It is indeed very troublesome. The combat effectiveness of the poisonous and stubborn Black Mountain bandits is much worse than that of Zhang Yan's Montenegrin Army headquarters. That day, the brother and sister Ma Yunluo were crossing the border and encountered these bandits setting up a blockade to create difficulties.
With only one person accompanying him, hundreds of thieves were beaten and fled, which is not worth mentioning at all.
If they meet in the plains, there is no need for iron cavalry to come out, hundreds of light cavalry can drive these guys around like sheep.
However, we are now in a mountainous area, which is the most suitable terrain for these guys. In addition, the bandits do not seek victory, but only want to delay the Qingzhou Army's time and schedule, making it very difficult to deal with them.
If you want a quick victory, you can't cover everything. As a result of hastily advancing troops, even brave generals like Tai Shici were plotted against. This time he was safe, but who can guarantee that he will be fine next time?
From the information provided by the locals, it seems that there are places in this rugged mountain road that suddenly widen, or where the mountain walls are not so steep. Once you are ambushed in such a place, your feet will be twisted and your armor will be smashed.
The problem is out of the hole.
The defensive power of plate armor is very strong, but no matter how strong it is, it cannot be stronger than the power of heaven and earth. Just like the allusion of Zhuge Liang burning the Snake Valley, once you are ambushed in a dangerous place, no matter what armor you are wearing, it will be useless.
If we attack step by step, the risk is small, but it will take a long time. Just as Zhuge Liang worried, if, as Wang Yu expected, Lu Bu has been ambushed by Cao Cao, who is besieging Lu Bu in Hanoi. Then
, after receiving the reward from the Black Mountain Bandits, Cao Cao could dispatch elite troops to the other side of Baixing in a very short period of time.
The biggest advantage of the cavalry is mobility. Without mobility, it is difficult to rush out from a narrow valley. If you can't rush out, it is difficult to retreat. Isn't this how Qian Man was forced to death by Yu Jin?
Of?
What lies ahead of us seems to be a detour.
Since Cao Cao had made arrangements in advance, Taihangxing must be inaccessible. You can also enter Hanoi through the farther Zhiguanxing, but you have to go in a big circle. However, there is no risk at all. No matter how cautious Cao Cao is, he cannot pass the three lines.
All roads are blocked.
Judging from Cao Cao's arrangement, he was not very sure whether Wang Yu would go directly from Shangdang to Hanoi. Even Baixing was just trying to take precautions before they happened.
The Black Mountain bandits are of little use in sieges and field battles. Rather than letting them be an eyesore around you and consuming precious military rations, it is better to fight them far away and prevent Wang Yu from suddenly killing him from the upper party.
Come here, it can be regarded as waste utilization.
In a sense, the encounter with the enemy at Baixing not only did not reduce Wang Yu's prestige, but instead deepened the generals' admiration and belief in him.
The last time he received military information from the Central Plains was when the army set off from Bingzhou. Jia Xu's report only explained the latest changes and did not even mention the corresponding speculations. However, Wang Yu accurately saw through the movements of Cao's army.
Coming to Hanoi.
It seems like they are being deceived, but the Qingzhou generals would rather believe that this is the result of their lord's planning. Either it is the effect of the tip bag, or the lord has already counted the enemy to death.
As for the encounter with the enemy at Baixing, it was a force majeure event. Cao Cao was not a puppet on a string. A master who could force Jia Xu to the point where he was unable to parry would certainly not be surprised that he would take precautions and set up defenses in advance.
"A detour..." Wang Yu was not very satisfied with the result of the military discussion, but there was nothing he could do. After a comprehensive judgment, this was the most practical method.
If we leave now, we will be delayed for almost three or four days on the road. Even if Cao Cao gets the news immediately, he will not have time to block the road. Once they enter Hanoi, the Wind and Fire Cavalry will be like a dragon returning to the sea, and they can gallop wherever they want. Cao Cao
To divide the troops to intercept them is only to bring humiliation to oneself.
Compared with fighting hard for several days in Baixing and facing the enemy's siege at the mouth of the valley, a detour is the best strategy.
"My lord, are you worried about Marquis Wen's safety?" Zhuge Liang saw Wang Yu's concerns and asked softly.
"Yes." Wang Yu turned his head and looked at the pale Lu Qiling, his eyes full of love and affection, but the answer he spoke slowly was the wrong answer: "You must really want to know what is written in that brochure.
, what kind of changes will it bring to the war situation?"
"...Please tell me, my lord." The generals looked at each other, not knowing what the lord meant by suddenly mentioning this matter. However, this question has indeed been bothering everyone for a long time. It must be a lie to say that they don't want to know.
"It's said to be a brilliant idea, but it's actually not as magical as I imagined. Everything can be summed up in four words..."
Wang Yu withdrew his gaze from his wife's face and looked at the generals under his tent. Although the situation was not very good, every resolute face was filled with loyalty and fearlessness. Wang Yu had no doubt that no matter what was ahead,
Whether it is a mountain of swords or a sea of fire, as long as you give the order, these loyal and brave soldiers will rush forward without hesitation.
Even so, Wang Yu was not sure how everyone would react when he told the truth.
Will you be disappointed? Or will you laugh it off? Or feel dissatisfied, even resentful?
People's hearts are unpredictable, and there is no way to guess whether Wang Yu is a human or a god. There is only one thing he is sure of, and now is the time to reveal the answer.
"These four words are: fight on your own!" In the silence where a pindrop could be heard, Wang Yu's clear words were like a big stone hitting the calm water, knocking everyone out at once.
"What do you mean by fighting alone... Lord, have you relieved the military advisor of command?" Zhuge Liang looked at Wang Yu blankly, with an expression of disbelief on his face. At this moment, the young man with unparalleled eloquence suddenly turned into
Stuttering, he stumbled over a very simple sentence and paused seven or eight times.
Wang Yu did not speak, but nodded slightly, apparently acquiescing.
"At this time, everyone is fighting alone? Isn't it the same as having no command? How the battle situation will evolve, I'm afraid only God knows!" Tai Shici was also confused.
Although remote command is not feasible, as the supreme commander, the lord must at least have an idea of the battle situation, right? If all the troops in Yanzhou are fighting independently, who else can control the direction of the battle? This does not mean that the initiative has been completely taken away.
Give it up?
"Ziyi, you are right, only God knows about this kind of thing!" Faced with Taishi Ci's question, Wang Yu was not angry but happy, and nodded to him with a smile.
This abnormality was immediately discovered by Zhao Yun, who was very attentive. He pondered for a moment, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and he blurted out without thinking: "I understand! My lord just wants to confuse the situation and confuse Cao Cao's sight.
Let him have no time to respond!"
Only this explanation is reasonable.
Cao Cao's strategy was designed by Jia Xu, Lu Bu, Guan Ping and Chen Dao respectively. The alienation plan obviously failed on Guan Ping, and Chen Dao also had Wang Mo to guarantee that nothing would happen. Although it had a certain impact on the morale of the army, overall, it cannot be regarded as
Completely successful. However, Cao Cao's design against Lu Bu was completely successful, and he also succeeded in shaking Jia Xu. This is the most fatal thing.
There is no concept of psychological warfare in this era, but there are many wise men in this world who are good at this, including Jia Xu, Cao Cao, and Guo Jia.
Psychological warfare is invisible and intangible, but it is more dangerous than a real battle. Once it fails and the opponent takes the initiative, it is very likely that every move will be clearly seen by the opponent.
This was the case with Jia Xu. His weakness was discovered, and he seemed to be a little timid under Cao Cao's aggressive momentum.
Of course it would be best for him to overcome it himself, but the problem is that Cao Cao will probably not give him such a margin. In this case, whether it is to change generals at random or to command remotely, it is a bad idea.
He couldn't find anyone to replace him, so most of the talents Wang Yu recruited were underage. No matter how precocious and intelligent he was, he couldn't be a match for a wily hero like Cao Cao. What's more, the best and most promising successor
The two members of Jia Xu's class are not in Yanzhou.
Tian Feng does have the qualifications and knowledge. But the problem is that since he became a minister under Wang Yu, Tian Feng has focused on domestic affairs and has not participated in major military affairs for many years. It is also unrealistic for him to take over.
"So the lord ordered each tribe to fight on its own?"
"Wen Yuan and Wen Ze are both talented generals. Even if they are allowed to stand alone, they may not be at a disadvantage against Cao Cao. Tan Zhi is a bit younger, but I ordered Wen to rush to Juyang to join him... Gao Tangna
It's a bit dangerous, but Boyan is talented and smart, Uncle Zhi is meticulous in his actions, and Mo Jie, who is good at dancing, can mediate between them, so it shouldn't be a big problem..."
The reason why Wang Yu dared to do this was because he believed in the talents of his generals. These talents would bring great trouble to Cao Cao.
"Losing overall command is very dangerous in the long run. However, within a month or two, Cao Cao may not be able to figure things out and find their respective weaknesses. Instead, it will feel like a mouse pulling a turtle and having no way to start.
This somewhat random strategy will disrupt Cao Cao's deployment and undermine the advantages he established in advance. However, this strategy also has a major weakness..."
Wang Yu chose to reveal the answer at this time for the explanation that follows. In fact, Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun, who had the quickest reactions, had already guessed the answer.
"That's right, it's Hanoi! Marquis Wen's troops are still equivalent to guest troops, and they have never been integrated into the overall strategy. This time it is even more... What I am most worried about is that Cao Cao will find that Yanzhou is difficult to capture, and he will hurt my fingers.
, why not cut off my arm and point the finger at Marquis Wen!"
"Oh!" Lu Qiling was shocked when she heard this. She covered her mouth with her hands, but she still couldn't cover up her sobs. The girl suppressed it and did not cry in public, but two lines of clear tears were already flowing down her cheeks.
, like a string of pearls, heartbreaking.
"Either way, Marquis Wen and I have a brother-in-law relationship; rightly, the Puyang Army is an ally of our army... Regardless of right or wrong, our army must arrive in Hanoi as soon as possible to launch rescue..." Wang Yu did not look back, but
The tone of his voice got higher and higher, and there seemed to be a sound of gold and iron in the sonorous and powerful words: "Therefore, in this battle, there is no advance but no retreat!"
"If you advance, never retreat!" All the generals promised in unison, and their loud shouts broke the silence of the night, echoing among the mountains and valleys. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
