"Report to Your Highness! The rebel Bocai led the main force of the Baibo Army to hold on to Suiding. Our army's advance has been blocked. Commander Han Zhong is asking for help!"
"Report to Your Highness! Qu Commander Huang Shao urgently reported for help. The new city has been occupied by Peng Tuo, deputy commander of the Baibo Army, and is being defended. Our army will not be able to attack it for a long time!"
"Report to Your Highness! Chenggu urgent report! A fire broke out in Chenggu City. The rebel general Du Yuan led his army to take advantage of the chaos and rushed in. His commander Zhang Niujiao fought hard to break through. The Qingzhou Army suffered heavy losses!"
In less than three hours, battle reports came one after another. The enemy's main force appeared, the new city was lost, and the city was defeated! Bian Xi hadn't left yet, and everyone was shocked in the golden dome tent. Everything that happened was different from Gang Guo's.
Exactly what Jia expected!
The Hanzhong Army began to counterattack. They evacuated all the people from Shangyong to Hanzhong City. They made a strategic detour and followed the frozen Han River to Qinyang's rear. They handed Qinyang a large piece of land.
In this barren land, in this cold winter, all that was left for Qin Yang and his nearly 300,000 troops were coldness and hunger!
This is a very large layout, and the planner calculated every step of Qin Yang very accurately. The strong wall and clear field were just a cover at the beginning, but now it has become a trump card against Qin Yang and his army. In Qin Yang
While everyone is still seeking a decisive battle with the main force of the rebels, a huge net has already been opened. The severe cold has become the sharpest weapon, and soon Qin Yang's army will lose all its fighting power in front of it. Hanzhong is surrounded on all sides.
Mountains are easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as the rebels firmly guard a few important checkpoints, a huge pocket will be formed, and Qin Yang will be unable to fly without wings!
"Who planned this game?! Vicious and sharp!" Guo Jia looked a little pale. Although he was a natural military wizard, he still lacked experience. Although he finally saw through the opponent's intentions, it was too late.
"How is it possible! There is absolutely no such talent in Hanzhong!" Ma Yuanyi looked at the military map and couldn't believe it. In his impression, the Baibo Army's military advisor Guo Baitai and the Black Mountain Army's military advisor Yang Feng were more capable than Ma Yuanyi.
Not enough. How could the calculation be so accurate?!
"It's meaningless to find out whose plot it is now. What should we do next?" Qin Yang said. He is not a counselor, nor does he have the mood of a counselor. He just wants to know how to deal with the situation now that it has come to this.
Qin Yang's words awakened Guo Jia. He recovered from the initial shock, pondered for a moment and said: "Zhang Ning in Hanzhong, Du Yuan in Chenggu, Bo Cai in Suiding, Peng Tuo in Xincheng...
…, the number is wrong! They are missing an army!”
"You mean Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army?!" Qin Yang said.
"That's right! The Black Mountain Army is mainly composed of cavalry, and its field strength is superior to the White Wave Army, but they did not appear in any important place... If my estimate is correct, there are only two reasons for their absence!"
"Two?" Seeing Guo Jia regaining his composure, Qin Yang asked with a flash of his eyes.
"That's right! Now we have only two ways to go in Hanzhong. First, attack Xincheng and Suiding, and fortify one of them, either to break out of the siege or to turn the tide. Among these three places, analyze Xincheng based on the returns
Peng Tuo, the chief general of the Baibo Army, and his soldiers are the elite of the Shenji Battalion of the Baibo Army. They have strong bows and crossbows, and there are also men who dare to die to guard them. The strength of the army is about 30,000. If they hold on, no accident, within seven days to ten days
God can guarantee that the new city will not be lost."
"Seven days... our food and grass are enough to support us!" Qin Yang thought thoughtfully.
"Yes, but your Highness, don't forget that after the New City is the Han River. Even if we take the New City, our army will only get a temporary rest. Now the princes in the world are watching the movements of our army. Even if our army takes the New City
They will also lose troops and generals, and I am afraid that their strength will not be half as good as before. I wonder what Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Zhang Xiu of Wancheng, and Yuan Shu of Runan will plan? After all, His Highness's seal ribbon and canonization decree have not yet arrived..."
"If our army is defeated and withdraws from Hanzhong..." Qin Yang suddenly broke into a cold sweat. Although Qin Yang had reached an agreement with the empire before in Xiangcheng, since the Hanzhong mutiny, the title promised by Zhao Zhong and the title of the Hanzhong prefect
There has been no news from Yinshou. In the meantime, Qin Yang also urged him. After all, if Yinshou arrives, Qin Yang will be a real prince of the Han Empire, and then the princes from all directions will become his nominal allies.
But at this time, it is obvious that the empire intends to delay and wait for the outcome of the Battle of Hanzhong. In the eyes of any prince, Qin Yang and his nearly 300,000 troops are a huge piece of fat. If Qin Yang's strength is not compromised, it will be natural.
Everyone treated him respectfully, but if the army was really defeated, it would not be surprising if someone took advantage of the situation and robbed him. The backs of the entire army that captured the new city would be completely exposed to their fangs. If someone really attacked
If you take advantage of the situation under the guise of rescue...it's best not to make this move lightly.
Guo Jia continued: "Hanzhong City and Chenggu are horns with each other. Hanzhong has 30,000 defensive troops loyal to the saint, and the city has 20,000 Xuchang Yellow Turbans under Du Yuan's command. If we attack the city, both sides will respond to each other. Hanzhong will
Hechenggu and Chenggu are both strong cities and are extremely difficult to capture in a hurry. On the other hand, in Suiding, Bocai is personally in charge. There should be about 40,000 troops guarding the city. If we want to capture our army quickly, we must go all out."
"It's a bit difficult, but at least there's hope of conquering it, and there won't be any trouble like the new city." Qin Yang thought.
"Your Highness Mingjian, this is exactly what I want to say. The new city is just a bait. The rebels hope that we attack the new city to break out. But this is just a bait on the surface. In fact, Zhang Yan's 10,000 black cavalry and 40,000 spear infantry
This is the enemy’s real killing move!”
"What does Military Master Guo mean?"
"The Black Mountain Army that has disappeared out of thin air now will appear when we attack any place and when the battle is the most intense. Break into our back road and disrupt our army's camp! Then they will cooperate with the army in the city and defeat our army. They are a group of
A sharp sword hidden somewhere in Hanzhong!"
Guo Jia's words made the entire camp extremely silent. Everyone listened quietly to Guo Jia's analysis without daring to make a sound. A total of 50,000 elites were watching in the dark, and everyone felt like a thorn in their backs.
"Then what should we do?"
"Find the Black Mountain Army! Destroy them! Once the Black Mountain Army is destroyed, their big network will be nothing but an empty shell!" Guo Jia said decisively.
"Find the Black Mountain Army?!" All the generals, including Qin Yang, looked at Guo Jia in disbelief. You must know how difficult it is to hide an army of fifty thousand people in this huge encirclement.
It's an easy thing. How to find it? By the time the scouts find the location of the Black Mountain Army, I'm afraid half of the Yellow Turban Army will have starved to death! This is even if the scouts are killed directly without being discovered by the enemy.
Guo Jia's eyes flashed with coldness. He was not as worried as Qin Yang and others. He was even a little excited at this time. After recovering from the initial panic, Guo Jia's feeling of meeting his opponent began to make his whole nerves shake.
Get excited. Although the competition between counselors is not like the face-to-face life-and-death battle between generals, they are tit-for-tat when the situation is changing, and ingenious schemes emerge one after another. The game thousands of miles away determines the life and death of millions of people.
"I just said that the Black Mountain Army has two purposes. The first is to use the erratic sword. Then the second is to prevent our army from withdrawing from another way!"
"Another way? Where else but the new city?!"
"Of course it was the place where Peng Tuo's army made a detour, that is, the Han River! Such a large net, if it had been in summer when the water rose, it would have been tightly closed without any flaws. But now that the Han River is frozen, they can use the Han River to make a detour
If we surround our army, then our army can cross the Han River to withdraw from Hanzhong or use the frozen Han River as our army's supply line to hold on. In this way, although our army's losses will definitely be heavy, we will never be defeated. Fight steadily.
, with sufficient food and grass, we will stick to Shangyong and besiege the new city. Compared with the 30,000 elite soldiers in their new city, our losses are worth it!"
"The frozen Han River is a double-edged sword. We can imagine that the rebels will naturally take this into consideration. So I said that another purpose of the Montenegrin Army is to prevent us from crossing the Han River!"
"Then how can we find the Black Mountain Army?"
"It is not difficult to find the Montenegro Army. Since their purpose is clear, they must choose a place that is very convenient for whatever they do. I think the place where the Montenegro Army is currently stationed is here!"
Everyone's eyes followed the wooden stick in Guo Jia's hand and landed heavily on an extremely inconspicuous place on the map.
"They actually appeared here?!" Qin Yang's eyes flashed with surprise.
"That's right! Who would have thought that the powerful Black Mountain Army did not return to Hanzhong City but ran outside Hanzhong after leaving Shangyong?"
