The Pension Plan Expands from the Three Kingdoms to the Heavens

Chapter 192 Leling Battle!

Whether it is cold weapon warfare or the era of hot weapons during World War II, control of geographical location on the battlefield is very important to every army!

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wotu and Yingjiang fought a fierce battle on the Bangbang Peninsula. Both sides often had to spend a lot of resources and lives to compete for a small piece of high ground!The advantage is gained by fighting for it from hill to hill!
In Dahan, due to the lack of investigative ability, it is even more so for geographical advantage. When Zhang Song gave Liu Bei the map of Xichuan when he welcomed Liu Bei to enter Shu, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei would not let Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei say that they had obtained most of Xichuan. !
Gongsun Lu looked at the stronghold in front of him and nodded secretly. It was in line with the surrounding military strongholds on both wings, and they were connected to each other!We are each other’s horns!
This time the army set up a total of three strongholds in Zhongshan. In addition to the current main stronghold on Gongsun Road, there was a military stronghold on the left and right. Zhao Yun was responsible for guarding the one on the left. That stronghold was closest to the plain and very close to the plain. Suitable for cavalry to exert strength.

So he taught most of the cavalry to Zhao Yun. As for the stronghold on the right, it was even more dangerous. Gongsun Lu planned to teach Zhang Liao to guard it with 2 horses. The three strongholds were distributed in a finished shape!
Starting from the main village on Gongsun Road, the two are at the angles of each other. They are built along the hilly terrain of Zhongshan!

It's like three huge gates firmly stuck on the official road leading to Zhongshan!
At the same time, on the Bohai side, Zhuge Liang and others had arrived in Nanpi. Taishi Ci, as the head coach of this defense, directly summoned Ling Cao!
And establish a defense line along the coastline from the Bohai Sea to Qingzhou, as well as Dingguo County and Leling on the Bohai Sea!
Love, bah, is war like a tornado!
The defense on Gongsun Road has just been organized, and enough food, grass and ordnance have been arranged behind Zhongshan!

Yuan Shao's two armies all came to the city.

From the warship, you can see the shadowy Yuan Jun camp forty miles outside Leling City from a distance!Looking at the size of the military camp, it is estimated to be no less than [-]!

Ling Cao immediately expressed his hope to arrange for the navy to block the incoming army crossing the Yellow River from Qingzhou!

After receiving the news from Ling Cao, Taishi Ci, Lu Su, and Zhuge Liang discussed it and felt that it was not the time for the navy to be mobilized!
Their idea was to close the door and lead the large forces of Yuan Tan and Wen Chou into the Bohai Sea, and then use the navy to seal the entrance of the Yellow River, blocking Wen Chou's army's retreat to Qingzhou and taking the opportunity to cut off the food route for the large army!
Eat all or most of the 15 troops from Qingzhou!
Then take advantage of this great victory to attack Qingzhou's homeland!
In addition to this basic strategy, Zhuge Liang also has another idea!

"Kong Ming, you said you were going to Qingzhou?!"

When Taishi Ci and Lu Su heard that Zhuge Liang wanted to go to Qingzhou, they looked at him with extremely surprised expressions on their faces!
Zhuge Liang's young and handsome face showed no hesitation!
"Yes, Qingzhou has been run by the Yuan family for nearly ten years, and its foundation is extremely strong!

We may be able to design a plan to defeat the invading Qingzhou army, but if we want to step into Qingzhou, I'm afraid it won't be that easy if the army doesn't pay a sufficient price! "

Lu Su and Tai Shici looked at each other, "So you want to plot against Qingzhou?"

"To be precise, they are plotting against the Qingzhou family!

At this stage, it is not in their interests for our army to enter Qingzhou!
As long as these Qingzhou aristocratic families are still there, Yuan Shao's control over Qingzhou will not be weakened in a short time!
So I want to borrow the authority of Fengyu School to enter Qingzhou first, trying to weaken the power of the Qingzhou family, and create conditions for my army to enter Qingzhou after the war! "

Lu Su thought to himself, indeed!

Youzhou and Qingzhou are different!
Youzhou is close to the border. The power of the aristocratic families here is not particularly prosperous, and they have the same interests as Gongsun Lu in dealing with the Hu people. Therefore, when Gongsun Lu came to take control of Youzhou, although he did not get much help, he also did not receive much help when he arrived. What an obstacle!
Therefore, it was relatively easy for Gongsun Lu to establish a foothold in Youzhou!
The situation in Qingzhou is different. Qingzhou was originally a prosperous place with many aristocratic families. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Qingzhou ended, Yuan Shao used the power of many Qingzhou aristocratic families in order to better control Qingzhou and restore its prosperity. Give the Qingzhou family a lot of privileges!
So based on the current situation in Qingzhou, the power of the local aristocratic families is not inferior to that of the Jizhou aristocratic families!
Moreover, they have a very close relationship with Yuan Benchu. Each household not only has a huge amount of resources in its hands, but also has a large number of young people, who can form a reinforcement army to help Wen Chou at any time!
With their help, even if he has a navy that can block the sea lanes and the Yellow River, he may not be able to completely block the supply route of Wen Chou's army. Therefore, Zhuge Liang is planning to go to Qingzhou first, and first play a trick to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron, divide and weaken Qingzhou's power!

First clear the obstacles for the army!

Taishi Ci and Lu Su were immediately in a dilemma. None of their close ministers knew about Gongsun Lu's trust and expectations for Zhuge Liang. Now Zhuge Liang actually said that he wanted to go to Qingzhou alone to take risks, which had to make the two of them hesitate!

Taishi Ci stood on the city wall of Leling and watched Zhuge Liang's back walking further and further away, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart!

Yes, in the end he agreed to Zhuge Liang's request. He still trusted Zhuge Liang's ability, not to mention the help from Fengyu School. Taishi Ci secretly estimated that there wouldn't be too much danger if nothing could be done.At least it should be possible to let Zhuge Liang escape!

Three days later, Qingzhou's army first arrived in Leling. Wen Chou did not come to persuade him to surrender like Yan Liang did at Jinshanguan, but directly launched an attack on Leling City, which was already armed to the teeth!

The offensive was very fierce. Different from Yan Liang's steady and steady fighting style, Wen Chou's fighting style was more ruthless. Under the leadership of such a general, the Qingzhou army began a very brutal siege!
Fortunately, Leling's soldiers and horses were not new soldiers. Under the leadership of Taishi Cishen, they drove the enemy troops off the city wall again and again!

But Wen Chou, who was attacking the city below, did not hesitate to inflict damage and strength on the soldiers, urging the troops to attack again and again, not only not allowing his army to cultivate, but also squeezing the energy of the defender on the city wall!

Taishi Ci swung his spear again and lifted a ladder down. The casualties of the defenders in the past few days were still quite heavy!

He, the general, is still a little irritable!

However, Tai Shici, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, remained calm and ignored Wen Chou's repeated invitations to fight and stayed at Leling.

Fortunately, a month ago, the army moved all the people in the city to the rear!
Otherwise, with such a high frequency of attacks, the people will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

If Yan Liang is a ferocious and violent Xiong Yi, this Wen Chou with some barbarian blood is a strong and cold leopard, cold-blooded, fierce, and a perfect hunter!
He is completely unlike the "one man's brave man" mentioned in the history books!

But it’s normal to think about it. How could Wen Chou be called the Four Pillars of Hebei just because of his bravery?
And it's normal, history is written by the winners, as long as you win, you will naturally be better, and your enemies will fail even more!

Facing the opponent's compact offensive, Lu Su also wore armor and inspired his sword to slash Yuan Jun who climbed onto the city wall!
The originally honest expression on his face has also become murderous and ferocious!

With the efforts of the civil and military duo who personally went to fight, another attack commanded by Wen Chou was repulsed!

Tian Feng, who was at the bottom of the city, squinted his old eyes and looked at the city wall, walked slowly to Wen Chou, and spoke slowly to Wen Chou, who was about to direct the next wave of attacks.

"General Wen, I think our army's offensive has reached its limit. If we continue to fight, the casualties of our soldiers will probably increase a lot!"

Wen Chou's eyes flashed, but in the end he agreed with Tian Feng's opinion!
"Ming Jin withdraws troops!"

Lu Su looked at the Yuan army retreating in an orderly manner under Wen Chou's command from the city wall!
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this Wen Chou is even better at fighting than Yan Liang before!

After this battle, Lu Su counted the casualties of soldiers on both sides. The defenders of Leling City lost about 2000 men and horses, while Yuan Jun's casualties were about 3000. This number seems to be his own, but don't forget Taishi Ci Fang relies on the city to defend it!

Generally speaking, in ancient siege battles, if the city wall was not breached, the damage ratio would be one to two!
From this point of view, the casualties on our side are more serious!
