Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 2 You Can't Stay Here For Long

Half a day later, Ma Di stood beside the ruins of the dilapidated earthen city in Jieting, lost in thought.

Jieting is located at the west end of Longdi Road. The open land between the two mountains is a large fan-shaped alluvial plain, where the intersection of five roads converges.Advance can be attacked from all directions, retreat can be scattered away, the terrain is easy to attack but difficult to defend.

Here is the only place where Guanzhong leads to Liangzhou.

Although there is still the Chencang Weihe Valley road from Guanzhong to Liangzhou, but this road is too difficult and dangerous, and it is not suitable for large troops to march.

Therefore, the location of the street pavilion has become extremely important.As long as the Han army defends here, it can block the Wei army's support route.

As long as the Wei army can be kept out, within a month, the cities in Longyou will be destroyed without reinforcements.

Therefore, the success of blocking aid is actually the key to this battle.Whether it was Ma Su in the past or the current Ma Di, they are very clear about the current situation.

but……

It is no less difficult for the [-] Han army mainly composed of infantry to hold back the [-] Wei army mainly composed of cavalry for a month.

If the Han army chooses to be in charge, the pressure will be very great.Zhang Xi can completely concentrate his superior forces and choose any point to make a breakthrough.

Not only is the terrain of Jieting very unfriendly to the Han army, but the strength of the two sides is also very different.

The combat power of a cavalry is about equal to seven or eight infantry.

In other words, the combat effectiveness of 40 Wei cavalry is equivalent to about [-] infantry.

The Han army had only [-] infantry.

Twenty thousand versus 40.

The gap is so big that it makes the scalp tingle...

But it's not the worst.

In order to rush to the aid of Longyou quickly, Zhang He divided the large army into two. He led the front army [-] times to march, and another [-] soldiers and horses transported food and supplies behind.

The longer the stalemate at Jieting, the more severe the situation facing the Han army.

And, the disadvantages don't stop there.

And fortifications.

Although Jieting has an old city, it has long been dilapidated due to disrepair and wall collapse.

Ma Di knew that soon after he came to Jieting, Zhang He would kill him on horseback.

Three days.

If the Han army cannot build a strong city within three days as a support, the [-] infantry will face the impact of [-] cavalry...

The ending is predictable.

Even if the Han army could build a three-foot-high earth city in three days, Zhang Yun's [-] rear troops would arrive in less than ten days.

At that time, the comparison of combat power will become [-] infantry versus [-] cavalry.

There is a saying in the art of war: if it is ten, surround it, if it is five, it will attack it, if it is double, it will fight, if the enemy is small, it will be able to fight, if it is small, it will be able to escape, if it is small, it will be able to avoid it.Therefore, the strength of a small enemy is the capture of a big enemy.

The translation of this passage means: If I am ten times the enemy, I can encircle and suppress; if I am five times the enemy, I can attack; if I am twice the enemy, I must try to defeat the enemy; if I am evenly matched, I will try to disperse the enemy. The troops should be defeated one by one; if the troops are weaker than the enemy, head-to-head combat should be avoided.A party that is too weak cannot stick to it desperately, otherwise it will become a prisoner of a powerful enemy.

Facing [-] cavalry, [-] infantry are really too weak.

Maybe one charge and the battle is over.

When the difference in military strength is so large that it is unimaginable, a mere earthen city can play a very small protective role.

Because Jieting is located in the valley, there are three rivers passing through the valley and converging in Weishui.

At that time, the Wei army only needs to block the river and divert water to irrigate the city, and the earth city can be easily destroyed.

The most terrible thing is that this is his first time in charge of the army, the prestige in the army is seriously insufficient, and the soldiers can't do their best for it.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of more than 2 infantry has yet to be discounted.

Such a situation...

Ma Di scolded his mother secretly in his heart, turned his head, and looked at an independent hill to the south of the street pavilion.

For a moment, the idea of ​​the Tunbing Mountain slowly took shape in his mind, ready to come out.

Because even if they set up camp and have the support of Tucheng, they can only resist the Wei army for ten days at most.

The time needed by Prime Minister Zhuge is one month.

Since this Northern Expedition was the prime minister's first attack on Wei, it came suddenly, and Zhao Yun was used as a suspect to restrain Cao Zhen's main force, so Wei State was not prepared.

Prior to this, the prime minister led the army out of Qishan and went straight to Longyou.As a result, Nan'an, Tianshui, and Anding counties among the five counties rebelled against Wei Yinghan, the prefects of Nan'an and Tianshui fled, and the prefects of Anding and Jiang Wei surrendered.

Only Guangwei County, Longxi County and Qishan Fort refused to surrender.Guo Huai, governor of Yongzhou, fled to Shangyu and refused to defend, while Xu Miao, governor of Liangzhou, and Jincheng prefect defended Jincheng.

It will take at least a month to win these places.

Therefore, ten days is far from enough!
In other words, camping in power is not advisable!Even if an earthen city can be built within three days, it can't stop Wei Jun!

It wasn't until this time that Ma Su suddenly realized why his predecessor chose to camp on the mountain instead of stationing in the leadership.

Because stationing in the road is like a car with the arms of a mantis.

Although the decision to go up the mountain directly led to the defeat of the Han army.

However, it is not a bad idea to station troops on the mountain.

First of all, what is certain is that it is an impossible task for [-] infantry to resist [-] cavalry when there are not many troops and insufficient fortifications.

Unless each of these infantrymen can have the fighting power of Lu Bu, and it is no problem to arrange them on the mountain, and use the mountain to offset the impact of the cavalry, it is the best choice.

Secondly, even if he is not stationed in power, it is impossible for Zhang He to lead his army through the valley to help Longyou.

If Zhang He ignored the [-] soldiers of the Han army on the top of the mountain, he would directly march west along the valley between the two mountains.Then the [-] Han troops could calmly descend the mountain, trailing behind Zhang Yun's army, and with one shot...into the soul.

If one shot is not enough?
Then do it again.

In other words, camping on the mountain can also achieve the purpose of blocking the Wei army, and the mountain is infinitely safer than the road, and the cavalry cannot rush up.

Ma Di was in a dilemma.

He really doesn't have many resources to deploy.The Han army was small in the first place. If Zhang Yun guarded both the mountain and the main road, he could concentrate his forces and use the elite cavalry as a spearhead to break through the defenders on the road.

No matter how you arrange it, it's hard to guarantee everything.

Therefore, leading the army up the mountain was on the basis of saving troops to the greatest extent, so that Zhang Yun did not dare to rush all the way west to help without any scruples.

However, after the predecessor urged the army to go up the mountain, he was still defeated, and the defeat was very simple.

While encircling the mountain, Zhang He sent troops to cut off the water source, although his predecessor (Ma Di) sent Huang Xi and Li Sheng to protect the water source in advance.But Zhang Yun sent troops to repel Huang Xi and Li Sheng, and controlled the water source.

After that, the Wei army surrounded without fighting. After seven days, the Han army lost its morale due to lack of water, and then launched an attack, and the Han army was defeated.

It can be seen that the key to this battle is not camping and ruling, but the water source.

When Ma Su made up his mind about his plan to camp on the mountain, he secretly called the system.

The system gave a response at the speed of light.

[Ding, Life of the Three Kingdoms Simulator starts. 】

[One day later, you led your army to Nanshan and found a natural Tianchi with a radius of hundreds of meters on the top of the mountain, so you decided to transport water from the bottom of the mountain up the mountain for storage.Lieutenant General Wang Ping believed that this would be useless and useless, and that camping up the mountain was too risky, so he insisted on dividing his troops to camp down the mountain ten miles away. 】

[You rejected Wang Ping, and ordered the soldiers to beat Wang Ping twenty sticks in the name of "disobedience to the command of the commander-in-chief" to enforce the law of the army. 】

[Your prestige -1, the soldiers are all dissatisfied, secretly complaining for Wang Ping. 】

[Three days later, with the concerted efforts of [-] soldiers who were so tired that they vomited blood, the tens of meters deep Nanshan Tianchi was fully charged. 】

[Your prestige -1, the general order is seriously unsatisfactory, and the sergeant complains. 】
