Text Chapter 33 A Thousand Miles to Help

Gongsun Zhan, a white horse general, made a name for himself in foreign wars.

The Wuhuan people often put the portrait of Gongsun Chan on the straw man, and let the soldiers ride and shoot, and those who can hit the army are called warriors. It can be seen that Gongsun Zhan's ability to hate, Bai Ma Yi is from where he is, and he doesn't see Hu people.

Don't look at Gongsun Zhan's invincibility in foreign wars, but in the Battle of Jieqiao, Yuan Shao annihilated the White Horse Yicong in one fell swoop, making this ace army with great feats disappear in history like a meteor.

The reason for this is that Gongsun Chan was arrogant and let the light cavalry fight against the bow and crossbow troops in the wrong geographical location, and fell into Juyi's ambush.

It is believed that Bai Ma Yi is invincible from the world, and the Hu cavalry is not an opponent, let alone the infantry of the Central Plains.

Water is impermanent, and soldiers are impermanent. Because the generals don't understand the geographical advantages, they don't know the advantages and disadvantages of each class, and they are too immersed in the past successes, how can they not be defeated.

According to the advantages and disadvantages of the troops, the heavy cavalry is generally afraid of the light cavalry, the light cavalry is afraid of the crossbow troops, and the crossbow troops are afraid of the heavy cavalry. This is the logic of offense and defense, and Gongsun Chan is completely attacking others' strengths with his own shortcomings.

Stupid, typical of fighting wars without brains.

Path dependency.

The success of the past has made Gongsun Chan form a path dependence, believing that in the face of the new situation, he will definitely succeed according to the old method.

What's even more ridiculous is that after the defeat of Gongsun Zhan, he built a fortress with decades of food in it. thinks that Yuan Shao will withdraw after a few days of siege, I am afraid that he was besieged by the Wuhuan people this time, and in the end, he will consume the successful experience left by the Wuhuan people to Gongsun Zhan.

Or path dependency.

The Wuhuan people besieged Gongsun Zan for nearly three hundred days, and they did not take Guanzi City, so they had no choice but to retreat, which was really unaffordable.

Looking at the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, Gongsun Chan is a good hand at the beginning, and he plays a bad game at the end.

Win all battles, lose and die.

"Naruhito, if you are allowed to lead the troops, you are almost certain that you will be able to rescue General Gongsun." Liu Yu is a loyal elder and an excellent leader. Hearing that Gongsun Chan was trapped, although he was annoyed that Gongsun did not obey military orders and pursued without authorization, he still wanted to rescue Gongsun Chan.

"Less than fifty percent. If you are well prepared, there is a sixty percent hope. Zhou Yi pondered for a while, but there was still the second half of the sentence that was not said, that is, there were fifty percent of the people and horses he brought who might also die in Xianbei.

Why didn't Zhou Yi say it, maybe Zhou Yi also wanted to fight with the Wuhuan people psychologically.

"Okay, then you will lead the troops to rescue Bergui." When Liu Yu heard it, he felt that this account could be played.

"How many soldiers and horses do you have to bring with you when Naruhito goes? If you have any requests, I will try my best to meet them. Liu Yu then asked.

"10,000 men are enough, 3,000 cavalry, 3,000 infantry, 4,000 crossbow troops. And a lot of bows and crossbows. Youzhou is not calm now, and the army is needed to maintain order. Zhou Yi thought about it. The Wuhuan people are also light cavalry, and there are less than 50,000 people, and Zhou Yi also plans to hire Xianbei people to fight, and Gongsun Zhan has nearly 20,000 people. This time I went to bring Gongsun Chan back, not to find a decisive battle with the Wuhuan people.

When the Xianbei people agreed to send troops to help, Zhou Yi's side was almost ready. In order to deal with the Wuhuan cavalry, Zhou Yi also deliberately rehearsed a new battle formation. Integrate the three-stage strike into the infantry battle formation.

However, after waiting for another month, Zhou Yi sent troops. Liu Yu came to ask once, and Zhou Yi explained the reason in detail, and Liu Yu didn't ask. Liu Yu is not only powerful in internal affairs, but also a person who commands the army, and knows how powerful it is.

The Wuhuan people are not good at attacking cities, and if they have the corresponding siege equipment, they will not be able to take the pipe city for a while.

This month, Zhou Yiyi was waiting for the sky, and the other was waiting for the Wuhuan people's combat power to decline. When the grass and trees on the grassland are yellow in autumn, the war horses will lose fat, and the combat power of the Wuhuan people will fall. It's not the time when the combat power is the strongest, this will affect the decision of the Wuhuan people, and they will not make up their minds to fight a decisive battle.

When the time came, Zhou Yi led his troops to rescue, galloped thousands of miles, and went deep into the territory of Xianbei. Because he has already agreed with the Xianbei people, there will be no obstacles along the way. After waiting for a hundred miles from Guanzi City, Zhou Yi chose a favorable terrain to set up camp.

Everyone was puzzled, didn't we go to relieve the siege, why did we stop here.

Zhou Yi had to explain to everyone.

We marched thousands of miles, and the soldiers were tired, and now we ran under the pipe city, and it didn't help. Now we are stationed here to restore our combat strength, and if the Wuhuan people want to come and fight us, then they will have to run for a hundred miles.

This is the reason why half of the march is the reason why half of the march is left to the enemy to run, consuming the enemy's physical strength and combat effectiveness. On the battlefield, you can only mobilize the enemy, not be mobilized by the enemy.

Therefore, there is a cloud in the art of war: to cause people but not to people.

Knowing the place of war, knowing the day of war, you can fight for thousands of miles.

The place and time you choose to fight, even if you run thousands of miles, it is not terrible.

Some people may think that Zhou Yi, as a traverser, has the aura of the protagonist, and there are fierce generals like Dian Wei Zhou Cang, who directly rushed up to kill for a while, and he will inevitably defeat the Wuhuan people. That's just thinking about it, these Zhou Yi don't have any of them, and in this era, you have to act according to the rules of this era, otherwise you will only become an existence that is brushed up by others.

Zhou Yi himself is a person with a very low risk factor, and he doesn't fight unprepared battles, so why take risks when there is a more secure way.

The Wuhuan people really gave face, and the next day a Wuhuan cavalry of 5,000 came to charge the camp.

Last time, Qiu Liju was stopped by the Han army and did not join Zhang Chun, resulting in the defeat of Zhang Chun's army. It was in the territory of the Han Dynasty, the terrain was complicated, the cavalry did not play its due role, and the leader was insidious and cunning, which made the Wuhuan cavalry return in vain.

And the Han army dared to come to the grassland to spread wild, and Gongsun Zhan in front of him was the end. Even the most elite troops of the Han Dynasty were besieged in the city, and they were afraid of the Han Chinese infantry, which numbered less than 10,000 men.

The opportunity for revenge has arrived.

It's a pity that Zhou Yi didn't give Qiu Liju this chance to take revenge. The steppe cavalry is powerful, but it is also tightly powerful, and it is not invincible. There is no invincible army in the world. The light cavalry has a congenital disadvantage against the bow and crossbow troops, not to mention that Zhou Yi also occupies a geographical advantage.

The life of the Wuhuan cavalry, the rain of arrows in the sky, seems to have an invisible death barrier between the Han army and the Wuhuan cavalry, and the Wuhuan cavalry can't pass through.

The corpses everywhere also affected the speed of the cavalry's charge, and the Wuhuan people could not take advantage of it, but left.

During this period, the Wuhuan people also wanted to lure the Han army to attack, and then charge with cavalry, but under Zhou Yi's fiery eyes, this trick should not be used to show ugliness.

Qiu Liju learned that the one who led the Han army this time was still the sinister and cunning general surnamed Zhou, and he broke more than a dozen wine glasses in a row. But what can be done, do you want your tribe to be killed and wounded in vain?

Fortunately, the Han army had no way to attack the Wuhuan people. As long as it is dispatched to the plains, the Han army can withstand the impact of the Wuhuan cavalry.

However, after fighting for such a long time, the money given by Zhang Chun has long been used up, and now he is eating his old book.

This battle was not cost-effective, and the Han army reopened the Shanggu trading market, and the generals under them were also fluctuating, thinking of going back to exchange goods with the Han people, and they could trade to obtain materials, who would still fight. Liu Yu is still relatively prestigious among the Hu people, and this battle is not easy to fight.

But Qiu Liju was unwilling, he paid so much, thousands of people died, and he just went back like this, it was really hard to swallow this breath. Besides, Zhang Chun is still here, and turning his back on his ally is not what Wuhuan people call it, even if this ally is a bit of a straw bag.

The current situation is chicken ribs, there is no meat to eat, and it is a pity to vomit.

The situation was stalemate for a while, and the Han army was unable to attack, but the Wuhuan people could not attack the Han army.

The arrival of the Xianbei people broke the situation, and the balance of the battlefield tilted in favor of the Han army.

Qiu Liju saw that there was only a withdrawal of troops. If you continue to fight, you won't know how to explain to Ta Dun Shan Yu when you go back.

Xianbei people sent Zhou Yi and Gongsun Zan out of the country as a gift.

Good along the way, no welcome to come back.
