Chapter 147 Yanjin is in trouble, reinforcements come across the river
Chapter 147 The capture of Yanjin is difficult, reinforcements are coming across the river
Of all the things in this world, some are easy, some are difficult. There are many more that are not so clear-cut. It is easy to do at the beginning, but becomes more difficult as you go, and may even become an "impossible task."
”.
For example, stuff the elephant into the refrigerator.
This work is divided into four steps:
1. Find an elephant;
2. Buy a refrigerator;
3. Open the refrigerator;
4. Stuff the elephant inside.
The first three steps are very easy, the difficulty lies in the fourth step.
And "Capture Yanjin" is almost the same.
1. Gather an army;
2. Come to Yanjin;
3. Attack Yanjin;
4. Occupy it.
Just like "putting an elephant into the refrigerator", Cheng Peng has achieved the third step without much effort, but he is still far away from the fourth step.
The fighting was fierce at the gate of Cao's army camp across Yanjin.
Yuan Shao's army has a numerical advantage, while Cao Cao's army has a qualitative advantage, and the battle situation is generally similar.
"We can put all the troops up and launch a full-scale attack." Xu Tu said, "We can capture this camp with a maximum loss of 3,000 men!"
Looking at the high and thick stockade wall that had been repeatedly built, Cheng Peng shook his head.
It is said in the art of war that if you want to encircle and destroy the enemy, only four times the force is not enough, not to mention that the enemy has a solid and reliable camp to rely on. This geographical advantage cannot be underestimated.
What's more, although his side has a huge military advantage, the quality of the soldiers of Cao's army who were inexplicably blessed by God has the upper hand. Coupled with the unfavorable terrain... If an all-out attack is carried out, once the enemy takes the initiative to attack, they are likely to be directly defeated.
One unit, a loss of troops in vain.
Although Xu Tu is full of wit, he has never learned the art of war and is still an amateur in battle formations. A slight difference can make a huge mistake. If we attack according to what he said, it will be a good thing if we don't lose this battle. Win?
Then the enemy must also be an outsider.
"Such a war is something you can't just rely on cleverness." On the other side of the virtual screen, Yue Yi smiled happily, "It's going very smoothly here. Boss Xie is about to pass Hanoi County.
.I have also arrived at the Yellow River, and I will send an engineering ship down the river tomorrow to help you lay a pontoon bridge - you have to work hard, don't forget that Young Master Yuan's follow-up troops have arrived, and Yanjin has not been captured yet."
When talking about Yuan Shao, everyone is speechless.
I don't know what's going on with this young and handsome leader, he actually shouted that he would choose a good and auspicious day to send his troops south to have a showdown with his old friend Cao Mengde. He even planned his itinerary to make sure that when he arrived in Xuchang,
It also happens to be a good and auspicious day.
"Meng De is my lifelong best friend! We should choose a good day for this final battle!" When he danced and issued this order, bursts of whining sounded in the player channel.
"Here it comes again! Here it comes again! Young Master, can you not go to bed even for a day!"
"Okay, okay! Have mercy on us errands!"
"Oh my God! Oh God! Holy Virgin Mary! Let him be struck to death with a thunderbolt!"
"What an auspicious day for your sister! Don't you know that it's better to catch the sun than to pick it up, and it's better to hit the sun than to hit it?"
"You need a good time and auspicious day to set out, and you need a good time and auspicious day to fight... Are you going to fight or to worship?"
"My best friend Mengde and my best friend Mengde all day long... forget about getting married!"
But no matter how dissatisfied everyone is, the orders of the Han Dynasty Lieutenant, General, and Big Boss Master Yuan cannot be changed. Therefore, instead of being able to sweep down hundreds of thousands of troops as expected, they each have to command 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers.
Ma divided his forces and attacked, clearing the way for Yuan Shao to Xuchang, the capital of Cao's army, so that this handsome young master, who was dressed up and ostentatious, and who knew whether he was going to fight or to worship, could arrive on time according to the planned plan.
Yuan Shao's army consisted of five groups in total. Except for the Chinese army led by the eldest young master himself, the other four groups all set off in advance.
Chun Yuqiong, the general who conquered the east, had 40,000 troops under his command, and his lieutenants were Gao Lan and Wen Chou. They marched from the Shanyang area, with the goal of intimidating Yuan Shu and taking Cao Cao's retreat.
Xie Yalong, the general who conquered the west, commanded 30,000 soldiers and horses, and his lieutenants were Zhang Jaw and Shi Tianpeng. They set out from Shangdang, passed through Hanoi and Yingchuan, and outflanked Chenliu, the center of Cao's army.
Annan general Cheng Peng, with 20,000 troops and horses under his command, and his deputy Yan Liang, sent troops from Liyang to seize Baima Ferry and attack Yanjin Ferry.
Anbei general Yue Yi, with 10,000 troops under his command and his deputy Bi Yong, went south from Chaoge and led the engineering troops to lay a pontoon bridge to clear the way for the army. After the pontoon bridge was laid, he joined forces with Cheng Peng, and then joined forces with several other troops to lay siege
Cao Jun.
The total number of these four armies is 100,000, and Cao Cao's current strength is only 60,000 at full strength. No matter how you look at it, it is a sure-win situation.
This is also the reason why Cheng Peng was not in a hurry to capture Yanjin.
He admitted that Cao Jun's camp was indeed well-constructed. With the manpower and material resources he had on hand, it would be difficult to capture it without paying a heavy price - even he couldn't think of any good way to attack it by force, but as long as Yue Yi and his engineers
When the team arrived, all kinds of siege equipment were put into battle, not to mention just a camp, even a powerful city with strong walls!
The task of attacking a city and building a stronghold is completely different in difficulty with the assistance of engineering troops than if you do it alone!
So what he has to do now is just to let each army take turns to fight against Cao's army, accumulate practical experience, and upgrade them from "newcomers" to "veterans".
Before I knew it, the day passed.
When Ming Jin withdrew his troops in the evening and counted the results of the battle, he found that he had not suffered any losses after the day's fighting.
In terms of military strength, Yuan Shao's army lost 800 people, and Cao ***'s army lost 400 people. The ratio of two to one is not unacceptable; in terms of morale, Yuan Shao's army lost about 200 morale points, and Cao ***'s army lost 4.
Hundred points, the same ratio is two to one, but in reverse.
In the world of "Dynasty Warriors", both the loss of troops and the loss of morale will lead to the collapse of the army, so it is actually the same which way to fight, but the loss of troops is difficult to make up for, and the loss of morale can be improved by military commanders using command commands such as encouragement.
, so the gold content of the latter is somewhat lower.
Cheng Peng is currently a "famous general in the world". If he performs encouragement, he can increase morale by about 300 points. Cao Ren is definitely not as famous as him, but Cao Ren is a famous general in the system. Not only does he have bonuses in military strategy, commandership and other abilities, he is also a famous general in the system.
With the extra bonus, the total amount of encouragement may not be much less than him.
"It looks like it will be a protracted war." At ten o'clock in the evening, Cheng Peng couldn't help but sigh when he saw the system prompt [Cao Ren, the commander of Cao's army, used the command command "Inspire", and the morale of Cao's army increased by 300 points].
Take a breath.
After fighting for one day, he lost 800 soldiers and lost 100 points of the opponent's morale. To defeat all 1,000 points of morale and defeat the enemy's morale, it would take eight days... and this does not include Cao**
The morale of the Japanese army may have increased due to the arrival of reinforcements...
The conclusion is——
"Tomorrow we will reduce the intensity of our attack." Cheng Peng ordered Yan Liang, "General Anbei will arrive soon with his engineering team. Why should we risk our lives against the village gate?"
"But it's a pity..."
"Everyone should share the credit. Is this the way to be a general?"
So the next day, the kind-hearted Yan Liang actually ordered the soldiers to cut down trees nearby.
"Sure enough, he is a talented general." Xu Tu admired Yan Liang as he looked at Yan Liang who was smiling and carrying a woodcutting ax against a big tree. "He is also a young master, so he is much more reliable than Mr. Yuan!"
Represented by the civil servant Guo Tusheng and the military attache Yan Liang and Wen Chou, most of Yuan Shao's NPC subordinates are from rich and noble families, and most of them have such bad character and talent that players want to capture them and stuff them into tar barrels.
Cement sinks into Bohai Bay.
But Yuan Shao just likes this kind of person.
To be precise, he likes anyone who is "well-born, handsome, and elegant in conversation."
The problem is that the "famous families" of this era...well, let's not mention them.
The main daily task of the Big Gun Union is to help him resolve the conflict between the famous family and the common people. Every now and then, he has to find a killer to kill a certain "famous person" with a white knife and a red knife - otherwise the common people can
Raise the flag of rebellion!
"If I had known, I might as well have gone with Gongsun Zan!" Xie Yalong once said sadly after getting drunk at a private banquet one day, "At least that guy only causes trouble for others, and his subordinates don't cause trouble for others!"
In any case, things have come to this point, and there is no possibility of turning back. No matter how bad Yuan Shao and his gang of bastards are, everyone can only grit their teeth and resist, looking forward to kicking them away from the core of power as soon as possible.
, and then transform Mr. Yuan according to his own wishes.
After all, Mr. Yuan is actually a pretty good person, but he is too soft-spoken and hopelessly romantic.
As long as there are no bad guys around him, he will naturally become a wise king.
Being close to virtuous ministers and being far away from villains is why the early Han Dynasty prospered.
When the wood cut by Yan Liang and others had almost piled up into a hill, Yue Yi arrived with his fleet.
The scene at that time was very spectacular: a mighty fleet lined up, with many small boats sailing out of the fleet, each connected with extremely thick iron chains to form a huge pontoon bridge across the entire Yellow River.
Then, those pushing carts, those carrying tools, those driving mules and horses...the endless engineering team walked along the pontoon bridge and steadily crossed the natural dangers of the Yellow River.
"Technology is the primary productive force."
"Yes, the old man is right!"
After a while, Yue Yi came over from the pontoon.
He is also a strategist. He is not like Xu Tu who is so maverick that he always wears craftsman uniforms, nor is he like many civilian players who always wear feather fans and silk towels to cosplay Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu. Instead, he wears armor like ordinary generals.
The style is that of a standard general, so standard that you can't tell it from a crowd.
Yue Yi's explanation for this kind of attire was, "There is no harm in being cautious. Maybe this ordinary attire can save my life some time."
That's how he is, always preparing for "future possibilities", always collecting information, laying out hidden clues, and making plans.
Xie Yalong once said, "It is a pity that Yue Yi was born hundreds of years later. If he had been born in troubled times, he would have been a great man of his generation!"
Yue Yi disagreed with this statement.
"In troubled times, people's lives are worse than dogs, and talented people die early all over the place. I have never regretted not encountering troubled times. I enjoy the peace now."
Military Advisor Yue, who was "enjoying peace," did not chat with everyone for too long. Seeing that it was still early, he ordered the engineers to start preparing siege equipment.
"Give me some time." He said to Cheng Peng, "We will work overtime tonight and we will definitely not delay the war."
"I don't know why Cao Ren, facing an army of 20,000 men and the world-famous Cheng Po Army, didn't quickly take his troops to Yuanwu County to join the friendly forces. Instead, he foolishly insisted on holding on here. But since it is what the enemy has to do.
, we have the obligation to prevent them from doing it!"
He pointed at Cao Jun's camp at Yanjin Crossing, and at Cao Ren on the tower whose face was so bitter that he could drip water, and said confidently: "I guarantee that tomorrow morning, you will be able to see enough siege equipment!"
