Chapter 793 In vain is Xiao Wenhe
“Based on the current situation, when will the city be broken?”
Guan Ji found a good position so that she could watch the rumbling stones falling on Cao Thief's city wall.
A kind of eerie beauty appeared on his extremely handsome face.
"Back to the general, the stone cannon assembled in one day is not too big. If you want to break the city, you will probably have to wait two or three days."
Wenshi replied quickly.
The engineering battalion is probably the army with the highest average academic level and the most professionalism in the world.
Military merit is currently the best way for the Han Dynasty to cross social classes.
In Nanxiang Academy, only the students with the best talents are eligible to join the military.
The best one is to serve as a staff officer next to Commander Feng Shan, and the second best one is to serve as a technical soldier in the engineering battalion.
In addition to having a certain foundation in mathematics, the driver who directs the trebuchet must also be very familiar with the various units and numerical standards promoted by Nanxiang.
Because stone rip trucks have different specifications, each specification has different components, and different components have different standards.
Compared to other colleagues who only know it but don't know why, the soldiers of the engineering battalion who protect the Qiang Xiaowei Mansion represent professionalism.
Because of professionalism, it is powerful.
"Two to three days? That's too fast. I'll give you five days. You want to break the city wall on the fifth day. Can you do it?"
Guan Ji looked at the city wall over there and asked.
"General, two days is the best..." Wenshi subconsciously took over and suddenly felt something was wrong, "Ah? General, you mean, five days?"
Guan Ji nodded, "Yes, it's five days."
"This, after five days, the general...well, we can only try it. The engineering camp has never tested this aspect..."
Wenshi couldn't turn his head around at once, so he stuttered.
In all the tests in the engineering camp, the only ones that were faster, fiercer, and more brutal were the ones.
Tear down all the walls that stand in front of them, is their slogan.
They even applied to transport a batch of cement from Nanxiang to simulate the hardness of the walls of a big city like Chang'an in order to get better data.
No one ever thought that any coach would ask them to break the city slower.
“If the city is destroyed too quickly, the Cao thieves in Linjing will not have time to react. If they give up the rescue and concentrate their forces in Linjing, then we will not be able to defeat them one by one.”
There was a smile in Guan Ji's eyes that seemed both proud and mocking:
“Since the Northern Expedition, Junhou has become famous in Guanzhong in the past two years. Cao Cao’s thieves heard that Junhou led the army out of the pass, and they will definitely focus on defense. As long as Junhou does not show up, they will not dare to fully reinforce this side.”
"As long as we are not in a hurry to break Wushi City, Cao Cao will always focus on the king. This is our best opportunity."
Wushi City is not the focus, the focus is Jingyang City downstream of Wushi City, which is the last gateway to stability.
How to open the stable door without the Cao thief reacting is the top priority.
"General, the elite troops led by the monarch are good at rushing into attacks, and all Han thieves know it. Now the general leads the army out of Xiaoguan, and will reach the Wushi city in two days."
"If the thief Cao Cao decides that the soldiers led by the general are the elite of the captain's mansion, what should he do?"
Accompanying Guan Ji to inspect the enemy city were Zhang Ni, Jufu and other military generals. When he heard what Guan Ji said, Zhang Ni couldn't help but feel worried.
Guan Ji smiled slightly and said, "General Zhang, just the name of a prince is worth tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the land of Guanliang. Do you believe it or not?"
It makes sense for Mrs. Guan Sanniang to praise her Alang like this.
During the Liangzhou Rebellion, the army of the Later Han Dynasty in Longyou was almost completely wiped out. Only Fu Xie defended Jicheng alone with a small army.
Later the rebels besieged the city, and there were thousands of Huns cavalry among the rebels. They all kowtowed outside the city, begging him not to resist and to be willing to **** him back to his hometown. His prestige was so great.
Now that Longyou is under the rule of the Han Dynasty, there will naturally be no more rebellions by the Hu people.
But if Alang is not in Longyou one day, someone will administer the government indiscriminately, causing the Hu people to rebel.
Guan Ji believed that even if Alang rode alone to the rebel camp, the Hu people would respectfully **** him back.
Taking a step back, even if Alang was in Fu Xie's predicament, the treatment Alang received from the Hu people might not be much worse.
Of course, with his temperament, Alang would not directly agree to the request of the Huns. He would first stabilize the rebels, and then use clever words and tricks to instigate Hu Qi.
After all, the clever words make Feng Langjun...
Hum, this idea is so rude.
In addition to being respected by the Hu people, Alang has repeatedly defeated the Cao thieves over the years and has made great military achievements. In addition, with the reputation of "Xiao Wenhe", who dares to despise the Cao thieves?
Anyway, as long as his Alang raises his banner, he will be worth so many elite soldiers, that’s for sure.
Not only Guan Ji felt so about this, but even Zhang Yi said without hesitation: "The general will naturally believe it."
There are many people who don’t believe it, but the final facts will always teach them to be human beings, including being ghosts, of course.
“So General Zhang feels that if the Cao thieves decide that we are the main force and fully reinforce Wushi City or Jingyang City, how will they react when they find that the king and his army appear in the north?”
“I was cheated!” Zhang Ni blurted out.
“Yes, no matter who it is, they will think that they have been deceived.”
Guan Ji nodded, "They will only think that the monarch will lead a large army to attack the helpless Yuezhi City, and then attack Linjing, preparing to cut off their retreat."
Zhang Yi can completely imagine that in this case, Cao's thieves would only withdraw from Jingyang as quickly as possible and return to defend Linjing.
This is equivalent to giving up the door to stability.
Unless they dare to take the army led by the king seriously, and believe that the king cannot conquer Linjing, they are determined to fight with the suspected soldiers to the end in order to guard the stable gate.
In this regard, Xia Houmao, Pang Hui, Zhang He, uncles and nephews of the Zhang family and others all expressed that they had something to say.
After thinking about this, Zhang Ni, Jufu and others were suddenly enlightened and said with admiration on their faces: "Good advice, General."
Guan Ji shook her head: "This is the initiative of the Lord. It is not my plan to use one's body as bait."
Jufu said quickly: "The courage of the king is indeed extraordinary."
This flattery is a bit rough.
After all, he led the fine cavalry of Xiaowei Mansion and a large number of Hu Qiyi soldiers, totaling more than 10,000 cavalry to serve as bait.
If the fish that bites the hook is not big enough, it may be directly killed by the bait.
This kind of courage in making bait is indeed not very common.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with saying it is extraordinary.
Although Guan Ji intended to slow down the attack on the city, the defenders of Wuzhi City still felt that the Shu captives were attacking the city in a hurry.
When his letters for help arrived in Linjing and Yuezhi City on the same day, Xiahou Ba slapped the case angrily:
"The guard of Wushi City must be executed! Feng Yong has not yet shown up, and he dared to claim that he is an elite Shu captive. He is lying about the military situation, and he must be punished for his crime!"
“General, the scout found traces of Thief Feng!”
"What?!" When Xiahou Ba heard this, he immediately threw away his anger, "Where is Thief Feng now?"
“As the general expected, Thief Feng took a long detour and came from the north.”
“Have you found out clearly? Is it definitely Feng Thief?”
Xia Houba has been living like a year these past few days. He was afraid of missing Feng Thief's whereabouts. Now that he suddenly got the news, he couldn't believe it.
“General, the commander-in-chief of the Shu captives is undoubtedly Feng Thief! Many Hu people in the north also saw Feng Thief’s army, with a total of at least tens of thousands of troops.”
"That's right!" Xiahou Ba smacked his palm, "I know Feng Thief will definitely want Yuezhi City in the end!"
The Shu Lu of Wu's City was pretending to be a huge momentum, but it wanted to attract the army of Linjing City and wanted to create opportunities for Feng thief.
After receiving the exact information about Feng Thief, Xiahou Ba finally calmed down.
The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.
For those veterans on the battlefield, Feng Thief may not be too scary.
But for Xiahou Ba, he had fought under the command of Cao Zhen in the past and did not have much experience in leading an army independently.
Feeling that Feng Wenhe, who was hiding in the dark, was like a poisonous snake, so vicious that he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Now that this poisonous snake is exposed to the sun, for Xiahou Ba, it is equivalent to losing most of its deterrent power.
“Come here, please pass this news to Governor Hu and ask him to bring people to Yuezhi City as soon as possible.”
Xiahou Ba stared at the map and gritted his teeth and said, "I want to see what other tricks you, a young man, can come up with!"
Everyone can say harsh words, but you still have to be careful about what you should be careful about.
Xiahou Ba was naturally prepared for what he expected.
In addition to constantly building Yuezhi City, he also specially asked his sergeants to kill many straw men.
After learning that Feng Yong was leading the army, he ordered these straw men to be placed in a hiding place at the top of the city, with their armor and other clothes faintly exposed, as if there were many defenders and a tight defense.
When more and more Cao Wei scouts appeared around the army, Feng Yong knew that his position had been exposed.
So he relaxed his speed and led the army in a hurry, arriving at Yuezhi City and setting up camp thirty miles away.
“Brother, it seems like Thief Cao is well prepared!”
Zhao Guang followed Feng Yong to the Yuezhi City to observe. Looking at the layout of the city, he couldn't help but said with some surprise:
"This Xiahou Ba is indeed a good general as my brother said."
“It’s true that a good general is a good general, but it’s not necessarily a good preparation.”
Feng Yong held up a telescope worth half a million yuan and carefully scanned the city. He couldn't help laughing, and then handed the telescope to Zhao Guang, "See for yourself."
Zhao Guang took it and looked at it, "Hey, there is something strange at the top of the city."
“In the past, when Cao Pi was conquering Wu, Wu general Xu Sheng used wood as a trunk and covered it with reeds to build a fake city that stretched for hundreds of miles. He also built a large floating boat on the river.”
"Cao Pi looked at the river and thought that the Wu people were strong, so he was timid and did not dare to cross the river. This Xiahou Ba followed the Wu people's old plan. If it had been anyone else, he would have been frightened by him.
“But I don’t know that I have a plug-in in my hand. How can this trick deceive me?”
Feng Junhou pointed at Yuezhi City and laughed.
“Brother, what is a plug-in?”
“The telescope is just a plug-in.”
Zhao Guang was eager to try, "Brother, how about we change the plan and attack the city directly?"
"So what if we capture Yuezhi City? There is a large army of Cao thieves stationed in Linjing. They should have come this way by now. Should we defend or retreat by then?"
Feng Yong glared at Zhao Guang and reprimanded, "Being greedy for small gains and losing the overall situation is not the way to be a general."
Zhao Guang smiled awkwardly: "Brother taught me a lesson."
Then he looked at Yuezhi City and asked, "Brother, what should we do now?"
"Since Xiahou Ba wants to use suspicious soldiers to hold us back and wait for the arrival of the Linjing army, then we will comply with his wishes."
Feng Yong showed a sly smile on his face, "He will use the tactic of suspicion, and we can also learn from him."
Zhao Guang didn’t quite understand: “Brother, we already have an advantage over Cao Cao, why should we do this?”
“Since the Cao thieves were able to make these preparations in advance, it means that they had expected us to come.”
"Then why don't we comply with their wishes and let them see what they want to see? Strengthen their confidence."
At present, it seems that everything in Wei State is following its own script, so it will be much easier to handle.
Feng Yong said with a relaxed expression, "In this way, Sanniang will be more confident."
In fact, the military strength of the Qiang Guards Mansion is roughly the same as that of Anding County, although the number is roughly the same.
But without external aid, it is not difficult at all to capture Anding County with the troops on hand.
The most difficult thing is the Chang'an Wei army behind Anding County.
As long as Cao Zhen's IQ is above the human average, then he will definitely keep an army in Chang'an as a reserve.
How to kill the Wei army in An Ding before the Wei army in Chang'an can react, capture Anding County, and threaten Chang'an.
Forcing Wei Jun's Chang'an reserve force to go north to defend himself from going south, and unable to reinforce Cao Zhen in the south, this was Feng Yong's final goal.
If this goal cannot be achieved, then it is also acceptable to take a step back, break through the gate of stability, and go south to confront the Wei army in Linjing.
In short, the most basic requirement this time is to mobilize part of the Wei army in Guanzhong so that Cao Zhen cannot attack Hanzhong with all his strength.
Whether we can capture Anding County depends on the situation.
As for how Cao Zhen and Zhuge Laoyao fight in the south, that is their business.
"In the next two days tomorrow, as long as the Linjing Cao thieves really come to rescue us, then we can be 70% sure of achieving our goal by sending troops this time. The rest depends on how much luck God is willing to give us."
Feng Yongyong didn’t know how lucky God had given him, but Xiahou Ba felt that his luck was good.
He climbed to the top of the city tower and looked far into the distance, looking at the densely packed camps of Shu captives, which were so numerous that it was frightening.
After a rough estimate, the opponent actually had at least 30,000 people.
Xiahou Ba couldn't help but rejoice in his heart: Fortunately, he had reached this level, otherwise his stability would be in danger!
Hu Zun from Linjing also breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the news from Feng Yong: Feng Thief, it’s in vain that you dare to call yourself Xiao Wenhe, you’ve finally been fooled by us!
Thinking of the Shu captives on the other side of Wushi City, who seemed to have a large number of troops. Facing Wushi City with only a few soldiers, they only dared to throw rocks with catapults and never arranged for soldiers to attack the city.
It seems that he is just deliberately trying to make a big noise.
At the moment, he immediately sent an urgent message to Wushi City and Linjing, informing them of the whereabouts of the main force of Feng Thief, and at the same time asked the Jingyang City garrison to lead the army to Wushi City.
If you are looking for an opportunity, you can defeat Shu's partial army and gain military exploits.
After arranging all this, Hu Zun led the Wei army, the main force of stability in Linjing City, and hurried to Yuezhi City.
