Chapter 414 Jiangxia City is as solid as gold

After Zhuge Jin finished reading the war report, Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and said calmly to the crowd, "Sunhou, Uncle Liu, generals, the 30,000 Cao soldiers captured by our side are native Jingzhou soldiers. They are the middle force of Cao's water war... How to deal with these prisoners? ..."

At Zhuge Liang's proposal, after discussions between Sun and Liu, Sun Quan decided to allocate the prisoners to Sun and Liu on average, and let these prisoners build roads and open up forests and fields... Liu Bei's side used prisoners to open up the road from Chibi to Jingzhou, while Sun Quan's side used prisoners to broaden the road from Chibi to Jiangdong. Road.

After placing the prisoners, Zhuge Liang explained to the crowd: "... According to the previous expectation, the arrogant Cao Cao will definitely not give up. He will definitely seize the fighter plane and gather troops to attack Jiangxia County! In this way, Taishi Dudu and Gan Taishou are going to face another difficult battle... If Cao Cao's side is defeated again, Liang guesses that Cao Cao will still not retreat, and he will continue to lead his army to station on the north shore of the Chibi Ferry, and then maintain a high-pressure situation... According to the information held by Liang, Jingzhou's grain and fod can only support hundreds of thousands of Cao. The army for half a year; the grain and fodder in Yingchuan County in the north can support hundreds of thousands of Cao troops for a year. In order to force Cao Cao back, on the one hand, we have to confront Cao Cao strongly, and at the same time, we have to deal with the issue of grain and fodder..."

Zhuge Liang said this, so he got up and walked to the huge military map. He drew a picture in the back of Cao Cao with a thin stick. "Please see, in the future, Cao Cao will definitely mobilized troops to invade Jiangdong from Qingzhou and Hefei. Cao Cao's move is to divide our limited military strength to suppress change... This danger, I You only need to retreat to the south of the Yangtze River to resolve it. In the future battle, the front is destined to be long, and we are also destined to only fight passive defensive battles. In order to change from passive to active, we can only deal with Cao Jun on the issue of food and fodder... How can we cut off Cao Jun's food and fodder supply? The only way is for us to send an elite cavalry to go deep into the rear of the Cao army..."

After Zhuge Liang put forward the plan, Sun Liushuang conveniently recommended suitable generals. Finally, this arduous task fell on Zhao Yun. After all, Zhao Yun is the leader of Youzhou Baima Yicong, and his experience in leading the cavalry is only Gao Shun, who is trapped in the camp. Surman, the leader of the Huns' cavalry, can compare with it.

However, this time Zhao Yun came to the Jiangdong Army Camp alone, and no one Bai Ma Yi followed him. You can't let Zhao Yun go deep into the enemy's rear alone and complete the task of harassing the enemy's rear, can he? Of course, there are also suitable cavalry to follow Zhao Yun, such as Gao Shun's trapped camp and Surman's Huns. But they all belong to Jiangdong at this time, and they can't let Jiangdong get ahead of everything, right? Besides, these two brave cavalry will also act as mobile troops to reinforce the battlefields of Chibi and Jiangxia County at any time.

Finally, Liu Bei sent 2,000 cavalry to form a "Wudang Flying Army" and was assigned to Zhao Yun to command. These two thousand cavalry have been specially trained by Zhuge Liang. How is his combat effectiveness? Zhuge Liang has kept it a secret for the time being, and everything will be revealed in the actual battle!

The armor worn by these 2,000 cavalry is carefully designed by Zhuge Liang, and the craftsman is made of excellent materials. Zhuge Liang named this armor "Wudang Armor". No way, as the name implies: there is nothing to stop it." "No armor" is dark red, and the protective goggles on the front chest are replaced by bright gossip decorations. Other armor is no different from ordinary armor.

Zhao Yun led a battalion of 2,000 "Wudang Flying Army" and Tai Shici and Gan Ning left the Chibi camp together. Taking advantage of the cover of the night, they passed through the dense forest and came to a secret Jiangdong camp ten miles downstream of Chibi, where they took a troop carrier to Jiangxia County quietly.

At this time, at the Chibi ferry, Sun Liu's coalition also had the following super generals: Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the generals of Xiong Hu under Liu Bei's command; Zhou Yu, Zhou Tai and Ling Tong, the generals of the killer whale under Sun Quan's command. With these five super fierce generals sitting at the Chibi Ferry, Sun Liu's allied forces will naturally not be afraid of the sneak attack of Cao's army across the river.

During the day, these five super generals appeared in the water military camp at the Chibi Pier to show their strength and warn the Cao army on the other side not to act rashly.

Let's talk about the whereabouts of Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and Gan Ning. After their party arrived in Jiangxia County, Zhao Yun did not lead his troops to participate in the defensive battle of Jiangxia County. After he said goodbye to Taishici and Gan Ning, he led the Wudang Flying Army to leave Jiangxia County and went straight to the rear of Cao Cao. The task of harassing Cao Cao's rear is extremely dangerous. That's the job of tying his head to his belt.

Zhao Yun led the army to leave, and there was a scout to report to Gan Ning and Taishi Ci: Cao Cao's forward troops, 10,000 tigers and leopards have arrived at the west gate of Jiangxia County.

Hearing the news, Gan Ning and Tai Shici looked at each other. They agreed: Cao Jun came so fast. At the first defeat, Cao's army still had high morale and fighting spirit. Cao Cao really had a way to lead the troops!

The next moment, Gan Ning has gathered troops to the West Gate: at this time, there were 30,000 troops in Jiangxia County. And the real name is only 8,000, which is the result of the tossing of Sun Hao, the third-grade general. According to the newly promulgated regulations on the scale of the garrison in the city: there can only be 8,000 soldiers in Jiangxia County, and the salaries of extra soldiers and all other expenses are not paid by the high-level officials in Jiangdong, which will be absorbed by the local government.

Fortunately, Gan Ning usually has a good relationship with Sun Hao, so Sun Hao also turns a blind eye to the soldiers who exceed Gan Ning's limits. In order to win over Gan Ning, Sun Hao sometimes paid for the military expenditure of Jiangxia County according to Gan Ning's requirements.

If you are a greedy general, how much military expenditure can you embezzle? But Gan Ning didn't. He rewarded the extra money on it and rewarded the soldiers with excellent performance.

Ganning's 30,000 soldiers, plus Taishici's 800 camp soldiers, 2,000 Xiongnu cavalry, 3,000 domineering generals, such a fine soldier and strong general, what if in the face of thousands of troops and thousands of horses?!

On this day, the red sun dawned, in the cold northwest wind. Taishi Ci and Gan Ning were fully armed and looked calm. Under the protection of Yan Yun's bodyguard, they boarded the Xicheng Gate Tower. At this time, more than 30,000 soldiers under their command gathered on the main road in Xicheng District. More than 30,000 people, the queue was neat and uniform. In addition to the sneezing of the war horses, each officer stood quietly like a statue. How much energy does the quiet scene contain?

Standing on the gate tower, Taishici and Gan Ning saw nearly ten thousand tigers and leopards of Cao Jun at a glance. Cao's tiger and leopard rider of the Cao army is three kilometers away from the moat at this time. They are also divided into four phalanxes in units of battalions, and there is a general in front of each phalanx. These four generals, Taishi Ci and Gan Ning, can also guess ten according to the weapons and appearance they hold: the generals of the Central Army wears a hundred-flowered armor and holds a square sky painting halberd, which shows that the general is Zhang Liao, who used to be a subordinate of Lv Bu, Marquis of Wen, so after Cao Cao wiped out Lv Bu, he used Lv Bu's armor and weapons. Rewarded to Zhang Liao, who defected in sincerity; the general on Zhang Liao's right held a Xueliang Xuanhua axe, which was like a fake replacement of Xu Huang. These two were once brave generals of the Xiliang Legion; the general in front of the side army on the left side of Zhang Liao held a gorgeous treasure gun, like a phoenix reborn in the fire. This general used to be Xiliang. Zhang Xiu, the fierce general of the legion; the main general of the other side army, held a dark iron gun, which was Zhang Kuang, one of the "Four Pillars of Hebei" once famous in China. The other three of the four pillars of Hebei have died tragically in the battlefield.

Tai Shici and Gan Ning know that these four super generals are all unique, wise and brave generals, and all enemies that are difficult to deal with.

The four square arrays of the Cao army stood in the distance like a rock, and the official road behind it was thick smoke: the other cavalry, infantry and equipment troops of the Cao army were rushing to here. When Zhang Liao and other masters saw Taishi Ci and Gan Ning appearing in the gate building, they all looked surprised: weren't Tai Shici and Gan Ning still at the Chibi ferry yesterday? How did they appear in Jiangxia County? ...If Tai Shici and Gan Ning have appeared in Jiangxia County, will they still carry out Cao Cao's order to attack Jiangxia County? ......

After Zhang Liao and others looked at each other, they were collectively worried: If Taishi Ci and Gan Ning guard Jiangxia County, with their superb martial arts skills, will they let Cao's army cross the moat unscrupulously, and then arrange a continuous stone thrower position within the range? ... Without the main attack of the continuous stone-throwing machine, Cao Jun would not have been able to win.

This result is the lion on the bald man's head - it's obvious. Just as Zhang Liao and other generals were thinking about whether it was to attack or standby in place or withdraw their troops in time, 40 tiger guards escorted Jia Xu to the front position. At this time, Zhang Liao and other generals saw Jia Xu, just like suddenly seeing light in the dark.

Why did Jia Xu appear in front of Zhang Liao and others in such a timely manner? Last night, when Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and other generals led 100,000 troops to Jiangxia County, Cao Cao, Jia Xu, Xun Yu and others chatted in the Chinese army's tent. Suddenly, Changshi Xun Yu said to Cao Cao, "King of Wei, what if the Jiangdong Army also sends generals to Jiangxia County overnight, Zhang Liao and other generals? ..."

Xun Yu's question immediately made Cao Cao shudder. Cao thought to himself: After the alliance between Jiangdong Group and Liu Bei at this time, they had as many super fierce generals as themselves... If there are four super fierce generals participating in the defensive battle of Jiangxia County, then Sun Liu's coalition will have the strength to go out of the city to meet the enemy. If Sun Liulian The army refused to fight outside the city. Can Cao's army, who attacked the city, still place siege equipment in the front position as he wished?

When Cao Cao was thinking, Jia Xu, the military division, also said to Cao Cao, "King of Wei, according to the information we have, at this time, Jiangxia County has at least 30,000 troops... If his subordinates infer well, the trapped camp under the command of Taishi Ci of the Jiangdong Army and the Xiongnu cavalry should also be in Jiangxia County, if there is more Taishi Ci and Gan Ning participated in the battle to defend the city. If Zhang Liao and others want to complete the siege task, the result can be imagined..."

When Cao Cao heard Jia Xu's remarks, his eyebrows were almost squeezed together. His eyes patrolled back and forth between Jiangxia County and Chibi Ferry on the map.

When Cao Cao's eyes were locked at the Chibi Ferry, Jia Xu closed his mouth, and Xun Yu gently reminded Cao Cao and said, "King of Wei, at this time, the strength of Sun Liu's allied forces is far less than ours, but the number of super fierce generals he has is no less than ours... Therefore, Sun Liu's allied army has the strength in Jiangxia County and Chibi Ferry. Fight the defense at the same time! King Wei, even if we have a chance to sneak up on the Chibi Ferry, our ferry is far from enough..."
