Logically speaking, Wang Yu prefers to defend the city, especially when his own forces are weak.
However, this time it will definitely not work. The cavalry is not good at defending the city, especially the black cavalry. They can only exert their greatest combat effectiveness when charging into the formation. If they were allowed to defend the city, how much stronger would they be compared to ordinary soldiers?
?
Moreover, a more important reason is that this is not their home court after all. Zhulong Mansion is Dongyi's territory. Wang Yu doesn't think that he can conquer the hearts of the people in the city in such a short period of time. Not yet
While dreaming!
If a city defense battle really takes place, once the people in the city are provoked by Dong Yi, it will be extremely detrimental to Wang Yu and the others!
Therefore, when 50,000 soldiers and horses had already sensed the news of Nanping Road, Wang Yu had already withdrawn from Zhulong Mansion before the enemy's troops came to the city.
"Lord, the enemy has come from afar, and our army can attack at night!" On the march, the main counselors rode horses and discussed the next plan.
"In this way, we can divide our forces to defeat him!" Wen Zhong continued.
According to the news they received, in addition to the 50,000 who had entered Nanping Road, Dongyi still had 30,000 soldiers and horses behind them. Using 80,000 soldiers and horses to deal with 20,000 of them, Dongyi really dared to spend a lot of money.
of.
"There's no rush yet!" Wang Yu objected directly.
This time, he really saw the hope of breaking through the opponent's capital. After sending the Eastern Expedition army, there were only 50,000 soldiers and horses left in the Dongyi capital. This time, in order to encircle and suppress them, he once again mobilized three troops in the capital.
Thousands of defenders.
In other words, at this time, there are only 20,000 troops left to guard the capital of Dongyi Kingdom. Perhaps, 20,000 troops, plus such a fortified city, let alone 20,000 troops, even if it is 50,000 troops,
It's almost impossible to break it.
However, if it was not a forceful attack but an outmaneuvering, Wang Yu would at least see a glimmer of hope of attacking the capital of Dongyi.
It was precisely because he saw the hope of truly attacking the capital of Dongyi that Wang Yu was not in a hurry to take action so quickly. He had to wait until the opponent's 80,000 soldiers gathered together, and then it was time for him to take action.
After all, if he defeated these 50,000 soldiers and horses, how could the remaining 30,000 soldiers and horses continue to come after receiving the news? Even the 50,000 soldiers and horses in front were defeated, and the remaining 30,000 soldiers and horses were defeated.
If 30,000 people continue to come here, is it because they are willing to sacrifice their lives for thousands of miles? Are they really treating the other side's generals as fools?
Of course, 20,000 against 80,000, no matter how you look at them, they are all on the weaker side! However, if Wang Yu can't even overcome this possibility, then he will be even less qualified to touch other people's capital!
Although they are absolutely weak in terms of military strength, the reason why Wang Yu dared to have such an idea is that they naturally have an advantage on their side.
The opponent has a total of 80,000 troops before and after, only 10,000 are cavalry, and the remaining 70,000 are infantry. However, Wang Yu's men are all cavalry. This is his advantage, the advantage in speed.
As long as he makes good use of this speed advantage, he can create an environment where the local strength is greater than the opponent's, and swallow up the opponent one by one in a mobile battle.
"Lord, if we don't fight quickly, I'm afraid our army will not be able to sustain its food supply!" Wen Zhong said with a frown.
They were deep into the enemy's territory at this time, and could not transport food and grass at all. Therefore, it was naturally impossible to obtain supplementary supplies of food and grass.
When they left Zhulong Mansion, they only carried half a month's worth of food and grass, except for what they could transport as much as possible in the previous period, and the rest was distributed to the people in the city.
Considering the factor of food and grass, Wen Zhong decided to fight quickly. Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy had just entered Nanping Road and had not arrived yet and was still halfway there, they rushed all the way.
If the enemies on this road can be eliminated, then the Nanping Road will be their world, allowing them to run as they please.
And if they don't get the support of food and grass, they will collapse on their own, even without the enemy taking the initiative to attack.
No matter how elite an army is, you cannot ask it to maintain combat effectiveness even if it is hungry. No matter how powerful a commander is, you cannot ask him to lead a hungry army to victory!
"Liangcao! Wenhe, is there any way to help our army solve this problem?"
This Jia Xu is eight feet tall. If you look closely, you will find that there is a hint of domineering between his eyebrows. However, if combined with his slightly fat figure, the so-called domineering disappears completely.
.
Moreover, Jia Wenhe's attributes are quite good, and he is worthy of being one of the top counselors during the Three Kingdoms period.
The intelligence at the peak of the heaven level is no worse than Gao Jiong after reaching the peak. In comparison, Jia Xu is inferior to Gao Jiong only in terms of almighty.
"My lord, as far as I know, when my lord left the city, he ordered people to bring a lot of clothes of Dongyi soldiers! In these years of living among Dongyi, I have heard a lot about officers, soldiers or thieves breaking into the city and looting!
"After hearing his name being called, Jia Xu said calmly. It was obvious that he had already had an idea.
It is natural for thieves to break into the city and plunder, but it is unlikely to happen frequently. The power of the Dongyi court is not in vain. And it is almost impossible for officers and soldiers to rob, even if they are really greedy.
, and it is impossible to do such a thing wearing the uniform of an officer or soldier.
By saying this, Jia Xu had directly hinted his plan to everyone! Just disguise as Dongyi soldiers and go to the surrounding cities, or simply go to the villages to rob!
Originally, there was no need to pretend to be Dongyi soldiers for this kind of thing, but Wang Yu was sharing money and food in Zhulong Mansion. It was obviously what the other party's people thought sometimes. Therefore, it was inconvenient to wear them at this time.
The original costume was used to do this kind of thing, so it is more convenient to change it into the Dongyi soldier's costume.
Among the four barbarians, except for the Southern Barbarians who were still slightly isolated, the remaining Dongyi, Beidi, and Xirong all integrated with the Central Plains culture, but among them, the Dongyi were the most in-depth.
Not to mention the bottom class, among the top nobles of Dongyi, even the royal family, which one does not have the blood of the Central Plains? Even the two noble families of the Wang family and the Li family are dominated by the blood of the Central Plains.
And this is also the result of the cultural penetration that began during the Dawu Emperor's reign over the past thousand years. Even many foreigners are now no different from the Central Plains people. Therefore, it is much easier to pretend to be the other person, and you are not afraid of being caught.
