After the banquet, Huangfu Song led everyone to the back hall to discuss the military. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Ziyuan, now that Changshe City is besieged by hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Moth thieves from Bocai, what can you do to break the enemy?" Huangfu Song was born in a family of generals, and he likes to go straight to the topic when he speaks. He transferred Wu Yi from Dongjun to Changshe, not because of the thousands of county soldiers under his command, but because of the tricks and tricks in Wu Yi's mind.

Wu Yi recalled the camp of the Bocai Army that he had watched before entering the city, and instead of answering in a hurry, he asked Huangfu Song: "When I first came to Changshe, I didn't know much about the battle situation of Changshe, so I wonder if the general could inform the enemy of the situation first?" ”

"But Ben will be in a hurry. Well, since a few months ago, the general went to Yingchuan, and happened to meet Bocai leading a hundred thousand yellow turban moth thieves to besiege Changshe, Ben will have a big battle with it outside the city, although he killed thousands on the spot, but in the end it was difficult to defeat the number of thieves, and was forced to retreat to Changshe City and with the help of the city wall to barely block the thief Bocai's troops. Now there are about 120,000 thieves outside the city, but there are also many old, weak, women and children among these thieves, and the real young and strong should only be 50,000 or 60,000. There were only more than 20,000 counterinsurgency troops brought from Guanzhong in the city, and although there were heavy casualties, the morale was still good. ”

There were more than 30,000 soldiers when Huangfu Song set out from Chenliu before, but now there are only more than 20,000 people left, and these casualties of about 30% are already considered to be painful for an army. Thinking of this, Wu Yi can also understand why when the name Bocai is mentioned, Huangfu Song will look resentful.

Bo Xi, the county commander of Changshe on the side, added next: "Because I was reminded by Yingchuan Chen Jun earlier, the counties of Yuzhou have already taken some precautions a year ago, and in addition to the more than 20,000 soldiers of General Huangfu, there are still more than 2,000 county soldiers and more than 4,000 private soldiers and domestic slaves of various wealthy families in the city. ”

In recent years, there have been frequent disasters in Yuzhou, and last year there was a major drought that has not been seen in decades. Therefore, although the officials of various counties and counties in Yuzhou received Chen Yu's warning early, Bocai still easily pulled up a Yellow Turban Army of tens of thousands in the territory of Yuzhou. However, because of the advance preparations, Bo Cai still encountered a lot of resistance when attacking the city of Yuzhou, so when Huangfu Song's counterinsurgency army arrived in Yingchuan, the losses of other states and counties in Yuzhou were not too great.

Wu Yi rubbed his chin and asked tentatively, "I wonder if your lords have launched a surprise attack on the Bocai Department outside the city before today?" ”

Huangfu Song couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "Ziyuan has been less enemies several times, and he has relied on surprise attacks to break the Yellow Turban Thief Army. It's just that the thief will be very well guarded, and take advantage of his absolute numerical superiority to arrange tens of thousands of horses to watch every move of our army day and night. Whenever there was the slightest movement of our army, we immediately beat the drum to warn the yellow turban moth thieves in the camp.

Ben tried several surprise attacks, but each time he was spotted ahead of time, and finally turned into a scuffle. Although our army had to outperform the enemy every time it was captured, Bocai sent a detachment of troops to the surrounding areas to plunder the people, and every day there were new sources of troops. Comparatively speaking, Changshe County just experienced a drought last year, and many people moved away to other places to make a living, and all the men and women in the city were combined, and the number of people was not as large as the Bocai Department outside the city. ”

Huangfu Song is better at fighting a decisive battle on the battlefield with dignified and upright soldiers, and let him take more than 30,000 county soldiers who have been absent from the battle array for a long time to fight against the Yellow Turban Army of the Hundreds of Thousands of Wave Cai Division, which is inevitably difficult for some strongmen. Under the desperate thinking, it is not a good way to imitate Wu Yi's tactics and use the method of surprise attack to deal with the Yellow Turban Army. It's a pity that after Bo Cai learned the news of the fiasco of Bian Xi and Yu Poison, he specially guarded against the surprise attack tactics that the official army might implement. Therefore, Huangfu Song faced the Bocai who had been prepared for a long time, and it was inevitable that the soldiers would be defeated.

"General Huangfu, before entering the city, observed that most of the enemy's camps relied on grass and set up camps. Water and fire are the most ruthless of all things in this world, if we first attack their positions with fire and then carry out a surprise attack, it will not be difficult for the thief army to break it. "Wu Yi, as a traverser, naturally knows that in the battle of Changshe in history, it was Huangfu Song's fire attack on Bocai's Yucao company camp that won the battle. Since Bocai is still camping with grass at the moment, why don't you take advantage of the situation and send him another barbecue 'feast'?

"Fire attack? Oh, Ben Jiangguang remembered that Ziyuan likes to use surprise attacks to break the enemy, but he forgot that you always use fire attacks before each surprise attack! The army of hundreds of thousands of thieves of Bocai is a grass company, and if it is attacked by fire, it will definitely cause heavy losses! Huangfu Song remembered Wu Yi's previous achievements, and readily agreed to Wu Yi's fire attack method.

Over there, Bo Xi, the county magistrate of Changshe County, was not as optimistic as Huangfu Song: "Although the camp of the Bocai thief army is indeed a grass company battalion, General Huangfu should not forget that Bocai has specially arranged a team of men and horses to keep an eye on Changshe City at all times. As long as we leave the city, we will inevitably be exposed by them, and even if we set a fire at that time, after all, there are more than 100,000 soldiers in the Bocai Division, and even if the fire attack launched in a hurry can burn thousands of people, it will be difficult for Bocai to hurt his vitality. After a melee between Bocai and our army, we will inevitably take precautions against fire attacks, and then what methods will we use to break the enemy? ”

Bo Xi's question is also a question for Cheng Yu. Wu Yi joined the army to serve the country at a young age, and even broke tens of thousands of yellow turban thieves in Yanzhou with few victories several times in a row. However, when Wu Yi came to the Yuzhou Governor's Office to confront the hundreds of thousands of troops of Shang Bocai, Cheng Yu did not agree that Wu Yi's little trick worked under Bocai's defense. Moreover, the success or failure of the Battle of Changshe involves the safety of Yingchuan County and even the entire Yuzhou, if Wu Yi's plan is not perfect, even if the county commander Bo Xi does not raise objections, he will stand up and question Wu Yi's plan.

Wu Yi was not annoyed by the county commander Bo Xi's questioning, but when Huangfu Song set his eyes on him, Wu Yi still got up and explained his plan: "The number of Yellow Turban troops in the Bocai Department is tens of thousands, and it is naturally difficult for our army to hastily light up sporadic fires. But if the fire can be helped by heaven, it can't be stopped by just manpower,"

Bo Xi asked reluctantly: "I don't know what Wu Duwei means when he says Tianshi?" ”

Wu Yi glanced at the fat-headed and big-eared Changshe County Order: "The sages said that if the way of the battle formation can be helped by the time, place, and people, it will be victorious." With the help of the previous natural disasters, Bocai gathered more than 100,000 victims for his use, which can be said to be humane. Bocai formed a grass camp, although the grass and trees can make fire, after all, it is only a good ear. But if Heaven can give the wind to blow to the fire, it can be said to be heavenly. If our army can obtain the favorable land and time, it will win the victory of Bocai and one person. ”

Cheng Yu saw Wu Yi's words, and couldn't help but get up to help his boss: "Although the wind can help the fire, Ziyuan also said that this is the time of day." But manpower is limited, how can we dare to say that the time will help? If you don't help when you go into battle, I don't know what Ziyuan can do to break the enemy? ”

Wu Yi remembered that his master Chen Yu had taught him, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart: "As a general, he doesn't know astronomy, doesn't know geography, doesn't look at the formation map, doesn't know the strength of the army, and is mediocre!" I have seen the sky last night, and three days later, there will be a strong wind from the sky!! ”

"Ziyuan can be sure?" Huangfu Song stood up from the desk violently, his sharp eyes staring at Wu Yi's face.

"If the wind doesn't come after three days, Ziyuan is willing to let the general punish him!"
