Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 394 Seems a bit weird
Facing the new defense system constructed by Xiangyang City, Tai Shici felt embarrassed for a while, but quickly let go of his thoughts.

He was here to feint, since it was not the main attack, he only needed to attract Liu Biao's attention.

So after a day of repairing at Fenglin Pass, Tai Shici led his troops from Fenglin Pass to a location about five miles south of Xiangyang City, where he stopped and began to build a frontier camp with great fanfare.

Taishi Ci deliberately made more noise behind the army, as if the army was slowly moving later. At the same time, the military camp he built here was directly connected to Fenglin Pass in the rear. In fact, He also deliberately tried to use Fenglin Pass to conceal the actual number of his troops.

After all, there is a big difference in the movement that Zhu Wei's tens of thousands of troops can make and the more than 1 regular soldiers and more than 5000 auxiliary soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion. Therefore, only in this way can Liu Biao of Xiangyang City not You will realize that there is a problem with the number of Zhu Wei's army.

At the same time, on the south gate of Xiangyang City, Liu Biao sat on the archery tower again, watching the movement of Zhu Wei's army attacking Xiangyang from a distance.

It's just that the famous generals around him are gone, his son Liu Qi has fallen in Yicheng, and now there are some ordinary unknown generals and military lords here.

Although Liu Biao didn't know Liu Qi's life or death yet, Liu Biao already had a bad feeling in his heart. Whether Liu Qi died or was caught by Zhu Wei, it would not be a good ending.

In addition, the counselor standing under Liu Biao at this time has also become Kuai Liang. To be honest, Kuai Liang is also very worried about the whereabouts of his younger brother Kuai Yue. After all, Kuai Yue is an outstanding son of the Kuai family in Jingzhou. younger brother.

But Kuai Yue failed to come back from Yicheng, and Kuai Liang was very uneasy. In Kuai Liang's mind, Kuai Yue should have been his successor as head of the Kuai family. Kuai Liang's health was actually not very good, so in the original history Before the Battle of Chibi, Kuai Liang had already died of illness.

It's a pity that there is no news at the moment, Kuai Liang can only help Liu Biao guard Xiangyang City first, and slowly inquire about Kuai Yue's news.

Of course, for Liu Biao, only after defending Xiangyang and consuming the food and supplies of Zhu Wei's army, can he have the opportunity to call in reinforcements from all over the country to fight back against Zhu Wei.

To be honest, Zhu Wei's surprise attack on Jingbei this time also caught Liu Biao by surprise, otherwise Liu Biao would never have divided his troops to meet Zhu Wei's army temporarily in Yicheng.

That's why Liu Biao seemed so passive as he was now, and could only retreat to Xiangyang City step by step.

But for Liu Biao, the current situation is only a temporary setback.

Liu Biao believed that if he could rely on Xiangyang City for a period of time, even if he could not find regular soldiers to help, he could still use his reputation in the local gentry and powerful classes in Nanjun to get the support of private soldiers gathered by local gentry and powerful families.

This is also Liu Biao's background in Nanjun. It just depends on whether he can defend Zhu Wei's early attack and maintain his local prestige.

Of course, although Liu Biao lost more than 2 regular soldiers in the previous battle of Yicheng, he could be considered to have seen Zhu Wei's siege methods, so he came up with these defensive methods after returning to Xiangyang City, which really gave Liu Biao More confidence can hold Xiangyang and make Zhu Weiyin hate the city.

Now Liu Biao is playing defensive and counterattack tactics. It is best to consume a large amount of Zhu Wei's troops when Zhu Wei attacks Xiangyang City, and then Liu Biao can look for opportunities to counterattack.

But at this moment, Liu Biao looked at the movement of Zhu Wei's army in the distance, and his eyes couldn't help being a little complicated. For some reason, he felt that Zhu Wei's army seemed a little weird.

"Zirou, Zhu Wei's army seems a bit weird to me. How do you feel? Alas, Zhu Wei is really cunning and cunning. He used different tactics in the past, but now he lives and dies with my son. It was Deng Yi's rear reinforcements, and they also fell together, I am really not sure about this son's plan now!"

Liu Biao looked at Tai Shici in the distance, arranging his soldiers to line up in front, and protecting the rear to build the military stronghold. He couldn't help but look at Kuai Liang, and asked with a somewhat uncertain tone.

Hearing this, Kuai Liang also watched the changes of Zhu Wei's army in the distance, and observed some unusual aspects. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he said to Liu Biao, "Ming Gong, Zhu Wei's army is indeed a bit strange this time. , the banner of Zhu Wei's former army is Taishici of the Shenjian Camp, but the camp is being built later, but this Shenjian Battalion does not look like the vanguard of Zhu Wei's army! As for the distance, although it looks dusty, there is a large army The image, however, lacks the spirit of soldiers, and although there are flags and flags waving, it is really messy, and it does not look like the image of Zhu Wei's elite soldiers marching, Ming Gong, could it be that the main force of Zhu Wei's army is not here!"

"I also have the same intention, but this time is probably Zhu Wei's strategy again, Zi Rou, if the main force of Zhu Wei's army is not here, where will it go? Could it be Liu Ziguan? If so, I'm afraid I can't attack easily Go to the north of Xiangyang City! Then where will Zhu Wei's army go? Could it be another scheme to lure our army out of the city?"

Liu Biao also felt the same problem, but he was afraid that it was Zhu Wei's deliberate trick. He was somewhat frightened by Zhu Wei's trick.

Kuai Liang thought for a while at the side, then shook his head and said, "Then Zhu Wei will never attack Liuziguan, it will take a detour, and it will not gain much. As for the trick to lure the enemy, I want to come to our army now It is also not easy to go out of the city to fight back! In this case, could it be that Zhu Wei is going to mobilize troops to fight Jiangling, or to fight Xinye, Wancheng Wenpin, and Zhangxiu? He wants to attack these places where our troops gather first, and then attack Xiangyang? Oh, no, Duke Ming, Zhu Wei may have gone to attack Fancheng! However, even if Zhu Wei takes down Fancheng, it will only cut off a part of Xiangyang’s support, but it doesn’t matter much!”

Obviously Kuai Liang is still not familiar with the strength of Zhu Wei's army. Although he somewhat guessed Zhu Wei's possible actions, he didn't understand the significance of Zhu Wei's attack on Fancheng.

"Fighting Fancheng? Well, it's also possible. Fancheng is rarely on the defensive. If Zhu Wei mobilizes troops to attack, I'm afraid it really can't resist. Hey..., no, I heard that Zhu Wei attacked Qiantang in Wu County and Jiangxia Xiling before. At that time, they all used some kind of palm lightning skills to break through the water gate and enter. Could it be that Zhu Wei wanted to attack the north water gate of Xiangyang City?"

At first, Liu Biao didn't think it would be so bad if he lost Fancheng. As Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan had discussed before, Fancheng had no advantage in terms of location. Liu Biao also had plans. up.

But soon Liu Biao thought of Zhu Wei's previous two siege battles, and immediately became worried...
