"What kind of war is this bastard Wei Wenzhong fighting?"
"Beiyuan Shoal is such an important location, but he only sent 30,000 troops?"
"I really suspect that this bastard is a Beihuan spy!"
On the way to Beidaying, Shen Luoyan kept cursing Wei Wenzhong.
In her opinion, knowing that Beihuan was determined to fight to the death, Wei Wenzhong should have deployed 70,000 to 80,000 troops in the Beiyuan shallows area. No matter how brave and fearless the Beihuan people were, they would not be able to break in.
The siege of Suining Guard and the threat to Shuofang were all caused by Wei Wenzhong.
Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "Wei Wenzhong really can't be blamed for this."
"Why not?"
Shen Luoyan said angrily: "Are you still speaking for this bastard?"
"We are not speaking for him. We need to seek truth from facts."
...
...
Yun Zheng explained: "Beiyuan Shoal is such a small place, 30,000 troops are deployed for defense, which is already a lot! If there are more, we can't even deploy them! In addition, Suining Guard and Jing'an Guard also have large troops stationed, ready to provide support at any time! There is no big problem with Wei Wenzhong's deployment..."
Although Yun Zheng and Wei Wenzhong did not get along, it could not be said that Wei Wenzhong had failed to make good arrangements on this point.
All we can say is that the defenders at Beiyuan Shoal may have been a little complacent and careless.
Or maybe the Northern Huan cavalry were indeed too brave.
Even if the 30,000 troops hold out for a while longer, reinforcements from Suining and Jing'an guards not far away could arrive.
As long as Beihuan is not allowed to seize control of Beiyuan Shoal, once the reinforcements arrive, Beihuan's vanguard will have no choice but to be strangled.
But unfortunately, Beihuan was too fast!
Suining Wei and Jing'an Wei are only thirty miles away from Beiyuan Shallows!
If the cavalry attacks at full speed, they can arrive in less than an hour!
Who could have thought that an army of 30,000 would be defeated so quickly?
It is estimated that Wei Wenzhong is now considering killing the commander guarding Beiyuan Beach.
Thirty thousand troops!
Hold the dangerous position!
No matter what, it shouldn't be a problem to hold on for a day, right?
Let alone 30,000 people, even if 30,000 stones were piled there, it would not be so easy for the enemy to kill them!
What the hell is this war?
If the defender of Beiyuan Shoal had not died in the battle, he would have certainly died!
Shen Luoyan frowned slightly and asked again: "Are we in danger now?"
"Let's not talk about this for now, let's get to Beidaying first!"
Yun Zheng secretly felt a headache and cursed in his heart.
According to Wei Wenzhong's arrangement, under normal circumstances, if Beihuan wanted to cross the Beiyuan shallows and attack, it would have to suffer at least twice as many casualties as the Beifu Army!
This is actually a good opportunity to consume Beihuan’s military strength!
Wei Wenzhong must have had the same plan in mind.
But man proposes, God disposes.
The rapid defeat of the 30,000-strong army completely disrupted Wei Wenzhong's plan.
This matter is a bit troublesome now.
There was no conversation along the way, and they soon arrived at Beidaying.
As soon as Yun Zheng arrived, he immediately summoned all the generals into the big tent and informed everyone of the situation of Suining Guard.
Upon learning of the situation over there, several hot-tempered generals cursed on the spot.
No one expected that an army of 30,000 would be defeated before they even had time to wait for reinforcements.
The general who guards the strategic location of Beiyuan Shoal deserves to be cut into pieces!
"I'm afraid there's something fishy going on here."
Yu Shizhong frowned and said, "We have fought against the Beihuan Iron Cavalry countless times. No matter how elite the Beihuan Iron Cavalry is, under normal circumstances, it should not be possible for them to break through the Beiyuan Shoal defended by 30,000 troops so quickly..."
In terms of physical fitness, the Beihuan cavalry are indeed generally stronger than the Dagan soldiers.
This is an indisputable fact.
But no matter how good Beihuan's physical fitness is, he can't be so brave!
If it was a normal attack situation, Yu Shizhong was confident that no matter how many people Beihuan sent to attack, as long as he was given 30,000 people, he could hold out for at least half a month.
Anyone who could be sent by Wei Wenzhong to guard an important place like Beiyuan Shoal could not be a good-for-nothing.
There must be something they don't know about this.
Yu Shizhong's analysis was also recognized by the majority.
Indeed, the 30,000-strong army was defeated too quickly!
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!
"It's a done deal. There's no point in discussing how Beihuan came to kill us."
Yun Zheng waved his hand. "Now, Beihuan has adopted a strategy of besieging Suining Guard without attacking. It is obvious that they want to cut off Suining Guard's supply line and force Wei Wenzhong to send troops to rescue them. They want to eat up the main force of the Beifu Army in the wild..."
“That’s right!”
Du Guiyuan nodded slightly, "But of their 150,000-man army, at least 20,000 or 30,000 have been lost, right? The remaining troops are divided into three armies. Aren't they afraid of being defeated one by one by us?"
"It's estimated to be more than 150,000."
Yu Shizhong shook his head and said, "The Beiyuan Shoal is under their control, and their reinforcements can come in continuously!"
Du Guiyuan frowned, "But Beihuan is already short of food, where can we get so much food to feed so many people?"
Beihuan controlled the Beiyuan Shoal, so reinforcements would definitely not be a problem.
But both people and horses need to eat and drink!
Human supplies are easy to solve. If you carry ten kilograms of dry food, it is not a problem to hold out for ten days in extreme cases.
But what about Ma?
What do horses eat?
According to the configuration of the Beihuan Iron Cavalry, there would be at least one person riding two horses during battle!
Even if Beihuan only has 150,000 troops, that’s still 300,000 war horses!
With so many war horses, the amount of food and fodder consumed is extremely terrifying!
Beihuan’s logistical supplies will never be able to keep up!
"That's right. Beihuan just had a serious locust plague. Even if we robbed Dagan of 3 million dan of grain, it would only be enough for the 200,000-man army to survive until the beginning of next spring."
"If Beihuan were to gather together an army of 500,000, it wouldn't be a problem, but there wouldn't be enough food!"
"If Beihuan attacked Dagan's city, it would be understandable! After all, if they captured the city, they would probably be able to get food supplies! But now, Beihuan chose to besiege instead of attacking, which is really abnormal!"
As Du Guiyuan finished speaking, everyone started talking.
Food supply is always one of the most important parts of marching and fighting.
In war, having more people doesn't necessarily mean there will be any advantage!
With so many people, we need so much food! The logistical supplies must also keep up!
Does Beihuan have so much food to feed so many troops?
If they really waste their time like this, even if the Northern Palace Army doesn't collapse, the Northern Huan will probably collapse first.
At this moment, everyone was a little confused.
Bei Huan's strategy of besieging without attacking was indeed too abnormal.
"What on earth is Beihuan up to?"
"Aren't they afraid that their logistics supply will be cut off and these people will starve to death?"
"This battle is a bit confusing!"
Everyone was talking about it, racking their brains to think about Bei Huan's purpose in doing this.
But no matter how much I think about it, I still can't figure it out.
A normal person would never fight like this!
Just when everyone was puzzled, Yun Zheng suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly: "We all overlooked one point."
"Um?"
Shen Luoyan was curious and immediately asked, "Which point?"
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Beihuan, it doesn't necessarily require cavalry!"
