Conquer all worlds starting from the mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 632 Falling into a trap
In response to Zhou Yu's question, all the officers present fell silent.
Everyone knows their own business. It is not easy to be a commander. All the generals and officers come from different factions. It is not easy to integrate them together.
"In that case, I will be the commander of the Central Camp. I just don't know which general is willing to take over my position to guard this city!"
Seeing this, Zhou Yu also changed his target, but this was also Zhou Yu's own calculation.
At least after doing this, not only will you be doing a righteous thing, but you will also be formally appointed and be able to take the initiative in command.
"Let me do it!"
This time someone immediately stood up to take over. That person was Cao Ren. Cao Cao was short of manpower and had no top-level entourage. Cao Ren planned to take on the task of defense from the very beginning.
"General Cao Ren is good at defense, so it is most appropriate to hand over the city defense to you!" Zhou Yu glanced at Cao Ren and nodded.
He was very clear about Cao Ren's legion talent. He had previously analyzed Cao Ren's legion talent and turned it into a secret technique. Moreover, Cao Ren himself was good at defense, so handing over the city defense to Cao Ren was the most appropriate choice.
"In that case, leave 100,000 troops in each of the two border towns, and station the rest of the army in the central camp to deal with the enemy!"
Seeing that someone was taking over his position to defend the city, Zhou Yu organized his words and made quick arrangements.
"The camp is arranged in a five-army camp layout. Generals Ma Chao, Sun Ce, and Zhou Tai are stationed in the left camp, and the Yu family army is stationed in the rear camp."
"The front camp is guarded by General Zhang Fei's Youyun Cavalry, General Wutugu's Rattan Armor Army, and Africanus's Eighth Giant Legion, supplemented by 20,000 imperial guards and 10,000 Danyang!"
"The right camp is guarded by General Meng Huo's barbarian soldiers, General Lu Junyi's Qilin Army, and General Taishi Ci's personal guards."
"General Oswin, General Urdu and the rest of the generals will garrison the center army with me!"
Zhou Yu made a simple arrangement. Hundreds of thousands of people were squatting in a large camp, which was not convenient to mobilize, so Zhou Yu divided it into five parts and used the camps to form a fixed Xuanxiang military formation to strengthen the strength of the army.
The Qing court and the Mongol Yuan side also made corresponding adjustments. The most intuitive arrangement was that the Mongolian reinforcements, along with some of the Qing court's criminal soldiers, began to attack the city defended by Lu Xun.
Both border towns began to bear the pressure of the siege, and this time, the tepid attack method from before was not lived up to. Without giving the two cities even a little breathing time, the attacks continued for 24 hours.
The central army camp was facing Zhou Yu and his men's camp, meaning, "I'm here, come and fight me if you have the guts!"
Zhao Yun rode his white horse and searched the battlefield within a hundred miles, making sure that the only enemies were those concentrated in front of them.
Zhou Yu looked at the intelligence with a frown on his face. There was no doubt that the other party was forcing them to abandon their camp and launch an offensive.
"Report, General Zhao has sent a message. It has been confirmed that this is the enemy's entire strength. Except for the more than 100,000 troops stationed near the opponent's space gate, the rest of the soldiers are all here!" Lu Meng reported to Zhou Yu with the message from Zhao Yun.
"In that case, all we have to face are these 500,000-odd people!" Zhou Yu looked at the map solemnly.
The enemy's camp was set up in a very tricky location, similar to theirs, so the troops attacking the cities on both sides could return to support them as soon as possible.
Once the two sides go to war, the other side will deploy all its troops before they do.
If they continue like this, the two cities will be breached sooner or later. It seems that every choice is not a good one.
"The opponent's layout is very clever. It has been linked together since the beginning. They have calculated us completely. They are definitely not an ordinary opponent!"
"Then what should we do? According to the reports from the two cities, they should be able to hold out for another half a month!" Lu Meng said in a deep voice.
Siege is a troublesome job most of the time, because in order to increase the marching speed of the army, they basically do not carry a large number of siege equipment, which greatly increases the difficulty of the siege.
However, in this cross-world imperial war, logistics has never been a problem. During this period, the Qing army transported a large number of siege equipment, including towers, flying bridges, ladders, catapults, etc., and launched an almost non-stop attack.
Even if they had the secret techniques to support them, they would still be overwhelmed for a while, especially Qingting's Heaven and Earth Essence Cannon, which had an astonishing output power without any interference.
The barrier that was originally able to last for a month was reduced by half under the bombardment of these cannons, making their defense even more difficult.
Zhou Yu knew very well that placing the weaker soldiers in the two cities was in order to maximize their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.
In fact, this was indeed achieved. The casualty ratio between the army with lower average quality and the Qing court was one to two, which was considered a very successful arrangement.
However, now they were forced to attack the enemy's camp, which put them at a considerable disadvantage.
It's not that Zhou Yu lacks wisdom, but a real gap in strength. If Zhou Yu's subordinates were all regular Xinghan troops, Zhou Yu would have gone all in and confronted the opponent head-on.
But the problem is that they are not as strong as the opponent. Even if Mu Yi has a lot of support, their own foundation is shallow. In a head-on confrontation, just based on the quality of their soldiers, they will have at least a 10% chance of winning.
"No more waiting. Send a message to General Zhao Yun and ask him to closely monitor the armies attacking the city on both sides. We will lead the troops to attack the camp!" Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and gave a decisive order. Instead of hesitating here, it is better to make a decision immediately.
"Then we'll set off tomorrow?"
Lu Meng looked at Zhou Yu solemnly. Even though Lu Meng's strategic vision was slightly inferior to Zhou Yu's, he could still see that actively attacking the camp was actually the worst choice. But sometimes the worst choice, at least there is still a choice.
Once the two cities fall, their chances of winning will be even lower.
"I have a rough idea of General Zhang Liao's position. As long as we can contain the enemy's main force head-on, General Zhang Liao will definitely give us a surprise."
Zhou Yu took a deep breath. Zhao Yun had searched the area within a hundred miles, even around the enemy's base camp, but still couldn't find Zhang Liao. So Zhou Yu had actually almost determined Zhang Liao's location.
He couldn't help but admire Zhang Liao's courage and carefulness, so when he had no other choice, Zhou Yu made the worst choice.
But at least they still have a choice. If they really have no choice, they will completely lose the strategic initiative.
These days, they also launched tentative attacks to verify the defensive capabilities of the opponent's camp from all directions, and finally determined that the opponent's defense level was very high and there were no loopholes.
If you want to attack the camp, the only option is to storm it by force.
This means that the time and energy they need to spend to attack the opponent will increase significantly, and the difficulty will also increase significantly.
"Should we consider having our men, while launching a frontal attack, pretend to abandon the city walls to drag the enemy into street fighting, while at the same time sending a detachment and the garrison to attack from both inside and outside?" Lu Meng proposed an idea.
"It is indeed feasible..." Zhou Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded solemnly. The suggestion proposed by Lu Meng was indeed creative.
"Send a message to Cao Ren... No, send a message to Lu Xun. You will take Oswin, Urdu, and Africanus with you to cooperate with them and try to strangle the enemy's flank!"
Zhou Yu nodded solemnly and finally adopted Lu Meng's suggestion. This was indeed a good suggestion. It could reduce their pressure while maximizing the subjective initiative of the city defending troops.
The reason for choosing Lu Xun was mainly because Lu Xun's spiritual talent might have a miraculous effect.
At this time, all we can trust is the on-the-spot performance of the officers.
"Send troops directly tomorrow, don't hide anything, and tell them our plan directly!"
……
Early the next morning, Zhou Yu ordered the army to break camp and march directly towards the Qing army camp.
Without any disguise, the army of more than 300,000 marched with a mighty pace, advancing at a slow but determined pace. With every distance they advanced, their momentum became higher.
This marching method looks quite silly and advances very slowly, but it is steady. The action of advancing slowly forward is constantly building up the momentum of the army.
At the same time, Zhou Yu continued to connect each part through the organizational power provided by Danyang, making the flow of clouds above the army smoother and providing more blessings to the army.
At the same time as Zhou Yu was advancing, Lu Meng led 30,000 people towards Lu Xun. The closer he got, the more frightened he felt, and even his vision went dark.
"General Lu, I'm afraid there's a problem ahead!"
Oswald reported to Lu Meng with a frown. He could vaguely feel that the shadow of death ahead was so huge that it was almost enough to cast a shadow on the sun in his heart.
Oswald had only seen this level of shadow once in his life, and that was during the war of annihilation of Persia.
"We've come this far. Even if there are enemies ahead, we'll have no choice but to fight!" Lu Meng used his spiritual talent to imitate Sun Quan's abilities.
They also felt the shadow of death and the dark state that almost enveloped them, but Lu Meng knew the necessity of their action and had to bite the bullet and move forward.
At this moment they heard an eagle's cry, but before the falconer could speak, an arrow flashed from the front, and the war eagle let out a mournful cry and fell from the sky, landing in front of the army.
These war eagles were given to them by Meng Huo, and they also gave them an additional means of reconnaissance besides white horses.
At this moment, War Eagle died a violent death, obviously the enemy was ambushing them.
"Defend against enemies and arrows!"
Lu Meng gave the order loudly. In fact, at the moment the war eagle fell, he had already activated his spiritual talent reflexively and bestowed Cao Ren's legion talent on the soldiers.
He couldn't do the multiple superposition like Zhuge Liang, but he could still imitate individuals individually.
"Eternal Golden Sun!"
Oswald simply raised up the sun formed by the talent of his legion and began to search for the enemy naturally. At the same time, the veteran soldiers under his command also naturally formed a formation for defense.
However, after half a while, nothing happened, but Lu Meng's tense spirit did not relax at all.
Because the shadow of death that was approaching danger not only did not weaken, but became even thicker.
Africanus was silent for a moment, and then his expression suddenly changed.
"It's a legion similar to the Fifth Skylark. No, it's a group light and shadow shield!"
"Danyang soldiers, rain arrows down on the ground ahead!" Upon hearing this, Lu Meng gave the order loudly without any hesitation.
He was well aware of the disgusting nature of the Roman Fifth Skylark Legion, and he absolutely could not sit there and wait for death at this time.
No matter whether the opponent is in that direction or not, since the arrow is coming from roughly that direction, just attack. The arrow is not valuable.
Let’s start with a rain of arrows to clear the ground!
Anyway, everyone had sufficient logistics, and the most supplies Lu Meng brought when going on the expedition were arrows. Each soldier was given three pots of arrows, and he also asked other soldiers to bring two pots.
If you find something wrong, don't worry about whether you can see it or not, just attack. Danyang's rain of arrows is at the level of a ten-stone strong bow, after all, and can penetrate the defenses of most legions.
After quickly shooting three waves of arrows, the opponent did not fight back. Lu Meng could not help but frown. At this time, Africanus had already picked up the war eagle.
"Killed him with one shot, he must be a sharpshooter at least on the level of Zhebie!"
The Africanas had a solemn look on their faces. They had dealt with Mongolia before and naturally knew that the most elite archer among the Mongolian archers was called Jebe, and every sharpshooter at the level of Jebe had at least the ability to leave the body with internal energy.
"Should we retreat? This place is too weird!" Oswald hesitantly proposed the plan to retreat.
"It's too late!" Lu Meng looked at the vaguely appearing Mongolian soldiers and the sound of horse hooves coming from behind, and said with a pale face, "We have fallen into a trap."
Lu Meng didn't know how he fell into the trap, but he was sure that the other party was certain from the beginning that they would choose to attack Lu Xun.
"Is there a traitor? No, we deliberately concealed our actions from the Yu family army. Even if the other party is a traitor, they would not be able to know. So this should be some kind of means of peeking into the future?" Lu Meng analyzed the situation quickly in his mind.
The enemy had been lying in ambush in this place for a long time, and had made a special plan to target Bai Ma. If Meng Huo had not kindly given them war eagles for reconnaissance, they might have stepped directly into the trap.
Regardless, they have now fallen into the trap, and there is no point in discussing why they fell into the trap.
With the appearance of the four guards in the front and back, the ambush was completely exposed. As the four guards appeared in front and back, three in the back and one in the front, it was as if they had found the core and quickly became one. A powerful momentum looked down on them, suppressing Lu Meng and others.
What made Lu Meng and others look even uglier was that the Mongolian cavalry that appeared in front of them, although the number of people ambushing them was equal to theirs, their strength level was completely beyond their expectations.
