241.Battle of Wutong Ridge (1)
Zhang Jue, who was far away in Xuanhua, sent a message to Xinyi, asking Zhao Dongting whether to lead the army to the east and shrink the defensive line.
Zhao Dongting just asked him to wait a little longer and clarify the movements of the Yuan army.
After another six days, the army of Boyan pressed from Zhaoqing Mansion to Duanxi, the main mansion of Deqing Mansion, which was not far from Wuzhou and Cen Xi.
The army has also arrived at the territory of Jinghu North Road, and it seems that there is a plan to directly wave the army to Jingjiang Mansion on Guangnan West Road.
Jingjiang Mansion stands on the mountain, the city wall is high, and it is really an important military city that can be attacked and defended.
Zhang Jue mobilized the Tiangui and Tianfu armies of Frozen Zhou and Taipingzhai to gather in Xuanhua, shrink the defensive line, and wanted to move closer to the Wentianxiang defensive line.
And just when the two sides were marching intensively, Boyan finally took the lead in launching an offensive against the Song army.
The Yuan general Arakhan led 50,000 soldiers from Duanxi to Fengchuan Mansion, which was closest to Wuzhou City, and pressed Wuzhou, which was less than 100 miles away from Wuzhou.
The Yuan general Kong Yuan led 20,000 troops, crossed Yushui outside Duanxi City, and went straight to Cen Xi.
The eyes of both sides came and went, flowing endlessly in the wilderness, and by now, they were naturally aware of each other's movements.
The Song army knew the movements of the Yuan army, and the Yuan army also knew the defensive arrangements of the Song army.
At the end of the day, you still have to see the real chapter on the battlefield.
Zhao Dongting, Qin Han and others studied the situation in Xinyi, and they all knew very well that Arakhan's 50,000 soldiers probably did not have the courage to attack Wuzhou, and suddenly marched into Fengchuan Mansion, just to contain the Tiankui army in Wuzhou Mansion. Tiankui's army is no more than 10,000 people, and it is impossible for Yue Peng to have extra troops to rush to Cen Xi.
And Cen Xi has the Tiangang army stationed, which the Yuan army should know. Kong Yuan was a pioneer, probably just to explore the reality of the Song army.
On the day he got the news, Zhao Dongting's carrier pigeon ordered Su Quandang, telling him to repel Kong Yuan and fight this first battle.
The two sides put on a big position, and the victory or defeat of this first battle had too great an impact on morale.
Nearly ten days passed, and Kong Yuan's 20,000 troops set up camp on a hill more than 20 miles outside Cenxi County. However, they did not attack Cen Xi.
The army of Su'er approached Jingjiang Province.
Zhang Jue's 50,000 troops gathered, abandoned the city where they were originally stationed, went to Ningpu, and joined the Tianman army. 60,000 troops were stationed in Ningpu.
Zhao Dongting continued to discuss the situation with Qin Han, Dongheli, and Zhao and Luo at night, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Ah Han's 50,000 yuan army contained Yue Peng, it seemed that he wanted to create an opportunity for Kong Yuan in Cen Xi, but Kong Yuan did not move, which is a bit intriguing.
In the room, Zhao Dongting pointed his finger at Cen Xi on the map and asked, "Kong Yuan is not moving, what do you want to do?" ”
Because Yesu'er had not yet arrived in Jingjiang at this time, every move of Boyan seemed a little intriguing.
It was not fast, and if it was not officially put on a posture, it was really impossible to predict how the Yuan army planned to break through Zhao Dongting's defense line.
However, it is certain that when his army approached Jingjiang Province, it would never be possible to attack from the west side of the Quang Nam West Road. His logistical supply lines couldn't go that far, and he couldn't afford to waste his time in this way.
Qin Han, Dongheli, Zhao and Luo all looked down at the map and pondered.
After a few minutes, Qin Han suddenly said: "If the Yuan army besieges first and then attacks, our army is afraid that it will be in trouble." ”
Zhao Dongting's eyes suddenly condensed.
Qin Han's words were like a needle straight into his heart.
He quickly calculated the ratio of troops between the two sides in his mind, yes, what if Kong Yuan didn't want to take Cen Xi, but to contain Cen Xi?
As long as Boyan contains all the Song troops south of Cen Xi, and quickly divides his troops to contain Zhang Jue and Wen Tianxiang, won't Wuzhou be in danger?
It was easy for the Song army to defend the city, but it was a little difficult to break through the defense line of the Yuan army and rush to the rest of the city.
Qin Han looked at him at this time and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that we can only transfer all the military horses from Tianji and Tianxian to Cen Xi." Then it will be up to the Yuan army to respond, if they continue to increase their troops outside Cen Xi City, it will definitely be to cut off our army by seven inches and attack Wuzhou on a large scale! ”
I have to say that if the Yuan army really planned to contain the rest of the cities first, and then attack Wuzhou, it would indeed hit the shortcomings of Zhao Dongting's iron bucket defense line. Qin Han's proposal was extremely pertinent, and he joined forces with Cen Xi before the Yuan army completely contained the cities south of Cen Xi, and when the time came, he might be able to break through the Yuan army and rush to Wuzhou.
However, after Zhao Dongting groaned, he said: "Even if you rush to Cen Xi, what can you do?" ”
After all, the Yuan army was too strong, and even if he transferred all his troops to Wuzhou City, he might not be able to hold it.
Even if you hold on, how much loss will you have?
Such a loss is simply unbearable for the current Southern Song Dynasty.
Qin Han sighed and said, "It was originally a mistake to choose to go to war head-on with the Yuan army. ”
Until now, he still doesn't have any Zhao Dongting's battle phalanx. Judging from the current situation, the Song army should completely avoid the edge of the Yuan army.
Zhao Dongting shook his head, "No, I said that I will not be the Rat Emperor again. ”
"Does the 20,000 yuan army want to contain Cen Xi and lead our army north?"
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Let Zhang Hongwei lead the army to Cen Xi." At the same time, he ordered Su Quandang to annihilate Kong Yuan's 20,000 yuan army! ”
The three people in Donghe were stunned when they heard this order.
Zhao Youluo said: "Your Majesty, the Tiangang army is not more than 10,000 people, let them take the initiative to attack Kong Yuan's 20,000 yuan army?" ”
The courage of the Yuan army is well known, except for the battles of Zhao Dongting and Guangxi, which won more with less, almost no Song army has accomplished such a feat.
In Zhao and Luo's hearts, if there are 30,000 Song troops, Xing is allowed to annihilate the 20,000 yuan army. But the 10,000 Song army had the feeling of sending sheep into the tiger's mouth.
Qin Han, on the other hand, groaned and said, "Maybe it's okay." ”
He had seen Zhao Dongting's firearms.
Zhao Dongting no longer hesitated, looked at Dongheli, and said, "Lord Donghe, go and pass the order!" ”
"Commandment."
Dongheli gave up his hand and hurriedly left the room.
Qin Han said: "Your Majesty, this is the old method of planning to use the battle of Guangxi?" ”
Zhao Dongting sat back in his chair, "The Yuan army is too strong, and they can only slowly wear down their strength. If you really want them to completely put their posture on the table, if the two sides fight a decisive battle, what do you think our army can win? ”
Qin Han said: "It's close to nothing." ”
"Hmm."
Zhao Dongting nodded, "So we can't give them a chance to fight." ”
Qin Han looked at Zhao Dongting deeply, "The emperor is now more and more like a general. ”
Zhao Dongting stopped talking.
He knew very well in his heart that he was definitely not a general. Because if he was asked to arrange the troops, he could only catch the blind, but he was unwilling to tell Qin Han about this shortcoming. He now has a deep defense against Qin Han and Shuzhong, and if it is not a last resort, he doesn't want to expose too many things in front of Qin Han.
People who keep their secrets deep tend to live longer. The same is true of the forces.
……
From Xinyi to Cen Xi, it is only a distance of more than 100 kilometers. Just two hours later, the carrier pigeon arrived in the Suquan Dang army.
When the soldier in charge of receiving the order saw the letter tied with a small yellow cloth strip on the leg of the carrier pigeon, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked to see Su Quandang.
The letter tied with a small strip of yellow cloth was an edict of the emperor.
Su Quandang was woken up by the guards in his sleep, and after taking the letter, he read it under the oil lamp.
The letter was just a small note, and what was written on it were numbers such as Shiwu, Erluxi, and Sanshiqi.
Su Quandang spread out the letter on the table, walked to the bedside, and took out a thread-bound book of about dozens of pages from the box under his bed.
The book is just a cowhide cover, and nothing is written on the cover.
This is naturally from Zhao Dongting's handwriting.
Secret Order.
This kind of secret order is used in the Flying Dragon Army, and now, it has been popularized to Yue Peng, Su Quandang, Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Jue and several others.
As for the rest of the generals, they have not yet reached the point where Zhao Dongting can be completely trusted. Therefore, Zhao Dongting did not distribute this secret order to them.
Su Quandang opened the book, the first page.
The characters on the top of the book are very neat, ten rows and ten columns, all of which are separate Chinese characters.
The fifth word in the tenth line, attack.
This word responds to the number of "pick-up" in the secret order.
And then on the second page, the sixth line, it's a hole.
……
Such a secret order was intercepted by the Yuan army, and there was no danger of leaking the military aircraft.
Su Quandang found a word and wrote a word on the paper. Within minutes, he had written a complete command on a piece of paper.
Attack Kong Yuan and try your best to annihilate it.
Su Quandang looked at these seven words, and his expression gradually became solemn.
After watching for a few minutes, he suddenly shouted to the guards outside the room, "Order, let the generals go to the main hall to discuss matters." ”
"Order!"
The guards outside the door did not dare to slack off, nor did they dare to ask more, and the footsteps quickly disappeared.
Su Quandang's eyes moved back to the paper, and he muttered in his mouth, "Do you want to annihilate Kong Yuan's 20,000 yuan army......
