After listening to it, Pan Zhang, Chen Wu and others also agreed with Ling Cao's statement. Lu Meng just listened quietly and did not express his position. Seeing everyone looking at him, a light flashed in Lu Meng's eyes and he said firmly: "The Art of War"

If Yun Yun defends for a long time, he will be lost. Liu Xun's army is pressing down on the border.

Ma Qibei is more than three times our army. If Liu Xun chooses to attack us with all his strength, regardless of casualties, we will not be able to wait for the lord's reinforcements and will fall first. Moreover, Liu Xun is extremely cruel, so naturally we will not

We will take into account the casualties of our soldiers."

What Lu Meng said actually makes sense. Because they don't know the direction of history, they naturally don't know the sense of urgency in Liu Xun's heart.

And this Liu Xun is not the other Liu Xun, this is the information asymmetry. Liu Xun also attaches great importance to the casualties of his own soldiers. It is not that Lu Meng thought that he would ignore the casualties. After all, he came from later generations and was not cold-blooded to that extent.

This important point was thought wrong by Lu Meng, who thought he was smart. Then the decision he made accordingly was definitely wrong.

Chen Wu said sternly from the side: "The governor is right. If Liu Xun cared about his soldiers, he would not be so hasty to attack us. He didn't even give the soldiers time to rest. From this, it can be seen that Liu Xun's heart is as solid as stone.

There was no regard for the life and death of the soldiers."

Lu Meng nodded and continued: "Now that their army has been running all the way, they are extremely tired. Why don't we lead the army out of the city and steal a camp when they have just arrived and have not yet established a stable foothold. In this way, we may have a chance of winning. If we stay in the city, we will die sooner or later."

The generals felt that Lu Meng's analysis was much more reasonable than Ling Cao's. Moreover, as soldiers, there were several people who wanted to passively be beaten in the city without fighting back. At that moment, Chen Wu, Pan Zhang and others all responded: "Everything is up to the Commander-in-Chief.

orders."

But when Lu Meng had just finished making the decision and was preparing to attack the camp, he heard a spy coming to report: "Captain, something bad is going on. The bandits have begun to attack the city."

After hearing this, Lu Meng couldn't help laughing: "You Liu Xun, you dare to lead a tired army to attack the city now that the army is not stable. You are really a thug who regards human life as a piece of grass. Come on, let's go up to the city wall and take a look.

How they attacked the city."

Liu Xun's three axes had been used up, and now he was at the end of his rope. In annoyance, he suddenly changed his strategy. He was so eager to attack the city just to explore the reality and see how strong the defense of the city was, so that he could know well.

But Lü Meng's defenders were not in vain. Under Lü Meng's calm command, Liu Xun's tentative attack was repelled in just a few strokes.

Liu Xun looked up and saw that it was getting late. He knew that if he continued to attack, it would only increase casualties.

"Retreat the troops." Following Liu Xun's order, the Lujiang soldiers retreated like a tide.

Seeing the Lujiang soldiers retreating in embarrassment, Pan Zhang on the top of the city couldn't help laughing proudly and said: "According to someone's observation just now, these Lujiang soldiers have no rules at all in attacking the city, and they are completely different from us.

"

Chen Wu frowned and said in a deep voice: "General Pan must not be careless. This may be Liu Xun's treacherous plot. We must not be careless, otherwise we may follow the path of General Taishi."

Lu Meng nodded in agreement: "General Chen is right. Liu Xun was able to defeat tens of thousands of the First Lord's army and easily captured Yuzhang County. It is absolutely impossible to say that he is of this level. We cannot

underestimate the enemy."

As Lu Meng finished speaking, everyone suddenly felt a chill on their backs and responded repeatedly: "If"

Ling Cao asked aloud: "Commander, are we proceeding as planned now?"

Lu Meng raised his eyes and looked at the Lujiang Camp in the distance. Liu Xun's unexpected attack on the city made Lu Meng a little confused about Liu Xun's plan. After thinking for a long time, he chose to wait and see what happens.: "Tonight's plan is temporarily suspended.

Cancel."

Although everyone was puzzled, they still clasped their fists in response.

...

Liu Xun Camp

Liu Xun didn't know that his random operation had inadvertently frightened Lu Meng, who was about to steal the camp.

At this moment, Liu Xun was discussing the attack on the city with Gan Ning, who still had some military knowledge.

"Lord, the number of our troops is now three times that of Jiangdong's army. We will surely capture Moling under a strong attack," Gan Ning said confidently.

"How many casualties will there be as a result?"

"The general is willing to accept the military order. We only need to pay 5,000 casualties to attack this city."

"There are only three thousand people in the city, but we have to pay such a price to win the city. This strategy is inappropriate. I wonder if Xingba has other strategies." Liu Xun said with an ugly face.

"Lord, if you don't choose to attack by force, we can rely on our army's strong strength to implement the strategy of exhausting the army. It will only take more time to break the city."

"Xing Ba, tell me how to implement the strategy of exhausting the troops?" Liu Xun looked at Gan Ning seriously and asked.

Gan Ning glanced at his lord in surprise. Logically speaking, the lord is so wise and powerful, how could he not understand such a simple strategy? Then Gan Ning was excited and suddenly thought of a possibility: "My lord is taking the exam for me.

"

When he thought of this, Gan Ning immediately said seriously: "The so-called strategy of exhausting our troops is to use our army's superior strength to divide our troops and attack non-stop. In this way, we can take turns to rest, and the enemy's troops are small and we do not stop.

Naturally, they dare not rest due to the attack, and their bodies will naturally be unable to bear it for a long time. When the time comes, we can take advantage of the opportunity to take them down in one fell swoop."

Liu Xun nodded noncommittally: "Well, what Xingba said is a safe strategy. Now there is no other way to attack the city, so let's do what Xingba said first."

"If" Gan Ning responded with clasped fists

...

That night, the Lujiang soldiers retreated for only an hour before they began to attack the city again. Since it was night, Liu Xun naturally reduced the intensity of the siege, letting the soldiers of each battalion take turns to attack the city, making bluffing noises and shouts. The real purpose was to contain the harassing city.

The garrison above them made them exhausted and afraid to sleep peacefully.

The men and horses who had been replaced took the time to return to camp and take a nap, waiting for dawn to launch the attack again. After all, this kind of offensive and defensive battles are not easy to fight. If this continues, the soldiers on the side will easily be overwhelmed. Liu Xun originally wanted to rely on the large number of people.

There are fewer bullies, and you can take advantage after taking turns to attack.

But Lu Meng in the city was not in vain. As soon as Liu Xun made this move, he quickly understood Liu Xun's intention. Lu Meng smiled disdainfully: "Such a trivial skill is really not worthy of recognition. Since you have Zhang Liang's plan,

I've had my own wall ladder."

At that moment, Lu Meng summoned Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, Chen Wu and other generals: "Everyone, Liu Xun's move is a strategy to weaken the army. Naturally, we have to divide our troops to guard, otherwise the soldiers will not be able to bear it."
