Fei Zhan didn't know much about the mountains and terrain of Bingzhou, and when he heard Xu He praise Guan Yu like this, he was a little jealous in his heart.

But the successful experience of the Mountain King and the Earth Emperor for many years made him think that even if Guan Yu could fight, he would not be able to eliminate him, and he didn't think that Guan Yu had much ability to uproot their business for so many years.

has been operating in Danyang County for so many years, Fei Zhan can pat his chest and say that no one understands Danyang better than him.

He knows the mountain roads, the resources, the water, and everything here.

And Guan Yu didn't understand.

"And the state is the state, Yangzhou is Yangzhou, this is Danyang, is our ancestral land, how can he Guan Yu fight, in the face of our every mountain must be guarded, every mountain road must set up an ambush, what can we do?

Yes, they have many soldiers who can fight, but the mountain road is rugged, no matter how many soldiers they have, the road is so wide, the army can't come over, we can't pass, we are different, they can't come, we are familiar with the mountain road, we can walk, and when they get lost in the mountains, we will suddenly kill them and give them a good look, isn't this good? ”

Fei Zhan said, Xu He did not disagree, because Danyang County's geographical advantage is indeed very large, and many previous encirclement and suppression by the official army failed because of this reason.

It is precisely because of this reason that Xu He, Sima Ju and others decided to stay here instead of continuing to flee south.

They also don't think that Guan Yu can win completely, and the worst case is that the two sides will fight in a stalemate in the Danyang Mountains, enter a state of confrontation, and begin to fight for attrition.

The consumption of the Han army is difficult to replenish from the local area, and the military consumption of tens of thousands of people is too large to be supported locally, so it needs to be transferred from other places, so the military cost has greatly increased.

Can Liu Bei afford to fight a war of attrition?

After having a little confidence, the Yellow Turban Army and the Fei Zhan Group made a decision to resolutely resist this matter, never surrender, never admit defeat, and resolutely resist until complete victory.

Although Guan Yu is strong, they don't think they have no chance of winning.

Indeed, as they said, after personally inspecting the battlefield terrain, Guan Yu's idea of using the previous tactics in this battle changed, and he believed that the Danyang Mountains were not suitable for joint operations of large corps, and were suitable for interspersed operations of small units.

However, under the premise of not being familiar with the terrain and lacking reliable guides, it is very dangerous to rush into a fragmented battle, and it is likely to cause a large number of casualties in the army.

The young player Wei Yan came up with some ideas.

"If the whole army goes deep into the mountains and forests to fight, the enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light, which is very unwise, but if we do the opposite and lead the thieves out of the mountains and forests to fight, we will also be able to give full play to the advantages of our army."

"How easy is it to say?"

Guan Yu looked at the young Wei Yan and said with a smile: "Do you have any way?" ”

"Why don't you fight first, and then feign a rout, so as to attract the thief army to pursue?"

Wei Yan said loudly: "If the general agrees, Yan is willing to lead the army on a mission!" ”

"This can't be done, the danger is too great, but the effect is not necessarily good, the other party also has a lot of combat experience, not a simple thief."

Guan Yu shook his head.

Although he rejected Wei Yan's opinion, Guan Yu really liked Wei Yan, and always felt that he could see his appearance from Wei Yan more than ten years ago.

But time has passed, Guan Yu has become the general of Zhennan, and the person in charge of a large military region has tens of thousands of lives on his shoulders, and he has long had no possibility of doing whatever he wants.

However, following Liu Bei, in addition to learning the art of war and the art of battle formation, he also really learned some arrogant style.

Because Liu Bei can make money, and the economic foundation is very solid, so there is a heroic wind in the marching campaign, and he likes to use a lot of equipment to increase the probability of winning and reduce casualties.

Quite arrogant.

Guan Yu still remembered that when he fought in the state before, considering the necessity of mountain warfare, Liu Bei equipped them with a lot of fierce fire oil tanks, and also specially improved the trebuchet, and made a smaller throwing machine specially used to throw fierce fire oil tanks.

Liu Bei's meaning is that when you encounter a relatively high place, don't always fight blindly, it's better to throw the fierce fire oil tank in a safe place, let the fire burn recklessly, let people scream recklessly, and when the fire is over, the people are gone, and then go to occupy the open space, isn't it?

Anyway, most military buildings are made of wood, and as long as it doesn't rain, they can burn with a fierce fire tank.

When marching and fighting, we must be good at using the power of water and fire, and we must be good at using the power of things outside our bodies.

It's true that these weapons cost a lot of money, but it's also true that skilled veterans are worth far more than these things outside of their bodies.

Guan Yu remembered Liu Bei's instructions to him, so he had a plan in his heart.

The mountains in Danyang area are not so much mountains, but rather a piece of relatively low hills, compared with the steep mountains of the Taihang Mountains, the hills of Danyang appear to be more low, the slope is relatively gentle, and the difficulty of climbing is not very great.

As a result, there will be more places to farm, more people to feed, and more places to build settlements and military fortifications.

Guan Yu followed Lengshui all the way south, and at a position more than twenty miles northwest of Qianxian County, he began to encounter the defense facilities of the Yellow Turban Army and the Shanyue Group.

They relied on the low hills to build defenses and condescendingly blocked the narrow mountain roads, so that Guan Yu's army had no choice - only to attack these defenses and lift the blockade of the mountain roads, otherwise the army would not be able to pass through at all.

At this moment, Guan Yu did not order the whole army to launch a general attack, but let the technical arms set up a throwing machine, ignite the fierce fire oil canister, and slowly advance to the launch position, and shoot at the Yellow Turban Army's defense facilities on the hills.

It is normal for heavy rain to fall from the sky, and it is normal for heavy snow to fall from the sky, and occasionally there are some strong convective weather, hail from the sky, and people in this place have not seen it.

But when it rains fire, I've never seen it.

Huge fireballs fell from the sky, smashed on the ground, doors, houses, military installations, and then burst into flames, and the wild flames soon engulfed the original wooden structure.

It had snowed heavily before, and the weather was sunny for a while, Guan Yu specially chose this sunny day, and under the light of the warm winter sun, he launched his own military operation.

The technical soldiers wildly threw the burning canisters of fire, which kept falling on the hills, falling in the defenses of the Yellow Turbans, the fire was blazing, and it was very strange that it was difficult to extinguish with water.

The Yellow Turbans in the facility did not give up resistance at the beginning, but tried to resist for a while, and tried to extinguish the fire with water under the command of the officer, but with little success, and the burning buildings were not extinguished by the water, but burned more and more.

Even the woods were burning, and the smoke rose so thick that the smokers couldn't keep their eyes open, coughed loudly, and ran around just hoping for a breath of fresh air.

In the end, the more than 1,000 Yellow Turban troops in the defense facilities could not hold on, and after paying the price of hundreds of people being burned to death and burned, they chose to break through.

But a group of men and horses under the command of Wei Yan were already waiting for them at the foot of the mountain, and the Han army formed a formation, ready for battle, facing the Yellow Turban Army that broke through, and fired thousands of arrows.

The breakthrough of the Yellow Turban Army was doomed to failure.

In this way, a hill was conquered by Guan Yu in less than a day.

Guan Yu tasted the sweetness, and the Han army also tasted the sweetness, and they felt that they had found a good way to deal with the Yellow Turban Army.

That is to burn, keep burning, all the way forward, all the way to burn, burn him in the dark, shake the mountains.

So Guan Yu marched into the army and went to Luoyang at the same time, asking Luoyang to allocate more fierce fire oil tanks to the Jiangnan battlefield, which may also help to completely solve the Shanyue thief rebellion in the future.
