Chapter 45: Riding the Hunt

The flowers bloom two and each show a branch, and it is said that Bocai Peng Tuo fought and retreated in Runan, and all the way to retreat to Xihua City, a fortified city in Runan, and also built a large camp outside Xihua City, and at the same time guarded the four counties of Yinqiang, Zhaoling, Zhengqiang, and Ruyang, thinking that it was a horn. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Several cities are not far away, faintly protecting Xihua County in the middle, and if you want to break through Xihua County, you will inevitably be attacked by the garrisons of several other counties.

Let's say that after Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, as well as Cao Cao won a complete victory, they pursued Bocai Yitong, and saw that they could no longer make meritorious contributions, so they collected their troops and returned to Yingchuan to rest, while inspecting and seizing, while rectifying the grain and grass materials, and preparing for the expedition to Xihua Pengtuo.

At this time, the three of them joined forces, and there were about 5,000 in total. However, the real aboriginal elite is only 15 million, and the rest are all players.

And the Runan Yellow Turban Army also has more than 15 million, plus the recruits who have been recruited one after another, and there are as many as one million Yellow Turban soldiers who have fled from all over the place, adding up to 16 million elites. But at this moment, there are not many players standing in the yellow scarf, and there are more than 500 thousand.

On the surface, the imperial court is still 50 million vs 21 million against the Yellow Turban Army, and there is a huge disparity in strength. But there is a cloud in the art of war: ten sieges in siege warfare, five sieges, and multiple battles.

The imperial army can only be counted as double the Yellow Turban Army, and the double is a battle, and it cannot directly attack the city, otherwise it will definitely suffer. What's more, although there is a huge gap in the number of the two, the strength of the two is almost the same.

Therefore, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Cao Cao naturally understood their gap, and they still had to plan and plan. After all, marching and fighting, one careless, and the annihilation of the whole army is just a matter of a thought!

At the beginning, Bo Cai's soldiers were strong and strong, relying on the strong to bully the weak, besieging Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, but were they defeated the strong with the weak and fled?

Several people rested in Yingchuan for more than ten days, and the food, grass, tents, etc. had already been prepared, and the situation in the army of Bocai and Peng Tuo had already been carefully investigated, and information was formed, which was collected on the desk of Huangfu Song and others.

In the big tent of the Chinese army in Huangfu Song, there is a huge sand table, on which all the mountains and rivers, roads, villages, streams and swamps, etc., are clear at a glance, and there are also various places where the Yellow Turban Army camped, the number of troops, the ability of the generals, and so on, all of which are clear and understandable.

This sand table is naturally the player's masterpiece, and there are naturally masters of making sand tables among the players. However, in order to draw this sand table, in the absence of current mapping tools, players had to refer to modern maps, plus actual measurements, and it took several months to complete it.

In other words, this sand table has actually been prepared for a long time. Speaking of which, although the map in the game is based on modern maps, but after all, it has increased by 1000 times, and mountains, rivers, etc. cannot all increase dozens of times, take the mountains as an example, the original 100-meter high mountains, the march can easily pass, but the 3000-meter high mountains, it will be difficult to pass!

When Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Cao Cao saw the sand table, they were shocked, and compared them with the marching map, and there was almost no discrepancy. This is definitely the first time they've seen this thing, and it's a 3D version of the marching map! With this thing, it will definitely have a subversive effect on future wars!

Several people are veterans of marching and fighting, and Cao Cao is a generation of talents, knowing the importance of this gadget, they are secretly thinking in their hearts, preparing to find the person who makes the sand table and put it under their own accounts.

On the same day, Huangfu Song raised his account and said: "Gongwei (Zhu Junzi), Meng De, our army is ready, and we can send troops to Runan tomorrow." It's just that the yellow turban thief is a hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen, although it is newly defeated, but its strength still exists. If you go, there will be a stalemate, and you can decide the victory without a battle! ”

"Brother Yizhen (Huangfu Songzi), fighting against the Yellow Turban Thief is not a day's work, and I can't be in a hurry! There are also capable people in the Yellow Turban Army, and if these thieves occupy each city, I should defeat them all. However, now they take Xihua as the center, occupy the surrounding four cities, and each other is a horn, and in the dangerous places, each set up a camp, and if they enter, they can save the siege of each city, and if they retreat, they will threaten the rear of our army, which is indeed a headache! ”

Zhu Jun is also a general, so he will naturally not be blindly confident.

"Haha! Don't worry too much about the two lieutenant generals! Now, the Yellow Turban Army has been eradicated everywhere, and only sporadic sparks remain. In the entire Yuzhou, there are only Yellow Turban thieves in Runan. Our army is not necessarily much stronger than the Yellow Turban Army, but we have more soldiers.

As long as camps are also set up in dangerous places in various places, and the gates of various places in Runan are firmly guarded to prevent the Yellow Turban thieves from obtaining grain and grass. There is a court behind our army, and there will naturally be no shortage of money and grain, but it really can't be done, and you can still collect grain on the spot, so you don't have to worry about the problem of grain roads. ”

It was Cao Cao who spoke, and at this moment Cao Cao was still a white-faced gangster, a little immature. Then he said:

"In this way, we don't have to attack, and the Yellow Turban Army will be defeated with food shortages. As long as they hold fast to the city, they will be short of food. If you want to break through, then you can hit the right shot, and we can chase it! ”

"Meng De is right! It's a pity, although this plan is very good, but I'm afraid the court can't afford to wait! Now, the three brothers of Jizhou Zhangjiao are still here, if they don't fight quickly, they will definitely have a lot of dreams at night! On the battlefield of Guangzong, only Lu Zhi led the five soldiers of the Northern Army to confront the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, and he urgently needed our support! ”

"General Zuo Zhonglang, I am willing to lead 1 million elite soldiers as the vanguard and take Xihua City directly. Liang Bocai is just a general of the defeated army, and Peng Tuo is a bird with a frightened bow, so why be afraid? ”

Everyone took a closer look and found that this person had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a Chinese face, a darker complexion, an extraordinary appearance, and a burly figure. It turned out that this person was Sun Jian, the founder of the later Wu State.

Speaking of which, Sun Jian was originally a descendant of Sun Wu, a military strategist in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he was a born military strategist, and he almost passed down his blood to fight wars.

Since the age of seventeen, Sun Jian has been able to use strategy and courage to hunt down pirates, and his reputation has spread far and wide. Then he went around to quell the thieves and made great achievements, known as the Jiangdong Tiger, and he was by no means a wasted name!

At this moment, Sun Jian has entered the age of establishment, and he is even more heroic and steady, and now he is under the orders of Zhu Jun, the right middle lang. Therefore, as soon as Sun Jian spoke out and asked to be a pioneer, the other generals did not dare to fight for this vanguard officer.

"Good! With our Jiangdong tigers here, why worry about the yellow scarf not being extinguished! ”

The generals discussed other matters, and it was not until dark that they feasted and prepared to go out the next day.

Let's say that there was nothing to do overnight, and the next day, the three troops outside the battalion were assembled. Huangfu Song and the other three climbed to the general platform to review the three armies. Then, Huangfu Song pulled out an arrow:

"Jiangdong Tiger Sun Wentai listens to orders!"

"Here!" Sun Jian knelt down on one knee under the stage and shouted violently.

"I order you to be the vanguard of the three armies, lead 1 million cavalry, open roads in the mountains, and build bridges in the water, there must be no mistakes!" After speaking, he dropped an arrow.

Sun Jian picked up the arrow and said, "Sun Jian takes the order!" Then he got up and went to his troops.

Huangfu Song then issued an order, and the generals in the audience came out one by one.

Of course, these Huangfu Song are also prepared with two hands, one is to attack, and the other is to send all the player forces who came to take refuge to a pass, defend all the passes and dangerous places, and prepare to besiege the Yellow Turban Army in case of discord.

Speaking of which, the player forces that come to take refuge are all joined in the form of friendly forces, in principle, in fact, Huang Fu Song does not have the right to command them, but nominally Huang Fu Song can still dispatch them.

As for them, if they don't listen, Huangfu Song has no choice.

In the end, Huangfu Song took out two arrows and handed them to Zhu Jun and Cao Cao beside him respectively, and said:

"Gongwei and Meng De, we should work together in this battle to eliminate this great harm for the imperial court! Otherwise, the majesty of the imperial court will be damaged even more! ”

The two received orders not to mention it.

Let's say that Sun Jian led the army out of Yingchuan, crossed the border of Yangzhai County all the way, and advanced along Yingshui to Linying. Yangzhai is about 3,000 miles away from Linying, passing through Yingyang and Yingyin on the way. Sun Jian traveled non-stop, day and night, traveling thousands of miles a day, but in three or five days, the army arrived at Linying. During this period, supplies were collected on the spot in Yingyang and Yingyin.

These two cities have been recovered by the imperial army when they were chasing the Yellow Turbans. However, because there is no danger to defend, there are not many garrisons here!

The army rested for half a day in Linying, and then moved forward to the junction of Yingchuan and Runan. At this time, there was no Yellow Turban Army in the large group of Runan Territory, but there were indeed quite a few Yellow Turban Army in small shares.

Sun Jian explored the road all the way, while returning the information he had explored. And the main force led by Huangfu Song is two or three days away from his people.

Sun Jian saw that the army was not far away, so he told Huangfu Song that he was preparing to raid the city of Yinqiang tomorrow. The distance between Yinqiang City and Linying is only 600-700 miles, and if you force the army, you can reach it overnight. Therefore, there are objective conditions for a raid on a strong city.

Of course, once Sun Jian's plan to raid the Hidden Qiang City was executed, it didn't take long for the player to be carefully scouted and learned. These players informed the defenders of the Hidden Strong City, but unfortunately the Yellow Turban general was very slow to react, even if he knew the news, he was so-so in terms of defensive arrangements, and he didn't even report it to the garrison near the camp.

There are also 1 million defenders in this hidden strong city, and there is a yellow turban camp in the southwest and south directions of the city, more than 300 miles away, and there are 1 million garrisons in it.

If the intelligence is reported in advance, this hidden strong city will not be easy to break! However, the generals defending the city were not sure of the authenticity of this information, so they did not report it. Speaking of which, players are still not trusted!

When Sun Jian's army was still 50 miles away from the city, Yinqiang City received definite news that a large army had come to attack the city, and hurriedly sent people to report to the defenders of the two camps, as well as other cities.

But Sun Jian's cavalry assault was too fast, and the distance of 50 miles was only less than half an hour. At the bottom of the city, Sun Jian's cavalry circled the city and led the defenders on the city walls around.
