Six days have passed in Xuzhou City. Cao Jun launched several fierce attacks, but they were all repelled by the defenders in the city. Xuzhou City is high and deep, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. The defenders are also very tenacious in fighting will, especially They are the elite Danyang soldiers stationed at the four gates. They are truly brave and fearless of death!
In addition, Cao Cao's army did not carry any large siege equipment this time. They only relied on the soldiers to hold up shields and carry ladders to charge upwards. They undoubtedly died in vain. In desperation, Cao Cao had to order a suspension of the attack and find another strategy!
At night, in the Chinese army's tent, everyone in Cao's camp was discussing how to attack the city. Sixty thousand troops besieged the city, but they could not conquer it for a long time. Not only did it damage morale, but once the other two reinforcements arrived, they would be beaten. danger!
"How much food and grass does the army still have?" Compared with siege, Cao Cao was more worried about the problem of food and grass. Letting the soldiers starve was a taboo for military strategists.
"Go back to my lord, the food and grass can still last for about ten days!" Guo Jia is responsible for the deployment of food and grass for the army. In order to speed up the march, they only carried half a month's worth of military food for this expedition, and now less than half of it has been consumed!
"How about I take people to collect grain from the surrounding counties?" Touching the sword on his waist, General Xiahou Dun's face was full of murderous intent. The so-called "grain harvesting" means grabbing grain from the people of Xuzhou. This kind of thing It often happens during warlord melees. There is no difference between a large army crossing the border and a locust riot. They eat wherever they go!
"Well, it's a good idea. We can't let the sons go hungry!" Xiahou Dun's proposal immediately received strong approval from the generals surnamed Cao and Xiahou. This time they raised troops to take revenge. They were already holding back a sense of hostility in their hearts. They wanted to You can go out to grab food, kill people, set fires, and let off some steam!
As for what moral constraints? These are troubled times, human life is as cheap as a piece of grass, and all the princes are doing this, who has the right to say anything?
"Generals, you must not do this!" Guo Jia quickly stopped him. Once the opening for killing was opened, it could no longer be blocked.
"We are here to capture Xuzhou, not to destroy Xuzhou. Using troops to kill will only lose the support of the people and make the people of Xuzhou share the same hatred. Even if we can capture this place, we will not be able to stand firm."
"Hey! We can't capture it, and we can't capture it. What should we do?" Everyone was thinking hard. They just received a military report that an army of 50,000, under the leadership of Kong Min, the governor of Yuzhou, came to the rescue. The vanguard troops had already entered Xuzhou territory. , will advance here in four or five days at most. Beihai Governor Kong Rong is also gathering troops and may lead his troops southward at any time. By then, the enemy will be surrounded in three directions, but it will be bad!
"Xiao Lang, what do you mean?"
After the meeting for a long time, Xiao Yi sat there without saying a word. He just took a small wooden stick and kept drawing some ghost symbols on the ground. No one knew what he was thinking.
"If the consumption of war horses is eliminated, how long can the food and grass last?" Xiao Yi asked Guo Jia, touching his chin.
The consumption of military rations is nothing more than people eating horses, and the latter is far more than the former. The consumption of one war horse is enough to feed five soldiers, and the largest cavalry in Cao's army is Xiao Yi's 'Xuanjia Iron Cavalry'. They are one person Dual cavalry; although their combat power is unparalleled, they also consume the greatest amount of food and grass.
"That can save half of the food and grass!" Guo Jia's eyes flickered. As his best friend, he probably guessed what Xiao Yi was going to do. The cavalry was useless for attacking the city, and the war horses couldn't climb the city wall. These days The Tianxuan Jia Army has been watching the formation from behind, just like a tiger lying on the ground, useless. Now is the time to release this elite soldier!
"Okay, five thousand Xuanjia troops, each carrying three days of dry food, I will take them to intercept the reinforcements coming from Yuzhou!" Xiao Yi suddenly stuck the wooden stick in his hand on the ground, and Xiao Yi was ready to fight!
"Isn't this too dangerous? Using 5,000 men and horses to deal with 50,000 troops is such a disparity in strength!"
"Yes, bring three days of rations. What will you eat after three days?"
The generals in Cao Ying almost thought that Xiao Yi was crazy. He was going to die himself. They all tried to stop him. Although the situation was unfavorable, they were not willing to risk their lives!
"Quiet! Xiao Lang, tell me your plan!" Cao Cao still looks as stable as Mount Tai in his command position. He is the backbone of this army, and he cannot be disrupted by anyone!
"It's very simple, take it by surprise and attack it unprepared!" Xiao Yi looked at the generals with a playful expression and asked, "Can any of you guess that I would dare to lead a mere five thousand men to rob and kill Kong Min, the governor of Yuzhou?"
"This, of course I can't think of it, yes, the plan is too crazy!"
"Very good, even you can't think of it, let alone the enemy!"
"Gah!" Everyone's discussion stopped abruptly, and everyone's mouths opened.Three eggs can be stuffed into it, but thinking about it on the other hand, Xiao Yi's words seem to make sense. Only a devil can think of such a crazy plan!
"How do you solve the problem of military rations? If the army has no food, it is seeking death!"
"For the first three days, I ate the dry food I brought with me, and after three days, I ate the enemy's food!" Xiao Yi also became ruthless. What this sneak attack requires is speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness. There is no way out. If you don't win, you will die!
"Okay, now that the situation has come to an end, the only way to break the situation is to give it a try!" Cao Cao slapped his thigh, and he decided to follow the bet, "Cao Xiu, Yu Jin listens to the order, you two each bring a thousand fine cavalry, Follow Xiao Lang in action, and you will never return if you win!"
"No!" Cao Xiu and Yu Jin immediately stepped forward to receive the order. Both of them were rising stars in the army. They had always been valued by Cao Cao, and now they were all sent out.
With seven thousand men and horses attacking, this bet was equivalent to overwhelming most of the cavalry in Cao's camp. It was considered a big gamble.
The governor of Yuzhou, Kong Min, was now very proud of the spring breeze. After receiving Tao Qian's letter asking for help, he immediately mobilized troops to rescue. Now 50,000 troops have crossed the border and are marching toward Xuzhou in a mighty manner. Wherever the army goes, people scream. , the momentum was like a rainbow, and the dust that was raised covered half of the sky. With such a heroic army in hand, it should be easy to repel Cao Jun.
Of course, friends are friends and interests are interests. This dispatch of troops is not in vain. Tao Qian has already promised to give him 200,000 dendrobium of rations, 20,000 pieces of cloth, 2,000 army horses, and 50,000 taels of gold. The cost of this troop dispatch.
In addition, from now on, Xuzhou will also provide 10,000 shi of sea salt for free every year, which is a real good thing. His Yuzhou is located inland, and the lack of salt has always been a major problem related to people's livelihood. In fact, in Kyushu, except for the coastal Qinghai A few states outside of Xuzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou, there is no shortage of salt in that place, especially in bitter cold places like Xiliang. A few kilograms of salt can be exchanged for a fat and strong prairie cow, or a sixteen or seventeen-year-old adult. girl!
"How far is our army from Xuzhou City?" Thinking of these benefits, Kong Min was filled with energy and wanted to fly to Xuzhou City immediately.
"Go back to the Governor, our army will reach the Xuzhou City in four days' journey!"
"Rescuing troops is like putting out a fire. Send the order and speed up the march. We must reach Xuzhou within three days. Anyone who dares to delay without reason will be killed!"
As soon as the order was given, Yuzhou soldiers and horses immediately accelerated their marching pace, running forward in a cloud of dust. As a result, all the way down, the originally orderly marching formation gradually became chaotic, and the elite soldiers naturally rushed to the front. , the ordinary soldiers were running in the middle, and the Zichong soldiers driving the grain carts were far behind. The entire team was like a long, stretched snake.
Naturally, the Yuzhou army who was busy on their way didn¡¯t expect that not far away, a group of ¡®evil wolves¡¯ had secretly stared at them! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
