Chapter 545: Street Pavilion Defense: Anticipate the enemy first(1/2)
When Liu Feng led more than ten thousand Han troops to Jieting, even though he had already learned about the landforms of some Jietings from the locals, he still couldn't help but frowned after seeing the landforms of Jieting with his own eyes.
From Liu Feng's perspective, the street pavilion he was in was surrounded by mountains on both the north and south sides, leaving only a highway several miles wide from east to west.
According to common sense, there are high mountains on the north and south sides as natural bunkers, so the street pavilion should be regarded as a rare place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
It's like a mountain road hidden in the mountains outside the sword pavilion.
But Jieting is different from Jiange. The mountain roads outside Jiange are mostly narrow and rugged, making it difficult for the army to march or even launch an attack under such conditions.
However, although the road to Jieting also has rugged and winding places, there is a flat area that is several miles wide in a certain section.
That flat area is the throat of the entire street pavilion.
Standing on a high mountain, Liu Feng quickly overlooked the entire landscape of street pavilions.
And it was when he saw that flat and wide area that he couldn't help but frown.
If the road to the street pavilion is as narrow as the Jiange Mountain Road, he can easily block the Wei army from the street pavilion by entering the village from the road.
As long as the supply of food and grass is endless, he can keep the Wei army at bay.
But the landscape of the street pavilion has a wide area.
If we want to successfully intercept the Wei army and prevent them from crossing the street pavilion, that wide area must be fought over.
However, due to the flatness and width of the terrain, if the Han army were to attack the stronghold at that location, the geographical advantage would be minimized.
The most important thing is that if they want to successfully block the Wei army on a strategic road that is several miles wide, the fortresses built by the Han army must expand horizontally along with the terrain.
There should be no loophole left that the Wei army could take advantage of.
If you have enough troops, this is no problem.
But Liu Feng currently only has more than 10,000 troops.
With more than ten thousand troops, it is no longer an easy task to build an impregnable camp that spans several miles in a short period of time.
What's more, in this large camp that stretches for several miles, troops will be dispersed everywhere to block the Wei army's fierce attack.
Any veteran knows that this matter will become more and more difficult as time goes by.
No wonder before leaving, His Majesty once said to him: "A street pavilion is easy to defend, but it is not easy to defend."
At that time, Liu Feng didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but after seeing the real landscape of the street pavilion, he understood why Liu Bei told him this sentence.
I also understood why Liu Bei gave him 10,000 Han troops.
Just as Liu Feng frowned and walked down the mountain, several young Liangzhou generals also climbed up a high mountain and saw the whole street pavilion clearly.
Ding Feng, Deng Ai, Zhang Yi, Jiang Wei and other four young players are either experienced people or talented people.
Naturally, they could also see at a glance the advantages and disadvantages that the street pavilion landform brought to the Han army.
After the judgment emerged in their hearts, several young generals discussed it with each other.
Ding Feng took the lead and said: "Our army must immediately go to the stronghold!"
Before and after Ding Feng surrendered to Mi Yang, he played the role of attacking first. Those who are good at attacking are often also good at finding the weaknesses of the defender.
In Ding Feng's opinion, the only way to defend the street pavilion is to go to the village directly.
As for the mountains on both sides of Jieting Road, Ding Fengzheng didn't even take a look at them.
Even if it is said in the military book: "If you look down from high, you will be invincible."
But there wouldn't be any fool who would give up the strategy of moving the army to the mountains to defend it, right?
Ding Feng's words made Zhang Yi nod involuntarily.
"Of course."
Although Zhang Yi also saw that going down to the stronghold was not a permanent way to stop the Wei army.
But this is due to the limited terrain of the street pavilion.
Moreover, even though the terrain of Jieting is not as dangerous as Jiange, it has already helped the Han army a lot.
For example, the steep mountains on both sides have become natural barriers for the Han army in the north and south.
Without these two natural barriers, it would be almost impossible to defend the wide Jieting Road with an army of 10,000, especially when the Wei army had cavalry.
The steep mountains on Jieting Road provided the most basic possibility for the Han army to hold on to Jieting.
In this case, there is no need to ask for too much.
After all, how many places in the world are as dangerous as Jiange?
Besides, if Jieting was really as dangerous as Jiange, he didn't think Wei Jun would foolishly lead his troops to Jieting to die.
It is precisely because the terrain of the street pavilion is both defensible and attackable that the armies of the Han and Wei dynasties paid close attention to this place.
After Zhang Yi agreed with Ding Feng's speech, Deng Ai then made an inference:
"If the enemy general is good at fighting, he will definitely lead his troops to attack from left and right in the future, making our army exhausted."
Deng Ai's tone was solemn.
Compared with Ding Feng's inference, Deng Ai's inference was more profound. He had already predicted in advance the tactics that Wei might adopt in the future.
After listening to Deng Ai's inference, Ding Feng and Zhang Yi's expressions became solemn involuntarily.
What Deng Ai was talking about was the tactic of using point arrancar.
If the enemy general could really come up with such a tactic, it would indeed be very detrimental to the Han army.
With a solemn expression, Zhang Yi exhaled heavily and agreed again:
"Of course."
Zhang Ni's two words of approval made Ding Feng and Deng Ai both look at him.
Don't you know how to say anything other than nature?
Faced with the gazes of his two colleagues, Zhang Ni lowered his head and thought for a while, then immediately looked at Jiang Wei.
Zhang Yi's eyes were filled with inquiry.
It seems to be saying: Ding Feng and Deng Ai have expressed their opinions, what about you?
Zhang Yi had already made preparations to say "Ran Ye" for the third time.
When Zhang Ni looked at Jiang Wei, Ding Feng and Deng Ai also followed Zhang Ni's gaze and turned their eyes towards Jiang Wei.
Suddenly, Jiang Wei was stared at by three colleagues, which made Jiang Wei feel at a loss.
It's not that Jiang Wei doesn't have opinions in his heart, it's just that on the way to Jieting, Jiang's mother warned Jiang Wei many times that he was a subordinate and his status was sensitive, so he shouldn't express himself too much at first.
Jiang Wei took Mother Jiang's warning to heart, but he did have an opinion in his heart that he wanted to hold back. This contradictory mentality made Jiang Wei feel at a loss.
Jiang Wei's confusion fell into the eyes of the three people. Deng Ai first smiled contemptuously, then turned and walked down the mountain.
A look of understanding immediately appeared on the faces of Zhang Yi and Ding Feng.
How can those who entertain the Lord with sex have any real talent and learning?
It's because their requirements are too high.
After Deng Ai walked down the mountain, Zhang Ni and Ding Feng saw that they couldn't ask anything about Jiang Wei, so they also walked down the mountain.
Seeing the three comrades leaving one after another, Jiang Wei could only follow them down the mountain.
Just as he was walking down the mountain, Jiang Wei turned back three times every step.
Jiang Wei turned his head and stared at the rolling mountains.
He couldn't help but have a question in his mind:
Why do everyone only think about defense and use offense instead of defense? Isn't that okay?
...
After the four young generals from Liangzhou all walked down the mountain, Liu Feng's herald arrived and summoned all four of them to him.
Liu Feng looked at the four young generals from Liangzhou who had arrived. He knew what the four of them had just done.
But Liu Feng didn't take it seriously.
Liu Feng knew Liu Bei's intention in sending Ding Feng and several others as his lieutenants, and Liu Feng did not object to this intention.
Because he himself was promoted step by step under similar arrangements back then.
And although Liu Feng was not happy with Mi Yang's previous attempt to sabotage his move to become Liu Bei's deputy general, and he was also dissatisfied with some aspects of Mi Yang, Liu Feng was not willing to embarrass the people under Mi Yang's command.
Liu Feng, who has his eyes higher than his head, often doesn't pay too much attention to people he doesn't care about.
After taking a glance at the four generals in front of him, Liu Feng finally focused on Ding Feng.
Ding Feng is the most famous general under Mi Yang.
Liu Feng looked at Ding Feng and said to him: "Although the rebel army has not arrived yet, the street pavilion is very important. It will only take a month at most, and most of the rebel army will definitely appear in the street pavilion.
And if you want to defend the street pavilion, you have to go down to the village directly."
After saying these words, Liu Feng turned around and picked up a camp layout map from the desk behind him.
