Chapter 303: The Battle Is Not Scheduled
Zhang Jaw is a famous general with both wisdom and bravery, and Xin Bi is also a celebrity when he joins the army, but there are too few cards in their hands, so they can only be played by Wang Yu between applause.
"Actually, at the beginning of the siege, a certain person had already thought of it. In siege warfare, the defender occupies the geographical advantage, but the attacker occupies the initiative, whether to fight or not, when to start the war, where is the main direction of attack, are all decided by the attacker, and the defender itself is very passive. It's just that Zhang Jaw is different from ordinary martial artists, using soldiers to change skillfully, and being good at using the terrain, this plan may not be able to attract him, so he doesn't use it, but it is just right now. ”
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Tai Shi Ci slapped his face and praised happily: "As long as the jaw was open-minded and did not go out of the city, the lord's strategy would not work, but it was tossed back and forth, breaking his own spirit. But now it's different, he goes out of the city as a moth to fight a fire, and when he doesn't go out of the city, he paints the ground as a prison, and he is trapped in Yancheng, no matter how he chooses, it's wrong. ”
Zhang Jaw defended the city tightly, and Wang Yu refused to attack, Tai Shi Ci was choking enough a while ago, Wang Yu had to send him to attack other cities, so as not to make noise in his ears all day long.
However, it was not much challenging to attack the city with Wang Yu's strategy of drawing salaries from the bottom of the cauldron.
It was not only the people of the three counties who grabbed it, but also the local people of Qinghe and Anping, who also joined in. The crops in the fields are all owned by the rich and powerful, and now some people let them take them for nothing, who will not compete for the first? If you don't fight, you will let outsiders pick up the cheap.
The county soldiers defending the city are also locals, so how can they do it if they go to slaughter their own villagers and neighbors? One by one, they were forced out of the city reluctantly, and when they saw the plan, their morale immediately collapsed, where did the besieging side have to fight hard?
The few fierce battles took place between powerful private soldiers and besiegers. Although the powerful private soldiers were in the center, they were not protected by the city walls. In the face of the troops led by fierce generals like Tai Shici and Guan Zhang, they were also powerless.
Therefore, although Tai Shici went to Liaocheng for a walk, he was still very bored, and the reason for this was that Zhang Jaw, who was stubbornly guarding Yancheng and refused to go out of the city for a decisive battle, was undoubtedly the culprit. Now that he sees his jaw deflated, of course he has to gloat: Guard, guard. You can't keep it this time, haha!
"The lord is a trick because of people, even if he has some ability to change his jaw, where can he make any waves, pitiful. Alas. Xu Huang was much more generous than Tai Shici, not only did he not gloat, but he also had some sympathy for Zhang Jaw.
Xu Huang thinks that Wang Yu's evaluation is very fair, and he is indeed very double-minded.
You must know that it is much more difficult to set up an ambush on the plain boundary than in a region with complex terrain such as Qingzhou and Hedong. But Zhang Jaw did it, and he actually broke up the formation. The troops were ambushed in the green gauze tent near the river bend. After the ambush was killed, he was able to build an encirclement and reorganize the queue at the same time, which is quite remarkable. It's much more clever than simply thinking of deception and ambush.
However, it is such a wise and brave person, but he was tortured by Wang Yu to the point that he couldn't do it, just imagine the appearance of sitting in the city with his open jaw. Xu Huang couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: It's difficult to go against your own father-in-law!
Although the overall situation is still unclear. But Xu Huang dares to say now that this battle is won by his own family.
No matter how good Yuan Shao is at forbearance and the use of conspiracy, he can't hide the eyes of the military advisor and the foresight of the lord; No matter how brave the Yi is, no matter how brave the first soldier is not afraid of death, he can't resist the strong army of Qingzhou under the command of the lord; No matter how agile the open jaw is with soldiers, he can't calculate the lord.
Therefore, although the enemy is powerful, it is only a floating cloud after all, and it seems to be a large piece when it gathers, but as soon as the wind blows, it will disappear.
It's a pity that Zhang Jaw and Lu Yi don't know the current affairs, these two are good generals, if they can abandon the darkness and turn to the light as soon as possible, it will also be a help to the lord, it will be difficult to say after this battle, it's a pity.
"I can't be happy too soon, just like now, I shouldn't be able to open my jaw." Seeing that all the generals felt that the victory was in their hands, Jia Xu hurriedly came forward to pour cold water.
He asked Tai Shici, "Ziyi, if you were open-jawed, what would you do?" ”
"Me?" Tai Shici was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Of course, when the time comes, I will kill the inside and the outside...... Hey? ”
Jia Xu smiled: "You have thought of it yourself, the timing is difficult to grasp." What if you didn't know anything? ”
Tai Shici scratched the back of his head, and then said very simply: "Anyway, I don't know anything, I will die if I wait, I will die if I don't wait, no matter how much he is, just choose a random day and rush out to have a good time." ”
"Fortunately, the open jaw is different from you, otherwise the lord will have a headache." Jia Xu shook his fingers, squinted his eyes and smiled.
"Then look at who we are!" Tai Shi Ci knew that he was not good at strategy, but he also knew that Jia Xu was joking with himself, so he was not annoyed, and took advantage of the situation to put on a triumphant appearance, which caused the generals to laugh for a while.
"What about you?" After the laughter stopped, Jia Xu turned to Xu Huang again.
"The words of so-and-so ......" This question, Xu Huang was thinking about it when Jia Xu asked Tai Shici, and after a little silence, he said in a deep voice: "I should wait and see for a while, and then try it." ”
"How to tempt?" Jia Xu asked.
Xu Huang replied very fluently: "Since it is a small number of light cavalry blocking the road, a large force will be dispatched to eliminate the interference of the rangers, even if it is ambushed by a large group of soldiers and horses, or even the entire army is annihilated, you can judge the enemy's layout accordingly, and then make plans." ”
“
Fire reconnaissance. Hearing this, Wang Yu suddenly nodded.
Insufficient intelligence, obtaining intelligence through combat is also one of the commonly used military means, but the cost is a little higher, but since it is used at a critical moment, it can't take care of so much.
It is not surprising that everyone has immunity to the fresh words that pop up from time to time in Wang Yu's mouth, such as that: the empty siege plan, it is very inexplicable.
Jia Xu paused slightly, and then asked Xu Huang: "Then how should our army respond?" ”
"It's hard to say."
Xu Huang groaned: "The key depends on what Zhang Jaw thinks, how many people are sent, if there are many people, then there is no need to think too much, mobilize a large army to kill it, even if he sees through the plan and suffers heavy losses, he has nothing to do." If there are a small number of men and horses, and they can't stop the rangers from intercepting and killing, they can only send a medium-sized force, so it will be difficult for our army to deal with it. ”
"How can it be so difficult to cope?" Tai Shi Ciqi said: "Mobilize troops to encircle and kill, even if Zhang Jaw knows that the main force of our army is not far away." If he is designed to deceive him, will he dare to attack the whole army? Yuan Shao's counterattack is just what you said, and now there is not even a sign, what is the use of opening your jaw to go out of the city? ”
"Ziyi is bad." Jia Xu shook his head and pointed to the trick: "The besieged jaw was originally an accident, Yuan Shao could not have expected it in advance, and now he has contacted the princes of the Central Plains with the intention of counterattacking." It can't be preconceived. Therefore, as long as you contact Yecheng, the army of Zhang Jaw can become a surprise soldier and play an important role. ”
Zhang Jaw's original task was to respond to the dragon to gather the battlefield and attack the plain. It was Zhang Jaw who made his own assertions, and then he was besieged in Yancheng, which was not expected by anyone.
Therefore, in Yuan Shao's counterattack plan, it is a question whether this army was taken into account. The reason why Zhang Jaw is so proactive and tentative is only because he is a famous general, and he will not be satisfied with simply carrying out the orders of the lord. Rather, they will have their own thinking.
If Zhang Jaw desperately sends the information out, then Yuan Shao will know that this army is still there, and he will try to contact Zhang Jaw to form a joint force. This is what Jia Xu is worried about.
"The foot soldiers of our army are the main force, and they have never divided their troops, and if they choose the opposite direction from the main force of our army, the light cavalry will not be able to stop them. The main force will not have time to chase, and they will rush out. ”
If you open your jaw, you can divide a team of hundreds of people into a death squad. As long as the light troops rush forward, as long as they choose the right direction, they do have a high chance of breaking out of the encirclement. Xu Huang's urging battalion is mainly heavy weapons, and the mobility is not a strong point, and the cavalry is scattered again, so it may not have time to encircle.
In the end, Jia Xu concluded: "Therefore, the most afraid is to meet an opponent like Ziyi, just pick a time, pick a random direction and rush out, maybe, you will really rush out." ”
"Haha, it's still the military advisor who knows me." Tai Shi Ci smiled disapprovingly. This is his style, in the face of overly complex situations, he will try to break the tricks, and it is not a big deal to be ridiculed.
"Which direction will that jaw choose?"
Xu Huang pondered, "When he tried before, the north road went the farthest, but he might think that the north road was a flaw deliberately left behind; If the west road is passed, even if it passes, it will be blocked by the troops of Liu Yuanjun and General Tian, but it can also be the opposite; The south road is the most dangerous, but as long as you rush to the river, you have a chance to break through, which ......"
Tai Shici rolled his eyes and teased: "Brother Gongming, it's okay or not, you have said it, you have a quasi-idea." ”
Xu Huang smiled bitterly, he was not a stupid person, and he didn't know much about it, how could he accurately estimate the other party's thoughts?
He turned to Jia Xu and asked questions, but the fat man only shook his head, if he could count his jaw to death like this, then he would not be a man, but a god. Therefore, Jia Xu turned to Wang Yu and asked, "What about the Lord's will?" ”
Wang Yu nodded, mumbled, and then said in a surprising voice: "I think so, you can go with him." ”
"Let him go?" Everyone was taken aback.
"That's right! If you try to guess what he thinks, the initiative is in the hands of Zhang Jaw. As long as he doesn't make a big move, he can do whatever he wants, unless he is ramming into our army's camp, otherwise, he will only use light cavalry to intercept and kill. Even if he dispatches hundreds of people in one go, under the interception and killing of the White Horse Righteous Servant, no more than half of them can escape, so why not do such a battle? ”
Xu Huang hesitated: "However, if he is connected with Yecheng, wouldn't that be ......?"
"Then get in touch, even if you do, at most make an appointment, as the saying goes: the war is not scheduled. It's hard to guess which direction Zhang Jaw chooses to break through, but it's not difficult to guess Yuan Shao's date, so why is it difficult to make his date invalid? ”
casually made up an allusion, Wang Yuhun smiled indifferently: "Besides, if you don't give him some hope, how can he go out of the city and let someone capture him?" ”
Immediately afterwards, Wang Yu added a puzzled order: "Let people send an order back to Qingzhou, and ask Mr. Yuan Hao and Yuezhang to come over to help in the war." ”
Yuan Hao is Tian Feng's character, needless to say, Wang Yu is naturally Cai Yong. The former is familiar with the situation in Jizhou, and it is a bit reliable to help the war, although Cai Yong also has the official position of a lieutenant general, but he fights with the marching army and strategizes these things, so what kind of charter is it to let him help the war?
All the generals were puzzled, only Jia Xu thought thoughtfully, looked at Wang Yu with a light face, and smiled.
