The Three Kingdoms

"Commander Sha Ye, you deserved a lot of credit for the battle of Shouchun!"

Pan Feng, the coach of the Northern Expedition, stared at Sha Ye with a pair of copper bells and tiger eyes, and said loudly.

"The first one won the prize!"

Hearing this, Sha Ye quickly stood up, smiled slightly, and said modestly: "This battle can be so smooth, and only rely on the prestige of the hot air balloon, this is the work of His Majesty!"

This can be regarded as the second battle of the Tianpeng army, and this battle was very brilliant.

Hot air balloons allow the Air Force to truly escape the lack of terrain, take off from flat ground, and then land in cities.

During the siege of Shouchun City, the Wu army broke into the city in just one night with a loss ratio of one to three, all thanks to the Tianpeng army.

Such battle examples are enough to be recorded in the textbooks of the martial arts hall.

"It's your military exploits, it's yours. Don't be humble, I will personally ask His Majesty for your Tianpeng Army's merit!"

Pan Feng returned to the topic and said: "But now I want to ask you, can you use the Tianpeng Army to break through Ruyin City!"

"My lord, this may be difficult!"

Sha Ye thought for a while, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "In Shouchun City, we were able to succeed in one blow, because the enemy was completely unprepared, but thinking about it, the enemy army is already well prepared. Great effect, but it is difficult to achieve the situation of breaking the city overnight. After all, they have long-range weapons in their hands. Strong crossbows and bows are the enemies of our Tianpeng army. Hot air balloons are broken by arrows in the air. Our soldiers will be crushed to pieces!"

"My lord, in fact, before the army arrived in Ruyin City, I had Commander Sha Ye try it once, but the loss was heavy, and hundreds of soldiers were thrown to death!" Zhao Yun said.

"So, Ruyin City can only be attacked by force!" Pan Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.

The air force is not omnipotent anymore. Shouchuncheng and the others can succeed, but it was a sudden attack. Now that the Wei army is prepared, it will not be easy if they want to succeed.

"At present, it seems that it is indeed the case!"

Chief of Staff Xu Shu said: "Ruyin City is also a rare fortified city. If we want to take this city, it seems that we will have to spend more effort!"

"My lord, I invite you to fight!"

Gao Shun stood up, arching his hands.

"We invite you to fight!"

After watching Gao Shun ask for a battle, the army commanders immediately stood up and called for a battle to attack the city.

"it is good!"

Pan Feng looked at Gao Shun with satisfaction in his eyes. This morale was very helpful for the siege. He thought for a while and said, "Commander Gao, tomorrow your first army will tentatively attack Ruyin. Launch an attack, give me a test of how much combat power he still has!"

"promise!"

Gao Shun nodded, and quickly left the camp of the Chinese army with the generals of the first army, and went down to prepare for the attack.

"Zilong, do you think our main force can bypass Ruyin?"

The meeting in the camp continued, Pan Feng looked at the detailed marching map of Runan, and suddenly asked: "From Shangcai to Yuzhou, north to Xudu, it is also a road, taking Xudu is equivalent to capturing Yuzhou! "

"No!"

Zhao Yun didn't speak, but Xu Shu spoke first. He objected and dismissed it, saying: "My lord, Zhang Yun's force is pressing down on Ruyin, which is equivalent to suppressing our throat going north. We can indeed take a detour. , but he has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses here, which will make our retreat unsafe, and even the logistics cannot be guaranteed, so it means that the army will go deep alone. Once the battle situation is unfavorable, we will be in trouble."

"My lord, what Chief of Staff Xu said is very true. At this time, we really can't be in a hurry. The main force of the Wei army is in Yingchuan County. We can only do it step by step!"

Zhao Yun said in agreement.

"It seems that I am a little impatient. I want to take down Runan before Wei Jun has no reaction. This will make our future battle situation much more favorable, but now it seems that we still have to step by step!"

Pan Feng raised his head, sighed, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know how the battle in Nanyang is going?"

Jiujiang and Nanyang are the two routes of the Northern Expedition.

The main force is to attack Jiujiang. Now that Jiujiang has been taken, they have entered the realm of Yuzhou, but they have entered Yuzhou with troops all the way, and they are a little weak.

At this time, if Nanyang can respond and break through Nanyang and go north, it will have enough momentum to attack Yuzhou.

"The news from two days ago is still deadlocked!"

Xu Shu replied: "Zhang Xiu is not easy to deal with. Commander Lu Bu wants to lead the Flying Tiger Army to break through Nanyang. I don't think it will be so easy!"

"I don't think so, Lu Bu doesn't have the patience to fight the tug-of-war!"

Zhao Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes flickered with a strange light: "Once this stalemate situation arises, according to my understanding of Lu Bu, he is likely to resort to dangerous tactics." To be continued.

[Chapter 31 of the main text: Battle of Kanto Five]

Jingzhou, Nanyang County.

Thorny water.

The battlefield between the armies of Wu and Wei is now deadlocked on the front line of Jishui. Zhang Xiu takes Wancheng as the core and separates his troops one by one. There are three counties of Wuyin connected in a line.

This triangle defensive formation, one side is attacked, and under the control of the central government, it can be quickly reinforced, which is indeed very strong.

Lv Bu led the Flying Tiger Legion with 10,000+ elite soldiers and horses, and went northward with all his strength. He attacked repeatedly, but in the end he was still firmly blocked by the defense line formed by this triangular frame.

Yuyang City.

Flying Tiger Legion front camp.

In the main tent, Lu Bu's tall and burly body stood upright in front of the sand table, his tiger eyes condensed a cold light, firmly condensed in the terrain of the sand table.

"Zhang Xiu!!!"

Under repeated strong attacks, but he could only be crushed by Jishui, there was a touch of anxiety and anger in his heart.

"Commander, the news just came back that the Seventh Army's raid on Wuyin County failed, and Wei General Hu Che'er led the army to intercept it at Zhongyang Mountain!"

Chief of Staff Shi Tao reported: "Mr. Dong Xi was even injured by Hu Che'er himself. The injury is not serious!"

"It seems that Zhang Xiu has already prepared!"

Lu Bu frowned when he heard this, "Surprise attack is useless, now we can only attack by force!"

"Where is the attack?" Shi Tao asked.

"Guangyuan, did we arrange to surrender to Zhang Xiu before, does it have any effect?" Lu Bu asked.

"Commander, this is of little use!"

Hearing this, Shi Tao suddenly smiled wryly: "Maybe we underestimated Zhang Xiu's loyalty to Cao Wei Chaotang, he drove out all our envoys immediately, and reported the situation to Luoyang immediately, so that Show his loyalty!"

"Driven out?"
