Chapter 376: Decisive Battle in Advance

Licheng. ※※

"It's a little tricky...... Wang Yu touched his chin and stood in front of the map, with a sad face.

"It's really troublesome...... Jia Xu stood beside him, also pinching his chin, and the expression on his round face was like sadness.

"Lord, Wenhe, what are you ......" Tian Feng was confused, if he hadn't read Tai Shi Ci's letter just now, he would have thought that Tai Shi Ci had suffered a big defeat.

But in fact, the situation is obviously very good!

With only 300 cavalry, they actually annihilated ten times the enemy army, forcibly blocked the whole army on the way, and even had the possibility of further expanding the results of the battle, what is there to question about such a great victory?

In addition, it must be seen that the extraordinary significance of this war is also recognized.

As early as when Tian Feng first arrived in Qingzhou and had a dialogue with Wang Yu about the future of Qingzhou, so as to decide to stay, he heard Wang Yu vaguely mention the concept of militia construction.

This concept is not very new, as far back as the Warring States Period, there are similar examples, when Zhao resisted the invasion of the northern Xiongnu, relying on Li Mu's iron cavalry and the cooperation of the border people.

The border people are the main force of defense, and through various measures, they delay the speed of the invaders' attack, hide grain and grass materials, gather manpower, and achieve the goal of clearing the wilderness, and at the same time, prepare for a counterattack.

Li Mu's iron cavalry was the main force of the counterattack, and after the warning appeared, Zhao Guojing's cavalry immediately set off as an army, and according to the intelligence in front, directly detoured to the enemy's rear, and then attacked in reverse.

The border people are like sponges, their combat power is not strong, and they are flattened as soon as they are pressed, but in the process of being flattened, they consume the sharp energy of the invaders at the smallest cost. The Iron Cavalry is like an iron cone, taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, going around the back and following the hole that the sponge is pressed out. An awl pierced down, directly piercing the hand that the invader had reached into was riddled with holes, and blood flowed like a river.

Tian Feng is a native of Julu, Julu is the place of the old Zhao, he has studied the history of Zhao, and the concept proposed by Wang Yu moved him at once. In this regard, he and Wang Yu have discussed many times, if it were not for the fact that Qingzhou's current theme is still mainly to resume production. There is no suitable candidate, and he may have been eager to start implementing it.

Tai Shici's three hundred cavalry were originally just used to harass, but who would have thought that they would come unintentionally.

Others from those few battles. What he saw might just be Tai Shici's bravery or resourcefulness, but Tian Feng saw that the model of joint military and civilian operations had already taken shape, and then, as long as he copied it.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and with a good start, are you still afraid that the implementation will not go well?

A win-win situation strategically and tactically. I really don't know what these two have to worry about.

"Yuan Hao, you only see one of them, and you don't know what it is." Wang Yu sighed and nodded on the map. The point is between Tobu Castle and the Shogun: "The tactics of joint operations between soldiers and civilians are only applicable to the defense of territory, but this generation is a veritable enemy-occupied area. Our army is simply not able to provide effective support, behind this great victory. What is hidden is a great crisis. ”

"Oh?" Tian Feng thought about it seriously, but he didn't know the essentials for a while: "Dare to ask the lord, what is the difference?" ”

"Well, how do you say that?" This is a long way to say, Wang Yu looked at Jia Xu, and wanted the latter to help, but the old fox was not so active, Wang Yu saw a pious appearance that could die at the end of the day, which made him suddenly angry.

"To put it simply, the purpose is different." This breath is out of breath.

"Purpose?" Tian Feng repeated the keyword, obviously feeling very fresh.

"The purpose of carrying out joint military-civilian operations on the mainland is to weaken and weaken the enemy, to play the role of clearing the field in disguise, and to gain time for the main force to assemble or mobilize. Under this principle, a certain amount of sacrifice is worth it, and the sacrifice of the people in order to defend their homeland is also meaningful. In the future, when the war to pacify the world is completely launched, this strategy will play a very positive role in stabilizing the rear, just like Li Mu did back then. ”

Wang Yu talked eloquently, no one in this era has more say than him on the topic of all-people war, and what he summed up is more than 2,000 years of theory and experience. Although he has always talked about Li Mu's precedent, he believes that even if Li Mu is reincarnated, it is impossible to understand this more deeply than him.

"Although the purpose of fighting behind enemy lines is also to exhaust the enemy, the main purpose is to harass and contain the enemy. It is not impossible to unite the people to fight, but the problem is that the people are not an army after all, their frontal combat capability is limited, and they have homes that cannot be moved away, so if the joint operation cannot form a decisive effect, and the enemy army has reinforcements to arrive, it will be troublesome......

This is what Wang Yu is really worried about, the so-called people's war is not omnipotent, and it cannot change the local contrast between the strength and weakness of the enemy and us. If the enemy launches a frenzied retaliatory action, the civilians involved in the joint operation are bound to suffer heavy losses, and the massacre of the city is nothing new in this era.

Tian Feng's face also changed, local operations are indeed different from operations behind enemy lines, local operations are equivalent to exchanging space for time, sticking to and waiting for help, behind enemy lines

The battle is weak against strong, winning a hundred games may not be able to achieve the final victory, as long as you lose one, the previous efforts will be in vain.

The most likely scenario is that Yuan Shao decisively reinforces Zhang Yang, forming a flanking attack and launching a full-scale massacre. In this way, Tai Shi Ci will not have much room for maneuver.

Abandon the people who just fought side by side? I'm afraid he can't do such a thing. As for the battle, his troops are too small, and the ability of the light cavalry to attack and defend is quite limited, and the result can be imagined.

Thinking of this, Tian Feng broke out in a cold sweat, and said in a panic: "Can't you follow the example of Zhang Jiao back then?" ”

In this battle, Pei Yuanshao played a very key role, so Tian Feng had this association.

"I'm afraid it won't work." Jia Xu sighed and replied: "Zhang Jiao's mobile battle relies on blind obedience with the backbone, if the people of Qinghe are willing to go south with the army, why do they have to wait until now?" The reason why they were easily mobilized was because they firmly believed that the lord would soon fight back and keep their homeland, but now ...... Alas! ”

As he spoke, he looked at Wang Yu and waited for the latter to come out with an idea calmly as usual.

Wang Yu felt Jia Xu's gaze, but what could he do?

According to Wang Yu's original idea, Tai Shici should be interspersed with Zhang Yangjun's back, use the Qingzhou Army's good civilian foundation to obtain intelligence and supplies, use the mobility of light cavalry, nail it to the back of the Jizhou Army, and give it continuous blows.

In addition, Tai Shici also has another mission, that is, Wang Yu's intention to order Pei Yuanshao to accompany him.

Who would have thought that this guy was too proactive and actually hit a base behind enemy lines!

This is terrible, in the face of a humanist enemy, guerrilla warfare is a treasure; In the face of a murderous enemy who will raise a butcher's knife to the people, guerrilla warfare is scum.

I am afraid that the enemy destroyed by the guerrilla attack at once will not even reach one-tenth of the civilians who died in the enemy's retaliation, and unless the lives of the people are exchanged for the battle record, it is of no use at all.

What is it that Shi Ci still said in the letter that he is clever, strategizing, and winning thousands of miles away, it is all nonsense, obviously he has no such plan at all, okay?

But if you put yourself in your shoes, Tai Shi Ci just arrived in the place, and encountered that kind of thing, even if he changed himself, I'm afraid the approach would not be much different, right?

It can only be said that it is providence to make people.

Wang Yu sighed again, turned to Jia Xu and asked, "What's the movement of Langya?" ”

"I have been in a hurry before, and it seems that I have received the news of our army's southern crossing a few days ago, and it has died down, in addition, there is an unconfirmed news......" Jia Xu was not surprised by Wang Yu's question, but when he talked about the last news, he seemed very hesitant.

Wang Yu frowned: "What's the news?" ”

"There is an extra military advisor by Zang Ba's side, if you guess correctly, it should be Xi Zhicai......"

Zang Ba is also a native of Taishan, and half of the people around him are from Taishan and Qingzhou, relying on this convenience, his intelligence network in Qingzhou is the most efficient among the princes. And the reverse is the same, Qingzhou's information on Langya is also very detailed.

There will always be those who will swing and bet on both sides.

"He's him again? Haunted guys. Wang Yu had a headache.

Xu Shu opened up the situation in Xuzhou, and there was hope to solve this trouble. But the other party saw the opportunity very quickly, and after discovering Sun Ce's abnormal movement, he immediately ran away, but let Sun Ce occupy Pengcheng without a single soldier, and picked up a big bargain in vain. thought that Puyang had changed, and he would go back to Cao Cao to help, but he didn't want this person to run to Langya again.

In this way, Cao Cao has already solved Liu Dai, at least is he in control of the situation?

"Lord, is it the way to save Ziyi, is it ......" The topic has changed, but Tian Feng knows very well that the lord is not changing the topic, and suddenly asked about Langya's purpose, which is nothing more than to confirm the threat of Qingzhou's back road.

Retreating, of course, is to lure the enemy, but it also has the meaning of breaking through each and solving Zang Ba first. However, it is not difficult to lure out a Zang Ba, but it is not so easy to get past a scheming guy like Xi Zhicai.

If you really want to fight, it will take a long time, and what Qingzhou lacks most now is time. Once Yuan Shao made up his mind and sent heavy troops to encircle and suppress, Qingzhou was afraid that he would lose a general.

Wang Yu nodded and said in a deep voice: "I can only fight a decisive battle in advance." ”

"But ......"

"The arrangement of our army has not been completed, and neither has Yuan Shao, there will not be much difference between launching it now and waiting for the opportunity to launch it later. What's more, although Ziyi is now in danger, why hasn't he contained a large number of enemy troops? ”

Wang Yu waved his hand, interrupted Tian Feng, and then said solemnly: "Yuan Hao, Qingzhou, I will hand it over to you and Yuan Zhi." What the people of Qinghe can do, there is no reason why the people of Qingzhou can't do it, what do you think? ”

Tian Feng bowed and replied solemnly: "Feng dares not to serve his life." ”
