The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 963 General Flying Tiger is the Pioneer

Later, Chang Maodai chose to take away Zhensheng's other Dawan warrior.

As for the bloody BMW, Cao Cao wanted not to accept it, but Zhen Sheng and the other four insisted, so Cao Cao accepted the two BMWs.As the so-called BMW matches a hero, Cao Cao asked Zhensheng to ride one of his own, and brought the other back to Dawan, and returned it to Dawan General Hantelie.

In fact, there is no shortage of good horses in the Han Dynasty. All the generals in Xizhou have BMWs as their mounts, and the top generals in other states and counties of the Han Dynasty basically have BMWs to accompany them.

Moreover, Cao Cao felt that there was no need to rush to obtain the BMW of Han blood. As long as he gained the friendship of Dawan, Dawan and Dahan would advance and retreat together, and there would be a steady stream of bloody BMWs in the future.If he eats badly, he will be inferior and let Da Wan despise him.

Chang Mao took Zhen Sheng and other two Dawan warriors and galloped all the way back to the Shule camp.

At this moment, Zhao Yun was also rectifying his troops in Gancheng, preparing to lead his troops to the Shule camp.

After Chang Mao returned to the camp, he told Li Cunxiao about Cao Cao's order.

In the past few days when Chang Mao went to Gancheng, Li Cunxiao has been rectifying his troops and preparing for the expedition, and now he has Cao Cao's order.On the same day, Li Cunxiao led his soldiers and horses across the Tianshan Mountains to the territory of Dawan.

The Shule camp had [-] soldiers, [-] cavalry, and [-] infantry. Li Cunxiao left behind [-] infantry and led Chang Mao, Shi Jiantang and other generals with [-] cavalry to Dawan.

But at this moment, the wind was icy cold, layers of snow had accumulated on the Tianshan Mountains, and the soldiers of the Han army were wrapped in layers to resist the severe cold, so their speed was not fast.

It took a full three days for Li Cunxiao to lead his troops across the Tianshan Mountains. Fortunately, he was careful along the way, and no soldiers and horses were buried on the Tianshan Mountains.

Think back to the first time when Li Guangli led tens of thousands of soldiers, marched into the Western Regions from the Dunhuang area to attack Dawan.The countries in the Western Regions did not help the Han army at that time, so Li Guangli had to attack cities along the way to obtain food and grass.

The big cities detoured, while the small ones attacked, so that it took Li Guangli more than a year to travel from Dunhuang to Dawan.When they arrived in Dawan, there were tens of thousands of soldiers and only a few thousand left, and the first attack on Dawan was nothing after that.

Fortunately, Liu Bian is now establishing Xizhou in the Western Regions. After years of management, Xizhou has become popular and extremely prosperous.Now that the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty stepped into the territory of Dawan again, not only did they not have to worry about food supplies, but it was Dawan who requested to send troops.Presumably Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would be pleased if Quanxia knew about it.

After Li Cunxiao led his soldiers and horses over the Tianshan Mountains, they arrived in the territory of Dawan. Between Dawan and Guishuang, the Tianshan Mountains were the boundary.

"Order the soldiers and horses to set up camp in a wide area, Shi Jiantang, you personally lead the cavalry to investigate the situation!" Li Cunxiao ordered the soldiers and horses under his command.

Of the two Dawan warriors who followed, one was Zhen Sheng, and Zhen Sheng did not object to Li Cunxiao's order.The other cavalryman was anxious, and hurriedly said: "General An, Guishan City, the capital of my Dawan Kingdom, is in danger now. Please send troops to rescue Guishan City as soon as possible."

Li Cunxiao frowned slightly, and Zhen Sheng on the side hurriedly scolded: "You don't know how to march and fight, so don't talk nonsense. It has been seven or eight days since we arrived in Dahan. Those Guishuang cavalry who chased us must have gone back to report to Tu Ge That's it. Tuggs will definitely not sit back and watch the big man's soldiers and horses pass by, but instead arrange an ambush in secret. If he marches rashly, he will definitely encounter accidents.

Now I still have [-] troops in Guishan City, and General Han Terley personally commands them. It won’t be a problem if you persist for two months. "

The Dawan warrior heard Zhen Sheng's words and quickly apologized to Li Cunxiao: "I'm sorry, General, please forgive me."

Li Cunxiao listened to the translator's explanation, looked at Zhensheng appreciatively, nodded and said: "It's okay, you are also worried about your capital, I understand your current mood, but you must calm down and not be impulsive when leading troops to fight. Don't say these things anymore."

Then Shi Jiantang personally led a team to survey the terrain nearby, so as to prevent Guishuang soldiers from occupying the nearby terrain in advance and breaking out at night.

On Li Cunxiao's side, he commanded the soldiers to set up camp. Now that they have gone down the Tianshan Mountains, the temperature has risen, but it is still cold winter. It is necessary to build a camp so that the soldiers can have a good rest.

Not long after, Shi Jiantang led the troops back.

At this moment, the Han army camp has been established, and all the generals and schools gathered in the warm camp to discuss the next action.

"General, I sent scouts to investigate the surrounding area. The terrain in Dawan is flat, and there is no place to hide troops within a radius of twenty miles. As long as we are careful tonight, we will be fine." Shi Jiantang said to Li Cunxiao, clasping his hands.

"That's good!" Li Cunxiao nodded, reassured, looked at the map and said: "To the west of Guishan City, our army is a hundred miles away from here, and there are many cities along the way. It will occupy the cities along the way and block the way of our army.

Today, the Tianshan Mountains are extremely cold and extremely steep. If they want to use food, grass and luggage, they have to rely on soldiers to carry them, and they cannot use horse-drawn carts and the like.Therefore, food and grass have become a major problem for our army. As long as Guishuang soldiers and horses intercept our army's way and delay for a few days, our army will retreat because of the exhaustion of food and grass. "

After listening to Li Cunxiao's words, Zhensheng said immediately: "General, you don't have to worry about the food and grass. You big men sent troops to rescue us in Dawan. Where do you need your big men to supply food and grass? Because Guishuang and Mongolia suddenly attacked the capital of Dawan. , have not yet occupied the county towns, I will go to the nearby cities and let the people in the city raise food and grass, then you just need to send troops to get it, General."

Li Cunxiao originally had this plan, and when he saw Zhen Sheng's initiative, he readily agreed, and said: "I'm afraid that Guishuang's soldiers and horses will take action at the moment, and there is a high possibility that they will ambush them in the nearby cities. I will ask General Shi Jiantang to lead a thousand cavalry. Let's move together with you, you must be careful, if you find something wrong with any city, go there and don't enter the city rashly."

"Yes, we must be careful!" Shi Jiantang and Zhen Sheng said, clasping their hands.

In the next few days, Shi Jiantang and Zhen Sheng led troops to nearby cities to raise food and grass.

There are also more than a dozen large cities in the east of Dawan. They ran for three days and informed the people of seven or eight nearby cities. Spontaneously organized manpower to raise food and grass, and only waited for the Han army to fetch it.

On this day, Shi Jiantang and Zhen Sheng arrived at a big city in the east. This city is called Yucheng City, and it is a rare big city in the east of Dawan. .

However, some time ago, the defenders in the city went to rescue Dawan, but they were annihilated by Mongolia, and Yu Chengcheng became a city without an owner.

Speaking of Yu Chengcheng, he is also quite famous in history. The first time Li Guangli attacked Dawan in history, he suffered a setback in Yu Chengcheng, and then had no choice but to retreat.The second time they came to attack, they were unable to attack for a long time, so they had to bypass Yu Chengcheng and directly attack Guishan City, the capital of Dawan Kingdom.

And after Li Guangli's main force left, King Yu Cheng in Yucheng City also led the defenders to defeat the follow-up troops of the Han Dynasty, and played an important role in the battle between Dawan and the Han Dynasty.

Yu Chengcheng was able to reach the attack of the Han army's tens of thousands of troops, one can imagine its strength.

Shi Jiantang and Zhen Sheng led [-] cavalry to arrive at the city of Yu Cheng, thinking that Yu Cheng is a big city, so they should be able to raise a lot of food and grass.But he didn't want to come to the city, but found that the gate of Yu Chengcheng was closed, and there were soldiers and horses stationed on the top of the city.

Zhensheng looked intently, and saw that there were Hun cavalry and Guishuang soldiers and horses on the top of the city, and there were not a few of them. There were thousands of defenders on the top of the city, but he didn't know if there were any soldiers and horses in the city.

Zhen Sheng said to Shi Jiantang with a gloomy face: "General Shi, Guishuang soldiers and horses came one step earlier and occupied Yu Chengcheng in advance. Yu Chengcheng is the only way to enter Guishan in the east. Although it can be bypassed, it must be from the city. Pass by. We don’t know how many defenders there are in the city, if we pass by rashly, the soldiers and horses in the city will suddenly leave the city and attack from the rear, or cut off our food and grass supplies.”

Shi Jiantang nodded when he heard the words. This is where the troubles of marching and fighting are.

Generally, when attacking the enemy forces, there are two options. One is to take every step at a time and collect them one by one.The second is to defeat its main force head-on and raid important military locations. For example, in the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao led his troops to raid Yuan Shao's Wuchao and burned Yuan Shao's food and grass, directly defeating Yuan Shao, causing Yuan Shao to flee directly and abandoning a large number of cities. .

The most taboo thing is to blatantly bypass the enemy in front of you and attack the enemy's rear. The ancients marched and fought, and few people would do this.And secretly dispatching soldiers and horses to attack by detour, this is called a surprise attack, and it cannot be regarded as such.

Marching and fighting like this, there are too many loopholes. This enemy army can cut off your food and grass after you leave, and can also raid your rear. Therefore, ordinary people marching and fighting, either directly defeat the main force, or step by step, collecting from each city.

If this is the case, unless the enemy in front of you is very weak, it will not have much impact on your troops.In this case, it is possible to ignore the army in front of him and directly go around and attack his rear.

Yu Chengcheng in front of him is like this.

If the Han army wanted to go to Guishan City, they would either pass through Yu Chengcheng and go directly to Guishan City, or take Yu Chengcheng.

But right now the number of soldiers and horses in Yucheng City is not clear to the Han army. If the defenders in Yucheng City raid the rear of the Han army or cut off the Han army's supplies after bypassing Yu Chengcheng rashly, the Han army is bound to be defeated. up.

As for the siege, Yu Chengcheng is tall and strong, so I'm afraid it's not so easy to attack.

"Guishuang and the Mongolian soldiers and horses deliberately did not expose the strength of the soldiers and horses in the city, so that our army hesitated. It consumed our army's food and grass and dragged down our army." Shi Jiantang looked at Guishuang and the Mongolian soldiers and horses on the top of the city. His face was gloomy.
