Chapter 391: Zhou Yu Breaks the Enemy
The battle of Huiji once again fell into a strange silence, since Li Xiao was deceived by Zhou Yu last time of nearly 100,000 arrows, no matter how provocative the Liu family army was, his Yangzhou army just couldn't hold out. In his opinion, as long as he could constantly put pressure on the defenders of Huiji City, so that they could not divide their troops to support Liu Fan who was on the front line. Zhou Yu also seized the other party's opportunity, and in two consecutive nights, he once again deceived the other party's 100,000 arrows, and Li Xiao finally found out that something was wrong.
The fleet that originally delivered supplies once every three days did not reach this point, and after five consecutive days without delivering supplies, Li Xiao couldn't help but send people to the rear to urge supplies. This is also Li Xiao's cautious character to save him, there is enough supply in the camp for half a month, but the arrows have become less and less after the Liu family army borrowed arrows several times, but the Liu family army will always attack the camp in the middle of the night, true or false, false and true Li Xiao did not know that Liu Jiajun would kill in that time.
Li Xiao couldn't help it, he really couldn't help it, he wanted to let Liu Jiajun ignore it, but he didn't expect that Liu Jiajun directly touched into the camp and created a lot of chaos for the camp. Now the morale of the Yangzhou army is low, and now Li Xiao wants to fight, but the Liu family army is uncharacteristically hiding in the city and does not come out, hanging up the battle exemption card every day, and does not accept the provocation of the Yangzhou army at all.
"Governor, now that the morale of the Yangzhou army is low, are we going to attack?" Zhang Hu and Cai Mao are now admiring Zhou Yu, and it is estimated that even if Zhou Yu asks them to hand over their lives, they will not hesitate. Before Zhou Yu came to Huiji, they had been pressed and beaten by the Yangzhou army, but now the Yangzhou army has been teased by Zhou Yu several times. Now the whole army has become restless. Morale has hit rock bottom. On the other hand, on his side, morale is strong, and every soldier now wants to fight urgently.
Zhou Yu sat next to a pond, holding a fishing rod fishing, shook his head with a smile on his face and said: "Now is not the time, although the Yangzhou army is restless, but if we attack now, it is also in line with Li Xiao's mind, he is now eager for us to fight." ”
"Are we just going to be exhausted like this? There is news from the lord's side, let's hold on to Li Xiao's cavalry. If Li Xiao uses this time to send cavalry to cut off the retreat of the lord, I am afraid. Zhang Hu frowned, in his opinion, the time was ripe, and Liu Fan's side had already started a war, once the 20,000 cavalry under their city attacked and cut off the back of the main force, the Liu family's army was likely to collapse without a fight.
"No, our military strength is now at most a defeat, not a total annihilation. Zhou Yu shook his head with a smile and continued to add: "Li Xiao's personality will definitely not send out the only 20,000 cavalry in his hands, because he is afraid that he will be able to do this when the supplies are sufficient. The defense can be leaky, and at most it is a defensive general. But it is not suitable for sending to the front line for offensive purposes. ”
"Have you noticed that the original Yangzhou army delivered supplies once every three days, and the most recent day to deliver supplies was five days ago. What is the reason for this? That is, the rear of Yangzhou is unstable, guess how much grain is still in Li Xiao's camp? How many arrows are there? All the material reserves are still enough for a few days?" Zhou Yu calculated very carefully, Zhang Hu and Cai Mao glanced at each other, and they were both surprised by Zhou Yu's calculation.
"Half a month, if my estimate is right, the most supplies in Li Xiao's camp are half a month, that is, after half a month, the Yangzhou army will have to face the choice of whether to retreat or continue to hold on here. At that time, when we attacked, the lord needed a stable Yangzhou, and needed sufficient troops to fight against Zhang Rang's Praetorian Guard, and these people were all qualified soldiers, and they were all the most haode soldiers, especially the 200,000 navy in Yizhou, which was the elite of the elite. As soon as the fishing rod in Zhou Yu's hand was mentioned, a big dace kept beating on Zhou Yu's fishing rod, and everyone listened to Zhou Yu's instructions, and they all dispelled the idea of going out of the city to fight.
Zhou Yu's calmness can make Li Xiao anxious, Li Xiao has been restless these days, hundreds of thousands of people tearing up Ma Jue is not a small number, the soldiers sent out to urge the supplies have gone batch after batch, and there has been no information from a group of soldiers so far. Li Xiao was in a hurry this time, constantly urging his subordinates to attack, and even launched several attacks to attack the city, but unfortunately the arrows in the hands of the Liu family army now are sufficient, and they are not at all the Liu family army that was short of supplies at the beginning.
"What are you talking about? Do you make it clear?" Li Xiao knew that something was wrong since he received Wang Tong's military report, but before he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong, and he didn't expect that a team of guards sent out would come back only two days later, and kneel in front of Li Xiao in embarrassment.
"General, the city of Yangzhou has fallen, and in the future, there will already be an enemy cavalry rushing here day and night, and the enemy's cavalry will arrive behind us in less than five days. The captain knelt on the ground covered in blood, and Li Xiao sat on the ground weakly, he finally understood that none of the soldiers sent out by Weishenme to urge supplies had returned.
"Come, order all the officers above the rank of lieutenant to come to the camp to discuss matters. Li Xiao waved his hand weakly, and let the captain go out, Li Xiao's personal soldiers quickly went out to convey military orders, and in half an hour, even the officers of the land battalion rushed to the water camp, and at this time, the war drums of Huiji City had already resounded through the heavens and the earth.
Knock knock, the heavy sound of war drums finally shattered the dullness of the past, Gan Ning sat on a war horse, holding the soul locking knife in his hand, followed by a carefully selected hundred horsemen. Zhou Yu received the military report from Liu Fan first, and Zhou Yu ordered the whole army to fight, and Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, as the two steel knives in Zhou Yu's hands, will attack the opponent's camp as the vanguard of the whole army.
"Follow me, kill!" Zhou Yu stood on top of the city, and the two guards next to him each held a shield in their hands to guard Zhou Yu's side, Gan Ning roared, as the city gate just opened a crack in the door, Gan Ning took the lead in rushing out, and the hundred horsemen behind him roared and pulled down their helmets, and drove the sitting war horse to the enemy with a roar.
"Brothers, follow me and kill!" Zhou Tai was naked, wrapped in blue aura, and at the forefront was a warship with a steel firing pin in the bow. Zhou Tai held the Seven Souls Silver Moon Knife in his hand, looking at the naval army camp in front of him with hideous eyes, and Cai Mao followed behind and commanded hundreds of warships to follow Zhou Tai into the enemy camp, and the soldiers of the Liu family army were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, this time was definitely a good time for them to make meritorious contributions.
"Attack!" Gan Ning roared, and hundreds of soldiers behind him threw out dozens of sturdy ropes and put them on the local wall, and the hundred horsemen made a concerted effort, and suddenly banged in the surprised eyes of the Yangzhou army, and the wall was pulled down by the hundred horses. The corners of Gan Ning's mouth twitched, the soul-locking knife in his hand shook, and the brush rushed into the enemy camp first.
The attack of the Liu family army came a little too suddenly, and even the soldiers of the Yangzhou army did not react, and their commanders had already been called away by Li Xiao. Gan Ning rushed into the enemy camp, and the soul-locking knife in his hand turned into the judge pen of the god of death, and countless enemy soldiers had already fallen on Gan Ning's fall before they could understand what was going on. The Yangzhou army was unorganized and fled without purpose, and a few brave people wanted to resist, and they would immediately be killed by the knife in Gan Ning's hand.
"The soldiers rushed in and destroyed the enemy army!" When Zhang Hu rushed to the enemy camp with the follow-up army, the Yangzhou army was already in a mess, and Gan Ning had already interspersed several rounds in the enemy camp with the hundred horsemen behind him, and all the generals under him were in one round. Zhang Hu, who rushed in, immediately threw all his liliang into the attack, and the Yangzhou army was even more confused, throwing away the weapons in his hands one by one and sitting on the ground amid the shouts of the Liu family's army.
The naval army camp, Li Xiao personally sat in charge, the army on the shore was finished, the smoke rising from the sky, the mountains were already full of soldiers of the Liu family's army, Zhou Tai, who was impacting the naval army camp, stood at the bow of the boat, looking coldly at the enemy's camp, and there was a huge war beast lying on the seven-star soul locking knife in his hand.
