Section 1277 Before the war (1)
Li Guang led the people to leave Qianping, continued north, and arrived at the largest former enemy fortress in Yuyang County and the most important in the northeast of Yuyang, the Commandery of Yaoyang, in the evening of the same day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Like the name of Yuyang's county, the name of the county is derived from the river.
In the south of the fortress, the water flows through the front of the fortress, forming a natural moat, so the Yan people choose to build a city here.
At the same time, the fortress was also backed by the Chaoshan mountains, and the tide flowed out of the mountains, so basically, it was impossible for the enemy from the south to attack Yaoyang.
In addition, the Yangsai and the other important town of Yuyang, Baitan, are each other's horns.
In the vast mountainous area between the water and the water, the enemy can only choose to attack either the sun or the white sandalwood.
And this will immediately liberate the defenders of another fortress.
Back then, Yan Guobing relied on this hand to play the Donghu people.
Fight to Yang, the white sandalwood army can stab the chrysanthemum along the wet water, fight the white sandalwood, ask the Yang defenders to go out of the water, take the straight road, and still make you want to die.
Now, however, the biggest problem in these areas is the lack of troops and food.
And most importantly - they are building the outer city of the Great Wall.
There is no shelter from Yanshan, and there is no cover from the Great Wall.
Therefore, it is likely that the enemy will not pay attention to them at all, and will pounce on the slippery salt and the taunt of the Great Wall.
But these two places cannot be abandoned.
Because, through today's observation all day, Li Guang has already understood why the Han army has set up heavy troops in this area outside the Great Wall of Yan and Qin.
The reason is that the Great Wall is built to attack the strong and defend the weak.
If you give up these two places, in fact, Yu Xi and Slippery Salt will lose the space to toss and turn, and they will be suffocated to death by the enemy!
But with this, the whole line of defense comes alive.
The Han army, which set out from Yuxi and Slippery Salt Stop, could safely operate in the vast mountainous areas and fight against any enemy who wanted to fight.
Moreover, if these two places are abandoned, it will pose a huge threat to the defenders of Yu Xi and Huayan and even Yuyang Sai.
There is no more yang plug and white sandalwood plug to control the tide mountain, tide water, and after the water and wet water.
The Huns could take advantage of the convenience of the river and drive straight in.
The baggage of the Huns did not even need to be transported.
They could have set up a raft upstream and let the raft go down the river, and they didn't know how much effort they would have to save!
After Li Guang made an inspection, he had some eyebrows in his heart.
He said to everyone: "The shape of the mountains and rivers wins, and the sun can be guarded but not guarded!" ā
"Prepare to evacuate the people of Yaoyang and Baitan, and all retreat to Pinggu County after Qianping!" Li Guang immediately decided: "Start evacuating now, mobilize the army, go deep into the village pavilion, and help the people evacuate!" ā
"At the same time, prepare firewood and grease, ready to burn the city at any time!"
"General!" When you want Yang Du Wei Yang, he immediately became anxious: "You can't give up Yang and Bai Tan!" ā
Zhang Feng, who is also the county commander of Baitan County, and is also the lieutenant of Baitan County, has even more red eyes: "The land of ancestors cannot be abandoned!" If the general abandons the white sandalwood, please step over my corpse! ā
For the Yan people, the love of homeland is the most difficult to part.
This is especially true for these officers who have chosen to stay in this cold place.
If it weren't for the deep love of their hometown and the reluctance to leave the mountains and rivers of their homeland, they would have gone to Anton a long time ago.
Andong's Protector Army, the Reclamation Regiments, and the Korean State were all eager to find talent.
But they were unmoved and chose to stay.
This land of fishing and sun, although barren, although cold, although difficult.
However, this is their hometown, the place where their fathers and grandparents lived, and the place where their ancestors and ancestral halls lived.
Abandoning one's hometown is tantamount to giving up the protection of ancestral tombs and ancestral halls.
As long as they thought that the tombs of their ancestors and clans might be harassed or even destroyed by the Huns, they felt uncomfortable and wanted to die!
Even Liang Xian, the commander of Yuyang Saidu, said: "Won't the general think about it anymore?" You must know that if you want to guard the Great Wall, you must guard the Yang and White Sandalwood, which is a lesson left by our ancestors from generation to generation! ā
"If Yang and Bai Tan are lost, the two stoppers of the Great Wall, Yu Xi and Slippery Salt, will become the live targets of the Hun cavalry......" Liang Xian sincerely analyzed: "Please think twice!" ā
Li Guang nodded and said, "Of course I know the importance of Yang and Bai Tan, and I have also seen the map and the archives of the old days, so I am not the kind of person who ignores reality......"
When Li Guang was a guard lieutenant in Chang'an, every time he went to court, the person sitting in front of him was always Yu Hou Luanbu, the patriarch of the Han family.
As a senior, Luan Bu also once told him some common sense about Yuyang, Shanggu and Youbeiping.
And Luan Bu's evaluation of the Great Wall of Swallow Thistle has always been - strong and weak in attack!
Now, after seeing the geography and city conditions of the Great Wall and beyond the Great Wall with his own eyes, Li Guang has already understood the meaning of what Luan Bu said back then.
He looked at everyone and said, "I said, you want to keep the yang but you can't keep it...... Here's why...... The captives who attacked this time were not 12,000, but at least 50,000 or more! ā
"The men in the entire Yuyang combined, there may not be so many ......"
"And the cavalry pioneer, it must be full of spirit!"
"The Art of War says: one blow of strength, then decline, and then exhaustion!"
"My idea is to avoid the edge of the Huns and lure the enemy deep into the ......" Li Guang said with a smile: "Then, our army is here, give the Huns a hard blow!" ā
Li Guang held up the map, and pointed his finger heavily at the mountainous area where the water and the tide meet: "One bite will eat the Huns and ten thousand horsemen!" ā
"Gentlemen, hold on to the city, we may have to face the sharpness of the main force of the Huns, countless comrades and siblings, will die in battle, and their death will be meaningless!" Li Guang said: "It is not possible to fight a pure defensive battle, and it is impossible to defend the Yuyang Great Wall by defense!" ā
"Don't say it's here, it's Yanmen Pass, and you can't rely on pure defense to defend ......"
Yanmen Pass is the world's Xiongguan!
It is also a well-known fortress.
However, in the past fifty years, Yanmen Pass has been breached by the Huns several times.
Not to mention Yanmen Pass, even big cities like Taiyuan and Jinyang were also in the battle of Pingcheng and once fell into the hands of the Xiongnu.
Even in the past, the top brass of the Han army knew that they could not defend it by defense.
Enemies must be destroyed or routed in the field to defend the city!
Otherwise, no matter how strong the city is, it will fall because of the siege.
And the attrition of the defense of the city is too great!
It's all about taking human lives to fill in!
Today, in the offensive-led Han army, few people think about this kind of thing.
It is a well-known fact that defense does not lead to victory, only fearless losses.
Similar to the Han and Hungarian in the past, in the area of the Great Wall, the hedgehog gathered hundreds of thousands of troops, staring at each other, no one could help anyone's affairs, and no one wanted to come again.
What's more, now this Yuyang county guard is still Li Guang!
And it's Li Guang in his prime!
When Li Guang was in his prime, even in the era when the cavalry strength between the Han and the Huns was completely disproportionate, he dared to fight with the Huns.
So much so that at that time, the great Honglu Gongsun Kunxie wanted to write to Emperor Jing: Li Guang is talented, there are countless people in the world, he is conceited of his ability, and he is afraid of death.
At that time, Li Guangdu was already confident enough to dare to fight in the Hun field, and dared to engage in cavalry and guerrilla warfare with the Hun cavalry, and often took the initiative to find trouble with the Huns.
He even deliberately provoked, so bold that he dared to shoot the Huns' condor shooters with only a few hundred people.
His courage is naturally great, and his appetite is also super strong.
Now, he has come to Yuyang, and it is at a time when the balance of power between Han and Hungary is completely tilted to the side of the Han family.
Naturally, he would not be stupid enough to gather heavy troops in the Great Wall and the cities outside the Great Wall to fight a regular war of attrition with the Huns.
That's not his character, and it's not something stupid he'll choose to do!
"At present, how many cavalry are there in Yuyang?" Li Guang asked.
"General, less than two thousand ......," Yuyang Lieutenant Liang Xian said ashamedly.
As a border fortress, the number of cavalry in Yuyang is indeed a shame for China today.
But there's no way around it!
The people of Yuyang can't even eat enough, where do they get the financial resources and energy to raise cavalry?
These two thousand horses are still the funds and horses that the Yuyang people got back after rolling in Chang'an.
These funds were almost embezzled by King Yan......
In short, it's all tears!
"How many soldiers are there on horseback?" Li Guang asked again.
"General Huiyu, a soldier who can ride a horse, there are about 5,000 ......" said proudly when he wanted to be the commander of Yang, Yuyang has a vast land and few people, and he is still poor, but Yuyang also has his own advantages, that is, it is located in the border area, and almost everyone is practicing riding and shooting.
The sons and daughters of the local heroes are all good at training!
Moreover, the quality of Yuyang's soldiers is very high.
Otherwise, Anton's side wouldn't have come over desperately to dig the foot of the wall!
"That's it!" Li Guangyi patted his thigh and said, "Gather all the soldiers who can ride horses, and I will solve the matter of war horses!" ā
Others listened, but it was a little incredulous.
If you want to form another 3,000 cavalry, you need to replenish at least 5,000 war horses!
It's not easy!
Not to mention, war horses also need equipment, and in a hurry, everyone could not imagine that they could get so many ordnance and horses from there.
But Li Guang patted his chest and said, "You can just prepare!" ā
The problem of war horses and ordnance is indeed very troublesome.
But for Li Guang, it's just trouble.
As far as Li Guang knows, after the Battle of Mayi, the Son of Heaven once opened horse farms in Zhao and Yan to raise horses.
He had been a guard lieutenant, and he had some friendship with the servants and the people of the Shaofu Yamen, so on the way here, he had already sent people to these horse farms to transfer horses.
When he arrived in Yuyang, more than 7,000 already equipped war horses in the horse farms of Zhao and Yan were already on the way.
That's the benefit of networking!
But Li Guang didn't want to talk about this matter to everyone, he didn't want to tell the people of Yuyang how extensive his connections were and how powerful he was, which was not conducive to unity, let alone combat. (To be continued.) )
