Chapter 1200: The Two Heavens of Ice and Fire (for soviet2003 Childe's Addition)
The general was stunned, "What does the general mean that the Wei army may raid Tony City?" How is this possible? Our Khorezm fortress defense line has cut off all passages, how can the Wei army bypass us and attack Tony City directly? ā
Huang Xuan debuted: "It's impossible according to common sense! But will the Wei army act according to common sense? Even if it's just a possibility, we can't take it lightly! Immediately send an order to the defenders of Tony City! ā
"Yes!" The general said yes and left. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, looking a little tired. Just then, a herald rushed in. "General!" The herald saluted.
Huang opened his eyes, and subconsciously had a very bad premonition.
"What's the matter?" Huang asked.
The herald presented a herald that reported: "Tony City's Pigeon Biography!" ā
Huang made a heartbeat, snatched the handbook, opened it, and read it quickly, his face changed suddenly.
He slammed the book into a ball and slammed it on the table in front of him with a loud bang.
The herald standing in front of him was startled and did not dare to raise his head.
Huang said in a deep voice: "Gather all the generals immediately!" ā
"Yes!" The herald answered and exited the lobby.
Around the same time, Hu Zhao also received a flying pigeon letter.
"Great! General Zixiao really lived up to his trust! Hu Zhao said happily and handed the book in his hand to Xiahou Yuan on the side.
After Xiahou Yuan read the handbook, he laughed, "Okay! How long can it be supported? ā
Hu Zhao analyzed: "The grain and grass in Tony City were destroyed, and the reserves in the Khorezm fortress could only support it for ten days!" When the time comes, they won't be able to withdraw until they leave! ā
Almost a day ago, Cao Ren led more than 5,000 elites of the First Army to finally walk out of the mountains, and the 6,000 elites at the time of departure were only more than 5,100 people left, and nearly 1,000 died in the mountains.
The elite of the 5,000 First Legion immediately launched a surprise attack on Tony City, and Tony City was defenseless at this time.
Five thousand elites rushed into the city in one go, and the elite of the wolf-like First Legion easily crushed the counterattack of nearly 20,000 defenders, and then set fire in the city, and an hour later, the entire city of Tony, including several huge warehouses, was plunged into a boundless sea of fire.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Ren led the soldiers who had successfully attacked to withdraw from Tony City and enter the nearby mountains.
However, at the same time, the Wei army Beigu City was also suddenly attacked by the 20,000 Jin State Goshawk Legion Iron Cavalry led by Ye Suga, after a big battle, although the defenders of Beigu City desperately drove out the Jin State Iron Cavalry that rushed into the city, but the entire Beigu City fell into flames. When the Wei army finally extinguished the fire, less than one-fifth of the more than two million stone grain and grass hoarded in Beigucheng remained!
The two pieces of information were sent to Cao Cao almost simultaneously.
Cao Cao looked at the two pieces of information in his hand and smiled bitterly: "It's really two heavens of ice and fire!" ā
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Cao Hong couldn't help asking.
Cao Cao raised his head, glanced at the generals under his account, and said, "The two pieces of information I just received, one is good news, and the other is bad news!" Yesterday, General Zixiao led 6,000 elites to raid Tony City, a major land for the enemy's grain hoarding, and successfully burned all the grain and grass in Tony City! Khorezm's defense line is crumbling! However, the following information said that our army's Beigu City was raided by the enemy's blue wolf iron cavalry, most of the grain and grass were destroyed, and the 50,000 defenders were killed and wounded more than 30,000! ā
As soon as he heard this, the generals were shocked, and Cao Hong hurriedly said: "In this way, our army's grain and grass can only last for twenty days at most!" ā
Cao Cao nodded and asked, "Raise food from the entire Western Regions!" What do you think? ā
Cao Hong frowned and shook his head, "I'm afraid it's difficult!" Our army has already raised all the grain and grass that can be raised before the war! It is no longer possible to collect grain from the people! ā
Cao Cao frowned, "In this way, we can only transfer grain from the Central Plains!" But the grain from the Central Plains will take at least a month to arrive! ā
"Your Majesty!" Cao Hong looked like he wanted to say something.
Cao Cao looked at Cao Hong, "I have something to say!" ā
"Your Majesty, with the current situation of our army, our army must retreat!" Cao Hong suggested.
As soon as Ma Chao heard this, he jumped up. "How can this work?!"
Cao Cao frowned and said, "If you retreat, then the enemy army will be able to draw out a part of its forces to rush to the Khorezm fortress with grain and grass!" It is very likely that our army's previous efforts will be wasted! ā
"But Your Majesty, if we don't retreat, our army will be in a dangerous situation! The most worrying thing is the Kangju Army and the Western Regions Army, they are different from our Great Wei Army, and it is very likely that something will happen because of this! Cao Hong said.
Cao Cao thought for a moment and said resolutely: "No! The army continues to be nailed here! However, it can be flexible, only the second, fourth and sixth legions are left here, and the rest of the army has all withdrawn to the Luojia Mountain defense line! In this way, it can not only prevent accidents between the Kangju army and the Western Regions army, but also alleviate the food problem to a considerable extent, and it can also drag the Jin army so that they cannot rescue the direction of Khorezm! ā
Cao Cao's analysis is reasonable, if Tokhtar Buhua wants to support grain and grass in the direction of Khorezm, then there are only two ways, one is to escort a large number of grain and grass to Khorezm Fortress with a small number of troops, if this is done, it is easy for the Wei army to destroy this grain and grass with iron horses, and the other is to escort grain and grass with a large number of troops to prevent the Wei army from raiding, but how many people are appropriate, 100,000? Two hundred thousand? If it is a tribal servant army or a local garrison army that takes up this task, I am afraid that no amount of troops can prevent the raid of the Wei army's iron cavalry, and if it is a regular army, the frontal strength of the Jin **** will be greatly weakened, and there is still a risk that if the Wei army concentrates all the 100,000 cavalry under the jurisdiction of the four main army corps, this can still pose a huge threat to the marching Jin ****, and if it is captured by the Wei army, the entire front of the Jin people will be in collapse.
When Cao Hong heard Cao Cao's decision, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and objected: "How can this be done?" In this way, will the enemy army desperately besiege Your Majesty! It's too dangerous! ā
The generals also expressed their opposition.
Cao Cao said indifferently: "It is not difficult to withstand the enemy's offensive with the combat strength of our army!" And it is also a simple matter to get out of the encirclement of the enemy army! You don't have to worry about it! I'm just looking dangerous here! ā
"Your Majesty!" Cao Hong still wants to persuade again.
Cao Cao waved his hand, "Okay! I've decided! ā
Cao Hong was helpless, thinking of Hu Zhao, he had an idea in his heart.
That night, the scouts came to report that the Jin army was actively preparing for war.
However, the next day, Jin **** did not attack, Cao Cao ordered the army to act according to the established plan, and nearly 200,000 troops left the camp and headed towards the Luojia Mountain defense line.
"Your Excellency General, since our army has succeeded in raiding Beigu City, why don't you take the opportunity to launch a counterattack against the Wei army?" General Kasro asked, puzzled.
Totobuhua shook his head, "It's not time yet!" ā
"But if we don't repel the Wei army in front of us as soon as possible, this Khorezm fortress will be in danger! I can't imagine that the Wei people will be able to raid Tony City! I wonder how they did it? Kasro sighed.
Totobuhua shook his head, his heart was very complicated. At this moment, a scout officer hurried into the lobby of the office.
"Your Excellency General, a Wei army is returning to Luojia Mountain!" Scout reports.
Totobuhua frowned and asked, "How many are there?" ā
"About more than 200,000! Look at the flags and costumes, they are mainly the Kangju Army and the Western Regions Legion! ā
Kasro said excitedly: "In this way, the Wei army in front of us will only have about 300,000 people!" We have more than twice as many troops here! General, we can fight back! ā
Totobuhua frowned and muttered, "Why did the Wei army transfer more than 200,000 troops at this juncture? Is it just because people consume more food?! ā
Tokhtabuhua couldn't help but be amused by his own inference, frowned again, and thought about it.
Tokhoff Buhua returned to the top and sat down, and said, "Don't rush to attack for the time being!" Let's take a look at the situation first! ā
At that moment, a herald ran into the hall.
"Your Excellency General, the Empress has arrived!" The herald reported.
Detachment didn't take a look at it, and said with some astonishment: "The queen set off four days ago, and she arrived today?" ā
"Your Excellency General, the queen's car has entered the city!" Herald said.
Tokhtar didn't have time to think about it, and ordered to the subordinate general Kasro on the side: "Come with me immediately!" ā
"Yes!"
Tokhoff Buhua led several generals and more than 100 personal soldiers to leave the administrative center in a hurry.
As soon as he went out, he saw a heroic female knight approaching under the escort of thousands of iron horsemen.
This female knight in armor is the ruler of the Jin Empire, Queen Silan, and the Queen of Silan in military uniform has a unique charm.
Tuo Buhua immediately greeted him, and made a big salute in front of Queen Silan's war horse, "General Zhengnan Tuo Buhua meets the queen's mother!" ā
The generals and soldiers behind him also made a big salute.
Queen Silan nodded and smiled: "The general doesn't have to be polite!" This is the front line, and you don't have to stick to the etiquette of the court! ā
"Yes!" Take off without a promise.
Said respectfully: "Please come to the ruling house to rest!" ā
"Hmm!" Queen Slan nodded.
Tokh Buhua led Queen Silan and her party to the hall of the governance office, and each sat down, and Queen Silan asked, "General, how is the current situation?" ā
Tokhtabu took a brief account of the current situation and his own analysis.
Empress Silan frowned and said, "What is the general worried about?" ā
"Wei Chen has dealt with Emperor Wei and the army under his command more than once!" Cao Cao is treacherous and abnormal, and there are many resourceful people under his command, and Weichen is worried that Cao Cao will give us a trap! (To be continued.) )
