Outside Changyuan City, looking at Changyuan City in the distance, Xu Shu's face was a little gloomy. Beside him, Cao Wei general Qu Yi said to Xu Shu: "Master Xu! It has been nearly a month! Is this what we are doing?
Are you staying here all the time?"
Xu Shu sighed and said: "There is nothing we can do about it! Although the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are brave, the disadvantage of being heavy cavalry is that they cannot participate in siege battles! Without the war horses, the power of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will be reduced by at least 80%.
!Therefore we cannot attack rashly, we can only choose to besiege the city!"
"Master Xu!" Qu Yi said immediately: "Even if the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry cannot go into battle, I still have the First Ascension Camp on hand! With the sharp arrows of the First Ascension Camp, I don't believe any city wall can stop it.
!" Qu Yi was not an outstanding person among the generals of Cao Wei, but he was able to always be reused by Cao Cao. The most important thing was that he was the first to reach the camp!
Seeing that Qu Yi was so confident, Xu Shu just shook his head helplessly and said: "General Qu! Your Xianden camp is indeed powerful, but don't forget that there are at least 100,000 Western Qin troops in the city now!
Your first camp only has more than 5,000 men. Even if it can attack the city, are you sure that it can defeat the 100,000 Western Qin tiger and wolf troops?"
"Uh!" Although Qu Yi is confident, he is not blind. The bows and arrows used in the first camp are indeed powerful. Perhaps against the same number of Western Qin troops, Qu Yi is sure that he can defeat the opponent, but against an opponent nearly twenty times the size
His own enemy, and also a world-famous tiger and wolf warrior, Qu Yi was not arrogant to this extent. When Xu Shu said this, Qu Yi's confidence was immediately extinguished! In turn, Qu Yi felt hatred again
He said with hatred: "This is all the fault of those cowards under Liu Bei! If they hadn't escaped first, our two armies would have been able to capture Changyuan City and capture Luo Yang alive!"
"Timid? Haha, I'm afraid not necessarily!" Xu Shu did not comment on Qu Yi's comments about Zhuge Liang, but in Xu Shu's heart, it was a hundred people who did not believe that Zhuge Liang would be timid! Xu Shu had already guessed that Zhuge Liang
The purpose of retreating first was just to let himself and the Western Qin army fight to the death, and then he would reap the benefits! But Xu Shu knew Zhuge Liang's plan, but he had to follow the routine set by Zhuge Liang.
Because Cao Wei couldn't afford to lose this battle! However, Xu Shu had no intention of saying this to Qu Yi and others, lest it ruin the morale of the army. He turned around and said, "Actually, the situation now is not bad! The other members of the Western Qin Army
The soldiers and horses on the road have been restrained by the Chu army! Only Luo Yang's army is left in Changyuan City! As long as we can let the tiger and leopard cavalry guard Changyuan City like this, Luo Yang will definitely not dare to leave the city without authorization! Indeed, a hundred thousand troops
It is a very impressive number, but it is also a very heavy burden! Even if the Western Qin Dynasty is rich, it is probably very difficult to maintain the support of these 100,000 troops!"
Hearing what Xu Shu said, Qu Yi immediately understood what Xu Shu meant, and even exclaimed: "General, I understand! No wonder you didn't let us surround Changyuan City before, just to allow the Western Qin Army to continuously attack.
Send supplies to Changyuan City! My lord, I want to completely defeat the Western Qin in this battle! As long as this battle cannot be ended in a short time, the biggest burden will be on the Western Qin, which is fought by several groups at the same time.
Qin Army! On the contrary, our army is only responsible for the supply of more than 25,000 people along the Changyuan route, so we have no worries in this regard! Unfortunately, Luoyang can't break through in a hurry! Because the power of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is definitely not as powerful as the ten in the city.
The Qin army in Wanxi can handle it!"
"Not bad!" Xu Shu also nodded with satisfaction. Qu Yi didn't want to be as strong-limbed and simple-minded as other generals, but one of the very few generals who could fight with their brains. He only said the beginning, and Qu Yi could do it
He guessed exactly what he meant! Xu Shu nodded immediately, and then said: "The most important thing is that we cannot end this battle easily! If we delay it until the end, it will only benefit us.
The more! Don’t forget, it is Guan Yu who is helping us hold off the Youzhou Army in Jizhou now! Guan Yu has used all the troops in Qingzhou this time, and the burden is also very heavy for Liu Bei! As long as we can last as long as possible
If you delay this battle, in the end, both Liu Bei and Western Qin will be brought down by this battle!" He was tricked by Zhuge Liang before, how could Xu Shu suffer such a secret loss and not fight back?
Hearing what Xu Shu said, Qu Yi nodded excitedly and said: "Master Xu, this plan is very clever! The general will understand!"
"Sir! General!" At this moment, a voice sounded from behind the two of them. Xu Shu and Qu Yi both turned around to look, but a soldier came up behind them, cupped his fists at Xu Shu and shouted: "Xu Shu
Sir! General, please come to the big tent!"
Xu Shu raised his brows. This soldier was naturally a member of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry! In terms of skill, Xu Shu's small body was not much worse than ordinary generals. But just now when the soldier walked up behind him,
Xu Shu didn't notice at all, which shows how skilled this soldier is! The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry cost Cao Wei a lot of financial and manpower, which allowed Cao Wei to develop over the past ten years. Not only did Cao Wei's apparent military strength not surpass that of Western Qin, but it even
Still behind Liu Bei! But with such expenditure, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry created is indeed elite! If the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had not been weak in siege ability and were not large in number, I am afraid that Cao Cao would have been able to rely on this Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
Can sweep the whole world!
After hearing what the soldier said, Xu Shu nodded, indicating that he already understood, then turned to Qu Yi and said: "General Qu! You wait here first, I will come when I go!" After saying hello to Qu Yi, Xu Shu
He turned around and followed the soldier directly to the center of the military camp.
The big tent was located in the center of the military camp. Naturally, Xu Shu had to pass by many Tiger and Leopard Cavalry camps along the way. Looking at the situation in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry camps next to them, they were all completely silent. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers in the camps,
They were all sitting upright on the beds in the tent, even their postures were exactly the same!
Xu Shu couldn't help but sigh, because when the Hubao Cavalry was first established, they wanted to avoid being detected by spies of the Western Qin Dynasty, so when selecting the soldiers of the Hubao Cavalry, confidentiality was the first priority! Every member of the Hubao Cavalry
Soldiers are all without fathers, mothers, wives and children. Most of them are alone. Such soldiers have no emotions at all in their lives, and they don't even care about their own lives.
!Ever since the establishment of the Tiger Pagoda Cavalry, their daily life has been to train, train, and train again! So no matter when you go to the military camp of the Tiger Paolo Cavalry, you will feel a dead silence!
In fact, if the battle situation was not too urgent, Xu Shu would not want to use this army at all, because Xu Shu could see that this tiger and leopard cavalry is like a ferocious beast. If he is released, it will not only hurt the enemy, but also
He might hurt himself! At this time, a burly figure suddenly appeared in Xu Shu's mind, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Perhaps, only that person can suppress the tiger and leopard cavalry! In the world, even if Cao Cao comes in person,
Without that person's assistance, I'm afraid it would be impossible to command the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry! This is extremely rare for Cao Cao, who has always been extremely controlling!
"Master Xu! We've arrived!" A shout sounded from the front, interrupting Xu Shu's thoughts. Unknowingly, the two of them had arrived at the big tent in the camp. The soldier's task was to bring Xu Shu there. Here, there was no order to enter the big tent, so after informing Xu Shu, the soldier stood upright in front of the big tent, motionless.
Xu Shu was already accustomed to the style of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. He nodded and went directly into the big tent. Walking into the big tent, you will find that the inside of this huge tent is very simple, with only one hanging There was a map and a few benches set up. Right in front of the tent, a tall man was sitting on an armchair, gently supporting his head with his hands and lying sideways. There, this man was wearing a black suit of Cao Wei generals, and a big horn helmet on his head, which covered his face. Although it was just such an ordinary posture, it could There was a chilling air out of thin air! Xu Shu could tell directly from his experience as a ranger that the reason why this chilling air was formed was because this man was stained with too much blood!
However, Xu Shu didn't say much. He took a step forward, bowed to the man and said, "General! Do you have anything to do with me?"
If other ordinary generals from Cao Wei were here, they would probably be so shocked that their eyes would pop out! It should be noted that Xu Shu is now Cao Cao's number one think tank! His status in Cao Wei's army is second only to Cao Cao himself! Even Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and others who were closest to Cao Cao at that time were very polite when they saw Xu Shu, not to mention Xu Shu was so polite! And looking at the man's reaction, it was even more surprising, because that After the man forcibly accepted Xu Shu's salute, he didn't even move to be polite. He just responded and waved his hand for Xu Shu to sit down! I'm afraid even Cao Cao himself wouldn't have such an attitude!
However, Xu Shu didn't take it seriously. After sitting down according to the man's wishes, he raised his hands to the man and asked again: "General! What do you want from me?"
The man suddenly waved his hand, but in the palm of his other hand, he had been holding a kit. With such a wave, it was thrown directly in front of Xu Shu. Fortunately, Xu Shu was very skilled, and he immediately He just caught the brocade bag, glanced at the man, and immediately opened the brocade bag and carefully read the brocade silk in the brocade bag. At first, Xu Shu's face looked pretty good, but when Xu Shu saw it Later, the expression on his face became worse and worse, and finally turned into an ashen color!
