Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 247: Siege

"The general is truly heavenly!" Xin Yeling looked at Gao Shun with admiration.

Who would have thought that Gao Shun would achieve such victories with only 5,000 people out of the city? More importantly, the army staying in the city would beat the Jingzhou army who came to attack the city without Gao Shun's presence. .

Xin Yeling is from Nanyang. He is from a low family background and can read and write, but he is not even considered a poor family. Someone in his ancestors who was an official can be traced back to five generations ago. , Gao Shun is not good at this, and even a little disgusted, now Ling Xinye only dares to marvel like this, and dare not take pictures too much.

Gao Shun nodded to him. If you get along with Gao Shun without any expectations, you will find that this person is actually very easy to get along with. The premise is that you don’t make mistakes in principle, otherwise you may be amiable with you in the front foot, and cut you with a knife in the back foot It is also a very normal thing.

"General, the last general is incompetent!" Cao Xing said with a dejected expression after meeting Gao Shun.

"At that time, there was no better opportunity." Gao Shun shook his head. In that situation, Cao Xing could only choose to attack or hide all the time.

It is already very good that Cao Xing can retreat with his whole body.

"Nearly half of the losses were lost in this battle, and the elite suffered heavy losses. Now that the two armies are approaching the city, it may not be easy to go out to fight again." Gao Shun felt a little distressed after asking people to count the battle damage. For the remaining soldiers, it would be fine if they just defended to the death, but it was very difficult to rush to rescue Ma Chao if they wanted to end the battle here as soon as possible.

"General, what we have done is good enough." Cao Xing comforted.

Nearly half of their elites did not collapse, but Sun Ce's side really suffered heavy losses. After this battle, the Jiangdong Army may not be able to recover from a setback, but it is definitely enough to make Sun Ce feel distressed.

Of course, if Sun Ce hadn't wanted to wipe out Gao Shun's elite team in the previous battle, the loss would not have been so heavy.

But you can't say that Sun Ce's decision was wrong. If this battle can completely keep Gao Shun and this elite team, then although Sun Ce suffered heavy losses, it would be equivalent to removing the biggest obstacle to the capture of Nanyang.

It's a pity that Gao Shun finally succeeded in withdrawing, and Sun Ce's move was simply to use his tens of thousands of troops to fight off Gao Shun's two thousand elites.

"Send someone to notify Yin Feng. If there is any battle situation on Ma Chao's side, report it to me immediately!" Gao Shun ordered Cao Xing after nodding.

If they failed to repel the Jiangdong Army, it would be very difficult to make a quick decision, and it was inevitable to fall into a long-term war of attrition.

"Here!" Cao Xing agreed with a nod. There is no rush for this, and it will not delay the matter if it is arranged later.

After Gao Shun said some things to pay attention to, he went to appease the soldiers, and the rotation of the guard positions, including how to guard against the enemy's approaching sneak attack at night.

Although the number of defenders is sufficient, Gao Shun still arranges these things meticulously.

In the following period of time, it also proved that Gao Shun's actions were not superfluous.

In order to break through Xinye as soon as possible, Zhou Yu used a lot of tricks, including two consecutive night raids like Lu Bu did when he entered Shu and broke Baishui Pass, trying to take advantage of the enemy's slackness to break through the city.

Under normal circumstances, after a night attack, people will definitely feel a little slack in their hearts. If they attack again at this time, it will be easy to succeed. Lu Bu broke the Baishui Pass when he broke through.

However, after the first night attack by the enemy, Gao Shun quickly changed a group of guards to guard the city, and the soldiers who guarded the city before went back to rest. In this way, the sense of slack was cleared, and Zhou Yu's second night attack was not successful.

In addition, Zhou Yu had thought of many ways, but Gao Shun managed the entire Xinye seamlessly, allowing him to come up with all kinds of tricks, and I would stand still.

After several attempts, Jiangdong Army and Jingzhou Army came to a decadent conclusion.

If you want to break the new field, you can only attack by force!

But at this moment, the difference in strength between the two sides is only a little more than double, and it is no longer the absolute difference in strength at the beginning.

With the advantage of Nanyang military equipment, even if they don't fight, they know that they will suffer heavy losses. In the end, even if they win Xinye, they won't be able to take Nanyang again! This is also the reason why Zhou Yu tried his best to win by tricks. He couldn't win by fighting hard, and it was almost impossible to succeed without winning by tricks.

But the helpless thing is that Gao Shun is the kind of absolutely rational general, no matter how many tricks are put on Gao Shun, it is useless, as long as he defends Xinye, he can stop the Jingzhou and Jiangdong coalition forces from going further, although Gao Shun is also worried Ma Chao was fighting over there, but at this time, the calmer he made his decision.

To meet such an opponent, for a person like Zhou Yu, it is simply the nemesis.

"This Gao Shun is really..." Sun Ce gritted his teeth. Why would this kind of person work for the Lu Buna country thief? Turning to look at Zhou Yu: "Gongjin, do you think this person can be persuaded to surrender?"

Zhou Yu: "..."

"Bo Fu, don't worry. With the current situation, it is impossible to attack by force. I will slow down and try to lure him out of the city to fight." Zhou Yu sighed.

A person who can be entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Lu Bu, why do you think that he will be demoted to you? During this period of time, it was not that Zhou Yu didn't think about it. He secretly inquired about Gao Shun's personality, and only knew that he was innocent and majestic, not good at drinking, and had only one wife. There was absolutely no problem with his character, although Zhou Yu also felt that Gao Shun was like this The talented person is very good, but reason tells him that it is almost impossible to recruit such a person.

Sun Ce also said something angry, such a person, the probability of surrender is not high, but it is very difficult to defeat the opponent, Gao Shun is like a mountain in front of him, the oppressive force and pressure that Gao Shun brought to Sun Ce The sense of despair is better than that of Lu Bu back then!

"But now, the little Xinye is blocking my 100,000 coalition troops. If we get nothing in the end, wouldn't it be a joke for the heroes of the world?" Sun Ce said angrily.

Zhou Yu sighed and said: "Be safe and don't be impatient. Now we can only cut off the food supply and consume it. If the rear of Nanyang changes, then Xinye will become an isolated city."

Now he can only choose to besiege instead of attacking, and he is at a loss with Gao Shun.

In fact, it should be water and food shortages, but food shortages are okay. It is too difficult to cut off water here. If you dig some distance down at any place, you may dig out water. It is impossible to cut off water in this kind of place.

After venting his emotions, Sun Ce nodded and said, "That's the only way to go, let's discuss it with Liu Pan!"

After Liu Pan had seen the strength of the Nanyang Army's defense of the city, he was naturally unwilling to attack by force. He had no objection to the fact that he was forced to fight the enemy. After the two sides arranged their own defense areas, they began to distribute troops.

Upstairs in Xinye City, Gao Shun frowned and watched this scene. Although he was prepared, his heart was still a little heavy.

The enemy's siege also indicates that the enemy will fight a war of attrition with him. He is not afraid of running out of food. When he decided to go south, he prepared for the worst. A large amount of supplies were sent to Xinye. Even if Xinye was besieged, it would still be enough for the city. Used by the military and civilians for one year.

But in this way, this battle is doomed to be unable to decide the outcome in a short period of time, and Gao Shun will have no way to know about changes in Nanyang.

"Cao Xing!" Gao Shun looked at Cao Xing seeing that the enemy army had not yet completely besieged the city.

"What orders does the general have?" Cao Xing hurried forward and saluted Gao Shun.

Gao Shun pointed to the outside of the city and said, "The enemy is going to fight our siege."

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Why do you need to worry, General? The city has enough food and supplies for our army for a year!"

Gao Shun shook his head: "I'm not afraid of Xinye City, but when the enemy army besieged the city, our army cut off contact with the outside world. I will break out of the city and go to Wancheng with a hundred of your elites. Remember, you don't need to participate in the battle, but you need to know Ma Chao The battle situation over there, but if something important happens, be sure to come back and let me know!"

Cao Xing heard the words and said solemnly: "The last general takes orders!"

Among Gao Shun's subordinates, except for Ma Chao, who dared to contradict Gao Shun occasionally, no one would object to Gao Shun's decision, even if he didn't want to. It is safe, but it also lacks opportunities for meritorious service.

The direction Gao Shun chose to break out of the encirclement for Cao Xing was at the junction of the Jingzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army. At this moment, the defense had not yet been fully deployed. When the Jingzhou army was on guard, it seemed insignificant that Cao Xing led a hundred men to break out.

Naturally, Gao Shun would not go to war blindly, and he withdrew his troops after confirming that Cao Xing had left the city. The Jiangdong Army and the Jingzhou Army were a little baffled until some soldiers heard the news that someone had broken out of the encirclement.

"It seems to be reporting to Nanyang, don't worry, if there is a large group of Nanyang troops coming, it will be an ambush!" Zhou Yu laughed.

Sun Ce nodded. He is more concerned about Gao Shun now. As for a mere hundred people, they will run away if they run away. As long as Gao Shun is trapped, even if he is defeated in the end, as long as he can keep Gao Shun, breaking Lu Bu's arm will be considered a success. .

In order to keep the enemy army safe, Sun Ce and Liu Pan will send people to raid Xinye from time to time, so that Gao Shun can't relax, but at the same time, they also want to try to see if they can break through the city, although the possibility is not high.

And Gao Shun would not let the enemy troops sleep well, and would often send people out of the city to attack at night without going deep, as long as there was a surprise attack to make the enemy troops vigilant.

The two sides come and go like this. Although there is no large-scale war again, small-scale confrontations are emerging in endlessly.

On the other side, Wancheng.

After Cao Xing arrived in Wancheng, the letter from the court had already arrived.

"My son is in Nanyang!?" Cao Xing stared at Yin Feng with wide eyes in astonishment.

Yin Feng sighed: "I have ordered people to investigate secretly, and now all places are under martial law, and the young lady is not an arrogant person. When I receive the news, I will be careful and keep this matter secret."

"Then shall I go back and inform the general immediately?" Cao Xing was a little at a loss, this should be considered a big deal, right?

"You have to stay here to pass on important military information. Although this matter is of great importance, Nanyang is still safe now. Even if the general knows it, it will only cause the general to worry. If you stay here, you can also help me secretly investigate." Yin Feng shook his head. , It will be difficult for this elite team to go back and figure it out. Gao Shun's purpose is not this.

As for people like Lu Lingqi, Nanyang is fairly stable now, so he can't look for them in a big way, but if something happens in Nanyang, the other party should take the opportunity to blackmail them instead of killing them directly. In this way, people like Lu Lingqi are still safe for the time being.

"In addition, the imperial court will also send people to support. After a while, the troops should be more relaxed. You don't have to worry too much!" Yin Feng still has confidence in Gao Shun, but it is Ma Chao's side... Yin Feng is not too sure rest assured……
