Chapter 1166: Build the plank road openly, secretly attack Chencang
It doesn't matter if an elite battalion with only a few hundred people is trapped in the camp. However, the Golden Fire Cavalry with a strength of 5,000 and the Black Cavalry with a strength of 25,000 must be regarded as legions by these two troops.
!
Even if there are hundreds of people trapped in a camp, if used at critical times and locations, it can be a powerful force.
Not to mention the thousands of Golden Fire Cavalry, or even the tens of thousands of Black Cavalry, the mere appearance of elite soldiers and horses of this size is a deterrent.
They don't need elite soldiers and horses of this size to be used at critical times and key locations like the trapped camp. As soon as they appear, they already have the power to directly affect the situation of the battle.
At least, although the size of the Black Cavalry is only half that of the Feiyu Legion, one of the five major field armies, its combat capabilities are definitely not inferior to the entire Feiyu Legion. Even if it is in plain terrain, the Black Cavalry's
The combat capability is not inferior to that of any main army.
Of course, not all of the 25,000 black cavalry participated in the battle to conquer the south.
The Black Cavalry did initially have an establishment of 30,000 soldiers and horses, divided into three groups, each with 10,000 troops.
However, considering the continuous wars in recent years, especially the Black Cavalry who served as the main force in several bloody and dangerous battles, a large amount of damage was caused.
For example, when Wang Yu first broke into the capital of Dongyi, Xue Rengui's part of the black cavalry was almost completely lost. Although the reserves of the black cavalry were replenished, this part of the black cavalry became the most powerful among the three black cavalry.
The weakest branch is far inferior to its peak.
As for the Shanyang Road in Hedong, the black cavalry also served as the main force in various battlefield operations, especially during Zhang Liao's blockade of the central mountain range, which once again caused tragic casualties.
Moreover, the reserves of the Black Cavalry have been exhausted one after another. If the fight continues like this, there will be such casualties and it will no longer be able to replenish enough manpower in a short time.
Also consider that because a large number of reserves have been added to the main force of the Black Cavalry in recent years, the combat effectiveness of the Black Cavalry has dropped a lot.
Therefore, at the same time that Ye Jiyang became the new Black Cavalry commander, Wang Yu also reorganized the Black Cavalry, selected the five thousand weakest Black Cavalry horses from each department, and put them back into the reserve to ensure that they could be replenished.
The number of reserves can also keep up.
At the same time, the purpose of actively screening out these relatively weak black knights is to ensure the combat effectiveness of the remaining black knights.
Nine soldiers with a combat effectiveness of ten and one soldier with a combat effectiveness of six will not be able to exert a combat effectiveness of 100. It is even very likely that they will not be able to exert a combat effectiveness of ninety-six, or even ninety or eighty.
The combat effectiveness cannot be exerted.
The various tactics of the Black Cavalry are all about coordination. In addition to the troops like the Red Blood Soldiers who are completely dependent on life, the strength of the remaining elites is composed of all aspects, the strength of the soldiers, the strength of the equipment, and
Tactical coordination.
And these soldiers with poor quality are likely to directly affect the cooperation between the entire Black Cavalry departments. This is the factor that has the greatest impact on the Black Cavalry's combat effectiveness.
Therefore, Wang Yu would rather cut off these people and send them back to the reserve force as a replacement for the black cavalry after they are lost in battle in the future, rather than continue to maintain a complete establishment on the surface. The strength on the surface is far less powerful than the real strength in reality.
It makes sense.
In addition, an assessment mechanism has been implemented for the black knights, with the superior ones being promoted and the inferior ones being demoted. Some who do not meet the standards will be re-entered into the reserve force, and those with outstanding abilities in the reserve force will be promoted to regular service in advance.
The original three groups of black cavalry have now become five groups of black cavalry, with a three-by-two distribution, with each group having 5,000 people.
The first three units, like the five main field armies, are mobile troops that can participate in battle at any time.
As for the remaining two departments, one is permanently stationed at Tianlang Pass and the other is permanently stationed at Yecheng, the imperial capital. The first three departments and the last two departments are rotated from time to time.
Therefore, nominally 500,000 soldiers and horses were used, but the number of soldiers and horses actually involved in this station was more than 500,000.
In fact, the potential soldiers and horses behind them can even pull out a few hundred thousand.
In Blue Star, when fighting, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are used to build momentum, known as an army of 100,000, or even an army of one million. After all, there are only tens of thousands of regular soldiers and horses, but along the way, in order to ensure this
The fighting strength of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses may be several times the number of strong men and women gathered together.
But in the Apocalypse, during the war, even if some people need to be mobilized, only a very small part is needed to meet the demand. The most important thing is to transport food, and you can rely on troop carriers to solve at least 70% of the problem.
need.
Therefore, labor costs are greatly reduced.
In Tianqi, if he claims to have an army of 100,000, he must at least have an army of 80,000. Even 120,000 to 30,000 troops can also be claimed as an army of 100,000, but it is much more sincere.
It is precisely because of the existence of the Black Cavalry and the Feiyu Legion that Gao Huan is so worried. Surrounded by plain terrain, the Black Cavalry and the Feiyu Legion completely make them lose the ability to fight in the field. Even once the opponent's army officially
When the pressure is on, the various departments will be extremely passive when mobilizing between each other.
In Henan Province, Hu Luguang only had 30,000 vanguard troops. However, through various strategies, he easily captured Hutoushan and got a good start in the battle to conquer the south.
After that, Huangfu Guyuan's support army and Wang Yu's main force of the Chinese army also arrived at the front line.
At the same time, Meng Tian's 100,000 barbarian army, plus 20,000 Feiyu troops, under the leadership of Han Xin, fought brazenly towards Guangyin.
Guangyin, although this place is not as prosperous as the Land of Four Rivers, this place and the Land of Two Greens are second only to the Land of Four Rivers. Especially the Land of Two Greens, because of the coastal
, commerce and salt industry are developed, to a certain extent, they are not even as different as the land of Four Rivers.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, Guangyin has also been a place that has been devastated over the years.
When the Three Kings were in chaos, the soldiers and horses of the Three Kings and the imperial army's soldiers and horses were in Guangyin. The two sides fought for a long time and suffered the trauma of the war.
After that, the battlefield of the confrontation between King Jing Huangfu Gu Yuan and King Wei Huangfu Gu Han and the Tianshi Dao Alliance was once pulled into Guangyin after the Heyang Dao was lost.
Now, it looks like it will be devastated by war again.
Han Xin personally led the troops, which made Jiang Shuihan, who was already the general of the army, very nervous.
When they joined forces to fight against Huangfu Mingzhao's court, Han Xin was the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces at that time, and Jiang Shuihan was theoretically under Han Xin's command at that time.
It was precisely because of the many contacts at that time that Jiang Shuihan became more aware of Han Xin's terror.
Hundreds of thousands of troops are in his hands like fingers and arms.
Except for Han Xin, no one else in the entire alliance of forces at that time had such an ability.
Even Yang Su and Xuanyuan Huang don't have this ability. If hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are placed in their hands and they are given command, they will find it difficult, and they will not be able to do it as easily as Han Xin.
One hundred thousand soldiers and horses, this is already a battle between large-scale legions. And a battle between hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses can be said to be a battle between super-large-scale legions. Those who can achieve this, ordinary god-level
Being a commander cannot be done easily. Those who can do that relatively easily are considered advanced among god-level commanders.
And Han Xin, among all the god-level commanders, is the one who is best at controlling large-scale legion operations.
Such an opponent was about to attack them. Jiang Shuihan's whole body was filled with chills. Han Xin's soldiers and horses were still on the road and they hadn't really attacked yet. The battle hadn't really started yet, but he had already felt it.
There was tremendous pressure.
And just when Jiang Shuihan was actively mobilizing his troops and generals, he was preparing to face Han Xin under great pressure.
However, before he could wait for Han Xin's troops to arrive, news came to Huangfu Gu Han of Qingbei that he had been attacked by Han troops.
The first year of Yuanshi.
On May 21st, Meng Tian, the Han general and the leader of the Barbarian Bear Army, led 20,000 troops and 5,000 golden fire cavalry, and stormed into Qingbei.
And for this battle, the troops mobilized were not only 25,000 troops, but also half of the Flame Whale Legion.
Even the battle at the beginning was not fought by Meng Tian's 25,000 troops, but by the Fierce Whale Legion as the main force. After the turbulence of the sea, Meng Tian's troops and horses waited.
By the time they came up, they were almost falling apart, and there was not much fighting power left at all.
Therefore, in this first battle, we can only use the Flame Whale Legion as the main force.
Meng Tian's 25,000 soldiers and horses, under the escort of the 30,000 Yanbei Navy led by Mo Peng, the leader of the Fierce Whale Corps, took the sea route and officially entered Qingbei.
After the news came that Meng Tian had entered Qingbei, Han Xin's army immediately changed its original direction, turned around and returned to Yannan. After getting on the personnel carrier, it headed all the way to Qingbei in the east.
Instead, the Yannan army, which had originally pressed towards Qingbei, established a defense line along the river, forming a defensive posture.
Wang Yu's order to Han Xin was to take Guangyin and threaten the east of Henan Road. As for Qingbei Road, take it if you can. If there is a chance, take it directly.
Han Xin's understanding is that it is natural to capture Guangyin and Qingbei together.
So since they all have to be taken, it’s just a question of which one to take first and which one to take last!
In Han Xin's view, although the mighty king Huangfu Guhan occupied a part of Qingbei, half of Qingnan, and a smaller half of Heyang, the total military strength in each place was as high as 250,000.
However, among the 250,000 soldiers and horses, many are soldiers who have just joined the army a few years ago, and their combat effectiveness is uneven.
The most important thing is that King Wei is at his weakest at this time.
He obviously had 250,000 troops, but when he helped Tianshi Dao fight against Huangfu Guyuan, he could only mobilize 50,000 troops at most. This shows how weak this man is at this time!
Huangfu Guhan, who has 250,000 troops, is much easier to deal with than the 150,000 troops of the mighty king Huangfu Guyuan in Guangyin and Heyang.
Therefore, Han Xin made a plan to build the plank road openly, attack Chencang secretly, attack Guangyin openly, and actually capture Qingbei. He calculated the situation mentally and unintentionally, and opened the situation as quickly as possible.
He is very aware of his deterrent power among the various forces in Da Cang. As long as he appears head-on with his troops and horses, he can definitely defeat the forces in Guangyin, Heyang, Qingbei, and even Tianshi Dao of Donghai Dao.
All eyes are focused on it.
Especially when Wang Yu's main army had already moved south in a big way, at this time, Han Xin targeted Guangyin and Heyang. I believe no one would doubt it.
At this time, Meng Tian detached a small force, and under the escort of the Fierce Whale Legion, took the sea route and entered Qingbei Road first, which would be a great success.
Especially when Qingbei Road's troops are mainly concentrated in the west and south, the east side is the most empty. Although the number of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses may not sound large, under this situation, it is absolutely
It will get twice the result with half the effort.
It was precisely because Han Xin's intimidating power was so great that, with Han Xin at the front, everyone ignored the existence of Meng Tian.
Even though these two men are also the commanders of the same legion, in the six months since Han Xin came to Yannan, even Meng Tian unconsciously regarded Han Xin as the leader.
Han Xin, he shined brightly and sharply as soon as he appeared on the scene. In a short period of time, he stood out and even surpassed his seniors one after another. In a very short period of time, he stood in front of those old people.
Later, several forces jointly attacked Huangfu Mingzhao's court, officially pushing him to a peak.
On the other hand, Meng Tian, although he was born the longest, was only about sixteen years old when he was born. Compared to Han Xin, who was at his peak when he came out, he has slowly grown up step by step over the years.
There is no great achievement as famous as Han Xin's, nor monstrous achievements like him, but relying on the accumulation of small achievements one after another over the years, coupled with his qualifications as one of the earliest people, this
We have just come step by step to where we are now.
Therefore, among the several army generals, Meng Tian himself is the one who is most difficult to attract people's attention. At this time, with Han Xin in front, it is easier for him to withdraw to avoid the reality.
An incident has just occurred in the coastal area to the east. As soon as Huangfu Guhan received the news, his first reaction was to mobilize troops and horses to support the rear. With the convenience of troop transport vehicles, the first batch of troops and horses can pass within six or seven days.
.
But at this time, he also received the news that Han Xin's troops had turned back to fight. Also because of the convenience of the troop transport, Han Xin's troops would be able to fight over in only six or seven days.
For a time, people in King Wei's court were in turmoil.
