When the news of the Xianbei and Huns alliance attacking Mayi reached Xu Wei's ears, Xu Wei was stunned!
Are you kidding me? It was the Ling Emperor who forced you Huns to rebel. You don't bother the Ling Emperor or Dong Zhuo. You all rush towards Mayi. What country's principle is this?
But even if Xu Wei couldn't figure it out, he still had to face the four-way siege of the 140,000-strong coalition of Xianbei and Huns!
Mayi, General Staff Hall!
Xu Wei once again summoned all the senior officials in Mayi!
"These Huns ate too many sheep and lost their heads! You who rebelled against the Ling Emperor actually attacked us in Mayi! Is there such a truth in the world?" Xu Wei is also a good-tempered person, but he also has a good temper.
I was offended by the Huns' slutty tricks. It's really hard to farm with peace of mind!
The generals who came here were secretly happy. They saw the raging war in Youzhou and had long wanted to go to war. However, Xu Wei kept suppressing them. Now the Xianbei and Huns came to die on their own initiative. The generals in Mayi were happy.
I almost jumped.
Wang Yong was the first to say: "Shuai Qu, we want to teach the Huns and Xianbei a lesson, otherwise they would think that we in Mayi are easy to mess with!"
Ning Chen also shouted: "The Huns are now a down-and-out phoenix, not as good as a chicken. The territory they occupy is no more than one county, and their tribesmen are only 400,000 to 500,000. Their tribesmen are not as much as half of our population in Mayi.
If you still dare to attack our city of Mayi, Qu Shuai simply asked us to occupy Xihe County to solve this serious problem of the Huns!"
Mayi's caravans penetrated far and wide. Whether they were Xianbei people or Huns on the grasslands, these caravans brought a lot of intelligence. Especially after the Tengjia Army occupied Shuofang and Wuyuan County, they were considered to have been conquered by the Huns and Xianbei people.
They were attacked from both sides, so they would naturally pay attention to the intelligence of the Huns and Xianbei people. The Xianbei people thought that the territory was vast and sparsely populated, so they did not get much intelligence, but the Huns were basically concentrated in Xihe County, so intelligence was naturally easy to obtain!
Wang Ge also followed up and said: "Ning Chen is right. Commander Qu, we must completely control the Hetao Plain. The Huns are a scourge that must be dealt with. It just so happens that they have come to our door this time. Let's simply destroy the Southern Huns!"
"Destroy the Southern Huns!"
"Destroy the Southern Huns!" Mayi's generals naturally did not want the Huns to continue to lead Bingzhou.
Although Xu Wei felt that this would disturb his plan to accumulate grain, but now that he had taken action, it was natural to kill all the enemies!
Xu Wei stopped their shouting and said: "Let's understand the situation first, and then think about how to deal with the Xiongnu and Xianbei coalition forces."
Xu Wei pulled apart a piece of gauze, and a huge sand table was revealed in front of everyone. The center of the map was Mayi, and it was dotted with counties and counties in Bingzhou and Youzhou. It even went hundreds of miles deep into the grassland, covering the grasslands on the grassland.
Helian, the mountains appeared one by one surrounding the map in the hall. After Xu Wei proposed the sand table, Mayi spent a lot of manpower and material resources to collect the surrounding terrain. It took more than a year to create this full-scale model of the sand table.
It can be said that with this sand table, the generals present can clearly understand the terrain, location, and the situation of the enemy and ourselves on the battlefield!
This time it is Wang Ge who helps everyone understand the situation of the war!
Wang Ge took out several models of Hu cavalry and placed them on the sand table and said: "Judging from the information obtained now, these Xianbei and Huns' attack on us has been premeditated. The Huns cavalry is divided into 80,000.
Two groups, one group with 40,000 troops attacked Luo County in Dingxiang County, one group with 40,000 people attacked Jiling County in Yunzhong County. At the same time, the Xianbei people in the west sent 60,000 troops, one group with 30,000 cavalry to attack Wuyuan City, and the other group with 30,000 cavalry attacked Wuyuan City.
Ten thousand cavalry attacked Linrong in Shuofang County, and now we are facing a combined force of 140,000 Xianbei and Huns!"
Wang Ge took stock of the situation on the battlefield and began to think deeply.
To be honest, the coalition forces of the Huns and Xianbei cannot scare everyone, and everyone is confident that they can defeat each other. However, Wang Lei of Shuofang County and Zhao Rong of Wuyuan County are in a bit of trouble. They only have 5,000 cavalry, even if they can recruit some
Militia, but there is a high possibility that they will not be able to defeat the 60,000 Xianbei people.
Xu Wei looked at the situation on the sand table and said: "The most important thing for us now is not how to eliminate the Huns, but how to rescue Zhao Rong from Wuyuan County and Wang Lei from Shuofang County. Especially Wang Lei is more than 2,000 miles away from Mayi, with the middle
There are also Huns and Xianbei who are blocking our rescue. I'm afraid we won't be able to get reinforcements to support them for a month or two. How can the 5,000 cavalry in their hands be the opponent of the 30,000 Xianbei cavalry!"
Hearing Xu Wei's words, Old Man Wang was worried that he only had such a son. If Wang Lei died in the battle, then the man with white hair would really give up to the man with black hair.
Everyone felt really embarrassed when they saw Shuofang County, which was more than 2,000 miles away. If we marched along the Yellow River, it would be faster to rely on the Yellow River water transport. Unfortunately, there were three large armies blocking the way. Another way was to take a detour through the desert.
After passing through the territory of the Xianbei people, the cavalry can support Shuofang County in up to a month. Unfortunately, such external support is too dangerous. If the Xianbei people divide a small force to delay the reinforcements from Mayi, I am afraid that such a large army will take 2-3 months.
There was no time to reach Shuofang County. The distance of more than 2,000 miles was too convenient for the Xianbei people to fight guerrilla warfare.
Wang Yong thought for a while and said: "Commander Qu, the plan for now is to let Wang Lei strengthen the wall and clear the country, and attack all the troops in Linrong. If we just defend the city, 5,000 troops plus tens of thousands of troops will be enough to hold on for several months."
We in Mayi mobilized all our troops and divided them into two groups, attacking the Huns in Luo County and Jiling. We tried to defeat the Huns in both groups in one battle, and then supported them with more than 100,000 troops.
Wuyuan County, as long as we can fight quickly, we should be able to rescue Wang Lei before the Xianbei people attack Shuofang County!"
When Xu Wei heard Wang Yong's suggestion, he just went all the way to clear the level. If he said this, it would be the same as if he didn't!
There were hundreds of thousands of troops along the way. If the Huns and Xianbei people wanted to delay, it would be easy to delay it for a year and a half. You must know that in the famous Battle of Guandu in later generations, Cao Cao delayed Yuan Shao for more than half a year.
If it weren't for Cao Cao's own lack of food and grass, it would have been easy to delay for another year and a half relying on the natural dangers of the Yellow River.
There is also the famous Battle of Changping. Lian Po also relied on the geographical advantage to delay the powerful Qin army for three years. If Zhao State had not been short of food and grass, it would have been delayed until Bai Qi withdrew his troops. It can be said that the war of hundreds of thousands of troops
, it is the norm to play for a year and a half, but Xu Wei, who did not play for even two months, is a rare exception.
Of course, the Huns and Xianbei people do not have the strong logistics capabilities to support Xu Wei for a year and a half, but they can still do it in a few months!
After Wang Yong spoke, the army could not think of any good way to support Shuofang County because it was really too far away.
After half a day, Wang Ge said: "Commander Qu, Shuofang can only resist the Xianbei army of 30,000 people by himself. However, as long as Wang Lei strengthens the wall and clears the country, relying on the support of Linrong City and tens of thousands of tribesmen, and the Xianbei people will not attack the city,
I think it’s okay to hold on until it snows! And after it snows, the Xianbei people will naturally retreat!”
Ning Chen said: "That's right! The Qushuai Xianbei people don't know how to attack the city at all. Qushuai will not forget that last year, the Xianbei army of 100,000 people did not break through the Pingcheng Wubao with 3,000 people stationed, although the Rongcheng was not as strong as Pingcheng Wubao.
, but Wang Lei has more troops than Pingcheng Wubao, and these Xianbei people only have 30,000 people. No matter how you look at it, Linrong City will not be easily defeated by the Xianbei people!"
However, Huang Long, who had been behind him, said: "Qu Shuai, there is nothing we can do!"
Huang Long recently became a captain. There is no way that the Tengjia Army cannot retain talents. For an experienced veteran like Huang Long, after learning the various systems of the Tengjia Army, he was promoted very quickly. After graduating from the military academy, he became the commander of the village, and Xianbei
After a battle, he was promoted two levels to become a military commander. After attacking Yanmen Pass, he was promoted one level to a captain. Of course, the rapid promotion was also related to Xu Wei's intention to promote. After all, there were officers with combat experience in the Tengjia Army.
It’s so rare. Huang Long is also a third-rate general who appears in the game!
Xu Wei heard this and asked: "What can I do?"
Huang Long said: "Last year we fought against the Xianbei people, and everyone was worried that they were no match for the Xianbei people, so they asked Wang Lei to attack Handan Mountain and cut off Helian's food route. Now, although the situation is different, the same strategy can be used
, this year we have severely damaged the Xianbei people in the west, and with the Xianbei people we absorbed, the Xianbei people in the entire west have lost 100,000 tribesmen, and now they have sent out 60,000 young men, so the Xianbei people in the west should not have any troops in the desert.
We are on the defensive. We only need to send a battalion of 5,000 cavalry to the Xianbei people's territory in the west to cause chaos. I'm afraid these Xianbei people will retreat immediately if they know the news."
"In this way, the only ones we have to face are the Huns, and with the strength of our Tengjia Army, it should be easy to annihilate the 80,000 Huns army!"
When Xu Wei heard this plan, he immediately applauded!
Damn it! After becoming stronger, he even forgot the strategies he used last year. Sure enough, as muscles grow, the brain will shrink.
When other generals saw Xu Wei applauding, they also applauded too!
Xu Weidao: "I will give you 10,000 cavalry, are you sure you can force the Xianbei people to retreat after they break Linrong City?"
Huang Long said: "Commander Qu gave me a few generals who are familiar with the Xianbei grasslands in the west, and my subordinates are willing to issue military orders!"
Xu Weidao said: "There is no need to issue a military order. Our Tengjia Army is not interested in this. I will give you 10,000 cavalry, one person and three horses. All I ask is that you repel the Xianbei attack as quickly as possible!"
Huang Long said: "No!"
Xu Wei looked at the generals and said: "The Xianbei people have already found a solution. Now let's talk about how to deal with the Huns!"
Now the hall became lively. Compared with the Xianbei people, the Huns were much easier to fight.
Wang Ge said with a smile: "It's easy to deal with the Huns. As long as they cross the Yellow River, we will cut off their retreat with water, and then close the door and beat the dogs!"
Yes! There is also a navy in the Tengjia Army, but in Xu Wei's opinion, this should be called a water transport team. Fighting is secondary. It mainly helps the Tengjia Army transport goods from Mayi to other places in the Han Dynasty.
The Tengjia Army has two naval divisions with 5,000 people each. One is on the Sanggan River, and the other is on the entire Yellow River. It can be said that they are the most important force for Mayi to contact the outside world.
Wang Yong said confidently: "Then when our armored heavy cavalry charges, these tens of thousands of Huns will be defeated. I bet they will never be able to withstand the charge of our heavy cavalry!"
The armored heavy cavalry is Mayi's new ace unit. This is also thanks to the thousands of Xiliang horses that Dong Zhuo sold to Xu Wei.
.
After Xu Wei got these horses, he organized 3,000 armored heavy cavalry. As soon as such heavy cavalry appeared, they were loved by the people in Mayi. The armored horses were like ancient mythical beasts. When every general saw these horses,
They all caressed her as if they were their own daughters-in-law, and vowed to ride such a war horse.
In order to compete for the captain of the heavy cavalry battalion, it can be said that the entire group of captains in Mayi competed several times. Many relatives and friends turned against each other, fought, and made many jokes, just to become the chief officer of this army!
Finally, after Xu Wei thought for a long time, he decided to let Duan Peng, who was from Xianbei, become the captain of the armored heavy cavalry.
Duan Peng was the Xianbei soldier who killed Helian on the battlefield. Because he had made great achievements in beheading generals, especially as a big Xianbei man, he was arranged by Xu Wei to study at the Mayi Military Academy. After he came out, he directly became a military officer.
Sima was promoted to captain half a year later, but no Mayi generals objected, even if he was from Xianbei.
In this era, the military merit system of the Warring States Period has not been completely disintegrated. The entire Han Dynasty attaches great importance to military merit. There are two types of achievements that have made the greatest contributions on the battlefield and are the most convincing. One is to kill generals and capture flags;
Climbing the city first, these are the two heaviest achievements and the most difficult one to achieve. It requires not only strength, but also luck. Luck is even more important than strength!
Let’s talk about beheading generals and seizing the flag first. The Three Kingdoms have been fighting for more than 100 years, but Guan Yu is the only general who can behead generals and capture flags. There is also Huang Zhongding’s army in the mountain and beheading Xiahou. Guan Yu’s commanding ability is hard to say, but he is really fierce.
fierce.
There is also the merit of climbing first. If a thousand people rush up, they may not be able to stand alone. In the history of the Three Kingdoms, there are many cities that have not been conquered even after tens of thousands of people died. Even because they could not conquer the city, everyone simply besieged it.
For example, Yuan Shao besieged Gongsun Zan's Peiping for more than a year. Cao Cao also besieged Lu Bu in Xiapi and failed to break through the city even with water attacks. This shows how difficult the city was to break in this era. Therefore, the merit of being first is important, and it is important enough that the soldiers can
Forget about death!
Duan Peng killed He Lian and could be granted a title of marquis in the Han Dynasty for his merits, but now Duan Peng is only allowed to quickly become a captain, so naturally no one will have much objection.
And Xu Wei found that the Xianbei and other Hu people already accounted for one-third of the Tengjia Army. The Hu people were becoming more and more important in the Tengjia Army. In order to make these Hu people high in fighting spirit, Xu Wei naturally had to
It’s time to promote a role model, and Duan Peng is the role model set by Xu Wei.
