Shu Chen

Chapter 515 Let's try

In early summer and April, everything is thriving.

After passing through the lush green spring, the two sides of the Weishui River in Youfufeng entered the season of colorful flowers and reds.

The original beams are emerald, the clear water is graceful, the grass and smoke are graceful, the birds are flying here, and the sky of white clouds and dogs dyes the story of Fangfei in the world.

It's just that good things often don't last long.

Sima Yi, governor of Wei Yongliang, stood on the low wall of the camp during the siege in the west of Beiyuan.Although he had already prepared, the battle still came earlier than he expected.

The Han army began to cross the water seven or eight days ago.

It stems from the fact that Wei Yan often sent more than a thousand people across the water to seek war a few days ago, and Wei Jun didn't pay much attention to their movements.

Wei Jun also ignored the three small pontoon bridges erected on the Qianshui River that the Han Army had never demolished.

It's a tactic of shrinking back and defending.

It is very easy to build a pontoon bridge on narrow water.Even if the Wei army went to destroy it, the Han army would be rebuilt in less than half an hour, so there was no need to send troops to induce a field battle.

Moreover, even if the Han army has crossed the Sishui River, it will have to go another [-] miles to the east to reach the Wei army's western garrison. There is enough time to prepare for the battle, so there is no need to panic.

But unexpectedly, the Han army took a trick.

It was to let the soldiers and horses of the three schools cross the river, and when Wei Jun thought they were coming to make noise as usual, he stopped at the river and directly added a pontoon bridge.

By the time the Wei army scouts returned from alertness and reported, there were already more than ten pontoon bridges on the not wide Sishui River Valley!
It also made the Wei army lose the opportunity to use cavalry to contain the Han army from crossing the river: there are more than ten pontoon bridges, and more than [-] soldiers and horses can be crossed in a quarter of an hour.

However, Sima Yi was not depressed by this.

On the contrary, he was quite looking forward to it.

Because he has been looking forward to the early attack of the Han army.

For Chencang City, which has no chance to transfer food and supplies, one more day of being trapped means more food and fodder loss, and the chance of defending the city will be reduced by one point.

On top of that, the soldiers' emotions become more repressed as time goes by.

Non-vegetation.

Under long-term boring and depressed emotions, people tend to do some bad things.

Even if these soldiers are all elite, it is inevitable.

But the Han army attacked the fortress ahead of time, and the soldiers' emotions would be vented in the fire and blood, and they would not have the mind to care about other things.

And for Wei Guo, if he wanted to expel the Han army from Guanzhong, only by letting them go through a fruitless attack and sigh in front of the strong city, would they have the idea that the time to enter the main Guanzhong was not yet ripe, and they would give up and go back. .

Once the soldiers are stopped, Wei will benefit more.

Only the vast territory and the strong recovery ability brought by the rich counties and counties of the Central Plains will give them an advantage in future wars.

Not to mention, Wei State, which never fights every year, actually needs time to recuperate more urgently than Bashu.

Whether it was the Luoyang Chinese Army who had never removed their armor, the Wuhuan Tuqi who had no saddles to spare, or the Wanyu Huaisi elite who had just arrived from Huainan, they were all war-weary because of the stalemate in the war.

There are also Li Shu in Guanzhong who have been suffering from corvee, and there are even more complaints, almost reaching the critical point of pent-up anger.

Based on these considerations, after Sima Yi got the report, he did not let the soldiers and horses of the Wei Yan tribe come across the water to attack or harass when the camp in the east of Chencang City was not stable.

Since they attack as I wish, then let them go.

When they are under the fortified city with heavy casualties and low morale, our army will send troops to fight again, and it may not be impossible to win for a while!
But not all military situations he can take it easy.

Following Wei Yanbu's crossing the river and falling into the camp, Zheng Pu also supervised the troops to go south to the border of Yongxian County to face Sun Libu.

It seems that this is very common.

The two parts support each other and are the horns of each other.

But for Wei Guo, facing the already weak Anding County, he needs to make a decision as soon as possible, whether to let the soldiers stationed in Qi County go to harass.

It is common sense to send troops.

If you attack it, you must save it. Surround Wei and save Zhao.

Hit its weak wings to force the Chinese army to return to help, and reduce the pressure on Chen Cangcheng.

For example, Qian Hong, who has been staying in Qi County for guarding and supervising Wuhuan Tuqi, has already written a letter to ask for orders to go.

There are good reasons.

It was because when Fanhu Zun fought in the Nishui River Valley before, the Wei army's tactics were too conservative, and they sought stability everywhere. Owned by the State of Wei.This time should be taken as a warning, sending troops to harass, suspend troops to force, and hold the initiative of fighting or not fighting, so that the Han army had to divide its troops to defend.

That's right, Qianhong didn't hold the hope of taking back Longdong.

It's just to support You Fufeng's war.

The most important thing is that Qianhong emphasized that the garrison in Qi County of Wei State was a partial division in this battle.

Even if he can't make a contribution or is defeated for a while, it will not affect the situation of this battle, and it is better to ask him to try it than to let him ride [-] steps in Qi County and be bored.

This hits Sima Yi's current thoughts.

Regarding how to arrange the garrison in Qi County, he has also frequently called Zhao Yan, Qin Lang and others to discuss in the past few days.

As Zheng Pu's troops of the Han army moved southward, Qi County only needed more than [-] soldiers to guard the Jingshui River Valley without any worries. There was no need to leave so many soldiers and horses there doing nothing.

Especially when the war is about to start, every soldier and horse should be used to its full potential.

But both Qin Lang and Zhao Yan claimed that they could not be transferred.

The reason is very simple, I am worried that the Han army will transfer the tiger away from the mountain.

For example, the defense of Anding County was deliberately emptied, and Wei Jun was divided into Qi County's troops, and then Zhao Guangbu and Xiliang Iron Cavalry suddenly came across the gap between Taniguchi and Qi County, and Wei Jun came from Guanzhong after learning the news. The rescue was delayed for three to five days, so that the following infantry successfully besieged the city of Qi County.

At that time, Wei Guo will step into a dilemma of saving or not.

If it is a rescue, the Wei army will be surrounded and rescued, and forced to promote a fierce battle in the wild.

But if it is not rescued, the Han army will attack the fortifications unscrupulously with thousands of riders under the outer guard.

The city of Qi County is not as strong as Chen Cang!
With a city wall of less than three feet, not many large equipment, and the difficulty of rescue, it is not impossible to be captured.

And once Qi County is taken by the Han army, the Han army can attack the heart of Guanzhong along the Jingshui River Valley, making the Wei army on the right side of Fufeng unstable facing the rear.

Do not think that this possibility is unlikely.

Zheng Pu, who is in charge of the war in Anding County, likes to play this kind of tricks that are unexpected or unexpected.

And often succeed!

This is also the reason why Sima Yi was hesitant.

In terms of situation and rationality, he dared to conclude that the Han army that was about to attack Chencang would no longer have the dispatch to attack from the Jingshui River Valley.

However, what about Scar Pu, which is related to "my Wei's great trouble"?
He had to be cautious, let alone take chances.

Therefore, slowly, Qianhong's proposal became more and more important in his heart.

If not, and try?
