Back to the Three Kingdoms to be the Lord

The outskirts of Tucheng turned into a large construction site, with people coming and going, and it was very lively.

The Wuhuan army dispatched tens of thousands of horses, and for a while, thousands of troops and horses were on the battlefield, shoulder to shoulder and hand in hand. Within a few days, two thirds of the moat had been filled.But the rest is more difficult to fill in. One is close to Tucheng, and has already entered the arrow range of Gongsun Kang's army. Whenever a large number of Wuhuan soldiers approach, Liu Yi will organize tens of thousands of archers and shoot arrows all over the sky. Come over, its density makes it difficult to approach.

In the end, Uda had no choice but to order the troops to join in filling the moat, holding a huge shield while filling the soil.But in this way, the landfill speed slowed down.Then, he ordered a few more working faces to be opened and marched side by side. When he was close to the wall of the earthen city, he ordered the soldiers to shoot first and then fill in the soil.In the end, Su Puyan suggested that a special shooting team be organized to take charge of the cover, and the speed of filling was accelerated.

It's just that as the moat shrinks and narrows, the water flow becomes more urgent. Due to the injection of upstream water, the water in the moat is running water, and the soil is immediately washed away after filling it.Wu Da discussed with Su Boyan and others that the mouth of the creek that was opened upstream must be completely blocked, otherwise the downstream moat would not be effective. Therefore, Lou Shan was asked to lead his troops to fight for the control of the mouth of the stream.

Lou Shan immediately galloped north with [-] cavalry, and soon regained control of the river bank.

At this time, Liu Yi and Gongsun Kang were on the city wall, and saw that the moat was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye. Being snatched away by Lou Shan's troops, he was shocked.With a livid face, Liu Yi said to Gongsun Kang and Yang Yi: "The control of Xikou must be regained, otherwise it will be difficult for the whole army to evacuate safely."

Then, he turned his head and said to a ten thousand captain next to him, "You immediately take ten thousand cavalry to the reinforcements. In any case, you must recapture the mouth of the stream within today, otherwise after Lou Shan controls the mouth of the stream, he will definitely open it up." If this is the case, our army is in danger, and withdrawing troops is a major event. If it is not handled properly, it may cause heavy losses, or even wipe out the entire army, so we must not be negligent!"

Hearing what Liu Yi said, Gongsun Kang couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up quickly and said, "I'll go in person. Now it seems that the mouth of the stream is a strategic place to guarantee our army's withdrawal, and no mistakes can be tolerated. Today, it was captured by Lou Shan. Occupy, I will be chased by his tail when I retreat, and it will be difficult for the entire army to safely withdraw to Xi'anping."

After Gongsun Kang finished speaking, he wanted to take his generals to go, but Liu Yi grabbed his hand and told him: "Young master, first, pay attention to safety, and don't fight in person; second, retreat immediately when you can't do it, and take a step-by-step resistance. , there are still several important places to build fortifications to stop them, and Loushan's troops must be blocked, and I must win three days. Time, what I want is time!"

Gongsun Kang left at the sound.

Immediately after Gongsun Kang left, Liu Yi led his generals to watch the battle on the wall of Tucheng.

Seeing that the water flow was still panting, he immediately felt relieved, indicating that Loushan had not really controlled Xikou, he turned to Yangyi and said, "You organize the entire army to retreat immediately, and I will bring [-] troops here to fight Wuda." Huh, it is not easy to break through my city. I will give you the rear, but you must immediately return to Xi'an Ping and build a deep defense. Xi'an Ping is our last defense point. We must fight for enough Time, wait until the lord returns from the east of Ma Zishui to the east and join us back to the teacher, otherwise the time will be too late."

Yang Yi begged and said: "My lord, let me do the affairs of the queen. I have experience. The defense of Xi'an Ping needs to be presided over by the Lord himself. It is one thing for our army to withdraw safely. What is more important is that we need to stop Wu in Xi'an Ping." Da and the others, to buy precious time for the Lord's army to come."

Liu Yi thought about it, and said to himself, if Xi'an Ping failed to stop the Wuhuan army such as Wuda and Su Boyan, he would really lose Liaodong this time. Organize troops to withdraw quickly.

However, he said that there was no major battle on the front of Tucheng, but the two armies fought in the Xikou area more than 30 miles upstream.Lou Shan was organizing troops, put down his guns and began to dig the river channel, and at the same time dug soil to fill up the excavated stream bank, but this section of the stream bank was dug up to a hundred feet wide, but the middle part was very deep, making it very difficult for him to close .

The water at the mouth of the dragon was rushing, and as soon as a lot of soil fell, it was washed away by the river. He couldn't help saying angrily: "You organize people to carry the stones, and use the stones to close the dragon!" The cavalry became a river-filling army.

When Gongsundu arrived at the Xikou area, it was already dusk, and he deliberately hid his tracks. When he approached the Xikou, he made a sudden charge, and Loushan's troops were defeated immediately, and they retreated to the north bank. Recapturing the mouth of the stream, I was overjoyed to see the panting river.

He thought that as long as he stayed here for three days, it would not be a big problem for the main force to retreat.

The importance of the mouth of the stream to both attackers and defenders is now more important than the buried moat downstream. Therefore, Uda sent another [-] cavalry to reinforce Loushan that night.And Lou Shan is worthy of being a fierce general. He personally led thousands of people from the side to Gongsun Kang's right flank, used sneak attacks to break through the enemy's flank defense line, and made a move to outflank Gongsun Kang's rear.

After Gongsun Kang discovered that the right wing was broken by Lou Shan, he immediately ordered the whole army to retreat ten miles to build a defense line. As a result, Lou Shan took back the mouth of the stream and organized troops to start filling the stream overnight.The next day, with the support of reinforcements, Gongsun Kang once again concentrated his forces to attack Xikou, and fought with Loushan's troops.

For the next three days, the two sides fought together here, changing hands at the mouth of the stream several times, and the fight was very fierce, with more than [-]% of the damage. It can be said that every inch of land must be fought.

Wuda was certain to win Xikou. That night, another [-] cavalry were sent to reinforce Xikou, and recaptured Xikou before dawn. Gongsun Kang led his troops to retreat ten miles, but they still did not retreat. Instead, they continued to attack and made the Lou Shan couldn't dig the river with all his strength, but the gap that had been opened at the mouth of the creek was finally filled, and the water flow to the moat was completely cut off.

Seeing this, Uda did not send any more troops, but devoted all his efforts to organizing the filling of the moat.The two sides in Xikou area continued to maintain a confrontation. Although Gongsun Kang wanted to regain control of Xikou several times, he finally gave up due to insufficient troops.

At this time, five thousand cavalry each from Wuyan and Loushan finally rushed to Liaodong to join the battlefield, which increased the attacking force of Wuda's troops. So far, Wuhuan's four troops have basically dispatched their entire army to attack Liaodong.

After Zheng Yu received the secret report from the spies, he was secretly happy. In this way, once the Wuhuan tribes were defeated, not only the two Wuhuan tribes of Wuda and Loushan would be seriously damaged, but also the three Wuhuan tribes of Su Puyan, Wuyan and Nanlou. , will also be dying, and it will be difficult to do anything in the future.

Li Ji happily said to Zheng Yu: "In this way, only our Chishan Wuhuan can maintain its strength, and the unification of Wuhuan in the future is just around the corner."

Zheng Yu was also full of joy, but he was still very sober, and said to the two women: "The premise is that Wuhuan must be defeated in the battle of Liaodong." He Nanlou was dying, and it was even more difficult to hold back his joy.

Therefore, he said with a full face: "The key is to see whether Gongsundu's battle in Mabian goes well. Once he can return to the teacher in time, Wu Da and others will suffer a big loss. I think it's time for Lu Ziqi to come back, that's all." It’s been a long time.” Thinking of the timeliness of information, Zheng Yu looked forward to the God of the Desert, and if he had the help of the God of the Desert, he would be able to keep abreast of the battle situation east of Ma Zishui.

Two days later, Lu Ziqi brought dozens of people, pretending to be ordinary people, to Zheng Yu's camp to report.Seeing Zheng Yu, Lu Ziqin bowed his head, with a look of panic on his face.

"Master Wan'an, Mistress Wan'an!"

After seeing the ceremony, Lu Ziqi continued to kneel and said to Zheng Yu: "Damn this subordinate, you're wasting time."

When Zheng Yu saw Lu Ziqi, he was in a very good mood, so he smiled and said: "Get up, Ma Bian is more than a thousand miles away, and there are enemy guards along the way, so it is not so easy to come here. I expected you to arrive now In the middle, I still worked hard. Let’s talk about the situation of Ma Bian’s army, did Gongsun Du win?”

Zheng Yu looked anxious, Wu Min made tea for Lu Ziqi, and Li Ji brought some fruits. They all knew that what Xianggong wanted most was to hear about the situation of the Liaodong War.

Lu Ziqi saluted Li Ji and Wu Min with emotion on his face, then turned his head and said to Zheng Yu: "After Gongsun Du lured the main force of Ma Bian to the north, he took special measures to successfully capture the navy of Ma Bian, and then attacked from north to south, and in Ma Bian A large-scale battle broke out near the capital, and when the subordinates left, Gongsun Du was already sure of victory. The subordinates waited until the battle situation in Mabian was basically determined, and then rushed back to Liaodong to report to the Lord."

Zheng Yuxin said, it seems that the large area of ​​land to the east of Ma Zishui is all surnamed Gongsun.

Lu Ziqi went on to say: "My subordinates judge that once Gongsundu breaks down the capital city of Mabian, he will move the main force northward to support Gongsun Kang, and the remaining troops will be responsible for destroying the remaining forces of Mabian. The Liaodong Army is far behind, so there will be no other changes in the future."

Zheng Yu nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The key is that Gongsun Du has a powerful navy, and its transport capacity should not be underestimated. Within four to five days, tens of thousands of horses can be transported to Liaodong to participate in the war. This is the biggest variable. Now, it seems that unless the Wuhuan people withdraw immediately, if they continue to fight, they will surely end in defeat."

Having said that, Zheng Yu fell into deep thought. He was thinking, will the Xianbei people send troops?When will you choose to send troops?If he is in command, when is the best time to send troops.After thinking for a while, he said seriously: "Once Wuda, Su Boyan and others show their defeat, the two armies of Xianbei Yuwen Mohuai and Suli may take the opportunity to go south to attack the rear of Wuhuan. If so, Wuda Both Lou Shan and Su Puyan are in trouble."

This is a typical snipe and clam fighting for the fisherman's benefit. It seems that Zheng Yu is not the only one who is astute in his calculations. Xianbei people like this are also cunning and cunning. Both Huai and Suli were wary, thinking that they had to be cautious when fighting against him in the future.

"What should we do?" Li Ji asked in a low voice, "Should we retreat to Liucheng for defense? Is it possible that Suli will come to attack us?"

Zheng Yu said with a serious expression: "We are still waiting in the border area, but the main force is retreating. Our attitude is that we will not participate in the battle between the two sides in principle, so let's just sit on the sidelines."

Lu Ziqi asked, "If Gongsun Du joins forces with Xianbei, will he take the opportunity to attack our troops after defeating Wu Da and others?"

Zheng Yu said coldly: "Let's just not give him a chance. If you want to take an opportunity, you have to take advantage of it." Xin said, as long as you don't give the other party a chance, you will be invincible.
