Chapter 1000: Dividing Troops to Attack
Although Anping County is the only way to travel from Bohai to Lecheng County.
But it's not the only way.
Pei Yuanshao's idea was that since Anping County was difficult to fight, it was better not to fight him at all, and directly led the cavalry to bypass him and go straight to Lecheng County, the seat of Hejian County.
Anyway, Xu Huang and the others got the information that Yuan Xi's big camp was all placed in Lecheng County.
As long as Lecheng County is defeated and Yuan Xi is captured alive, the war will basically end on the battlefield in Jizhou.
Why bother to go near and far, go to attack Anping County, and then go to Lecheng County.
Such a round of attacks will only lose a large number of soldiers and horses.
was said by Pei Yuanshao, Xu Huang also glanced at Pei Yuanshao.
"Lao Pei, there is nothing wrong with what you say."
Xu Huang looked at this Anping County.
But after thinking about it carefully, he still shook his head.
"This is the north, and the city is relatively empty all around, we can indeed bypass Anping and directly attack Lecheng County, but in this case, it will also make us fall into a situation where we are alone."
"Although we are not afraid of Yuan Xi's men and horses, once the lone army penetrates, this Anping soldiers and horses cut off our back road, then we will be bad, without follow-up supplies, it is easy for the whole army to fall into panic."
Xu Huang said his opinion to Pei Yuanshao.
Xu Huang was not afraid of Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses, but he was so rash that he killed the hinterland, and it was very likely that he would be ambushed.
In the event of an ambush, it is good to say that Xu Huang's soldiers and horses are all cavalry, and they can easily break through the traps set by the enemy.
What he was worried about was that after he led his soldiers and horses to Hejian County, then Zhu Ling, who was in the rear, could cut off his back.
If the back road is cut off, Xu Huang's grain and grass will not be able to be transported, which will be terrible.
If Xu Huang was only a few hundred cavalry, or even one or two thousand people, he could just rob some small villages or kill a few horses, and he would be able to solve the problem.
But Xu Huang had 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry.
There are 30,000 horses here, so many people, once the grain road is cut off, it will be a big problem.
It didn't take long, only a few days, and it was enough to make Xu Huang's men and horses panic.
Therefore, the idea put forward by Pei Yuanshao is very good, but it is not something that Xu Huang can choose.
"What the general said is that I ignored it."
"It's not impossible, though."
Xu Huang changed his words and seemed to think of something.
Pei Yuanshao on the side was immediately interested, and asked Xu Huang.
"General, please help me solve my doubts, what should I do?"
"Don't we have exactly 30,000 horses? Leaving some people to besiege Anping, the rest of the cavalry quickly went to Hejian County, the cavalry was very mobile, and could quickly reach Hejian and surround the entire Lecheng County. ”
"Leave a part of the soldiers and horses stationed here, and surround Anping County here, and open the way for our grain route, so that our goal can be achieved."
As soon as Xu Huang's words were said, Pei Yuanshao immediately nodded yes.
"What the general said is extremely true, General Tai Shici's soldiers and horses should arrive in a few days, and our people only need to besiege Anping County for a few days."
"As long as it is not broken by Zhu Ling's army in a few days, if you do this, it will be equivalent to winning the game, after all, wait for a few days, and when Liu Zheng's army arrives, it will be a mere Anping county, and it will not be a problem at all."
If he said this, then Pei Yuanshao would be able to understand.
"However, there is another problem, after all, the importance of Anping County is self-evident, there must be a trustworthy general to guard here, otherwise once we lose, our teammates on the front line will fall into a situation from which we will never recover."
Xu Huang frowned and said what he was thinking about.
Saying this, Pei Yuanshao immediately understood what Xu Huang meant, and immediately patted his chest and said.
"General, then you can leave this matter to me, I Pei Yuanshao, you should always be trustworthy, rest assured, as long as I am here, the people and horses in Anping County, Hugh wants to come out of the city, this grain road, I will definitely defend it for you!"
Pei Yuanshao was originally the deputy general under Xu Huang, Xu Huang's right and left hand, and ranked as the second leader in the army.
Naturally, he won Xu Huang's trust, Xu Huang said this, just because he wanted Pei Yuanshao to take the initiative to propose it himself, and he also pushed the boat to let Pei Yuanshao stay.
"Okay, it's really a good brother, if you are here, then I can rest assured, you lead 3,000 cavalry, 10,000 foot soldiers to stay here, to ensure that our back road can be passed, remember, if the enemy in this Anping County dares to come out, you will lead our soldiers and horses to give him a little color."
Xu Huang ordered Pei Yuanshao to guard Anping, and he would take Zhang He and lead 17,000 cavalry to directly enter Lecheng County.
If he can surround Lecheng and trap Yuan Xi to death in this Lecheng County, even if Xu Huang does not kill Yuan Xi and break this Lecheng County, he will achieve his goal.
After all, Xu Huang only needed to wait for Liu Zheng's headquarters army.
As soon as the army arrived, this district of Lecheng County was not able to be defeated casually.
After Pei Yuanshao and Xu Huang discussed the strategy, they soon began to implement it.
Xu Huang and Zhang He directly killed Lecheng County, and Pei Yuanshao led a part of Tai Shici's soldiers and horses and stationed them in Anping County.
When the army moved, it was naturally impossible to escape the gaze of Zhu Ling in Anping County.
With a gloomy face, he watched the rapid movement of the soldiers and horses under the city, and at first thought that the army was preparing to attack Anping County, so he was frightened, and hurriedly ordered his men and horses to defend.
But looking at the movement of soldiers and horses, it seemed that something was wrong, and only then did I see clearly that these mobilized soldiers and horses were heading straight to the rear of Hejian County.
It was not for Anping County, Zhu Ling understood at this moment what the plans of these soldiers and horses were.
"It's not good, these people, they don't plan to entangle with us here, they want to go directly to Lecheng County, the lord is in danger!"
Zhu Ling thought that after Xu Huang and these cavalry went straight to Lecheng County, he was immediately shocked, he understood that with the strength of these soldiers and horses in front of him, although it was difficult to break Lecheng County, it would definitely make Yuan Xi frightened, and he could only defend and disrupt Yuan Xi's offensive rhythm.
After blaming this matter, Zhu Ling must be the first to suffer.
After all, Zhu Ling did not block Xu Huang's army and let the rear lose, but it was a sin.
Thinking of this, Zhu Ling's scalp tingled, and he thought of immediately sending troops to fight with these centaurs outside the city, involving their footsteps.
