The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1191 Clever tongue ([-])

The Liaodong Army has been launching a forceful attack for five days under Wuzhong County.

However, due to the desperate defense of the defenders in the city, coupled with their very strong combat effectiveness, the Liaodong Army suffered many casualties, and after all, they were unable to take the city.

Therefore, the fact that Xu Zhi's army broke through the encirclement and entered Wuzhong County could no longer be concealed, and Gongsun Yuan himself already knew about it.

Gongsun Yuan has never been a magnanimous person, so he immediately called Bei Yan and Liao Li over, complaining about one of them, making Bei Yan very panicked, but Liao Li felt very embarrassed, and had some feelings towards Gongsun Yuan. dissatisfied.

After all, the sudden appearance of Xu Zhi's army, no matter from which point of view, was not due to his poor response as a military adviser.On the battlefield, I have tried my best and given the most timely suggestions on combat strategies.

But having said that, Xu Zhi's men and horses entered the city, although it is true that Wuzhong County's defense capabilities have been enhanced.But no matter how you say it, this definitely cannot be regarded as a waste game.

Therefore, after a day, Liao Li suggested to Gongsun Yuan that some troops could be left behind to continue attacking Wuzhong County.There are many soldiers and civilians in the city, and I am afraid that there will be a food shortage soon.

At that time, if they starve them for another two days, the combat effectiveness of the army will drop sharply, and the siege troops will disperse in a rush, and the city should be able to be taken down.

Moreover, Liao Li also explained another reason why he did this, that is, according to the original plan, the Liaodong Army could stop sending troops as far as Youbeiping County.Although Wuzhong County has not been won now, it doesn't seem to be a thorn in the throat.

The Liaodong Army could launch an offensive while building a line of defense on the border between Youbeiping County and Fanyang County in the south.

After hearing Liao Li's suggestion, Gongsun Yuan frowned immediately, feeling that this arrangement was a bit too conservative.

After a series of previous victories, Gongsun Yuan's self-confidence has become unprecedentedly inflated.

Gongsun Yuan said to Liao Li: "Military Master, in terms of the current situation of our army, it seems that the combat plan you stated to me earlier has become too conservative. What I mean is that my army is large. You can continue to attack Fanyang County in the south, and capture all of Fanyang County."

Liao Li felt a little confused immediately, and quickly asked: "Master Gongsun, why did you suddenly change it like this? The plan made earlier, even though it seems a bit conservative, is actually enough to deal with the current extremely bad situation. At the same time, the people in Youzhou The geography of each county is almost from north to south, one county is arranged one by one, like a thousand-layer cake. Of course, the Liaodong Army can reach Fanyang County now, and even reach the Yan Kingdom in the south of Fanyang County. But... ..."

Gongsun Yuan asked with some displeasure: "But what? Didn't you say it can be shot down?"

In fact, during the process of sending troops to Cao Wei this time, Gongsun Yuan personally gained a lot of wealth through plundering the local people and plundering the government treasury.

So now he wants to attack Fanyang County, not so much for the needs of the war situation, but because he wants to continue to plunder the wealth there!

However, Liao Li's understanding of Gongsun Yuan was limited, and he was unable to guess the opponent's mind, so he continued to explain earnestly: "It must be defeated, but there is no need to send troops to attack. Once defeated, once Cao Wei's army gathers Come here, Fanyang County, which is very narrow and long from east to west, is [-]% impossible to defend. At the same time, Lord Gongsun, don’t forget that soldiers are human, and they all need rest. Except for those troops who stayed behind to suppress the rebellion, most of the soldiers, every day In combat readiness."

Seeing that Gongsun Yuan didn't respond, Liao Li continued: "The main purpose of our departure from Liaodong Army this time is to stop the invasion of Liaodong by Cao Wei's army. Why should the army attack a place that cannot be defended, and waste it in vain?" In order to save energy and time, it is better to start building a defense line in Youbeiping County. The stronger the defense line is, the greater the possibility of stopping the counterattack of Cao Wei's army, and the greater the possibility of keeping Liaodong away from the flames of war."

Liao Li repeatedly emphasized that the powerful aspects of Cao Weijun immediately made Gongsun Yuan feel unhappy.What's more, he is not a person who is very good at listening to advice.

Therefore, even if Liao Li tried his best to persuade him, he still couldn't enlighten Gongsun Yuan who was obsessed with ghosts.

Therefore, Gongsun Yuan finally mobilized an army of 5000 people and forcibly invaded Fanyang County.

And at this time, Sima Yi happened to be waiting for them!
Since Sima Yi dispatched troops, although he designed Xu Zhi's army to enter Wuzhong County to help county magistrate Yang Lan guard the city, he still felt in his heart that this was not enough and could not reflect his military talents at all.

As for Gongsun Yuan's dispatch of troops this time, Sima Yi decided in his heart that this was definitely a god-sent opportunity.

Therefore, Sima Yi recruited all the surrounding county soldiers, and at the same time added Xiahouba's Xiaoqi battalion who had already returned, and there were a total of about 6000 people.

Two days later, Gongsun Yuan's army fell into the suspicious strategy set by Sima Yi in Fanyang County, forcing them to retreat in a hurry.

But on the way of their retreat, they were suddenly attacked by Xia Houba's Xiaoqi Battalion.

With its incomparably strong combat power, the Xiaoqi Battalion smashed this army into pieces in one fell swoop.

However, the Xiaoqi Battalion has a small number of people. After the fierce battle with the Liaodong Cavalry in Youbeiping County, some of them were reduced.Therefore, with such a force, destructiveness definitely exists, but lethality is obviously lacking.

So, Gongsun Yuan's army continued to flee to the north, but it was already defeated.

Faced with such a situation, an army, even a county soldier with low combat effectiveness, is actually enough to defeat it.The county soldiers under Sima Yi set up an ambush again on the way and ambushed the army.

Originally, the fighting power of the Liaodong Army had always had an absolute advantage over the county soldiers of the Cao Wei Army, but now their army formation and morale are completely messed up, and the army has no intention of fighting at all.

As a result, this Liaodong army suffered a disastrous defeat again, and it achieved more than 1000 beheads and more than 1000 prisoners. In addition to the 5000 people in the Xiaoqi camp, the number of people who can finally escape from the Liaodong army is probably only about 1000. .
