Vol 4 Chapter 2627: Cavalry first grabs water

Meng Longfu frowned and looked at the east-west river in Linqu City. He pointed with his hand: "After passing through Daxian, if you want to gain a foothold in Linqu, then the water source is the first. At that time, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty In the Northern Expedition, the army sent Ma Di to guard the street pavilion, and was finally broken by the Wei Jun. It was because Ma Di did not understand the art of war, and thought that he could attack high, so he led his troops up the mountain, but was cut off by the enemy's water source and finally defeated. For the army, regardless of the victory or defeat on the battlefield, at least if you want to be invincible, you must first ensure that there are no problems with the water source and the food channel. Then, out of Daxian Mountain, the whole army is going to Linqu, The first task is to seize the water source in the south of Linqu city---this is it, Ju Mishui!"
Liu Zhong followed and nodded and said: "Yes, that's it. Linqu City is a big plain city, but the big river in the south of the city is only this huge water. The northern expedition army has 50,000 or 60,000 people. The daily water consumption must be a big river. There is plenty of water in Xian Mountain. This is not a problem, but after coming out of the mountain, there is only one big river in the south of Linqu. If the Yan army blocks water as a camp, or simply pollutes the water source and poisons it, then our army will be short of water. In a very unfavorable situation, if Murong Chao dares to fight us decisively in Linqu, he will definitely control the water source first."
Kuai En blinked the only one left eye: "But, can't they camp Ju Mishui in advance, why do they wait until our army arrives before occupying it?"
Zhu Lingshi smiled and said: "Because the marshal has analyzed before, Murong Chao's purpose is not to simply defeat or stop us, otherwise he would simply defend Muling Pass with heavy troops, and even send Daxian troops to the Yishui area of ​​Shannan Prefecture. Isn’t it better to stop the water as a camp? Let us enter Linqu and fight again just to eat us in one fell swoop. If the water source is occupied early, then we will not easily enter the army. We will set up camp in the north of Daxian Mountain and start slowly. This is not in line with his purpose, to induce us to go to Linqu, and then cut off water and food, wait for work, wait a few days for our army's spirit to decline, when there is a shortage of water and food, then eliminate it in one fell swoop, this is his plan, so he will wait until I When the whole army rushes out of Linqu, it will stop the water."
Kuai En suddenly realized: "Grandma's, this kid has a lot of tricks."
Liu Yu sighed: "I thought of the last time A Shou and the others sent troops to Xishu. The Shu army, which has always been ignorant of soldiers, used similar tactics. They first lured our army to go deep, and then went out of the yellow tiger, blocking the water as a battalion. It was impossible to move forward, and the attack was fruitless. In the end, the plague prevailed during the hot summer. It is even possible that the disease was caused by the enemy’s poisoning in the water source. In the end, they could only retreat in a panic. This time, there are conspirators like Heipao. On the other hand, I think they will probably use the same tactics. Therefore, it is the most important thing to take the enemy one step faster and seize the water source. Raptors, if A Shou can quickly take down the Muling Pass, I need you to bring two Qian Qingqi, the starry night, taking the Ju Mishui directly, in any case, can not let the Yan army camp or poison the water, you are now the best rider in my place, can you complete this task?"
Meng Longfu smiled: "I've been waiting for this day, the handsome, don't worry, the Raptors will live up to their mission. As long as I'm here, there will never be a problem with the army's water supply!"
Liu Yu nodded, took out an arrow from one side of the arrow box, and handed it to Meng Long Fu: "Donghai Jun Shou, Jianwei General Meng Long Fu, now you are promoted to the Cheqi General Mansion to join the army, add Long Xiang General, lead me to two thousand cavalry in the north, and set off within two days. Be sure to rush to Muling Pass within five days. If Liu Jingxuan and others succeed, you will quickly pass Daxian Mountain and take the Jumie water straight. It is forbidden to fight in love. If you encounter an enemy brigade, the cavalry will disperse the guerrillas. There is only one target. Don't let the Yan army control Suwon or poison the water!"
Speaking of this, Liu Yu paused: "One more thing is to let all the soldiers and civilians of the Kingdom of Yan in Lunan know that Liu Yu is here to report my great enmity and kill my army and people! Although it is far away, I, Liu Yu, will do what I say!"
A gleam of excitement flashed in Meng Longfu's eyes, and he stepped forward to take Ling Jian, and said in a deep voice, "De Ling!"
Liu Yu looked back at Liu Zhong and said in a deep voice: "Liu Zhong, you will bring all the cavalry under Zhuge Limin, plus the two hundred Chinese cavalry you brought with you this time. Act together. Note that if the Yan Army brigade cavalry come to fight, don't fight hard, guerrilla is, as long as it is delayed for three to four days, my army will come!"
Liu Zhong smiled and said: "I must follow the command of the commander."
Liu Yuchang let out a sigh of relief and looked at the generals around him: "Everyone, go back and prepare now. The fleet of naval forces here is ready. Our 20,000 troops will board and set off within two days, and meet the Pengcheng area within seven days. Former army, UU reading www.uukanshu.com arrived at Daxian Pass. Within ten days, I will take everyone to the land of Qingzhou. This time, I won’t see the Yellow River or break the Nanyan. I promise not to return home!"
Everyone pressed their fists on their chests, and promised in unison: "If you don't break Nanyan, you will not return home!"
Outside the city of Guangling, beside Hangou, on a small hill, a figure wrapped in a cloak, with a lifeless bronze mask on her face, watched in the Hangou, thousands of sails racing across the banks, Amidst the tsunami-like cheers of the taxis, the fleet of ships heading north, the infantrymen who were fast-moving on both sides of the river, stretched for dozens of miles, all the way to the north, their eyes gleaming and coldly said: " It's really the Northern Expedition."
Tao Yuanming wore a blue shirt with a smile on his face: "It's just that Liu Yu really thought that with these tens of thousands of infantry, Nan Yan, who had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, could be wiped out? I just came from there and told Nan Yan. Their strength is very clear. They have more cavalry than Liu Yu's entire army. How can this be fought? Compared with the cavalry, I know which is better, even I know. Wouldn't Liu Yu know?"
The captain gave a soft "Oh": "Then what do you mean?"
Tao Yuanming smiled and said: "I think Liu Yu was blown to the sky because he used to say that he was there. Jiangbei has no worries, but this time it was too ugly to beat Nan Yan. In addition to the rumors I spread, the whole Jiangbei vibrated. It can be said that he has lost his trust in emigrating to Jiangbei. If he does not make a tough posture and lead the army to expedition to the north, then even Jiangbei will not be able to control it. Nan Yan snatched him once, and he turned around and beat Daxian Shannan. Zhou County, in order to retaliate, after regaining the face, they will negotiate with Murongchao through Muronglan. Anyway, Nanyan's action this time is also Murongchao's move to consolidate power and establish prestige. Finally, the two sides made a deal with each other. Isn’t it happy to give way to each and get what you need?"
