Ma Niubi said,
"Actually, we should fight the enemy separately. You fight from the left and I fight from the right. This way we can encircle the enemy and the opposing coach won't be able to escape even if he wants to."
"Grandma, you didn't tell me earlier!"
"I just remembered it, don't say I didn't think of it, coach Liang Peng didn't think of it either!"
Ma Niubi complained.
How did he know Liang Peng's tactics? Ten thousand cavalry against more than 20,000 infantry would indeed have an advantage, but they have to be gathered together to have impact. If the troops are divided into two groups, the impact will only be reduced and some people will be defeated. The risk of defeating enemies one by one.
After all, capturing the enemy's commander alive was secondary. Their main goal was to defeat the enemy's rear army, otherwise the rear army would be able to meet the encircled army.
Zhou An and Ma Niubai happily chased Queding Quyang, while Liang Peng, after seeing that the enemy's rear army had fled, relaxed and continued to command his own army to fight.
At this time, the enemy army has been surrounded, but if hundreds of thousands of people gather together, it is difficult to shake them. Every step forward is extremely difficult. Hundreds of thousands of people work together to guard against external attacks, which is to fight for three days. It would be difficult to annihilate them all in three nights.
Liang Peng changed his tactics and asked Lin Guang and Ma Niubai to lead part of the army from east to west, breaking through the enemy's army in the center and dividing the enemy's battle formation.
Only by dividing the enemy's army can the enemy's strength be dispersed and defeated one by one.
Otherwise, although they surrounded the enemy's army, the enemy's strength was concentrated and their strength was scattered around. Once the enemy's army broke through violently in one direction, they would not be able to stop it.
This is why on the battlefield, encirclement combat is rarely used. Unless one's own side has an absolute numerical advantage and strives to completely annihilate the enemy, it is really difficult to stabilize the encirclement.
Nie Chen dared to surround Ning Wushuang before, and he only dared to do so because of the geographical advantage.
Otherwise, if they have 160,000 people to surround someone else's 150,000 people and fight, it will be a complete dispersion of troops and an unwise move.
Liang Peng just wanted to take advantage of the fact that the enemy army did not have a commander-in-chief to command it, and completely divide and wipe out the enemy army in one go.
On the top of the city, Nie Chen pointed downwards and said to Queding Tangwu with a smile,
"Big Chief, take a look, how is the current battle going? How is the performance of this wonderful show I invited you to watch?"
Queding Tangwu was dumbfounded, with sweat pouring from his forehead, and murmured,
"Failed, defeated, that traitor doesn't know how to fight at all. The enemy has already set up a posture to surround our army. How can he still let our army charge directly and fall into the encirclement?
In this battle, it was too easy to encircle us. Our army was leaderless and had no one to command us. If we continue to fight like this, we are in danger of being annihilated! "
"Then how do you think your barbarian army compares to my Feng army?"
After Quedingtangwu was silent for a long time, he said with difficulty,
"The wind army's battle formation is too powerful. Even if our army is not surrounded, it is still no match.
Your weapons and the coordination between your various arms are far superior to our army.
Judging from the current strength of both sides, our army has no chance of winning no matter how we fight against your army. "
Nie Chen laughed and said,
"Then do you think there will be another war between us in the future?"
"Huh? What does that mean?"
Queding Tangwu said in surprise.
Looking at it like this, Nie Chen didn't plan to fight again.
Nie Chen said lightly,
"Big Chief, I have no interest in your grassland at all, and I have never taken the initiative to send troops into the grassland. Instead, the Qiyan tribe and the Queding tribe have repeatedly assembled large armies to attack me.
I had to fight back.
My goal is the flowery world in the south, not your barren grassland.
The grassland is the territory of the barbarians, and the south is our territory. I think that the vast grassland is the place you want more than the world in the south, right?
That's the home of the barbarians. The south is not suitable for you. Don't come here again. "
"You...willing to let me go?"
Queding Tangwu said in surprise.
"Then it depends on what price you offer. You and I are old friends. We have always done business and lived in peace. I hope we can live in peace in the future.
But you came to attack us and caused our army to lose so much. As the victor, I ask for benefits from you. Is this natural? "
"As it should be, you can make a price."
Nie Chen smiled slightly and waved to Ouyang Ming.
Ouyang Ming walked forward with a smile, hugged Queding Tangwu and said,
"My Ouyang Ming is Master Nie's military advisor. I have met the chief. Next, please ask the chief to talk to me."
"Negotiation? Negotiate here?"
Queding Tangwu pointed at the city wall at his feet in surprise.
"Yes, right here. After all, there is still a war outside. Chief, you don't want your soldiers to die too much. If you delay for an extra quarter of an hour, thousands of soldiers will die. This is all He is the most handsome man among you.
If they are all dead, how can you, the great leader, face the three northern tribes who are like wolves and tigers? "
"Okay, let's talk here."
Queding Tangwu cleared his throat and said,
"Tell me your conditions."
"Please tell me first, Chief, how much do you think your life, the lives of your nineteen children, and the lives of your hundreds of thousands of troops outside are worth."
Ouyang Ming smiled leisurely.
"You want money? I don't have much money to give you. As we all know, our barbarian tribe is very poor."
"That doesn't matter. If you don't have money, you can use territory, horses, supplies, and population to pay off the debt."
"What? You still want our land? Why do you want prairie land?"
"Grazing. If we want to form a cavalry, we will definitely need horses. Soldiers have to eat meat for every meal. If they don't eat meat, they won't have the strength to fight. They have to raise cattle and sheep, right?"
Ouyang Ming said this, but in fact he had no intention of acquiring grassland land at all.
The grassland is vast and there are no walls, making it easy to attack but difficult to defend.
And even if you want to raise horses and cattle and sheep, you have to send people to raise them, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the cost is not low. It is better to let Queding raise them and buy them at a low price. Although it costs a little more, but Save worry and effort.
He just said this because he wanted to raise the price.
Queding Tangwu said with a gloomy face,
"You can pay compensation, but not ceding land. If I cede the grassland land to you, the people will dissatisfy me. If I lose power, if another big leader comes over, they will not recognize these terms!"
"Okay, then let me change the conditions. Most of the birds will move three hundred miles north. There will be no more than 50,000 troops within three hundred miles north of Qingshui County!"
"What does it mean?"
Queding Tangwu frowned.
"The top of your bird is too close to us, which is not good. The depth space is too small.
Moreover, the top target of your bird is the north. It will be good for you to migrate more to the north.
After all, big boss, you don’t want the situation like yesterday to happen again, right? "
