Chapter 380 Wen Zhong enters Nanping, the first appearance of the military god
"My lord, Dongyi has been defeated. At this time, the strength of our army is less than half. Liang thought that he could seize the Nine Fortresses and celebrate at the border, forcing Dongyi to divide his troops!" Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan.
Not to mention that Dongyi's military strength was less than half of Wang Yu and Zhendong Army's strength, it was even much less than half, and a little more than one-third of their total strength.
In this battle, although the Zhendong Army also lost 30,000 troops, it replaced the opponent's 140,000 troops, which directly opened a gap in the strength of the two sides.
Moreover, Wang Yu's soldiers and horses are about to enter the battlefield. Even excluding the 40,000 soldiers and horses who were divided into Nanping Road, Wang Yu still has 110,000 soldiers and horses under his command.
Yes, Wang Yu now has 110,000 troops and horses under his command, not just 80,000 troops.
As for where the remaining 30,000 troops and horses came from, of course they were Dongyi's troops.
When Xue Rengui made a surprise attack on Jinchuan City, he captured a lot of prisoners. Of course, these people had to be used.
These prisoners are definitely not willing to surrender to the Zhendong Army to attack Dongyi, and they will use their knives to help the Zhendong Army as outsiders to point at their compatriots. However, these prisoners are not surrendering to the Zhendong Army now, let alone Wang Yu, but to
The newly established Dongyi small court.
Their participation in the war was not to help Wang Yu and the Zhendong Army attack their compatriots, but to accompany the reinforcements invited by their Majesty to quell the civil strife within Dongyi.
Wang Yu's efforts in setting up such a small Dongyi court are of course of great use. These 30,000 Dongyi troops are the initial manifestation of the value of this small Dongyi court. Moreover, it is only a preliminary manifestation.
"The land of Jiubao is suspected of attacking Zhongping Road, and the land of Bianqing has the opportunity to respond to Nanping Road. Dongyi has no choice but to support these two places!"
"Kong Ming's plan hits Dongyi's weakness directly, I can't do it any better!" Yao Guangxiao seemed to be truly convinced.
Zhuge Liang's strategy is not complicated, it is just a simple division of troops, but sometimes the simpler the strategy, the more efficient and effective it is.
It is precisely because Wang Yu's side has enough troops that after this battle, the gap between them and Yelu Abaoji and Yelu'an has been widened, and they have enough confidence to divide their forces.
If they divide their forces, will Yelu Abaoji and Yelu An also divide their forces to fight against them? If the other side does not divide their forces to fight, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving up these territories to Wang Yu in vain?
But how could Dongyi find the confidence to divide his troops?
After Yelu Defei sent out ten or twenty thousand reinforcements, he was completely hunkered down and motionless, especially when the Zhendong Navy began to take action.
Although Yelu Abaoji used half of his troops in this battle, he still had half of his troops in hand, but his half of the troops still needed to defend Beiping Road, Dongping Road and the small half of Zhongping Road. Such a large territory, if left,
If there are fewer troops, how can it be defended? If too many troops are mobilized, the former capital of Dongyi Kingdom will serve as a lesson for them!
Next, after all, Dongyi is still bordering Beidi. Although Beidi itself has begun to fall into chaos, it can appropriately weaken the defense against Beidi, but it does not mean that it can completely weaken the defense against Beidi.
With the troops currently available to Yelu Abaoji and Yelu An, once they divide their forces, the enemy Wang Dangzhi faces will be increasingly weakened, and it will naturally be easier to further open up the situation.
As for some people who say that if Wang Yu divides his troops, Yelu Abaoji and Yelu An may divide his troops and defeat him. However, how can splitting and defeating them be just talk?
First of all, the division of troops is only to separate two partial divisions, which will never affect Wang Dangzhi's strength!
Secondly, it can be divided and broken, which means that the ability of the opponent's commander must be at least one level higher than the ability of his own commander. Otherwise, how could he easily pull his side to fight? However, Yelu Abao
Can a machine do this?
Thirdly, to divide and defeat them, the opponent must be fast enough and be able to concentrate their forces to defeat all the soldiers and horses before Wang Yu reacts. As a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural civilization, Dongyi does not have the strength of cavalry.
Bad, but the Zhendong Army also made its fortune in cavalry, can it really be so much faster than others?
Of course, it cannot be said that there is really no risk in doing so! But is there a guarantee of a war? How can it be possible without taking any risk? How can one not dare to act because of such a small risk?
"Coordinate Nanping Road!" After hearing these words, Wang Yu began to think about it secretly.
As for advancing towards the Zhongping Road, Wang Yu didn't think much about it. It was okay to send out partial troops to force the opponent to divide their troops, but if they really attacked the Zhongping Road, Yelu Abaoji would have really fought hard, and Yelu Defei couldn't be like that.
Now it continues to be huddled in Nanping Road.
Although Yelu Defei's recent performance has some suspicions of sacrificing his own life in big situations, the more he is like this, the more fierce his counterattack will be once you touch his bottom line.
Before the entire Xiping Road is completely captured, it is still not appropriate to make such extraneous matters.
It was these words of "coordinating Nanping Road" that made Wang Yu really take notice. You must know that Li Jingke, who he repaid his high hopes in return, was among the side troops along the way.
"How is the battle going with Wen Zhong!" After thinking of this, Wang Yu couldn't help but ask.
With Li Jing's capital, it is of course impossible for him to become the commander-in-chief of the army. As a newbie, he was promoted as a side-general because of his special promotion. It is impossible for him to directly put pressure on so many generals.
If you were a general, loyal and loyal, and had worked hard and accomplished all the dirty work for many years, but a newcomer who had only been here for a few days was weighing on your head. If it were you, would you feel comfortable?
?
Therefore, Wen Zhong was the commander-in-chief of the side forces along the way, and Li Jing was just a general under Wen Zhong. In fact, if Wang Yu hadn't given him a few words of care, he would have been just an ordinary, inconspicuous general.
"My lord, the navy of Dongyi Nanping is timid in fighting. I heard that General attacked in the rain. Forty thousand soldiers and horses have entered Nanping!"
Wang Yu's previous experience in Dongyi made everyone in Dongyi very disappointed with their navy, and many people even proposed to reduce their annual investment in the navy.
However, Dongyi soon fell into the Eight Kings Rebellion, and Yelu Defei, who finally occupied Nanping Road, was quite disappointed with the previous performance of the Nanping Navy, but he still had to reorganize the Nanping Navy. After all,
, Nanping Road, which has a large coastline, had to form a navy.
However, the former Nanping Navy was about to be destroyed by Wang Yu, let alone the new Nanping Navy, which had just been formed and was far inferior to the Nanping Navy at its peak in all aspects.
