Chapter 99 Long-term pain or short-term pain

Sun Jian's navy took the lead in launching an attack on Yunwu City. Although Han Sui also had some naval forces, they were not many in number. So Sun Jian took advantage of this and quickly defeated Han Sui in Yunwu City with thunderous momentum.

The navy in the tributary of the Yellow River at the northern end of the city was wiped out. It seemed that Han Sui didn't seem to care much about the defeat of his navy. In fact, in general, Han Sui basically gave up the navy completely. When Sun Jian launched

When they attacked fiercely, they almost never encountered any decent resistance.

Considering that Han Sui originally had enough time and troops to build the navy, it seems obvious that Han Sui did not pay enough attention to the navy. Of course, this is actually normal, because in fact this tributary of the Yellow River is very small.

If you go further up, you will enter the depths of the Qilian Mountains. The width of the river there is very narrow, the water flow is very fast, and the direction of the river is also winding and rotating. In fact, it is not very conducive to boating. Large ships are basically unable to enter, and small boats are difficult to access.

It is easily swept over by strong currents.

Therefore, it is normal for Han Sui to give up the navy. In fact, judging from the terrain of Yunwu City, even if Sun Jian completely occupied the advantage of the navy, he wanted to penetrate directly into Yunwu City through waterways.

It is definitely not an easy task. Before the siege was officially launched, Sun Jian also sent out a lot of scouts to conduct investigations, trying to find the weakest place to attack the city.

However, what surprised Sun Jian was that Han Sui seemed to deliberately let Sun Jian's siege troops into the city. Sun Jian was now in a dilemma. If Han Sui's defense was very tight, Sun Jian would have to pay a lot.

To attack the city at any cost, Sun Jian might not hesitate to launch an attack, but now Han Sui has made it clear that he does not have a tight defense. This is like Zhuge Liang's empty city strategy. It is a psychological tactic that makes Sun Jian

I immediately doubted what Han Sui's true intentions were, and felt that this was probably a trick or a trap by Han Sui.

But now Sun Jian's water troops have been assembled, just like an arrow on the string has to be fired. If he doesn't attack at this time, it will be a trivial matter whether it delays the fighter plane. I'm afraid Dong Zhuo will make an issue of it after he returns.

, how embarrassing would it be then? Sun Jian was not willing to hold his head high in front of Dong Zhuo because of this incident, so even if Han Sui really prepared a trap for him, he could only bite the bullet and continue the attack.

In fact, it was indeed a very wise choice for Han Sui not to carry out a strict defense. It is not that Han Sui is really as clever as Zhuge Liang in knowing how to use psychological strategies similar to the empty city strategy, but in fact the north of Yunwu City is close to the water.

The area itself is not so easy to defend, because it is difficult to fully deploy the troops here. In fact, most of Han Sui's Xiliang troops are better at fighting in relatively open areas, and their soldiers' armor coverage rate is not as good as

The imperial army of the Eastern Han Dynasty, so in hand-to-hand battles, they were often unable to defeat the imperial troops of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Sun Jian was also very good at training and leading sailors. When the troops he led launched an attack from the water, their combat effectiveness was quite strong. So in this case, Han Sui chose to directly abandon part of the city near the water.

The defense allowed Sun Jian's troops to look for opportunities to encircle and annihilate Sun Jian's troops after entering Yunwu City. If Sun Jian's troops were to go deep alone, Han Sui would find a way to bypass Sun Jian's troops.

Once the troops return to the road on the ship, they can catch turtles in the urn or hunt dogs behind closed doors.

Sun Jian has rich combat experience, and he actually thought of the tactics that Han Sui might adopt, so on the one hand he dared to advance too impulsively when attacking, and on the other hand he also tried to prepare in advance to guard against Han Sui's possible presence.

The act of going around and cutting off the way back.

But as a result, Sun Jian's offensive rhythm changed. He occupied a corner of the northern end of Yunwu City without paying much cost. The troops from the rear could continuously support from here, and there seemed to be only a few nearby.

Han Sui's troops were on the defensive, and they were really trying to lure the enemy deeper.

Sun Jian was heartbroken. After confirming that his troops were prepared for Han Sui's sneak attack, he decisively took the lead and led his troops to rush into the center of Yunwu City. Whether in ancient times or in modern times, he wanted to completely

Occupying a city is not a simple matter. Even after the city gate has been breached or entered into the city, because the defending party has not given up resistance, what will follow will be extremely difficult and cruel.

There was a street fight in the city.

As the home side fighting, Han Sui's troops will still have a considerable advantage in many aspects. The first point is to take the lead in the deployment of the army, because Han Sui's troops can more easily grasp the movements of Sun Jian's troops.

, but it was difficult for Sun Jian to fully grasp the movements of Han Sui's troops in the city. In this way, Han Sui would have the opportunity to use local forces to attack more and less, or to use the strong to defeat the weak, to give himself an advantage, or to use the terrain in the city to carry out attacks.

Divide and disintegrate Sun Jian's troops.

It is difficult for Sun Jian to conduct real-time command and control of all his troops at the same time. Once a few troops are surrounded by the enemy, all they can do is to fight to the death or surrender. In fact, when you are isolated and helpless, if

Not many soldiers are willing to die if they have a chance to survive.

Therefore, Sun Jian could either choose a slower offensive plan layer by layer, gradually disintegrating the defense of Yunwu City step by step, and occupying it while fighting. This offensive method is the most difficult but also the most reliable. Although it may cost a lot,

It is often the safest way, because it is not easy to put your troops into the risk of completely losing control. All risks and losses are controllable. However, because it lasts for a long time, the overall loss is

Relatively large.

When there is sufficient food, grass and troops, the dominant side is often more inclined to adopt this offensive method, because it is almost difficult to give the weaker side a chance to come back, but now Sun Jian is really the side with a great advantage.

?

Another way of attacking is to try to find the core figures of the defending party, and try to kill its most important core figures through beheading operations, or to annihilate its most important combat troops, thereby giving the opponent a huge psychological impact. This kind of

The risk of this method is extremely high. The profit after success may be very large, but it may not actually be that big. It is a plan with unstable returns and very high risks. It is very risky. Generally speaking, if there is a better

I would not choose this method of attack.

But now Sun Jian is actually more inclined to use such a higher-risk combat method, because Han Sui is indeed in Yunwu City, so as long as he kills or captures Han Sui, he can win the battle. At the same time, Sun Jian has no patience to fight.

In a protracted battle, he was not sure that he could win the final victory after a long battle, so instead of falling into a hard battle and finally losing the battle, it would be better to try his best from the beginning, even if he loses.

So uncomfortable.

This may be the so-called short-term pain rather than long-term pain!
