Even if I tell you clearly what my strategy is, you can't do anything about it.
He is upright, uses his power to suppress others, and defeats ten groups with one force.
Everyone in Chang'an knew that Chen Mu wanted to move all the people from Guanzhong back to Luoyang to fill the gap, but what could Dong Zhuo do?
As Li Ru said, the only troops and horses that Chang'an can move now are the 10,000 cavalry.
But the problem is that Lu Bu wants to fight, but Dong Zhuo doesn't dare to let him go out to fight.
These 10,000 Xiliang cavalrymen were already Dong Zhuo's base. In a fight with the 30,000 Youzhou cavalrymen, they would lose half in terms of strength alone. Once the entire army was wiped out, Dong Zhuo would vomit blood and die on the spot.
Secondly, the attack on Chang'an really frightened Dong Zhuo's courage. For safety reasons, he had to keep Lu Bu by his side as a bodyguard to protect him.
The Xiliang cavalry was originally commanded by Dong Zhuo himself. Now that Dong Zhuo no longer goes into battle in person, the only one left in his army who can command the cavalry is Lu Bu.
Therefore, if Lu Bu doesn't go, the Xiliang cavalry will naturally become a tiger in a cage. It looks majestic, but in fact has no deterrent effect.
Therefore, in the end, there were many discussions, but no explanation was given. Fearing that Lu Bu and Hu Zhen would quarrel again, Dong Zhuo simply dismissed the meeting and put the issue aside for now.
On the Chang'an side, Dong Zhuo was interrupted by the quarrel between Lu Bu and Hu Zhen. On the other side of the theater, the stalemate lasted for five or six days, and Chen Mu was already a little impatient.
This kid Xu Rong is not very capable. He keeps making tricks one after another, which is quite annoying. He even sent people to set fires before. Although there were no casualties, but he only got beaten and fought back all day long. It was really a very demoralizing thing.
.
Now the morale of the Kwantung Army is not high due to the previous defeat. In addition to the 20,000 reserve troops that Chen Mu brought this time, the other 30,000 troops he brought from Qingzhou were all Big Brother's troops.
These 30,000 soldiers were not in a good mood, and they needed him as the general to play a role in stimulating their enthusiasm.
After thinking for two days, Chen Mu decided to fight back.
On the sixth day, Chen Mu summoned the generals to discuss matters in the general's camp.
Zang Ba followed Zhang Fei to Zuo Fengyi. For the time being, he only had two captains in his command, Zhang Liao and Gaoshun, followed by Zhao Yunxu, Sima Ju, Li Bo, Guan Cheng and other army commanders. All the generals were gathered together, sitting in rows.
The generals sat down, Chen Mu looked around and said to them: "The purpose of our army stationed in the theater is to hold back Dong Jun's main force in Baqiao and cover Gongsun Bogui's relocation of the people, but we can't hold on all day.
, is not the right way, because it is easy to lose the initiative and give the preemptive power to others, so we must take the initiative and not be passively beaten."
Zhang Liao was overjoyed and said: "The Prime Minister is right. "Zuo Zhuan" once said that one against one, the brave will move forward indomitably. Today's army is on the offensive. Although it is on the defensive, the enemy is harassing it, the army is restless, and the soldiers are uneasy. Liao wishes
What does the Prime Minister think of using the vanguard to defeat the enemy head-on, break its momentum, and calm the hearts of the people?"
Isn't this Sun Jian's behavior?
Chen Mu thought about it. Historically, Zhang Liao was an outright iron-headed boy. Not to mention his record of 800, just before 800, he once led thousands of vanguard troops into an army of tens of thousands of Wuhuan Hu cavalry.
, the incident of returning the formation to kill Wuhuan Shanyu Tadun is the famous Battle of Bailang Mountain.
In terms of recklessness, Zhang Liao is not much worse than Sun Jian and Zhang Fei.
But I am not the stupid young man like Liu Bei and Sun Ce.
Lao Yin Bi naturally has Lao Yin Bi's gameplay.
Thinking of this, Chen Mu waved his hand and said: "The siege battle is full of dangers. How can we attack the city first when we are on the defensive? It is not advisable to defeat the enemy head-on."
Zhang Liao couldn't help but wonder: "Then the Prime Minister also said that he would take the initiative?"
Chen Mu smiled and said: "I am annoyed by Xu Rong and plan to beat him up. Don't worry, Dong Zhuo won't watch me move all the people in Guanzhong. When Dong Jun attacks, there will be a battle in the wild.
When the time comes, you and Gao Shun lead the troops to fight together."
Zhang Liao said slightly depressed: "Wei."
Gao Shun on the side showed no emotion or anger, but after hearing Chen Mu's words, he raised his eyebrows and had a hint of joy in the corner of his mouth.
Chen Mu saw this and was very satisfied with Gao Shun, a military training wizard.
It has been two years since Zhang Liao and Gao Shun joined Liu Bei after the Battle of the Wild King. Because of their outstanding performance in the Battle of the Wild King, they were first promoted to Army Sima by Liu Bei, and then slowly promoted to captains within two years.
As a school captain, there should be a school under his command, that is, five thousand people. However, Zhang Liao's subordinates were full, but Gao Shun only kept three soldiers and trained hard.
According to Gao Shun's requirements, these soldiers are all heavy armored infantry.
Others don't know how powerful these soldiers are, but Chen Mu knows that this should be the prototype of "falling into the camp", so Gao Shun will give him whatever he wants, until one day Gao Shun can really practice "falling into the camp"
.
Gao Shun has been training for more than a year now. What he lacks now is actual combat tempering. Only by truly seeing blood and swords can an army be reborn and become an elite.
So it's almost time for Zhang Liao to lead Gao Shun's trapped camp and take the lead in a wild wave to see the actual results.
Chen Mu looked at the crowd and continued: "Today's gathering of generals is to prepare for the attack on the city tomorrow. You will each return to your camp and gather your soldiers. Tomorrow, you will be in front of the two armies to organize your troops and display your banners to strengthen your military power.
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun ordered you two to stay in the camp while the rest of the troops attack."
"only!"
All the soldiers responded with their hands raised.
After the order to attack was given, in the early morning of the next day, all the camp gates in the camps stretching for several miles were opened.
Rows of soldiers lined up, walked out slowly, formed square formations, and set off towards Xinfeng City.
Li Cai on the mountain almost didn't need to remind him. Standing on the top of Xinfeng City, he could see countless small black spots on the plain one kilometer away, approaching the city.
Xu Rong heard the news and hurriedly came to the city to wait and see. He saw the ground outside the city shaking, tens of thousands of people marching forward, flags fluttering, and the sound deafening.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing this scene, Xu Rong's face didn't look very good.
Because he noticed that the appearance of the Kwantung Army was very different this time. Tens of thousands of people were marching forward, and they were uniform and orderly, without a trace of chaos.
Why was Zhang Liao able to kill Tadun at the White Wolf Mountain Formation and defeat Sun Quan outside Hefei City?
It was because at that time, both Wuhuan Huqi and Sun Quan's 100,000-strong army were very disorganized and their formations were not arranged properly, which led to Zhang Liao taking advantage of the chaos to attack and directly give you a central flower.
Therefore, if the army outside the city was in a mess and uneven in appearance, Xu Rong would definitely order an attack on Kaicheng without hesitation and attack with the entire army.
The troops in Baqiao to the east are the main force of Dong's army. Although they are distributed in Xinfeng, Laocheng and Baling counties, Xinfeng City is the bridgehead facing the Kwantung Army. There are 30,000 troops in the city and 30,000 troops.
Xu Rong was 100% sure of victory when he launched a surprise attack on an army of 50,000 soldiers who were not in formation.
But now that he saw the appearance of the enemy's troops, Xu Rong had no idea of opening the door to attack. He could only watch the Kwantung Army slowly walking outside the city.
The two sides were about a mile away, more than 400 meters away, out of reach of bows and arrows.
Zhao Yun led the black armor heavy cavalry to protect Chen Mu. Xu Rong stood on the top of the city and looked at the man below the city who was wearing a white silk gown, a white fox fur, a turban, a scholar's sword hanging from his waist, and boasting about the purple shadow horse.
The beautiful young man's eyelids twitched.
Sure enough it was him.
That man really came back from Qingzhou.
He is the only one who can keep his military appearance so neat and his defenses watertight.
The Kwantung Army came to the outside of the city and rode out in formation on a white horse. Zhao Yun rode a night-shine jade lion and jumped a hundred feet like lightning. He came to the city and challenged: "Zhao Zilong of Changshan is here, who dares to fight with me."
There was silence at the top of the city.
Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong were both famous people at Hulao Pass. With Hua Xiong and Lu Bu, they were directly promoted from a small soldier to an army commander. Now they came to the city to provoke, and they chose to fight because they thought their lives would be long.
Xu Rong saw that no one was talking at the top of the city and his morale was low, so he took out his precious eagle bow, set up the bow and arrows and attacked secretly.
The arrow shot towards Zhao Yun like a meteor.
Zhao Yun's position is about a hundred meters outside the city. It is not possible to shoot with a pistol at this distance, let alone a bow and arrow.
Although Xu Rong's archery skills were not bad, Zhao Yun just used his gun and easily knocked the arrow away.
"Hoo ho ho!"
Seeing that Army Sima was as strong as usual, all the soldiers of the Kwantung Army roared in unison.
"Is that all there is to it?"
Zhao Yun smiled softly and looked up at the city head, full of contempt.
Xu Rong originally wanted to order everyone to shoot arrows, but his heart moved and he suddenly shouted to the people below: "Let Chen Zigui come out and talk."
Zhao Yun turned his head and looked at Chen Mu. Chen Mu nodded, then turned his horse and came back.
After a while, the Chinese army formation separated.
From the sides of the soldiers on both sides, dozens of wooden vehicles covered with iron sheets emerged and were slowly pushed towards the city.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of shield bearers wearing iron armor and holding iron shields followed behind.
There were three floors inside and three floors outside to protect Chen Mu as he headed forward.
The most exaggerated thing is that it seems that it is not safe. Chen Mu put on a cotton armor made of cotton and bamboo, an iron mask on his face, and a helmet on his head, and rode slowly on Ziying.
Come.
Xu Rong watched with his own eyes as Chen Mu put on clothes, armor, and a helmet and a mask in front of everyone. His eyelids kept twitching, his forehead was covered with black lines, and his face became darker and darker.
I have seen people who are greedy for life and afraid of death.
I have never seen someone so greedy for life and afraid of death.
The idea that had just arisen in my heart that when Chen Mu came to the front of the battle, the thought of firing thousands of arrows to kill him was immediately dispelled, and there was no desire to kill at all.
"Xu Rong, I heard that you want to see me?"
Chen Mu came outside the city under the protection of the third floor. He held up the loudspeaker he used to scold Dong Zhuo, looked up at the city and said, "Do you want to surrender? Anyway, you haven't won against me, so why not come to me and do it?"
As a school captain, I guarantee that I will be more comfortable than you at Dong Zhuo's place."
Thanks to the loudspeaker, all the soldiers on the city heard it.
I heard that my general had never won against Chen Mu, and then thinking about the harassment for the past few days, the enemy troops remained unmoved, and for a while they became discouraged, and their morale dropped sharply.
Xu Rong remained calm on the surface, but secretly he waved his hand, letting the soldier manipulating the crossbow secretly aim at Chen Mu, but said: "We haven't seen each other for many days, Chen Shangshu is still so talkative, Rong and Shangshu Ling can be considered old friends, old friends
Is there anything wrong with meeting each other and having another conversation?"
"Old friend?"
Chen Mu was stunned and laughed out loud: "I'm afraid you want me to die."
"Exactly!"
Xu Rong suddenly shouted: "Shoot!"
Whoosh!
The beef tendon strings buzzed, and dozens of arm-thick crossbow arrows suddenly launched, shooting towards Chen Mu like meteors.
Compared with bows and arrows, crossbows are much more powerful, and ordinary shields cannot stop them.
However, Chen Mu was not afraid at all and watched the arrow coming very calmly.
Dong Dong Dong Dong!
Xu Rong obviously underestimated Chen Mu's greed for life and fear of death.
The wooden curtain was not only thickened by three layers, but also laid with iron plates. The person hid behind the wooden curtain. The bed crossbow only penetrated the iron sheet of the wooden curtain, but could not penetrate the wooden curtain at all.
joke.
After Chen Mu invented a new device, how could he mass-produce it without conducting experiments?
These new wooden curtains cannot be penetrated by crossbows or trebuchets.
"Xu Rong, Xu Rong, I have never looked down upon anyone in the Xiliang army, except you."
Chen Mu came out from behind the wooden curtain, held up the loudspeaker, and said disappointedly: "I just didn't expect that after so long, you still haven't made any progress. Can't you do something serious if you study all these fancy things all day long?"
Flashy?
Do you call all the strategies I devised fancy?
Xu Rong's face turned even darker and he shouted: "Then tell me, what is business?"
"It's business."
Chen Mu took off his mask and smiled slightly: "No matter how many bells and whistles you have, I will punch you until your teeth are all over the floor! Back off!"
At the command, the wooden curtain pusher and shield bearer protected Chen Mu and slowly retreated.
The advantage of the bed crossbow is that it is powerful, but the disadvantage is that it takes too long to launch. It takes several minutes to reinstall and launch again.
As soon as Chen Mu withdrew, the bed crossbow had no time to fire again.
When he returned to his formation, the wooden mantle was slowly pushed out again, and behind the wooden mantle were countless catapults...
Xu Rong's eyelids were not only twitching this time, but his hands began to tremble.
Chen Mu is right.
No matter how many fancy tricks you use, if someone hits you with a catapult punch, you will be beaten to the ground immediately!
