Chapter 545: Street Pavilion Defense: Anticipate the enemy first

PreviousBack to directoryNext
When Liu Feng led more than ten thousand Han troops to Jieting, even though he had already learned about the landforms of some Jietings from the locals, he still couldn't help but frowned after seeing the landforms of Jieting with his own eyes.

From Liu Feng's perspective, the street pavilion he was in was surrounded by mountains on both the north and south sides, leaving only a highway several miles wide from east to west.

According to common sense, there are high mountains on the north and south sides as natural bunkers, so the street pavilion should be regarded as a rare place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

It's like a mountain road hidden in the mountains outside the sword pavilion.

But Jieting is different from Jiange. The mountain roads outside Jiange are mostly narrow and rugged, making it difficult for the army to march or even launch an attack under such conditions.

However, although the road to Jieting also has rugged and winding places, there is a flat area that is several miles wide in a certain section.

That flat area is the throat of the entire street pavilion.

Standing on a high mountain, Liu Feng quickly overlooked the entire landscape of street pavilions.

And it was when he saw that flat and wide area that he couldn't help but frown.

If the road to the street pavilion is as narrow as the Jiange Mountain Road, he can easily block the Wei army from the street pavilion by entering the village from the road.

As long as the supply of food and grass is endless, he can keep the Wei army at bay.

But the landscape of the street pavilion has a wide area.

If we want to successfully intercept the Wei army and prevent them from crossing the street pavilion, that wide area must be fought for.

However, due to the flatness and width of the terrain, if the Han army were to attack the stronghold at that location, the geographical advantage would be minimized.

The most important thing is that if they want to successfully block the Wei army on a strategic road that is several miles wide, the fortresses built by the Han army must expand horizontally along with the terrain.

There should be no loophole left that the Wei army could take advantage of.

If you have enough troops, this is no problem.

But Liu Feng currently only has more than 10,000 troops.

With more than 10,000 troops, it is no longer an easy task to build an impregnable camp that spans several miles in a short period of time.

What's more, in this large camp that stretches for several miles, troops must be dispersed everywhere to block the Wei army's fierce attack.

Any veteran knows that this matter will become more and more difficult as time goes by.

No wonder before leaving, His Majesty once said to him: "A street pavilion is easy to defend, but it is not easy to defend."

At that time, Liu Feng didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but after seeing the real landscape of the street pavilion, he understood why Liu Bei told him this sentence.

I also understood why Liu Bei gave him 10,000 Han troops.

Just as Liu Feng frowned and walked down the mountain, several young Liangzhou generals also climbed up a high mountain and saw the whole street pavilion clearly.

Ding Feng, Deng Ai, Zhang Yi, Jiang Wei and other four young players are either experienced or talented.

Naturally, they could also see at a glance the advantages and disadvantages that the street pavilion landform brought to the Han army.

After the judgment emerged in their hearts, several young generals discussed it with each other.

Ding Feng took the lead and said: "Our army must immediately go to the stronghold!"

Before and after Ding Feng surrendered to Mi Yang, he played the role of attacking first. Those who are good at attacking are often also good at finding the weaknesses of the defender.

In Ding Feng's view, the only way to defend the street pavilion is to go to the village directly.

As for the mountains on both sides of Jieting Road, Ding Fengzheng didn't even take a look at them.

Even if it is said in the military book: "If you look down from high, you will be invincible."

But there wouldn't be any fool who would give up the strategy of marching down the stronghold and move the army to the mountains to defend it, right?

Ding Feng's words made Zhang Yi nod involuntarily.

"Of course."

Although Zhang Yi also saw that going down to the stronghold was not a permanent way to stop the Wei army.

But this is due to the limited terrain of the street pavilion.

Moreover, even though the terrain of Jieting is not as dangerous as Jiange, it has already helped the Han army a lot.

For example, the steep mountains on both sides have become natural barriers for the Han army in the north and south.

Without these two natural barriers, it would be almost impossible to defend the wide Jieting Road with an army of 10,000, especially when the Wei army had cavalry.

The steep mountains on Jieting Road provided the most basic possibility for the Han army to hold on to Jieting.

In this case, there is no need to ask for too much.

After all, how many places in the world are as dangerous as Jiange?

Moreover, if Jieting was really as dangerous as Jiange, he thought that Wei Jun would not foolishly lead his troops to Jieting to die.

It is precisely because the terrain of Jieting can be defended and attacked that the armies of the Han and Wei Dynasties focused their attention on this place.

After Zhang Yi agreed with Ding Feng's speech, Deng Ai then made an inference:

"If the enemy general is good at fighting, he will definitely lead his troops to attack from left to right in the future, making our army exhausted."

Deng Ai's tone was solemn.

Compared with Ding Feng's inference, Deng Ai's inference was more profound. He had already predicted in advance the tactics that Wei might adopt in the future.

After listening to Deng Ai's inference, Ding Feng and Zhang Yi's expressions became solemn involuntarily.

What Deng Ai was talking about was the tactic of using point arrancar.

If the enemy general could really come up with this kind of tactic, it would be very detrimental to the Han army.

With a solemn expression, Zhang Yi exhaled heavily and agreed again:

"Of course."

Zhang Ni's two words of approval made Ding Feng and Deng Ai both look at him.

Don't you know how to say anything other than nature?

Faced with the gazes of his two colleagues, Zhang Ni lowered his head and thought for a while, then immediately looked at Jiang Wei.

Zhang Yi's eyes were filled with inquiry.

It seems to be saying: Ding Feng and Deng Ai have expressed their opinions, but what about you?

Zhang Yi had already made preparations to say "ran ye" for the third time.

When Zhang Ni looked at Jiang Wei, Ding Feng and Deng Ai also followed Zhang Ni's gaze and turned their eyes towards Jiang Wei.

Suddenly, Jiang Wei was stared at by three colleagues, which made Jiang Wei feel at a loss.

It's not that Jiang Wei doesn't have opinions in his heart, it's just that on the way to Jieting, Jiang's mother warned Jiang Wei many times that he was a subordinate and had a sensitive status, so he shouldn't express himself too much at first.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jiang Wei kept Jiang's mother's warning in mind, but he did have insights in his heart that he was unhappy with. This contradictory mentality made Jiang Wei feel at a loss.

Jiang Wei's confusion fell into the eyes of the three people. Deng Ai first smiled contemptuously, then turned and walked down the mountain.

A look of understanding immediately appeared on the faces of Zhang Yi and Ding Feng.

How can those who entertain the Lord with sex have any real talent and learning?

It's because their requirements are too high.

After Deng Ai walked down the mountain, Zhang Ni and Ding Feng saw that they couldn't ask anything about Jiang Wei, so they also walked down the mountain.

Seeing the three comrades leaving one after another, Jiang Wei could only follow them down the mountain.

Just as he was walking down the mountain, Jiang Wei turned back three times every step.

Jiang Wei turned his head and stared at the rolling mountains.

He couldn't help but have a question in his mind:

Why do everyone only think about defense and use offense instead of defense? Isn't that okay?

...

After the four young generals in Liangzhou all walked down the mountain, Liu Feng's herald arrived and summoned all four of them to him.

Liu Feng looked at the four young generals from Liangzhou who had arrived. He knew what the four of them had just done.

But Liu Feng didn't take it seriously.

Liu Feng knew Liu Bei's intention in sending Ding Feng and several others as his lieutenants, and Liu Feng did not object to this intention.

Because he himself was promoted step by step under similar arrangements back then.

Although Liu Feng was not happy with Mi Yang's previous attempt to sabotage his plan to become Liu Bei's deputy general, and was dissatisfied with some aspects of Mi Yang, Liu Feng was not willing to embarrass the people under Mi Yang's command.

Liu Feng, who has his eyes higher than his head, often doesn't pay too much attention to people he doesn't care about.

After taking a glance at the four generals in front of him, Liu Feng finally focused on Ding Feng.

Ding Feng is the most famous general under Mi Yang.

Liu Feng looked at Ding Feng and said to him: "Although the rebel army has not arrived yet, the street pavilion is very important. It will only take a month at most, and most of the rebel army will definitely appear in the street pavilion.

And if you want to defend the street pavilion, you have to go down to the village directly."

After saying these words, Liu Feng turned around and picked up a camp layout map from the desk behind him.

This camp layout diagram was drawn by Liu Feng just now after he returned to the main tent after inspecting the terrain of the street pavilion.

Liu Feng handed the formation map in his hand to Ding Feng, and then continued: "As my deputy general, I will leave it to you to supervise the construction of the fort."

Hearing what Liu Feng said, Ding Feng quickly took the formation chart from Liu Feng and started reading it.

At the same time, Ding Feng and Zhang Yi and others beside him also looked at the details of the formation diagram drawn by Liu Feng.

After reading it, the four young generals from Liangzhou quietly put down a big stone in their hearts.

Due to Liu Feng's previous bad reputation, when they just came down from the mountain, the four young generals in Liangzhou actually had a hidden worry in their hearts - that is, would Liu Feng do something irrational in order to win credit?

This hidden worry in the hearts of several people was quietly erased by the formation diagram drawn by Liu Feng himself.

It can be seen from the formation map that the place where Liu Feng took charge of the village was the vast area of ​​​​Jieting.

Moreover, the formation diagram drawn by Liu Feng is very strict in structure.

From these two points, we can see that Liu Feng is indeed an experienced and good general.

Historically, Zhuge Liang also drew a formation diagram for Ma Di before Ma Di was guarding the street pavilion. Unfortunately...

After roughly looking at the structure of the formation, Ding Feng clasped his fists at Liu Feng and said, "The general will definitely fulfill his mission."

Faced with Ding Feng's promise, Liu Feng just glanced at it and did not respond.

In Liu Feng's opinion, he had already drawn the formation diagram. What Ding Feng had to do was a very simple matter, and there was really no need to say anything more.

After arranging the tasks for Ding Feng, Liu Feng looked at Zhang Yi beside him.

Liu Feng said to Zhang Ni: "I heard that you have a prudent character, so I will entrust you with the heavy responsibility of transporting our army's food and fodder."

Compared with his explanation of Ding Feng's mission, Liu Feng's words to Zhang Ni were very concise and concise.

After Zhang Yi heard Liu Feng's appointment, he accepted the task willingly.

The importance of transporting grain and grass goes without saying, and this matter is not as simple as it sounds.

Even though Tianshui and Anding counties are nominally surrendering to the Han, there are still many counties in the two counties that harbor Cao Wei.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult to guarantee that some Wei generals will not hide beside the official roads and lead their troops to attack the Han army's grain transport team.

Even if no Wei general dares to do this at present, this danger is very likely to occur after the Wei army arrives.

Therefore, what Zhang Yi took over was actually the important task of protecting the Han army's food routes.

After arranging the tasks for Zhang Yi, Liu Feng realized that there was nothing he had missed, so he wanted Ding Feng and others to go down first.

But at this moment, Deng Ai took the initiative to step forward and bow to Liu Feng and said:

"The general should be wary of the enemy in the future and use the high mobility of the cavalry to carry out the tactic of breaking through the enemy's face."

After hearing Deng Ai's words, Liu Feng's eyebrows inevitably wrinkled.

This was something he hadn't thought of before.

However, Liu Feng did not respond to Deng Ai's concerns. He just ordered the four of them to retreat first.

Deng Ai saw that Liu Feng didn't seem to care about the matter. He wanted to persuade him again, but he noticed that Liu Feng's expression was not good and Zhang Ni secretly pulled Deng Ai's sleeve and pulled him out of the tent.

After Deng Ai and the others left the tent, Liu Feng thought about Deng Ai's reminder just now, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Liu Feng was not Ma Di, so he certainly knew whether Deng Ai's concerns were justified.

But the reason why he didn't respond immediately to Deng Ai's concerns was that he didn't have a good response to it.

Although the defenders will have an advantage in geographical location compared to the attackers, there are always gains and losses.

While occupying the advantageous location, the defenders also basically gave up their mobility.

This is inevitable.

So how can he prevent or counteract this without mobility?

Liu Feng thought about this problem quite distressedly.

After thinking for a long time, Liu Feng still couldn't come up with a proper strategy.

However, Liu Feng was not too worried about this.

The reason is that even if the enemy general adopts the method mentioned by Deng Ai, it will definitely take a long time to capture the Han army's camp with this method.

Liu Bei asked him to guard the street pavilion just to stop the Wei army's reinforcements for a period of time, but not to let him guard the street pavilion forever.

He only needs to hold on until Liu Bei captures Longxi County.

With this strategic intention, Liu Feng chose not to worry too much about this matter for the time being.

Staying unchanged in response to all changes is the best strategy for dealing with the enemy at the moment.

...

Deng Ai was pulled away from the tent by Zhang Yi. When he arrived outside the tent, Deng Ai looked at Zhang Ni angrily.

"Why did Bo Qi stop me?"

Faced with Deng Ai's question, Zhang Ni asked:

"Does Shi Zai have a way to deal with it?"

Zhang Ni's rhetorical question made Deng Aiyu choke.

He was guessing what tactics Wei might adopt in the coming day, but under the current situation, Deng Ai really had no way to deal with it for the time being.

But even so, Liu Feng shouldn't have said anything about this hidden danger.

"Precisely because there is no way to deal with it at the moment, General Zhengbei should pool his wisdom and actively seek ways to defeat the enemy."

Deng Ai said it was natural.

Deng Ai's words naturally made Zhang Yi roll his eyes.

Deng Ai is a very smart person, otherwise he would not have noticed this in advance. Unfortunately, his emotional intelligence is not very good.

It can be seen from Liu Feng's two arrangements just now that Liu Feng is a person who likes to act dictatorially. What he needs is not a lieutenant general to serve as his adviser, but a lieutenant general who faithfully executes his orders.

How could Liu Feng, with such a personality, easily brainstorm as Deng Ai said?

Zhang Ni could only explain to Deng Ai earnestly, and then he and Ding Feng forcefully dragged Deng Ai away from Liu Feng's tent.

Looking at Zhang Yi and the others leaving, Jiang Wei's eyes flashed, wondering what he was thinking about.

Suddenly he had an idea.
