I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 163, The Power of Example
When the news of the Xianbei and Huns alliance attacking Mayi reached Xu Wei's ears, Xu Wei was stunned!
What a joke, it was Emperor Ling who forced you Huns to turn against you. You don't bother Emperor Ling or Dong Zhuo, and all rush to Mayi. What kind of reason is this?
But even if Xu Wei couldn't figure it out, he still had to face the four-way siege of the 14 coalition forces of the Xianbei and the Huns!

Mayi, the staff hall!

Xu Wei once again summoned all the high-level officials in Mayi!
"These Huns ate too much sheep and mixed up their heads! You rebelled against Emperor Ling, and you actually attacked our Mayi! Is there such a reason in the world!" Xu Wei is also a good-tempered person, but also I was irritated by the Huns' coquettish operation, it is really not easy to farm with peace of mind!

The generals who came here were all secretly happy. They saw the raging battle in Youzhou, and they wanted to fight for a long time, but Xu Wei kept pressing them. Now that the Xianbei and the Huns came to die on their own initiative, the generals of Mayi were happy Almost jumped up.

Wang Yong was the first to say: "Shuai Qu, I want to teach the Huns and Xianbei a lesson, otherwise they would think that we, Mayi, are easy to mess with!"

Ning Chen also yelled: "The Huns are now down and out. The phoenix is ​​not as good as the chicken. The territory they occupy is no more than a county, and the tribes are only 40 to 50 people. The tribes are not as good as half the population of our Mayi. If you dare to attack our Mayi, Qu Shuai decided to occupy Xihe County and solve the serious problem of the Huns!"

Mayi's caravans went deep into the Quartet. Whether it was the Xianbeis or the Huns on the grassland, these caravans brought a lot of information, especially after the Tengjia Army occupied Shuofang and Wuyuan County, they were regarded as being destroyed by the Huns and Xianbeis. There are two sides to attack, so naturally they will pay attention to the intelligence of the Huns and Xianbei. The Xianbei thought that the land is vast and sparsely populated, and they don't get much information, but the Huns are basically concentrated in Xihe County, and the information is naturally easy to obtain!

Wang Ge also followed suit and said, "What Ning Chen said is correct. Qushuai, we must completely control the Hetao Plain. The Huns are a scourge that must be dealt with. It just so happened that they came to our door this time, so we simply wiped out the Southern Huns!"

"Destroy the Southern Huns!"

"Destroy the Southern Huns!" Mayi's generals naturally didn't want the Huns to continue to lead Bingzhou.

Although Xu Wei felt that this disturbed his plan of accumulating food, but now that he had already started, it was better to kill the enemy!
Xu Wei stopped their yelling and said: "Everyone understand the situation first, and then think about how to deal with the coalition forces of the Huns and Xianbei."

Xu Wei opened a piece of gauze, and a huge sand table was revealed in front of everyone. The center of the map is Mayi, which is covered with counties and counties of Bingzhou and Youzhou, and even hundreds of miles deep into the grassland. He Lian, the mountains appear one by one around the map in the hall. Since Xu Wei proposed the sand table, Mayi spent a lot of manpower and material resources to collect the surrounding terrain. It took more than a year to have this scale model of the sand table. It can be said that with this sand table, the generals present can clearly see the terrain, location, and the situation of the enemy and us at a glance!
This time it is Wang Ge who helps everyone understand the situation of the war!

I saw Wang Ge took out a few Huren cavalry models and placed them on the sand table: "From the information we have now, these Xianbei and Huns have premeditated their attack on us. Two routes, 8 people attacked Luo County in Dingxiang County, and 4 people attacked Jiling County in Yunzhong County. Thousands of cavalry attacked Linrong in Shuofang County, and now we are facing a combined army of 6 Xianbei and Huns!"

Wang Ge changed his posture on the battlefield and began to ponder.

To be honest, the coalition forces of the Huns and Xianbei cannot scare everyone, and everyone is confident that they can defeat each other, but it is a bit troublesome in Wang Lei of Shuofang County and Zhao Rong of Wuyuan County. They only have 5000 cavalry, even if they can recruit some The militia, but it is also very likely that they will not be able to defeat the 6 Xianbei people.

Xu Wei looked at the situation on the sand table and said: "The most important thing for us now is not how to eliminate the Huns, but how to rescue Zhao Rong from Wuyuan County and Wang Lei from Shuofang County, especially since Wang Lei is more than 2000 miles away from Mayi. There are also Huns and Xianbei who prevent our rescue, I am afraid that we will not have reinforcements to support them in a month or two, with 5000 cavalry in their hands, how can they be the opponent of [-] Xianbei cavalry!"

Hearing Xu Wei's words, old man Wang worried for a while that he was just such a son. If Wang Lei died in battle, it would be a white-haired man to give a black-haired man.

When you look at Shuofang County, which is more than 2000 miles away, you are really embarrassed. If you march along the Yellow River, relying on the Yellow River water transportation will be fast. Unfortunately, there are 3 large armies blocking the way. Another way is to detour through the desert. After passing through the territory of the Xianbei people, the cavalry can support Shuofang County in a month at most, but it is a pity that such external support is too dangerous. If the Xianbei people send out a small army to delay Mayi's reinforcements, I am afraid that this kind of army will take 2-3 months. There is no time to catch up with Shuofang County, and the journey of more than 2000 miles is too convenient for the Xianbei people to fight guerrilla warfare.

Wang Yong thought for a while and said, "Shuai Qu, the current plan is to let Wang Lei fortify the wall and clear the field, and hit all the troops in Linrong. If we just defend the city, 5000 troops plus tens of thousands of troops are enough to hold on for several months. And we in Mayi raised our army and divided our troops into two groups, attacking the Huns in Luoxian County one way and Jiling in the other way, trying to defeat the Huns in the two groups in one battle, and then supporting them with more than 10 troops Wuyuan County, as long as we can fight quickly, we should be able to save Wang Lei before the Xianbei break through Shuofang County!"

When Xu Wei heard Wang Yong's suggestion, he just went all the way through the customs. It's the same as saying nothing!
There are hundreds of thousands of troops on this road. If the Huns and Xianbei want to delay, it is easy to delay for a year or so. You must know that Cao Cao delayed Yuan Shao for more than half a year in the famous battle of Guandu in later generations. If it weren't for Cao Cao's lack of food and grass, relying on the natural danger of the Yellow River, it would be no problem to delay it for another year or a half.

There is also the famous Battle of Changping. Lian Po also relied on geographical advantages to delay the powerful Qin army for 3 years. If it weren't for Zhao Guo's own shortage of food and grass, it may have been delayed until Baiqi withdrew his troops.It can be said that it is normal for a war with hundreds of thousands of troops to fight for a year or so. On the contrary, it is a rare exception that Xu Wei did not fight for two months.

Of course, the Huns and Xianbei do not have strong logistical capabilities to entrust Xu Wei for a year or a half, but it can still be done in a few months!

After Wang Yong spoke, the army couldn't think of any good way to support Shuofang County, because it was really too far away.

After a long time, Wang Ge said: "Shuai Qu, Shuofang can only rely on himself to resist the 3 Xianbei army, but as long as Wang Lei is strong and clear, relying on the assistance of Linrong City and tens of thousands of troops, and the Xianbei people will not attack the city, I think there will be no problem holding on until it snows! After the snow falls, the Xianbei people will naturally retreat!"

Ning Chen said: "That's right! Qu Shuai Xianbei people don't know how to attack the city at all, and Qu Shuai won't forget that the 10 Xianbei army did not break through Pingcheng Wubao, which was stationed by 3000 people last year. Although Rongcheng is not as strong as Pingcheng Wubao , but Wang Lei's army is also larger than Pingcheng Wubao, and these Xianbei people are only 3 people, no matter how you look at Linrong City, it will not be easier than Xianbei people to break through!"

But Huang Long, who was always behind, said, "Shuai Qu, it's not impossible!"

Huang Long has recently become a school lieutenant, and there is no way for the Tengjia Army to lose talents. An experienced veteran like Huang Long, after learning the various systems of the Tengjia Army, is promoted very quickly. After a battle between men, he was promoted two ranks to become a military commander, and after attacking Yanmen Pass, he was promoted to a rank to become a lieutenant. Of course, Xu Wei's promotion is also related to Xu Wei's intentional promotion. After all, he is an officer with combat experience in the Tengjia Army. Too rare.After all, Huang Long is also a third-rate general who appears in the game!
Hearing this, Xu Wei asked, "What can I do?"

Huang Longdao: "Last year we fought against the Xianbei people. Everyone was worried that they would not be the opponents of the Xianbei people, so they let Wang Lei break through Khantan Mountain and cut off Helian's food supply. Although the situation is different now, we can use the same strategy. , this year we have severely damaged the western Xianbei people, plus the Xianbei people we absorbed, the entire western Xianbei people lost 10 people, and now they have put out 6 young and strong, so the western Xianbei people should have no troops in the desert Defense, we only need to send a battalion of 5000 cavalry to the territory of the western Xianbei people, and make him turn upside down, I am afraid that these Xianbei people will immediately retreat when they know the news."

"In this way, the only ones we have to face are the Huns, and with the strength of our Tengjia army, it should be a breeze to wipe out the 8 Huns army!"

Xu Wei immediately applauded when he heard this trick!

Depend on!After becoming stronger, he even forgot the tricks he used last year. Sure enough, his brain will shrink when he grows muscles.

Seeing Xu Wei applaud, the other generals also applauded!

Xu Wei said: "I will give you 1 cavalry, are you sure that when the Xianbei break Linrong City and force them to retreat!"

Huang Long said: "Shuai Qu gave me some generals who are familiar with the grasslands of the Xianbei people in the west, and my subordinates are willing to issue military orders!"

Xu Wei said: "There is no need to issue a military order. Our Tengjia Army is not interested in this. I will give you [-] cavalry, one man and three horses. I only ask you to repel the Xianbei attack as quickly as possible!"

Huang Long said: "No!"

Xu Wei looked at the generals and said: "The Xianbei people already have a solution, now let's talk about how to deal with the Huns!"

Now the hall became lively. Compared with the Xianbei, the Huns were much easier to fight.

Wang Ge said with a smile: "It's easy to deal with the Huns. As long as they cross the Yellow River, we will use the navy to cut off their retreat, and we will close the door and beat the dog!"

Yes!There are also sailors in the Tengjia Army, but in Xu Wei's opinion, this should be called a water transport team. Fighting is secondary, and it mainly helps the Tengjia Army transport the goods of Mayi to other places in Dahan.

The Tengjia Army has two naval divisions with 5000 people, one of which travels along the Sanggan River, and the other connects the entire Yellow River. It can be said that Mayi is the most important force for contacting external supplies.

Wang Yong said confidently: "Then when our armored cavalry charge, the tens of thousands of Huns will definitely be defeated. I bet they will never be able to withstand the charge of our heavy cavalry!"

Iron armored heavy cavalry is Mayi's new ace troop, thanks to the thousands of Xiliang horses that Dong Zhuo sold to Xu Wei. Xiliang war horses carry heavy loads and charge fast. It can be said that they are the most suitable war horses for heavy cavalry in the entire Han Dynasty. .

After Xu Wei got these horses, he formed 3000 armored heavy cavalry, and as soon as such heavy cavalry appeared, they were loved by everyone in Mayi. The armored horses were like ancient mythical beasts. Every general saw these horses, They all caressed like seeing their own daughter-in-law, and vowed to ride such a war horse.

At the beginning, in order to compete for the captain of the heavy cavalry battalion, the entire group of captains in Mayi had fought several times. Many relatives and friends turned against each other, fought and made many jokes, just to become the chief officer of this army!

Finally, after Xu Wei thought for a long time, he decided to let Duan Peng, who was born in Xianbei, become the captain of the armored heavy cavalry.

For Duan Peng, he was the Xianbei soldier who killed Helian on the battlefield. Because of his achievements in beheading generals, especially the Xianbei sweat, he was arranged by Xu Wei to study at the Mayi Military Academy. After he came out, he became a soldier directly. Sima was promoted to captain half a year later, but none of the generals Ma Yi objected, even if he was from Xianbei.

In this era, the military merit system of the Warring States Period has not completely disintegrated. The entire Han Dynasty attaches great importance to military merit, and there are two kinds of merit that are the most convincing and convincing on the battlefield. Climbing the city first, these are the two heaviest achievements and the most difficult ones. Not only strength, but luck is also required. Among them, luck is even more important than strength!

Let’s talk about beheading the general and capturing the flag first. The entire Three Kingdoms have fought for more than 100 years, but Guan Yu is the only one who can do it.Guan Yu's command ability is hard to say, but he is really fierce.

Another thing is the achievement of being the first to ascend. A thousand people rushing up may not be able to stand alone. In the history of the Three Kingdoms, there are many cities that have not been broken by tens of thousands of people. Even because they cannot break through the city, everyone simply besieged it. For example, Yuan Shao besieged Gongsun Zan's Beiping for more than a year, and Cao Cao also besieged Lu Bu in Xiapi, and even water attack did not break through the city, which shows how difficult it is to break through the city in this era.That's why it's important to be the first to ascend, and it must be so important that soldiers can forget about death!

Duan Peng beheaded He Lian, such a credit, can be made a marquis by a big man, but now Duan Peng is only allowed to quickly become a school lieutenant, so naturally everyone will not have much opinion.

And Xu Wei found that the Xianbei and other Hu people already accounted for one-third of the Tengjia Army, and the Hu people became more and more important in the Tengjia Army. In order to make these Hu people high in fighting spirit, Xu Wei naturally wanted to It's time to promote a role model, and Duan Peng is the role model set by Xu Wei.
