Chapter 3476 Plans
Although there are more fire on Zhongtiao Mountain, it still cannot stop the arrival of darkness.
Fei Qian tried his best to observe the situation of the Zhongtiaoshan camp of Cao's army, but the distance was far away and the light was insufficient, making it difficult for Fei Qian to see the specific movements of Cao's army clearly even if he had a telescope. He could only see the flames shaking, light and dark.
More than a dozen messengers were walking back and forth like a lantern, reporting military information one after another:
"Report! New troops appeared in the enemy's East Camp! About eight hundred!"
"Report! There are about a thousand soldiers dispatched from the enemy's central camp! Go east!"
『Report! The flag of the enemy general has not moved!』
"Report! Win the head of the enemy's first military academy!"
『Report…』
A series of military newspapers gradually pieced together the changes in the entire battle situation of the Zhongtiaoshan Camp in Fei Qian's mind.
Fei Qian closed his eyes and thought.
Fei Qian was a little surprised at the current situation.
The changes in Cao's army in Zhongtiaoshan camp seemed to be different from what Fei Qian had expected before.
The Cao army soldiers were indeed a little broken, but they did not collapse too much.
Fei Qian felt that this phenomenon may be related to Cao Cao's attempt to reform and change the military system.
Fei Qian believed that the soldiers of Cao's army who were relatively lower-class, and the Central Leadership and Central Guards might be relatively better.
Morale is not a fixed value, but a range, or a state.
Just like some people have a higher lower limit, while others have no lower limit...
Coincidentally, people who have no lower limits will destroy the lower limits of the entire society and the country.
Just like a big man.
There are many problems with the big man, and there are many things that are created by a guy with no limit...
Fei Qian's potential reform of the military system, and Lao Cao also made some moves.
The Central Guards of Lao Cao's Central Army were actually made in the imitation of the military system of Emperor Wu of Han. The names may be different, but they are generally the same.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the lieutenant was in charge of the Northern Army, and the emperor did not directly control the military power. By the time of Emperor Wu, the lieutenant disappeared and became the Jinwu. The eight lieutenants were set up in Zhonglei, trench cavalry, infantry, Yue cavalry, Changshui, Huqi, Shooting, and Huben were set up. Moreover, these eight lieutenants were out of control of Jinwu and directly obeyed the emperor. Zhonglei was originally a subordinate of the lieutenant. After the Hanwu period, Zhonglei was changed to Zhonglei's lieutenant, and Zhonglei's lieutenant was in charge of affairs in the Northern Army camp. Their power was higher than that of the other seven lieutenants, but the seven lieutenants and Zhonglei's lieutenants did not constitute a subordinate relationship.
At this time, the imperial power was greatly strengthened, and the central Northern Army, the strength of the imperial guards, could suppress the powerful people in other counties across the country, and dare not act rashly...
So in the late period of Emperor Wu of Han, all the great scholars in the local area were saying in unison that "military military force" harmed people and country...
Emperor Wu of Han was old, he compromised and issued an edict to blame himself.
During the confrontation between imperial power and local tyrants, local forces gradually rose. By the Eastern Han Dynasty, the officials of the Jinwu family had only the arsenal order and two hundred ti cavalry, five hundred halberds, and all the rest were abolished.
Later, Emperor Ling of Han also wanted to create an eight-campus captain, obviously he also wanted to compete with the local government...
The accelerated fall of the imperial power of the Eastern Han Dynasty was to a certain extent related to the abolition of light chariots, knights, officials, tower ships and other troops after Emperor Guangwu came to power.
Emperor Guangwu of Han was a good starting point.
Then a group of great scholars from Shandong were also crazily advocating Emperor Guangwu's benevolent politics.
Is it benevolent government?
Of course yes.
These troops are actually not professional soldiers, but militias.
Light chariots and knights are soldiers who drive chariots and horses, namely chariots and cavalry; chariots are infantry good at mountain combat; chariots are naval forces. The male Han Dynasty served in the military according to the system and entered the army. At first, they were called regular soldiers. After serving for one year, they were called guards. After serving for two years, they were divided into light chariots, knights, chariots, chariots, chariots, chariots, chariots, chariots, chariots, chariots, and other corpses according to their respective specialties.
Therefore, in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of Han dismissed light chariots, knights, officials, and boats to make him live in the people, and engage in local agricultural and commercial activities to restore the low productivity caused by years of war. This was correct and correct. Emperor Guangwu's purpose and formulated this policy was naturally determined based on the social environment at that time and comprehensive considerations. The later Mingzhang rule also proved that recuperation had a certain effect.
However, being right for a moment does not mean that you are always right!
The lack of military power, or the imbalance in handling soldiers' retirement after the disarmament, and the subsequent social environment changes and changes in the world, the failure of the Eastern Han emperor to adjust in time was the fundamental reason for the decline of imperial power and the collapse of the Northern Army until the current Eastern Han Dynasty.
Cao Cao obviously also hopes to distinguish his elite troops from local miscellaneous fish through integrated reform of the military system...
The starting point of Lao Cao is obviously also good.
But will the local tribes who are used to "freedom" be happy?
Fei Qian suddenly figured out something.
Some of his recent doubts have been answered.
However, as night falls, Fei Qian also has to make a decision.
Should we continue to attack overnight or withdraw and rest first?
If you attack overnight, you must send troops again to give Cao's army greater pressure, and strive to crush Cao's army to end the battle tonight or tomorrow morning...
It is naturally the best to be able to go smoothly, but if it is not going well, it will not be able to defeat Cao's army tomorrow noon or even tomorrow afternoon and take down Zhongtiaoshan Camp, then it is necessary to withdraw its troops. In a short period of time, at least before the siege equipment is transported, it is unlikely to organize a large-scale attack.
The reason is very simple, just like when pushing the tower, it is wide open. If it fails to push it down successfully, you can only wait until the CD cools down before hitting it.
If you choose to take advantage of a certain advantage and now take a break, you can continue to attack after tomorrow.
But withdrawing like this may also lead to the Cao army soldiers regaining their footholds. The destruction of the area camps is now re-repairing. By the day tomorrow, we will fight again and consume the troops again...
There are two options, each with its pros and cons.
This is like the changes in the military system of the Western Han Dynasty and Eastern Han Dynasty. It seems to make sense. They all deal with changes in society, but if you don’t know how to adapt...
Fei Qian opened his eyes and slowly raised his hand.
At this moment, it seemed that the noisy sounds around it disappeared.
Everyone shut their mouths and their eyes gathered on Fei Qian, looking at Fei Qian's slowly raised hand...
Fei Qian opened his palm, felt the wind in the night sky, and then quickly clenched his fist again, "Send the order! Attack overnight! Defeat the Nakajo Camp before dawn!"
All the noise seemed to have returned to the world.
The sound of war drums and horns suddenly rang out, spreading in the night wind!
"The cavalry has an order!"
"Advance! Advance according to the army's organization!"
『Wonderful victory! Ten thousand victory!』
The sound of horse hooves roared away, and Fei Qian suddenly felt a little chill on his forehead and temples and on his back.
I guess it was because it was because it was too mentally consuming to weigh the pros and cons at that moment...
Now that the chess has fallen, I just want to see how Cao's army in Zhongtiaoshan camp deal with it!
...
...
Dong Zhao had planned a rhythmic retreat before. On the one hand, he asked the soldiers to gradually retreat from the periphery to an important mountain road. On the other hand, he used the retreat of the Cao army soldiers to gradually lure the Hussars and horses to the near trap for ambush.
This can maximize the role of the original trap and severely damage the Hussars.
There are no major omissions in this plan itself.
However, plans never keep up with changes.
There was only a problem on the east side of the camp, and a new problem appeared on the west side...
The west was destroyed by the Cavalry Army, and even the front-line military academy commanding place of the Cao Army to the west was taken over by the Cavalry Cavalry!
After all, Sima is familiar with her...
When Dong Zhao received the news, he hurriedly asked the soldiers, "Where is Duan Junjiao? Where is he?"
Duan Junjiao is commanding the front line of Cao's army on duty to the west.
The messenger was in a mess, his face was covered in blood and sweat, and he looked frightened. Because he was running in a hurry, white smoke was rising from his head, rising from his chaotic bun. The triangle sign that the triangular sign was inserted behind him disappeared. I don’t know if it was touched or for some other reason, but now there is only a bare wooden pole drooping crookedly.
The messenger recognized Dong Zhao. When he saw Dong Zhao asking questions, he struggled to get up and salute, "Report to the military advisor... The two armies fought in a melee. When I came, I didn't see Duan Military Academy..."
Dong Zhao frowned and said, "Aren't you sent by Duan Junjiao?"
The messenger replied, "No, it's Chang Qu, it's Chang Qu that asked me to come and ask the Central Army to inquire!"
Dong Zhao is not familiar with Qu Chang or below.
After all, there is a layer between them.
Shandong is used to wearing condoms, one layer after another...
The contact between each other is transmitted through gloves. Although some problems are avoided, they also bring more problems.
Dong Zhao didn't know which Chang Qu Chang was talking about, and what position he had in the Western Camp. Moreover, it was not the time to ask these things now, so he didn't stop and immediately asked again: "How many horses have the cavalry soldiers come?"
"There are at least three thousand!" The messenger said with certainty, "There are no five thousand men!"
It seemed to be to strengthen the credibility of his words, the messenger quickly added, "There are one people who came out to report the news in this wave... Now I'm the only one left..."
Dong Zhao's eyes suddenly condensed.
Is the Cavalry Army going to place the main breakthrough direction to the west?
Of course, this is understandable. After all, the last time Sima Yi and Hao Zhao broke through from the west, and they were relatively familiar with the terrain of that area, and naturally became a suitable location for another breakthrough.
Dong Zhao didn't think there was any problem with this, but the question was whether this was the main force of the Cavalry Army?
Dongying Gate was also howling and saying that it was the main force of the cavalry. Which side is the real one?
Now lure the Hussars into the trap, or wait for another wave?
In an instant, this series of questions rushed into Dong Zhao's mind, making him feel a little hot and swollen even in the cold winter night.
Dong Zhao took a deep breath, tried hard to calm his beating heart, and asked calmly: "You make it clear! How many enemy troops are there? Three thousand or Five thousand?"
The messenger hesitated for a moment, but he quickly said: "I don't know that there are at least three thousand! There are all in all directions, and the black cavalry is full of the cavalry!"
"Have you seen the banner raised by the Cavalry Army?" Dong Zhao asked again.
"Sima! It's the Sima last time!" the messenger replied.
『Sima…』
Dong Zhao felt that he understood.
No need to continue asking...
Dong Zhao waved his hand and asked someone to take the messenger down for a rest. Then he took the pen and ink and hurriedly wrote a sloppy book and newspaper storyline, and handed it to his guard, asking him to send it to Cao Cao immediately.
The guard beside Dong Zhao whispered: "Military advisor, the cavalry army is coming in full force. Should we retreat to the mountain first... The soldier just now said that the cavalry army has many troops... If the central circle is lost and the road is congested, it will be difficult to leave at that time!"
Before the guard could finish his words, he was interrupted by Dong Zhao, "No. If we move at this moment, other local military academies will inevitably follow the changes, and then the entire battalion...
Dong Zhao didn't finish speaking, but everyone understood the meaning.
Although the Zhongtiaoshan camp in Cao's army is divided into three layers inside and outside, and there are also silhouettes and arrow towers between each camp, whether it is a camp or a silhouette, people need to be on guard or guard. Otherwise, it will be no different from dead bodies such as mountain rocks that cannot move. Therefore, even if you cannot defend it, you cannot mess up your position, disrupt the establishment and interfere with the deployment. At that time, the entire army collapses, which is comparable to idols' houses collapse. No matter what military advisors are, it's expensive to run together!
The guard grinned, but he had to say something no matter what, "Military advisor, the outer circle will not be protected sooner or later, and the middle circumference may not be reliable. Even if the people in the outer circle retreat, they may not be willing to fight against the cavalry. If you want to defend, you can only retreat to a high place... Otherwise, when you really want to retreat, it will be over..."
Dong Zhao also knew that the guard was kind-hearted. He looked up at the mountains and was silent for a while, but still did not order the position to be transferred. It was not that he did not want to retreat or was willing to take risks, but that he could only be here now!
Dong Zhao is not very popular in Shandong.
This is related to Dong Zhao's behavior...
Simply put, it is the four words "using any means".
The sun has fallen to the horizon.
The last red light disappeared, and the earth fell into darkness.
The firelight became more and more lonely and deep in the night.
The day has passed and the night is coming.
It's like the future of Zhongtiao Mountain.
"Go and call Cheng Captain!"
Dong Zhao ordered.
Captain Cheng is here.
Captain Cheng was injured. One arm was not hung on his armour, but was bandaged and covered with black blood. Under the shaking light and fire, some of the armor and robes were dark in color, and some of the colors were light in color. When they were close, a bloody smell came to his nose.
"No need to be polite." Dong Zhao waved his hand and asked the captain Cheng not to be polite, and then he said straight to the point, "How many people do you have under him?"
Captain Cheng was stunned for a moment.
He is so miserable, why don’t Dong Zhao let him go?
But he had to answer, so he had to say: "There are only more than 500 people left in his subordinates..."
"Enough!" Dong Zhao said, then took out a map from his arms, asked the guard to draw the flame closer, pointed to a place on the map, and said to Captain Cheng, "Do you know here?"
Captain Cheng used the fire to identify the map and saw several points marked on the map. He couldn't help but jumped, "This... is this a deserted mountain?"
Dong Zhao nodded, "If you go to Xiying Gate, if you can find Duan Military Academy, you will lead the troops to retreat here with him... If you can't find Duan Military Academy, you will be authorized to act for Xiying, temporarily take charge of the soldiers in Xiying, and retreat here... Do you understand?"
Captain Cheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Military advisor, is this... want me to lure the enemy to the deserted mountain concave?"
For some reason, Captain Cheng was panicked.
The war in the era of cold weapons depends on one move and the bloody courage of the soldiers.
Let alone blood bravery now, the east and west camps are in panic now. Even if the Cao army soldiers below have not reached the level of a frightened bird, they are still exhausted!
Even if you stay in the camp, you can't withstand the attack of the cavalry. You still have to think about seducing the main force of the enemy?
How can I fight this battle and attract the enemy?
I am afraid that the cavalry troops did not come, so I scattered in a hurry.
Dong Zhao ignored the painful appearance of the captain Cheng's painful embarrassment and continued: "I took my people around here to the deserted mountain depression. When the Hussars arrived, they would launch an ambush! Make this place the burial place for the enemy generals!"
Captain Cheng grunted for a moment, "Military advisor, even if I lead the troops to lure them, the enemy may not be trapped! Didn't the enemy not enter the mountain last time?"
"This time and another time, the last time the enemy general came in the day..." Dong Zhao said, "What's more, this time the enemy was not invading the war, but had the momentum to break through our camp in one fell swoop. As long as you attract the enemy, the enemy will inevitably fall into a trap!"
Captain Cheng's face was covered with blood and dirt, covering his expression, but he stared at his eyes and said for a moment: "The military advisor's plan is naturally very good, but... I am worried that I have very few soldiers and the West Camp is in chaos. Even if I take people down, I am afraid that I can't stand it and can't carry it..."
As for why he couldn't stand it, he didn't say anything. Cheng Zheng knew that Dong Zhao must understand what he was talking about. He hoped that Dong Zhao would at least give him a better solution, or equip him with more troops, so that he would feel a little safe.
But Dong Zhao just looked at him coldly, "Captain Cheng, are you afraid to fight? Or do you want to resist the order and refuse to obey?"
"How dare the young man?!" Captain Cheng had no choice but to say what he thought, "If the soldiers from Xiying lure the cavalry army into the shortlist, would the young man go to the deserted mountains to ambush?"
"No!" Dong Zhao rejected Captain Cheng's suggestion without hesitation. "The soldiers in Xiying were beaten by enemy generals once before, and they were exhausted both physically and mentally. In addition, Duan Junjiao did not know life and death, so it was difficult to control! Now you can only succeed if you seduce the thief army!"
Captain Cheng had no choice but to make the last attempt, "Military advisor, can you fight later? The soldiers fought for a long time, but there was no rest..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted coldly by Dong Zhao: "Does the soldiers and soldiers not be able to fight, or do you dare not fight?"
Dong Zhao stared at Captain Cheng, "I said something a bit heavy, Captain Cheng, don't mind... But Captain Cheng's family is in Yingchuan, right? When the lord was awarded merit and title in Yingchuan, I remember what Captain Cheng said? Could it be that what he said back then, and now he forgot it?"
Captain Cheng was so ashamed that he was ashamed of Dong Zhao's words. He trumped for a long time, stood up straight again, and clenched his fists and smashed it hard on the blade of armor on his chest: "Don't worry, military advisor! A small... a humble position will never let down the lord!!"
Chapter completed!
