Chapter 119: A Man Should Carry a Three-Foot Sword (Part I)

As early as hundreds of years ago, there was an unknown poet who traveled here, when he stood on the endless green grassland, looking at the pure world with only blue, white and green, heaven and man were combined, and his heart felt something, and then in such a state, he wrote a poem that was passed down by word of mouth, and passed down for centuries, in the poem, he described the land of Yanzhou, which is rich in water and grass, and rich in resources.

"Eilechuan, under the Yin Mountain. The sky is like a dome, covering the four wildernesses.

The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. The wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep low. ”

The vast earth, the vast sky, in this unique environment, it is not surprising to raise such a vigorous and vigorous Yanzhou man who will never admit defeat.

In the long history of the human race, Yanzhou has also had more than one owner, whether it is a native local hero, or those monarchs of the surrounding countries who have coveted the land of Yanzhou for a long time, in short, due to various reasons, the speed of Yanzhou's change of ownership is indeed beyond people's imagination.

But even if they are troubled by the war, the people of Yanzhou are like the grass in the Yanzhou grassland, rooted here from generation to generation, with perseverance, the wildfire is inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows.

In fact, if it weren't for the fertile grassland of Yanzhou, where would the hundreds of thousands of war horses of the Weijin coalition army be fed?

---------------

In fact, there is only one supply line for the Wei and Jin coalition forces, and it is not vast, and it is overwhelming with teams transporting supplies.

The war materials that the two countries of Wei and Jin had stored in advance for many years for this war would all converge at the defense line of the Qilian Mountain of the original Weiguo, that is, near the Qilian City, and finally the postmen drove the carriage out of the customs and transported it to the base camp that was now stationed on the border of Liangzhou in Liangguo.

The biggest disadvantage of the entire supply team is that it is too long, but this is also a matter of no choice, after all, the food that hundreds of thousands of troops have to eat every day is really an immeasurable astronomical amount, and to maintain this consumption, it has to spend a lot of manpower and material resources on transportation.

Fighting deep into the hinterland of the enemy, this is one of the biggest flaws, although all those who are good at fighting, must know how to take local materials, supply the team from the enemy, and reduce the pressure on logistics, but the people of Liangguo do not know whether they are born cautious, or they know that they can't fight at the beginning, so they are firmly implementing the plan of clearing the wilderness all the way, and a large number of people and materials are withdrawn into the rear earlier than the army, which also leads to the Wei Jin coalition army This side of the Qiao women are difficult to cook without rice, this battle down, the most suffered, or belong to the beast that lives in Yanzhou, along the way is the hungry Wei Jin coalition army to gnaw clean。

Of course, the impact will not be reflected until more than ten years later.

In short, if you want to fight, you must first feed the soldiers, and before the war, you can drink two meals of rice soup a day and barely survive, but once they decide to go to war, they must distribute food in advance to try to restore the soldiers to the best condition, which is actually an intelligence that can grasp the enemy's movements.

Because he didn't want to spread out the entire supply line in a big way, giving the enemy a chance to take advantage of it, so Hu Yanshi thought of a way to transport it in large quantities, and the 80,000 soldiers and horses under his command were roughly divided into eight groups, respectively, around the protection of a part of the materials to the destination, so that every group of people would directly join the base camp on the border of Liangzhou, and the materials would be delivered, and the 80,000 people would just return.

Relying on strict military orders, the scouts spread out on patrols, and sent messages back and forth every day, and the progress of the entire team was controlled by him, but whenever a piece of information came slowly, he could immediately know what was wrong, and then make arrangements immediately.

This veteran, for all aspects of logistics, is indeed well arranged, when this kind of person attacks, it may not be so terrible, but once he takes on the work of defense, it is definitely the most headache.

-----------

On the other hand, the 3,000 people personally selected by Cao Yan, after coming out of Huangsha County, rushed forward regardless of their strength, and arrived at their destination in less than two days.

This is also because Huangsha County is geographically adjacent to Yanzhou, which can be seen from Gu Xuan's first few visits to Kanmeng'an, which is indeed not far.

On the border of Yanzhou, in an extremely secluded woodland, more than a hundred people were stationed on the periphery, and everyone else was all enclosed in the open space in the center

Cao Yan was wearing a set of black light armor that would not affect his movements, but his defense was not good, and he was half-kneeling on the ground, and around him were layers of black faces.

The people in the innermost circle are also the shortest among them, all squatting around Cao Yan, and in the outer circle, they are slightly bent their legs and poking their heads, and the outermost circles are resting on their feet, trying to squeeze their heads inside.

It is to strive for everyone present to be able to see and hear what he is saying.

Ihuasha, who was specially brought out by Cao Yan, also squatted beside him, she was wearing a set of close-fitting battle skirts, from top to bottom, bumpy and convex, like a ripe peach, such a hot figure, if it weren't for wartime, I really don't know how many people would have charmed, but now, she is the deputy general of this team.

Cao Yan shook his hand, threw out a large rolled map, and after spreading it out on the ground, he directly pointed to the location of the Weiguo Qilian Mountain on the map and began to explain, not willing to delay for a minute or a second.

"I don't care if you can do it or not, but I must remember everything I say, because it is about whether or not you will return alive to receive the reward this time. ”

"First of all, we need to know the enemy's movements, they must be from here, that is, Qilian City, out of the pass, first through Kanmeng'an, and then all the way south. ”

Cao Yan took a charcoal pen and drew an extremely eye-catching line on the map, with only a few distorted lines, connecting the location of Qiliancheng and the Weijin coalition army in Liangzhou.

He said in an extremely confident tone: "You don't care why I know, in short, they will never have a second route of travel, but on this line, there are many places that can stop, I have marked them, if we want to snipe them, we can only seize their short time in the field, no, it should be said, as long as we can force them to stop, even if it is a day, it is a victory!"

If a whole batch of supplies arrives one day late, then many, many people will have to starve, so for the people on Cao Yan's side, as long as they can drag the other party back, it will be a victory, although from the bottom of Cao Yan's heart, what he asks for is far more than that, but after all, they have just brought this group of recruits, and they still need some encouragement and comfort.

Meals should be eaten one bite at a time, and the same is true for marching and fighting, setting one small goal after another, and in the process of accomplishing it, you will continue to increase your confidence, and at the same time, you can unconsciously move towards the ultimate big goal.

As for the whole route of travel, the reason why there is no need to probe is because there is no detour, and once the detour is made, the time is delayed, and the originally scheduled supplies will arrive late, and once people are hungry for a long time, it is easy to provoke mutiny.

Besides, to be honest, until now, whether it is the Weijin coalition army that is sharpening their knives on the front line, preparing to fight to the death with the people of Liangguo, or Hu Yanshi himself who is squatting in the rear and protecting the safety of the entire supply line, it is estimated that someone has already touched it from the side.

Although with the help of mayflies, the news from the desert to this side was transmitted extremely quickly, and they already knew about the rebellion of all the Rakshasa clans, but it is estimated that not many people will take it to heart.

The Rakshasa clan is extremely difficult to tame, this is a well-known thing, not that once they defect, they are really willing to die for you, where in the world is there such a simple thing, but they don't know the means of Huangsha County, and they are still using common sense to speculate on the progress of the other party, so naturally they will not worry, this is one of them.

The second is that they think that the other party does not have a general who is wise enough to fight with him, and it is impossible for Xu Jintang to pass on the defection of Lu Dengyun, Lan Yunxuan and Cao Yan together, and even if they say it, people may not take it seriously, but they are afraid that they will ridicule you Xu Jintang has no way to govern the army.

Besides, after all, you are a general of the Liang Country, and you go to lead the soldiers of the Rakshasa clan, and the languages are different, don't you need to run in?

As for the Garo Khanate, hehe, it is not a climate, and the reason why he marches so cautiously is just his personal habit of Hu Yanshi.

The patriots have confidence in Hu Yanshi, and of course Hu Yanshi also has confidence in himself, the copper wall cast by 80,000 people, where can you chisel through it.

After Ihuasha honestly translated for everyone on the side, no one dared to answer, and everyone else was staring at the map, silently thinking, remembering what the other had just said.

Anyway, long before leaving Huangsha County, this General Cao said that after that, just listen to the order, you don't need them to put forward any opinions, remember every word you have said, it is enough, if you come to kill him, he doesn't mind cleaning the door first, especially after he killed the two thorns with his own hands, the others have no idea of resisting.

Cao Yan's own heart was also extremely excited, this feeling of being on the battlefield in person, calmly commanding and dispatching, and fighting with the enemy made him feel unparalleled pleasure.

The light in his eyes was awe-inspiring, and the whole body seemed to be radiating light, and when he saw Ihuasha next to him, he couldn't help but be dazzled.

It is their instinct to worship the strong, especially when the other party is still such a handsome, man who exudes confidence all over his body, and it makes her heart feel as if there is a deer crashing.

But she hasn't forgotten her job, and she's still doing her best to translate for it.

"The first step is to clear their eyes with lightning speed. ”

Cao Yan said, and pointed to the newly drawn place on the map.

"In these places, there must be their scouts in ambush, they must be killed, the enemy has no eyes, I don't know how many of us have come, with Hu Yanshi's steady temperament, he will definitely stop first, and then go to the nearby city as soon as possible to repair. ”

The city of Yanzhou is actually not small, but after one battle after another, the damage is extremely serious, and the reserve manpower of the Wei and Jin countries is too small after all, so it is impossible to occupy a city like Da Liang back then, so he immediately transferred a group of officials to sit here, and then quickly digested these cities and turned them to his own use.

Liangguo also implemented the plan of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, most of the people of Yanzhou withdrew, the materials were taken away, and those that could not be taken away were burned on the spot, and never left a grain of rice for the enemy, which also led to these occupied cities, in addition to the overall structure is still intact, but it has almost become a ghost town, and no one is still in it, so there is no way to supply along the way through these cities.

Once they enter the city, they are dragged down.

After the analysis, Cao Yan ordered: "First divide into ten teams, each team of 100 people, go to the points I just marked, at all costs, as soon as possible to wipe out the enemy scouts, and then divide into ten teams, each team of 100 people, to explore the enemy's movements, I will lead the remaining 1,000 soldiers and horses, wait here, within two hours, you must return, now, the whole army rests on the spot, after three hours, set off immediately!"
