Chapter 2160 impossible to advance too fast
Wu Tu's bones were taken out.
Huang Zhong asked Cao Shu: "Lord, did Wu Tugu agree or didn't agree?"
"What do you think?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly and asked him.
"I didn't understand." Huang Zhong replied: "He didn't say he was willing or refused, so the lord asked him to rest first..."
"The barbarians are different from us." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "These cave masters, the kings of the country, are attached to Meng Huo, but because their strength is not as strong as him. If they are stronger than Meng Huo, how could they be willing to obey the expedition? It is just a subordinate maintained by strength. Once the strength changes, how long can they be stable?"
Huang Zhong suddenly realized: "No wonder I seemed to hesitate when I saw Wu Tu Gu just now."
"He hesitated because he was not sure whether Zhurong could destroy Meng Huo." Cao Shuo said: "Once the Southern Barbarians change, if I don't need to recruit him, he will come and vote for me."
After analyzing these, Cao Shu then asked Huang Zhong: "When will Han Sheng return to Boyue?"
"I just sent Wu Tu Gu back and will go back tomorrow morning." Huang Zhong replied.
"Boye is not too anxious to hire people. You can live in Jiaozhi for more days." Cao Shuo said: "It's not too late to go when he returns to Zhurong's territory."
"The lord believes that Jiang Boyue cannot defeat Meng Huo?" Huang Zhong asked.
"Of course not." Cao Shuo said: "It's just not possible this time."
Huang Zhong looked at Cao Shu in confusion, as if he wanted to find the answer in his face.
Cao Shuo explained: "Jiang Boyue was not prepared enough. He only brought landmines and all the cannons were left in Zhurong. Without cannons, he would not have much advantage. Do you think that with the little men he brought, can Meng Huo be able to be defeated?"
Huang Zhong frowned without saying a word.
Before Jiang Wei went to war, he always followed him, and knew that there were no cannons in the army, only a few landmines.
Although landmines can catch the enemy off guard, they are not enough to determine the entire battle situation.
Meng Huo used only one-tenth of the power he could use.
The war to march into the wilderness has only just begun.
"Stay Hansheng here for more days, and there is actually one thing you need to do later." Cao Shuo said: "The battle against Meng Huo is still behind. I plan to ask Hansheng to send me some cannons and mines to Zhurong."
"How much does the lord plan to send it?" Huang Zhong asked.
"Give her twenty more cannons." Cao Shuo said: "As for landmines, we'll allocate another five thousand."
"So many allocated?" Huang Zhong looked at Cao Shu in surprise: "There is no need to attack Meng Huo so many mines and cannons. Did the lord give too much?"
"I really don't think it's too much." Cao Shu shook his head: "Huo Wu sent news earlier that Bo Yue was fighting with Yang Feng, and the military strength of both sides was equal, so he advanced very slowly. Although Yang Feng had a lot of men, he did not have real elites. Bo's date was so difficult, it was simply because the terrain was not familiar with, the number of people was not advantageous, and he did not carry a cannon that could destroy the will of the barbarians."
After listening to Cao Shu's analysis, Huang Zhong did not ask any more questions.
Twenty cannons may not be too many for the Wei army, but they were given to the barbarians as a group of killing weapons that were enough to determine success or failure.
Including the ten pieces Zhu Rong had, when all the thirty cannons were sent to the battlefield, even if Meng Huo had many barbarians, he could not resist the cannons to destroy their morale.
When Huang Zhong sent Wutugu to Jiaozhi, Jiang Wei led his troops to confront Yang Feng.
The two sides have started wars several times in recent days, and Yang Feng has not won even a single battle.
Whether he launches an offense or passive defense, Jiang Wei will always win in the end.
After repeated defeats, Yang Feng was in a very depressed mood.
However, Jiang Wei, who has won many times, is not necessarily in much better mood than him.
Although he will win every battle, Jiang Wei's advancement is very slow, which is incomparable to the earlier battle to defeat Wu Tugu.
Sitting in the tent, Jiang Wei invited Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, the cave owner and several other cave owners to come over.
His eyes swept around everyone's faces and he said, "Since Yang Feng blocked our path, we have been advancing extremely slowly, and we have only taken down two villages now."
When Jiang Wei spoke, everyone's eyes were also focused on his face.
After experiencing the battle to defeat Wu Tu Gu, everyone has also become accustomed to the efficiency of quickly breaking the enemy.
Although they have won many battles in recent days, their progress has indeed slowed down so much that everyone is anxious.
"I want to ask you, do you understand why our army has been advancing so slowly?" Everyone said nothing, and Jiang Wei asked them.
"I have fought with them twice in the past few days. Every time they pursue, they will have a backup plan." Xiahou Dun said: "The people who fought with us fled, but there are still defenses behind us. We have no way to concentrate our efforts to completely defeat their defense."
"I have the same feeling," Xiahou Yuan also said with his brow locked: "Yang Feng seems to have deliberately put forward such a formation to delay us here."
Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan expressed their feelings one after another, and brought the cave master and others to agree.
After hearing this, Jiang Wei nodded and said, "I probably understand what he meant. He wanted to drag us here and eventually exhaust us. When we came here, the front line was already dragging too long. When the military rations were consumed, it was time for them to fight back."
"What should I do?" The master of the cave brought to the cave and heard what he said, and hurriedly asked, "Are you really going to drag and waste time with them here?"
"Dragging is not a solution." Jiang Wei smiled coldly: "It's time for us to go back."
"Yang Feng is staring at us, how can he go back?" said the master of the cave, "Once we turn around, he will immediately chase him."
"If we withdraw, he will indeed catch up." Jiang Wei said: "If we fight him so many times, even if we retreat, we must have a decent victory."
He asked the Lord of the Cave, "How many mines are left?"
"There are still many left. I fought with Wutugu last time, but I used three or four hundred pieces." The master of the cave replied.
"Then let Yang Feng taste the taste of landmines." Jiang Wei said to everyone: "The warriors are ordered to be prepared to withdraw. In addition, arrange personnel to lay mines behind the army. Once we retreat, Yang Feng will definitely catch up. When they enter the minefield, we will turn around and kill the previous game. Although it is unlikely that he will completely defeat him, it will at least make him remember this battle."
Jiang Wei expressed his plan, and everyone stood up and agreed.
