Chapter 929: Night
Under Chai Yu City, the battle on the first day did not last long, and it was over in the afternoon, and the two sides were forced to withdraw their troops.
In this battle, the first army of Jingping of the pastoral army fought against more than 8,000 soldiers of Yizhou County with 5,000 soldiers and horses.
The herdsmen won a small victory.
The Yizhou County soldiers suffered a small defeat.
In fact, the casualties on both sides were not very large, but the battle was very fierce, the military formations between the two sides were staggered and complicated.
Arranging troops is the most important test of a commander's command ability.
This battlefield wisdom is different from making plans, most strategists can make strategic deployments before the war, and they can calculate to the extreme, but they are worse than execution, and an excellent commander can make up for this execution.
Chen to today's battle, it can be regarded as exhausting his mental strength, luring the enemy deep, outflanking left and right, and breaking the whole into pieces, and controlling the rhythm of the big battlefield with a small battlefield, so that he can repel Yongtong in the last battle.
Without increasing the number of troops, the battle was won.
However, for the strategic deployment of the entire herdsman, although a small victory on the battlefield is actually a small loss.
The shepherds themselves were preparing for an offensive.
However, this battle took too long, and the momentum of the pastoral army was interrupted.
Morale is crucial to the attack, and now the momentum has been stalled, and the prepared attack has been forced to stop.
There can only be a temporary truce.
Of course, for Huang Zhong, this is also expected, after all, even if the Yizhou soldiers are now at the end of their ropes, the IQ of Yonghong Xu Min and others is still online, and it is impossible to let the herdsmen gather momentum.
This battle, in the final analysis, is just a tentative battle between the two sides.
……
In the evening, the remnant sun was shining, and on the battlefield, the soldiers on both sides were cleaning up the battlefield, and the so-called cleaning up the battlefield probably meant that the two sides killed and collected the corpses, and each carried their own sacrificed soldiers and withdrew from the battlefield.
After cleaning up the battlefield and counting the damage, Chen Zhi took a few generals and rode back to the Chinese army headquarters.
Not long after the establishment of the Chinese army headquarters of the pastoral army, it was established in Chaiyu County, the eastern suburbs outside the city, about 20 miles or so at a mountain corner, which is very remote and remote, and the left and right can be covered, and the most important thing is that the position can control the range of tens of miles, which is definitely a good command camp.
At night, the lights were bright in the makeshift headquarters barracks.
Huang Zhong, Shamoke, and all the generals are here, and they are studying the troop arrangement on the battlefield.
"You're done cleaning the battlefield?" Seeing Chen come in, Huang Zhong asked in a low voice.
"Hmm!"
"What about the casualties of this battle?"
"We have more than 200 soldiers killed in battle, about 100 soldiers are seriously wounded, and countless soldiers are lightly wounded!" Chen Zhi was a little depressed, and said: "I want to review this matter, I am a little careless, I know that the other party is attacking, but I failed to deal with the main force of Yonghong with the correct attitude, and failed to make the most timely and decisive judgment. ”
"You've done a good job in this battle!"
Huang Zhong comforted and said: "A general, being skilled in arches and horses is secondary, and more important is the ability to arrange troops, your attainments in this area, under the Beiwutang, can already be included in the top ten!" ”
Don't underestimate the current Beiwutang, the generals under the command of Beiwutang, in terms of arranging troops, can surpass Chen, there are still many people.
"In today's battle, you have all seen that although Yonghong has reached this point, his heart of resistance has not been destroyed, and he still has the strength to resist, which is not a good thing for us!" After Huang Zhong comforted Chen Dao, he began to face the generals and said in a deep voice: "The county seat of Chaisang is not dangerous, but our troops have not been able to occupy the advantage, and the attack is still somewhat difficult for us!" ”
"So we have to find a way to see if we can surrender without a fight!"
As soon as Huang Zhong's words fell, a captain spoke.
"General, how difficult this is!"
This lieutenant is Du Feng, the right Sima of Jingping's First Army, in charge of the second battalion of Jingping's First Army, he said bitterly: "In today's battle, whether they are imposing or not, they are far from enough for us, I thought they could easily defeat them, but their tenacity has been reflected, which shows that they must fight to the death!" “
"No one is not afraid of death!"
Huang Zhong said: "It's just that we can't make them completely afraid, so in the next step into the palace, we have to be more ruthless, more fierce, and more violent, only by beating them can we make them succumb!" ”
"Today's battle, the momentum is cut off, and tomorrow the battle is again, the morale is gone, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult, and if the city is well prepared, we must pay a heavy price if we venture to the city!" Jun Sima Yang Feng opened his mouth and said: "Can you besiege the city without fighting, and force them to run out of food and grass!" ”
"Difficult!"
Chen Zhi shook his head: "When we attack Chai Yu, what we pay attention to is the speed of the soldiers, if it takes too much time, which of you can guarantee that the barbarian army will not take the opportunity to send troops, and when the barbarian army raids our military camp, even if we block it, I am afraid that we will be forced to withdraw from this place!" ”
"Speaking of which, no matter how you fight, you have to fight a tough battle!" Shamoko spoke faintly.
He kind of liked to fight with the herdsmen, at the beginning he always felt that the Han people were very troublesome in fighting, attacking is attacking, retreating is retreating, and it has to be deduced a hundred or dozens of times before starting a war, which is a waste of time.
Besides, the battlefield is changeable, can deduction determine the outcome of a war?
It can't be good or bad at all.
However, as he fought side by side with the herdsmen during this time, he gradually accepted this troublesome deduction and discussion, because he found that the strategy formulated by the herdsmen always guaranteed that the casualties of his soldiers were kept below the minimum.
One accident, two times is still a coincidence, and three times must be for a reason.
As the pastoral army fought again and again, and after reflecting the importance of pre-war deduction and discussion again and again, Shamoke began to change his mentality, and he enthusiastically participated in this deduction and discussion, hoping to learn this set from the Wuxi barbarian army.
"That's true!"
Huang Zhong said: "This tough battle must be fought, at this time, it is also the time to test our combat effectiveness, no matter what, the city must be broken quickly, dare to solve Yonghong before the barbarian army, otherwise this dog skin plaster will stick to us to the death!" ”
"And continue to attack tomorrow?"
Chen squinted.
"Inadequate!"
Huang Zhong thought for a while and said: "Although it is inevitable to fight a tough battle, we also have to give some time to relax, morale is very important to us, we will only interrupt the momentum today, and tomorrow will not inspire too much morale, wait for the soldiers to delay for a day!" ”
"No!"
Chen Zhi nodded in agreement, his two battalions fought today, and the casualties were not a few, and it would be good for the next main force to have time to lick his wounds.
…………………………………………
Under the same night, in the city of Chai Yu.
"He Yu, didn't you die in battle in Buwei City?" Interrupting the momentum of the herdsman's attack, Yonghong breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't have time to be happy, and suddenly saw He Yu appearing.
This made him happy at first, and then a little abrupt, staring at him quite suspiciously.
The battle of Buwei City was something he didn't expect, and the sneak attack of the barbarian army made him flee for his life in a hurry, in this battle, he not only killed the powerful general Zheng Bai, but also his chief strategist He Yu, who was also shot and fell from his horse in this battle.
The battle was so tragic that he didn't even have time to clean up the corpse, he thought that He Yu had died in battle, but he didn't expect this He Yu to appear in Chai Yu City at this time.
"It was the barbarians who saved me!"
He Yu said in a low voice: "Then let me go again!" ”
"Why?"
Yonghong clenched his fists.
