On the border of Qin and Wei, in the camp of the Qin army

"General, let's attack the city, there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses in Taoren City, seeing that my 4,000 Qin troops dare not go out of the city to fight, the Wei general who defends the city must be incompetent, and the last general will guarantee to capture Taoren City within three days!"

"General, the same is true of Qicheng."

"General......

Yang Wengzi, who was sitting in the position of the main general, looked at the art of war in his hand indifferently, took a shallow sip of the tea on the handsome case, and stood still.

"No one is allowed to attack the city without permission until the baggage camp comes, so wait and go back to the camp."

"But...... But the general ......"

Seeing that the few people who came to ask for war looked struggling and frowned, and they didn't seem to be very willing, Yang Wengzi put down the tea cup in his hand and glanced at these people, with a terrifying coercion in his eyes.

"Before the arrival of the baggage battalion, those who dare to speak up will be killed!"

Seeing that Yang Wengzi had said this part, even if the generals were unwilling, they could only honestly return to their respective camps, but when they left the camp, they still couldn't help but complain a few words, but they were not willing to disobey Yang Wengzi's military orders.

The first and foremost rule of the Qin army's military law is to obey orders, and even if you win a battle if you don't obey the general's orders, you can only rely on merit to offset part of the guilt.

Moreover, Yang Wengzi is also one of the representatives of the Qingzhuang faction, as the son of Yang Duanhe, Zhang Ji's old department, and the only disciple of Wang Qi.

After everyone left, Yang Xiong, who had been standing behind Yang Wengzi, kicked over a table and looked at the back of the generals who were leaving: "Uncle clan, these people are not convinced by you, if you want me to say, you should pull them out and let them taste the taste of the cane." ”

Yang Wengzi waved his hand indifferently: "My record is indeed inferior to Wang Ben, and I don't allow them to attack the city, which naturally makes these people who are eager to fight dissatisfied." ”

"It's okay, let's do it, as long as it doesn't destroy my strategy, let them abuse it, and it won't be a piece of meat to scold for two sentences."

Yang Xiong couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Yang Wengzi still looked as usual.

Wang Ben, the main general, led light cavalry to raid Pingqiu City, and entrusted the remaining 40,000 troops to Yang Wengzi's hands, but apart from him, how many people knew that the specific planning of this strategy was formulated by Yang Wengzi himself?

Yang Wengzi is not a mediocre general, with the military heritage of the Huayin Yang family, as well as the teaching of his father Yang Duanhe, who is also a famous general, Yang Duanhe's military level is no worse than Meng Tian and other leaders of his generation, but he lacks some enterprising means.

And this point was made up for by Wang Qi.

Yang Wengzi, who witnessed Wang Qi annihilating the 100,000 Zhao troops under his command by interspersing with the method of intersperse, is now also a division, and what he lacks is only experience in actual combat, and after Wang Ben put forward the idea of lightly traveling behind enemy lines, Yang Wengzi formulated a specific plan.

First, he sent people to secretly explore the terrain, and then looked for similar terrain simulation practices, and calculated the time it would take for 10,000 light cavalry to arrive at Pingqiu City after a rapid march.

Two days was the most suitable time set by Yang Wengzi, but it was not the fastest speed of this 10,000 light horsemen.

The speed of these 10,000 light horsemen can be raised to another level, such as galloping 300 miles a day, but there is no need at all.

Three hundred miles a day, this is no longer a rapid march, but a forced march.

If the Qin army arrived under Pingqiu City on a forced march and did not talk about the situation of falling behind, even if no one was left behind, the cavalry and war horses would not have much physical strength left, and when the forced march was released, then it would not be a matter of a day or two to relieve themselves.

(Cao Cao took the tiger and leopard cavalry to gallop 300 miles to pursue Liu Bei one day and one night, and it was still in Jingzhou, there are many plains but also a lot of hills, and the water network is dense, and the cavalry is not so convenient to move forward, but it still achieves the limit speed of 300 miles a day, not to mention the eastern border of Wei State, which is all plains and there are no large rivers in this section)

Therefore, in view of the problems of physical strength and arrival time, Yang Wengzi formulated a two-day march time plan for Wang Ben after personal practice.

In the strategic plan formulated by Yang Wengzi, the 40,000 Qin soldiers were to set off at the same time as Wang Ben's 10,000 light cavalry, but the target of these 40,000 Qin soldiers was the eight cities of Taoren City, Guiling, Shouyuan, Qicheng, Pucheng, Xiangqiu, Yancheng, and Xucheng in the east of Wei, and these cities were only a hundred miles away from the Qin-Wei border, almost at the same time as Wang Ben, and the 40,000 Qin army foot soldiers also surrounded the eight cities on the eastern Wei border in the same way as interspersed behind enemy lines.

But then Yang Wengzi sat in the big tent of the Chinese army and stood still, watching the art of war and drinking tea, as if he had come to Weidong for an outing, which made a group of generals who were eager to fight.

All of this is naturally in the strategic plan formulated by Yang Wengzi in advance.

Although Yang Wengzi studied under Wang Qi and learned Wang Qi's swift use of troops and interspersed with encirclement methods, his nature was still to seek stability.

Dare to formulate such a risky strategy, but seek stability, these seem to be two contradictory ideas, but they do not conflict.

Yang Wengzi dared to take risks, but he made a detailed strategic plan, took into account Wang Ben's arrival in advance, the arrival of the card point and the various situations of being late, and did a good job of coping with each situation, which is often said to plan and then move.

The reason why Yang Wengzi's 40,000-strong army besieged these eight cities but did not attack them was also to seek stability.

In fact, these eight cities are important towns in eastern Wei, and the minimum number of defenders will not be less than 3,000 people, and the maximum is 6,000 people, and the total strength of the Qin army is only 40,000 people.

The infantry is not cavalry, so they can't learn Wang Ben's tactics of grabbing the city gate with light cavalry, and no matter how stupid the guards are, they can close the city gate in time to prevent the Qin army's foot soldiers from controlling the city gate.

Even if the Qin army can surround the crowd with a small number now, it is also because the Qin army is now prestigious, and no one dares to underestimate it. Second, Wang Ben's 10,000 light cavalry interspersed with movements shocked the defenders of the eight cities, who knows if the 10,000 light cavalry were waiting for them to go out of the city to engage the Qin army surrounding the city?

In other words, the Qin army was able to surround the crowd with a small number of people, all by bluffing.

As soon as the city is attacked, it will be completely exposed.

But if the Qin army wants to attack the city, it is not impossible, which is why Yang Wengzi is waiting for the baggage camp.

Waiting for the baggage battalion to transport the iron armor and siege equipment, the Qin army can rely on the siege mechanism beast developed by the public loser to break the city.

Of course, there is another most important reason, that is, Yang Wengzi is waiting for news from Wang Ben.

If Wang Ben successfully captured Pingqiu City, then he could attack the city with peace of mind, and if he was defeated, then he should be ready to meet Wang Ben and ensure his retreat.

If Wang Qi was present, he might have some tears when he saw Yang Wengzi's strategy of using troops.

After the war, Wang Qi was greatly moved after reading the military newspaper.

"Plan and then move, seek danger in stability, and the big category of Wu Anjun is also!"
