Regarding the combat strength of the previous time, Guan Yu has also reviewed and reflected on it many times.

It is true that the second master of the Mi family is becoming more and more unaware of the restraint of the wanton damage to the public and private interests, and in the Northern Expedition that almost lost Jingzhou last time, it played a serious role in dragging down the front-line troops.

An army does not have enough food and grass, and there is not enough equipment to attack the city, and even the arrows are not enough to hit the back...... How is this going to be fought?

If the siege equipment is sufficient, and the soldiers can be fed, there are only thousands of defenders in Fancheng at the beginning, and the broken city wall after the flood impact is soaked, how can there be a reason why it cannot be broken for a long time?

When the time comes, don't let alone sink the white horse, even if you let the white horse sink yourself, don't think you can keep it.

However, there are not no problems in strategy, and those problems and shortcomings, Guan Yu is fully prepared this time.

"Father. The materials and equipment have been counted, all are ready, and they are being loaded in batches. Guan Ping hugged his fists, "It is expected that in two days, our army will be able to cross the river and land on the north bank!" ”

"Hmm." Guan Yu nodded, "These ordnance are very important, they must be placed properly, and they must not be lost." ”

"Yes."

"Huh?" Guan Yu looked at Guan Ping, who was still standing aside, "What's the matter?" ”

Guan Ping hesitated for a moment and said, "The child has something unclear and wants to ask his father for ......."

"Hehe, you say, what's wrong?" At this moment, he was just waiting for the whole army to attack, and there was nothing to do, and Guan Yu, who was happy to get the battle report on the Western Front, asked with a smile.

Guan Ping has experienced a major battle in Jingzhou, and has become more mature and stable, but there is no lack of fortitude and determination to dare to fight, and he is already a qualified general who can take charge of himself, and he is also satisfied with his son's improvement.

In fact, this is Guan Yu's standard requirement, in the eyes of other generals, Guan Ping has long been a brave and resourceful general.

"Father, Fancheng is not strong, and he has his own Lei Gong to smash it open. Cao Ren has a large number of cavalry in his hands this time, and he will not want to trap all his troops in the lonely city, and we will inevitably fight with it head-on. ”

Guan Yu nodded, isn't this a natural thing, what's wrong with this.

"Those Zhuge crossbows that we rushed to make are naturally prepared to deal with Cao Ren's cavalry. Can...... Why did you carry those many vans onto the boat and carry them across the river? ”

Thinking of those big and bulky guys that were assembled, Guan Ping looked puzzled again.

Is it possible to let the soldiers hide in the van to fight? But although there are many vans, where can they hold tens of thousands of troops.

The van is heavy and difficult to navigate, and once the other troops are divided and disintegrated by the enemy cavalry using their mobility, won't this thing become a large coffin?

Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Hahaha, my son doesn't know, this thing can be called the key to our army's victory." ”

Guan Ping's side was even more confused when he heard it.

Guan Yu didn't sell Guan Zi anymore, and cautiously took out a bag from his sleeve with a smile and handed it over.

"This is ......" Isn't this what my father used to light up and read at night in the dead of night recently?

Recently, I have been studying this thing, and even the spring and autumn that I usually love to read have put down...... It can be seen that it is by no means an idle thing.

Curiously took the bag and pulled out two rolls of cloth, but it was unexpectedly big.

It's almost the size of a map, but when you spread it out, the content on it is very different from what Guan Ping imagined.

One of them is a carefully drawn drawing, on which the depictions are also marked separately.

"It's ...... Is it a formation diagram? Guan Ping's eyes lit up and exclaimed.

Guan Yu looked at it with a smile and didn't answer, he knew that his son was already immersed in the formation, and his ears didn't hear anything else.

After a long time, Guan Ping raised his head unfinished and said with emotion: "I don't want the prime minister to realize such a subtle formation, it is simply tailor-made for our army's battle...... The talent of the prime minister is beyond the imagination of a child. ”

"Hahaha, you guessed wrong this time." Guan Yu stroked his long hair with his hand and smiled very happily, "This formation was made by the prince, you can take a look at the other letter." ”

"Huh?" Guan Ping was obviously stunned, such a subtle formation was actually done by the prince?

How old is the prince...... Martial arts, military training, equestrianism, archery, when he was in Jingzhou, it was surprising that he could practice the formation given by Prime Minister Zhuge to perfection.

Can you even come up with a new formation?

Although this array is suitable for limited terrain, it is just suitable for the Northern Expedition of Jingzhou, which shows that the prince did it intentionally.

Usually forget to sleep and eat, for their Jingzhou soldiers to study this formation......

Thinking of this, Guan Ping's nose was sour, and he was moved.

The prince treats his ministers like this, and the ministers should repay them with death!

Suppressing his passionate emotions, Guan Ping looked at another scroll of cloth, and the upper part of the front half was the arrangement, practice, and change of this formation.

The handwriting of the second half of the letter is obviously different from the previous one, and it is a handwritten letter from Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng.

In addition to agreeing on the timing of the Jingzhou Front army to go north, the letter also repeatedly told my father to pay attention to this formation and practice diligently, so that after crossing the river, he would be able to defeat the enemy and be ashamed.

“…… I see. Guan Ping suddenly thought of the battle formation that his father had rehearsed.

Not to mention that the battle array was full of loopholes, at least it was lackluster, but my father insisted on going his own way.

Guan Ping, who was familiar with his temperament, couldn't persuade him, so he had to let it go, and he didn't think that his father could see the fault.

Now the truth is revealed.

It turned out that the formation was missing the most important thing - it was these seemingly bulky and useless vans!

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Guan Ping couldn't help but admire, "As soon as this array comes out, even if Cao Ren has tens of thousands of fine riders, what can he do to me?" ”

"Hey, whether it will work or not will depend on the battle." Guan Yu solemnly admonished, "Don't be arrogant and underestimate the enemy, then Cao Ren has been guarding this place for many years, and maybe there are countermeasures." ”

"Yes." Guan Ping bowed and clenched his fists, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

After the war in Jingzhou, his father did change......

……

Guan Yu received the battle report on the Western Front, and Cao Ren naturally got the news, and he also got the news from Luoyang at the same time.

The war on the Western Front was unfavorable, and the imperial court had already mobilized the remaining Central Army to support.

It is said that the Duke of Qi personally led the rebel general Wen Ping to Guanzhong to support.

In this way, Cao Ren is not too worried about Guanzhong, after all, there is Zhang He to defend the town, and there is Xiongguan Jiancheng, so it is not so easy to be captured in a short time.

On the contrary, on his own side, Guan Yu, who has always confronted him across the river after occupying Xiangyang, is very likely to take advantage of this opportunity to go north to contain himself and His Majesty's eastern front troops, so that they cannot easily support the west.

He handed over the letter he had written to his soldiers along with his own talismans: "Hurry up and bring this order to transfer the soldiers and horses of Wancheng to come, there must be no loss!" ”

"Yes!"

If he is defeated here, Liu Bei Guan Yu will be able to completely open up the water and completely connect Hanzhong, the three counties, and Jingzhou.

At that time, even if there are still defenders in Wancheng, it will not be able to defend it for a long time, so it is better to fight here!

Cao Ren didn't realize that his decision at this time also implied another layer of thought.

After the death of the complacent pet, in the dead of night, he always can't forget the conversation with himself before the man left.

He needed a big victory, and only the crushing defeat of the Jingzhou army could dispel the nightmare of the coward who pointed his nose at midnight and scolded him......
