Sun Jian currently has several options. First, he can choose to attack Han Sui's army's grain transport team, which has been prepared for defense, at all costs. After all, Sun Jian now has the initiative to attack and has completely forced the opponent to death in one place. He can choose

Attack the opponent at any time, but the opponent does not have any conditions for counterattack. In this case, as long as he is patient enough, he can always find a better time to launch an attack.

Moreover, Sun Jian can also choose to attack continuously in batches. For example, he divides his cavalry into three to five batches, and then sends a batch of troops to attack the enemy camp each time. In this way, even every attack may not be successful.

What a great achievement has been achieved, but in the process it can very well wear down the enemy's will. Think about being beaten in the morning, at noon, in the afternoon, in the evening, and even while sleeping. This way

If this continues for several days, the defender's will to fight will definitely be severely tortured, and it will only be a matter of time before they lose their combat effectiveness.

It's just that such a tactic definitely requires more time, and after all, the grain transport team lacks everything except food. On the other hand, Sun Jian's two thousand cavalry need a lot of food, so even if they adopt

This tactic must not be delayed for too long, otherwise the advantages may be exchanged by then.

The second option is to divide the troops. Some troops will surround this part of the troop transport team, and then Sun Jian will lead the remaining troops to continue chasing the other grain transport teams eastward. This option also has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that Sun Jian's army

You can temporarily avoid the tough nut in front of you and use the mobility advantage of the cavalry to continue pursuing forward. You can always find other troop transport teams. It is impossible for every troop transport team to find the terrain that is so good for defense.

Location.

And this is not a tough nut to crack. There is no chance at all. As mentioned before, Sun Jianjun always has the initiative to attack. Transporting troops is just a matter of catching a turtle in an urn. Sooner or later, it will be able to defeat it. Even if it cannot be defeated, as long as it is

The purpose of cutting off military supplies in front of Han Sui has been achieved, and it is Han Sui's army that should be anxious, not Sun Jian's army.

But this choice also has disadvantages for Sun Jian. On the one hand, Sun Jian must divide his troops. The number of two thousand cavalry is not large. Even if only 500 are allocated to besiege this troop transport team, Sun Jian's remaining

The army only has 1,500 cavalry, and if he continues to advance eastward, he may encounter the main force that Han Sui has rescued. Therefore, this choice is very risky. Han Sui's main force is also mainly cavalry.

And a large part of them are Qiang cavalry who are very good at riding and shooting. Although Sun Jian's cavalry can be considered elite, their combat effectiveness may not be stronger than Han Sui's cavalry. Moreover, due to the huge disadvantage in numbers, they can only escape.

A portion.

After all, whether Xiang Yu or Sun Jian, their main combat goal is to cut off Han Sui's logistical food supply. Now they have initially achieved this, but Han Sui's troops will definitely launch a counterattack in the future. At this time, the greatest extent

The best choice is to preserve your own combat power and avoid fighting Han Sui's main force. As long as Xiang Yu and Sun Jian's thousands of cavalry exist, Han Sui's rear food supply will be very tight. The longer the delay, the more Han Sui's

The morale of the main force will become even worse.

But even though Sun Jian knew very well what his main combat goal was, because he wanted to gain more military exploits than Xiang Yu, he was unlikely to be satisfied with just achieving the original basic goal.

I am relatively confident in my battlefield command ability. On the one hand, my brain is occupied by the desire to win, so it is very possible to take the risk of attacking eastward.

On the other hand, Sun Jian may not be willing to waste too much time and strength on the defensive troop transport team, so this situation leads to Sun Jian's third option.

That is to give up the attack on this troop transport completely, leaving only a few dozen or even a hundred cavalry to keep vigilance and reconnaissance against this troop transport, and all the other troops will follow Sun Jian to the east.

In this case, Sun Jian must have a strong desire to take risks. If he succeeds, he may achieve great military exploits, which will help him win the competition with Xiang Yu and satisfy his desire to win.

And if it fails, for example, if it encounters a counterattack by Han Sui's main force, then his cavalry-based army will still have a chance to retreat. After all, as long as Sun Jian is not feverish, the cavalry will chase the cavalry, and so will Han Sui's army.

There is no advantage. On the contrary, sometimes the smaller party is more likely to break up into parts, use guerrilla tactics, use small forces to contain the enemy's large forces, and then take advantage of the opportunity to fight with more and less in local areas to earn battle losses.

Of course, it is difficult to say whether Sun Jian's troops have such superb tactics and execution capabilities, but this is one way.

However, the risk of this choice is definitely the highest. First of all, Sun Jian's troops are already in the state after a long-distance attack. The entire army is exhausted. If they continue to pursue rashly in this state, it is difficult to guarantee how many troops there are left.

In terms of combat power, when Han Sui's main force counterattacks, it is very likely that the large army will be defeated. In that case, no matter how powerful Sun Jian is, he will be unable to recover. The entire army will be dispersed and there will be no chance.

Reintegrate.

At the same time, if the situation is unfavorable, the unsolved troop transport team in the rear will also become a stumbling block in the rear. And the most critical point is that once Sun Jian's army is defeated, then Han Sui's plan to cut off the food transport line in the rear

That's half the battle. On the one hand, Han Sui's main force will be able to replenish food in time after retreating. In addition, Sun Jian's defeat will focus all the pressure on Xiang Yu, which will make the already extremely difficult strategy even more difficult.

difficulty.

There was a long debate between Sun Jian and his soldiers about these three strategies. The main point of the debate was whether to go all-out eastward or to attack the grain transport team in front of him with all-out force. That is to say, the first type was mainly used.

The difference between the choice and the third option is that not many people mentioned the second option. After all, in the eyes of many people, there is not much difference between leaving 500 people and leaving dozens of people. Either all of them leave, or

Keep them all, this is what these soldiers want.

Of course, Sun Jian and a small number of the main combatants tended to the third option, but most of Sun Jian's soldiers still preferred the first option, of course because they were not like Sun Jian who was thinking about peace.

When Xiang Yu went to fight, it was obviously safer and more in line with their original combat goal to choose the first strategy, which was to destroy and delay Han Sui's rear food supply for as long as possible.

In their opinion, a head-on conflict with Han Sui was definitely the next choice. They really couldn't figure out why Sun Jian would support the third strategy. But after all, Sun Jian was the leader of this army, so in the face of more opposition,

Next, Sun Jian could not forcefully implement the third strategy, so he had to break up the meeting for the time being, while he drank alone in the tent.
