- "Then destroy Wandu City" Yan Liang pondered for a moment and said in a calm tone.
Although his words were calm, the murderous intent in his words was like a surging undercurrent, hiding infinite thrills.
The figures of Fazheng, Lu Meng and other civil and military officials on the left and right were all shaken secretly.
"Aren't your pills strong? Don't you, Liu Bei, want to fight to the death? I will take the people and the city and raze them all to the ground."
"The whole world has been wiped out by me, Yan Liang, so what's the point of a mere Wandu city?"
Yan Liang didn't take it seriously at all and ordered the army to move forward.
A few days later, more than 300,000 troops arrived at Wandu City one after another. Dense military tents were dotted under Wandu City, completely surrounding the royal city of Goguryeo.
Like Liangkou City, Wandu City is also built on the mountainside, with the mountain at its back.
The difference is that Wandu City is larger than Liangkou. It has three layers of city walls, one layer is more than ten feet higher than the other. Looking up at the mountain city from the foot of the mountain, you can't even see the highest layer of the city wall.
On the top of the mountain, the flag of Goguryeo was also flying. Obviously, Liu Bei also stationed troops and horses at the top of the mountain in order not to repeat the mistakes of Liangkou City.
Such a city built on the mountain and almost integrated with the mountain is indeed stronger than Liyang and Yecheng.
Yan Liang was not afraid at all, and ordered an army of 300,000 to surround the entire Wandu City, including the city and the mountains.
With the siege over, Yan Liang¡¯s next step was to drive the Goguryeo people to build walls and dig trenches around the mountains.
In less than half a month, a wall more than thirty miles long was completed, surrounding Wandu City like an iron barrel.
Marudu¡¯s connection with the outside world was cut off.
During this half month, Liu Bei could only stand on the city wall and watch the Chu army repair the wall, but did not dare to go out of the city to destroy it.
The reason was no other than that Liu Bei had too few troops.
In the battle of Liangkou City, Liu Bei lost more than 10,000 elite Han troops, and now he only has less than 20,000 direct Han troops in his hands.
If you add those Goguryeo troops, Liu Bei can barely scrape together an army of about 40,000 people.
Forty thousand versus three hundred thousand, a nearly eight-fold strength gap. Such a disparity in disadvantage made Liu Bei dare not take any risks and send his precious troops out of the city.
Liu Bei knew Yan Liang's plot very well. He was afraid that Yan Liang would use the wall construction as bait to lure him into attacking, and then use the opportunity to ambush and kill him. If he fell into the trap, he would not be able to steal the chicken, but would lose a handful of rice.
Liu Bei was afraid of Yan Liang's "annihilation plan". Now, he just wanted to preserve his strength as much as possible to deal with the Chu army's future attack.
Marudu City is extremely strong, has mountain spring water sources, and has sharp weapons such as water dragon cannons. The food stored in the city is sufficient for one or two years.
It was precisely because of these advantages that Liu Bei did not escape as he did in the past, but fell into the siege personally and held on to his last stronghold on the mainland.
In addition to fortifying the city, Liu Bei's other hope is his sworn brother Zhang Fei.
¡¡
Chu camp.
Yan Liang sat on a red rabbit horse and patrolled the camps, encouraging and comforting the soldiers of Chu.
With the solidity of Wandu City and Liu Bei's determination to fight to the death, the Battle of Wandu will probably be a long and protracted battle. From now on, Yan Liang will have to find ways to maintain the morale of the soldiers.
A horse galloped over, it was Ma Di, the commander of the Jin Yiwei.
Ma Su galloped his horse forward to resist, then raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Lelang County is reporting urgently. Zhang Fei led 30,000 Japanese troops to land on the eastern coast of Lelang. Our troops in Lelang County are defeated. Zhang Fei has captured Yuanshan City and is heading towards Lelang County is advancing towards the city."
Zhang Fei landed in Lelang?
This news quite surprised Yan Liang.
Zhang Fei has been retreating to the Japanese islands for several years. In recent years, he has only sent a small group of warships to raid the Liaodong coast in the form of pirates. It is really the first time he has commanded an army of 30,000 and launched a large-scale attack like this. once.
"Moreover, Zhang Fei not only made a large-scale landing, but also left the coast and launched a march into the hinterland of Lelang. This is unprecedented.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Fei chose to attack Lelang at this time, clearly to coordinate with Liu Bei, to divide our army's strength and relieve Liu Bei's pressure." Lu Meng saw through Zhang Fei's intention.
Yan Liang nodded slightly and sneered: "It seems that Liu Bei used a trick to make Zhang Fei work for him again. This stupid Zhang Fei, has he forgotten Guan Yu's bloody lesson so quickly?"
Zhang Fei didn't remember his surname, forgot Liu Bei's ruthlessness towards Guan Yu, and actually worked for Liu Bei. How could this not be called Yan Liang's irony?
"According to the reconnaissance of my Jin Yiwei, Sun Qian seems to have floated eastward twice in the recent past. Based on this judgment, Liu Bei has indeed convinced Zhang Fei to work for him again." Ma Di also said.
After listening to Ma Su's words, Yan Liang became more certain that Zhang Fei's massive attack on Lelang was indeed a relief for Liu Bei.
If Lelang County is lost, Daifang County will not be protected, and Zhang Fei's Japanese army can be pushed directly to the Mazi River.
If Zhang Fei leads his army north along the Ma Zi River, he can reach the south of Wandu, threatening the flanks of the army. If he goes west and directly attacks Xiangping, he can even threaten the army's retreat.
Zhang Fei¡¯s move was clearly to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, forcing the Chu army to retreat.
In order to destroy Liu Bei in one fell swoop, Yan Liang transferred most of the Liaodong Army to Goguryeo. He slightly ignored Zhang Fei's "foolishness", which gave Zhang Fei an opportunity to take advantage of.
With the current military strength of Lelang County, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop Zhang Fei's attack of 30,000 troops.
"Your Majesty, Lelang cannot afford to lose anything. I request your Majesty to send an army south along the Mazi River and rush to Chaocheng to garrison in order to repel Zhang Fei's invading army." Lu Meng had been stationed in Liaodong for a long time and immediately realized the urgency of the situation. .
"However, if our army divides its forces and goes south, if the number of troops is small, it will not be enough to defeat Zhang Fei. If there are more troops, the military strength of Wandu will be divided, which will play into Liu Bei's ambitions." Ma Di worriedly said.
Yan Liang was not in a hurry to make a decision and shouted: "Bring the map."
The imperial sergeant hurriedly unfolded the map he carried and made it available to Yan Liang and other generals for detailed reference.
Yan Liang¡¯s eyebrows were slightly furrowed, his eyes were scanning the map, and he was drawing up tactics in his mind.
After a while, a strange and confident smile appeared on the corner of Yan Liang's mouth.
"It doesn't take many soldiers and horses. Ten thousand soldiers and horses are enough to kill Zhang Fei!" Yan Liang said confidently.
With 10,000 soldiers and horses, the generals looked at each other in disbelief, feeling that Yan Liang was a little too loud.
What kind of person is Zhang Fei? He was second only to Guan Yu in the Han Dynasty at that time. His military ability was so strong. In terms of his martial arts, he was probably only inferior to Yan Liang in the world.
" Such a powerful general, but Yan Liang only used 10,000 troops to defeat his 30,000 troops. How could the generals not be a little surprised?
Yan Liang didn¡¯t explain much, he just said happily: ¡°To pay off the debt, Xuan Pangde comes to see me.¡±
After beating the horse, he returned to the imperial tent. Before Yan Liang could sit down, a group of tiger and bear generals came to pay homage. The person who came was none other than Pang De.
This Xiliang general, after Ma Chao was killed by Yan Liang, has become the most powerful general in Xiliang.
In history, Pang De and Guan Yu were able to fight for hundreds of rounds without deciding the outcome. Their martial arts skills can definitely be regarded as the pinnacle of the first class.
Now, Guan Yu is dead, but Pang De is still alive. After so many years of experience, it is not necessarily impossible for Pang De's martial arts to break through to the top and reach the top.
Zhang Fei is a top-level military general. To deal with such a person, Yan Liang, as an emperor, will not leave Wandu Camp easily, but he must send a general with extremely high martial arts skills to deal with Zhang Fei.
Looking at Yan Liang¡¯s command, apart from Yan Liang himself, there are only three generals who can be called extremely skilled in martial arts: Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and Wen Chou.
As for other generals such as Taishi Ci, Zhang Liao, Gan Ning and even Pang De, they are probably hovering between first-class and top-notch, and it is unknown whether they have really made a breakthrough.
This campaign against Goguryeo was mainly based on infantry. Zhao Yun and Wen Chou and other cavalry generals did not accompany the expedition. Huang Zhong was not familiar with the terrain of Lelang, which was not conducive to the battle.
Only Pang De, who has been in Liaodong for a long time, is not only superb in martial arts, but also very familiar with the terrain of Lelang. He is the most suitable candidate to defeat Zhang Fei.
"Ling Ming, I have received information that Zhang Fei led 30,000 Japanese troops to invade Lelang. I plan to send you to repel Zhang Fei. Do you have the courage?" Yan Liang asked straight to the point.
Anyone else would have hesitated for a moment when they heard that the opponent was Zhang Fei, but Pang De in front of him did not hesitate at all. Instead, he was instantly excited.
"Zhang Fei is said to be brave enough for all men. I have long wanted to meet him for a while. Thank you Your Majesty for giving me this opportunity." Pang De responded enthusiastically.
Yan Liang nodded slightly: "Very good, but this time, I will only give you 10,000 light troops."
"Ten thousand light troops?" Pound was a little surprised now.
He was not afraid of dealing with Zhang Fei, but Zhang Fei had 30,000 soldiers, but now the emperor only gave him 10,000, which was still a light army. The disparity in strength made Pound have to be wary.?.
Moreover, Pang De was also puzzled. His emperor had an army of 300,000, so why would he only be given 10,000 troops? ?
"Too many soldiers and horses will only make Zhang Fei wary. I want to make a quick decision and drive Zhang Fei into the sea." Yan Liang explained his intention.
Pang De pondered for a moment, clasped his hands tightly, and said with emotion: "So what if there are ten thousand soldiers and horses, I will not be afraid even if I am shattered to pieces for Your Majesty."
Pound resolutely expressed his determination, and his generosity seemed to confirm his plan. Even if his troops were outnumbered and he fought desperately to the death, he would not take a step back.
Pang De is indeed a famous general from Xiliang. He really has the blood and courage of a Xiliang man. Ma Chao had such a general, but he was jealous, which was really stupid.
Yan Liangzhi admired Pang De and couldn't help but smile happily: "Okay, I really did not misjudge Ling Ming. Looking at the generals, you are the only one who can deal with Zhang Fei for me."
With Yan Liang's praise, Pang De was so proud that he stood up and was about to say goodbye and leave.
"There's no rush, no hurry, sit down first." Yan Liang waved his hand and kept him with a smile.
Pang De was startled and had no choice but to sit down, but his eyes were full of suspicion, not knowing what Yan Liang had to say.
Yan Liang asked Pang De to give him some wine. After the emperor and his ministers drank a glass of wine, he smiled and said, "I just tested your courage. You are my general. Do you think I will really be willing to let you use it?" Are ten thousand soldiers going to take risks?" (To be continued.) - Didn't finish reading?
