Soldiers come to the world

Wang Ping's swordsmanship was neat, and he fought Wei Yan for more than [-] rounds, but he still had no flaws. But at this time, hundreds of spearmen of the Han army rushed ashore. Covering more and more troops coming ashore to cross the river, Wang Ping saw that the situation was unfavorable, so he made an opening, turned his horse and fled, shouting: "Retreat quickly!"

Cao Jun's crossbowmen in the forest followed Wang Ping and retreated one after another. Wei Yan worried that the opponent had an ambush in the forest, so he stopped his men from pursuing, and then ordered the soldiers to cross the river. Soon, the two thousand spear troops all crossed the Yangshui, and quickly assembled the whole team on the shore.

Wei Yan led two thousand troops to rush towards Cao Cao's defense line on the north bank. At this time, fierce bow and arrow battles broke out on both sides of Yangshui. Cao Jun, who was behind the bunker, pressed hard, making Cao Jun unable to fight back.

At this time, Wang Ping led five hundred Cao troops and ran back, shouting: "Retreat back to the camp immediately!"

Cao Jun hiding behind the bunker ran to the north one after another. Dozens of people ran a little slower and were shot by the random arrows of the Han army and fell to the ground screaming. The rest of the soldiers ran desperately and followed Wang Ping to Heisong The village was withdrawn.

However, Wei Yan led his army to kill from the east and caught up with some Cao soldiers. Hundreds of Cao soldiers were so frightened that they knelt down and surrendered. Wei Yan hated him so much that he refused to accept the surrender. The corpses of more than a hundred Cao soldiers were strewn all over the ground, all stabbed to death by spears.

Wang Ping was also frightened and did not dare to stay. He led the remaining [-] soldiers and fled all the way to Heisong Ridge.

The ambushes on the opposite bank had been cleared away, and Zhao Yun again ordered to build bridges to cross the river. In just one hour, the Han army built three pontoon bridges. Eight thousand soldiers quickly crossed the water, joined Wei Yanjun, and continued to Heishongling. advance.

. . . . . . . [

Just the day before Liu Jing's army started the Northern Expedition, Cao Cao also led [-] troops to Jicheng, Tianshui County. Delivering supplies to Wudu County, it is judged that the main force of the Han army must go northward on Qishan Road.

To conquer Guanzhong, an army of at least [-] is needed, and a large amount of food, grass and materials need to be mobilized in the process. There may be some small strategies in the specific battle, but in terms of strategy, Liu Jing can't use tricks to follow the path of Qishan.

At this time, Cao Cao had deployed 12 troops on the front line of Qishan Road. Almost all of his elite troops had been mobilized here, and Cao's army had a geographical advantage. Cao Cao had great confidence in this battle. confidence.

In the state yamen hall, Cao Cao was discussing the countermeasures for the war with his counselors Xun You and Chen Qun. In front of them was a medium-sized sand table, one foot in length and one foot in width, which clearly showed the topography of Guanzhong and Hanzhong. "Fuck" took half a year to make in order to capture Hanzhong, and it finally came in handy.

"I'm thinking, if we defeat Liu Jing's army in this battle, whether we should continue to march and capture Hanzhong in one fell swoop."

Chen Qun is only in his thirties this year. He is upright and has always been known for sticking to principles. Although he offended Cao Cao several times and was punished, Cao Cao immediately pardoned him and apologized to him after his anger dissipated. , From the beginning to the end, he attached great importance to Chen Qun. In this Guanzhong battle, Chen Qun actually served as the deputy military adviser.

When Chen Qun heard that Cao Cao wanted to continue to take Hanzhong, he immediately said: "If some prerequisites are met, I don't think it is impossible to take Hanzhong, but the most urgent thing now is to improve Qishan's defense."

The implication is that it is too early to talk about capturing Hanzhong. Cao Cao was a little displeased and asked: "What conditions must be met, Changwen might as well make it clear."

"The condition Weichen refers to is that the Han army can be completely defeated, at least half of its army must be wiped out. If we do not meet this condition, we will be encircled and counterattacked by them, which will eventually affect the gains and losses of Longxi."

Cao Cao was one-sided in silence, and then asked Xun You, "What does Gongda think?"

Xun You smiled slightly, "Frankly speaking, I support Changwen's opinion. If the battle reaches a certain point, and it is indeed possible to capture Hanzhong, then it is not a bad idea to follow the trend, but now... the prime minister is indeed a little bit Thinking too far."

Cao Cao respected Xun You's opinion very much. Since even he said the same thing, maybe he really thought too much, he laughed dryly, then turned back and asked Chen Qun, "Just now the long article said that we should improve Qi Shan's defense. Is there a loophole?"

Chen Qun said frankly and honestly: "The current defense of Qishan was planned by Mr. Zhang alone. He didn't ask for the general's opinion too much, and I firmly opposed it, but Mr. Zhang refused to listen. Now I hope the prime minister can find out the problem."

Cao Cao's face immediately became gloomy, "Long article, tell me in detail, what's wrong?"

Chen Qun picked up the wooden pole, pointed to the Qishan area, and said, "Now the Qishan defense deployed by Mr. Zhang is divided into four parts. Yu Jin is in charge of the south of Qishan, Zang Ba is in charge of the east of Qishan, Li Dian is in charge of the west of Qishan, and Hao Zhao leads [-] troops. Deployed to the north of Qishan, but not to support the south, but only to defend Jicheng, so [-] troops have been thrown out, and each is in line, but can it really prevent the Han army from going north?" [

Before Chen Qun could finish speaking, Cao Cao slammed his fist on the sand table frame, "This evil obstacle almost missed me!"

Cao Cao has experienced many battles, so he can see the problems in this deployment at a glance, that is, it is easy to be defeated by the enemy's concentrated forces. It can be said that this kind of deployment is a taboo for military strategists.

Chen Qun continued: "Of course, Mr. Zhang has his reasons for deploying in this way, because General Xiahou deployed in this way before, and it is also true that it is difficult to garrison large-scale troops in the dangerous places around Qishan, so I did not say that it was wrong. It’s just that it’s still being perfected.”

Cao Cao also knew that Chen Qun was trying to save face. After all, he was his son. Xia Houyuan's original deployment was to prevent the small army from Hanzhong from going north to support Ma Chao. It was okay to deal with an army of about [-]. There are [-] to [-] main forces of the Han army, and it is obviously impossible to deploy it like this.

Cao Cao waved his hand, "You don't have to speak for him, it's okay for my stupid son to go to the north to fight the Xiongnu, but he is not suitable to command such a large-scale battle, I know it well, that's why I came to Tianshui County in person. "

Cao Cao calmed down his anger, and asked Chen Qun again, "Tell me about your plan?"

"Weichen's plan is to cancel Qishan's four-sided defense, just set up a defensive point of 2 people north of Qishan. No matter how many troops Liu Jing has, they can't go north if he doesn't pull out this defensive point, otherwise his logistics There will be problems with support."

Cao Cao nodded. He realized very early on that the biggest weakness of Liu Jing's army in the northern expedition was the logistics and food support. He had to make use of this weakness to make a fuss.

He glanced at Xun You again, and Xun You smiled slightly, "Actually, the prime minister wrongly blamed the Second Young Master. It was my suggestion for the Second Young Master to deploy troops like this."

Both Cao Cao and Chen Qun were taken aback. How could it be Xun You's suggestion?Cao Cao asked puzzledly: "Why did Gongda teach him such a troop? It's clear..."

Xun You smiled faintly, "The so-called soldiers never tire of deceit, and if Liu Jing is not given a little sweetness, how can he go north with confidence, does the Prime Minister understand what I mean?"

Cao Cao nodded, "I understand what Gongda means. It is to lure Liu Jing to go north in order to cooperate with the chain plan, so that he will have a heart to underestimate the enemy. So what should we do now?"

"It's easy!"

Xun You stroked his beard with a smile and said, "Order Yu Jin, Zang Ba and Li Dian to burn all food and supplies, and immediately withdraw their troops to the north to lengthen the Han army's food supply line, especially Yu Jin, to immediately abandon Heishongzhai and go north."

Cao Cao knew that if Yu Jin abandoned his camp to go north at this time, he would be chased by the Han army and his entire army would probably be wiped out, but Xun You's strategy was very clear, and Yu Jin's army was just a bait. Command Xia Houyuan to come see me!"

. . . . . . . .

Zhao Yun launched two tentative attacks on Heisong Ridge, both of which ended in failure. Heisong Ridge's easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain and 5000 defenders gave Cao's army a firm defensive advantage, requiring at least 2 men In order to conquer Cao Jun's camp.

After Zhao Yun lost nearly a thousand attacking soldiers, he stopped attacking and set up a large camp on the north bank of Yangshui, waiting for the arrival of the main force of the Han army. Three days later, the [-] main force led by Liu Jing crossed Yangshui and entered the camp. camp.

So far, Liu Jing is still very satisfied with Zhao Yun's record, especially the capture of Licheng at the cost of not killing a single soldier, which is even more admirable for his brilliant strategy. The first credit goes to Pang Tong.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Jing was discussing the military situation with everyone and listening to Zhao Yun's report. Zhao Yun admired Yu Jin's deputy general Wang Ping, and praised him as a young general with great prospects for his courage and strategy.

Zhang Ren laughed and said: "Speaking of which, I still know Wang Ping. He is from Berkshire. He used to be a famous swordsman and ranger in Berkshire. Later, he wanted to join the army as a general, but Liu Zhang didn't like his status as a ranger, so he didn't agree." He joined the Yizhou army, and later heard that he went to the north, so he probably joined the Cao army."

Liu Jing nodded and said: "Since you are from Berkshire, you can fight for it. Liu Zhang doesn't want it, but I, Liu Jing, want it. This matter will take time, so let's wait for a while. Now I want to see Cao Cao's army in Qishan deployment diagram."

Zhao Yun quickly took out a blueprint and handed it to Liu Jing, "This is the deployment of Cao's army based on the intelligence of several scouts. Please have a look at it, Zhou Mu."

Liu Jing took it and looked at it carefully for a while, then walked to the sand table, and inserted a few blue flags on the corresponding seats on the sand table according to the map. He looked at it for a while, then smiled and said to everyone: "Look The deployment of Cao Jun is very interesting."

Everyone gathered around, Fazheng said with a smile: "We are stationed in four places, at least tens of miles apart, shouldn't we attack them one by one?"

Pang Tong also said aside: "As far as I know, this should be Cao Zhang's deployment. It is a continuation of Xia Houyuan's practice in the past, but the number of troops is increased. I think that if it was Cao Cao, he would never deploy it like this. "Cao" has already arrived in Longxi, so is there any possibility of re-deploying Cao's army?"

As soon as the words fell, a personal guard reported at the door: "Report to Zhou Mu, the scout has important information to report!"

"Let him in!"

After a while, a scout head quickly walked into the big tent, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Qizhou Mu, just this morning, the Cao army stationed on the east and west roads of Qishan has withdrawn to the north, and all the supplies that cannot be taken away have been withdrawn." All food and grass were burned."

This news made Liu Jing laugh at Pang Tong and the others: "This news came too timely. It seems that Cao Cao has mastered the power of defense and denied Cao Zhang's deployment."

Pang Tong thought for a while and said: "This must be Cao Cao's shrinking defense line, and the camp at Heisongling is no exception. Yu Jin should have received an order. If I'm not wrong, Yu Jin will withdraw his troops tonight. , and retreated quietly."

Zhao Yun next to him hesitated and said: "But the Cao camp in Heisongling is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack. It would be a pity to give up like this. Maybe Cao Cao will consider Yu Jin's real situation and order him to stick to the camp."

Liu Jing shook his head, "Zilong, what you said is wrong. The Black Pine Ridge camp is indeed difficult for your [-] vanguard army to capture, but what if it is an army of [-]? I will not attack the mountain road, but from the Attacking from the other side of the ridge, the Black Pine Ridge camp will be breached in at most two hours, and the five thousand Cao army will be wiped out. I know Yu Jin, he will never put himself in a desperate situation, so I agree with Pang Junjun’s opinion, Tonight, Yu Jin will definitely withdraw his troops at night."

Zhao Yun didn't insist anymore, he himself was not sure, thought for a moment, Zhao Yun said again: "In this case, then I will immediately send scouts to investigate the information, and keep abreast of the movement of the forbidden army."

Liu Jing nodded and smiled, "This is the most effective countermeasure!"
