Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 480 Yishui Fortification
"My lord, we still have 20 troops in the south of Youzhou, plus 50 troops from Jizhou, [-] troops from Bingzhou, and [-] troops from northern Qingzhou. Our army can use a total of [-] troops. You may not be afraid. That fellow Liu Wei!"

After Yan Liang assembled the soldiers and horses near Jizhou City, he came to Yuan Shao's General's Mansion and said to Yuan Shao.

"50, um, that's a lot!"

Yuan Shao nodded. He was very satisfied that he could gather such an army after several defeats.

And now Tian Feng beside Yuan Shao suddenly spoke.

I saw Tian Feng said: "My lord, don't you hear that the soldiers are not many, but fine, and the generals are not brave but strategic!"

After Tian Feng finished speaking, before Yuan Shao could open his mouth, Yan Liang on the side retorted: "Master Tian's words are wrong. Han Xin said that if you use troops, the more the better, our army has 50, why are we afraid of Liu Wei's 20 horses? I heard that Liu Wei’s subordinates are all recruits! I’d be afraid of elite soldiers in a hundred battles, but how could I be afraid of a group of recruits!”

When Yan Liang spoke, his words were full of disdain, as if he had forgotten all the things he had failed in Liu Wei's hands before.

"General Yan, haven't you heard the saying that arrogant soldiers are bound to be defeated? You despise Liu Wei so much, do you think you are more powerful than all the princes in the world combined?"

Seeing Yan Liang being so arrogant, Tian Feng couldn't help scolding him angrily.

Seeing Tian Feng reprimanding him, Yan Liang quit immediately and wanted to fight back against Tian Feng.

On the other hand, Yuan Shao was a little annoyed, waved his hand, and reprimanded the two of them: "Why are you arguing here? Whether Liu Wei is easy to deal with can only be known on the battlefield, and you can know whether Liu Wei is strong or not if you are arguing here. ?"

After several battles with Liu Wei, Yuan Shao also has a great understanding of Liu Wei's strength, and he definitely dare not underestimate Liu Wei, and Yuan Shao also sees it, Liu Wei is pregnant, no matter what preparations he makes , It's useless, it's better to go to the battlefield first, see how Liu Wei deals with himself, and think of a way.

Yuan Shao's approach is to respond to all changes with the same. Only in this way can he defeat Liu Wei.

"Here!"

Both Tian Feng and Yan Liang glanced at Yuan Shao in surprise.

Yan Liang was surprised that this time he flattered Yuan Shao, saying that the Jizhou army might not be inferior to the Liaozhou army, but Yuan Shao didn't respond.

Tian Feng was surprised that Yuan Shao could say such a thing.

When Yuan Shao saw these two guys looking straight at him, he said angrily: "What the hell are you looking at me for? Are the soldiers and horses in order? The food and grass and the route for transporting the food and grass are planned out." Yet?"

"not yet!"

Yan Liang and Tian Feng replied in embarrassment.

"Then why are you still standing here? What are you waiting for me to do? Hurry up!"

Yuan Shao reprimanded.

"Here!"

Both Yan Liang and Tian Feng hurried out to work.

After the two walked out, Yuan Shao rubbed his hands, and then sighed in a low voice: "I don't know how this battle will be! It's okay if I lose, but it's just a pain for Tan'er and the others!"

Yuan Shao sighed, shook his head, and then lowered his head to meditate again.

In the south of Youzhou, in Lecheng County.

"General, General Gao Gan has an order to evacuate Lecheng County, retreat to Yi County and wait for the arrival of the Lord's army!"

After a while, the general of Lecheng County shouted in the barracks: "The whole army retreats!"

Tens of thousands of troops withdrew from Lecheng County and marched towards Yi County, leaving only an empty city in Lecheng County.

And the guard of Yi County is none other than Yuan Shao's nephew and senior cadre.

"General, yesterday our troops in southern Youzhou vaguely withdrew to Yi County, and now we have gathered almost 10 people here!"

"Ok!"

Gao Gan looked at the military camps stretching for dozens of miles outside the city, and sighed: "The war has started again, and I don't know when it will end!"

"Report! General, the lord has an order to set up a military camp next to Yishui, enough for 50 troops to camp!"

A messenger ran to the side of Gao Gan and said.

"I see!"

Gao Gan waved his hand at the messenger, and then ordered a hundred thousand troops to build a barracks next to Yishui.

At the same time, Yan Liang and Wen Chou led one hundred thousand god cavalry to advance from Jizhou to Yi County. Yuan Shao waited for the army from all over the country to arrive before setting off.

"General, report from the front of the horse. Yuan Benchu ​​ordered the high-ranking officials to set up a military camp on the opposite bank of Yishui. The military camp stretches for hundreds of miles!"

As the vanguard of the Liaozhou Army, Lü Bu had occupied Lecheng County at this time and was currently recuperating in Lecheng County.

"Yi Shui?"

Lu Bu frowned slightly, and then asked Chen Gong, "Gongtai, why did Yuan Benchu ​​set up a military camp in Yishui?"

Chen Gong was also a little puzzled and said: "I am also very puzzled about this. It would be reasonable if Yuan Shao wanted to stop our army on the other side of the river, but this year's drought, the water depth of Yishui is less than half a meter, even if we don't build a pontoon bridge The army can also cross the river, I really can't think of what he Yuan Shao is going to do!"

Seeing that Chen Gong couldn't explain why, Lu Bu said to a soldier in the barracks, "Spread out the map!"

After the sergeant opened the map, Lu Bula led Chen Gong to the side of the map, and then looked at it.

After Chen Gong looked at it for a while, he loosened his frown and said with a smile: "Hahahaha, so it is!"

But Lu Bu still didn't understand, so he asked, "Why are Gongtai laughing?"

Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu and replied, "Feng Xian, do you know that King Liao gave Yuan Shao a taste of the power of artillery before?"

"I know this. When Yuan Shao fought Zi Yan before, he was almost unable to lift his head when he was bombarded by Zi Yan, but what does this have to do with Yuan Shao's decision to fight in Yishui?"

Lu Bu was still puzzled.

"Hehe, Fengxian, as far as I know, artillery is most powerful in small places, but not so powerful in open plains, and the banks of Yishui are plains. Yuan Shao arranged the decisive battle here. The purpose is to prevent the prince's artillery from showing off!"

Chen Gong explained the man in the dream, and Lu Bu suddenly realized, "I don't want Yuan Benchu ​​to be so afraid of artillery!"

"Hehe, it can't be said that Yuan Shao is timid, but I heard that Liao King's cannon can blast a hole the size of a washbasin in the city gate, which shows how powerful the cannon is!"

When Chen Gong mentioned the artillery, his face was also full of shock.

After hearing Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu laughed and said, "I'm afraid Yuan Shao's plan will come to nothing this time, he probably doesn't know that we didn't bring cannons with us this time!"

"Well, that's exactly the case. We shouldn't underestimate Yuan Shao. We knew that Yuan Shao had 50 troops under his command, but we only have 20 troops!"
