Chapter 1902 If you don't win, you can only retreat
This is the third test Yang Su gave Wei Yuancheng.
If you can tell the advantages and disadvantages of these two cities respectively, it only means that you have done your homework in advance. This homework may be done by you yourself, or it may be done by others for you. If so, it does not represent you.
If you have the ability to do your homework well, it can only be said that the people around you are more powerful. At this moment, Wei Yuancheng's actual ability can be reflected by giving a strategy on how to attack these two cities based on the latest intelligence.
Battlefield sand table deduction is a compulsory course in the military academy, and it is also an ability that every general of the Han army needs to have. If you are actually on the sand table from God's perspective, you will have no way to prove that your strategy is feasible.
So on the actual battlefield, victory can really only rely on the enemy's confusion.
As we all know, it is not common for the enemy to become confused. It is better to place hope on this than to hope that God can open your eyes.
Wei Yuancheng picked up the wooden pole next to the sand table and looked at the situation where the enemy and the enemy were intertwined on the sand table for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "In order to prevent our army from surrounding Yubi City, Chang Shan has now set up a camp by the Fen River, including Han Village.
Heshuizhai, Fenshui is not very frozen now, so the two camps cannot be treated equally. If we want to take Yubi City, we must first defeat the camp here, so that Chang Shan can only retreat to Yubi City. Once the Fenshui waterway comes,
Therefore, everything is under my control, and secondly, we can also encircle Yubi City, and even cut off the connection channel between Yubi City and Huagu City."
Yang Su directly took another wooden pole and pointed it on the sand table: "Chang Shan can completely lead his army from Huagu City to support before we take the camp. If the battle around the camp cannot be ended, this will
This battle is bound to reach a stalemate. The weather may turn cold at any time. The enemy still has a fortress and city to rely on, but our army is fighting in the wild and will be affected by the weather. If the camp cannot be conquered for a long time, what will happen?
Is good?"
"If the camp cannot be conquered for a long time, the general will think that the best and only way -" Wei Yuancheng no longer stared at the sand table, but looked at Yang Su, "- is to lead the army to retreat and return to Puzhou for the winter.
, after the Fenshui ice is lifted in the spring of next year, we will use the navy as the vanguard to attack Yubi City again. Otherwise, it will only tire our troops and horses in the end, but will give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it. It is better to fight back.
We will wait until next year to fight again."
The generals around him suddenly took a breath of cold air.
The Hedong War is now the most important war of the Han Dynasty. It can even be said that the entire north is supporting the Hedong War. The Han army even did not hesitate to launch feint attacks in the directions of Hanoi and Qingzhou in order to attract the attention of the Northern Zhou army as much as possible and reduce the pressure in Hedong.
Pressure. And with the end of the Pingcheng War, the food and equipment that were originally transported to the north via Guanzhong were also transferred to Hedong nearby. It can be said that countless eyes are staring at Hedong.
And Yang Su and the others were able to get to where they are today only by raising their arms forcefully.
If you rashly say you want to withdraw your troops at this time, not only will Yang Su, Li Xun and Huang Wan have to bear the responsibility for their serious mistakes as generals - even if the court considers the actual situation and will not really punish them, it does not sound good to say it, but also
He may become the laughing stock of other generals.
Especially Yang Su, he came to use the Battle of Hedong to gild. Once the Battle of Hedong drags on or even ends without an issue, his gilding will not be enough, and he may not be able to achieve the position of Taiwei because of this.
.
Therefore, no one wants to withdraw the troops, and they don't even dare to say it.
Wei Yuancheng said it very straightforwardly.
Yang Su looked at him quietly. Although this guy was bold, what he said was correct.
Now he is indeed facing such a dangerous situation. As Yubi City is a famous fortified city, Yang Su does not have the capital or time to wait and attack slowly like Gao Huan. Once the battle does not go smoothly, he can only choose
Retreat to recuperate and wait for next spring.
In contrast, there is no need to worry about the battlefield on the south side of Hedong. With the capabilities of the imperial guards, it is not difficult to capture Shaozhou. There is no need to worry about the other battlefields. Even if the Han army is in a defensive posture, it can still attack the opponent.
The Northern Zhou army was under great pressure, and the only person who needed to worry was Yang Su himself.
His Majesty has even sent the Imperial Guard across the river into Hedong to deal with the enemies of Shaozhou, in order to create an opportunity for Yang Su to attack Jinyang directly to the north. If Yang Su just patted his ass and returned to Puzhou, he would be worthy of anyone.
I'm also sorry for what your Majesty has done for him.
Your Majesty has removed all the obstacles that can be removed, and you are still standing still. How can you have the face to meet His Majesty? Even if Your Majesty still wants to re-employ Yang Su, Yang Su will not be able to take office shamelessly.
Staring at Wei Yuancheng closely, Yang Su nodded: "The queen of Jiangmen is well-deserved. If your uncle knew about it, he would be proud of it."
Wei Yuancheng solemnly raised his hand, knowing that he had gained Yang Su's approval.
Li Xun next to him also breathed a sigh of relief. He was also worried that Wei Yuancheng would not perform well and would not be recognized by Yang Su. In the end, there was no way for Li Xun and Yang Su to reach an agreement on whether to appoint Wei Yuancheng or not.
Conflict with Yang Su because of Wei Yuancheng was not what Li Xun wanted to see.
What's more, if Wei Yuancheng really has no talent, Li Xun himself will have to think carefully.
Yang Su turned to look at Li Xun and Huang Wan, and their expressions immediately became serious.
"Both generals are aware of the difficulties and dangers involved in the Battle of Yubi," Yang Su said sternly, "We must concentrate all our efforts to break through the camp and surround Yubi City!"
————————————-
Wei Yuancheng wiped his musket and looked at the smoke rising from the camp.
It's early morning now, but because of the cloudy sky, it's no different from night.
The order from above had just been issued. After all the armies had their meals in the morning, the whole army went out to attack the Fenshui camp. General Wei Yuancheng led his troops as part of Gong Han's army to attack from the left wing.
The so-called left wing is the part of the water village directly facing the camp.
Gong Han's army had already selected soldiers with good water skills, and cooperated with the navy to go to the Fen River to open a channel.
There are not many naval ships, but each one carries artillery and trebuchets, which can be said to be armed to the teeth. Of course, this is actually to increase the weight as much as possible, otherwise even ice will not be able to crush them.
The Fen River flows from the northeast to the southwest, and finally merges into the big river. As the navy goes upstream, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the ice layer is naturally getting thicker and thicker. It gradually becomes impossible to sail, and it is necessary to blast the ice layer by layer.
In order to move forward, you need to follow the center of the river.
It is very likely that the navy will not be able to reach its destination on time, and even if it does arrive, it will only provide support from a distance with artillery and trebuchets.
Until now, there is no sign of the navy, so it is very likely that there is no hope.
