Chapter 101: The Strategy of Dividing the Troops
When the news was placed on Wen Dao's desk, it was already noon on the second day.
"It's just lawless......"
Rao is an invisible, moody Wendao, and he also scolded for the first time. Before the early dynasty, the members of the court above the second rank gathered in the conference hall.
"Wen Xiang, how do you think about the mutiny of the army in Linlang County?"
"The army mutiny is a small matter, and Your Majesty's body is important. The old man was not worried about the mutiny, but was afraid that His Majesty would be hurt again after knowing about it. Wen Dao's face was solemn.
When several people heard Wen Xiang's words, they nodded approvingly.
"For today's plan, the news is to block the news first, and as for His Majesty to blame it in the future, it will be borne by the old man. Wen Dao said solemnly.
"The literary phase is high-minded, and Zhongchu is lucky. Liang Qian praised.
The crowd followed closely and boasted about the word.
Wen Dao waved his hand, "Or talk about the matter of Linlang County, what can you do?"
"Let me deal with it, he is close, and he can calm the incident as soon as possible. Liang Qian said.
"Well, the old man thinks it's feasible, what do you think?"
As soon as Wen Dao spoke, everyone naturally had no opinions. This matter, naturally, the fewer people who know, the better, Liang Shi is Liang Qian's son, and it is best for him to come out.
"Eh, in the autumn of troubled times, you have worked. ”
The bad news in the past few days has made Wen Dao much older. The body is getting stiffer and weaker, and the folds between the eyebrows have added a few more, and the body has become weaker and weaker.
Everyone was moved: "The text is serious. ”
......
Since the Shanzi Battalion suffered a small loss in Shanxian County, it has been much safer to fight all the way.
The Shanzi battalion is no better than the Black Flag Army, and it is very professional to attack the city all the way. The siege equipment and siege methods are too advanced, and the rebel army is too clumsy in defending the city. The gap between the two sides is too big, and along the way, Shen Xia has almost no effort.
It didn't take half a month for half of the Plains County to be recovered.
Shen Xia also began to relax slowly from the initial tension and rigor.
It seems that the attack in Shanxian was just a fluke from the enemy.
However, half a month's effort, only half of the Plains County was recovered, and the progress was still too slow, and he didn't want to waste time on these useless battlefields.
It seems that Shen Xia is destined to divide the troops, and the troops are divided into three routes, he personally commanded the Chinese army to go straight to Pingyuan City, and the other two roads detoured to wrap up, just like the original Black Flag Army.
After the division of troops, although there were only 20,000 people, the combat quality of the two sides was really not at the same level.
Along the way, there was a lot of resistance, but all of them were like scratching their boots, and there was no threat.
After clearing out a small group of rebel troops, Shen Xia said impatiently: "That's all there is to it? It seems that the Black Flag Army is really a pile of garbage." ”
Turning his head, he ordered to the general beside him: "Order, the whole army only brings ten days' rations, discards the rest of the baggage, and goes straight to the plain city, which will give them a quick victory." ”
After speaking, he jumped with a whip and was extremely chic.
The development of things is also like what Shen Xia said, rushing all the way, without encountering fierce resistance, one horse and one horse, unimpeded, and everywhere he passed, the traitors scattered and fled.
Plains City, which was supposed to take five days to arrive, took less than three days, which was really fast.
But when Shen Xia arrived in Plains City, there was only an empty city left for him, and the rebel army in the city had long since disappeared.
"Hell, where did the people go?" Shen Xia asked the general next to him.
But the general was also like Shen Xia, confused, and couldn't figure out what was going on. They marched too quickly to let the scouts out to investigate.
At this moment, a figure appeared not far away, driving a horse, looking panicked.
The man looked miserable, and as soon as he arrived in front of Shen Xia, he cried and said, "Report ...... Not good, General, General Li was attacked and trapped in Ma'er Mountain. General Li asked the small one to send a letter to the general, and the large army of the rebel army was stationed in Maershan, so that the general could quickly support. The brothers desperately escorted them, and the little ones rushed out. General, go and save General Lee. ”
General Li was one of the two ways to divide his troops with Shen Xia.
"What? The rebels are in Maershan. Shen Xia reacted and immediately turned around, "Follow me to Maershan and gallop to General Li." ”
The whole army was about to move out, and another figure came running from not far away. This person was even worse than the one just now, with an arrow in his back, and it seemed that he could not live.
"Newspaper, will ...... General, our army ......" As soon as this person saw Shen Xia, as soon as he opened his mouth to say a word, he died of anger.
It is clear that the other Route Army led by General Ma suffered the same situation.
When Shen Xia saw this scene, his face was gloomy and uncertain, he didn't expect the rebels to go against the norm, abandon the city, and go to encircle the other two roads.
However, what made Shen Xia incomprehensible was that the rebels were divided into two routes, and they could still contain their own two armies at the same time, especially when the rebels' combat effectiveness was still so weak.
It seems that the rebels are not as weak as he imagined, could it be that the rebels were all dressed up a few days ago?
"General He, you and I divide our troops into two routes, you lead 10,000 people, and quickly go to support General Ma, and I will go to Ma'er Mountain. The enemy army is divided into two routes, and it is estimated that they will only trap them, and it will be difficult to achieve a climate. Remember, make sure you drive out the rebels. ”
"Ordered. ”
As soon as General He received the order, he divided his troops with Shen Xia, and immediately led his troops to gallop towards General Ma.
The troops had just arrived in Pingyuan City, and they had not yet taken a break, and the people were sleepy and tired, so it stands to reason that the soldiers should be allowed to rest first to replenish their energy. Judging from the situation of the soldiers who asked for help, General Ma's situation is definitely not good, and the rebels should spend a lot of effort besieging General Ma.
When General He thought of this, he didn't care about the rest of the army, and he kept working all night.
Since the people asking for help did not have time to say the specific location of General Ma, he could only rush to General Ma's marching route.
And Shen Xia was obviously much calmer, and he carefully analyzed the situation of the enemy and himself.
Since the rebels can divide their troops into two routes, the strength must have been weakened, according to the combat effectiveness of the rebels, it is already very reluctant to let the army send a call for help, there is no possibility of encirclement and annihilation, it is estimated that the rebels are just surrounding General Li, if he rushes to go, the army is bound to be tired, if the rebels are waiting for work, the situation is not good.
Thinking of this, Shen Xia was not in a hurry, first set up camp, let the soldiers rest in place, and after recuperating their strength, they would trap the rebels.
......
After a whole day of marching, Shen Xia's army finally arrived at Maershan.
When Shen Xia was about to arrive at Ma'er Mountain, he sent scouts to check the situation, but found that there was no human figure in the entire Ma'er Mountain, not even a trace of a fight.
As soon as Shen Xia heard the news, he immediately jumped up from his chair, stared at him, and grabbed the scout in front of him.
"Will you tell me more details?"
"Report to the general, the small ones have carefully checked, and there is no trace of the army stationed in various places, not even large-scale personnel activities, and the surroundings are very clean, without the slightest trace of blood. ”
When he heard a more detailed report again, he had a hunch that something bad was going to happen, and he hurried to find the map and carefully examine the terrain.
Suddenly, he remembered something, and said to the people below, "Call me the man who asked for help last time." ”
After a while, a man came running from outside the tent.
"General, the man is gone. ”
Hearing this, his brain buzzed, and the whole person lay weakly on the chair.
For a long time, he closed his eyes and accepted the fact that he was being played with by the other party.
"Quick, send an order for help to Shangjing, just say that the rebels are strong and ask for reinforcements. ”
The herald below received the order, and although he was a little confused, he immediately sent someone to send the information to Shangjing.
"General, since General Li is not besieged, why are you asking for help?" asked one of the generals below.
"General Li is not surrounded, General Ma is very dangerous. Shen Xia said weakly.
"What? How is it possible, didn't General He go to the rescue of General Ma?" asked the people below in surprise.
Shen Xia looked at the people below, he was really in no mood to analyze the situation for them, a group of brainless guys.
The first person to ask for help, now it seems, should be the rebels who ordered people to pretend, although they look miserable, they are not in serious trouble.
And the second, presumably, was really attacked, and it must have been a full army of rebels.
From this point of view, General Ma's situation at that time should have been very dangerous. The rebels sent men to disturb them, so that he could divide his forces so that they could be defeated one by one. Now that I think about it, General He is estimated to be in danger.
The leader of the rebel army this time is definitely not a simple person, and ordinary people can't come up with such a plan at all.
The enemy is cunning, and his own forces have been greatly damaged, and if he continues to fight forcibly, he will definitely be in danger. For now, he could only ask for help from Shangjing, and then send someone to contact General Li, and then stationed in Maershan to send someone to investigate General Ma's situation.
"Send someone to contact General Li and ask General Li to come to Maershan to meet us and prepare for defense first. Shen Xia said.
......
Indeed, Ren Feng's purpose was to let Shen Xia divide his troops.
When Shen Xia decided to divide his troops into three ways, Ren Feng decided to break them all. But I couldn't find a way, but fortunately I had that person to help with advice.
He didn't know who that person was, he didn't know where he came from, he only knew that he was here to help him.
Under such conditions, Ren Feng had no choice but to believe him. However, with his help, Ren Feng slowly learned how to control an army of 200,000 people, and also learned to deploy spies in various places.
When the Shanzi Battalion first arrived in Pingyuan County, the sneak attack plan was proposed by this person.
Later, Shen Xia divided his troops, and Ren Feng decided to break them individually, and he also helped to come up with ideas, how to ambush, how to block reinforcements.
However, sending someone to spread false information was Ren Feng's own idea. This is thanks to the commander of the Black Flag Army, who used this trick to assassinate the mountain rat in the first place.
He has no strongmen under him, only small means to disrupt the enemy's audio-visual.
Ren Feng learned and used it lively, wrote down the banners of the other two reinforcements that the spies had detected, and then asked people to pretend to be attacked, as long as an army arrived in Pingyuan County, he immediately disguised it and asked them to send troops to rescue.
Later, Shen Xia really fell for it. And General He was anxious again, and was also ambushed on the way to the rescue.
The already exhausted reinforcements failed to stop the attack of the rebels when they were ambushed, and the army was defeated.
Although he won two battles, Ren Feng did not relax because of this, and after a little rectification, he led a large army and drove towards Shen Xia in Ma'er Mountain.
