Chapter 47: Lighting the Sky Lantern
Yun Zheng roared in the military tent and beat the tiger like thunder, this idiot actually said that he would lead a group of people to pretend to be a grain transport team to pass under Zhang Zhi's nose, in this way, Zhang Zhi will definitely rush up happily to grab the grain, and everyone will lure him to the preset position to dispose of it cleanly and thoroughly, take Zhang Zhi to light the sky lantern, if the attraction of the food is not big enough, he is ready to let Xiaoli and some slender young soldiers wear women's clothes...... According to him, this method has been tried and tested in Huanzhou.
The general who was full of military tents didn't understand why the marshal was furious, and he personally taught the tiger a lesson, at least Liang Ji and Peng Jiu thought that this method was good and feasible. Han Niu almost felt that his young master was jealous of the tiger's cleverness......
In fact, there are not many strategies available when fighting, and the tiger's method is just to start from the greed of the Tangut people, which has been used by countless famous generals since ancient times, and has been proved to be very effective.
"The reason why Zhang Zhi entered Qinzhou in a big circle and didn't want to be known was to kill everyone he could see along the way, and his main purpose was to keep the word secret.
Why did he enter Qinzhou so secretly? Everyone in the world knows that we are in the clear field of the fortified wall, and he can't grab food, even if it is to cut off the back road of Fubi and pave the way for the capture of Qin Wangchuan by not hiding the false pang.
With us as Fubi's back road, he doesn't have this chance at all, he will only be surrounded by us and broken through, this is where I figured it out, if for this purpose, there is no need to hide Pang and let his henchmen take such a big risk.
According to the tiger, 16,000 cavalrymen, each equipped with two horses, so that the army was equipped for a sneak attack, and it was a quick sneak attack, and even prepared to escape thousands of miles without a single blow. This is the kind of thing I like to do the most, so he can't hide it from me.
It doesn't make sense to say that they are here to grab food. How much food can sixteen thousand cavalrymen take? Not to mention the constant fighting, the cavalry has no speed and there is only a dead end. Our Great Song army has a way to deal with the cavalry that can't run fast.
So I think this guy doesn't seem to have good intentions, and the target is likely to be me, or Chen Cangdao's grain. It's not that I'm boasting, but I really can't think of any reason for them to take such a big risk. β
Wu Jie said thoughtfully: "Only by repairing the plank road can Chen Cang be dark, and if you don't hide Pang to attack Fubi in Qin Wangchuan, even if you are repairing the plank road, the question is what is Chen Cang?"
The last general thought that Chen Cang would not be a big handsome, but Qinzhou itself. Once Qinzhou becomes a barren land, Fengxiang Mansion and Fengzhou will also be implicated, even Jingzhao Mansion will not be stable, the fragile balance will be broken, everything will be closed, and the Great Song Dynasty will not have ten years of healing time, and it will not be able to go west at all! So, the end will think. They came for the grain in the warehouse. β
Jiang Zhe interjected: "No matter what purpose Zhang Zhi came for, as long as we kill Zhang Zhi, the plan to hide Pang will fail." 16,000 henchmen and iron horsemen were lost in Qinzhou, I don't believe that Pang would be distressed if he didn't hide it? β
Yun Zheng smiled: "How to kill Zhang Zhi?" You don't think Tiger is a good idea, do you? β
Lang Tan smiled: "There's no need to play conspiracy, the more weird we do things, Zhang Zhi will be cautious, maybe he will turn his head and run away, it is better to step forward to meet the battle, this effect may be better." β
Sun Dazhi said with a smile: "No one in this world can afford the field combat ability of the Xiang Army. β
Yun Zheng laughed, none of his old subordinates were fuel-efficient lamps, if Wu Jie was spoken. Lang Tan is the spear of attack, so Sun Dazhi is definitely a shield that does not move like a mountain.
I'm just talking about the van casually. Maybe it's because of his personality, Wu Jie. Lang Tan and they didn't care, but they didn't expect Sun Dazhi, who had always been taciturn, to take it to heart, and when he was in charge of the army, he quickly made a partial van car according to what Yun Zheng said, and later adopted the director of the family and continuously improved the partial van, and now he has more than 300 of this thing.
The partial carriage wheel is half a zhang long, one zhang wide, less than one zhang high, the carriage is used with a thin plate, a strong crossbow is placed on it, and 1 ten people are assigned to use, out of the left and right matching, the front and rear are connected to the hook and ring, the car clothes, food, equipment and antlers, the mighty and mighty like a long dragon.
There is no need to set up a village when the army is tun, as long as the head and tail of the partial van car are connected, it will become a fortress by itself, the antlers are stuck in front, and then the front is a large bowl that is dug at will, and the horse pit is more than a foot deep, this thing does not need a lot of manpower, the shallow pit seems simple, but it is a unique weapon that hinders the cavalry attack and breaks the horse's hooves.
Yun Zheng looked at the generals and said with a smile: "That's going to fight head-on?" β
"That's right, Zhang Zhi is not incompetent, we are not necessarily opponents when we play tricks, but our army is just beginning, we must always test our combat strength, Zhang Zhi is a very good whetstone,
If we are defeated, we will have nothing to say, but it will only mean that our efforts over the years have been in vain, and if we succeed, we will be determined to carry out this method of warfare. β
Lang Tan's words quickly won the consent of most people, and only Li Chang said after a long time: "After failing, the consequences are very strict." After speaking, seeing that the other people in the military tent didn't care too much, he raised his voice and said loudly: "Gentlemen, if we fail, we will be finished." β
Jiang Zhe looked at Li Chang strangely and sighed: "If we are defeated, we will all die in battle, how bad can we be?" β
Li Chang's face suddenly turned white, turned his head to look at Yun Zheng, and found that Yun Zheng knocked on the map and spoke slowly: "The army of 35,000 horses and the army of 16,000 horses are logically balanced, if you calculate carefully, the side with more cavalry still has an advantage, and gunpowder is used in field battles, this is the first time, let's go separately to prepare, it is impossible to choose a position in advance, Zhang Zhi will not wade into danger lightly, if you want to fight, you can only come to the ...... in a dignified manner."
Zhang Zhi led the army to rush forward, and the land of Qinzhou was empty, except for plundering some homeless people hiding in the mountains, he couldn't find many targets for him to attack.
The more he broke into the depths of Qinzhou, the more anxious his heart became, could it be that he really only had the road to attack Chencang?
The army swept over the field like a dark cloud, this team is Zhang Zhi's pride, Zhang Zhi is not willing to divide the army, Qinzhou is already rotten, there is really nothing to do, Song State is unable to find trouble in Daxia in a short time.
Since Anxi has won a great victory, then it is time to throw its strength into Anxi, the land of the Hui Hui has only occupied half, and the Huangtou Hui occupiers have more fertile land, as long as the Huangtou Hui is completely occupied, the national strength of Daxia will be at least doubled, why should they be entangled in Qinzhou and the Song State.
As soon as he thought of the military order, Zhang Zhi had to look up to the sky and sigh, Xiangguo's idea was good, but it was very difficult to snatch food from Yun Zheng's mouth, and it could be seen from the military deployment of Qinzhou that Yun Zheng's strength was on the line from Qinzhou to Qinwangchuan, he seemed to just want to keep Qinwangchuan alive, and his army passed through the state on the edge of Qinzhou, but he couldn't see a Song army coming to stop him.
It had been ten days since he entered Qinzhou, and Zhang Zhi did not think that he could still keep military secrets, so he gave up the secret march and began to march towards Qinzhou under the blue sky and white sun.
If he starts to attack Qin Wangchuan to the front line of Qinzhou, I don't believe that Yun Zheng dares to hide in Qinzhou and not come out.
As long as Yun Zheng's army is mobilized, under the harassment of the cavalry, he will always find an opportunity to attack Chen Cang. The second brother Zhang Jiang's secret letter made it very clear that he must do his best to maintain the strength of the Zhang family, once the strength is weakened, the Zhang family will lose all the right to speak in Great Xia.
For this reason, Zhang Zhi chose the first target he wanted to assault - Longcheng!
Longcheng is known as "the hometown of Emperor Wa", it is the birthplace of Nuwa Niangniang, because it is located on the ancient Silk Road, so it is the place where the soldiers of the past dynasties must fight, the ancient battlefield street pavilion of the Three Kingdoms is in the territory, it is the first important town in Qinzhou through the customs of Chang'an, the southeast avenue of the pass guΓ²guan, it has always been the thoroughfare and post station where merchants gather and the transportation is convenient, and it is one of the four major market towns in ancient Qin'an. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was sealed for five years, and the Liangzhou Thorn History Department was in Longcheng; In the Western Jin Dynasty, Luoyang County and Luoyang County were set up, and Longcheng County was set up in the Sui Dynasty, and now it is the most prosperous military state in the Great Song Dynasty.
The Song people west of Qinzhou were all moved back to the east of Qinzhou by Yun Zheng, so if they want to gain something in Qinzhou, they must take the risk of bypassing Yun Zheng who is stationed in Qinzhou City and march eastward.
The army hurried through the Hanwang Valley, and the scouts kept reporting that wolf smoke was rising from the mountains everywhere, and there were as many as sixteen in the densest places. In fact, he didn't need to report to him, he had already seen countless black smoke rising from various vantage points, which looked particularly dazzling under the blue sky and white sun.
Zhang Zhi is no stranger to this kind of situation, as early as when he was a child, he followed his father and ancestors to attack Xingqing Mansion and saw such a scene, at that time, in addition to excitement, but also a little proud, at this time and here to see these wolf smoke Zhang Zhi but some emotion.
General Li Qing came over from a distance and knelt on the ground to report: "General Qiyu, the Song army is in front of the valley mouth formation, the last general watched the enemy's formation and learned that there are no less than 30,000 cavalry, whether to go or stay, please let the general show me." β
"Have you ever been married?"
"The antlers have been laid out, and it looks like they've been waiting for us for a long time."
"How's the rear army?"
As soon as Zhang Zhi asked this sentence, he heard a thunderclap in the Hanwang Valley, and countless large stones rolled down from both sides of the mountain wall, and the broken stones covered the valley, as if the Song army was preventing him from leaving.
Zhang Zhi looked at the gentle valleys on both sides and suddenly smiled: "Could it be that Yun Zheng is going to fight the old man here?" (To be continued)
