When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 598 Yang Wengzi is also like Wu Anjun!
The border between Qin and Wei, in the camp of the Qin army
"General, let's attack the city. Taoren City only has 3,000 soldiers and horses. Seeing my 4,000 Qin troops, they don't dare to leave the city to fight. The Wei generals guarding the city must be incompetent. I promise to capture Taoren City within three days!"

"General, the same is true for Qicheng."

"General..."

Yang Wengzi, who was sitting in the commander's position, looked at the art of war in his hands with a calm expression, and took a sip of the tea on the handsome desk, standing still.

"Before the transport camp comes, no one will be allowed to attack the city privately. You can go back to the camp."

"But...but General..."

Seeing the struggling and frowning faces of the people who came to ask for a fight, Yang Wengzi put down the teacup in his hand and glanced at these people, with an intimidating pressure in his eyes.

"Anyone who dares to speak of war again before the heavy supply camp arrives will be killed!"

Seeing that Yang Wengzi had said this, the generals, no matter how unwilling they were, had no choice but to return to their respective camps. However, when they left the camp, they still couldn't help but complain a few times, but they couldn't help it. Unwilling to obey and disobey Yang Wengzi's military orders.

The first rule of the Qin army's military law is to obey orders. Even if you win the battle if you disobey the general's orders, you can only offset part of the guilt with merit.

Moreover, Yang Wengzi is also one of the representatives of the Qingzhuang sect. As the son of Yang Duanhe, Zhang Ji's former subordinate, he is also the only disciple of Wang Yan. To treat such a person in both positive and negative ways is like eating arsenic for an old man.

After everyone left, Yang Xiong, who had been standing behind Yang Wengzi, kicked over a table and looked angrily at the departing figures of the generals: "Uncle, these people are not convinced by you. I say they should be taken out and let them have a taste of the military staff."

Yang Wengzi waved his hand calmly: "My record is indeed not as good as Wang Ben's. In addition, they are not allowed to attack the city. Naturally, these people who are eager to fight will be dissatisfied."

"It doesn't matter. We'll see if we can do it. As long as it doesn't undermine my strategy, let them curse me. A few curse words won't lose any weight."

Yang Xiong couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Yang Wengzi still looked as usual.

The general Wang Ben led his light cavalry to raid Pingqiu City and entrusted the remaining 40,000 troops to Yang Wengzi's hands. But besides him, how many people knew that the specific plan of this strategy was personally formulated by Yang Wengzi?

Yang Wengzi was not a mediocre general. He had the military inheritance of the Huayin Yang family and the teachings of his father Yang Duanhe, who was also a famous general. Yang Duanhe's military level was no worse than that of Meng Tian and other leaders of his generation, but he lacked some aggressive means.

This was made up for by Wang Ye.

Yang Wengzi, who had personally witnessed Wang Yan's annihilation of 100,000 Zhao troops under Hu Zhe's command with his own eyes, was now considered to have left the army. All he lacked was experience in actual combat. After Wang Ben proposed the idea of ​​​​inserting lightly and simply behind enemy lines, Yang Wengzi A specific plan was made.

First, they sent people to secretly explore the terrain, and then searched for similar terrain to simulate and practice, and calculated the time it would take for 10,000 light cavalry to be broken into pieces and then marched to the foot of Pingqiu City.

Two days is the most suitable time determined by Yang Wengzi, but it is not the fastest speed for these ten thousand Qingqi.

The speed of these 10,000 light cavalry can be increased to another level, such as galloping three hundred miles a day, but there is absolutely no need.

Traveling three hundred miles a day, this is no longer a rush march, but a forced march.

If the Qin army arrived at Pingqiu City on a forced march, not to mention the situation of falling behind, even if no one fell behind, the cavalry and horses would not have much physical strength left. It won't be a matter of a day or two. (Cao Cao led the tiger and leopard cavalry to chase Liu Bei at a gallop of 300 miles one day and one night, and it was still in Jingzhou. There were many plains but also many hills, and there were dense water networks. It was not that convenient for the cavalry to move forward, but still It has achieved the ultimate speed of traveling three hundred miles a day, not to mention the eastern border of Wei State, which is all plains and there are no large rivers in this section)

Therefore, in view of the problems of physical strength and arrival time, Yang Wengzi made a two-day marching time plan for Wang Ben after personal practice.

In the strategic plan formulated by Yang Wengzi, the 40,000 Qin army soldiers were to set off at the same time as Wang Ben's 10,000 light cavalry. However, the targets of these 40,000 Qin army infantry were Taoren City, Guiling, and Shou on the eastern border of Wei State. The eight cities of Yuan, Qicheng, Pucheng, Xiangqiu, Yancheng, and Xucheng were only a little over a hundred miles away from the Qin and Wei borders. Almost at the same time as Wang Ben, 40,000 Qin troops The infantry also surrounded the eight cities on the eastern border of Wei by penetrating behind enemy lines.

But then Yang Wengzi sat in the Chinese army's tent and stood still, watching the art of war and drinking tea, as if he were on an outing in the east of Wei. This made all the generals who were eager to fight anxious.

All of this was naturally part of the strategic plan that Yang Wengzi had formulated in advance.

Although Yang Wengzi studied under Wang Yan and learned Wang Yan's tactics of using troops quickly and encircling him, his nature was still to seek stability.

Dare to formulate such a risky strategy, but also seek stability. These seem to be two contradictory ideas, but they are not in conflict.

Yang Wengzi dared to take risks, but he made a detailed strategic plan, taking into account various situations such as Wang Bi arriving early, being delayed, and being late, and prepared a way to deal with each situation. That is often said to plan and then act.

The reason why Yang Wengzi's 40,000 troops besieged these eight cities instead of attacking them was because they wanted stability.

In fact, these eight cities are important towns in the east of Wei. The minimum number of defenders is no less than 3,000, and the maximum number is 6,000. The total strength of the Qin army is only 40,000. If you include the young and strong, , the Qin army's number of troops and horses was at a disadvantage, especially when the Qin army chose to travel lightly and abandoned their baggage, it was too difficult to attack the city.

The infantry are not cavalry and cannot learn Wang Ben's tactics of using light cavalry to seize the city gate. No matter how stupid the defender is, he can close the city gate in time to prevent the Qin army's infantry from controlling the city gate.

Even the Qin army can now surround a large number of people with a small number, because the Qin army is now so famous that no one dares to underestimate it. Secondly, the movement of Wang Ben's ten thousand light cavalry shocked the defenders of the eight cities. Who knows whether those ten thousand light cavalry were waiting for them to leave the city to fight the Qin army surrounding the city?
In other words, the Qin army was able to surround a large number of people with a small number, all by bluffing people.

Once the city is attacked, everything is revealed.

But if the Qin army wants to attack the city, it is not impossible. This is why Yang Wengzi waited for the transport camp.

Waiting for the heavy supply battalion to transport the armor and siege equipment, the Qin army can rely on the siege mechanism beast developed by Gongshu to break the city.

Of course, there is another most important reason, which is that Yang Wengzi is waiting for news from Wang Ben.

If Wang Ben successfully captures Pingqiu City, then he can attack the city with peace of mind. If he fails, then he must be prepared to meet Wang Ben and ensure his retreat.

If Wang Ye were present and saw Yang Wengzi's military strategy, he might burst into tears.

After the war, Wang Ye was deeply moved after reading the military newspaper.

"Make decisions before taking action, be stable but seek danger, this is what Mr. Wu'an is like!"
