Chapter 214: Sand and Earth Build a Wall of Stone
After reading the letter, Budugen showed it to the rest of his subordinates.
Wolf mud said: Zhang Jie has a big breath, he still wants us to surrender and dream at this time.
Brothers, tell me whether we should fight or not? Budugen asked.
Zhang Jie chose the battlefield in the grassland north of the city, which is beneficial to our cavalry. The grassland in the north of the city is open land within a radius of more than ten miles. Neither side is likely to set up any ambush.
The scout came to report that Zhang Jie only had 50,000 cavalry, and we also had more than 50,000 cavalry outside the city. The cavalry on both sides was about the same. It's just that the Huns said that we want to hold on for a month, if we fight a decisive battle now, wouldn't we fight Zhang Jie alone? But when the Huns came back a month later, the war was over.
Wolf mud said: Anyway, it's better to fight than to fight early, our warriors have grown up on horseback since childhood, and they are afraid that the Han people will not succeed. Defeat Zhang Jie as soon as possible, and we can occupy the entire state as soon as possible.
Fuluo Han Dao: The Han people have experienced harm in foot warfare, but riding and archery has always been our strength, and the battlefield is in the grassland north of the city, and we are not afraid of the tricks of the Han people. I think I can handle it.
Good! In that case, let's fight. Come on, you go to Zhang Jie's military camp and say that I promised him, and there will be a decisive battle outside the north city at noon the day after tomorrow. Promise!
Zhang Jie's military camp, Zhang Jie said: Just now, Bu Dugen sent someone to agree to fight. In other words, there is still one day to prepare tomorrow, do you have anything else to say?
Liu Mengdao: What if the Xianbei people go back to the city again?
Zhang Jie glanced at him and said: I can't wait for all the Xianbei people to stay in the city, so that Lao Tzu can wipe them all out without a single soldier.
Wei Yandao: Mr. Wenhe's strategy is to use infantry in the middle to resist, and the cavalry on both sides will outflank in a roundabout way, but the last general estimates that Budugen will also send troops to outflank the two sides. It is impossible for so many people on both sides to spread it all at once. It's very difficult to outflank.
Zhang Jie said: Wen Chang rest assured, Jie has a calculation in his heart, and you will know when the time comes. You just have to kill the enemy.
The next day, both sides were preparing for the war, everyone was a little nervous, Zhang Jie came to the army, comforted everyone, and occasionally joked with everyone.
That night, Zhang Jie called all the generals and began to give orders.
Zhang Jie said: Tomorrow is the decisive battle, but we have to prepare tonight. Because we can't let the Xianbei people suspect that we have some ambush, we can only go to the grassland battlefield in the north of the city tomorrow morning. If you go early, you may make the enemy suspicious.
The congregation will give command, and from now on go down and fill all our sacks of grain, and the sacks that we have brought, with sand. Tomorrow after dawn they are all placed on horseback and covered with clothing. Then take it to the battlefield in the north of the city.
Remember to hide so that the enemy doesn't find out, and again, tomorrow the sack should be covered with clothes during the day. Can't let the Xianbei Horse Explorers find out,
Promise!
Liu Mengdao: What does the lord want these sandbags for? Is it possible to use him to smash the enemy to death?
Zhang Jiedao: Don't ask why? You'll know tomorrow.
Do you understand?
I see.
Well, go ahead and prepare now! Promise!
After everyone left, Jia Xu said: Is the lord planning to build a simple city wall with sandbags to block the enemy's cavalry charge?
Zhang Jiedao: Yes, not all, I want to use some sandbags to build a bunker. Part of the triangular city wall.
Wenhe, our soldiers and infantry can't catch up with the enemy's cavalry, but how can we play their role?
I've been thinking of a way all this time, and I've finally come up with this one.
Wen He, you said that if sandbags were made into "Ya" shaped openings like palace straights, the openings were fifty paces wide, and the deeper they went, the narrower they were, what would be the scene for a large group of cavalry to rush in?
Yes! If you rush in like this, you'll be crowded in a pile, and it's unlikely that you'll turn around. Jia Xu said.
Ha ha! That's what I thought, and we piled sandbags into a zigzag wall. Wide in the front and narrow in the back. Hand and pikemen stood behind sandbags, each wall in a triangular shape, and the infantry stood inside to shoot the enemy. Make dozens more ring bunkers. Bunkers are actually high platforms made of sand. The hand is condescending on it. Shoot the enemy, and the enemy's cavalry can't rush up, even if the enemy shoots back with a bow and arrow, it is a back attack. It doesn't work well.
And all of our 50,000 cavalry are used to outflank us. The Xianbei people will definitely use a roundabout outflanking tactic. It's common sense!
But our 50,000 cavalry are all used to outflank the left and right, and there are infantry in the middle to suppress the formation, so the Xianbei people would never have thought that our cavalry was a roundabout cavalry specially designed to deal with him. We'll definitely be in a mess, and then we'll be able to attack on all fronts. At that time, let Zilong's heavy armored cavalry break through in the middle. Then came the full pursuit.
Wonderful. The lord's method is more clever than the old man's middle and left and right roundabouts. Jia Xu said.
Wen He has already talked about it, Jie just listened to your strategy and improved it, but in fact, it is still your strategy.
Hahahaha!
Early the next morning, Zhang Jie gave an order in the military tent.
Zhang Yan listens to orders!
The end will be!
I order you to take 20,000 men to guard this large camp and protect all the grain and grass. You are not allowed to attack the enemy without my orders.
Yes! Well, why don't you let me fight? Zhang Yandao!
How dare you disobey? Zhang Jie said!
The last will not dare.
If! Zhang Yan replied.
Then Zhang Jie opened a drawing, which showed a "Ya"-shaped city wall and bunker made of sandbags.
Zhang Jiedao: You can see clearly, after going to the grassland in the north of the city, the sandbags should be placed according to my map.
Everyone is a soldier and has experienced a lot of wars. As soon as you look at the drawings, you can see the subtlety.
Ju Yidao: The lord is clever, so he uses sandbags to build the city wall. The enemy cavalry must have come and gone. Haha, my hands are finally ready to show their skills.
Wei Yandao: The lord is really a whimsical idea, this is built with sandbags to build more than a dozen girl-shaped city walls. The mouth is wide, but the inside is narrow. Don't think about turning back when you rush in, it's interesting. Ha ha.
But do we have this sandbag?
Zhang Jie said: If there are not enough sandbags, just use grain, bags of grain, piled up with sand and soil.
Do you all remember it clearly?
The people replied: I remember clearly.
This is clear at a glance, but it is actually not difficult. It's just that the enemy didn't expect it. If the enemy sees it, he will understand it at first sight. For the sake of secrecy, I am telling you now. Zhang Jie said.
Well, except for Zhang Yan to stay. The rest of the people were ready to leave immediately.
Promise!
After everyone left, Zhang Yan was left, and Zhang Jie said: Brother, do you know why I asked you to stay and guard the camp?
Zhang Yan felt a little uncomfortable in her heart and said: I don't know.
Zhang Jie said: First, it is very important to guard the camp, this multi-person horse grain and grass are all here, and a reliable person must guard it.
Second, there are no eyes on the battlefield, Yu'er is just your brother, I don't want you to have any accidents.
Besides, Jie doesn't have any relatives, and Jie hopes that his brother will help Jie guard more places in the future. Instead of leading the troops to charge, it is brave to be a horseman.
