"The Lord's order has arrived."
Zhang Liao looked calm and authentic.
"I have been waiting for this day for a long time. Where will it be this time?" Zang Ba asked, ready to make a move.
"Yingchuan County." Zhang Liao said.
Yingchuan is right next to Runan, so Zangba is no stranger.
"Yingchuan is a place that Cao Cao worked hard to manage. Xu County and Changshe are important towns, and the defense force is not weak." Jia Xu said.
"What the military advisor said is absolutely true. In this operation, the Lord requires us to strike Yingchuan with a thunderous strike as quickly as possible." Zhang Liao said.
"I'm afraid it's not that easy. Yingchuan originally only had 20,000 miscellaneous defenders. After our army captured Runan, Cao Cao sent Le Jin to lead an 80,000-strong army for reinforcements. At this time, Yingchuan's military strength exceeded 100,000." Pang Tong said.
With one hundred thousand Yingchuan defenders, it is not difficult for the Yangzhou Army to capture it under tough conditions, but if you want to capture it as quickly as possible, this will test the commander's ability.
At this moment, the army commanded by Zhang Liao only numbered 120,000. They were still attacking the city, so they were naturally at a disadvantage.
What¡¯s even more embarrassing is that Zhang He¡¯s troops are heavy cavalry, which cannot play a key role in the siege and can only wait on the sidelines.
"No matter how difficult it is, what the Lord has delegated must be completed." Zang Ba said loudly.
Pang Tong rolled his eyes at Zang Ba, and he smiled sarcastically.
Having experienced several battles together, we are already very familiar with each other, so we can communicate without restraint.
If the problem can be solved by shouting a few slogans of loyalty, why do we need a military adviser?
"Don't think about things too simply, nor too complicated. First, we must fully understand the enemy in order to find their weaknesses." Jia Xu said.
Zhang Liao immediately understood what Jia Xu meant. Since there was no specific idea now, he would send troops to Yingchuan and attack the city step by step.
When the time comes, the strategy will come, and nothing can stop it.
"Before this, we must be prepared for Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu to come back." Pang Tong said.
Zhang Liao slapped his head and almost forgot about these two things.
??If you come out to cause trouble at a critical moment, it will also be a big trouble. It is better to have a little precaution.
"Don't worry about this issue. Changwen is already on the way and will bring the 20,000 defenders of Jiujiang County with him." Jia Xu said.
Pang Tong suddenly felt a little ashamed. Jia Xu had already thought of the problem he just thought of and came up with a solution.
¡°Otherwise, Chen Qun wouldn¡¯t have come all the way to Runan.
"Changwen is an expert in internal affairs. I feel relieved when Runan is left in his hands." Zhang Liao breathed a sigh of relief.
Jia Xu nodded gracefully.
Pang Tong thought of one thing, what would happen if Sun Ce sent troops?
You must know that the threats they receive are not only from Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu, but also the threat from Sun Ce is far above them.
After the meeting, Zang Ba, Zhang He and others went to prepare for the expedition. Pang Tong stayed and asked Jia Xu about this issue.
"If Sun Ce wants to attack, it will be in two directions, one is Jiaozhou and the other is Yangzhou. Facts have proved that attacking Jiaozhou, which is well-prepared, will not be of any help to the Central Plains war.
Unless the war in the Central Plains lasts for one or two years, but the lord is very resourceful, the war cannot last for such a long time.
If Sun Ce chooses to attack Yangzhou, it will indeed be a big trouble. However, this is Sun Ce's trouble. There are a total of 200,000 garrison troops in Yangzhou, but the lord has not used any of them. They are all on guard against Sun Ce. Land is absolutely unfeasible.
Unless Sun Ce is ready for a tough battle.
If a critical battle is launched, the lord will laugh in his dreams. Because the Lord deployed a large number of crossbows, coupled with the Yuan Rong crossbows and millions of crossbow arrows, Sun Ce would definitely never come back.
As for the waterway, it is even more unfeasible. Gan Ning¡¯s Chishui Camp dominates the Yangtze River. Moreover, Gan Ning was the mobile defense line deployed by the master. No matter where Sun Ce appeared, Gan Ning would lead his army there.
I don¡¯t need to say more about the combat effectiveness of Chishui Camp, right? Sun Ce learned it personally. "Jia Xu spoke at length.
But Pang Tong listened very carefully and missed every word. For Jia Xu to be able to tell him such a secret was the greatest trust.
"Thank you, Military Advisor Jia, for clearing up the confusion." Pang Tong said.
"I'm telling you all this just to reassure you that our target is Yingchuan. Don't worry about other places. The think tank around the lord is no weaker than you and me." Jia Xu said.
After several battles, Pang Tong has become a little drifting. He deeply reflected on this.
On the other hand, Jia Xu is always unhurried, but his contribution is not much at all and is very low-key.
In order to arouse Pang Tong's fighting spirit, Jia Xu mentioned the battlefield in Jizhou.
Zhuge Liang was awarded!
Pang Tong clenched his fists. He was not ahead of others and needed to work harder.
After a day of preparation, Zhang Liao gave the order and the army left Chen County and marched towards Yingchuan.
According to the report from the scouts, in order to resist Zhang Liao's attack, Yue Jin had abandoned most of the area and stood firm in Xu County and Changshe.
Everyone is no stranger to Xu County, as autumn hunting takes place here.
The Autumn Hunting Agreement was also born here.
The siege has not yet begun, Zhang Liao must deal with it carefully.
If a civilian is killed in Xu County, it will definitely be a serious incident!
So, can the catapults and ballistas still be used?
"I'm afraid my lord never considered this issue when he scolded Fang Qiu in Xu County." Zhang Liao said with a bitter smile.
Originally, it was just a little difficult to siege the city, but now it has become a nightmare level.
"Cao Cao just ordered Yuan Shu to be executed, how could he use the people as a shield again? We just need to be more careful about our next actions," Zhang He said.
"I'm afraid it was accidental damage. The ballista is fine and the accuracy is good. But the catapult is not accurate. Do you still remember Cao Song back then?" Zhang Liao said.
He was killed by one stone.
It has to be said that some people are just unlucky.
"Put away the catapult first." Jia Xu said with a headache. When they first arrived, the situation was indeed not good for them.
Without the catapult, a big killer, the threat to the defenders is also much smaller.
In terms of siege, the ballista is still inferior to the catapult.
After arriving in Xu County, everyone began to set up camp.
Jia Xu and Pang Tong were still discussing whether Le Jin would attack the camp.
In the end, we came to the unanimous conclusion that Cao Cao's order was to stick to it, and Le Jin would not take risks.
In this way, everyone feels relieved, but the sentries that should be there still need to be arranged. If there is no vigilance at all, they are not worthy of being called elites.
The next day, Zang Ba was ordered to go to challenge the battle.
"Little Le Jin, come out and fight me!"
Le Jin raised his head and looked disdainful, as if to say, if you have the ability, come and beat me!
Zang Ba cursed continuously for an hour, his mouth was dry and his tongue was dry. Le Jin listened in silence for an hour.
Nearly suffocated Zang Ba to death.
Le Jin is known for his bravery and heroic spirit. He has been with the army for many years and is Cao Cao's right-hand man. How could he be angered by the Tibetan hegemon's few words?
