- "This Cao Zhang is quite capable," Xu Shu praised with a smile.
"What did Yuan Zhi say?" Wen Chou asked
Xu Shu then pointed at the map and said: "If Cao Zhang goes to the stronghold, our army can let go of his hands and feet and launch a full-scale attack. The small town of Jieting is dilapidated and difficult to defend, and it is not easy to build a camp. Moreover, the Qin army's strength is far less than our army." , with such efforts and consumption, Cao Zhang will be defeated in a few days."
Then, Xu Shu moved his finger towards Maiji Cliff again
"Perhaps Cao Zhang saw this, so he chose to go up the mountain to camp. Our army cannot ignore it, so it must be surrounded, annihilated, and completely eliminated before we can continue westward. Just now, we looked at the terrain on the broken mountain. It was very It is a dangerous location and is obviously easy to defend but difficult to attack. Now, the disadvantage of Qin's small number of soldiers can be easily offset by the advantage of the terrain."
Xu Shu¡¯s words exposed Cao Zhang¡¯s thoughts
"So that's it." Wen Chou nodded slightly. He was so proud that he also had some praise for Cao Zhang. "In Yuan Zhi's opinion, what should I do now?"
"Your Majesty's imperial decree to us is to order us to seize the street pavilion quickly. If this is the case, then the only thing we can do now is to attack first."
Wen Chou nodded slightly, deeply convinced, and immediately issued an order to the generals, ordering them to prepare, and after a good meal, launch an attack on the Qin army at Maijiya in the afternoon
More than 30,000 Chu troops with high morale had a good meal. In the afternoon, they all came out of the camp and pressed towards Maiji Cliff overwhelmingly.
The Qin army on the top of the cliff felt a little frightened when they saw the dark Chu army approaching from all sides.
After all, over the years, their record against the Chu army has been consecutive defeats. Not long ago, they just experienced the hellish defeat in Luokou City. It is reasonable to feel timid when they fight again today.
Cao Zhang was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he was still excited, hoping that the Chu army would come to surround the mountain and attack.
"If the bandit army dares to come, I will make you pay a heavy price. Thief Yan, thief Yan, it's time for you to taste the taste of failure."
Confidence and solemnity surged on Cao Zhang's face, and he then issued an order to the troops on the cliff to leave camp and prepare for the battle.
At the bottom of the mountain, Wen Chou stood on horseback and commanded his 30,000 troops to encircle Maiji Cliff.
Thirty thousand Han troops were divided into several groups and slowly expanded into formations. They first entered Jieting City, then moved towards Duanshan Mountain, and then dispersed into a number of relatively small semi-arc groups, expanding towards both sides of the foothills of Maiji Cliff.
"Your Majesty, do you want to take advantage of the enemy's encirclement before they are formed and send your troops down the mountain to attack them?" a deputy general said.
But Cao Zhang waved his hand and said: "No need. If the Chu soldiers rush and kill a few more people, they will be able to make up for it soon. There is no need to injure the lives of our soldiers."
"But if we can win now, we can defeat the enemy's spirit," the deputy general added.
Cao Zhang snorted coldly: "My mission is to hold back the Chu army. If we send troops down the mountain to attack, but are surrounded by the Chu army, should I rescue them or not?"
When Cao Zhang asked this question, the lieutenants on the left and right no longer dared to say anything.
Cao Zhang then issued another military order: Anyone who violates the order without permission will be killed without mercy!
Orders were passed down layer by layer, and the Qin army of more than 7,000 could only sit back and watch the Chu army complete the encirclement, but they only closed the gate of the village tightly, leaning on the fence to look down at the Chu army at the bottom of the mountain.
"The Qin army didn't take advantage of the situation and attack down the mountain, Yuan Zhi, it seems your bait didn't work." Wen Chou looked a little disappointed.
Xu Shu originally planned a plan for Wen Chou: Although the Chu troops at the foot of the mountain were scattered, their marching routes allowed the armies to respond to each other. In this way, as long as the Qin troops on the mountain dared to go down the mountain to attack, the Chu troops would The small group of soldiers and horses can quickly unite and annihilate the Qin army rushing down the mountain.
Based on the current situation where the Qin army remains calm, it is obvious that Cao Zhang has no intention of launching an attack to take advantage of the situation.
"It seems that the Cao family has been frightened by our Majesty these years, and they have finally become cautious. That's all, let's attack first and then talk about it," Xu Shu sighed with a smile.
Wen Chou nodded slightly, pointed his big gun at the mountain, and shouted: "Beat the drum, attack the mountain!"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Thunderous drums soared into the sky, and with flags waving, groups of Chu troops began to attack the cliffs.
The Chu army chose to attack at the northern foot of Maiji Bank, where the slope is relatively gentle. There were about 10,000 soldiers and horses in the attack. Wen Chou and Xu Shu both wanted to test the Qin army on the cliff through a moderate-scale attack. How strong is its defense capability?
Amid the rumbling war drums, the first wave of more than 2,000 Chu troops, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, climbed up the mountain.
At first, the Chu army's climb was quite smooth. Without much effort, the Chu army advanced about 100 meters in one breath.?Height of seventy or eighty feet
However, just as the Chu army was climbing all the way and was less than forty steps away from the Qin army's camp wall, there was a sudden sound of cannon in the Qin camp.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~
A buzzing sound suddenly started, and along with the sound of strings, hundreds of sharp arrows shot out of the air and shot down diagonally from the high momentum.
The screams suddenly started, and in an instant, the more than twenty Chu soldiers who were crawling at the front let out miserable howls, and their bodies hit by arrows rolled down the hillside.
At the bottom of the mountain, Wen Chou frowned slightly, but did not give the order to stop the attack.
The Chu army on the hillside, before the Qin army's volley ended, took over the position of their dead comrade without caring about their own safety, continued to crawl upwards, and climbed bravely
At this time, the Qin army at the camp fence also changed their crossbowmen, and the second round of arrows hit them like locusts.
The screams continued, and dozens of Chu soldiers were shot dead on the spot.
But the rain of arrows could not stop the iron-blooded soldiers of the Chu army. They held their hand shields in front of them and braved the dense rain of arrows, risking their lives and climbing up with difficulty.
Finally, more than 30 dead soldiers of the Chu army escaped the attack of arrows and approached the fence of the Qin army.
But at this moment, rows of dense spears suddenly stretched out from the fence, stabbing the approaching Chu army in an instant. Amidst the wailing, dozens of Chu soldiers fell into a pool of blood.
Faced with such a tragic scene, the soldiers of the Chu army risked their lives and continued to attack wave after wave.
Although the Chu army had 10,000 men, it was impossible to deploy due to the terrain of the hillside. At most, only 2,000 men could be engaged in a frontal battle at a time.
This attack lasted for half an hour, with nearly 300 soldiers lost, but the Qin army's casualties were less than double digits.
With such a huge disparity in battle damage ratio, the strength of the Qin army¡¯s defense is already very obvious
"There is no need to continue the forceful attack. Let's withdraw the troops and return the whole army to camp." Wen Chou raised his whip and shouted.
Dang Dang Dang~~
The sound of the golden roar sounded, and the soldiers of the Chu army who were fighting hard retreated down the mountain in an orderly manner against the flying arrows shot from the slope. The troops slowly returned to the camp.
On the cliff, Cao Zhang looked down at the retreating Chu army, and a proud sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
¡°You thief, I have said before that I will definitely let you taste the taste of failure, haha~~¡±
When Cao Zhang was laughing wildly on the mountain, Wen Chou and Xu Shu had already returned to the tent to discuss strategies to defeat the enemy.
Wen Chou said in a deep voice: "That boy Cao Zhang is nothing to worry about. It's just that the terrain of Maiji Cliff is dangerous. Even though our army has thousands of troops, it's difficult to take advantage of it. Yuan Zhi, how do you think we should fight this battle?"
Xu Shu pondered for a long time, then smiled slightly and said: "I have a way, maybe I can make the Qin army collapse without a single soldier."
"What's Yuan Zhi's clever plan?" Wen Chou suddenly became excited.
Xu Shu pointed to the map and said: "Although the Qin army has a favorable location, the Maiji Cliff is more than 200 feet above the ground. If the Qin army wants to get water on the mountain, they must go down the mountain to get water from two streams. We only need to cut off his water source. If the Qin army has no water, it will not go out for a long time, and its morale will collapse due to thirst."
Wen Chou¡¯s expression perked up, and he suddenly became enlightened
"Water source, yes, why didn't I do it?" Wen Chou was so excited that he immediately ordered three thousand soldiers and horses to cut off the two water sources.
¡¡
While the front army at Jieting was fighting fiercely, the main army led by Yan Liang had left Chencang and was marching on the road to Jieting.
The battle reports from the front were delivered non-stop by fast horses every day. Not long after Wen Chou entered the street pavilion, Yan Liang received their latest battle reports.
"Cao Cao seems to trust him, Huang Xuer, so much that he entrusts him with such an important task of guarding the street pavilion."
Fazheng said with a smile: "The Cao thief has lost troops and generals in consecutive years, and there are only a handful of usable generals. He asked Cao Zhang to take on this important task, and Xiangbi also has no one left."
"That's true." Yan Liang nodded slightly, and then said, "Then Cao Zhang went to the village in front of the street pavilion?"
"Your Majesty, according to the Hussars General's report, the Qin army did not attack on the main road, but chose to attack on the broken mountain next to the street pavilion," the scout replied.
Yan Liang¡¯s head moved slightly, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
He is familiar with history, but he clearly remembers that in the past, Zhuge Liang ordered Ma Di to guard the street pavilion. Before leaving, he told Ma Di to leave the village at the street pavilion.
As a result, Ma Su was "self-righteous" and went against Zhuge Liang's arrangements. He also set up a stronghold on the broken mountain next to the street pavilion. As a result, the water source was cut off for the Wei army. As a result, the entire army collapsed and the street pavilion was lost.
If we say that Ma Su was famous in history, it was because he was on the verge of battle.The reasons for setting up and setting up a stronghold on Broken Mountain were due to lack of experience and armchair tactics. So why did Cao Zhang choose to go up and down a stronghold on Broken Mountain despite being rich in battle formations?
The same mistake, so surprisingly similar!
"Could it be that Ma Su in history had to choose to go up and down the Broken Mountain for some special reason? If not, how could Cao Zhang make the same mistake?"
Yan Liang couldn¡¯t help but have questions in his mind, and he suddenly became very interested in the small town of Jieting.
"Cao Zhang can certainly secure a dangerous position when he goes up the mountain and down to the stronghold, but the water source is a problem. The Hussar General only needs to cut off the source of his water. It doesn't take many days for the Qin army to collapse without a fight."
Although Fazheng was far away from the battlefield, he made a keen judgment
Fa Zheng's words made Yan Liangliang's curiosity even more intense. He couldn't help but sneered: "This street pavilion is really an interesting place. I can't wait to see with my own eyes what it's like." A magical place" (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
