Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chang Xi joined Yuan Shu for wealth and fame, and naturally he was not really willing to die for Yuan Shu.

"General Chang is short of troops? No problem, no problem."

Ji Ling said with a smile, "I will transfer 3,000 soldiers to General Chang. I wonder if it will be enough to capture the north gate of Pengcheng?"

"That's enough! That's enough!!!"

Chang Xi was overjoyed and immediately agreed.

"But I have already said this beforehand. If General Chang fails to capture the north gate or has other plans, don't blame me for being rude."

Ji Ling gave Chang Xi a warning that made Chang Xi startled.

The three thousand soldiers allocated to Chang Xi were used not only to attack the city, but also to monitor Chang Xi's movements.

If Chang Xi wanted to run away, these three thousand soldiers would probably turn their guns and point them at Chang Xi immediately.

However, things have come to this point, and Chang Xi is not annoyed by Ji Ling's threat.

Chang Xi, on the contrary, showed a look of gratitude, and was determined to capture the north gate of Pengcheng at all costs. He made Zang Ba and others kneel in front of him, crying and terrified.

In order to cooperate with Chang Xi, Ji Ling also commanded the Yuan army besieging the other three city walls to respond to the flaws of the Pengcheng defenders.

This was to help Chang Xi tie down the defenders in the city, but Ji Ling also did not place all his hopes on Chang Xi.

If what Chang Xi said was true, then regardless of whether Chang Xi succeeded in attacking the north gate or not, Ji Ling was confident that he could take advantage of those flaws to capture Pengcheng today.

The only difference is that the loss is a little more serious.

After a brief reorganization of the army, Yuan's army launched another attack on Pengcheng.

This time, as soon as the two sides came into contact, the three walls of Pengcheng were almost in complete danger, as if Yuan's army was fully aware of the real weaknesses of the city wall defenses.

"Did the commander of Yuan's army change? Why does he seem to have completely understood the flaws?"

Sun Guan, who was ordered by Zang Ba to stay on the east city wall, looked pale as he saw Yuan's army constantly pouring into a corner of the city wall where the city defense supplies were short of supplies and had no time to replenish, and most of the soldiers stationed there were wounded with weak combat power.

"Quick, quick, block them. We can't let Yuan's army gain a foothold no matter what. Beat the drum quickly to notify General Zang to come to support us."

However, before the emergency drums on the east wall could be beaten, Sun Guan heard the west and south walls beating almost simultaneously.

This startled Sun Guan, and his expression changed drastically...

As the sound of drums suddenly came from the direction of the northern city wall, Sun Guan almost lost his grip on the steel knife in his hand.

This undoubtedly meant that Pengcheng was in danger from all sides and was about to fall.

……

at the same time.

Ten miles outside Pengcheng.

After Zhang Fei arrived at Pengcheng with 4,000 cavalry, he followed Li Ji's instructions and did not enter the city.

Instead, after meeting with Zang Ba and other generals at the city gate, Zhang Fei led the cavalry to station outside the city.

Contrary to what Zang Ba and others thought, Zhang Fei was just watching the attack on Pengcheng from outside the city with cold eyes.

During this period, the cavalry under Zhang Fei and the cavalry under Ji Ling fought in small groups around Pengcheng.

After Li Ji completely seized the initiative by eliminating the cavalry from Cao Cao's hands, Zhang Fei undoubtedly tasted the sweetness of this matter.

Therefore, Zhang Fei has been constantly eliminating the scouts sent by Ji Ling during this period of time, and sometimes even goes into battle himself, in order to make Ji Ling as "blind" and "deaf" as possible.

Of course, in Ji Ling's eyes, Zhang Fei was more like constantly harassing him, and constantly putting pressure on him through cavalry, making him worried and afraid to attack the city. After Zhang Fei cut off a considerable number of scouts under Ji Ling's command.

In order to avoid the sharp edge, Ji Ling naturally had to shrink the scouts' detection range to between five and six miles around, just to guard against the possibility of Zhang Fei charging into the battle.

Within the detection range of five to six miles, if the invaders were cavalry, Ji Ling would also have enough time to mobilize the cavalry to counterattack and contain them.

If the invaders were really a large number of infantry, Ji Ling would have enough time to mobilize the army to either retreat or form a battle array to wait for them, and there would also be no risk of being ambushed.

At this moment, Li Ji, who had also arrived outside Pengcheng to meet Zhang Fei, frowned slightly as he listened to the scouts' inquiries about the latest battle situation in Pengcheng.

Originally, in Li Ji's judgment, Zang Ba should be able to survive this day.

But what Li Ji had not expected was that there was chaos within Zang Ba's ranks. Not only did Chang Xi lead his confidants to abandon the city and flee, but he actually turned to Ji Ling for help.

"Selling out for fame and fortune is truly despicable..."

Li Ji said this with some displeasure.

The scouts deployed around Pengcheng heard the emergency drums from the four city walls at the same time, which was enough to prove that Chang Xi must have informed on the secret and leaked Zang Ba's defense arrangements in the city, otherwise this situation would not have occurred.

"I saw that guy before and he looked treacherous and treacherous. He actually did such a treacherous thing. How hateful! If he falls into my hands, I will make him taste my big feet."

Zhang Fei also started cursing with a look of resentment on his face.

However, in addition to being unhappy, Li Ji felt more of a ridiculous feeling.

According to Li Ji's arrangement, Zang Ba only needed to lead his troops to hold out for another hour until sunset, and he would have completed the test.

At that time, Liu Bei would not only accept Zang Ba, but also many of Zang Ba's Taishan bandits who had made contributions would be accepted as well.

In other words, Zang Ba and others were only one step away from escaping their bloody identity as Taishan bandits and completely cleansing themselves up.

Not to mention that they would enjoy endless wealth and glory from then on, but even if some Taishan bandits intended to retire and return to the countryside, Liu Bei would allocate good farmland and houses to them so that they could live and work in peace.

As a result, at this critical moment, Chang Xi actually rebelled.

This made Li Ji feel like Chang Xi, who entered the palace to become a eunuch in 1911 and 1912, and then joined the National Army in 1949.

Immediately, Li Ji looked up at the sky, and after some deduction, he said.

"Is there anything perfect in the world? Minor details may change, but the general trend is set. Let's start lighting the fire from now on."

At Li Ji's order, the 15,000 infantrymen behind him began to march towards Pengcheng, ten miles away, while the 4,000 cavalrymen led by Zhang Fei were divided into two wings for guarding.

Ten miles...not far!
Just as Ji Ling continued to intensify his attack on Pengcheng, he finally completely captured the south city wall, banged open the south gate of Pengcheng, and prepared to command the army to enter the city.

A dull and exciting drum sound came faintly into Ji Ling's ears from behind.

Ji Ling first subconsciously thought it was an illusion, then suddenly turned his head to look in the direction where the drum sounds came from in the distance.

"Report!!"

At this time, a scout came hurriedly to report and shouted.

"General, there are enemy troops behind us..."

Ji Ling couldn't help but kick the scout to the ground and cursed angrily.

"I heard everything, do I need you to report it?"

even……

Ji Ling raised his head, his pupils shrank slightly, and looked at the big flag that appeared first in the distance - [Li]! (End of this chapter)
