- Duwei wishes everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, good health, and everything goes well.
The road is desolate, and on the ancient road heading north, an army under the banner of "Qin" is hurriedly marching
Cao Zhang, who was running, reined in his horse and looked up at his long snake army. His deep-set eyes flashed with a bit of pride and excitement.
Several wild geese flew in the sky. Cao Zhang raised his head and squinted his eyes to listen to the cry of the wild geese. He had the urge to pick up a bow and arrow and shoot down a few wild geese to vent his excitement.
As long as he can defend the street pavilion, he will use his great achievements to establish a huge reputation in the Qin Dynasty. At that time, his unknown brother will no longer be qualified to compete with him for the position of prince.
"After winning this battle, my father will definitely make me the prince." Cao Zhang thought in his heart, and a smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth.
Beating his horse and whipping his whip, Cao Zhang continued to rush
That day at dusk, Cao Zhang led an army of 10,000 people and arrived at Jieting.
What surprised Cao Zhang was that he did not see the fortified street pavilion city he expected. The small street pavilion city was in disrepair at first glance. Cao Zhang even felt that he could just kick in and the entire city wall would be destroyed. It will collapse
Such a dilapidated city obviously had little military value, so Cao Zhang ordered a group of soldiers and horses to enter the city to inspect the situation, while the remaining more than 10,000 troops were waiting in the open area in front of the city.
The army stopped in front of the city. After several days of rapid march, the Qin army was exhausted. After hearing the military order to stand by, the Qin sergeants felt relieved and put down their weapons one after another and sat down on the spot.
And Wu Zhi, who was in the rear army, learned of this military order, but hurried forward.
"Why didn't King Liang set up camp in the street pavilion, but asked the soldiers to stand by on the spot?" Wu Zhiqi asked.
Cao Zhang said coldly: "I will carry out my king's orders. Why do you need to ask more questions?"
Cao Zhang did not give Wu Zhi a good look. He knew that his deputy general had always been very close to his brother Cao Pi. Cao Zhang would naturally be unhappy if such a person acted as his deputy general and shared the defense battle with him.
Wu Zhi was choked and his lips moved in displeasure. In the end, he said nothing and had to turn around and go back to the rear army.
Cao Zhang asked the troops to stand by, but he led more than ten guards to inspect the surrounding terrain of the street pavilion.
The radius of the street pavilion is not very large. The narrow avenue that was originally winding in Longshan suddenly became clear when entering the ground of the street pavilion. For more than ten miles in the direction of Guanzhong, there is a wide flat land, surrounded by towering and dangerous mountains. Know
The broken city of Jieting is located on the south side of the road crossing, and two miles behind it is a broken mountain
This broken mountain rises from the ground, with a height of more than 200 feet, forming an independent peak. It is not connected to the surrounding mountains. The sound of clear water and river waves on the side of the mountain is loud. If you listen to it faintly, you will mistakenly think that there are millions of mighty soldiers and their momentum. Very majestic
Cao Zhang rode his horse to the foot of Broken Mountain. Suddenly, a terrain in front of him attracted his attention.
"Where is that place?" Cao Zhang pointed with his horsewhip.
The guides on the left and right looked in the direction he pointed, only to see that the mountain suddenly narrowed halfway up the mountain and stretched out into a cliff. The sides of the cliff were uneven, making it impossible to see clearly what was happening on the top of the cliff.
"That cliff, we locals call it Maiji Cliff" the guide replied
The cliff is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, with undulating layers. The word "Maiji" is quite vivid.
Cao Zhang nodded slightly, then pointed to the cliff, "Follow me and go up to have a look."
So, the group of people followed the gentle slope of the hillside and slowly climbed up to Namaiji Cliff.
There are very few trees on this Maiji Cliff, but the weeds are very dense, about two feet high, lush and green, exuding a faint scent of grass.
Cao Zhang climbed about two hundred feet and just reached the top of the cliff. It didn't matter that he climbed up. Everyone, including Cao Zhang, was shocked.
It turns out that the top of Maiji Cliff is wide and flat, with the surface half stone and half earth, and the entire area is flat land. Such terrain is enough to accommodate more than 10,000 people to set up camp.
Cao Zhang remained silent and looked around along the top of the cliff, his eyes showing contemplation from time to time.
After watching for about a quarter of an hour, Cao Zhang looked down from the top of the mountain, and saw the street pavilions, ruined city and Longshan Avenue in front of his eyes. Looking at this magnificent scene, Cao Zhang felt a surge of emotion in his chest.
After staring for a long time, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a look of pride flashed in his eyes.
After going down the mountain, the sun was already setting, and Cao Zhang made a surprising decision:
The whole army camped on the top of Maijiya Mountain!
"King Liang, your Majesty has something to say before leaving.Tell us, we were ordered to go down to the village at the street pavilion. How dare you, Prince Liang, disobey His Majesty's will? "Wu Zhi asked in surprise.
"Don't you understand that when generals are outside, your orders are not given to you?" Cao Zhang glared at him with disdain.
Wu Zhi frowned, "But there must be a reason why King Liang changed his camp."
"Jieting City is in dilapidated condition, and the base cannot be defended. The main road is too wide, and it is difficult to conquer even if you camp on the road. The terrain on the Maiji Cliff in my view is flat enough to accommodate more than 10,000 people, and there are springs. It is really an excellent place to station troops and defend. place"
"Furthermore, our army relies on the natural dangers to defend, and will definitely be able to force the bandit army to advance or retreat. As long as the reinforcements from the father arrive, we will attack from inside and outside, and use the condescending bamboo-breaking momentum to defeat the Yan bandit army in one fell swoop."
Cao Zhang kept talking about his tactics, and his words were so confident. This set of tactics was the one he had already thought of on Maiji'an.
"Prince Liang, please forgive me for saying frankly that your plan is too risky. It not only violates His Majesty's will, but also risks the lives of more than 10,000 soldiers." Wu Zhi couldn't help but said.
Cao Zhang seemed to have expected that Wu Zhi would object, so he asked tepidly: "General Wu, I want to ask you, what is the purpose of our being ordered to come to the street pavilion this time?"
"Of course, I am here to guard the street pavilion and prevent the Chu army from entering the hinterland of Longxi on your Majesty's order," Wu Zhi replied without hesitation.
Cao Zhang took advantage of the situation and asked: "Then I will ask you again, if I station the army on the broken mountain next to Jieting Avenue, will the Chu army ignore my army and pass directly through the avenue, or will they attack me first? King¡¯s Army?¡±
Wu Zhi was startled and said: "It goes without saying. Of course the Chu army will attack our army first, otherwise how could they be so stupid as to ignore the rear and continue to advance openly?"
"Since our army can achieve the purpose of blocking the enemy whether we camp on Jieting Avenue or on Maiji Cliff, then why can't our army choose a more dangerous place that is more conducive to us holding back the enemy? For the general , you must know how to use the terrain, General Wu can't even understand this simple truth?" Cao Zhang's cold mouth revealed a hint of sarcastic sneer.
Wu Zhi was speechless at this moment. Although as a close confidant of Cao Pi, he instinctively opposed Cao Zhang, but based on the actual situation, Wu Zhi had to admit that Cao Zhang's analysis was very reasonable.
With only 10,000 soldiers and horses, it is impossible to defend the dilapidated city of Jieting. Even if they camp on the main road outside the city, the terrain around the street is relatively wide. If the Chu army is surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops, they will not be able to defend it.
When Cao Cao gave them the order to march down the stronghold, he probably had no actual grasp of the terrain of Jieting.
"But if our army is stationed on the mountain, what should we do if the Chu army cuts off our water source?" Wu Zhi found another reason to object.
Cao Zhang smiled faintly: "What you are worried about, how could I not have thought that just now I went to the cliff to personally check the terrain. There are two open water sources under the broken mountain, and there is also an undercurrent, both of which come from the side. The water source from the Qingshui River comes from the Qingshui River. If you are not careful, you cannot tell that the Chu army can only cut off the clear water. I only need to send a troop to protect the dark source. The water source is not enough. consider"
At this point, Wu Zhi could no longer find any reason, and his opposition had been completely suppressed by Cao Zhang
Cao Zhang looked at Wu Zhi who was hesitant to speak, and tried his best to restrain his proud thoughts, and finally did not show it.
"Since there is no objection, it has been decided. I will lead 7,000 elite troops and station them on Maiji Cliff. As for you, General Wu, I will allocate you 3,000 troops and horses, and you will go to the east of Duanshan Mountain. Please guard the water source of that underground river well."
Since the underground river is an underground river, it means that the place is difficult for the Chu army to discover and attack. This means that Wu Zhi's task of protecting the water source seems to be more important, but it is actually for Cao Zhang. Arranged an errand
" If he, Wu Zhi, had not participated in the war, he would not have gained much military merit when the merits were divided after the war. This was probably Cao Zhang's purpose.
Wu Zhi knew Cao Zhang¡¯s little plan very well, but the military orders were like mountains, but he could only obey them.
Seeing Wu Zhi riding his horse away angrily, Cao Zhang sneered, raised his whip and shouted: "The whole army is moving, let me set up camp at Maiji Cliff."
While the Qin army was busy setting up camp, the 30,000 infantry and cavalry forward troops commanded by Wen Chou were already on the road thirty miles away from the street pavilion.
After a night of hurried march, at dawn, Wen Chou led his army and arrived near the street pavilion.
Wen Chou had actually learned about the Qin army's move to garrison the street pavilion from the intelligence provided by the scouts. This was also something that had been estimated before the war.
After the army arrived at the front line of the street pavilion, Wen Chou did notHe immediately ordered an attack. After all, his soldiers had been marching all night. They were very tired and could not continue to fight.
Therefore, Wen Chou, at Xu Shu's suggestion, ordered his soldiers and horses to camp seven miles away from the street pavilion. He and Xu Shu, escorted by dozens of cavalry soldiers, went to Jiang Street Pavilion to personally inspect the enemy's situation and got the result. First-hand enemy intelligence
After the inspection, Wen Chou and others returned to the camp, took out the map, and compared the field observations with the map
Wen Chou¡¯s brows soon darkened, and he murmured: ¡°Cao Zhang, this kid, doesn¡¯t camp in the street pavilion, but he camped here. What on earth does this kid want to do?¡± (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
