Chapter 233 Tens of thousands of thieves cross the river
Two to three, in any battle, two to three plans must be prepared, and then two to three follow-up plans can be formulated based on the possible follow-up situations of the three sets of plans. This is the basics.
The strategy is actually very simple, it is nothing more than a competition of tactical strategies, such as playing chess.
The degree to which you can reach depends first on the degree of "knowledge", that is, information. The more you know, the more targeted it is, and you can even kill the enemy from the beginning. On the contrary, the less you know, the more you have to do it step by step to avoid falling into a trap.
Unfortunately, for a strategist like Xun Yu, these Yellow Turban thieves are not even considered an opponent.
"Although the enemy is stupid, it should be given certain attention before the war is over!" Wang Yong reminded that in fact, this sentence is just 'Disregard the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically'!
"Oh?" Xun Yu looked at Wang Yong with interest, "Wuyou understands it quite well? But don't worry, we have never, so the enemy is a group of mobs who are not worth worrying about, and will regard them as ants on the roadside."
Ants? This level is a bit miserable. Two hundred thousand ants can be killed in less than a few feet...
In the next few days, the wind was calm, and only the spies sent by Xiahou Dun's troops were constantly patrolling around to ensure the enemy's whereabouts. When needed, they would even guide the enemy in the direction they needed.
After all, many people subconsciously believe that the place where there are spies or spies is the main force of the enemy.
During this period, Wang Yong began to feel that the Yellow Turban Army that he was about to face might not be the most terrifying one. Instead, Xun Yu, who had been complaining about food issues to him in the army, was more difficult to serve.
No wonder Cao Cao would never bring Xun Yu with him when he went on a war...
"Lord, there are enemies thirty miles ahead, and my subordinates are trying to attract the other party!" It was about the twelfth day that Xiahou Dun came to Cao Cao.
"It was two days later than expected..." Cao Cao sighed. Is this here to attack? He was just here for an outing!
If she changed to a real opponent, she would probably find a way to shorten the ten days to eight days, at least nine days. The soldiers are very fast, and this is not a joke. After she received the news from Runan County, she immediately prepared.
"Let the soldiers prepare well and do some training today. The enemy will probably not be able to reach the riverside tomorrow!" Cao Cao looked at the sky. It was already afternoon, and the speed of the 200,000 troops was only marching. It would probably not be able to arrive until tomorrow.
"As for the order!" Xiahou Dun immediately took the order and went down to announce it.
When they heard that the enemy was about to arrive, the soldiers began to train in accordance with military orders, warm up, polish their weapons, and check the armor and helmets on their bodies. Any small move may affect whether they can come back from the battlefield alive.
"This shouldn't be considered a gun sharpening at the last minute, right?" Wang Yong joked with interest.
"It's okay? Is it very strange?" Xiahou Dun couldn't understand why Wang Yong said that. There was obviously no word or allusion in this era. "The day before he went out, he was sophisticated that it was common sense."
"Oh, what's the point?" Wang Yong suddenly became curious.
"For example, the spear should not be too dull, otherwise it will be very laborious to stab the enemy into the body and may even be blocked by the armor; but if it is sharpened too sharply, it will easily break. If it cannot be stabbed a few times, it will be determined by your curl or break." Xiahou Dun replied.
The ring-headed knife is almost the same. It is too dull and difficult to cut people, but too sharp and easy to roll and break. Therefore, the sharpening technique is something that any recruit or even general must master.
"I probably don't need to be sharpened, right?" Wang Yong raised the long knife in his hand.
"Not everyone can have such good weapons like you!" Xiahou Dun bit his lip. Is this guy purely showing off? She only has a spear of 100-steel-level steelmaking, and has prepared three spares. It's hard to find something like meteorite, and it's just that the price is not that cheap.
Cao Cao would pay for Wang Yong to order a handful, probably because he could catch Lu Bu's Fangtian Painting Ji with one hand. With this force and good weapon, he might not be able to beat Lu Bu. A peerless general, even if he is just a part-time job, is of great value to Cao Cao.
The key is that the value Wang Yong showed is not only in cooking and martial arts, but also in occasional suggestions, as well as the contributions he made during this period, which are worthy of her attention and cultivation. Giving these things is just a means to win people's hearts.
The next morning, a trace of an army appeared on the horizon. Then... Cao Cao took out his telescope, which was the type of monocular, similar to the one invented in the 17th century.
Well, the glasses are all out, and the glasses are also out. Are monoculars and other things still far away? Suddenly I feel that the world is full of malice. I am a time traveler, but I cannot make a fortune by relying on the only science and technology?!
"I was ragged and had a dispersed formation. I was just a group of bandits. It was just an army, but I was simply a polite person." Cao Cao put down his telescope and directly commented on the army opposite.
No, no, it is better to say that it is a group of refugees holding weapons than a group of refugees. More than 200,000 people obviously lack food, so they had to gather together to keep warm and then get food through robbery.
It’s not surprising. It’s mid-April now, and it’s almost time to stop them. It’s not difficult to guess the reason!
At the same time, in the Yellow Turban Army, it was obvious that someone noticed Cao's army on the other side of the river and immediately informed their king: "Dear kings, the enemy army was found on the other side of the river!"
"How many people?" Huang Shao and others, who were in the central army, could not see the enemy's situation, so they asked.
"I'm not sure, but judging from the camp situation, it should be about 20,000 people." The subordinate replied quickly.
"Twenty thousand people, only four or five thousand soldiers..." The four generals began to weigh whether to fight this battle.
"Beat his thief!" He Man, known as the "Zhetian Yasha" and the only female general, directly expressed his opinion, "There are only tens of thousands of people, I'm afraid of asking for it! We have defeated several armies in Runan all the way, and how much armies have we robbed? If we eat this one, we will not be much different from those so-called regular troops. At that time, the world will be great, and we will not be able to go there?"
"Okay, call me!" Huang Shao agreed immediately as if he was pleased, and then looked at He Yi and Liu Pi.
"We agree!" The two of them thought about it and nodded one after another.
"Cross the river!" The central army sent military orders, and the soldiers cut wood and built rafts to cross the river. They also knew very well that the water didn't seem deep, and the mud below was not shallow, so no one would be so stupid as to hike across the river.
"What a group of stupid guys!" Cao Cao looked at the other party, crossing the Yingshui River like dumplings, and gestured behind him. Then a soldier shot an arrow into the sky, and the sound was transmitted far, far away.
"Breaking the dike!" Cao Ren had already sent people to find out, got the signal, and immediately issued an order.
