Normally, a horse camp with the same number of war horses occupies a much larger area than an infantry camp. It also has some other requirements, such as being closer to a water source to facilitate the washing of war horses, etc.
Therefore, the small area designated by Fei Qian is on the other side of the hillside, a piece of gentle ground along a small stream. At a glance, it is indeed a good area, which can facilitate the rest of the war horses, but in fact it is small because of the small area.
The woods on the other side of the stream are still a little far away from the infantry camp, which means that the safety of this area is actually not high, and it may even be attacked by sneak attacks in the woods opposite.
Zhang Liao himself was very capable of commanding the army. In addition, although the sand table in the Chinese army's tent was simple, it could generally reflect the mountains and terrain, so Zhang Liao immediately felt that this position was not very appropriate.
Of course, the most important reason is that the number of horse troops is not large.
Although the road from Hanzhong to Sichuan and Shu used gunpowder to open up some dangerous mountain roads, the quantity of gunpowder was not very large and the power was not very powerful. Therefore, it was not possible to directly dig tunnels like later generations. Simplicity is only a relative term.
, the war horses entering Sichuan were naturally restricted, and the number was not large. The horse army under Zhang Liao's control at this time was only 650 people.
If there are one or two thousand more, or just double the number, Zhang Liao will set up two horse camps not far apart, like left and right wings to guard the infantry camp in the middle. Even if any place is attacked
During an attack, the cavalry army can quickly gather and attack quickly. However, the overall number of the cavalry army is now small. Every time it is damaged, its strength is reduced by one point, so naturally it cannot be the same as thousands of cavalry.
A pattern for setting up camp.
"Lord, what are you..."
Zhang Liao didn't believe that Fei Qian had been trying to figure it out for a long time before he went to the sand table, choosing from left to right, but ended up choosing a flawed place to set up his horse camp, so Zhang Liao was also quite confused.
"If he were an ordinary Sichuan and Shu general, he might not care about me waiting for the Ma Army, but..." Fei Qian pondered, and said slowly, "Liu Xuande has lived in Youbei for a long time, so he naturally knows the wonderful use of the Ma Army... If he learns this
If there is any flaw, we use rockets to intrude and destroy it through water...especially during a confrontation..."
Zhang Liao nodded and said: "That's right. If the two armies are facing each other and the cavalry army is attacked, there will be chaos. Even if they are restrained again, they will probably lose the opportunity to fight. It cannot be said that other fronts will be implicated..."
"If this army wants to attack the horse camp without being discovered by our infantry camp, it must bypass this mountainous area and then enter this woodland..." Fei Qian gestured with his hand on the sand table, "Wenyuan
Have you noticed...Normally speaking, if there are scouts from the other side, observing from the infantry camp in front, it is difficult to see this horse camp due to the obstacles of the mountains and the camp..."
"Unless the other party sets up sentries on this mountainous area!" Zhang Liao said, pointing to a hilltop above the sand table.
Fei Qian smiled and said: "Colonel Ling has sent people to survey the surrounding mountains, and there is no trace of Liu Xuande's soldiers."
Zhang Liao seemed to be a little confused, a little dizzy from being surrounded, and frowned and said, "My lord, what I mean is..."
"Today someone assigned Lieutenant Liu to go out to the camp to survey the landform..." Fei Qian still smiled, but his eyes flickered, and said, "Wen Yuan might as well pay attention to the number of people entering and leaving the camp... However, please don't make any announcement..."
Zhang Liao's eyes turned cold and he said: "My lord is talking about Captain Liu..."
"The county defense map sent by Lieutenant Liu is really detailed, even the number of soldiers and the placement of equipment..." Fei Qian unfolded the county defense map sent by Liu Li and pointed to it.
Some very specific signs said, "And Lieutenant Liu once said that he was transferred from central Sichuan to the county for only three days..."
According to Liu Li, it was because Liu Bei was suspicious and planned to let Liu Li serve as the vanguard of the Right Camp and the first wave of attack suicide squads. In addition, some people in the Right Camp were dissatisfied with Liu Bei, so Liu Li took advantage of the opportunity.
Inciting these people to cause rebellion, he and his men broke out of the camp and fled to Guanghan.
In terms of overall logic, there doesn't seem to be any big problem, but Zhang Song's map of entering Sichuan was probably consciously prepared soon after Liu Zhang came to power. No matter how long it took to draw, at least the investigation and sorting would take a long time.
, and Liu Li had only been in the county for three or five days, and he was able to figure out the county's defenses and draw them up?
Could it be said that Liu Li is really a spy wizard who is rare in a century?
Things that seem normal may not necessarily be without problems, but if there are some abnormal things, there is probably a problem. Therefore, Fei Qian specially stepped up the strangulation of Liu Bei's scouts, and coincidentally discovered that the scouts sent by Liu Bei actually
Not the relatively weaker ordinary scouts from Sichuan and Shu before, but Danyang veterans...
This is somewhat interesting.
Yesterday, under Ling Jie's powerful strangulation and ambush, Liu Bei probably lost nearly a hundred Danyang veterans. What could these Danyang veterans do wrong? Do they have to be sacrificed in the scout battle?
Are these Danyang soldiers more valuable in positional warfare or in scout warfare?
Some people may think that this is a matter of opinion, but the problem is that Liu Bei also has Dongzhou soldiers, Sichuan and Shu troops, and recruited people. Fei Qian does not believe that these soldiers are loyal to Liu Bei and can all be like a game.
All of them are worth it...
The biggest difference between reality and the game is that not only generals have loyalty, but also soldiers. Fei Qian himself uses various methods, including the honor system, preferential treatment, military honors, casualty aftermath and other measures to
In order to be able to generally guarantee the loyalty of his soldiers to the tricolor flag, Liu Bei has just arrived in Sichuan and Shu, so soon, can he completely win over the soldiers of all different factions?
Fei Qian didn't believe it.
Is it necessary to use Danyang soldiers to just reconnoiter Feiqian's general location, approximate number of soldiers, etc.? Not necessarily. Danyang soldiers must be Liu Bei's most trusted and loyal force, and such a force is only used as a scout.
To be consumed, not to be used as the skeleton of soldiers to manage and coordinate various factions? So from this point of view, there must be a reason why Liu Bei uses Danyang soldiers as scouts.
And is this reason...
"There must be a mystery in this matter..."
So, Fei Qian was ready to test it out.
………………………………
"There must be a mystery in this matter..." Kuai Qi also frowned and said, "In the expedition to the west and the people to Anhan, there must be a treacherous plot..."
Kuai Qi was confused by Wei Yan's move and was at a loss. Although she thought about it for a long time, Kuai Qi still didn't quite understand what kind of medicine was sold in Wei Yan's gourd under Zheng Xi's command...
Expelling the population and destroying surrounding villages, Kuai Qi believes that this is no big deal.
In war, of course, all means are used.
Before the Spring and Autumn Period, why wars were so polite and full of rules and etiquette was mainly because of the social production conditions and population constraints at that time, not because of any changes in people's character and conduct...
Imagine that before the Spring and Autumn Period, the principality was so large and the people's production capacity was so low. If the damage was too great and the land taken was not enough manpower to cultivate, it would be meaningless. In addition, most of the wars occurred, which was actually the result of the Zhou Dynasty.
When there is a conflict between feudal aristocratic families and no one can convince the other, just fight to see whose fist is stronger and then listen to whoever has the strongest fist.
Naturally, he is more disciplined.
Then in the late Spring and Autumn Period and the rise of the Warring States Period, although that grandson was not the first to use vaginal legs, he was the first to summarize the thirty-six ways to use vaginal legs...
In addition, China's population had also increased a lot at that time, and it was enough to squander it for a while. Therefore, tactics to attack the opponent's productivity and weaken the opponent's strength, thereby winning the war, emerged in endlessly and developed by leaps and bounds.
In the late Warring States period, it became a norm to trap and kill at every turn. Just like Bai Qi, who had been criticized for a long time, if Zhao Guo had not been trapped and killed by Zhao Guo's young and strong men, Zhao Guo would not have fallen from the quasi-first class all of a sudden.
To the third-rate vassal states.
Therefore, it is not a problem that Wei Yan used this method. The problem is what is the purpose of Zhengxi sending Wei Yan here to do such a thing, invade Anhan and expel the people?
Kuai Qi sent out some scouts, but soon the scouts were injured, disabled, and dead. Apart from bringing Wei Yan and others who were approaching step by step, there was not much special information. Later, when the scouts came
The disability was serious. Secondly, Kuai Qi also believed that Wei Yan was coming for Anhan, so he did not continue to send out scouts. He closed the city gate tightly and strictly checked the refugees to prevent Wei Yan's troops from mixing in and taking advantage of the chaos.
City or something.
However, there is still a question in Kuai Qi's mind.
Is it just like what Wei Yan claimed that the people gave money and food to Liu Qi but not to Zhengxi just to retaliate against these people?
Is it possible to be a fool?
Who would believe such a ridiculous reason?
Are these copycat villages located near Anhan still sending their money and food all the way, well, hundreds of miles to Guanghan where the troops of the Western Conquest are located?
Obviously unreasonable.
However, this unreasonable reason was used as a cover by Wei Yan, who was under Zheng Xi's command. What was it for? Or was it to cover up?
If it was just to create refugees, Kuai Qi wouldn't be afraid.
A large number of people arrived in Anhan, which caused some trouble for Kuai Qi, but it was not a big one. Although it is said that after collecting money and food from these people, they should assume certain protection responsibilities for each other, but the problem is that these people are originally
The people in Badong, Sichuan, are not from Jingxiang, so they can just mean it. Who would really care about the life and death of these people?
In order to reduce the burden, Kuai Qi sent people to declare that the pain these people were facing now was entirely caused by Zheng Xi, without mentioning the lack of protection on his own part, and directed all his hatred towards Zheng Xi, and another aspect.
He began to loudly declare how difficult Anhan was, how empty the food and grass were, how difficult it was for him to gather a little bit of supplies, and then naturally reduced the supplies of various items...
As a result, these refugees outside the city were naturally in trouble. They had no food, no clothing, no shelter, and were miserable. They also hated Zhengxi very much.
Kuai Qi thought she had handled the situation well. If the expedition to the west really sent Wei Yan to attack Anhan, who knows what kind of death squads these refugees could become. They would attack and consume Wei Yan's troops on their own initiative. Wouldn't it be beautiful?
Behind the unbearable pain of the refugees, the sit-down tigers in Anhan City are now smiling. Secretly, I don’t know how much I want to thank Zhengxi Weiyan for doing this, otherwise I wouldn’t have chosen several sisters to spend money.
Some people even picked up twins and prepared to train them for three or four years. Whether they kept them for themselves or gave them away to others, they were all excellent. After hearing the news about the others, they were so greedy that they looked at them every day.
In the name of disaster relief, they go to residential areas outside the city to buy people with some small favors.
There are people who want young and strong men, and there is no shortage of pretty girls. As for those old and weak people who are not wanted, when the hoard reaches a certain amount, Kuai Qi will find an excuse to say that these people are causing trouble. She doesn't even need to make excuses, just
Declare these people to be Zhengxi spies or something, send soldiers to surround them, and slaughter them all. Then you can blame Zhengxi, and then you can save a lot of money and food.
Under such a situation, even though Liu Qi and Kuaiqi had arrived in Anhan and increased their soldiers' strength, the refugees outside the city had not yet reached the limit that the big households in Anhan could not tolerate, and many big households even felt that this
It is a God-given opportunity to make a fortune and a good opportunity to increase the population, so the Wei Yan troops are not very interested in sending troops to encircle and suppress the Western Army, and they do not support it very much...
Liu Qi and Kuai Qi, who had seen the bravery of the soldiers who conquered the West before, and suffered a big loss, did not have much courage to lead the army alone, so they sent messengers to Chengdu in central Sichuan to urge Liu Bei to come to help, while guarding
Anhan, waiting for Wei Yan to attack the city...
Three days have passed, five days have passed, seven days have passed...
Even the refugees outside the city have gradually thinned out. They no longer came to Anhan in large numbers like they did in the past few days. Now there are only a few scattered ones. It seems that the surrounding cottages have been wiped out by Wei Yan, or that Wei Yan
The offensive was stopped.
But no matter which one it was, Wei Yan and others were still nowhere to be seen under Anhan City.
Liu Qi and Kuai Qi figured it out and figured out that waiting was not an option, so they began to drive away these leftovers that had been raked over and over again by nails and had already been tasteless. They went back to their original place and let these
The guy used some of his spare energy to see where the Zhengxi troops were.
But when the people of Badong, who had been chewed to the point of losing much juice, returned, they suddenly discovered that the people who conquered the west were nowhere to be found. Even the villages that were originally thought to have been burned down and destroyed still existed, and even the villages that had been attacked before were still there.
The door has also been sealed. When you pry it open, you can see that most of the property in the village is intact...
