Chapter 2416 see death
Seoul is located in the west of the Hanzhong Plain, more than 200 miles away from Helecheng to the east and more than 200 miles away from Heyangping Pass to the west, which means that Seoul is located in the middle of the two places.
The Wei army's priority attack on Seoul must have taken into account the geographical location of Seoul. If the Wei army can successfully take Seoul, it would probably be the most powerful move to break the Shu army's Hanzhong defense system.
In this way, Wen Yang's three thousand Yue cavalry is self-evident. They came to attack the city and challenge it just pretended. The real purpose was to intercept the defenders of Yangping Pass and prevent Fu Qian from sending troops to rescue Seoul.
The Wei army now needs to concentrate its troops to deal with the defenders of Seoul, so it is destined to be impossible to invest too much force at the two points of Lecheng and Yangping Pass. Using 7,000 people to build trenches to siege Lecheng is probably the most force that the Wei army can send.
Due to the terrain of Yangping Pass, the Wei army was unable to surround Yangping Pass, so they sent a cavalry to disturb Yangping Pass, causing Fu Qianwudong to draw troops to rescue Seoul.
Seeing through the Wei army's plan, Fu Qian sneered slightly. Yan Yu's past lessons were still yesterday. How could he make such a stupid mistake?
The Wei army was extremely good at besieging the city and fighting aid. If Yan Yu had not sent troops blindly, he would not have died so quickly. Even if Nanzheng City was not easy to defend, at least they could resist a little, so that the Wei army would not be able to take it down without bloodshed.
Even without a negative teaching material like Yan Yu, Fu Qian would not have sent troops to rescue Seoul easily.
In Jiang Wei's original defense system, he did not require each fortress to watch and help each other. Instead, he ordered them to fight on their own, just sweep the snow in front of their own doors, and ignore the frost on others' tiles.
Because Jiang Wei also knew the Wei army's field combat capabilities, the Shu army had to defend the city and use the fortress's defense to deal with the Wei army. Once they entered the field combat, they could not be opponents of the Wei army and would only die even worse.
Therefore, Jiang Wei asked each fortress to maintain an independent fighting style. After the enemy attacked, they had no reinforcements or rescue. Everything could only rely on themselves. In addition to fighting alone, they were still fighting alone. Whether they could survive in this cruel war was their tenacious perseverance, tenacious belief and unyielding fighting spirit.
Of course, Fu Qian knew what he should do. It was one thing to understand the situation in Hanzhong, but it did not mean that he knew that when Seoul encountered a crisis, he had to go to rescue. Fu Qian would not repeat Yan Yu's mistakes at all, and he had a more important task, that is, to stick to Yangping Pass.
Compared with the gains and losses of Seoul, Yangping Pass is more important. Whether Seoul can be defended is Jiang Bin's business. Even if Seoul really gains and losses are really lost, it will have nothing to do with Fu Qian.
He bears absolute responsibility for Yangping Pass. If Yangping Pass falls, Fu Qian will be unlucky.
Therefore, the Wei army concentrated its troops to attack Seoul and sent 3,000 people to intercept him, which made Fu Qian laugh a little. It seemed that Deng Ai was thinking too much. Even if he didn't send troops to come, Fu Qian would not be able to send troops to rescue Seoul.
Seoul is two hundred miles away. At the speed of the Shu army, it will only take at least three or four days to reach it. Fu Qian only has 20,000 defenders in his hands. If he wants to rescue Seoul, he has to defend Yangping Pass. This number of troops is not enough. Once the troops are divided, his strength will be weaker and he will be easily defeated by the Wei army.
So no matter what happens in Seoul, even if Seoul is in danger, Fu Qian will never save him.
It’s not that Fu Qian is heartless, but determined by the characteristics of the entire Hanzhong defense plan of the Shu army. It is already a great blessing to be able to take care of himself. Fu Qian had no spare energy to save others.
Whether Jiang Bin from Seoul can survive this level can only rely on his own abilities. He wants to be blessed. Fu Qian can't help him.
But will Fu Qian only guard Yangping Pass to death?
That may not be!
After obtaining the latest military information in Hanzhong, Fu Qian was also familiar with the tactical arrangements of the Wei army, which gave Fu Qian a new idea. In order to stop him from rescuing Seoul, the Wei army specially sent Wen Yang to lead three thousand Yue cavalry to intercept him, trying to block him at Yangping Pass and not be allowed to enter and exit.
From a tactical point of view, there is nothing wrong with this. Anyway, these Vietnamese cavalry are not here to attack the city. As the most powerful cavalry in the field, they are enough to bear the task of blocking.
But if we think from another perspective, there are more than 20,000 defenders in Yangping Pass. If we devote all our efforts to attack, we will be sure to eat the 3,000 Wei army members.
According to the information currently obtained, there is no other Wei army within a radius of fifty miles. In other words, if Fu Qian launched an attack on this Wei cavalry, they would not be able to get reinforcements to rescue them in a short period of time. If the Shu army moves faster and can successfully win the battle, it is definitely not a dream to wipe out this Wei army.
Fu Qian was also shocked by his bold idea. Trying to think about it, this idea was crazy enough to wipe out three thousand cavalry of the Wei army? This was definitely a bold and arrogant plan.
The combat effectiveness of the Wei cavalry is quite strong. In history, the Shu army has never had a precedent for completely annihilated the cavalry of the established Wei army. Even when the Shu army was in its prime, Zhuge Liang repeatedly defeated the Wei army when he went to the expedition, but it was so difficult to completely annihilate the cavalry.
First of all, the speed of the cavalry is beyond the reach of the infantry. Once the cavalry notices that the situation is not good, they have a chance to use their speed to get rid of the infantry in the Shu army and then escape.
Even if the Shu army had the opportunity to surround the Wei cavalry, the impact of the cavalry was too strong, especially when they were fighting for life, they could burst out with amazing combat power. As long as they were a little careful in attacking, it would be quite difficult for the Shu army infantry formation to stop them.
Therefore, during the long-term battle with the Wei army, the Shu army did not have any achievements in completely annihilated the Wei cavalry. Even the time when the Shu army ambushed and shot Zhang He in Mumendao, it was just that Zhang He fought too fiercely, led the way and rushed up first, so he was shot and killed. In that battle, there were not many Wei cavalry who were actually shot to death, and Zhang He's body was also snatched back by the Wei army.
