The defenders on the city wall saw Dian Wei's arrival and immediately ordered the city gates to be opened and ushered them in.
"Military advisor, General Dian Wei."
Zhang Fu and Chang Lin, who were in charge of guarding, also came directly to greet them.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense. Tell me the situation in Fengyang City right now. Lu Bu is leading an army of 40,000 people south. We don't have much time."
Tian Feng, however, didn't waste any time and directly started asking about the number of soldiers and horses in Fengyang City.
"Now there are 3,000 Ying Yang troops and 2,000 Dang bandit troops in Fengyang, for a total of 5,000 soldiers and horses. In addition, there are more than 10,000 prisoners ambushed by Xie Shan and 3,000 surrender troops from Fengyang City."
When he heard that Lu Bu had arrived with an army of 40,000, Chang Lin did not dare to neglect and immediately told the situation about Fengyang City.
"Those prisoners are unreliable. From now on, all prisoners will be under control and put on ropes. They will not be allowed to leave without special circumstances. We will also send scouts out of the city to investigate the situation. In addition, find me a map of Kanyu near Fengyang. Now, quickly."
Tian Feng knew that Lu Bu would go south on his own in two days. According to the speed, the enemy would be able to arrive outside Fengyang City in two days at most. He wanted to use this short time to figure out how to lock all Lu Bu's escape channels.
method.
"Commander, please rest. I'll send someone over with the map right away. In addition, all the enemy's prisoners are now under control."
After hearing Tian Feng's words, Chang Lin and Zhang Fu realized the seriousness of the matter. Without any nonsense, they bent over and asked Tian Feng to come in and rest.
"Go directly to the military camp. There is no need to go to the county office."
Tian Feng nodded, but he did not choose to go to the county office to rest. Instead, he chose to go to the military camp.
"promise."
The two brought Tian Feng and Dian Wei directly to the military camp, and the map near Fengyang that Tian Feng needed was also delivered to them.
Spreading out the map, Tian Feng began to observe carefully. What he wanted to do now was to first find the place where Lu Bu was most likely to place his marching camp, and then set up corresponding countermeasures based on his location.
"There is another place here. Send someone to take me to investigate the situation there immediately."
After looking at the map, Tian Feng immediately found two places suitable for camping. One was six miles away from Fengyang City, and the other was eight miles away. However, this was Jiaozhou, and he was not sure what the direction on the map was.
"Come here, prepare your carriages and horses and leave the city."
After hearing Tian Feng's words, Dian Wei immediately shouted to the door.
Soon a hundred cavalrymen, led by Dian Wei, escorted Tian Feng's carriage and left Fengyang directly, heading towards the place he chose.
After exploring both places from near to far, Tian Feng fell into doubts. Because the two places had different choices, he had to formulate corresponding countermeasures. Therefore, he could only take action after clearly judging the enemy's actions.
Correct countermeasures.
"General Dian Wei, if these two places were you, where would you choose to camp?"
Tian Feng was a little undecided. After all, it was difficult to guess what the other party was thinking, and he needed to find someone to prove it.
"If there are no other factors, the place eight miles away is definitely suitable. But now Lu Bu and the others want speed. They must capture Fengyang before the lord's army goes south, so if it were me, I would choose Liuli.
Choose to camp in the woods over there.”
Dian Wei glanced at Tian Feng, and after thinking for a while, he gave his choice.
"Oh I see."
Tian Feng nodded when he heard Dian Wei's words. This was what he was struggling with, but since Dian Wei said so, he had nothing to hesitate.
"Dianwei."
"exist."
"Immediately send people to find Zhang He and Zang Ba, and ask them to lead the Jianzhong Army and Xuzhou Army respectively to Anshan and Dutu Mountains within three days to ambush, and set up many horse pits and tripping ropes.
Don't worry about the enemy. As long as Lu Bu appears, you must capture him for me. Whoever captures Lu Bu, I will take credit for him. If anyone lets him go, go to the lord and ask for punishment."
Tian Feng looked at Dian Wei, and the entire process of the Battle of Fengyang had already appeared in his mind. He had a plan for victory or defeat, and he had already begun to make arrangements in advance to ensure that everything was foolproof.
"Shouldn't the two of them lead the army to block the enemy's retreat?
Why go to Anshan and Dutu Mountain?"
He could answer the first question, but he was a little confused about Tian Feng's subsequent arrangements.
"We'll talk about it after we return to the city."
However, Tian Feng gave up. What he has to do now is not just to defeat Lu Bu, but to capture Lu Bu, so this greatly restricts his choices.
"promise."
The group of people did not stop and returned directly to Fengyang City.
"Have Chang Lin and Zhang Fu come over and respond immediately."
After entering the city, Tian Feng directly ordered the two captains to come over and talk.
"military adviser."
"military adviser."
The two of them knew that Tian Feng would definitely look for them when he came back, so they waited outside early.
"I probably already understand the strategy. The most difficult part now is the defense of Fengyang City."
Tian Feng glanced at the two of them and spoke directly.
"Commander, please rest assured, we have complete confidence that we can defeat Lu Bu and defend Fengyang City."
After hearing what Tian Feng said, Chang Lin, as the captain who originally guarded Fengyang City, directly assured him that there would be no problems in Fengyang City.
"What I want is not only to defend Fengyang City, but you also need to delay as much time as possible to make Lu Bu and the others feel that there is hope for taking Fengyang, but they still can't take it. I will nail them here firmly. If I can
Can you do it?”
Tian Feng naturally knew that they were determined and confident to defend Fengyang City, but he did have higher requirements, that is, to defend Fengyang City, but not to let Lu Bu despair and nail them here.
Under a city.
"What to do?"
Chang Lin was immediately confused at this moment. You must know that what Tian Feng said was a contradictory thing. Either he would use all his strength to directly resist Lu Bu's offensive, or the entire army would be defeated and Fengyang City would change hands. How could this happen?
What if we can stay away from each other, but still defend the city and prevent the enemy from giving up hope?
"This is the difficulty. My lord means that Lu Bu must stay in Fengyang City for this battle, so it will take time. Zilong is driving back with his cavalry, and my lord is also leading his army south to Fengyang.
We can only rely on the bait of Fengyang City to make Fengyang become a useless thing, tasteless to eat, and a pity to abandon. Only in this way can we make him stay where he is and wait for the arrival of our troops.
The next step will be up to you. If this battle can be successful, I will ask you for credit, my lord."
Tian Feng glanced at them and directly put this very difficult problem in front of the two of them. If it succeeds, I will give you credit. If it fails, this huge credit will be lost. You two can figure out what to do.
.
"Chang Lin takes the order."
"Zhang Fu accepts the order."
The two of them were overjoyed when they heard that Tian Feng wanted to ask for merit. They must know that the world has been settled now, and there are basically no major wars. The battle of Jiaozhou may be the last chance to make merit. If they don't fight now, they will not be able to do it in the future.
There may be no chance.
"Okay, then you go down immediately to discuss countermeasures."
Tian Feng nodded to the two of them, and then arranged for them to go down to prepare for the battle.
The two did not leave immediately after leaving, but got together.
"What do you think?
Any ideas?"
Chang Lin glanced at Zhang Fu and asked him directly what he thought.
"My idea is to show the enemy weakness first. There should not be too many soldiers and horses on the city wall, no more than 2,000 people. The purpose is to make the enemy unclear about the situation and make them think that there are not many soldiers and horses in the city, so that he will have hope.
, I think it is possible to break through Fengyang City at any time, so the enemy will never leave easily, and we should be able to buy a lot of time."
Zhang Fu heard Chang Lin's question and directly expressed his thoughts.
"This can indeed show the enemy's weakness, but Fengyang City is so big, can two thousand people really block the enemy's attack?
After all, they have an army of 40,000."
Although what Zhang Fu said made sense, they were taking a risk. After all, the enemy had an army of 40,000. If something went wrong, their troops might have been rushed onto the city wall without reinforcements, and it would be all over.
"We must believe in the strength of our own soldiers and horses. Lu Bu's so-called army is just a bunch of chickens and dogs. If we want to fulfill the requirements of the military advisor, we can only do this. Besides, if we really can't stop it, we can send people to climb the wall.
With support, at least Fengyang can still be saved."
Zhang Fu shook his head slightly. They could only do this now, otherwise there was really no other way to keep Lu Bu firmly under Fengyang City.
"Okay, let's arrange it as you said. I hope we can block the enemy's attack."
Facing Zhang Fu's explanation, Chang Lin could only nod his head.
"Well, I'll make arrangements right away."
When Zhang Fu confirmed his plan, he nodded and left immediately to convey the order.
"Military advisor, what do you think they will do?"
Dian Wei glanced at Tian Feng and directly asked his question.
