Chapter 201: Anticipate the Enemy's Opportunity
As expected, it was rainy for two days.
Guo Jia's face was also very gloomy.
His crockpot bombs were useless on rainy days, and this battle could only be fought in the most primitive way.
The most primitive method is to pile it up with human life, which makes Guo Jia very disgusted.
Lord!
Xu Shu, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and generals gathered together, and even Fu Zhu came with illness.
Yuan Shao's arrival also made them feel like a great enemy.
"Yuan Shao's army suddenly turned around and went to Zhending."
Tanma immediately came to report.
Since Cai Yu had already left Wuji County to build an extraterritorial intelligence system, the source of information was temporarily provided by Zhao Yun's scouts.
It's really certain!
Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, looking at the map puzzled.
The crowd also came to the side of the map.
In other words, this Taishou is really a strange person, and he can make such a detailed map, and the mountains, rivers, topography and cities are clear at a glance.
Under Guo Jia's vigorous promotion, the military organizations at all levels in Zhongshan County, maps have become the standard.
It's really certain!
Yuan Shao's army didn't come to fight Wuji County, what were you going to do there?
Guo Jia immediately fell into deep thought.
Lord!
Zhao Yun suddenly clenched his fists and said: "It must be in the upper reaches of the Hutuo River, and it is also the place where the Hutuo River flows the most. The subordinates suspected that Yuan Shao's visit must have something to do with this matter. ”
He is a real person, and he is more familiar with the situation over there.
Not good!
Frustrated Zhu's face changed greatly, and said, "He wants to flood Wuji County!" ”
In the era of cold weapons, there was a lack of weapons of mass destruction, so the good fighters made full use of the power of nature.
Flooding and burning has always been the most commonly used method in the era of cold weapons.
Guo Jia's face was solemn, and he also thought of this result.
If a dam is built upstream to store water, if the water level exceeds a certain height, it will cause a major flood. And Wuji County, which is downstream, will definitely bear the brunt.
Yuan Shao's army didn't need to show up at all, it only needed to build a dam upstream to store water and cause a flood, and after a few times, Wuji County would definitely be in the ocean.
Clever!
Shift from reactive to proactive.
As soon as he made a move, he went straight to the key point of Wuji County.
Guo Jia was shocked in his heart, he really underestimated this Yuan Shao.
It must really be taken down, otherwise it will be occupied by Yuan Shao, and Wuji County will become passive.
Unconsciously, the strategic focus of the two sides has shifted and has become a real battle.
In this way, Wuji County's urban defense advantage has disappeared.
Once Zhending fell into the hands of Yuan Shao, Guo Jia had no way but to abandon Wuji County and retreat to Lunu.
It must not fall into Yuan Shao's hands!
Thinking of this, Guo Jia immediately issued an order, ordering Zhao Yunqin to lead two thousand cavalry to gallop in the rain, and be sure to occupy Zhending before Yuan Shao.
Zhao Yun also knew that the situation was urgent, so he hugged his fists at the moment, got up and left.
After Zhao Yun's 2,000 cavalry left, Guo Jia's heart was a little calmer.
The cavalry is fast, and they will definitely be able to occupy Zhending before Yuan Shao.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion that Changshan Country also experienced, Zhending at this moment was already an empty city, and Zhao Yun's cavalry galloped all the way to occupy Zhending.
As long as Zhending is occupied, it will be a little difficult for Yuan Shao to build a dam upstream.
Although there are less than 2,000 cavalry, Guo Jia still has 6,000 cavalry in his hands, although it is not possible to defeat the enemy, but it is more than enough to defend the city, and the rainy day will eventually stop, once the rain stops, his artillery can come in handy.
As long as the artillery can be used, Yuan Shao's army will collapse.
……
Yuan Shao's army!
They left the giant deer to defeat Wuji, and now they have turned their ways to Zhending.
The march on a rainy day was a chore, and the soldiers, though they were all dressed in robes, were still drenched in the rain, but no one complained.
Because Yuan Shao is the same.
As the head coach, Yuan Shao is also like everyone else, let the wind and rain blow.
I have to say that Yuan Shao still has some talent for commanding troops, at least he can share weal and woe with the soldiers.
Time is victory, as long as they can occupy the upper reaches of the Hutuo River, they can build a dam to flood Wuji County within this flood season.
In this way, it is possible to obtain this city without spending a single soldier.
"My lord! From here, 300 miles north is Jiumen County. Jiumen County is the only way for Wuji to go to Zhending. Once Guo Jia learned that we were going to Zhending, he would definitely be able to guess our intentions. He will definitely send troops to seize Zhending. In order to be in a hurry, Guo Jia will most likely send light horses to fast forward. We can send a general to lead the cavalry to move into Jiumen County in advance, and wait for work, even if we can't completely annihilate Guo Jia's cavalry, we can stop their plan. ”
The man in black on the side whispered.
Yuan Shao was overjoyed.
"Clever plan, clever plan, with Mr. Strategizing here, Guo Jia will inevitably fail."
The general praised it falsely!
The black clothes just arched their hands.
"Those who do not have to plan for the enemy's first opportunity. Only by preemptively laying out can we have an advantage. Guo Jia's son is also an extraordinary person, and he has defeated the Yellow Turban thieves and the official army several times, and he must not be underestimated. ”
For Guo Jia, the man in black still did a lot of work.
Knowing oneself and knowing the other side can not be defeated in a hundred battles!
After understanding the habits of his opponents, he was able to prescribe the right medicine.
"Thank you, sir, for the reminder! You can rest assured, I, Yuan Shao, will not underestimate any opponent. ”
Yuan Shao also hugged his fists.
At this time, Yuan Shao was still a model young man with Corporal Lixian.
For this man in black, he has also been famous for a long time.
This time, Yuan Shao also wasted a lot of thought before asking him to help.
This person did not insult his reputation, and after coming to Yuan Shao's side, he made a series of clever plans to let Yuan Shao take the initiative.
"Wen Chou!"
Yuan Shao suddenly raised his voice.
"Ben will give you 3,000 cavalry and rush to Jiumen County overnight. There he waited for work and scattered Guo Jia's cavalry. ”
This time, Yuan Shao brought 5,000 cavalry and more than 20,000 infantry. In one breath, it was distributed to Wen Chou's 3,000 cavalry, which shows the importance attached to this raid.
Wen Chou's tall figure stood up.
Promise!
This was the first time he had led a soldier on his own.
Soldiers!
Yuan Shao shouted again: "Marching in the rain is a taboo for soldiers. I know you're cold, and I know you're tired. But ......"
He paused.
"I, Yuan Shao, will not let you suffer in vain, Zhending is in front of you, as long as we occupy Zhending first, Guo Jia is the turtle in the urn. After giving the order, speeding up the advance, and occupying Zhending, the general rewarded the three armies. ”
The general is mighty!
All the soldiers shouted in unison.
The march was even more rapid, and no one stopped.
As a result, Yuan Shao's army continued to advance, and the two sides were also racing against time, and whoever arrived at Zhending first had the initiative in this battle.
