Chapter 412: Zhang Liao's Scheme

Twenty days later, he really wanted to see how powerful the army of one million people he had gathered was at the lowest level of five-star fighters, which made Ding Yuan extremely excited.

Two flowers bloomed, each with a branch, and said that when Ding Yuan was overjoyed, when Huang Zhong's army captured the Red Capital City, the rest of the three-way army, Zhang Liao, Zhang Ren, and Yan Yan's three-way army, also went to the three cities respectively, respectively, Zhang Liao attacked Heishui City, and Zhang Ren attacked Huanglin City. Yan Yan attacked Tiebi City, but their three-way army did not have such good luck as Huang Zhong.

These three cities are not inferior to the middle city of the red capital, and the population is also above four million, more importantly, these three cities are complete garrisons, 300,000 troops are not to mention the slightest loss, and they are also a first-class elite army, at least at the level of three-star fighters, so it is extremely difficult to break, at this time, after four days of tentative attack, Zhang Liao faced this unbreakable blackwater city with iron walls, and there was no way for the time being.

At this time, among Zhang Liao's army, all the generals gathered together, but they discussed.

"Chief General Qiqi, now this Blackwater City is adding reinforcements, although our army is desperate for losses, it has probably wiped out their 50,000 troops, but now that this reinforcement arrives, this Blackwater City has a full 850,000 army!"

At this time, the general Xiang Pet said with some concern, Xiang Pet is a veteran under Ding Yuan, although the strength is only a three-star fighter, it is not very powerful, but its command ability is no worse than the second-rate generals of the Three Kingdoms, reaching the point of 200,000 troops, but it is also quite successful.

Hearing what Xiang Pet said, Zhang Liao said: "The defender of this city is a mediocre person. Single-mindedly defending the city, but it is difficult for me to wait for the strategy to implement, now with these reinforcements coming, it is not easy for us to attack the city, but fortunately, the siege equipment has been built, so our army can also defend and attack once, test the weakness of this city! ”

At this time, although he couldn't capture this Blackwater City for a long time, Zhang Liao didn't pay too much attention to it, because it was only four days. There is no need to be too anxious, and in four days, attacking this Blackwater City, his army has only lost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, if it really does not count the attack of dead and wounded. Then it is not impossible to take this city, and it has not been captured for four days. It's just because Zhang Liao is constantly testing the city's defenses.

Now it seems. But there was a glimmer of eyebrows in his heart.

At this time, the general Ji Ling stood up and said: "Commander, if this is the case, why don't you let my army explore the way and verify, how is the defense of this city?" ”

But it was Ji Ling who got up and said.

Ji Ling is a first-class general, and there are 500,000 soldiers and horses. It is a first-class general under Zhang Liao, and this general is brave in battle, so after Ji Ling finished speaking, he was in the big tent. Many generals showed their approval,

However, Zhang Liao shook his head with a smile and said: "General Ji Ling, your brave generals know it, but you are a field general, but you are not good at attacking cities, but this operation cannot be handed over to you, and this time it is mainly a temptation, so our army does not need to send too many soldiers and horses, but your own troops and horses cannot be sent!" ”

Hearing that Zhang Liao denied himself, Ji Ling was sullen, but the army discipline was strict, since the main general denied it, although Ji Ling was unwilling in his heart, he had to obey the order, after all, Zhang Liao was the commander of the army this time, and Ji Ling also admired Zhang Liao's ability, so he had to give up at the moment.

At this time, Wei Yan, who was sitting in the back, heard this, but his heart moved, because although he had less than 30,000 soldiers and horses, but in this siege, he also went through some training, and the casualties were not large, but it made the soldiers and horses under his command more integrated.

And because it is a new soldier, it has been trained by the four generals system, so the soldiers and horses under his command have reached the level of five-star fighters at the very least, although they are not as good as the soldiers and horses under the command of the rest of the generals, they are veterans of a hundred battles, but if they are tentative soldiers and horses, it is also quite beneficial.

And Wei Yan is conceited of himself, but he can use the art of war of infantry and bow and arrow, although the bow and arrow are the art of war, it is only an intermediate bow and arrow art of war, and the power is not bad, and he also has experience in siege, after all, he is also somewhat sure of the control of trebuchets, so with a move in his heart, Wei Yan got up and stepped forward.

Opportunities are to be actively sought, and Wei Yan is the kind of person who takes the initiative to fight for opportunities, so he immediately stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said: "Commander Qiqi, a certain soldier and horse have been trained, but they are also full of fighting spirit, since the main general is to choose a good besieger and lead a small number of soldiers and horses to attack tentatively, it is better to hand over this group to a certain family, a certain family is not talented, but it is also conceited to complete this matter!" ”

"Oh!"

Zhang Liao glanced at Wei Yan, he also knew about Wei Yan, a general, although he was a general in the opposition who was newly attached to the lord Ding Yuan, and he did not have the support of the generals, but when he entered the mountains last time to destroy the remnants of the coalition army, he also made outstanding achievements, but he was good at killing some, but he was not able to make a first-class contribution, but his subsequent conquest also proved that this general was a decisive general, and he was indeed a general.

Therefore, Zhang Liao did not refuse, but said: "I don't know how sure General Wei Yan is that he can complete a certain goal!" ”

When Wei Yan heard this, he didn't panic, but said calmly: "The master of a certain view, Ji Luo, is to explore the defense loopholes of Blackwater City, after four days of observation, compared to the general, he has already made a bamboo in his chest, but because of the arrival of reinforcements now, it needs to be further confirmed, so the task of a certain family is to lead the troops to beat the soldiers and horses of this city, so that they can once again expose the defects of this city!" ”

"In that case, what are you capable of doing so?"

Zhang Liao continued to ask.

"Although a certain family of soldiers and horses is not as good as the soldiers of the old generals, it is far superior to this Blackwater City, and a certain family also has some experience in the art of war of the bow and arrow system, but it is enough to make the troops of Blackwater City suffer a big loss at a critical time, this is one of them!"

Second, a certain family also observed that although reinforcements arrived in this city, it seemed that there was a discord between the generals. This is the opportunity of my army, and this is the second one! ”

"Third, it is a certain family with the whole army, eager to make military achievements, but it is different from the generals, who have already made outstanding military achievements, and are not so urgent for military achievements, so our army has the advantage of people and people!"

"These three points alone are the certainty that a certain family has. Please also ask the general to allow a certain to lead troops into battle! ”

After Wei Yan unhurriedly said the three reasons why he could fight, he looked at Zhang Liao with some eagerness, it was really Wei Yan's desire to make meritorious service was too urgent.

"These three reasons are good, but if I lose my troops because of this, then wouldn't it be a waste of my original intention?"

Although Zhang Liao's heart moved slightly. However, he did not immediately nod in agreement, but said seriously.

"This is guaranteed by the head of a certain family. A certain family will definitely do what they can. Definitely not a joke with the soldier's life! ”

Wei Yan said solemnly.

After staring at Wei Yan tightly for a while, seeing that there was no dodge in the general's eyes, a look of determination, Zhang Liao smiled slightly, and then said, "Okay, since General Wei Yan has this wish." If you dare to fight hard, then the general will allow you, with your troops and horses, and war materials at your disposal. After an hour, the city can be attacked, and if it can't be prepared in an hour, a certain family has to send another person! ”

"Thank you, Lord!"

Wei Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately clenched his fists again and said.

…………

Let's say that Wei Yan got the order of General Zhang Liao, but he could lead the soldiers and horses of his headquarters and tentatively attack the city, even if Wei Yan went back to prepare, an hour was not a long time, but it was not a simple matter to mobilize more than 20,000 soldiers and horses and receive enough war materials, so even if Wei Yan was conceited that he could do it, he urgently dispatched troops.

Fortunately, this army of almost 25,000 has gone through many run-ins, plus the army of Chelong Kingdom is a professional army, the best at conquest, and the discipline is very strict, and Wei Yan is also the kind of top-level general, not far from the peerless generals, his leadership of seven or eight hundred thousand soldiers, but it is not a problem, so the commander of this mere more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, but the command is only orderly, but it is not in a hurry, that is, everything will be completed in three quarters of an hour.

At this time, more than 25,000 troops, ready to go, their eyes are full of firm fighting spirit, these soldiers know that this is a battle in which they have established meritorious service, if they successfully complete the strategic task of the army, then they must have made great contributions, therefore, these soldiers who are extremely eager for military merit, all of them are full of fighting spirit, and their eyes are like burning flames, giving people a sharp and boundless feeling.

"Soldiers, this time Ben will take you to attack this Blackwater City, this is a tragic battle, so what Ben will need is an army that sacrifices his life, so who wants to withdraw is still too late, once he follows Ben to fight, then he must go all the way, when there is no Ming Jin, there must be no retreat, can you do it!?"

Wei Yan shouted proudly at this time.

"We are waiting to fight to the death, the glory of the Chelong Kingdom is our glory, we will not retreat in a hundred battles, and we will swear to kill the enemy!"

The army roared in unison, as if piercing through the clouds, and there was a feeling that people's blood was boiling when they heard it.

"Okay, since there is no one to retreat, then the army can set off!"

Wei Yan looked at his army with great satisfaction, with incomparable joy on his face, and shouted loudly.

"I am invincible, swear to fight to the death!"

Immediately, the whole army moved, the infantry pikemen and so on pushed the trebuchet of the siege, and the archers were also under the protection of the shield soldiers, this siege was the first time that the Chelong Kingdom attacked the city with all its might, so they were shouldering a huge responsibility, so these Chelong army full of soldier glory was full of unshakable faith, they swore to kill the enemy and make war exploits!

At this time, in Zhang Liao's big tent, listening to the report of the herald, Zhang Liao's calm face showed a hint of a smile, and he said to General Xiang Lang on the side: "Brother Giant Disobedience, it seems that you have no chance this time!" ”

Xiang Lang is more talented in internal affairs, so even if he has outstanding military achievements and is a veteran who follows Ding Yuan, he only has more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, which is really his, and there is not much talent for leading troops, but more in terms of counselor military affairs and internal affairs.

Hearing Zhang Liao's words, Xiang Lang was unimpressed: "General Wei Yan is exactly that kind of killing general, and according to a certain family, the archers of this general are indeed sharper than a certain family. It should be an intermediate art of war, but it is better than a certain siege effect, and since he has proved his ability to lead troops this time, it is naturally the best! ”

Xiang Lang is indeed that kind of gentleman, but he didn't care at all, but said with a smile, in fact, after following Ding Yuan, these generals of the Three Kingdoms have changed, and they are loyal to Ding Yuan. Naturally, the consideration was the interests of Ding Yuan, the lord, and Xiang Lang believed that he could not compare to Wei Yan by leading the troops, so he naturally had no displeasure.

"This general is also very optimistic, but he is a tiger general. If it is used well, it is indeed a first-class talent. It's just that this will now be loyal to the Lord. It is also the lord's loyal general, but after all, it is still a little unruly, this battle is also a sharpening of this general, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, this general is still a loss, and my Chelong Kingdom is also a loss. As long as you can take this city, you can recover a real general for the lord! ”

Zhang Liao's eyes were like torches, and he could see Wei Yan's nature at a glance, but he was confident. At least as long as this will be Ding Yuan's loyal general, then sooner or later he can be trained to become an excellent tiger general and make great achievements for the lord Ding Yuan!

And this time, using Wei Yan is also a plan that Zhang Liao has long had in his heart, after all, only by relying on this person's bravery, then it is easier to take this Blackwater City, although in this way, the sergeant under Wei Yan will have the danger of annihilation of the whole army, but compared to the entire army, this loss is nothing.

And when the time comes, with Wei Yan's military exploits, it will naturally be supplemented, and it will also be able to make Wei Yan's tyrannical shortcomings disappear, which is really a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

It can be said that at the beginning, this Blackwater City, Zhang Liao had a plan, and waited for an extra day to attack Blackwater City, Zhang Liao actually wanted to attract more reinforcements, after all, the encirclement point was to send reinforcements, in this way, if you take Blackwater City, you can completely open a wide reach, and lay the foundation for the future siege of the city!

At this time, Wei Yan naturally didn't know that this time, it was also a huge test for his army, and the probability of the annihilation of the whole army was very large, but this was not Zhang Liao's calculation of Wei Yan, but his own character determined all this, and it was also a lesson for Zhang Liao to him, and it was also a kind of love!

Because if you don't use this Wei Yan all the time, it will be a great pity, after all, Wei Yan is the kind of top-level first-class general, and he is only one step away from the peerless general, and the initial force value is even higher than Zhang Liao, he is a man who can be made, a member of the tiger general!

However, if it is not well trained, then this general is also a time bomb, once something happens, it will even cause the strategic passivity of Che Longguo, after all, this general's temperament is a little too tyrannical, but it is the kind of natural killing god, even more tyrannical than Lu Bu's temperament, so Zhang Liao is painstaking and lonely, with one stone and two eagles, the most beneficial way for the army, to train Wei Yan, is to capture Blackwater City, complete his own strategic goals at the same time, for his own lord to get a tiger general, it can be said that Zhang Liao's plan is quite good.

And now Wei Yan is also extremely excited in his heart, and his good impression of Zhang Liao has increased greatly, this time it is indeed too powerful, the military supplies are completely open, so that his 25,000 troops, the equipment is much better all of a sudden, and the powerful siege weapon, the trebuchet is also prepared is the best, it can be three kilometers away, it is the siege, which undoubtedly provides a strong firepower foundation for the army!

And Wei Yannai is the kind of person who is naturally bold, and now his conceited strength is already quite strong, so now he has a plan in his heart, that is, not only to hit this Blackwater City hard, if there is a chance, then he even wants to take this Blackwater City, make immortal achievements, and one day he can be like Zhang Liao, Zhang Ren and other generals, independently lead the troops and horses all the way, and conquer the city for the lord.

Although he is a die-hard general, he considers the interests of Ding Yuan wholeheartedly, and he also admires Zhang Liao very much, but this Wei Yannai is a military general who is born unwilling to be commanded, he always thinks that he will lead the troops to fight independently and not be constrained by others, so this time the ambition in his heart continues to rise, and his eyes show a bloodthirsty light, this time he must use the most brutal attack to make the troops defending the city frightened, so that the morale is greatly lost, so that it is his chance, the opportunity to capture the city!

Therefore, when it is almost within three kilometers, this distance is the maximum attack distance of a large trebuchet, although it has power, but this power is not full, but Wei Yan left ten large trebuchets here, leaving three thousand soldiers and horses!

Because a large trebuchet requires 30 people to fully control!

Immediately after that, he continued to advance, and Wei Yan continued to arrange troops according to the opportunity in his heart, this time Wei Yan really wanted to capture this Blackwater City at one time!

This time, Wei Yan brought thirty large trebuchets, so soon after, when the twenty trebuchets were arranged, the army was about to enter the best attack range of the army defending the city, but at this time Wei Yan was cold-eyed...... (To be continued......)
