The Kingdom's reinforcements will arrive in about two days, and the news of the capture of Xixian should also reach the Kingdom Army within a day. At present, the Huangfu Song army sent by the imperial court is still gathering, and it may not be able to reach the boundary of Liangzhou within ten days. As for the reinforcements from the two counties of Beidi and Anding in the north, I am afraid that it will take six or seven days to arrive in Hanyang County.

"The terrain of Xixian is long and narrow, with hills on both sides, and the cavalry of Xiliang is attacking us, and we are under great pressure to defend. From Wudu County to here, the supply line for dozens of miles is also easily cut off. Guo Yi looked at the map in front of him, his brows furrowed. This may be the first time he has faced tens of thousands of enemies, and this is not a problem that can be solved by charging into battle and beheading the enemy chieftain alone.

"Without a good horse, it is a question whether I can break through from the army." Guo Yi's mount is nothing more than an ordinary Mongolian pony. For the tall Guo Yi, this kind of horse is really useless except for walking, and it will even hinder him from charging into battle.

Yang Bo pointed his finger on the map all the way to the west, and sighed: "The general has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and he must have a Dawan horse, and if he wants to obtain a Dawan horse, he must first dredge the Western Regions, and if he does not break the Liangzhou rebels, it is almost impossible to want a Dawan horse." ”

Dawan horses are tall and athletic, just right for tall generals to ride. The most famous red rabbit horse in the Three Kingdoms is the Dawan horse, whether it is Lu Bu or Guan Yu, the red rabbit is the best treasure. A dwarf Mongolian horse will not be able to satisfy a fierce general!

"It is imperative to find a way to deal with the Kingdom Army. This place in Xixian is not easy to keep. "As long as the kingdom army can be wiped out, it is only a matter of time before Dawan Ma can be obtained, and what is burning at the moment is how to hold the fruits of victory.

Yang Bo analyzed: "In the kingdom army, the best use of soldiers is Han Sui and Ma Teng. The Xiliang cavalry under their command came and went like the wind, and this small Xixian was afraid that it would be difficult to resist. ”

Guo Yi asked, "What about our supply lines?" ”

"It was transported from the mountainous area in the south, and there were a lot of materials in the west county, so it would not be a problem to support it for five months."

"Headache." Guo Yi was a little confused, and ordered: "Call Zhang Ting over and ask him about the situation of the kingdom's army." ”

After a while, Zhang Ting came, with a silk letter. Presented the silk book to Guo Yi and introduced: "General, this is the situation of the royal army to collect grain last month. Most of the royal army is in Jixian and Shangguo, and they are planning to invade Youfufeng and seize Chang'an City. ”

Yang Bo read the data on the silk book and said in surprise: "If these grains are used as military funds, the kingdom army is only afraid of 100,000 people." Our army is only 3,000 men, what should we do? ”

Guo Yi said resolutely: "According to his calculations, our army also has 100,000 people. ”

"This ......" Yang Bo was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, and said happily: "If what the general said is true, then the kingdom army will send about 5,000 people at most to attack the city, and our army will have the strength to fight!" ”

In ancient times, the so-called 100,000 troops, 80,000 were logistics troops. One million stone of grain was transferred, and 900,000 stone was consumed on the logistics supply line. Inefficiency, waste, and looseness were the biggest drawbacks of ancient supply lines. As long as the army is a little strict and the command is tough, the supply efficiency can be slightly improved, and the enemy can be defeated.

Limited by the traffic conditions of the Han Dynasty, but also limited by their own knowledge reserves. Guo Yi's improvement of the supply line was not particularly successful, and even so, it reduced the number of logistics personnel by seven or eight tenths, and the utilization rate of grain increased by five or six times. With the same number of people and supplies, he had more combat troops and supplies that lasted longer.

Zhang Ting analyzed: "It is only ninety miles from Xixian to Shangguo County, and it is only one hundred miles to Jixian, and the cavalry can go back and forth in one day. Xixian's letter for help had been sent out two days earlier, and the Kingdom Army would arrive tomorrow at the latest. ”

"I have a plan!" Wang Yi's voice sounded, and she strode into the government hall and said proudly: "If there is such a plan, there will be no place to bury the army of the Discipline Kingdom!" ”

Wang Yi wore a red silk skirt, which was cut very close-fitting, removing the wide sleeves and long skirt, which looked very capable, and also outlined her good figure that was beginning to take shape. Liuyun sideburns are placed on the shoulders, and only a hairpin is used to erect the black silk, which is not decorated, but soft and natural.

Guo Yi pointed to the empty seat next to him, "Sit." ”

Zhang Ting's face was a little angry, according to the etiquette law, women can't go to the main table, let alone sit in the seats where men discuss military politics. But he is just a general, he has no right to speak, even if he is dissatisfied, he can only endure it first. glanced at Yang Bo, and saw that he had long been accustomed to it, and he didn't care.

"Tell me, what's your plan?"

"Draw wages from the bottom of the kettle!" Wang Yi pointed to Xixian and said: "Xixian is located in a valley, with high mountains on both sides, once the kingdom army attacks, it is condescending, and it is difficult for Xixian to resist." This point must have been experienced by the military for a long time. ”

Guo Yi nodded and said, "Hmm." I was just talking to them. Why don't you use your oil to besiege the city? ”

"Then if the kingdom army turns its spear and attacks Wudu, what should the general do?" Wang Wei smiled and asked, "I don't know how many men and horses the general left in Wudu County?" Thousand? Five hundred? ”

The siege of oil is suitable for a lonely city to be punctual and desperate, but Guo Yi still has territory outside of Xixian, and the siege of fire oil is tantamount to taking a dead end. Wudu County, which lacks a defense army, will be a piece of fat once it loses Guo Yi's support.

"You're right." Guo Yi admired Wang Yi's judgment, this woman's wisdom was really good. "And what do you mean by taking a salary?"

"Move all the people of Xixian out of the city, leaving an empty city. The kingdom came with nothing! The general could detour through the Western Han River and go north to attack Shangguo. Once successful, the Kingdom Army, which had lost Shangguo County, had no choice but to flee. ”

Yang Bo and Zhang Ting were dumbfounded when they heard this, they never expected a woman to have such courage! Moving out of the population of Xixian County, and then attacking Shangguo, this is a dangerous move, a mistake, and a loss in the whole game!

Yang Bo was the first to come back to his senses and sharply pointed out the biggest drawback of this strategy! "It's only a day's time since the Kingdom Army came here. To move out of the county's tens of thousands of people, I'm afraid it's too late. Even if he can leave Xixian, he can't get rid of the pursuit of the cavalry of the Kingdom Army. It is also difficult for our army to make a detour through the Western Han Dynasty to attack Shangguo in a short period of time. ”

Zhang Ting also agreed, "This plan is too risky! Our army made a detour from Xixian to the West Han River, and then rushed to Shangguo, a journey of more than 150 miles, which would take at least one day. And it is still unknown how many defenders there are in Shangguo, once the garrison is tens of thousands, our army is in danger! ”

Wang Yi said proudly: "If it weren't for such a dangerous move, would the two of you have a good strategy to break the enemy?" ”

......Yang Bo and Yang Bo are not generals, and they are more suitable to be analysts and think tanks than strategists who decide military operations. It's a bit of a struggle for them to come up with a better plan.

Seeing that the two of them couldn't refute, Wang Yi was full of confidence and asked, "What does the general think?" ”

Guo Yi was silent, Yang Bo and the others were right, Wang Yi's strategy was too idealistic. It is almost impossible to complete the relocation of civilians and the transfer of troops in a single day. It's not a question of his ability, it's determined by the objective conditions of the means of transport!

Mongolian horses can indeed reach Shangguo by galloping in one night, and then what? The horses were already exhausted, and when they were tired of men and horses, they would only become live targets, and they would not be able to attack the city at all. The generals who can rush for hundreds of miles to attack the city and defeat the enemy, looking at the 4,000-year history of China's war, are only three or five people!

With the Dragon Bone Dan? If you give the horse the Dragon Bone Pill, you can quickly restore the horse's physical strength, then it is possible to attack the city overnight! But Shangguo is a prosperous metropolis in Liangzhou, not to mention that the city wall is well repaired, and the tens of thousands of garrisons that may exist alone will not allow him to take the city overnight.

Guo Yi sighed and said, "Let me think twice." ”
