Liu Cong selected Wang Mi as his deputy and immediately started taking action.
He asked Wang Mi to take charge of the frontal battlefield. On the grounds that he was familiar with the Taihang Mountains, his subordinates would cut off the supplies of Wang Kuang's army, which was alone in the invasion.
Thoughts on retreating.
Regarding such a tactical arrangement, Wang Mi knew that Liu Cong hoped to a certain extent to use up his own soldiers to defeat his opponent head-on.
But at the same time, for myself, if I am responsible for this war, as long as I win, it will be a great achievement.
This is like when the Red Cliff was burned, everyone thought that Zhou Gongjin was the first in military merit, but Guan Yu, who intercepted Cao Cao on Huarong Road, even if he killed Cao Cao, it would only make Zhou Gongjin's reputation shine brighter.
This is the card of the person in charge of the frontal battlefield. As long as the battlefield is victorious, then he will be the person with the greatest credit.
Doesn’t Liu Cong know that this meritorious service is great?!
Liu Cong naturally knew, but after all, he was the leader holding the tiger talisman. Wang Mi won the battle. Firstly, he could befriend Wang Mi, and secondly, he was indispensable when sharing his merits.
More importantly, what do you want to do with so many meritorious deeds? Unless it is to destroy the country, will your father let you sit in the position of the prince?
Therefore, Liu Cong decisively encouraged Wang Mi to confront the Jin army, and just be responsible for the flanks and food shortages!
"This time the King of Chu gave us the task of defeating the Jin army head-on. What do you think?" Wang Mi came out of Liu Cong's camp and returned to his own camp to prepare for the task. When the wind blew, Wang Mi naturally woke up.
Quite a few.
Once the mission is completed, I will naturally be promoted to a higher rank. If defeated, the number one general of the Han army of the Huns and Han Dynasty will probably have to be replaced!
Everyone looked at each other, and Wang Zhang chose to shut up. After all, he could handle internal affairs, but he was really lacking in military strategy. Wang Zhang also knew his position and did not participate too much.
The last eyes fell unconsciously on Li Gu, Cao Yi, and Liu Tai. The first two were considered senior, while Liu Tai had more or less capital because of the plan to divert the Danshui.
Cao Yi said, "If you ask me, we should find the opportunity and strike first!"
Li Gu shook his head and said, "Since we want to let the Jin army in, it is impossible for us to sneak attack them.
After all, the other party went deep alone. Even if the Forbidden Army was careless, didn't their generals understand that the terrain was dangerous?
The road the army is walking on must have been scouted by scouts to make sure there is no danger before moving forward.
When we fight with them, we are afraid that we will not be able to take them down in one breath, and they will retreat decisively, and then we will have a headache.
So, I don’t think it’s a good idea to strike first.”
"What do you mean?" Wang Mi nodded in approval after hearing Li Gu's words.
Don't treat others as fools, especially if such an army is so alone, it will frighten the bowed bird even more.
It was impossible for me to do what Cao Yi said, so I continued to follow Li Gu's words and continued to ask.
"My idea is that we honestly block the road behind Changping, cooperate with the Chu King's army to complete the encirclement of the Jin army, and wait until the Jin army runs out of food before we attack, or if the Jin army wants to retreat, we will chase and fight
!
"Not bad, not bad!" Wang Mi nodded in approval when he heard Li Gu's words.
Then he looked at Liu Tai and said, "Tai'er, do you have any ideas? If so, please tell me!"
"The two generals Li Gu and Cao Yi have thought quite comprehensively. Tai has nothing to add!" Liu Tai shook his head and said,
"Where my uncle's sword points, Tai will lead his soldiers and charge forward!"
"Hahaha!" Wang Mi couldn't help laughing when he heard Liu Tai's words.
Cao Yi and Li Gu looked at each other, and couldn't help but feel that it was hard to say how good the soldiers Liu Tai was, but it seemed that his flattering skills were at least the level of someone from a poor family. Anyway, they couldn't say this.
Words!
Liu Tai understands that any war or plan will eventually end in a fight.
And since Wang Mi decided to fight head-on, he can be sure that the next fight will be quite brutal.
Soon, Wang Mi adopted Li Gu's plan and began to build defense facilities around Changping.
When Wang Kuang led an army of 30,000 to Changping, he naturally found that Wang Mi was already waiting here, waiting for work.
At the same time, scouts came to report that Wang Mi's army was building defenses and did not see the banner of Liu Cong, King of Chu of the Huns and Han Kingdom.
Liu Cong's troops crossed the Yellow River several times, so many people in the Jin court knew Liu Cong.
When he discovered that the army that intercepted him did not include Liu Cong's troops, and that Wang Mi's army was still building defenses, Shi Rong couldn't help but said to Wang Kuang, "Is it possible that the Shangdang has not been defeated by the puppet Han before, so the puppet Han only
There will be such a move!"
Wang Kuang couldn't help but frown when he heard Shi Rong's words. To be honest, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
But no matter how you put it, the opponent was blocked here in Changping and did not take the initiative to attack. Instead, he built defenses here. No matter how you look at it, it seems to be blocking your progress, rather than wanting to attack you.
Wang Kuang thought for a while and said decisively, "In that case, we will concentrate our efforts to break the opponent's obstruction!"
"This is the decision to attack?!" Shi Rong didn't expect Wang Kuang to make a decision so quickly and couldn't help but say,
"Don't we wait a moment and send scouts to the north to investigate? After all, this is just a guess!"
"Shangdang is waiting for us, and Liu Kun is waiting for us. It has taken too much unnecessary time to get here from Huainan. Even if it costs people's lives, we must open this road for me!" Wang Kuang
Cold and cold.
Wang Kuang's strategic vision was different from Shi Rong's. Wang Kuang knew very well that Liu Kun had finally created an opportunity for north-south unity through Shangdang County. If he let it go this time, there would be no next time. So Wang Kuang knew very well that for the sake of the Wancheng strategy, what would happen if he sacrificed the soldiers below? These soldiers were just for sacrifice, otherwise what else would the Jin court do to support them!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Wang Kuang has a long-term vision and a very clear strategic thinking. However, due to the common problem of being from a wealthy family, not to mention these low-level soldiers, even ordinary poor families may not be in his eyes. For him, the death of soldiers is just a number.
He just wants to achieve his strategic goals.
"Nuo..." Shi Rong still wanted to persuade him, at least until the safety around Changping is ensured and a good logistics supply line is established.
But facing Wang Kuang, who had already made a decision, Shi Rong couldn't help but feel resentful, and he couldn't say anything.
After all, how can I say this? This is the Wang family of Langya.
For Shi Rong, the head of the Langya Wang family who could involve two Sima family bosses, Sima Yue and Sima Rui, was too majestic.
So when they set up camp in Changpingan just now, the Jin army consciously began to attack the defense line established by Wang Mi.
Due to time constraints, this line of defense cannot be said to be very good, but it is possible to build a few horse traps, build a few breakthroughs, build a few arrow towers, and sprinkle some caltrops. These basic defense facilities can eventually be achieved. p>
The most important thing is that the army under Wang Mi's command has been having an easy life these days, and it can be said that they are waiting for work. However, the Jin army, not to mention that they traveled thousands of miles to come here, they were thrown into the fierce battlefield fighting as soon as they came here. It can be said that
They themselves have accumulated quite serious fatigue.
This feeling of fatigue may not affect the performance of their strength, but it will definitely make them hate war when they cannot attack for a long time. Especially if they cannot attack the position after several attacks, the disgust will be even stronger.
The defense line where Liu Tai was located was even more stable at this moment, and Liu Tai had more time to observe the Jin army.
It can be said that in the first year of Yongjia, he and Wang Mi were hunted down by Wang Heng and Bei Gongchun, and the army was defeated by the Jin court.
But now it is the third year of Yongjia, and it has not yet been completed for two years. The Jin court's army has become even more degenerate.
But the soldiers under Wang Mi have become more elite, if they were more or less professional soldiers back then.
Now Liu Tai could clearly feel that these soldiers of the Jin Dynasty just rushed forward blindly and dazedly, resisting instinctively, and simply did not exert the strength that an army organization should have.
Everyone in the Jin army thought that they were just making a living, shooting two arrows in front of the battle, and they were worthy of the Jin emperor, so why should they fight desperately on the battlefield now?
This made the group of soldiers rush towards their position as if the tide was surging, but the retreat speed was even more rapid.
Many times, Liu Tai looked at this group of soldiers from the Jin court, and did not even rush to his position. He just let the soldiers shoot a few arrows, and then they immediately dispersed like a swarm, unable to withstand even a little bit of battle damage.
It makes people feel that it is fake.
"Have Jin soldiers reached this point?!" Liu Tai looked at the scene in front of him at a loss.
Although he knew that the Jin court was in bad shape, the rate of decay of the Jin court still far exceeded Liu Tai's expectations.
At this moment, Wang Kuang watched his army attack several times, and they did not even attack the opposite position. The opposite side only shot a few waves of arrows, and then dispersed like birds and beasts. This made Wang Kuang realize for the first time that Jin Ting
Soldiers' trash.
There is no way, Wang Kuang is the product of the political struggle between Sima Yue and Sima Rui, and he relies on the Huainan elite in his hands.
Although when he went north, he didn't think that the army Sima Yue gave him would be much better, but it was so bad that Wang Kuang couldn't help but wonder whether Sima Yue knew the significance of this war, or whether the entire army at the center of the Jin court was aware of it.
It’s all in such a mess!
After a day of offensive and defensive battles, Wang Mi felt that Sima Yue's army seemed to be much weaker than he expected.
I was originally prepared to lose a few positions, but after a day of fighting, not a single position was lost?!
It’s simply unbelievable.
"I always feel that the opponent is not very powerful!" Wang Mi said thoughtfully, "Isn't the opponent showing weakness to the enemy?"
Wang Mi was chased by the Jin court from Qingzhou to Luoyang, and then was beaten across the Yellow River. Suddenly he saw that the Jin army was suddenly so weak.
Wang Mi thought that it was not that he was stronger, nor that the opponent was weak, but that the opponent would not be prepared to set a trap for him.
I have to say that not only Wang Mi has this idea, but also Cao Yi and Li Gu at this moment.
But because Liu Tai looked down on Jin Ting from the beginning to the end, he was completely unlike people of this era who had a bit of baggage that they couldn't get rid of when facing Jin Ting.
It's like Liu Tai surrendered to Liu Yuan without any psychological pressure. After all, they were both people from thousands of years ago. Maybe he had the blood of the Huns in his past? What does he have to be particular about?
As long as modern China has a name and a surname, its ancestors are not nobles. The most important thing for the Chinese nation is cultural identity.
So Liu Tai immediately stood up and said to Wang Midi, "Whether the opponent is strong or not, we will find out after we attack once tonight!"
"You want to counterattack tonight?!" When everyone heard Liu Tai's words, they didn't expect Liu Tai to be so anxious.
"Yeah!" Liu Tai nodded, "The other party directly fought with us when they first came to Changping, which shows that there are not many defense facilities around their camp.
Secondly, in today's battle, the opponent is the main attacker and we are the main defender. They consume more and are more likely to tire.
The most important thing is that if the opponent is really old and weak, then a late night attack is most likely to cause a camp roar.
In that case, why not take a gamble!
On the contrary, if the time is delayed for too long, even if the King of Chu succeeds in running out of food, we will still have to face their trapped beasts!"
"So let's just launch a general attack on the opponent!" Liu Tai looked at Wang Mi and said, "Let's just attack the opponent and see their strength!"
"Well..." Wang Mi couldn't help but think after hearing Liu Tai's words.
To be honest, Wang Mi still believed in Liu Tai's judgment despite his young age in terms of military matters.
This is not unreasonable trust, but Liu Tai's astuteness in offering advice to his eldest son, or his courage when 400 men captured Ye City, all of which show that Liu Tai has a different kind of military talent.
Compared to a normal person like himself who has suffered many defeats, Wang Mi really feels that Liu Tai is a natural talent like Huo Qubing.
At least neither Cao Yi nor Li Gu realized that this was an opportunity to counterattack, but Liu Tai noticed it and wanted to seize this opportunity.
Wang Mi thought for a while and said to Liu Tai, "As you said, I will attack tonight and I will personally hold the line for you!"
"No!" Liu Tai responded decisively after hearing Wang Mi's words.
Liu Tai glanced towards Wang Kuang's camp unconsciously, but he was curious in his heart what Wang Kuang was going to do today!
Wang Kuang obviously learned the lesson from today's battlefield, and after discussing with Shi Rong, he selected soldiers from his relatively elite Huainan soldiers and reorganized them into a law enforcement team.
It is unrealistic to expect these Jin soldiers to become elites immediately, so we can only threaten them with death and fear to make them dare to fight!
Wang Kuang looked at the military map and couldn't help but think, "When our army breaks the obstruction, aids the Communist Party, drives out the puppet Han, reunifies the state, and then cleans up the Youzhou warlords, we will surely be able to make our Jin Dynasty prosperous again!
I didn’t expect that I, Wang Kuang, is also as talented as Zhuge, and I will definitely be famous in history in the future!”
Wang Kuang thought about his perfect plan and lay on his bed while thinking.
Let's get some sleep first. Tomorrow we will defeat the puppet Han army that is blocking us!
