Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 281

It has been almost three months since Lu Bu's two armies entered Guiyang and Lingling counties in Jingzhou under the slogan of curing typhoid fever and saving the common people.

While treating typhoid patients, they occupied the city.Because the typhoid fever was severe in the two counties, the people seldom resisted in order to save their lives.

Of course, there were those who resisted desperately, for example, some sect thieves and bandits from the two counties, and some city guards.

But in the face of Lu Bu's elite troops, and the people of the two counties wanted to survive, they resisted!It's hard to hold on.

The [-] troops led by Hao Meng, Guo Jia, Song Xian, Zhang Bozu, Zhang Zhongjing, He Yong and others.

First, they used the "paper airplane" strategy to destroy Shi'an County in Lingling County, and then went north while treating typhoid fever.Within three months, they traveled northward, captured Lingling City and Taoyang City, and finally persuaded the prefect of Lingling County to surrender and settled in Quanling City, the capital of Lingling County!
Now Zhengzheng sent troops to wipe out the thieves and bandits in Yingpu County, Yingdao County and Lingdao County in the southeast of Lingling County, and to treat typhoid patients.

the other side.

Zhang Liao, Xi Zhicai, Gao Shun, Cao Xing, Hua Tuo and other [-] troops entered Guiyang County in Jingzhou, first outwitted Zhenyang County, and then captured Hanshi County in less than three months. , Qujiang County, Guiyang County, Linwu County, Nanping County, and finally because the prefect of Guiyang County took the initiative to open the city and surrender, and took the capital of Guiyang County, Chenxian City.

So far, most of the land and most of the cities in Guiyang County and Lingling County have been controlled by Lu Bu's army.

Although typhoid fever has been brought under control, it cannot be ignored.Zhang Zhongjing, Zhang Bozu, Hua Tuo and other doctors, under the protection of the Shenbing Battalion, went deep into the two counties and villages to conduct one-by-one inspections, trying not to miss typhoid patients.

Next, it will not be easy for Zhang Liao, Hao Meng and others to completely capture the cities of the two counties.

The two northernmost cities in Lingling County were heavily guarded by Huang Gai under Sun Jian, and Leiyang City and Bianxian City in the north of Guiyang County were heavily guarded by Sun Ce and Zhu Zhi. It would be difficult to break through in a short time.

After Hao Meng and Zhang Liao contacted each other, Hao Meng still had a few sect thieves and mountain bandits in Lingling County to be wiped out, so he couldn't send all his troops to Huang Gai for a while.

Therefore, the task of probing the reality of Sun Jian's army fell on Zhang Liao's side.

At the same time, it is also because Bian County is not far from Chen County, and troops can be sent at any time.

……

Today Zhang Liao summoned the generals and the central army to discuss how to attack Bian County.

Gao Shun, Cao Xing, Xi Zhicai and some thousand generals all came to the camp.

Zhang Liao said: "Because we have to garrison the cities in Guiyang County, our army can mobilize less than 5000 troops, but they are all elite.

The purpose of calling everyone here today is to discuss how to attack Bian County and Leiyang City in the future.Before that, listen to the play staff to explain the situation of the enemy army to us. "

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xi Zhicai and said, "Staff Xi, please."

Xi Zhicai stood up. Since Hua Tuo cured his illness, Xi Zhicai's body has been getting better every day, and his whole body has become much plumper, and he is no longer as thin as before.

Having received Hua Tuo and Lu Bu's life-saving grace, and being valued by Lu Bu, Xi Zhicai has already planned to work for Lu Bu first, and the future will be discussed in the future. Before, he felt that he had to repay the life-saving grace and the kindness of knowledge.

Therefore, he will do his best to help Lu Bu.

Xi Zhicai stood up. In the entire military tent, he was the youngest and most handsome, and he was very temperamental.

He said: "According to the information collected by all parties, apart from Nanyang County, Guiyang County and Lingling County in Jingzhou, the other counties have been controlled by Sun Jian.

In other words, no matter in Lingling County or Guiyang County, there is only one enemy that prevents our army from going north, and that is Sun Jian's army. "

Xi Zhicai looked at the crowd, and continued: "At present, Sun Jian's general Huang Gai is stationed in the northernmost cities of Lingling County.

Sun Jian's general Zhu Zhi and his son Sun Ce were stationed in Leiyang City and Bian County in the north of Guiyang County.

Both Huang Gai and Zhu Zhi were two of Sun Jian's five great generals. Although his son, Sun Ce, was young, he was born with supernatural power and infinite power, and he was known as the Little Overlord of Jiangdong.

Sun Jian is now in control of the most important counties in Jingzhou. He has more than [-] troops and tens of thousands of elite troops in his hands, which should not be underestimated.

I say so much below, just want you generals to know themselves and the enemy. "

All the generals began to discuss, and someone asked: "General Zhang, how many enemy troops are there in Bian County and Leiyang?"

Zhang Liao said truthfully: "According to the information sent back by the spies, there are less than [-] garrison troops in Ben County, and about [-] garrison troops in Leiyang. At present, Zhu Zhi is guarding Ben County, and Sun Ce is in Leiyang. There are only [-] elite soldiers in the defending army of Ben County." , Leiyang also has [-] elite soldiers.

Although Sun Jian claims to have 20 soldiers and horses, in reality there are only about 15 soldiers, and only [-] to [-] elite soldiers, and half of them are used to defend against Yuan Shu in Nanyang County. It was a long time before there was no action.

In other words, our army is in the dark and the enemy is in the open. This is an advantage of our army.It is not difficult to capture Bian County by surprise. "

Everyone gained a lot of confidence at once, Gao Shun said: "If the enemy defends the city and can't get out, I'm afraid it will be a tough battle."

"That's right." Zhang Liao was worried about this, now Bian County and Leiyang can't enter or leave, even if he wants to arrange detailed work to sneak into the city, it is difficult, and he can't cooperate with the inside and outside: "However, fortunately, we have no shortage of food and grass. Time to deal with the enemy is not difficult.

Now that our army has occupied most of the cities in Guiyang County, we should take down the entire Guiyang County in one go, so that we can be worthy of the general and the dead soldiers.Therefore, this battle is inevitable.

Now, we will discuss how to capture the county seat. "

After a day of deliberation, there are three strategies for how to capture the county seat:
The best policy: Use tricks to lead the county defenders to a decisive battle outside the city!
The middle policy: cut off its food and grass, surround it without attacking!
Volume [-]: Attack!
No matter which one of the three strategies is adopted, the connection and grain road between Bian County and Leiyang City must be cut off first.

Therefore, the Shenbing Battalion and Cao Xing's archers who followed in the army secretly left the barracks after dark and headed towards the back of the county seat.

In the early morning of the next day, meals were made at the third watch, and the camp was pulled out at the fifth watch. Thirteen thousand elite soldiers marched towards the county seat, about [-] kilometers away from the county seat.

This was the first contest between Lu Bu's army and Sun Jian's army. However, Lu Bu knew Sun Jian's strength very well, while Sun Jian still couldn't figure out Lu Bu's situation.

On the third day, [-] elite troops led by Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Xi Zhicai and others appeared outside the city of Bian County in a mighty manner, causing panic in the city.

Zhu Zhi on the city wall looked solemnly at the army that appeared outside the city, and it was also an army that they hadn't figured out how it appeared and what it came from.

Originally, they thought that the sect thieves and bandits from the two counties formed an alliance, otherwise how could they continue to attack the city and pull out the stronghold.

However, this mysterious army also has a team of doctors who can cure typhoid fever, which allowed Sun Jian and others to rule out the previous speculation.

Due to the limited information about this mysterious army and the severe typhoid fever in the two counties, Sun Jian did not send troops for a long time.

Zhu Zhi saw the enemy's military flags outside the city, with the word "Lv" on them, and some with the word "Zhang".The team is rigorous and orderly, with high morale.

"This..." Zhu Zhi was surprised: "It's clearly a regular army, and it's an elite army. Where did it come from, Jiaozhou?"

He didn't dare to be careless, and ordered left and right: "Pass down my general order, keep the city and don't come out, and those who violate it will be killed without mercy! In addition, arrange for someone to inform the eldest son Sun Ce of Leiyang and the lord of the situation here, the sooner the better. change."
