Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 484 Attack, Suzaku Legion
"Everyone, the enemy general Zhao Yun is brave, do you have a countermeasure?"

Cao Cao was in a hurry.Xu Chu is now defeated, and there is no stronger general in his army than Xu Chu.

"My lord, you can no longer fight with the Wuling army, it is better to directly send troops to kill Zhao Yun!"

Li Dian came out and replied.

Cao Jun's only advantage against Wuling Army is the large number of people.Compared with generals, no one in the world is Wu Shun's opponent.But compared to the number of troops, Wu Shun would be at the bottom.

The Wuling Army has always followed the line of better troops and simpler administration.The legions are powerful, but each has only 2 people.This is an urgent problem that Yizhou needs to solve after expanding its territory.

"Wu Shun is just outside the camp. If we send troops, the Wuling army will attack! How can we stop the Wuling army's catapults without a city wall?"

Cao Cao ran out to set up camp by himself in order to watch and help Yuan Shao at Hangu Pass.Resist Wu Shun's counterattack together.

But now that the first battle was unfavorable, Cao Cao had an army of [-], but he still had to worry about how to resist the Wuling army's attack.

"My lord, for now, we can only avoid the battle, dig more ditches outside the camp, and place horse-repelling antlers to prevent the cavalry from stepping into the camp."

Xun You came out and said.Their Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are no match for the Azure Dragon Cavalry, so they cannot rely on the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to contain them.

The layout of the big camp is very important. If it is well arranged, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The enemy dare not attack the big camp easily.If the layout is not in place, it will be difficult to resist the enemy's attack.

After listening to Xun You's suggestion and looking at his generals, Cao Cao said helplessly:

"Oh, that's all I can do..."

Knowing that the people under his command could not beat Zhao Yun, Cao Cao would not send them to die.The battlefield is a cruel place where you can live and die. Cao Cao will protect unnecessary losses.

Seeing that Cao Cao was listless, Cao Jun's generals were both grateful and ashamed.

Fortunately, I don't have to fight Zhao Yun.

What's ashamed is that, as Cao Cao's subordinate, I can't share the worries of the Lord, and I feel very ashamed in my heart.

Seeing that Cao Jun was guarding the barracks and no more generals went out to fight, after observing for a while and finding that there was no chance of attacking, Zhao Yun led his troops back.

"My lord, it seems that Cao Cao is going to defend to the death. No matter how much he shouts, no one will fight!"

Wei Yan returned to the Chinese army with great interest?
"Wen Chang, Zilong, what is the layout of Cao Jun's camp, can we attack by force!"

What Wu Shun cared about was still this.

Cao Cao left Hangu Pass and waited for him here at the village. This became the first hurdle for him to regain Hangu Pass, and he still had to cross it.If Cao Cao does not retreat for a day, the Wuling army will not be able to approach Hangu Pass for a day.

"My lord, the last general looked carefully just now. The Cao camp is properly arranged. There are trenches and horse pits dug outside the camp gate. There are also many refusal horses! The cavalry cannot attack by force!"

Wei Yan said.

"I didn't expect Cao Cao to do such meticulous preparations."

Wu Shun asked again:
"If the infantry is the main force, how about a forced attack?"

"My lord, with the White Tiger Battalion as the main force, supplemented by other legions to assist, you can give it a try."

Zhao Yun replied.

Most of his Qilin army is infantry, so when he looks at the problem, he will take into account the factor of infantry attack.

Wei Yan was commanding the Qinglong cavalry, and he was more concerned about what kind of obstacles the cavalry might encounter when attacking.

There are trenches and horse traps, and the Qinglong cavalry is doomed not to gallop.It is difficult to rush through the trenches, and the hooves of the war horses will be useless when they step on the horse pits.If a war horse loses its hooves, it is useless. Basically, it has to be killed for meat.

"Go back first, and tomorrow we will attack Cao Ying!"

On the first day, it was only for testing, and Wu Shun had no plans to directly attack Cao Cao.

It's almost time to hear this information.In wartime, it is very difficult to sneak into the enemy camp.Therefore, the Wuling army will not attack easily without understanding it clearly.

……

"Report~"

"The Wuling army has retreated!"

A soldier ran into the commander's tent to inform Cao Cao of the good news.

"Yuan Rang, send troops out of the camp immediately. Dig more trenches and set up more traps! The next time the Wuling army comes, they will attack."

The Wuling army retreated, which did not make Cao Cao happy.On the contrary, he was a little worried, anxious!

Wu Shun never played his cards according to common sense in wars, and maybe he would really storm his camp when he came back.

In order to prevent the cavalry of the Wuling Army from "chaos", Cao Cao could only send people to set up more traps around the camp.

"I don't know how Wu Shun will attack?"

Cao Cao was secretly worried.

The Wuling army did not withdraw to Chang'an, but stopped and set up camp halfway.There are many stones and trees here.Just enough to supplement the needs of the siege.

At night, the tents of the generals in the Wuling Army camp were brightly lit.Wu Shun and the others will discuss how to attack Cao Ying here.

"My lord, our army's cavalry is now strong, and the general feels that it is better to start with the guard battalion and use our cavalry as the main offensive."

There was no good solution discussed, so Wei Yan became violent.He feels that they have the most cavalry in the army now, and they should carry the banner of attack.

"Wen Chang, you said during the day that there are trenches outside Cao Ying, and horse pits, and the cavalry cannot attack directly."

Wu Shun said.

"It's not that everyone has no good way..."

Wei Yan giggled in embarrassment.It made everyone stare blankly.

"My lord, the last general thinks that we should attack Cao Ying with the Suzaku Legion as the main force, supplemented by the White Tiger Legion and the Cavalry Legion."

Dongfang Qiang stood up at this time and expressed his thoughts.

"Dongfang, please speak carefully."

Wu Shun was relieved to see that Dongfang Qiang had an idea.Sure enough, he is still a reliable general trained by himself.

"My lord, the Suzaku Legion is capable of long-range strikes. You only need to transport all the catapults, and with the power of the catapults, you can knock down the Cao camp as you advance layer by layer."

Dongfang Qiang's idea is to use the catapult to blast through layer by layer.Destroy all the traps, trenches, horses and so on along the way.Then the White Tiger Army was dispatched and rushed into Cao Ying against the attack of Cao Jun.Finally the cavalry came in to complete the harvest.

This is a very good set of tactics!Open the way with powerful long-range firepower, and when the momentum is vigorous, it can minimize the casualties of soldiers.

"What do you guys think of Eastern tactics?"

Wu Shun asked.

"very good!"

Huang Zhong said.

"That's it!"

Wei Yan is very excited, Dongfang Qiang is his old superior.Now it seems that he has not learned much from Dongfang Qiang.

"My lord, the strategy proposed by General Dongfang is really wonderful, and it seems to be the most in line with my lord's wishes."

Fazheng laughed.

When Wu Shun fought, he would rather waste military supplies than waste the lives of soldiers.If Dongfangqiang's tactics go well, the Wuling Army's battle losses will be very small.

But with the Suzaku Legion as the main force, materials such as stone bombs, kerosene, and arrows must be prepared.

"It turns out that my lord insisted on stationing here to collect stone bullets. General Dongfang, you are not kind."

The generals finally came to their senses at this time, accusing Dongfang Qiang of not telling them in advance and making them embarrass themselves in front of the lord.

Faced with everyone's questioning, Dongfang Qiang expressed his helplessness.He also didn't know why Wu Shun was stationed here.

In fact, Wu Shun had already thought of the attack method based on the Suzaku Legion.He chose to station here, one is to facilitate the collection of stones, and the other is that the catapults have not yet been installed in place.

The Wuling Army still needs some preparation time!
