Chapter 1085: A Battle Out of the City
"Liu Zheng didn't go all out to attack the city, not because he hadn't mobilized enough soldiers and horses, he only had fifty or sixty thousand people outside the city, which was about the same as ours, so he didn't have the confidence to attack the city."
After Tian Feng finished speaking, he immediately explained.
expressed his opinion on why Liu Zheng did not attack the city with all his might, but instead adopted such a slow and leisurely delaying strategy.
Tian Feng heard what Bun Dun said, but he didn't say anything wrong.
"Looking at it this way, it's indeed right, after all, when there is no absolute superiority in troops, it is also a good plan to take moderate measures and slowly consume the patience of our defenders, but we seem to have forgotten that Liu Zheng is a personal expedition this time!"
Tian Feng pronounced the words "Imperial Driver's Expedition" a little heavier.
"Since Liu Zheng is the imperial driver, how can he not mobilize more soldiers and horses, do you think that Liu Zheng only has 60,000 people around here?"
Being reminded by Tian Feng like this, Yuan Xi and Jian Dun suddenly figured out something.
His face sank, and he realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Mr. Tian Feng, do you mean that Liu Zheng has gathered more soldiers and horses here, but none of those soldiers and horses have been transferred to this Hejian County?"
Yuan Xi opened his mouth and asked Tian Feng.
Tian Feng nodded.
"According to the information sent back by our previous spies, Liu Zheng definitely dispatched more than 100,000 troops to Jizhou in the north this time."
"However, we have only seen fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses around Lecheng County these days, and where have half of the men and horses gone?"
"Originally, I didn't care about it, but just now, the young master, you talked about Zhao Yun, and General Badun said that Liu Zheng's cavalry didn't seem to appear for a few days, and I just remembered that this Liu Zheng may have already noticed the change in Yanzhou's troops."
"He deliberately set up this bureau, and the person he wants to deal with is not us, but Liu Beijun from Yanzhou!"
Tian Feng took a breath and said his inference.
Through these details, it was immediately judged that Liu Zheng's battle in Hejian County was just a feint. What really needs to be decided is the battle at the junction of Jizhou and Yanzhou.
"Ah, if you say so, Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses can make sense of the feint attack outside the city, they don't plan to attack Lecheng at all, they just want to attract our attention, the real army has already been dispatched to deal with Liu Bei's men and horses."
He slapped his head, and when he understood, he immediately became angry and fought.
I was surprised that Liu Zheng actually paid such attention, and I was angry that I didn't react now.
Yuan Xi was also nervous, facing the current situation, he was also a little panicked, he didn't know what to do, he looked at Tian Feng with a sad face, counting on Tian Feng to give him a suggestion.
Tian Feng didn't speak, but after seeing the appearance of Badun and Yuan Xi, he immediately made a decision and gave his own suggestions.
"Young master, it is imperative that we continue to sit here and wait for death. Instead, he was going out of the city to fight with Liu Zheng. ”
"Huh?"
"Why did Mr. Tian Feng say this?"
"It's been a few days, if Zhao Yun gets the news that Liu Zheng is attacking Lecheng, his men and horses will definitely have taken action, if Liu Zheng is unprepared, Zhao Yun suddenly attacks Jizhou, maybe it will have a miraculous effect."
"But now that we know that Liu Zheng has been deployed in advance, maybe this is deliberately luring Zhao Yun to take the bait, then if Zhao Yun launches another attack on Jizhou, the chances of success are not great."
"If my guess is correct, I'm afraid that it won't be long before Zhao Yun's army will be defeated, and after Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses have eliminated Zhao Yun's army, they will definitely gather in Hejian County again."
"At that time, our situation will be terrible, instead of sitting here and waiting to die, it is better to take advantage of Liu Zheng's army to be here now, we will attack him first, if we are lucky, we can take the opportunity to defeat Liu Zheng!"
Tian Feng first said this to Yuan Xi as the reason for his actions.
Yuan Xi and Bang Dun nodded, both agreeing with Tian Feng's words.
Subsequently, in order to give Yuan Xi and Badun stronger confidence, Tian Feng continued.
"Also, the young master has already sent heralds to the Liaodong region to let those Xianbei people come over, according to the time, it is estimated that in these days or two, they will be killed."
"If we go out of the city at this time to engage Liu Zheng's army, even if we are defeated, we can wait for reinforcements from the Xianbei people, and there is no need to be afraid at all."
Tian Feng said this, then this battle is very necessary for Yuan Xi.
If you win, everyone is happy, and you can take this opportunity to defeat Liu Zheng.
It doesn't matter if they lose, their reinforcements are coming soon, and they can wait until the reinforcements come to raise their morale again.
With this in mind, Yuan Xi had no opinion on going out of the city and fighting Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses in close quarters.
"Okay, then according to what Mr. Tian Feng said, immediately go out of the city and fight a decisive battle with Liu Zheng's army!"
Yuan Xi made a decision.
Tian Feng thought that it was no further ado, and immediately instigated another sentence at the sting.
"In that case, then without further ado, General Badun, can you personally lead the army, kill from the south city gate, lead 20,000 cavalry, and crush Liu Zheng's army, if this battle is won, Liu Zheng will definitely be able to fight and lose his armor!"
Badun was moved by Tian Feng's words, and he was a little moved.
Being able to defeat Liu Zheng is something that Bunton has always dreamed of.
nodded immediately and decided to talk to Yuan Xibo.
"Okay, then I'll go down and prepare, give me an hour to gather manpower, and when the time comes, you will personally go to the city tower to supervise the battle, dispatch soldiers and horses, and I will personally lead the soldiers and horses out of the city and go straight to Liu Zheng's camp!"
He clenched his fists, and left directly after speaking, and immediately went down to prepare.
After some discussion in this hall, Yuan Xi and Tian Feng did not dare to stay in this hall for longer, and they also had to immediately mobilize their men and horses to prepare to cooperate with the Badun.
Half an hour passed quickly.
Outside Lecheng County.
Liu Zheng looked at the sky, it was the afternoon, and the sun was about to set.
The sunlight was not so strong, Tai Shici led the army, and was about to continue to follow Liu Zheng's instructions to go to Nalecheng County to call for formation, and then ordered trebuchets and archers to shoot a few rounds simply, and just like that.
But this time, when Tai Shici led the men and horses out, he obviously felt that something was wrong.
On the tower of the city tower in Lecheng County, there are a few more soldiers standing than before.
These people alone already made Tai Shici feel that something seemed to have changed in this city.
