Zhang Liao and Le Jin attacked for three consecutive rounds, but in the end they were all repelled by the opponent.
??In fact, it does not mean that the two of them are passive and lazy in the fight and deliberately delay.
But the terrain here is really difficult to defend and difficult to attack. Not only do you have to cross the rushing muddy water, but you also have to climb up a steep slope dozens of meters high to reach the enemy.
Such harsh conditions would probably be very difficult even if Sun Wu was still alive.
Cao Cao on the opposite side breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had successfully repelled the opponent's attacks.
What he is actually afraid of is that his soldiers have lost confidence due to the previous consecutive defeats and will collapse at the first touch.
Now it seems that under Wang Tu's desperate defense, the morale of the soldiers has gradually recovered, and finally it is not as sluggish as before.
However, in order to prevent Liu Ke from using the strategy of sending troops from multiple directions like his previous attack on the Western Plains again, Cao Cao had to detach some soldiers to garrison along the river.
Fortunately, the terrain in the North Plateau is much steeper than that in the West Plateau, so Liu Ke has not extended the battle line too long yet.
Zhang Liao's army was repulsed three times in a row and lost many soldiers, so he had to retreat temporarily and went to plead guilty to Liu Ke alone.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, I am unable to attack even at the end of the battle and have lost my troops and generals. Please punish me!"
Liu Ke gently raised his hand and said, "Wen Yuan, don't be impatient. I will have 10,000 soldiers with you and Wen Qian again, so you can just attack with peace of mind!"
Hearing this, Zhang Liao was very grateful and immediately returned to the front line to continue the attack.
The two sides launched a fierce tug-of-war around the muddy and watery banks, resulting in considerable casualties.
At this time, intense planning was also going on in Liu Ke's camp.
"Your Majesty, the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties. Is it time to summon General Ling Tong to take action?"
"Don't be anxious, Yuan Zhi, now is not the time!" Pang Tong on the side explained: "Although the battle situation on the front line seems tragic.
But in fact, the scale is not that big, and Cao Cao¡¯s army has not yet all attacked.
A hasty attack now will not only fail to achieve a surprise victory, but may even alarm Cao Cao and cause him to escape early. "
"Shi Yuan, having said that, we can't watch the soldiers die in vain?" Xu Shu was still worried about the casualties of ordinary soldiers.
Pang Tong said: "Yuan Zhi, you are so confused. You only see the casualties of the soldiers at this moment, but if the strategy fails, the number of casualties may be doubled.
Aren¡¯t you afraid of sacrifice at that time? "
Pang Tong¡¯s question made Xu Shu speechless for a long time, and finally he could only sigh: "Oh! Why don¡¯t I understand this truth?
It¡¯s just that I can¡¯t bear it! "
Pang Tong did not continue to speak, but Zhuge Liang on the side took the initiative to speak.
"Your Majesty, there are actually ways to reduce casualties, and they should be very effective."
When everyone heard this, they immediately became interested, and Liu Ke also asked Zhuge Liang to explain it carefully.
It turns out that Zhuge Liang's strategy is very simple. He still follows the example of attacking the Western Plains before and adopted the strategy of dividing his troops.
If this is the case, Cao Cao has few troops, so he can only pile all his troops on the front line to fully protect the river bank.
However, some people once again raised doubts. Now that there are only two attacks, the casualties are already heavy.
If the battle line is stretched longer, the casualties will be greater, and the most important thing is that it will be disadvantageous to attack for a long time, which will have a huge impact on morale.
However, Zhuge Liang gave a different view.
On the contrary, he believed that sending multiple generals to attack from all directions would not affect morale.
On the contrary, a positive atmosphere will be generated due to the courageous competition among soldiers.
After all, Liu Ke has many famous generals, and everyone has their own pride and is unwilling to succumb to others.
Now they are given a chance to compete head-on. How can the generals be willing to admit defeat?
With so many powerful generals coming out together, even Cao Cao would never be able to cope with them.
In this way, we can only continue to increase the number of troops until all the strength at hand is used up.
And Zhuge Liang¡¯s plan, although all the generals are out, is still just a feint to attract the opponent¡¯s attention.
The enemy has few soldiers and cannot take care of everything. As long as we are prepared, the casualties will not be too great.
The casualties were even higher than the current two-pronged attack. After all, Cao Jun only had two targets to attack.
After Zhuge Liang analyzed it, all the doubts in the minds of the generals were answered, and no one questioned it anymore.
Sitting in the main seatAfter listening to his strategy, Liu Ke analyzed it in his mind for a moment and thought it was feasible.
So, he immediately started arranging his troops.
¡°Kong Ming¡¯s strategy is exactly what I want, all the generals will step forward to listen to my orders!
?? Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Xu Huang, Ma Chao, Pang De, and Li Dian, I order you each to lead an army of 10,000, and to join the eight armies of Zhang Liao and Le Jin.
Launching an attack along the Nishui River must attract the attention of all Cao's troops.
Remember, I don¡¯t require you to land on the beach. As long as you can contain Cao Jun here, it will be considered a success! "
Several people immediately came out and took the order to leave.
These generals are all the most powerful in Liu Ke's hands now, and even one attack would be enough for Cao's army.
Now that all eight directions are attacking, it¡¯s thankful to be able to cope with it.
Sure enough, when these eight armies came to the shore of Mishui, Cao's camp finally exploded.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, Liu Ke has sent Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Xu Huang, Ma Chao, Pang De, and Li Dian together with Zhang Liao and Le Jin, a total of eight troops.
When everyone in the tent heard this, they were all shocked.
Even Cao Cao's expression changed slightly.
He said calmly: "Instruct all soldiers and horses to defend along the line and be sure to block the enemy's advancing route.
We must block all these eight armies on the other side of the river at all costs! "
When the generals heard this, they quickly ran out to defend.
At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly called out to Cao Zhang, who was walking at the end.
"Zhang'er, your injury has not healed yet, so you don't have to go for the time being. I have other plans for you!"
When the other generals heard this, they didn¡¯t think much about it. After all, the scene where Cao Zhang was injured by Lu Bu was still vivid in his mind.
When Cao Zhang heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself: "Is my father going to use that plan so early?"
Because only the father and son knew about Cao Zhang's previous expedition.
Now that Cao Cao leaves Cao Zhang alone, what else could it be?
As expected, Cao Cao quietly ordered Cao Zhang to lead his troops and horses to move to the outside closest to the road for the time being, ready to break out at any time.
Cao Zhang looked confused: "Father, now that the enemy has been unable to attack for a long time and suffered heavy losses, I have the advantage, so why do I still need to plan a way out?"
Cao Cao glanced at him and explained patiently: "Zhang'er, if you don't have long-term worries, you must have immediate worries.
Although Liu Ke has suffered heavy losses at the moment, our army is also not small.
The most important point is that Liu Ke has many soldiers and generals, so he can afford losses, but our army cannot afford losses! "(Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
