Chapter 3324 The Cavalry and the Cavalry(1/2)
Chapter 3323 The Cavalry and the Cavalry
The news that the vanguard of the Cavalry Army appeared near Gufeng Mountain was transmitted to Cao Cao by a fast horse of eight hundred miles.
Although Cao Cao and others had such expectations in their hearts, it was still uneasy when they heard the overwhelming information from the cavalry army.
Whether Anyi gains and losses suddenly became less important.
In Cao Cao's tent, the light of the torch brazier shone on everyone's face, as if adding a little bit of oil to everyone. I don't know whether the oil was scared out of cold sweat or the excitement of blood.
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and pondered in the upper head without saying a word.
Cao Hong was the first to speak, and he didn't say anything.
While Cao Hong went down, the other generals were whispering, lowering their voices and constantly whispering.
"The old man Bao's family, after fighting for so many days, failed to defeat Anyi! He also lost many good men in vain. If I were asked to go, I would definitely take Anyi!"
"If you were sure, what would you do? Now let's say this. The defenders in Anyi are all desperate, and can they really fill all their combat power in this broken city?"
"Now that Anyi can't be taken down... What's the point of attacking again in Tianming?"
『Who has the heart to fight tomorrow? Send that old man again...』
『Ahem...』
Jigu's military academy suddenly remembered that in the second half of today, Cao Hong was also supervising the battle, so he quickly swallowed up all the words behind him.
But no matter what these military academies say, the topic is around Anyi City, just as Anyi City is the top priority they have to face.
As for the Cavalry Army, no one dares to say it, no one dares to mention it, and no one dares to stand up with his chest, saying that he can take the head of the Cavalry by thousands of troops...
Just like when I saw foreigners with a big braid in my later generations, I only dared to yell, demonstrate, and insult to my subordinates and their people, but I didn't dare to mention foreigners at all.
During the attack and defense of Anyi, Bao Zhong, who was unfortunately injured in the child, has gone to take care of the child now, so this old guy is naturally the best scapegoat.
As long as you do something, you are afraid you won’t be able to make mistakes?
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and measured in his heart.
Judging from today's offensive and defensive situation, it will be a matter of time before Anyi breaks the city, but now Anyi is not the focus of this war...
No matter how desperate the Pei family struggled, they were at the end of their lives.
The only variable is that the cavalry is coming.
If you can win the cavalry, then Anyi is like a poultry locked in a cage, it just takes more effort to catch it. If you lose, the poultry in this cage may not be able to compensate for the damage!
What's more, if you really get to that point, you can't leave any other casualties like Anyi, which will have some benefits.
However, this is naturally not something Cao Cao said, so Cao Cao looked at Dong Zhao and couldn't help but miss Guo Jia a little.
If you are filial piety here...
Dong Zhao coughed under Cao Cao's eyes, and said slowly: "Lord, wisely... I heard that a strong crossbow cannot penetrate Lu silk, why? A strong crossbow is a sharp weapon, and can penetrate gold and crack stones; while Lu silk is a thin gauze, as light as nothing. However, with the power of a powerful crossbow, it cannot penetrate Lu silk, and the reason behind this is just like the present."
"The strength of the cavalry is like a powerful crossbow. Although the momentum is huge, its subsequent power is weak, like a floating cloud covering the sun, and it will eventually disperse. We only need to stick to our position and resist its sharpness. When its power is weak, the day of victory is just around the corner. This is the way to overcome hardness with softness, which is also the most important military strategy..."
Dong Zhao said, Cao Cao nodded slightly on the surface, but in fact, Cao Cao was not satisfied with Dong Zhao's words.
At this time, even if there are no eight wins and eight defeats, there will be five generals, four schools, and three Shangyou...
Cough cough, without these, how can we inspire people?
But Dong Zhao has always been like this. Flying against the ground is not his strength, so Cao Cao just listened.
The plan originally formulated by Cao Cao and Guo Jia and Dong Zhao was that even if they could not win this time, they would have to consume most of the power of the cavalry, and then use Shandong's manpower to suppress Guanzhong, and finally win the overall strategic situation.
Of course, if you put it more elegantly, it means changing time and space and manpower to exchange advantages, but in fact it means using human lives to fill the pit until Fei Qian is dragged down!
Of course, these things will not be stated explicitly.
However, the treaty of Shanshan Kingdom sent by Fei Qian from the Western Regions was like giving this plan a blow.
Fei Qian also did not directly tell Cao Cao that splitting exchanges and cutting off trade would not make Guanzhong poor. Isn’t that the Shanshan Kingdom alone can make Guanzhong eat for a few years...
Then Cao Cao asked Shanshan to make an appointment to send him to Shandong. On the one hand, it was indeed meaningless to intercept him. On the other hand, he also hoped that the people in Shandong could see the difficulty of dealing with Fei Qian and should be more united. The result was obvious. When the people in Shandong saw that it was difficult, they directly surrendered and stood in the spring and stared blankly.
It’s not that Old Cao doesn’t want to resist the line, nor that Cao Mengde’s Montesquieu’s military strategy is not effective, but that there are too many pig teammates who are dragging their legs.
This is also a common problem in the middle and late feudal dynasties. As more and more officials were in the court, local gentry who controlled rights to take over public power as private property. If you want to fight against the outside world, it would be like wearing shackles and shackles, and fighting with weapons that could be broken at any time.
The reason why Cao Cao still insisted was not because Cao Cao hated Fei Qian, nor because of jealousy, or some other negative emotions, but simply because Cao Cao did not believe that Fei Qian's path could be done!
The Han Dynasty has not been able to make it through three or four hundred years. If you walk out, Feiqian can make it through and walk well?
Although the world is big, there are never many roads that can accommodate.
Yuan Benchu thought that the foundation of the Han Dynasty was his original intention, but he lost his foundation, but he lost his prime. Yuan Gonglu thought that the great Han Dynasty could only walk the road of the world, but in fact he was on a dead end.
What about the other princes?
Cao Cao's thoughts spread out...
Dong Zhuo did not have very outstanding talents.
Tao Qian did not end up well because of humility.
Han Fu, ah, is named Fu but dies in a turbid place.
Sun Ce had no choice but to lose his life, Liu Bei had no choice but to be displaced, Sun Quan had no choice but to be limited to Jiangdong...
Only this Fei Qian...
Cao Cao's eyes narrowed more and more.
really……
So what about yourself?
Hold!
Cao Cao slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "It's time to come, thinking too much is useless! The whole army is united and fight against the cavalry together! He sent orders to prepare more sand, soil, trees, traps and horses, and fight against the cavalry!"
Everyone responded with sternly!
...
...
The Yuncheng Basin was originally a rich place in Hedong and was the wing of the Yinheluo area of Henan, Henan.
This place is actually quite interesting.
Hedong County existed in the Western Han Dynasty and was directly under the jurisdiction of the Sili School Command. In other words, at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Hedong was more inclined to Guanzhong, but in the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to its unique geographical location, it became a weather vane for the struggle between Guanzhong and Guandong forces.
During the Western Han Dynasty, Hedong County was sandwiched between the two corners of Guanzhong and Hebei, which was not only the link between the two sides, but also the focus of the struggle during the confrontation between the two sides. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the capital was set in Luoyang and the political and economic center was transferred to the Heluo Plain, which made Hedong County, as a key link on the Guanzhong-Heluo Road, significantly further strengthened its strategic position in imperial power politics.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hedong County often became a bargaining chip for the emperor to hit Shandong, but it would quickly throw it aside after using it.
It's a bit like a chamber pot.
After using it for too much, Hedong County's belly is of course very angry.
Therefore, in the Yuncheng Basin in Hedong, it is natural for the gentry and gentry to be intestinal intestines.
At this time, the three-color commander flag representing the cavalry was flying high in the cavalry camp, and Fei Qian, Xun Chen and Xu Chu were discussing military affairs in the big tent.
The main affairs are still headed by Xun Chen and Xu Chu, and other civil servants and military academies are just listening.
If you walk slowly, you will be more prepared in your actions.
If the matters are fully reached, the execution will be more orderly.
"According to the scouts, the Pei family in Anyi City is still defending. However, Cao's army attacked very quickly... Anyi may have suffered heavy losses..." Xun Chen whispered.
Fei Qian nodded slightly, with a calm expression.
He could send troops from the army and send cavalry to support Anyi at any time, but he was not willing to do so.
Obviously, Cao Cao set up a huge formation near Anyi, and using cavalry to attack Anyi without the cover of infantry and artillery is undoubtedly a similar act of stooping.
The cavalry has indeed an advantage against infantry. There is no problem with bullying short legs in terms of movement speed and transfer range, but Cao's army will not be so simple to compete with the Hussar Cavalry on the same track...
It doesn't make much sense to just rescue Anyi.
Fei Qian must defeat Cao Cao's main force and achieve a decisive victory is the right thing to do.
Xu Chu said on the side: "General Zhang sent someone to send a message saying that he discovered the movements of Cao's army... Will the Cao army be ready to invade our rear part by detour, and also launch a surprise attack on Linfen and cut off our food route?"
Fei turned his head and asked Xun Chen, "What if my friend thinks?"
Xun Chen pondered for a moment and said firmly: "This is a common method of Cao's army! Cao Mengde, who is always happy to cut off other people's food channels... Therefore, Cao's army must have a partial army, either attacking our flanks, invading the rear, or even intercepting the food channels and destroying our baggage. However, with General Zhang protecting the flanks, it should be worry-free."
"Yes." Fei Qian nodded, "Sorting his troops to patrol the east side of Emei Ridge to strictly prevent Cao's army from infiltration and attacking."
Xun Chen responded and wrote down the order.
"The front army had already contacted the Cao army. When the Cao army saw our soldiers, they hurried in the camp or walked away," Xu Chu asked again, "Do you dare to ask if the lord can attack him in division?"
Fei Qian thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "This is mostly a plan for Cao's army. It is better to cut off one finger than to hurt his five fingers. Cao Mengde is still important for Cao Mengde, and it is not necessary to attack everywhere. The cavalry's current responsibility is to protect the wings of the infantry and advance slowly."
Xu Chu also received the order.
Then some military-related issues were discussed.
To be continued...
