Chapter 389: Whoever Plays Dead
Hao Shao in the city of Guangzhou prepared two days of grain and grass and hot food for Liu Mang's army, and originally wanted to prepare a house for Zhao Yun's Baima Congyi, but Liu Mang refused, he can't afford to delay it now, and the light cavalry of Baima Congyi, Liu Mang plans to let him travel thousands of miles a day, just this hundred miles alone needs to stay in the city, hot food supply, and what kind of soldiers!
One person and two horses, exchange rides, the spirit of the war horse is fine, but these cavalry are a little sluggish, after all, there are still a thousand recruits among the three thousand white horses, which need to be taken care of, fortunately, there are saddles and stirrups on the war horses, otherwise these recruits would have been thrown out a long time ago.
The two-day Mercedes-Benz also made these recruits adapt a little, and once they entered the city to rest, they would have lost all their efforts.
"Replenish food and grass, rest for half an hour, and move forward immediately!" Liu Mang gave an order to Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun hugged his fists and said yes, Zhao Yun has the experience of commanding cavalry, but Liu Mang has the behavior method of Mangu tactics, and the combination of the two can really show the tactics after a thousand people.
Now Gwangju is no longer the small city that Liu Mang didn't care about, the current Gwangju has been merged into three by Liu Mang, and the three cities of Yiyang Zao Sunshine State are the places where Hao Shaohua is wielded, and Gwangju Liu Mang also raised him from a small county town to the county Cheng dù.
Hao Shao was already good at defense, and with the resources of the three cities, the western gateway of Yangzhou could be regarded as impregnable.
"Wen Chang is still in Yiyang!" Liu Mang's army arrived, and Wei Yan and the others should have come to greet Liu Mang, but now they didn't see Wei Yan's figure. So Liu Mang asked.
"Yes. General Wei Yan is now commanding the military forces in Yiyang! Hao Shao nodded at Liu Mang. Wei Yan and Hao Shao had not worked with him before, but Wei Yan's ability Hao Shao saw it, and the Yiyang soldiers under his command were directly a bunch of outlaws, and they were not afraid of death at all when they fought in a war, so could such a force be strong! Wei Yan has the ability, Hao Shao naturally has some respect for Wei Yan, Hao Shao comes from the Bingzhou wolf ride, and the Bingzhou wolf rider worships the powerful people, so although Wei Yan belongs to Hao Shao's moderation. However, Hao Shao usually asks Yu Wei Yan and Wei Yan to discuss matters together, and the cooperation between the two is also very close. "Do you want Shao to call General Wei Yan back?!"
"No need, I will definitely pass through Yiyang this time, and then I will talk about it then," Liu Mang waved his hand and said, "Yiyang soldiers, five thousand men and horses, Bo Dao, you also have five thousand soldiers and horses in your hands, a total of ten thousand, there are enough people here!" Liu Mang frowned and asked Hao Shaodao.
Three cities, 10,000 soldiers and horses, looks like a lot. But in fact, there are not many, and the average city has only 3,000 people. Moreover, among the 10,000 people, 5,000 Yiyang soldiers have not really formed an army, but what Hao Shao needs to guard against is Liu Bei's 40,000 soldiers and horses, even in Xinye, there are 15,000 men and horses of Liu Biao in Jingzhou.
"Don't worry, my lord, although Shao is not good at conquering cities, as long as Shao is still alive, he will definitely not let the enemy army step into Yangzhou!" Hao Shao said certainly, two thousand third-rate garrison troops, Hao Shao can block Liu Bei's 20,000 troops for three days, and now Hao Shao has 10,000 men and horses, which can command the materials of the three cities, making the western gateway of Yangzhou even more impregnable.
"Bodao, you and Wen Yuan are now my two major gatekeepers!" Hao Shao's defensive ability Liu Mang is still very relieved, this person is the first person to stop Brother Zhu, the battle of Chen Cang, so that Brother Zhu has Hao Shao's plan not to go out of Sichuan and Shu, you can see Hao Shao's defensive power, the only one who can be compared with Hao Shao in the Eastern Han Dynasty is the unmasked Huo Jun, the two of them are called the Great Wall of Human Flesh. As for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry rushing into Yangzhou before, it was because Hao Shao really had no cavalry in his hands, and the war horse under his crotch could not reach the elite of Xiliang Iron Cavalry, so Jia Xu rushed into Yangzhou and the soldiers came to the city. This time, Liu Mang also brought a hundred war horses to Hao Shao to spare.
Soon half an hour passed, half of the war horses were fed with horse feed, half were not fed, and the white horses rode from righteousness to those who were not fed, once the war horses ate too much, because of digestive problems, the running will naturally be slow, and the horsepower will be much less, and the other half of the war horses that did not eat horse feed because they want to be a person, so the degree of offset between the two phases is also about the same.
A day and a half away, Liu Mang's army once again arrived outside Yiyang City, Wei Yan had already greeted him there, accompanied by Wei Yan were five thousand Yiyang soldiers, although they did not have the killing intent of a hundred battle elites, but they were also in good spirits. Liu Mang was very satisfied, although this Wei Yan was a little arrogant, he was very capable! Those who have the ability are arrogant, and those who don't have the ability are called criminals, and they are cheap.
"Let's go into town!" In Gwangju, Liu Mang did not choose to rest because he needed to exercise the white horse Congyi in his hands, so that those recruits could adapt to this long-distance run, and rested in Yiyang, that was because the four days were almost all on horseback, which was already a kind of training, and everything was too late, and now the white horse Congyi has been trained, at least he can stop running for a few days, if he is forced to continue training, it will only lead to collapse, so proper rest is still needed.
What's more, Liu Mang has more important things to do in Yiyang City.
As soon as he heard Liu Mang say that he could go into the city to rest, the entire white horse began to boil, whether it was those recruits or veterans, even if he rode a horse for a four-day long-distance run, it was uncomfortable, eating and drinking Lasa was basically on the war horse, this kind of discomfort was not ordinary.
Basically, there were people who fell from their horses, and when they were riding horses, they floated to the cavalry behind them with the wind and ushered in a burst of scolding.
There are also those who are not proficient in learning, then they are really rushing to death, three thousand cavalry have gone to war, and there are no battles, five people have already died, and three are seriously injured, all of which were trampled to death by the war horses behind when they fell from their war horses.
The recruits are like this, and the veterans are no better, although those Xiliang iron horsemen took off their heavy armor and put on brocade clothes, they didn't dismount for four days! When they got off the horses, their buttocks began to stiffen, and some people's buttocks were soaked with their own buttocks, which was sweat mixed with blood.
"What a mess. What a mess! into a queue. Enter the city! Liu Mang frowned. The officers of the white horse congyi over there began to reprimand these white horse congyi, the light cavalry that Liu Mang needed was a man of his word, if he had been fighting a light cavalry that was dizzy and an ordinary light cavalry, what was the difference!
Seeing the white horse servants who were holding back their anger under the reprimand of the officer, Liu Mang suddenly laughed, now he just wants these rabbit cubs to hold their breath and complain in their hearts, who brought them these hardships! Naturally, it is the enemy, if Liu Bei hadn't killed Liu Mang's envoy, there would not have been such a long-distance attack. Even if there were, it would be months later, when everyone got used to it.
The complaints of their training will accumulate more and more, and in the end, they will all be sprinkled on the enemy, which is what Liu Mang needs.
Watching the white horse enter the city one by one, Wei Yan didn't know what to say, he was envious and jealous! White Horse Congyi is a man and two horses, in addition to his own war knife, the most White Horse Congyi carries is a quiver, which is full of arrows, and there are two war bows to spare. He was wearing brocade clothes, and his arrows were extremely luxurious. In this era, a war horse is so expensive that it can be hundreds of gold, and it is cheap to be up and down a few gold, this white horse Congyi's equipment can be equipped with a team of Yiyang soldiers, Wei Yanneng is not envious, jealous and hateful! Especially the white-robed Zhao Yun, the white-robed commander of the white horse and righteousness, didn't he have a conflict with this little white face in the first place! But after that, Zhao Yun directly became the chief general of the first army, and he Wei Yan was thrown into the Chengguan army to be a giant shield soldier, which is handsome.
Wei Yan blinked his lips, but envy is envy, now Wei Yan has his own kind of arrogance, although your little white-faced white horse Congyi is rich and luxuriously equipped, so what, it looks good and can't be eaten, it's a mule or a horse to pull out and slip away, you white horse from righteousness may not go to the battlefield to kill more enemies than he Yiyang soldiers. His Yiyang warrior can't be worse than his little white face, thinking so, Wei Yan suddenly scolded his subordinates loudly, "You can't walk!" Queue up, line up, which fucking can't walk, Lao Tzu will teach him personally! Under Wei Yan's reprimand, the Yiyang soldiers also began to plan neatly, and the soldiers and horses of the two roads walked out of the parade, which really made Liu Mang smile bitterly.
The two armies entered the city together, and with the help of the people in the city, they cooked and set up tents, Yiyang was not as good as other places, this was originally under the rule of Liu Biao, Liu Mang didn't want to go around the people too much, so let the soldiers and horses set up tents, but fortunately, the people rushed to help before dark.
Liu Mang also entered the county government of Yiyang, everyone sat down, and the banquet began, although there was no singing and dancing, it was also enjoyable, full of wine and food, Wei Yan approached Liu Mang and asked with his fists. "The lord wants to attack Nanyang this time?!"
"Or else?!" Liu Mang put down his wine glass and asked, Liu Bei killed Liu Mang's envoy, it can be regarded as a complete tear in the face, Liu Mang has not yet settled with him before attacking Yangzhou, and this time he is naturally here to recover the interest.
"General Cheng Yu and General Xu Sheng's soldiers and horses are behind?!"
Liu Mang shook his head, "Cheng Yu is in Gongwei Shouchun, Xu Sheng, now under Wenyuan, he should be in the Linhuai generation!" ”
"The lord attacked Nanyang, and there are only these three thousand white horses to follow righteousness?!" Wei Yan really didn't understand, if Liu Mang came to attack Nanyang County, or to deliver food to others, 3,000 lightly armed cavalry, and the opponent did have 40,000 soldiers and horses and a strong city defense, how could this be wrong. Rather than bury the white horse from Yi like this, it is better to give the remaining three thousand war horses to Wei Yan, although Wei Yan is a Yiyang warrior in his hand, but he also wants to turn the Yiyang warrior into a Yiyang iron horse.
"Three thousand soldiers and horses are enough!" Liu Mang looked at Wei Yan very indifferently and said.
"Lord, you?!" If it weren't for the dignity and orderliness, I'm afraid Wei Yan would have to touch Liu Mang thousands to see if he was burned, and his brain would be hot and confused. Three thousand soldiers and horses are enough, if this white horse is so powerful, it was still beaten into Yangzhou by the combined forces of Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu! It is not enough to directly form a white horse.
"Wen Chang, do you think I'm confused? Eyes blinded by anger?! Liu Mang looked at Wei Yan with a smile and said.
"Wei Yan doesn't dare!" Wei Yan lowered his head. Liu Mang was deeply impressed by Wei Yan's suppression of Wei Yan, where did he dare to directly confront Liu Mang.
Wei Yan said that he didn't dare, but his eyes were still a little arrogant, "Wen Chang, let me ask you!" One person and two horses, who in this Nanyang can catch up with me? “
Wei Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard Liu Mang's words, these three thousand white horses are righteous and have two horses, such a luxurious Cheng dù, the horsepower is absolutely sufficient, there are really few princes in the Central Plains who can afford such a configuration, not to mention that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is still a heavy armored cavalry, which is already very hurtful to the horsepower, relying on the explosion, compared to the horsepower, it is really not as good as the horsepower. “
"Three thousand white horses are righteous, can there be a foot soldier in this Nanyang who can stop me?!"
"Nope!" Light cavalry, against heavy cavalry and heavy infantry may be slightly insufficient, but against ordinary foot soldiers, that follows the law of cavalry natural restraint of foot soldiers, three thousand light cavalry is still a nightmare for this foot soldier.
"This Xiliang Iron Cavalry can't catch up with me, and this Nanyang foot soldier can't stop me! Wen Chang, do you still have any doubts! Liu Mang said to Wei Yan with a smile.
"This!" Wei Yan really couldn't refute it, Liu Mang's two sentences had already made his soldiers and horses invincible.
"But my lord, although this Nanyang soldier and horse can't help you, you can't help Liu Bei either!" Wei Yan doesn't understand, the army is dispatched to consume a large amount of grain and grass, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses can't stop you, but you can't help Liu Bei As long as Liu Bei closes the Nanyang gate and the city gate is closed, then Liu Mang's 3,000 light cavalry can only hang around outside the city, and there is the possibility of being ambushed by Liu Bei, and there is also a lot of money in the consumption of grain and grass! Why do such a thankless task?
"Hehe, he Nanyang Eighteen Counties, I really don't believe it, every one of his cities is closed, as long as one city is open, my army can come in the morning and dusk, break the city and destroy the torch If the field is so better! Zilong, you come to tell Sù Wen Chang about our sixteen-character secret! Liu Mang asked Zhao Yunlai on the side to talk to Wei Yan, it is good that these two people have fighting spirit, but they can't have the heart to fight, if there is discord within the army, there will be an accident, only by letting the two talk to each other can resolve the contradiction and ease the contradiction.
Zhao Yun nodded and walked forward, hugged his fist at Wei Yan and said, "General Wei Yan, the sixteen-character mantra left by the lord is that the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy retreats and I advance, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, and the enemy is tired and I fight!" ”
"This!" Hearing the sixteen words that Zhao Yun said, Wei Yan was really not calm, and gasped, these sixteen words are simple to say, but in fact, Wei Yan can't imagine it, you can't catch up with such a one, and you can't attack it, if you enter the palace, he will retreat, and if you retreat, he will come forward, and as soon as you rest, he will harass you and attack you, delay you, and make you miserable, I am afraid that within a few days, the morale will be reduced to a certain extent, although the damage of the fatigue tactics is not high, but it accumulates over time, The number of casualties in a few days is still terrible, and the possibility of a rout of the army in the end is the greatest! Once the morale of the ancient army is low, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced!
Wei Yan listened to what Zhao Yun said, if he was the Nanyang army on the other side, maybe the best way in the end would be to close the city gate and guard the city.
Indeed, what Liu Mang wants is for Liu Bei to defend the city and not come out, because in this way he can really make Nanyang uneasy, one of which can play a role in training troops, and the other is that Liu Mang can rely on this organization to organize the transportation of grain and grass for Liu Bei's army.
Liu Bei's Nanyang granary was burned by Jia Xu's fire, Liu Mang lacked grain and grass, didn't he Liu Bei lack it! If Liu Bei doesn't go out of the city, then he can only be trapped and starved to death in Nanyang, if Liu Bei goes out of the city, then just wait to be drunk and dream of death by these three thousand white horses from righteousness! Liu Bei made Liu Mang uncomfortable, and Liu Mang would not make Liu Bei comfortable. Now let's see whose strategy is a little more vicious, who can play to the death!
"The lord is talented, Wei Yan can't do it!" Wei Yan once again lowered his arrogant head and clenched his fists and said. (To be continued......)
