Chapter 119 Stability
After stabilizing the morale of the army, the biggest problem was solved, and the local problems would be much easier to deal with. However, Liu Yi did not rush to start deploying Cao's army. Wei Yue had already brought his men to support Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun's camp had a +22 morale, +24 strong and +23 range. With such attributes, with the harassment along the coast, the Cao army could not conquer for a while.
Liu Yi first started to clean up Zhou Ben's funeral, and at the same time ordered martial law throughout the city. In order to avoid conflict between the Jiangxia army, Liu Yi did not move the Jiangxia army's military power, but discussed with several generals and officials of Jiang Xiong and other big and small to discuss defense matters. Zhou Ben, who was determined to seize power, was much smoother this time than the last time. Jiang Xiong led the two schools to be responsible for helping Zhao Yun or the city wall at any time, while Liu Yi and two other generals were mainly responsible for the city defense.
In order to avoid mutual disability, each of them divided a section of city walls to protect. At the same time, in order to avoid Cao's army in the city waiting for an opportunity, Liu Yi ordered Mocheng to impose a curfew from now on, and no one is allowed to go out at night. Even during the day, the people's activities will be defined and special personnel will be assigned to manage. In short, before Cao's army retreats, the people's movements will be limited.
Jiang Xiong and others were quite satisfied with Liu Yi's arrangements and did not take the opportunity to seize power. Moreover, in terms of distribution, Liu Yi showed full sincerity to Ximen, who had the greatest defensive pressure.
Of course, Zhou Ben's confidants were not satisfied with this, but dozens of generals and officials in the army agreed, and even began to help Liu Yi suppress them. They were few and dangerous, and opposition was ineffective. As for encouraging soldiers to leave, it was even more impossible. If this was true, no one would object to Liu Yi's move to them at this time.
At the same time, outside Zhao Yun's camp, Cao Ren gritted his teeth and looked at the mother-child ships cruising on the Han River. The strength of Zhao Yun's camp exceeded his expectations. The gate could be easily broken by reason, but after a day of attack, the gate was covered with scars, but it still stood firm.
What's even more annoying is that the range of bows and arrows in this village is also extremely long, and they can shoot more than thirty steps more than their bows and arrows. In addition, Wei Yue led the fleet to attack from the side on the shore, forcing Cao Ren to send archers to suppress them. What's depressed is that although the other party's bows and arrows are not as good as the camp, the range is higher than that of Cao's army's bows and arrows. After a day of trouble, although the losses are not too much, the camps are still unable to break through.
The result was different from what I expected, which made Cao Ren very depressed.
"Zi Xiao, withdraw your troops!" Xiahou Yuan rode his horse to Cao Ren. He couldn't break the camp today, but the other party's weakness and reality were almost clear. Looking at the slightly broken camp under the sunset, Xiahou Yuan sneered: "Let him live one more day. Tomorrow we will attack together from three sides, and we will definitely break the camp."
"Retreat!" Cao Ren nodded with a little depressed. The entanglement of this Mo City exceeded everyone's expectations. Before going to war, he never thought that so many of their troops would be blocked in the Mo City one after another.
The sound of gold sounds started to retreat like a tide. In the setting sun, Zhao Yun stood above the gate, looking at the direction of Cao's retreat, and finally sighed. Cao's formation was strictly forbidden. If he pursued at this moment, Cao's army could react immediately.
"Notify the troops on the river to withdraw." Zhao Yun waved his hand and signaled the soldiers to slap the flag to the river. He didn't know who led the troops in this fleet, but the existence of the other party did share a lot of pressure on him. If it weren't for the restraint of this navy, Cao's army could not attack the camp with all their strength, I'm afraid that even if we could defend this camp today, there would be no small casualties.
However, the Mo City has not sent reinforcements, which made Zhao Yun very concerned. He did not feel that Liu Yi would not send troops, but was worried about whether Liu Yi could suppress Zhou Ben in Mo City. Judging from Zhou Ben's arrogant attitude before, if Zhou Ben insisted on not sending troops, Liu Yi would probably not be able to deal with him. What Zhao Yun was most worried about was that both sides fought to the death. Once the two sides clashed, Mo City might not be able to defend it.
I'm afraid the military advisor didn't expect this to happen, right?
Zhao Yun had a headache, and I wonder if Liu Yi could stabilize under such circumstances.
The fleet did not leave, but slowly drove towards this side. Zhao Yun was a little confused and came to the shore with his men. Then he saw Wei Yue standing at the bow of the boat and bowing to Zhao Yun, saying, "General Zilong, Bo Yuan asked me to lead the army to help this time and send you some other supplies."
This is also the benefit of having one more branch of troops. Even if Cao's army knew that Liu Yi was connecting the camp through water routes, they could only stare at it. Who said that Cao's army was mainly infantry? Although the surrendered army in Jingzhou was proficient in water warfare, Cao Ren and the others came here obviously did not match the navy.
"Thank you to me for Mr. Bo Yuan." Zhao Yun nodded. The trust between the two sides had been established, and he was not polite at this moment. Although he had brought some supplies in before, it was mainly materials for building the military camp, grain supplies and arrow clusters, and did not bring too much.
Since someone started to transport supplies from the ship, Zhao Yun came to Wei Yue and frowned and said, "I don't know what the situation in the city is?"
"When Zhou Ben was assassinated, Bo Yuan went to the military camp to appease the morale of the army." Wei Yue sighed.
"Assassination?" Zhao Yun raised his sword-brow and looked at Wei Yue with some doubts.
"I know what Zilong thinks, but this matter is really not what we do." Wei Yue looked at Zhao Yun's expression and shook his head with a wry smile: "I have the intention to kill him, but Bo Yuan stopped him several times and put the overall situation first. Although he was killed this time, it was very pleasing to the people, but the Jiangxia soldiers in the city were dissatisfied. I don't know if Bo Yuan could suppress him?"
Wei Yue was also quite worried about this.
Zhao Yun frowned and said, "How many troops will General Wei bring this time?"
"Five hundred." Wei Yue said.
"Aren't there even fewer soldiers in Mocheng in the city?" Zhao Yun was shocked when he heard this. Liu Yi had given him five hundred people before, but now he sent another five hundred people out, so how many people in Mocheng are there.
"So, Zilong, quickly unload the things. I'll go back to Mocheng as soon as possible." Wei Yue nodded. There are not many soldiers in Mocheng now, and now there are so many, and there are less than 200 people around Liu Yi. If the Jiangxia soldiers were malicious, it would be useless even if Lu Lingqi was there.
"Yun accompanied the general." Zhao Yun said in a deep voice.
"Who will guard here?" Wei Yue shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Zilong, Bo Yuan is not an ordinary person. Those Jiangxia soldiers have lost their commanders and their intentions may not be true. Bo Yuan said that this matter is important and must not be misunderstood. Zilong should guard this place well. Don't worry about the matter in the city, we will wait."
Zhao Yun nodded silently and urged the soldiers to remove the baggage, he urged Wei Yue to return to the army. Wei Yue was also worried about Mocheng, so he said goodbye to Zhao Yun and urged the fleet to speed up the return.
