Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 530 stalemate
"Wow~"

The eagle crowed, and the huge goshawk hovered over the city, trying to dive from time to time to fall into the city, but was blocked by the green energy.

Although it can't break the green spirit, the sudden arrival of this behemoth can still have a certain impact on the hearts of the people in the city.

"Brother, that beast is here again!" In Chaoge City, Cao Hong looked at the goshawk circling in the sky, feeling a little bitter. He couldn't shoot the beast down several times. It's really strange, it's so huge How could his body be so flexible?Moreover, Cao Hong had a feeling that the giant eagle was playing tricks on him.

Cao Ren looked up at the giant eagle, and nodded with a sullen face: "Don't pay attention to it, although it has some influence on people's hearts, but after a long time, the people will feel at ease when they see that it can't break the green spirit of the city, and the influence on people's hearts is only temporary. of."

"Just now from Yecheng, another team was sent here, and there is still a lot of food and grass. There are five thousand people who came this time. Our army and horses are much more now, and the food and grass are sufficient. Then Chu Nan is After a year of attack, I can hold it!" Cao Hong laughed.

Cao Ren nodded, but didn't smile too much. He turned to look at Sima Yi beside him and said, "What do you think, sir?"

Sima Yi was studying the giant eagle. Hearing this, he looked away and said with a smile, "It's a good thing for Yuan Gong to increase his troops. It seems that Yuan Gong's guard against the general is gone. The general can let go and fight."

"Let's fight?" Cao Ren shook his head and sighed, "Wen Ze has been using troops these days. Chu Nan has never appeared on the battlefield, and I have sent scouts to observe the enemy's formation from afar. The reason is that the terrain is high, not conducive to water attack, wide field of vision, not conducive to sneak attack, and the camp is strong, and I once sent people with supernatural powers to risk their lives to infiltrate, although most of them were broken, but they also brought back news, Zhong Da knows what it is?"

"I don't know." Sima Yi shook his head, looked at Cao Ren and said with a smile, "Please clarify, sir."

"That camp is a fake camp. Chu Nan is not in it at all. It is used to attract our army to investigate. He may be in the main camp, or he may have another hiding place. There is no way to find him." Cao Ren looked at Sima Yi smiled wryly.

Sima Yi: "..."

Seeing that Sima Yi was stunned, Cao Ren thought he didn't know the reason, and explained with a wry smile: "That is to say, it is difficult for our army to find the real position of Chu Nan, and the commander is very particular in this cloth camp. Where the soul is, it is also where the most elite soldiers of the enemy army are located. If we cannot find the commander of the enemy army, we will not be able to find out where the elite of the enemy army is. Maybe it is somewhere in the camp, maybe he is no longer in the camp. , but went to Liyang or other places.”

Chu Nan is not just the commander of this team, but the commander of the entire front. He wants to control the overall situation. Therefore, to Cao Ren, whether Chu Nan is here is very important. If he is here, then his opponent is Chu Nan. And if Chu Nan has left now, then his opponent is Yu Jin, which is a completely different concept.

And what he was more worried about was, if Chu Nan suddenly appeared in Liyang with his elite, would it have a huge impact on Xia Houyuan?

"As the general said, I am also worried, but right now it is not suitable to go out of the city to fight. The general can send someone to Liyang to inform General Xiahou of this matter, so that General Xiahou can be careful." Sima Yi laughed.

"That's the only way to go." Cao Ren looked at the giant eagle in the sky and said, "Chunan can guard against beasts, so we have to guard against this!"

Although the Commander-in-Chief of Chu Nan is a bit unappreciative in front of famous generals like them, firstly, Chu Nan’s employers are willing to delegate power, and secondly, Chu Nan always has some strange abilities that make people hard to guard against. Two days ago, the dogs in the city went berserk for no reason. Under such circumstances, Cao Ren had no choice but to order the slaughter of dogs to quell the riot.

Now when Cao Ren saw the chicken, he wanted to chop it up.

Outside Chaoge City, in the Yujin camp, three feet underground, an empty crypt appeared at some point. The crypt was well ventilated, and even if the lights were brightly lit, there was no sense of boredom in it.

A huge city model has been prepared, and Chu Nan and Liu Ye are restoring the distribution of troops in the city bit by bit based on the images sent back by the goshawk.

"This is the place where the enemy's soldiers and horses are most concentrated. The lieutenant should be here." Chu Nan pointed to an area and said, "It is difficult to detect at first glance, but from the view of the goshawk, the people here are People come and go very neatly, unlike ordinary people, and most of the food and grass are sent here."

Liu Ye planted a flag here as he said, and stood beside Chu Nan to look at it. This simulated city was made by them with three days of painstaking efforts, and the most accurate restoration was carried out based on the image sent by the goshawk. Next to it, as if overlooking the entire Chaoge City, the buildings, layout, and deployment of troops in Chaoge City are immediately clear at a glance.

"It's a pity that the city's green spirit is not broken, even if we know the enemy's deployment, it will be difficult to break the city." Liu Ye sighed and said with some regret.

"War is the worst thing to be impatient." Chu Nan didn't care much, looking at the panoramic view of the city and said: "However, morale has indeed been a little loose recently."

"My lord, please see General Yu Jin." Zhou Cang came in and kicked a big ant blocking the door. The big ant crawled to the side. These were the other ants strengthened by Chu Nan. They were not as advanced as the demon ants. responsible for building the crypt.

"Let him in." Chu Nan nodded, signaling Zhou Cang to let him in.

"My lord, the soldiers have failed to attack for half a month, and their morale is a bit low!" After Yu Jin came to the crypt, he looked at the model of the city in surprise, and then looked around. In the basement, Yu couldn't help re-examining the ability of this ants, and then he clasped his fists to Chu Nan and said: "The scouts are here to report, Yuan Shao has increased his troops today, and there are more defenders in the city."

Chu Nan nodded, motioned Yu Jin to take his seat and said with a smile: "Since you can't attack for a long time, then slow down a bit. Let's truce for two days to appease the army. Chaoge is one of the gates of Yecheng. It is normal to be unable to attack for a long time. Let the soldiers let go." Peace of mind, we never thought that Chaoge could be broken easily."

Hearing this, Yu Jin felt relieved, as Chu Nan was the coach of this trip, what Yu Jin was most afraid of was not that Chu Nan stayed behind all the time, what he was afraid of was that Chu Nan suddenly ran to the front to show off.

Because from the period of serving Chu Nan, and understanding of Chu Nan, Chu Nan's military art is good, but it is not top-notch.

If Chu Nan personally went to the front to command the battle, it would probably be a disaster for the army.

What is reassuring is that Chu Nan also seems to understand this, so when fighting, the command of the troops is handed over to his generals, while Chu Nan sits in the rear, responsible for appeasing the emotions of the soldiers and arranging for the generals to lead the troops.

Although he has no ability to command troops, Chu Nan is very accurate in judging people. The people he uses are all good talents, and he is willing to delegate power, so that these generals can fight without worrying too much about things from the rear. Used on the battlefield.

"My lord..." Yu Jin hesitated for a moment, looked at Chu Nan and said, "Don't you think that Chaoge City is now full of soldiers and food, and the hearts of the people are loyal to it. Hard to work."

Ordinary small towns are easy to capture, and easy to lose, but pivotal cities like Chaoge and Liyang, once the opponent has both civil and military skills, good generals, Confucianists, soldiers, horses, food and grass, and the hearts of the people, can be easily defeated. It is very difficult to break through, the green energy of the city guard can destroy most of the power of the army formation, not to mention such a hard charge, the opponent has the blessing of the army formation, but your own army formation will be offset by the green energy, unless the opponent's general is too good and the blessing is not much Otherwise, even if both sides are elites, ten exchanges for one may not be able to exchange them.

On Chu Nan's side, there is obviously no ten-for-one force, and this elite army was trained by Chu Nan with great difficulty, and it was wasted in the siege battle. Not to mention Chu Nan's heartache, Yu Jin's generals also feel pained. .

"Don't worry, this battle won't last that long!" Chu Nan knew what Yu Jin was worried about, and said with a smile, "Jizhou is mostly plains, and Chaoge City is only a mere city. It can't stop our army from attacking. , arrange to attack the city, it is good to be able to attack, but if the attack cannot be broken, don't be discouraged, I have my own plan to defeat the enemy!"

"The general will understand!" Yu Jin bowed quickly.

After relaxing a lot, Yu Jin saw that Chu Nan didn't explain anything, so he got up and said goodbye immediately.

"The generals in the army have become slack." Looking at the direction Yu Jin left, Chu Nan sighed, drank a sip of water, looked at Liu Ye and said, "Although Chaoge is not the key to this battle, it is not good for the generals to be slack."

The key to victory is whether Yuan Shao will be attracted to Youzhou by Chen Gong. Chaoge City is now like this, which is a reassurance for Yuan Shao, but Chaoge cannot be attacked for a long time. For the soldiers on the side, not only did it damage the morale, but Chu Nan's overly relaxed attitude towards the generals was also easy to be carried by people's hearts.

This is a strict way to govern the army, but the generals should not be strictly strict. If they are too strict, the generals will feel slack, resistant and even rebellious in the face of impossible tasks. Humans are not machines, and emotions are something that cannot be controlled by humans. There is a reason why it is easy to be irritable when you are tired.

But if it is too loose, the soldiers will lose their sense of awe, which is also not good, so it is difficult to lead troops.

Liu Ye smiled and nodded, "Does my lord have any countermeasures?"

"Train your soldiers, don't let them be idle. Once people are idle, they tend to think blindly. In addition, they shift their focus to besiege and reinforcements, intercept and kill scouts, and cut off food roads. This city is protected by green energy, and it is possible that it cannot be attacked. Yuan, but it is not difficult to cut off the enemy's food and grass supply and intercept and kill scouts. If this is not done well, then don't blame the warlords for disposing of it. In addition, build some fortifications around the city to prevent enemy surprise attacks. Second, it can also have a deterrent effect on the city."

"In addition, I am going to take General Han Sheng to Liyang. Chaoge and Liyang are both the gates of Yecheng. No matter which way they attack, they can take Yecheng directly. With the addition of the Black Mountain Army, as long as Yuan Shao goes to Youzhou, we will Then there will be a chance to break through Yecheng."

As long as Yecheng is broken, it doesn't really matter whether Chaoge is broken or not. Just like Cao Ren and others were defeated after Cao Cao was killed and Xuchang was defeated, even if they blocked their army.

"The time has not come yet. Even if Li Yang is broken at this moment, it will be difficult to deter Yecheng. My lord, it is best to wait." After thinking for a while, Liu Ye felt that this is not the best time.

"It's not that I'm going right away. In short, let's see if Yuan Shao is in the trap. Even if he is in the trap, we have to wait and let the teacher hold Yuan Shao and prevent his main force from returning. Otherwise, Yecheng is as strong as it is. It will be harder to break than Chaoge!"
