Chapter 579 Battle of Xingyang, Military Discussion
After hearing Guo Jia's words, Ye Tian nodded.
As Guo Jia said, Xingyang City is a place where military strategists must fight for.
There is an artificially excavated ditche in the east of Xingyang City connecting the Huai River and the Si River, becoming a natural barrier in the eastern part of Xingyang. This ditche is the Bian River.
Now Ye Tian and Cao Cao, Liu Dai and others jointly attacked together, and the army has reached outside Xingyang City.
Xingyang City is facing the Yellow River in the north, facing Mount Mang and Mount Song. To the west is Guangwu Mountain. The mountain is steep and upright, stretching for countless miles.
The unique terrain of Xingyang, which is surrounded by mountains and water, makes it a natural defense barrier, which is difficult to attack with one hand.
When Qin Shihuang entered the Central Plains, he built a large granary Aocang City near Xingyang and built a large granary here.
During the Chu-Han battle for hegemony, Liu Bang retreated from Pengcheng and did not stabilize the front until Xingyang.
The reason is also because of Xingyang’s special geographical location and easy defense and difficult attack.
It can be said that once Xingyang City is broken, there will be only the last barrier left to the east of Luoyang City, namely the Arc demise.
In other words, with the wisdom of Dong Zhuo and Jia Xu and Li Ru and other counselors, they would never easily give up the majestic pass of Xingyang City to the Guandong Alliance Army.
Guo Jia once studied in the world's No. 1 academy and Yingchuan academy, and was extremely knowledgeable.
Naturally, I know a clear understanding of the pass around Luoyang City.
Especially the Hulao Pass defense zone composed of Aocang, Xingyang, and Arc departing passes, Guo Jia's talent and knowledge are of course a clear understanding.
After hearing this, Ye Tian showed thoughts in his eyes and said, "You are right. I think Dong Zhuo and Xu Rong will definitely choose to fight us on the plain east of the Bian River.
Field battles can exert 100% of the power of the Xiliang cavalry, but this is also our opportunity. If we can defeat Hua Xiong, Xu Rong and others and the Xiliang army under their command, it will be much easier to attack Luoyang City next."
Although Ye Tian learned about Hua Xiong, Xu Rong and others coming.
But he is still quite confident.
Although the Sour Jujube Alliance was newly formed, in terms of elite level, that is, the combat power of individual soldiers, it is definitely not as good as the Xiliang Army, who has experienced many battles.
However, with the elite 1 million troops under Ye Tian, Ye Tian also had enough confidence to lead the Suzao Alliance to defeat the Xiliang Army.
Not long after, Ye Tian decided to convene a military discussion.
After learning that General Xu Rong of the Central Army and Hua Xiong, who had always led the Xiliang army to Xingyang City, had already led the Xiliang army.
Ye Tian convened the Allied generals within the main business of the Sour Jujube Alliance to discuss the next battle in Xingyang.
When the snare drum sounded, everyone knew that it was a signal to convene a military discussion, and that Ye Tian was a very rigorous person in charge of the army.
They didn't dare to neglect and rushed over.
If you get to the main business and cannot ride a horse, you will walk to the main tent.
Outside the military tent, there were armored soldiers wearing armored and spears, fully armed, and full of fierce murderous auras.
The military flag was rustling, and no one dared to make noise or walk around. As soon as they walked into the military camp, there was a solemn atmosphere coming to their faces.
Ye Tian sat in the top position in the tent, and important figures from the Sour Zao Alliance on both sides had already arrived.
Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu County, Cao Cao, the fake general of Fenwu, Wei Zi, the head of the Chenliuwei clan of the five great families in the world, Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, Bao Tao, the brother of Bao Xin, Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang County, Kong Yi, the governor of Yuzhou, Xu Yu, the prime minister of Chen, Liu Xun, the magistrate of Jianping County, Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling County, and Zang Hong, the prime minister of Guangling County......
Soon everyone arrived in the tent, and they all had smiles on their faces and looked quite relaxed.
After a coalition war, they entered Henan Yin and won several major victories together and won several county-level cities.
Now the atmosphere between the many princes is no longer awkward, but becomes harmonious, and Ye Tian's prestige is also increasing among the Sour Zao Alliance.
Especially Cao Cao, Bao Xin, Zhang Chao, Zhang Miao, Zang Hong and other hard-core hawks, their favorability with Ye Tian soared.
Seeing that everyone had already entered the tent, Ye Tian sat upright on the main seat and said aloud to everyone:
"Dong Zhuo's army is powerful and has countless elite soldiers and generals under his command. However, when the heroes gather in Xingyang, they will definitely be able to completely eliminate the Dong thief entrenched in Luozhong in one fell swoop.
If you are not talented, you are elected as the leader of the Sour Jujube Alliance. You will definitely be punished for any merits and will lead the way. Once you lead the army to attack Luoyang, you can kill and save the emperor from the water and fire. This is the time to restore the Dragon Court!"
Cao Cao nodded immediately, glanced at the generals and escorted the tent, and responded, "Your lords. Dong thief attacked the emperor and ordered the ministers to deceive the heaven and earth, destroy the country and kill the king, filth the palace and ban it, poisoned the queen mother, and poisoned the evil thief. I, Cao Mengde, must fight with the king and the lord.
Now Yangwu County, Dongwu County and other counties have been taken. Xingyang City is right in front of us as a military important place. As long as we win, victory is expected. We should strive to advance with such a good opportunity!"
Cao Cao has always been a hard-core war sect and has a good relationship with Ye Tian, so he immediately added a lot of fire to the atmosphere in the account with his words.
Before the war, the most important thing is naturally momentum. If you don’t have enough morale, your combat effectiveness will drop by several%.
Whether it is a heroic soldier like the Yue Family Army or an ordinary militia bandit, the importance of morale is treated equally.
There is a world of difference between the combat power of a strong army and the combat power of a low-spirited army.
There is a morale system in the mythical world, and the method to improve morale is also very simple.
Continuous victory can improve morale. On the contrary, if you keep defeating the war, morale will naturally decline.
In addition to fighting, maintaining good logistics supplies and fighting against generals in front of the battlefield will also greatly affect the morale of the army.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Zhang Miao also showed a look of joy on his face and said, "Meng De said it well. Now it is time to take advantage of the previous victory and strive forward. It is absolutely not to be missed. As long as we capture Xingyang City, we will open the last portal to Sishui Pass.
As long as we take down Ao Cang City, a city with heavy grain and grass, our pressure on logistics supplies will be greatly reduced. At that time, we will continue to advance eastward and then take down Arc deputies. We can go straight to Luoyang City and trap Dong Zhe in Luoyang City."
Zhang Miao's tone was quite excited.
He is considered a hardcore hawk in the Sour Date Alliance.
He and his younger brother Zhang Chao recruited many soldiers this time and headed far away to the vicinity of Luoyang City...
As one of the party members [Eight Chefs], Zhang Miao spent his exhausted family funds and recruited many powerful soldiers in order to make great contributions in the process of attacking Dong Zhuo.
Zhang Chao even traveled thousands of miles from Guangling City in Xuzhou, abandoning county affairs and rushing to the road.
Guangling County is the southernmost county in Xuzhou. It is close to Yangzhou, which is called a wilderness and gathers mountains and mountains. It can be said that it is 108,000 miles away from Luoyang City.
However, the two of them abandoned many people who came to participate in the attack on Dong Zhuo, which shows how much they were doing.
It can be said that among the current princes, the two are second only to Cao Cao's hawks.
At this time, under the leadership of Ye Tian, the Sour Jujube Alliance formed a rope and broke through Yangwu County, Yuanwu County, Juan County and other counties. Now it has threatened Xingyang County and Aocang City.
This naturally made Zhang Miao quite excited and couldn't wait to fight.
Kong Yichang, who was standing beside him, showed a look of thought on his face, and after a moment he said with some concern: "Junhou is right, but how should he fight with Dong Zhuo's troops?
I heard that Dong Zhuo sent out the most elite Feixiong Army under his command this time, and even sent Hua Xiong, Xu Rong and other figures with great generals. I'm afraid it's difficult to deal with."
"You don't have to worry about Gongxu. If the overall situation has been decided today, Wang Kuang, Zhang Yang and others led their troops in Hanoi and peeked at Mengjin and Wushejin.
Sun Jian even went in and out of Yingchuan, threatening Liang County, Yang people, Xincheng, and to the north of Zhuoyuan Pass and Taigu Pass. In addition to us, Dong Zhuo did not dare to underestimate these people.
Under the forced attacks of three groups, Dong Zhuo must divide his troops to fight. In this way, the strength of any Dong Zhuo's troops will inevitably be greatly reduced. Why should he be afraid?
As the gathering of our coalition forces, we have gathered more than one million soldiers, and we have many good generals and magical plans, with amazing strength and the strength to attack Dong Zhuo.
Although Xu Rong is good at commanding troops, Hua Xiong and Fan Chou are brave, I don’t think they are our opponents.”
We need to break through Xingyang, occupy Ao Cang, and enter Chenggao. By then, Dong Zhuo will be just a turtle in the jar and will sooner or later be defeated."
Ye Tian's words were calm and composed, which was even more confusing.
Hearing this, Kong Yi, Yuan Yi, Liu Dai and others nodded, agreeing very much.
Although Dong Zhuo's side is strong, it is now being besieged by three coalition forces.
It is inevitable that you will feel like you are stretched and you will be embarrassed to advance and retreat.
However, the Sour Zao Alliance's strength in the game is indeed very strong.
After all, there are two governors, seven or eight prefects, and various messy troops. Although there is insufficient experience, the quality is a little poor.
But the number is there, and there are many powerful historical generals hidden in it, which has increased the strength of this army.
Especially, at this moment, the Sour Jujube Alliance has a leader like Ye Tian...
