Chapter 556 Yanzhou Raiders
Of course, Wang Yu didn't really just look at the excitement, in fact, he had already discussed the next strategy with Jia Xu.
The seemingly complicated situation can actually be considered simply, these large-scale military discussions are mainly to test the success of a group of young heroes through military discussions.
Through a series of military discussions, the strength of the heroes under the account in military strategy has been more comprehensively judged.
Wei Yan advocated launching a quick attack and destroying Lü Bu without waiting for the surrounding princes to react. In this way, the interference of other princes can be avoided.
Zhuge Liang believed that steady and steady fighting was the king, and used overwhelming power to make Lu Bu recognize the reality and bow to Wang Yu.
One of the two attaches more importance to the front, and the sword goes sideways; One is more focused on the trend, step by step. It's hard to say which is better or worse, anyway, it is quite distinctive and has a distinct personality.
Lu Su is also a Chinese person, his thinking is similar to Zhuge Liang, which coincides; Pan Zhang, who supported Wei Yan, had no idea of his own and was purely foolish; Zhao Yun and Ma Zhong occasionally interjected, but they all got to the point, but they didn't have an overall idea; Xu Shu seemed to have some ideas, but as soon as the meeting started, he was busy persuading, and he didn't have time to express his opinions.
As for Pang Tong, although the character of this honest boy has been improving, it is not a day's cold to freeze three feet, it seems that it will take some time for this young phoenix to turn into a kun and go straight to the sky.
What everyone said made sense, but there was a gap between what Wang Yu thought.
The first is Zhuge Liang's proposition. Zhuge Liang has a clear mind and is comprehensive in all aspects, there are almost no flaws in his plan, all links are interlocking, as long as there are no problems in all links, you can reap the final victory.
That's why Wang Yu used the central computer to compare him. If you only talk about the thoroughness of thinking, let alone Wei Yan, even Jia Xu and Tian Feng are slightly inferior to him.
This is also where his problem comes from: the tighter his plan, the lower the margin for error. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, not to mention the enemy, even if it is your own people, it is possible to cause some unplanned problems. And in Zhuge Liang's planning, there are no such accidents.
In fact, this problem is not only in the young Zhuge Liang. The same exists in history. Take the most famous battle of the street pavilion as an example, Zhuge Liang did not prepare a backup plan.
He divided his troops into four parts, using Ma Tan to contain the main force of the Wei army, and the rest of the troops attacked in four directions, wanting to complete the overall goal. Each team must be able to achieve the goal, as long as one link fails, it will be all lost.
According to Wang Yu's deduction, not to mention that Ma Tan is destined to not be able to defend the street pavilion, even if he can withstand it, Zhuge Liang's plan will be difficult to succeed. Attacking the strong with the weak, and still putting up a dignified formation? This is not possible unless there is a collective outbreak of the whole army.
What's more, the current Zhuge Liang is too young. The mind is strong enough, but the attainments in the sophistication of the human heart are still a little short. For the time being, at most, he can only be used as a staff officer.
Speaking of Wei Yan, his strategy is not unreasonable and possible. But the risk is indeed too great, and if there is a slight disharmony, it may become the fuse of the Central Plains War and involve Qingzhou in a full-scale war.
According to Wang Yu's assessment. Although Lu Bu was calculated by Cao Cao, he lost a certain amount of strength. However, his combat effectiveness should not have suffered much damage, as his two most important main forces did not suffer much damage.
The main force that Lu Bu relied on was actually two battalions of soldiers and horses - the main cavalry unit led by himself and the infantry unit led by Gao Shun as the main force.
In the Ding Yuan era, the cavalry of Bingzhou once reached 5,000 people. Later, Lu Bu almost completely took over Ding Yuan's strength, and after defecting to the Xiliang army, he was repeatedly suppressed, and the size of the cavalry force began to shrink.
After the turmoil in Luoyang and two years of fierce battles with the Xiliang army, the number of this cavalry had dropped to less than 4,000. However, if anyone underestimates the combat power of this army because of this, it is a big mistake.
In many battles in Hedong, the generals of Xiliang fought against Lu Bu with superior forces, but as long as this main cavalry appeared, no matter who led the troops, how many soldiers they brought, and what kind of troops they bringed, they could only avoid their edge.
At the beginning, Zhang Ji did not believe in evil, and went north from Luyang, trying to attack Luoyang with the main force of Xiliang, and as a result, all 5,000 elites were wiped out under the iron hooves of the wolf riders in Bingzhou. If it weren't for this, Cao Cao's attack on Nanyang would not have been so smooth.
It was precisely because of the victories of the wolf cavalry that Wang Yu coveted this cavalry, and he wanted to take over Lu Bu's strength in full.
In Jia Xu's words, on the issue of Lu Bu, Wang Yu behaved very irrationally, and he was already a little crazy.
Gao Shun's trapped camp is also a force to be reckoned with. In several tough battles fought by the state army, this unit was active.
or pin down the enemy's main forces and create fighters for cavalry units; Or take advantage of the enemy's attention to the main cavalry and surprise the attack; There are also many opportunities to be independent, and the performance is equally wonderful.
Take Lu Bu's attack on Dongjun as an example.
Cao Cao's intention was to abandon Dongjun, but in order to attract Lü Bu's attention, he gave the order to Xiahoudun and Cheng Yu, who were left behind, to retreat in front of the enemy. That is, after Lu Bu went deep into Dongjun and was far enough away from Luoyang, he could not start a retreat operation, and before that, Lu Bu could not be allowed to see his intentions.
Of course, this is not easy, for this reason, Cao Cao found a reason to transfer Xun Yu to Puyang in advance, just to ensure maximum safety.
Everything went smoothly at first, and Xiahoudun began to withdraw his troops when Lü Bu's main force arrived in Yan County and was still a day's journey from Puyang, making a gesture of abandoning Puyang and retreating to Juancheng, attracting Lü Bu to march quickly, losing contact with Luoyang, and winning fighters for Nanyang's surprise attack troops.
His goal was achieved, but the result was not as expected, because Gao Shun's trapping camp appeared.
Gao Shun's trapping camp was acting together with Lu Bu's main cavalry force, and after knowing Lu Bu's deployment, everyone, including Wang Yu, thought that Lu Bu might be trying to fight steadily while maintaining the guard against Nanyang Cao's army. No one expected that it was not the cavalry that really attacked, but the infantry!
Just as Xiahoudun was about a day's journey away from Puyang, he was planning to retreat to Juancheng according to the plan, under the banner of suspicion, to continue to attract Lu Bu's attention. When he led the main force of Dongjun to retreat to Dingtao, Gao Shun appeared.
After soaring hundreds of miles in a day and night, at the moment when Xiahoudun was the most relaxed, he appeared in front of the latter!
Raid Battle! Xiahoudun was almost wiped out.
That is, Cheng Yu, who stayed in Juancheng, saw the opportunity quickly and rushed to the battlefield with suspicious soldiers under the banner of the Qingzhou Army, which made Gao Shun suspicious and did not dare to let go of the pursuit, otherwise the Cao army would lose a general and an important strategist.
This is the only bright spot of Lu Bu's army in this war. But it is this bright spot that makes no one in the world dare to despise Lu Bu and regard him as nothing. Even if there is courage and no strategy, as long as the courage is strong enough to a certain extent, it is enough to overshadow the resourcefulness.
Experienced this battle. The details of the trapped camp finally couldn't be kept secret, and Wang Yu also got to see the true face of this legendary army.
According to the regular establishment of the Han Dynasty, a battalion of troops was 2,000 people, and by the end of the Han Dynasty, all kinds of systems had been corrupted, and the military system could not stand alone. The actual strength of the trapped camp. That is, there are more than 1,000 people, and they are replenished as they go, when there are more, there are 1,12, and when there are few, there are only 800.
What surprised Wang Yu the most was the composition of this army. The trapped, famous for later generations, turned out to be a light infantry!
The trapping camp is very strong in combat, and often takes on the task of attacking fortifications, no matter which angle you think about it. It's supposed to be a hoplite.
Take Wang Yu's own troops as an example, the Yulin army is light infantry. Spearmen are the main combat troops, with other arms auxiliary. In the battle of the array, the Yulin Army exerted greater power, but when it came to attacking fortifications, the Taishan Army with hoplites as the main force was stronger.
Trapping the camp subverted this common sense, but thinking about the battle when Gao Shun attacked Xiahoudun, Wang Yu was also relieved.
If it was a hoplite, it would never have been possible to achieve such a marching speed. Xu Huang's combat style is also known as a long drive, but what Xu Huang is good at is not long-distance running, but going straight in the battle formation, fearless, and unstoppable.
Heavy infantry is destined to be impossible to compete with other arms in terms of mobility, unless they discard their armor and go into battle lightly.
But the problem is that the trapped camp not only showed super mobility in the pursuit of Xiahoudun, but also in the previous battles of the Bingzhou army, Gao Shun often led his troops and the main cavalry force to go hand in hand.
Lu Bu's army is like a trident, Lu Bu and Gao Shun are spears, Zhang Liao is a shield, Gao Shun can be parallel with the main cavalry, blocking one side, obviously, combat effectiveness is not the only reason, super mobility is the decisive factor.
The more information he obtained, the more detailed it was, the less Wang Yu wanted to solve the problem of Lu Bujun's army by force.
First, with the strength of Lu Bujun, he may not be able to take the other party in his eagerness, even if he wins, it will be difficult to leave the two main forces with super power, and besides, more importantly, Wang Yu is reluctant.
If nothing else, if you solve Lu Bujun by force, at most you can collect and surrender a Zhang Liao, Gao Shun is a master who would rather die than give in! Lu Bu in the novel is easy to succumb, but the Lu Fengxian that Wang Yu met is a veritable peerless general, so let him bend his knees and surrender? Is it possible?
The book says that Lü Bu pleaded twice in front of Cao Cao to loosen the ropes that bound him, which is evidence of his begging for mercy. But few people have ever thought about why Cao Cao didn't dare to loosen Lu Bu's bonds?
If within five steps, Lu Bu broke out and injured people and fought for his life, who in Cao Ying's camp could stop his edge?
The best result of solving Lu Bu by force is to subdue a Zhang Liao, but according to Wang Yu's assumption, it is possible to take all the orders, and the difference between this entry and exit is not ordinary!
Everyone's theories and schemes have their own characteristics, and they all have eye-catching flashes, and overall, Wang Yu is satisfied. However, Zhuge Liang and Lu Su were too stable, and Wei Yan was too anxious, and they couldn't fit his train of thought, which made him a little disappointed.
However, Zhao Yun and other martial artists will be generals in the future, not handsome talents, and rarely consider the overall situation, which is not surprising.
But it doesn't matter, there's still a lot of time, so you can think about it in the long run.
Thinking like this, Wang Yu cleared his throat and sighed softly: "Have you made enough noise?" ”
It's strange to say, Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan are like rivals in their previous lives, and no matter how Rao is persuasion Xu Shu is, he can't suppress the two. As soon as Wang Yu spoke, he spoke casually and calmed down a group of teenagers.
"A certain Meng Lang, please forgive the lord." Wei Yan and Pan Zhang, who were still dancing their teeth and claws a moment ago, were honest and turned around. Lu Su and the others naturally didn't dare to hold it up, and they all surrendered their hands to the crime of courtesy. Although Zhuge Liang was still a little unhappy, the young man also lowered his head.
The whole world suddenly fell silent, and Xu Shu let out a long breath.
"Chang and Jue are going to fight...... Kong Ming and Zijing want to slow down...... Zilong ...... "Wang Yu didn't mean to scold, but used the most concise language to summarize everyone's controversy, and then he paused, looked at everyone, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you have any other opinions?" ”
Everyone was a little unsure of what he meant, and they looked at each other for a while, only Jia Xu smiled and knew it.
No one answered for a long time, Wang Yu showed a disappointed look in his eyes, sighed and asked again: "Is there really no one?" ”
The teenagers were a little uneasy, and at the same time they were also very puzzled, the lord said this, could it be that there was really something missing?
Seeing that the scene was cold, Xu Shu's lips moved slightly, and he was about to speak, but the wind around him moved slightly, but someone grabbed in front of him.
On the handsome position, Wang Yu's eyes flashed, looking at the shy young man bowing his hand, and said with a little crampedness: "There is a plan, but the time has not yet come, and it will be clear after ten months." ”
"Good!" Jia Xu slapped his thigh and said loudly.
