Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 396
Chapter 399
"Creating something out of nothing, I'm sure Zhang Wen's trick is to learn from Ran Ming's 36 tricks of creating something out of nothing!" Xie Ai's face was flushed with excitement, and he clapped his hands and smiled: "This exercise is getting more and more interesting, Zhang Wen If you don’t make a move, you’ll be dead. Once you make a move, you’ll be cheating the sky and crossing the sea. However, General Dong will be dizzy if you make a move. Now it’s something out of nothing. "

"What does the lord mean?" Hu Niang asked cautiously, "Isn't Zhang Wen's purpose to attack Luoyang?"

"Of course!" Xie Ai said: "If this is not an exercise, maybe Zhang Wen will take Luoyang by surprise. Relying on the tall walls of Luoyang City, we will confront Dong Run. It is a pity that the exercise is an exercise after all, and the strong city of Luoyang is performing an exercise At that time, the advantage of defense will not be brought into play at all. Instead, Dong Run, who has many soldiers and strong strength, will take advantage of his own advantages and win in one battle!"

Xie Ai took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions and said to Hu Niang: "Tiger Niang, go to the director department to see the latest moves of the blue army!"

The director department was also organized according to Ran Ming's suggestion. The purpose was the same as that of the exercise directors of later generations. Their responsibilities were to test the eligibility of the exercise, the practicality of the tactics and tactics, and to issue and evaluate the results of the offensive and defensive teams.This time facing the four-nation observation group, the director department will announce the progress of the exercise. For example, if the red team arrives at a certain place, and what kind of attack or defense the blue team has carried out, they will go through it and selectively inform the observation group members.

After a while, the tiger mother came back, and she only brought back a piece of news: "Huai County has fallen!"

Xie Ai walked back and forth in the tent, his head was running fast, after about two quarters, Xie Ai suddenly laughed loudly and said: "It's so warm, it really has both wisdom and courage!"

Although Hu Niang knows a little bit about the art of war, she is not as knowledgeable as Xie Ai. Although she knows every move of the exercise like Xie Ai, she just doesn't understand Zhang Wen's next move. Come, very disorganized, seem to do whatever they want.

"My lord guessed Zhang Wen's intention?"

Xie Ai narrowed his eyes, and said lightly: "Although I don't know Zhang Wen's real intention, I know that Zhang Wen should have left Xiangshan at this time."

"Leave Xiangshan?"

Xie Ai nodded and said: "Yes, in terms of terrain, the vicinity of Xiangshan is the Huanghuai (North China) plain, which is the most suitable for large-scale troops to enter the battle, let alone Dong Run's 10,000+ army, even if He has an army of one million, and he can fully deploy it here. Xiangshan is the place for the decisive battle. For the blue side, they are already at a disadvantage in numbers. In terms of combat effectiveness, the blue side is far behind the red side. .If Zhang Wen is not stupid, he will definitely not be the main battlefield in Yudong!"

"Tiger Niang understands a little bit. This is the so-called turning passive into active. Just like two years ago, Wei Emperor Ran Min discovered that Anxi's terrain was more conducive to cavalry operations, so they withdrew to Liantai, restricted by the terrain. Cavalry combat craftsman advantage!"

"Very good, very good!" Xie Ai looked at Hu Niang with a smile, feeling a pang of regret in her heart. If Hu Niang was not a daughter, she would definitely be a commander in the army.

Although the appearance of Tiger Niang is cold, it gives you a feeling that it is difficult to touch, but it is this kind of coldness that increases the majesty of the commander.What's more, she has a very calm mind and is hardly affected by emotions. More importantly, she has a very strong learning ability and likes to infer other things from one example.

Just then, it began to rain in the sky.

Bean-sized raindrops hit the tent, making a crackling sound.

Hu Niang said: "It's really annoying, it rains a lot this year!"

"What did you say?"

"It's annoying!"

"Not this sentence, but the latter sentence!"

"It's raining a lot this year!"

"Yu Shui, why did I forget this, mistake, mistake!" Xie Ai said: "Tiger Niang, bring the map!"

Xie Ai's map was not provided by Wei Jun's director department. As a map provided by the director, it cannot be called a map. Apart from the general direction of the Yellow River, there is basically no reminder of the mountains and rivers. The entire map is empty. There are a few place names, and the distance between the cities, and even the directions are not accurate.

Using this map to command a war is no different from committing suicide.

Xie Ai is different. He has his own intelligence system. The mountains, rivers, cities, passes, official roads, side roads, and even small roads in the entire Central Plains are all accurately marked.

If Ran Min sees this map here, he will definitely be surprised.Because the accuracy of this map is even three points more accurate than the giant sand table in Ran Minyu's study that is four feet six feet wide and two feet four feet long!
Xie Ai said: "Yanshi, Luhun, Xingyang, Luoyang, Yichuan!"

Tiger Niang quickly found the detailed maps of these cities from a thick stack of maps, and stitched them together on the desk.

Xie Ai looked at the map of Yanshi in detail.Suddenly Xie Ai's eyes stopped on Yanshi.Yanshi is adjacent to Gongxian County in the east, and Gongxian County is adjacent to Zhongyue Songshan Mountain in the south, the natural moat of the Yellow River in the north, Hulao Pass in the east, Heishi Pass in the west, and Xuanyuan Pass in the south. Because of it in the past dynasties.Because of the location of Luoyang, the ancient capital, it is known as "the key to the Eastern Capital" in history.

According to the latest deployment of the director's department, there are only 500 defenders in Gong County at this time, and the closest unit of the Red Army to Gong County is the Sima Yang Kai Department of the Sound Army with [-] people.

This is an army composed of all crossbowmen, and nine of them are excellent archers. If they are used to defend the city, they can exert more than double the combat effectiveness of others.

"Yeah?" Xie Ai exclaimed, "How could this happen? How could this happen?"

Tiger Niang said: "My lord, what's the matter?"

"Yellow River, Songshan Mountain, Yishui?" Xie Ai compared the terrain of Yanshi with his fingers and asked suddenly: "How many months is the flood season of the Yellow River section in Yanshi?"

Hu Niang said: "Usually, the flood season of the Yellow River is more than a month later than the rainy season in the south. The rainy season in the south is April (lunar calendar), while the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River belong to the flood season from May to September. During this period , the water level of the Yellow River has increased significantly, and there is always the danger of breaking the embankment!"

Hearing this, Xie Ai showed an inscrutable expression on his face, "Look, General Dong has fun watching!"

Ningling, where the commander-in-chief of the Red Army is stationed.Dong Run, who was completely passive and fighting fires everywhere, was now like an intelligence center, where cavalry scouts, scouts, and messengers coming and going from south to north came in and out.

In just a few days, the corners of Dong Run's mouth were covered with blisters.

Dong Run looked at the huge sand table of Yuzhou and Sizhou like an ant on a hot pot, and he said to himself like a demonic disease: "Zhang Wen, what do you want, old boy? There is something that we really want to do." Gun, let's fight!"

To say that this exercise is really unfair to Dong Run.Not only did he have to defend more than 100 cities in a land of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, but also in this exercise, the traditional advantages of the Wei army were not reflected at all.If you want to talk about Wei Jun's fine traditions, it is definitely notorious for his life.No matter how many enemies there are, they dare to fight to the end.

Especially in adversity and desperate situation, they often burst out with unimaginable fighting power. Even if they are surrounded by heavy siege, even if they are outnumbered, they will fight bravely to the end.

Like in the original history, a young and immoral Prince Ran Zhi, who was unable to convince the public, guarded an isolated city with reinforcements outside but no food and grass inside, and he could persist for more than 100 days.

Wei Jun's fighting power and willpower cannot be described by common sense at all. To describe them in a bad way, they are all a bunch of lunatics.If they are captured by the enemy, the battle will not end at all, but just the beginning. They will use the terrain to fight the enemy house by house and street to the end.

But in the exercise, this fine tradition cannot be reflected. After all, no matter how close to the reality the exercise is, it is impossible to use the lives of the soldiers to perform it.In the exercise, one and a half times the superior force surrounded the enemy, and after one and a half hours, the surrounded party would be judged to have failed.

But in fact, even Murong Ke can't guarantee that he can use one and a half times the number of troops to destroy the Wei army in the encirclement. If five times the Jin Dynasty army encircles the Wei army, it is still unknown who will destroy who!

"Report, the third battalion of the Shesheng Battalion is urgent!"

"Shoot Thirteen?" Dong Run felt anxious when he heard the news.During this period of time, the blue army's false and real attacks made Dong Run dizzy, and finally found that most of the blue army was a small group of troops, and Dong Run also came to divide the troops against each other.The blue army was basically divided into Qu and Tun as independent combat units, and Dong Run relied on the large number of troops, so he adopted the Ministry as a unit.The establishment of the Wei army follows the military system of the Eastern Han Dynasty and Cao Wei, which is the two-five system. A military force is basically two pieces, about 1000 people, and individual departments command 500 people, and there are also [-] troops.

Dong Run knew that Yang Kai's troops were the closest to Yanshi, so he shouted: "Quick pass!"

After a while, the courier handed over a red bamboo tube to Dong Run.Dong Run opened the bamboo tube and took out the secret letter inside.The secret letter is very short, counting to ten, telling Dong Run and Zhang Wen.

Both Jiang Gan's banners appeared in Yanshi, and Yang Kai was blocked by a large number of blue troops at Heishiguan, making it difficult to move an inch.He has launched seven village-scale attacks on Heishiguan. According to the judgment of the exercise director's department, his troops have lost five and a half villages, and more than [-] people have lost their combat effectiveness.

Dong Run knew the combat effectiveness of the shooting battalion. Whether it was attacking a key city or defending the city, the combat effectiveness of the shooting battalion would be one and a half times that of an ordinary army. three.

If the director department did not cheat, it can be guessed that the blue army at Heishiguan has at least [-] soldiers and horses!
