Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 181: Jiameng closes

As Zhao Wei's generals, they are also from Shu. Logically speaking, everyone should work together to deal with Dongzhou soldiers inside Shuzhong, and against the forces that want to invade outside Shuzhong, such as Lu Bu. , For example, Nanban and Liu Biao of Jingzhou.

But where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the people of Shu are actually not monolithic. Yan Yan is a veteran. Commander against Lu Bu.

However, Li Yi, Zhao Wei's confidant general, could only be a raider. If Yan Yan hadn't lost Baishui Pass, he might not even have the chance to meet the Guan Zhongjun.

The grain transport officer is naturally an important position in the Central Plains, but in the Central Plains, when fighting such a foreign war, if the opponent wants to go around and harass the grain and grass, they may have to travel tens of hundreds of miles on mountain roads, which is similar to that in the plains. Ten to hundreds of miles is not the same thing, and it is very rare to do a surprise attack. Naturally, the position of the grain transport officer is not an important position.

I thought this battle was going to be like this, but who knew the twists and turns, Yan Yan lost Baishuiguan within three days of fighting against Lu Bu, which made Li Yi very happy.

Not only because Yan Yan will be punished by military law, but more importantly, after this defeat, Yan Yan's prestige in the army will naturally decrease, and if he replaces him, the opportunity to preside over this big battle will come.

As for how to deal with Lu Bu, Li Yi had already figured it out when Yan Yan entered the city in disgrace. He would not send troops, ignore them, and guard against death. He could do whatever he wanted.

With such a mood, Li Yi also welcomed Yan Yan in with a smile on his face, as if he had forgotten the difficulty just now: "Old General, it's not that the end is in trouble, it's just that Baishui Pass is so dangerous, it's really hard to break it in three days." It's...hehe~"

Yan Yan originally wanted to scold him to vent his anger, but when he heard what Li Yi said, he was speechless immediately. Although Li Yi saw that although he was full of laughter, he didn't say a word of squeeze, but every sentence went straight to Yan Yan's heart.

No matter what the reason was, it was a fact that Baishui Pass had been breached in three days, which made Yan Yan unable to speak out even if he felt unhappy, and could only grunt and command the soldiers to pass the pass.

With so many people, Jiameng Pass must not be able to let go, so they can only set up camp outside Jiameng Pass.

Zhang Ren followed Yan Yan to help direct, and felt that at this moment, the veteran of Shuzhong seemed to be much older, and the spirit of wanting to fight with Lu Bu was gone.

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Ren said to Yan Yan: "Old general, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, don't pay attention to the words of those villains."

Yan Yan looked at Zhang Ren and nodded reluctantly, but there was not much improvement. After all, it was true that he lost to Lu Bu. Yan Yan was so confident when he came, and now he is so depressed.

No matter what, the battle will still be fought, even if he is depressed, Yan Yan still has the idea of ​​defeating Lu Bu and getting back the place from Lu Bu.

With the experience of Baishui Pass failure, this time, Yan Yan made more careful arrangements for Jiameng Pass, especially at night, there were three night patrol officers and soldiers. The timing of the siege is arranged in order to be able to detect possible incoming enemies in time.

Even in order to prevent the enemy from approaching here at night and not having time to react, Yan Yan also set up fifteen stoves outside Jiameng Pass, three in groups, and after the first group was burned, the second group would be ignited, and the five groups in one night just burned. If it goes out suddenly, you have to be very vigilant.

After doing all this, Yan Yan still felt unsafe, and ordered people to dig a lot of ditches and traps outside the city. When Lu Bu led his army to Jiameng Pass, he was a little confused when he saw this scene. Is it because you are afraid of being beaten, and you are not ready to go out of the city to fight at all?

Not to mention Lu Bu, Li Yi, who was about to watch Yan Yan's jokes, was a little dazed by Yan Yan's meticulous arrangement.

"Old general, isn't this a bit too much?" Li Yi looked at Yan Yan, not knowing how to express his thoughts, this posture of guarding against death, not to mention people, it is not easy for birds to fly over.

"That's because you have never seen Lu Bu use troops. This man uses troops with a lot of tricks. If he is not careful, he will be tricked by him. The generals must not be careless!" Yan Yan looked at the generals and said in a deep voice.

Seeing Yan Yan's appearance, Li Yi didn't bother to tell him that he had already quietly written to Chengdu to report the matter to Zhao Wei, hoping to slow down this old thing and let him take over. Hold more military power in your hands, now you can only run a few words in a yin and yang way, but Yan Yan ordered, but dare not refuse to obey, it is too aggrieved.

On the other side, when Lu Bu led his army to Jiameng Pass, he looked at the defenses of Jiameng Pass in front of him, not to mention how Yan Yan mobilized his troops, but the stoves, ditches and invisible traps that Jiameng Pass had left behind were all worth it. His mood was also troubled.

Lu Bu, who didn't know what happened in Guanzhong, only thought that the loss of Baishui Pass had hit Yan Yan too hard, so he took a completely defensive position, which made Jiameng Pass more difficult.

Don't be afraid that the enemy will have ability and self-confidence, and self-confidence is a good thing. At least it means that he still dares to send troops. If he really loses self-confidence and wants to defend well, it will be very embarrassing.

"It is said that during the battle between Qin and Shu, King Huiwen of Qin was worried that there would be no way to enter Shu, so he ordered people to be five-stone oxen, saying that they could shit gold, and tricked the king of Shu to take it. This way is also called the way of the golden cow." In the middle, Jia Xu patiently explained to Dian Wei the origin of the Jiameng Pass.

Zhang Liao said with a wry smile: "My lord, from now on down the Jialing River is Langzhong, why don't you lead a brigade to attack Langzhong?"

Although Jiameng Pass has not yet been attacked, judging from the investigation of Jiameng Pass by everyone, it does not look like Jiameng Pass can be breached in a short time.

Because of this, Zhang Liao proposed to divide his troops, go down to Langzhong first, and then attack Jiameng Pass in two directions.

Lv Bu has been holding the map and looking at it carefully, but at this moment he raised his head and looked at Zhang Liao, finally shook his head and said: "The road to Shu is difficult, and this battle should be based on safety. It is too early to divide the troops at this moment, let's see Is there a way to break through?"

The division of troops not only means increased consumption of food and grass, but more importantly, there will be uncontrollable risks. It's not that I don't believe in Zhang Liao, but that the battle to enter Shu cannot be lost. Even if I make a mistake, all previous efforts may be wasted. Really split up.

At least before breaking the Jiameng Pass, Lu Bu did not plan to divide his troops.

Zhang Liao nodded silently upon hearing this, and sat down again.

Jia Xu looked at Lv Bu, but finally said nothing. He knew that Lv Bu was worried about missing a good opportunity, but the strategy of dividing the troops was actually worth a try. It was only about the success or failure of this battle. Even Lv Bu had to choose the safest method .

This is the difference between the lord and the general. The consequences of this failure are borne by Lu Bu. It is good to win, but if he fails to enter Shu, Lu Bu may not be able to enter Shu again in the next few years or even ten years. The princes of the Guandong will not Give Lu Bu another chance.

As a general or a counselor, you only need to offer advice, and you don't have to bear the consequences. This is why Jia Xu felt that Zhang Liao's plan was feasible but did not persuade Lu Bu.

"Wen He has something to say?" Lu Bu had a keen sense, and Jia Xu's mood swings naturally couldn't escape his perception. Looking at Jia Xu, he forced a smile.

Jia Xu thought for a while and said, "My lord, I just want to know, what should Yan Yanruo do if he insists on defending and refuses to fight against our army's attempts to lure the enemy?"

Lu Bu hated storming. At least in Jia Xu's military career, Lu Bu didn't have many records of storming cities. Basically, he planned to force the opponent out of the city, or to force people to surrender.

But with Yan Yan's current posture, it would be very difficult for Lu Bu to lure him out, and the strategy of sneak attack may not work at this time. The only way to attack Jiameng Pass now seems to be to attack by force.

"Let's try to attack the city." Lu Bu put down the map, thought for a moment and said: "Gather the craftsmen together, I need to make a batch of equipment overnight tonight, and use it when I attack the city tomorrow. It will be used in the siege tomorrow."

Now that the strategy has been invalidated, only a strong attack is left.

When Lu Bu sent troops this time, the craftsmen in the army were transferred from the craftsmen in the Shenji Battalion, and enough wood was mobilized. If there is a strong attack, some siege equipment that has not appeared in the world, Lu Bu felt that it was time to take out some siege equipment.

"Here!" All the officers and men stood up and responded to the order.

Jia Xu was also a little curious about what Lu Bu would come up with. He knew that Lu Bu was a master of craftsmanship, and he knew that many things in Guanzhong were made by Lu Bu, such as planters, bent wood, etc. The plow, the magic machine crossbow, the mechanism continuous crossbow, etc., but the magic machine crossbow and the mechanism continuous crossbow are not suitable for attacking the city here, so there are obviously new things to be done.

At that moment, Lü Bu dismissed the crowd and asked them to prepare separately, while he led the craftsmen to bring the wood they brought with them, and built the wooden frame under Lv Bu's command.

The thing seems to be a hair stone machine, but it is much larger than the normal hair stone machine, and it was built directly as the Jiameng Pass. In order to prevent Yan Yan from leading the army out to destroy it, Lu Bu specially asked Xu Huang to lead it. An army guarded the side.

Jiameng closed the gate, and when Lu Bu came, Yan Yan ordered people to closely monitor Lu Bu's movements. Hearing someone saying that Lu Bu didn't know what to do outside the city, Yan Yan hurriedly led people to the tower to watch, but saw a hundred and fifty people outside the city. Around the steps, three huge wooden machines were set up, and some people were crawling up and down on the ladder and knocking on something.

"What kind of mystery is Lu Bu playing on?" Yan Yan asked in puzzlement as he set up an awning and looked at the movement on Lu Bu's side from afar.

"It looks like the dumped car has been enlarged." Zhang Ren said worriedly after observing for a while.

This is the first time I've seen such a big dump.

"Dumping the car can throw it so far?" Yan Yan obviously didn't believe it.

Zhang Ren also shook his head, but his eyes were a bit dignified. If it is possible, this battle will be difficult to fight!
