Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 254 Surrounded On All Sides
The three of them watched on the city wall as the soldiers of the Jizhou Army set up camp in the distance. They did not make any move to attack the city, so they felt relieved.

Hou Cheng looked back at the two of them, and said with a wry smile, "It seems that it will not be easy for us to leave."

Song Xian sighed, "That's true. Originally, the 3 Jizhou army was not sure of destroying our army. Now that it has increased by [-] people, it should be enough. That's why they blocked the south gate and completely cut off our army. You can retreat."

At this point, Song Xian paused, sighed again, and said slowly, "The Jizhou Army doesn't want to give us a way to survive now!"

Wei Xu had already lost his calm expression. Looking at the Jizhou Army in the distance, he frowned. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "The Jizhou Army is now unstable. If Wen Hou can make a decision early, he will lead us as soon as possible." It’s probably not too late to leave.”

When the two heard these words, their eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes, if you leave now, it's really too late."

……

North Gate.

"Informing Marquis Wen, the Jizhou Army has placed troops and horses at the South City Gate to completely surround Dongjun."

Hearing the news from the soldiers, Lu Bu fixed his eyes, turned his head to look in the direction of the south gate, but did not speak.

Chen Gong on the side was already sweating anxiously, "Marquis Wen, it's too bad, the Jizhou army has completely surrounded Dongjun now, and I have no way out now, I'm afraid it will be dangerous this time."

Lu Bu asked slowly, "Gongtai, originally the Jizhou army used the method of encircling three and releasing one to ambush our army, but now they take the initiative to block this gap. Why do you think this is?"

Chen Gong said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid the Jizhou army is sure of victory, there is no need to lead us out of the city, and want to use this method to trap our army to death."

Lu Bu nodded, "I'm afraid there is another idea, and that is to lower the morale of our army."

Chen Gong recalled what happened just now, and sighed, "I'm afraid it is true. The soldiers in the city will definitely feel fear when they see that they are surrounded on all sides. At that time, there may be someone..."

At this point, Chen Gong stopped before finishing his sentence, but Lu Bu understood what he wanted to say.

If the Jizhou army adopts this method, some people will definitely be afraid. At that time, they may surrender secretly.

It's just that it is someone else's city, and in this city, Lu Bu can be sure that there should be no such people.

Most of the soldiers guarding the city were former refugees. These people had suffered various hardships, and many of them were about to starve to death. It was Yanzhou who saved them.

And they should know that once Yanzhou is defeated, they will have no hope anymore. Will they be willing to return to their original lives?

The answer, this is definitely not willing!
There is still hope to survive in Yanzhou, and this city is the gate of hope. Once the city is broken, this hope will be like a bubble and will soon be extinguished.

Therefore, the soldiers in the city will basically not choose to surrender. As for the generals of the Bingzhou Army, they are all Lu Bu's old brothers. Brothers who can share life and death, it is impossible to betray.

What worried Lu Bu the most was actually the people in the city.

These people are the aboriginal people in the city. Will they stick to the city with Lu Bu?

Thinking of this, Lu Bu turned to look at Chen Gong and smiled slightly, "Gongtai, you don't have to worry, this city is our city, no one will betray us."

Speaking of this, Lu Bu paused, turned his head to look in the direction of the city, his expression became serious, "Gongtai, let the people in the county government keep patrolling and keep an eye on the people in the city, everything should be fine. .”

Chen Gong thought about the current situation and nodded with a wry smile, "Now that the matter has come to this point, there is no good way to think of. I just hope that the Jizhou Army's food will be exhausted soon, which is the only chance for our army to turn around."

Lu Bu nodded and suddenly laughed, "Gongtai, there is still a lot of food in the city. As long as everyone uses it sparingly, the first people who can't use it up will definitely be the Jizhou army."

Chen Gong said with a worried face, "Marquis Wen, the Jizhou army is besieging the city on all sides now. What I'm worried about is that if they attack from all sides at the same time, it will be terrible!"

Lu Bu frowned and thought for a while, then said slowly, "If that's the case, let's pass on the order that only 3000 reserve soldiers and horses will be left in the barracks, and the rest will all go to the city wall to stand firm."

Chen Gong shook his head with a wry smile, "If all the soldiers are allowed to climb the city wall, it can certainly increase the defense, but the soldiers have no rest time. If the Jizhou army still adopts the method of non-stop attacking day and night, I'm afraid it won't last long."

Hearing this, Lu Bu frowned and said, "There is nothing we can do about it, who made us have fewer people.

Let everyone be divided into two teams, one team will stick to the city, and the other team will rest on the city wall, or under the city wall. If something happens, they will not be caught off guard. "

Chen Gong cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I'll go to the county office right now and organize manned patrols immediately. Don't let anything happen in the city."

Lu Bu nodded, "Gongtai, I'll leave the matter in the city to you."

……

Jizhou army camp, in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Yan Liang sat in the middle, with his left hand sitting Chun Yuqiong, the coach of the second line of troops who came for reinforcements.

Chunyu Qiong is not an ordinary person, otherwise he would not have a seat in the war.

Chun Yuqiong, courtesy name Zhongjian, was born in Yingchuan.

Chunyu Qiong was once appointed as the right captain, one of the eight captains of Xiyuan, which shows how high his prestige is.

The other seven of the eight captains in Xiyuan, namely Jian Shuo, Yuan Shao, Bao Hong, Cao Cao, Zhao Rong, Feng Fang, and Xia Mou, were all able men at that time, and Chun Yuqiong was one of these eight. one.

In terms of qualifications, Chunyu Qiong's qualifications are higher than Yan Liang's, but Yan Liang's prestige is greater, so he sits in the chief seat, followed by Chunyu Qiong.

However, Chunyu Qiong, who was one of the eight captains of Xiyuan, was not convinced by Yan Liang. From his casual eyes, one could see what he was thinking.

Yan Liang looked at the people in front of him and said with a smile, "Everyone, General Chunyu Qiong has brought reinforcements. Now we have [-] troops. There is absolutely no way Lu Bu in the city can be our opponent.

Now that our army has completed the encirclement on all sides, do you have any suggestions on how to break the city?

If he can succeed, I will definitely ask for credit for him and take it as the first credit. "

Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed, Jiang Yiqu hurried forward and said with a smile, "General Yan Liang, we have so many soldiers and horses, it is not easy to take down the city, as long as we attack the city day and night, Lu Bujun will definitely not be able to hold on, and it will be easy to break the city by then."

When everyone heard these words, they nodded and laughed.

"General Jiang is right. As long as we take a strong attack, Dongjun will be defeated."
