Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 490 The Battle of Puyang 2
For four consecutive days, Cao Cao did not take any action. These days, he has sent people to keep an eye on Puyang City to prevent Lu Bu from making any other changes. However, so far, Lu Bu has no plans to send troops out of the city.

Cao Jun's camp, in Cao Cao's camp, Cao Cao is discussing the military situation with the generals again, and he is currently attacking the city, but to a certain extent, he is taking the initiative, but Lu Bu's cavalry is a big killer, Cao Cao Had to be careful.

"My lord, the last general has already found out." Yu Jin stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Lü Bu first has an army of 7000, of which [-] are elite cavalry and the rest are newly recruited soldiers.

Except for the more than 7000 soldiers in the hands of Lu Bu's general Zang Ba, who are considered elite, the rest of the soldiers are vulnerable. If we confront each other on the frontal battlefield, our army has five levels of confidence to win the opponent, but the enemy's cavalry is stronger than our army Too many cavalry.

Lu Bu shrank the main force of the army to defend the city, and handed over the task of defending the city to his general Zhang Liao. Now the soldiers in charge of defending the city are basically new recruits.In other words, if our army attacks the city, it will be difficult for the enemy to resist. Our army is brave, and they are all veterans with experience in attacking cities and villages.

At the same time, in order to deal with our army, Lu Bu set up another small village outside the city yesterday. Zang Ba, who had just surrendered to Lu Bu, led 1 troops under his command to guard the small village, forming a corner with Puyang, which actually posed a threat to our army .

If our army is attacking Puyang now, we must prevent Zang Ba's sneak attack, but if our army is going to attack Xiaozhai, Lu Bu will definitely lead the cavalry to challenge. "

"Hmph, it's really cruel." Cao Cao sneered, "This must not be a strategy that Lu Bu could have come up with, Gongtai, you are really kind to me, and you are forcing me to my death.

What is the current situation in the small village outside the city, how many troops are stationed, and what is the surrounding terrain like?Did Lu Bu have any other actions in the past two days? In addition, how about going to the city to contact Neiying? "

"My lord, the small village outside the city is located on a high mountain, suitable for holding on." Xiahou Dun stepped forward and replied, "There is a source of water on the mountain, Zang Ba is very resourceful, and our army has yet to find a breakthrough.

Lu Bu hasn't made any other movement these days, and he heard a response from the inside of the city. Lü Bu is proud and complacent, and now he is throwing wine in the city to celebrate his victory.

Since Lu Bu entered the city, he has not stopped blackmailing the aristocratic families in the city. Many people have long been dissatisfied with Lu Bu's oppression, and now they desperately hope that the lord can regain Puyang.

We have already contacted several people. If we unite the forces in the city, as long as the timing is right, we can take Puyang. If our army starts street fighting in the city, Lu Bu's cavalry will definitely not be able to exert their advantage.

Now our army only has this option left. Lu Bu is not good at defending the city. Among his generals, only Zhang Liao and Zang Ba can pose a threat to our army in the battle of defending the city. The rest of the generals are not worth mentioning.

Now, in order to keep an eye on our army, Lu Bu has sent out Zang Ba, and handed over the task of defending the city to Zhang Liao. In this way, the two of them must be overwhelmed, and our army can take the opportunity to attack. "

"Hmph, Lu Bu, you're an idiot, Gongtai is also clever but he was misunderstood by his cleverness." Cao Cao sneered, "If he sticks to Puyang City, then our army will only have to attack by force.

But now, our army has a choice in terms of offense, and the initiative has always been in the hands of our army.Hehe, Gongtai has calculated everything, but Lu Bu was not included.

With successive victories, how could Lu Bu not be proud and complacent, and according to his character, how could he obey Chen Gongyan.Although Chen Gong had a plan, he couldn't fully implement it. In this way, our army could take advantage of it.

Yuan Rang, tonight you lead [-] soldiers to attack the small village outside the city. Remember, bring more torches to confuse the enemy.Although Zang Ba has some abilities, he never dares to act rashly, so I expect him to stick to it.

Wen Ze, you led [-] soldiers to ambush behind the Xiaozhai. When you heard that Yuan Rang's side was attacking the city, you were ready to take the Xiaozhai by force. The night was dark and the wind was high, and the enemy couldn't tell the direction of our army, let alone count The number of our troops, as long as Yuan Rang can attract Zang Ba's attention, Xiaozhai is at your fingertips.

When the news of the surprise attack on Xiaozhai came back, Lu Bu would definitely lead his army to come to support. Our army can just lay in an ambush halfway, so you two must cooperate well.

I threw [-] troops to fight Lu Bu, hehe, Lu Bu, Lu Bu, these days are not too smooth, I want to see how long you can be brave, I will let you suffer a lot tonight. "

"My lord, why don't you lead more soldiers and horses to fight?" Xiahou Dun asked, clasping his hands: "Lv Bu led the army to help, it must be the elite cavalry under his command. If the number of our army is small, it would be bad." "

"Don't underestimate Lu Bu's military adviser." Cao Cao replied, "I'm afraid Chen Gong can think of things that we can think of, and it is risky to attack Xiaozhai tonight.

If they are counted correctly by the opponent, they are very likely to come back and attack our camp, so there must be enough strength in the camp to defend.

Besides, tonight is a sneak attack, and the emphasis is on secret operations. If there are too many people, they will definitely be detected by the opponent's scouts. At that time, our army's whereabouts will be exposed and we will not be able to obtain results. "

You must obey orders. The high walls of Puyang City cannot be captured by ordinary means. In order to reduce casualties, our army must lead the enemy by the nose.Tonight, we will teach Lu Bu a lesson. "

"No." Everyone knew that there would be a big move tonight. They had been suffering from Lu Bu for a while, and they finally had a chance to take revenge tonight.

In Puyang City, Lu Bu felt that everything was under control, and he could defeat Cao Jun only when he was exhausted.Moreover, Lu Bu and his soldiers have indeed endured hardships during this period of time.

From resisting Yuan Shao at the beginning to repelling Yuan Shao, and later raiding Yanzhou for a long distance to take down Puyang, I don't know how many hardships I suffered in the middle, and now I have to face Cao Cao's army before I can take a breath.

In order to cope with these things, Lu Bu hadn't had a good drink for more than a month, which was a torment for Lu Bu, especially after he won a big victory, he couldn't celebrate with wine, which made Lu Bu very helpless.

Now Cao Cao's army is afraid to move outside the city, and he has set up a small stronghold to keep an eye on the opponent. No matter what Cao Cao does, he will fall into a passive position. Celebrate.

However, he was also a man of measure, he just invited the heads of the most prestigious families in the city to the banquet. As for the generals under his command, since they were busy with military affairs at this time, Lu Bu did not invite them.

Chen Gong also received the invitation after finishing the work at hand, but he was not in the mood to drink. Now that the overall situation is uncertain, Cao Jun is watching, and Puyang City may change hands at any time. How can we celebrate with wine at this time?
As soon as he entered Lv Bu's mansion, Chen Gong said to Lv Bu: "My lord, the news that General Zang Ba led troops to guard the small village outside the city may have been found out by Cao Cao. According to Cao Cao's character, he will definitely attack.

Although General Zang Ba has 1 horses under his command, there are only [-] elites. If Cao's army attacks aggressively, General Zang Ba may be difficult to resist.

Cao Jun's scouts have been active these days, and it seems that there is a big move. In order to ensure the safety of the small village outside the city, it is better for the Lord to increase his troops. "

"The small village is only twenty miles away from the city, and my cavalry can reach it in half an hour." Lu Bu replied, "Cao Cao can't hold his head up even after being beaten by me, how dare he send troops to attack.

You don't have to worry about the military division. I have the solidity of Puyang City and tens of thousands of troops. What can Cao Cao do to me?Just wait for Cao Cao to retreat, and I will deal him a fatal blow, and then everything will be settled. "

"No, no." Chen Gong denied, "My lord, who is Cao Cao? He is not the kind of person who is willing to suffer. Although he has not made any other moves these days, I guess he has been looking for opportunities.

Cao Cao is definitely a tough opponent. Our army has to defend. The small village outside the city is only a few days old. General Zang Ba may not be able to hold on to it. He also asks the Lord to send troops to reinforce it. Don't let the small village be attacked by Cao Cao. "

"Okay, okay." Lu Bu waved his hands impatiently and said, "I'll let Wen Yuan lead 5000 troops to support them later, and Xiaozhai has [-] troops, which is enough to resist Cao Cao's attack.

Besides, military division, isn't the meaning of Xiaozhai just to attract Cao Cao to divide his troops?In this way, our army can just attack Cao Jun in a sneak attack. If Cao Cao dare not attack the small village, then what's the use of setting up this small village. "

"My lord is confused." Chen Gong replied: "If Cao Cao refuses to attack, then the small stronghold will be able to form a corner with the city after it is built, and it will be impossible for Cao Jun to attack the city.

As long as Cao Cao is held back and it takes him a month, he will definitely not be able to hold on. At that time, Cao Cao will definitely retreat and the siege of Puyang will be resolved. "

"Okay, okay, I understand." Lu Bu waved his hand and replied: "In the end, Cao Jun is nothing to worry about, why waste him for a month, after half a month, when my cavalry rests, I can lead my cavalry to defeat Cao Cao." , as for now, hahaha, just drink."

"Hey, my lord..." Chen Gong wanted to persuade him again, but found that Lu Bu didn't listen to him at all. In desperation, he had no choice but to go back and arrange related matters.

For more than a month, my side has indeed gone so smoothly that my lord has lost his composure.Chen Gong has already seen that his lord is too proud and complacent. If it goes on for a long time, he may be attacked by Cao Cao.

However, fortunately, Lu Bu has not forgotten the enemies outside the city, so the situation is not that bad.

In the middle of the night, when the city was on guard, the small village twenty miles outside the city was attacked. Zang Ba's military skills are not low, but most of his soldiers are recruits, and he has never experienced such a situation. , it didn't take long for my side to be beaten and retreated steadily.

What Zang Ba didn't expect was that the attack at the front camp was actually a cover. Yu Jin led [-] elite troops to guard in the back camp of the small village for most of the night. Xiaozhai back camp.

This time the trouble was serious, and Zang Ba could only control the more than 4000 soldiers and horses in his hands to continue to resist, and the rest of the troops were in a mess at this time.The originally strong village suddenly fell into chaos.
