Chapter 292 Beihuan does not necessarily need cavalry
"What kind of battle is this bastard Wei Wenzhong fighting?"
"Beiyuan Shoal is such an important location, but he only has troops?"
"I really doubt that this bastard is a Beihuan spy!"
On the way to Beidaying, Shen Luoyan kept yelling at Wei Wenzhong.
In her opinion, knowing that Beihuan was willing to risk his life, Wei Wenzhong should have deployed to troops in the Beiyuan Shoal area. No matter how brave the Beihuan people were, they would not be able to rush in.
Suining Guard was surrounded and Shuofang was threatened, all caused by Wei Wenzhong.
Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "I can't really blame Wei Wenzhong for this matter."
"Why aren't you surprised?"
Shen Luoyan said angrily: "You still speak for this bastard?"
"We are not talking for him, we are seeking truth from facts."
Yunzheng explained: "Beiyuan Shoal is such a big place, and troops are deployed to defend it, which is already a lot! If there are more, they can't even be deployed! Moreover, Suining Guard and Jing'an Guard also have large troops stationed there. , can provide support at any time! Wei Wenzhong’s arrangement is not a big problem..."
Although Yunzheng and Wei Wenzhong did not get along, on this point, it cannot be said that Wei Wenzhong did not arrange things well.
It can be said that the defenders of Beiyuan Shoal may be a little careless.
Or perhaps, the Beihuan cavalry were indeed too brave.
Even if the troops hold on for a while longer, the reinforcements from Suining Guard and Jing'an Guard not far away can arrive.
As long as Beihuan is not allowed to seize control of the Beiyuan shoal, Beihuan's leading troops will have no choice but to be strangled as soon as reinforcements arrive.
But unfortunately, Beihuan was too fast!
Suining Guard and Jing'an Guard are only thirty miles away from Beiyuan Shoal!
When the cavalry attacks at full speed, they can arrive in less than an hour!
Who would have thought that an army of people would be defeated so quickly?
It is estimated that Wei Wenzhong is now determined to kill the guard of Beiyuan Shoal.
Thirty thousand troops!
Stay safe!
No matter what, it shouldn't be a problem to hold on for a day, right?
Not to mention people, even if stones are piled there, the enemy will not be able to kill them easily!
What the hell kind of war is this?
If the defender of Beiyuan Shoal had not died in the battle, he would definitely have been killed!
Shen Luoyan frowned slightly and asked, "Are we in danger now?"
"Let's not talk about this first, let's get to Beida Camp first!"
Yun Zheng secretly had a headache and was cursing in his heart.
According to Wei Wenzhong's arrangement, under normal circumstances, if Beihuan wanted to cross the Beiyuan shoal and fight over, he would have to pay at least twice as many casualties as the Beifu Army!
This is actually a good opportunity to consume Beihuan's troops!
Wei Wenzhong must have made this calculation as well.
But people are not as good as heaven.
The rapid defeat of the -strong army completely disrupted Wei Wenzhong's plan.
This matter is a bit troublesome now.
Silently all the way, they quickly arrived at Beida Camp.
As soon as Yunzheng arrived, he immediately summoned the generals into the big tent and informed everyone about the situation of the Suining Guards.
After learning about the situation there, several hot-tempered generals scolded them on the spot.
No one expected that the -strong army was defeated without even being able to reach reinforcements.
The general guarding the important position of Beiyuan Shoal should be cut into pieces with a thousand cuts.
"I'm afraid there's something fishy here."
Yu Shizhong frowned and said: "We have had countless interactions with the Beihuan cavalry. No matter how elite the Beihuan cavalry is, under normal circumstances, it should not be possible to break through the Beiyuan shoal defended by troops so quickly..."
In terms of physical fitness, the Beihuan cavalry are indeed generally stronger than the Daqian soldiers.
This is not an indisputable fact.
But no matter how good Beihuan's physical fitness is, he is still not so brave!
If it were a normal attack, Yu Shizhong was confident that no matter how many people Beihuan sent to attack, as long as he was given people, he could defend it for at least half a month.
The person who can be sent by Wei Wenzhong to guard an important place like Beiyuan Shoal is naturally unlikely to be a loser.
There must be something they don't know.
Yu Shizhong's analysis has also been recognized by the majority.
Indeed, the -strong army was defeated too quickly!
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
"The deal is already done. There is no point in discussing how Beihuan came to be killed."
Yunzheng waved his hand, "Now, Beihuan adopts a strategy of siege but not attack against the Suining Guards. It is obviously to cut off the Suining Guards' supply line and force Wei Wenzhong to send troops to rescue. He wants to eat the main force of the Beifu Army in the wild... "
"That's true!"
Du Guiyuan nodded slightly, "But their -strong army has lost at least to , right? The remaining troops are divided into three armies. Aren't they afraid of being defeated by each of us?"
"It's estimated to be more than ."
Yu Shizhong shook his head and said: "Beiyuan Shoal is under their control, and their reinforcements can come in continuously!"
Du Guiyuan frowned, "But Beihuan is already short of food. How can there be so much food and grass to feed so many people?"
Beihuan Control controls Beiyuan Shoal, and reinforcements will definitely not be a problem.
But people and horses all need to eat and drink!
People's supplies are still easy to handle. Carrying ten kilograms of dry food, in extreme cases, it is not a problem to hold on for more than ten days.
But what about horses?
What do horses eat?
According to the configuration of the Beihuan cavalry, at least one man and two horses will be used during war!
Even if Beihuan only has an army of , that is still horses!
The amount of food and fodder consumed by so many war horses is extremely terrifying!
There is no way Beihuan can keep up with its logistical supplies!
"It's true that a serious locust plague occurred in Beihuan. Even if three million loads of grain were robbed, it would only be enough for an army of people to survive until the spring of next year."
"If Beihuan forces it together, it won't be a problem to raise an army of , but the food will definitely not be enough!"
"It would be somewhat understandable if Beihuan attacked Daqian's city! After all, if you capture the city, you will probably be able to get food supplies! But now, Beihuan has chosen to besiege rather than attack. This is really abnormal!"
As Du Guiyuan finished speaking, everyone started talking.
Food and grass supplies are always one of the most important aspects of marching and fighting.
In a war, it doesn't necessarily mean there are advantages if there are more people!
There are so many people, so there must be so much food! Logistics and supplies must also be able to keep up!
Can Beihuan have so much food for so many troops to consume like this?
If the Beifu army is really exhausted, Beihuan will probably be exhausted first.
At this moment, everyone was a little confused.
It is indeed too abnormal for Beihuan to adopt the strategy of siege but not attack.
"What kind of medicine is being sold in Beihuan's gourd?"
"Aren't they afraid that supplies will be cut off and these people will starve to death?"
"This battle is a bit confusing!"
Everyone was talking a lot, racking their brains to think about Bei Huan's purpose of doing this.
But after much thought, I still can't figure it out.
Normal people would never fight like this!
Just when everyone was puzzled, Yun Zheng suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly: "We have all overlooked one point."
"Ok?"
Shen Luoyan was curious and immediately asked: "Which point?"
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Beihuan doesn't necessarily need cavalry!"
