Chapter 120: The Plan of Sharing Food
Xiao Ding killed two generals of the Hu people, and his reputation was shocked, and almost all of the whole army knew the name Tian Xiaoding.
Xiao Ding didn't expect that he would become an Internet celebrity so quickly, uh, it should be "army red".
When the remnants of the Hu people were defeated and returned to Tuhe Town, they truthfully reported to Li Daocheng. When Li Daocheng heard the news that the two generals of Wan Niba and Fang Qiu Pi had been killed, he was furious.
What a shame it is for a well-known general of the Great Xia Kingdom to be killed by a little-known nobody!
"Tian Xiaoding, I must kill you and avenge my two generals!" Li Daocheng gritted his teeth and said.
"Your Royal Highness, the Great Prince, don't be impulsive." Mao Yanshun, the military advisor sitting on the side, opened his mouth at this time, "At this time, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses have been stationed in Pubian City, and there is no need for us to seize Pubian City anymore." ”
"So how do we send troops next?" Li Daocheng was so angry that he couldn't think anymore, so he simply asked Mao Yanshun directly for his idea.
"According to the report of the spies, the Great Song Kingdom only sent a total of 50,000 troops this time, and we brought a total of 120,000 troops this time. Now that their 50,000 troops are still defending two cities, we can completely adopt the strategy of dividing and devouring each of them. Mao Yanshun said confidently.
"How do you divide and eat, and break each one? Do you want me to divide my troops into two ways to attack the two cities of Dingbian and Pubian? Li Daocheng raised his head and continued to ask.
"No, no! Now the Xiang army of the Great Song Kingdom is mainly concentrated in Dingbian and Pubian, we don't need to clash with them head-on, the soldiers of the Great Song Kingdom are good at defending the city, even if we send all the troops to attack these two cities, we may not be able to capture them for a while and a half, and we may suffer heavy losses. Mao Yanshun analyzed.
"If we don't fight these two cities, where are we going to fight?" Li Daocheng asked suspiciously.
"In the southwest of Dingbian County is Xinquan County, which is currently empty, and we can send people to attack here first. If the Dingbian side divides troops to rescue again, won't it be much easier for us to attack Dingbian? If the Dingbian side does not divide troops to rescue, we will directly capture Xinquan County, and then bypass Dingbian and directly march into Yongzhou City. Mao Yanshun pointed to the military map and said.
"What if they let the garrison of Urabe go to the rescue of Shinsen?" Li Daocheng asked.
"If they let the garrison of Pubian divide their troops to rescue Xinquan, then we will send another team of men and horses to attack Pubian, and after defeating Pubian City, we can also bypass Dingbian City and march to Yongzhou City." Mao Yanshun replied.
"The military advisor's plan to divide the food is really clever! Force them to disperse the main forces, and then we will break them individually! Li Daocheng said admiringly.
Therefore, Li Daocheng divided his troops again and sent generals according to Mao Yanshun's strategy, and sent the famous generals of Daxia State, Chibugou and Wo Nafei, to lead 20,000 troops to attack Xinquan County. Send the generals Ye Liertai and Ye Li Lao Wen to Dingbian with 10,000 troops to support the siege of Balatian, and send the generals Zhang Yuanpu and Zhang Wangrong to lead 20,000 troops to monitor Pubian City, once Pubian City divides troops to rescue Xinquan, they will directly attack Pubian City.
The generals will be ordered to go down, and the generals will be ordered to go down. Li Daocheng couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart. Xin said that as long as this plan was successful, he could lead the main force to directly attack Yongzhou City.
In Dingbian City, Huang Wenlong commanded the army to resist wave after wave of fierce attacks by the Hu people. It was not until the second half of the night that Bara ordered the troops to be collected and rested.
Under the city walls, corpses were piled up. There are Hu people, and there are also van soldiers.
In this battle, the Hu people lost about 3,000 people, and the Xiang army also lost about 2,000 people.
As the saying goes, "Wound a thousand enemies, lose 800 yourself", this is not wrong at all!
There are still more than 20,000 troops in Dingbian City. Xin Qi Balatian only concentrated his firepower to attack the city on the north side, and if it was a siege from all sides, the number of dead and wounded would definitely be more.
However, Huang Wenlong still received a good news, that is, the rescue cavalry led by Jin Xi had successfully saved the 20,000 people taken away by Wei Dutong, although there were also losses, but it was better than the annihilation of the whole army, not to mention, this battle also killed two famous generals of the Great Xia Kingdom. This was a surprise that Huang Wenlong was very surprised.
But before he had time to be happy, he came back from Tanma to report that in Tuhe Town, Li Daocheng sent the generals Chibugou and Wo Nafei with 20,000 soldiers and horses to Xinquan County, apparently to attack Xinquan County.
As soon as Huang Wenlong heard the news, he immediately had a headache.
He understood that the Hu people already knew that their troops were insufficient, so they divided and attacked, and if they divided their troops to save them, they would be in danger of being broken by each one. If you don't go to the rescue, you can only watch Xinquan County be occupied by the Hu people.
At the same time, Huang Wenlong also thought that it was very likely that the Hu people would bypass Dingbian County and directly capture Yongzhou City.
At this time, it is really difficult to choose!
Huang Wenlong thought too much, and he didn't come up with a foolproof plan.
There was no way, so he had to send someone to send an urgent document back to Yongzhou to give Yongzhou Assassin Shi Feiwu, asking for additional troops to support. At the same time, he sent people to Pubian City to deliver a message, ordering Jin Xi to send 5,000 men to support Xinquan. At the same time, he also sent a subordinate commander surnamed Cao to draw 5,000 men from Dingbian City to Xinquan County to support.
In Pubian City, it was already early the next morning when Jin Xi received Huang Wenlong's order. He didn't have a military general under him, so he thought of Xiao Ding's bravery last night, so he sent Xiao Ding as a team leader to lead 5,000 men and horses to Xinquan to support.
Xiao Ding asked for 5,000 cavalry, in order to speed up the journey, so as not to go too late, and if Xinquan was captured, his previous efforts would be wasted. Jin Xi agreed with Xiao Ding's idea and handed over the cavalry brought out of Dingbian City and the 1,000 cavalry that were later equipped to Xiao Ding.
Xiao Ding led the team to gallop in the direction of Xinquan County.
Xiao Ding had just left the city, and Zhang Yuanpu and Zhang Wangrong had already gotten the news, so they shouted, "Siege!" The two of them led 20,000 soldiers and horses towards Pubian City to kill the generals.
Xiao Ding led the cavalry to run for a day and a night, and finally came to the vicinity of Xinquan County.
At this time, a spy came to report: "General Hui Tian, ten miles ahead, I found a camp, which seems to be the camp of the Hu people." Are we going to take a detour into town? ”
Xiao Ding is now the "army red" in the army, almost all the soldiers in the army know Xiao Ding, this time he led the team, although he does not have any official position, but other soldiers also respectfully call him "General Tian".
"Is there still a war in Jiuquan County?" Xiao Ding asked.
"There is no battle situation yet, but it seems that the reinforcements sent from Dingbian have already entered the city." Tanma replied.
"Since there is an enemy camp in front of them, I guess they have just set up camp and have not yet had time to attack the city. We might as well go and kill them while they haven't established themselves, and do you have the guts to come with me? Xiao Ding shouted loudly.
"We are willing to follow General Tian!" The soldiers replied loudly.
"Okay, then everyone will go with me to kill it! Drive the Hu people back to Grandma's house! Xiao Ding shouted.
"Kill it! Drive the Hu people back to Grandma's house! ”
"Drive the Hu people back to Grandma's house!"
The soldiers shouted in unison.
Seeing that the purpose of boosting morale had been achieved, Xiao Ding waved the spear in his hand, took the lead, and galloped forward.
The great army followed, rushing in.
