The muddy ground makes the Jingzhou Army soldiers take action, especially wearing heavy armor and spearmen. They have to take a lot of mud to the cavalry, except for a few lightly armored scouts, and it is difficult for archers to play their due attack in such a rainy night. All ministries have sent crossbowmen and the proportion is not very large.
The storm on the camp can also be a pawn.
The camps outside Cao Jun’s city are staggered with each other. If you attack from one direction alone, you are bound to be hit by Cao Jun in many ways. However, even if you attack Zhou Yu in multiple ways, you will not attack at the same time.
Although the simultaneous attack on Cao Jun’s battalions from different directions and routes can make Cao Jun unable to support each other to some extent, it is also very difficult for the attackers to do this.
When Cao Ren set up a camp outside Huaiyin, he fully considered various factors, which made it difficult for the attacker to attack the camp next to Cao Jun at the same time. In addition, Zhou Yu also wanted to disrupt the layout of the defenders in Cao Jun’s camp by constantly changing the attack rhythm. Only in this way can the casualties be minimized and the results be maximized.
To achieve this expected effect is not only a high challenge for Zhou Yu, the commanding army, but also a test of the commanding ability and the ability to adapt to circumstances, even at the forefront of various ministries.
It’s fun to rush into a hubbub, but that tactic is a war of attrition, and it’s very difficult for most generals in this era to control the rhythm of the battlefield. On the one hand, it’s subject to the command method, on the other hand, the quality of the soldiers is also a very key factor. It’s hard to imagine that the ever-changing battlefield can achieve exquisite command only by simple drums and ringing gold, and that method of sending scouts to order is often lost due to various accidents
Similarly, if the foot soldiers are lax in military discipline and lack of training, it is also the main reason why many insurgents can kill all sides, but in the later period, the more troops there are, the easier it is to lose.
After Zhou Yu became the commander-in-chief of the Third Battalion in Jiangdong, he consciously conducted coordinated attack drills by various ministries, otherwise he would not have carried out such bold tactics at this critical moment.
Although Zhou Yu is not a military commander and has never learned any moves and marksmanship, it seems to him that the two armies have the same effect when fighting with each other. For example, when attacking, you must not forget to defend and defend, and you must seize the opportunity to attack and punch your opponent. It is not necessary to knock down the opponent and expose the flaw before continuing to strike.
The same is true for soldiers. When attacking this camp, it will inevitably arouse the reaction of the enemy in another camp, and then make corresponding commands according to the response. This is the ability that a qualified general should have.
In the eyes of ordinary foot soldiers of Cao Jun, it is natural that Jingzhou troops swept in, and they couldn’t tell where it was a feint, where it was the real main attack and where it was a feint, so they stormed them. When Jingzhou troops approached the village wall, they first threw arrows at Jingzhou soldiers and then waited for the enemy to fight.
However, the command and defense of Yuanmen watchtower in Zhongjun camp is forbidden, but it shows that Jingzhou army is by no means such a simple attack. While mobilizing all battalions to deal with Jingzhou army attack, an interview chart finds out the clues of Zhou Yubing’s scheduling from the complicated and changeable situation
On the surface, it seems that all the troops of Jingzhou Army are fighting their own battles. However, Zhou Yu’s command sometimes gathers with each other to besiege a camp, and sometimes disperses to harass Cao Jun’s camp. If Cao Jun’s soldiers are a little slack in a camp, they will be stormed by Jingzhou Army. This kind of trial attack takes turns to change the breakthrough point tactics. Several camps in front of Cao Jun were once in a hurry.
One of the camps was discovered by Jingzhou Army, and immediately after that, it showed a storm and broke through the wall of the camp. Although the soldiers of Cao Jun in the camp fought to the death, it was difficult to fight against them. More and more Jingzhou Army was completely captured by Jingzhou Army before the reinforcements were sent to the camp. More than half of the soldiers of Cao Jun who were defending the camp were killed or injured, and some of them were taken prisoner with swords and spears.
Coss is far away from the camp outside the city, but he can see the bureau more clearly because of his high position. If he commands from him, his reaction will be slower. Coss generally commands the camp outside the city according to the battlefield situation, while the specific command depends on the ban.
The attack direction and route of Jingzhou army are unpredictable when it is tight, which makes the soldiers of Cao Jun who are forbidden and guarding the camp exhausted and worried. I don’t know when Jingzhou army will suddenly kill them.
Judging from the tragic degree of fighting between the two sides, it is much lower than when Chen Wu led his troops to attack Jun’s camp. However, this tactical effect is very good. Less than an hour after the attack, three camps of Jun were continuously breached. At this time, although it was still rainy, there was a glimmer of light in the eastern sky.
☆, Chapter one hundred Has decided to abandon Huaiyin.
There is a glimmer of light in the gray sky, but the rain still shows no signs of stopping. The two sides have fought hard for a long time and have no intention of stopping fighting. For Jingzhou Army, Cao Jun’s serial camps have been breached by their own, and more and more attack points are available, while Cao Jun has exposed more weaknesses, which almost makes it difficult to prevent them from being full of loopholes.
Yu Jin is also caught in a dilemma. Although Cao Jun’s camps can support each other, they often fall into a difficult situation. Jingzhou’s attack is too flexible. It seems to be a feint, but if you don’t prepare for the defense, it will immediately become a storm. How about supporting others?
He will send more than 3,000 elite troops as reinforcements. Whenever a camp is in danger, he will send a team of people to support or assist in defense or transfer the camp to a nearby camp. If it were not for the dispatch and command of the forbidden Chinese army, I am afraid that Cao Jun’s camp would have been completely breached by Jingzhou Army, but only a hundred elite troops will be left in the current camp.
Being attacked by Chen Wu’s troops has now become the tent of Jingzhou Army’s temporary Zhongjun camp. In the face of meteors, Zhou Yu’s scouts from various ministries still remained calm. He constantly made adjustments according to the progress and changes of the situation from listening to the reports of the scouts from various ministries. Of course, Zhou Yu did not have to intervene in every detail. He gave the schools a lot of freedom and sometimes had to cooperate with them in turn.
It is precisely because of this that the Jingzhou Army offensive is so flexible, but the soldiers of various ministries are not too tired because of the fierce fighting. As the more Cao Jun camps are attacked, their morale becomes higher and higher, which in turn makes the attack more fierce and fierce.
Another reason for Zhou Yu’s command is that many miscellaneous tasks are done by the staff officers of the General Staff Office, which makes him have to concentrate on directing battles, such as the transportation and resettlement of wounded soldiers, the number of people who will take care of the detention place where Cao Jun is captured, and the acquisition of grain and hay. The staff officers should be responsible for such things as ordnance preparation and transportation.
Although I didn’t sleep all night, Zhou Yu’s face didn’t show any tiredness and fatigue. She still looked radiant because the war was going well. She looked more and more interested from his hands before setting up a sand table, and the scouts came to report what they said, while the staff officers who simulated Cao Jun’s camp patrolling the sand table inserted flags representing various ministries in time.
Judging from the sand table, dozens of Cao Jun’s camps are arranged in a fan shape according to the core of Huaiyin City’s military camp. Although there are many channels in the camps, there are twists and turns and trenches separated, which are difficult for the attackers to overcome.
At present, Jingzhou army has attacked four enemy defense camps and made a gap in the periphery. However, it is more and more difficult to advance toward the middle.
"Does the viceroy temporarily stop to let the men take a break?" A staff officer lang saw some stalemate in the war and suggested to Zhou Yu
Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "The more this time, the more we should stick to the attack, otherwise our own side will be slack and the enemy will adjust its defense with a breather, making it more difficult for our army to attack."
It is also Zhou Yu’s intention to guide the situation according to the battlefield situation. Although Cao Jun was captured in these camps, the soldiers in the camp were not annihilated by Jingzhou Military Department and moved to other camps more or less. As a result, the troops in the remaining camps of Cao Jun made the soldiers who attacked Jingzhou feel a little difficult.
In addition, the rain affects the soldiers of Jingzhou army from day to night, and the fighting almost never stops. It is impossible to say that they are not tired, but the soldiers of Jingzhou army are not much better. Even though the soldiers of Cao army in several camps behind sometimes rest because of defense, the great psychological pressure is also quite tormenting.
However, although Zhou Yu’s adjustment slowed down the offensive rhythm, the local fighting became more and more fierce.
Just as Coss frowned and kept a close eye on the battlefield situation, a captain hurried to the tower and said to Coss, "General! The messenger sent by the master has arrived! "
Coss turned around and saw that there was a travel-stained messenger behind him, so he immediately called to the front to wait for a personal letter from Cao Cao sent by the messenger. Coss could not help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
In this letter, Cao Cao no longer emphasized defending Huaiyin and going out or retreating to Huaibei to stick to Pengcheng’s policy. Although he did not say exactly what contributed to this decision, Coss felt that Cao Cao must have sent troops, so he wanted to force the troops in Huainan and Jingzhou.
Now that Cao Cao has expressed his attitude, Coss immediately decided to give up Huaiyin and lead his troops back to the Huaihe River to stick to Pengcheng. Although this will make the strategic goal of Jingzhou Army come true, Xuzhou will inevitably be greatly threatened in the future, but for now, Jingzhou Army is likely to stop in Huainan.
After giving up Huaiyin, Cao Ren didn’t arrange to retreat. He knew that the current situation would turn into a big rout if he was not careful, and although he was prepared before, the most critical situation envisaged at that time was not suitable for the current situation
The enemy is still attacking the camp outside the city, even if we want to withdraw the soldiers and soldiers in the camp outside the city safely, we must be careful. Although it is impossible to hide Jingzhou Army from giving up Huaiyin and retreating to Pengcheng, it is always good to delay some time.
Coss looked at his own camp outside the city through the rain curtain without moving his face, but he thought about which troops should be mobilized into the city first, and which one should continue to stick to the camp, who can stay in the rear of the army and which troops must make sacrifices, and so on
Coss also considered that the current naval forces and ships could not guarantee their own safety, so Coss did not intend to cross Hebei directly, even though this route was the shortest, but Coss did not hesitate to reject the idea in view of the danger of withdrawing troops from the waterway.
When Coss determined the retreat route, he went to the tower and led dozens of guards to the Zhongjun camp outside the city. He had to personally sit in the town and direct the retreat, otherwise he would be taken advantage of by Jingzhou Army and lead to a big defeat.
I didn’t hide from forbidding Coss that Coss had decided to give up Huaiyin and retreat to Huaipu, and I felt a little relaxed in my heart. If I call the soldiers again, the casualties will get bigger and bigger.
However, Yu Jin and Coss are equally worried that it is indeed a very dangerous thing to retreat when the Jingzhou army attacks. After a day and a night, the soldiers on both sides are tired, and perhaps the Jingzhou army is already a spent force.
Coss took over the command of the camp outside the city, and then mobilized the troops to fight Jingzhou Army. The soldiers in each camp immediately withdrew from the city by natural method. The soldiers in several camps closest to the city wall were evacuated. However, Coss also mobilized more than 2,000 elite soldiers to stop Jingzhou Army from pursuing when Zhongjun Camp prepared for retreat.
After receiving the order to give up the camp and enter the city for a temporary rest, the jun soldiers in those camps soon realized that this achievement was ready to give up Huaiyin.
"This also can’t say for certain? Perhaps it was General Cao who insisted on the camp law outside the city and prepared to let us turn to the city and keep it by the city? " A name "low to led the troops a captain said
That a captain is Coss’ department to follow Coss for many years. At this time, after listening to Du Bo’s words, he sneered, "If General Cao still intends to defend Huaiyin, it won’t make me wait in the city. Is it better for you to defend in the city than to camp outside the city? Yesterday, you have seen the power of Jingzhou Army’s thundercar. Don’t say that even the camps and the city walls can’t resist the thundercar attack. "
"If we really give up Huaiyin, shall we cross Hebei directly?" Du Bo worried and continued to ask, although the news of the defeat and return of our own water army has not been confirmed, it has already become a hot topic, and many people are worried because of this, for fear that Jingzhou water army will seize Huaiyin City from the waterway and cut off its retreat.
A captain looked dignified and shook his head. "Are you afraid that we won’t wait for the water army? If it is Jingzhou water army opponent? I want to come to General Cao’s plan that he will never cross the river by boat, but what matters now is that if the Jingzhou army attacks the army and withdraws from Huaiyin, after leaving here, it will not be our worry to cross Hebei and return to Pipengcheng and other places. "
His words made Du Bo feel a little uneasy, but as he said, there is no hope for Jingzhou Army to slip away now, but I don’t know who will be left behind. It’s hard to return safely after a narrow escape, right?
Cao Jun’s mobilization was carried out in the front line because of the shelter of the camps, and most of them were carried out in the rear camps. The Jingzhou army distribution school was not aware of it, but Zhou Yu smelled an unusual meaning from the enemy’s resistance
"Coss, it seems, is going to abandon the city." Zhou Yu looked at Huaiyin City in the sand table and thought to himself whether to let the other side retreat or to chase and consume the other side’s troops.
If it was at the beginning of the war, Coss led his troops out of Huaiyin, and Zhou Yu would certainly not hesitate to send troops, but now after such a tragic killing, his own soldiers must have been exhausted. Although Zhou Yu eventually kept more than 2,000 steps to ride the elite as a campaign reserve, Coss would also have a new force. If he pursued it, it would be another bitter battle. It is very likely that it would be a continuous battle. It is hard to say now. Of course, the first thing to determine now is whether Coss really mobilized people outside the city to give up Huaiyin and just shrink their troops to stay in the city.
☆, Chapter one hundred and nine Offensive defense didn’t work.
Taishi Ci wiped his face, and the rain sent the scout to look at the Jun camp in front of him after he left, thinking that if he broke and disrupted the Jun deployment as soon as possible.
The various parts of Jingzhou Army attacked Cao Jun, and now Cao Ren has made it more difficult for Jingzhou Army to attack, in order to ensure the retreat.
One night’s autumn rain made the ground muddy, and the soldiers were working harder than usual, especially when they were walking with heavy feet.
However, if you want to disrupt the deployment of Jun, you must take the initiative in your hands. For Jingzhou Army, that is to attack and attack again!
In the face of wave after wave of offensive by Jingzhou Army, Coss felt that the defense line of the camp was crumbling, so it was forbidden to personally lead the elite to support everywhere, and finally the situation was stabilized slightly. Even so, it was still broken by Jingzhou Army. After breaking this camp, the camp on the leftmost side of Cao Jun became more isolated. Coss said that he quickly made the garrison abandon the camp and sent a team to prepare to meet.
The attack in this direction was that when Zhu Huan and his men saw that the defenders in the enemy camp wanted to give up the camp, they immediately stepped up their offensive. After receiving the military order to give up the camp, Cao Jun’s soldiers panicked and were suddenly attacked by Zhu Huan, and soon they were attacked by Jingzhou Army soldiers.
An axe-wielder of Jingzhou Army who climbed the walled village swung his sharp tomahawk like a whirlwind, and there were not many soldiers of Cao Jun who could hardly resist him. After he dispersed the nearby Cao Jun, more soldiers of Jingzhou Army rushed to the walled village from here, and soon formed several teams to sweep away at both ends separately. At this time, after the Cao Jun had fought, the camp gate rushed out of the camp.
Zhu Huan just led the troops to attack here at this time and immediately invaded, but Jun, a captain, saw Jingzhou army under siege and knew perfectly well that if we could not fight our way out, reinforcements would meet, fearing that all the soldiers in the camp would die here, so instead of retreating, we would head into Zhu Huan’s team.
Jun soldiers were eager to get out of trouble, but they hit Zhu Huan with a bad guard. The guards around Zhu Huan were desperate to protect Zhu Huan from falling into chaos. However, being rushed out by Jun, most of the troops only had more than 200 foot soldiers. Because they ran slowly, they were led by Zhu Huan to break through the camp. I hope these foot soldiers can drop their swords and guns.
The captain who was sent to meet the garrison troops in this camp led them directly back to Zhongjun camp after meeting his men. Although the captain was injured, he finally recovered a life.
Coss knew that Zhou Yu must have seen through his plan when he saw that the Jingzhou army’s offensive was getting more and more fierce, but he could grit his teeth and insist on making further plans until most of the defenders outside the city returned to the city.
"general! The enemy water army is besieging our water army outside the city. Our warships are powerless and suffer heavy losses! " A scout hurriedly ran to the camp and saw Coss, then hurriedly reported.
Coss asked the scout with a deep frown, "Did a captain Guo ever say how long he could hold on?"
The scouts hurriedly bowed their heads and said, "Guo, a captain, never said how long he could hold on. Let the villain tell the general that he will do his best only to die."
Coss listened without a long sigh and waved off the scout. He turned to the generals around him and said, "I’m afraid it’s difficult for our water army to support this retreat. We must speed up."
Although he didn’t say anything, everyone was white. If our own water army collapsed, Jingzhou water army would surely rush to the city from the water village. At that time, even if we left a group of people to defend, it would become a broken army, and it would also be a great threat for the army to give up Huaiyin and retreat elsewhere.
