Chapter 322: Xiangfan Battle 2

Not only Beigong Jing, but Yang Chen also saw it.

Many of the children of aristocratic families are only interested in enjoyment all day long, but many have been strictly trained since childhood. This type of person starts to be able to grow up, such as piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs, riding horses and archery, long swords and halberds, military strategies and strategies... they have to learn everything, and learn everything from them. What? These are too difficult, can't be learned? Oh, if you can't learn, you can go and be an insignificant little character, This whole family is considered to be without you, and it is hard to say whether they can enter the ancestral tomb after their death. I really think that the ancestral tombs of aristocratic families are so easy to enter? Who would dare to bury you without merits! So from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, more than a thousand years have passed. Most of the top generals and civil officials and counselors have come out of the aristocratic families. There are not many who really started from Hanwei and finally made great achievements, namely Wei Huo in the Western Han Dynasty, Deng Ai in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and Guan Yu in the Ji Han Dynasty.

The children of aristocratic families who can withstand the ten-year devilish training and finally make their mark are all ruthless characters who can be literary and martial. They can lead tigers and wolves to destroy cities and villages, and dismount can govern the country and ensure stability. Even if they are a scumbag in battle, their achievements in strategy should not be underestimated. For example, Wei Rui, Chen Qingzhi, and Xie Ai are all ruthless people who have changed the destiny of a country by themselves, but they are not even able to ride horses.

Of course, Yang Chen cannot compare with these great men, but it does not mean that he is only good at writing and writing. When he was young, he was also a tough character who could drive hundreds of steps to penetrate Yang. Well! Although he has never led many soldiers in his life, it does not mean that he knows nothing about leading troops to fight. Seeing the Hu people desperately strengthening the fortifications, he felt a little uneasy and said to Beigong Jing: "The Hu people were defeated but refused to retreat. They still dug deep trenches in Yiyang City. They had a large number of cavalry but refused to fight in the city. They behaved extremely abnormally, but they were afraid that their plans were not small."

Beigong Jing asked: "Sir Shizhong, what is the situation in Luoyang City?"

Yang Chen said: "It's very empty. The Taiwei almost took the elite forces of the entire Luoyang. If our army failed to attack Yiyang for a long time, the barbarians attacked from the direction of Mianchi and rushed to Yiyang, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Beigong Jing pondered and asked: "Can our army's scouts find out the movements of the main force of the Hu army in the direction of Mianchi?"

Yang Chen shook his head helplessly: "It's impossible! The barbarians are in Xin'an, and there are thousands of cavalry in each direction of Heyin, forming a tight blockade against Luoyang. Our army's scouts could not even move twenty miles away from the city!"

Beigong Jing frowned and said, "This is too dangerous..."

Yang Chen said: "Yes, it's very dangerous. Can a nephew have a solution?"

Beigong Jing said: "There are solutions to deal with it."

Yang Chen said: "Tell me more!"

Beigong Jing pointed to Mutu and said, "The main force of the Hulu army is in Mianchi. As long as they are willing, they can push the troops from Mianchi to the city of Luoyang in at most two days. Either they can break the city in one fell swoop with careful cooperation in Luoyang, or force our army to return from Yiyang to rescue Luoyang quickly. No matter what the situation is, our army will fall into extreme passiveness. Our army wants to deal with it, there are two ways: one is to immediately divide the troops, divide some elite troops to Xin'an, defeat the Hulu army active in Xin'an, recover Xin'an, and prepare to face the main force that may arrive when the Hulu Yin..."

Yang Chen frowned and said, "But there are still 30,000 elite barbarians in Yiyang City. If you divide your troops, you may not have enough troops to surround Yiyang. Maybe the army surrounding Yiyang is in danger of being retaliated by the barbarians in the city!"

Beigong Jing said: "The second solution is to take advantage of the initiative of the Hulu in the direction of Mianchi, and concentrate on attacking Yiyang with all its might and take Yiyang in the shortest time. As long as you take Yiyang, even if the main force of the Hulu is dispatched in full swing, our army can handle it calmly."

Yang Chen frowned even more: "But there are 30,000 elite barbarians in Yiyang City, and even more famous generals like Shi Le and Hu Yanyan. If you want to take Yiyang in a short time, it will be difficult to ascend to the sky!"

Beigong Jing said: "The Hulu had just suffered a big defeat in Xincheng. He was still scared. If he attacked with all his strength, he would have a great chance of winning. If he delayed it, it would be even more difficult to fight when their hearts settled."

Yang Chen was a little moved: "Can you really fight quickly and defeat Yiyang and defeat the 30,000 elite barbarians in Yiyang City?"

Beigong Jing said: "I can only say that I have some confidence."

Yang Chen was silent for a long time and made up his mind: "I'll go and talk to the Taiwei."

Beigong Jing said: "We have to do it as soon as possible. If we drag it down, our army may have a catastrophe!"

Yang Chen did not dare to neglect and went to see Sima Yue immediately.

Beigong Jing called Yang Jun, Yang Xiu, Li Rui, Xiao Yu and others to go out to observe the terrain, understand the enemy's troops deployment, and see if they could find flaws on the enemy's defense line.

Up to the heights, the Yiyang defense line was clear at a glance: Shi Le and Hu Yanyan really didn't even want to see him. He began to dig trenches two arrows away from the Yiyang city wall, and then there were fences and deer antlers. It surrounded Yiyang for several layers, densely packed so that it made people feel hurt. The fences and earthen towers were full of archers, and the crossbows and catapults on the Yiyang city wall could easily knock arrows and stones into the middle of the attacking team. It is not difficult to imagine how terrible the attacking side would have to pay if it attacked head-on.

Xiao Yu couldn't help but curse: "Didn't the Hulu always be proud of his strong bow and horse, coming and going like the wind? Why are you turning into a turtle now? What a hell!"

Yang Jun said: "Because they were afraid of being beaten."

Yang Xiu said: "They lost more than 20,000 people in the battle in Xincheng, and they were already scared. Now the denser the deer antlers are, the more they feel weak!"

Xiao Yu immediately laughed: "That's true! They are guilty, hehe!"

Beigong Jing did not participate in the discussion, but just carefully observed the enemy's fortifications and troops deployment to find loopholes. Not to mention, he really found several loopholes: due to the hasty time and the large project volume, the Hu people used a large number of trees that had just been cut down from the mountain when building fences and deer antlers, and many of the trees were seriously thin!

This is a huge flaw. Most of the trees that have just been cut down in winter are very crisp and too cold. If they don’t move, their branches will break. Some trees with a calves thickness, like Xu Hun, who are as strong as a cow, can be kicked down with one kick. The Hu people are good at cavalry warfare and short of infantry warfare. They rely on their large number of war horses and are very mobile. They do not pay much attention to camping and construction of field fortifications, etc. In fact, there is no need to pay attention to it, because in most cases, they can’t beat them and run away. The Central Plains dynasty army, which is mainly infantry, cannot catch up at all. Why should they stop in one place to fight defensive war? Since there is no need to fight defensive warfare, what’s the use of learning these?

Because of their lack of experience, famous generals such as Shi Le and Hu Yanyan made some low-level mistakes and used a large amount of wood that did not meet the specifications to build camps. They may not know that these wood that did not meet the scale will become weak environments in their carefully constructed defense lines. Once targeted attacks are encountered, they can easily become an ant hole that causes the collapse of the embankment.

He secretly recorded the fences with the largest amount of wood that were not up to standard and listed there as the target of the key attack. Seeing that Li Rui was also observing the enemy situation seriously, he was secretly happy: This lazy guy who was thinking about escaping Luoyang and finding a place where he could escape from the war and live his life, finally seemed to be a general.

He was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't show any expression on the surface. He asked, "Mr. Li Qu, if you were asked to command, how would you fight?"

Li Rui was also not vague and pointed to a hill south of Yiyang: "If I were to command, I would send troops to seize this hill first."

Yang Jun looked at the mountain and frowned and said, "Laolong Mountain? This mountain is a hundred feet high and the terrain facing Yiyang is steep. Even if you take it down, it will be difficult to attack Yiyang from a high place. This kind of place is not of great value."

Li Rui said: "But setting up a catapult on the mountain can easily smash stones weighing hundreds of pounds into every corner of Yiyang City, so that the enemy troops in the city cannot find a safe corner!"

Yang Jun said: "The catapult is not accurate enough, and it is difficult to cause too much casualties to the enemy."

Li Rui said: "There is no need to cause much casualties. Just let them know that it is not safe to stay in the city, and they may even die at any time!"

Beigong Jing pondered for a moment, turned his head and asked Zhang Xiong: "How many enemy troops are there on Laolong Mountain?"

Zhang Xiong said: "There are about 600 people."

Beigong Jing asked: "How about the camp?"

Zhang Xiong said: "Originally, the camp where our army built a village on the mountain had been razed to the ground in the battle. They cut down trees themselves and built three small wooden camps."

Beigong Jing asked Zhang Xuan: "Can you get one thousand people? Can you take down Laolong Mountain?"

Zhang Xuan said without hesitation: "As long as the Major General gives orders, he will be able to break through even if he is a sword, fire, and even if he is attacking a small hill?"

Beigong Jing said: "Okay, I'll send you a thousand people. You can find a way to figure out the situation of Laolongshan Camp and take it down for me within two days!"

Zhang Xuan bowed with fists and said, "Here!"

Li Rui frowned: "Why don't you let Zhang Xiong go?" After experiencing so many fierce battles on the front line together, he also knows Zhang Xiong better. The taciturn Liangzhou man is loyal and reliable, brave and good at fighting, and brave and resourceful. He is a rare general. Shi Le mobilized more than 7,000 cavalry to siege him and couldn't fight him. If he asked him to go, he would have a greater chance of winning Erlaoshan. Zhang Xuan has been staying in Xionger Mountain camp. He had never seen Zhang Xuan perform on the battlefield. Seeing Beigong Jing handing him such an important task, he was unsure.

Beigong Jing said: "Zhang Xiong has more important tasks and cannot move. Moreover, he is better at cavalry battles, so he is wasted by letting him attack the mountain."

Li Rui stopped talking immediately.

In terms of his understanding of these Liangzhou generals, he is far less than Beigong Jing. If he makes a fool of himself, he will easily get into trouble.
