"Those armies in which city?" Huang Zhong still didn't believe it, he had deduced that the Thorn History Mansion was empty, but he thought that Chen Wen was worried that the Lord Sun would raid the city stone tablet, so he removed all the idle people in the Thorn History Mansion! And now I heard Jia Xu say that Chen Wen had led the elite army to leave Shouchun City, compared to his own inference, this news is too unbelievable, this is a capital-level city! How can you say give up and give up?
Jia Xu said: "Those troops in the city are naturally just cannon fodder troops of the Yangzhou forces, Chen Wen withdrew from Shouchun City, naturally it is impossible to bring these troops with him, and their daily consumption is an astronomical amount." Rather than bringing them to form a drag on themselves, it is better to stay in Shouchun City and play their last value. In my opinion, there must be an army loyal to Chen Wen in this Shouchun City, and they will supervise these cannon fodder troops to defend the city, so as to consume our living forces as much as possible. ”
When Huang Zhong heard this, his anger suddenly came up and said, "This Chen Wen is too bastard!" It's just to send these low-level soldiers to death! He left these people to defend the city, and he didn't even leave a ballista or catapult, which was simply murder! In fact, Huang Zhong's anger came a little inexplicably, the two sides are now completely hostile to each other, and it stands to reason that the weaker the army defending the city, the more beneficial it will be for them, the besieging army. But Huang Zhong is also a person who cherishes his soldiers, so he can't look down on those who treat the lives of ordinary soldiers as grass mustard, and now, Chen Wen has obviously committed his taboo.
Jia Xu sighed and said, "I'm afraid that Chen Wen not only didn't leave any war equipment such as ballistas, but he didn't even have much food and other materials left. In Chen Wen's opinion. It is simply impossible for these low-level soldiers to hold out for too long under the attack of my Baiyun City City, and the excessive supplies left behind are completely for the enemy, so they must have taken everything they can take away. ”
Huang Zhong looked at Jia Xu and asked, "Brother Wenhe, what should we do now?" Will it be a forced siege, or will it be something else? ”
Jia Xu said: "Now we want to storm Shouchun City, it is indeed not very difficult, but the damage is inevitable, and it is in chaos. The people and defenders of the city were bound to suffer a great deal of casualties. In fact. According to the current situation, we don't need to fight hard with the other side at all, as long as we spread the news of the withdrawal of the main army led by Chen Wen, and find out the prison army left in Shouchun City to annihilate it. This Shouchun City is at your fingertips! ”
Huang Zhong thought for a moment. Daxi said: "Brother Wenhe." This method is wonderful! …… But. How can we find out who is in the city? ”
Jia Xu said: "I'm afraid I have to ask the young deputy commander of the Privy Council for help, with him to help, it shouldn't be difficult to find out the information in Shouchun City." And. Even if we can't know the traces of those prison guards, it's not inconceivable. In addition to the method just mentioned, we can also adopt the method of besieging but not attacking, according to our speculation just now, there can't be too much food in the city, as long as we trap him for a few days, not to mention those low-level soldiers in the city, even those prison troops have to abandon the city and surrender This way can be taken. We can also take Shouchun City without spending a single soldier, the only difference is that the soldiers in the city will inevitably break out some conflicts in this process, and bloodshed and casualties are inevitable. ”
Huang Zhong nodded and said, "If you can't find those prison guards, I'm afraid there is only this way." ”
Subsequently, Jia Xu wrote a letter and brought it back to the lord with a carrier pigeon. In Baiyun City, Wang Kai's status was comparable to his, and it was naturally inconvenient for him to instruct the other party to do anything, so he directly reported this matter to Yang Tian and asked the lord to arrange it personally. Of course, Jia Xu also reminded Yang Tian in the letter, asking him to be sure to let Wang Kai pay attention to the whereabouts of Chen Wen's army, after all, this is the main army of five or six million, and it is a powerful force anywhere. What's more, the current Chen Wen is afraid that he hates Baiyun City to the core, so Chen Wen must not be willing to fail, if Chen Wen comes out of a certain Gadali to launch a surprise attack on Baiyun City, then Baiyun City will be passive.
……
After Yang Tian received Jia Xu's letterhead, he was shocked and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. It's not that he doesn't believe Jia Xu's judgment, on the contrary, it is precisely because Yang Tian believes it that he is shocked.
This Shouchun City is a heavy city! Chen Wen can give up when he says he will give up, which is definitely a great determination. Moreover, when Chen Wen chooses to give up Shouchun City, he must have a better way out than to stick to Shouchun City, and the success of this road will be greatly assured.
But in the current situation, what does Chen Wen need to do to have such confidence? Is there a more suitable place in Yangzhou than Shouchun City for defensive warfare? Now the remaining territory of the entire Yangzhou is not as large as the previous Huiji County, even if Chen Wen withdraws from Shouchun City, where can he hide? Could he still be able to hide deep in the mountains with millions of troops?
A series of questions made Yang Tian a little apprehensive in his heart, if these questions could not be answered, Yang Tian's heart would not be able to let go.
However, Chen Wen's way of withdrawing from Shouchun City was to use a teleportation array, and it was difficult for Yang Tian to find the destination of Chen Wen's army from Shouchun City. At the beginning, Chen Wen used means to shroud Shouchun City in a thick fog, probably just to prevent the Baiyun City side from discovering his movements, and pull Shouchun City into a state of war early, so that his withdrawal plan would be completely in vain.
But now it's too late to know this, Chen Wen has already withdrawn from Shouchun City, and there is only a large group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals left in the entire Shouchun City, plus the people who are powerless in the city. According to the previous situation in various towns, Yang Tian believed that all the high-level life occupations in this Shouchun City had also been taken away.
Yang Tian didn't have any opinions on Jia Xu's construction, and immediately sent the task to Wang Kai, as for how to complete it, it was Wang Kai's business, and Yang Tian didn't need to worry about it. However, if Wang Kai finds Chen Wen's prison army left in Shouchun City, then Yang Tian needs to dispatch it himself, because only he has the ability to lead a large army into Shouchun City and eliminate these prison troops at a fixed point without the city being breached.
In addition to asking Wang Kai to find the prison army of Shouchun City, Yang Tian also assigned Wang Kai a task, that is, to find the destination of Chen Wen's army to evacuate. It's a difficult task, but it's easy to say it's not difficult.
……
It turned out that Wang Kai's dark soul organization was indeed very efficient, Yang Tian's order was issued in the afternoon, and the next morning Wang Kai sent back the news, saying that he had found the specific location of Chen Wen's army.
In fact, this matter is really easy, because Chen Wen did not block the news of his evacuation location at all, Wang Kai just made a simple inquiry and found out all the situation.
Chen Wen's army did not withdraw from Yangzhou, but all of them were transmitted to Lujiang County, and now millions of troops are distributed in the counties on the border between Lujiang County and Jiujiang County, putting on a posture of being ready for battle. After Yang Tian learned the news, he couldn't figure it out, could it be that Chen Wen felt that he could defend Lujiang County? Not to mention Yang Tian, even anyone else felt that this was impossible after hearing about it. In the past, the whole of Yangzhou could not compete with Baiyun City, and now there is only one Lujiang County, how can it be compared with Baiyun City, which occupies the south bank area of Yangzhou and Jiujiang County on the north bank?
Yang Tian's doubts did not last long, and at noon that day, he got another news, that is, Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, waved millions of troops, and Chen Bing Jingzhou and Yangzhou were at the junction. According to the news from the Dark Soul Organization, these troops are all elite forces under Liu Biao's command, including Huang Zu's fleet, which also sailed from Jiangxia County to Lujiang County.
At this time, if Yang Tian still didn't know what Chen Wen was planning, then Yang Tian would just buy a piece of tofu and kill him.
Chen Wen's millions of troops were indeed not enough to compete with Baiyun City, but if he added a huge Jingzhou, and it was Jingzhou that had already integrated the forces of the whole state, Yang Tian couldn't help but be a little jealous. The reason why Chen Wen gave up and made it more difficult to attack Shouchun City was definitely related to Liu Biao, and even before Chen Wen let the main army withdraw from various towns in Yangzhou, it is estimated that it was inseparable from the Jingzhou side.
The border between Yangzhou and Yizhou was long, but Liu chose the southernmost section of the route, from which the Jingzhou army could directly enter Yuzhang County. As it stands, the defenses of the cities in Yuzhang County are only a few city guards, and there are also some player forces. After all, these are only the military forces of Yizhou before, and now they suddenly have to defend three times the territory of the original territory, which is a bit stretched, if they encounter the Jingzhou army to attack with all their might, it will be difficult for Baiyun City to block the opening to the west of Yangzhou.
In fact, Yang Tian could also guess that Liu Biao's Chen soldiers were at the border, most likely just to deter Baiyun City, so as to prevent Baiyun City's side from exterminating Chen Wen's forces. But Yang Tian couldn't ignore it, because no one could say whether this Liu Biao would suddenly mobilize a big attack into Yangzhou. When the time comes, if you have to make adjustments, I'm afraid you will have lost a lot of territory. Therefore, it is now necessary to transfer at least three main army corps into Yuzhang County to ensure that the Jingzhou army will not be able to break through the Yangzhou defense line in a short time.
After the transfer of the three main army corps, only five main army corps were left on the side of Baiyun City to attack Lujiang County, and as for the Sunset Legion, which only had about 20,000 people, it played a very little role in such a big war. However, even if there are only these five main legions, Yang Tian is still confident that he will take Lujiang County. (To be continued)
