Chapter 444: Three Ways to Encircle

Taishan Zang Ba according to the former appointment out of Jizhou, with the cooperation of Tai Shi Ci to take Meng County, so that the situation of the front line confrontation was completely broken, Yuan Shao also immediately implemented the agreed initiative to attack the strategy, when Zang Ba and Tai Shi Ci rushed to Jigu, Gan Ning set up a banquet to entertain everyone, and immediately discussed the military situation with the two generals and Xu Shu Pang Tong, the current situation can be said to be quite urgent.

Not only is the enemy army in Bohai gradually approaching, but the rest of the counties and counties of Jizhou are also concentrating, in addition to the news just received last night, Yanzhou Cao Cao also sent 50,000 horses under the command of Yu Ban to cross the border of Jizhou to kill Jigu, Cao Mengde's general Gan Ning is not familiar with it, but the last battle of Xuzhou was that he led the army until the city of Xiapi, and after Liu Bei's full counterattack, he was still able to retreat and keep the land of the two counties he occupied. This is also a key figure in the text.

The Bohai army is claimed to be 50,000, the details have not yet been explored clearly at this time, according to the speculation of Gan Ning and Xu Pang, at least 30,000, and the defenders of the counties and countries in Jizhou are afraid that there are about 30,000, plus the Qingzhou battalion, which is extremely strong in the forbidden war, the enemy army can be described as strong! On the other hand, at this time, there were only more than 13,000 Flying Tiger soldiers in Gan Ning's hands, and Tai Shici's personal guards were only 2,000 iron horses, and although the number of Taishan troops who came with Zang Ba was close to 20,000, it can be said that their combat power was slightly inferior to that of Jizhou County, so it was clear that the enemy was outnumbered.

These war conditions Gan Ning has never concealed from Zang Ba, he dared to go deep into the territory of Jizhou and was ready to face the encirclement of the superior enemy army, in exchange for the usual such a force comparison victory or defeat is self-evident, but now the situation is not always the case, Yuan Shao's main force was contained by Liu Yi's army, although the Cao army's combat power is strong, after all, there is still a problem of command coordination with the Jizhou army, as long as the strategy is appropriate, the Flying Tiger Army still has the strength to fight, of course, the tactics can not be missed.

Zang Ba's Taishan army is still led by him after entering Jigu, in addition to the guide, Gan Ning did not place any of his own manpower, in the current situation this is the best way to ensure its combat effectiveness, and Liu Yi has long made a commitment to this, if this battle wins the Taishan army, it will also claim to be a battalion to join the army, and Zang Ba will be the commander of the Taishan battalion! After entering the city, Gan Ning also used the military supplies in the ancient city of Ji to change the clothes of this group of people and horses, maximizing their combat power, and Zang Ba was very satisfied with this series of arrangements, although the current situation was quite dangerous, but firstly, Liu Yi and Gan Ning had words first, and secondly, he had to take some risks for the way out of his brothers in the future.

"Although the enemy army is uneven, the Qingzhou battalion in Yanzhou is the number one enemy of our army, followed by the Bohai Yuan army, although the number of soldiers in the rest of the counties is large, but not afraid, according to the military situation, the Qingzhou battalion is still eight to ten days away from Jigu, and it will take the same time after the people and horses of each county complete the assembly, and although the Bohai Road is known as Yuan Shao's personal leadership, he may not be able to attack Jigu alone, and he must be able to attack Jigu alone. In the lobby, Xu Shu was analyzing the situation of the enemy and our army in front of the sand table, and there were constantly scouts of the Flying Tiger Army coming and going here to report the latest movements of the enemy army.

"Now that the military situation is here, what is the countermeasure for Brother Xuan, but it doesn't hurt to speak up." After listening to Xu Shu's analysis, Gan Ning spoke out and first said to Zang Ba, in addition to valuing this person's vision, he also wanted to let him integrate into Liu Yijun's atmosphere of pre-war discussion as soon as possible.

Xingba's move was obviously a bit unexpected by Zang Ba, in addition to listening to Xu Shu's analysis of the military situation, he also had a strong interest in this sand table, this thing and the battle array is very useful, he is quite capable of commanding troops, and saw that Gan Ning's words were sincere, and when he sank and groaned, he also said: "When the daytime Ba entered the city, he also looked at the defense of this city in detail, and the strength of the city was only slightly above Mengxian, far inferior to Xiapi, and Langya was also quite inferior, if the enemy army was surrounded by three roads as Mr. Xu said, Even if the corporal of the second general is afraid, it is difficult to hold on for a long time, and since it cannot be held for a long time, it seems that our army should take the initiative to attack and seek opportunities to destroy the enemy. . . . "The observation of the city Zang Ba is very meticulous, but in the end he is still a little hesitant, the battle of Mengxian has given him a deep understanding of the enemy's combat power, this time the enemy is outnumbered, it is very risky to go out of the city to face the battle, this is the first time he participated in Liu Yijun's pre-war meeting, and what he said is not to take the lead.

"Xuan Gao really has the courage and knowledge, blindly defending is not Gan's doing, Yuan originally thought that he would be able to leave my Flying Tiger Army here by uniting with Cao Mengde? How can a certain person be as he wishes, Xuan Gao's initiative to attack is exactly what I want, and Mr. Xu Pang and the two have a countermeasure. Gan Ning said appreciatively, and he knew a little bit about what Zang Ba thought in the center, and after speaking, he looked at Xu Shu again.

"Bohai Yuan army is known as 50,000 people, and led by Yuan Benchu, but we seem to be a bluff, before Jizhou never expected our army to have a surprise attack on the ancient strategy, his main elite has been fully contained by the lord's army, how dare to move? If it weren't for the Yanzhou people to aid the second general, they could hit their flanks and echo with the lord, now although Cao Cao is very fast, but it will take time for the forbidden people to reach Jigu, our army can attack first, to deal with the Yuan army that came out of the Bohai Sea, if it is really Yuan Shao to come if necessary, you can abandon Jigu and go, otherwise it will be broken and then return to the army to fight with Yu Wenze, although this city is not a strong city, but with the power of our army to hold on to Yu Ban is not afraid, and the frontline battle situation is then improvised. "Liu Yi and the military divisions had the intention of bringing Gan Ning close to the Bohai Sea, and the results of Xingba's recent discussions with Xu Shu Pang Tong coincided with this, and it was unanimously expected that Yuan Shaoding would not give up the front line to come to Jigu, and their fighters were here.

"The second general attacking the enemy all the way is the best policy, you can Jizhou soldiers combat power plus the location is in hand, I am afraid that it is not an overnight achievement to break it, so this Jigu must remain in the hands of our army, if things change, it can be regarded as defending this city, and it can also create a fighter plane for the lord, and I am willing to defend this city for the general." Tai Shi Ci said, Xu Shu Pang Tong and the two are extremely wise, Gan Ning and other generals also respect them, but the military is still extremely particular about seniority, when Liu Bei first got Zhuge , with Kong Ming's great talent also immediately obtained military command, with the current situation, it is extremely risky to sit in Jigu, but in terms of the overall situation, it cannot be abandoned, Ziyi said that he will take this heavy responsibility.

"I don't know Ziyi's heart, it's just that the personal guard cavalry still needs to be led by a general, Xuan Gao, I intend to hand over Jigu to you, and Gan can also defend this city with Xuan Gao." In terms of the swiftness of the forbidden troops and the Jizhou battlefield is another variable, Cao Cao almost did not wait for Yuan Shao to ask for help and made arrangements in advance, but it is an extremely effective hand, the importance of Jigu at this time Gan Ning will not be unaware, although Xu Pang and the two said that it is necessary to give up when necessary, but that is in the case of Yuan Shao coming in person, otherwise this city Ganning will not be lost, although Zang Ba's Taishan army is not well trained and difficult to defeat in the field Jizhou regular soldiers, but if there is a city to defend the city with one heart, it can be useful, Now it seems that it is the best strategy for the personal guard iron cavalry to cooperate with the Flying Tiger Army to attack and the Taishan army to stay behind, but this move is also very likely to affect the morale of the army under Zang Ba's command, so Gan Ning has the words to defend this city with him.

"Xingba, what do you say, Ba this time he is in favor of General Liu's command should abide by the military order, and now the situation has been told by Xingba before the war, now it is the best policy to break the Bohai Yuan army first, and it is also a fact that the people of Mount Tai are better than field battles for defending the city, I know that Xingba is afraid that the brothers under the tyrant will misunderstand, but how can the three armies be handsome? Although the tyrant is not talented, he is willing to defend this city for the second general. "What is the combat strength of his command, Zang Ba knows it, and he also knows Gan Ning's scruples, this person can treat himself like this, which shows his heart, how can he retreat at this time, and he said angrily at the moment.

"Hahaha, okay, Xuan Gao rest assured, no matter what the situation of the attack is, he will lead the army to join Xuan Gao! The order was sent down, and the Flying Tiger Guards Second Army was ready for battle, and it would send troops after noon tomorrow. Gan Ning no longer had any doubts when he heard this, and even when he issued a military order, he prepared to go out of the city to meet the Bohai Yuan army.
