Shuhan

That night.

The night is dark and windy.

Wei army camp.

In the stables of the military camp, fat and strong war horses were replenishing water before the battle.

Then eat something simple to maintain your strength.

of course
Don’t eat too much of pasture, beans, and the like.

If it is full, the war horse will not be able to run.

Yan Rou and Tian Yu each rectified their troops and inspected their weapons, armor, arrows and so on.

The second watch will arrive in an instant.

The time has come, but the order has not come.

Do you really think that I, Tian Yu, can be kneaded by you at will?
Don't respect me?

Xia Houshang looked at Tian Yu and Yan Rou without saying much.

Xia Houshang immediately shook his head and said: "General, be careful. The Commander-in-Chief ordered: You two will attack Puban City immediately. You must arrive at Puban City at noon tomorrow and capture Puban. If you fail to arrive within the time limit, you will be punished by military law!"

Just when both of them were about to explode, Xia Houshang hurried forward at this moment.

Disobey!

It must not be like this!
He, Yan Rou, even risked being accused of disobeying His Majesty, and wanted to pluck out the moth in this country.

"Niang Xipi's!"

Although you, Sima Yi, are the governor-general, you don't have any merit. You are just a minister who was lucky enough to be promoted.

The more Yan Rou thought about it, the angrier she became. If this Sima Yi was really incompetent, then the Wei Dynasty would be destroyed in his hands.

Yan Rou and Tian Yu already had impatient looks on their faces.

"But Sima Yi deceived us? Humph!"

Then I, Tian Yu, won’t respect you anymore!

"Two generals!"

This place is fifty or sixty miles away from Puban City.

In fact, if you see these two people looking like they are about to burst into flames, they may not be willing to say more to you if you are chatting at this time.

Tian Yu was also very unhappy.

One general is incompetent and the three armies are exhausted!

He, Yan Rou, absolutely cannot sit idly by and watch this kind of thing!

In ordinary marching conditions, the speed of cavalry is usually about 15 to 20 kilometers per hour.

"What's going on? The governor's military order hasn't been sent yet? Are you trying to trick me into waiting?"

Disobey me fiercely!

In emergencies or when preparing for battle, the cavalry's speed can be increased to 20 to 30 kilometers per hour.

For long-distance rapid marches, the speed of cavalry can reach 40 to 50 kilometers per hour.

Under certain circumstances the speed can even reach 70 to 80 kilometers per day.

Fifty or sixty miles, half a day, to be honest, it was a lot of pressure.

There may be some resentment of Sima Yi hidden in it.

You two roughnecks are so ignorant of etiquette, and now I’m going to make you suffer!
Sima Yi's broadmindedness was obvious to all.

He really wants to take revenge!

Yan Rou and Tian Yu looked embarrassed, but as if they had thought of something, they immediately said: "If it doesn't arrive at noon tomorrow, please behead me!"

After that, Yan Rou and Tian Yu led the Wuhuan cavalry and the Xiongnu cavalry respectively, rushed out of the camp, quickly crossed the pontoon bridge, arrived at the north bank of the Yellow River, and then went straight up the river towards Puban City.

When the Wei army's cavalry left the city, the Han army's military commander who was hiding in the dark immediately sent the news to Tongguan and into Fengling City.

This is also the reason why Sima Yi concealed his attack on Puban City.

Is he trying to show off?
Of course not.

It’s cool to show off, but the real reason is:
The Wei army was almost infiltrated into a sieve by Jian Junsi.

If he had revealed his purpose, I am afraid that the Han army would have been prepared on that day, and his plan to attack the east and west and attack Huanglong would be useless.

It may even be possible for the Han army to take advantage of their tactics and lead to a major defeat! The reason why the Wei army lost to the Han army on the frontal battlefield before was that Sima Yi had already summed up his experience and lessons.

It's not that the soldiers are not elite and the armor and weapons are weak, but in terms of intelligence, there are too many weak Han troops.

Whatever happened among the Wei army, the Han army would quickly know the information and be able to respond.

As for news about what happened among the Han army, the Wei army often had to delay it for a day or two, or even several days, before they got the news.

The difference between the two is really not that small.

Sima Yi had previously asked Cao Pi to purge the school affairs office system and purge the school affairs office intelligence system in Wei.

But the results are minimal.

The Han army's military department system has a strict organizational structure, but the superior and subordinate levels are not clearly defined. If any link is discovered, it will not be uprooted, but will only suffer a slight loss.

As for the secret agents of the school affairs office, if they are caught, they will pull up the carrots and bring them to the mud, and they will often suffer heavy losses.

of course
This cannot be described only by differences in systems.

Even if the monarchs and ministers of the Wei State did not admit it in their hearts, they knew that the general trend of the world was gradually moving towards the Han State.

The people's hearts are with Han.

There are too many young men in Wei State.

The difficulty of the inter-military activities is much lower.

On the other hand, it is much more difficult for the school affairs office to operate in enemy territory.

But there are some deeper reasons.

That is because the aristocratic family in the Wei Kingdom is powerful. If the military affairs incident involves the aristocratic family, Cao Pi cannot severely punish him. He can only deceive the family with small punishments and big warnings.

After all, Cao Pi had to rely on the strength of the aristocratic family, so he couldn't be killed with a stick.

But it's different here in Han.

If anyone dares to collude with the school affairs office and confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans, they are really not just talking about it.

Liu Chan can really do it.

It is precisely because of these differences that the capabilities of the intelligence systems of Han and Wei were quite different.

but.
Even in such adversity, Sima Yi wanted to knock out a few of Han's front teeth!
After all, this battle is related to his future, Sima Zhongda!

The night is hazy and the autumn wind is bleak. The Wei army's iron hooves were like thunder, and the dust was billowing. They marched for fifty or sixty miles in a hurry.

In the night, their armor flashed with cold light, as if an unstoppable force was rushing towards Puban City.

On the way, the Han army blocked one after another.

However, the morale of the Wei army was high, and the soldiers fought bravely to break through the Han army's defense lines several times.

On the battlefield, arrows rained like rain, and the sound of swords clashing was endless.

Every blockade was a fierce battle, but the Wei army relied on its tenacious fighting will and excellent tactical coordination to repeatedly break through the encirclement.

Finally, the outline of Puban City loomed in the night.

The eyes of the Wei army officers and soldiers brightened up, as if they saw the dawn of victory.

This long journey is coming to an end.

"General Du Liao, I see that your troops are going to attack Pubanjin and cut off the Han army's retreat. I will lead the army to take Puban City!"

Pubanjin?
Yan Rou was stunned for a moment. Although Tian Yu seemed to be striving for merit, what he said was not unreasonable.

Moreover, the 10,000-horse infantry army could not fully deploy in front of Puban City.

Also.

The city of Puban City is strong, and it may not be possible to defeat it.

Yan Rou's eyes flashed and she said, "That's it."

In front of Puban City, Yan Rou divided his troops to attack the Pubanjin camp.

Tian Yu, on the other hand, ordered the cavalry to dismount and assist the soldiers in building siege equipment. The rest of the soldiers took advantage of this precious time to eat something and take a nap to replenish their energy.

Tian Yu only gave half an hour.

And after that, they will storm Puban City and achieve great success!

There are still four thousand words left in the evening. (End of chapter)
