Chapter 782 During the Battle of Jingzhou City

"Why don't we slow down the speed of Jingping's first army going south?" Xi Zhicai said: "Jingping's first army suffered a lot of injuries in the battle of Xiangyang, this is a fact, we have enough reasons to rest for a while! "

"no!"

But Mu Jing shook his head lightly: "If we didn't go south, there are good reasons, but since we have already gone south, it proves that we have fighting power. Deliberately delaying the speed of going south at this time is not good for our image in Liu Yanxin!"

"But we can't let Jingping's first army become a victim!!" Xi Zhicai's voice became a little excited.

"Of course I won't let the Jingping First Army become a victim!"

Mujing stood up.

He took out some maps from a small bookshelf behind him and put them on the desk.

The map made by Mujun is rare in the world. Each map is very rigorous in describing the terrain. In every scouting team, there will be a mapper who is good at describing terrain. This is from the establishment of Mujing During the Jingping camp, the rules were handed down.

He opened up a few maps, which were the research of the terrain around Jingzhou City by the Mu army in the early stage, especially the northern suburbs, which would be the battlefield of the Jingping First Army.

"If we want our Jingping First Army to not become Zhang Ren's stepping stone to enter Xiangyang, we can only break through the city first. As long as we break through Jingzhou City, Zhang Ren will have no reason to second my troops. !"

Mu Jing said in a deep voice: "Participating in the war actively will also increase Liu Yan's trust in me!"

"But Jingzhou City is too strong!"

Xi Zhicai pointed to the location on the map: "I have carefully surveyed the area, and there are almost no weaknesses in the north area. There are only a few thousand troops in the city defending where it is, and it will make it difficult for our troops to advance!"

"It's the rainy season!"

Mu Jing said suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Xi Zhicai froze for a moment, and then his eyes became a little terrified.

"Han water!"

Mu Jing pointed at the Han River in a low voice.

This is the river channel where the Han River flows into the Yangtze River. It flows downstream from the north. At this time, the water is rising and the current is very fast. Once it is cut off from the upper reaches, then...

The scene of flooding the three armies can be created.

"Are you crazy?"

Xi Zhicai's eyes widened: "From the upstream, the downstream is hundreds of miles away. Once the water floods, all villages and towns will be attacked. The most important thing is Jingzhou City. Jingzhou is the main city. Dozens of Tens of thousands of people, once covered with water, probably not even one-tenth of them survived, it would really be a pile of bones and corpses strewn all over the field, what a crime to commit to attack Jingzhou City!"

Since ancient times, attacking by flooding and fire has been a common practice on the battlefield, but some tricks cannot be used, because it will bring disaster to the fish pond, and there must be a certain limit, otherwise it will cause public indignation all over the world, and the gain outweighs the gain.

He did not believe that Mu Jing would sacrifice millions of lives for a battle in Jingzhou City.

"Stay but don't attack!" Mu Jing spat out another word.

"False trick?"

Only then did Xi Zhicai become a bit shocked: "It may not be possible to make them believe it!"

"It's not true!" Mu Jing smiled: "If you do it truthfully, people will believe it!"

"How to do it?"

"You go to offer advice, but don't say it's a false move, but a real move. The more realistic the Yizhou Army does, the better this scene will be played!"

Mu Jing said: "Then let Jingping's first army fight for this task, and we will decide whether or not to drive the flood at that time!"

"Who will startle the snake?"

Xi Zhicai asked.

"Yizhou military camp is a place where the wind leaks. If you offer advice, someone will pass the news to Jingzhou city!" Mu Jing smiled lightly.

"No way!"

Xi Zhicai frowned slightly.

"Humph!"

Mu Jing snorted coldly: "I only discovered one thing recently, in fact, Liu Biao and Liu Yan's defense against each other is much deeper than we imagined, so it's not surprising that Liu Biao is hiding something here!"

"Then I'll give it a try!"

Xi Zhicai went to the camp the next morning, went to Liu Yan's case in person, and offered his strategy.

"what?"

Liu Yan was reviewing the Minsheng memorial book from Yizhou, when he heard Xi Zhicai's words, he raised his head suddenly: "Zhicai, you said you could break into Jingzhou city within half a month, is that true?"

"I don't dare to deceive my lord. This subordinate does have a plan to break the city. Although I'm not sure, but I think that instead of attacking by force and damaging the soldiers, we can try this method!" Xi Zhicai said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Say!"

Liu Yanlai became interested.

"Flood the city with water!" Xi Zhicai said.

"Flooding the city with water?" Liu Yan's pupils flickered slightly, and his eyes changed slightly when he looked at Xi Zhicai: "Tell me in detail!"

"My lord, please look at the map!"

Xi Zhicai took out a map from his long sleeves, put it on the table, pointed and said: "This is the north of Jingzhou City, the upper reaches of the Han River. The position of Dangyang is a turning point. Now it is the rainy season. Next There will be rain for more than a month. We build a dam here to store water. When the rain is the most urgent and fierce, we will flood from this position. The distance from Jingzhou City is only tens of miles away. The whole city, when the time comes to break the city, it's just a backhand!"

"Zhicai, this plan is cruel and hurts the harmony of nature!"

Liu Yan gasped and shook his head hastily.

"My lord, don't stop being disturbed by it!" Xi Zhicai cupped his hands and said, "If you can't break the city in one fell swoop, my lord may not be able to make a big deal out of it!"

"What's the big deal?" Liu Yan narrowed his eyes.

He pretended to be confused, pretending to understand, just wanted to see how much Xi Zhicai and Mujing could understand his own thoughts.

"Isn't the lord who raised his army here just to plan a big event? It's just a mere Jingzhou. It's not a big deal. What the lord seeks is the position of supremacy. But if it's the supremacy, you should have great achievements to win the hearts of the people!" Xi Zhicai reminded in a low voice: " If the lord wants to succeed, he needs to be ruthless, if he looks ahead, how can the lord get this supreme position!"

"heartless?"

Liu Yan began to think about it.

He sent troops at the beginning of the year, and now he is over half a year old. The longer he spent in Jingzhou, the more unstable the rear of Yizhou became. weak body.

After all, he is getting older. When he can't be young, he doesn't even know how many years he has left. If he can't sit in that position before he dies, he won't be reconciled.

So Xi Zhicai's words knocked on the door of his heart.

He was moved.

"You do it!" Liu Yan thought for a while, then said softly: "So, you don't know anything, and you don't need to report everything!"

A typical idea of ​​wanting to be a bitch, but also wanting to set up a torii!
"promise!"

Xi Zhicai had figured out what he was thinking, so he invited him: "My lord, I hope to mobilize the Jingping army to do it. After all, Yizhou soldiers, I can't use it smoothly. If the news leaks out, the plan will definitely fail!"

"allow!"

Liu Yan nodded, but he had doubts again: "Without Long Tu going to sit in the town, can you mobilize the Mu army?"

Mu Jing has already entered his barracks, so it is impossible for him to let Mu Jing go out easily. After all, controlling Mu Jing is equivalent to controlling the entire Mu army. This is more important than attacking Jingzhou City. Rather than Jingzhou City, one hundred thousand Mu troops must be collected .

"The Marquis of Ming has granted the military talisman!" Xi Zhicai said, "And the Marquis of Ming said that you don't need to ask him about the transfer of troops in the future, as long as you have the lord's authorization, you can mobilize!"

"The Heart of the Dragon Picture, I am very pleased!"

Liu Yan suddenly smiled.

The sky is big and the earth is big, with the greatest military power.

If Mu Longtu dared to hand over his military power, he really had nothing to distrust.

In the future, after this matter is over, Mujun’s military power will be taken away, and then Hanzhong will be taken back. Then Mujing will be a wild wolf that has lost its fangs. His gatekeeper dog.

………………

The offensive of the Yizhou Army on the second day ended. The attack of this day was much more ferocious than yesterday, and it also caused a lot of casualties, which made Zhang Ren a little upset. If the attack continues like this, even if the city is broken, the Dongzhou Army will suffer heavy casualties. .

He pondered for a long time and decided that the lives of the soldiers were more important than his face.

In the evening, he entered Liu Yanzhong's camp and begged, "My lord, it is rumored that the shepherd army's attack power is unparalleled in the world. It is really a waste to station an army of soldiers and horses at Changbanpo. It is better to send them south to attack the city gate. Break into the city!"

Hearing this, Liu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. He stared at Zhang Ren, and said coldly: "My soldiers in Yizhou are the best in the world. If you can't break through a city, you still have to rely on his Mujun. You let a certain Where do you put your face!"

"My lord, the shepherd army went south for reinforcements. Their fighting power is just a rumor. We have to see it with our own eyes so that we can rest assured. Letting them attack the city is also to see if they are loyal to the lord!" Zhang Ren's reason is also reasonable.

"Having said that, I have other uses for Mu Jun!"

Liu Yan still shook his head, and then said in a deep voice: "Attacking Jingzhou City is your responsibility. If you can't break through the city within a limited time, don't blame a certain marching method!"

If Zhang Ren came to ask for soldiers before, he would have agreed. He also wanted to see the fighting power of the Mu army, and to consume the strength of the Mu army. There is nothing wrong with letting them attack.

But now, Xi Zhicai is tasked with destroying the city, so Jingping's army cannot be easily mobilized.

"Yes!"

Zhang Ren gritted his teeth. Although he didn't know what Liu Yan's plan was for Mu Jun, or he simply didn't want to mobilize Mu Jun, but the words had come to this point, he could only obey.
