Chapter 393 Liu Hai’s Heavenly Soldiers Divided into Two Groups, Chang Yi’s Battle with the Yellow Turbans
Sand table, as the name suggests, is a model made of sand and other materials piled up according to the topographic map.
According to original historical records, when Qin was planning to destroy the six kingdoms, Qin Shihuang personally studied the geographical situation of each country, and with the assistance of Li Si, he sent general Wang Jian to launch a unification war.
Later, when Qin Shihuang was building his mausoleum, he built a large-scale terrain model in his mausoleum. The model not only included mountains, hills, cities, etc., but also simulated rivers and seas with mercury, and used mechanical devices to make mercury
flow cycle.
It can be said that this is the earliest prototype of a sand table, which has a history of more than 2,200 years.
In the eighth year of Jianwu in the Han Dynasty, that is, AD 32, Emperor Guangwu conquered Tianshui, and when the local power in the Wudu area was raging, General Ma Yuan "gathered rice into a valley to draw up the situation", which made Emperor Guangwu immediately "captured".
I had the feeling that it was right in my eyes. This was the earliest sand table operation.
In this era, sand table work has become popular. After all, four hundred years have passed from the Qin Dynasty to the present Han Dynasty. If a leading general cannot even do popular sand table work, it would be really ridiculous.
At this time, Liu Haitian pointed to the major cities displayed on the sand table with tree branches and began to talk.
"The news came from Taipingwei that Qilinzi from Bingzhou has been to Zhuojun. If I am not mistaken, the real owner of Zhuojun is the Marquis of Guannei."
"Only such a result can explain clearly the current situation in Zhuojun. Zhang Renyuan is not a simple person. Twenty-five thousand troops are divided into three places. Although the troops are dispersed, the three cities are the horns of each other.
"
"In addition, the distance between them is not too far. As long as one party is attacked, the other two parties can immediately support it. Moreover, there is Juyang behind Zhuojun. As long as it is not lost, Zhuojun will be impregnable and completely invincible.
Fearing that the Yellow Turban Army will concentrate its forces to attack all the way."
"Therefore, I believe that the key to the battle of Zhuojun lies in defeating them one by one and blocking enemy reinforcements..."
Liu Haitian has proven his strength through actions in the past few months, so Zhang Jiao also paid more attention to him and promoted him to Xiaofang Qushuai.
Although he is still under the command of Dafangqu Commander Cheng Zhiyuan, he already has great autonomy.
Just like this time, there were three Qushuai in charge of attacking Zhuojun, including Zhang Keliang led by Zhang Shicheng, and Gu Longxian led by Yang Fuqing.
After a short discussion, Liu Haitian and the other three immediately decided on the battle plan. Zhang Keliang and Gu Longxian were responsible for blocking the Han army's reinforcements, while Liu Haitian was responsible for defeating the Han army one by one.
The specific plan was for Liu Haitian to personally command the 50,000 Yellow Turban Army, and first concentrate the superior forces to eat up the Han army stationed in Fanyang City.
Fan Yangcheng protects the western front of Zhuo County. If the defender Chang Yizhi cannot hold it, Liu Haitian can take it. After losing this horn, the defenders of Zhuo County have nothing to worry about.
As for Gu Longxian and Zhang Keliang, they led 70,000 Yellow Turban troops and were responsible for intercepting Han reinforcements from the direction of Zhuoxian.
In Liu Haitian's view, if Zhang Renyuan came to help, even if he mobilized all his troops, there would only be 15,000 troops, while the Yellow Turban Army had 70,000 troops.
No matter how powerful the Han army is, if it can defeat one against five, with Gu Longxian's leadership ability and Zhang Keliang's courage, even if it cannot be defeated, at least it will not suffer.
As for Fangcheng, it was not that Liu Haitian had missed him, but that this city was located to the east of Zhuoxian Road and was quite far away from Fanyang City to the west. Direct support would definitely be too late.
It was after having a complete strategy that Liu Hai wanted to decide the outcome in a battle and completely break the deadlock in front of him, and his blow hit Zhang Renyuan's weak spot.
Naturally, there are spies stationed by Fushui Fang in the land of Youzhou. In addition to them, there are also Heibingtai and Jinyiwei, but each one is responsible for different things.
When the Yellow Turban Army was dispatched, the people from Fushuifang Shadow Guard found out the specific information of the Yellow Turban Army's dispatch. A total of 120,000 Yellow Turban troops were dispatched, and they came towards the Han army in two directions.
Zhang Renyuan was also a resourceful person and saw through Liu Haitian's plan immediately. However, due to the number of men under his command, he was unable to crack the plan. After all, it was Liu Haitian's naked conspiracy.
Zhang Renhai currently has only 15,000 troops in total, including Liu Bei's more than 2,000 troops. The troops in his hands are really limited.
If we want to send troops to support, there must be no less, otherwise it will be useless. But the key is that there must be someone left to guard Zhuo County, and the number must not be less than two thousand.
In other words, if Zhang Renyuan goes long, he can lead 13,000 troops to support him. Although Zhang Renyuan does not attach much importance to these yellow scarf troops who are like fish, the number is there after all.
Even if Zhang Renyuan was so powerful that he successfully defeated the 70,000-strong army, the reinforcements after a great battle would still have much left to support Chang Yizhi.
Therefore, it is completely impossible to directly send troops to support Chang Yizhi, but it is impossible for Zhang Renyuan to watch his brothers being eaten by the Yellow Turban Army.
Therefore, Zhang Renyuan, who was unable to take care of both ends, could only rely on the strength of the Han army and Wang Yu's ability to recognize people.
When Wang Yu left, he told him that Chang Yizhi was best at defending a city. If the situation in the world changed, let him defend a city. No matter how powerful his opponent was, it would be difficult to break through the city he was stationed in.
Easy thing.
Therefore, out of trust in his master's ability to know people, Zhang Renyuan sent a message to Chang Yizhi of Fan Yang, asking him to delay as much time as possible, and at the same time transferred Guo Yong of Fangcheng to ask him to bring 4,000 reinforcements as soon as possible to support him.
Only after joining Guo Yong's tribe, Zhang Renyuan removed the 2,000 men and horses left behind in Zhuoxian County, so that the total force could reach 17,000. With such a force, he could be sure to conquer Changyi while ensuring his own safety.
The troops were rescued safely.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But before that, he needs Chang Yoshiyuki to persist until the day when reinforcements arrive.
Chang Yizhi's strength is not weak, especially these days, he often falls into hard battles, and his own abilities have also been improved to a certain extent.
After Chang Yizhi received the message from Zhang Renyuan, he immediately frowned. He thought he was good at defending the city, but after all, he only had 5,000 troops. On the other hand, the Yellow Turban Army had 50,000 troops.
However, Zhang Renyuan also told him in his letter that he was not asked to repel the Yellow Turbans, but that he only needed to hold on for a few days and wait for reinforcements from Fangcheng.
However, Chang Yizhi did not want to be so passive in defense. After all, he was still very clear about the strength of the Yellow Turban Army. If the arrangement was proper, he might be able to take the initiative and buy time through mobile warfare.
Thinking of this, the day Chang Yoshizhi received the news, he ordered all three hundred cavalry and one thousand elite infantry under his command to prepare to leave the city.
However, he is not a person who fights uncertain battles. He sent scouts and spies in advance to keep an eye on the Yellow Turban Army's march route, and then based on the specific situation, he set up a large number of ambushes and traps to delay the Yellow Turban Army.
The speed of advance.
Of course, what Chang Yizhi wanted to do most was to see if there was any chance of setting up an ambush or sneak attack on them. Not to mention, Chang Yizhi actually found such an opportunity.
Liu Guozhen, a younger brother of the Liuhai Clan, in order to get the first victory over Fanyang City, he violated a military taboo and personally led an army of 8,000 people to break away from the main force and march straight into Fanyang City.
Not only that, but on the only way for his greedy and rash advancement, there were places suitable for the Han army to set up an ambush.
If he were an ordinary general, he would have rushed up and eaten up this army, but Chang Yoshizhi was obviously not an ordinary person, because he felt something was wrong.
Liu Haitian, the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turban Canal, is not a simple person. How could he allow his subordinates to take advantage of the situation? There must be fraud involved.
Because Chang Yizhi did not take immediate action, but sent spies to check, and sure enough, they discovered that there was another army behind the Liuguo Town army.
Obviously, Liu Guozhen was just a bait thrown by Liu Haitian, who was using the Han army's contempt for the Yellow Turban Army's low combat power to lure Chang Yi into being fooled.
After Chang Yizhi discovered the conspiracy, he immediately chose to use his troops as bait and pretended to fall into the trap. At the same time, he sent scouts through Xu Feng in the city to attack from both front and rear.
The combat power of the Yellow Turban Army was indeed similar to what Chang Yizhi had imagined. Three hundred cavalry plus a thousand elite infantry could easily overwhelm the 10,000 Yellow Turban Army.
The two sides had been fighting fiercely for only half an hour. The number of deaths among the Yellow Turban Army had reached 3,000, and they were on the verge of collapse. If Liu Haitian, who was behind Liuguo Town, had not arrived in time with 5,000 reinforcements, these 8,000 Yellow Turban Army would have definitely died.
Will be defeated by 1,300 Han troops,
After all, the cavalry's combat power can often be several times greater than normal when facing these Yellow Turbans.
However, Liu Haitian himself is not an idle person. He has his own uniqueness in military training. Take the five thousand Yellow Turban Army he led this time as an example. When he led the army to arrive, the morale of these five thousand Yellow Turban Army
High-spirited, completely different from the mental outlook of Liu Guozhen's troops.
Moreover, the armor coverage rate of these soldiers is very high. Basically, more than 60% of them wear leather armor to fight. They are obviously the elite troops of the Yellow Turban Army, but their overall combat power is still inferior to the regular army of the Han Dynasty.
Due to the Han army's previous advantage and Chang Yizhi's stronger leadership ability, with the help of his skills, he firmly controlled important positions on the battlefield.
Therefore, even though the Yellow Turban Army had 13,000 people and relied on its numerical advantage to form a semi-encirclement of the more than 1,000 Han troops under Chang Yi's command, it was still difficult to defeat the Han army in front of them.
After all, this Han army was personally trained by Zhang Renyuan, a master of military training. Coupled with Wang Yu's unique special training method, the mental outlook of this army is completely different from other armies.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Han general Xu Feng arrived with 3,000 reinforcements.
With the joint attack of the two famous generals, the morale of the Han army suddenly rose. With the strong cooperation of the two men, 4,000 troops directly held an army of more than 10,000 to death.
It can be said that not only did they not have the upper hand, but they became more courageous as they fought. If it weren't for Liu Haitian's general Pang Wan who arrived in time with 10,000 reinforcements, the Yellow Turban Army might really have been defeated at the hands of Xu Feng and Xu Feng this time.
But even so, Liu Haitian really felt the strength of the Han army, or Chang Yizhi's leadership ability. With just over a thousand people, he could easily defeat an army of 13,000 in a short period of time.
But now, the Han army has sent another three thousand reinforcements, and the army behind has not arrived yet. If he continues to fight with his current lineup, he may suffer losses, so Liu Haitian decisively ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.
"Send the order, retreat." Seeing Liu Haitian ordering the withdrawal, Chang Yizhi naturally chose to retreat as soon as possible. After all, he didn't have many people, and he could only support five thousand people. If he tried hard, he would not be able to defeat the Yellow Turbans no matter what.
Military.
Besides, he will not forget his true duty, which is to guard Fanyang City. He chooses to go out of the city to fight the enemy just to test the strength of the Yellow Turbans and see if he can find a way to break through.
After seeing Liu Haitian's order, Chang Yizhi decisively chose to withdraw his troops.
After the war, both sides took stock of their losses.
The Han army lost 700 people and the Yellow Turban army lost more than 4,000 people.
You must know that the number of the Yellow Turban Army is nearly ten times that of the Han Army, but even so, it still achieved such a result. Chang Yizhi's leadership ability is certainly one aspect, and the actual combat power of the Han Army is indispensable.
reason.
By now, Liu Haitian knew that the reason why he was able to capture other cities so easily was not because the Han army was too weak, but because they did it deliberately to make effective use of their troops.
Three cities are enough to protect.
As for the common people, given the policies of the Yellow Turban Army, even if Liu Haitian wanted to do something, he would have to resort to the enemy.
What's more, as a character based on Liu Bang, although Liu Haitian's official identity is that he is a son of aristocratic family, he still belongs to a peasant family, so he naturally has to attract ordinary people.
Through this battle, Liu Haitian saw the strength of the Han army, no, to be precise, the strength of Guannei Hou Wang Yu's army. After all, today's Chang Yizhi is definitely his.
Not only that, through this battle, Liu Haitian had a real understanding of the strength of the Han army in Zhuojun. In order to prevent the Han army from attacking at night, he immediately ordered his men to increase their preparedness.
Chang Yizhi in Fanyang City naturally thought of this, but even so, he still ordered Xu Feng, who was highly skilled in martial arts and whose ability to command an army was not inferior to his, to personally lead a hundred cavalry to launch a night attack on the left camp of the Yellow Turban Army.
My family knows their own affairs, so it is best to let Xu Feng do this kind of military work. After all, there are not many junior generals even in the Youzhou Yellow Turban Army.
