Chapter 125 [Strange Burning of Enemy Food]
Wei Yan said his plan, and all the generals thought it was wonderful. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Chen Zhi was puzzled: "Lord, it is a wonderful plan to cut off the grain route of the Jingzhou army and burn their grain and grass, but there will be a problem in the end, how to go around behind them without them noticing?" ”
This question immediately knocked Wei Yan down, out of the three counties of Yiyang, it is the territory of Jingzhou, if you want to hide the enemy's eyes and ears in the enemy's territory, go around behind them, and cut off their grain route, how easy is it to talk about?
At this time, Xu Shu laughed loudly: "Lord, don't worry too much, my subordinates have traveled all over Jingzhou over the years, are familiar with the geography and terrain, and know that there is a mountain road, which can go around from Langling to behind Cai Maojun." ”
Wei Yan hurriedly ordered: "Bring the map!" ”
The map of Jingzhou, which was surveyed with the participation of the intelligence organization Fengying, and the detailed maps of the counties north of the Han River, were all spread out on the table.
Prior to this, Wei Yan had passed on all the knowledge he had learned in the 21st century about geographical topographic maps to Wei Yu and other members of the Wind Shadow Organization, who passed them on and gradually delineated them from one by one, gradually replacing the very abstract maps of this era, which had no scale to speak of.
When Xu Shu saw these maps, he had even more respect for Wei Yan, and only a wise lord like the lord could think of exquisite and accurate drawing methods such as scale and coordinates.
According to his recollections, he marked the route of the march on the map, and said with a smile: "My lord, it is not enough to just cut off the grain road, we must find out the place where the enemy's grain and grass are hoarded, and burn the enemy's grain and grass, once the grain and grass are burned, the enemy army will definitely retreat south." ”
Liao Hua said suspiciously: "Military division, the last general is puzzled, even if the grain and grass are burned, but the enemy army is still in Nanyang County, under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou, they should be able to collect grain and grass from those county seats, so that the army's morale will not collapse and retreat south!" ”
Xu Shu said with a smile: "General Yuanjian used to be in Runan, and he didn't know the situation in Nanyang County, the counties of Nanyang County had been looted by Zhang Xiu before, and the official warehouses in each county were very scarce, and they could only feed hundreds of people. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Shu arched his hand to Wei Yan and smiled: "Lord, my subordinates still have a plan, which can make Cai Mao and Zhang Yunnan lose their armor when they retreat, and defeat themselves without a fight!" ”
When Wei Yan heard Xu Shu's plan, he couldn't help laughing: "Yuan Zhi's plan is wonderful!" Cai Mao! Zhang Yun! This battle will let the world know that you are all waste of land warfare! ”
When Wei Yan and Wen Yang were ready, the information from the fine work that had been placed in the Jingzhou army also arrived in Langling, and it was found that the grain and grass of the Jingzhou army were gathered in a place called Yiqiuju.
Wei Yan and Wen Yang followed the marching route planned by Xu Shu, bypassed the main forces of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and went straight to the Jingzhou army's grain stronghold Yiqiu.
After Wei Yan and Wen Yang left, Chen Zhi led 5,000 infantry to stay in Langling, and Xu Shu, Wen Ping, and Fu Tong led the rest of the men and horses and surrendered troops back to Yiyang City and Fuyang City, and of course, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Yu Ban, and Man Chong were four captives.
Now Wei Yan is not in a hurry to surrender, let alone negotiate, and Cao Cao can't hold back to talk to himself.
At this time, the three counties of Yiyang were strong and clear, and the 30,000 horses of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were waiting for them.
Although the mountain road is rugged and difficult to travel, and many places have to lead horses, Wei Yan, a thousand elite horsemen, has been trained by him personally, not only proficient in cavalry tactics, but also good at mountain warfare and wilderness survival.
Yiqiuju is a big settlement, when Liu Xiu attacked Wang Mang, it was revealed, and now it has declined, but it is frequently close to the tributary of the Han River, and the grain and grass from Xiangyang City pass through the Han River and are transported to Yiqiuju, as the most important center of the grain and grass supply of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's 30,000 army.
For example, like the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's black nest.
From Langling all the way to the west, one horse Pingchuan, you can directly fight to Yiqiuju, but in that case, you will definitely encounter Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's main forces.
Therefore, Wei Yan rode through the difficult mountain road in Tongbai Mountain, went around in a circle, and suddenly appeared in Yiqiuju.
Wei Yan's battle goal is now to burn Yiqiu Ju, just like Cao Cao burned the black nest in history.
Cao Cao burned the black nest, and Yuan Shao's army of more than 100,000 suddenly collapsed, so if Wei Yan burned Yiqiuju, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's generation were not as good as Yuan Shao, I'm afraid it would collapse faster!
Now, Cai Mao has only released 3,000 men and horses in Yiqiuju, and asked his brother Cai Zhong to guard the grain and grass here.
Cai Zhong, like Chun Yuqiong of Wuchao, felt that this was in the rear of his army, and now Wei Yan's main force should still be fighting with Cao Jun in Langling, it was too peaceful here, so he drank a few more glasses of wine and fell asleep with a woman in his arms.
At dawn, it was the time when everyone slept the deepest, and the guards on the wall of the Tunliang camp where Yiqiu gathered were all leaning against the wall, falling asleep, and their saliva was long stretched.
At this time, a group of black shadows suddenly appeared, they threw their flying claws, deftly climbed the wall, lightly wiped the necks of the guards with daggers, and then quietly opened the gate of the wall.
When Wei Yan's 1,000 cavalry rushed into the village, the Jingzhou army reacted, but it was already too late.
A thousand elite horsemen rushed into the Jingzhou soldiers who were yawning with uneven armor, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, rampage, like entering a no-man's land, killing the Jingzhou soldiers to flee in all directions, and the army could not be formed.
Cai Zhong was woken up by his own soldiers, hurriedly put on his clothes, and rode a horse to engage in battle, but found that the other party was actually cavalry, and the leader was Wei Yan.
Wei Yan had a black horse under his crotch, a red blood knife in his palm, and the red blood knife was like a bloody rainbow, taking away the heads of five or six Jingzhou soldiers every time.
was so frightened that Cai Zhong's soul was in danger, so he quickly turned his horse and fled.
Now it's too late to escape, Wei Yan rode his horse to chase after him.
Cai Zhong hurriedly shouted: "Stop him, stop him for me!" ”
Some Jingzhou soldiers didn't know what was at stake and stepped forward to stop Wei Yan.
Wei Yan killed all the way, as if chopping waves, instantly killing a bloody road, and came straight to Cai Zhong.
Cai Zhong saw that the speed of his war horse was far inferior to Wei Yan, and he couldn't run, so he had to hold his spear tightly and turn around to fight back.
The red blood knife in Wei Yan's hand swung it like a blood-colored dragon attacking.
Cai Zhong raised the spear in his hand and hurriedly parried.
With a click, the spear was cut off by the Red Blood Knife, and the Red Blood Knife slashed Cai Zhong's helmet, Cai Zhong fell off his horse with a thud, and immediately fainted.
After a short time, more than 1,000 Jingzhou troops were killed, more than 1,000 were captured, and 7,800 people fled to the grain ships on the water.
Wei Yan now wants to burn all the ten granaries in this camp, which contain nearly 30,000 stones of grain and grass, which is equivalent to about 1.8 million catties of grain.
If it were someone else, it would definitely be burned directly, but Wei Yan would not be like this.
He first gave the order to go down, and ordered his soldiers to cut down the grass and trees, pile them on the granary, and then pour oil on them.
The fire went to the sky, as if the grain and grass had been completely burned.
In fact, the 1.8 million catties of grain have been taken away by the seed artifact.
It turned out that the seed artifact came with a seed space, which could be used as a transfer station for all kinds of seeds, and this space was very large, and the Mayan corn seeds were first obtained here, cultivated, and then handed over to Wei Yan.
