Chapter 760: The situation is in my favor
readx;
Anzhou is surrounded by mountains, the east is Mayu Mountain, the west is the Bashang Plateau, the south is the Yanshan that stretches for thousands of miles, the north is the flat pine forest and the pine mountain, and there are only four main roads in and out of Anzhou, of which the southeast direction is through the Mayu Mountain to the west of Liaoning, the northeast direction is through the Songshan to the weak Luoshui, the northwest direction is through the flat pine forest to the desert, the south over the Yanshan Great Wall is Youzhou, the terrain is very dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

There are many rivers in Anzhou, most of them originate from the Bashang Plateau in the west, rush down into the sea in the southeast, only Suotou water comes from the flat pine forest, runs through the Anzhou Plain in the south and joins the wet water, and the main settlement of Anzhou people is on the first line of Suotoushui, the important cities in Anzhou are on both sides of Suotoushui, and the only traffic artery in Anzhou also goes hand in hand with Suotoushui. This north-south traffic artery is the lifeline of Anju, and it runs through Anju while connecting the four main roads in and out of Anju.
Now the alliance army is in the flat pine forest, on the northwest road in and out of Anzhou, the next task of the alliance army is to kill the important town of Suotou Water upstream Ghost Fang with lightning speed, and then along the Suotou River roaring south for more than 400 miles, all the way through the pass to attack the city and pull out the village, until the Great Wall of Yanshan Gubeikou.
"We must kill Gubeikou as quickly as possible, open up the connection between Anzhou and Youzhou, and obtain the support of grain and grass weapons from Youzhou to ensure the lasting attack power of the army." Li came here to look at the generals in the tent, his expression was serious, "There is no need to repeat the importance of Gubeikou to us, so there is only one requirement, this time the vanguard army must attack south, we must do whatever it takes, we must overcome all difficulties, not to mention the gains and losses of one city and one place, only seek speed." The faster we are, the sooner we will reach Gubeikou, the more timely we will be replenished with grain, grass and weapons, and the greater our certainty of capturing Anzhou. ”
The generals of the alliance had solemn expressions, and they all knew that whether they could reach Gubeikou in time was indeed related to the survival of the army, but the continuous supply of grain, grass and weapons did not mean that the alliance would be able to capture Anzhou as it wished, and this battle was very difficult, far greater than imagined.
"In order to ensure that we can reach Gubeikou as quickly as possible, the troop allocation of the Xuanfeng Army needs to be significantly adjusted." Li Fengyun continued, "Before making this adjustment, we must first carry out a new round of reorganization of the Thunder Horse Army. ”
Before, the Thunder Horse Army had four armies, about 4,000 horsemen, and now the horse thieves in the flat pine forest will also join the Thunder Army, and the Thunder Army will be expanded to 6,000 horsemen, and the establishment will definitely be adjusted. In the construction of the Ma Army, Li Fengyun took care of everything, and no one could interfere, and he did not allow others to interfere.
Li Fengyun made a new transformation of the Thunder Army. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th armies of Thunder were formed, each with two provinces under its jurisdiction and five regiments under each province. Hu Yanjian, the commander of the Thunder First Army, Luo Bachao, the commander-in-chief, and An Beihai, the deputy in charge of the Thunder First Army, each led a mansion and two thousand horsemen. Mi Yong, the commander of the Second Thunder Army, Gao Hu, the commander, and Chi Xiaodou Tieyi, the commander, each received a mansion and two thousand horsemen. Hu Luba, the commander of the Thunder Third Army, and Yu Qi, the chief manager, temporarily governs a government and a thousand horsemen. The head of the Fourth Army of Thunder is six catties of Jingjiang, and the head of Erzhu Tianxiao is deputy, temporarily under the jurisdiction of a government and a thousand horses.
According to this reorganization plan, the consolidation and expansion of the 6,000 cavalry, which had uneven combat effectiveness, into four armies seemed to be very strong, but in fact it turned a limited advantage into a disadvantage, and not only failed to bring into play the combat effectiveness of the elite control strings in the horse army, but on the contrary reduced the overall combat effectiveness of the horse army.
At this critical moment, the reorganization of the Ma army should be to concentrate all the elite control strings together, so as to give full play to the combat effectiveness of the Ma army, but Li Fengyun did the opposite, although Li Fengyun's purpose may be to use this method to bring the old to the new, to train in battle, and to strive to significantly improve the combat effectiveness of the Ma army in the shortest possible time, but the risk is too great, and if it is not done well, it will be a good intention to do bad things, and the success will fall short.
It's just that no one questioned it face-to-face, after all, the alliance army was able to enter the flat pine forest in such a short period of time, basically unscathed, and completed the first step of the plan to recover Anzhou, which can be said to be a miracle, and the birth of this miracle is obviously directly related to Li Fengyun's strategy, especially Li Zixiong, Han Shige, Zhou Zhong, Lai Yuan and other nobles who participated in this strategy The most profound feelings. Their previous distrust of Li Fengyun and their suspicions about this strategy have all disappeared with the safe entry of the army into Anzhou, and at this moment, in order to successfully recover Anzhou, they have decided to follow Li Fengyun's orders and obey Li Fengyun's words, even if they have doubts about Li Fengyun's decision, they will only put it in their hearts, because they themselves are not capable of creating miracles, so they can only hope for Li Fengyun.
"There are five tribes of the Xi tribe, the king of humiliation, Mohefu, Qige, Mukun, and Mude, each of which is handsome by Ji Jin, and the strong A Huizheng is the king." Li Fengyun stood in front of the map, with Suotoushui as the center, and his fingers drew a large circle along Mayu Mountain, Yan Mountain, Bashang Plateau, Pingdi Pine Forest and Songshan, "Among the three major ethnic groups of Xia, Xi and Khitan in the northeast, the Xi nationality has the smallest territory, and it is bordered by Youzhou Liaoxi in Middle Earth, the southeast of the desert, and the residence of the Khitan and Xia people, which can be described as a strong enemy. The reason why the Xi people have persisted until now is entirely because the Turks, the Xia, the Khitans and other Eastern Hu captives need a buffer zone in the face of the behemoth of Middle Earth, and Middle-earth also needs such a buffer zone to alleviate the contradictions between the north and the south before the national strength is not enough to support them to sweep away the foreign captives, so although the Xi people have survived tenaciously, the living environment is very bad, and they are desperately struggling in the cracks of the struggle of the great powers, it is difficult to develop, and there is little hope for the future. The people of Xi will not sit idly by, so they must break through the encirclement of the great powers and win a bigger and better living space for themselves. ”
"Among the enemies around the Xi Clan, Middle-earth and the Great Desert are too powerful, they are their suzerains, and they can only use it, not fight it. Although the strength of the Xi people is weak, but the two sides are separated by a flat pine forest, which is difficult to cross, and the Xi people are loyal vassals of the Turks, with the full support of the Turks, and the Xi people attacking the Xi people is actually equivalent to offending the Turks. And more importantly, the Xia people live in the north of the weak Luoshui, barren and barren, the ancestors of the Xi people have lived there for generations, and they have wanted to go south to occupy a better habitat for generations. In the end, there was a Khitan with similar strength left. ”
"The Khitan people's settlement is mainly located in the plain area south of the weak Luoshui, which is adjacent to the Xi people and the Murowei people in the northwest direction, the Xihe and the Liaodong in the southwest direction, and the Far Eastern captives such as Goguryeo and the Yan Dynasty in the northeast. From this, it can be seen that there is only one Middle Earth that can really threaten the survival of the Khitans, and other Far Eastern captives such as Goguryeo, Yao, and Murowei cannot threaten it, let alone the Xi people, and the Turks are too far away from it, and they will only choose 'distant intercourse' for long-distance and close attacks. In this way, of course, the Xi people used the Khitan people as a breakthrough point to launch an attack on the Khitan densely populated Tosu Chenshui line, which would inevitably win the support of Middle-earth, and Middle-earth did support it. The Khitans' response was to form an alliance with the Goguryeo, Ya, Murowei and Xia tribes, and bow down to Middle-earth and the Great Desert, as long as the Middle Earth and the Great Desert did not give substantial support to the Xi people, the Khitans could compete with the Xi people. ”
"The Khitan was in Liaodong, and in the face of a powerful threat from Middle-earth, they had to form an alliance with Goguryeo and the Yan Dynasty to join forces to fight. The Khitan wanted to weaken the threat of Middle-earth to themselves, Goguryeo wanted to realize the dream of being the hegemon of the Far East, and the Jin Yan wanted to migrate to the northeast with better living conditions, so the three parties had common interests. The three parties joined hands to form an alliance and constantly intruded on Middle-earth Liaodong, advancing step by step. As for the Turks, in the face of this situation in the Far East, of course, they were happy to see it, so they contained the Xi people, coerced the Xi people to stand by, and allowed the Donghu alliance of Khitan, Goguryeo, and Jin to invade Middle-earth. Unable to bear it any longer, Middle-earth launched an eastward crusade, inflicting heavy losses on Goguryeo and stern warnings to the Khitan and the Yan. ”
"In this situation, of course, the Xi people must seize the golden opportunity to implement the breakthrough development plan, although the people of China do not support it, do not want to see the chaos in the northeast, and put pressure on the defense of the northeast Xinjiang, but the Turks support, the Turks are willing to take advantage of the chaos in the northeast on a small scale, to coerce the middle earth to make a compromise, and then make profits from it."
"In mid-August, King Xi Ahui was leading his army across Songshan and fighting fiercely with the Khitans on the front line of the Tosu Chenshui." Li Fengyun raised his hand and pointed at Songshan on the map, then moved his finger up and stopped at Luoma City, an important town in the upper reaches of the water of Tosuchen, "According to the latest information I have received, about six days ago, Ah Huizheng gathered all his main forces to launch an attack on Luoma City. The Khitans had suffered heavy losses in Goguryeo and were no longer able to give it strong support, and when the Middle-earth expeditionary army gathered in Liaodong and could attack its flanks at any time, it must have feared that it would fall into the predicament of being attacked by the enemy on its belly and back, so it certainly did not dare to fight with the Xi people, and the best way to deal with it was to delay until the heavy snow came. As soon as the snow fell, the possibility of the expeditionary army of Liaodong in Middle-earth going north to attack the Khitan was very small, and the attack of the Xi people would also be difficult to continue because of bad weather, so the Khitans took the initiative, and they could attack and retreat and defend, but they fell into a passive situation, but the Xi people, in a dilemma. After a long time, there was a shortage of food and grass, the soldiers were tired, and the weather became worse and worse, so finally they had to evacuate. ”
"So my judgment on the situation of the water war in Tosuchen is that in order to preserve their strength, the Khitan people are very likely to take the initiative to evacuate and give up Luoma City, and will not compete with the Xi people for the gains and losses of one city and one place, and take the initiative to withdraw to the east bank of the Tosuchen water, lure the enemy deep, and create better conditions for launching a counteroffensive in the later stage."
"Of course, even if my judgment is wrong, now that the Xi and Khitan people are still fighting fiercely in Luoma City, the situation is also in my favor." Li Fengyun's finger quickly moved from Luoma City on the map to Songshan, "Luoma City is more than four hundred miles away from Songshan, and more than five hundred miles away from the ghost side, and we ......" Li Fengyun's finger put on the map where the Moon Spring in the flat pine forest is located, "We are only two hundred miles away from the ghost side." This is where our advantage lies, if we can give full play to this advantage, we can not only quickly occupy Anzhou, but also block the main force of Xi Wang Ah Hui Zheng and his five armies outside Anzhou, and form a front and rear attack with the Khitans who followed and killed him, forcing Xi Wang Ah Hui to fall into the predicament of being attacked on his back. ”
Speaking of this, Li Fengyun stopped, looked at the generals in the tent who were listening attentively, and smiled slightly, "The wish is good, as for whether it can be realized, it depends on whether we can surprise the enemy and attack the enemy unprepared." ”
