Chapter 913: Three Arrows

On the sixth day of January 202 in the second year of Jian'an of the Han Dynasty, Qingzhou Zhao Yunbu Taishi Ci Beiping Army attacked Lu State, Gao Lan Swift Wind Army went to Lu County and pointed directly at Dongping, Zilong Guo Jia and Gao Shun Liaodong Army sent a soldier to Leping, and the Yan Army sent three arrows to attack Yanzhou in one day, and the progress was also extremely smooth, and by the evening of the same day, the three-way army had penetrated into seventy miles, which only encountered the slight resistance of the Cao army left behind in the county, so Xiahou Yuan Cao Ren Yu Ban Lejin and others would shrink their forces and stick to the key points in accordance with the previously established strategy, With the comparison of the strength of the two sides at this time, if the field battle with the Yan army is launched, the Cao army will undoubtedly be defeated, in addition to the three main forces of Liaodong, Beiping, and Hurricane, 200,000 horses, Liu Yi's iron cavalry battalion is also on standby at any time, waiting for the main force of the Cao army!

At that time, in order to deal with the offensive of the Yan army into Yanzhou, Cheng Yu once gave Cao Cao a strategy, that is, to collect all the grain of the people in various counties and send it to various fortified cities, and then throw this heavy burden to Liu Yi, then the logistics of the Yan army not only have to bear the military of hundreds of thousands of troops, but also allocate spare strength to take care of more than 100,000 people, according to Liu Langsheng's consistent style, he will never turn a blind eye to this, and this person has always regarded himself as the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, if he abandons it, it will have a great impact on his reputation, This can also delay the powerful offensive of the Yan army!

Everyone in the world knows the names of Jia Wen and the poisoner, and Cheng Zhongde's ruthlessness is not under it, how can this plot be similar to Zheng Du's plan for Liu Zhang in another time and space? However, this is not unexpected, it must be known that the famous "human feeding" policy in history is that Cheng Yu sacrificed it for Cao Cao, and the living can still be used for military supplies, and at this time, it seems that it is even higher than it by borrowing the people's livelihood to fight! From a campaign point of view, this plan is also extremely feasible.

However, Cao Cao did not take this method after careful consideration, this is not that Cao Mengde's heart is not ruthless enough, a generation of heroes in order to dominate the world than can do anything, Huaxia has been a king since ancient times, and the people are just tools to use in their eyes, in fact, not only Cao Cao, Liu Yi and Liu Bei are not the same, the methods of using tools are different! The reason why this extremely advantageous strategy and the battle situation is not used, Cao Cao naturally has a deeper consideration!

Since the First World War in Jizhou, Liu Cao and the two have not had a frontal duel on the battlefield, but the contest between them has never stopped for a moment, the battle of Sili, the Jian'an debate, the economic blockade, the competition for intelligence, and the change of methods! Han and Zhang's allied forces Cao Cao had a lot of the upper hand over Liu Yi, but in the end of the Jian'an debate, Lang Sheng, who represented the orthodoxy of the imperial platform, was slightly better! King Yan cherishes his reputation, Cao Mengde can not be weak, this is also the point that must be adhered to between the two males, Yanzhou has been operated by the Cao family for more than ten years, and the people are aspiring, if Cheng Yu's strategy is used in this war, it is still the case for the people here, and what about the place of Jingzhou Yizhou, where the people's hearts have not been completely settled, and then those articles in Yandi can be used to play, after all, at this time, the name of righteousness is a strong political capital for any prince, and it seems that Cao Jun may win the benefits of the war situation for a while, But in the long run, it is clear that the gains outweigh the losses! Of course, this is only in Yanzhou, if it is changed to other states and counties, it is impossible to say that Cao Mengde will not hesitate to adopt Cheng Yu's strategy!

Now the trend of history has changed, and Cheng Yuren's strategy has not been used, but how can others not know that Liu Yi does not know, and Zheng Du's desperate plan is in front of him, and he is also prepared for Cao Jun's possible actions! After a little analysis, everyone can see that this method is not a good strategy, but if the Cao army really uses the offensive of the Yan army, it is indeed a great obstacle, so Liu Yi has achieved the ultimate in the allocation of materials before this battle, the so-called preparedness, forbearance for two years and resolutely implement the strategy formulated by himself, the preparation of the Yan army in the first battle of Yanzhou is extremely sufficient.

The initial success can not explain any problems, when the soldiers are in Lu State, Dongping, and Leping, the Yan army will face the Jiancheng guarded by the elite of the Cao army, and the forbidden town of Lu Guo and Cao Ren is based on Dongping, and the defender of Leping is Lejin Le Wenqian, who has a wonderful performance in the battle of Qingzhou, it can be said that the Qingzhou battalion can successfully withdraw to Yanzhou, this person has made great contributions! King Yan has long been "cunning fox and tiger" to describe this famous general of Cao Ying, one of the five sons, which shows the importance of Le Wenqian in his heart!

On the combat power of the eight main forces of the Yan Army can be said to have their own strengths, but if the siege is headed by Gao Shun's Liaodong Army, when Si Li crusaded against Li Guo, the attack of the world's Xiongguan Tiger Prison Liu Yi was given full authority to Jing Fang, and in this battle, Gao Shun also won the trust of a famous Yan army including Xu Huang and Zhang He with a solid foundation and superb siege ability! At this time, seeing the main force of the Yan army firing three arrows together, the main attack place of the Liaodong Army was Leping, which was guarded by Lejin, and Zhao Yun and Guo Jia all went with Gao Shun, so it can be seen that in the choice of Yanzhou to attack the fortification, this is the first breakthrough.

Le Jin has the talent of a general, bold and courageous, with the law of soldiers, in Qingzhou and the Yan army ace Long Xiang army is evenly divided, under his command Chen Liuying tactics are flexible, brave and tenacious, is indeed the Yan army's elite strong enemy! But on the defense of the city, Cao Ren or in this life or in Liu Yi's impression has a very good example, relatively speaking, Le Wenqian is a little inferior here, and the battle of Qingzhou to the end, Le Jin held the idea of death for Cao Jun after the break, in Xu Huang and Liyi spared no effort to attack under the body of several wounds, fortunately the tiger idiot Xu Chu and Huang Xu Cao Zhang arrived in time to save a life, the injury is definitely not light, and its battlefield command will have an impact.

Lu State, Dongping, Leping are all strategic points, Cao Army's heavy soldiers and famous generals are sitting here, the Yan Army's ability to attack will be a great test, but as far as the overall battle situation is concerned, there should be some emphasis in the key points, Leping has become the first key to this battle, in addition to Gao Shun's Liaodong Army to do its best, the old fourth battalion of the Vermilion Bird Battalion, which is famous for its siege equipment, was also temporarily assigned to Gao Jingfang by Liu Yi, and its strength was in this battle! Of course, Tai Shi Ci to Lu State, Gao Ran to Dongping is by no means only containment, the first stage of the Yan army to launch a fierce attack on the whole front, in order to take the lead in the effect, no matter how the battle situation develops, high fighting spirit is indispensable to the attacker!

When Zhao Yun led the three main forces to march separately, the fourth battalion of the iron cavalry led by Liu Yi was also waiting for the pillow, and Tian Feng once set up a stronghold for Yuan Shao in the battle of Jizhou, which was the situation that the Yan army was most unwilling to see, but Jizhou was close to the sea, and the Yan army and the Flying Tiger Army landed across the sea This wonderful hand can break the momentum of the Yuan army's insistence, Yanzhou is located inland, and it is even more difficult to make any strange moves here. In this regard, Liu Yi and a group of advisers and heavenly wolf warriors after detailed discussion and countless deductions, set the leading idea of "infantry attack, cavalry interspersed", the battle of Jizhou Liu Yi's advantage over Yuan Shao's strength is not as obvious as today, if the cavalry is too deep, it is easy to be attacked by the enemy from all sides! But the battle situation in Yanzhou is not the same as at that time, not only the main force of the infantry army can effectively contain the elite of the Cao army, but now the strength of the iron cavalry battalion is far better than back then, who dares to say that more than 100,000 iron cavalry will be encircled? With such strength, we can support the smooth use of tactics!

"The infantry army is attacking, the cavalry is interspersed", interspersed is after the strong attack, to contain the main force of the Cao army everywhere without intention, he Gu cavalry can play the greatest effect, of course, there are nearly 60,000 strong troops of tiger and leopard cavalry led by Xiahou Yuan in Yanzhou, Jingzhou is watery, Yizhou is rugged, most of the main cavalry of the Cao army are here, and the battle of Sili is the same as dealing with the Xiliang iron cavalry first, the main goal of Liu Yi's iron cavalry battalion will be firmly locked on Xiahou Yuan, Although under the leadership of Xiahou Miaocai, the combat power of the Cao Army's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was a little stronger than that of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry of that day, but the Yan Army's Iron Cavalry Battalion was all here, and the cooperation between the various departments was also incomparable to the Xiongnu Wuhuan Cavalry.

If the attack of the infantry army is smooth, the strategic order of the Yan army will be to go down to Xiongcheng first, and then map the whole territory, and once the frontline attack is blocked, this order will be reversed, if the attack is not the Yan army, such a change will be difficult to achieve, Liu Yi can do this because he controls the most powerful cavalry corps in the late Han Dynasty, and gives full play to the advantage of mobility to intersperse, the Yan army can cut the entire Yanzhou into pieces, for the stronger city, the cavalry can temporarily bypass and ignore, And most of the counties will be where they gallop!

What kind of city is the most difficult to attack? What kind of city is the best to attack? Putting aside the solidity of the city, the answer to these two questions is the same, the lonely city! It seems absurd, but it is not contradictory, the key is still in the belief of the defenders and the people in the city, the lonely city where everyone is determined to die and has no way to retreat will be the most difficult to break, and if the people's hearts are scattered, the will to fight is not strong, and the lonely city that is cut off from retreat will be just around the corner. King Yan will not despise Cao Jun's will to fight and the degree of trust of the people of Yanzhou in Cao Cao, but on such a vast battlefield, he will have countless methods to constantly attack the morale of his army and public opinion, it must be known that once the Yan army's iron cavalry is interspersed in place, the lonely city of Yanzhou will never be just one, and they will have a great impact on each other, and these will be used by the Yan army to the greatest extent.

There is also a difference in order among them, after Zhao Yun's various departments launched a substantial attack on several Xiongcheng, the interspersed iron cavalry battalion will be carried out in a very short period of time, first of all, what Liu Yi has to do is to search the strategic depth of the Cao army in Yanzhou, first force the tiger and leopard cavalry led by Xiahou Yuan to the situation of having to fight, and then concentrate the superior forces to gather and annihilate it! As soon as this enemy is broken, the Cao army in Yanzhou will lose contact and fall into a situation of fighting on their own, no matter how carefully they prepared before the battle, but the development of the battle situation is that no matter how you prepare, it is impossible to do all the changes, at this time the Yan army can break them as you like! Naturally, this is the Yan army's strategic conception of the battle of Yanzhou, whether it can achieve the goal step by step as scheduled depends on the execution ability of the various departments, these generals of the Cao army in Yanzhou are all experienced in a hundred battles, and the progress of the battle situation will never be as light as the general cloud and wind on paper, and it will definitely fight hard.

Arrived at Leping City, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun and others led the Liaodong Army and the Vermilion Bird Battalion in less than two days, but just a closer look at the Leping terrain Jingfang spent two days of effort, the four doors carefully explored and there were retinues from time to time on the scroll made of Liu Lang paper to write and paint, no matter how fine the map sand table is, after all, it is not as good as the field investigation, which is a necessary lesson before every siege in Gao Shun, in his eyes, these two days of time are extremely worthwhile, through careful observation of his strength and weakness of this Xiongcheng has been fully understood, The siege battle behind will be more targeted, it seems that the time of these two days is a bit wasted, but after it is possible to exchange for the lives of thousands of siege soldiers, the more you are on the verge of battle, the more calm you must be, Leping City under Gao Jingfang's move is similar to Cao Cao in Hanzhong thousands of miles away, both are good at attacking people!

However, when Gao Shun made up his mind and ordered the Liaodong Army to set up a position to prepare for the siege, the Cao army's offensive against Hanzhong had already taken the lead, and the offensive and defensive momentum of each side of the sky was reversed, and the game between Cao Cao and Liu Yi entered the moment when the bayonet was red, and without exception it was a fortification!
