Volume 3: Autumn Soldiers on the Battlefield Chapter 083: Water Attack Strategy

After Wen Zijun's Lingnan Army and Changsun Shouji's northern garrison merged, they were collectively called the Dingbei Army. (It only takes a genius 3 seconds to remember)

Naturally, Dingbei Hou Changsun Shouji is the leader of this team, and Wen Zijun is his deputy. Therefore, the recent sieges were all planned by Changsun Shouji. It is not that Changsun Shouji's siege methods are bad, on the contrary.

, he has extremely rich experience in siege. When Wen Zijun saw it, he felt that he was so incompetent and felt that he had a lot to learn from.

In fact, Changsun Shouji was a little depressed this time when he attacked the city. In the past, when he attacked the city occupied by the Huns, it could be said that it was easy to succeed. However, when he attacked Qinglong City, he encountered unprecedented resistance.

For a long time, when the Xiongnu went south to fight for cities and plunder villages, they would burn, kill, and plunder a city thoroughly. It was really difficult for them to govern a city. In fact, their city defense skills were only so-so.

What the Han army was least afraid of was attacking the city guarded by the Xiongnu.

It's just that this time when the Huns went south, they were not all pure Huns like before. There were already Han people participating in their combat headquarters. Li Xin in the Tianlang Army in Qinglong City was one of the Han people. With the Han people

With the emergence of Xiongnu, the single tactics of the Xiongnu began to become more diverse. After all, the so-called use doctrine is not unreasonable.

Returning to the military tent, Wen Zijun said to his eldest grandson Shouji: "Master Hou, Qinglong City cannot be captured for a long time. Once the Sirius Army and the follow-up troops of the Xiongnu arrive, the whole situation will be reversed. At that time, the offensive and defensive switches will be

It’s not that we attack and the Huns defend, it’s that we defend and the Huns attack.”

After hearing this, the eldest grandson Shouji sighed: "I have also thought about this problem. I wonder what Zijun thinks?" He was testing Wen Zijun.

Wen Zijun responded: "Zijun believes that the Xiongnu's follow-up troops cannot be allowed to join the Xiongnu in Qinglong City. Therefore, we find a way to eliminate the Xiongnu's follow-up troops."

Changsun Shouji clapped his hands, and then said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Zijun's idea is the same as what I thought. It's just, how do we intercept the Xiongnu's follow-up troops?" It's not that Changsun Shouji is being hypocritical, as Dingbei

Hou has fought countless battles, but these strategic aspects can still be seen.

Wen Zijun took his eldest grandson Shouji to the map, pointed to a place and said: "Master Hou, look, there is an important town called Tianzhen to the west from Qinglong City. It is one hundred and eighty miles north of the national border.

The city wall. And here outside the city wall, there is a valley called Zangyue, which is the only way for the Huns' follow-up troops to pass. We can stop them here."

After hearing this, Zhangsun Shouji kept stroking his beard, nodded slightly, and said: "The deep forest and dense trees in Zangyue Valley are indeed a good place for interception. (Win Q coins,) However, it is said that the Xiongnu's follow-up

There are nearly 400,000 troops. Where can we get so many people? Unless all the troops here are transferred here. However, once this place is empty, it may be attacked by the Sirius Army."

Wen Zijun smiled and replied: "If you can't defeat them with strength, you can only defeat them wisely. We can attack with water."

"Water attack?" Changsun Shouji listened and looked at the map in silence. After a while, he said: "Yes, there is indeed a big black river to the west of Zangyue Valley. But the water flow of this river is not large.

, how can we deal with the Huns’ 400,000-strong army?”

Wen Zijun laughed again. He pointed to a place in the northwest of Dahei River and said: "Look, Lord Marquis, there is a lake called Daihai here. We only need to divert the water from Daihai Lake to Dahei River. Then, Dahei River will

The current of the Heihe River is like the surging Yellow River. Are you still worried that it cannot level the Zangyue Valley?"

After hearing what Wen Zijun said, Changsun Shouji's eyes lit up and he was very happy and said happily: "Zijun's vision is indeed broader than that of me. It seems that I am indeed an old man. However, this matter is not trivial. Zijun thinks

Who is the most appropriate person to send?"

Wen Zijun smiled lightly, pointed at the bridge of his nose, and said nothing.

Changsun Shouji saw it and said understandingly: "Zijun, are you saying that you will lead the troops yourself?"

Wen Zijun nodded and said: "Exactly. There is no room for error in intercepting the Xiongnu's follow-up troops this time. Zijun wants to go by himself."

Changsun Shouji also knew that the matter was of great importance and did not say any more polite words. He nodded and asked: "So, how many people will Zijun bring?"

Wen Zijun stretched out two fingers with his right hand.

"Two hundred thousand?" Changsun Shouji asked.

Wen Zijun shook his head with a smile and replied: "Twenty thousand."

"Twenty thousand troops?" Changsun Shouji was shocked when he heard this. "The Xiongnu's follow-up troops have 400,000 people. You only brought 20,000 troops? Isn't it too few?"

Wen Zijun replied: "We are here to sneak attack them, and there is no need to fight with them. We only need to divert the water from Daihai Lake. Why do we need so many people? Besides, this is a secret operation.

The information must not be allowed to leak. If we rush to Zangyue Valley with 100,000 or 80,000 people, wouldn't all our efforts be wasted if the Huns spies know about it?"

After hearing this, Changsun Shouji thought it made sense, so he nodded and said: "Okay, I will follow what you said. When do you plan to set off?"

Wen Zijun said decisively: "I will leave tonight."

Changsun Shouji was a little surprised and said, "So fast?"

Wen Zijun continued: "It won't work if we don't hurry up. It will take about ten days for the Xiongnu's follow-up troops to arrive at Qinglong City, so they will pass by Zangyue Valley in about seven or eight days. And it will take us two or three days to get to Zangyue Valley, and there will be only

It took five or six days to arrange it. Therefore, the sooner the better. In addition, in order to avoid being discovered as much as possible, I decided to march at night and slow down my marching speed and rest during the day. In this way, those who have been to Zangyue Valley

There may be one more day."

After hearing this, Changsun Shouji couldn't help but nodded slightly and said, "In that case, it's up to you, Zijun."

That night, Wen Zijun summoned Kuang Zhenghe, Cheng Li, Li Shangdong and other generals, explained his action plan, and told Kuang Zhenghe and them to take the soldiers well and obey the command of Dingbei Marquis Changsun Shouji.

Wang Jin, Chao Hai and others expressed their willingness to follow Wen Zijun to Zangyue Valley to stop the Xiongnu's follow-up troops, but Wen Zijun rejected them.

Wen Zijun led the Dragon and Phoenix Squadron and his 20,000 personal guards, and began to sneak towards the Zangyue Valley under the cover of night. The two crazy people were not among the ranks. They had been sent away by Wen Zijun.

Wen Zijun led 20,000 personal guards and marched in inaccessible mountains. The speed at the beginning was average because they had not yet adapted to running long distances in the barren mountains at night. Later, Wen Zijun summed it up and called people

We first went to explore the road during the day. When we traveled at night, we got to know the terrain and gradually increased our speed.

The 20,000 personal guards were the elite of the Lingnan Army. They all moved quickly and had strict discipline. Even so, after two days, they all looked like monkeys in the mountains. After they set off from the military camp, their clothes were never untied.

However, when resting, they just fell asleep on the dead branches and leaves according to the terrain. After waking up, they followed the command and moved forward quickly. Some soldiers felt that it was too much, but no one complained, and no one slowed down their pace at all.

Three days later, the personal guards led by Wen Zijun arrived at Zangyue Valley.

Zangyue Valley has towering trees, thick bushes, and weeds that are almost as tall as a person. The valley blocks out the sky and the sun rarely shines through. There is a mountain stream on the left side of the valley, and its water source is the Dahei River upstream.

.

Wen Zijun observed carefully and found that there was only a mountain road in the middle of the valley. Along the way, there were broken branches and broken grass caused by trampling. Judging from the break marks, it was caused by the Sirius army passing through the valley. Apart from that, there was nothing else

No trace of anyone's presence could be found.

The valley does not need to be laid out to avoid disturbing others. As long as water can rush down from this mountain stream, it will surely flood the valley.

Wen Zijun took 20,000 people around and reached the source of the mountain stream without leaving any trace in Zangyue Valley. He knew that he only had five days at most to arrange everything, maybe only four.

There are two things to do at the source of the mountain stream. One is to modify the channel of the Dahei River. In addition to deepening and widening it, the river channel must also face the mountain stream directly; the other is to thin the source of the mountain stream.

When a flood comes, it can be destroyed at once, allowing the flood to pass quickly. Wen Zijun only left five thousand people to complete these two tasks, and Nangong Qi was responsible for it. In addition, the Dragon and Phoenix team was responsible for closely monitoring the Zangyue Valley and keeping an eye on the Huns.

The exact time of arrival of the large force.

The most difficult thing is that to divert the water from Daihai Lake to the Dahei River, a river channel must be dug. Fortunately, the terrain of Daihai is higher than that of the Heihe River, and the distance is not too far.

It took half a day for Wen Zijun to reach the shore of Daihai Lake.

Daihai is an oval lake that looks like an insect chrysalis. It is not very big, but the water in it is enough to wash away the Zangyue Valley twice. The water in Daihai is extremely clear, reflecting the blue sky, and the water becomes

The lake is blue and blue. All sides of the lake are covered with green water plants. On the side near the Great Wall of Han Dynasty, there are lush green woods, while on the other side near the Xiongnu, there is yellow sandy land in the distance.

Green trees, blue water, white clouds, and yellow sand all come into view in a very layered manner.

When Wen Zijun saw such a beautiful picture, he felt it was so gentle, clear and ethereal.

But he quickly put away his intoxication with Daihai Lake. He knew exactly what he wanted to do.

So, the Guardsmen who had rested for a long time began to dig the river. Since this river was not used for irrigation by the people, Wen Zijun did not need the river to have any route, and he did not have time to dig when encountering rocks. At this time

The only option is to take a detour or recalculate the water flow rate.

Four days later, the gap in Daihai Lake has been completely excavated, and the river channel has been excavated. The gap in Daihai is currently blocked with giant trees, sandbags filled with sand, grass roots, etc. This will make it easier to open the gap when the time comes, and these

The giant tree will be the head of the flood and will be pushed forward by the flood. Its destructive power cannot be underestimated.

Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind. Now we just have to wait for the large Xiongnu troops to enter the Zangyue Valley. According to the spies, the follow-up troops of the Xiongnu will arrive at the Zangyue Valley tomorrow evening.
