Chapter 536: Strategic Proactive Becomes Passive. Cao Zhen: Am I a clown?
Cao Zhen occupied Yongxian County, and spent a day and a night clearing the remnants of the recalcitrant Han army in the city, so that he had time to go to the Yongxian County Treasury to check his spoils.
As soon as you enter the heavy gate of the treasury, the first thing that catches your eye is a mountain of grain and grass.
They are neatly stacked, and the sacks of grain are like towering mountains, and there is almost no end in sight.
On the other side of the warehouse, military supplies are piled up.
Swords, guns, swords, halberds, glittering, these weapons and equipment, each piece has been carefully crafted, revealing the ingenuity of the craftsmen.
"Good, good!"
Cao Zhen patted bags of grain and grass, cut the sacks with a knife, exposed golden wheat from them, took a handful and put it in his mouth, and chewed it vigorously.
After Meng Da put away the edict, the young man Ma Cheng couldn't help but step forward and asked, "Regardless of Cao Zhen's department, how to transport grain?" The logistics are not guaranteed, what will the Chinese army eat and drink in Yu Elk City? Your Majesty, how did Your Majesty plan it? ”
Yongxian is in sight, and Ma Cheng can't help but attack the city.
At this time, Wang Ping led 2,000 men and horses to the outside of Yongxian County.
Wang Ping looked at the towering city wall of Yongxian, as well as the banner of the Wei army on the city and the dense Han army guards on the city, shook his head and said:
Wang Ping and Ma Cheng glanced at each other, immediately got up, knelt down, and came out in a posture of obeying the edict.
In the end, everyone will not be short of food in a short time.
"This matter is here for the last general!"
Chin this! ”
At this moment, Meng Da shook his head and said, "No, Your Majesty asked me to lead my troops to come, which is to surround Yongxian, not to attack the city." ”
Perhaps the current Cao Zhen is still immersed in the joy of succeeding in stealing chickens, and now he is thinking about guarding one acre and three points of land in Yongxian County.
You rob me of food, I rob you of food.
On the side, Peng Xuan also nodded.
"Great, my Wang Shi has arrived, it's time to attack Yongxian."
"This is Your Majesty, and only Your Majesty can come up with such a plan!"
"With these grains and grass, it will be enough for my army for several months, and the hope of recovering Guanzhong will be a little bigger."
But the situation is completely different.
Both sides were very restrained, and the fortress where Wang Ping was located was not fully repaired, so in order to prevent the Wei army from sneaking attack, it had to take several days to repair the fortress.
"Yongxian is strong, the Wei army is defensive, our army is insufficient and cannot be attacked, there are two forts around Yongxian, take one of them and rest as a camp!"
The freshly grown wheat has a fragrant flavor, and although it is raw, it has a unique taste when eaten.
"The last general commands!"
"Your Majesty's trick, it is not easy to succeed, and the burden on us is very heavy."
"Good!"
Ma Cheng saluted Meng Da, with excitement on his face.
"There's an edict?"
Meng Da nodded, looked at Wang Ping and Ma Cheng, and immediately took out the edict on the red plate held by the deputy behind him.
Meng Da looked at Ma Chao's face, and did not have the same knowledge as Ma Cheng, but said:
Guo Huai immediately stepped forward to receive the order.
Now as long as he is holding on to Cao Zhen's department.
Your Majesty?
However, you must also remember that you must not attack the city without the will of the Lord.
The iron armor shimmered in the sunlight with a cold metallic sheen, as if it was an impregnable barrier protecting his mountain-solid body.
If there is a violation of the order, it will not be spared.
The elite of the Han army came out and could respond at any time, and Cao Zhen's department was only a few thousand people, and thousands of people were in Yongxian County, what kind of waves could they make?
"This"
Reinforcement is reinforcement!
And Cao Zhen's department had already made a long-term posture, although he lost a fortress, but there was still a fortress outside the city as a support, so he was not in a hurry to fight Wang Ping.
Guo Huai led the army to rush and kill, but in one day, he knocked down the two fortresses around Yongxian.
Rao is Wang Ping has seen a lot of big scenes, but when he heard Meng Da's words, his mouth was still shocked and couldn't close.
Cao Zhen showed a smile on his face and said: "Fei Yao led 5,000 soldiers, and he is already on the way, plus more than 2,000 soldiers in the city, there are more than 7,000 people in total, with the materials in the city, it is not a problem to hold Yongxian." ”
"General, send troops to attack the city!"
By the time Cao Zhen, who was bent on strengthening the city defense, came to his senses, it was already too late.
Guo Huai immediately received the order and led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to fight the surrounding fortresses.
"I hope it will be as the general said!"
Fei Yao poured into Yongxian County with 5,000 Wei troops, and Meng Da led the elite soldiers of the headquarters who originally guarded Chen Cang to the outside of Yongxian County.
Just like Wang Ping's 2,000 people and Cao Zhen in the past few days, Cao Zhen has not done anything else, but is constantly strengthening the city defenses.
"I'll tell you the truth! His Majesty ordered Zhang Bao to lead 10,000 elite cavalry, pass through Yongxian County, go out of Yulu, drive directly to the Wei army camp, and even take advantage of the situation to take Longguan. When the grain and grass in the Wei army camp are in the bag, Yulucheng will naturally not lack grain and grass logistics, and at that time, Yongxian County will become a lonely city. ”
Wang Ping laughed, not anxious, and said: "We only need to stop most of Cao Zhen, a small number of people leave Yongxian, and they can't make any waves, and we don't transport grain, so why should they wait?" ”
Meng Da glared at Ma Cheng, who saw this, his arrogance was a little restrained, but his chest was straightened, and there was a bit of competition in it.
"This is God bless my Great Wei, with this grain and grass ordnance, Yongxian is indestructible, when my army advances east and west, and recovers Guanzhong, there is a lot to do!"
Meng Da immediately analyzed the situation.
"There are 4,000 people in my department, how many of you are there?"
Wang Ping immediately said: "Two thousand, no." In the past few days, the remnants of the army have been gathered, and there are 2,500 men. ”
I hope that you and others will focus on the overall situation, fulfill their duties, and wait for the opportunity.
Seeing that this etiquette was in place, Meng Da then spoke:
The edict said:
Hearing the hostile situation in Yongxian County, I am very concerned. Today, Prime Minister Meng Da was specially ordered to besiege the city, and Wang Ping and Ma Chenger will listen to his military orders and lead the troops to besiege Yongxian, which must be tightly sealed so that the Wei army in the city will not be able to break through.
Ma Cheng was even more short of breath, his face was flushed, and his eyes flashed with admiration for Liu Chan.
gave Cao Zhen a sneak attack, and then the people in the headquarters fell into a crisis, as a fledgling Ma Cheng, how could he not be in a hurry?
Meng Da was dressed in a heavy iron armor, standing like an iron giant.
After a few days of fighting, reinforcements arrived.
The forts around Yongxian County have not been completely repaired, Yongxian County has fallen, the defender Liu Feng died in battle, there are not many defenders in the fort, and the morale of a small number of defenders is low.
If you want to defend the city, it is not enough to defend one alone, and you also need to have the surrounding forts and acropolis to help each other in order to be able to defend it for a long time.
"In other words, we only have more than 6,000 people, and it is not easy to surround Yongxian, and the follow-up army, I am afraid it will take half a month to arrive, everyone, what is the plan?"
Cao Zhen nodded heavily, and said: "Hold Yongxian, cut off the supply of grain and grass to Ma Dai and Wang Ping, then the Han army guarding the defense line of Yu Elk will have to retreat, when the enemy retreats, the whole army attacks, the Han army is bound to suffer heavy losses, if it can develop to the stage of chasing the dead and chasing the north, it can even take a few cities of the Han State." ”
It's no longer a trivial matter.
And when the enemy is tired of attacking the city, it is time for him to counterattack.
Who would have thought that the 10,000 Han iron horsemen were already rushing to the Wei army camp.
So.
The two camps that Guo Huai defeated were quickly taken by the Han army.
Meng Da was not blindly confident.
It is really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers.
"The top priority now is to knock down the Han army fortresses on both sides of Yongxian!"
Although Ma Cheng was confused in his heart, the edict was here, and he had to obey orders.
At that time.
The so-called strategic initiative has become strategic passivity.
The wise and martial general of the Wei State has directly become a clown! (End of chapter)
