Chapter 29

Seeing that the scene of "Wang Ping's hundred horsemen robbing Cao Ying" was about to be staged, who expected that before it was dark, a letter came, saying that the Wei army was attacking by land.

Gan Xingba is really stretched, he occupies the water and land points, the terrain is dangerous, and he has the upper hand, but the number of problem soldiers is too small, but he is divided to defend Padang and Brazil counties, and he can really block Yufu, but there are only more than 10,000 people. The Wei people had 50,000 troops and more than 10,000 navy troops, which was several times their own. No matter how dangerous the level is, after all, "one man is the pass, ten thousand people are not open" is just a common proverb, it should not be true, if the Wei people are hugged regardless of casualties, one is careless, and a gap is opened by it, and the whole line may collapse.

So his original plan was to block the landing route by himself, let Zhan Yan lead the naval army, and use the enemy Lusu. Although Gan Ning's own experience in water warfare is several times stronger than Zhan Yan's, the threat of the waterway in his consciousness will not be too great, as long as he stops those slender men, even if Cao Wei's big boat can paddle against the current, can it still fight as slow as a turtle? Whoever wants to be defeated by the waterway first, even the port is taken by the enemy.

What now? If Lu Su continues to be blocked here, Sima Yi is likely to break through easily by land. Go back to blocking the land route? Na Lu Zijing is not a vegetarian either, and he will not just stop at the port. Divide the troops to resist, the troops are already insufficient...... In desperation, he had to order Wang Ping to block Lu Su here for the time being, and he personally led the main force back to Yufu City to fight Sima Yi.

Lu Zijing released black technology this time, successfully passed Qutang Gorge, and then beat the Shu Han naval army, killing Gan Xingba by surprise, which is truly groundbreaking, and will definitely enter history in the future. But the ensuing battle was lackluster, and the forces were superior. There is also a repeater guarantee. Just push it flat. No matter how much the prince tried to defend, he could not stop his advance, and in just two days, Wang Ping was defeated and retreated to Yufu, and went to Gan Ning to ask for guilt. Gan Ning is also unimaginable, Sima Yi personally led the army to the city, and he did not fight, and he has been cutting wood to make siege equipment for the past two days. I am afraid that the day when its equipment is built will be the time when the fish will be overturned.

Gan Ning was almost stupid by Cao Wei's new equipment, but he knew that there were flaming arrows in the past, but now he saw the giant repeater, especially the Wei boat can fly against the water, which makes people's tongues fall the most. God knows what new tricks Sima Zhongda will play at that time?

So he turned his heart sideways, that is, he recruited 300 people who dared to die at night, sneaked open the city gate, and personally led the killing to rob the camp. The "Hundred Cavalry Robbery Camp" sounds quite majestic, but it is actually a helpless plan. At most, it will only temporarily dampen the enemy's spirit. In the original history, Gan Ning was ordered by Sun Quan to rob Cao Cao. It is said in the history books that "the enemy is alarmed and retreats", but in fact, the causal relationship may not be so obvious. "The Biography of Jiang Biao" said:

"Ning Nai players have more than 100 athletes, and they went to Cao Gongying, so that they pulled out the antlers, crossed the base and entered the camp, and won dozens of levels. The northern army was frightened and clamoured, raising fire like stars, and Ning had already returned to the camp to preach, saying long live. Because of seeing the right at night, Quan Xi said: 'Is it enough to frighten Lao Tzu?' Talk about it. ’…… After stopping for more than a month, the northern army retreated. "It is impossible for Cao Cao to be attacked by these hundred or so people once, so he immediately ordered to retreat.

In this timeline, Gan Ning personally attacked the camp, but he didn't expect the effect to be worse. Others with titles and horses wrapped in hooves, sneaked close to the Wei army camp, protruded and shouted, that is, pulled out the antlers and entered. The Wei army was indeed frightened at first, but Sima Yi firmly stayed in the camp and did not move, just gave an order, so that the soldiers lined up layer by layer, and gradually swept outward, Gan Ning won dozens of ranks, but there were no Wei army generals, they were just small soldiers, and they couldn't go deep, so they had to reflexively retreat.

Because at this time, the soldiers led by Sima Yi were fundamentally different from the Cao army in the original history, and his style of using troops was also very different from Cao Mengde.

In the original history, the battles in the late Han Dynasty and the early period of the Three Kingdoms were fought very wonderfully, and the battles were also very fierce, and the personal quality of the generals had a great impact on the victory or defeat, but the relative quality of the soldiers was often greatly reduced. Danyang is a strong army in the world, and the Danyang soldiers who can be Tao Qian were killed like dogs by Cao Cao's always slow Qingzhou army, and Tancheng is almost unprotected, why? The generals are strong.

Because most of the soldiers at that time were not the official soldiers of the Han Dynasty, theoretically speaking, they were just the armed forces of the local officials, the training was limited, the discipline was very bad, and there was no great righteousness to be integrated, and it all depended on the personal generals to tie in kindness and righteousness. Therefore, if you can get strong soldiers, most of these strong soldiers can only fight a tailwind battle, such as Guan Yu in Xiangyang and Fancheng, as soon as he heard that the back road was cut off, the soldiers scattered instantly, which is an example.

Cao Jun is considered to have better military discipline among the princes of all walks of life, and it is just a general in the file, and the slaughter in Xuzhou is very miserable - the history says that Cao Cao slaughtered the three counties, although the water is very large, and most of them are smeared, but it is nonsense to say that they do not offend civilians. Yu Wen started by rectifying the discipline of the Qingzhou soldiers.

For similar troops with weak discipline, it is also extremely normal for Gan Xingba to see Sun Quan repay his merits when they were attacked by more than 100 people overnight, so that Gan Xingba could also see Sun Quan to repay his merits.

But today's Wei army is different, through Cao Cao's rectification and the overall planning of the system of Xun, most of them have been classified as real national troops, and many dependents have to be settled, and even fields have been divided - you must know that the most powerful central army in the Western Han Dynasty was originally from the "Sanfu Liang family", which was all owned by industry, able to bring their own equipment, and joining the army was not a mixed meal but purely a rich peasant or a small landlord's son who wanted to win a background. The training and discipline of such an army are no longer comparable to those of Cao Wei's grass head team.

In particular, in order to deal with Xishu, Cao Cao made the most efforts to rectify the Yongzhou Army and the Jingzhou Army, and the Cai, Kuai, and Huang clans, who had great influence in the Jingzhou area, were all relieved of their military power and transferred to serve in the capital. Sima Zhongda had led such a force this time, otherwise with his age in his thirties and his lack of outstanding military exploits, it would have been impossible for him to completely control the troops in just a few months.

Just like in the original history, Sima Yi fought against Zhuge Liang at the beginning of Shanglong, and he was almost pressed and beaten, and at the end he lost the famous general Zhang He. According to historical records, although he once served as Sima Yi's deputy in the Southern Theater of Operations, Zhang Junyi still confronted his boss in everything. It is impossible to determine which of the two is right and who is wrong, but the generals are not in harmony, and Sima Yi cannot fight completely according to his own ideas, which is indeed an indisputable fact. Therefore, since then, people have also speculated that Zhang Hezhong's arrow wooden door is actually Sima deliberately trapped, even if he didn't want to kill him, he also wanted General Zhang to lose an adult, and he couldn't raise his head in front of him again......

Even if Zhang He died, Sima Yi still had to play a double reed with Cao Rong after that, so that Xin Bizhu would be able to prevent the generals from fighting, which can also be seen how difficult it is to firmly control a very independent local army.

Now that he is in charge of the Jingzhou Army, Sima Yi naturally cannot be truly like his fingers, but with a little rectification, the situation he faces is much stronger than in the original history. Besides, Zhong Da uses his soldiers without fancy, and uses more positive attacks - Shi Xun sometimes thinks that if he really enters the arquebus era, maybe Sima will be like the later Hunan army, and fight in a daze......

Sima Yi is also very strange, although he has been in the battle a few times, but he has no outstanding military achievements, why did the teacher recommend to the Son of Heaven to let himself be the president of Jingzhou soldiers and horses? Does he really think so much of himself? With a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, he couldn't help but feel that Zhong Da didn't play ten times the spirit, he pondered that the enemy was outnumbered, as long as there were no omissions, the victory could be expected, and he was afraid that he would want to play with flowers and end up playing with the enemy, but he would be taken advantage of by the enemy army - is this kind of example still rare in history? So Lu Su said that he had a plan to break the Xishu Water Division, and he went straight to the city, Sima Yi said Then you go and do it, I still use the dignified array and the banner of righteousness here, and push it all the way over.

Therefore, when he arrived at the city of Deyu, he was not in a hurry to attack the city, but tied the camp firmly, with antlers and arrow towers, which were densely packed with chains, so that Gan Xingba had no place to speak. When he heard that the enemy had robbed the camp that night, Sima was not worried at all: Even if you kill the whole division, how many soldiers and horses can you have? I'm not afraid that you will really take the camp, but what I'm afraid of is that the army will be in chaos and out of control. So he warned the generals not to be alarmed, and to go back and restrain the soldiers, and not to have to confront the enemy—as long as the camp is not chaotic, you will not be guilty of any death!

In the end, Gan Xingba retreated gloomily, with few results. Sima Yi continued to stand still, but only quarried more stones and woods to make siege equipment. Lu Su set up camp in his oblique square, and sent people to urge him many times, saying that we can't spend too long with here, so I got the news that Hanzhong has been obtained by the metropolitan governor, and now it is waiting to advance into Shuzhong, Shu Road is difficult, and I am afraid that the grain will not continue, so I must hope that we will hurry up to help. Sima Yi only replied to a sentence in his "Analects": "There is no desire for speed, and there is no small profit." If you want to be fast, you can't reach it, and if you see a small profit, you can't do a big thing. ”

It took seven days in a row, and finally all the siege equipment was built, and the onslaught on Yufu City began. The Wei army was the first to discharge a column of chariots, and each workshop was covered by nest carts—the carts were equipped with crossbowmen—and the bombardment towards the city was three or four hours in a row, almost smashing the earthen walls, and all kinds of wooden buildings on the walls were swept away.

Near dusk, Sima Yi saw that the long-range attack had a good effect, so he immediately ordered to launch various melee equipment such as crash cars, cloud ladders, and even Lu Gong cars, and the Wei army lined up in multiple phalanxes of hundreds of people and attacked the city in turns. It was about to fall into the night, the torches under the city were as bright as day, Gan Ning finally couldn't bear it anymore, the south gate was broken through first, and then the east gate was also lost.

Gan Xingba sighed: "That's it! He said, "The first emperor belongs to me to guard the fish and defend the eastern gateway of Sichuan, and now it is only one day to break the enemy, but I have to die, that is, to go underground to ask the first emperor for guilt!" Then he took out the ring knife in his hand and wiped it on his neck...... (To be continued.) )
