Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 161
Liu Chan was waiting for the best time to attack, while Xu Huang and Xia Houshang were also waiting for Liu Chan's army to attack.

The seemingly calm waters on both sides of the Dushui River could hardly conceal the turbulent murderous aura here.

Under the training of Ma Chao, Shangyong and the young men of two thousand tribes already possessed the most basic common sense of war, and they can also know the basic marching orders, which is enough.

These Qiang and Di people held their usual hunting bows, their arrows were coated with the poison they made from local flowers, fruits, insects and snakes, and the rough machetes they used when they went into the mountains to cut firewood and hunted were ready to fight Cao Jun at any time.

In fact, Liu Chan has allocated a batch of leather armor, leather for making leather armor, standard ring-shoulders and bows to them from the captured trophies.

However, these tribes accepted leather armor and leather, but declined ring-shoulders and bows because they were not used to them, and they were not as easy as their machetes and short hunting bows.

Since it was too late to train for a long time, Liu Chan just let it go. After all, whether the weapon is handy on the battlefield is a matter of life and death.

During this period of time, the Red Star Army has spent a lot of time listening to Liu Chan's lectures, including Ding Feng and Chai Rong, who have just returned to the team.

Except for members of the cavalry such as Hu Li, they are training with Ma Chao at this time.

"...The so-called enemy advances and retreats, the enemy camps and harasses, the enemy exhausts and fights, and the enemy retreats and pursues. These sixteen-character formulas are the essence of the so-called guerrilla warfare." Liu Chan combined the map and Cao Jun's camp location, patiently explaining.

Chai Rong was greatly inspired by his experience of fighting guerrillas with the Jiangdong Wu army, but at the same time he immediately discovered the problem.

"But in this way, wouldn't our army consume more energy and willpower than the enemy army?"

Liu Chan smiled relievedly: "That's right, that's why I didn't let you do this when I was in Jiangdong before. These sixteen characters are indeed a magic weapon for winning with less and more, but there is a prerequisite - the quality of our soldiers, fighting will and beliefs must crush the enemy.

"Otherwise, before the enemy is defeated, this style of play will exhaust ourselves first. Not only that, in order to continue fighting, our army must also use all the gaps in the attack to conserve energy..."

After explaining the tactical concept of guerrilla warfare, Liu Chan proceeded to the next step.

"Our troops are at an absolute disadvantage. At this time, if we gather together to fight the enemy head-on, even if we are all elites with one against ten, the best result will be a tragic victory.

What's more, this time the enemy's chief general is also a veteran who can recruit and fight well. He has rich experience in leading the army and running the army. "

After listening to Liu Chan's words, Li Erdao: "So we have to fight against them."

Liu Chan nodded: "Yes, but even with guerrilla tactics, we are still at a disadvantage compared with the enemy."

"So it's time to attack?" Ding Feng was deeply impressed by Lu Xun's defeat in the battle of Jingzhou.

"Exactly." Liu Chan said with a gratified smile, "Then... how should we divide it?"

Everyone fell silent at this moment.

Liu Chan didn't make a fool of himself, seeing that everyone couldn't think of a good strategy, he said, "The reason why I asked you to insist on fighting with multiple arms in ten units since the time of suppressing the bandits, and everyone must understand the semaphore, is for today's events."

The generals of the Red Star Army looked at each other, except for Li Er, Ding Feng, and Chai Rong who seemed to have a little understanding, the others were still in a daze.

Especially Qian Duo, with the same straightforwardness in his clear eyes, just waiting for Liu Chan to announce the answer.

"Together is a ball of fire, scattered like a sky full of stars."

It's a pity that today's answer seems to be more difficult for Qian Duo than the question itself.

……

At the same time, the water volume of the blocked river began to gradually decrease with the passage of time, the river channel gradually narrowed, and the water level dropped every day.

The time to launch an attack is getting closer.

However, neither Liu Chan, Ma Chao, Xia Houshang, nor Xu Huang expected that the opponent would make a move similar to their own.

Outside the west city, Meng Da's [-] plays suddenly approached the city.

Not long after he joined Xia Houshang, he was ordered to go back to Fangling in secret, passing through Zhushui and Mianshui, bypassing Shangyong, and came to sneak attack Xicheng.

The Mianshui did not flow directly through Shangyong, but passed through the blocking water that branched to the south. Therefore, the Mengda army that sailed from east to west directly from the Mianshui in the north was not noticed by Shangyong.

This surprised Shen Zhong, who was in charge of staying in the west city.

But fortunately, even though Shen Zhong was in the city, he did not forget to send people to investigate the surrounding area of ​​the city, especially the situation of the Mianshui waterway.

When Meng Da and others came by boat, they had already been discovered.

And it was the first time he was ordered to guard the city alone, it was such an important place, Shen Zhong was very energetic.

The last time he defended Jiangling with Zhao Lei, he learned a lot about defending the city from the general under General Guan.

Xicheng is the old nest of the Shen family. After many years of operation, it is more secure than Shangyong City's city defense, and there is no shortage of supplies.

The things to defend the city had already been prepared, and Meng Da's troops seemed to be less than ten thousand, so Shen Zhong was not disturbed even though he was shocked.

"Listen to the defenders in the city!" Meng Da shouted vigorously outside the city, "Shangyong has been captured by our army, and the Shu army has been wiped out! Liu Chan and Ma Chao have been captured. If you want to survive, you should open the city and surrender as soon as possible!
"If you don't surrender at this time, when my army arrives and breaks the city... Humph, if you suffer then, no wonder someone didn't remind you!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Suddenly there was a burst of laughter from the top of the city. This laughter was so natural that anyone could hear it. It was definitely not a forced laugh pretending to be calm.

Meng Da was annoyed for a while, pointed the knife at the top of the wall, and said angrily, "Who is laughing!"

"Haha, ha, huh..." Shen Zhong managed to hold back his smile, and took a few steps forward to look at Meng Da outside the city wall, "You must be laughing, what do you want to do?"

"You!" This sentence made Meng Da very angry. We are all educated people, how could anyone scold the street on such an occasion?
But the other party scolded, not only scolded, but also didn't intend to stop.

Shen Zhong smiled and pointed to the city: "What kind of person is the prince? General Ma is also famous, and porpoise dogs like you also want to win by fighting... Could it be that you want to laugh at your father and destroy my west city without fighting?"

Seeing Shen Zhong laughing and cursing, the surrounding soldiers also relaxed and laughed along with him, completely ignoring the enemy army in the city.

And Meng Da didn't threaten them to do anything after they broke the city. This statement strengthened their determination to stick to it.

Seeing that he couldn't be fooled, Meng Da asked again, "Who are you?"

"It's easy to say, the public's surname is Shen Mingzhong, and he is a pawn in the Red Star Army of the Prince of Hanzhong." Shen Zhong proudly puffed out his chest, as if saying that he was a general of the Han Empire.

Can you stop every sentence from being fair and fair?

Meng Da was disgusted enough, but he still sneered at this moment and said: "Hmph, but an unknown pawn dares to speak wildly here. The King of Wei has promised a certain title of Marquis. If you surrender, you will also be rewarded. Wouldn't it be better to be a pawn here?"

"Hmph, Naigong, the status of a small soldier under the prince's command, will not be changed by others even if he is given to a general." Shen Zhong's face turned cold, and he scolded, "If you want to attack, attack, otherwise don't make noise here, disturbing people's cleanliness! Shoot arrows!"

The soldiers on both sides immediately drew their bows and shot arrows, and a wave of threatening arrows shot out. Meng Da hurriedly pulled his horse back, which caused another burst of laughter from the walls.

Fortunately, the embarrassing Meng Da did not lose his mind and immediately ordered to attack the city, but ordered people to set up camp outside the city.

He had to wait a little longer, when he suddenly led the army to appear in the rear west city, the hearts of the army and the people in the city would definitely be in turmoil, even if this unknown soldier still wanted to resist, the others would probably become more active.

Besides, this is also the base camp of the Shen family. The Shen family heard that Cao Jun had won a great victory, so why not rush to open the city for themselves?
When the time comes, someone will lift Shen Zhong's head and surrender the city, so there is no need for him, Meng Da, to be in a hurry.

So he sent people to shoot letters of persuasion into the city every day, waiting for chaos in the city.

This is also a helpless move. The most important reason for him to lead his troops so far is to use the suddenness and false news to disrupt the enemy army. In fact, there are many successful cases... He can't really let him use his [-] plays to attack the city, right?

However, the letters that were shot in were like sinking into the sea, and there was no reply at all.

The west city was still calm, and Shen Zhong was still alive and kicking every day insulting him on the top of the city.

The angry and impatient Meng Da didn't know that there were no Shen family members left in Xicheng.

And just when Meng Da got nothing, Guan Xing also led the army, and suddenly appeared outside Fangling City...
