Chapter 68: Driving the Rats (1)
Out of Mu Tianxiang's bad taste, the code name of this sortie operation was "Driving the Mouse", and I don't know what Zhao Meng felt when he knew it.
What Zhao Meng thinks, what he thinks, these are not important, the atmosphere in the headquarters is still relaxed as a whole, everyone feels that although Zhao Meng and a few senior monks may be more troublesome, but there are also relative countermeasures, and they can't make any big waves if they think about it, and they can't affect the entire battle situation.
In terms of the soldier's individual ability or teamwork, most of the people in the command did not think that the 100,000 rout would have much impact on the attacking troops, and if they couldn't even defeat this, it would be better to disband it as soon as possible, Hao Jun said.
In terms of troops. Although it was 20,000 to 100,000, the expressions of the soldiers who went out were not solemn, and no one would think that there would be any accidents in this operation, and that they would fail.
Although Mu Tianxiang also thought that winning was not a problem, this idea of underestimating the enemy still attracted Mu Tianxiang's attention and attention.
"Commander Li Muran, although we have to show contempt for the enemy in this sortie this time, we have to despise the enemy. But tactically speaking, we must not underestimate the enemy," Mu Tianxiang said: "War is not just talk on paper, a simple comparison of strength will achieve victory, there will be many accidents or uncontrollable factors, which will affect the entire battle situation." ”
"Mr. Mu is relieved. In response to the possible response of the enemy, the General Staff has already made a relative response plan. Moreover, in mountainous operations, a large force cannot be unfolded, and the gap in numbers can be made up by flexible and changeable tactics. But tactical literacy is not something that can be easily compensated, and the enemy is much worse than us in this point, and this is our advantage. I am hopeful of victory in this battle. Li Muran said.
"Victory is one thing, the most important thing is to achieve the purpose of the campaign, which is important for our future development, and I don't want the casualties of the soldiers to be too high and need to be managed. Don't impose a rule when the time comes. Don't be in a hurry......" Mu Tianxiang admonished.
......
Mu Tianxiang has nothing to say, now that his morale is high, he has said too much, and he is afraid that it will affect his morale, or make the generals leading the army in front of him timid, then the gains outweigh the losses.
Worshipping the general, Mu Tianxiang looked at the neat queue of the distant army, and his vigorous posture was also full of pride.
Weihu Mountain, Zhao Meng's garrison camp.
"General Zhao, according to the Malay report, an army is coming towards our station, and it looks like it may attack us. General Li Ran said.
"Can you find out which unit it is?" Zhao Meng put down the wine glass in his hand and asked. As Zhao Meng, who is good at military affairs and has been in battle for a long time, he still does a good job of monitoring the surrounding forces. As soon as Li Muran sent troops, he got information here
"It should be Mu Tianxiang's army stationed in the valley. Li Ran said.
"Mu Tianxiang, why does it sound so familiar. Zhao Meng thought for a moment and said.
"Mu Tianxiang turned out to be the general of an army in Shangguan City. Li Ran said.
"Oh, I think about it, I heard that he is very good at training, and the former Shangguan Haoran is also very important, but I heard that cultivation is also a scumbag. Zhao Meng said.
"How many people are in the army?" asked Zhao Meng
"According to the Malay newspaper, there are about 20,000 people. Li Ran said.
"What, 20,000 people want to attack us," Zhao Meng said in surprise: "It seems that if you don't teach him a lesson, he won't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick." ”
"The general must not be careless, Mu Tianxiang's leadership is still remarkable, in the former Sun Moon Gorge Blockade Battle, Mu Tianxiang blocked the 500,000 army of the Bloodthirsty Gate with a new army of less than 60,000 people," Li Ran reminded.
"I know that Mu Tianxiang also took advantage of the geographical advantage that time, and in the end, he also relied on the inexplicable beast tide to persevere. It can be said that it is a fluke. This time he came to attack us, the location is on our side, what do I think he will do?" Zhao Meng waved his hand and said indifferently.
"You said, we were originally safe, how could Mu Tianxiang suddenly attack us?" Zhao Meng asked.
"I guess it's probably because of Shangguan City's treasures. Li Ran thought for a while and said, "I guess Mu Tianxiang also wants to intervene, we happen to be stuck in the direction of their troops, and Mu Tianxiang probably wants to open a channel." ”
"General Zhao, how could the news of the buried treasure in Shangguan City suddenly spread, is there any conspiracy here?
"It should be true, after all, there is no wind, Shangguan City has also been built for hundreds of years, and the amount of wealth accumulated in such a long period of time can be imagined. Zhao Meng said: "The Bloodthirsty Gate also turned Shangguan City upside down, but in the end it was not found, and this time it was discovered by chance, and the news spread." ”
"The person who discovered the treasure, after investigation, was just an ordinary mercenary team who found it by chance. There should be no problem. Zhao Meng said: "And there are not many treasures here, people estimate that Shangguan City is burying treasures in different places, but the general area should be near Shangguan City." After all, it's too far away and it's not convenient. Now the vicinity of Shangguan City is lively......"
"Then we ......"
"Such a God-given opportunity, we can't afford to miss it. Zhao Meng said: "You are also my confidant, some things are not hidden from you, one of my brothers now occupies Wancheng, not far from Shangguan City, and also wants to intervene, but his strength is not sure to eat this pouring wealth, so he invited me to share the grand event." ”
"Mu Tianxiang's army is preparing to attack us, so we can't be unguarded? Li Ran said.
"Let the second child lead his headquarters with 50,000 men to stop it. Zhao Meng said: "The second child is very ambitious, and he is not very loyal to me, so take this opportunity to consume it." ”
"General Zhao Yu doesn't have many elite people, but I'm afraid that he may not be able to stop it. Li Ran thought for a while and said.
"Mu Tianxiang is careless after all, he only sent 20,000 people to eat us, I think he is whimsical. Zhao Meng said: "And the second child still occupies a favorable terrain, just defensive, and does not attack, so it is not a big problem." ”
"And even if it fails, it's nothing, it can just consume the strength of the second child, as long as the second child drags Mu Tianxiang to ensure the smooth transfer of our main force. At that time, it is okay to give this broken mountain to Mu Tianxiang. Zhao Meng said proudly.
"People in the world, bustling are all for profit. The treasure of Shangguan City is our opportunity, seize the opportunity, this world can also be fought for, let Mu Tianxiang be proud for a while. Zhao Meng said proudly: "There are many people who know the news of the treasure of Shangguan City, we also have to hurry up, you hurry up and prepare, don't miss the opportunity, here will be handed over to the second child." It doesn't matter to us whether we win or lose. ”
"The general is wise. Li Ran saw that Zhao Meng had made up his mind, and he didn't say anything more.
Hoghead Mountain. After two days of marching, Li Muran's army finally arrived at the location of the attack.
"The area in front is controlled by Zhao Meng, what else does General Shangguan have about this operation?" asked Li Muran.
"I'll leave the matter of arranging the troops to you, you have more skills than me in this regard, and my main task is to deal with those few prefecture-level monks, so as not to cause you trouble. Shangguan Wushu said with a smile.
"General Shangguan is polite. Li Muran said: "This time our main purpose is to defeat and expel Zhao Meng's army, it doesn't matter how many kills and wounds there are. ”
"Moreover, I just received news from General Ma Tiefeng, and it seems that there is a deep estrangement between Zhao Meng and his brother Zhao Yu. This time, the army that stood in front of us, looking at the banner is also Zhao Yu's banner, and did not see Zhao Meng's handsome banner, it seems that General Ma's news is accurate, and we will attack it separately, this is our opportunity. Li Muran said.
"What are you going to do?" Shangguan Wushu asked.
"The enemy wants us to attack hill by hill, so that it will hold us back, and our casualties in the assault will not be small. Li Muran said: "I am ready to take 10,000 people as a battalion, divide them into pieces, attack separately, and leave 10,000 Chinese troops as a reserve to respond at any time." ”
"In this way, our forces are dispersed, and the risk increases, isn't it?" Shangguan Wushu asked.
"The enemy's defense is also very lax, and each hill and pass has been defended by arranging people, and if you want to cover everything, it is actually better to abandon some unimportant mountains and concentrate on defense. The forces were scattered, and there were only one or two thousand people in each place, and one battalion was enough to deal with it. Li Muran pointed to the map and said.
"Moreover, we are not trying to attack, but only to harass, so that the enemy will be noisy, and every defensive place will call for help, so that the enemy will not be able to figure out the direction of our main attack. ”
"In the end, we concentrated our forces and broke through a little, and the enemy was dispersed, after all, it was a group of routs, and we could fight a dozen battles with the wind, but once the situation was unfavorable, there was absolutely no determination to defend to the death. Li Muran said.
"Moreover, I estimate that Zhao Meng is going to run, but the current news is not enough to be sure, wait for us to start the attack, and then see. Once Zhao Meng started running, Zhao Yu would never defend Zhao Meng. Li Muran smiled: "We can follow the pursuit and drive the rebel army to the place we want them to go." ”
"Order! The Ma Tam Division will attack separately with the battalion as a unit, and Li Pei's division will not move. Li Muran ordered loudly.
......
"Battalion commander, there are only about 1,000 enemy troops in front, and the terrain is not dangerous, so our company can capture it. Company commander Zhang Jun said.
"You are a war maniac and a reckless man, and the regiment commander specially told us before setting off that we are harassing, and we don't want us to really break through the enemy's position, just create momentum. Zhang Fenghao, the battalion commander lying on the ground, spit out the grass roots in his mouth and said.
"Why?" Zhang Jun asked.
"How do I know, if I had understood, I would have been a regiment commander, or even a brigade commander. Zhang Fenghao said.
"When I go back, I'll tell the regiment commander that you have a lot of ambitions, so you have to guard against ......"
"Go, go...... What do I have to do with the head of the regiment, you kid......"
......
Although Zhang Fenghao's battalion only had about 300 people, Zhang Fenghao, who had participated in the battle of Sun Moon Gorge, really didn't take the more than 1,000 enemy troops in front of him seriously.
Seeing that the enemy's defensive formation was very lax and the fortifications were not done, Zhang Fenghao felt that one battalion could defeat the enemy in front of him with a single charge. I don't know what the people above think, it's called to be collected and beaten.
"Do you want to surround some reinforcements, but it doesn't look like it. Zhang Fenghao muttered.
"Herald!"
"Here!"
"Call the second company commander, hurry up, and make the noise in the woods bigger. Mother-in-law and mother-in-law are like a. Zhang Fenghao scolded.
"Zhang Jun, the first and second companies have attracted the attention of the enemy. You lead your company to give him a hard blow from the east. Pay attention to proportion, don't cause me too many casualties, otherwise you will be asked. ”
"Yes, battalion commander, you can rest assured that the task will be completed. Zhang Jun took the order and left.
......
Li Muran's army fully rolled out the sortie, more flowers, the defending enemy army was noisy, and I don't know how many people came, and hurriedly asked for help from the rear. made Zhao Yu confused and confused. I don't know how.
