Chapter 609: Seizing the City with a Clever Strategy
Gu Ru Bing took Zhang Liao's war report and briefly looked.
"Don't worry, the reinforcements will arrive soon, but because it is the rear, there is no way to support too many people, you let Zhang Liao look at the way to find a way."
Tiefu Tu turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait a moment."
Zhuge Liang held a bag and came in front of the person.
"Give this bag to General Wen Yuan, and say that you can do it as I said on the bag!"
The person who passed on nodded the bag in his arms and turned away.
"Prime Minister, what should we do next?"
"Don't be anxious, we can wait for the news. Don't stop our attack, continue to put pressure on them."
One day later, Zhang Liao Guoran waited for Gu Ru Bing's reinforcements, but there were not many people, only 2,000, but these two thousand people were elite special arms, Yan Yun's eighteen riding.
Zhang Liao opened the bag given by Zhuge Liang. After seeing the things written above, she frowned slightly, but soon understood Zhuge's intention.
After burning the bag, Zhang Liao waved his hand.
"Siege!"
More than 2,000 people, attacking tens of thousands of people, Jiangzhou City, even if Zhang Liao has special arms, it will never be able to take it.
Cao Ren, who was nourishing, heard that Zhang Liao was siege.
"Zhang Liao's child bullies me too much, this person dares to attack the city? Is there no one to bully me in Jiangzhou?"
Cao Ren rushed to the city wall with his injuries.
Looking at the more than 2,000 people in Zhang Liao's hands, Cao Ren snatched the bow and arrow aside, and shot directly to the people of a Yanyun eighteen riding.
One hour later, Zhang Liao knew it was almost.
Immediately ordered to stop the siege.
With Zhang Liao's people withdrawing out, Cao Ren was furious and immediately wanted to send people out and chase Zhang Liao, but was stopped by Li Dian and others.
"Zixiao, you calmly, we are still there, but we are definitely not an opponent to kill us before the battle."
Hearing this, Cao Ren calmed down.
Although Zhang Liao's attack has no effect, Cao Ren has been scared.
Because he saw that the two thousand people led by Zhang Liao were not ordinary people.
"The protagonist has begun to urge our grain and grass. In addition, Liu Bei's attack frequency is faster. If the grain and grass are not available, the front line may not be able to hold it."
Hearing the words, Cao Ren looked at Zhang Liao in the distance.
If you want to transport the grain and grass, you must pass the line of defense of Zhang Liao.
Cao Ren gritted his teeth, and then began to issue an order!
"Li Dian, Cao Chun, Cao Zhen, Yu Jin, Le Jin, let's go out of the city to escort the grain and grass, I don't believe it. Can we not escort the grain and grass?"
"Zixiao, then Jiangzhou City?"
"After we leave the city, we must have a bloody battle with Zhang Liao. After this bloody battle, Zhang Liao must not have much ability to attack the city. Jiangzhou City is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Zhang Liao quietly waited outside the city.
The gate of the city soon opened.
Cao Ren took the grain and the generals, and began to come out of the city slowly.
Originally, Cao Ren thought that Zhang Liao would fight with them, and even every step of the grain team was observing the surrounding woods nervously.
However, after walking for half an hour, Cao Ren still didn't see any danger, and he could not help but skeptical.
Looking at the Jiangzhou city wall behind him, the Cao's flag was shaking with the wind.
Cao Ren thought about it and thought of one thing instantly.
"Li Dian, you take someone to continue to transport grain and grass, and the rest of the one, go back with me, immediately!"
Seeing that Cao Ren was so anxious, everyone did not dare to say more, and followed Cao Ren to hurry back.
However, they just walked in the fragrance, and a group of people appeared in front of Cao Ren.
The head of them is Zhang Liao.
"Zhang Liao? Why are you here?"
"I heard that you are going back? Now that you have gone, what are you going back? From now on, I unilaterally announced that this Jiangzhou City is us."
"What did you say?"
Zhang Liao was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and waved his hand.
Behind the two thousand Yanyun eighteen riders, rushed out.
Cao Ren only brought back more than 10,000 people, just enough to trigger the death of Zhang Liao.
With a bonus of death, more than 10,000 people are in the state of Yanyun Eighteen riders.
Cao Ren knew that Jiangzhou City was dangerous, so he didn't care about this thousand people at all. He took Li Dian and others to have a small number of close relatives and rushed to Jiangzhou City.
However, when Cao Ren and others rushed to the city of Jiangzhou, I saw that the banner on the wall was no longer Cao, but when Liu, Cao Renru was stunned by thunder.
If someone siege the city, he can't keep his affection, but now, he will be lost to Jiangzhou City inexplicably. Cao Cao asked, how should he answer?
"Zixiao, let's go! Jiangzhou is gone!"
Li Dian's urging sound sounded in Cao Ren's ear.
After a while, Cao Ren reacted. Looking at the people on the wall, the armor was obviously the person of the iron floating slaughter.
Although the number of Tiefu Tu is not large, it is obviously impossible to win the wall of the city with more than a thousand people in his hand. You must know that Zhang Liao's reinforcements will return at any time.
"Walk!"
Cao Ren gritted his teeth, and finally decided to take someone away.
After a long time, Zhang Liao took someone back.
The iron floating slaughter on the city wall immediately opened the gate.
"General, there are some food and grass in the city, and some materials, and there are no valuable things left."
Zhang Liao nodded, and then took out the map.
Now, the two cities closest to Fuling have been taken by him.
As long as these two cities are controlled, Cao's army can effectively block the support of the front line.
But the biggest problem now is that he has limited people and is unable to support the defense of the two cities.
Moreover, Zhang Liao guessed that after Cao Ren left, he would definitely take Linjiang City. He had limited people. Even if he took Linjiang City, Cao Ren would probably come back to Jiangzhou City.
In this way, Cao Ren would have a lot of reinforcements, and he only had these two thousand people.
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Liao immediately wrote a letter and sent it to the front line.
Gu Rubing did not expect that Zhang Liao's speed was so fast. He took two cities in a row in just a few days.
"My lord, we need to take Linjiang and Jiangzhou, so that we can completely cut off their food supply. If we take Ba County, we will have the capital to talk to Cao Cao."
Hearing this, Gu Rubing nodded.
This time when he came here, in addition to the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun given to Zhang Liao, as well as the Iron Buddha and the Tiger Bandits of Taishan, he also had a special unit at his disposal, that is, the Blue Dragon Swordman.
Gu Rubing assigned the Blue Dragon Swordman to Zhang Liao.
This was also the last special unit in Gu Rubing's hands.
· When the last Blue Dragon Swordman arrived in front of Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao felt more confident.
Then Zhang Liao arranged two thousand Eighteen Riders of Yanyun to guard Jiangzhou City.
He led all the remaining people to Linjiang City.
When he arrived at Linjiang City, Cao Ren was indeed guarding Linjiang City.
Zhang Liao knew very well how many people were around Cao Ren, so he led people to attack the city directly.
Cao Ren led people to fight Zhang Liao briefly, and immediately realized that he was not the opponent, so he simply took people away.
There were only more than two thousand people, and Zhang Liao had no way to guard all four gates in the city. Zhang Liao had no way to prevent Cao Ren from escaping.
Leaving behind two thousand Qinglong school swordmen, Zhang Liao led the remaining Iron Buddhas, who had been stationed in the wild, wandering between the two cities, ready to take action at any time.
After learning that their retreat was cut off, the Xiahou brothers immediately prepared to send troops to recapture the two cities.
But Pang De's fierce attack on the city forced the Xiahou brothers to give up first.
Xun You came to Cao Ren and said a few words in Cao Ren's ear.
Cao Ren immediately looked at Xun You and nodded after a long time.
Then Cao Ren disappeared on the city wall.
No one knew what Cao Ren was going to do.
Zhang Liao's military camp was stationed at the foot of a barren mountain between the two cities.
No mistake, one sentence, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, take a look!
After inspecting the camp, Zhang Liao was about to go back to rest, and suddenly saw a black shadow flashing by.
"Who is coming out!"
The surrounding Iron Buddhas immediately surrounded Zhang Liao after hearing his voice, and they all looked at Zhang Liao with a puzzled look.
"General, what's wrong?"
"There are outsiders in the camp, search!"
"Yes!"
The surrounding Iron Pagoda began to search.
After several battles, there were only two hundred people left in the Iron Pagoda. The camp was naturally not very large, and the entire camp was soon searched.
"General, no one!"
Zhang Liao frowned slightly when he heard this. He even wondered if he had seen it wrong because he could only rely on torches to illuminate at night?
Returning to his tent, Zhang Liao simply washed his face. At this moment, Zhang Liao suddenly felt a strong wind coming from behind him.
As a famous general who fought on the battlefield, he was too familiar with this feeling. Zhang Liao turned sideways and quickly retreated.
Only then did Zhang Liao see that behind him, at some point, there was actually a man in night clothes standing, holding a long sword in his hand.
Zhang Liao was not familiar with this sword, but the more he looked at the hilt, the more familiar it became.
The silver hilt was the same color as the scabbard that was shot at him at the beginning, and even the pattern on it was very similar.
"Are you the one who attacked me in the woods?"
The man in black did not answer Zhang Liao's words, but waved his sword and rushed towards Zhang Liao again.
Zhang Liao, who had no weapons in his hands, was at a disadvantage in the battle with the man in black. He made a quick move and was stabbed in the arm by the man in black.
The noise of the fight in the tent finally alarmed the people standing guard outside, and several people ran in immediately.
When they saw the man in black, several people shouted immediately.
"There is an assassin."
The voice fell, and the whole camp was boiling.
The man in black turned around and left when he saw this.
A group of people from the Iron Pagoda quickly chased after him.
Zhang Liao also took the opportunity to put on his armor.
However, when the camp was in chaos, a person quietly disappeared from outside the camp into the night.
After searching for a whole day and night, the man in black seemed to have disappeared, and Zhang Liao had to give up.
"Okay, stop looking, let's take a rest."
Looking at the people who had been busy all day, Zhang Liao had to give up and let everyone rest. After all, this place was not quiet, and Cao Cao could send people to counterattack at any time.
Just one day later, Zhang Liao received a notice that Cao Ren was rushing here with a vanguard of more than 10,000 people.
Zhang Liao immediately reorganized the Iron Pagoda and prepared to stop Cao Ren.
However, when Zhang Liao was in ambush and saw the lineup of more than 10,000 people, Zhang Liao gave up directly.
Because among the more than 10,000 people, 5,000 are special troops, namely Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Grave-Moulding Lieutenant and General of the Fa Qiu.
If it were ordinary soldiers, Zhang Liao might not care, but if the other side had special troops, then his number might not be enough.
"Retreat!"
Zhang Liao finally had to give up the plan of sneak attack and quietly followed behind Cao Ren's team.
After tracking for a while, Zhang Liao found that Cao Ren's target was Jiangzhou City.
The 2,000 people of the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun were responsible for the defense here.
Soon the two sides fought.
Cao Ren directly sent the special troops to attack the city, and he was bound to take Jiangzhou City as quickly as possible.
However, this also gave Zhang Liao a big opportunity.
Just after all the special troops in Cao Ren's hands went to attack the city, Zhang Liao rushed out with the Iron Pagoda in an instant.
The whole military camp was in chaos because of Zhang Liao's sudden appearance.
Cao Ren didn't want the situation in the camp to interfere with the siege of the troops in front, so he immediately mobilized all the soldiers in the camp and began to encircle Zhang Liao.
The number of Iron Pagodas was small, but they were all elite. Under the leadership of Zhang Liao, they were extremely flexible, constantly moving around in the camp, rushing left and right.
Cao Ren led people to stop them, but they were no match for Zhang Liao.
In desperation, Cao Ren could only take action, at least to stop Zhang Liao, so that the Cao army in the camp could stop the highly flexible Iron Pagodas.
Cao Ren took out his long knife and rushed towards Zhang Liao.
The two sides fought quickly.
With Cao Ren's action, Zhang Liao's speed did slow down.
Zhang Liao was the leader, and if Zhang Liao's speed slowed down, the speed of the Iron Pagodas would naturally slow down.
Thousands of Cao's troops began to surround the Iron Pagodas.
Zhang Liao fought with Cao Ren for several rounds. After forcing Cao Ren to retreat once, Zhang Liao found that the Iron Pagodas had been surrounded.
Once there is no speed advantage, even if it is an elite, it will not be of much use.
Zhang Liao immediately reacted, got rid of the entangled Cao Ren, and began to rush out of Cao Ren's camp with the Iron Pagodas.
Just as Zhang Liao was preparing for the next charge, a strong wind suddenly appeared.
Zhang Liao waved the Huanglong hook sickle in his hand.
The blade blocked a sword.
The owner of the sword was the man who attacked him before.
"Is it you?"
The man did not speak and began to launch a rapid attack on Zhang Liao.
However, it must be said that using swordsmanship on horseback is very disadvantageous. The horse under you is far less flexible than your own legs. Originally, both of them were famous generals, and the black-clothed man was still a sneak attack. Zhang Liao was indeed a little flustered at first, but Zhang Liao, who adjusted his state, quickly reversed the previous disadvantage.
After a few rounds, Zhang Liao knocked the long sword in the black-clothed man's hand down. When he was about to kill him, Cao Ren rushed over. Zhang Liao had no choice but to change his target and turn to Cao Ren.
The black-clothed man took the opportunity to leave the battle, immediately dismounted, and picked up the sword that fell on the ground.
However, the black-clothed man did not choose to continue to mount the horse, but chose to fight on foot.
