Chapter 996

Seeing that Huyan all took orders to leave, Huangfu Chaobo did not stop. Instead, he turned to the other generals and said, "besides, from now on, the camp starts to make siege equipment, and the soldiers are ready to attack the city. This time, it will be a hard battle. Dugu Ba and Dugu Tian ask you to check the situation around Dingtao and prepare for the tunnel attack. From the general's point of view, if this city does not find another way, our army will suffer a serious loss. "

They all took orders with their fists clasped. The two brothers left the tent immediately, and under the protection of dozens of soldiers, they were ready to make a detailed investigation of the situation outside Dingtao city.

The rest of the generals left one after another, returned to their respective barracks, and began to recruit their own generals to prepare for the attack on Dingtao.

Jishui, one of the four ancient sins. The flow direction of Guji water is recorded in Yugong: "the water flows eastward for Ji, into the river, overflowing for Xing, east from Taoqiu north, east to Heze (Heze, guzeming), northeast to Wen, and north to East into the sea."

Jishui originates from Taiyi pool on Wangwu mountain, Jiyuan City, Henan Province. The source water flows more than 70 Li eastward from the underground river to the ground of Jidu and Longtan, forming two rivers of Zhu (Jidu) and long (Longtan). To the East, they meet to form a river without leaving Jiyuan City, which is called Jishui. To the northwest of Wenxian County, they are called Jishui. After the second undercurrent underground, through the Yellow River but not muddy, in Xingyang miraculously surfaced again, Jishui flow through Yuanyang, Nanji three times to Shandong Dingtao, meet with Beiji to form juyeze, Jishui three hidden three appear, hundred fold into the sea, mysterious.

After everyone retreated, there were only three military strategists and Shi a few people left in Huangfu Chaobo's account. Huangfu Chaobo said, "Shi a, tell us about the situation in Dingtao city that the shadow came back. Let's discuss how to attack this big city first."

Shi a promised that with the help of Dian Wei, he would open the map first, and then he began to explain the situation of Dingtao city one by one.

According to the information from the shadow, there are at least 20000 garrisons in Dingtao city. In addition to the 10000 soldiers in Dingtao, there are also 5000 elite soldiers under the control of Jiyin Taishou Ren Jun. in addition, a month ago, Cao Cao transferred the 5000 Chinese soldiers under Shanyang Taishou Chen Qun to Dingtao. In this way, Ren Jun can control them There are twenty thousand soldiers and horses.

What Shi a didn't know was that in addition to the 20000 troops, there was another 10000 troops in Dingtao City, which was more elite than Ren Jun's central army. That was the backbone of Cao Cao's five battalions. The reason why the central camp was not found by the eastern army was that Cao Cao used the night to dispatch troops. In addition, Changyi and Dingtao were not far away. However, if the army marched through the night, it could arrive in one night.

"In addition to Cao Cao Jun, there are 120000 ordinary people in the city. According to the information from the shadow, the grain and grass stored in Dingtao city is about 500000 stones, which is enough for the soldiers and horses in the city for half a year."

When they heard this, they were silent. With half a year's food and grass, the huge and solid city walls, and reinforcements that could be reached at any time a hundred miles away, this war was really hard to fight. You know, at present, in the game, no siege will last more than three months. Once this time is exceeded, it proves that the siege party has basically failed.

Huangfu Chaobo waved his hand, broke the silence and said, "go on!"

Shi a nodded and continued to introduce the situation in Ding Tao City.

"There are four gates in the wall of Dingtao City, including one wall in the East, one wall in the north and one wall in the West. Besides, there are also urn cities in these three gates. After our army attacked the city and entered the urn City, we need to turn the way and then attack the gate. Dingtao south gate is located next to Jishui wharf, less than 200 steps away from Jishui, so it is not suitable to attack the city in the south. If you need to attack, only the other three sides can launch troops. "

It took nearly two quarters of an hour for Shi a to explain to the public the situation in Ding Tao City.

"Well, let's talk about it separately, but we have a general plan for your reference."

For a long time, Lu Su, with a steady character, took the lead in saying: "judging from the situation of Dingtao, there are only three walls suitable for siege, so we can only attack in the East, West and north directions. In this way, it is in line with the strategy of encircling three and lacking one in the art of war."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Lu Su added: "at present, there are more than 60000 soldiers and horses in our army, plus more than 2000 prisoners of Cao Cao's army captured from YuanJu, and general Zhang Ying's department also has more than 50000 soldiers and horses, which is said to have more than 1000 prisoners. In this way, I suggest that the army be divided into three parts, Lord. General Zhang Ying's department is arranged in the East, and its function is to attack the East Gate on one hand, and to attack the East Gate on the other That is to defend Cao Cao's army in the East and the reinforcements from Changyi. "

"The main army is divided into two parts: the Lord's guard army is one, plus about 10000 guards, thousands of Minfu craftsmen and 1000 prisoners; the Huben army is another, plus the same number of guards, Minfu and prisoners. As for where the two armies will be stationed, I have not yet been able to determine

After listening to Lu Su's words, Guo Jia said: "the Lord of Zijing is very agreeable to me. As for how to arrange the two armies, I think we can make a decision after general Dugu returns. This city is the first strong city that the army meets. If our army loses too much under the City, it will be very unfavorable for the subsequent war."After a pause, Guo Jia said, "I know something about Ren Jun. He was born in Zhongmou County, Henan Province. When Dong Zhuo made a riot, Ren Jun advised Zhongmu to order Yang Yuan to govern Henan and resist the riot. When Cao Cao started to fight, Ren Jun recruited hundreds of family members to join him. Cao Cao was very happy. He married his younger sister to Ren Jun and trusted him very much. After Cao Cao's expedition, Ren Jun usually supplied troops in the rear. Some people say that he is generous and reasonable. "

"It can be seen that this man is Cao Cao's confidant. He is steady and generous. If he doesn't work out a clever plan, he will be difficult to capture the city easily. The reason why Cao Cao places him in Jiyin is that he attaches great importance to his stability. Therefore, in this battle, we must use the digging army. If we can control the opportunity, we can lure out Cao Cao's main force and even annihilate him."

Guo Jia's words made everyone nod. Huangfu Chaobo said, "OK, let's wait for general Dugu's information. If the Zijun can use it, let's discuss the plan carefully."
