Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 245
The two sides have been deadlocked for five or six days.

Although the friction is constant, it has been confined to a small area.Although Yuan Jun neither broke the city nor made any progress, but the Heavenly Army mobilized troops and horses every day, but there was still loud thunder and little rain, and they never provoked a bigger battle.

Wen Chou couldn't hold back anymore.

Even if he could afford to wait, the military rations brought from Linzi couldn't be wasted day by day like this.

He boarded the watchtower again, staring at the city ahead, lost in thought.

The rain is getting weaker and lighter, the dark clouds above the head have dispersed a lot, and when the daylight is bright, the outline of Kaiyang is much clearer.

Although the distance is not close, Wen Chou is also very comparable to others. With his extraordinary eyesight, he can still see the scenery in the distance.

Surrounded by green mountains and fields, slanting rain is densely woven, and the city wall is like a belt.There are several slender and towering protrusions in the city, which are expected to be temporary enemy towers and high platforms.

Several rivers meander like lines and flow past the city.

Farther away, you can see the shadows of mountains on the west side of the wilderness.

Xuzhou is indeed a good place.

Thinking of his own Jizhou, Wen Chou secretly compared it in his heart.

In terms of population abundance, Xuzhou is inferior to Jizhou, the largest state in the world, but it is not far behind.

Compared with Qingzhou, where people's livelihood is withered, it is much better.

What's even more rare is that this is Xuzhou not long after Cao Cao's massacre.

How could a group of Yellow Turban bandits be qualified to occupy such a treasure land?
Thinking of this, Wen Chou became more and more jealous.

At this moment, what is on my mind is not only about killing that great enemy whom I have never met, but what should I do after breaking the city?
I can't really be busy in February and March, can I?
It is possible to take advantage of the trend!

Although Jizhou and Xuzhou are still separated by Qingzhou and Yanzhou, in Wen Chou's mind, Cao Cao is so incompetent, not to mention Yanzhou's injustice, Qingzhou also caused a lot of turmoil, what do you do for him?

It's better to let the lord send someone to take care of it.

One of the current governors of Qingzhou belongs to Yuan Shao's camp. Once they are connected, they will be connected with Langya County.

But that's all for later.

The first thing to do is to kill Wang Zheng and his Yellow Turban bandits!

Thinking of Wang Zheng, Wen Chou was always a little confused.

Logically speaking, this kid is bold and reckless, young and energetic, so why hasn't he made any moves so far?
I have only 1 horses now, and more than half of them are new recruits.

A gust of cool wind blew the drizzle, and it slanted down the watchtower, staining him all over.

Small raindrops slid down the iron armor, his face and beard were wet, and he looked more and more rugged, like a lone wolf.

He didn't realize it, he just concentrated on guessing the other party's mind.

The yellow turban bandits who came to attack the camp last night, as well as the bandits who left the city, were not many in number.
Is this spreading suspicion?
If you deploy suspicious soldiers, it is nothing more than covering up their true intentions, or making it difficult for the opponent to distinguish the truth from the truth.

Assuming that the intention of the yellow turban thieves is to cover up, then what exactly are they trying to cover up?
Although the defenders of the city shouldn't take the initiative to give up the geographical advantages, the geographical advantages of Kaiyang City are average, let alone what are the yellow scarves?
Despicable thief!

The yellow turban bandits in Xuzhou have long been pacified by Tao Qian, and they have no other allies, so what's the point of being trapped here?
If you wait for other princes to come, wouldn't you just sit and wait for death?
According to common sense, they should be in a hurry to fight back and rush to clear the siege!
Could it be
Wen Chou's mind suddenly flashed, is it delaying time?

The opponent is the defender, and the reason why he has not attacked for a long time is not because of the change of character, but because
They are already at a disadvantage!

It's not that you don't want to take the initiative to attack, but that you are stretched and powerless!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was such a possibility, Wen Chou's breathing became a little heavy, he urgently called for his soldiers, and immediately returned to the commander's account, and at the same time summoned all the generals.

After hearing Wen Chou's conjecture, everyone lowered their heads and thought, and they all felt that it was reasonable. The deputy general first said: "The general means that there are not many bandits in Kaiyang now? Sending troops out of the city so many times is a plan for flying generals?"

There is such a story in "Historical Records. Biography of General Li", which can be regarded as the Western Han version of the empty city plan.

The Xiongnu invaded Shangjun on a large scale, and the emperor sent an eunuch to study military affairs with Li Guang to fight against the Xiongnu.The eunuch led dozens of cavalry and galloped on horseback. When they met three Huns, they fought with them. The three Huns turned around and shot arrows, wounding the eunuch and almost killing his cavalry.The eunuch escaped back to Li Guang by chance.

Li Guang couldn't sit idly by when the emperor's close ministers were injured, so he took a hundred cavalrymen to chase the three Huns for convenience. In the end, Li Guang shot and killed two of them himself, and captured one alive.

But on the way back, they met thousands of Hun cavalry. In the wilderness, they were all cavalry. The enemy was ten times stronger than their own. They would definitely not be able to fight. Li Guang's hundred cavalry were also terrified and wanted to return to Ma Fei run away.Li Guang said: "Our army is tens of miles away from here. According to the current situation, it is too late to ask for help, and it may not be possible to run away. Moreover, as long as we run, the Huns will definitely come to chase and shoot. We will immediately If all of them were killed, if we stay here, the Xiongnu will be suspicious, thinking that we are here to lure the enemy to go deep, but they may not attack us."

Not only did they not retreat, but they asked the whole army to advance, and stopped when they were about two miles away from the Xiongnu's position, and ordered all the soldiers to dismount and even take off their saddles.

The cavalry were puzzled: "There are so many enemies and they are so close, what should we do if there is an emergency?"

Li Guang said: "Those enemies originally thought that we would run away, but now we all take off our saddles to express that we will not flee. This will make them more firmly believe that we are the soldiers who lure the enemy."

As expected, the Xiongnu cavalry thought that there must be a large army ambushing the Han army, so instead of pursuing them, they turned around and ran away.

"exactly!"

Wen Chou stood up, paced around, clapped his hands and grinned grinningly: "I see that Wang Zheng is very different from others. When he first got into trouble, he used "Zhang Jiao's reincarnation" to gather people together, and then thousands of people dared to Attack Zhao County, gather bandits from all over the world and go down to Linzi, and in the midst of winter, engulf hundreds of thousands of refugees across the state to walk on the ice, go deep into Xuzhou, and attack Kaiyang by surprise. It is worth mentioning that it is bright and bright, far better than other thieves."

"My army arrived suddenly, and it would be of great disadvantage to him to surround him without attacking him. It stands to reason that this son would not be willing to be trapped."

After summing up Wang Zheng's understanding, Wen Chou said decisively: "He sent several groups of troops to disperse them all around, what did he do?"

"Could it be that they abandoned the city and fled to cover the main force's withdrawal?" the deputy general guessed.

"Impossible!" While categorically denying it, Wen Chou tilted his head and asked with a smile, "This yellow scarf bandit is punishable by everyone. Where can he escape from Kaiyang?"

What Wen Chou said made sense, the lieutenant put aside his own judgment for now, and asked, "What does the general think?"

"Whether it's attacking the camp, driving my sentry away, or dividing the troops around, the yellow turban bandits have only one purpose, and that is to delay time!"

"To show the enemy weak is to be a proud soldier, but to show the enemy strong is to deceive the enemy!"

Wen Chou glanced at the people in the tent, and snorted coldly: "It must be that our army's intelligence collection is incomplete. Before coming to Kaiyang, the yellow scarf bandits have already left the city with their main force to attack other places. At this time, the city is empty!"

"Fortunately, at the right time, my army descended from the sky and surrounded Kaiyang completely. The thieves were in a dilemma, so they had to put on airs in an attempt to delay the return of the reinforcements!"

Having said that, he let out a sneer, as if extremely contemptuous:

"What a prick, I almost deceived Nai Gong!"

Wen Chou made a detailed analysis: "I expect the Kaiyang Yellow Scarves to have no more than a few thousand people at this time, and thousands of people in the river. In the past few days, they have repeatedly sent people out of the city and settled in the wild, forming a siege, which is making our army fearful. Don't dare to attack!"

"It's just a cocoon. He already has a small number of soldiers, but he is scattered around like this. In this way, he stayed behind in the city. He is as strong as the sky, more than 1000 people!"

"Kaiyang, Xiaochenger, except for a moat that is in the way, there is nothing to support." Wen Chou stood up and said with a grinning smile: "Once you cross the river, a thousand yellow scarf bandits, how majestic I, Jizhou Erlang, can be wiped out!"

"How to cross the river?" The lieutenant general asked again: "Our army is rushing all the way from Yunting, and we don't have many siege equipment. Should we order people to make it now?"

"The war opportunity is fleeting, how can we waste time?" Wen Chou waved his hand, then looked at Yan Chu and said, "Mr. Yan, how did the thieves overcome the moat when they attacked Linzi?"

Hearing Wen Chou's question, Yan Chu had an ominous omen in his heart, forced a dry laugh, and replied, "I told you, General, that you first drove the refugees, filled them with earth, and then crossed the river and then built slopes, finally breaking through Linzi. At the head of the city, then enter the city."

"It's a good idea." Wen Chou nodded: "The Kaiyang wall is low, so there is no need to build slopes, which saves effort."

"But we have no refugees." The deputy general was about to speak, but he suddenly realized that he laughed first.

"There are no refugees, there are new recruits." Wen Chou chuckled, "I was supposed to help the people of Xuzhou fight the bandits, but Tao Qian, an old man, just watched from the sidelines instead?"

"Then you can't blame this general. If you want to blame these mobs, you can blame their state shepherd for being cowardly and incompetent."

Hearing this, except for Yan Chu, the rest of the people didn't react. This is a common thing, not surprising.

In troubled times, no matter the princes or generals, they all know that their own army is the biggest reliance. When attacking a city, they are rarely willing to let their elites be wasted in front of those equipment and geographical advantage.

During Wen Chou's journey, all the counties along the way have recruited strong men, and everyone knew his purpose in advance.

"General." The deputy general asked again, "Since that's the case, when will we attack the city?"

"It should be sooner rather than later." Wen Chou snorted, "Who knows when the rest of the thieves will return, they have spent five or six days on their own, and we can't wait any longer."

"Tomorrow!"

As she said that, she seemed to think of something, but she forgot to laugh at Yan Chu and said:
"Mr. Yan, I promised you what I promised, so I naturally remember that after the city was broken, the king thief bowed his head, and the pair of sisters will naturally return to Zhao."

"However, now in the military tent, what rewards are given only depends on merit, not family background."

"It can make you, the young master of this family, never forget. This pair of sisters must also have outstanding looks. If the gift from the boudoir is rewarded for nothing, it is inevitable that the soldiers will not be convinced."

All I want now is to stay as far away as possible from you, the God of Plague!

It's just that Yan Chu begged Wen Chou several times but never agreed, and Yan Chu didn't bother to make fun of himself anymore, so he just smiled awkwardly:
"The general will reward the meritorious soldiers, and I have no objection."

"That's not right." Wen Chou smiled grimly: "Then, wouldn't the general be a dishonest person?"

"Well, come tomorrow to supervise these new recruits. If you can break the city, it will be considered a great achievement, and it will be a matter of course."

what?
Yan Chu was stunned for a moment, and just about to refuse, he finally didn't dare to speak out against the cold eyes that shot at him.
