Chapter 197: A Breakthrough Strategy
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Whether anyone believes this result or not, it has indeed happened, and Cheng Yu has indeed been robbed. From Huang Zhong's shout at the end, they knew that the person who robbed Cheng Yu was Zhao Yun, the commander of the second Baiyun City main army stationed in Changyi City.
For a long time, they were not very clear about Zhao Yun's strength, but this incident was a complete wake-up call for them, and in the future, they must not underestimate any military general in Baiyun City, especially this kind of commander-in-chief who serves as the commander of the first army, in Baiyun City, a place full of talents, without absolute strength, it is impossible to sit in this position.
Although he and Cheng Yu serve a lord together, and the two sides have a certain competitive relationship, whether it is Xiahou Tang or Cheng Yu, they all regard this competition as a kind of healthy competition, because they all hope that their lord Cao Cao can have better development prospects, because only in this way can they better display their ambitions. As a military general who followed Cao Cao a long time ago, Xiahoudun completely regarded himself as Cao Cao's confidant, and he would consider everything from Cao Cao's point of view, and now losing Cheng Yu is definitely a huge blow to Cao Cao, and his sadness can be imagined.
However, Xiahoudun is also a very rational person, he knows that it is useless to be sad at this time, according to the news from the soldiers who besieged Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun have returned to Changyi City, that is to say, now Cheng Yu has also been taken to Changyi County. The only thing he can do now is to surround Changyi County, even if Huang Zhong and the others have a way to transfer Cheng Yu from Changyi City at that time, they can't transfer the million-strong army of the two major armies of Lieyang and Qilin, right? When the time comes, it will depend on how the two sides negotiate, and Xiahoudun is still very confident in this.
Fu Zhu suddenly asked Xiahoudun: "General Xiahou, I don't know that you went to the front. Can Huang Zhong's destruction of the siege car be stopped? ”
Xiahoudun said with a look of shame again: "When General Ben and the others arrived at the place where the siege car was located, Huang Zhong was wreaking havoc on the siege car, and this Huang Zhong's strength was not trivial, and the destructive power of the siege car was extremely strong. In the process of rushing over, he had already destroyed seventy or eighty siege vehicles. Now there are only about 30 units left, and investing in the siege battle with such a number will not have an immediate effect, plus the defender has a master like Huang Zhong, he will inevitably continue to destroy the siege chariot. In this way, we now want to quickly open the gates of Changyi County by attacking the city and rushing vehicles. Estimates are already unlikely. ”
He sighed and said, "That's not good! ”
Xiahoudun asked a little puzzled: "Frustrated military master, why did you say this?" Even if we can't quickly take Changyi County, can't we still besiege the city? With our troops, although it is difficult to break the city directly, if the defenders of Changyi City want to go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with us. We're sure we're winning! ”
Fu Zhu said: "There are countless capable people under the Sunshine Tent, I'm afraid that even Sunshine himself will not be stupid enough to let the army go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with us." Moreover, this time in Changyi City is in command of Baiyun City Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao, this person is very resourceful, even we can only bow to the wind. ”
Xiahoudun frowned, but he still didn't agree with the frustration. said: "Even if they don't go out of the city to fight, we will besiege for a while at most, and when our army fully takes Shanyang County, we will have the home advantage, and we don't have to worry about logistics and supply problems." And the defenders of Changyi City have correspondingly lost their home advantage, and the nearly 10 million troops in the city consume an astronomical amount of food every day, how can they support it for a long time? ”
He looked at Xiahou and said, "General Xiahou's strategy may be effective for others, but not necessarily for Baiyun City. General Xiahou can be regarded as having followed Cao Zhoumu through countless battles, large and small, including many opportunities to fight side by side with Baiyun City. Didn't General Xiahou discover the strangeness of Sunshine participating in the war? It is inferred that the sunshine has the ability to teleport the army, just imagine, since even the army can teleport, if the teleported soldier wears a storage ring. What will be the result? So there won't be any problems with this logistical supply. ”
Xiahoudun was speechless for a moment, it was not that he didn't know the ability of the sun, but he didn't connect the sunlight with the logistics supply for a while, and now when he heard the frustration say this, he also understood the severity of the matter. After a long pause, he said, "Fu Junshi, according to your meaning, we can only wear down the defenders of Changyi City forever?" ”
Fu Zhu shook his head and said, "This is not necessarily, if our catapults destroy the city wall faster than its repair speed, we will eventually be able to take Changyi City." However, we also need to bring in a large number of craftsmen from the rear to maintain these siege equipment, otherwise the city wall will not be breached, and these siege equipment will be damaged due to excessive use. ”
Xiahoudun said: "It seems that this is the only way!" ”
Now that Cheng Yu has been arrested, only Xiahoudun alone has the idea of the entire Cao army. After the two sides agreed, they immediately wrote a letter to each of them, explaining the situation and proposing their own solutions. At the same time, the army continued to march towards the county seat of Changyi. Xiahoudun is really worried that the defenders of Changyi City will abandon the city and flee, if such a situation really occurs, where will he go to find Cheng Yu? At that time, even if Changyi County is taken, it will not be able to make up for the loss caused by the loss of Cheng Yu.
Of course, Fu Zhu and Xiahou Tang did not forget to issue gag orders to the soldiers who knew that Cheng Yu had been arrested, so as not to spread the news. After all, Cheng Yu's identity is there, if the other party robs him before the war starts, the blow to morale will be very huge, and they don't dare to take this risk.
……
Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun had already returned to Changyi County, and I have to say that Xiahoudun really underestimated them, and Huang Zhong and the others had no idea of abandoning the city and fleeing. To tell the truth, if he really wanted to abandon the city, Yang Tian would not have sent the two major armies of Lieyang and Qilin to Changyi City in the first place, and since he came, he would definitely defend it to the end. Unless they are really at an absolute disadvantage, there is no possibility of holding it at all.
For the person Zhao Yun brought back from captivity, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun are still full of expectations. According to Zhao Yun's description, this person's identity should also be one of the best among Cao Yuan's coalition forces. Being able to catch such an important person this time will definitely make the lord very excited, and the benefits will naturally be indispensable at that time. As a person of the level of Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, ordinary rewards are naturally not looked down upon, but they are greedy for a lot of good things in the hands of the lord, and if they can make more contributions, they will naturally be unwanted.
