The first thousand and sixty-six chapters tie the pocket
Chapter 1066: Tie your pockets
Tian Fengmei had so many words to explain to the scout Zhao Bao. He believed that as long as he told Zhao Yun about his arrangement, he would understand his arrangement.
"No, I will report to the general immediately."
Zhao Bao knew that this was not something that a pawn like him should ask, so he directly clasped his fists and turned around to leave.
"Military advisor, I heard that Zilong's scouts are here?"
Not long after Zhao Bao left, Dian Wei came directly to Tian Feng's house.
"Well, I have arranged for Zilong's soldiers to divide into two groups. One group will ambush south of Fengyang, and the other group will bypass Fengyang to meet the lord."
Tian Feng directly informed Dian Wei of his arrangements.
"Does the military advisor want to seal this encirclement into a strong point?
I'm afraid Lu Bu will grow wings and fly."
After hearing Tian Feng's arrangement, Dian Wei immediately understood his intention. The reason why he did not send troops now was because he wanted to wait for Yuan Shu's army to arrive, leaving Lu Bu unable to escape.
"Hey, I'm really afraid that Lu Bu will grow wings and fly, otherwise everything will be in vain."
Tian Feng had no choice. After all, Lu Bu was so awesome. If the arrangements were not proper and he was allowed to run away, he would not be able to hold his head high in front of Yuan Shu.
"I understand. If nothing happens, you should rest. Dian Wei is leaving."
Hearing what Tian Feng said, Dian Wei didn't need to stay here any longer and just left with fists in his hands.
Zhao Bao traveled all night, and at dawn the next day he saw Zhao Yun's army rushing towards Fengyang City.
"I want to see the general. Military Advisor Tian Feng has an order."
Zhao Bao shouted directly, and after hearing his words, the soldiers and horses in the front row also gave way to the passage, allowing him to come to Zhao Yun.
"General, Military Advisor Tian Feng has a military order to convey."
Zhao Bao dismounted directly and saluted Zhao Yun.
"The military advisor is in Fengyang City?"
When Zhao Bao conveyed Tian Feng's order, Zhao Yun was also stunned. Wasn't he with Yuan Shu?
Why did you arrive at Fengyang City?
"General, Military Advisor Tian Feng is in Fengyang City. He ordered you to divide your troops into two groups, one to ambush south of Fengyang, and the other to bypass Fengyang City and go north to meet the lord."
Zhao Bao nodded, and then directly told Tian Feng's arrangement.
"General, what does this mean, strategist?
We have 30,000 cavalry. As long as we kill them, Lu Bu's troops will definitely be difficult to resist. Why should we divide our troops?"
Hearing Tian Feng's arrangement, Captain Zhang Lin was also stunned. He didn't understand why he didn't attack now but divided his troops?
"Haha, the military advisor is afraid that Lu Bu can fly."
Zhao Yun smiled slightly when he heard Zhang Lin's words and said this jokingly.
"Can fly?
Isn't that the case?
In all my years of living, I have never seen anyone fly."
Although Zhao Yun was joking, Zhang Lin believed it and her face was full of doubts.
"I'm just kidding, the strategist is actually tying his pockets. Although it seems useless now, when the battle starts, you will know the strategist's arrangements."
Zhao Yun patted Zhang Lin on the shoulder, saying that there are some things that need not be said, because no matter how much you say, it is not as good as fighting with real swords and guns. By then, these people will all understand.
"Zhang Lin, you immediately lead the Xuanwei Army to bypass Fengyang and go north to meet the lord. I will lead the Yingyang Army to ambush south of Fengyang. Remember, you must not be timid when you round up with the lord, and you must not lose it.
If you let me know about the morale of Yingyang Army and Xuanwei Army, I won't be able to spare you."
Zhao Yun directly asked Zhang Lin to lead his troops north to fight Yuan Shu, while he laid an ambush south of Fengyang City. He believed in Lu Bu's strength. This guy was no ordinary person.
If others can't escape Tian Feng's pocket, Lu Bu can't. Only he can catch Lu Bu here. He really doesn't worry about others.
"promise."
After hearing Zhao Yun's order, Zhang Lin had nothing to say. She directly received the order with clasped fists, and then led the Xuanwei Army to rush north of Fengyang to fight Yuan Shu, while Zhao Yun led 10,000 Yingyang Army cavalry to rest on the spot.
Ambush, prepare to ambush Lu Bu.
The next day, Lu Bu's troops regained their strength after resting for a long time. The war drums rumbled and they began to attack Fengyang City again.
This time Lu Bu understood that Fengyang City could not be taken by relying on ladders alone, so he prepared ten carriages this time and slowly pushed forward under the escort of 20,000 infantry.
"Good guy, do you really think I can't kill his car?
Get your city defense crossbows ready, shoot them down for me."
Seeing Lu Bu's soldiers pushing ten carts and starting to attack again, Chang Lin smiled slightly. Last time, he wanted your soldiers to kill him, so he left one cart for you. This time, you push ten carts.
, thinking you can kill on the city wall, just go and have your spring and autumn dreams.
"promise."
Upon hearing the military order, the soldiers on the city wall were all excited. Yesterday, they were clearly capable of defeating the enemy's troops, but they had to suppress themselves and let their soldiers go to the city.
Now that I'm good, I can let go of the fight. With Fengyang City's defensive strength, let alone a cross, I won't be afraid at all even if there is another cross.
At one time, dozens of city-defending crossbows were all rolled out, and as long as the carriages dared to come within the shooting range, they were guaranteed to shoot accurately.
As time went by, Lu Bu's troops gradually reached the bottom of the city wall.
"Fire the arrow."
Upon hearing the order, the defensive crossbows on the city wall were fired together. Short spear-like crossbow arrows flew in, and the four chariots were directly shot into pieces.
"Depend on."
Seeing his car being smashed into four pieces, Lu Bu trembled behind him. This was too cruel. It wasn't so violent yesterday.
"What to do?"
Shiwu glanced at Lu Bu and couldn't help but be stunned. This was too fierce.
"It's easy to break when it's too strong, and it's fierce and short-lived. They won't be able to hold on for long and continue to attack."
Lu Bu shook his head. Although the enemy was so fierce, he was not worried and could just continue to attack.
"All right."
After hearing Lu Bu's order, the soldiers nodded and watched the soldiers continue to advance.
The ladders were erected on the city wall and they began to attack the city wall. The Yingyang Army soldiers guarding the city wall also immediately began to fight back. For a while, they shouted killing sounds and screams could be heard incessantly, whirling over Fengyang City.
The battle lasted for an hour. When Lu Bu saw that the battle was not going well, he directly pressed all the last troops and horses, trying to capture Fengyang City in one go.
Although the cross carriages were smashed one by one before they were pushed to the city wall, the Yingyang Army soldiers who were at a disadvantage in terms of troops and horses also fought very hard. In several places, Jiaozhou soldiers were killed on the city wall, and the situation began to be unfavorable for the defenders.
.
"Kerosera."
Seeing the development of the situation, Chang Lin directly called the soldiers to bring out the small amount of kerosene again.
After a burst of crackling sounds, the smell of kerosene filled the air. When the Jiaozhou soldiers saw this scene, they collapsed and retreated with a roar, because they knew what they were going to face next.
"Torch, burn it for me."
Torches fell from the sky and landed directly under the city wall, followed by surging flames rising into the sky, turning Fengyang City into a sea of fire.
The fast-running Jiaozhou soldiers did not suffer much damage, but those who ran slowly were not spared. They were writhing, rolling, and wailing in the sea of fire one by one.
"The whole army is temporarily resting."
Seeing this posture, Lu Bu also knew that the battle would not be fought for a while. There was still a fire burning under the city. Not to mention the soldiers, even he did not dare to rush in.
"promise."
Shiwu also knew that there was no way to rush to kill in this situation, and he nodded in agreement with Lu Bu's opinion.
Fengyang City, which was filled with smoke just now, fell into calm now. Lu Bu's soldiers and horses were recuperating under the city, and Ying Yang's army on the city wall also took the time to rest. After all, the enemy could not tell when they would come up again.
An hour passed in a blink of an eye. Lu Bu saw that his troops were almost rested, so he ordered his soldiers to start again and launch another attack on Fengyang City.
The fierce offensive and defensive battle began again. The Jiaozhou Army was also brave and brave. When the blood was boiling, they did not care about life and death. They began to rush towards the city wall desperately. However, they were unable to fight against the Yingyang Army, which had high morale and had the advantage of defending the city.
situation.
As the ladders were pushed down one by one, the losses of the Jiaozhou soldiers increased. Finally, they could no longer withstand it. Before Ming Jin could withdraw his troops, they began to retreat violently backwards.
"Hey, retreat, we can't fight today."
Lu Bu was helpless when he saw the soldiers disintegrating. After all, they were new soldiers. They might rely on the blood bravery to support them at first, but as time went by, the blood bravery collapsed and retreat was inevitable.
"Hey, retreat."
The warriors also sighed. Seeing that the city wall was about to be taken down, their soldiers failed to live up to expectations and could not withstand the final pressure. There was nothing they could do.
Lu Bu led his army to retreat again, leaving only corpses all over the city wall.
"We're holding on, we're holding on."
Seeing Lu Bu's troops retreating, Ying Yang's army on the city wall also cheered. Although they suffered a lot of casualties, it was worth it as long as they could defend the city.
"Marquis Wen, it's been three days, do you still want to continue attacking?"
In the reply camp, Shi Yi looked at Lu Bu in front of him and couldn't help but frown and speak to him.
"It is estimated that Yuan Shu's troops will arrive in two days at most. We will attack for a day tomorrow. If we still cannot capture Fengyang, we can only bypass here and head towards Guangxin City."
Lu Bu glanced at Shi Yi beside him. They had fewer people and less baggage. No matter what they did, they could travel easily. Moreover, they traveled day and night to gain time. Yuan Shu had many soldiers and horses, and needed a lot of baggage and supplies, so his speed was definitely faster than them.
Much slower,
But there is a limit to slowness. It has already been three days, and Yuan Shu should be able to arrive in two days at most, so there is not much time left for them.
"Then let's attack for a whole day tomorrow. If we still can't take Fengyang City, we must bypass Fengyang and go to Guangxin as soon as possible."
"Well, then go down and make arrangements."
Lu Bu's troops continued to cut down trees and make siege equipment, while Yuan Shu's army also accelerated towards Fengyang.
"Lord, we found a cavalry force in front of us, numbering more than 15,000, heading towards us."
The scouts in front discovered the situation immediately and came to report to Yuan Shu.
"The cavalry of more than fifteen thousand should be ours, so don't be nervous."
When he heard that there were more than 15,000 cavalry, Yuan Shu did not panic at all. Only his own troops here have such strength.
"Where is my lord?"
Zhang Lin arrived with the Xuanwei Army. When she saw the soldiers in front of her, she directly asked Yuan Shu's location.
"My lord has been waiting for you for a long time. Captain Zhang Lin, please come."
"good."
Zhang Lin came directly to Yuan Shu under the leadership of the soldiers.
"Yingyang Colonel Zhang Lin, pay homage to the lord."
When Zhang Lin saw Yuan Shu, she immediately dismounted and saluted him.
"Zhang Lin, right? What's the situation in Fengyang City now?"
After looking at Zhang Lin, Yuan Shu had nothing else to say and directly asked about the situation in Fengyang City.
"Now that there is no serious problem in Fengyang City for the time being, Military Advisor Tian Feng asked General Zilong to divide his troops into two groups. One group will ambush in the south of Fengyang City. The other group will be led by me to bypass Fengyang City and come over to meet the lord."
Zhang Lin directly told Yuan Shu all the news she knew.
"Yuan Hao is trying to pierce his pockets. Lu Bu is in trouble this time."
When he heard that Tian Feng did not let Zhao Yun enter Fengyang City, but instead asked him to divide his troops into two groups, Yuan Shu understood that Tian Feng was playing a big chess game and wanted to surround Lu Bu on all sides so that he could not escape.
"Lord, what should we do now?"
Zhang Lin also nodded when she heard Yuan Shu's words. This was exactly the same as what Zhao Yun said. It seemed that the gap between herself and those famous generals was not small.
"Tell the militia to speed up, and the guards will go south in carriages with Xuanwei's army. I will rush to Fengyang tonight and launch an attack on Lu Bu early tomorrow morning. If it is later, I think Lu Bu will run away."
