From refugee NPC to mythical general

Chapter 164: Not an ordinary general
In San'an Town, Zhuge Liang, Guan Ping, Gao Shun and other main generals of Daming Town are all stationed here, while Fengzhuang Town is guarded by Le Jin and Gan Ning. No matter which of these two towns the Wu Dynasty attacks, it will not be easy to take it down.

Zhuge Liang had already made strategic arrangements.

Early this morning, there was heavy fog and visibility was extremely low, and the soldiers of San'an Town had already begun to be on high alert.

"General Gao."

Zhuge Liang found Gao Shun and ordered him, "Take 3,000 cavalry from the Xianzhen Camp and set up an ambush outside."

"Once the enemy starts attacking San'an Town, I will ask you to immediately take a detour and raid the plains."

"Your mission is to seize the enemy's baggage train. I don't need the food and fodder. Find a way to burn it."

"If you can annihilate the enemy's baggage train, then annihilate them all. But remember, don't fight hard. Your main task is to burn the enemy's food supplies."

Gao Shun clasped his fists and said, "Yes! I will definitely complete the mission."

In the heavy fog, Xiahou Yuan's 70,000 main forces were already at the gate of the city. Looking at the weather, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but feel relaxed.

Such good weather allows him to do so many things.

"Beat the drums! March!"

Following Xiahou Yuan's order, the densely packed Wu army launched a fierce siege on San'an Town. It would be best if they could capture San'an Town, but it didn't matter if they couldn't, as his main target was not here.

If San'an Town can be captured, food and grass will be replenished. If not, the troops led by Mi Fang can raid Chenpi Town on the border.

Xiahou Yuan has made all the necessary preparations.

The 3,000-man Xianzhen Camp, which was ambushed outside the city, looked at the beacon fires on the top of the city wall. He immediately led the 3,000-man Xianzhen Camp and began to charge and raid along the 300-mile plain on the border of the Dameng Dynasty, preparing to find the supply troops in the rear of the Wu Dynasty.

On the city wall of San'an Town, the battle was particularly fierce because Zhuge Liang and Guan Ping were personally guarding the city.

Although the Wu Dynasty had a large number of troops, every time the soldiers climbed to the top of the city wall, they would be killed in large numbers.

Wave after wave of troops continued to climb up to the top of San'an Town, but were never able to land on the city wall.

Xiahou Yuan smiled and pointed to San'an Town, saying confidently, "Sure enough, the opponent's main defense forces are all here."

“They were fooled.”

From the very beginning, when Xiahou Yuan failed to completely wipe out the enemy's scouts, he started to make plans.

He wanted to make the commander of the Dameng Dynasty mistakenly believe that he was going to attack San'an Town, so that all the main forces of the Dameng Dynasty could be transferred here.

The result was exactly as he had imagined. All the main forces of the Dameng Dynasty were attracted here, otherwise the opponent's defense would not have been so strong.

Especially the commander. Wu Yingxiong had checked his attributes. He was a fourth-rate general! Xiahou Yuan was a little excited at first, but gradually his face became a little strange. He asked Wu Yingxiong, "My lord, you said that their commander here is only a fourth-rate general?"

This is not right. Logically, the other side should have a third-rate general as the commander. Why is the main defensive general here a fourth-rate general?
Xiahou Yuan could clearly feel that this fourth-rate general on the other side was different from others. Those soldiers could not even last a single move under him. His fighting power was not like that of a fourth-rate general at all. It was no exaggeration to say that he was on par with himself.

Xiahou Yuan felt curious, but now that all the strategic plans had been made, he had no time to think about it.

"General Mi Fang, I will allocate 30,000 troops to you. You must return to the border immediately. Chenpi Town must be under defense. You must capture Chenpi Town for me no matter what. Once you capture the town, send troops to notify us immediately."

"Here!"

Zhuge Jin had a worried look on his face. He was most worried about the baggage in the rear. So he said to Xiahou Yuan and Wu Yingxiong, "General, my lord, Feng Xi is only escorting 5,000 baggage soldiers. If they are attacked by surprise, have you considered this?"

Xiahou Yuan asked, "Where do they have extra troops to attack General Feng Xi?"

"I have held back all their main forces. There is no way they would dare to split up their forces to attack the baggage train."

Originally, the military strength of the Dameng Dynasty was inferior to that of the Wu Dynasty, and now defense has become difficult. How could they afford to allocate their limited military strength to fight against the Wu Dynasty's baggage train?
"Continue the siege!" Xiahou Yuan stared at Zhuge Liang on the top of the city and gave a stern order.

While he was looking at Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang was also looking at Xiahou Yuan.

The soldiers on the city walls climbed desperately and were constantly killed by the defending soldiers of the Dameng Dynasty. After being reinforced, the defense of the town was extremely strong.

These soldiers died too quickly and could not survive on the battlefield for more than a cup of tea.

The soldiers defending the city from the Dameng Dynasty also died, but compared with the number of deaths of the soldiers attacking the city, the number of deaths of the Dameng Dynasty soldiers was much less.

Xiahou Yuan did not throw everything to the wind and let his soldiers attack frantically. Seeing that the siege was becoming stalemate, he immediately ordered his soldiers to retreat and rest, and surrounded San'an Town. From the beginning to the end, Xiahou Yuan's target was not San'an Town. He was just feinting here.

On the top of the city wall, Guan Ping asked Zhuge Liang anxiously, "General Zhuge, the enemy's troops are very strong and have many commanders. Will they really send troops to attack Chenpi?"

Xiahou Yuan hid his troops and set up his base camp five miles away from San'an Town. No one knew how many troops he had here.

If Xiahou Yuan really did not do as Zhuge Liang had imagined, but really took a huge risk and deployed all 70,000 troops in front of San'an Town, determined to take San'an Town at all costs, what should we do then?

This is a question that must be considered, because all of Zhuge Liang’s previous strategic arrangements were based on his own calculations. What if they were wrong?
Let Le Jin and Gan Ning who are stationed in Fengzhuang Town come to reinforce?
But as long as they come over, with the enemy's high mobility and keen observation, they will immediately divide their troops to attack Fengzhuang Town, and Fengzhuang Town will definitely be easily conquered in the end.

In other words, San'an Town is now an isolated city. If the enemy did not attack according to Zhuge Liang's calculations, 70,000 troops would have been able to capture San'an Town in half a day!

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Anyway, it has been arranged like this. Don't think too much about it. It will only put yourself in trouble."

"If San'an Town is really going to be breached, then we should move the people to Fengzhuang Town as soon as possible."

Guan Ping nodded. Since Zhuge Liang had already made strategic arrangements, now was not the time to doubt. Only by working together could they win the war. If they were suspicious of each other, the Dameng Dynasty would definitely not have a good ending!
