Three Kingdoms: Marry Sun Shangxiang at the beginning

Chapter 448 Take five tons of shells and play a lullaby for the superintendent

"Your Majesty, there is an inner wall in the city. Our army rushed forward rashly and was ambushed. Four to five thousand soldiers were lost. Even General Liao Hua was seriously injured."

"Come back, let Zhang Zhongjing go and show Liao Yuanjian."

"Here."

Liu Feng sat on the top of the hill, staring at the opposite inner wall.

"This Sima Yi moved very quickly. It will take at least half a year to build a smaller inner wall inside the old city wall."

"I heard from the dark guard just now that the construction of this inner wall began half a year ago, after the Battle of Mount Tai."

"Why didn't you report?" Liu Feng frowned slightly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the secret guards of the four states were killed before, and the commander of Huan Yi resigned, so...the handover may have been negligent." Xue Zong replied with a worried face.

"That's not a reason."

"Because of a negligence of the hidden guard, I almost lost one of the heroes, and even killed or injured 5000 people."

"The hidden guards who counted the matter, and those who are alive, will be sent to the army."

"Those who dereliction of duty are not qualified to serve in my secret guards."

"Here." Xue Zong's heart sank. After the change of the secret guards of the four states, His Majesty's requirements for the secret guards became more and more strict.

When he did things, he also became a little bit on eggshells, uneasy.

"Your Majesty, General Zhang Bao asks for instructions, should we continue to bombard the inner city wall indiscriminately?" Not far away, the horse came quickly.

"Keep going, my craftsman's workshop can produce tens of thousands of catties of black powder every day. Even if it lasts for a year or so, my supply of fire oil and shells will not be cut off. I want to see him, Sima Yi." , can have several inner city walls."

"Here."

"Boom boom boom..."

For a while, the sound of artillery fire on the top of the city rang out again.

"Your Majesty, report from the hidden guards in the city..." Not long after, Xue Zong came over again.

"Report what?"

"Sima Yi slept soundly in the City Lord's Mansion."

"Oh?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows, "So calm, isn't Sima Yi worried that I will take Dongzhou City away while he is sleeping soundly?"

"Your Majesty thinks that Sima Yi is bluffing?" As they marched northward, the two armies converged, and Fazheng also came to accompany Liu Feng.

"Most likely a bluff."

"Because I can't find any place where Sima Yi can break the situation."

"If he has [-] cavalry under his command, he might have already left the city to fight with me at this moment."

"Regardless of victory or defeat, it's just because of the bad breath in front of the city gate just now, he needs to vent one or two."

"Unfortunately, now that the Great Wall's defenses have been blocked, it is impossible for an iron cavalry to cross the Great Wall and go south to help Sima Yi."

"Besides, now that Cao Wei is Guo Zhao, a mere woman is in charge of the house, how can any reinforcements be dispatched?"

"Now that Lu Xun is playing well in Liaodong County, I'm afraid that Zhang Ji, who has just been transferred to the governor of Liaozhou, will also feel a headache."

With that said, Liu Feng stood up from the soft couch.

"Xiaozhi, if you were Sima Yi, what are you thinking right now?"

"General Huang has now captured the camp stretching between the two camps."

"I am leading an army to attack Dongpingshu City in the east. The number of defenders in this city is several thousand at most. In my opinion, Sima Yi may have given His Majesty an illusion."

"Oh?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows, "What illusion."

"He wants His Majesty to firmly believe that he will stay here and fight His Majesty to the death."

Liu Feng paced back and forth, "You mean, he wants to escape?"

"good."

"He doesn't have a horse, so how can he break through the defense line of the [-] Great Xia Dragon Cavalry Army under my command?"

"I don't know about this matter."

"I only know that just now when His Majesty asked, the secret guard sent me a booklet."

"What booklet?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is recorded in the booklet that since last year, when Cao Cao was here, there were more than 200 million people who conquered the captives of Yi kingdoms in eastern Liaodong. Canals were built, and in addition, the channel of the Haihe River was also widened, and now the tributaries are all over the south of Youzhou, with Ji County as its loyalty, there are more than twenty tributaries."

"If the minister is Sima Yi, he only needs to withdraw to the north of the Haihe River when the fierce battle is in full swing, and occupy a favorable location, which is enough to fight a protracted war with our army."

"A protracted war?" Liu Feng squinted his eyes, "Sima Yi has a good plan, but why should I fight a protracted war with him?"

"Even if he has more than 20 rivers, I have the cooperation of cannons and warships to push them across one by one."

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, our army will be delayed for at least half a year in the Youzhou battlefield. If this is the case, Cao Wei's Northern Expedition Ding Ling's army may have already succeeded."

"In addition, the talents in the Cao-Wei fault have probably already been recruited by imitating the method of our military's imperial examination system."

"In this way, if our army continues to fight against Cao Wei, I'm afraid it will cost more manpower, material and financial resources."

Liu Feng stroked his beard with one hand, "The law corrects what you mean?"

"Your Majesty, please dispatch the Liaodong Navy to storm the waters of the Haihe River."

"Before Sima Yi's army retreats to the north, occupy the waters of the Haihe River first, and destroy the foundation of his last fortress."

"Besides, with the momentum of besieging Handan and encircling Dongzhou City, Sima Yi will never be given a chance to escape."

"In this way, Sima Yi will be trapped for three to two months, just like Xia Houshang in Handan City, he can only be captured without a fight."

Liu Feng suddenly sat on the soft couch, "Then why didn't Xiaozhi withdraw first? Our army pretended not to know, but set up an ambush in the north. We can set up a few more routes. In this way, Sima Yi can take the initiative to take the bait."

Fazheng frowned slightly, "Reporting to Your Majesty, when I came, several military advisers pointed out my minister."

"Your Majesty has already won the battle for hegemony."

"In order to prevent the situation in Youzhou from changing again, the people will suffer too much."

"The battle to destroy Wei is best done quickly."

"Soldiers make dangerous moves, and it is possible to let go of Sima Yi's decision-making. No matter what, I can't do it."

Liu Feng pointed at him with a smile, "If you don't dare to make dangerous moves, then you are not filial."

Liu Feng looked into the city.

"Fazheng, you said that if I wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, what would be the first step?"

Fazheng smiled wryly, "Of course I pretended not to know anything."

"And, continue to storm Dongzhou City."

"good."

Liu Feng turned to look at the messenger, "Go, tell Zhang Bao."

"Take five tons of shells and play a lullaby to the superintendent."

"Here."

The scouts rode away quickly, and soon conveyed the oral order to Zhang Bao's ears.
