Chapter 656: Target-Army Group West

Using the Fire Ox Meter, Ma Tahu successfully broke through the numerous defensive positions set up by the Union Army on the border. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Seeing that the enemy's momentum was unstoppable, Chu Tiankuo gave the order for the entire army to retreat very decisively.

In the confusion, the Confederate border guards quickly withdrew from their positions, no longer fighting the fire bulls and enemy soldiers who had broken into the position.

Almost as soon as the frontier troops of the Union Army retreated on the front foot, the cavalry force of the Cao and Ma coalition troops entered their position along the safe passage opened up. Only now, they didn't see a single shadow of the enemy, and all they captured was an empty position and thousands of fire oxen still running wild in the chaos.

"Damn! What about the enemy troops?" The commander of the cavalry unit under Ma Ta Hu Chen dismounted, kicked the helmet of a Union soldier on the ground who had accidentally left behind when he retreated, and said angrily. They had lost a lot of money in the first wave of attacks, and they had lost face. I thought that I could completely annihilate the enemy army and save some face, but I didn't expect that when they were the first to rush up, they just saw such a scene.

"The enemy army is too cunning! Seeing that the situation was not good, the whole line had withdrawn to the direction of Shouchun City. The adjutant of the cavalry unit said to the commander-in-chief: "Do you want to pursue them?" The enemy's retreat is not long, and if we catch up now, it should be too late. ”

To chase, or not to chase? The commanders of the horse and Cao cavalry units thought for a while, and couldn't help but think about the traps and hidden weapons they encountered when their own troops were charging just now, which showed that the enemy on the opposite side was not ordinary cunning. The front is already not far from the enemy's base camp, Shouchun City, and if you advance further, I am afraid that you will be ambushed and surrounded by the enemy.

In the end, the cavalry commander shook his head and said to the scouts beside him: "Order the whole army, clean up the battlefield, don't go up to the group of deflated calves of the infantry behind to pick up the cheap for nothing, and don't leave a nail to them." At the same time, we immediately drew up an operational report and told Boss Ma Tahu that after a fierce battle with the enemy, we had successfully repelled the enemy, the enemy had been routed on all fronts, and we had successfully captured all the enemy's positions. ”

"Report like this?" A staff officer next to the cavalry commander who was in charge of drawing up the battle report was stunned.

"What nonsense? Tell you to write like this, how to write, hurry up. The adjutant of the cavalry commander scolded, a little annoyed by the uncleverness of this staff officer. At this time, if they really want to report according to the truth, then what credit does their entire cavalry corps have to mention?

After the Ma and Cao coalition forces successfully broke through the border area of the Huainan region, the next road was very smooth, there were no traps and fortifications, and the road was almost smooth halfway, but Ma Tahu Chen and Cao Cao noticed that this season should have sprouted, and the large oil fields on both sides of the green road were still a wasteland, and there was no greenery in sight.

"The enemy army destroyed all the seedlings sown in all the farmland in Huainan County." A scout came over to report.

Ma Ta Hu Chen and Cao Cao's faces were a little ugly.

"It seems that the enemy is preparing for a protracted battle with us." Ma Tahu Chen said to Cao Cao.

"Yes, the enemy army wants to clear the wilderness and prevent us from obtaining grain and grass from Huainan County." Cao Cao nodded.

"Eat the enemy for one minute, and be me for twenty minutes. It seems that there is no way for us to escape from the little white thorn history to get any benefit. Ma Tahu Chen said with emotion, "This Lin Xiaobai is a character." He has now become our enemy, and if we don't get rid of him immediately, I am afraid that he will become the gravedigger of our northern princes! ”

Ma Tahu Chen's words were very scheming. The first is to praise Lin Ran on the surface, but in fact, he wants to emphasize Lin Ran's threat to Cao Cao, and wants to arouse Cao Cao's attention, scruples, and hostility towards Lin Ran. After all, it is not him who has a direct conflict between the territory and Lin Ran's territory now, but Cao Cao, who occupies Yanzhou and Xuzhou.

"No gravediggers. This Shouchun City is where he Lin Xiaobai was buried. Cao Cao said very confidently.

"Good." Ma Tahu Chen couldn't see what Cao Cao was thinking at this time on the surface, but it was obvious that Cao Cao was indeed more and more determined to stand on his side, which was enough.

Under a very smooth situation, the combined forces of Ma and Cao smoothly advanced to the front of Shouchun City, stopped, and did not dare to take a step forward.

The reason is very simple, on the opposite side of them, there are also more than three million alliance troops, and the three group armies of the alliance gather inside and outside Shouchun City, distributed in a zigzag shape, with the central group army group as the leading, relying on each other and acting as each other's horns. To deal with such an enemy, it is difficult to fight the enemy army with tactics such as siege.

"The enemy is in such a formation, we must cut off their two wings before we can finally launch an attack on Shouchun City." Ma Tahu Chen analyzed.

"Although the enemy has a large number, we can concentrate our forces to deal with some of them, and send a large number of troops to surround and send reinforcements on the way through which their other troops must be reinforced, so as to consume the enemy's vital forces to the greatest extent." Ma Tahu came up with a more modern tactic.

"Reinforcements?" Cao Cao felt very unfamiliar with this tactic for the first time, and he couldn't remember that there was such a tactic in that military book. But after thinking about it carefully, Cao Cao's brows moved involuntarily.

This seems to be a good idea. You can give it a try. Cao Cao quickly agreed and supported.

"It's really nice to have a good teammate." Ma Tahu Chen sighed with emotion and immediately began to arrange.

First of all, on the surface of Ma Tahu Chen, he began to build siege equipment on a large scale, dispatched elite soldiers and horses, and put on a posture of rushing to attack Shouchun City head-on, but in secret, he had been secretly all his NPC troops, and quietly sneaked to the east of Shouchun City in the middle of the night, preparing to launch an attack on the Western Army Group of the Alliance stationed there.

Ma Tahu Chen's choice of the Western Army Group to start was quite considerate. Ma Tahu Chen knew that the combat effectiveness of the alliance's western army group was the worst among the three army groups, and it was used as a reserve, and it was not a rather powerful group in terms of combat effectiveness, morale, or anything else.

With the most elite NPC troops, you should be able to defeat the enemy's Western Army Group in a very short time, and then surround the remnants of the enemy army and strike at the reinforcements of the enemy, and the initiative of the entire battlefield will be in your own hands.
