Three Kingdoms: Marry Sun Shangxiang at the beginning

Chapter 293 The Prelude to the Decisive Battle!Cao Cao lays an ambush to Zhao Yun

"Report... Xu Chu's [-] cavalry on the left have already entered Chenliu County, and are now fighting General Zhang Fei."

"Third Uncle uses infantry to fight against cavalry. Although most of the soldiers under his command are hundred-forged weapons made by the Guangang method, they can't take advantage. Let him not be reckless. If he is defeated by Xu Chu, it will be ridiculous." Liu Feng said alone. Sitting in the Prince's Mansion in Xuchang.

At this moment, his wife and family members had been sent back to Jiangling, and only he and the two princesses from the Yamatai kingdom were left in the huge Prince's Mansion, not even those maids whom Liu Feng liked on weekdays.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid that what you say will irritate the three generals even more." Xue Zong smiled wryly, and picked up a booklet, "At present, the barbed wire produced by our army has been spread on the front line of Liang Guo, enough to cover the three fronts. In the county, the remaining area, Xu Shu, the governor, has already set up an eight-door golden lock formation. This formation is astonishingly powerful and extremely strong in defense. "

"What about Pei County?" Liu Feng asked quietly.

"Pei County and Feng County to the north of Pei County are now meat grinders."

"Cao Hong, who originally attacked Pengcheng County, met General Hao Zhao. He knew that he would not be able to attack Rencheng County in a short time, so he turned to Peixian County."

"Xiahoushang in the north also led his cavalry to attack Feng County."

"So, two groups of cavalry attacked, no less than [-]. The [-] cavalry of General Pang De of our army are all in Liang County, and only the [-] Xiliang cavalry under the command of General Ma Chao are guarding here."

"[-] against [-], I'm afraid it will be a battle to the death."

Liu Feng tapped the stone table with one hand, "That's not right, Jingwen."

"What's wrong?"

"Where is Zhao Zilong?"

"It should be Mr. Yuanzhi's central army, flanking the eight-door golden lock formation in Liang County."

Liu Feng shook his head, "Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army has already been killed, at the foot of Mount Tai, killing them indiscriminately."

"Mr. Yuanzhi, I won't leave Uncle Zilong behind."

"Then your Highness means..."

Liu Feng pointed to the three-county defense line in front of Cao Cao.

Du Xi, Yang Fa, and Man Chong, among the three, Yang Fa is the worst at fighting.

However, Cao Cao chose to hand over Jiyin County in the middle to him to guard, Dong County to Du Xi, and Rencheng County to Man Chong.

"Isn't this a game he deliberately set up?"

"In my opinion, the granary Cao Cao set up should be in Jiyin County."

Xue Zong immediately ordered someone to present a simple six-county sand table.

Lined up in the north, from west to east, are Dongjun, Jiyin, and Rencheng.

Lined up in the south, from west to east, are Chenliu County, Liang County, and Pei County.

"Jiyin County governs the next eleven counties. Most of the county towns are small and small. Only Dingtao, the county seat, is high and surrounded by rivers, and is very close to the front line. Food and grass can be sent to the front three counties at any time."

"But they are cavalry. It is impossible to stop and bury the pot to make food. They waste too much time. Their tactics are to attack the counties in the Central Plains. If Dingtao hoards Cao's army food and grass, it will definitely be detected by our army's hidden guards , because they need to make dry biscuits, shochu and other food that can be added to the meal on horseback."

"Besides, just now Jingwen you said that this place is very close to the front line."

"It's just too close."

Liu Feng pointed to the three counties under his command.

"Although there are few cavalry in our army, each one is elite. They dared to blatantly set up the food and grass camp in Dingtao, which is only forty or fifty miles away from the front line. Our cavalry can kill them in more than an hour."

"Therefore, it is impossible for Cao Cao's food and grass camp to be set up in Dingtao."

"But... other counties can't accommodate the food and grass needed by 28 cavalry, and they can't be set up too far away. If we set up a village on the plain, it would be too easy for our army to find out and attack us..."

"Is it possible that it is in Sanyang County?"

"Ok?"

Xue Zong woke up suddenly, and moved fifty miles east along Dingtao, "This is... Changyi, the prefecture of Shanyang County?"

"However, Changyi is not far from Bo County in the northwest of our army's Liang Commandery, at most only more than 60 miles away. How dare Cao Cao..."

Xue Zong immediately observed the terrain of Changyi.

"The lower reaches of the Weihe River have a river to the north and a river to the south. It is the turn of spring and summer. If a heavy rain sweeps across the Central Plains, the enemy army only needs to build embankments and dams in the upper reaches to cause the roaring mountain torrents to attack our cavalry."

"In this way, our army will undoubtedly be defeated."

Liu Feng narrowed his eyes, "But this big food and grass camp, what if it's real?"

"real……"

Xue Zong took two steps, "Then as long as our army successfully burns down this large camp of grain and grass, Cao Cao's cavalry will have no food to use. The only option is to withdraw."

Liu Feng narrowed his eyes, "Where is Coke going, there are still [-] cavalry."

"Since Le Jin is just a cover, not a real ultimate move against our army, then Cao Cao vowed to break through the defense lines of our three counties and send all the troops to the vicinity of Xuchang, so that our army's hearts will be shaken."

Having said that, Liu Feng pointed to Changyi.

"Mr. Yuan Zhi's eight-door golden lock formation is dominated by [-] infantry, with Zhao Yun's [-] white horse followers on the two wings, and Pound's [-] Western Qiang cavalry."

"If a wing is missing, Cao Jun will have an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"What's more, although the tiger and leopard riders are gone, Cao Jun's three-layer heavy armor forging method is still there. Cao Cao's battle is desperate."

"For sure, he will equip a large amount of this armor."

"Used to break our army formation."

"Send an order to order Pang De to meet Zhao Yun's army. In addition, let our hidden guards contact Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army to find out the whereabouts of Le Jin's [-] cavalry."

"Here."

-

Sanyang County, Changyi.

Trekking through mountains and rivers, Zhao Yun took [-] white horse volunteers and arrived outside Changyi City on the second day after the station opened quietly.

"General, now the guards in the city are Deng Zhan and Li Zheng."

"Deng Zhan is good at grabbing swords with bare hands, and he is a general."

"As for Li Zheng, he is Cao Cao's general Li Diancong, the candidate for the fifth son."

"There are about 200 defenders in the city, most of whom are cavalry. Our army's secret guards have observed the city for three days. There are at least a few thousand grain trucks that are transported out every day. They are all transported to the front lines of the three counties. The grain and grass hoarded here should be No less than [-] million stones."

"Besides, the hidden guards in the city can still hear a lot of cattle and sheep screaming, and look at the imprints of sheep's hoofs and cow's hoofs that have not disappeared outside the north city gate."

"Before the war started, at least 50 cattle and sheep should have been sent into Changyi City."

"Nowadays, there is often blood flowing down the grain trucks every day. It should be beef and mutton slaughtered on the spot."

Zhao Yun narrowed his eyes, "Got it."

"General, when will our army attack?"

The corners of Zhao Yun's mouth were slightly drawn, "From time to time, the south city gate will be opened to transport food and grass outside. Our army is going to attack, just seize the opportunity when the city gate is wide open, but Cao Cao puts a city with a large amount of food and grass in front of our army. , I suspect that this is Cao Cao's plan to ambush."
