"Insisting on forcibly attacking Dingtao will not only not help the advance of the battle, but will give up the current advantage. On www.biquge.info the contrary, if we concentrate our superior forces now to attack Changyi first, we can not only save attack time and reduce the casualties of attacking Changyi, but also allow the army to gather under Dingtao City in advance. If the rebels' reinforcements can break through the resistance of the iron cavalry and successfully reach the Dingtao line, then we can still have the advantage in terms of troops, and launch a fierce attack on the rebels according to the original attack strategy, and push straight to the line of Chenliu and Fengqiu. Guan Yu glared at Sima Yi and asked sharply, "Does Zhongda think I did something wrong?" ”

"Yun Chang's plan is not wrong, but Yun Chang's modification and implementation of the new policy is very inappropriate. Did Yun Chang take into account the thoughts of the lord? Sima Yi timidly took a step back, and mustered up the courage to admonish, "Yun Chang said that if he changed it, he would change it, and if he changed it, he would implement it, there was no room for negotiation, and it felt very domineering." ”

"Overbearing?" Guan Yu's thick eyebrows were raised, and he smiled angrily, "Zhongda, don't say it so nicely, do you want to say that I am flying and domineering, and there is no one in my eyes?" ”

"On the battlefield, time is of the essence, changes are often instantaneous, the change and implementation of attack tactics must be as fast as lightning, and the command in the hands must be brought into full play, and the opponent must not be given any opportunity to take advantage of."

"As long as it is right, as long as it is conducive to preserving one's own strategy to defeat the enemy, we must adhere to and implement it without hesitation. The life and death of individuals and the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in the army are a fart compared to the victory of a major war. ”

Sima Yi said to Guan Yu with a red face and red ears, and he hung his head and was silent.

"Zhongda, you have to remember that on the battlefield, if you want to defeat your opponent and survive, you must first have the belief that you will win, and you must have the courage to sacrifice everything for the sake of victory." Guan Yu raised his hand and slapped Sima Yi on the head fiercely, "If you look forward and hesitate like you now, you will definitely die on the battlefield." ”

"No matter if you are flying and domineering, no one in your eyes, as long as you win the battle, as long as you save the lives of most of the soldiers, as long as you take a group of brothers to make great achievements, who will remember all this? Who else dares to hold their heads high in front of you? ”

"For martial artists, only winning battles can have the value of survival, otherwise, living is the same as dying."

"When you get to the battlefield, you can do anything in order to win the battle, and you can do anything."

Sima Yi realized something and bowed down to be taught.

"Immediately fly the pigeon to send a message to Handan, and tell Chang Yuchun to tell the third child, don't be like a sheep who only know how to eat grass, don't know how to eat meat, and you are going to be a tiger."

"Yun Chang, shouldn't the lord say something?" Sima Yi was afraid, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Guan Yu looked at him with disdain, shook his head, and said: "Forget it, this is a war zone, and there are many scouts on both sides, even if we are flying pigeons, the news will still leak if we are not careful." Once Cao Ren knew that this was an empty camp, Lao Tzu was dead. After Zhang Yan received the news, he would send someone to tell the lord nearby. ”

Guan Yu no longer ignored Sima Yi, strode out of the tent, flew on the horse, raised his whip and shouted: "Get on the horse, get on the horse, follow me to Dingtao City for a walk, and raise the prestige of my Northern Frontier Army." ”

"Go, go......" a group of guards followed him, whistling away like a whirlwind.

………………

Shanyang County, Yanzhou, Changyi City.

Zhang Yan stayed under Ma Cheng, looked at the tall city in front of him, and took a hard breath of turbid air to calm the excitement and uneasiness in his heart.

From the moment the army conquered the Saltless City, he began to smell the bloody smell of death. During the attack on the city of Wuyan, the city was quickly lost due to the hasty response of the rebels, but the city in front of him had ten days to prepare. In addition, this city was originally the location of the Yanzhou Thorn History Department, and there was a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance, and it was impossible for him to take it as easily as he attacked the Saltless City. His infantry army was limited in number, and after a long journey and a series of fierce battles, the soldiers were very tired, especially the supply of food and grass became more and more difficult because of the elongation of the battle line.

Only when the Northern Frontier Army killed here could it be regarded as having really encountered its opponent.

It's one thing to talk about troops on paper in Handan, but it's another thing to stand on a real battlefield and command an attack. Now I can finally understand the reason why the lord personally commanded the iron cavalry to block the rebels' reinforcements. At this moment, the two battlefields of Dingtao and Changyi are bloody battles, and whether the army can capture the two cities within the scheduled time and quickly stabilize the battle line lies in whether the iron cavalry can successfully delay the speed of the rebels' return and block the rebels on the line of Chengwu and Liangqiu.

It was precisely because the lord was worried that the iron cavalry might fail on the battlefield of blocking, so he personally led the army to kill the Surabaya River in desperation. He was to personally command this existential battle.

Zhang Yan narrowed her eyes and licked her lips.

The real battle to the death began. After this battle, how many soldiers will be left under his command? Will the heavy casualties affect the final outcome of the war? The lord has always been dangerous, and this time is no exception, but can the lord still have amazing luck this time as in the past?

Thinking of the Battle of Juye two days ago, Zhang Yan secretly congratulated himself on the good luck of the army in Wuyan City. If it weren't for the help of Chen Gong and the defeat of the cunning Cai Yang, the army would probably have to suffer a huge blow and pay a heavy price in the two battles of Wuyan and Juye, and of course he would not be able to stand under Changyi City today.

Zhuge Liang rushed over.

"General Zhang, good news." Zhuge Liang said very happily, "Xu Gongming has taken Chengshi City. ”

Zhang Yan and Chen Gong looked at each other and were pleasantly surprised. After the Chengshi City was conquered, there would be no impediment between Dingtao and Changyi, and the two armies could support each other, especially the grain and grass of the large army, which could be replenished directly from the direction of Chengshi City, which would greatly alleviate the grain and grass crisis of the army on the left.

"Xu Gongming sent someone to report urgently, he has been ordered by Guan Yu to rush to Changyi day and night to help." Zhuge Liang panted and wiped the sweat on his forehead, although Zhuge Liang in this time and space is no longer a scholar who is powerless, but he is a strategist after all, and his health is still not very good.

After a pause, Zhuge Liang said excitedly: "General, don't worry, our reinforcements will arrive soon." ”

Zhang Yan's heart was dark. After Xu Huang took the Chengshi City, he did not rush to Dingtao along the south bank of the Jishui River to help, but rushed here to help him fight Changyi, could it be that something happened to the Dingtao battlefield?

Thinking so, Zhang Yan asked, "Does Guan Yu have any news?" Has the Dingtao War begun? ”

Zhuge Liang hurriedly took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over, saying, "General, take a look for yourself." This is a team of iron cavalry sent by General Guan Yu to personally send over the 100,000 urgent military situation. ”

Guan Yu sent a team of more than 100 iron horsemen to escort a letter, which shows the importance of this letter.

Zhang Yan snatched the letter and said loudly: "What happened to Dingtao?" ”

"The military situation in Dingtao City changed, Guan Yu immediately revised the attack strategy, and asked the general to follow the order, take Changyi in the shortest possible time, and rush to Dingtao to help."

Zhang Yan hurriedly finished reading, and said with a solemn face: "Hit Changyi first?" ”

He stuffed the letter into Chen Gong's hand, looked up and said to Zhuge Liang: "The 100,000 army is moving back and forth on the galloping road of more than 200 miles, and there must be a delay in time, and it is difficult for us to capture the two cities within the scheduled time. This matter must be urgently reported to the lord, and he must be asked to block the main force of the rebels in the area of Chengwu and Liangqiu as much as possible, so as to buy us more time. ”

"I'll go to Liangqiu in person." After Chen Gong finished reading the letter, he handed it to Zhuge Liang casually, "This matter is important, once it leaks, the direction of Dingtao will change dramatically, Chengshi City may be lost and regained, and the armies on my left and right may be divided." ”

He looked at Zhang Yan and said worriedly: "The lord has to explain it too." Although Guan Yu's change plan may not be wrong, but things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, who can ensure that this change plan can ensure that the army can quickly occupy Dingtao and Changyi at the lowest cost? Once there is an unexpected change in the situation of the battle, the general may be implicated by General Guan, so ......"

Chang Yuchun smiled indifferently, shook his hand, and said: "Yuan Shao's reinforcements appeared in Dingtao City, and the number of troops doubled, and Guan Yu immediately changed his plan, which is completely correct. Even at the beginning of the offensive, I had a change of strategy. ”

"Let's go, let's go back to the camp and carefully discuss the siege strategy." Zhang Yan turned the horse's head and asked Zhuge Liang, "Is there any movement in the direction of Rencheng?" ”

"Lu Wenlong is taking the iron horse to travel in Jinxiang, Fanxian, and Nanyang Lake to ensure the safety of the grain road." Zhuge Liang replied, "Lu Wenlong came to the book and said that he had sent scouts to investigate the area around Rencheng, and if he found that Yang Ping, the minister of Rencheng, led an army to attack, he would attack him head-on." ”

Zhang Yan nodded and said loudly: "Order all the departments to gather troops in Dongcheng and attack the city tomorrow." ”

………………

Li E, the general's wife, led the army to occupy Liangqiu City.

Liangqiu City is a small city located sixty miles southwest of Changyi City. When Li E led the army to gallop to arrive, the people in the city thought that Cao Cao's army had returned from Jianghuai in time, and they cheered one by one.

Li E had no intention of chasing and killing, so he led his army into the small city and waited for Li Yitong to lead the main force of the iron cavalry to rendezvous.

Li Yi and Zhai Yu led the army to capture Dongfang first, and then went a hundred miles south to capture the western defense. Li Yi sent someone to see Li E off under the Xifang City, and asked her to lead the army and the main force of the iron cavalry to meet under Chengwu City, which was forty miles away.

As soon as the order was sent, Li E's messenger arrived and said to Li Yi: "My lord, Chengwu City has been captured by Madame Li, Zhao Yun, and Lu Bu at noon. ”

Li Yi was surprised and delighted, and asked, "Zhao Yun and Lu Bu have arrived in Chengwu?" The army on the right has already surrounded Dingtao? ”

"Yes, Guan Yu's army has surrounded Dingtao." The messenger said excitedly, "Zhao Yun and Lu Bu arrived in Chengwu City at dusk yesterday and got in touch with Lady Li of Liangqiu City. Madame then led the army and galloped forty miles to Chengwu to meet Zhao Yun and Lu Bu. When the defenders of Chengwu City saw tens of thousands of iron horsemen outside the city, they were so frightened that they abandoned the city and fled while it was dark. (To be continued.) )
