Chapter 712: Can the counselors matter be called cheating?
It is not appropriate to say that there is a shortage of labor force. The whole Qingzhou has now spread that there is food to eat in Qi County. As long as you are willing to work, you can eat every meal!
The consequence of this news spreading throughout Qingzhou was that a large number of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans began to consciously gather towards Qi County. If it hadn't happened to be the lean season, there would be no food for migration, and they would have to take care of the crops that had been planted. Now around
Zhoucang, Liao Hua, Peiyuan and others who were blocking Qijun were unable to stop the surging crowd.
It was also during this period of lull that Gongsun Zan's army finally entered Jizhou and engaged Yuan Shao in close combat.
When it comes to frontal combat, Yuan Shao's Jizhou army is really no match for Gongsun Zan's tiger and wolf divisions. Although they are weak in terms of military strength, Gongsun Zan only brought his own fifteen thousand white horse followers, but Yuan Shao was still in a miserable state.
Why cavalry is not good at attacking cities? That is for nomadic people. When Baima Yicong was used in Gongsun Zan's hands, in the first month alone, he defeated the six counties of Hejian County in Jizhou, and most of the land in Hejian fell.
, Under such a fierce offensive, Yuan Shao almost lost all confidence in defeating him. Even his advisers looked ugly at this moment.
Yuan Shao's eyes fiercely scratched the faces of all the advisers, and his voice was filled with anger, "Isn't the plan very good? Why did Gongsun Zan become angry and raise an army? The cavalry is not good at attacking fortresses, and the expedition of Bi Lao's army is not good at fighting for a long time. We will hold on and have food and grass."
There is no shortage of soldiers, and the morale of the soldiers guarding their hometown is high. With the right location and the right people, Gongsun Zan will definitely return without success. When he is tired, he will strike with a thunderous blow, which will definitely cause him heavy losses!"
"Now, we have indeed suffered heavy losses, but we are the ones who have suffered heavy losses!" Yuan Shao didn't yell, but that doesn't mean he wasn't angry!
Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny!
The Dak Effect was vividly displayed on Yuan Shao and his men.
It is also commonly known as one of the three major illusions in life. I thought I could do it!
It is undeniable that Yuan Shao's counselors are indeed full of talents. Whether it is their background, knowledge, or personal abilities, they are all outstanding. They are not comparable to the group of reckless men under Gongsun Zan. But the key to the problem is that now they are using real swords and guns.
war!
War is not just talk. No matter how good your background is, how knowledgeable you are, or how smart you are, if you have never fought in a war and have no experience, it is still just talk on paper!
Maybe if Zhao Kuo is given a chance in ten years, he can become one of the best military strategists in the Warring States Period, but the problem is, you only have to have the chance!
Now Yuan Shao's forces are facing this kind of problem. On the one hand, they feel that the people of Jizhou are very capable, with many soldiers and generals, money and food, and aristocratic families with many talented people. Gongsun Zan's men opposite are just a group of reckless men.
It's just his ability to show off his ruthlessness against the barbarians, but when he comes in front of them, he can easily capture him by just using a little trick.
The fact is indeed the case. They "implemented a small plan" and made Gongsun Zan furious. He raised an army in anger, and then... nothing happened!
Once the fight started with real swords and guns, Yuan Shao and others discovered that this is what fighting is all about!!!
Baima Yi charged several times with arrows raining down, never giving them a chance to get close. After several rounds of arrow rain, the army became restless, from restlessness to withdrawal, from withdrawal to chaos, from chaos to rout, and it was impossible to stop them.
Not to mention the wilderness, it is the battle to defend the city. The non-stop rain of arrows is so overwhelming that the people on the city don't dare to show their heads. Only others can attack you, but you can't hit the opponent. No matter how high your morale is, you can't withstand it.
, after a few rounds, morale declined to the extreme.
The siege battle of the White Horse Yi Cong was completely played out in Gongsun Zan's hands. Relying on the high mobility of the White Horse Yi Cong, he would sometimes focus on attacking the east, and sometimes switch to the west. The harvest soldiers were frightened on all sides, even though
There is not a single soldier on the opposite side, so we don't dare to take it lightly, because at any time, the Baima Yi Cong may attack with several rounds of arrows, causing heavy losses.
The 15,000 white-horse Yi Cong had the effect of a 100,000-strong army siege, and the resulting psychological pressure was even greater. A seemingly impregnable city would be completely breached if it could not withstand it for three days!
It is true that Gongsun Zan's men were not well-known, their family backgrounds were humble, and their knowledge was indeed not high. However, these people were killed with one knife and one shot.
Not to mention how many battles were fought on the frontier grassland, this is a must-have battle every year. In addition, Xiliang Bianzhang, Han Sui rebelled, Gongsun Zan commanded three thousand cavalry to participate, and Zhang Chun seduced Qiu Liju, the leader of Wuhuan in western Liaoning.
Waiting for the rebellion, Gongsun Zan led the troops to put down the rebellion, the Yellow Turban Rebellion...
The war experience gained from this sword strike cannot be compared with reading military books and strategies. Therefore, as soon as they fought, Yuan Shao's men were completely taught by Gongsun Zan.
At present, in the world, only Dong Zhuo's Xiliang cavalry and Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf cavalry can compete with Gongsun Zan. Others, whether it is Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Tao Qian, Liu Biao...the armies in the hands of these princes have seen blood.
Not much. At most, they just captured the Yellow Turban bandits many years ago. From counselors to generals, they have no combat experience at all!
To be honest, Liu Bei's subordinates are the better ones. They are all transformed from the Yellow Turban thieves. The battle is indeed getting old... Although they are being beaten all the time, it is not based on experience!
Yuan Shao was angry, and everyone was speechless. Finally, Xun Chen stood up and spoke, "Lord, it seems that our army has suffered some losses..."
Yuan Shao looks unkind, is that something?
"But, this may not be a bad thing!" Xun Chen seemed not to notice Yuan Shao's unhappy look.
Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows, wanting to see what Xun Chen's sharp tongue could come up with.
"Gongsun Zan's men are all warriors with rich combat experience. Our army has not practiced battle formations for a long time. It is inevitable that there will be various mistakes in the early stage. However, Gongsun Zan is internally unstable and Youzhou is barren, but we are united. Jizhou is rich, and Gongsun Zan
As long as you lose once, you will never have a chance to turn around again, but our army is different. Although the battles this time have ended in failure, they have gained experience and will not make the same mistake a second time."
"We still need to follow the original plan, but the purpose this time is not only to bring down Gongsun Zan, but also to use this opportunity to train our troops. The big man is very big, not just in Hebei. There will be many wars in the future. If Gongsun Zan can be used
Only when a few elite soldiers are truly trained will the real reward be gained."
"You can take a longer-term view and don't worry about temporary gains and losses. After all, Gongsun Zan is just a scabies disease, and he should make good use of it."
Celebrities are celebrities, and the effect of a sharp tongue is different reactions. No wonder Han Fu, who can be said in history, willingly sacrificed Jizhou, but was defeated again and again. When Xun Chen said this, it turned out to be a good thing!
At this moment, not only Yuan Shao's brows relaxed and his face smiled, but the confidence of other civil and military officials also doubled.
