I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 452, Lei Gong, who is about to come to the front line
Huanglong led the army to the city of Dingtao. Liu Bei and others were startled when they saw the endless cavalry and the rigorous infantry formation!After thousands of miles of fighting, these soldiers still have high morale, they really are elite soldiers!

And Huang Long was also shocked by the defense of Dingtao City. At this time, Dingtao City had been fortified and reinforced by Yuan Shao. Without the help of artillery, it would be difficult for him to break through Dingtao even with a million troops.

During this period of time, the coalition forces dug trenches outside the east, west, and north cities to prevent the Dagan army from approaching Dingtao City. In one step, camps were established for more than ten miles along the Jishui River, extending all the way to Heze. With these camps, it can be said that the range of dozens of miles around Dingtao City is not suitable for cavalry battlefields!

In the north of Dingtao City, where the Dagan Army camp was located, Huang Long summoned the captains of the battalions to discuss the matter of attacking the city.

"According to the information from the scouts and our spies, there are more than 10 troops gathered inside and outside Dingtao City at this time, and Liu Bei and Yuan Shao's reinforcements are still rushing to Dingtao. Yuan Shao's reinforcements come from Xuzhou, Liu Bei's reinforcements It is from Jingzhou! Obviously, the allied forces of the princes also put the main battlefield on the front line of Dingtao Changyi!" Xiaowei Fuyun reported to everyone!

Huang Long smiled and said, "It's impossible for Liu Bei and Yuan Shao's reinforcements to come later, Wan Lang!"

Wan Lang said: "Yes!"

"You lead 1 cavalry to clean up the enemies around Dingtao, we will completely surround Dingtao!"

Wan Lang said: "No!"

Duan Peng said: "Although our army has captured most of Yanzhou, it is difficult to continue to advance on the three fronts. Now there are more than 10 coalition troops on the Dingtao front line, and our army has only more than 8 people so far. It is not as good as the defensive side. Although our army's artillery is sharp, judging from Dingtao's fortifications, Yuan Shao and the others have also prepared a way to deal with our artillery. If there is no reinforcement for this battle, I am afraid it will be very difficult to fight.

Huang Longdao: "Our reinforcements are already on the way. The ruling party has already crossed the Yellow River with 10 elites. It can arrive in Puyang from Dongjun in 10 days at most. We have 18 troops here, and the ruling party has brought With thousands of cannons, we will see that Dingtao's defense is solid, and our artillery is sharper!"

The news of Huanglong excited everyone, the power of thousands of artillery pieces is unimaginable!You must know that this time when the big army attacked Yanzhou, the artillery accounted for more than half of the reason why they were so invincible. If it weren't for these artillery, just one city of Puyang would be enough to wipe out their 10 troops.

"The governor ordered us to build the camp well during this time. Before we have an absolute advantage in military strength, we can't forcefully attack Dingtao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao and the others still have strength!" Huang Long said.

Song Yi asked: "What if the coalition forces of the big man take the initiative to attack us? Are we also hiding in the camp?"

Huang Long said angrily: "Of course we want to fight them. We stopped in Dingtao, but we didn't do nothing. Instead, we found a way to clean up Dingtao's peripheral fortifications, cut off the food and reinforcements of the coalition forces, and prepare for the decisive battle that is coming. Get ready!"

Dingtao City.The camp of the coalition of princes!
Huanglong jumped thousands of miles to attack Dingtao City, which shocked everyone, but Huanglong's 10 troops suddenly stopped attacking. They spent several days building camps and digging deep trenches under Dingtao City. I don't know. I thought they were the ones who took the initiative to attack!
Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and the generals and counselors of the coalition army stood on the tower to the north, looking at the bustling army in the distance, feeling a little puzzled for a while.

"Does the big army want to fight with us?" Liu Beihu questioned!
It is no wonder that Liu Bei has such an idea. Now they are the ones who have the upper hand in military strength. Even if the large army has the advantage of artillery, it will be difficult to break through Dingtao City.But in terms of military strength, the coalition forces now have the advantage, but they do not have the advantage in terms of food and grass. The food and grass connected to the front line of Dingtao Changyi is provided by Liu Bei, and the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops, even if Liu Bei occupies the largest three states in the south of the Yangtze River, But it is also difficult to provide so much food for a long time!

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao looked at the Dagan army camp in the distance, and felt that the Dagan army might want to fight with them. After all, in the decisive battle, the Dagan army does not have an advantage in terms of strength. Dingtao and Changyi are defeated in any place. It may affect Lei Gong's occupation of Yanzhou!

On the other hand, Guo Jia carefully watched the camp of the Great Army, and even got half of his body in the depths, and almost fell off the tower!Fortunately, Cao Cao is pulling Guo Jia!

"Be careful, Fengxiao!" Cao Cao scolded.

But Guo Jia thought for a moment and said: "The reinforcements of the Dagan Army are coming, maybe Lei Gong will also come to Dingtao!"

Cao Cao was surprised: "Feng Xiao, why do you have such an idea?"

Guo Jiadao: "The importance of this battle in Yanzhou to Lei Gong is self-evident. If the coalition forces are defeated, no one in the world can stop Lei Gong from taking the whole world. But now the Dagan army has launched an army of 30 and attacked from all directions. It's been a month, but everyone hasn't even seen Lei Gong's shadow, is it true that Lei Gong is so worried about Huang Long's generals and not worried about Huang Long's defeat?"

Only now did Cao Cao realize that the Battle of Yanzhou had been going on for a month, and Lei Gong hadn't appeared until now. If Guo Jia hadn't reminded them, they wouldn't have thought of this!

Guo Jia continued: "Now the camp built by Huanglong far exceeds the needs of Huanglong's army, and it is more than doubled in size. It is obviously prepared for Lei Gong. The main force of the allied forces of the princes is on the front line of Dingtao Changyi. Lei Gong is here. Plan to defeat us personally! And if our coalition army is defeated, no one in the world can stop Lei Gong from occupying the Central Plains!"

What Guo Jia said was reasonable, most of the people present believed it!
For a moment, I felt uneasy. The decisive battle is really coming, but none of them is sure that they are the winner of this decisive battle!
Yuan Shao even asked immediately: "Brother Xuande, when will Jingzhou's artillery arrive? Without artillery, it will be very difficult for us to win this war!"

Liu Bei said: "It's almost here. The fleet transporting artillery should be on the front line of Peng Zeguo. Now the fleet continues to go upstream. It will only take a few days to reach Dingtao!"

At the beginning, Liu Bei and the others wanted to transport artillery to the front line, but Liu Bei was worried that the artillery would be too heavy and the transportation time would be too long. This victory is even lower, so Liu Bei's artillery went down the Yangtze River to Guangling County, then went upstream to Huai River, and then entered Sishui through Huai River, and Sishui entered Jishui line, and then transported to Ding Among Tao and Changyi City!
During this period, the climate in the Central Plains was warm and water transportation was developed. The entire Central Plains could be brought together by water transportation. If Chenliu County had not been captured by Yang Feng, the fifty cannons in Luoyang City could have come to Dingtao City through Jishui!
