The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 491 Dilemma
Liu Xiao glanced at Yue Fei appreciatively. Yue Fei had put in a lot of hard work when he smashed the Iron Buddha Tu and the Kidnapped Horse. , Mazha knife is definitely a sharp weapon for breaking kidnappers!
"Dian Wei!"

Liu Xiao shouted: "Get the blueprints of the hooked sickle gun and the Mazha knife from Pengju later, and gather the blacksmiths in Yecheng to build them with all their strength. You will be given seven days to make three thousand hooked sickle guns and three thousand Mazha knives. !"

Dian Wei's face darkened, and he muttered: "Master, seven days, even seventeen days, may not be enough. Are there so many blacksmiths in Ye City?"

Xun Yu smiled and said, "General Dianwei, don't worry, just the year before last, we discovered an iron mine in the northeast of Yecheng. In less than two years, dozens of blast furnaces have been built in this iron mine, and at least thousands of craftsmen have built it. There are not a few skilled craftsmen among them who are smelting iron day and night. In addition to the blacksmith shop in Yecheng, there is no guarantee in seven days. Within ten days, it is not a problem to make [-] hooked sickle guns and [-] hemp knives."

Liu Xiao went on to say: "Since this is the case, Wen Ruo will be responsible for supervising the manufacture of weapons. The more the better! Pengju, this battle against Temujin is extraordinary. Only when you and I go together can we be sure of defeating the enemy. "Bo Yue, you and Xue Rengui led [-] troops and went north to Changshan County to assist the prime minister in resisting the Tartars in the north; On the third day, go to Shangjun first, remember, don’t fight carelessly, wait for me to arrive, and then make any calculations. You only need to occupy the favorable terrain and cooperate with Cao Cao to defend Shangjun; Let me command [-] elite soldiers and set off for Shangjun, and the main force of more than [-] cavalry is enough to defeat Temujin!"

Liu Xiao quickly reorganized his troops in Yecheng and prepared to enter Bingzhou.Bingzhou, Shangjun, but Temujin's army has already surrounded Shangjun. Shangjun has a sparse population and the city is not as strong as Taiyuan City. It is indeed not an easy task to defend Shangjun.

Temujin led the army under his command to encircle Shangjun on three sides, leaving only one side. The so-called encirclement lacks one, and that's it. In that case, it will only suddenly increase the casualties, which will not be beneficial to the war.

Temujin was well-versed in the art of war, so he naturally understood this truth. Leaving Nancheng was tantamount to leaving a glimmer of life for Cao Cao. Killing is enough. From Taiyuan to Shangjun, Cao Jun has already lost a lot of troops. If the fight continues like this, there will be Chenliu and other counties until Xudu. Cao Jun may not have many troops to use.

A good fighter is a soldier who surrenders without fighting.

Cao Cao naturally knew Temujin's intentions, but he could no longer retreat. If he retreated, he would have to enter Chenliu. A Chenliu County has a population of hundreds of thousands, which can almost equal the population of three Shangjuns, and is larger than the population of the Taiyuan Army. More or less, once the Tatars are allowed to invade, hundreds of thousands of people will really suffer. Even if Temujin's cavalry is driven back outside the Great Wall, the Central Plains will also suffer heavy losses.

Guard Shangjun to the death, waiting for Liu Xiao's reinforcements to arrive.

Cao Cao believed that Liu Xiao would not let him wait for too long. Once Liu Xiao's reinforcements arrived, it would not be impossible for the two families to work together to defeat Temujin.

However, before Hua Xin went to Yecheng, news of Murong Ke's defeat had already reached Temujin's camp before he came back.

After all, there was not much distance from Yecheng to Shangjun. Murong Ke was defeated and killed, and Jin Wushu sent a messenger to report to Temujin.

"What, Murong Ke was beheaded by Liu Xiao, and the [-] army was defeated?"

Temujin was startled and angry, and jumped up from the ground. You must know that Murong Ke and Jin Wushu Jebe led [-] fine cavalry, which is the main force of the desert. Half of the main cavalry under his command were actually killed by Liu Xiao was defeated, and even the number one champion Murong Ke was killed. Obviously, such a loss made Temujin no longer feel a headache, but a pain all over his body!

"Khan, Liu Xiao beheaded General Murong. The [-] troops could not resist Liu Xiao's front and back attacks. General Jin Wushu and General Jebe fought desperately to break out of the encirclement. After a day of hard work, they broke out of the encirclement. Nearly half of the army was killed. There are only [-] defeated soldiers left, and even General Jebe was injured..."

Temu Zhenqi was furious, 2 troops, only more than [-] people left, the vitality was seriously injured, the real vitality was seriously injured, since he started the incident, he had never suffered a disastrous defeat, even if he was defeated by gossip In the formation map, there is no such a miserable loss!

"Liu Xiao, Liu Xiao! I am at odds with you!"

Temujin kept roaring, and all the generals in the tent were silent. This time, the profuse Khan was really angry, the thunderous anger, the tragic death of his beloved general, and the heavy casualties of the army. Such a shameful humiliation, how can it be endured? up?

"Come here, send an order immediately, give up attacking Shangjun, and the army will immediately advance eastward. I will personally lead the army to fight Liu Xiao to the death and take Yecheng!"

Temujin roared angrily.

"Khan, Khan calm down..."

Mu Huali on the side quickly said, "Now that Jin Wushu and Zhebie have led the defeated troops to retreat to Changshan County, relying on our [-] to [-] troops to storm Yecheng, I'm afraid we will not be able to do it. After all, Murong Ke The [-] elite riders led by him were all defeated by Liu Xiao. Although the serial horses are strong, their overall strength may not be stronger than the [-] elite riders..."

Temujin shouted: "So what? Immediately order someone to send an order to Jin Wushu, mobilize Jin Wushu's army to turn around and return to Yecheng immediately. Fifty thousand troops are enough for me to defeat Liu Xiao!"

"But,"

Yelusha on the side said in a deep voice: "Khan, now is the critical moment to attack Shangjun. If we lead the army eastward at this time, then Cao Cao will escape from birth. Although Cao Cao suffered heavy casualties, he still has considerable strength. , if we take advantage of our attack on Liu Xiao and gather our forces to attack our rear, then we will once again fall into the situation of being attacked from both sides, which is extremely dangerous..."

Fighting alone, the army outside the Great Wall is naturally not afraid of Liu Xiao's strength, but, coupled with Cao Cao's strength, one is fighting fiercely head-on, and the other is a killer behind the back, which is definitely enough for the army outside the Great Wall to drink a pot. The words revealed the current plight of the army outside the Great Wall and made Temujin calm down.

We must annihilate Cao Cao as soon as possible and take down Shangjun. In this way, we can concentrate our energy and forces to fight Liu Xiao in Yecheng. If we attack Liu Xiao now, we will always fall into a passive situation of fighting on two fronts...

Temujin regretted it a little. If he had just chosen an opponent to attack, how could he be as passive as he is today?
