Chapter 183: Specific issues and specific analysis
"Lost, lost!"
After all, Xiahou Dun, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, also looked gloomy at this moment. "The city of Xiapi is too high and the wall is too thick. Our siege team's ladders can't even reach the top of the tower. We can't rush the car."
We were unable to break through the city gate, and Lu Bu could not hold on. After half a day of siege, we made no progress at all. We had no choice but to withdraw our troops at the expense of money."
Huo, unexpectedly, was not captured?
Cao Cao was shocked, Cao Ren was shocked, and Jia Xu was also shocked. In such a superior situation, he failed to convert his advantage into victory?
"Yuan Rang, are you sure we will continue to attack the city tomorrow?" Cao Cao asked Xiahou Dun anxiously. He was also very nervous. This was even related to his strategic deployment.
Xiahou Dun shook his head, and then sighed helplessly. "It's difficult, it's difficult... It can be said that as long as Lu Bu makes no mistakes in defending the city, we don't have the slightest chance."
call…
Cao Cao's brows suddenly wrinkled.
When he marches a long distance, he must win quickly.
If it drags on, the battle line will be stretched too long, and the weakness of difficulty in transporting grain and grass will be exposed. What's more terrible is that the main force has stayed outside for too long, and the capital city in the rear area will be empty. If something happens, the consequences will be
Unthinkable.
"what should I do?"
When he thought of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.
…
Jia Xu was also bowing his head in thought. According to Xiahou Dun, the reason why Xiapi City was difficult to conquer was because the city was too high and the wall was too thick.
So... wait.
Jia Xu suddenly remembered that Yi Xiaotian seemed to have mentioned that in addition to the four trump cards proposed by Jia Xu, Lu Bu had one trump card left.
When Yi Xiaotian proposed this trump card, he was absolutely convinced that this was the trump card that Lu Bu could really rely on!
"I see…"
Jia Xu couldn't help but mutter to himself. "It turns out that shopkeeper Yi had predicted early on that the thing that could really prevent Cao's army from breaking through the city was not the so-called bravery of Lu Bu or the resourcefulness of Chen Gong...but it was precisely this one that was easiest to be ignored and the most difficult.
It turns out that the problem of a high city and thick walls has been overcome."
Jia Xu's mind changed rapidly...
I immediately figured out what was going on here.
Yes, Xiapi City is a very special city in these troubled times. When Tao Qian, the former "Xianyu Zhoumu" and "Buddhist Master" of Xuzhou City, took control of Xuzhou, he had no idea of expanding the territory.
However, he still has a way of managing states and counties and shrinking defenses. He is doing one big thing over and over again, which is to constantly build city walls, build up city defenses, and accumulate grain...
The consequence of this is that even though Lu Bu is now huddled in Xiapi City, Cao Cao is unable to do anything to defend Xiapi City against this insurmountable man-made punishment.
Cao Cao and Jia Xu can even feel it...
Lu Bu stood at the top of Xiapi City, looking down at Cao Jun's mocking appearance. His proud smile seemed to say four words - "Come here?"
…
time.
The atmosphere in the entire Chinese army tent was a little solemn and a little strange.
Huh...Cao Cao was still sighing.
Cao Ren shook his head. "Mengde, now we are in a dilemma. We cannot win quickly if we advance. If we retreat, the eastern border of Xuzhou that was finally captured will be surrendered in an instant. But even so, I still suggest that we first
Retreat the troops...at least retreat the army to Yanzhou and plan for the long term."
Cao Ren raised his hand and said something meaningful. "Xu Ducheng can be empty for a while, but it cannot be empty for a long time!"
Cao Ren's suggestion is a safer approach. If you can't win quickly, then instead of dragging your feet, it's better to stop the loss in time and evacuate first.
"no!"
Jia Xu directly waved his hand and retorted. "Lü Bu is a simple-minded guy with well-developed limbs. Now he has suffered repeated setbacks and has no spirit! The morale on the battlefield and the fighting spirit of the soldiers completely depend on the spirit of the commander. Now the fighting spirit of Lu Bu's three armies has been
Hit rock bottom.”
"In the final analysis, it is more difficult for us to make it difficult for Lu Bu. Xiapi City is already at the end of its battle... Now, this is a challenge and a God-given opportunity. Before Lu Bu's morale has recovered, we must seize Xiapi City in one go, otherwise, there will be endless troubles!"
Jia Xu's tone was very serious...
He stated the pros and cons, the key points, and even came to the conclusion that we must work hard to capture Xia Pi.
Huh...Cao Cao exhaled.
From a personal point of view, he is willing to listen to Jia Xu's suggestion, but based on the actual situation, if you want to attack Xiapi in one go? How to attack in one go? This is not a matter of words. Such a high city is so thick.
How can a wall be so easy to break down?
etc…
Cao Cao's thoughts changed rapidly.
Since Jia Xu proposed to attack the city in one go, he must have some good ideas.
"Wen He, when is this happening? Don't be too tight-lipped. If you have any good ideas, just tell me!" Cao Cao hurriedly asked.
Jia Xu shook his head and waved his hands. "Cao Sikong, do I have any good ideas..."
Ah... Why are you pretending to be cool if you don't have a good plan? Cao Cao is a little confused... He thinks Jia Xu is a tease invited by the monkey.
But at this moment.
"But..." Jia Xu protracted the ending and continued, "There is someone who must have a good plan."
Speaking of this, Jia Xu's eyes looked far away through the doors and windows of the Chinese army tent in the direction of Xudu City in the distance.
Over there, thirty miles away from Xu Capital City, the peach blossoms in a villa seem to have begun to bloom, right?
"Cao Sikong, have you forgotten that there is an expert beside us? Since that expert predicted our current situation in advance, he even mentioned - specific problems, specific analysis... Now, isn't it about time?
It’s time to analyze specific issues!”
Phew...specific questions, specific analysis.
Cao Cao was startled at first, and then he suddenly recalled what Yi Xiaotian mentioned...
…It’s better not to recall it, but to recall it.
Cao Cao immediately realized that the current situation, the problem of Xiapi City's high walls and thick walls, was not exactly what Brother Yi had predicted all along.
Hey, I still analyze specific problems in detail. Now that specific problems have arisen, I hope for the stars and the moon, and hope that he will come to analyze and solve them in detail.
When he thought of this, Cao Cao's frown immediately relaxed a lot...
"Zi Xiao, prepare your horses!" Cao Cao ordered hurriedly.
"Here!" Cao Ren understood and quickly walked out of the tent.
"Mengde, what do you want to do?" Xiahou Dun asked curiously, touching his head.
"I'm going to ask about the method of attacking Tiapi City!" Cao Cao's eyes became firm, and the light in them was full of confidence and confidence.
…
…
Spring has begun, and they say that the spring breeze of willows will bloom on March 3rd, and the grass on painted bridges will be green and slender.
Today's Ujian Villa also looks like everything is recovering. The peach forest is still withered, but fresh flowers appear on the branches and leaves...
They are ready to bloom as if they are unwilling to be left alone, as if they are taking the lead in welcoming the arrival of spring.
Outside the peach grove, I could only hear the continuous "bang bang bang" sound of the blacksmith shop.
Yi Xiaotian is forging steel. To be precise, he and Lu Lingqi are forging steel together...
It can be seen from a distance that the two of them are not tall at all, and are even a little thin. They are talking quietly in front of the stove...
Yi Xiaotian's expression was quite calm, while Lu Lingqi's eyes were fixed on the big stove in front of her, as if full of expectation...
No one can associate the appearance of Yi Xiaotian and Lu Lingqi with a big blacksmith.
The picture is so beautiful that I can’t bear to look directly at it!
