The Three Kingdoms

Zhao Yun stood on top of the sand table in the tent, looking down at the large sand table within a hundred miles of the entire Jiuyuan City, his thoughts were turning: "We have completed the first step of the plan. We took the initiative to enter the ambush circle, and when we attacked the city It consumes a lot, and to a certain extent, it can be regarded as the vigilance of the paralyzed Xiongnu army!"

"At present, our plan is indeed going very smoothly. The main reason is Jia Wenhe's cooperation, which allowed us to avoid many scout points of the Xiongnu army. Vaux City!"

Pang Tong was a little worried: "However, it is strange that the main force of the Xiongnu army has been hovering in Guangmu City, and has not moved towards Jiuyuan for a long time. It must be that Huchuquan, the great Khan of the Huns, is still considering it. This person's caution It is his instinct that has settled down for many years, and he will never enter the army until the last moment, and if he reacts in time, he will be able to withdraw to the prairie in the end before he is caught in the Jiuyuan battlefield!"

"Such a great opportunity can annihilate our entire blood wolf army. Will he withdraw his troops obediently?"

A staff member of the Legion's staff department asked.

"Hard to say!"

Another army staff officer retorted: "Huchuquan became the Great Khan of the Huns but tolerated Liu Bao to go to Beishanquan. He endured for many years, and then took back the power of the Huns from Liu Bao to Bei bit by bit, unified the Southern Huns, and became a veritable The profuse sweat, this person is very scheming, and cautious, you can also say that he is suspicious and timid, just like a tortoise, if he finds something is wrong, he will shrink his head. Once he finds out the danger, he may lead the main force to retreat northward. Get out of the Central Plains!"

"I appreciate Staff Officer Liu's words!"

A thin-faced staff officer said: "At present, we still need to be cautious, try not to expose the slightest bit of our strategic purpose, and the most important point, firmly hold on to the news of the Battle of Beizhou, and don't let this news spread to Huchuquan. In the ear!"

"Huchuquan's ambition is not small. He has been patient for many years, and now he has the hope of taking back the Hetao Plain. He will not withdraw from the Central Plains so willingly, but it cannot be denied that he will withdraw troops. What Staff Officer Xu said is correct. It mainly depends on the Battle of Beizhou Can you hide the news!"

Pang Tong narrowed his eyes slightly: "To a certain extent, the Battle of Beizhou ignored us a little. Their progress was too fast. If Hu Chuquan knew that Liu Bao's [-] elites had been completely wiped out, he would definitely start a war. Be on guard, he might withdraw his troops, once he withdraws, I'm afraid we can only go deep into the prairie to compete with them, if we continue to fight like this, we won't be able to finish fighting for a few years!"

They were a little surprised when the results of the Battle of Beizhou came out.

Hit too fast.

It should be said that Liu Bao was eaten too quickly.

If the two or three armies cooperate to fight together, it is the best policy to surround Liu Bao and eat Liu Bao one by one to delay the situation.

"The imperial court will not allow us to waste a few years on the grassland!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yun finally shook his head: "From next year onwards, the center of gravity of the Military Aircraft Division will move westward and focus on the Roman army. Therefore, within this year, we must end the war against the Huns!"

The vastness of the prairie was a natural battlefield for the Xiongnu army, but for the Wu army, it was a waste of time.

Every general in the Wu army has never doubted the victory of this battle.

The Great Wu Dynasty has now unified the Central Plains, which can be said to be a fertile land with strong troops and horses.

There are ten regiments in the regular formation of the Wu army, plus a reserve regiment, with more than 150 million elites. They are not the county soldiers and county soldiers like before, but are all well-trained professional soldiers.

There is a monarch who strives hard to govern, and a perfect and unified order below. There are unparalleled fierce generals and countless wise generals. If you want weapons, you have weapons, and you need food and grass. Every general who goes to the battlefield does not need to think about other issues, as long as he focuses on fighting...

Such a battle cannot be won.

But time is the biggest problem.

If they can't end the war against the Huns within this year, it will be very detrimental to the western campaign.

Wu Jun's biggest enemy has never been the so-called grassland nomads.

It was the Roman Empire far in the west.

The elite Roman army.

"Even if they want to withdraw in the end, we must block their way back to the prairie!"

Zhao Yun added a sentence, and said firmly: "If we can't end them on the Jiuyuan battlefield, our battle will be a failure, a complete failure!"

"However, both Wuyuan County and Shuofang County are on the verge of the prairie. They only need to take a horse step to pass. If they want to run, we will never be able to stop them!"

Pang Tong smiled bitterly: "Commander, it's not that we don't want to block the prairie, but that we don't have the troops to block the prairie to the north!"

"Commander, Chief of Staff, I think we've thought too much. The Jiuyuan Campaign is the most important thing at present. According to our current information channels, we know that the main force of the Xiongnu is already 23!"

A staff officer opened the file: "And the most important thing for the Xiongnu army is the reserve service. The Xiongnu is a nomadic people who are all soldiers. The old and young men and even breastfeeding women who take notes can go to battle. That's a few million. Don't talk about blocking the prairie. In the Battle of Jiuyuan, our troops were all tense, and it is already very good to win, but it may be very difficult to encircle and suppress with all our strength!"

"The two legions of Beizhou are heading north, and our strength is not weak!"

Another staff officer retorted.

"During the flood detention in Beizhou, our two legions encircled and suppressed 16 Huns cavalry, and their soldiers were also injured a lot, especially the Eighth Army and No.[-] Army. They were so damaged that they had to return to Yongzhou to replenish their troops and recuperate!"

Another staff officer said: "Although the Battle of Beizhou is over now, Beizhou is still in chaos. In order to suppress Beizhou, they must leave some troops behind. The two legions can have [-] troops going northward, which is already the limit. , plus the strength of our blood wolf army, at most it will be equal to the main force of the Huns!"

"That's the biggest problem!"

Zhao Yun stretched out his hand and pinched his temples: "Without enough troops to carry out the policy of encirclement and suppression, it is difficult for a smart woman to live without rice. If they win the battle, the remnant soldiers of the Huns will flee back to the grasslands. After they have cultivated for ten years, they will make a comeback again, and then they just don't play. It's time to fight!"

A case of winning more with less will always be just a case of war.

On the battlefield, never expect the luck of using a small number of troops to defeat the majority. He is willing to use three times the number of troops to encircle a battle that can be surrounded by twice the number of troops, because it can reduce casualties.

"Report!"

At this time, a cavalry scout galloped into the camp, jumped off his horse, and stood outside the main tent door, shouting loudly.

"Come in!"

"Report to Commander, this is a secret report sent by the imperial court from the flying pigeons in Jinling City!"

"Submit it immediately!"

"Yes!"

The scout handed over the court's secret report respectfully.

"Hahaha, good!"

Zhao Yun opened this secret report, looked at it carefully, and immediately smiled: "This time the court has solved the biggest problem for us. Next, we can let go and fight the Huns!"

"Could it be that the imperial court is going to increase our troops?"

Pang Tong's eyes lit up, Zhao Yun was worried about the strength of the troops, and what made Zhao Yun so happy was that the court wanted to increase the number of troops.

"look by youself!"

"Let me see!"

Pang Tong brought the secret report over, looked at it, his eyes were shining brightly, and a smile appeared on his weird face: "Sun Bofu is going north? The Wild Lion Army will draw some cavalry from the northern grassland and go directly to the battlefield to go north? Good, too Well, the court has solved the most difficult problem for us!"

"The imperial court has increased its troops?"

"So the problem we're worried about isn't a problem at all!"

"With the cavalry of the Wild Lion Legion completely blocking the north, even if their remnants can escape, they can't escape our encirclement and suppression. We can give up the worry about them fleeing back to the grassland!"

"In this way, we don't have to tie our hands and feet, and we can fight with our hands free!"
