Chapter 630: Heading North to Dragon City
Yes, Zilong is right. Manchester City is closer to us, and it is enough to rush to Manchester City before Kobi can return to the division, but what about after that? ”
Facing Shang Ji's rhetorical question, Zhao Yun was speechless for a while.
Tou Manchester City is a royal city, although it is not watery, many places are not as good as the giant cities of Han land, but no matter how much water it is, it is also a royal city! At least the walls of the royal city are there!
With the current siege capability of the Pingzhou Army, it does not mean that it will not be able to capture Manchester City, but at least it is impossible to capture it in a short period of time.
As long as Toumancheng can hold out for five days under the attack of the Pingzhou army, it will be enough for the Kebineng army to come back to help.
At that time, it will be forced to have a decisive battle with Kebineng in the hinterland of Xianbei, and the Xianbei army can cooperate with the outside, and the Pingzhou army will lose its geographical advantage first, and you will do things in the Xianbei territory, and people and nature will be gone.
If the scum of Xianbei in the east can muster up the courage and lead the troops to flank the Pingzhou army, then the Pingzhou army is likely to fall into an unfavorable situation of being attacked by the enemy.
In such a big battle, even if it is won, it will be a miserable victory, and it is not in the interests of Pingzhou. To put it mildly, if the Pingzhou army really suffered heavy losses on the grassland, it is difficult to guarantee that Gongsun Zhan and Ding Yuan will not have any crooked thoughts.
"With Kebineng's mind, it is impossible not to see the threat we have to Manchester City, at this time, Manchester City must have been under martial law in the whole city, and even a large number of Xianbei people near Manchester City are migrating to the city. Although it is not the main elite of the Kebi Neng Department who stays behind to guard Manchester City, but with the advantage of the city, it is more than enough for ordinary soldiers to defend the city! Unless our siege strength is increased tenfold, it is impossible to capture Toumancheng in a short period of time! ”
"But Dragon City is also a city at the level of a royal city, and it is even more difficult to fight than Touman City!"
In the gap between everyone's silence, Dian Wei said angrily.
"It's different!" Liu Yi sighed and shook his head.
"It's really different!"
Huang Zhong also said in a low voice.
"What, what's different?" Dian Wei clasped his head with his thick fingers and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Let's talk about this below!"
Chen Guan coughed lightly, got up and said, "Dragon City has very important political significance among Xianbei, and its status is comparable to that of the Great Han Dynasty. The status of the successive grassland rulers will only be recognized after the Dragon City held a ceremony to worship the heavens. However, under normal circumstances, the garrison in Dragon City is not strong. ”
"In this case, the first point is that Dragon City is too far away, and it is in the hinterland of Xianbei. Even if it is completely undefended, few armies can reach Dragon City all the way. In the territory of Xianbei, Dragon City is the rear of the Xianbei people, and the garrison is very lax.
Secondly, the special political ecology of the grassland determines that there is no strong military force in Dragon City. According to the consistent rules of the grassland, whoever wins the war for hegemony will be able to enter Dragon City. In the absence of a steppe overlord, there were only a small number of troops in Dragon City who were responsible for daily maintenance. And once there is a steppe overlord, the army here will all be replaced. During the period of no unified leadership, Longcheng also needs to assume the duties of war mediator and referee, and any Xianbei forces that invade Longcheng for no reason will be attacked by a group.
Last but not least. The Xianbei Shamanism responsible for guarding the Dragon City has fully fallen to Kebineng, and the high-level shamans and elite guardians in the Shamanism have all gone south to surround the Ten Thousand Cities, and now the defenses in the Dragon City are very empty! For us, the biggest difficulty in the surprise attack on Dragon City is not how difficult it is to fight, but how far the road is! ”
"According to the news from Thousand Illusions, there is no tension in Dragon City before the big war is coming, if we can secretly raid around Dragon City, there is a great possibility that Dragon City will be captured in one fell swoop."
"Yes, what Bai Shou said is good, and more importantly, Longcheng has a strong political significance in Xianbei, once Longcheng falls, it will be a very big blow to Xianbei's military morale. It is estimated that at that time, the scum of Xianbei in the east did not dare to bargain with us at all, and the prospect caused by the soldiers was invincible. ”
Shang Ji clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention, and said loudly.
"But my lord, Longcheng has been going thousands of miles here, and there are countless Xianbei tribes along the way. Even though the grassland area is very vast, it is impossible to really cross the border quietly! Once the Xianbei people perceived the movement of our army in advance, and Longcheng strengthened its vigilance, our army not only returned in vain, but may even be defeated because of the lone army! ”
Zhang He, who had always been more cautious, still raised objections, and as soon as his words fell, he immediately attracted the support of many conservative generals.
"Therefore, there are two difficulties in this battle, which are secrecy and speed!"
As soon as Shang Ji's voice fell, Guo Jia, who had been the first to be a good baby under the drama Zhicai, also got up with a smile and said: "The student is not talented, I am willing to help the general!" ”
Hearing this, Xi Zhicai glanced at Guo Jia, nodded slightly, and arched his hand: "With the ability of filial piety, with the cooperation of his subordinates and Brother Hongzhu, he should be able to cover the trajectory of the army." ”
"Lord, the Flying Phoenix Fire Rider can be used as a reconnaissance work, all-weather all-round reconnaissance without dead ends, you can avoid the large Xianbei tribes in advance, and the scattered small tribes can also be cleaned in advance to ensure the concealment of the army's march!"
After crazy expansion at any cost, the Flying Phoenix Fire Cavalry led by Su Huan has expanded to a full 3,000 people, and the long-range strategic attack is still not successful, but there is no problem in being responsible for clearing the way for the legion's reconnaissance.
"If necessary, we can march day and night to strengthen the concealment of the army. The last general is not talented, and it is no problem to lead the army at night! ”
Liu Yi, who had been silent for a long time, also spoke, seemingly in favor of Shang Ji's surprise attack plan.
"The last general can lead the greedy wolf cavalry as the vanguard of the army, even if it is accidentally discovered by the Xianbei people, he can also pretend to be a wolf cavalry, and the average Xianbei person can not tell the difference between the wolf cavalry and the greedy wolf cavalry." Liu Meng opened his mouth and said.
"If we have all the high-level cavalry, we should be able to shorten the time from here to Dragon City in less than half a month. Even if he is discovered by accident, he can retreat smoothly before Xianbei reacts. With the elite cavalry combat power of Pingzhou, unless Kebi can personally lead the main elite to intercept, it is impossible to stop the retreat of the Pingzhou army. The most serious consequence of failure is nothing more than wasting some time and food, and it is worth trying! ”
Zhao Yun was also persuaded by everyone to change his stance and began to support the plan to attack Dragon City instead.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Dragon City is the capital of the nomads of all dynasties, and the wealth accumulated over the past few hundred years is an astronomical amount, if we can successfully occupy Dragon City, next year's Pingzhou military spending can directly quadruple!"
Well, as Shang Ji said this, even the staunchest opponent Zhang He shut up.
Longcheng is theoretically the same level as Luoyang, not to seek Longcheng to be as rich as Luoyang, but as long as there is one-tenth or even one-fiftieth of Luoyang's wealth, it is enough to make Pingzhou rich overnight.
In the face of huge interests, this small risk can be completely ignored!
Driven by huge interests, the Pingzhou army was looking forward to the surprise attack on Dragon City. Under the planning of a group of top generals and three top scribes, the surprise attack plan was successfully released.
First of all, agree to the surrender application of the Eastern Xianbei, but keep arguing with it, so as to paralyze the Eastern Xianbei.
Secondly, the troops that did not participate in the surprise attack slowly moved in the direction of Tou Manchester City, creating the illusion that the whole army was attacking Tou Manchester City, forcing Kobi to concentrate on the direction of Tou Manchester City. Of course, in order not to fall into the embarrassment of being attacked from the front and rear, it is enough to make an offensive posture, even if you can fight with Kebi, you have to wait for work, and try to eliminate the combat effectiveness of Kebi Neng's army as much as possible.
Again, contact Lu Bu and ask him to be sure to hold Bu Dugen back, and not let Bu Dugen have the ability to support Dragon City. This is not difficult, with Lu Bu's strength to deal with Budugen, who only has one breath left, it is basically a simple man-machine level.
Finally, on the way to Dragon City, arrange secret agents to closely monitor the Xianbei people's every move, and report any accidents as soon as they occur.
In addition to these confusing arrangements, the most important point is the choice of the raiding army.
Because of the need to ensure secrecy and mobility, the number of troops sent will definitely not be particularly large. Quality is particularly important when quantity is limited. Expedition of 20,000 miles, if the combat effectiveness is not strong to deliver food to others, it will become a joke.
In addition, the raid is the most time-sensitive, which also requires the dispatched army to be very mobile.
The expeditionary surprise attack army that was finally selected included 100,000 Black Armor Xuan Cavalry, 50,000 Silver Dragon Iron Cavalry, 50,000 Sun Cavalry, 50,000 Greedy Wolf Cavalry, 20,000 Ghost Cavalry, 10,000 Bloodthirsty Tiger Cavalry, 3,000 Flying Phoenix Fire Cavalry, and 300 Evil God Guards
Except for the ghost ghost ride, the other lowest are all ground-level special troops, and their combat power is naturally undoubted.
The generals who went out on the expedition included Shang Ji himself, Liu Yi, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Liu Meng, Guo Biao, Dian Wei, Su Huan, and Chen Guan, Xi Zhicai, and Guo Jia, three top scribes. Finally, there is a special person - Pingzhou's chief magic advisor, the necromancer Archmage Payne Makat.
Shang Ji has made up his mind, and once the situation changes, he will fully support Payne in the Sea of the Undead. Shang Ji even deliberately made some plague pills before leaving, in order to be a last resort.
The plague and the sea of skulls are unimaginably sour.
As for the rest of the army, Shang Ji planned to hand it over to Zhang He for the time being.
Most of the elite cavalry units have been transferred, and only Qin Ping's Yan Zhihu Cavalry and Xu Huang's Split Axe Cavalry have not moved. In this way, it will definitely be more passive to fight Xianbei on the grassland.
Although Zhang He's individual combat strength ranks relatively low in Pingzhou, he has a deep knowledge of the command ability of large-scale corps, especially in infantry defense. In fact, Xu Huang's ability to command troops is also good, but his qualifications are too shallow, and he is not enough to serve the public. Even Huang Zhong is the same.
With Zhang He as the main commander, Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, and Lu Kuang as deputy generals, and a large number of A-level title generals, it is enough to ensure that even if Kebi can return to the division, he will not fall behind in the head-on confrontation.
After making a detailed plan, heavy fog fell that night, taking advantage of the night and fog, Shang Ji led nearly 300,000 of the most elite cavalry troops in Pingzhou and quietly left the camp of the army. ntent
