Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 176

Cao Cao also saw Zhang Yi under the city, and it was a bit difficult not to see that tall figure of Zhang Yi.Cao Cao really wanted to go up and talk to Zhang Yi, and ask him why he rebelled!
But think about it again!Cao Zhen came back from Xia Houyuan a few days ago and told Cao Cao a guess.Cao Cao was also certified by Chen Deng and Yu Jin, and he couldn't help but think that his fate was bad!
In fact, Cao Cao didn't care much about Zhang Yi killing Cao Ang and Dian Wei.The two armies are at war!There is bound to be damage, and no one can guarantee that nothing will happen.

But he also knows why Zhang Yi is like this, just like Zhang Xiu, he is also trembling when facing Cao Cao now.Anyway, Cao Ang is Cao Cao's son, Cao Cao doesn't mind, how can Zhang Xiu and Zhang Yi not mind?

You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others!What's more, not everyone in the Cao family is as generous as Cao Cao!
Cao Pi, Cao Cao's retrained heir, has been brooding about this matter.When Zhang Yi first fled to the past, Cao Pi knew that he belonged to Zhang Xiu, so he always wanted to deal with him.

When Zhang Yi was in Liyang, Cao Pi would look at him with hostile eyes every time Zhang Yi went to see Cao Cao.Zhang Yi was really afraid that he would have someone kill him one day, that's why he thought about taking Shouchun with him here.Then he found Yuxi in Shouchun, and Zhang Yi's ambition grew completely.

Although Cao Cao didn't know all about this, he could guess all kinds of things.Don't say that Cao Pi is hostile to Zhang Yi and Zhang Xiu, but which of his generals is not hostile?

No matter what, now that he and Zhang Yi are facing each other, he must be defeated.

Cao Cao looked at the city wall, and there were only 2000 people.Ping'an County is relatively small, even if there are soldiers and horses in the city, there will not be too many.As an expert in using soldiers, Cao Cao knew that there must be less than 5000 soldiers in the city.

After returning to the camp, Cao Cao also received the report of visiting the horses. Zhang Yi actually divided the army into five parts, each with about [-] people.

Moreover, these five parts are quite difficult to handle. They are separated by thirty or forty miles, and they can support each other.There are generals stationed in every section, Li Jing, Master Shang, Gan Ning, but Zhou Tai of the water village is not well-known.

Cao Cao also has some difficulties. This is a long snake formation, moving from the head to the tail, moving from the tail to the head, and moving from both ends in the middle.The only thing Cao Cao can do is to divide his troops and let people block the reinforcements so that he can focus on one place for attack.

Xun You suggested: "Although Ping'an City is small, it is also blocked by high walls. Why not attack the left and right battalions first and lure Zhang Yi out of the city for a decisive battle."

Guo Jia also said: "We should attack Gan Ning. The only ones who can support Gan Ning in time are Ping'an and Shuizhai. The water forts are all naval forces, and the land battle must be weaker. In this way, our chances of winning are better."

But Xu You didn't think so, "The so-called capture of the thief and the king, the morale of Zhang Yi's army is high, you must first defeat Zhang Yi and hit his morale, and then you can defeat him in one fell swoop. I can retreat."

Cao Cao agreed with Xu You's point of view. Xun You and Guo Jia's strategies are very good, but he doesn't have so much time.

Xun You said: "According to the Huai River, it will be more than a month, and it is impossible to capture Ping'an. If our army cannot capture Ping'an, it will only increase Zhang Yi's arrogance."

Xun You's worry was very reasonable, but Xu You said sarcastically: "Xun Gongda is so timid, how can he achieve great things? Do everything according to the destiny, how can you accomplish anything if you don't use human resources?"

Cao Cao hurriedly said, "Don't worry about Ziyuan, Gongda is cautious."

Cao Cao actually thought what Xu You said was right. If Zhang Yi's arrogance could not be dispelled, it would be very difficult to deal with Zhang Yi in the future.If Zhang Yi cultivated the reputation of being victorious in all battles, his soldiers would be three points weaker before fighting, then what a fart!

Therefore, even if it is to suppress Zhang Yi, it is necessary to directly attack Ping An.

"Let the craftsmen install the siege equipment as soon as possible, and we will attack the city of peace."

Guo Jia said: "My lord, why don't we send people to attack the water village and burn down its boats, maybe it can reduce our logistical pressure!"

Cao Cao nodded. If the water fortress was captured, Zhang Yi's navy would not be threatening him when the Huai River was opened, and he might be able to stay south of the Huai River for a few more days.Although the logistics of passing the Huai River are still relatively difficult, at least it is safe.

"Xu Huang, you lead 3000 people to attack the water village."

"No!" Xu Huang agreed immediately.

"During the siege, Zhang Liao led 3000 troops to block Shang and his disciples, and Zhu Ling led 3000 troops to block Gan Ning."

"Promise!" Zhang Liao and Zhu Ling took the order.

After the arrangements were made, Cao Cao just waited for the siege equipment to be installed.Two days later, Cao Cao began to attack the city, and more than a dozen vehicles rushed, crashed, and pushed towards Ping'an City.

Zhang Yi stood on the top of the city tower and looked at it. The cold wind blew by, making some goose bumps on his face.The cold wind on the city wall is much colder than that below. If he hadn't accumulated a lot of chicken, duck and goose down in the past two years to make a lot of down jackets, the winter would have been really hard.

He put his hat on, which was much better.In the cold winter, Zhang Yi especially missed Shouchun's warm kang.He is a man who wants to keep warm, and he has popularized the heating equipment such as kang to the south of the Yangtze River. Without the kang, winter is simply unbearable.

Especially in the winter in the south, the inside of the house is not as warm as the outside, and it is cold in the bed.No wonder there is only one Huangxiang warm seat in 24 Filial Piety!If there is no one to warm up the mat, once you enter the bed, you will not feel sleepy at all!That's why rich people have maids for warm seats, it's really not because of lust!You must know that there is no distinction between men and women when using warm mat maids.

Fighting in winter is very painful. Zhang Yi understands this very well, so he gives the soldiers the best measures to feed and warm them.Seeing everyone around him wearing down jackets, he felt very happy. It was good not to be cold.

"Get ready! Archery!"

Archers shoot arrows at Cao Jun crashing and charging cars, while crossbowmen shoot arrows at Jinglan!

A rain of arrows brushed past, the hit rate is not very good!Zhang Yi sighed in his heart. Although he kept warm, he was still a bit helpless!You can't wear gloves yet, and the hit rate is lower if you wear gloves.

Fortunately, the influence of the crossbowmen was not that great, as long as they continued to aim after all.So they all wore gloves, and shot many Cao Jun on Jinglan to death.

Cao Jun naturally counterattacked, but Cao Jun on Jinglan shot back and found that the range was not enough.Hastily asked the soldiers below to push forward again, and they all tried to stay behind the wooden fence as much as possible.

In this way, Cao Jun will have to bear several rounds of arrows from Zhang Yi.

This is what Zhang Yi wanted. He also took out his own bow, looked at a well rail a hundred steps away, and shot it with an arrow, which hit the wheel at the bottom of it.

"Card!"

The arrow broke off, but there was still an iron arrow left on it, and when Jinglan moved forward, it got stuck on the ground.
