Chapter 799: The situation is good?
Outside the city of Bingzhou, it suddenly rained today, the day in the northwest has never had such extreme weather, the heavy rain weather is extremely unfavorable to the defending side, because the city wall of Bingzhou is mostly rammed with clay, under the heavy rain, the huge stone thrown by the catapult smashed on the city wall, the city wall in many places is difficult to withstand such a great force, so the city wall collapsed, and the city defense of the city became more and more tense.
This time, Lu Zheng personally led the army to come, and the two generals who came with him were Xiao Ran and Kuangzi, these two people have grown from ordinary captains in the Nanfu army to a general, and the two of them each led 20,000 horses to defend Lu Zheng, and the two of them fought to the death from the beginning of the battle of Bingzhou, so the battle situation was also extremely tragic.
Although the defender of the state is not as good as Lu Zheng in terms of wisdom, and Lu Zheng has been defeated repeatedly, but the courage of defending the city is comparable to Song Wensong, this time Chuanshanyue vowed to live and die with the state, so from the beginning of the war, Chuanshan Yue took out all the skills, both the offensive and defensive sides have accumulated enough strength, and Lu Zheng's attack on the state was blocked!
"War does have its inevitable law, any opportunistic tricks have to pay a price, the Northwest Army and the Liaodong Army this big fight, on the surface is only about the growth and decline of the forces of both sides, but in fact this matter is related to the overall situation of the world, the eyes of the whole world are now focused on our Liaodong, it is really lively!" Lu Zheng said lightly, he suddenly stood up and said:
"Can we take the state?"
Xiao Ran said with a look of shame: "Lord Wang, there are not a few defenders in the mountains and mountains of Bingzhou, if the prince can come with the best of his elite this time, we will have a greater certainty of taking the state, now...... Yanmen Pass really doesn't need 60,000 people to guard it! ”
Lu Zheng led an army of 100,000 and left more than 60,000 in Yanmen Pass, so this time the siege army was actually only 40,000 horses, and the defenders in Bingzhou City were almost 40,000 horses, so the strength of the besieging side did not have an absolute advantage, and it was too difficult to break through the opponent's city.
Although Chuan Shanyue fled all the way west in shock, although Lu Zheng expected that Song Naifeng would not dare to personally guard in Bingzhou, and the strength of the guards in Bingzhou City would not be too strong, but the natural law of war is an iron law, and the law of war in the era of cold weapons is sometimes difficult to overcome!
The battle situation is scorching, and Longyou is also very nervous at this time, but compared to Song Naifeng's whip, Lu Zheng is much calmer, even though the overall situation of the world is changing, but everything is changing, Lu Zheng's grasp of the entire battle situation After taking Yanmen Pass, he actually occupied the absolute initiative.
Xiao Ran had a proposal, Kuang Zi was much more direct, he said in an urn: "Lord Wang, I am a rough person, I don't understand those twists and turns, that's the case, now we can't take it and Huangzhou, and Huangzhou may be lost at any time, once Huangzhou is lost, Qin Yehei's army will come from behind, we rely on the Yanmen Pass, how can we ensure that we can advance and retreat freely?"
At this time, we should break the cauldron and let General Liu Song lead the whole army to reinforce quickly, and we will take down the state in one go, so that the world will be flat, and we will be able to advance and retreat freely! ”
Lu Zheng laughed, suddenly got up, and said, "Kuangzi, Kuangzi, you are still a rough person!" I listen to your analysis so meticulously, it is reasonable, almost irrefutable, is this still what a rough man can say? ”
Lu Zheng said this, Kuang Zi was a little embarrassed, his appearance was really rough, and his shy appearance made people look very awkward, he said: "Lord, you said this, you naturally saw it, I think the prince has other plans!" ”
Xiao Ran said: "Lord Wang, when you come to this point today, I am really anxious, Lord Wang, things have come to this point, you should go next!" ”
Lu Zheng sat down, looked back at the boy, and said, "How many days has Huangzhou been guarded?" ”
The boy said: "Back to Gongzi, Huangzhou has been defended for ten days, the city defense is in danger, Qin Yehei's army has surrounded Huangzhou on all sides into an iron barrel, and if it goes on like this, the city defense of Huangzhou cannot continue to ......."
Lu Zheng said: "Give Liu Song an order, let Liu Song lead the cavalry to raid Huangzhou, be sure to travel at night, and then dare to attack suddenly at dawn, remember, the northwest iron cavalry can not be underestimated, if it is not a surprise attack, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses." Also, once attacked, you can't retreat, you have to bite the opponent to the death, and you must not give them a chance to breathe! ”
When Lu Zheng said this, the audience was shocked, especially Xiao Ran and Kuang Zi, they look at me, I look at you, they looked at each other, obviously they were very surprised.
The army led by Liu Song is not actually in Yanmen Pass, but has been secretly lurking in the west of Huangzhou, and they are waiting for the opportunity to raid the Northwest Army attacking the city at any time!
Qin Yesi besieged Huangzhou for ten days, and his heart must have been furious for a long time, under such circumstances, his initial vigilance must have been lost, and he put all his mind into the siege battle. Under such circumstances, Lu Zheng suddenly attacked, and Liu Song's army would definitely succeed with one blow!
There are two key elements of cavalry combat, the first element is the neatness of the battle formation, the second element is the smooth communication, the army is open and closed, Lu Zheng suddenly attacked, Qin Yehei's army attacking the city may not even have time to get on the horse, this is Lu Zheng's first calculation.
The second calculation is that Qin Yesi is now besieging Huangzhou City, relying on Huangzhou City as the center, and there are siege soldiers on all sides, in this case, their communication is absolutely not guaranteed. Lu Zheng asked Liu Song to concentrate superior forces to attack, attack from one side, and then quickly encroach on the periphery, this attack is the various breakthroughs of the Northwest Army, with this battle, the Northwest Army will inevitably suffer a major blow.
Lu Zheng told the strategy of using troops, Xiao Ran and Kuang Zi were so impressed that they fell to the ground, and only then did they understand that Lu Zheng did not plan to really attack and merge with the state from the beginning, and then sent troops to the Central Plains or threatened Longyou.
Lu Zheng took Yanmen Pass, and then quickly marched into Bingzhou, so that Song Naifeng and Chuanshanyue had a wrong judgment, thinking that Lu Zheng was going to move the army from Liaodong to the Central Plains in one go!
In fact, Lu Zheng's plan to give up Liaodong itself is virtual and real, if Song Naifeng is really determined to Liaodong, Lu Zheng will simply give up Shengjing, give up Liaodong and take the Central Plains, but when Lu Zheng captured Yanmen Pass, the situation has completely changed, Lu Zheng can naturally change his strategy, take back the abandoned Liaodong, and wait for the opportunity to teach the Northwest Army a huge lesson!
It is no exaggeration to say that if there was no decisive abandonment of Lu Zheng, there would not be the current free advance and retreat, such tactics are actually not unusual, because in the world where Lu Zheng lives, there is a bull who has a military idea that does not care about the gains and losses of a city and a place.
Regardless of the gains and losses of a city and a place, despise the enemy strategically, attach importance to the enemy tactically, concentrate superior forces to defeat the enemy, etc., these are all familiar to Lu Zheng, and they are very skillfully used in this battle between the two sides, imagine that although Song Naifeng is powerful, but Lu Zheng is standing on the shoulders of giants, the two are so confrontational, even if it is Song Naifeng, he may not be able to take advantage!
Song Naifeng was overconfident in the use of troops in Liaodong, he thought that he was familiar with Liaodong, Liaodong was the home field for him, and despised Lu Zheng's possible counterattack, so the Liaodong army was proud from the beginning.
And Lu Zheng knows himself and his opponent, and uses his advantages in intelligence to constantly search for plans for the Northwest Army to send troops, and before the war starts, Lu Zheng already knows everything about the Northwest Army's troop arrangement. On the contrary, Song Naifeng was completely unaware of Lu Zheng's intentions, and when the 30,000 horses of Sichuan Mountain were lured into the canyon east of Huangzhou and were wiped out, when Lu Zheng's troops came to Yanmen Pass, Song Naifeng knew that Lu Zheng was trying his best to get out of Yanmen Pass.
At that time, Song Naifeng was still optimistic, because he felt that Yanmen Pass was solid, as long as Yanmen Pass was held, and then Qin Yehei's army attacked Huangzhou, the Northwest Army used troops from both sides, which was enough to force Lu Zheng to fight a decisive battle.
In fact, if Song Naifeng really defended Yanmen Pass, the occupation may not be as optimistic as he thought, because Lu Zheng also had a plan to attack Yanmen Pass, attacking Yanmen Pass is fake, and it is true to besiege Yanmen Pass to send reinforcements, there is Song Naifeng in Yanmen Pass, Song Naifeng is in danger, how can Qin Yehei not save him?
Qin Yesi turned from the hinterland of Liaodong to Huangzhou, Huangzhou Song Wensong is the first pass he needs to pass, Lu Zheng only needs to hide the main force near Huangzhou, just like now, Huangzhou City can not be attacked for a long time, Qin Yesi is impetuous, and when he wants to do his best, Lu Zheng can do his best to carry out a surprise attack on Qin Yesi's army, this time Qin Yesi suffered a heavy blow, and then Lu Zheng tried his best to attack Yanmen Pass with Liaodong troops, Song Naifeng lost his internal response, and Yanmen Pass could not be held at all.
As long as Song Naifeng withdrew from Yanmen Pass, this time his use of troops in Liaodong would be a complete failure, and Lu Zheng completely reversed the situation through this big victory, and the situation in the world was restored to balance.
Lu Zheng's strategy had already been planned, and the reality went further than Lu Zheng thought, the key was that on the side of Yanmen Pass, Song Naifeng didn't dare to defend it, so Lu Zheng captured the pass with a little force.
Lu Zheng took Yanmen Pass, which is equivalent to completely cutting off the contact between the northwest and Liaodong, so that Qin Yehei's 100,000 army has become a turtle in the urn, Lu Zheng will not easily go out of the Central Plains no matter what, because no matter how large the territory is, it is not as important as destroying the enemy's living force, as long as he finds an opportunity to annihilate Qin Yehei's 100,000 horses, Song Naifeng will suffer a heavy blow that is almost unbearable, and after this heavy blow, Song Naifeng may not be an overnight thing to make a comeback.
The Northwest Army is elusive, the combat power is strong, and they are all cavalry, and the characteristics of the cavalry are like the wind.
What's even more terrifying is such a large cavalry, once they plundered in Liaodong, the people of Liaodong are only afraid of using no peace, and with such a force, Lu Zheng really wants to hold them, and the two sides will directly confront each other, and Lu Zheng may not necessarily be able to gain the upper hand if they meet hard.
Therefore, although Lu Zheng's idea of catching a turtle in an urn is good, if the plan is not thorough and the calculation is not appropriate, it may become a turtle that is not caught, but a good net is wasted.
Therefore, the focus of Lu Zheng's strategy to catch turtles is Huangzhou, and he used Song Wensong to let him guard Huangzhou, which is to fancy Song Wensong's first-class combat power in the world, and the soldiers who defend Huangzhou cannot be less, too few are not enough to confuse opponents and enemies. There are not too many soldiers guarding Huangzhou, because there are too many soldiers The opponent may give up attacking Huangzhou, and play hide and seek with Lu Zheng on the periphery, now Song Wensong of Huangzhou holds on for ten days, and Qin Yehei can not make contributions for ten days.
Lu Zheng dispatched troops, and the battle situation on the Huangzhou side was rapidly promoted, and on the Bingzhou side, Lu Zheng ordered a quick retreat, and the state could not be captured, so he quickly retreated to Yanmen Pass, held Yanmen Pass, and blocked Qin Yehei's last escape route, that is the real urn to catch turtles!
……
The weather in Longyou turned cold, a heavy snow fell, and the sky and the earth were white, and the sky was cold.
Longyou is cold, Liaodong is definitely not much stronger, outside the palace Yin'an Palace, Song Naifeng put his hands behind his back, pacing on the snow, his inner anxiety is indescribable, and the civil and military courtiers who followed behind him are also sweating on their foreheads, which looks particularly abrupt under this icy and snowy scenery.
"You don't have to be in a hurry, according to the latest battle report, the Huangzhou guards have been strong, and General Qin has issued a military order, and Huangzhou will be captured within three days! In addition, on the side of Bingzhou, Chuanshanyue clearly said in the newspaper that the city of Bingzhou was impregnable, and although Lu Zheng personally led a large army to attack the city, he fought hard for many days without merit.
And he also said that Lu Zheng's Nanfu army was not good at attacking cities, and their siege equipment was insufficient, and Chuan Shanyue guaranteed that he would be able to ensure that he would not have to worry about annexing the city within ten days! ”
The civilian officials who followed closely behind him continued to report the most urgent military situation at the moment, from the perspective of the military situation, it was all good news, but Song Naifeng was still anxious, he had fought all his life, fought a lifetime of battles, and his sensitivity at a critical time was by no means comparable to ordinary people.
The news that came for three days was good news, and Song Naifeng became more and more absolutely wrong, because he found that when he was fighting in person, there were accidents every day, Chuanshan Yue was unexpectedly annihilated, Yanmen Pass was unexpectedly lost, and it was unexpectedly difficult to defend the city of Bingzhou.
It's okay now, he Song Naifeng left the battlefield and returned to Longyou, the situation on the battlefield is very good, this is definitely not true!
"It's definitely not going to be that simple, it's definitely not going to be that simple! Let Chuan Shanyue not be careless, let Qin Yesi must ensure that Huangzhou is captured at the greatest speed, only by taking Huangzhou can the battle situation be stable! Song Naifeng said.
"Father, don't worry, I have reinforced him with 20,000 new troops on the side of Chuanshanyue, in addition, the grain and grass transported to Bingzhou have already set off, and they will arrive within a few days, and the defense of Bingzhou City is impregnable, and we have a secret way to transport grain, such a strong city, let alone hold it for ten days, I'm afraid Lu Zheng will not be able to capture it in January!" Song Wenjie strode forward and walked behind his father, and said in a low voice.
Song Naifeng said "hey", did not answer his words, the pace was faster, the direction of Song Naifeng was the military aircraft department, this is the first stop of the military intelligence delivery, it is obvious that Song Naifeng is particularly concerned about the military situation on the front line, and he can't wait for the news of the two places.
Many people followed, and when they arrived at the military aircraft, this small place was so crowded that they couldn't be crowded, and the official in charge of the military aircraft was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, kneeling in front of Song Naifeng so nervous that he was suffocating, and he didn't know how to report the current military situation to the prince......
