Chapter 1488 shows that there are fewer enemies and more guerrillas
Fang Zhiwen continued to climb step by step, the reason why Zhi Brain made this ladder so monotonous and boring is estimated to be of great significance, he may want to use this climbing time to let the climber think slowly.
Fang Zhiwen has also been accustomed to this quiet and monotonous environment, or Fang Zhiwen is originally a person who can endure loneliness, while climbing, Fang Zhiwen is thinking endlessly, he thinks about a lot of things, including everything in the past and the meaning of all this for himself, as well as his own expectations, as well as the topic of 'interesting' that Zhi Brain said, the more he thinks about it, the more Fang Zhiwen thinks that Zhi Brain's words are interesting.
No matter how long the road is, there will be a day when it will be completed, finally, the third level is already in sight, Fang Zhiwen has been guessing who the guard of the third level is, when he saw Cao Cao with Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, as well as Xu Chu, Xiahou brothers and other people standing there staring at him, he couldn't help grinning.
Sure enough, it's Cao Cao, it seems that this level will be a general battle, but I don't know how many people I can produce on my side.
"Challenger, accept our challenge 1
"Are there any rules?"
"As you can see, our generals and strategists will have 80,000 cavalry, 220,000 infantry, defending two cities the size of third-level towns, you can choose an army of no more than 22,000 cavalry, or 52,000 infantry, as well as a military division, no more than four lieutenant generals, you need to capture at least one of the two cities, the time is not limited, and the daily supply is automatically full."
20,000 against 300,000, or the attacking side. Winning a third-level town, this difficulty is really not ordinarily high, and the evaluation of Fang Zhiwen's combat power can be said to be a bit outrageous. You must know that Cao Cao's bonus to the troops is not low, and it is definitely not more than ten times the gap compared with Fang Zhiwen, not to mention that Cao Cao is still defending the city.
It's just that after Zhi Brain gave the condition that it was not limited by time, the balance of victory and defeat was flattened when the soldiers on both sides could not be replenished. Fang Zhiwen can completely choose the spirit of a small knife and a big tree, and grind Cao Cao's soldiers clean little by little.
With this option, Cao Cao, who was originally sure to win, could no longer learn to shrink into the city and not come out. If Cao Cao can't inflict effective damage on Fang Zhiwen, then defeat will befall him over time.
Therefore, Cao Cao must also take the initiative and find ways to eliminate Fang Zhiwen's troops. That's it. The battle between the two sides is just beautiful, and a battle of wits and courage is indispensable.
After thinking carefully, Fang Zhiwen chose Guo Jia as his military advisor, and then selected Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Li Yuanzhi, and Li Shehu as his deputy generals, fighting the idea of rapid movement guerrilla warfare.
The battlefield opened, and Fang Zhiwen's map was pitch black, and he didn't even give the map, so he could only explore it by himself. I don't know what the situation is on Cao Cao's side, but Cao Cao is transparent about his situation.
Come to think of it. Fang Zhiwen immediately took action and distributed his scouts around, now his location is not clear, he does not know the terrain, and he does not know what direction Cao Cao is in, so Fang Zhiwen does not dare to act rashly.
It didn't take long for the scouts to send the surrounding information, the map was opened little by little, according to the scout's report, Cao Jun really knew about his own situation, and the map was also open to them, the scouts met Cao Jun's scouts in three directions, after a little contact between the two sides, Fang Zhiwen's scouts successfully infiltrated Cao Jun's information shielding circle, and then found that the Cao army cavalry in the three directions were heavy cavalry.
"Fengxiao, what do you think?" Looking at Guo Jia, who had a solemn expression and no mood swings at all, Fang Zhiwen felt very strange.
"The intention of the enemy forces is to drive us away with heavy cavalry surveillance, to compress our space for maneuver and tactical flexibility."
Fang Zhiwen nodded, this tactic is indeed very effective, the only question now is whether the width of the battlefield is enough, whether Fang Zhiwen's troops can be interspersed with it.
The distance between the three cavalry of the Cao army is not large, and the distance between them is only about ten miles, but this gap is indeed enough for Fang Zhiwen to intersperse the past, and now Fang Zhiwen must make a decision as soon as possible before the Cao army arrives and before the map is clear.
Perhaps, the direction in which Cao Jun drove himself was a trap, or perhaps, Cao Jun's way was a trap, and once he interspersed himself, these three troops would turn around and surround themselves in one fell swoop
"Bonghyo, how do you think we should deal with it?"
"Retreat, proper retreat to keep a distance from the enemy, the enemy is much inferior to ours, and the danger of our army lies in the unfamiliarity with the environment, therefore, we must buy more time to understand the surroundings, and before that, it is not appropriate to make a major decision."
Fang Zhiwen smiled and nodded, the 'Guo Jia' thinking beside him seemed to be more rapid, but it lacked a jump, his choice was decent, but if the deity was here, Guo Jia would definitely leave an elite to try to wipe out the enemy's scouts! Battlefield blocking is also very important, and by the way, it can also take advantage of it.
"Shooting Tiger, Yuan Zhi, and Gongming, the three of you will each lead a song, and approach the cavalry of the Cao Army on the three roads respectively, and be sure to hunt down the other party's scout and reconnaissance cavalry."
"No1
"Remember, you must not engage the main enemy army, if the enemy army sends cavalry to drive away, you can retreat appropriately to attract it, and then I will send reinforcements1
"No1
"Go to 1
Fang Zhiwen's move was very bad, the pursuing Cao army was really very troubled, Fang Zhiwen's troops would definitely not stay in place, so the role of scouts was very important, but in front of the elite cavalry led by the three strong generals, it was impossible for the scout team to infiltrate the past, even if there was an occasional infiltration, it was basically impossible to come back.
Sent a cavalry team to drive away, but these heavy crossbow cavalry turned around and ran away, and Cao Jun didn't dare to chase too far, for fear that Zhongji would be ambushed, in desperation, Cao Jun simply divided the troops into several parts, and took turns to accelerate forward in pursuit, trying to bite Fang Zhiwen's tail by all means.
Fortunately, Fang Zhiwen did not rush to get out of Cao Jun's sight, after all, Fang Zhiwen didn't know if there was an ambush and trap of Cao Jun in the direction he was heading, and Fang Zhiwen's top priority was to sweep the map.
For a whole day, Fang Zhiwen ran in front and Cao Jun followed, and there was no large-scale battle between the two sides except for the occasional engagement between scout teams.
At the end of the day, Fang Zhiwen was basically able to determine a lot of things, first of all, the terrain here may be copied after the terrain of the Runan region, and the environment is not particularly complicated, but the environment of hills and plains still has many opportunities to set traps for field warfare.
In addition, the scope of the battlefield is about 100 miles away, and the direction of the city can be roughly deduced by Fang Zhiwen, but he did not see the situation of the city, from the map that has been swept, the distance between the two cities is less than 20 miles, and they are concentrated in the center of the map, and he is actually running around in a circle.
And out of the city to pursue their own only 60,000 heavy cavalry, outside the city except for the scouts distributed in all corners of the map, there seems to be no other large-scale troops, of course, Cao Cao's latent skills are very high, and the other strategists are not bad, maybe the troops are hidden somewhere, so Fang Zhiwen has been careful to avoid those areas with complex terrain.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Fang Zhiwen had to carefully choose whether to camp or continue to move. If he camps, Fang Zhiwen will bear the possibility of being quietly surrounded by Cao Jun, if he continues to fight, his vision is not good at night, if Cao Jun launches an inactive force that he did not find at this time, he is likely to successfully drive himself into the trap.
If in terms of physical strength, Fang Zhiwen's troops' physical strength is maintained quite well, plus Fang Zhiwen also has props to save physical strength and accelerate recovery, it is not impossible to continue fighting, relatively speaking, Cao Jun's physical strength is even more problematic.
After careful consideration, Fang Zhiwen decided to continue the fight, trying to throw Cao Jun away before midnight he regained his strength.
"Report! Lord, a large number of enemy scouts were found twenty miles ahead1
"Ahead? Extends reconnaissance to the left and right1
"No1
"Lord, may the enemy army have launched an ambush?" Guo Jia interjected lightly.
Fang Zhiwen asked with some confusion: "How did they estimate where we would move?" ”
"The exact position is definitely not good, but according to the way we move to avoid the dangerous places, and the intelligence of the troops chasing our army behind, it is feasible to estimate the position of our army about an hour in advance, and if we are a little bolder, it is okay to predict two hours in advance, anyway, even if it is wrong, there is no loss1
"Oh, I see, it's a bet, this is in line with Cao Cao's character."
"Yes, but the number of troops that the enemy can quickly transport cannot be very large, here is about sixty or seventy miles away from the city, even if the heavy infantry is transported by horse-drawn carriage, it is impossible to have too many at one time, perhaps, plus the troops they have ambushed in some places in advance, it is estimated that the maximum number of troops that can be assembled is only fifty or sixty thousand."
"We can choose to bypass it."
"Detour to the south, we will enter the hilly area, detour to the north, there is just a river that is not too deep, it is estimated that the other side will also be prepared, the enemy still has a cavalry that has not appeared, if the subordinates are not miscalculated, this cavalry must be behind the heavy infantry."
"Are you going to wait to block the road1
"Exactly."
Fang Zhiwen thought for a while, grinned and said, "It is worthy of Cao Cao, he can calculate the battlefield to such an extent, maybe from the beginning, his purpose is this1
"Perhaps, after all, the battlefield is transparent to him, and he can calmly arrange ambushes, in fact, if you calculate carefully, you can roughly guess where we will be at night from the beginning, so the choice of ambush points is actually very generous1
"Oh? That's right, that's supposed to be the case, just such a big map, you can guess a lot of chances, not to mention that we ran all day, enough for them to revise the plan, so we can't avoid this trap1
"I'm afraid so." To be continued...
