Chapter Seventy-Nine: Multi-Point Attack, Divide the Army, and Break the River

Two days later, the 280,000 troops rushed to the tiger's mouth, but did not enter the tiger's mouth, but after a short rest, they went directly south. Yuefeng chooses a lot with a slightly higher terrain and a slightly narrower width. There were no people in that place, and there were no names. Yue Feng is directly referred to as the tiger's mouth.

Yue Feng ordered an army of 200,000 infantry to camp three miles away on the north bank of the Yellow River, 50,000 siege troops to prepare materials, and 30,000 cavalry to defend it. The mighty camp stretched for five miles.

Yu Ji once again mastered the spy, assisted by Diao Chan. Gathering the news, Nanhuzhou and Wuzhou have gathered a total of 120,000 infantry, and 120,000 naval troops are waiting on the southern front. Moreover, according to secret reports, Bai Qi and Zhou Yu were in charge of the infantry and navy, and Sun Wu also arrived urgently.

There is also a heaven and earth team in the middle of nowhere, the river is narrow, and the pontoon bridge is completely unbridged. Although the river is wide, with the existing strength, if there is no interference in three hours, it can exceed 30,000 people. Yue Feng directly collapsed, an hour, is two hours. Now Zhou Yu has been very arrogant with a large number of warships to swim back and forth in front of his camp, and the number of sailors is only 50,000, and I believe that the remaining 70,000 sailors are in addition to 30,000 or 40,000 to blockade Haikou and defend against the wind and go directly south in the sea, and three or five thousand teams are wandering back and forth.

Wu's military ship, the performance has long been heard, slightly better than the wind. If there are ten teams of wanderers, and then there are infantry stationed along the line, even if it is thousands of miles long, let alone give yourself three hours, I am afraid that the bridge has just been built, and the other party has already rushed over, that is, it is dozens of miles slower, and it will be there in two hours, and if it goes down the wind, maybe you will have less time for yourself. And he knew that those places could cross the river, and Wu Jun knew even more. Maybe he's waiting for him five miles away!

Yue Feng instantly has a big head like a fight, it is really a natural danger, if there are millions of troops, you can also use civilian ships to force the crossing, if this force is now, it will be difficult.

Two days later, Yue Feng and the generals painstakingly analyzed the map along the Yangtze River. Finally, Yue Feng said: "Wu has the convenience of water, can retreat from the enemy, and can transport troops." Now I am 300 miles west to the border wilderness, 500 miles to the south of Binhai County in the east, and more than 200 miles from the coast to the sea. My idea is to use catapults to cut off the possibility of Wu Shui's army moving, divide it into four sections, ignore all the left side, intercept and harass the central part, and completely destroy the western part or drive it to the middle two sections. Moreover, this truncation must not be too much, otherwise Wu only needs to transport troops across the river and gather troops to destroy it, and our battle line is too long, and it will be difficult to defend. ”

Yue Feng pointed to the land of a hundred miles west of the tiger's mouth and said: "The terrain on both sides of this place is more than ten zhang high, and the mountains and rivers are narrow, only a hundred zhang wide. With a high shooting distance, we can reach a range of 60 zhang, and it is estimated that the river of 100 zhang will be almost sad once it is blocked. Once the blockade of the west side of the naval army will not be too much, support 10,000 death, we did not prevent it from leading 60,000 or 70,000 troops to come over to surround and kill, be sure, look at the surrounding 100 miles, once there are soldiers attacking, directly defend the formation. The Tongzhou Mansion has about 50,000 troops, so you just need to wait for the rescue of the Tongzhou Mansion. Solemnly, Diao Chan, you take 30,000 infantry, 10,000 siege vehicles, and 5,000 cavalry, set off in three days, arrive within one day, occupy this place, establish defenses, the river does not need to be controlled too long, fifty zhang is enough, and the rest of the carts are around the camp to defend. By the way, the cavalry is in a team of 1,000 people, and let the deputy generals take turns to check if there are any generals. ”

The solemn Diao Chan said: "Command!"

Yue Feng pointed to the east two hundred miles and said: "This place is also such a slope, but the terrain is more than 20 zhang high, and the river is 120 zhang wide. Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, you take 50,000 steps, 10,000 siege cities, and 5,000 cavalry to garrison this place. Depart in a day's time. Except for the cavalry, which needs to help defend all places, the others are the same and solemn!"

Dian Wei Zhang Liao said: "Command!"

Yue Feng pointed to the fifty places to the east of Binhai County, and said, "This place is the place to annihilate the Western Water Army. The terrain here is wide and flat, and the river is only 100 zhang long. Our catapults can only reach sixty feet, or more. But we first sent 20,000 troops to the coast to build a camp, secretly accumulate earth and rocks, and raise the ground. Although it could not reach a height of ten zhang, we transferred a large army after the blockade, and the Xihaikou naval army must come to defend in order to prevent us from crossing the river. If there is a decisive battle, the opponent will be destroyed. If the other party escapes, a large army will be blocked by ten zhang of earth. After that, Pang Tong went east, and our army crossed the river by boat and attacked Wu Guojing's division. ”

"This timing must be mastered, when the army reaches the coast, the two sections around the tiger's mouth must be blocked at the same time, and then the army will launch a fierce attack in the west, and then Pang Tong will enter the river, otherwise we will not be able to defeat the 30,000 or 40,000 navy. ”

"According to my estimates, Ma Chao today will take 20,000 cavalry to the coast in the first month, and first go to camp to meet the coastal soldiers. It took about five days for the infantry to arrive, and Guo Jia and I set off three days later, with 60,000 steps and 20,000 sieges under my own leadership. That's 80,000 steps together. There were 60,000 steps left, and 10,000 sieges were left in the camp by Xiang Yu Yuji. Our large battalion is also heavily used, often pretending to force the river, after the large battalion to choose an easy to defend and difficult to attack place, not more than 50 miles apart, put 10,000 infantry in it, 5,000 siege troops. Your scouts and cavalry must not only be able to explore the Yangtze River at all times, but also know the movements of your northern circle for hundreds of miles, so as not to be surrounded. As long as we form a foregone conclusion within 10 days, then the state of Wu will be destroyed, if the state of Wu forcibly gathers by land and water within 10 days, and concentrates more than 100,000 troops to attack a certain place, as long as a certain place is broken, it will be difficult to carry out today's plan, and everyone must also act at the opportunity. ”

The generals were ordered to leave. Everyone knows that this battle really depends on everyone, no matter which link is broken, it is a fantasy to break through the Wu State. The trio of Yue Feng Guo Jia and Green Butterfly stayed again. Guo Jia said: "There are too many variables, and it may be difficult to achieve things. ”

Yue Feng said: "These are all tests. Even if we lose a large number of troops, such as 100,000, in fact, there are still 100,000 troops in Tongzhou. Tongzhou, which has a total of more than 400,000 yuan, is more than half of the loss, and Wu is absolutely unable to go on a northern expedition. ”

Guo Jia smiled and said: "The strategy is a good plan, but how can the other party be stupid, if I am Zhou Yu, I will leave 30,000 sailors in each section cleanly, so that our Pang Tong's army can eliminate at most one share." Even if Pang Tong's ship goes south, they can draw troops from Tiannan and send troops from Beijing, and we don't have enough people to see it. Even Bai Qi directly left 30,000 or 20,000, and together with the navy, he didn't let us cross the river. In that case, the remaining 450,000 and 50,000 or 60,000 in Wubei, and the 100,000 people who are short of supplies for us to cross the river, are still despised. ”

Yue Feng said: "I know, this plan is also like this. Just now I just said that if I occupy a certain section of the river, I will firmly control this section of the river. In the coming year, the power of the Northern Seven Prefectures can be dispatched to cross the river and destroy the Wu State again. It's up to Zhou Yu to deal with it. ”

The three of them knew that the matter had come to this, and it was up to both sides to respond. Thousands of miles of front, generals play freely!
