Chapter 822: Return to the army to rescue
"Enemy attack! Enemy Attack 1
"A brigade of cavalry is rushing into the city, run.1
"Youzhou assault cavalry siege city, those who resist die, and those who go out die1
"Boom Boom Boom Boom 1
In the sound of rolling hooves, among all kinds of shouts, the sound of the Youzhou Assault Cavalry attacking the city was shouted neatly, as if it was a notice of death, a declaration of the dead!
The people in the city who originally wanted to go out to fight the enemy were suddenly stunned, hiding behind the door, listening to the roaring hooves galloping back and forth in the city, and from time to time there were screams and howls, and the warm air began to be filled with a thick bloody atmosphere, so that the courage they had just mustered up quietly slipped down.
This is the army of General Pingbei, who is known as the god of the Han army, can he really compete with them? Besides, Yuan Shao's troops are not their children, except for collecting more taxes, Yuan Shao did not bring them any changes, therefore, most of the militia retreated, and a small number of them were more stunned, as soon as they went out, they were knocked away by the galloping war horses, or cut off their heads by a jet-black war knife, looking at this cruel scene, the people who had never experienced this kind of scene were frightened and cried loudly, or collapsed to the ground in gaffe.
The defenders of the city were attacked in a completely unprepared state. The command system in the city was paralyzed for the first time, the city was not a hot spot in the first place, and naturally there were not many players, after a few good things players were killed, other players went out of the city very interestingly, waiting for the war to end, or simply stayed in the inn and didn't come out, and there was nothing.
The defenders, who had completely lost their command, had to follow instinct and their companions, and hurriedly fled through the east and north gates, of course. Ximen also has it, anyway, he grabbed the door and fled, and Fang Zhiwen didn't chase after him. Instead, they closed the gates of the city and searched the city for the remnants of the soldiers, most of whom obediently surrendered.
The chaotic city was disturbed until dawn, and finally quieted down, and then under the custody of Fang Zhiwen's troops, these prisoners began to slowly clean up the battle, but the city was still under martial law, and the city gate was also closed. Until the sun rose high, a large group of cavalry appeared outside the city, this is Zhen Xiang came back, the reason why he came back so slowly was because he was still pressing tens of thousands of prisoners, this small city with 30,000 people defended by 2,000 people was easily broken by 2,000 people, it was really because the guy defending the city was too careless.
Originally, Fang Zhiwen just planned to besiege Xiao County and mobilize Gao Lan's mobile troops to come back. Then eat this mobile force of 20,000 people halfway, who knew that when I came to Xiao County, the enemy army was so lax, it was better to take Xiao County directly, threaten Gao Ran from the flank, and force Gao Ran to take the initiative to retreat.
Fang Zhiwen then began to use his post-takeover authority to issue decrees announcing that the city was formally incorporated into Peng's administration. All the original decrees of Yuan Shao were abolished, and the system of decrees in Xuzhou was implemented instead, and the residents and grassroots officials in the city were called on to return to normal life and management order.
Then, after the captives had eaten, they began to maintain the city defenses. Fang Zhiwen checked the treasury and found that he had made a lot of money, Gao Ran had stored a large amount of grain and grass here, and now it was all received by Fang Zhiwen intact, this time Gao Ran couldn't think of withdrawing the army.
In the afternoon, the Inhuman troops who had been following Fang Zhiwen to fight finally followed, but they didn't expect that Fang Zhiwen had easily taken Xiao County, and after asking around in surprise, he learned that the opponent's laxity made Fang Zhiwen pick up a big bargain.
Later, Fang Zhiwen issued a large number of tasks in Xiao County, making full use of the players to consolidate Xiao County's city defense, and he led the team out of Xiao County, wandering around the periphery, on the one hand, driving the surrounding villages and towns to Xiao County, and on the other hand, preparing to attack the mobile troops of Gao Lan who came to support.
However, Fang Zhiwen still looked at Gao Lan's courage, Gao Ran was furious after receiving the news of Xiao County's loss, and cut off a few of the guards who fled back, after repeated thinking and weighing, Gao Ran asked Yuan Shao to retreat, end the campaign to attack Peng Guo in the south, and hold Liuxian, and exchange Liuxian for Xiao County, which is an acceptable situation, because Liuxian is very close to Pei County, which can be said to be the gateway of Pei County, on the contrary, Xiao County is very close to Pengcheng, easy to attack and difficult to defend.
More than 200 miles west of Hu County, there is a small town called Wei Town, now Guo Jia and Yue Xi's troops are here, and use this as a base to support the player troops to search around, but now the people and big households of Qian County are also proficient, like Xuzhou, they have fled into the big city, Yue Xi's troops are full of 20,000 people, it is impossible to capture those cities, of course, a small city like Huzhen is naturally not a problem.
It's just that as the surrounding walls become clearer, Guo Jia and Yuexi's space for activity is getting smaller and smaller, and it's almost time to retreat.
Yuexi's headquarters is not set up in the city, but outside the city, a small city of this size is not only difficult to defend but will also seriously limit the combat power of the Yuexi cavalry, so it is better not to enter the city.
"Master Strategist"
"General Yue, it's okay to call me a military division, and the adults will be exempted."
Guo Jia was holding a small gourd in his hand, but it was not filled with wine, but ginseng dew, when Guo Jia came to the Yuexi camp, Fang Zhiwen specially explained to Yuexi, if he found that Guo Jia had drunk alcohol, he would engage in Yuexi's military law, Guo Jia couldn't, and it was not good to involve Yuexi, so he had to endure it.
"Hehe, well, Guo Junshi, why did the main guild break away from Cao Jun and go north? Aren't you worried that Cao Cao will suddenly turn around and storm to take worry? ”
"Well, you can't look at war purely from the perspective of war, war has a purpose. Cao Cao launched the Xuzhou campaign, its fundamental purpose is to solve the problem of grain and grass, now that Cao Cao's problem of grain and grass has been solved, why should he attack Xuzhou again, at this time to attack Xuzhou, there will be some gains that outweigh the losses. ”
Yue Xi blinked, Guo Jia had explained to him what Cao Cao was doing now, so Yue Xi knew what Guo Jia meant when he said that Cao Cao had solved the problem of grain and grass, but in Yue Xi's opinion, from a military point of view. Cao Cao took the initiative to attack and mobilize the troops of the lord to return for reinforcements, which was in line with military interests.
"Besides, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have a grudge, why bother to help Yuan Shao, if Cao Cao attacks at this time, the lord goes south to relieve the siege of worry, Yuan Shao takes the opportunity to take back Xiao County and even capture Pengcheng, which has no practical benefit for Cao Cao, because Yuan Shao even takes Pengcheng. There will be no more spare strength to go south, and it will even be besieged from all sides because the stalls are too large. It is simply impossible to form continuous pressure on Xuzhou, which means that this teammate is basically a waste, purely here to pick up cheap. ”
Yue Xi nodded seriously, indicating that he had been taught, his humble attitude was indeed very likable, no wonder he could become a general of an independent army at a young age.
"What about us, shouldn't it be time to retreat in time?"
"Basically, we can retreat, but the enemy may not let us go back easily."
"Huh? Does the military advisor mean that Xiahoudun will ambush us? ”
"The position of our army has now been revealed. And this place is located between Sucheng and Huxian, if Cao Cao easily let go of this opportunity, I am afraid it is unlikely, therefore, Cao Cao should be setting a trap now, wanting to put us in. ”
Yue Xi turned his head seriously to look at the map hanging on one side, his eyes roaming back and forth on the map. Then he nodded.
"Indeed, if Xiahoudun cooperates with Cao Cao, we can block the road to the east where we retreat, after all, the river here can still be fully utilized to restrict our course of action."
"Hmm. Their first attempt is likely to be to block us along the river, forcing us to make a detour to the southwest or northwest, consuming our food and equipment, and finally encircling us after our mobility has decreased. ”
"Then we must hurry up and cross the river at night, otherwise the route to the east will be blocked, and it is really possible to form the situation that the military division said, and our army's current grain and grass can only last for five days."
Guo Jia smiled weirdly, shook his hand and said:
"Who said that? Our grain and grass can last at least ten days, so we can completely plan and trap a part of Cao's army. Besides, it may be a little late to cross the river at night, if you really want to run, you have to run south, and then cooperate with General Huang Zhong to find a way to annihilate Xiahou Yuan's troops. ”
Yue Xi blinked, thought about it carefully, and then suddenly realized where the grain and grass for the ten days that the military advisor said came from.
"Strategist, then we will return east tomorrow according to their expectations, and then attack on the river bank to retreat?"
"No, that's too obvious, let's turn south tonight, let Xiahoudun come and intercept us, and at the same time avoid Cao Cao's troops for the time being."
"South, isn't it more difficult to cross the Huaishui in the south?"
Guo Jia's eyes widened: "Who said that we are going to cross the Huaishui, in fact, we won't be able to pass by then, and Xiahou Yuan won't be able to come too." ”
"However, Xiahoudun and Xu Chu's troops can crush us on the edge of Huaishui, so won't our mobility be lost?"
"Hehe, they will definitely think the same way, so our plan will be done."
"Strategy?"
"Yes, stratagem! This time I still want to make Xiahou Yuan suffer a big loss, this guy is unlucky every time he touches our Miyun Army, I don't know if he hit the crime 1
Guo Jia smiled proudly, raised the small gourd and took a sip, and exhaled with satisfaction.
Yue Xi looked at Guo Jia in puzzlement, and saw that Guo Jia didn't want to explain at all, and he was angry, but he had no choice but to go back and study the map again, wanting to find clues about Guo Jia's strategy from Guo Jia's previous layout and analysis, but Yue Xi thought about it, and still couldn't see any tricks here, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like he was being chased by others like a desperate lost dog!
How can we turn defeat into victory and strike at the enemy army with all the calculations?
