Chapter 262: Embarrassment
In the battle of the canyon, Chen Fan's 5,000 soldiers and horses are still more than 4,000 people left.
In the end, the body of a cultivator was much stronger than that of mortals, and the battle was so fierce at that time, and the battlefield was full of flesh and blood.
But after the truce, those soldiers who were seriously injured or even severed in the battle quickly recovered with the help of the energy in their bodies and grew severed limbs.
Of the five thousand, only a few hundred actually died in battle.
Chen Fan ordered the troops to be stationed and recuperate, and before the arrival of the Chinese army, his task as a front army was to continue the march to the hinterland.
Control a certain area for the garrison of large armies.
With an army of 15,000 men, the space needed is not small.
But Yang Bin is not an ordinary person, he knows that Chen Fan's intention is to enter the hinterland of the mountains.
Therefore, Duan Min and Guo Long had already been ordered to lead a thousand troops each and set up camp not far from Chen Fan's military camp.
Duan Min and Guo Long's 2,000 men and horses were like two brackets that withstood Chen Fan's army, making it difficult for Chen Fan to complete his strategic goal for a while.
Pang Fei has many soldiers, and there are few 100,000 mountain people, so Yang Bin has to use every strength on the blade.
Yuan Xinlan estimated that he had already fought with Pang Fei, and now what Yang Bin had to do was to harass Chen Fan's progress.
"Yang Bin, this old fox, is really disgusting. Chen Fan sat in the camp, clenched his fist with one hand, and gently smashed it on the table in front of him.
He looked ahead, and through the curtain was where Guo Long and Duan Min's troops were.
"Harassing me with 2,000 men, I really thought I could succeed. Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and said.
If the top masters of the two sides are compared, then only the former army himself can't deal with Guo Long and Duan Min at the same time.
But he has 4,000 soldiers and horses, not to mention Guo Long and Duan Min, even if Yuan Xinlan comes, he can only walk around without eating.
The numerical advantage has reached a certain level, and no matter how high the personal cultivation is, it is nothing.
It's just that what makes Chen Fan a headache is that if he wants to open up the control area, then he will inevitably divide his troops and rule.
But at the moment, he only has more than 4,000 people in his hands, and it is already the limit to divide 2,000 people to occupy another place.
If they were dispersed, even if Guo Long and Duan Min combined were only 2,000 people, they would be very dangerous enemies.
And these two people are not mainly offensive and defensive, but harassment as their task.
It's not easy to deal with them yourself.
"If I knew it, I would have advised the general not to set up a rear army, just let me bring them all over. ”
Chen Fan complained in his heart, but he could only complain like this.
On the top of the mountain, Yang Bin and Chu Ke sat opposite each other.
There is a stone between the two of them, and on the stone is a chessboard, and on the side of the chessboard is a tea set for two people.
Chu Ke held the black, Yang Bin held the white, and the two were silent, weighing the gains and losses step by step.
Chu Ke pinched a sunspot, his hand stopped in mid-air for a long time and did not fall, and his eyes flashed with thousands of thoughts.
After a while, Chu Ke shook his head and reluctantly put the sunspot back into the chess box.
"Alas......" Chu Ke let out a long sigh and said, "Sure enough, I still thought too shallowly, and let my seniors win." ”
"Hahaha. Yang Bin picked up the tea on the side, drank it all, and smiled at Chu Ke.
"Chu Ke, your chess moves seem to be soft but not soft, and you seem to be rigid but not rigid, and you still walk a punch word in general. But you can often only think of one or two, and you don't know what to expect. ”
"Yes, I thought I was thinking a lot, but I didn't expect it to fall into the plan of Yang Bin's predecessors. Chu Ke smiled bitterly.
"When I found out, I couldn't get out of the encirclement. ”
On the chessboard just now, Chu Ke's sunspot was spared several times by Yang Bin's white words, and no intention was found.
By the time Chu Ke reacted, it was already too late, and it was difficult to hold on alone.
It is said that black and white contain all kinds of life, and in the few games of chess just now, Chu Ke saw not only Yang Bin's superb chess skills.
Chu Ke even saw the changes in the Tianji Sect back then, as well as his own journey over the years.
Thinking about it, if I could have thought a few more steps back then, would I still encounter today's situation?
That's it, the past is in the past, there's no need to think about it anymore.
Now that there is a way to leave the Three Realms, it is true to grasp the present.
Thinking of this, Chu Ke and Yang Bin cleaned up the chess game together and prepared to play again.
However, at this time, the cultivators who had rushed back to deliver the letter had arrived.
"I've seen the second master. The man said respectfully.
"What's going on over there in Yushan?" Yang Bin raised and put back his hand holding the chess piece, looked up at this cultivator and asked.
"Already on the battlefield. The cultivator said.
Yang Bin put down the chess pieces in his hand and stood up from the stone, and Chu Ke also stood up.
"Let's go, we can fight in front of the canyon. Yang Bin patted the dust on his body and walked leisurely towards the bottom of the mountain.
With each step, the person advanced a distance of more than ten feet.
Chu Ke followed, and it didn't take long for the two of them to walk from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.
When he arrived at the bottom of the mountain, Yang Bin took Chu Ke to Guo Long's camp first.
Guo Long and Duan Min each led a thousand men and horses, and camped on the left and right sides facing Chen Fan's army, like two horns against Chen Fan's heart.
Let Chen Fan send troops to throw a mouse bogey, and he will be anxious and uneasy if he does not send troops.
"Two masters. ”
As soon as they entered the main tent, Yang Bin and Chu Ke saw that Guo Long had gathered a group of leaders and was deliberating.
As soon as Guo Long and the others saw Yang Bin coming, they all stood up from their positions and saluted Yang Bin.
"No need to be polite. Yang Bin waved his hand slightly, motioning for them to put their hands down.
I found a random vacant spot and sat down like this.
Then he turned his head to Guo Long and asked, "How is it, Chen Fan is still honest, right?"
"Back to the second master, Chen Fan, the old boy is now holding more than 4,000 people in his hands, and he doesn't dare to move in the face of me and Duan Min. Guo Long smiled slightly.
Now Chen Fan has a total of only 4,000 people, and if he wants to rely on this to open up a situation in front of Guo Long and Duan Min's army of 2,000, I am afraid that it is simply impossible.
"Two thousand against four thousand, even if you can't hold on and let him attack, he Chen Fan can't make any waves. ”
Pang Fei's rapid march made Chen Fan's current situation very embarrassing.
Occupying this place in Taniguchi is really a piece of chicken ribs, and it is a pity to abandon it if it is tasteless.
"It's good, but don't be careless. Yang Bin smiled.
Chen Fan is also the number one general under Pang Fei, although Pang Fei's rapid marching order made him embarrassed, but maybe he will do something amazing. ”
"What the second master said is that I have passed down the order, the whole battalion has entered a state of alert, and the scouts are also staring at Chen Fan's every move. Guo Long said.
"As soon as there's a stir, we hear the news. ”
In the Chen Fan military camp in front of the canyon, Chen Fan sat alone in the main tent of the main general.
He leaned on the table with one hand on his forehead, his brows furrowed almost together.
There was a piece of yellow paper on the table, and the yellow paper was drawn on the topography of this part of the canyon, and the red dots on the yellow paper at the canyon were his soldiers and horses.
And on the left and right sides of this red dot, there are two black dots, and these two black dots are Guo Long and Duan Min's two soldiers and horses.
Guo Long and Duan Min's two thousand men and horses were like two walls in an extremely narrow alley, standing in front of them.
I wanted to get through this alley and had to hit these two walls.
Even if I could get through, the clothes I was wearing would be worn out.
When I got to the other end of the alley, I was afraid that my clothes were also in tatters.
If you want to go to the other side of the alley without wearing out your clothes, you have to tear down these two walls.
But I want to tear down the wall with the things I have on hand, and I'm afraid that I have more than enough energy to do it.
"Alas......" Thinking of this, Chen Fan couldn't help but close his eyes and sighed heavily.
General Pang Fei's military order was a death order, even if he knew that he would face such a situation if he occupied the mouth of the canyon, he had to fight out.
Next, open up the situation for General Pang Fei and occupy the geographical advantage, how easy is it to talk about it?
Can you call yourself the number one general under General Pang Fei?
If you don't do this errand yourself, I'm afraid that General Pang Fei won't be at ease if you let others do it.
This is the general's affirmation of his ability, but it is also a difficult errand to do.
"Huang Ming, come in!" Chen Fan stared intently at the map on the table.
As soon as the curtain of the military tent was lifted, a man in armor in his forties walked in from outside.
"General. ”
As soon as the man entered the tent, he bowed to Chen Fan.
"Huang Ming, come and see, look at it, how should this corner of the 100,000 mountains be broken at the moment?"
Chen Fan closed his sour eyes and stopped looking at the map, rubbing his temples on both sides with both hands.
Huang Ming walked to the edge of the table by the way, he looked the map up and down, and looked at it for a long time without saying anything.
"How's it going, do you see something?" Chen Fan asked, but his eyes were still closed.
"General, although it is difficult to open up the situation of our army at the moment, with the help of the canyon behind us, it is difficult for the 100,000 mountains to help us. Huang Ming said in a deep voice.
"But the general is coming, where is there enough place for more than 10,000 people. Chen Fan opened his eyes, he had closed them for a while just now, and he felt less sour now.
Huang Ming was silent, and he also knew this.
If it is said that it is controlled by the 100,000 mountains, judging from Chen Fanjun's geographical advantages now, it is not a problem at all.
The problem is that the place that will be needed after the follow-up troops catch up is not enough now.
Chen Fanjun needed to quickly open up the situation and occupy enough places to make room for the troops behind.
"4,000 people, 10,000 people, it's really not a simple thing. Chen Fan sighed.
"General, please look. Huang Ming suddenly pointed to a point on the map and said.
Chen Fan's eyes followed, and he saw Huang Ming's finger pointing at Guo Longjun on the right side of the army.
"General, we gather our troops and rush directly towards this army, crush them as quickly as possible, occupy the position, and then we can create a situation favorable to our army. Huang Ming said.
The location of Guo Longjun is a checkpoint from the canyon to the plain area.
And the area near Duan Minjun is mostly a river vein.
"Crush the enemy army as quickly as possible and capture its barracks. Huang Ming said.
"I can see that, too, but even if I defeat him. An army of 4,000 men was to be attributed to at least 1,000 men. Chen Fan said with a frown.
"At that time, even if we occupy the position, in the face of Duan Min's thousand people, we will also suffer heavy casualties. Not to mention that when we attack Guo Long, Duan Min will definitely respond from the side, flanking our army left and right. ”
"So the point of this battle is a quick word. Huang Ming said.
"It's not going to get worse for us right now. As long as a gap can be opened, even if 2,000 people die, it is worth it. ”
"The Great General will be here in ten hours at most. We only need to attack two hours before the general comes. Huang Ming said.
"At that time, we can abandon our current stronghold, plunge our whole army into battle, and take Guo Long as quickly as possible. ”
"Even, we can divide the army into two ways and attack Guo Long and Duan Min at the same time, at that time, even if the battle is deadlocked, as long as the general arrives, we will have a strong new force to join the battle. ”
Chen Fan looked at this Huang Ming, and was very dissatisfied with Huang Ming's plan.
Blitzkrieg to take Guo Long, even before the follow-up army comes, attack the enemy forces on both sides at the same time.
Huang Ming's method is a time difference.
From a strategic point of view, such a tactic is the best.
The whole army of the headquarters attacked, and the camp was empty, and the enemy on both sides was also subject to their own army.
In this way, there will be enough place and time for the Great General Pang Fei to put things in order.
When Pang Fei's 10,000 troops were reorganized and put into battle, Duan Min Guo Long, who had only 2,000 people at that time, was naturally not a problem.
However, to fight this time difference, what needs to be paid is the lives of more than 4,000 soldiers under his command.
The casualties caused by such battles are often very high.
If the other party can't hold on, he can bleed heavily.
If the army of 4,000 people was divided into two places, it was very likely that the whole army would be wiped out at the same time as Pang Fei's 10,000 soldiers and horses arrived.
Although he can reverse the embarrassing situation, the price is his own vitality.
You must know that no soldier's command can be trained in a day or a night.
Five thousand people suffered a loss at the mouth of the canyon before, and one thousand died younger, and Chen Fan is still distressed.
Now that he was to throw all the remaining people out like silver tickets on a fire, he was naturally extremely unhappy in his heart.
However, if you are unhappy, you are not happy, Pang Fei's death order must indeed be completed.
As long as you can hit the enemy and make a situation, even if you are killed, you must do it.
Chen Fan stood up with a frown, and called all the captains at all levels to explain the task.
After nine hours, all the troops will be thrown into battle en masse.
The captains who heard Chen Fan's order all broke out in a cold sweat behind their backs, this was a change of place with their lives.
No one wants to die, and many people even secretly retreat in their hearts.
But at the thought of the consequences of disobeying military orders, these people shuddered uncontrollably.
There is a high chance that you will die in battle if you rush forward, but if you don't carry out the order, you will definitely die and be very miserable!
