Chapter 106 General, the enemy soldiers have left the city

Zhou Xing, Guan Yu, Tai Shici and others stood on the city gate tower and looked outside the city. They saw that the Liaodong military formation was more orderly than last time.

"Look, why do the Liaodong soldiers have no cavalry?"

Li Ye, the meritorious officer, discovered that the Liaodong soldiers outside the city had no cavalry and couldn't help shouting.

When the Liaodong soldiers came to attack last time, Li Ye followed the army out of the city and saw with his own eyes that the powerful crossbowmen defeated the cavalry and captured many war horses.

I thought I could repeat the old trick this time, but now it seems that it is impossible to win the war horse again.

Zhou Xing also saw it and chuckled: "They don't want to send us any more horses."

"They don't have cavalry, so it will be easier for us to win." Tai Shici continued.

"Yes, if they don't use cavalry to charge into the formation, but attack from both sides, we will suffer."

"No matter what the cavalry charges, Guan will still defeat him!"

Guan Yu looked at the enemies outside the city, seemingly confident of victory, and seemed not to take these Liaodong soldiers seriously.

When he defeated the Liaodong soldiers last time, Guan Yu stayed in Huang County to defend the city and did not fight against the Liaodong soldiers.

"The enemy troops have arrived at the city, military advisor, can we go out of the city to fight now?" Guan Yu turned to look at Zhou Xing and asked.

Liu Bei had asked him to discuss with his military advisor, so he asked Zhou Xing for his opinion.

Zhou Xing responded: "Guan Xiaowei, don't be in a hurry, just wait."

"Still waiting? What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for the enemy to divide his forces."

"Divide the troops?" Guan Yu was a little confused.

Zhou Xing said: "Yes, the enemy has 9,000 soldiers and we only have 5,000. If we go to battle now, we will lose a lot of troops if we win. If we can divide the enemy's troops and weaken the enemy's strength, we can fight again."

Then the victory will be easier and the number of soldiers lost will be fewer."

"Does the military advisor have any good ideas?"

Guan Yu agreed with Zhou Xing that if he could make the enemy divide his troops and then lead his troops into battle, it would certainly be easier to win.

Zhou Xing must have thought of a plan.

He turned to look at Tai Shici and said: "The Liaodong soldiers only left a thousand men to guard the boat. You can let Ziyi lead 2000 men out of the city at night. If the enemy general knew about it, he would be worried that the ferry would be lost, so he divided his troops and returned to Jinkou to guard it.

Boat."

Mi Zhu was surprised and said: "Two thousand people? Then we only have three thousand people left in the city, how can we defeat the enemy?"

Guan Yu's expression remained unchanged, he had already guessed Zhou Xing's plan: "Zizhong, the two thousand men mentioned by the military counselor should include the newly recruited one thousand soldiers. Military counselor, after the enemy divides his troops, when we go to war, will Ziyi lead him again?"

Soldiers and horses appear, are you going to attack me from both sides?"

Zhou Xing did not expect Guan Yu to guess his plan so quickly.

That's fine, Guan Yu understands, and he doesn't need to waste any more words to persuade.

"What Guan Xiaowei said is right, Ziyi, you lead a thousand elite soldiers and a thousand new soldiers. After leaving the city, let the thousand new soldiers go to Jinkou. You lead another thousand elite soldiers to hide near Huang County.

If the enemy general knew that our soldiers were leaving the city and rushing to Jinkou, they would definitely divide their troops to guard the ship, which would weaken the enemy's strength."

"Then Guan Xiaowei led his troops to fight. At that time, Ziyi led his troops to fight out. Attacked from both sides, the enemy troops will be defeated. However, if the enemy retreats, you cannot pursue them."

Taishi Ci asked in confusion: "Why can't we pursue him?"

Mi Zhu immediately replied: "If we pursue and the Liaodong soldiers are defeated miserably, we will not dare to come again in the future. The intention of the military advisor is to ask the Liaodong soldiers to attack, so that we can recruit more soldiers and not be suspicious of the Yuan family."

Taishi Ci understood, nodded and said: "I see, then when will I leave the city?"

"After seven days, we will close the city without fighting for seven days, so that the Liaodong soldiers will think that we are timid, and we can also train the one thousand new soldiers to obey orders, so that they can be easily led."

After Zhou Xing finished speaking, he looked at Guan Yu, waiting for his opinion.

Now Guan Yu is in charge, and any decision requires his approval.

Guan Yu hesitated for a moment and finally nodded: "Do as the military advisor of Zhou said."

Only then did he understand why his eldest brother had to listen to the military advisor in everything.

Guan Yu immediately ordered Taishi Ci to train the thousand new soldiers first, so that they would know how to obey orders and lead them after they left the city.

He also ordered soldiers to patrol and guard the city closely, not only to prevent enemy soldiers from suddenly attacking the city, but also to prevent enemy spies from sneaking into the city to cause trouble, and at the same time, to prevent people in the city from secretly meeting the enemy.

Liu Yi and Yang Yi waited outside the city for seven days, going to the city every day to call for battle, but the soldiers in the city refused to go out to fight, which made them very distressed.

There must be a lot of food in the city. If the defender refuses to go to war, but he doesn't have that much food, he will have no choice but to return without success in a short time.

"What should we do?" That night, Liu Yi asked Yang Yi.

Yang Yi said with a worried look on his face: "Guan Yu will not dare to fight if Liu Bei is not here to defend the city. If we continue to defend the city like this, it will be very detrimental to us! How about..."

"What's better?" Liu Yi asked urgently.

"How about we divide our forces." Yang Yi thought for a while and finally said.

"Split the troops?"

Liu Yi was a little confused.

Yang Yi said: "Yes, Liu Bei's troops and horses are gathered in Huang County. It is difficult to attack the city by force. However, there are no troops and horses to defend the city in Muping and Dongmu counties. Why don't we divide our troops and attack Muping and Dongmu. If we can capture these two

If we take the city, we can get food and grass, and we have a stronghold in the city. Then we can slowly attack Huang County and destroy Guan Yu. Then Donglai will be ours."

"Hahaha," Liu Yi was overjoyed, "So you meant to divide your forces to attack the city! If Mouping and Dongmu are defeated, Guan Yu will be afraid. Even if he doesn't abandon the city and flee, he will be destroyed by us. I think this strategy is feasible.

."

Seeing that the other party agreed, Yang Yi was also overjoyed: "I will lead three thousand soldiers and horses to attack Mouping, and you stay here. Moreover, Guan Yu will be anxious if he sees us dividing our troops to attack Mouping. I predict that he will lead the troops to fight, but

, you only have 6,000 troops, can you defeat Guan Yu?"

Although Guan Yu's reputation is not as good as Zhang Fei's, he is still recognized as a fierce general. Now it is known that there are five thousand troops in the city, and Liu Bei has sent military counselor Zhou Xing to help. Yang Yi is worried that Liu Yi is not Guan Yu's opponent.

After all, after taking away 3,000 soldiers, Liu Yi only had 6,000 soldiers left. With 6,000 soldiers against 5,000, the chances of winning were not great.

Liu Yi thought about it carefully at this time and felt that this was a problem.

If you say that you can defend the camp without fighting, but saying so, it seems that you are too timid and cowardly.

If you go to fight, you really may not be able to win.

I originally led the troops to attack, relying on the large number of troops. I thought that Liu Bei had gone to Beihai and Donglai only had 3,000 troops to garrison down there. I could break through Huang County and capture Donglai as soon as I arrived.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei sent reinforcements so quickly. It only took three days to reach Huang County and enter the city to defend it.

"I can hold the camp without fighting and wait for you to defeat Mouping. At that time, Guan Yu will be worried. If I go out to fight again, I will definitely win."

Liu Yi said this to save himself some face.

After Yang Yi defeats Mu Ping, Guan Yu will definitely be eager to go to war, and being anxious will lead to chaos. Then he will go out to fight, and it will not be difficult to win.

"It's okay." Yang Yi thinks this is okay.

"Then it's settled that you will lead three thousand soldiers to attack Mouping tomorrow."
