Chapter 508: The rebels are in a hurry to plunder

Li Heng's methods also surprised Qin Jin, who was recuperating, who originally thought he was a gentle person, but he didn't expect that he would have such a fierce side. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info In the end, they were all forced to this path by the cruel reality. People in the world think that the Son of Heaven is rich from all over the world, and he is subdued and admired in all directions, but Li Heng has been a frightened prince for more than ten years, and now he has finally survived, and he has been left with a mess that is even more difficult to clean up.

"There is an army to report, Sun Xiaozhe has occupied more than eighty percent of the counties in Guanzhong, and Feng Yi County has also occupied most of it, fortunately, Chengcheng and Baishui can still hold on!"

Before the sky was bright, Guo Ziyi hurried to Qin Jin's handsome hall, they were originally going to discuss the action strategy for the next seven days today, and they didn't want to read the military report first.

The military newspapers, which had been delayed outside the city for a day, should have arrived one after the other, but now they all arrived together.

"Unexpectedly, after the rebels divide their troops, it will be more difficult to get in and out!"

It was Qingxuzi who had not shown up for many days, this old Taoist was not the core figure of the Shenwu Army, and he was not qualified to participate in this kind of decision-making level military meeting, but today he was going to talk about firearms, and Qingxuzi was half a gunpowder expert, so he was allowed to attend.

"The real person doesn't know, because of the division of troops, the rebels' patrols are more frequent, which is a manifestation of lack of confidence!"

Guo Ziyi explained with a smile, but Qingxuzi gave him a blank look.

"Since the traitor is so unconfident, why doesn't General Guo lead people out and come back after killing him?"

"The rebels are more vigilant than ever, and if they send troops at this time, our army will definitely be caught in a net!"

Qing Xuzi seemed to enjoy the fun of grabbing white with Guo Ziyi, and teased:

"Poor Dao has long heard that General Guo is talented, strategic, and brave, but when I see it today, it is difficult to live up to his reputation, and he only knows that he will grow the enemy's majesty and destroy his own morale!"

"The real person is exaggerated, although Guo is not talented, but what he said is also the truth, if he insists on sending troops, it must be me who is damaged!"

In fact, Guo Ziyi's rhetoric, many judgments are extremely simple, ordinary people only need a little analysis to understand that Qing Xuzi is not a stupid person, naturally he has long thought about it, but he feels that he is upright in everything and is not true enough temperament, so he makes fun of ridicule and sarcasm.

However, no matter how Guo Ziyi provoked Qingxuzi, he was just a serious appearance, and he took the trouble to explain everything.

In the end, he made Qingxuzi lose his temper.

"Oh! Where did the Imperial Doctor find this person, he is really an unborn talent, and he is willing to bow to the wind!"

He naturally teased him when he said this, but he also had another evaluation of Guo Ziyi in his heart, if he allowed himself to cooperate with him, he would be suffocated to death in less than half a month. Although this guy has some talents, he is really boring, as if anything can be digested in his stomach, and then he only puts on a pampered and unfazed appearance, who knows what thoughts are turning in his stomach all the time.

"Okay, time is pressing, don't talk about it, Feng Yijun's sacrifice must have been heard of by some of you!"

Although most of the population and materials were evacuated, the people were eventually displaced, and more than a dozen large cities with a hundred years of savings were destroyed, and what was more serious than the loss of people and materials was the blow to the morale of the army. After all, Feng Yijun is the birthplace of the Shenwu Army, and it is really a bit risky for Qin Jin to break his wrist as a strong man.

In case the plan fails, Feng Yijun will no longer have room to turn back.

Compared to the calm surface, Qin Jin was also nervous in his heart, since he made the decision, the key factor that affected the outcome of the battle was no longer with him.

Du Fu's execution of the strong wall and Qingye, whether Yang Xingben could hold the line of Baishui and Chengcheng, and whether Lu Qi and Pei Jing could attack Tongguan before Sun Xiaozhe's rebels returned to help...... These are the key factors that can make or break the game.

"I'm going to set up a separate battalion to specialize in firearms, so that I can also concentrate on a large number of soldiers who can be proficient in the use of firearms!"

"Put a lot of manpower on firearms, and the reserve army to defend the city will be reduced accordingly, in case the rebels attack the city on a large scale and there is a situation of insufficient manpower, the situation will be critical!"

Guo Ziyi actually objected to Qin Jin's decision to set firearms into a battalion of their own, in fact, it is not difficult to understand, the current firearms are very rough, and most of them are variants of thunderbolt guns, the use of this kind of firearms is restricted by the terrain and timing, and there are many inconvenient conditions for actual operation.

To put it bluntly, the input and output are not proportional, and a lot of manpower and energy training is thrown, but there are few occasions that can be used in the end.

In fact, this is also a kind of paranoia of Qin Jin as a traverser, preconceived that since firearms are the mainstream of weapons for future development, the sooner they pay attention to it, the sooner they will be developed. As everyone knows, this idea is seriously out of touch with reality, and when muskets and corresponding tactics do not appear, the main role of this thing is only to undermine morale. What can really kill and injure enemy soldiers has to be the result of the soldiers' swords and shots.

Qin Jin pondered for a while, feeling that Guo Ziyi's words made some sense, and also thought that his ideas were a little too advanced, and at this urgent moment of war, instead of focusing on firearms full of unknown factors, it was better to train a group of elites who were forbidden by order in the old methods of the Shenwu Army.

After making up his mind, Qin Jin decided to put aside the idea of firearms for the time being, and when the war was settled, he would have a lot of time to tinker with these things.

"Okay, the matter of firearms is put on hold for the time being, and from tomorrow, night attacks will resume!"

Seeing that Qin Jin was easily persuaded by Guo Ziyi, Qing Xuzi suddenly felt unhappy, his status in the Shenwu Army was transcendent, all because Qin Jin attached importance to firearms, and now he should have had the opportunity to show his strength, but he was said by this guy with a light and clever word, how could he be willing! But after brewing for a long time, he could only stare at Guo Ziyi fiercely, and he didn't dare to mess around at this time.

Qing Xuzi knew Qin Jin's temper, he planned to pretend to be a ghost in order to fool Qin Jin, and the incident of almost being cut off is still fresh in his memory, so he never dared to mess around in major matters.

……

In Fufeng County, a team of cavalry took advantage of the night to fly on the official road.

"General, seeing that the sky is about to dawn, if you don't go back, you may leak your whereabouts!"

"It doesn't matter, the main force of the rebels has already driven to the border of Longyou, even if it is discovered, it is a small group of people, and we have a lot of soldiers, so it is more than enough to deal with them. ”

One hundred and ten horsemen climbed over the hillside, and stopped their horses, looking at the winding road in the distance, only to see a convoy winding along the road to the east.

"It's the rebel food convoy!

"General Fugu, I'm afraid we won't be able to go to Lingwu!"

Fugu Huaien's eyelids jumped twice, and if he didn't go to Lingwu, he would naturally stay in the hinterland of Guanzhong Sanfu, and he would face the danger of being surrounded and annihilated by the rebels at any time.

"The deputy marshal has other plans?"

Li Siye pointed to the grain convoy at the beginning of the rising sun.

"The rebels searched for food everywhere and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to transport it to Chang'an, which shows that the rebels besieging Chang'an have insufficient reserves and have to loot the counties in Guanzhong to replenish it!"

In this regard, Fugu Huaien also has a different view.

"Even if you loot food, it doesn't necessarily mean that there is a shortage of food, and it is common to make emergency reserves!"

Li Siye said:

"The food supply of the 200,000 rebels in Guanzhong depends on Hanjiacang, and Luoyang is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, so it is inevitable that there will be problems with the grain road...... Seeing that the deep winter is approaching, and the rebels are looting supplies and food with such fanfare, doesn't General Fugu think it's too strange?"

Fugu Huai'en said:

"The rebels are ferocious, burning and looting everywhere they go, what's so strange!"

"No! I heard that after An Lushan arrived in Luoyang, he changed his habit of burning, killing and looting, and changed to run the local area to win over the clan. Especially after the founding of the People's Republic of China, I want to fight against my Tang Dynasty, and burn and rob the rich Guanzhong like this, isn't it self-destruction of the foundation?"

Fugu Huaien finally stopped refuting, and after thinking for a while, he asked rhetorically:

"Where does the deputy marshal think our army must go?"

Li Siye's expression was grim and said:

"Don't go anywhere, just in the land of Sanfu, rob the rebel convoy and cut off its food route!"

Hearing this, Fugu Huaien high-fived and said:

"As the deputy marshal said, don't go to Lingwu, stay and disturb his mother's grain road!"

As he spoke, he smiled calmly: "The convoy under the mountain will be handed over to the last general!"

Li Siye agreed, and Fugu Huaien rushed down with dozens of cavalry.

The convoy was accompanied by hundreds of foot soldiers, and when they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, they immediately drew their swords and bent their bows, ready to fight. But after they reacted, a round of arrow rain suddenly fell, and immediately more than a dozen people fell to the ground after arrows, and then the arrow rain came round after round, until these hundreds of foot soldiers fell into hell.

The rain of arrows stopped for a while, and the iron hooves of the war horse had already approached, and the saber pushed forward, and immediately the flesh and blood flew sideways. In the past, Fugu Huaien rarely used cavalry to attack the infantry formation, but now the situation is urgent, and the other side is some infantry soldiers with average combat effectiveness, so they can only fight to rush in with the possibility of death and injury.

The result was surprisingly smooth, these hundreds of foot soldiers were unable to resist, and many of them even dropped their weapons and fled crying for their lives.

A single shock caused hundreds of rebel soldiers to fall apart. Fugu Huaien disdainfully spat out the thick phlegm stuck in his throat. The rebels obviously despised Guanzhong's ** too much, and even sent some worthless fools to escort the grain.

"Kill them all!

Fugu Huaien coldly ordered, and after the war horse passed through the formation, he turned, accelerated, and waved the saber again!

"Spare your life, spare your life......"

Seeing this, many people could not escape, and they knelt down and begged for mercy.

"We were originally solidarity soldiers in Puzhou, and we were forced to follow the traitors, don't kill ......"

The iron hooves ran over, and the flesh flew into a piece of flesh and blood!
