Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 908 Confusing the Enemy 2
"It's not good, it's not good, my lord..." In the bedroom, Liu Biao is drinking porridge. He doesn't have a good appetite these days, so he can only eat something easy to digest. The bowl of porridge is not half finished , I heard Cai Hao running in and shouting: "My lord, something is wrong, Gao Shun has made a move..."

Liu Biao was so frightened that he almost spit out the porridge in his mouth. He looked at Cai Mao in panic and asked, "Did Gao Shun send troops?"He, where did he attack. "

"Nanxiang, our army still holds a few cities there, which were originally used to contain the enemy's large forces. Now Gao Shun probably doesn't want to make any mistakes in his rear, so he mobilized the main force to take these cities." Cai Mao He replied: "According to the report of the spies, Gao Shun used the main force of the army to attack, and our army's scouts were completely unable to get close to the enemy within twenty miles. He used Zhang Liao as the vanguard to open the way, and most of our army's scouts were captured and killed by Zhang Liao's subordinates. Now, The Northern Border Army should have already entered Nanxiang, and I am afraid that the battle there has already begun."

"Nanxiang, when Nanxiang is in trouble, it is my Xiangyang, and to the west of Nanxiang is Xincheng. No wonder Gao Shun always dispatched soldiers and horses to move in this area. It seems that he has set his sights on Nanxiang a long time ago." Liu Biao said to Jingzhou. The terrain is very familiar, he thought for a while and said: "The main force of our army is deployed in the southern area of ​​Nanyang, where our army has a solid line of defense.

The south of Nanxiang is the left wing of our army's defense line. If Gao Shun wants to attack Xiangyang through Nanxiang, he will still encounter the counterattack of the main force of our army. He will not be so stupid. If he wants to avoid the main force of our army, he still does it now. No, unless, unless his target is not Nanxiang, but Xincheng, if Gao Shun takes Xincheng and then raids from the west side of Xiangyang, then we will be in trouble.No, hurry up and get the map, hurry up,,,,,, "

"Don't worry, my lord. The city of Nanxiang is strong, and it will not be so easy for the enemy to break through." Cai Mao persuaded: "Our army has already stockpiled enough food, grass and weapons in the city. Although there are not many soldiers defending the city, we rely on Considering the fortification of the city, it is not so easy for the northern army to attack it.

Heh heh, everyone knows that the Northern Army is good at field battles and is unparalleled in the world in charge, but our Southern Army also has advantages.Mountain forest warfare, water warfare, siege warfare, etc. are all the strengths of our southern army. Compared with defending the city, the northern army may not be as strong as us. Therefore, the general thinks that we are still safe now. "

"You mean, you want us to wait and see what happens?" Liu Biao nodded and said, "That's right, there are only 10 people in Gao Shun's side. He wants to break through all the cities in Nanxiang. How can there be such a simple thing? There must be some conspiracy, maybe this is Gao Shun's trick, I must not be fooled, absolutely not..."

"My lord, my lord,,,,,," Kuai Liang ran in and shouted, "My lord, the northern army has sent troops, the northern army has sent troops..."

"I already know that Gao Shun's main force has already dispatched to Nanxiang." Liu Biao looked calm, completely different from the previous panic expression.

"No, it's not this." Kuai Liang gasped and said, "Gao Shun sent three thousand elites to attack the city on the southern border of Nanyang. Our army's defense line in this area was invaded. The subordinates suspected that it was Gao Shun who wanted to use the army. Prelude,,,,,, "

"Using troops on two fronts?" Liu Biao said in surprise, "Gao Shun is a rare handsome talent, I know this, but he shouldn't be so rampant that he divides his troops to attack, right? What's going on?"

"My lord, my subordinates think this is Gao Shun's suspicious strategy." Cai Mao thought for a while and replied, "Of the two groups of troops, only one is the main force. , there are many scouts, and the formation is also huge. It is obviously the main force of the enemy army. As for the enemy army attacking the southern city of Nanyang, there are only 3000 people. The enemy's camp, that is to say, the northern border army along this route did not have enough strength to do a good job of keeping secrets, and it must be because of insufficient troops.

Therefore, the final general is confident that Gao Shun has dispatched the main force to attack Nanxiang, and the three thousand elites in Nanyang are just a cover. , Do a good job of blocking the troops in Nanxiang. "

"That's very reasonable." Liu Biao nodded and said, fascinated, "But soldiers are tricky. Gao Shun has followed Gongsun Xu for many years and has experienced nearly a hundred battles, big and small. How could he only have this trick. If If Gao Shun had an army of 20, I might still believe that it was his conspiracy, but now he only has 10.

With 10 people, it is absolutely stupid to protect the grain roads and divide the troops into two groups. How can he arrange such a simple formation at a high level? Sometimes, what we see is not It must be true. Nanxiang must guard against it, and Nanyang must keep an eye on it. "

"This subordinate agrees with the lord's idea." Kuai Liang clasped his hands and replied, "The way of using soldiers is based on reality and reality. Gao Shun is an expert in using soldiers in this world. Doesn't it mean that the princes who were defeated by the Northern Border Army were all idiots.

The subordinates speculate that the northern border army attacking Nanxiang is the cover, the main force may not have moved yet, and the [-] elites in Nanyang are the vanguard of Gao Shun, he must be waiting for me to mobilize troops to defend Nanxiang When we broke through our army's defense line when we were in the countryside, our subordinates thought we should wait and see what happened. "

"Yes, don't act rashly for the time being." Liu Biao said after thinking for a while, "But you can't relax your vigilance, and send people to keep an eye on these two northern frontier armies. Whenever you have new information, immediately convey it to me..."

In fact, Cai Hao himself did not know what Gao Shun was doing, but he thought he should help Gao Shun, so that he would have the capital to claim credit in front of Gongsun Xu in the future. On the surface, Gao Shun's main force was dispatched Going to Nanxiang, Cai Mao concluded that Gao Shun was so stupid, so he thought that Nanxiang must be a feint attack, and the main force must be in Nanyang.But obviously, Liu Biao and Kuai Liang are both smart people, they have their own ideas, and now Cai Mao can't control them at all.

On the Nanxiang side, Gongsun Yuan commanded an army of [-] to accelerate forward, while the [-] northern army pretended to be an army of [-]. Zhang Liao led [-] cavalry to escort Gongsun Yuan. , Gongsun Yuan reached his first target to attack.

Next, the soldiers had an extremely difficult siege battle. As Cai Mao said, the southern soldiers are good at both attacking and defending the city. The field combat ability of the northern army is indeed unparalleled in the world. They want to fight against the southern soldiers in the south. It might be a bit difficult to compete against each other, not to mention that the Jingzhou army in Nanxiang has already made arrangements. Whether Gongsun Yuan can fight this battle well is really hard to say for the time being... ,
