Chapter Seventy-One: Strategizing

Seeing Wen Ba like this, Tian Feng then gave Wen Ba another advice: "Now our soldiers have not yet left the county, and Dong soldiers are coming. If it is for me to try my hypocrisy, then its army must be cautious, the Dong army is strong, and now all the people are cavalry, if you are cautious, it is not easy to take it. In my opinion, the king moves forward, sees the enemy's rear, does not have to immediately lead the troops to advance, and fight hard with it, you may wish to show weakness to the enemy first, then the enemy will be arrogant, after its arrogance, you can lure it into an ambush, and then hit it with a fine pawn, it is not difficult to win. ”

Hundreds of thousands of Kwantung coalition troops, no one dared to enter the army for months, Dong Zhuo's soldiers were more than 100 soldiers, looking at this situation, they would have despised the coalition army as soon as possible, if Wen Ba showed weakness after receiving the enemy, and he brought only 2,000 soldiers, then Dong Jun, who was a cavalryman, would definitely think that Wen Ba could be bullied, and in order to win military merits, eight times out of ten would be as Tian Feng said, "must be arrogant", and the arrogant soldiers would be defeated.

Wenba thought so, and read the head and said yes.

Tian Feng said to Wen Ba again: "Jun, please come here, I have a plan to ambush and lure the enemy, and I can tell you." ”

Wenba listened to Tian Feng's plan, rejoiced, and said: "Mr. De's clever plan, it is easy to win!" ”

Farewell to Tian Feng, Wen Ba ordered all his troops and horses, and then led his troops out first, broke away from the main force on the march, and went forward to meet the enemy.

In this first battle, Wen Chou was determined to annihilate the enemy and win beautifully, so in addition to Wenba's two thousand people to take the lead, after Wenba left, he ordered Zhou Lu and ordered him to take the four thousand soldiers of the headquarters who were familiar with the terrain to set off immediately, for Wenba's backup, and summoned the military Sima Liu Qing of the Chinese army, so that the unified thousand elite cavalry also set off immediately, and ordered him to rush around the rear of the enemy in front of Wenba to ambush in order to block the retreat of the thousand Dong cavalry. β€”β€”This thousand elite horsemen were Wen Chou's support from Yingchuan scholars and officials after coming to Yingchuan. An elite pawn that has just been formed! For the sake of expanding the prestige of the Chinese army, these cavalry were not included in the cavalry led by Wen Ba.

The arrangements were in place, and the various roads broke away from the main force one after another and set off to meet the enemy.

Wen Chou brought his own main force, and slowly followed.

At this time, some scholars on the left and right praised at this time: "No wonder the general only sent 2,000 soldiers of Wenba to go first, but it turned out that he left Captain Zhou and Liu Sima here." ”

Wen Chou smiled, and did not explain that Zhou Lu and Liu Qing were just to annihilate the enemy. The killer weapon to defeat the enemy is actually Tian Feng's strategy to lure the enemy and ambush the soldiers. - Tian Feng's plan was planned before Wen Chou summoned the generals and discussed it with Wen Chou.

After traveling more than ten miles, I heard a report from the front that the Ministry of Literature had come into contact with the enemy.

Dong Zhuo is a good soldier, and he is a knight, he is really a strong enemy, although there is an ambush plan, Wen Chou does not know what Wen Ba's victory will be, and he is worried. On the surface, he was calm and calm, and said with a smile to the left and right: "In the past, Ziyong followed the contemptible people through a hundred battles, destroyed thieves and drove out criminals, and made outstanding achievements. ”

After two or three miles, he had to report to the front army, although Liu Qing's elite cavalry came out of the camp later than Wenba. However, the speed of the march is fast, after all, all cavalry. One still has half of the foot soldiers, and there are locals as the lead, and they have already bypassed behind the incoming enemy and blocked Dong Zhuobing's back road.

After getting this military report, Wen Chou's heart was settled.

Even if Wenba loses, there is Liu Qing in the back to intercept. This Dong soldier is also difficult to fly, and when Zhou Lubu or his main force arrives, it is enough to wipe them out, at most it is not as good-looking as Wenba won in the first battle.

Not far ahead, there was another military report in front of me: "The Wenba Department has lost and the army has been defeated." ”

Many people were shocked when they heard this.

A Yingchuan scholar who threw himself into Wen Chou's tent some time ago lost color and said: "The courage of Wen Ba is the crown in the army. The real general's account is also full of fan, and now the enemy has been defeated in less than two quarters of an hour? Dong Zhuo's soldiers, so strong? Wenba is defeated, and Captain Zhou and Liu Sima are also difficult to win, so please send troops to rescue the general! ”

Wen Chou turned to Tian Feng and laughed.

However, it was Wen Baguo who used Tian Feng's strategy to show weakness to the enemy first and lure the enemy to attack.

It's just that I don't know if this plan can be successful?

Because, the most important part of this plan is the second half, which is the place of this ambush, I wonder if Dong Qi will be fooled? Will it be lured in?

After a few more miles, there was a military report from the front: "The enemy advanced lightly, and was lured to the river by Wenba, who first set up an ambush by the river, and when he saw the enemy riding on, he made a noise, and the riverside was muddy, and the enemy rode hard, and was surrounded by my ambush soldiers." We are fighting by the river. ”

Wen Chou and Tian Feng looked at each other and smiled.

Tian Chou clapped his hands and applauded, and said, "Mr. Yuan Hao's wisdom has been successful!" Dong Qi will be defeated. ”

Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others also looked happy.

It was only at this time that the remaining soldiers learned of Tian Feng's ambush plan.

Soldiers talk about war, and the first thing to talk about is the time, place, and people. Now it is still in Yingchuan County, the ugly people are familiar with the place, occupy the geographical advantage, and there are many soldiers and horses, but they are outnumbered by the crowd, and the people are united, and then occupy the people, the two benefits are in hand, plus there are strategists such as Tian Feng, there are fierce generals such as Liu Qing and Wenba, as long as the strategy can be implemented smoothly, the victory is also very fast and easy.

Wenba was a soldier who came out around noon, and it was already twilight.

After Wen Chou got this report, he looked at the sky, and immediately ordered the military horses to stop, sent the cavalry to inform Sun Jian and other troops in the back that they would be stationed here tonight, and ordered all the departments to start camping and prepare dinner.

Seeing that Wen Chou had attached great importance to the enemy before, he had the intention of personally going into battle to fight with him, but now he heard that the battle was raging in front of him, but he asked all the departments to build camps and settle down the village, and they no longer paid attention to the posture that Wen Ba was still engaged in the battle in front of him.

Wen Chou replied: "The enemy has been surrounded by Ziyong, trapped in the mud by the river, with the courage of Ziyong, even if he is not victorious, he is not defeated, and the four thousand Yingchuan soldiers of the Qian Department followed closely behind the Ministry of Ziyong, and now it should have arrived, the enemy is trapped in the mud, and is surrounded by Ziyong, it is already chaotic, seeing the Zhou Lieutenant soldiers, the banner is like a forest, and the soldiers are all over the field, they are bound to be frightened, and they will definitely have no intention of fighting again, and flee by taking the road, and Liu Sima led a thousand cavalry to accumulate behind him, and he scattered with my escape, and this battle has been won. ”

Someone put forward a different opinion and said: "There are only 2,000 soldiers in the Wen School Captain's Department, and the enemy has a thousand horsemen, so the Wen School Captain will not be surrounded by all the enemy cavalry, although the Zhou School Captain is numerous, most of them are new soldiers, and the combat power is not strong, and it is a speed of one or two miles, even if it can arrive in time, it will not necessarily be the opponent of the peripheral enemy cavalry, if it is defeated, then the Wen School Captain Department will inevitably be affected by it, and I am afraid that there will be the possibility of turning victory into defeat." ”

Wen Chou smiled: "It's okay." Our army is behind, and now it is only more than ten miles away from the enemy's cavalry, how can the enemy not know? If they can win a big victory in the first battle with Wenba, then their courage may still be readable, but now that they are in an unfavorable battle, they are in an ambush, and they know that our army is behind, where will they have the courage to counterattack Captain Zhou's army again? I expected that as soon as they saw Captain Zhou's army arriving, they would flee. (To be continued......)
