Chapter 545: Street Pavilion Garrison Anticipate the enemy first
When Liu Feng led more than 10,000 Han troops to arrive at the street pavilion, even if he had already learned about some of the topography of the street pavilion from the mouths of the locals, he couldn't help frowning after really seeing the topography of the street pavilion with his own eyes.
I saw that from Liu Feng's perspective, the north and south sides of the street pavilion where he was located were surrounded by high mountains, and only a road several miles wide was left in the east-west direction.
According to common sense, there are lofty mountains and mountains on the north and south sides as natural shelters, and the street pavilion should be regarded as a rare place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
It's like a mountain path hidden in the mountains outside the Sword Pavilion.
Kejie Pavilion is different from Sword Pavilion, the mountain roads outside Sword Pavilion are mostly narrow and rugged, and it is difficult for a large army to march or even launch an attack under such circumstances.
However, although the road of the street pavilion also has rough twists and turns, there is a flat area that is several miles wide in one section.
That flat area is the choke point of the entire street pavilion.
Liu Feng, who stood on the high mountain, soon overlooked the landform of the entire street pavilion.
And it was only when he saw the flat and wide area that he couldn't help but frown.
If the road in Jieting was as narrow as the Sword Pavilion Mountain Road, he could easily block the Wei army outside Jieting by going down to the village on the road.
As long as the supply of grain and grass is endless, he can keep the Wei army blocked.
However, the topography of the street pavilion has a wide area.
If you want to successfully intercept the Wei army and prevent them from crossing the street pavilion, that wide area is a battleground.
However, due to the flatness and breadth of the terrain, if the Han army went down in that place, the geographical advantage would be minimized.
Most importantly, in order to successfully hold back the Wei army on a key road several miles wide, the Han army must build a camp that will be expanded horizontally with the terrain.
There can't be a loophole left for the Wei army to take advantage of.
If you have enough troops, it doesn't hurt at all. But the number of troops in Liu Feng's hands is currently no more than 10,000.
With an army of more than 10,000 people, it is no longer an easy task to build a large camp that spans several miles and is impregnable.
What's more, in this large camp that stretches for several miles, the forces are scattered everywhere to block the onslaught of the Wei army.
As any veteran knows that this will become more and more difficult as time goes on.
No wonder before leaving, His Majesty once said to him: "The street pavilion is easy to guard, but it is not easy to guard." ”
At that time, Liu Feng didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but after seeing the true topography of the street pavilion, he understood why Liu Bei would tell him this sentence.
also understood why Liu Bei would give him 10,000 Han troops.
Just as Liu Feng frowned and walked down the mountain, several Liangzhou generals also climbed a high mountain together and saw the whole picture of the street pavilion.
Ding Feng, Deng Ai, Zhang Wei, Jiang Wei and other four young players are either experienced or talented.
Naturally, they can also see at a glance the advantages and disadvantages brought by the topography of the street pavilion to the Han army.
After the judgment appeared in his heart, several young generals discussed it with you and me.
Ding Feng took the lead in saying: "Our army must immediately go down to the village!" ”
Ding Feng played the role of a first-attacker before and after serving Mi Yang, and the good attacker was often good at finding out the weaknesses of the defender.
In Ding Feng's view, if you want to guard the street pavilion, there is only one way to go down to the village.
As for the mountains on both sides of the street, Ding Fengzheng didn't take a look at it. Even if it is said in the book of war: "With a high view, you are invincible."
But there won't really be any fool who will give up the strategy of going down to the village and run to transfer the army to the mountains to hold on, right?
Ding Feng's words made Zhang Wei nod involuntarily. "Yes, yes."
Although Zhang Wei also saw that going down to the village was not a way to stop the Wei army once and for all.
But this is because of the terrain of the street pavilion.
Moreover, even if the terrain of the Street Pavilion is not as dangerous as that of the Sword Pavilion, it has already helped the Han army a lot.
For example, the steep mountains on both sides have become a natural barrier for the Han army in the north and south.
Without these two natural barriers, it would have been almost impossible to rely on an army of 10,000 to defend the wide streets, especially if the Wei army had cavalry.
The steep mountains of Jieting Road provided the most basic possibility for the Han army to hold on to Jieting.
In this case, there is no need to ask too much.
After all, how many natural dangers are there in the world like the Sword Pavilion?
Besides, if the street pavilion was really as dangerous as the Sword Pavilion, he thought that Wei Jun would not be stupid enough to lead the army to the street pavilion to die.
It is precisely because the terrain of the street pavilion can be defended and attacked, that the Han and Wei armies will look at this place together.
After Zhang Wei agreed with Ding Feng's speech, Deng Ai immediately made an inference:
"If the enemy is good at fighting, he will surely lead his army to attack left and right in the coming day, and our army will be exhausted."
There was solemnity in Deng Ai's tone.
Compared with Ding Feng's inference, Deng Ai's inference was more far-reaching, and he had already anticipated the tactics that Wei might adopt in the future.
And after listening to Deng Ai's inference, Ding Feng and Zhang Wei's faces couldn't help but become solemn.
What Deng Ai said was the tactic of breaking the face with points.
If the enemy general can really come up with this tactic, it will indeed be very disadvantageous for the Han army.
Under the solemn look, Zhang Wei exhaled heavily, and agreed again:
"Yes, yes."
Zhang Wei's two voices also made Ding Feng and Deng Aiqi look at him. You won't say anything but Ranye, will you?
In the face of the gaze of the two comrades, Zhang Wei lowered his head and pondered for a while, and immediately looked at Jiang Wei.
Zhang Wei's eyes were filled with inquiry.
It's as if to say: Ding Feng and Deng Ai have expressed their opinions, so what about you?
Zhang Wei had already prepared to say the third "Ranye".
When Zhang Wei looked at Jiang Wei, Ding Feng and Deng Ai also followed Zhang Wei's gaze and turned their eyes to Jiang Wei.
Suddenly, he was suddenly watched by three comrades, which made Jiang Wei a little overwhelmed.
It's not that Jiang Wei doesn't have an opinion in his heart, it's just that on the way to the street pavilion, Jiang's mother warned Jiang Wei many times, saying that he is a sensitive general, and he should not show himself too much at first.
Jiang Wei's mother's admonition Jiang Wei kept it in mind, but he did have an opinion in his heart not to vomit or be unhappy, and this contradictory psychology made Jiang Wei overwhelmed.
And Jiang Wei's bewilderment fell into the eyes of the three of them, Deng Ai first smiled contemptuously, and then turned to walk down the mountain.
Zhang Wei and Ding Feng's faces immediately showed a look of understanding.
Where will there be any real talent to learn from the people of Israel? It's that they're too demanding.
And after Deng Ai walked down the mountain, Zhang Wei and Ding Feng couldn't ask Jiang Wei anything, so they also walked down the mountain.
Watching the three comrades leave one after another, Jiang Wei could only follow them and walk down the mountain in the end.
It's just that while walking towards the bottom of the mountain, Jiang Wei turned back three times one step at a time. Jiang Wei's gaze turned his head and kept staring at the continuous mountain range. He couldn't help but have a question in his heart:
Why do we all just think about defending and replacing defense with offense, isn't it? ...
After the four young generals of Liangzhou all walked down the mountain, Liu Feng's herald arrived and summoned all four of them to him.
Liu Feng looked at the four young generals of Liangzhou who arrived, he knew what the four of them had just done.
But Liu Feng didn't care.
Liu Feng knew what Liu Bei's intention was to send Ding Feng as his deputy general, and Liu Feng did not resist this intention.
Because he himself was promoted step by step by a similar arrangement back then.
And although Liu Feng didn't like Mi Yang's previous move to sabotage him to become Liu Bei's deputy general, and he was not convinced by some aspects of Mi Yang, Liu Feng was not going to embarrass Mi Yang's subordinates.
Liu Feng, whose eyes are above the top, often doesn't invest too much spirit in people who don't care.
After glancing at the four generals in front of him, Liu Feng finally focused his gaze on Ding Feng's body.
Ding Feng is the most famous general under Mi Yang's account.
Liu Feng looked at Ding Feng and said to him: "Although the thief army has not yet arrived, the street pavilion is very important, and it will only be a month at most, and most of the thief army will definitely appear in the street pavilion."
And if you want to guard the street pavilion, you can only go down the road. ”
After saying this, Liu Feng turned around and picked up a camp layout map from the case behind him.
This map of the camp layout was drawn by Liu Feng after he returned to the big tent after exploring the terrain of the street pavilion on the spot.
Liu Feng handed over the formation map in his hand to Ding Feng, and then continued: "Since you are my deputy general, then you will be responsible for supervising the construction of the barracks." ”
Hearing Liu Feng say this, Ding Feng hurriedly took the formation diagram from Liu Feng and looked at it.
At the same time, Ding Feng and Zhang Wei beside him also looked at the details of the formation diagram drawn by Liu Feng.
After reading it, a big stone in the hearts of the four young generals of Liangzhou was quietly put down.
Between Liu Feng's bad reputation, when he just came down from the mountain, the four young generals in Liangzhou actually had a hidden worry in their hearts, that is, Liu Feng would do irrational things in order to compete for merit?
This hidden worry in the hearts of several people was quietly erased by the array diagram drawn by Liu Feng himself.
From the formation map, it can be seen that the place where Liu Feng went down to the village was the vast area of the street pavilion.
And the array diagram drawn by Liu Feng is very tight from the structural point of view. From these two points, it is enough to see that Liu Feng is indeed an experienced general.
In history, in front of Ma Tan's town guarding the street pavilion, Zhuge Liang also drew a formation map for Ma Tan, but it was a pity that .....
After roughly looking at the structure of the formation diagram, Ding Feng hugged his fists at Liu Feng and said, "The last general will not fail in his mission." ”
In the face of Ding Feng's promise, Liu Feng only glanced at it and did not respond.
In Liu Feng's opinion, he has drawn the formation diagram, and what Ding Feng has to do is a very simple thing, and he really doesn't need to say anything more.
After arranging the task for Ding Feng, Liu Feng looked at Zhang Wei on the side.
Liu Feng said to Zhang Wei: "I heard that you have a serious personality, so I will hand over the burden of transporting our army's food and grass to you." ”
Compared with the explanation of Ding Feng's mission, Liu Feng's words to Zhang Wei were very concise and to the point.
After Zhang Wei listened to Liu Feng's appointment to him, he would also accept this task willingly.
Needless to say, the importance of transporting grain and grass is not as simple as it sounds.
Even if Tianshui and Anding counties are nominally subservient to the Han Dynasty, there are still many counties in the two counties that have Cao Wei in their hearts.
In this case, it is difficult to guarantee that some Wei generals will not hide beside the official road and lead the army to attack the Han army's grain transportation team.
Even if no Wei general dares to do this at present, when the Wei army arrives, this danger is very likely.
Therefore, what Zhang Wei took over was actually the important task of protecting the Han army's grain route.
After arranging the task for Zhang Wei, Liu Feng felt that there was no more omission, so he wanted Ding Feng and a few people to go down first.
But at this moment, Deng Ai took the initiative to step forward and bow to Liu Fengyi and said:
"The general should be careful that the enemy will use the high mobility of the cavalry to carry out the tactics of breaking the face with points."
After hearing Deng Ai's words, Liu Feng's eyebrows inevitably wrinkled.
This was something he hadn't thought of before.
However, Liu Feng did not respond to Deng Ai's concerns, he just ordered Deng Ai and the four of them to retreat first.
Deng Ai saw that Liu Feng didn't seem to care about this matter, and he wanted to persuade him again, but he noticed that Liu Feng's face was not very good, so he secretly pulled Deng Ai's sleeve and pulled him out of the big tent.
After Deng Ai and the four of them left the big tent, Liu Feng thought about Deng Ai's reminder, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
Liu Feng is not Ma Yan, of course he knows whether Deng Ai's worries are justified.
But the reason why he didn't immediately respond to Deng Ai's concerns was that he didn't have a good response to this.
Compared with the besieging side, the defenders will have an advantage in geography, but there will be gains and losses in everything.
While occupying the geographical advantage, the defenders also basically gave up mobility.
It's inevitable.
So how can he prevent or counter this when there is no mobility?
Liu Feng thought about this question with great distress.
After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Feng still didn't come up with a proper strategy.
However, Liu Feng is not too worried about this.
The reason is that even if the enemy general adopts the method mentioned by Deng Ai, it will take a lot of time to capture the Han army camp with the help of this method.
And Liu Bei asked him to guard the street pavilion, just to let him block the Wei army reinforcements for a while, not to let him guard the street pavilion for a long time.
He only needs to hold out until Liu Bei captures Longxi County.
Under this strategic intent, Liu Feng chose not to worry too much about this matter for the time being.
Responding to changes with the same is the best strategy to deal with the enemy at the moment.
Deng Ai was pulled out of the big tent by Zhang Wei, and when he came to the outside of the big tent, Deng Ai looked at Zhang Wei angrily.
"Why did Boqi stop me?"
Faced with Deng Ai's question, Zhang Wei asked rhetorically: "Does Shizai have a way to deal with it?" ”
Zhang Wei's rhetorical question made Deng Ai choke.
He guessed that Wei might adopt tactics in the coming day, but in the current situation, Deng Ai really had no way to deal with it for a while.
It's just that even so, Liu Feng shouldn't be interested in this hidden danger, and he doesn't say anything about it.
"It is precisely because there is no way to deal with it at the moment that General Zhengbei should brainstorm and actively seek ways to break the enemy."
Deng Ai said it for granted.
Deng Ai's naturalness made Zhang Wei roll his eyes.
Deng Ai is a very smart person, otherwise he wouldn't have noticed this in advance, but unfortunately his emotional intelligence is really not good.
It can be seen from Liu Feng's two arrangements just now that Liu Feng is a person who likes to act arbitrarily, and what he needs is not a lieutenant general who serves him as a staff officer, but a lieutenant who faithfully executes his orders.
Liu Feng, who has such a character, how could he easily brainstorm like Deng Ai said?
Zhang Wei could only explain to Deng Ai bitterly, and then pulled Deng Ai out of Liu Feng's tent with Ding Feng.
Looking at the back of Zhang Wei and the three of them leaving, Jiang Wei's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Suddenly, he had an idea.
Since you are confused, why not ask General Yu?
Some people died, but not completely......
