Chapter 9 The long editorial debate, the desire to start a fire attack
Changshe North, Weishui.
"According to the previous battle situation explored by the scouts, the Yellow Turban Thief who besieged Changshe City this time is the personal disciple of the Yellow Turban Thief's first horn, and the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Thief Shuai Bocai is under the command of Shuai Bocai."
Lu Bu pointed to the war sand table in front of him, looked at Zhang Liao and Wei Xu with an indifferent expression, and said: "Although Bocai is from a humble background, he is known for his bold and careful, seemingly tyrannical and exposed temperament, but in fact he is a disguise that doubts outsiders. ”
"It is precisely because of this that Zhu Jun, the general of the right middle lang, when he led his troops to march into Yingchuan, encountered the Yellow Turban thief Shuai Bocai's troops suffered this big loss, and even the advantages of our Han army were all lost."
Regarding the battle situation of the Battle of Changshe, Lu Bu knew better than anyone else in his heart, but for Zhang Liao and Wei Xu, he didn't know much about it.
As the first battle he commanded in the true sense of the word when he came to the end of the Han Dynasty, although he knew all the details of the Battle of Changshe, he didn't dare to have the slightest carelessness in his heart.
If it is said that because of his reckless behavior, there is an accident in the battle of the long society, it is definitely an existence that cannot be easily forgiven.
From Xinzheng all the way to the rapid march, but in just over two hours, Lu Bu's troops rushed to the territory of Changshe.
To say that this is not nervous is absolutely false.
I have never experienced a battle of this scale before, although I have a system to support myself, but this battle of Changsha is by no means a battle that can be easily solved by simply triggering a few combat skills at a time.
In the face of the team of more than 100,000 Yellow Turban thieves, Li Shu, and homeless people in front of them, they surrounded this Changshe City from all directions.
If you try to crack it by brute force alone, you will never win this battle.
"The Han army, which is now retreating to Changshe City, is facing such a cruel and anxious battle situation, and the morale of its subordinates is bound to be declining."
"If they can't bring morale-boosting changes to the morale of the Han army under Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun as soon as possible, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for long in this Changshe City."
"It's just that judging from the current battle situation in Changshe City, a sabotage war in the traditional sense can't solve the army of more than 100,000 Yellow Turban thieves who surrounded this Changshe City in one fell swoop."
"Therefore, if our department wants to solve the dilemma of Changshe City, we must find another way." Speaking of this, Lu Bu's eyes flashed with essence.
If you want to solve the dilemma of Changshe City in a war, I am afraid that the only way to do it is to attack with fire.
In the war of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, this fire attack was used the most.
But if you want to attack with fire, you have to take care of a lot in between.
Otherwise, once this fire attack strategy is used, it is very likely that it will not have the effect of solving the Yellow Turban Thief, but on the contrary, it will affect the Han army in Changshe City.
In this way, this battle will not have to be fought again.
Wei Xu frowned and said, "Junhou, as far as the Yellow Turban thieves besieging Changshe City at this stage are concerned, the scale alone is almost more than 150,000 people. ”
"Even if we remove the middle, the elite Yellow Turban thieves under the command of the Yellow Turban Thief Shuai Bocai are forced to participate in the displaced people and Li Shu."
"It's just that the last general wants to remind me that these homeless people and Li Shu who are coerced by the Yellow Turban Thieves are being lured by the Yellow Turban Thieves with food because of hunger at the moment, if this person is hungry and red-eyed, then he can do anything."
"On the other hand, there are no more than 1,000 soldiers under the command of our department, if you want to save this long-term society predicament with our department, it is definitely not an easy thing."
Wei continued to count the advantages and disadvantages of the Han army, the Yellow Turban Thieves, and his own troops in Changshe City, this was not because he had the intention of cowardice in his heart, but in fact, the kind of battle they were currently facing was indeed a very bad existence.
For a military general with medium qualifications, with the current battle situation faced by Changshe City, this is indeed an existence that cannot be started.
But for the high-ranking generals and handsome talents, even if Changshe City does not have the slightest fighter at the moment, then they will do everything possible to create a fighter that can take the initiative to change the situation of the war.
If the Han Dynasty pacified the Battle of the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan, the Han army that conquered the Yellow Turban Thieves all died in Changshe City, or were defeated head-on by the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Thieves, the blow to the Han Dynasty would be huge.
Far from mentioning it for the time being.
Just this battle of Changshe, really let the Yellow Turban Thief Shuai Bocai, and the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army led by him seize this Yingchuan land, then the Sili Heavy Land led by Luoyang will be completely exposed to the Yellow Turban Thief's soldiers.
Although it is said that there are still eight passes to guard in the periphery of Luoyang, but at that time, did the Han family really have the ability to resist the attack of the Yellow Turban thieves in the sky?
Just one tactic can make an already tragic battle even more unfavorable.
In case it is said that in this process, Luoyang dares to have any accidents, I am afraid that the sky of the Han family will really be pierced by this huge Yellow Turban Uprising.
After listening to the objective factors that Wei Xu talked about, and looking at the war sand table in front of him, Zhang Liao's eyes narrowed slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "What Meng Tian said is good. ”
"But there is one thing that I don't dare to agree with, although our department will face more than ten thousand yellow turban thieves in the next time, but it is not impossible for our department to solve it."
"As Meng Tian just said, the Yellow Turban Thieves besieging this Changshe City at the moment, the Li Shu and the displaced people under his command are all coerced by the Yellow Turban Thieves, and this person can do anything when he is hungry and red-eyed."
"Then judging from the current battle situation in Changshe City, this benevolent act in any sense for our department will lead to the tactical failure of our department to save the predicament of Changshe City."
"Besides, the two departments of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun who retreated to Changshe City are related to whether our Han family can pacify Yingchuan as soon as possible, after all, once this Yingchuan important land is captured by the Yellow Turban thieves, the next step will definitely threaten the imperial capital of my Han family, Luoyang."
"So no matter what aspect of the consideration, the Han army retreating to Changshe City can't have a trace of accidents, even the slightest accident."
"For today's plan, if you want to wipe out the Yellow Turban thief Shuai Bocai who is besieging Changshe City in one fell swoop, only by using this fire attack can you achieve a decisive battle!"
When he said this, Zhang Liao's young face was full of fortitude, and his body exuded a bit of fierce fighting intent.
As a general, the most taboo thing is to be trapped by the kindness of the heart.
After listening to Zhang Liao's words, Lu Bu subconsciously nodded and praised in his heart: "It is worthy of Zhang Liao, the general of the powerful side in the future, and it is worthy of being a rare handsome talent in the Three Kingdoms period." ”
Although Zhang Liao is still young now, his own talent can't be concealed.
Being able to say such big-picture words without any guidance is in itself an ability.
"It's just that in terms of the current situation in Changshe City, although our department can indeed carry out this fire attack strategy, it can't affect the entire army of Yellow Turban thieves." Wei Xu raised the doubts in his heart again at this time.
"Just like the current wind direction of Changshe City, most of them are towards Changshe City, even if our department has the opportunity to achieve a fire attack, but if this wind direction helps the Yellow Turban thief, then ......"
In the late Han Dynasty, if you want to be a good general, it is not simply a battle before the battle, there are many things you need to learn, including observing the weather.
Wei Xu didn't finish saying this, because he knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for Zhang Liao not to take this into account.
However, through the conversation between Zhang Liao and Wei Xu, the gap between outstanding talents and ordinary people is also reflected from the side.
Great talent is not the opportunity to create opportunities.
Ordinary people are looking at opportunities and complaining about external factors.
The corners of Zhang Liao's mouth raised slightly: "Meng Tian is very right to remind, although the current wind direction of Changshe City is indeed a very unfavorable existence for our department, and even for the Han army that retreated to Changshe City. ”
"But this doesn't mean that our department doesn't have any opportunities, Meng Tian, don't forget, the season in front of you is already midsummer, and the wind direction of this season is already changeable."
"Therefore, there must be variables in this wind trend, if we can find out the strength of the Yellow Turban Thief in advance, the deployment of the camp, and formulate a detailed combat deployment, then we will definitely be able to take advantage of the situation to wipe out the Yellow Turban Thief's Shuai Bocai in one fell swoop."
Speaking of this, Zhang Liao's eyes became sharp.
If you want to become a general in command of the three armies, you must have decisiveness and tenacity.
Listening to Zhang Liao and Wei Xu's answers, Lu Bu said with a smile on his face: "What Wen Yuan said has a certain meaning, judging from the current situation, our department must take risks in this battle. ”
"Otherwise, if there is really the kind of situation that Wen Yuan said, this must be a heavy blow to my Han family, and besides, the two departments of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun who are trapped in Changshe City must be rescued."
"Therefore, for our department, if we can't take action as soon as possible, I am afraid that the Han army trapped in Changshe City will inevitably cause the morale of the city to plummet due to the fierce offensive of the Yellow Turban Thieves."
"If this is the case, then all the previous plans of our department will be completely frustrated, since this countermeasure has been discussed, then our department must find out as soon as possible, the strength of the Yellow Turban Thieves besieging this Changshe City, the deployment of the camp, etc., and prepare enough tung oil for the fire attack during this period."
"As for how this battle will be fought, there is a certain number in my heart, and there will be no situation like Meng Tian just said." Speaking of this, Lu Bu's face showed a confident smile.
Since the strategy of fire attack by skillfully borrowing the time of heaven is full of uncontrollable factors, what if this fire attack strategy can be controlled artificially?
Lu Bu still didn't believe it in his heart, so the army of Yellow Turban thieves besieging Changshe City couldn't be completely defeated by his own troops?!
As the chief general of this army, Lu Bu's tone is a military order, and since it is a military order, the two generals Zhang Liao and Wei Xu must obey the order.
