Chapter 102: It's called a strategic strike
Dong Fei has a headache now.
Chen Ping guessed correctly, Zhang Han not only sent Sima Xin to lead 100,000 troops south to outflank.
At the same time, he also gave Dong Peng 70,000 people to cross the river to the north.
The purpose of the tactics was to gather food and grass for the army and stabilize the city.
The strategic purpose is to clean up the hinterland of the Central Plains, and prepare for the defeat of Wang Buxing before going north to wipe out the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.
Although Zhang Han has heard many people talk about the legendary story of Wang Buhang.
But for Wang Buxing, he always didn't care too much.
A small soldier who has been an ordinary soldier for a few years, but it is because of luck that he has today.
Not to mention anything else, legend has it that the king is not hungry and has more than 100,000 soldiers, well, even if he has 200,000?
The front of the 400,000 army is just right, and the 100,000 army goes around the flank and rear to carry out a sneak attack, can your king hold it if he is not hungry?
Have you ever seen such a big scene?
In a war of this scale, won't you panic in your heart when you command it?
I'll just ask you, are you afraid?
Of course, it would be false to say that you don't pay attention to it at all.
After all, with an army of 570,000, Zhang Han only sent out 70,000 to do something else, but in fact, it was not something else, mainly to collect grain and grass, and by the way, to do something else, it was not a pure lack of business.
In addition, Zhang Han himself also brought some grain and grass, and after hearing that Xingyang had fallen, he got some supplies from Guanzhong.
Zhang Han knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for him to get supplies from Guanzhong again, and he must fight to recapture Xingyang and Aocang.
'Bang! ’
Dong Fei was very angry, and kicked the door hard, and the sturdy wooden door began to shake, but it still did not fall in the end.
"How many times? How many times has this been? Dong Fei looked at his subordinates viciously.
"Sixth time......"
"What do you want you to eat? Yes? Tell me what you do besides eating? No matter how he scolded, Dong Peng always felt that he couldn't calm his anger.
This battle is so aggrieved that the people who fight want to die.
Are there many casualties?
It was not big at all, and after coming north of the Great River, the total loss was less than three thousand people.
This refers to the soldiers, and there are more people and so on, and there are 10,000 people.
But they have no shortage of people, and they can be recruited at any time.
But the most painful thing is that the grain and grass! Grain and grass......
"Captain, the brothers really can't help it......"
"There's no way to think about it, do you still want this head?" The more Dong Peng listened, the more angry he became.
He is a serious military general, different from Sima Xin's pseudo-military general.
Of course, Dong Peng didn't know that Sima Xin's army was gone.
If it was Zhang Han's head spinning and jumping at that time, let Dong Peng go south and Sima Xin go north.
It's hard to say what the situation will be in the north, but at least the king in the south won't be so easy if he doesn't starve, and it will take two thousand more people to die.
"Captain, the troops are not enough, the grain and grass are forcibly requisitioned from each household, and sent to the county seat in the village, they only do it on the way, we transport it from the county seat, if the escort troops are more, they will not move, if it is less, they will suddenly appear, and every village must send a thousand troops to protect the county to transport grain, right?"
"Be a bait and lure them out!" Dong Peng said viciously.
So far, they have lost almost 300,000 stone of grain, and they haven't even seen the shadow of the enemy.
And the most shameless thing is that these people are very chicken thieves.
Seeing that there are more escort troops, they make sure that they don't let go of a single fart, and if they can't do large-scale transportation, they will do it from below.
As I said earlier, you can't send heavy troops to every village to escort the grain, right?
They don't have that many troops, and besides, they have other tasks.
It is impossible to delay too long.
Of course, what annoyed Dong Peng the most was that these people were still too chicken thieves.
Every time they rob, only a small amount of grain is taken, and the rest is either burned or hidden somewhere, anyway, people can't find a trace.
I worked so hard that I didn't have to lose my face to collect more than 500,000 stone of grain, and in less than ten days, I let these people kill 300,000 stone.
In addition to his own food, he just sent less than 200,000 stone grain and grass to the 400,000 army?
How is this battle fought?
Spank slap ......
……
Inside a secluded forest.
The surroundings are densely packed with people.
The little flicker Peng Yue is now also a shotgun changer, from a fake military marquis, to a real military marquis.
Although he had more than 2,000 men under his command, he was still a military marquis.
Peng Yue has never boasted in front of people that he will give any official as many people as he wants, and this kind of high-quality is not something he can brag.
The main thing, of course, is that now he is also a regular army.
That's right, in the name of Wang Bu Hung, he swaggered and deceived everywhere, but he didn't expect to be approached by Wang Bu Hung's people at the beginning.
Resist?
!
They came out to take refuge in the king and not to be hungry.
I didn't go to Wang Bu Hungry for the first time, just because I wanted to make some credit before I went, and then life would be better.
Now that people have come to the door, they have listed everything they have done, and Peng Yue is so frightened that he almost pees his pants on the spot.
Later, when I thought about it carefully, taking refuge now is the same as taking refuge in the future, and if I take refuge in the future, how can I count my current military achievements?
After thinking about it, Peng Yue also left.
Then follow Wang Buxing's instructions and continue to do evil in the north of the Great River, no, it is to set off a fire against the Great Qin.
"Peng Junhou, we have burned so much food, isn't it a pity?"
"That's it, hundreds of thousands of stones, enough for us to eat for many years!"
“……”
Everyone said everything they could, and they didn't feel ashamed to engage in a sneak attack, but felt very excited.
It's all rookies, whoever is unhappy is a fool, but it's just that so much food is burned that makes people feel distressed.
"You know what if you don't burn the food? Can we get it back or what? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by them? There are tens of thousands of people on the other side, there is a bite to eat, is he uncomfortable alive? Peng Yue despised everyone with disdain.
"Besides, the task given to us by Childe is to prevent the grain on the north bank of the river from being transported to the south bank as much as possible, and we just don't let him transport it over, whether he burns it or buries it? When the time comes, you will be credited. ”
Peng Yue looked at a quiet man who was obviously dressed differently, and asked with an embarrassed face: "Chen Envoy, what did you say about that sentence?" ”
Chen Li is a member of the scout army, can read a few words, after Peng Yue defected, Chen Li took five scouts to enter here, followed them, one is responsible for delivering news, the other is responsible for recording the merits, so Peng Yue and others called Chen Envoy, which means the messenger sent by Wang Bu Hunger.
"Childe said, this is called a strategic strike against the enemy......
