The rebel army did not know that Yuyang County, which seemed to be calm, was already in turbulent conditions.

Teams from various places reached their peak arrival period in a short period of time, and Liu Bei was soon too busy to keep his feet off the ground.

Liu Bei was busy traveling around. He had to contact a team of rural soldiers, check the details of each department's food, grass, baggage, troops and equipment, and then arrange a new round of battle plans. Liu Bei, who was very busy, was busy with these complicated matters.

It made me miserable.

Liu Bei arranged another team of rural soldiers, and ordered this team of more than 500 people who came all the way from Hejian County to set up camp and set up defense lines. Under the mobilization of several commanders, the rural soldiers

They skillfully opened up the car formation and blocked the road, and the defense was completed instantly. Liu Bei asked a few simple questions, including how to lay out the fortifications, how to be on guard at night, and how to respond if the enemy troops collided. See the commanders' answers.

It was smooth, and Liu Bei felt relieved.

Without much delay, Liu Bei got on his horse and hurried to the next place.

The situation at this time was that the Julu Army sent a large number of scouts to operate in the opposite direction. Not only did the scouts fail to lead the way, they intercepted the reinforcements in advance and stopped them halfway.

Close to the border of Yuyang County, reinforcement teams that had been blocked in half began to set up camp on the spot, starting another tedious and boring defense construction.

If each ministry had no experience a month ago, it would have been extremely difficult for them to dig trenches and build fortifications to build a defense line. But now, the situation has changed. Each ministry has dug trenches and barriers for a full month and accumulated sufficient experience in trenching. It is time to start again.

All the ministries were able to handle the old tasks very well, and arranging the defense line was not difficult, only boring.

Thanks to the accumulation of previous experience, the ministries moved very quickly. The teams stationed in Japan and China could find out the roads within two or three miles around them before dark, and set up defenses on at least three to five roads overnight.

, extremely efficient.

——

The scout came to report again. Less than half a mile ahead, another team arrived. Liu Bei hurried over and made contact for a while. The commander of the team looked behind Liu Bei and asked, "Where is the military advisor? Is the military advisor here?"

Liu Bei smiled and said, "The military advisor was busy with other things and didn't come with me."

Soon, another group of people was seen.

When the leader saw that the military advisor was not there, he asked, "Where is the military advisor?"

"The military advisor is elsewhere and has not come here."

Almost every team will ask this question, just like when a wanderer who has been away from home returns home and does not see the backbone of the family at first glance, he has no confidence.

After contacting many teams, Liu Bei was waiting by the roadside. A large team came from the northwest. In front of the team, a big flag with the word "Guan" was fluttering in the wind.

Liu Bei turned around and laughed until the guards said, "The second general is here."

After saying, "Drive!" He picked up the reins and hurried towards Guan Yu's troops.

When Liu Bei and Guan Yu met, there was naturally a brief exchange of pleasantries. In the middle of the conversation, Guan Yu pointed to the team behind him and said proudly, "There are more than 5,000 people in a certain area and more than 800 cavalry, which is enough for a battle."

Needless to say about the other teams, the men and horses in Guan Yu's hands alone were enough to be the main force against thieves, and Liu Bei smiled even happier.

Guan Yu noticed that Li Mengxi was not around. He was silent for a moment and asked, "Where is Xi'er?"

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Xi'er has gone elsewhere."

"Where have you gone?" Guan Yu asked.

"North of Yuyang County."

Liu Bei's answer made Guan Yu a little curious about what Li Mengxi was going to do in the north.

Next, Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu's mighty troops and said, "Chang Yun, you have a lot of people. This five-mile radius is for you to watch. As usual, all intersections of all sizes are blocked. Arrangements will be made later.

"

Guan Yu suddenly had a glimmer of understanding, and the military advisor led his troops around to the north of Yuyang, where it was time to block the enemy's retreat.

Once he figured it out, Guan Yu smiled knowingly.

On the way here, Guan Yu was still thinking that he had brought more than 5,000 people. Adding up the people brought by other ministries, the total number of troops was approaching a terrifying number. Guan Yu also thought that with such a huge force, he should defeat the enemy.

A wave of defeats, but he never thought that under such a huge advantage, the military commander could still calm down and slowly attack the enemy. Guan Yu sighed to himself.

On the same day, Zhang Fei also arrived.

Zhang Fei's unit is very special. The team is full of cavalry, with more than a thousand horsemen. When asked, Zhang Fei came together with Daijun's officers and soldiers, half of the team was Daijun's cavalry.

Zhang Fei was an impatient man. When he saw Liu Bei and knew that the main force had arrived, as well as reinforcements from various ministries, he said impatiently, "Brother, why don't you gather the troops and horses together, and we will lead the troops to kill them all the way. Why worry about the uncertainty of the war?"

Liu Bei had no choice but to comfort him and said, "Don't be impatient, Yi De. Let me tell you in detail."

Liu Bei explained that it is not difficult to defeat the enemy in a battle. The difficulty is to injure the enemy by one thousand and injure eight hundred. The difficulty lies in the fact that if the enemy escapes and cannot be pursued, the war will be delayed. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare for a rainy day before the enemy escapes.

We need to defend ourselves first, so we must lay down a heavy siege before fighting to eliminate the possibility of the enemy troops escaping.

"In this way, we can accomplish all our efforts in one battle." Liu Bei explained.

Zhang Fei scratched his head, thinking that this was the reason, and looked back at the team he brought with him, "Brother, I don't have enough food and grass."

The problem of food and grass is indeed a big problem at hand.

As early as January before, when the defense orders were issued to all ministries, we had already realized the difficulties in logistics, and food and grass were the most difficult part of logistics.

There are many methods, but it is expected that it will be difficult for the commanders with little experience in commanding the army to completely solve the problem of food and grass.

Reinforcements from various ministries arrived all the way from various counties, and they traveled all the way. The food and fodder could meet the needs on the road. Now that the food and fodder of all ministries have generally been exhausted, Liu Bei had to find a way to solve the problem.

Liu Bei came to Liu Yu and talked about the food and grass matter. He also pointed out that if there were more reinforcements, a lot of food and grass would be needed, and he would like to ask Liu Yu to support him. Due to emotions and reasons, Liu Yu, as the host, should provide food and grass for the friendly forces.

Liu Yu took over all the food and grass of the Julu Army without hesitation. Liu Yu still didn't know how much he would pay for it later.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The perspective returns to the entire battlefield of Yuyang County. The entire Yuyang County is a blind perspective state for any party. Yu Julu Army, Julu Army

It is impossible to figure out how vast the area around Yuyang is, how many intersections need to be defended, and how many blockades need to be deployed. It is also unclear how detailed the enemy's movements are; and the enemy is even more confused. The enemy in Yuyang County has no idea at this time.

What happened, within the range that the enemy could perceive in detail, in Yuyang County, the Julu Army only invested a small number of decoy troops, which caused a huge strategic misjudgment to the enemy.

The encirclement was formed without the enemy being aware of it.

——

On April 28, Li Mengxi led his troops to the north of Yuyang County, and on the sixth day.

The main camp is located in an unrecognizable village that has been renovated. Low earth walls have been built around the village. All exits of the village are blocked by vehicles. A tall pole has been erected on the middle house in the village.

[Shenji] The big flag, where the Shenji flag is, is where Li Mengxi, the military advisor of the Julu Army, is. This is Li Mengxi’s exclusive flag.

Li Mengxi was busy all the time. There was a huge cypress tree in the village. The cypress tree had thick and tall branches. Li Mengxi took a fancy to the height of this century-old tree. He thought he could build a lookout on it or build one instead.

The shooting platform was used for combat. The skilled craftsmen followed the instructions and used simple wooden boards and sticks and some ropes. Without using any nails, they built a platform as big as a house on the branches.

Now the soldiers were lifting their crossbows and arrows upwards, preparing to establish a shooting point on the tree.

Li Mengxi stood under the tree and watched the sergeants busy. He visually measured the height of the tree, estimated the difficulty and time-consuming of building the shooting stand, and calculated it carefully. He found that building a tree fort was far simpler than building an arrow tower from scratch.

easy.

His eyes fell under the big tree and he simulated it in his mind. If the enemy attacked the village, the big tree would be in the middle of the village. At that time, the sergeant above the big tree would be able to attack the people below with the help of their condescending height advantage.

The enemy launches a sharp attack. If the command center is also located on the tree fort, when the village falls, it can continue to resist with the help of the tree fort.

On the other hand, if you are the attacker, how should you respond when the enemy relies on the tree fort to desperately resist?

There is no doubt that the tree fort with its height advantage is equivalent to a small city wall. It is not difficult to conquer with the use of equipment. However, without the use of equipment, the disadvantage of the tree fort is that the trees are not strong enough and can be cut down or destroyed.

Setting fire to the tree fort is a way to fight against the tree fort. When attacking the tree fort, you can set it on fire. Once the tree trunk is on fire, there is no need to attack by force. All the enemies on the tree will be destroyed in the sea of ​​flames.

On the other hand, what if one day we are defending on the tree fort and the enemy sets fire to attack us?

Trees are flammable, and there is no good fire prevention method unless contact with flames can be avoided. The way to avoid contact with flames is to build a small wall with bricks and stones around the trees. In this way, soldiers below can rely on the wall to fight.

Cooperating with the crossbowmen on the tree fort to form a horn, it can also serve as a barrier on the outside of the tree fort to prevent the enemy from approaching and setting fire to it.

Li Mengxi also thought that in addition to trees, the houses scattered around the village are also natural building foundations. By slightly modifying the houses, using the walls and roofs of the houses as supports, and the wooden frames erected on top, a tall building can be easily built.

Shooting platforms, with these shooting platforms, there are great advantages whether it is observation from high altitude or combat from high altitude.

Taking out his pen, Li Mengxi wrote down the new method of arranging fortifications that he thought of.

Everything was busy everywhere, and the dogs in the village suddenly started barking. Not long after, the soldiers on guard on the sentry tower suddenly came out with a warning signal.

Li Mengxi suddenly became nervous. He glanced around and said, "Go up the wall! Guard!" He shouted at the messenger.

The whole camp suddenly started to move. Soldiers wearing helmets and holding crossbows quickly reached their guarding positions and entered combat mode. For a moment, the bows and crossbows opened with a clanging sound.

Li Mengxi was very concerned about his own life. He knew clearly that he was blocking the enemy's retreat and was very likely to be hit head-on by the enemy. A battle could break out at any time. Therefore, after building the camp, he arranged

Fully four hundred soldiers were on duty around the clock and did not dare to slack off at all.

Shortly after the camp entered combat mode, a group of troops arrived.

The visitors were Liu, Guan, and Zhang. From a distance, the three of them saw the fortified camp set up by Li Mengxi. They saw a small village surrounded by walls like iron barrels. There were densely packed archers and crossbowmen on the top of the walls, and towering arrow towers stood at the four corners.

, there are soldiers wielding crossbows on the tower, eyeing them up. They are far away, and the crossbows on the ground may not be able to reach them, but Liu, Guan, and Zhang have no doubt that the powerful crossbows at the top of the arrow towers will be able to catch them.

Looking at the various camps set up by Li Mengxi, they also remembered that along the way, there was a road jam almost halfway up. Liu, Guan, and Zhang looked at each other and smiled. They were a little worried that the military advisor would be too busy for one person, but now they realized that this was completely unnecessary.

In the camp, at the top of the wall, Li Mengxi had already seen the figures of Liu, Guan, and Zhang. The soldiers beside him also said that it was Liu, Guan, and Zhang who had arrived, but Li Mengxi thought in his heart, what if it was fake?

It’s no wonder that Li Mengxi felt guilty. He, Mr. Li, had too many weird and weird ideas. He, Mr. Li, knew that there was enough magic to make things look fake, and he knew that there was a magical disguise that could make him look like a real person. In order to use this method

To harm the enemy, Mr. Li had already formed a special battalion called the Props Battalion. Precisely because he knew the power of confusing the real with the fake, Li Mengxi was more cautious than others.

Li Mengxi did not leave lightly. He sent his soldiers to confirm. The soldiers came to Liu, Guan, and Zhang to check the seal. Liu Bei reluctantly took out the seal and handed it to the soldiers to check.
