Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 654 I want to launch a sneak attack tonight
Now Liu Bei is very clear about the situation he is facing, and he has no way out in Xuzhou.

On Cao Cao's side, he has basically lost the value of containing Lu Bu. If Zhu Wei were to control Xuzhou, Cao Cao would definitely not think that he could contain Zhu Wei. Then Cao Cao might not be willing to fight against Zhu Wei for Liu Bei's sake up.

In addition, although he had some agreement with Zhu Wei before, maybe he could use Zhu Wei's power to counter Cao Cao, but now Liu Bei also figured it out, and Zhu Wei also didn't need to use a small force like him to contain Cao Cao.

Originally Lu Bu was just a wolf, so Cao Cao could raise Liu Bei as a dog to fight against wolves, but now that Cao Cao and Zhu Wei are both fierce tigers, how could he let his little dog stand beside him, I'm afraid they would swallow him first Stomach.

So if Liu Bei can't capture Xuzhou this time, I'm afraid Zhu Wei won't tolerate him staying in Xiaopei at will.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei had an idea in his mind. Anyway, he was not willing to lose the opportunity to capture Xuzhou so easily. Maybe he had to give it a try. If it didn't work, he should vote for Yuan Shao.

Liu Bei also found a way out for himself. If he couldn't do it, he led his troops and fled to join Yuan Shao. Perhaps by virtue of his status as a clan member of the Han family, he could still find some opportunities on Yuan Shao's side.

"Xuan Gao, now that our army is here, if we withdraw like this, it will make the world laugh at us, even Zhu Wei will laugh at us and ran away before we saw him! So this time we have to seize Go down to Pengcheng, so that you can have the confidence to negotiate with Zhu Wei!"

After Liu Bei had an idea in his mind, he encouraged Zang Ba like a fool. Now he didn't want Zang Ba to retreat directly, and it would be even more difficult to attack Pengcheng with his army left.

At the same time, Liu Bei also wanted to drag Zang Ba to fight Pengcheng first, and let Zang Ba offend Zhu Wei, so that he could pull Zang Ba into his boat.

At that time, Liu Bei's capital will be even greater, which will naturally make Yuan Shao pay more attention to him, and he can gain greater benefits from Yuan Shao's side.

Zang Ba didn't have as many careful thoughts as Liu Bei. He frowned and thought about it and felt that Liu Bei's words were right. He had already brought an army to Pengcheng, so he went back without getting any benefits.

Not to mention that he will be underestimated by Zhu Wei in the future, even those Taishan thieves under his opponents are not easy to explain.

So Zang Ba stabilized his mind and said, "Okay, just follow Xuande's words! Let's go back and repair it first, and attack Zhang Liao's camp first tomorrow! If Wei Xu in that city sends troops to help, we can just look for an opportunity to counterattack Pengcheng !"

Now Zhang Liao's camp was facing the north gate of Pengcheng, so Zang Ba could imagine that if they sent troops to attack Zhang Liao's camp, the defenders in Pengcheng might come out from the north gate to support Zhang Liao.

Zang Ba couldn't help but have a plan in mind to encircle the point and mobilize reinforcements, but now he only thought that Wei Xu was in charge of Pengcheng, but he did not expect that Lu Lingqi controlled the military power in Pengcheng.

"Okay, back to camp!"

Liu Bei agreed and made a plan with Zang Ba. Then Liu Bei turned to Zhang Liao on the gate of the camp and shouted loudly, "Wen Yuan, even if you don't listen to the advice, we will have to fight with each other! Now that all Pengcheng has left behind are just new soldiers, how can they withstand Hexuan Gao's army? Wenyuan, please think twice and don't make the mistake! I'll see you on the battlefield tomorrow!"

"Don't bother Mr. Xuande! Tomorrow, Zhang Liao will wait for Mr. Xuande!"

Hearing that Liu Bei had finally announced the declaration of war, Zhang Liao responded loudly.

Immediately after Liu Bei and Zang Ba led the troops back, Zhang Liao sent a team of scouts to chase after Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army to investigate the camp situation of Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army. Hou Cheng and Hou Cheng discussed it.

"Song Xian, Hou Cheng, now that Liu Bei and Zang Ba are attacking together, their strength may reach [-]. If they attack tomorrow with all their camps, I'm afraid the army will not be able to resist it. I intend to send troops to attack tonight. , may be successful! Song Xian, you stay in the army camp tonight, Hou Cheng will go out with a certain person, and a certain person will only bring three thousand old soldiers from Bingzhou. , Zang Ba's army!"

Zhang Liao's eyes were shining brightly, obviously he had also made up his mind to attack Liu Bei and Zang Ba's camp at night, and he also knew the strength of his army, only the three thousand old soldiers from Bingzhou had some combat effectiveness.

Now he also sees that in tomorrow's battle, Liu Bei and Zang Ba will definitely attack his army camp as the main direction, and with the strength of Liu Bei and Zang Ba's coalition forces, if they attack his army camp by force, he is really not sure that they can defend it.

Therefore, only by taking the initiative to attack now can we have a chance to fight.

"Wen Yuan, if Liu Bei and Zang Ba are prepared, wouldn't it be a bad idea!"

Hou Cheng heard that Zhang Liao was going to lead him on a night attack, and he also heard that Zhang Liao said that there was no way out, as if he was giving Song Xian instructions about his future affairs, but he hesitated in his heart. After all, Zhang Liao was not Lu Bu. If Lu Bu issued an order like this , Hou Cheng had nothing to say, but now it was just Zhang Liao's words, so Hou Cheng could not help but have his own little thoughts.

"It's okay, if we are prepared, our army can just harass it, but our army can't stick to this army stronghold, so if we can't break through the army stronghold of Liu Bei and Zang Ba in tonight's battle, then I will lead the army to attack on the periphery. Wait for the opportunity to move again! Now as long as we can delay the time and wait for the reinforcements from General Zhennan to arrive, everything will be worry-free!"

Zhang Liao understood that he could not arbitrarily assign a general like Hou Cheng who was originally of similar status to him, so he could only hold back and explain his tactical arrangement to Hou Cheng.

Zhang Liao knew that only tonight when Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army first arrived and built a new camp, and the army was exhausted, would he have the opportunity to attack at night, and tomorrow, if Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army attacked, would he be able to hold on to his side? If there is still a problem, then you will lose your initiative.

In fact, this time Zhang Liao built his camp by the Sishui River, but did not close to the north gate of Pengcheng, that is, he did not want his army to be surrounded by Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army in Pengcheng.

He still wanted to lead his troops to wait for opportunities outside Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army, so that Pengcheng's defense would not lose its agility, and there could be a certain internal and external response, so that Liu Bei and Zang Ba could not attack Pengcheng with all their strength. .

Of course, the most important reason for this is that among Zhang Liao's 300 Bingzhou old troops, there is a Bingzhou iron cavalry of about [-] people.

The Bingzhou iron cavalry could be regarded as a heavy armored cavalry unit in the early days of the Three Kingdoms. It was a powerful cavalry unit that could be called the Xiliang cavalry. Therefore, Zhang Liao did not want this cavalry to lose its original advantage and be wasted in defensive battles. Use up.

The cavalry troops can only give full play to their combat advantages when they are guerrilla outside the city. As a cavalry general, Zhang Liao will not easily waste the combat effectiveness of these cavalry troops.

This time Zhang Liao wanted to use the combat power of Bingzhou cavalry to attack Liu Bei and Zang Ba's barracks at night...
