Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 597 Winter Attack 1
More than 100 miles outside the Great Wall, a large camp stands here. This is the main camp of the Xianbei Army. The tents of the Xianbei Army are located in a radius of more than ten miles. Due to the heavy snow in winter and the difficulty in transporting materials, the Xianbei Army also had to shrink. The line of defense temporarily put the camp together.

There have been a lot of troops coming to this camp recently, not only sergeants who came from other places to camp for the winter, but also reinforcements transferred from afar.The [-] cavalry team that appeared at the foot of the Great Wall before had already entered the camp.

This camp can now be said to have a complex composition, not only the Xianbei army, but also the Xiongnu army, and many Qiang troops who were called in. These grassland tribes want to use this time to launch a fierce attack on the Northern Xinjiang army. It's because the northern border army has put too much pressure on them these years. They didn't dare to resist before, but now that they have an opportunity, many tribes unite and send troops.

In the Xianbei army commander's tent, all the main leaders held meetings here.This time, two of the three leaders of Xianbei came. Ke Bineng and Fu Luohan can be regarded as the commanders-in-chief of the whole army. They should have had a position in Helian. Unfortunately, now that Helian is dead, his nephew takes his place. The boss succeeded. Compared with Helian, this tribal leader who wanted to take office was obviously much more low-key.

He did not object to sending troops this time, but responded positively. When everyone was electing the commander-in-chief of the army, he immediately elected Ke Bineng as the commander-in-chief. At the same time, the leader also contributed a lot to support the army going south to conquer the northern border Cattle, sheep and horses.

In short, this young leader does not want to offend anyone now, instead he keeps trying to please others.At this time, he was sitting next to a man in black. This man in black had traveled to and from the tribe a year ago. Later, after his uncle and Lian died, he gave him advice and kept his position as the leader of the tribe.

Ke Bi Neng was elected as the commander-in-chief of the coalition because of his outstanding talent, fair rewards and punishments, and the strength of his subordinates compared to Fu Luo Han. Normally, he would issue orders. Fortunately, he and Fu Luo Han There are not many conflicts and entanglements of interests between Han, so Fu Luo Han still supports him for the time being.

With the support of the other two big tribes on the grassland, Ke Bineng can now be regarded as the leader of Xianbei, and the entire battle is now basically under his command.

"The snow has been a little small in recent days." Ke Bineng looked at the crowd and said, "We came here this time to annihilate the elites of northern Xinjiang in one fell swoop, but this heavy snow gave them a little respite." .

We can't wait any longer. Taking advantage of the relatively light snow and the fact that we have built a lot of siege equipment recently, we are going to break through the Great Wall and break in. Do you have any opinions? If you have any, please raise them now. "

"Dare to ask the commander-in-chief, who is the current defender of the Great Wall." The leader of the ten thousand cavalry who appeared at the foot of the Great Wall before asked, clasping his hands: "How much do we know about him, what is his ability, and what is the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under his command?" ?”

"The leader of the Qin clan asked a good question." Ke Bi Neng nodded and smiled: "The Han people have a saying, which is called knowing yourself and knowing the enemy. Now that we want to break through the Great Wall, we must naturally have a certain understanding of the enemy.

As far as I know, the name of the current Great Wall guard is Meng Fu, and he is a young general who rose up a few years ago. They are brave and good at fighting, but most of them are infantry, and they can only defend the city, not field battles. "

"The surname is Meng, what a coincidence." The leader of the Qin clan nodded and didn't say anything else. He just wanted to know a little bit about the situation. The guest army who came from thousands of miles away is not familiar with the place here, so they can't provoke others casually.Sometimes, talking too much is also too conspicuous, and people will be jealous.

"The Great Wall is indeed a problem." Fu Luohan said: "We have stayed at the foot of the Great Wall for so long, and we could say that we were short of troops before, but now we have an army of more than 20, which is enough to break through the Great Wall and enter. , if we still stay outside the Great Wall, our food and grass may not last long."

"Yes, so we must attack now." Ke Bineng said: "The enemy must think that we will not launch a war in winter, but we must take advantage of this time to send troops. Youdao is a surprise. Now our army is in possession. As long as we can break through the Great Wall, we will go straight to Yanmen Pass, and after defeating the defenders of Yanmen Pass, the entire Bingzhou will be left at our disposal."

"The Great Wall is strong, how to break it?" Someone couldn't help asking: "If we attack by force, we may lose many soldiers."

That's the point. If it wasn't for this reason, the prairie army wouldn't have stayed on the prairie for so long. As long as they could break through the Great Wall, they would be able to fight the northern army directly, so that the war would not be delayed. go down.

"Actually, it's not difficult to break through the Great Wall, and it doesn't take many soldiers' lives." The man in black sitting next to the leader said, "It's because you guys make the problem complicated. Sometimes, if you think about it in a different way, say If you don’t know the problem, it will become very easy.”

"Oh? I don't know what a good plan Mister has." Ke Bi Neng respected the man in black very much, because this war was launched under his plan. Not long ago, he designed to frame Gongsun Xu, and then commanded Xianbei The army besieged Wen Chou's [-] troops, and then appeared in the eastern grassland of Xianbei to ambush Gongsun Zan and so on. All these things were all done by the man in black, although Ke Bineng didn't even know that the man in black was long. No matter what, but he understood that such a resourceful figure could not be offended by himself.

"Why do you always think that you must defeat all the defenders of the Great Wall?" In fact, although the Great Wall before our eyes is a majestic pass, haven't you realized that this majestic pass requires a lot of troops to hold it?

The Northern Xinjiang Army did not set up heavy guards on various strongholds. Isn’t this our chance? Although we have an army of 10,000+, it will definitely not work if we attack across the board. The weather is bad now, and we are uncomfortable. Northern Xinjiang The army must also be uncomfortable.

If we shrink our troops now and concentrate our elites to attack certain strongholds of the Great Wall, wouldn't it be better to open the situation from these strongholds?All we need is an entrance into the south side of the Great Wall, not tearing down the Great Wall, right? "

What the man in black said is very reasonable. The grassland army has stayed in the north of the Great Wall for too long. If they don't attack now, it will definitely make the northern army in Yanmen pass more prepared, so they must rush time.

"Sir, what you said is indeed very reasonable." Ke Bineng replied: "However, for the sake of safety, we should arrange enough troops to guard the rear, so as to ensure that we exit the Great Wall in case of emergency.

Therefore, the entrance and exit must be large enough, and it must be conducive to the passage of cavalry, otherwise, even if we enter the south of the Great Wall, it will still be very dangerous. I wonder if you have thought about this, sir? "

"Since ancient times, riches and honors have been sought from dangers. Is it because of this trivial matter that the great cause of conquest of the Northern Frontier Army has been delayed?" The man in black retorted: "Dare to ask the commander-in-chief, why did we send troops? If we can't break through the Yanmen Pass , even if we preserve our strength, so what, then this war will be a waste of time.

Now the enemy must not be fully prepared. As long as we cross the Great Wall and break through the Yanmen Pass, the northern army will have no danger to defend. Do you think we still need to worry about the rear?I'm afraid that what we have to do then is how to move all the troops to the south of the Great Wall to fight against the northern army. "

"This is not unreasonable." Fu Luohan seems to be moved. What he needs now is military exploits, what he needs is looting, and then grows his tribe. If he stays like this on the north side of the Great Wall, these few He won't get anything for a month.

Not only him, but most of the other leaders in the tent were moved. They led the people here just to plunder and make a fortune. If they always fight the enemy like this and don't get any benefit, they really don't have the mood to continue to waste money. go down.

"Since this is the case, then where do you think we should break through the Great Wall?" Ke Bineng asked: "Mr. is unparalleled in resourcefulness. It seems that he must have fully grasped it. Please teach me, sir."

"It's not completely sure, but it's very simple to break through the Great Wall." The man in black smiled and said: "According to this, there are three northern border army strongholds within a hundred miles, and the total number of defenders in the three strongholds does not exceed 500. People, in the past we have launched attacks on these three strongholds at the same time, this time, why not just attack the weakest one among them.

As long as we take down this stronghold, we will enter the south from here early in the morning, and the other strongholds will not be managed for the time being. At that time, the commander-in-chief will direct the army to go straight to Yanmen Pass. The frontier defense forces of the Northern Xinjiang Army will mainly concentrate on the Great Wall defense line. The best time to start. "

Everyone thought this was the case. According to reliable information, there are still many Han people and some small tribes in the south of the Great Wall who have not migrated. As long as they can cross the Great Wall, they will definitely make a fortune by then.

"Okay, since everyone agrees, then we'll do it this way." Ke Bi Neng nodded and glanced at the people in the tent, and then continued to ask: "Most soldiers from all ministries are here, why hasn't the Jie tribe come yet?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay when they heard this. It was the first time they heard about this Jie tribe, but they must be strong enough to be so arrogant and not lead troops here.

"Report to Commander-in-Chief, the Jie tribe will be the commander of the Xiongnu." Fu Luohan cupped his hands and said: "It is said that out of the 1 Jie tribe cavalry, [-] are wandering around, [-] are fighting in Caogu in the east, and [-] are going to the north to raise food and grass. I am afraid that only the Xiongnu Shanyu can recall them."

"It's a bastard, this group of people actually despise me so much." An order was sent to the Xiongnu Shanyu, asking him to call the Jie people to come and join us as soon as possible. Don't think that making a little contribution in the encirclement and suppression of Wen Chou's army can be used as an excuse for not obeying the military order. , If they are so presumptuous again, I will punish them first.
