The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

"Oh, does De Jong have any tricks?"

Zhang Ji then continued: "I heard that the enemy's siege equipment has a shortcoming, that is, it moves slowly and has high requirements on the terrain.

We dug the potholes in the land outside the city, and at the same time diverted Jing water to irrigate them, making it even more muddy and difficult to walk.

At that time, the siege equipment will not be able to enter, and naturally it will not be able to threaten the city!

Moreover, when the other party builds the road, our army will go out of the city to harass, affecting the other party's progress.

Not to mention too much, one or two months can definitely be delayed.

As long as Ma Chao's army is firmly trapped here, the threat of the enemy on the king's back will be lifted. "

"Hahahaha, De Rong is a really capable minister! Send the order to immediately excavate the land three miles outside the city.

And divert Jing water to irrigate, this general will spend it with him in Linjing! "

Just do what you say, Cao Jun has a lot of power, and in just two days, the entire outside of Linjing City was dug with potholes and devastated.

Those who don't know think that this place has already endured a big battle!

Moreover, Xiahou Dun also dug a dam upstream of the Jingshui River, drawing a stream of water from there to flood the outside of the city.

Since Linjing City is close to Jingshui River, adequate planning was done when it was built.

Its terrain is the highest around, so even if the outside of the city is covered, it still does not affect the city at all.

Therefore, when Ma Chao rushed to the foot of Linjing City, he saw an unexpected scene.

There is a vast country in front of him, only a lonely city stands in the middle, welcoming his arrival.

Ma Chao sent people down to try it, but found that the seemingly calm water was full of potholes and traps everywhere.

This is like a natural moat, but it is a full three miles wide, easy to pass through.

"This Xiahou Dun is really ruthless! He actually made such a battle!"

Ma Chao sighed helplessly.

Pang Tong, who came with him to investigate, did not expect that the other party would make such a move.

For a while, even though he was resourceful, he didn't immediately think of a solution.

Therefore, the army had no choice but to garrison first, and it would not be too late to attack after having a good strategy to break the city.

In fact, after Ma Chao arrived in Linjing, he was not so anxious anymore.

Although I was restricted here by Xiahou Dun, I couldn't rush to join Liu Ke.

But the opponent will also send out a lot of troops.

Liu Ke was already well-equipped with fine soldiers and food, and his [-] soldiers and horses were not many more, and his own [-] less was quite a lot.

But Cao Cao was different. He originally had a small army, and Xiahou Dun was stationed here, unable to move.

Then there are fewer hands available.

So on the surface, Xiahou Dun trapped Ma Chao, but in fact Ma Chao also trapped Xiahou Dun.

It is not yet clear who has the upper hand.

Ma Chao didn't understand at first, but it was only after Pang Tong's explanation that he finally realized it.

That being the case, Ma Chao was no longer in a hurry, but stopped outside the city with peace of mind, without any sign of impatience.

After a few days like this, Xiahou Dun couldn't sit still.

The opponent surrounded but did not attack, and sent a few soldiers to observe the water situation every day, and the environment outside the city was silent.

And after Xiahou Dun destroyed the surface outside the city, his soldiers and horses could not go out of the city to harass him.

Instead, he fell into a passive position.

Zhang who came up with this idea at the beginning did not expect such a thing to happen.

Afraid that Xiahoudun would hold him accountable, he dared not say anything more.

Ma Chao can send people to act wantonly outside the city, bringing everything outside the city under his control.

Moreover, Pang Tong finally had a plan to defeat the enemy, so he approached Ma Chao that night.

"Shi Yuan, seeing your happy face, do you already have an idea?"

After this period of cooperation, the relationship between the two has gradually become closer, and even the title is not as formal as before.

Pang Tong smiled and said: "It seems that I still can't escape Meng Qi's eyes! Yes, I have already thought of a strategy to defeat the enemy!"

"Oh, please try to say it!" Ma Chao hurriedly beckoned him to sit down, and modestly asked Pang Tong for advice.

"Actually, I have been thinking about a problem for the past two days. Linjing is already a strong city, so why bother.

Make the perimeter look like this.Now I finally figured out that it should be Xiahou Dun who wanted to drag us here.

In order to relieve the pressure on Cao Cao in the rear! "

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Frightened by Ma Chao's expectations, Pang Tong finally spoke out his strategy.
