Han counter current

"Well, it makes sense, then tell me, how to solve the current situation?"

"Simple, he, Sima Yi, made it clear that he wanted to fight us to the death, and the initiative has always been in our hands, hmph, why should we fight at his pace.

When a man uses troops, when the combination of righteousness and strangeness, general, you lead the main force to attract the main force of the enemy army on the front line, and you can send a partial division to the enemy's back to deal a fatal blow. "

After Wei Yan finished speaking, he automatically shut up. From his point of view, he only needs to answer the questions, and leave the rest to Xu Huang himself.

After hearing Wei Yan's explanation, Xu Huang, the chief general, and Xu Shu, the military adviser, both nodded in agreement. It seemed that they had already had this idea.

"If you didn't have this stinky face, I would still reward you with a glass of wine today. Huh, tell me, if I gave you three thousand elite soldiers, how would you go around the enemy's rear?"

"Huh? Hehe, general, look at what you said, I just have a short temper. I pay attention to being quick, accurate and ruthless when I go around the enemy's rear, and I will be caught off guard if I want to kill the enemy.

The terrain in Jingnan is complicated, there are many mountains and rivers, and three thousand soldiers and horses are dispatched as too many partial divisions, so it is not easy to hide.If the subordinates lead the army, they only need a thousand elites, but they must provide me with enough dry food, strong bows and crossbows and other equipment. "

As soon as he heard that he was very likely to lead the army in battle, Wei Yan's stinky face immediately burst into laughter. It seemed that he had already thought about how to use partial divisions to fight.

"It makes sense, 3000 troops are indeed a little too much. Hmph, you are wise, so how about this, you immediately go to count the [-] elites, and give priority to the selection of grain and grass materials, and come back later to report the plan to me. The rest, continue now." Give me thinking about how to reduce casualties in frontal combat,,,,,, "

Chapter 830

At night, the noise in the barracks stopped. Xu Huang had always been strict in running the army, and the sergeants were not allowed to make noise at night. The whole camp looked so desolate and quiet.

In Xu Huang's camp, he, Xu Shu, and Wei Yan are the only ones now. The three of them have discussed the next plan for an hour, and what to do next has basically been finalized.

"General, this is the idea of ​​my subordinates. I will lead a thousand elites, and now we will divide the troops with the main force. I will cross the mountains and mountains to the back of the enemy army with my troops, and wait for the opportunity to fight.

According to the deduction of his subordinates, Sima Yi's ultimate goal is to retreat to the middle of Shu. There are two roads from Wuling to Shu, the closest is Fuling, and the farthest is Badong.

Judging from the deployment of the enemy army, Sima Yi has already dragged the battle line to the territory of Yidu, that is to say, he chose to enter Shu from Badong. If our army follows the current combat method, it is afraid that we will have to attack continuously for more than two months Only then will it be possible to win the land of Jingnan. "

Wei Yan's arrogance is based on his own ability. After arriving at Xu Huang's camp, he began to think about the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and ourselves, especially in this kind of mountain warfare. imagined.

Now, for Sima Yi, delaying time and extending the front line is the best choice. Although the fate of escape cannot be avoided, it can cause losses to Xu Huang's side to the greatest extent.

"It makes sense. The military advisor and I inferred the same before. Badong is the only way for Sima Yi to pass. In fact, we have considered for a long time about sending partial troops to fight today. After much deliberation, we still have to let you lead the army.

However, there are some things I want to make clear to you. Leading a partial division is a huge task, and the danger is also quite high. After all, you not only have to fight the enemy, but also have to face the harsh environment.

There is no logistics, no reinforcements, and only when the enemy army is defeated can you be out of danger, otherwise, your entire army may be wiped out at any time, which is why I have been unable to make a decision. "

"Haha, the general's concerns are not unreasonable, it's just that the general and the military adviser look down on me too much. I have been training elite mountain troops in Hanzhong for so long, is it true that I can only train [-] elite troops?

To be honest, when the lord first learned that I was training elite mountain troops, he gave instructions and suggestions many times. Among them, the lord specifically asked us to achieve the goal of survival in the wild for a small group of troops.

This is also the reason why I rejected the general's offer of [-] soldiers and horses today. Among the [-] elites I selected, many were hunters of barbarian origin.

They are good at running and hunting in the mountains and forests, and they can also identify the direction and find water sources in the vast forest. Most importantly, they are all excellent hunters.

Making traps, laying traps, placing traps and other means can allow them to obtain enough prey, which also ensures that they can survive for three months away from the main force.

Hehe, my personal soldiers also participated in similar training. Although they still can't adapt to the wild like those barbarians who were born and raised in the mountains, they can still survive in the harsh environment.

So, general, you can let go of your many worries now, hehe, back then even the lord personally praised the elites I trained, this time, I will definitely not let you down. "

Wei Yan spoke very confidently, as arrogantly as he used to be, if the one standing in front of him was not his chief general, and the other was a military adviser in the army, this guy's nostrils would have turned to the sky.

"Good boy, let me tell you, so you are well prepared, no wonder the lord mentioned in the letter that he would consider naming the elite troops you trained, heh heh, yes, there is a bit of aggressiveness.

Tell me, how do you plan to fight, how do you need me to cooperate with you, if you win this time, I will take the lead, and I will also ask for credit for you when the time comes. "

"Haha, I knew that my lord has not forgotten the original promise. General, it is said that you will not accept military orders abroad, and the fighters are changing rapidly, especially for such a small group of partial divisions. No matter how many plans you have, you can't keep up with the changes. Therefore, Sorry for not being able to answer you.

However, I think that if there is another battle to attack the enemy's pass in the future, the general can send troops to feign a frontal attack, and at the same time send a small group of troops to detour to intercept the enemy's food route. The pass, like this, can also reduce the casualties of the brothers, right? "

"As far as you are smart, hmph, the military division has already thought of anything you can think of, but these days it has to be done in order to create a false impression for the enemy."

"Hehe, General Xu, don't be angry. General Wei Yan's suggestion is very suitable for the current situation. It is also very helpful for our army to reduce casualties. Right now, we should cooperate with General Wei Yan's division of troops."

"Military commander, don't praise him. This kid doesn't know how to praise. I'm afraid I'll praise him a little more. This guy is so proud of himself. Wei Yan, remember me, I'm the leader here. If you give him I lost face, hum, let's see how I deal with you later.

Also, although this battle is dangerous, it is irrelevant to the overall situation. If something cannot be done, there is no need to force it. We have more opportunities. Your most important task is to accumulate experience for the small army to fight behind enemy lines, understand? "

"Understood, hehe, didn't the general just tell me that I must come back alive? This, general, is accumulating experience to prepare for the future attack on Yizhou?"

"Military teacher, what I just said, this guy can't help boasting that he can open a dyeing workshop by giving him some color. This guy has not finished the matter before him, so he is worried about the future. Hmph, General Wei Yan, you shouldn't ask Yes, don't ask, understand?"

"No, this subordinate understands,,,,,,"

After agreeing on the plan, Wei Yan led a thousand elites to leave before dawn, and Xu Huang also changed his previous strategy and adopted a strategy of encircling the enemy's pass without attacking it.

Soon, the gates set up by Sima Yi surrendered one after another under the siege of Xu Huang's army. After all, not all of them were loyal to the Sima family's elite. When the food and grass were cut off and the rear road was cut off, few troops were able to resist. .

In less than ten days, Sima Yi lost more than a dozen passes and lost more than [-] soldiers. The cities in the southwest of Wuling fell one after another, and Sima Yi had to lead the remaining troops to retreat in the direction of Yidu.

In Yidu, in a remote mountain forest, a group of men dressed in short clothes rested here. It seemed that they came here in an emergency and seemed to have lost their way.

"My lord, I found out. We walked too fast and have already reached the hinterland of Yidu. Sima Yi's troops have just withdrawn into Yidu, and Xu Huang's army is still in Wuling."

"Understood, then we don't have to go forward, pass the order to go down and have a good rest, you lead people to continue to inquire,,,,,,"

Chapter 831

In the mountain forest, more than a dozen men dressed as hunters were advancing. While checking the terrain, they recognized their orientation at a glance, and basically communicated with each other through gestures or whistles. If they didn't know, they thought they couldn't speak.

From a mountain depression in the distance, there was a burst of blue smoke, and it seemed that someone was living there. When the dozen hunters approached, they found that there were more than 200 people building camps and grilling their prey.

Half an hour later, these hunters came back to join Wei Yan's large army, and also reported the situation they had found out before. What to do next depends on Wei Yan's decision.

"More than 200 people? Building a camp? Could it be bandits? Can you see what they look like?"

"There are so many enemy soldiers, we dare not get too close. They look like bandits, but they are more elite than ordinary bandits. Moreover, they seem to have just migrated from another place and want to live there permanently."

"It doesn't matter, there are basically few good things living in this mountain forest. Since there are only more than 200 people, we should deal with them. If you want to blame them, blame them for blocking our way forward."

Wei Yan's plan was to cross over to the border between Badong and Yidu in the shortest possible time. The group of unidentified bandits in front of them blocked their way, and of course there was only one dead end.

Two hours later, Wei Yan led his troops to rest in the camp of the bandits. The annihilation battle went smoothly. How could more than 200 bandits be opponents of his thousand elites.

It's just that there are too many doubts about these bandits, and Wei Yan still hasn't figured it out.Right now, the most important task is to take a quick rest and move on, and he doesn't have much time to think about other issues.

More than ten days later, Wei Yan successfully led his troops to the predetermined location, and at this moment, Xu Huang also successfully forced Sima Yi to the west of Yidu. Several battles broke out between the two sides, but after that, Sima Yi did not retreat.

From Wuling to Yidu, there was not enough food and grass supply along the way. Xu Huang's side has now fallen into a state of solitary expedition. If he hadn't wiped out too many enemy troops before, I am afraid he would not continue to attack here.

Today, there are still more than 1 people following Sima Yi, and Xu Huang brought less than [-] troops to Yidu. The difference in the strength of the two sides is not too big, and the logistics pressure on Xu Huang's side is obvious. bigger.

Just when Sima Yi was about to give Xu Huang a big gift, he was startled by a message from the messenger behind.An unknown army suddenly appeared and burned most of the food and grass they had hoarded on the western border of Yidu. Right now, there is less than ten days' worth of food in the army.
