Chapter 3207 Don't let up in the slightest
It is enough for a general to be proud to be able to do this. This shows that the soldiers in the army have absolute confidence in their commander-in-chief.
After Lu Bu arrived with an army of 40,000, he went directly outside the city.
The 40,000-strong army set up a battle formation, which was even more shocking than the 10,000-strong army led by Zhao Yun. Currently, there are more than 20,000 defenders in the city, but after the arrival of the Jin army, they suppressed the city in terms of numbers.
Suppression will have a greater effect when attacking a city.
Cao Cao appeared at the top of the city again. He also saw the flags representing the royal family among the Jin army. If such a situation were placed on him, Cao Cao would choose to do this and pursue the princes who had reached the end of their rope.
If you fight hard, you can get many benefits.
Cao Cao wanted to use Yanzhou as the basis to develop his strength again and form a confrontation with Lu Bu. How could Lu Bu give up attacking Yanzhou at this time?
The generals of both sides did not come out to meet. At this time, the so-called meeting is no longer important. In the following war, it is the time for the generals and counselors of both sides to compete with each other in a battle of wits and courage. If they want to gain something in the process of the battle,
A greater advantage requires more effort.
The soldiers of Cao's army may not have much confidence in this battle, but the soldiers of Jin's army are fully prepared to attack the city. As long as the army's baggage arrives, they can launch an attack on the city.
In the center of the army, Lu Bu is sitting at the top. In the tent are Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Chen Gong.
"Now that our army has arrived in Yanzhou, Cao Cao's army must be sticking to the city and not daring to go out to fight with our army. Cao Cao wants to use the city to consume the strength of our army." Lu Bu sighed.
"Your Majesty, our army's food and grass can only last for two months at most. If we cannot conquer Yanzhou within two months, our army will have no choice but to retreat from Yanzhou." Jia Xu said.
This is also the news from Chang'an. The war has left Chang'an's treasury empty. The consumption of the war is too huge. Although the Jin army has won the battle, it has squandered many years of accumulation. However, as long as Cao Cao can be defeated,
If it can be eliminated, all this will be worthwhile in Lu Bu's eyes. If Cao Cao cannot be eliminated, Cao Cao will definitely become a serious trouble in the future.
"For the matter of food and grass, we can think of a way to send an order to Chang'an to send officials as soon as possible to stabilize the situation in Jingzhou, Xuzhou and Yuzhou. We must not relax at all. As for the city of Changyi, it is natural to break it, but before breaking Changyi,
First occupy the other counties in Yanzhou." Lu Bu said slowly.
"Your Majesty is wise." Everyone said in unison.
After occupying the other counties in Yanzhou, once the city of Changyi is captured, Cao Cao's army will face a situation with no way out. Since Cao Cao wants to resist the Jin army's attack in Changyi, Lu Bu will make Changyi his burial place.
Cao Cao made his fortune in Yanzhou, and now that he was defeated in Yanzhou, it would be a good choice.
"Fengxiao is responsible for liaising with the aristocratic families in the city, and Gongtai and Wenhe are responsible for the army's attack on Changyi and sending troops to other counties." Lu Bu said.
"Here." The three of them stood up and said.
News of the arrival of the army led by Lu Bu spread like wildfire in the city. The most famous person in the world at this time was none other than Lu Bu. In battle after battle, Lu Bu led the army with a dazzling light. How many powerful enemy troops
, fell to the butcher's knife of the Jin army, and now, the Yanzhou Army is about to face the attack from the Jin army. Whether it can persist in this battle depends on whether the Yanzhou Army can go under the attack of the Jin army.
What kind of situation.
To be fair, the generals who followed Cao Cao back to Yanzhou were not very optimistic about this battle. Cao Cao's army was so powerful at the time, and the capital of Xu was stronger than Changyi. It was also broken by the enemy, but Cao Cao was the monarch.
, and Cao Jun has reached this point. If he cannot continue to fight, the elite Cao Jun who once dominated the world may disappear.
This situation is not what Cao Cao wants to see, nor is it what Cao Cao's generals are willing to face. Only by continuously winning victories against the enemy can the generals in the army gain a higher status.
Different from the current situation, even if all the generals among Cao Cao's generals are made important generals, it will be difficult to change the urgent situation of Cao Cao's army. The generals and generals in the army will also not feel comfortable. What the generals in the army need is the peace after victory.
Give rewards instead of rewards before fighting a strong enemy.
Rewards before a battle are, in most cases, intended to improve the morale of the army's officers and soldiers against the enemy.
Hao Zhao and Xia Houen are responsible for things in the west of the city. The Jin army outside the city is not a trivial matter. The most important thing is that the enemy army is not only superior in attacking the city, but also probably has other means inside the city.
Just like in Xudu City, the Jin army's siege made people in the city panic. Many aristocratic families betrayed Cao Cao at such a time.
What would be the outcome of the same war in Yanzhou? Hao Zhao and Xia Houen did not dare to make too many guesses. What they had to do was to do their best to defend the city at this time and not allow the enemy to take advantage of it.
Opportunity, even if there is rebellion in the city, they cannot be given a chance to approach the city gate.
Cao Cao said three months. They believed that if the enemy army could not conquer Changyi in three months, they would definitely retreat.
"General Hao, the enemy has dispatched 50,000 people this time. Within a few days, their baggage will be delivered." Xia Houen sighed.
Hao Zhao smiled and said: "General, although the Jin army is brave, Changyi City is four feet high and cannot be broken by the enemy in a short time. If the enemy army lacks the support of food and grass, what can it do even if the Jin army is brave and good at fighting?
.”
Xia Houen nodded. In fact, many generals in the army had this idea. They hoped that the Jin army would lack food and grass support in this battle. In fact, Cao Jun himself also had some problems with food and grass.
During the war, Yanzhou contributed a lot of grain and grass to Cao's army. In fact, there was not much grain and grass in the treasury. This is because after Cao Cao arrived, he ordered various places to step up the transportation of grain and grass.
However, there was no food and grass delivered to the city further away. When the Jin army had already arrived outside the city, it was not easy to transport food and grass into the city. There were many cavalry in the Jin army, and they would receive the food and grass for the Yanzhou army.
What's the chance? I'm afraid that the food and fodder that will follow will be used by the Jin army.
The Jin army arrived too fast, which was difficult for Cao Jun to control. Although the Jin army was ten miles away from the city, the Jin army's scouts took Changyi City as the center and deployed a large number of scouts thirty miles around.
