Chapter 1021 - Welcome it in person
Among Cao Jun's famous generals, Lejin is like a fox, cunning and changeable; Xiahou Yuan is like a leopard, rushing like the wind; Xiahou is like a snake, smart and ruthless; Cao Ren is like a tiger, brave and resolute! And to describe the heavy general in the army, the Qingzhou battalion commanded by the forbidden Wen Ze, Liu Yi's first thought is the big old black in the Yushan forest, its momentum is heavy, and it is powerful, it seems to be bulky, but in fact it is clumsy! In the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, the five sons are tied, and they are listed in the first place, and their names are still above Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang He and others, which shows their ability, and it must be known that at the end of the Han Dynasty, there was no such thing as a sentence that was not ranked in no particular order, for example, Guan Zhang, Ma, Huang Zhao, no matter whether Shu Han had five tigers or not, Guan Yu's status and merits are undoubtedly the first!
When Cao's army entered Xuzhou, it was forbidden to lead the army alone, occupying the land of Liu Xuande's three counties, and the Jizhou War was the leader of this person's army, and he forced Ganning Pang Tong to take a stubborn position against it with a strong momentum of steady progress; In this Qingzhou place, Cao Cao does not trust others but entrusts it alone, because he has a talent! Perhaps his courage in the battle is definitely not as good as Lejin, the place of running is slightly inferior to Xiahou Yuan, and the courage of the fighting generals is also difficult to be as good as the Xiahou brothers, and it is not worse than the tiger's idiot, but there is no doubt that among the generals of Cao Ying, Yu Ban is the most balanced person, with obvious advantages and few disadvantages, and he is an opponent worthy of attention. In another time and space, his tragedy is that he met the more outstanding Guan Yu, and he was criticized for his discipline, but in terms of his ability to command troops, he was one of Liu Yi's most valued enemy generals.
Like Cao Ren, Yu Ban is also paying attention to the progress of the Leping battle at any time, when the news of Le Wenqian's capture came, he was also shocked with Cao Cao and others, although he didn't have too much personal relationship with Le Jin, but he knew in his heart that the ability to use troops and the strength of Chen Liuying's camp was well known, 30,000 horses, the hoarded grain and grass were enough for April, and Leping was still a fortified city in Yanzhou, on the 22nd, counting the time of the Yan army's cessation of attack, it was less than ten days, and it ended up like this, how could it not be chilling and the opponent's strong offensive ability? How many more days can he hold on?
Although the equipment battalions of the two armies did not have the powerful firepower of the Suzaku Battalion, Tai Shici and Gao Ran could not show the essence of infantry and artillery coordination in front of Cao Jun. As far as the current situation is concerned, this well-trained tactic of the Yan army is almost incomprehensible to the defenders, and Chen Liuying, who wants to come to Lejin, is defeated by this novel tactic. If you want to break it, you must change, how to change it, the conclusion reached by Yu Ban after thinking hard can be said to be no different from Cao Zilian!
Cao Ren's decision to abandon Dongping's mind was transmitted to Yu Ban in time through Cao Jun's dark arrow at the first time, and in the control of this point, the surplus of their time is more than that of Tai Shi Ci and Gao Lan, Yu Ban's judgment of the time when Cao Ren's army arrived in Lu is extremely accurate, and it is also the main force to form a containment of the Wind Army, if it is said that the strength of the Yan Army and the Cao Army in Dongping Leping is in the upper hand, the advantage of Lu is not on the side of the Wind Army, Gao Ran's task was more to monitor the movements of the forbidden Qingzhou battalion, and wait for the three armies to join forces to attack it again.
The incident happened suddenly, the combat power of the Qingzhou battalion was not under the wind army, Cao Ren came so fast that Gao Ran did his best and could not stop the Cao army's division, the strength of the Yan army's equipment battalion could not be fully exerted in the field battle, Yu Ban could rely on the power of the strong city to make all kinds of blows to the second army of Beiping in the wind and wind, and after several trade-offs, Gao Ran and Tai Shici still gave up the plan to fight each other to the death under the city of Lu, this is by no means a fear of the two generals, but a kind of safety after the battle has already taken the initiative! At present, even if the two armies are combined, it is difficult to have the strength to eat Cao Ren in one bite of the forbidden department, and the advantage will be more obvious until Gao Shun's Liaodong Army and Li Tieniu's Suzaku Battalion come to the front.
The Qingzhou battalion sits in the city, and Cao Ren's department and the outside of the city are the best way to deal with the two generals after discussion, at least the Cao army outside the city can assemble and launch an attack at any time, so that the Yan army equipment can not be used to attack the fortification, the two complement each other and cooperate closely than a single army to defend the lonely city, more solid than a single army! It can be said that under the current battle situation, Cao Ren and Yu Ban's response is still extremely fast and effective, at least in the face of the Yan army's sophisticated equipment and the novel tactics based on it, they can still make the most stubborn resistance!
How to deal with such a change in the battle situation has become a difficult problem in front of Liu Yi, the enemy army will never be willing to be tied down, and the position of Yu Ban Cao Ren using the terrain of Lu has been used to the extreme! After all, the Vermilion Bird Battalion is not a later generation of artillery that can carry out long-range strikes against the enemy from miles or even tens of miles away, they must establish a solid position at a distance of about 300 steps from the enemy in order to exert great power, and Yu Wen Cao Zilian saw this clearly and made a big fuss, when attacking the city, it is difficult for the opponent's city gate to gather troops to attack, or it will leave enough time for the Yan army to prepare, but it is not so simple after being formed by it. Gao Lan Taishi Ci knew in his heart that if he wanted to break the enemy's two armies, he had to break them individually, and the problem was that it was not so simple to do so.
At this time, Liu Yi in the commander of the heavy cavalry battalion was also considering the new military situation on the battlefield, if before the Liaodong Army took Leping, the second general Yu Ban Cao Ren would use this way to deal with the attack of the Yan army, Lang Sheng would not be too difficult, but now the infantry and artillery coordination tactics have achieved great success, and the entire battle situation in Yanzhou is extremely beneficial to the Yan army, and in this situation, he has to consider the problem of minimizing his own losses! The Liaodong Army took Leping with the cooperation of the Vermilion Bird Battalion and paid almost the same casualties as the Chen Liuying Battalion, this figure should be expected by everyone, but if the three armies work together to kill the Yan Army, the casualties of the Yan Army will be much smaller, this is military common sense, there is no need to explain too much, even if Liu Yi does not care about the consumption with the Cao army, but when it is obviously advantageous, he still has to use human lives to pile up, but it is irresponsible to those loyal soldiers who are not afraid of death!
The power of the enemy's tiger and leopard cavalry has been suppressed to the minimum by his own iron cavalry battalion, although there are still tens of thousands of Cao troops in Chen Liucheng, but whether it is Cao Ang or Sima Yi and others, they will not be lightly attacked, even if they work together to advance to the **, with the 100,000 iron cavalry in their hands, Liu Yi also has enough confidence to defeat it! So, after putting aside the Yanzhou Western Front, how to make a breakthrough in the Eastern Front on the premise of taking into account the casualty figures? No matter how you look at the mobilization of the Yan Army's other main force, the Flame Army of Koyi, is the best way to come west, before that, Lang Sheng must calculate the changes in this move as clearly as possible!
"Fengxiao, if you transfer General Liyi's fire army to the Lu country, you can form a situation where our four main forces join forces to deal with the two armies of Yu Ban Cao Ren, if it goes well, you can take this city in a month, but if you do this, if Liu Bei crosses the river to the north, Zhou Yu and Xu Sheng and others will go all out to suppress the Xingba Flying Tiger Army, and our army can only use it to entangle with the Gongming Longxiang Army and the Xuanwu White Tiger Second Battalion, is the force in the hands of Wen and Shiyuan too thin? Liu Yi's eyes did not leave the sand table, but he asked Guo Jia on the side.
According to the military intelligence report a few days ago, although the Flying Tiger Army of the second general has made great achievements in repeatedly attacking the enemy Jianye Water Village, it has not hurt the Yangzhou Navy at all, and the Jingnan Navy led by Zhou Yu has arrived at the Lujiang River at this time, and there is a Yangzhou Navy Division of no less than 10,000 people entering the river, according to Tian'er report, this is Liu Xuande's water war strength that has been hidden in the shadows, and the scale of the warship does not seem to be under the "Sea Dragon" ship of our army, The two of them work together to do it, and with the ability of the two generals, they are afraid that they will also be on the defensive, and it is difficult to restrict the Yangzhou army from crossing the river, and it will be quite difficult for Guan, Zhang, Huang Zhiyong, Zhuge Liang, Zhiwen, Shiyuan and Gongming generals to deal with it! The terrain of this Lu country is also favorable to the enemy army......" Guo Jia's posture is also the same as Liu Yi's, his eyes are fixed on the sand table from Lu to Dajiang and other places, and his mouth is not slow to slow down the deep thoughts on his face.
Regarding Zhou Yu's distant arrival and the appearance of the hidden strength of the Yangzhou army, Feng Xiao just said that the heavenly ear reported it in one fell swoop, in fact, in these short words, there were nearly thirty lives of the heavenly ear! Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were extremely afraid of the Yan army's ability to spy on the military situation, and at this time, when the war was fierce, both sides were constantly planning, so they attached even more importance to it. The military information that was passed on to Guo Jia's hands was really stained with too much blood, that is, Zi Yue among the first twelve people in Tian'er almost died because of this, it can be seen that the fierce battle between the two sides in the shadows is not lower than the battle array, and both sides are also going all out for this!
Guo Jia's words were not finished, and without the fifty or sixty thousand soldiers of the Liyi Fire Army, Jia Xu, Pang Tong, Xu Huang and others could contain the Yangzhou Army with the troops in their hands, and he was not completely sure. Yuzhou was not under the control of the Yan army at this time, and rashly entered the battle with the other party, at least the geographical advantage was not on his own side, Liu Bei could point his troops directly at the Lu country at the junction of Yu and Yan, and it was even possible to use Xu Huang's Long Xiang army as the main target. If Gongming intercepts with all his might, can Liuhe Water Village rely on the Flying Tiger Army alone to ensure that it can enter Mount Tai? The most important thing in the water village here is that the Yan army has worked hard to hold it in its hands, and it must not be taken advantage of by the enemy, and the Long Xiang army must leave enough troops to guard against it, so that the forces that can be used to block Liu Bei head-on will be reduced!
Next to the sand table, Guo Tu's vision of the two is also concerned about it, and the two did not put forward any opinions on the conversation between Liu Yi and Guo Jia, the terrain of Lu is indeed very tricky as Guo Jia said, if you want to annihilate the two departments of Cao Ren, you must increase the necessary troops, if these two generals take the opportunity to retreat into Yuzhou and form a joint force with Liu Bei's Yangzhou army, the Yan army, which is further lengthened, will not have such a good opportunity to annihilate it again! The choice is indeed a matter of careful consideration.
Seize the opportunity to annihilate the enemy, or do you risk the possibility of letting the tiger return to the mountains for the sake of safety? Liu Yi kept comparing all kinds of possible changes in his heart, and after a while, his right hand struck heavily on the edge of the sand table and said: "The herald ordered General Lu Yi to set off in the starry night and march to the periphery of the Lu State to lock this place firmly, and the battle of Qingzhou allowed Yu Wen to escape, this loneliness cannot allow this situation to reappear, no matter how rare the opportunity is, it is necessary to annihilate the elite of the Cao army here!" ”
"If Liu Bei's Yangzhou army crosses the river to the north and comes, how can King Yan be opposed?" Seeing Liu Yi's expression, Guo Jia of course knew that King Yan had made up his mind, at the beginning of the battle, no one dared to make an overly optimistic prediction about whether he could annihilate the main force of Cao Jun Yanzhou, and it was already an acceptable result to be able to expel it from Yanzhou and occupy its territory, but now with the development of the battle situation, this possibility is greatly improved, with the consistent character of King Yan, he will not let go of such a fighter, Guo Jia does not doubt this, the key is still in the latter, how should the Yan army deal with the Yangzhou army's attack on crossing the river? It is also that with the development of the war situation, the situation is more and more favorable to the Yan army, and Liu Beiding will not sit idly by.
"Gongming's Longxiang army has more than 50,000 people, leaving 10,000 to cooperate with Xingba to guard Liuhe Water Village at least to protect this place for three months, Liu Bei Ruo, Wen and Shi Yuan Gongming and others only need to contain it on its flanks to prevent its army from attacking our army's water village, Yuan Shao Boming's White Tiger Xuanwu Second Battalion can immediately take over from General Liyi to arrive in Peiguo, Lone today after the plan will lead the guard battalion straight here, when at the border of Yuzhou and the Yangzhou army are a unique male and female, backed by the four main forces around the Lu State, Lone to give Liu Xuande an empty city plan, Let's see how bold he is! "The Yan Army's Iron Cavalry Battalion will Cao Jun's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Chen's remaining garrison have a difficult action, but relatively speaking, they are also firmly contained by the other party, the Yanzhou battle situation is not to tolerate mistakes, the Iron Cavalry Battalion cannot divide troops to the south at this time, thinking about it, only by going in person can Liu Bei have the greatest deterrent, and can also maximize the combat power of the White Tiger Xuanwu, the second of the old four battalions, it can be seen that Liu Yi is ruthless here!
Guo Jiashen and Guo Tu were silent for a while when they heard this, King Yan's move should be effective when it was used in the battle array, what could make the Yangzhou army jealous more than facing Liu Yi in person? There is no one in the Yan army who can achieve such a deterrent, even if several generals are in unison, it will not have this effect. But they must consider the danger contained in this, Liu Yi's purpose is very obvious, to fight for the maximum time and space for the four main forces to attack the Cao army of Lu State, if they can annihilate all the troops of the forbidden Cao Ren, then it is very likely to form a fatal threat to the Yangzhou army with persistent efforts, but even if it is so worth risking the safety of King Yan? Here too, there is a dilemma.
"When the judgment continues to suffer from it, the affairs of the soldiers should not be hesitated, and the three of them know what they think in their hearts, but there is another general who can think about it, and you will not hesitate! The soldiers are treacherous, blindly seeking the whole will be controlled everywhere, with the current situation, if our army wins the first battle in Yanzhou, Cao Mengde will definitely reduce his power, Liu Bei will never let him retreat if he dares to come to Lonely, as if all parts of Jiangbei can be decided in a battle! At that time, you only need to concentrate on the development of the power of the water army, and you can sweep Cao, Liu and Sun away with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping the leaves! How can you take such a small risk in mind? Lone is not Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu, since the beginning of the army, they have personally braved the arrows and stones to charge into battle, who dares to hurt me wildly? Moreover, the lonely relatives led the White Tiger Xuanwu Second Army and Gongming to respond, if there is really a lost son Long Jing Fang Ziyi can also be rescued, this danger will be less but very much, it is really the best strategy at the moment! If Lone doesn't mention this method, Wen He Shi Yuanyuan Zhi and others will not mention it even if they think about it, so it is still up to Lone to say something! ”
Liu Yi has not done such a tirade for a long time, once the fighter plane is in hand, he will gain a lot, and he also knows the weight of his own safety among the ministers, even if someone has the same idea as him, he must not dare to put it forward, the battle of Yanzhou will develop according to this situation, once the Yan army wins, it will not only be a victory in front of him, I am afraid that it will shorten the process of his domination of the world for at least a few years, so it is definitely worth it for him to take some risks in Yiyantang, with the three battalions of the White Tiger Xuanwu Guards in hand, Even if he is besieged by Liu Bei, he can sit until the reinforcements come to help, and he can get a huge reward by taking a certain risk, no matter how you look at it, he should be so resolute.
"The king's words are true, but I must follow my side now." After a short silence, Guo Jia spoke first, his nature has a very similar side to Liu Yi, the previous time and Yan Wang were too stable, resulting in the initial development of the battle situation was not too smooth, it was already quite self-blame, this time the opportunity was placed in front of him, and the risk would be suppressed to the minimum.
"No, after the lonely go here, you can't sit without Fengxiao, the iron cavalry battalion is the biggest advantage and mobility of our army, there is Fengxiao in the lonely can rest assured to go, and you need to quickly write a book and Wen and Shiyuan Gongming, the military situation is like fire, and the lonely will also break an example this time!" Liu Yi answered very quickly, the Iron Cavalry Battalion must not have a unified command, apart from him, only Guo Jia has this prestige, once the two of them go to the place where Chen stays, it will be more than worth the loss for Yan Jun! What is there to fear of dealing with Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu and Feng Chicks? Liu Yi rarely oversteps his command to give orders, but the current military situation makes him have to do so, and giving orders to Liyi through Pang Tong will definitely delay time!
"No, Jia will write a book and Wen He Shiyuan to prepare this matter, the king needs to think of himself from time to time, and he must not go to the battle in person, if he can do it, he will do it, if he can't do it, he must retreat in time!" Once Liu Yi made up his mind, no one could change his decision, and Guo Jia also knew in his heart the central role played by the Iron Cavalry Battalion in this battle, and he no longer hesitated to respond at the moment!
And at the moment when everyone was discussing the military situation, there were warships shuttling back and forth on the river near the Lujiang River, I don't know what kind of agreement Liu Bei finally reached with Zhou Yu, and the Yangzhou army's move to cross the river has become a reality!
