Looking at Nanyang County, which is close at hand.

Ji Ling could only sigh helplessly.

On this expedition, he also brought a lot of dragon roars and thunder.

But this dragon roar and thunder can't blow up the city wall, only the city gate.

And the city gate is not big.

It will take a while for tens of thousands of troops to get in.

And during this time, they were completely the live targets of the defenders of Nanyang County.

There is no other option but to die in vain.

Ji Ling was worried for a while.

He originally wanted to start from Nanyang County and cut off the retreat of Liu Hong's army.

However, now it seems.

I am afraid that there is no way to cut off this retreat.

Grab the bull by the horns.

Ji Ling immediately ordered the army to take a detour.

So far.

There is only a detour.

It's just that there will be a delay on the way.

on the city walls.

Looking at Ji Ling's army, which turned around and left quickly, Zhu Zhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally held on.

Thanks to Liu Hong's other ways to use the dragon chanting thunder.

Otherwise, even if Nanyang County is conquered today.

Zhu Zhi is afraid that he can't think of this layer.

After Ji Ling's army withdrew, it immediately changed its route and detoured.

It's just that they didn't follow the road of Nanjun that Yuan Shang took.

Instead, they chose a different trail.

If you detour directly from here, you can also cut into Wuling County.

So as to block Liu Hong's back road.

and with Sun Jian's army.

In one fell swoop, Liu Hong's army could be annihilated.

A day and a half later.

Liu Hong, who was resting the army in Wuling County, received an urgent letter of 800 miles from Zhu Zhi of Nanyang County.

There was only a short line on the letter.

Nanyang County was invaded by an army of 150,000! Request support!

Liu Hong, who learned the news, immediately gathered all the generals.

Then he handed the letter to everyone and looked at it.

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

"Your Majesty, I think we should give up Nanyang County."

"It's been a day and a half since the letter was sent here for 800 miles, and maybe Nanyang County has already changed hands."

Cheng Pu said in a deep voice.

As the guard of Wuling County, Cheng Pu couldn't know these things very well.

With an army of 150,000 troops, how could Nanyang County, which had only some remnants of veterans left, be able to hold it?

"I also agree with General Cheng Pu's opinion, I'm afraid that not only Nanyang County has changed hands, but the 150,000 troops are already on their way to Wuling County."

Duan Xuan also echoed.

Hearing this, the generals also nodded.

Liu Hong fell into deep thought slightly when he heard this.

He was also hesitating whether to give up Nanyang County.

Just when Liu Hong fell into thinking.

A herald ran in from outside the tent again.

"Report! General Zhu Zhi of Nanyang County 800 miles urgent letter! ”

As he spoke, the herald respectfully handed the letter to Liu Hong.

Another 800-mile expedited?

Liu Hong and the generals who heard the news were suddenly stunned.

Immediately after that, Liu Hong immediately opened the letter.

"I see, I finally understand what's going on."

After reading the letter.

Liu Hong smiled.

"Your Majesty, what's going on in Nanyang County?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, can you stop selling Guanzi!"

The generals were suddenly anxious.

Hearing this, Liu Hong smiled, and then repeated the contents of the letter.

He was also shocked to say it.

The army of 150,000 invaders actually started infighting and took away 100,000?

The remaining 50,000 troops were beaten away?

"I didn't expect General Zhu Zhi to be quite a trick."

"This luck is too good, the original dead game has turned into a living situation."

Everyone couldn't help but sigh.

Only Cheng Pu looked pensive.

"Your Majesty, the sudden withdrawal of the 100,000 troops is definitely a cat, maybe they want to take a detour."

"Another army of 50,000 men is also likely not to retreat, but to take a detour."

Cheng Pu said suddenly.

Everyone cast curious glances.

"Why did General Cheng Pu say this?"

"Look, everybody."

Cheng Pu got up and walked slowly to the map, and then pointed his finger at Nanyang County.

"That 100,000-strong army is likely heading towards Nanjun, and there is a road in Nanjun that leads directly to Wuling County."

"On the other side of Nanyang County, there is a rugged and steep mountain path, which is very suitable for tens of thousands of soldiers and horses."

"Therefore, the last general will conclude that these two armies will definitely go to Wuling County from these two directions."

"The hostility of the army of 50,000 is clear, but the enemy of the other army of 100,000 is still unknown."

"But it's obvious that these two armies are definitely not together, otherwise as long as they are united, Nanyang County, which has only 20,000 defenders, will not be able to hold it at all."

Cheng Pu finished his inner thoughts in one breath, then paused, and said with some hesitation: "The reason why the last general is so sure is very simple. ”

"When I was under Sun Jianmen, I led the army to divide into two routes, and in just a few days, I conquered Wuling County and Changsha County one after another."

"So the Admiral thinks that the two armies are likely to think the same thing."

After listening to Cheng Pu's words.

Everyone couldn't help but think about it.

Cheng Pu's words do make sense.

Whether it's an army of 50,000 or an army of 100,000.

It's impossible not to gnaw on a Nanyang County.

And the purpose of the other party's coming to Jingzhou can be known with his ass.

Liu Hong thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "What good way do you generals?" ”

"If this is a detour of 150,000 troops and goes straight to Wuling County, we won't cut off our back road."

"At that time, Sun Jian only needs to send a large army from Yangzhou to pounce, and we will definitely not be able to stop it."

The voice fell.

There was silence again in the tent.

Immediately, the eyes of all the generals fell on Cheng Pu.

"General Cheng Pu, since you are the defender of Jingzhou and have used the same tactics, you must know more than us."

"It's up to you to talk about it."

Liu Hong gestured.

Cheng Pu was not ambiguous, and immediately said his thoughts.

"The path on which the army of 50,000 walked was rugged and steep, surrounded by mountains, and was the most suitable for an ambush by a large army."

"And the soil and rocks there are loose, if you use the dragon chant thunder, it is very likely to cause a wide range of cracks, and the lethality is very strong."

"As for the South County road, behind the Great Plains, we have no other way but to defend head-on."

"But the defenders of Nanjun may be able to help us withstand those 100,000 troops for a while."

Cheng Pu calculated all the possibilities in his mind.

In the end, I still think that this is the best solution.

As for the 100,000 troops coming from Nanjun, it is estimated that they will be blocked by the defenders of Nanjun for half a day and a day.

It's enough for them to arm.

Liu Hong also nodded with satisfaction.

This method sounds like a very feasible approach.

"Since General Cheng Pu knows better, then this matter will be handed over to General Cheng Pu, and all armies must obey General Cheng Pu's dispatch."

"If there is a violator, there will be no forgiveness!"

Liu Hong directly decided to hand over the matter to Cheng Pu.
