Chapter 149 Blitz War ([-])
"My lord, I agree with Feng Xiao and Zhong De's opinions, and this is our only choice at present.
After successive years of fighting, our army's food and supplies have been greatly depleted. If they cannot be replenished in time, all hidden crises will erupt.
With our army's current grain and grass reserves, we can only last two months of war at most. If there is no good result after two months, then our army must withdraw our troops, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. "
After Xun Yu finished speaking, Cao Cao finally made a decision, and the three masterminds under his command agreed, which showed that this was the best choice.
"Brother Ziyuan, you have heard, right? Our army looks glamorous on the surface, but in fact there are dangers lurking inside. If we suffer further setbacks on the battlefield, all conflicts will erupt.
This is the final opinion of our military alliance. If brother Ziyuan can make the decision, then we can discuss the specific details of sending troops. If brother Ziyuan disagrees with this alliance opinion, go back to Wei County early tomorrow. "
Seeing that Cao Cao said this, Xu You's face was a little ugly, knowing that there was no room for discussion, his mind turned quickly.
"Brother Mengde, this alliance has achieved the goal of the lord. I will definitely persuade my lord to send troops when I go back. Brother Mengde should also make early preparations. According to what Mr. Feng Xiao said, send troops to attack Liaocheng first."
"Brother Ziyuan, the important task of mobilizing Brother Benchu to send troops will be placed on your shoulders. Our army will send troops to attack Liaocheng first. If you don't continue to move, then our army will withdraw and return."
After getting Cao Cao's final opinion, Xu You seized the opportunity, discussed the details, and left Puyang early the next morning.
And Cao Cao quickly dispatched Xue Rengui as the vanguard, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan brothers as lieutenants, and sent out all the elite.
The vanguard of Commander Xue Rengui soon arrived at the foot of Liaocheng, and joined with Su Dingfang's army to start the siege of Liaocheng.
"General Xue, you are finally here, with the support of your [-] elite cavalry from Yanzhou, taking Liaocheng is just around the corner.
After you have arrived, you can finally stop Yang Zaixing and Zhao Yun, who are giving me headaches, and I can also attack Liaocheng with all my strength.
Without the harassment of the Fifth Army of the Huben Army, and only relying on the tens of thousands of soldiers in Liaocheng, it is just around the corner to break through the city! "
In Su Dingfang's barracks outside Liaocheng, when he learned that Xue Rengui led cavalry to help, Su Dingfang personally went to the gate to greet him with a very warm attitude.
"Brother Dingfang, how can my lord not know the truth of the dead lips and cold teeth, the Huben army will be handed over to our army, and the siege will depend on you.
You only have three days. If you can't break through Liaocheng in three days, once the Youzhou army reacts, then our army's goal of this battle will fall short, and we can only withdraw to Puyang and stick to it! "
As a veteran on the battlefield, how could Su Dingfang not know the truth of the importance of military speed, using military force to be just and to win by surprise, once the opponent is aware of the purpose, he will be inferior first, and failure is only a matter of time.
"Brother Rengui, don't worry, as long as there is no harassment from the Huben army, if you can't take Liaocheng in three days, then I will have no face to go back to Weijun to meet the lord!"
After a night's rest, Su Dingfang handed over the remaining thousands of cavalry to Xue Rengui's command to stop the Fifth Army of the Huben Army and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Fifth Army of the Huben Army, Gongsun Yue also dispatched the leopard cavalry led by Yang Zaixing, and the tiger cavalry was still under the command of Li Cunxiao for support at any time.
In the early morning of the second day, Yang Zaixing and Zhao Yun took the lead, followed by Xu Huang and Han Meng. Although the Fifth Army of the Huben Army and the Leopard Cavalry had only [-] people, they were not inferior in terms of momentum when facing more cavalry than their own. .
"Zaixing, Gongming, the heavy responsibility of acting as arrows will be given to you two. Don't begrudge the five arrows in succession. If our army can't hold back the enemy's attack, once Liaocheng is breached, then Qingyuan City may not be able to recover." Hold on!"
"Zilong, don't worry, with Gongming and I charging ahead, you and Juzi leading the troops behind, not to mention that there are only ten thousand cavalry standing in front of us, even if there are twice as many cavalry, the tiger and leopard cavalry will not retreat. Half a step!"
After Yang Zaixing finished speaking, he rushed out with the Leopard Rider, followed by Zhao Yun and Han Meng, and the two armies fought under Liaocheng.
After three rounds of arrow rain, the two armies started an encounter battle. Yang Zaixing found Xue Rengui, while Xu Huang fought with Wen Chou.
Although both Yang Zaixing and Xu Huang were at a slight disadvantage, Xue Rengui and Wen Chou couldn't do it with three moves or two if they wanted to take them down.
However, the situation of Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan was a bit worse. Xiahoudun was beaten helplessly by Zhao Yun, but Han Meng and Xiahouyuan had a relationship.
The cavalry led by Xue Rengui and Wen Chou were all elite, although they were slightly inferior to the Leopard Cavalry led by Yang Zaixing, they were better than the Fifth Army of the Huben Army, which was still a new recruit.
Although the Leopard Cavalry led by Yang Zaixing boosted morale at the beginning, as the war fell into a stalemate, the disadvantages of the Fifth Army of the Huben Army gradually became apparent.
Thousands of cavalry under Wen Chou's command had been suppressed and beaten by their opponents, and now they finally found a chance to avenge their humiliation.
After a big battle, the cavalry led by Xue Rengui and Wen Chou also lost more than [-] men. With this kind of consumption, even if they were blocked for three days, they would be powerless to continue to encircle and suppress Qingyuan City.
Compared with the stalemate battle of the cavalry, the offensive and defensive battle between Su Dingfang and Liu Bei became more and more fierce. Without the restraint of the cavalry, Su Dingfang could attack the city with all his strength, and dispatched the most elite troops to continuously attack the four gates of Liaocheng.
Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Yang Feng, and Zhang He who were guarding the walls of Liaocheng looked very ugly. Except for Guan Yu who stayed on the plains, most of the elite were brought to Liaocheng.
Although there are [-] elites among them, most of them are recruits. In addition, the troops are at a disadvantage. In the past, the Huben Army was holding back and could still hold on to the city wall. Now that the Huben Army is blocked, today the enemy army has attacked the city wall several times. .
If this trend continues, Liu Bei understands that the city will be destroyed sooner or later. If Zhang Fei, Yang Feng, and Zhang He hadn't fought the enemy bravely today, and he himself went to the city to supervise the battle with his sword, he might not be able to hold it for a day.
"General Xue, after today's siege, I have a greater confidence in breaking Liaocheng in three days!
Although our army's attack on the city suffered a lot of losses, the defensive equipment of the defenders in the city has long been exhausted. All they can rely on is a little advantage of location! "
After the war, Su Dingfang finally let out some of the depression that had been pent up in his heart for so long today.
The morale of the generals in the account was also high. Although the loss today was not small, the confidence of the generals in the capture of Liaocheng was also a little bit higher.
Thank you book friends for voting and rewarding, Yanyu will continue to work hard to update!
