Liu Yi led the army across the river to take the division directly, Guo Jia said that Luoyang was too guarded by Zhang Ji, but in the end he did not complete the work because the other party had too many concerns. Lang Sheng didn't care too much about this, the Youzhou army also immediately marched to Luoyang City, there was no Western Liang army to harass along the way, the eastern capital was in the recovery period, the land was sparsely populated, and it was not the focus of Dong Zhuo's management.

The city wall of Luoyang stretches for dozens of miles, and it is not enough for the 100,000 troops of the Youzhou army to besiege the city, but it is also surprising to pull the whole army under the southern city like Liu Yi and put on a look of wanting to break through from here! Generally speaking, the siege is either surrounded by three or one, or it is also the direction in which the main attack is coming, and it is easy to be used by the enemy to outflank it, if the person who is not the Yan Hou who has won a hundred battles, if he is replaced by a person, he will definitely be scolded as a mediocre talent, once the enemy reinforcements arrive, this array is all sides of the wind.

The reason why this strange formation was posed, Liu Yi's biggest purpose was to lure Zhang Xiu's troops out of the city to attack, so that he could seize the opportunity to defeat it and fight in the field, and attacking the Tiger Prison was a move for Hengzhi. Another role is to confuse the enemy, the art of war has a way of fiction and reality, and the state army is so arrogant to expose the tactical purpose in front of the defenders, Zhang Ji will not think so simple, he will guess all kinds of possibilities, as long as the energy of the enemy's command can be divided, it will be considered to achieve the goal.

At that time, the tactics were decided, and Liu Yi's proposal was strongly supported by Guo Jia and Zhang Hu, the former needless to say, Feng Xiao has always liked strange ways, and he is even more bold, but he didn't expect Zhang Hu to also strongly support it, and he expressed it more actively than Guo Jia. In Zicai's view, when the army came to Sili, it was far from completing the strategic task to take Luoyang alone, and then taking the tiger prison to break Xu Rong's reinforcements was considered to have achieved the goal.

Zhang Hu agrees that Liu Yi and Guo Jia are by no means eager to seek merit, and the state army is well-trained, strong combat power, and tacit understanding is the foundation of everything, coupled with a faster intelligence system and meticulous and perfect logistics supply, in the eyes of Zicai, the commander of such a strong division does not dare to let go, and it is a little small and useful.

In the end, Liu Yi's opinions were one-sided, and generals such as Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Yan Gang, and Guan Hai also fully supported it. Later, it was the initiators Liu Yi and Guo Jia who took the initiative to stand in the perspective of the opposing side and deduce with Zhang Hu and the generals, and the atmosphere of discussion in the tent was very warm. This made Yan Gang feel the unique military democracy of the state army, but he also had to admit that this method was excellent, and when Liu Yi and Guo Jia threw out problems that he and the generals came up with to solve them, the strategy was more perfect.

On the second day of encampment under Luoyang City, Gao Shun led the trapping army to set up an attack formation in the south of Luoyang, Liu Yi and Guo Jia Chen Gong Guan Hai watched the battle on the high platform erected by a hundred steps after the formation of the trapping army, Guan Ziping's Feiyan Army The main responsibility of the Feiyan Army was to attract the attention of the enemy army for Gao Shun, but today Liu Yi asked him to take a closer look at how Gao Shun attacked the city, if there are geniuses in every field, Jing Fang is the genius of siege warfare, and his command and timing control are all perfect.

Standing on the high platform, Guan Hai was on the side of the lord and the two military advisors, looking at the battlefield in front of him very seriously, he learned a lot of theories in class, and it was time to verify it. There is nothing more than actual combat to train a person's command ability, Gao Shun and the Trap Army are the best demonstration candidates he can think of, this opportunity is extremely rare, Guan Hai will not let himself miss a single detail.

"Ziping, relax a little, if you collapse too tightly, you can't remember it well, I'll teach you a way, you can assume that you are Jing Fang, what will you do in the face of the military situation in front of you, how will Jing Fang do it, don't think about it on the battlefield, write it down first, use paper and pen if you can't remember, wait until you go back and think slowly, you really can't figure it out and then ask the two military advisors, you can also ask Jing Fang directly, so that you can have some gains." Seeing that Guan Hai's shoulders trembled slightly, Liu Yi did not miss an opportunity to teach the generals under his command.

"What the lord said is very true, bring me a pen and paper." When Guan Hai heard this, he immediately showed a look of sudden realization, and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers in the audience. The generals who have been with the prince for a long time in the state army and those yellow turban generals are very convinced of Liu Yi, but the reason is slightly different, the former is to follow the prince and marquis to win all battles, and the latter is somewhat convinced, especially after passing through the Nanshan Martial Academy.

Guo Jia and Zhang Hu looked at each other and smiled slightly, the latter's feeling was particularly profound, the battle in front of him was imminent, but Liu Yi still had a relaxed mentality, that was his experience in a hundred battles.

Just when General Guan was busy getting paper and pen, Gao Shun's attack on Luoyang had already begun, and the four phalanxes in front of 2,000 soldiers went first, each carrying a sandbag on their backs, and there was a necessary step to attack a Xiongcheng like Luoyang, that is, to fill the moat first, and then repair it with engineers, so that the large siege equipment could pass through, and it was also conducive to the impact of the infantry army.

The herald soldiers beside Gao Shun raised the red flag, the drums and trumpets behind him sounded, and the four teams of soldiers did not shout, but rushed forward, and after they rushed out dozens of steps, the four teams of crossbowmen arrived at the position of their comrades, and the wells on both sides were also pushed up, and hundreds of crossbowmen climbed on them.

"Lord, military advisor, the moat has not been filled in at this time, is it too early to go up the well, well, is General Gao be?" Although the battle has not yet begun, it can be seen from the uniform speed of the first array of soldiers, and the advance of the archers' phalanx is almost synchronous with the front, and there is no break in it, to do so in the battle formation, it can be seen how hard and strict the training of the trapping army is in peacetime.

"Well, Ziping thought that it was right, when filling in the moat, the crossbowmen followed up not to give the enemy a chance to attack at this time, and the use of the well can be more condescending, and the sense of distance of the respectful side is really in place, but this matter is also Dong Zhuo's deserved, if he hadn't burned Luoyang back then, this southern city would be the strongest." Liu Yi smiled slightly when he heard this, and then explained to Guan Hai, because he had already gained something from seeing Ziping's appearance, but some places were not clear, and he didn't have to let the other party waste his brains in vain.

"What the lord said is extremely true, General Gao Shun is calm in battle, there is a law in the formation, and the officers and soldiers in the battle are also strictly lawful, and he is really worthy of the famous general of our army, but I don't know why I said that Nancheng is the strongest?" Guan Hai nodded again and again to see that at this time, the soldiers in the trap had already begun to fill in the moat, and at that time, Liu Yi said that the bow and arrow of a city head could not hit the benefits of the moat, and there were other analyses, but there was no strongest saying, Jian Yong was secretly curious when he heard it, and he couldn't help but ask directly.

"When Yi was the lieutenant of the military academy, he used to sit in Luoyang, so it is clear that the distance from the city wall to the moat in the rest of the eastern capital will not exceed 100 steps, but the southern city is as much as 150 steps, although the person with strong arm strength and accurate shooting skills can still attack, but in the face of thousands of people, it is difficult to become a climate after all, and the array of the respectful side is all 150 steps away, and it is accurate at first sight." Liu Yi explained with a smile that he had worked hard to guard Luoyang back then, and he knew everything about this place.

"The lord's eye is accurate, and General Gao is indeed cleverly controlled, so that our army can successfully fill in the moat." Jian Yong took a closer look again, Gao Shun's control was really as Liu Yi said, and he praised it at the moment, but there were still doubts in his eyes, and the strongest point was not explained.

"There have always been eighteen bed crossbows built by Zhang Heng in the south of the city, which are extremely powerful, and they can break through the well and rush the car within two hundred steps, but it is a pity that Dong Zhuo burned how much of the essence of the previous dynasty was burned by a fire! After the burning of Luoyang, Yi and Brother Wentai were the first to arrive, and they saw the ruins of those bed crossbows, otherwise they would never choose Nancheng as the main attack, and Jing Fang here also knew it. Liu Yi explained that as a commander, it is extremely important to take the overall situation into account, but the key details cannot be ignored.

"I see, the lord and General Gao are really meticulous." Looking at the battle situation ahead, the defenders of the city head are indeed helpless against the trapped soldiers who filled the moat, Jian Yong couldn't help but say, and then looked at Liu Yi's look of regret when he lifted the bed crossbow and sighed in his heart, the lord was obviously sincere, and it was no wonder that he attached so much importance to the equipment, the latter also played a huge role in the field of military industry in Youzhou.

There was no delay in the action of the trapped army in front of the stage between the talks, a team of ten people rushed to the river and threw the sandbags into the river, then turned around and walked backwards, and there were successor soldiers here who kept sending sandbags, and so on, the movements and cooperation of the trapped army were as orderly as if they were engraved out, but thousands of sandbags had been thrown into the river in half an hour, and a very wide field was filled in.

On the high platform, Guan Hai focused on the battle situation and watched with relish, but Zhang Ji at the head of the city did not have this mood, the distance to block the actions of the Youzhou army with bows and arrows was too far to reach, and he lacked the courage to attack out of the city. Not to mention the strength of the trapped army, even those archers who are waiting for the battle are also chilling, I am afraid that if the defenders rush out of the city gate and suffer heavy casualties under the blows of the other side, besides, the distance of one hundred and fifty paces is enough for the enemy to react.

Endure! Although he is very helpless and aggrieved, Zhang Ji knows that only forbearance is the best way at the moment, and it will never be a good choice to engage with the Youzhou army in a short manner, maybe there is still a little suspense in the cavalry, but countless actual battles have already proved that the Youzhou infantry is one of the top combat forces of the Han Dynasty, and the other party is the elite of the elite, how can Gao Shun not consider the enemy attack?

In any case, the enemy army is going to attack the city directly, and at that time there will naturally be a chance for the defenders to play, and the art of war is cloudy, and the last attack on the city, even in the face of Gao Shun's trap army, Zhang Ji firmly believes that the advantage is on his side. Liu Yi's concentration of troops to attack Nancheng is indeed not arbitrary, but targeted, but in this way, he has really been fighting like this, Zhang Ji is also happy to see it, he can concentrate on a little to avoid the shortage of troops, but Liu Yi is really that simple?

As a defender, Zhang Ji never dared to take it lightly, the Youzhou army was known as 100,000, and the enemy army that appeared under Nancheng did not seem to be less than 100,000, so where did the rest of the enemy army go? Especially the cavalry army in the state army, which is as proud as Xu Ronghuaxiong, and Lu Bu dare not despise such generals! It is very likely that they will roam around to deal with the reinforcements that come later, which is also in line with Liu Yi's usual style of using troops, but cavalry cannot be used to siege cities, and Zhang Ji is most concerned about the enemy's infantry army.

He still has deep confidence in the generals of Congzi Zhang Xiu, and he should not fall for Liu Yi's plan to lure the enemy, as long as he guards until Xu Rong comes to Xiliang Iron Cavalry, he can form a cooperation with the defenders of Luoyang Tiger Prison, and then they will be able to compete with Liu Yi, before that he must fight with the spirit of twelve points. Looking at Liu Yi in the past, there were often surprises, and there was also the old man Guo Jia, who was also a ghost.

Zhang Ji's speculation is not unreasonable, this time it is even more true, now Zhang He and the Tiger Guards are waiting for an opportunity on the side, in the overall strategy, Gao Shun's trap and Guan Hai's Feiyan are both for Zhang He's platform, of course, this is also the most conducive to the division of labor in the war. Liu Yi is not afraid of Zhang Ji guessing anything, because when the battle situation is really up, he will have no time to take care of him, and Gao Shun has such a ability.
