Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator.

Seeing this, Xu Sheng quickly helped Tian Feng up and said.

"Sir, you are a wise man of Hebei. Even the Prime Minister praises you highly. Why are you so humble and cautious? If you have a good plan, please speak frankly."

Tian Feng was slightly stunned, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his cheek, asking involuntarily.

"Does this old man look very humble and cautious?"

Unknowing why, Xu Sheng nodded and said.

"Sir, you have the demeanor of a humble gentleman."

Hearing this, a bitter look of reminiscence could not help but appear on Tian Feng's face.

He, who was known for his uprightness, had become like this?

After Cao Cao's sneak attack on Ji Province, and after the "Proclamation to Protect the People" was also spread to Hebei, Tian Feng was imprisoned by Yuan Shao for advising Yuan Shao to postpone the attack on Cao Cao.

Tian Feng originally thought that whether Yuan Shao won or lost, he would be killed by Yuan Shao after the war.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao died.

Most of Yuan Shao's foundation was obtained by Cao Cao, and the remaining part was divided by the Yuan brothers, which instead allowed Tian Feng to be released from prison by Yuan Xi.

However, Tian Feng was disheartened by this and retired to his hometown, often unable to let go of Yuan Shao's death.

He was both annoyed that Yuan Shao did not listen to his advice and ended up in such a situation, and regretted whether he should have persuaded Yuan Shao a little more, or whether his words and attitude should have been slightly more tactful, would there have been other results.

This difficult to release anger and regret also made Tian Feng look more than ten years older in the half year he had been in seclusion.

It was not until the Brocade-Clothed Guard found Tian Feng, and in the name of Yuan Shu, took advantage of the Yuan brothers being annexed by Cao Cao, and semi-forced and semi-willingly invited Tian Feng to Shouchun, and then moved by Liu Bei's sincerity and patience in visiting many times, that he took office again.

Tian Feng was in a daze for a long time, and Xu Sheng did not disturb him, but studied the surrounding terrain map while patiently waiting with enough respect.

As Tian Feng came back to his senses, the demeanor of the past reappeared on his slightly old face, and he said.

"Since this is the case, then this old man will speak frankly, and I hope you will give me some pointers."

"Please."

Tian Feng stroked his beard under his chin and said.

"This old man also knows something about the reputation of Cao Wei's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is actually divided into two parts: one part is the Tiger Cavalry, which is good at charging into formations, and the other part is the Leopard Cavalry, which is good at riding and shooting."

"Cao Cao's intention is nothing more than to make the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry have the characteristics of both the White Horse义 Cong and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, and to train the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry into the strongest soldiers in the world."

"If Cao Ren sends cavalry to investigate as the Prime Minister reminded, even if he sends out the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, he will definitely only mobilize the Leopard Cavalry, which has a faster marching speed."

Xu Sheng nodded in agreement, feeling a sense of enlightenment.

There are three thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in Qing Province, half Tiger Cavalry and half Leopard Cavalry.

In other words, even if Cao Ren sends cavalry, it will either be 1,500 Leopard Cavalry, or the Leopard Cavalry will lead some ordinary cavalry.

"May I ask how to deal with it?" Xu Sheng asked.

"It is enough to respond to all changes with constancy."

Tian Feng said with emotion.

"The Leopard Cavalry is good at riding and shooting, and the source of soldiers is precious, so they are not willing to attack formations at a disadvantage. Even if they want to harass our army while attacking the city, they will only attack from the periphery with riding and shooting."

"And what you are worried about, General, is not how to completely solve this cavalry, but that you are worried that this cavalry will affect the capture of Anqiu and Chang'an."

After a pause, Tian Feng stroked his sleeve with one hand and raised two fingers, saying.

"Therefore, you can immediately order people to take the banner of Cao Jun's cavalry and go to Anqiu and Chang'an to try to deceive the city gate, whether it succeeds or fails is not important."

"Another time tomorrow morning will be enough to make the Cao army guarding Anqiu and Chang'an unable to feel any excitement about the arrival of reinforcements, and will only subconsciously harbor doubts in their hearts."

"In this way, even if the Leopard Cavalry arrives outside the city tomorrow, our army only needs to continue to besiege the city and attack fiercely, so that it cannot rush into the city, and the arrival of this reinforcement will have no effect on boosting the morale of the Cao army."

Xu Sheng's eyes lit up after hearing this.

There is a saying that morale is like a drum: strike it once, and the energy is at its peak; strike it again, and the energy declines; strike it a third time, and the energy is exhausted.

However, Tian Feng's plan is to actively stimulate the Cao army in the name of false reinforcements, so that even if the Leopard Cavalry really arrives in a hurry and harasses from a distance, it will not give the Cao army any hope.

After Xu Sheng pondered for a few breaths, he said.

"Good plan, I will do as you say, and send someone to pretend to be Cao's army to try to deceive the city gate."

Xu Sheng's straightforwardness made Tian Feng, who had experienced too much hesitation from Yuan Shao, a little dazed, and then as Xu Sheng began to arrange manpower, Tian Feng couldn't help but laugh at himself, and his whole person was invisibly relaxed a little.

After Xu Sheng arranged everything, Tian Feng continued to speak.

"This plan is to deal with the defenders of Anqiu and Chang'an, but if the Leopard Cavalry really harasses, there are also one or two ways to prevent and counterattack, so that they dare not cross the Lei Pool half a step."

At this moment, Xu Sheng had completely recognized Tian Feng's ability and respectfully asked.

"Please tell me in detail, sir."

"You can dig horse-trapping pits outside Anqiu and Chang'an, sprinkle iron caltrops, and then organize small teams of strong crossbowmen in the army to set up on the periphery during the siege to counterattack them with strong crossbows."

Tian Feng opened his mouth one by one to tell his experience in dealing with cavalry, and most of these experiences were accumulated from Gongsun Zan's White Horse义 Cong.

Especially the strong crossbow, it is simply a weapon against cavalry.

It is best to use it at narrow bridges, but even on flat ground, it can also threaten cavalry with a range far exceeding that of cavalry bows.

Xu Sheng, who lacked experience in dealing with cavalry, was very interested when he heard this, and while arranging for people to make arrangements one by one, he also pulled Tian Feng to discuss almost all night.

By the next morning, the arrangement of pretending to be Cao's army for the second time naturally ended in failure.

The Cao army guarding Anqiu and Chang'an were not fools, and naturally would not believe such clumsy pretense.

In order to stabilize the morale of the defenders in the city, the Cao army guarding the city, who had seen through the pretense, had to publicly point out that the reinforcements outside the city were fake, so as not to arouse suspicion among the already heavily injured defenders that the defending general was deliberately not letting the reinforcements into the city.

Moreover, the Cao army guarding Anqiu and Chang'an were quite proud of repeatedly seeing through the Han army's tricks, but they did not know that this was the essence of Tian Feng's plan.

The reinforcements that arrived under the city twice were all fake.

The Leopard Cavalry that showed its flag from a distance for the third time, could it be that it was a real reinforcement?

Perhaps the Cao army guarding the city could tell the difference, but for ordinary soldiers, the credibility had been completely exhausted.

It was only after learning that the plan had been successfully implemented that Tian Feng tiredly rested in the morning, but Xu Sheng, who had stayed up all night, was still energetic and inspected the various countermeasures against the Leopard Cavalry, and then personally reorganized his army and launched a strong attack on Anqiu and Chang'an again.

After two full days of devastation, Anqiu and Chang'an, which had suffered heavy casualties, were already crumbling, and more than 70% of the defenders were injured.
