Chapter 26 Planning
About five days later, Wang Wei, Lu Bu and others had already arrived at the border of Chang'an.
Chang'an, known as the western capital of the Han Dynasty, had a rich people and a large population – but this was before......
The current Chang'an, after experiencing Dong Zhuo and Li Dao Guo Yan's Huo Huo in a row, has become much worse than before.
Although the foundation is still there, the prosperity on the surface cannot hide the depression that goes deep into the bone marrow.
Just like this big Han River......
The army walked in the wilderness, and the cultivated land as far as the eye could see was barren, but what was not the case in this age of war and chaos?
Wang Wei, Lu Bu and others were also surprised.
On the one hand, Lu Bu carried Fang Tian's halberd and swaggered at the forefront, it was obvious that this return to Chang'an had an unusual meaning for Lu Bu - he returned as an avenger, ready to find Li Dao Guo Yan to be ashamed!
But Wang Wei, Chen Gong and others obviously didn't feel that there was any shame or shame in defeating the war - war is only a means, not an end, and Wang Wei and Chen Gong both knew the purpose of this war.
Snatch the Son of Heaven! Nothing else matters......
On the other side, Wang Wei, Man Chong, and Chen Gong gathered in a bunch, studying the map and discussing where to camp tonight.
"This place is nice, very close to the water source, although the terrain is a little open, but all things considered, it is the best choice."
Man Pet pointed to a location on the map that was quite far away from Chang'an City and said softly, Wang Wei and Chen Gong thought for a moment, and then they all nodded.
In ancient times, the water source was the most important, and the importance of the water source was even more important than the terrain and the like, although the slope of the place pointed out by Man Zhong was not enough, and there was no geographical advantage at all, but just relying on the water source, it was enough for Wang Wei to rule out all alternatives.
After determining the location of the camp, Man Zhong left with the terrain map, while Wang Wei and Chen Gong talked about another topic.
Without him, it is nothing more than the comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and us in this battle.
"Our general Wu division has the advantage, but the enemy has an advantage in troops, Feng Xian's frontal battle before departure is just a joke, now, General Wang should have some drafts, right?"
Hearing Chen Gong's words, Wang Wei shook his head slightly.
"Feng Xian's frontal battle strategy cannot be said to be a joke, this battle still has to be fought, no matter how many strategies there are, it is inevitable to fight with the enemy."
"Our cavalry is insufficient, and the courage of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is rare in the world, frontal combat, although our army will not have a disadvantage, but it will certainly not have any advantage, and the enemy has a military advisor named Jia Xu, planning and strategy are the best choice."
In such a summary, it seems that Wang Wei's side only has the advantage of "military general".
But the trouble is that in the battlefield of 140,000 against 150,000 troops, the general's personal strength advantage will be unlimitedly reduced!
This is also Wang Wei's confidence in his ability to be the Lord of Hosts...... Under normal circumstances, your own 4W cavalry, 10W infantry bow, and 150,000 elite cavalry on the opposite side - looking for death is not like this......
But now, Wang Wei has no apprehension in his heart, just looking at Chen Gong's expression, he doesn't seem to have any apprehension - they all have hole cards that they think can defeat the enemy.
And soon, Li Wei and Guo Yan gave Wang Wei and Chen Gong the opportunity to perform.
……
That night, the army had just set up camp, and before they could bury the pot and make food, Tanma had already come to report.
Li Dao and Guo Yan have already led the army and appeared hundreds of miles away from the camp!
The strategy of Li and Guo Yan "rushing at him" cannot be said to be unstrategic-Xiliang iron cavalry is good at fighting, and the cavalry is very good at frontal killing, on the contrary, the cavalry is not good at defending the city, although the city wall of Chang'an City is strong and the material reserves are sufficient, but in Wang Wei's opinion, if he is Li Guo and the two, it is a rational move to pull the soldiers out to fight in the field.
Standing on a gentle slope, Wang Wei held a telescope and observed the crowding enemy camp in the distance.
The enemies in sight, although they were disheveled, their hairstyles were messy, and they had a barbarian style, but they were all burly, imposing, and vicious in their eyes, even the war horses under their crotches were much taller and stronger than their own war horses.
Chen Gong's voice came from his ears.
"The good battle of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is the best in the world, and even better than the Bingzhou cavalry that is the first, on the one hand, it is the sinister environment of Xiliang, and the poor mountains and bad waters produce strong soldiers, on the other hand, it is also the gap between horses."
Wang Wei put down the binoculars and nodded unconsciously.
Once, Wang Wei also saw the scene of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry fighting, and coincidentally, that time the Xiliang Iron Cavalry faced Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others. At that time, Wang Wei saw the scene of cavalry hedging for the first time, and the bloody cruelty still makes Wang Wei remember it vividly.
If it was at the entry level, even if Wang Wei held the current number of soldiers and horses, he would not dare to be so presumptuous in front of Li Wei and Guo Yan, but now, with the improvement of Wang Wei's strength and the improvement of the quality of the soldiers under his command, Wang Wei didn't think that Li Wei and Guo Yan could still cause too much trouble to himself.
With the bonus of his commander value and aura, Wang Wei was convinced that the evil vanguard could withstand the impact of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
It's just a question of how much battle is lost......
And when it comes to battle damage...... Wang Wei's brain made up what would happen if it was a head-on confrontation, and couldn't help but shudder.
At present, he has 5w Evil Pioneer in his hand, and the professional talent of the Evil Pioneer: Rock Solid is very suitable for facing the impact of cavalry, even if the equipment of the Evil Pioneer is still not in place, Wang Wei does not think that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry can kill his main battle army.
But at the beginning of this plot, Wang Wei had 13w of soldiers and horses on hand, and after the battle with Liu Wei, there was still 5w left, if they were to face Li Dao Guo Yan's Xiliang cavalry, then after the Son of Heaven arrived, how many soldiers Wang Wei would have left, this is really up for debate.
At present, Cao Cao is no longer willing to ration himself with extra soldiers, and seeing that the soldiers cannot be replenished, Wang Wei has to make careful calculations.
If you really want to kill all the soldiers and horses in this mission, how will Wang Wei mix in the future?
This question is what Wang Wei is most entangled with now......
Thinking like this, Wang Wei turned his head to look at Chen Gong.
"I wonder what the gentleman has to do?"
As he spoke, Wang Wei handed the telescope in his hand to Chen Gong, who fiddled with the telescope for a moment, and then watched the movement of the enemy camp, and after a moment, a light laugh came out of his mouth.
"Early tomorrow morning, find a decisive battle between Li and Guo Yan, and the battle can be decided!"
Oh, Wang Wei didn't know this sure, but he didn't expect Chen Gong to look confident.
Probably sensing the doubt in Wang Wei's eyes, Chen Gong put down the binoculars and said with a smile.
"The general doesn't have to worry too much, I only ask the general one thing, if I can eliminate the momentum of the opponent's cavalry, what does the general think will the result of this battle?"
"I will win!"
Chen Gong shrugged.
"Exactly."
