From refugee NPC to mythical general

Chapter 166 The ultimate plan
When Wu Yingxiong, Xiahou Yuan and other lords, generals, and counselors of the Xia Dynasty heard the information brought by Feng Xi, they were all shocked, with expressions of extreme shock on their faces.

How dare the commander of the Great Dream Dynasty do this? The situation on the battlefield is so tense now, aren't they afraid that the city will be breached? How dare they send troops to attack their food supplies?
Zhuge Jin's face was filled with deep worry. Now the Wu Dynasty's offensive pace was completely disrupted. He made a rough estimate that the only 10,000 grains brought by Feng Xi might only be enough to support the army for three days.

"Three days is enough!"

Xiahou Yuan said calmly: "In these three days, General Mi will definitely be able to capture Chenpi Town."

"But we can't just sit there and do nothing. Since they dare to send troops to hijack our food supplies, let San'an Town be buried with them!"

Xiahou Yuan was about to order the army to attack San'an Town with all their might, but was stopped by Zhuge Jin.

"General, stop attacking, let's retreat."

Xiahou Yuan said sternly: "If we take over San'an Town, we can replenish our food supplies. We will definitely be able to take over San'an Town in three days."

"Pass the order down. Do not spread the news that the baggage and food have been robbed. Tell all the soldiers that General Feng has brought 100,000 tons of food. Let the soldiers eat and drink enough tonight, and let them fight to the death for me to capture San'an Town tomorrow."

"If this town is captured, the soldiers can freely deal with all the things and people in the town!"

There was really no other way, Xiahou Yuan could only use this extreme method to stimulate and inspire the soldiers, because he knew that once the soldiers knew that the army was short of food, their combat effectiveness would probably plummet.

He could only motivate all the soldiers in this way, hoping that they could exert their maximum combat effectiveness in the siege tomorrow.

Early the next morning.

The morale of the Wu Dynasty's soldiers was greatly boosted, and the intensity of the siege became stronger and stronger. All the soldiers of the Wu Dynasty seemed to be fearless of death and launched a fierce attack on the city wall of San'an Town.

The vanguard troops above landed in the city, and those below followed closely, all charging towards San'an Town with a desperate attitude.

Zhuge Liang looked at this group of soldiers and thought that the other side's commander must have promised these soldiers that San'an Town must not be abandoned. If San'an Town was broken, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Kill! Kill with all your might. Don't let anyone get in through any gap."

Zhuge Liang brandished his weapon and defended the city tightly. The situation on the city wall gradually became tense. The enemy's troops were too numerous and seemed to be endless.

Zhuge Liang even thought that he had made a misjudgment. The other side had no intention of attacking Chenpi Town. Their main attack point was San'an Town.

Many soldiers climbed to the top of the city wall, and the soldiers of the Dameng Dynasty on the city wall were already entangled with them.

Fortunately, there was no danger and the soldiers who came up were quickly hacked to death on the spot.

But more and more enemy soldiers appeared on the ladders, and they were already very close.

Guan Ping was covered in blood, not knowing whether it was from the enemy or his own. He hurried to Zhuge Liang with his weapon in hand and fought side by side with him.

"General, today's offensive was particularly fierce. I guess it was because General Gao burned the enemy's food supplies, which angered them."

"Looking at their desperate state, could it be that all the troops are here?"

"If we continue like this, we will be unable to hold on sooner or later. General, should we go and request reinforcements?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "Keep fighting!"

Reinforcements... Zhuge Liang had thought about it, but who should he ask for reinforcements? Zhuge Liang had deployed troops in various towns, and these troops were to guard their respective towns.

As long as the enemy commander sees soldiers from the Great Dream Dynasty coming to attack, he will definitely immediately dispatch troops to attack other towns. If these soldiers leave the towns, it will be easier for Xiahou Yuan to attack. What should he do if that happens?
Don’t we want other towns anymore?

Losing any town would be fatal to the Dameng Dynasty.

Now he could only bite the bullet and give the order, asking Guan Ping not to be distracted and to fight hard to defend the city.

Not far from the city gate.

Xiahou Yuan looked at the two generals on the top of the city wall and squinted his eyes. "The martial arts of these two generals are extraordinary."

"Especially the younger black-armored general, whose martial arts skills are comparable to mine. I think he should be the enemy's commander."

"But their troops are obviously insufficient."

Seeing that his troops had begun to attack the enemy city, Xiahou Yuan's nervousness gradually eased. He said to Wu Yingxiong, "My lord, we are about to take San'an Town."

"With a few more rounds of attacks, San'an Town will surely fall."

Wu Yingxiong nodded secretly, and said to Zhuge Jin: "Mr. Zhuge, General Xiahou's decision is correct, you don't have to worry."

Zhuge Jin hummed without commenting, he still felt that things were not over yet.

At this moment, a personal soldier not far away rode his horse quickly to find Wu Yingxiong and Xiahou Yuan.

"Report, report to the lord, General, General Mi requests reinforcements."

Xiahou Yuan was stunned. In his imagination, the easiest city to capture was not San'an, but Chenpi.

Logically, there shouldn't be that many troops on the border, but now all the troops of the Dameng Dynasty are blocked by me. There shouldn't be any troops to support me.

He allocated 30,000 troops to Mi Fang. Why couldn't these 30,000 people take Chenpi Town? Even if they couldn't take it, he shouldn't have sent troops to reinforce it.

"What happened?" Xiahou Yuan narrowed his eyes and asked the soldier who came to report.

The soldier said hurriedly: "The enemy has deployed many soldiers and horses to defend Chenpi Town long ago. The number of people is much larger than General Mi estimated. They seem to know that we are going to attack the city and have set many traps outside."

"Before our troops even reached the city of Chenpi, one or two thousand of them died, and during the siege, thousands more died."

"Now our troops are less than 25,000. The opponent's defense is very strong, and the opponent's coach is also very strong."

"General Mi estimated that if things continued like this, they would not be able to capture Chenpi Town, so he asked the lord and General Xiahou to send troops to reinforce them as soon as possible."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened. How could it be possible?

Why did the other party predict in advance that they would attack Chenpi Town?

They actually saw through my strategic plan? At this moment, Xiahou Yuan suddenly felt a chill. All his strategic plans had been seen through by the other party, and now he was at a disadvantage.

If he transferred troops to reinforce Chenpi, San'an Town would definitely not be captured.

If all the troops were transferred to Chenpi, then other towns such as San'an could send troops there to assist in the defense. At that time, they still could not take Chenpi Town. Xiahou Yuan's face became more and more solemn...
