Chapter 214: Li Siye reuses the plan
An hour later, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army finally finished cleaning the battlefield, more than 2,500 beheaded in this battle, more than 6,700 surrendered, Danyang soldiers and horses were also an emergency march, only carrying dry rations, so there were not many captures, and hundreds of Danyang soldiers have been buried in the river, I don't know where they were washed by the river, Li Siye was in a hurry to use the soldiers and did not have time to search and salvage those corpses, two thousand iron cavalry brought back the soldiers who were lucky to survive, Li Siye did not pay attention to this matter.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, Li Siye took Wu Jing and selected a few clever soldiers, leaving two thousand soldiers and horses to take care of the rest of the soldiers, and then led the rest of the army to continue to go straight to the direction of Xuancheng County. The ambush place of Li Siye's army was not far from the Chaisang Naval Division, and the army continued to march for two hours and finally came to the vicinity of the Chaisang Naval Division's camp.
Li Siye's army came all the way and did not hide its tracks, and soon was discovered by the scouts of the Chaisang Water Division, and the scouts of the Chaisang Water Division were very surprised after learning that the incoming army turned out to be the Tiger Ben Army of Li Siye's department, shouldn't the Tiger Ben Army be far away from here, how could they suddenly come here?
Fortunately, Li Siye had guarded Chaisang before, and most of the Chaisang sailors had also seen Li Siye's appearance, so there was no trouble, Li Siye ordered the Chaisang sailors to lead the way in front and bring the army to the vicinity of the Chaisang Sailor camp, but Li Siye did not lead the army into the camp, but made the soldiers and horses of the headquarters temporarily rest in place, and Li Siye himself took Wu Jing and a team of guards directly to the Ganning camp.
Gan Ning received the report of the scout, and learned that Li Siye had already come out of the camp to greet him, so he bowed his hand slightly, and said: "I have seen General Li, I don't know why the general led the army here?" ”
Li Siye dismounted and bowed back, and said: "Danyang soldiers and horses from Lishui, Gaochun line troops, want to cooperate with Wanling soldiers and horses to raid your rear wing, I led the army to set up an ambush in Gaochun, beheaded 3,000 and surrendered 6,000 to break its army, Danyang Taishou Wu Jing surrendered, Danyang soldiers and horses were annihilated, Wanling soldiers and horses did not know about the defeat of the Danyang army, I want to send a reliable soldier to contact it, so that he can raid your camp in the early morning, and then I will kill the water army from the rear, and I will be able to defeat it in one fell swoop, what does General Gan think?" ”
Gan Ning is a peerless general, after getting Yue Fei's teaching, the military strategy is even more extraordinary, in a moment, Gan Ning thought clearly about Li Siye's plan, he must not go to besiege Danyang City according to the plan, but divided his troops to set up an ambush and defeated the Danyang soldiers and horses in one fell swoop, if it is expected, Danyang City has also been occupied by Li Siye's army at this time.
However, Li Siye did this, it is also a good thing for himself, Jiangdong general Zhu Zhi is not an easy person, and the Jiangdong Sailor Division's soldiers and horses are still above his own Chaisang Sailor Division, he can only rely on the pass to stop it and can not defeat it, and now Li Siye led the army to come, it can be regarded as an opportunity to win himself to defeat the Wanling soldiers and horses in one fell swoop, if the operation is done properly, he should be able to lead the army to conquer Wanling City, if so, his own merits will be much louder.
Although Gan Ning has been taught by Yue Fei, his personality is much more modest, but in general, he is still an unruly personality, when he fights like this, he can only lead the army to trap one side, he is naturally unwilling in his heart, he used to act on military orders and had to do it, but now that he has a better choice, Gan Ning will naturally not miss it.
Gan Ning laughed a few times and said, "Hahahaha, General Li destroyed the Danyang soldiers and horses in one fell swoop to conquer Danyang City and break the deadlock on the battlefield, which can be described as a great achievement!" In the next place, I am willing to act on the orders of the general! ”
Li Siye asked Wu Jing to be taken out, and said: "I still have to continue the march, it is inconvenient to take this person with me, and General Lao Gan will keep him in the camp." ”
Gan Ning responded with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter, it's easy to say." Now that General Li has arrived at our camp, do you want to go in and rest for a while? ”
Li Siye shook his head with a smile, and said: "The Jiangdong army must have an ambush outside your camp, and our army can't pass through it directly, and our army needs to detour a distance to reach the rear wing of your camp. However, please also ask the general to send me a few scouts who are familiar with the terrain so that I can guide my army. ”
"Well, Gan Jian, you go and lead the way for General Li, I'm tired of the general, take care!"
"Take care, there will be a period later!"
Li Siye handed over Wu Jing to Gan Ning, and then led his troops to leave the Chaisang Sailor Battalion to return to his own army, Li Siye's army under the leadership of Gan Jian, bypassed this pass and ambushed the area between the Chaisang Sailor Battalion and the county seat of Xuancheng County, Gan Jian is Gan Ning's scout army, and he knows the nearby terrain very well, and the chosen place is hidden and safe, not far from the Chaisang Sailor Battalion, which is just suitable for Li Siye's army to ambush.
After arriving at the garrison, Li Siye asked the soldiers selected before to find them, and the people selected by Li Siye were none other than the envoys sent by Wu Jing to Zhu Zhi's army before.
After the soldiers were brought in, Li Siye ordered: "You immediately take someone to Xuancheng County to meet Zhu Zhi, and ask him to lead the army to raid the camp of the Chaisang Water Division in the early hours of this morning, and say that your Taishou has led the army to arrive, as long as his army attacks, your Taishou will take the opportunity to seize the camp!" ”
Wu Jing's envoy's family members and relatives are all in Danyang City, whether life or death is all in Li Siye's thoughts, he naturally did not dare to resist Li Siye's military order, and hurriedly responded: "The villain will live up to the general's trust!" ”
Li Siye nodded slightly, and said again, "The life and death of your family and your family are all tied to you, if you can successfully let Zhu Zhi send troops on this trip, there will be a heavy reward, and you will be rewarded with 100 gold!" As long as you are careful, the danger of this trip is not high, and you can also get out of the matter by reporting the military situation to your family Taishou afterwards! If you dare to talk nonsense and harm my big things, the Nine Clans will be exterminated mercilessly!! ”
The soldiers hurriedly bowed: "Don't worry, general, we know the severity, and we will never miss the general's major event!! ”
Li Siye saw that everyone looked frightened and sincere, so he put his mind at ease and said, "Okay, you can go now, when this battle is over, you will have your own benefits!" ”。
"No, we'll take !! order"
These soldiers hurriedly bowed down and agreed, rode the war horses prepared for them by Li Siye, and went straight to the direction of the county seat of Xuancheng County.
