Yuan Yin frowned, he always felt that it was not that simple, "Everyone keep your eyes wide open, as long as the opponent's soldiers come into range, shoot them to death with random arrows."

"Look, what are they going to do? The rope is pulled in the opposite direction, are they stupid?"

"boom!"

The siege crossbow took the lead in attacking, and the two-foot-long arrow whizzed past, smashing the city gate directly.

Yuan Yin wiped off a cold sweat, this siege crossbow is too domineering, fortunately their moat is wide enough.

"Everyone hide behind the city wall. The archers on the tower are preparing rockets. Don't let the other party take the opportunity to approach the city gate."

He wanted to see how the other party broke into the city.

"drive!"

Under the urging of the soldiers, the war horse pulling the rope rushed forward, and the strong pulling force drove the raft directly to the city gate!

The length of the raft is just enough to be delivered to the city gate.

Yuan Yin looked at the sudden raft and panicked for a moment, can he still play like this?

"Archers, burn their rafts!"

But these rafts are all soaked in water, and it is very difficult to burn them.

The soldiers on the raft stood up one after another, stumbled and rushed towards the city gate. They were very frightened by the moment just now, but if they made a mistake, their lives would be lost.

The cavalry of Yu Jin, Li Dian, and Li Zheng were impatient. Seeing their soldiers rushing into the city gate, they led the cavalry and rushed up.

"kill!"

The soldiers in Zhongli City held on for less than half an hour before disarming and surrendering.

"Damn it, that bastard Yuan Yin died in the chaos."

Yu Jin looked depressed, and he was counting on Yuan Yin to lead him the way, and then take down Yinling, but he didn't expect it to be counterproductive.

Zhuge Liang sighed and said: "If you want to go to Yinling, it seems that you need to use my method."

"Please enlighten me, Mr. Xiao!"

The three of them looked at Zhuge Liang respectfully, they were able to win Zhongli with such a small loss, thanks to Zhuge Liang's method.

Now that he thought of a way to break the trap, how could he not be excited and admired.

"The road to Yinling must be similar to Zhongli. The road twists and turns, and there are countless traps. If we go on like this, it may take us three or four days to reach Yinling."

"I suggest, use the pawns to pull the log to open the way in front, take the shortest route, and rush to Yinling quickly!"

But they dare not use surrender pawns, these people have already surrendered, they are not prisoners, and from now on they may be brothers who were born and died.

The three selected [-] soldiers and asked them to lead a dozen horses and pull logs to open the way ahead.

Yu Jin asked, "Young Master Zhuge, does Yinling City also need rafts to pave the road?"

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Yes, but according to Jin Yiwei's report, there is a suspension bridge in Yinling City, and the moat at the city gate is only three feet wide, and the other places are still about ten feet wide."

Only three feet?That's really simple, a six-foot-long raft will do.

Li Dian said respectfully: "After taking down Yinling, I will give Mr. Xiao a credit."

Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said, "No need, I didn't come here for credit. Your Majesty asked me to come here to exercise. I can't take credit for the generals."

Yu Jin praised; "Mr. Xiao, without your strategy, we might have planned to directly fill the moat, and the first credit must go to you."

Chapter 472 Losing two cities in a row, Yuan Shu panicked

"My lord, General Jin, Li Zheng, and Li Dian of the State of Wei led a large army to attack Zhongli, and are now marching towards Yinling!"

"what?"

Yuan Shu looked at Yan Xiang in panic. How could Wei's soldiers have crossed the Huai River so quickly? Could their defense be paperless?

Zhongli City was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and with his own brother in charge, how could it be captured so quickly.

Yan Xiang said: "Your Majesty, we don't know what method the opponent used to attack the city. The soldiers in the entire Zhongli City surrendered, and Mr. Yuan Yin was killed. We have to think about Yinling to send reinforcements."

"Lü Bu and Zhang Liao led an army to station on the bank of the Huaihe River just to attract our attention. Their purpose is to cover up Yu Jin and others' surprise attack on Zhongli."

"However, there are many traps along the way from Zhongli to Yinling. We still have time to support Yinling."

Yuan Shu thought for a while, Yinling is an important town, once Yinling is lost, the east gate of Jiujiang County will be opened, and the Wei army will swarm in, and there is no way to stop it.

Yuan Shu looked at Li Feng and said, "Li Feng, you lead [-] recruits to support Yinling, and you must guard Yinling for me."

"Report, report, it's not good, Yinling City was captured by Yu Jin's army!"

"what?"

"How could it be so fast!"

Yuan Shu was horrified, how long has it been?There are ten thousand guards in Yinling City, the walls are five feet high, and the moat is even wider than Zhongli's. How did they rush in?

Even if they fill in the moat, they won't be able to fill it up within three or two days.

"The opponent used a strange method to pave a road in front of the city gate, and then the siege crossbow broke through the city gate."

The siege crossbow broke through the city gate?

Are you kidding me, how big a siege crossbow would it take to break through the city gate?

Yan Xiang said bitterly: "Your Majesty, we must ask Sun Ce for reinforcements, otherwise we will be in danger."

When Yuan Shu was in trouble, he could ask Sun Ce for reinforcements, but it would be a bit unrealistic for him to attack Wu County or Kuaiji County. After all, the soldiers and horses of these two counties did not move.

If you want to contain Cao Shuo, you must attack Cao Shuo's back, otherwise his army will not retreat.

"Let the general contact Sun Ce to attack Guangling County from the south, and then go around to the rear of the Wei army."

Although it may not be successful, at least he can contain Lu Bu and Zhang Liao on the north bank of the Huaihe River. As long as they both leave, he can withdraw the soldiers along the Huaihe River.

However, not long after the envoy left, a soldier stumbled into the hall again.

"Sir, King of the Cavalry, we found Cao Shuo's banner on the north bank of the Huaihe River!"

Cao Shuo?

What is he doing in Yuzhou?

It wouldn't be Jiujiang County that wanted to attack him in an all-round way.

Yuan Shu hurriedly asked, "Where is Cao Shuo? How many people are there?"

"Cao Shuo led an army of fifty thousand and stationed in Longkang City."

Yan Xiang hurriedly asked: "How many generals did he bring?"

"I don't think much about it, Cao Shuo dispatched soldiers and horses from Yuzhou!"

Yuan Shu wiped off his cold sweat. This bastard is going to destroy himself, and he must not let the other party succeed. "Defend the Huaihe River for me. Li Feng and Lei Bo, you lead [-] soldiers, and take back Yinling City for me."

"promise!"

After the two led the army to leave, Yuan Shu sent someone to urge General Ji Ling to attack Guangling County as soon as possible. As long as they can capture Guangling County, their pressure will be much less.

In Yinling City, Yu Jin looked at Zhuge Liang with a smile on his face and said, "Young Master Zhuge, what should we do next?"

Zhuge Liang pretended to be deep and said: "Yinling is an important town in the east of Jiujiang County. Yuan Shu will definitely send troops to capture it. Under the current situation, Yuan Shu will not call the defenders of Shouchun and Dangtu."

"Only when he defeats his reinforcements and makes Yuan Shu fearful, will he take the general seriously. As long as he dares to mobilize the defenders along the Huai River, our mission will be completed."

Yu Jin hurriedly asked, "Will Yuan Shu really send an army here?"

Yuan Shu's army was all along the banks of the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River. There were not many soldiers in the city of Hefei. Where did he get the soldiers?

Zhuge Liang explained: "According to Jin Yiwei's report, Yuan Shu recruited [-] recruits in Hefei and many soldiers along the Yangtze River. These [-] recruits are his last trump card."

"Besides, Yuan Shu bought us no less than [-] sets of equipment. He will definitely equip some of the recruits and then show off in front of us."

Yu Jin said depressedly: "Why do we want to sell Yuan Shu's equipment?"

"Of course it's for food. Droughts have hit Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou one after another, and locust plagues have even appeared in Qingzhou. Gu Yong, the prefect of Kuaiji County, also said that there has been almost no rain in Yangzhou in the past month."

"Such a large-scale drought will definitely affect this year's harvest. If we don't purchase grain in advance, the price of grain will skyrocket. What will happen to so many people in Wei?"

Yu Jin nodded, even if they were a little bit harder, they couldn't cause chaos in the country due to lack of food.

However, their equipment and the equipment purchased by Yuan Shu still have a great advantage, those that will be eliminated after all, will not pose much threat to them.

"My lord is really a good emperor who loves the people!"

Zhuge Liang smiled badly, and said, "The equipment Yuan Shu bought is relatively heavy. Southerners are relatively short in stature and cannot withstand the weight of armor after a long time. Moreover, their war horses are also of inferior quality, and they cannot drag soldiers for a long time. fighting."

Everyone was amazed, this step by step was so delicately designed, Yuan Shu thought he had taken advantage of it, but in fact he was seeking his own death.

Zhuge Liang took out a simplified map, put it next to several people, and said: "Yuan Shu's army does not need so many soldiers from us to deal with it. I suggest that you divide your troops and let some of them wear Yuan Shujun's clothes to swindle the surrounding area. county seat."

He pointed out a few county towns to everyone, and everyone looked surprised, "Why go to the south? Wouldn't it be better to sneak attack the north? This would allow Lu Bu and Zhang Liao to cross the river quickly."

"No, the north is where Yuan Shu's key defense is. They will definitely deal with it carefully, and there are too many guards in the counties to the north. If we send fewer people, we won't be able to accomplish anything. If there are too many, the other party will become suspicious."

"Ji Ling in the south would never have imagined that instead of helping the soldiers on the north bank of the Huaihe River to cross the river, we would sneak up on his back."

Li Zheng suddenly realized, "This is called surprise and surprise!"

Zhuge Liang coughed dryly twice, and said, "This is a slap in the face, our purpose is not to sneak attack Ji Ling."

Several people asked with puzzled faces: "Then what are we going to do?"

Zhuge Liang touched his forehead and said speechlessly: "Have you forgotten? Our goal is Lujiang County and Jiangxia County. This place is just a bait. Of course, the more chaos the better."

"This……"

Chapter 473 A sneak attack on Yuan Shu's camp, Yuan Shu's [-] troops were destroyed

According to Zhuge Liang's strategy, the three of them left [-] infantry and handed over [-] cavalry to Li Zheng.

Li Dian led [-] cavalry, [-] infantry and [-] soldiers to capture Dingyuan County, and Yu Jin led [-] cavalry and [-] soldiers to capture Chu County.

Li Feng and Lei Bo led an army of [-] to the Yinling city, and seeing that the other party did not intend to leave the city, they were puzzled.

Li Feng ordered: "Go to the village ten miles outside the city, and send people to the city to provoke!"

Lei Bo led [-] cavalrymen to the base of the city wall and shouted, "General Anxi Lei Bo is here, the generals in the city, how dare you go out of the city to fight!"

Li Zheng looked at Zhuge Liang at the side and asked, "Sir, do we want to fight?"

Zhuge Liang asked: "How is the general's martial arts? The man under the city seems to be a general."

General Anxi, with a considerable official position, must have some ability, otherwise he would not have achieved this position.

Li Zheng said with a sullen face, "Sir, don't underestimate people. Li Dian has been learning art from me since he was a child. As his elder brother, how can I not be as good as him? What's more, my official position is higher than that of Li Dian and Yu Jin. You treat me like that." Is the official position bought?"

Zhuge Liang looked surprised. He had never seen Li Zheng make a move. Every time he charged, Li Dian charged in front and he commanded from behind. He thought Li Zheng was a Confucian general.

"General, let's stick to the city, we don't need to take risks."

Zhuge Liang didn't believe Li Zheng's words to some extent. If Li Zheng was damaged here, it would be a big blow to the soldiers.

Li Zheng said displeased: "Sir, are you looking down on me?"

Zhuge Liang said helplessly: "It's okay for the general to go to war, but you have to follow my instructions."

"it is good!"

"Fake defeat!"

"what?"

Li Zheng was confused, shouldn't he kill the enemy general?What does fraud mean?

Zhuge Liang explained: "The enemy army must be exhausted from the long-distance attack. After the general feigns defeat, if he attacks the camp tonight, he must have a good harvest!"

Li Zheng asked: "Generally, new camps will definitely prevent raids. Will it be too risky for us to do so?"

"General, just go and attack the camp. I'll tell you when you come back!"

"All right!"

Seeing that Zhuge Liang gave them advice and won many battles, he should lose someone once.

"boom!"

With a loud noise, the suspension bridge was lowered directly, and Li Zheng led two thousand cavalry to kill out.
