In late October, at noon, a round of scorching sun hung in the middle of the sky, and the sun was fierce.

Hakuba Pass!

The headquarters of the two major army camps of the Wu army, the Bashu war elephants, and the generals and staff officers lingered around this rectangular conference table, and the atmosphere was sometimes a little joyful, sometimes a little gloomy, and the battle report from the front line was half happy and half sad.

Syllable!

Chen Zhi glared angrily, and slapped a book case with one palm: "Damn, we never thought that it was the Wei army that actually struck first, and my 37th Cavalry Division was almost wiped out!" ”

The ambush battles before and after the battle at Jinyuetan were calculated by them, but they didn't expect that before that, the 37th Division had been surrounded and killed.

While they were calculating the Wei army, they forgot that the Wei army would also calculate them.

In the first thought, when they gave the order, they did not let the 37th Division pull out the camp and go south early, which finally led to the Wei army attacking first and sending troops to surround and kill his 37th Division, so that the cavalry division under Chen Zhi's command was greatly injured.

If it weren't for the battle of Jinyuetan in the back, which made them ruthlessly win back one percent, I am afraid that they would lose the advantage of being the first in this battle.

"Our reaction was a little slower, I didn't expect the Wei army to attack so decisively!"

Zhuge Liang sat next to him, wearing a Confucian robe, his eyes were deep, and a silver dollar was playing between the fingers of his right hand, his expression was extremely calm, he thought about it, and said to Fa Zheng in a deep voice: "Chief of Staff of Law, tell me about the results of the battle of Jinyuetan?" ”

The battle is over.

Victory!

But it was a tragic victory, and the casualties of the 37th Division alone overshadowed the results of this battle, but it was still an undeniable victory.

"Report to the Overseers!"

Fa Zheng stood up, then spread out a battle report sent back from Jinyuetan in his hand, and carefully explained to the generals and staff officers in the camp: "The battle of Jinyuetan. At dawn today, the curtain had completely ended, and our Bashu Army gathered the 39th Division of the 10th Army and the 38th Naval Division of the 11th Army, plus the remnants of the 37th Cavalry Division, and ambushed them front and rear. defeated the cavalry of the Wei army, annihilated more than 6,000 enemies, and captured more than 3,000 prisoners, but the main general of the Wei army, Zhang Ren, broke through, and the other main general, Yang Xiu, was not caught, overall, it was a great ambush! ”

In fact, this battle was generally very beautiful, ambushed before and after, and annihilated nearly tens of thousands of Wei cavalry. It is equivalent to crippling the combat effectiveness of the Wei army's surprise attack.

Fa Zheng had to admire Zhuge Liang's ability in his heart at this moment.

He was able to plan such a sniper battle as soon as he came.

After all, it is not easy to fight the result of this battle, the calculation must be accurate step by step, the first step is to choose the battlefield, when none of them saw the battlefield of Jinyuetan, Zhuge Liang saw it.

Luring the Wei army into Jinyuetan is not the point, the point is that he used the advantage of the waterway to block the back road of Jinyuetan, which is the essence of this ambush battle, fighting an ambush battle of front and back. It was a great battle.

Of course, there were some flaws in this battle.

Something went wrong with the lure.

Originally, I thought that as long as the 37th Division pulled out the camp and went south. They were able to lure the Wei army into pursuit without paying too much price, but the Wei army sent troops to surround the 37th Division one step ahead of them, resulting in heavy casualties among the 37th Division's cavalry division.

"This battle can wipe out tens of thousands of cavalry of the Wei army, and it can be regarded as a heavy demoralization of the Wei army!" Zhuge Liang said: "This battle is a good start, and it can be reported to the Military Aircraft Department." Let the court also be happy! ”

"Overseer, but our casualties are not small!"

Chen Zhi's face was gloomy, looking at Zhuge Liang's face, his eyebrows raised, and a cold thought suddenly flashed in his heart: "Although many enemy troops have been annihilated. But my 37th Division, the most elite cavalry division under my command, was almost incapacitated! ”

"There will be casualties in a war!"

Zhuge Liang looked calm, and said indifferently: "We have to be able to afford to win the battle, but also to bear the defeat, after the encounter, we are one step slower than them, even if we can't let the 37th Division withdraw from the range of Savage Gully, we have to bear this cruel result, I suggest you withdraw the 37th Division!" ”

"Good!"

Chen Zhi thought about it and nodded.

The 37th Division had to retire and recuperate, but they were cavalry, and they did not have such a good way to replenish their troops, and it would take at least a year or two to replenish their combat effectiveness under the severe loss of vitality.

"Overseer, what do we do next?" Xu Sheng raised his head, his eyes were lifelike, looked at Zhuge Liang, and asked.

"What's next?"

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he squinted slightly, and a confident smile rose at the corner of his mouth.

He stood up, walked to a sand table next to him, put his finger on the side, and pointed to a position: "They should move, this powerful army of soldiers and horses will be the most important combat power in this battle!" ”

"The Fourteenth Army?"

The generals hurriedly walked up, looking at the position pointed by Zhuge Liang with a pair of eyes, and someone shouted out, this position is Yinping Dao, where the Fourteenth Army is now stationed.

"It's okay to move, but to the north or to the west?"

Chen Zhi thought for a moment and asked.

To the north is to attack Wudu, and to the west is to enter the Baimaqiang tribe.

"Bright to the west, the main force to the north!"

Zhuge Liang's eyes suddenly burst out with a sharp light: "If this is a Keju competition, the previous one was just a warm-up, and now it can be regarded as the beginning of the competition between the strength of the two sides, I want to take the lead, go all out to encircle and debate, and annihilate their main force in one fell swoop!" ”

"Yes!"

When the generals heard this, their hearts suddenly exploded with fighting intent and high momentum.

After the meeting was dismissed, Chen Zhi thought about it, and suddenly left Zhuge Liang behind, there were only the two of them in the quiet barracks, he stared at Zhuge Liang with a touch of coldness in the depths of his eyes: "Overseer, you tell you the truth, did you deliberately negligent and let the 37th Division as bait!" ”

He didn't believe that Zhuge Liang couldn't see this.

If Zhuge Liang already knew, why did he leave this flaw?

"If you guessed it, why did you say it!"

Zhuge Liang was silent for a while, but he did not deny it.

"Overseer, that's thousands!" Chen Zhi was suddenly furious, and glared at him angrily: "How can you suddenly see it!" ”

"Uncle Zhi. If you want to win, you have to pay! ”

Zhuge Liang said indifferently: "On the battlefield, there are not too many victories without a single soldier, if there is no bait, do you think the Wei army will take the bait?" ”

"But do you know that if the 37th Army can't support the Wei army's strong attack. If they didn't escape from the encirclement of the Wei army at all, didn't they die in vain? Chen Zhi shouted angrily.

"I know Gao Pei, he has the ability to rush out!" Zhuge Liang said confidently.

"I didn't know you were so crazy!" Chen Zhi gritted his teeth, and he felt more and more that Zhuge Liang was a little strange.

"Uncle Zhi, it's not that I haven't changed, it's just that you have changed!"

Zhuge Liang looked at his mature face and smiled slightly: "Now you are the commander of the Bashu Legion with an army of more than 100,000 troops, but you are the little soldier with thousands of elite white-eared soldiers back then." You have a lot of responsibility in you, so you care! ”

"I won't allow your son of mine to be used as bait!" Chen Zhi took a deep breath and said categorically.

"All I do is to win this battle, as long as I can win Liangzhou, I can be more ruthless!"

Zhuge Liang said calmly: "And Shuzhi, you know one thing very well in your heart, I am just an overseer, I can give you advice." It's up to you whether you accept it or not, you are the master of this battle! ”

――――――――――――――――――――

Evening. Lower Debate City.

In the Wei army camp, the soldiers of the Wei army, who had just suffered a big defeat, were in a wail everywhere, and their morale plummeted and they were lifeless.

The main account of the camp.

Sima Yi sat in the first place, his fists clenched. The face is gloomy.

Yang Xiu sat next to him dejectedly.

Zhang Ren sat on the left, his helmet had been taken off, and his hair was hanging down, but his armor had not been taken off, and he was covered in blood. Obviously, he had just returned: "General Sima, the responsibility for this battle lies with me, but I was greedy for a while, and fell into the hands of the Wu army, resulting in the loss of tens of thousands of cavalry!" ”

"I don't blame you, it's just that I didn't expect Wu Jun to be able to clearly guess our thoughts, and I have already guessed that we will take attack as defense and take the initiative to attack, and they are also using a division as bait, they are ruthless enough!"

Sima Yi was like a wild wolf who met an opponent, his eyes were full of wisps of fighting intent, and he said coldly: "Among the Wu army in Bashu, who has such courage, Chen Zhi, Xu Sheng, or Fa Zheng?" ”

"Chen Zhi shouldn't be!"

When Zhang Ren heard this, his heart moved, squinted slightly, and said: "As far as I know, this general has always loved soldiers like sons, and when he was under Liu Bei's command, he loved the soldiers very much, and he was definitely not the kind of person who disregarded the lives of the soldiers!" ”

"That's Fazheng?"

Sima Yi's eyes were like blades: "Does he have this ruthlessness?" ”

"Fa Zheng fought with me last year, although it was a skirmish, but I still know his style, he is very powerful, good at offensive layout, but this battle is so cruel but not like his handwriting!" Yang Xiu suddenly spoke.

"Let the ghost pawn check this matter, I don't care who it is!"

Zhang Ren sighed, Xiao Se's face became resolute, he is not the kind of person who can't afford to lose, although frustration is inevitable, but it will not affect his calmness, he said in a deep voice: "General Sima, we lost the first move in this battle, the ambush battle of Jinyuetan caused us a lot of damage to our cavalry, cavalry is the guarantee of attack, now our attack will be weakened, then we must shrink our own defense line, the strategy of attacking and defending is estimated to be unworkable, we can only defend to the death, now we have to lay out a solid defense line under the following defense, There is also to make Chang'an also vigilant, I am afraid that the military will not be able to keep it, and I am even more afraid that the Wu army will repeat its old tricks, attack the east and the west, and attack Chang'an! ”

"Do you think they will fight Chang'an?"

When Sima Yi heard this, he shook his head, and there was a trace of uncertainty in his eyes: "No, their target must be Liangzhou, even if Chang'an is sneak attacked, they can't take it, it will only lead to a full-scale battle!" ”

"It's hard to say, Dongwu is now wealthy, although the casualties in the First World War of Kwantung are not small, but their troops are still strong, they may not be able to fight a full-scale battle, and the most important thing is that no one knows what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the Wu army now!"

Zhang Ren smiled bitterly and said: "It is estimated that Luoyang already knows the news from us here, to what extent we want to fight this battle, whether to defend Wudu or retreat to Xiliang, it all depends on Your Majesty's decision, let's wait a while, use static braking, arrange the defensive line, and see the movement of the Wu army now, and then make a decision!" ”

"After the Battle of Jinyuetan, I have immediately written to Your Majesty, asking to retreat to Xiliang!"

Sima Yi said suddenly.

With the current situation, Wudu County is not easy to defend, if they can take the initiative to lead the army to retreat to Xiliang, the home field of Xiliang Land can be used to deal with the Wu army.

If you defend Wudu to the death, then the day when the next argument is broken by the Wu army is also the day when Liangzhou is taken.

"Retreating to Xiliang is the best strategy, but Your Majesty may not agree!"

Zhang Ren can also see the current battle situation, if they can lead the main force to retreat to Xiliang and abandon Wudu, this is the final strategy, but he thinks that Cao Cao may not be able to see this. (To be continued.) )
