Chapter 416: A Strategy to Break the Enemy
In fact, Lu Zhi's situation is quite embarrassing now, and he doesn't even dare to let the army get too close to Guangzong City, for fear that Zhang Jiaogou will jump off the wall in a hurry.
The Art of War: "Ten are encircled, five are attacked, and multiple is divided!" ”
Ten times the strength advantage to besiege the city, five times the strength advantage to launch an attack, and one time the strength advantage needs to divide and disintegrate the enemy army.
However, the current situation has turned around, the Yellow Turban Army has more than 10 million troops, turning Guangzong into a super barracks, while Lu Zhi only has more than 5 million in his hands, less than half of Zhang Jiao's.
Although the collapse of the Yellow Turban Army led to the ability of various prefectures and counties to support Lu Zhi, which caused Lu Zhi's strength to expand rapidly, the strength of the Northern Han Army was still far inferior to the Yellow Turban Army in terms of numbers.
In addition, the combat power of the county soldiers who came from all over the country was quite touching, and they were in the middle of the ordinary Yellow Turban miscellaneous soldiers, and Lu Zhi did not dare to give him a heavy task at all.
If time can continue, Lu Zhibu's troops may surpass Zhang Jiao, after all, in comparison, the depth of the Han Dynasty is far beyond Zhang Jiao's ability.
But Liu Hong can't wait!
He only saw the Yellow Turban Army defeated one after another in various places, and saw his army conquer one city after another, so he thought that the Yellow Turban Army was really declining, and he didn't consider the fact that the main force of the Yellow Turban Army still existed and the strength of Taiping Dao was still strong!
In addition, the northern and southern battlefields combined with tens of millions of troops to fight, the daily consumption of money and food is an astronomical amount, with Liu Hongcai's temperament, he naturally hopes to end the war as soon as possible.
Liu Hong had already issued three holy decrees in a row, urging Lu Zhi in the north and Huangfu Song in the south to eliminate the main force of the Yellow Turbans as soon as possible and quell the war.
Lu Zhi had no choice but to forge ahead to Guangzong.
There were still more than two hundred miles away from Guangzong City, and Lu Zhi really didn't dare to venture forward anymore, so he temporarily garrisoned his troops to seek a good way to break the enemy.
"All the gentlemen are heroes in the world, I don't know if there is a clever plan to help the general break the thief?"
In the big tent, in the face of Lu Zhi's inquiry, everyone was speechless.
There is no way to do it at all, don't think about attacking it, unless Liu Hongneng mobilizes twice the city-breaking dragon cannon and increases the ammunition by three or five times, there is hope to blast through the Guangzong city wall.
As for luring the enemy out of the city for a decisive battle, it is impossible under the current situation.
The Yellow Turban Army is bent on being a turtle with a shrunken head, no matter how provocative Lu Zhi is, he refuses to fight.
In fact, Shang Ji didn't understand Zhang Jiao's approach, Guangzong was the place of four battles, and there was no danger to defend before and after, although there was no luck, but the strength of the Yellow Turban Army was still strong, and there was no need to wait for death in Guangzong.
Although Lu Zhi will not be able to take Guangzong for a while, there is no doubt that with the current development of the situation, it will be a matter of time before the Yellow Turban Army is defeated, and only by breaking out of the shackles of Guangzong can there be a glimmer of life.
With Zhang Jiao's wisdom, there is no reason not to see this, but I don't know why he insists on going his own way.
"General, the last general thinks that at this time, the moth thief has become a trapped beast, we just need to surround it to prevent the moth thief from breaking through, after a long time, the moth thief has no food and grass, so he will naturally win without a fight!"
The one who spoke was a military general, with a national face, eyes and eyes, a loud and powerful voice, and a very good appearance.
This person's surname is Geng, his name is Wu, and his name is Wenwei, and he is the confidant of Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou, a historical general, and temporarily serves as the governor of Jizhou. Because of the large-scale rout of the Yellow Turban Army, Han Fu finally got rid of the dilemma of being hung and beaten, and was able to free up his hands to support Lu Zhi.
However, Jizhou was ruined, and Han Fu was busy cleaning up the rest of the troubles in various places, and the task of leading troops to support Lu Zhi was handed over to Geng Wu, and Geng Wu also brought a million Jizhou county soldiers. Although the number is huge, the combat strength is quite reluctant, and if they are placed in the open field, the 300,000 army of Shang Ji can easily defeat them.
And because Geng Wu came in a hurry, he didn't know much about the frontline and didn't know Lu Zhi's situation, so he put forward such a "reasonable" suggestion.
"Wenwei's plan is very good, but don't treat me at any time, and ask Wenwei to find another quick plan!" Lu Zhi waved his hand to signal Geng Wu to sit down, and then said with a wry smile.
"General......
Geng Wu's face was full of puzzlement, how could he be so impatient in the marching battle? The world-famous Lu Gong can't be so frivolous, right?
But before he could say anything, he saw a middle-aged scribe next to him gently tugging at the corner of his shirt and signaling him to shut up. Although Geng Wu was puzzled, he still sat down obediently.
Although this little action was hidden, it was discovered by Shang Ji, who had been paying attention to him!
The middle-aged scribe seemed to feel Shang Ji's gaze, and raised his head to meet Shang Ji's eyes. The scribe then gave Shang Ji a slightly embarrassed smile, and then quietly arched his hand, which was regarded as a greeting.
Shang Ji also smiled and bowed his hand in return.
If Geng Wu is an unknown person, then this scribe is a famous person!
This person's surname is frustrated, his name is conferred, and his character is public, he is an important adviser of Yuan Shao in history, and he is a proper S-level top historical strategist in the beacon fire!
Shang Ji, a top historical general, has also seen more than a dozen times before and after, but it is the first time that the top strategist has seen it, so he naturally pays more attention to it.
In addition, it should be noted that Fu Zhu is now under Han Fu, and it turns out that in history, with Han Fu joining Yuan Shao's camp after letting Jizhou, now the general trend of history has a tendency to collapse, and it is difficult to say whether the original scene will appear.
And Shang Ji is very interested in digging up the corner of Han Fu and intercepting Hu Yuan Shao, he has already intercepted a Zhang He, and it is not necessarily impossible to give one more frustration!
The frustration on the other side didn't know that Shang Ji was already beating his idea, although he had just come here like Geng Wu, but the frustration was naturally not comparable to Geng Wu's thoughts, through the reactions of everyone present, and in connection with the current situation, he guessed the cause and effect, and also understood Lu Zhi's difficulties.
However, for this situation, there is nothing to be done if you let your wits go against the sky.
After being silent for a while, Shang Ji hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "How about the water attack?" I heard that there is a river called the Zhanghe River nearby, I wonder if we can use the Qin general Wang Ben to break the beam? ”
Wang Ben, the son of Wang Qian, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, was ordered by the First Emperor to attack Wei in 225 BC. The situation Wang Ben faced at that time was almost exactly the same as it is now. Daliang, the capital of the Wei State, was the first male city in the world at that time, the city was high and thick, and there were 300,000 Wei troops stationed in the city, and it was almost impossible to win by storming.
And Wang Ben found another way, led the river ditch to irrigate the beam, replaced the army with water, and easily captured the city of the beam.
Wang Ben, as a Qin general of the same era as Shang Ji, naturally knew a lot about his proud battle.
"Yuewu's plan is feasible, but the volume of the Zhanghe River is small and cannot be compared with the big river, and it may not be enough to destroy Guangzong City!"
Lu Zhi pondered for a moment and said with some uncertainty.
"The last general suggests a soil attack, dig tunnels to the city, and break through from the inside!"
After coming, Ma Teng, who was in a state of soy sauce for a while, also took advantage of the situation to speak.
"General Shou Cheng's plan can be tried, and the last general suggests that we keep attacking on the surface, and use the sound of torch stone carts and city-breaking dragon cannons to cover up the sound of digging tunnels, and make a plan to attack the east and west!"
Liu Bei pondered for a moment, and also suggested out loud.
"We can also use fire to attack, the barracks in Guangzong City are now crowded and crowded, and flammable substances such as fire oil are thrown with torch stone carts, so we don't have to worry about moths and thieves not surrendering!"
Even Lu Bu expressed his opinion.
For a while, everyone spoke enthusiastically, and the big tent was not lively.
However, hearing that the audience would actively offer advice, Lu Zhi's face did not improve significantly, and the frustrated professor next to him also frowned all the time, not shaking his head slightly and sighing, and his clothes looked worried.
