Do you think Yuan Shu's army will attack the city at night?"
Li Yun glanced at Zhou Ping, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. He could clearly see Yuan Shu's army during the day. This siege was so difficult. If they really attacked the city at night, he didn't know what the outcome would be.
"Don't worry, a night attack will be beneficial to us after all, so under normal circumstances Yuan Shu's army will not choose to attack the city at night, but we cannot relax our vigilance and must strengthen our vigilance."
Although Zhou Ping felt that Yuan Shujun would not sneak attack on the city wall at night, he still had to take precautions, otherwise he would become a sinner through the ages if the enemy took advantage of the loophole.
"No, I'll make arrangements right away."
While Zhou Ping was deploying troops and horses, Xi Zhicai and Lu Bu's army in Aori Mountain and Qianshan Hill were also in full formation, waiting for the battle at the city head to take place.
But as the scouts returned, they realized that Yuan Shu's army had only feigned an attack and then started to set up camp. This meant that their attempt to attack while Yuan Shu was attacking the city might have to be temporarily stranded.
"Zixiao, if you were the commander of Yuan Shu's partial army, what would you do now?"
Xi Zhicai glanced at Cao Ren, wanting to hear what he meant.
"If I were the commander-in-chief of this partial army, I would definitely set up camp now, and then send out scouts to explore the surrounding situation."
Cao Ren thought for a moment and gave his own thoughts.
"Well, this is also the reason why I chose to stay in the Auri Mountain. Although it is some distance away from the East City, the enemy's scouts will not come here to investigate, which can guarantee our absolute secrecy."
Xi Zhicai nodded. This is also the reason why he chose Auri Mountain. First of all, it is some distance away from the East City, and enemy scouts will not come here. Secondly, Auri Mountain has many tall trees and rugged terrain, which is more convenient for him.
hide.
"Then what should we do next?"
Cao Ren glanced at Xi Zhicai and expressed his doubts.
"The next step is to see what Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses will do. If they can't help but attack the city with all their strength, then we will naturally take advantage of the situation to attack and annihilate them. But if they come here with the intention of intimidating Jiujiang County and the return of Lu Bu, who has transferred the alchemists
If so, then attack the camp at night and kill them all individually."
Xi Zhicai glanced at Cao Ren and expressed his thoughts.
"But I'm afraid that if I delay it for too long, there may be problems with the Lord at Dan Tutu's place."
Hearing Xi Zhicai's thoughts, Cao Ren did not frown. They came here with a mission. They had to fight quickly and then return to Dan Tu to support Cao Cao.
"So this time only has three days, and I can only wait for three days. No matter how Yuan Shu's army arranges it, if they don't attack the city within three days, we will be the first to start the war."
How could Xi Zhicai not know the situation at Dantu? From here in Dongcheng, he felt that Dantu's cavalry was the fastest, but even if the infantry went at full strength, it would still take five days, so he had to resolve the battle within three days.
"Cao Ren understands. I will arrange for people to communicate with Lu Bu and agree on a time."
Since Xi Zhicai had been talking for three days, Cao Ren immediately understood what he should do.
"Well, you go make arrangements."
Xi Zhicai nodded. It was indeed very comfortable to have a wise general here. He gave out strategic guidelines and he immediately knew what he should do next and how he should do it.
"promise."
A group of fast horses quietly set out, leaving Aori Mountain and heading towards Qianshan Hill, and agreed with Lu Bu on a time for the battle.
Yan Liang's army set up camp very quickly. At the same time, the scouts sent by Zhang He also moved in all directions and began to explore the surroundings. However, their targets were only within twenty miles of the surrounding area, while Xi Zhicai and Lu Bu were stationed thirty miles away.
Traces of both can be detected.
"Mr. Zibu, do you think there will be a night attack by Dongcheng's troops at night?"
After the camp was set up, all the generals gathered in Yan Liang's tent.
"Does General Gongji think they will come?"
Zhang Zhao glanced at Yan Liang, then smiled and asked a question.
"If it were me, I might attack the camp at night, but if it were the other party, maybe not."
Yan Liang also smiled slightly and made his own remarks.
"Although this is the case, we still have to do what we need to do, and we can't slack off at all. After all, danger may happen at any time."
Zhang Zhao nodded. Yan Liang's analysis was correct. Everyone knew that Jizhou's troops were the best in the world, and basically no one would leave the city unguarded to attack them at night and fight in the field. However, the work that needed to be done still had to be done.
"clear."
Yan Liang, Zhang He and Xu Rong looked at each other and clasped their fists.
Yan Liang was holding the camp tightly and had no intention of attacking. Yuan Shu's army from the other direction also rushed outside Dan Tu.
Yuan Shu rode his horse to the outside of Dantu City, but Cao Cao did not leave the city this time. Instead, he stood on the city wall and looked at Yuan Shu below.
"Cao Mengde, my old friend is here, why don't you come down for a while?"
Looking at Cao Cao on the city wall, Yuan Shu smiled slightly and sent his voice to the city wall.
"Yuan Gongli, since we are old friends, why don't you come to the city to have a chat?
I have arranged a singer and fine wine to entertain you."
After hearing Yuan Shu's words, Cao Cao also smiled slightly.
"Haha, if you don't come down, I'm going to call you in."
Looking at Cao Cao, Yuan Shu's eyes flashed with light.
"Come on, Cao has been waiting for a long time. I hope you won't hit your head on my city wall and get bloody."
Facing Yuan Shu's strength, Cao Cao showed no weakness.
"Then let's see which one is stronger, your city wall or my steel sword."
Now that Cao Cao has said so, Yuan Shu has nothing more to say. Let me see the real chapter.
Yuan Shu turned around and returned to his army, while Cao Cao on the top of the city also left the city directly because he knew that Yuan Shu would definitely attack next and there was no need to take risks here.
"Lord, how are you doing?"
Chen Gong glanced at Yuan Shu.
"What else can be done?
Cao Cao was very energetic and did not panic at all because we arrived with a large army."
Looking at Chen Gong, Yuan Shu knew what he wanted to ask.
"Then we're going to attack the city next?"
Hearing Yuan Shu's words, Wen Chou chatted excitedly at the side.
"Stop for now, I want to wait for news from Jiujiang County."
Yuan Shu shook his head. Now there are more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops in Dantu City. If he attacks rashly, he will get nothing but a bloody blow. Instead of arriving like this, it is better to wait and wait for Jiujiang County.
According to the news, the moment Lu Bu led his troops to leave, that was when he broke into the city.
"promise."
Yuan Shu's army camped outside Dan Tu, but Cao Cao on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief. It's okay. If Yuan Shu really starts to attack the city now, then he is not sure whether he can support it until the soldiers and horses from Jiujiang County come back.
I feel confused.
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, the three-day appointment had arrived. Yan Liang also followed the original strategy, focusing on deterrence and not taking the initiative to attack the city.
"Military advisor, will we attack the camp tonight?"
