Chapter 1185: I'll Leave It to You Here
When Xu Shu, Jia Xu, and Pang Tong received the information from Fei Qian, Han Sui had already surveyed the terrain at the west entrance of Fansu Road. Although Han Sui had already walked this area many times, he believed that he should still be appropriately cautious.
Because prudence does not necessarily guarantee victory, but carelessness will lead to defeat.
Han Sui stood on top of Nanshan, surrounded by guards, and quietly didn't dare to make any sound, for fear of affecting Han Sui's thoughts.
Although the Longshan Mountains here are not as steep and precipitous as the Qinling Mountains, they are not easy to climb, and the magic of nature has been an extremely important factor restricting the pace of human expansion for a long time.
Bansu Road is no exception here.
Han Sui looked to the north, and a relatively gentle "V" shaped mountain pass on the right-hand side was the exit of the Bansu Road, and from this point alone, it was indeed feasible to block the Fansu Pass.
But the problem is that the width of the entire Fansu Road exit is not ten steps, nor is it a hundred steps, but more than six hundred steps! In the Fansu Road, although it will be narrower, the narrowest place is still nearly 200 steps away, and the mountains on both sides are not steep, so the distance from the ridge to the valley is even farther, and there is no vegetation between the valleys, and there is no combustible, so it is actually more difficult to rely on falling rocks or fire cages to kill a large number of people passing through it.
If there is any more of the Flying Bear Army that you encountered last time......
To encircle the entire gap of more than 600 steps, how many troops do you need to put forward in the front?
In order to encircle the soldiers of the expedition to the west in order to encircle the soldiers of the expedition from Fansudao, they will inevitably disperse into a net, so that the thickness of the entire battle formation is insufficient, and the soldiers of the expedition to the west only seek to break through, so the troops must be gathered in one place, with a weak formation to meet the opponent's sharp arrow formation, this is not looking for death, what is it doing?
Fight and retreat?
This is equivalent to letting go of Fanxu Road, so that the follow-up generals of the expedition to the west of the army continue to drive into Longyou, which is currently in the state of division of the army of Han Sui, is very dangerous, may be broken by the local advantage of the general of the expedition, and even a little careless, was attacked all the way, resulting in the annihilation of the whole army is not impossible.
Perhaps there is only one way to find a place to trap and hold on to the troops of General Xi.
This seems to be the best choice, as long as the reinforcements of General Zhengxi are delayed here, and when Ma Chao leads the Xiliang troops to surround and strangle Fei Qian, the whole battle can be said to have achieved a great victory.
Han Sui slowly closed his eyes and sighed softly.
Although it is said that there is no way to use the terrain to kill a large number of troops in the west, if it is only temporarily blocked for a period of time, the difficulty varies depending on the length of time.
Just block for a day or two, it is not difficult, the easiest way is to pile up firewood at the Fansu crossing, burn and block, you can delay for a while, but the firewood will always burn out, and you can't rely on this to consume a large number of opponents, so you can only block slightly, and you can't get much advantage, if the opponent forcibly breaks through regardless of casualties, such a big gap, it is not easy to defend.
With the advantage of being the first mover, it is not difficult for Han Sui to defeat the vanguard troops who came to the west to help, because the first to arrive here must be the cavalry, and this kind of simple light cavalry without the cooperation of foot soldiers, Han Sui is not afraid, but the problem is that Han Sui does not know how many soldiers and horses will be transferred from Guanzhong this time to conquer the west, and he does not know whether the leader is a reckless general or a calm commander.
In addition, as time goes by, with more and more troops coming from the expedition to the west, Han Sui will inevitably bear a heavier and heavier burden here, and the soldiers of the general of the expedition to the west are not those who are temporarily recruited in the counties and counties, most of them are veterans of the northern campaign!
On top of the battle formation, the veteran is against the recruit, because the recruit doesn't know what cooperation is, so it can be roughly one to three, and in some extreme cases, it can even be one to five, one to ten!
Of course, Han Sui also has veterans, but these veterans are all treasures, how can they be buried here easily? If all these veterans of the headquarters are lost, what will Han Sui use to balance the various departments of Xiliang?
"The strength of a certain is really not enough......"
Han Sui looked up to the sky, looked into the distance, and let out a long breath. This is the disadvantage of Xiliang's military situation, and Han Sui has not much to do.
Who doesn't know that more people are better?
Who doesn't know who has more troops and who will have some relative advantages?
But the problem is that there is no money and no food!
The spring is cold, and the west is also a disaster!
In addition, he returned in vain before, and he also consumed a lot of grain and grass in vain, and there was no replenishment, and now Han Sui is also overstretched, and it is good to be able to support his own troops' rations.
It's not that Han Sui doesn't want to wait for the Xiliang tribes to be convened before he starts, but in that case, according to the usual practice, it is equivalent to Han Sui asking for a lot of money and food to come out to the warlords of the Xiliang tribes.
Therefore, it is better to set off in advance and then summon, so that the grain and grass before the Xiliang troops rushed to the battlefield naturally did not need Han Sui, and after arriving at the battlefield, they immediately went into battle and plundered the opponent's territory as much as possible, so Han Sui also did not need additional grain and grass......
"Someone!" Han Sui said slowly, "Inform Meng Qi that a certain will delay the expedition to the west for three days at most!" Let it quickly settle the argument! ”
The herald rode away, Han Sui looked at the back of the herald who was far away, was silent for a long time, and then turned his head to Cheng Gongying, lowered his voice and said, "Zijie, I'll leave it to you here...... Set up more suspicious soldiers, light more bonfires, defend if you can, and withdraw if you can't defend ......"
Cheng Gongying didn't say much, just replied, "My subordinates understand." ”
Han Sui nodded, and then said in a loud voice as he left backwards, "Order, the whole army is here to repair today!" The sentinel released fifty miles! Tomorrow is the time to pull out the camp! ”
The soldiers replied loudly, and immediately dispersed and got busy.
This battle, if it is the head of the wheel, is it the Fansu Road?
Apparently not.
Fansu Dao is just hard work here!
After the on-site investigation of Fansu Road, Han Sui was even more sure of this, if there were few reinforcements in the west, it would be good to say, if there were many reinforcements, Han Sui would inevitably fall into a bitter battle. Then he fought here to the death, Ma Chao took the Xiliang tribes to encircle and suppress the insufficient troops of Fei Qian, if once Ma Chao's plan succeeded, then wouldn't Han Sui make a wedding dress for Ma Chao in vain?
Therefore, let Cheng Gongying take a small number of troops as suspicious soldiers, delay the reinforcements of the expedition to the west, and then Han Sui himself gathered the Xiliang tribes, and the whole army followed behind Ma Chao, and when it was a critical moment, it was the most correct move to capture and kill the general of the expedition to the west, Fei Qian......
On this day, why don't you let the Ma family kid call the shots?
………………………………
Beacon smoke bursts, in the land of Longyou, and even in the whole land of China frantically rolling, all the forces are competing for the first opportunity on this battlefield, are all showing their strategies, if there is really a god, standing above the nine heavens, overlooking this piece of land, you will see countless soldiers with various banners, or south, or north, or east, or west, attacking in attack, defending in defense, fighting in fighting, defeating in defeat, setting off an endless killing machine!
In the night, Fei Qian took a few guards and immediately looked at the campfires in his camp not far away.
Now under the command of Fei Qian, perhaps he has been fighting in the north and other places for a long time, and in terms of combat style, he has a bit of heroic color, and even the camp is a bit like a military horse in the north.
If it is in the southerly areas such as the Great River, the best camp of the infantry army is as hard as a turtle's shell and sharp as a hedgehog, and the enemy will definitely not be able to enter before the time is opened, and of course, it is not easy to get out by yourself. In the camp, the arrow tower is densely erected, and the wall of the camp is covered with battlements and half walls, which makes people feel that they are full of thorns at a glance, and they have no way to speak.
In the camp, even if it is a camp dominated by foot soldiers, it also leaves a wide enough passage so that the soldiers can assemble at any time for counterattack, and the sentry scouts are also far away, even at night, the range of control and detection is large enough to provide more time for the response of the whole army.
The Qiang scouts in the northwest direction that they encountered before didn't seem to have much desire to fight, and they didn't even have any interest in engaging in outpost battles with Fei Qian's scout team, but as soon as they made contact, they would definitely retreat backwards, pointing straight to this small group of Qiang people's gathering place, without even half a point of cover.
This inevitably made Fei Qian suspicious, so he sent people to spread the net like a net......
The arguing king still refused to meet with Fei Qian's envoy.
However, it is also understandable that there are not many soldiers and horses of the Di people, on the one hand, Guanzhong and Xiliang, on the one hand, the newly rising Han Zhengxi general, on the other hand, the famous Longyou veteran powerhouse, and it is not clear that the future development trend is not clear, in order to avoid being implicated too deeply, it is natural to look at the limelight behind closed doors first, anyway, no matter which side it is, it is impossible in this case, the value of attacking in a big way, easy to defend and difficult to attack, is not much under the argument of the Diren cottage......
Beneath the knoll, the neighing of war horses was heard.
Under the sporadic firelight, he saw a small group of men and horses galloping towards him. Although the figure on horseback is not strong, his body is balanced and his movements are agile, and he is the current scout leader Gong Jun. Behind him, followed by the elite scout light riders. Since the Battle of Hanzhong, these scout soldiers led by Gong Jun have really been in the limelight and have become the object of envy and envy.
If it weren't for the distant firelight of the camp and the sound of the horses' hooves, these scouts lurking in the night would not be so easy to spot, like ghosts marching in the shadows.
In the blink of an eye, Gong Jun had already rushed to the bottom of the hill with several scouts and came to the front of Fei Qian. Although it was night and the temperature was not high, several scouts, including Gong Jun, were sweating and panting with their horses.
"General Qiyu! It is indeed the Ma family! I saw the flag of Fubo! Gong Jun took a few steps forward, bowed down and said, "At present, the Ma family is two hundred miles away, and the people of Yak Qiang and Tsing Yi Qiang are in the same place!" ”
Gong Jun is definitely a guy who is not willing to be lonely, for a period of time in Hanzhong, except for Fu Luo Dao, he has not used any punches and feet, and he has followed all the way to the next debate is a little sluggish, but he noticed that there are signs of war here in Longyou, and he was immediately full of energy, and he couldn't wait to go outside immediately.
In the past two days, Fei Qian sent Gong Jun to investigate the surrounding situation, and Gong Jun immediately took a small number of light horses to spread sentinels, and Gong Jun's subordinates were also bold people, some simply dressed up as Qiang people, and they were not afraid to meet the real Qiang people.
"Only Mars?" Fei Qian frowned and said, "How many people do you bring?" ”
"All the cavalry, about three thousand." Gong Jun replied.
Three thousand, plus seven thousand Qiang people, looking at the books, there are nearly 10,000 men and horses, which looks quite scary, but only two-thirds or one-half of the actual participants in the battle may be one-third. Ma Chao's 3,000 or so people should be a real number of people who can go into battle, but among the other part of the Qiang people, there are old and weak, and the young and strong people who can really ride horses and charge into battle are at most one-third, that is, more than two thousand, so what Fei Qian really needs to face is a mixed army of more than 5,000 people.
However, Ma Chao's troops have found out, where is Han Sui?
Are there any other troops behind it?
All this is unknown.
Fei Qian rubbed the short beard on his chin and asked Gong Jun to go down and rest first.
There is no way, the current war can only be like this, there is neither radar nor drones, and how the specific battlefield changes, you can only see this piece in front of you.
Detect it again, and decide after more information?
But this will inevitably delay the timing.
Let's bet on it, I really can't do it, I still have a boat in my hand, Taizu can cross the Chishui four times, and I can still do it when I see that the situation is not good......
"It's long overdue! It also made a certain wait for a long time! After a moment of silence, Fei Qian lightly slapped his palm and said, "Go and inform Ling Junhou, you can do it!" Let's give Ma a big gift first! Komeito, I'll leave it to you......"
Xu Huang arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, Junhou! ”
Fei Qian nodded, then turned on his horse and led the men along the banks of the Qingni River, and headed south.
Originally, when setting up this camp, it was considered to be built for the convenience of transporting grain and grass, so when choosing the location, the location of the camp was not all considered, but the overall transportation was focused, so the location of the camp was not far from the riverside, and the surrounding area was also flat, and then a water gate was opened on the bank of the river, which could directly allow boats to enter the camp and moor in the camp for rest.
It is precisely because of this that no matter from that aspect, the defensive ability of the camp is not very strong, even if it is re-strengthened, that is, to resist the impact of ordinary soldiers, if you want to use this to resist the attack of the super large army, it is naturally a little more difficult.
Therefore, since Fei Qian chose to face the battle, of course, he had to choose a battlefield that suited him.
But in the same way, it is impossible for anyone to abandon the camp at will, and it is good to be able to exert some residual heat......
