Chapter 902 The Fighter Plane Came Out
On the dilapidated road of Zhonglingchuan, a long dragon-like team was advancing.
There are many more riding horses between the mountains on both sides.
Their faces were serious and at the same time full of bad luck.
After an unexpected encounter with Suotou and a big fight, Governor Jin knew clearly that the enemy's large force was still behind, but he did not stop to reorganize his army and prepare for battle, but continued to move forward.
The reason is very good: instead of fighting the cavalry in the mountains with rugged and complicated terrain, why not fight in the flat wilderness?
So, he urged the main force of the Chinese army twenty miles away to catch up as soon as possible, leaving only some government soldiers to guard the baggage troops and slowly moved forward.
In addition, the troops that rushed to Yanmen County were also ordered to go west to Yanmen, such as the Silver Spear Right Camp.
I heard that the vanguard of the main force under the command of Prince Liang is about to arrive at Yanmen. They are the Zuo Xiao Cavalry Guards commanded by the guerrilla general Shao Shen, but it is hard to say whether this force will be under the command of Jin Du. Anyway, He was given an order, and it was up to him to obey it or not.
The vanguard chasing the enemy has been changed. This time it is Qin San, the governor of Onobu Qu.
It wasn't actually that far from the place where the two sides first fought to Shanwu, just fifty miles.
Perhaps the former army suffered a loss in the battle. More than 300 riders were killed, and another 200 people died in the pursuit. In the end, only 1,400 of the 2,000 vanguards returned, which frightened Suotou. , or maybe they felt that fighting in a mountainous area was too disadvantageous, so they fired a false shot, frightened off the pursuing Jin army, and retreated overnight, returning to Shanwu County on May 20th.
Zhongling River turns a corner in the west of the city and flows away.
The surrounding terrain is open, with vast areas of pasture and farmland, which is very conducive to cavalry charges.
On the morning of the 20th, Qin San led more than two thousand people on foot and cavalry to the south of Shanwu City and guarded a high slope in the south of the city.
In the afternoon of the same day, more than 6,000 soldiers of Kim Jong arrived at Shanwu.
As far as the eye can see, we and the enemy are fighting fiercely.
Qin San and others dismounted and fought on foot, guarding the highlands with fences. There was a sea of cavalry in all directions, surrounding the highlands.
The five hundred Jie cavalry were probably the first wave of troops to be cleared from the battlefield.
They were disgraced and suffered heavy casualties. After seeing Jin Zheng's arrival, they came from all over to gather together.
Liu Runzhong was so angry that he waved his horsewhip repeatedly, making several of his subordinates cry and howl.
Jin Zheng passed by them. Instead of comforting them, he sneered.
In his eyes, not being able to fight is an original sin.
If you are as capable as Zuo Feilongwei's two thousand soldiers, they can defend the high ground and ten thousand thieves can't attack them. No matter whether they charge on horseback or fight on foot, they can't take them down - hey, where did they come from? With tens of thousands of horses, could it be that some people who did not go on the expedition were recruited?
According to the information obtained from the prisoners, this route was led by Dou Qin and Dou Yuzhen and his son, with a total of 8,000 riders, of which 5,000 were from the Hedouling tribe and the other 3,000 were from several small tribes. .
After the encounter, they retreated for dozens of miles and lured Kim Jong's main force to the open plains.
Jin Zheng was indeed "fooled". Two thousand Iron Armor soldiers were surrounded by rope heads on a high ground.
Suotou also repelled hundreds of Jie cavalry accompanying the soldiers, everything was perfect.
But the problem is that they can't eat these two thousand people.
Jin Zheng climbed up to the high place with three steps and two steps at a time, taking a panoramic view of the battlefield——
Layers of cavalry surrounded the high ground, and most of the people were busy working on the outside and were of no use.
A group of hundreds of cavalry mounted on horseback to attack from the gentler slope on the east side. Arrows rained down from the high ground, shooting the cavalrymen off their backs. From time to time, two or three hundred soldiers would charge down from a high position, killing the cavalrymen who had lost their speed. The enemy cavalry was chopped to pieces, then they hurriedly cleaned the battlefield and returned.
As for the north, I can't see clearly. From the only exposed corner, corpses can be seen everywhere.
The slopes in the south and west were relatively large, and the cavalry could not attack directly, so Suo Tou began to dismount and climb the mountain to attack.
On the mountain road, corpses were covered all the way, which was truly spectacular.
"When..." A harsh clang sounded from the opposite side.
After hearing the order, Suo Tou dispersed with a huff and formed a formation under the distant city wall.
“There are some rules.” Jin Zheng smiled.
Liu Runzhong came over, looked at the battle situation first, and said: "Captain, there are many enemy cavalry and the terrain is relatively open. It is not good for them to attack. It is better to hold on and then contact the Wuzhou town army to attack. "
To be honest, although Jin Zheng's tactics were too brave - or reckless - it was this recklessness that prompted him to go north immediately after arriving in Mayi and visit the front line in person. Scout the enemy.
After discovering the continuous mountains and complex terrain to the north of Mayi, I felt that cavalry and mounted infantry could take the initiative to attack Shanwu directly.
What is surprising is that they encountered a large number of rope heads heading south just over a day after entering the mountain. In the battle of Zhonglingyuan, hundreds of people were beheaded and their vanguard was defeated. In today's battle of Shanwu, it seems that they were beheaded. With no more than two thousand killed, Suotou's morale was already low.
At this time, the fighter plane appeared.
If the direction of Wuzhou and Pingcheng can be united and Wang Duhu and Mrs. Dai Guotai are ordered to dispatch cavalry to the west, Dou Qin and Dou Yuzhen's father and son will be defeated, and Shan Wu cannot be saved.
There is no doubt that this fighter plane came from "reckless".
"How far is Shanwu from Wuzhou Town?" Jin Zheng asked.
“Seven or eighty miles.”
“Most of the Wuzhou soldiers are infantry, so I’m afraid they won’t be of much help.” Jin Zheng said, “Immediately send an envoy to Wuzhou and Pingcheng. Invite Mr. Wang They quickly sent out troops, dispatching at least 6,000 cavalry from the two guards and the infantry of Wuzhou Town, and marched westward to attack Dou Qin and his son. "
"Operate," the military officials accompanying the army immediately drafted an order and handed it over. by messenger.
Liu Runzhong personally ordered fifty fine cavalry to escort the messenger eastward.
"Send another military report to King Liang." Jin Zheng ordered again.
******
"Wow..." The child cried loudly.
Tuoba Shi Yijian was startled and quickly sat back down behind the desk in an orderly manner, with a gloomy expression on his face.
Ms. Wang walked over from the central hall, gently picked up the child, and while rocking it, she said, "You all have many difficulties. But I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
Assistant Prime Ministers Wang Feng, Su Zhongyi, Changsun Rui, Wei Xiong, Generals of Four Towns, Generals of Left and Right and other core senior officials of Daiguo followed in and said in unison: "Please speak up."
"It has been two years of fighting. , without the help of the great powers of China and North Korea, would it be possible to survive till now?" Wang asked.
After Li Zhen was hugged by his mother, he slapped his mouth and miraculously became quiet.
Everyone was speechless.
“Since the beginning of spring, many people have eaten food, including millet and wheat sent from the Central Plains, instead of cheese.” Wang said: “General Jin rushed forward in a mad rush, killing the most evil and unstoppable city, and he was brave and decisive. It's shocking. I am a woman who has no experience in military affairs. I must not let go of this opportunity. I have been fighting on the battlefield for many years, so I must know it better than I do."
"Put away all your little thoughts." At this point, Wang's eyes were full of evil, and her tone became stern: "The King of Liang has led an army of 200,000 and is coming like a wave. It will arrive in a moment, but you are waiting for it." What’s the point of pushing back and forth, if you don’t care about your clan members?”
Everyone was shocked. Even Wang Feng took a serious look at this sister for the first time. How did she change so quickly?
Liu Lugu hesitated to speak.
Wang looked at him and said, "General Liu thinks that the horses are thin and the food is scarce, and the soldiers are complaining a lot and are unwilling to go on an expedition?"
Liu Lugu sighed and said: "It's a clear lesson."
"In that case, I will go with the general to the camp to have a look. If the soldiers are in trouble, they can go to the palace after serving the utensils. Move out of Guizhi and give the reward." Wang said without giving up: "Maybe the Hedouling tribe is strong in battle. I can go to Shanwu with all the troops and die together. What are I afraid of?"
Liu Lugu suddenly raised his head, and after looking at Wang for a moment, he actually looked away. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Shi Yijian, who was sitting neatly behind the desk, and sighed secretly.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Wang ordered them to disperse, step up preparations for food and grass, and assemble soldiers.
Before leaving, she asked Assistant Prime Minister Wang Feng, Chang Sunrui, Zhendong General Liu Lugu, and Zhennan General Pu Gulu to stay.
Several people looked at each other, confused.
"Helan Aitou broke into Mayi." Wang said.
Everyone was surprised at first, and then thoughtful.
Wang didn’t wait for them to come up with any outrageous ideas, and immediately said: "General Pu Gu can quickly go south to Xinping and gather strong men to intercept them."
Pu Gulu was stunned and very surprised. He quickly responded with a yes.
Wang paused for a while and said leisurely: "In the past, the Qi family's mother and son committed regicide and the Hedouling tribe advocated righteousness. Dou Qin and Dou Yuzhen, father and son, are not hopeless traitors. If they can be persuaded to surrender, the country will be better." "Zhong Yi can retain a little more energy."
At this point, she glanced. After looking at the expressions of a few people, he said: "Although Kim Zheng is extremely brave, he is also extremely cruel. If he kills him, the vitality of He Douling and other generals will be severely damaged. Many of my own people have died, what will happen in the future - "< br>
Liu Lugu looked surprised and suspicious, and then slowly became a little surprised.
"How to survive..." Wang said softly.
Liu Lugu and Changsun Rui looked at each other, and then glanced at Shi Yiqian without leaving any trace.
"Send troops." Wang said: "The four guards of the pro-army army will send out two guards, and then gather more than 30,000 men to march westward from Wu Zhouchuan."
"Follow your orders." Liu Lugu and Changsun Ruiqi They all responded, their voices seemed a little louder and more sincere than before.
******
When Shao Xun received the news, he had already passed Shiling and entered the emerging realm.
He immediately asked someone to bring a map and started checking it directly on the roadside.
The staff also gathered around, speaking to each other and analyzing the situation thoroughly in an instant.
The information they have is more comprehensive than that of Jin Zheng, who is in the game, because Mrs. Pingcheng Wang also sent a messenger to deliver a letter.
Generally speaking, Jin Zheng did not wait for the army to gather, he threw away the slower-moving Silver Spear Right Camp, quickly arrived at Mayi, and after some reconnaissance, decisively launched an attack.
He recruited 5,000 men in Mayi, nearly 20,000 soldiers from Feilong Guards and his tribe, plus 6,000 cavalry from the middle section of Liu Run, and went north along the narrow mountain road to attack Shanwu. .
Just in time, Helan Aitou arrived at Shanwu, and his troops were divided into three groups.
The first route: He led 15,000 horsemen against the Tuwen River and invaded the territory of Mayi.
The second route: Dou Qin and Dou Yuzhen, father and son, led eight thousand cavalry and collided head-on with Jin Zheng, and the forward was defeated. However, the terrain in the mountains was broken and extremely rugged, which was not conducive to cavalry fighting, so they retreated for dozens of miles, and there was no city in Zhishan.
This is their usual style of play. If nothing unexpected happens, Dou Qin and his son may have sent a small group of light cavalry to the rear in an attempt to attack Jin Zheng's heavy troops, while the main army is outside Shanwu City. The more than 2,000 cavalrymen who suddenly came to attack the siege turned out to be unable to eat.
Third route: It is said that there are 7,000 riders. There is no news yet, but I don’t know where they are.
Our forces are mainly composed of the Silver Spear Right Battalion that has arrived near Yanmen Pass, and the 3,000 Zuo Xiao Cavalry Guards who have just entered the boundaries of Yanmen County - the 3,000 troops of this guard are still on their way and are in the emerging, Yanmen County. between doors.
In the direction of Yin Pavilion, there are 600 left flying dragon guards and 600 Buqu, plus hundreds of Liu Run, old and weak soldiers in the middle. The former guards the city and looks after the grain and grass, and the latter is responsible for grazing.
Conscripts from all over Bingzhou were recruited to travel between Mayi, Yinguan and Yanmen Pass, constantly transferring grain, grass and military supplies.
Finally, Mrs. Wang made a decisive decision and led more than 36,000 cavalry to the west. With the cooperation of Shanyu Supervisor Wang Queer, she tried to join forces with Wuzhou Zhenjun and attack Dou Qin and his son from east to west - —Perhaps there is still a desire to appease.
In this battle, we and the enemy are at odds with each other.
Kim Zheng's recklessness actually showed a fighting chance, which was better than sitting in Mayi and waiting conservatively for the three armies of Suotou to besieged.
Shao Xun thought for a long time and felt that things might not be so simple.
Does Helan Aitou have a reserve team? Where?
If Jin Zheng is attacked from behind, can he withstand it? If you can't withstand it, you can only rely on the direction of Pingcheng and Wuzhou and retreat eastward in a hurry.
More importantly, how does Kim Jong want to fight? Will he continue his dash?
This student! Shao Xun smiled.
The students he taught were more or less like teachers.
For example, Wang Queer is very stable, has strong field control ability, and is thoughtful.
Hou Feihu is thoughtful and thoughtful, not as stable as Wang Queer, but he thinks more and more carefully than Wang Queer. He likes to fight clever battles, but overall he also follows the principle of "become invincible for yourself first, then be the enemy." The principle of the art of war is that "it is possible to win".
Kim Zheng likes to magnify his own risks to seize bigger opportunities. Sometimes it seems like a gamble.
This style of play reminded Shao Xun of a person who had not yet appeared at this time, a famous general who had gone home to farm, but was forced to rebel by Li Yuansao: Liu Heitai.
This man was also a gambler, and he beat Li Tang's famous general all the way. In the end, because the situation was no longer good, his foundation was too weak, and he was attacked from both sides, and he was defeated after a long stalemate with Li Shimin.
If Jin Zheng can reach the level of Liu Heita, he will laugh out of his dreams.
After thinking about it, Shao Xun stood up suddenly. After noticing the gazes of his staff, he smiled and said: "Since you have entrusted the power to the enemy, how can you not believe it? Send the order, Shao Shen ordered the left Xiao cavalry guard and Yin Qiang right camp to come out quickly. Yanmen Pass blocked Jin Zheng's retreat and looked for opportunities to annihilate the enemy. The two counties of Mayi and Yunzhong of the Dai State should recruit young herdsmen and surround them everywhere, trying to keep Helan Aitou."
"Then send an order to the whole army to march day and night to rest at Yanmen. "
"Yes," the generals accompanying the army responded in unison.
Orders were quickly issued to all ministries.
Soon, the various troops running in the wilderness accelerated their march.
The cavalry were temporarily allowed to ride on horseback.
The infantry can carry five days of dry food with them and move forward quickly without the heavy baggage.
The generals from various towns in Hebei Province who were still on their way slowly also received orders from messengers one after another, and the whole battlefield was boiling.
