Chapter 1469 The Iron Army went south to overturn Yueyao
PS: Thank you to 'Tooth Moon Shadow' for voting for your precious monthly pass!
Yuan Shao's secret weapon is very mysterious, not to mention Cao Cao, even the generals on Yuan Shao's side can't guess it, which is also in line with the gist of the soldier's trickery.
And Yuan Shao relied on this killer move, at the moment is trekking in the mountains north of Wanxian County, speaking of which, here was originally a road to Jingzhou, this road was first opened by Guan Yu, and later after several widening, but because this road has to pass through Bear's Ears Mountain, Funiu Mountain, stretching mountains, rugged roads, making this road an extremely dangerous road.
In addition, the northern end of this road, that is, Liang County in Yin, Henan Province, has now been abandoned, and this road has also been abandoned, but in order to prevent a possible sneak attack by Sima Fang, Cao Cao still stationed a unit of Zhang Xun at the southern end of the road.
It's just that the person who covets this waste road this time is not Sima Fang, but Yuan Shao, and the one who did it is not even Yuan Shao's main force, but a stranger! Yes, it is the Iron Army that has gradually been forgotten!
It is natural for the Iron Army to accept Yuan Shao's invitation to go south to participate in the war this time, now the north is Fang Zhiwen's territory, and the Iron Army will not dare to openly start a war with Fang Zhiwen even if it is a cow, and there was originally Gongsun Chan in the west, but now Gongsun Chan has withdrawn from Hanoi County very simply, making the Iron Army look around!
The Iron Army is not a pure farming guild, on the contrary, the Iron Army is a fighting guild, although the members now also advocate the establishment of a city, but it does not mean that they have since transformed into a farming faction, therefore. Long-term inaction is clearly detrimental to the development of the guild.
Yuan Shao sent someone to secretly come to recruit him, and Song Hufeng immediately agreed, and this time the Iron Army sent the most elite heavily armored dragoons to fight. By breaking up the whole post mode of transportation. The Iron Army dispersed in batches and arrived at Yangzhai, Jiaxian and other places, and then infiltrated the hilly and mountainous areas in the form of missions, quietly converging towards the predetermined meeting place.
When Yuan Shao set up a position under Dingling City and prepared to storm Dingling City, the troops of the Iron Army had already gathered in a place called Yaoshan in the northwest of Nanzhao, which was the west side of the mountain road from Liang County to Nanzhao, and no one could have imagined it. A strong army belonging to Yuan Shao would appear in this position, and in a general sense, this was not the best place to attack Nanzhao. Because this place is nearly 100 miles away from Nanzhao, it is still a mountain road.
However, it is precisely because of this that the scouts of Nanzhao City never come here to investigate, let alone at night. That's why the Iron Army chose this place as a starting point.
"How. Are you all set? ”
"Alright, head, the teams have been assembled, the items and utensils of the night march have been checked, and the strikers are ready to set off.1
"Where are the scouts?"
"Twenty miles to the south, and the spies of Nanzhao have just written to confirm that the scouts in Nanzhao City have returned to the city within ten miles of the city according to their custom1
"Where's the checkpoint?"
"Nothing is out of the ordinary1
"Are there any player troop events?"
"This is inevitable, as long as the scouts drive them away or annihilate them without revealing any flaws."
"Hopefully. This battle is a battle in which our Iron Army has been reborn, and we can't mess it up1
"Rest assured. Everyone knows the severity, since the guild split, everyone is holding their breath in their hearts, the steel lion fought a beautiful battle at the airport in Shuzhong, but it was all a small fight, let them see, whose choice is right1
"Hehe, what's right or wrong about this, it's just a different idea, but it really can't be underestimated by us, and I think that Tiejun's teeth have really fallen out1
"It's not 1
"Alright, Departure 1
The well-organized and well-planned iron army was prepared to attack unprepared, they marked the direction of advance on the rugged roads in the mountains with people playing signal lights, took advantage of the characteristics of the rapid maneuver of the dragoons, rushed more than 100 miles of mountain roads in the middle of the night, appeared outside Nanzhao City in the early morning, and then launched a fierce attack on the unprepared Nanzhao City.
Taking advantage of the dark night, Song Hufeng played a wave, the dragoons rode their war horses and rushed straight to the city, risking being attacked by the defenders of the city, directly under the city wall to assemble and form a formation, and then quickly set up a cloud ladder, under the leadership of Song Hufeng and Dian Wei, the heavy infantry of the Iron Army rushed to the head of Nanzhao City.
The unprepared Cao army also resisted stubbornly, but was still captured by the iron army in one fell swoop, and then the iron army opened the city gate, giving full play to the player's flexibility, using small groups of cavalry to charge back and forth on the streets of the city, blocking the enemy's assembly and support, and soon occupied half of the city.
Zhang Xun panicked, but did not dare to withdraw, for fear of being punished by Cao Cao, he could only lead the remnants of the army to fight in the streets of the city, but unfortunately, street fighting is really a tactic that tests kung fu, especially in terms of grassroots command and information transmission, if there is no long-term training, in fact, it is difficult to fight street battles.
In this regard, the gap between Zhang Xun and the Iron Army was huge, and Cao Jun, who was fighting separately, and some players who were fighting in a panic were quickly bulldozed by the Iron Army's well-trained tactical team.
Zhang Xun finally squeezed the iron army out of Nanzhao City, and seeing that the battle situation was irreparable, Zhang Xun had to lead hundreds of remnants of the army to flee to Pheasant County.
Cao Cao was taken aback when he received Zhang Xun's urgent report, he didn't expect Yuan Shao to have this killing move, this time it was too unexpected, and there was a huge loophole in the deployment in the northern part of Nanyang County.
The iron army was unforgiving, after a short rest, immediately chased to Pheasant County, there were not many defenders in Pheasant County at all, although under the command of Zhang Xun slightly resisted, but soon lost, and then the iron army turned its spear and attacked to the east to Luyang, the bridge stationed in Luyang was attacked by Pan Feng and the Iron Army before and after, and Luyang could not hold it
Cao Cao, who was in Dingling, was in a terrible mood, and he couldn't imagine that he was full of confidence and wanted to let Yuan Shao hit his head and break the blood flow in Dingling, but he was put on a scene by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao, this guy. It's really not to be underestimated.
"My lord, the plan for today is to strictly guard Ye County and Wan County, and then plan a counterattack. In addition, if Luyang's bridge can be evacuated, evacuate as soon as possible, if not, then wait for help, it's just "
What Li Jin didn't say Cao Cao knew, he was afraid that the rescue troops would be ambushed by the enemy, whether it was from Yexian to Luyang, or from Pheasant County to Luyang. The roads are not so easy to follow, and the complex terrain is likely to be ambushed by enemy troops, not to mention. The mobility of the Iron Army is very strong, and it is indeed very risky to fight a movement war with the Iron Army in such a complex terrain.
Cao Cao nodded in understanding, frowning and thinking. The situation at hand is not good. But it's not bad to accept, the fall of Luyang will indeed expose the defense line, but as long as Ye County and Wan County are blocked, the situation can still be maintained, but to hold Ye County and Wan County, it is inevitable to transfer troops, and even from the direction of Dingling, which makes Cao Cao a little embarrassed.
Xi Zhicai saw Cao Cao hesitate and was silent. Then he asked, "What is the concern of the lord?" ”
Cao Cao exhaled and said, "Dingling!" If troops are transferred from Dingling to counterattack Luyang, the situation in Dingling may be unfavorable. If they don't fight back and let Tiejun and Zhang Jaw calmly lay out, they will definitely suppress Yexian and Wanxian in turn.
"Lord, why don't you let Ji Ling, who is stationed in Ye County, go north to meet the enemy?"
"Ji Ling goes north, isn't Ye County relatively empty? In case the Iron Army attacks Ye County again"
Li Jin's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but interrupt Cao Cao's words excitedly: "Lord, this plan is feasible, even if General Ji Ling leaves Ye County and goes north, Ye County is not unmanned, the reason why Nanzhao was quickly captured is because the enemy army was taken by surprise, and now the battlefield situation is clear, even if the Iron Army attacks Ye County, it is impossible to go down with a drum, as long as the Iron Army does not attack effectively, it may be surrounded by us on all sides, so the Iron Army will not dare to risk going south to attack Ye County, he must first defeat General Ji Ling who is going north1
Cao Cao was not angry when Li Jin interrupted him, he thought about Li Jin's explanation carefully, looked at Xi Zhicai and said, "Zhicai, what if the Iron Army attacks Wanxian?" ”
"Then let him fight, the kind of city in Wanxian County, how can it be captured by 20,000 people of the Iron Army, if there is the slightest mistake, the generals defending the city should be pulled down and beheaded1
Cao Cao's eyebrows stretched slightly, and he nodded: "That's true, this strategy is feasible, I plan to order, order Ji Lingbu to ride 50,000 to the north to meet the enemy, be sure to defeat the Iron Army to rescue Luyang Qiaorui, and make Qiaorui Department stick to wait for help, just say that Ji Ling's reinforcements will arrive soon." In addition, a mission was issued to the Yiren to detect and clear the enemy infiltration forces in the northern part of Nanyang County. p> "No1 Yan Xiang replied as he waved his pen on the scroll on the table, and quickly wrote down the order
The Tie Army, which was rushing to Luyang, received the news that Ji Ling had set off from Ye County to the north as soon as possible, and he didn't expect Cao Jun's reaction to be so fast and so resolute.
"Head, are we going east to Luyang or south to meet Ji Ling?"
Song Hufeng looked at the map, quickly calculated, shook his head and sighed: "Cao Cao really reacted quickly, when ordinary people are attacked by a sudden attack and the enemy breaks their predetermined strategy, they will adopt a relatively conservative strategy, and only after a little stability will they decide to advance and retreat, I didn't expect Cao Cao to send troops to rescue Lu Yang without hesitation1."
"Well, should we die and not be saved? Tiger head, don't care what Cao Cao thinks, now is it time to beat Ji Ling? ”
"Fight, we must fight, and we must fight, if we don't defeat Ji Ling, we can't attack Lu Yang with confidence."
"Can't we divide our forces to contain Ji Ling, or simply bypass Ji Ling to attack the relatively empty Ye County?"
"Bypassing the Clever is definitely sending us to death, Cao Cao wishes we were like this! As for dividing the troops and containing, this is a good way, the question is, can we use less troops to contain Ji Ling's 30,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry, what are your good ideas? ”
"Do you want to ask the military advisor?"
"What about the military advisor? Why is it missing? ”
"Brother, are you looking for me?"
A crisp voice sounded from a large tree not far away, and everyone looked up to see a beautiful girl sitting on a branch munching on a fruit. To be continued...
