the city, he found that in addition to using strong generals to defend the city. There is also another mode of defending the city, that is, using a large number of Inhumans, and the Yellow Turban Army even directly grouped these Inhumans in the troops, when there is an Inhuman in the defenders of a team, the offensive and defensive attributes of this squad are completely different, because this Inhumans will use paper symbols!

Xiahou Yuan painfully found that he had to face more than just a tall and sturdy city wall. There's also a ton of paper charms, which are really a fucked thing, especially when it's used in a stalemate and at any cost.

Extensive use of paper symbols. It will allow the defender's soldiers to gain additional offensive and defensive bonuses, although this bonus cannot completely smooth out the huge gap in soldier attributes brought by Xiahou Yuan's rank, but it narrows this gap as much as possible.

When Gao Shun attacked Chengyang County. I have also encountered the same situation, but the ability to attack the camp comes from the general's bonus, and the other comes from training and equipment, so when Gao Shun encountered this situation, he used the tactic of concentrating on a breakthrough, but in Xiahou Yuan's hands, he lacked this kind of decisive attacking force.

On the contrary, in the Yellow Turban Army defending the city, there is a battalion of 2,000 heavy infantry Yellow Turban wrestlers!

This Yellow Turban Lux Battalion leads. But Sun Guan, who is known as the fox of Mount Tai, is the eldest brother of Fang Zhiwen, a naval bow and crossbow instructor and shooting commander Sun Ming.

This Yellow Turban wrestler, commanded by Sun Guan, would appear in the key direction of Xiahou Yuan's attack at any time, blocking Xiahou Yuan's attempt to break through at a fixed point in time, and making the entire siege battle fall into a stalemate. If according to the battle loss ratio of the two sides, although Xiahou Yuan's side has an absolute advantage, if you can calculate it according to the number of participants on both sides, it seems that it will be Xiahou Yuan who will lose in the end.

What's more, Dongguan City was not besieged, and it was still able to get support from outside. No matter how you look at it, it is obviously impossible for Xiahou Yuan to go down to Dongguan in a fight, and if it continues for a long time, the outcome is unpredictable.

In this way, Cao Cao's two fists seem to have been driven into the mud, and it is not easy to pull them out, even if they are pulled out, they will carry a hand of mud...... Cao Cao frowned in the big tent, the war in Dongguan was unexpectedly bad, Cao Cao's original idea was to surround the point to send reinforcements, but the strange thing is that the point is to surround up, but the reinforcements are not out of the city at all, so it is not possible to send reinforcements, but it is such an embarrassing situation to storm Dongguan.

Cao Cao also couldn't imagine that the Yellow Turban Army actually boldly sent the Yellow Turban Warriors to Dongguan City, instead of staying in Linqu, where the situation was more dangerous, as for Linqu, although Cao Cao had now taken an acropolis, but the losses were quite large, and it was obviously worth the loss if it continued like this.

"I can't imagine that there are such talents among the Yellow Turban thieves, who can actually see through my strategy and insist on defending the city steadily."

Xiahou moved his somewhat numb body, and interjected: "Big brother, it's better to let Miaocai feign retreat to lure the other party to attack1."

Cao Cao shook his head slowly: "At the beginning, the Yellow Turban Thieves carried out a large-scale raid war, and it was a pity that Miaocai didn't grasp this opportunity, and now that the Yellow Turban Thieves understand the disadvantages of field warfare, do you think they will rashly pursue them?" Moreover, if they had no problem with their heads, they should have understood that if they did not lose their city, they would have won a great victory, so why should they go out of the city to pursue and seek to kill and wound a few more enemies1

"But...... Yuan Rang must also understand that if we continue to hold on like this, in addition to consuming a lot of our money and food, it will also cost us soldiers and soldiers, which will not benefit us at all, and we will have to pay additional merits and rewards, which is really worth the loss1

Cao Cao stroked his beard in distress, feeling that his brain was a little painful, the current situation could not continue, and it had to be broken, either to quickly capture Linqu or Dongguan, or simply give up and find another target.

It's just that Cao Cao's current position is very awkward, if he wants to attack the Inhumans instead of directly attacking the Yellow Turban Army, he must pass through Kong Rong's territory, or he can only take Mount Tai who is blocking the way first, which is also one of the reasons why Cao Cao tried his best to pull Kong Rong into his chariot at that time.

Now it seems that not taking down Kong Rong is definitely a failure!

Although Cao Cao successfully forced Fang Zhiwen to give up the battle in Chengyang County, in the end, it was only a limited blow to Fang Zhiwen's prestige and slightly saved some of his reputation. From the perspective of actual interests, Fang Zhiwen's own offensive in Chengyang County has already fallen into an embarrassing situation, and perhaps, his own trick will help him break the siege.

When Fang Zhiwen's troops withdrew from Chengyang County, the aliens of the Yellow Turban camp immediately tore up the tacit understanding with Cao Cao and began to gather troops in Dongguan City to resist Xiahou Yuan's offensive, with the result that Cao Cao and Fang Zhiwen fought. In the end, it was a different benefit, and Cao Cao was very dissatisfied with this result.

"Big brother, otherwise. We'll just withdraw our troops1

"Withdrawal?" Cao Cao muttered thoughtfully.

"Yes, if you can't achieve your goal, why keep consuming. It's better to withdraw first, and then find a way to organize an offensive again. ”

Xiahoudun's advice is simple, and sometimes, the simple things are the closest to the truth.

"Wait, I think of a thing, Fang Zhiwen has captured Dongwu, Qianao, Zhuxian and Juxian, but he doesn't seem to sell the official positions in these places and appoint them, why is this?"

"Big brother, it's not easy. It's hard to control, and if the appointment goes out, you can't get it back, so ...... No, it's not! He did it on purpose. His original intention was to let these cities return to the hands of the Inhumans in the Yellow Turban camp, so calculated! It's really calculating, although I don't want to admit it, but I'm really not as good as ah1

Cao Cao patted his head hard, and his brain didn't hurt anymore! The whole person is also refreshed, clear in the mind. Thoroughly thought through Fang Zhiwen's various plans, and at the same time, Fang Zhiwen's idea also provided a practical way for Cao Cao to break the impasse in front of him!

"Big brother?"

"Haha withdraw the army, Yuan Rang is right, we should withdraw the army now! It's really not interesting to spend here, the fist can only be withdrawn before it can be played again, how can I forget such a simple truth! It shouldn't be! It really shouldn't be! Ha ha...... Cao Cao withdrew!? ”

This sentence came out of the mouths of many people with a sense of surprise.

In any case, Fang Zhiwen's battle of beheading Chengyang was already a bit surprising, and Cao Cao's sudden slashing of Linqu and Dongguan was even more surprising.

Even Zang Ba and Guan Hai were a little suspicious, stunned that Cao Cao's army had withdrawn for a few days, but they still maintained a high degree of vigilance, and they didn't dare to take it lightly.

As for the players, some of them are greatly relieved, and some are very disappointed, the crisis in Qingzhou seems to have cleared the day, and the players in Qingzhou can enjoy a relatively peaceful day with peace of mind, which can be used to improve their strength as soon as possible.

And the wandering generals and rangers are a little disappointed, this is definitely thunder and rain! I thought I could continue to make profits in the war, but who knew that the war would end abruptly!

Fang Zhiwen got the news of Cao Cao's comprehensive withdrawal from the second day of Hua Xin's surrender, and it is not difficult to see from Tian Feng's letter that Tian Feng believes that Cao Cao is continuing to copy Fang Zhiwen's strategy, and the withdrawal is precisely to release the return of the Yellow Turban camp, and there will naturally be a thunderous blow after the return, so Tian Feng is also distressed.

Because, if Cao Cao is preparing to carry out a blitzkrieg, it will be difficult for Tian Feng, who is far away in Pingshou, to intervene in time, which makes Tian Feng a little anxious, Fang Zhiwen can't help but feel a little funny, Tian Feng is with Cao Cao.

You must know that Cao Cao's rise is the same as the rise of Yiren, it is unstoppable, such an important person, Zhi Brain will not let him die young, therefore, Tian Feng's task is not to completely suppress Cao Cao, but to suppress it appropriately, there is no need to be so anxious at all, I can't suppress it, just let Cao Cao grow up, and if he has a chance, he will strike at it, that's it! More importantly, cultivate the power of Kong Rong, so that Kong Rong can steadily suppress Qingzhou.

Liu Bei has gained a firm foothold in Jingzhou, Cao Cao is also catching up, Sun Jian is still lurking, Dong Zhuo is running the Great Northwest, and Huangfu Song is being sent to the forefront by Dong Zhuo to go to the forefront with Han Sui Bian Zhang, and Yuan Shao is actively preparing to set off the storm in Jizhou.

The whole Han dark tide is surging! rq! ~!
