Three Kingdoms: Counselor, You Still Say You Don't Understand Strategy?

However, there were no torches on the other side. On the surface, there was no sign of the Xiliang Army.

"Be careful, Ma Chao may be reckless, but Han Sui is known as the Nine Songs of the Yellow River, so it's hard to say that he won't set up an ambush on the other side of the Wei River."

"And what worries me is that it's easy to cross the river, but extremely difficult to get a foothold on the other side of the river."

"How to resist the invasion of the Xiliang army?"

Cao Cao rubbed his brows with a headache, but everyone was helpless, even Cheng Yu had a bitter face, thinking bitterly.

Only Su Chen has bright eyes and a smile on his face. .

Chapter 211

Everyone was thinking hard and getting nothing, Cao Ren turned around and saw the smile on Su Chen's face, and was a little stunned.

He couldn't help his heart skip a beat.

That's right, every time Su Jijiu showed such an expression, it was all in his heart.

So, he hurriedly took a half step forward, looked at Su Chen and asked: "Why is Su Jijiu laughing? But what good strategy came up."

Hearing Cao Ren's words, the rest of the people also turned their heads to look at Su Chen.

Cao Cao grabbed Su Chen's arm even more excitedly: "What is the strategy of the counselor, tell me quickly."

In such a predicament, he was helpless.

However, the Western Liang army is so brave, if there is no response, this battle will be defeated.

"Prime Minister, just before Zhongde said, if you want to stop the Xiliang iron cavalry, the best way is to set up a camp and set up a horse-repelling formation, but this Weishui coast is mostly yellow sand, so I am afraid it is not very stable. Time is in a hurry, and it is difficult to create too many horse-rejection formations in a short period of time.”

Su Chen smiled and said.

"That's right, this is exactly what caused my headache. Since the military advisor suggested it, there must be a solution, right?" Cao Cao nodded, then looked at Su Chen in surprise and asked.

"Yeah." Su Chen chuckled, came to the river, and found a weak spot in the ice layer, "Zhongkang, go get a water basin, and then draw a pan of water from the river."

"promise."

Xu Chu bowed his hands and withdrew.

Now in Xu Chu's heart, Cao Cao ranks first, and Su Chen can rank second.

If it was someone else's order, he would have to think about it for a while, and then ask Cao Cao's meaning, but it was totally unnecessary for Su Chen.

Soon, Xu Chu took the wooden basin, cut a hole on the ice with the big knife in his hand, and took a basin of water out.

"Su sacrifice wine, for you."

Taking the wooden basin in Xu Chu's hand, Su Chen glanced at Cao Cao, "Prime Minister, please be careful."

Saying that, he directly sprinkled the water in the wooden basin on the weeds beside him.

But within a short time, the water condensed into ice.

Seeing this scene, Cao Cao realized it instantly, and immediately patted Su Chen on the shoulder excitedly, and said with a big laugh, "Haha, the strategist's plan is very good, if you follow this method, you can build a city before dawn. "

Cheng Yu also nodded with a smile, and then looked at Su Chen beside him with admiration.

He couldn't help but be unconvinced. With Su Chen's ingenuity, he couldn't catch up even if he beat the horse.

Although he was one lap older than Su Chen, no matter where he was, he was a teacher, so Cheng Yu respected Su Chen more and more.

Even Cao Ren and other generals responded.

"Master Jijiu, are you planning to build an ice city?"

Su Chen nodded: "Yes, after the army has crossed the river, immediately ask all the soldiers and soldiers to take out all the buckets and water tanks and go to the river to fetch water."

"After a few hours, let the soldiers pour water while building the wall."

"I watch the sky at night. When the wind blows tonight, the ice will freeze. This is the best time."

"When the sky is up, we can build an ice city overnight."

Hearing Su Chen's words, everyone was overjoyed, and Cao Ren laughed even more: "Sir Jijiu's plan, once it is completed, the Xiliang cavalry will lose their power greatly, and when the time comes to deal with the Xiliang soldiers, Much easier."

"God helps the Prime Minister." Cheng Yu also said happily.

"No!"

Cao Cao shook his head firmly. When Cheng Yu looked at him suspiciously, Cao Cao said with a smile, "It's God-sent for me."

Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Yes, Su Jijiu's talent is indeed a gift from God."

Su Chen waved his hand and quickly humbled himself.

Cao Cao shook his head, then looked at the generals:

"Have you all heard it? Hurry up and assemble the army. Before midnight tonight, be sure to let the whole army cross the Wei River, and build an ice city for me while the night is dark."

"No!" The morale of the generals was high, and they immediately commanded the army to cross the river.

Cao's army of more than [-] troops crossed the river. Although they had carefully concealed their whereabouts, the scouts of the Xiliang army were not blind, and they were noticed by the Xiliang army not long after they passed the news back.

Ma Chao's camp was only more than [-] miles away from the Wei River, and it was only half a column of incense. The scouts drove back and rushed towards Ma Chao's tent.

At this time, Ma Chao was discussing matters with Han Sui in the account.

"Uncle, since we have already won Tongguan, why don't we take advantage of the victory to cross the river and attack Luoyang?" Ma Chao looked at Han Sui with a puzzled look, "Once Luoyang falls into our hands, our army will have a place to live. The land, forage, and baggage are guaranteed."

"At that time, drive straight in, kill Xuchang, save your father first, and then kill Cao Cao, wouldn't it be fun?"

"Meng Qi, you are still too impulsive." Han Sui glanced at Ma Chao, stroked his beard and smiled, "Then Cao Cao has already led his troops to Luoyang City. After our army attacked Tongguan, we are still tired. If you go across the river, it is easy for Cao Cao to take care of you."

"If you want me to see, uncle, you are too condescending to Cao Cao." Ma Chao was a little disdainful, and said with a sneer, "I have led the army all the way, from Sanguan to Chang'an, and then to Tongguan, whoever is fighting, there are few The enemy of Yihe, Cao's army is too weak."

"With the iron cavalry under my command, it only takes a few back and forth to kill Cao Jun to the point of throwing away his armor and armor, so what are you afraid of him doing!"

After listening to Ma Chao, Han Sui couldn't help shaking his head.

"Cao Cao has fought in the South and the North for many years, and his subordinates are like clouds of fierce generals and rain of advisers. He came from Xuchang, and he naturally carries the elite of the headquarters. How can Cao soldiers in Tongguan be able to compare?"

Han Sui said, then came over and patted Ma Chao on the shoulder, "Be careful in everything, so as not to fall into Cao Cao's tricks."

"Understood." Although Ma Chao was still disdainful in his heart, Han Sui was his uncle and the commander-in-chief of the Xiliang Army, so he could not go against Han Sui's wishes.

"By the way, Meng Qi, can you find out how many troops Cao Cao brought here?" Han Sui asked.

"It is currently unknown. Our scouts cannot cross the river, but we can only find out after Cao Jun leads the troops to cross the river." Ma Chao shook his head.

"Well, when our army takes Tongguan, Cao Cao must not be able to sit still. I expect Cao Cao to cross the river in a few days."

Han Sui said with a ruthless look in his eyes, "It's just that Cao Cao wants to cross the river, and it's not that easy. I have scouts all over the Weihe River. As long as Cao Cao makes a move, we will be able to detect it immediately."

"It's still uncle who thought it through." Ma Chao had to accept that, Han Sui was indeed much better than him in this strategy.

"Report!"

As soon as Ma Chao's words fell, a scout ran in and cupped his hands and said: "General, Major General, Cao Jun is crossing the river. When I came back, most of the troops and horses had already crossed the Wei River, and now they are carrying wood from the boat to prepare Set up camp."

Hearing this, Han Sui frowned and immediately looked at Ma Chao and said, "Meng Qi, Cao's army must not be allowed to set up camp. Once they have a foothold, it will be difficult for our army to break through them in a short time."

"If it is delayed for a while, it will be difficult for our army to supply food and grass. At that time, we can only retreat without fighting, so we must seize every opportunity to attack Cao's army."

Ma Chao nodded: "What my uncle said is that while their foothold is still unsteady, I will immediately lead the troops to attack them overnight."

"'Okay, Mengqi, hurry up, I'll swept the formation for you at the rear." Han Sui said.

"Ah."

Ma Chao didn't hesitate, turned around and walked out of the tent, and came outside: "Someone, go and inform Pang De, and quickly lead the troops to meet me."

Order issued.

In the Xiliang military camp, a whistling sound was heard, and the whistling sound quickly spread throughout the entire military camp.

Countless Xiliang soldiers came out of their tents and assembled to stand by.

And Ma Chao also turned over his own horse, held a tiger-headed Zhanjin spear, and rushed to the assembly place.

When Ma Chao arrived, Pang De also arrived almost at the same time, and he immediately cupped his hands and shouted, "Major General."

"Ling Ming is here, hurry up, order your soldiers and horses, and follow me to kill Cao Ying."

Ma Chao gave an order and rushed out on the horse.

Pound did not dare to neglect, and immediately led the troops and horses to follow.

In the Xiliang army, there are a total of [-] troops, including [-] cavalry and [-] infantry. Of course, after removing the baggage soldiers who transported food and grass, there are still [-] soldiers who can fight.

And Ma Chao's night attack this time, he took all the [-] cavalry with him.

Attacking the battalion, the key is to be fast, accurate and ruthless, and cavalry is best for short-distance attack. He is confident that under the [-] Xiliang iron cavalry, even if the number of Cao's army is twice his number, he can still win!

Eighty thousand iron cavalry was dispatched, and the sound of the horse's hooves hitting the ground was like an earthquake, and it was rumbling.

The distance of more than [-] miles is only half the time for the incense stick.

However, Ma Chao was not in a hurry to attack, but spread out the cavalry along the flat ground beside the Wei River to form a long charging line, and then rushed towards Cao Ying shouting.

Cavalry, the most important thing is speed.

Therefore, the speed of Ma Chao's horse riding on the way has almost reached its peak, and it flashed by like a gust of wind.

The [-] cavalry galloped wildly, and the momentum alone was enough to make people terrified.

The sound of the iron hoof shaking quickly alerted Cao Cao and the others.

"Quick, follow me to the city wall first." Cao Cao ordered immediately.

Everyone immediately got up and walked towards the city wall that was just cast.

It is said to be a city wall, but it is actually a thick wall temporarily condensed with ice water, the purpose is just to prevent the Xiliang cavalry from charging.

As long as the cavalry cannot run, the lethality will be greatly reduced.

As for the rest of the city, Cao Cao did not build it for the time being according to Su Chen's wishes. Anyway, as long as there was this wall, the Xiliang cavalry would not be able to charge.

Of course, the Xiliang cavalry can also detour to both sides, but the two sides are also full of wood that Cao Cao originally planned to use to build the city, as well as some iron pots and barrels taken from the baggage camp, all broken. It was thrown on the ground and temporarily used as a protective wall. Although it was not as practical as an ice wall, it was still enough to prevent the cavalry from charging.

Only in this way can we guard against the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in the shortest possible time. .
