Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 276 Xu Chang's Weakness

Heilujian, with the completion of the Runan cleaning plan, Cao Hewei and Yue also led their troops to Heilujian to join Lu Bu's main force. With the return of these two troops, Heilujian's troops have reached [-]. If you count the Cao army that Huang Zhong recruited and surrendered, it is [-] troops, but at this moment Lu Bu did not have too much information because of this, but his mood began to become a little irritable.

"Ziyan hasn't returned yet?" Lu Bu called Wei Yue and asked again.

"My lord, don't worry. The last general has sent troops to explore westward. I believe news will come back soon." Wei Yue comforted him with a wry smile. He didn't expect this to be the first problem he encountered just after returning.

Where did Chu Nan send Guan Yu?No matter how far it was sent, and it was sent hundreds of miles away, with Chu Nanfeng's secret level, he should be back by this time. Could it be that Guan Er really dared to betray his promise and kill someone?
Thinking of this possibility, Lu Bu became even more irritable. His son-in-law must be fine. At this moment, Cao Xing stepped in through the curtain and said in a deep voice to Lu Bu, "My lord, the scouts are here to report that there are a large number of soldiers and horses coming from the west. Our army is coming quickly."

"Where are the troops?" Lu Bu asked with a frown.

"It's the Nanyang Army." Cao Xing replied.

"Nanyang Army?" Lu Bu was surprised. He thought it was Cao Jun. The Nanyang Army and Lu Bu could be regarded as allies. It is normal to send troops to help, but...

If I remember correctly, the Nanyang Army is now dragged by Liu Biao, and the possibility of sending troops to help on a large scale is very low. What does it mean that a large number of Nanyang Army appears here at this time?
Lu Bu was already irritable, so he stood up and said in a deep voice, "Order three thousand cavalry, follow me out of the camp!"

Although I don't understand what's going on, according to common sense, the Nanyang Army shouldn't be here, and if things go wrong, there must be demons!Some vigilance is a must.

Thinking of what Chu Nan said before, Lu Bu felt that it made sense, so he went to stop this team first.

"Here!" Cao Xing agreed, and hastily turned around to order soldiers.

The Nanyang army was very fast, and Lu Bu dispatched troops very quickly. In just a moment, under the leadership of Lu Bu, three thousand light cavalry surged out, following the direction of the Nanyang army all the way to meet them. After leaving the camp for ten miles, they encountered the surging Nanyang army. military.

Seeing the Nanyang army rushing towards this side, Lu Bu raised Fang Tian's painted halberd high in his hand, and then slammed it down. A black and red Gang Qi was born out of thin air, and then sank into the ground.

"Boom~"

The ground trembled violently, and a huge ravine stretched westward for tens of feet from Lu Bu's body, as if a moat had been formed out of thin air. Such an earth-shattering halberd also suffocated the advance of the Nanyang Army. , and then slowly stop.

Lv Bu rode his horse to the front of the formation. Facing the Nanyang army whose strength was several times that of his own, he opened his mouth and said murderously, "Who is leading the army? Why did you violate my border!?"

But seeing the Nanyang army, two people rode out, it was Chu Nan and Zhang Xiu, Chu Nan laughed loudly and said: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law went to Nanyang by the way, the decisive battle is imminent, our soldiers and horses are slightly short of manpower. The position is Zhang Xiu, the prefect of Nanyang, I wonder if my father-in-law still remembers it?"

"Jinrong?" Seeing his son-in-law come back safely, Lu Bu heaved a sigh of relief, and saw Zhang Xiu again. Knowing that this team was a friend rather than an enemy, the original murderous aura quickly dissipated, but the voice was too full of momentum before. Very cold, making people feel anxious.

"It's my nephew!" Zhang Xiu saluted. According to seniority, Lu Bu and Zhang Ji are considered to be of the same generation, although because of the killing of Dong Zhuo, the friendship between Lu Bu and the Xiliang generals should have followed Dong Zhuo's death. But it disappeared, and even turned back.

But times have changed, and now the generals in Xiliang still remember Dong Zhuo, and Zhang Ji has no hatred for Lu Bu, not to mention Zhang Xiu is now the head of the family. Now that everyone is an ally, the relationship in the past will naturally change. Become the link between the two parties, allowing the two parties to quickly build trust.

Lu Bu is obviously satisfied with Zhang Xiu's attitude. He really didn't expect that Chu Nan would send Guan Yu, and in the end he would bring back a large number of reinforcements. Definitely a general who is only under Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, he might be stronger than that Ji Ling, he laughed and said, "With Jin Rong's help, why worry about that Cao thief not breaking through this time?"

"Father-in-law, we don't want to stay here forever." Chu Nan reminded.

"That's right." Lu Bu nodded, then turned around and said, "Song Xian."

"The last general is here!" Song Xian came out.

"You are in charge of arranging for these Nanyang soldiers to set up camp, and someone else will set up a banquet. Today we will entertain the generals of Nanyang!" Lu Brown said.

"Here!" Song Xian agreed, and ordered people to choose a suitable place to camp in the surrounding area, and at the same time discuss with the Nanyang generals how to set up camp.

Zhang Xiu was invited by Lu Bu to the main camp to discuss the specific matter of breaking the city. Because Jia Xu didn't want to show up in this battle, he didn't attend but stayed in the army.

In the big tent of Lu Bu's army, a sand table has been placed at this moment. It was made by Chu Nan with Confucian magical powers. It basically shows the landforms of Xuchang and its surroundings, as well as the possible soldiers and horses.

"Father-in-law, General Zhang!" Chu Nan pointed to Xu Chang's position with a bamboo stick and said, "According to the information obtained from Zhong Yao, Xu Chang is now not counting the Yulin Army and the patrolling tigers. There are about [-] soldiers and horses. The above two armies are only between [-] and [-]."

"As for the current strength of our army, there are 7000 Jianghuai Army, [-] cavalry brought by my father-in-law, [-] surrendered Cao Jun, and [-] Nanyang Army, a total of [-] people. The strength is twice that of the enemy! "

"But..." Zhang Xiu looked at it for a moment and frowned, "Ziyan, according to what I said just now, the [-] soldiers are the new soldiers of Cao's army, how can they be used?"

"There is a way to surrender the army!" Chu Nan pointed to the north of Xuchang City and said: "I plan to use General Huang Zhong as the commander of the surrender army, and lead the troops to the direction of the northern city, not to attack the city, but to focus on defense and train troops day and night. horse!"

defense?

Everyone looked at Chu Nan inexplicably, this is a siege battle!As the attacking party, why should they defend instead?

Seeing everyone puzzled, Chu Nan was a little tired. If Jia Xu or Chen Gong were here, they would definitely understand what he meant, no matter how bad Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were. Now that there is no support, it would be a lot less fun to talk about it. , also lost a lot of admiring eyes.

Gathering up his mood, he pointed to the sand table and said, "If you are Cao Cao, I will station [-] soldiers and horses here. Even if I don't attack, do you dare to ignore it?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, after all, they are enemies, and there are 20,000 people, who would dare to ignore them?Maybe this kind of behavior is the opponent's strategy to paralyze him. When he relaxes, the [-] peaceful soldiers who have nothing to do with the world will turn into ferocious tigers and wolves in a blink of an eye!

"Besides that!" Chu Nan pointed to the sand table and continued: "This team can also make some simple equipment, not to mention things like catapults that require a lot of wood, but it is always possible to polish some stone bullets. This team Soldiers and horses are not used to attack the city, but they can be used as backup to support the other two battlefields."

In short, apart from attacking, this descending army can be regarded as a logistics army, and can do anything. Of course, if Cao Jun goes out of the city to attack, Huang Zhong is there, and with the ordnance provided by Chu Nan, it should be no problem to train a basic battle formation. , This can also ensure that this army of soldiers and horses can have enough combat effectiveness, so that they will not collapse when they are rushed by others.

After training for a long time, a certain combat effectiveness can still be formed here.

"Where is the flaw in Xuchang that Ziyan said?" Lu Bu suddenly looked at Chu Nan curiously and asked. Chu Nan had already said before that he had obtained the flaw in Xuchang from Zhong Yao, and Lu Bu had always cared about it. Hei Lujian didn't tell him that now that the city was about to be attacked, this loophole should come in handy. Lu Bu was very curious about the method?

"There are three flaws!"

Chu Nan nodded, this time he didn't try to hold back anymore, he pointed at the south gate of Xuchang with a bamboo stick and said: "In the past, Cao Cao used labor as relief to expand Xuchang. There was a lot of food, resulting in a lot of starvation. I was afraid that Cao Cao would blame me. Therefore, many places in this difficult city wall were directly wrapped in corpses. Pothole."

Everyone's eyes lit up, they didn't expect such a thing to happen in Xu Chang.

But then everyone frowned gradually. Xuchang, as the capital city, usually does not need city walls. After all, under normal circumstances, if the army has already reached Xuchang, it doesn't matter whether the city walls are strong or not.

Of course, it is a special case nowadays, but in this case, a large number of Confucian mantras such as indestructibility can also cover up the internal problems of the city wall.

"Ziyan, there are famous Confucian scholars everywhere in Xuchang city. With them, it doesn't matter whether there is a problem inside the city wall!" Zhang Xiu smiled wryly.

"This is related to the second flaw I want to talk about!" Chu Nan said with a smile: "You said that if this matter is spread, what will happen to the people who supervised the construction of this place?"

"The meaning of Ziyan is..." Zhang Xiu looked at Chu Nan with a twitch in his heart, "Do you want to use this to blackmail the person who supervised the construction?"

"The so-called embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant's nest. We don't ask him to do anything big. As long as our army sieges the city, mixes in the city, gathers a few famous Confucian scholars, and uses the method of speaking to the designated location, the other people's words will be followed." No matter how powerful and indestructible the city wall is, once it has a weakness, it will no longer be indestructible, what we want is not to blow down the entire city wall, but only a section of the city wall to blow down for our army is considered a success!"

After finishing speaking, Chu Nan poked a section of the city wall with a bamboo stick, smashed it, looked at the crowd and said, "As long as this point is destroyed by our army, Xuchang will be destroyed. What do you think?"

"This plan is brilliant!" Lu Bu nodded.

"Is there anyone for Ziyan to choose for this person who enters the city?" Zhang Xiu was thinking about another matter. This required someone to sneak into Xuchang to build an ant nest for the embankment of thousands of miles, which is not something ordinary people can do.

"I have a strange person under my command who has the ability to shrink bones and change shape. I plan to ask this person to sneak into Xuchang first." Chu Nan nodded and said, he had naturally thought about this matter.

"There is such a person?" Everyone was a little surprised when they heard the words, but they were overjoyed immediately. With this person, Chu Nan's strategy will work!
　Thanks to the big brother Yunfan in Aiaifengzhong for the reward. I owe three more, and I will definitely pay it back this month. I will post it as proof
