Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1051 Duel King Zhao Yun

Chapter 1049: One-up King Zhao Yun

The Qin army occupied four counties in Hanoi, while Su Dingfang had only [-] troops in his hands, [-] of which were reorganized Liang army prisoners of war, but he was facing Wang Mang's [-] troops.

There is a huge difference in the strength of the two sides. If they divide their troops and defend to the death, even if they can defend in the end, they will definitely lose a lot of troops.

Su Dingfang is not willing to see the loss of the place of preservation. What he wants is to achieve the greatest victory with the lowest casualties.

Therefore, Su Dingfang did not take a completely defensive position, but concentrated all the defense equipment in Chaoge, and the remaining three counties were all strategically abandoned, and concentrated their forces to defend the city of Chaoge to prevent Wang Mang's army from threatening Henan Yin.

After ensuring the stability of Chaoge City, Su Dingfang still did not directly defend the city. He would not let Wang Mang get the three counties so easily.

Su Dingfang set up various obstacles to hinder and delay Wang Mang's marching speed. At the same time, he led the main force out of the city and adopted mobile warfare to concentrate his forces to attack the enemy's weak points.

Wang Mang's commander attribute is 90 points, and his ability to command troops is not weak. There is no problem at all in commanding an army of [-] to [-], but he is not capable of commanding an army of [-]. What's more, he is facing a generation of famous generals this time. Su Dingfang.

Wang Mang was full of confidence in this battle, but he was completely stunned by Su Dingfang not long after he marched. Su Dingfang's operations seemed familiar to him no matter how he looked at them.

What is it?Oh, by the way, isn't this Grandpa Mao's guerrilla warfare?

When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we advance; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack;

This Su Dingfang is simply a true biography of Grandpa Mao.

Wang Mang, as a member of the third generation of the Red Dynasty, of course it is impossible not to know the sixteen-character dialect, but it is one thing to know it, but another thing to decipher it!

Wang Mang didn't expect that in the first battle of the second crossing, he would have to face such an almost incomprehensible combat method. He is still a newcomer to the battlefield. Is it necessary to increase his moves as soon as he comes?

Wang Mang read a lot of military books before crossing for the second time, so even though he knew it was difficult to crack, he still wanted to try, but the result was naturally terrible.

Su Dingfang came and went quickly, Wang Mang could not give full play to his superiority in military strength, but with the same number of troops, his command ability was far inferior to Su Dingfang, and he was suppressed by him in several consecutive fierce battles.

After paying a considerable price, Wang Mang finally understood the gap between himself and the famous generals. He secretly made up his mind in his heart that after recruiting the famous generals of Commander Gao, he would never lead the army in battle again.

It's really not anyone's ability to lead troops to fight!
Although Wang Mang was inferior to Su Dingfang in terms of command, he only needed to know how to employ people. Although he didn't have a famous general under his command, he borrowed a famous general with a high command from Chen Qingzhi. He was the founding emperor of the Chen Dynasty, Chen Baxian.

Wang Mang didn't expect that Chen Baxian would also get up with Chen Qingzhi. Since they came, of course the role of these two people should be maximized, so he separated Chen Qingzhi and Chen Baxian. Chen Qingzhi led the army alone, while Chen Baxian followed him. Just in case.

Wang Mang was very grateful for his original decision, otherwise he might not be able to step down, so he handed over the temporary command of the army to Chen Baxian and asked him to deal with Su Dingfang.

Chen Baxian did not disappoint Wang Mang's expectations. In the confrontation with Su Dingfang, Chen Baxian did not fall into a disadvantage, and the casualties of the army stopped.

Wang Mang relied on Chen Ba to make up for his shortcomings in command first, and then he wanted to use his strengths in intelligence and tried every means to force Su Dingfang to fight him.

Su Dingfang still had Fang Xuanling by his side, so how could he fall into Wang Mang's scheme so easily?
Wang Mang saw that Su Dingfang not only failed to fall for the scheme, but was able to plot against him in reverse. Of course, he knew that Su Dingfang had expert advice by his side, so he had no choice but to speed up the march and lead the army to Chaoge City as soon as possible. Su Dingfang would naturally have nothing to hide Can hide.

With the joint efforts of Su Dingfang and Fang Xuanling, it took Wang Mang more than half a month to occupy the three county towns that Su Dingfang had strategically abandoned. When Wang Mang led the army to arrive at the city of Chaoge, he was shocked to find Chaoge's identity. The defensive power far exceeded his imagination.

Is this really Chaoge City?

Not only Wang Mang, but even Chen Baxian couldn't believe that a mere Chaoge was so strong.

You must know that the Chaoge City at this time is not the Chaoge City in the Yin and Shang Dynasties. After the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Zhou Dynasty, Chaoge City has completely declined. During the Warring States Period, it was even reduced to ruins several times, and then underwent several reconstructions. Chaoge is just a small county town.

But such an inconspicuous small county was actually built into a fortress by Su Dingfang, which gave Wang Mang the illusion that he was invincible.

"General, this city is not suitable for a strong attack. Su Lie has deployed a large number of catapults and crossbows on Chaoge City. A strong attack will inevitably cause heavy casualties. I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the prefects." Chen Baxian said with a serious face.

Although Chen Baxian's name is domineering, he is actually a Confucian general. He is extremely smooth in his dealings with others, and his speech is also very measured, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.

It's a pity that he is a rebellious boy.Wang Mang sighed in his heart.

Wang Mang himself started by usurping the throne, and facing Chen Baxian, who also started by usurping the throne, Wang Mang naturally couldn't have a good impression, but now he can use Chen Baxian's military ability.

Of course Wang Mang knew that he could not attack by force. He sent troops this time to strengthen the confidence of the southern princes, and if the loss of troops was too serious, even if he won, the disadvantages would outweigh the advantages.

"I don't know if Xingguo (Chen Baxian's word) has a clever plan to help Ben break this fortified city?" Wang Mang asked with a smile.

After pondering for a while, Chen Baxian said: "The morale of our army is low now, and it is difficult to break through the city by force. It is better to send generals to challenge and raise morale first by fighting."

Hearing this, Wang Mang smiled wryly in his heart, general?Do you think I don't want to fight generals?But the key is that Su Dingfang has the heads-up king Zhao Yun!

Wang Mang had already suffered from Zhao Yun in the previous battle.

At that time, Zhao Yun led a partial army to attack. Wang Mang knew how powerful Zhao Zilong was in Changshan, so he sent his generals Wang Xian and Wang Gangchang to fight together. But who knew that Huang Zhong was also sent by Su Dingfang, and Huang Zhong helped Zhao Yun block Wang Xian. .

Although Wang Gangchang was the No.16 general in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he quickly fell behind in the face of Zhao Zilong, the second general of the Three Kingdoms.

Just when Wang Gangchang was about to be defeated, two generals Wang Lin and Ai Zhang joined forces to help the battle, but when they arrived, Wang Gangchang had already been beheaded by Zhao Yun, and another general died in Zhao Yun's hands.

Wang Lin and Ai Zhang, who came to help the battle, were furious and joined forces to fight Zhao Yun, but they were still beheaded by Zhao Yun one after another, and they didn't even have a chance to escape.
