After Liu Jing took down the Eagle-billed Cliff, he did not rush to attack. He stood on the Eagle-billed Cliff and looked towards Guiniupo. He could clearly see a large number of newly built fortifications by the Shu army, with ravines and strict barriers. Obviously, the Shu army was already on Guiniupo. For Liu Jing, this would be a tough tough bone to crack.

After taking down the Eagle Beak Cliff, Liu Jing did not show much joy. After all, this was the first battle to start the Battle of Xiling, and he defeated only three thousand defenders. Such a battle was originally just an appetizer before the meal, but it was just a little smoother and was not worth celebrating.

Even Liu Jing used a few short words to send his Majesty Cao Liang. This victory was not as good as he showed off.

According to the information currently available, the defenders of Guiniupo are ten times that of Yingzui Cliff, and the Shu generals stationed in Guiniupo are not others. They are old opponents of the Wei army, Sima Yi's youngest son Sima Lun.

The Sima family has been completely destroyed in the Central Plains. The Sima family, which once dazzling and brilliant, is now only a mess. Most of the people of the Sima family are either dead or disabled. Even Sima Yiqiang, who escaped to Wu, is in a state of despair. Now only Sima Lun, who escaped to Shu, is left.

Sima Lun is a tough guy. He showed his extraordinary side when he was fighting with the Wei army in the Central Plains. Now that he has come to Shu Kingdom, he is also in trouble. Not only is he appointed as the General of the Cavalry, but he also became the son-in-law of the Lord of Shu Liu Chan, who was very glorious for a while.

However, Sima Lun still had two tricks after all. When he was in Yuzhou, he had severely damaged the Zhongjian camp. The Zhongjian camp was almost destroyed, which almost set a record for defeat of the Bingzhou army. Although the Zhongjian camp was later rebuilt with the help of other brother camps, this shame made all the soldiers of the Bingzhou army share the same hatred for the enemy. When they attack Sima Lun in the future, everyone worked hard to fight just to avenge the revenge of the past.

So this time I heard that Sima Lun was in charge of the Vanting, and all the soldiers of the Wei army were holding their breath secretly. Sima Lun was also very brave. He beat him several times but failed to take him down. This time, at Vanting, he had to deal with Sima Lun and let another eunuch in the world.

However, Liu Jing did not dare to be careless, because Cao Liang had said before that Sima Lun was a powerful figure. He was not only good at strategy, but also had a sensible vision and overall view. Such an opponent should not underestimate the enemy no matter who faced him.

Yang Hu was a famous general in the Wei army. He had outstanding military achievements and extraordinary strategies. He was recognized as a famous general in the world. However, in the battle in Yuzhou that year, Yang Hu was defeated by Sima Lun and lost all his reputation for life.

Yang Hu has become Sima Lun's defeated general. When Liu Jing faced Sima Lun, he naturally did not dare to be arrogant. Therefore, after taking down the Eagle-billed Cliff, Liu Jing did not rashly advance, but sent a scout army to conduct detailed reconnaissance on Guiniupo's position.

After reconnaissance, Liu Jing found that the information he received at this moment was very different from the information he had before. It must be that after Sima Lun arrived at the Kanting, he made large-scale changes to the Kanting's defense system.

Fortunately, Liu Jing did not march rashly, otherwise the Wei army would have suffered a great loss if he used expired information to attack Guiniupo.

The area of ​​Guiniupo is much larger than that of Yingzui Cliff. Although the terrain is not as dangerous as Yingzui Cliff, it is also easy to defend and difficult to attack. In situations where cavalry cannot be used, it is not easy for the Wei army to take down Guiniupo.

The two magic weapons of the Wei army were cavalry and catapults. Therefore, in the plains, the Wei army was almost invincible. Even if the enemy was huddled in a strong city, it would be useless. The catapults that could invincible can destroy any city and fortress that blocked their advance. With these two magic weapons, it was no secret that the Wei army swept through the Central Plains like autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.

But the most troublesome thing about the Wei army was to fight this kind of mountain war, which was rugged and difficult to move around. Under such terrain conditions, the cavalry had almost no place to use their power. The only way for them to participate in the battle was to abandon the horse and the scene battle.

Once the cavalry is abandoned, the advantages of the cavalry will not only be lost, but their daily training is also centered around cavalry warfare. If they are really treated as infantry, their strength will be greatly reduced. Once they are not more useful than regular infantry, they will at most strengthen their momentum and support the scene. In real battles, regular infantry will have to be fought with regular infantry.

As for the catapult cart, it has become a decoration. For the defensive positions of the Shu army, the catapult cart does not have that long range, and it is beyond reach!

After the Wei army lost two major advantages, such a mountain battle became much more difficult. After all, mountain combat is the strength of the Shu army, and the Wei army does not have any advantage. Even if the opponent is the Wu army or the Sima army, it is not the local Shu army in Yizhou who is really good at mountain warfare, but in the case of equal opportunities, the defense side has a advantage in the advantage of the geographical advantage, and the Wei army has to attack from the rear. Overall, it is still at a certain disadvantage.

Liu Jing still thought of many ways to turn passive into initiative and disadvantage into advantage. The Fog War Eagle-billed Cliff is a successful battle example.

If the Wei army launched a strong attack on the Eagle-billed Cliff according to the normal combat method, it would not only have to bear a large number of casualties, but also delayed for a long time, so it would be impossible to take down the Eagle-billed Cliff with one attack.

However, through heavy fog, the Wei army launched a surprise attack and received unexpected results. Not only did the number of casualties be much less than expected, but they also achieved the effect of a quick battle and decisive battle. It took only one attack and several hours to successfully conquer the Eagle-billed Cliff.

Can you not copy such successful experiences a few times?

Liu Jing was full of confidence in the fog battle. After he took the Eagle Beak Cliff, he did not immediately launch an attack on Guiniupo. In addition to the necessary reconnaissance, the biggest factor was that Liu Jing was waiting for the foggy weather to come again.

If it is in the Central Plains, the next heavy fog will be far away. It is very likely that it may not be able to wait for a few months or even half a year.

However, under such climatic conditions in the south, heavy fog is not uncommon, especially in the rainy seasons near the Yangtze River and in autumn and winter. Heavy fog often occurs. Liu Jing asked the local people in detail and the reply was that the fog weather like the day before yesterday would usually occur once every three or five days, so what Liu Jing had to do now is to wait for the next fog to come.
