Chapter 69: Flanks

The current situation is extremely critical, and it is absolutely impossible to expect that the white-clothed army will only come with 1oooo cavalry, and everything can only be considered for the worst. To delay time, to move his main force to the east of the Bianhe River and south of Baigou, this requires taking out his most elite troops to go head-to-head with the white-clothed army.

Ma Yun's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Shi Da listens to the order. ”

"The last general!" Shi Da took a step across, clenched his fists and saluted.

"You lead the 1oooo army to intercept the white-clothed army in the west of the city, and cover the retreat of the main force of our army to the Bianhe River."

"Obey!"

"Li Ergou, you lead the 1oooo Praetorian Guards to deploy defenses in Qingcheng Town, 5 miles south of the city, to cover the safety of our army's flank."

"The last will obey."

Ma Yun said again: "The rest of the people immediately moved to move towards the Bianhe. Well, by the way, send someone to inform Wang Quanbin and order him to lead the army to cross Baigou south and move closer to the main force of our army. ”

"Obey!"

With the issuance of Ma Yun's military order, the entire Chu army camp became lively, and the sergeants who had just fallen asleep were woken up one after another, packed their luggage and prepared to retreat eastward. The sweet dream was woken up, even if he was a humble person, he was dissatisfied in his heart, not to mention that these Qiu Bamen had been working extremely hard for several days, and many people burst into foul language. The old troops of the Chu army, due to their strict discipline, performed better, but the newly expanded army in Songzhou was a little difficult to control. After Qian Qing heard about it, he took his giant axe and cut down a few troublesome sergeants with a black face, so that the sergeants were temporarily suppressed.

But the news still reached Ma Yun's ears, and Zhao Pu on the side said: "Your Majesty, now is a critical moment, these newly joined sergeants will fight with the wind, then there is naturally no problem, but once the situation deteriorates, their loyalty and combat effectiveness will not dare to pack tickets." ”

For this kind of problem, Ma Yun is also extremely headache. In this era, it is very difficult to truly be disciplined and prohibited. If it is a veteran of the Chu army, they understand the discipline of the Chu army, and it is easy to manage, if it is a new soldier, as long as there are veterans who are pressed, they will not be able to make any trouble. However, the crux of the matter lies in the newly surrendered Zhou soldiers absorbed in Songzhou, who are all veteran ruffians and old fritters. He doesn't care if it's soft, and if it's hard, I'm afraid it will provoke their resistance. Qian Qing's return seems very simple, but if there are no large number of Chu troops around, those who surrender may not be afraid of Qian Qing.

Ma Yun had a gloomy face and asked, "Zhao Aiqing, what good plan do you have?" ”

Zhao Pu looked around and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is better to let these people replace the Praetorian Guards and defend the white-clothed army in the south of the city. Keep the Praetorian Guard by your side to make sure you go. ”

Ma Yun was stunned, even if the Praetorian Guard is not the elite of the Chu army, it is also one of the elite troops of the Chu army, and the sergeants inside are all Jingxiang disciples with strong roots, and their loyalty is completely reliable. Ma Yun transferred them to the front line, which was naturally reluctant, but the safety of the flanks was also very important.

The white-clothed army came with cavalry, which had strong mobility and would definitely not attack only from the front of the Chu army camp in the west of the city, but it was possible to make a detour back to the south of the city. Moreover, if the plan of the white-clothed army was to completely defeat the Chu army under Bianjing City, and break through from the west of the city, it would be completely impossible. It must be inserted into the Chu army from the flank, echoing the white-clothed army in the west of the city, so as to completely disrupt the retreating Chu army, to cause the panic of the Chu army, so that the Chu army can be completely defeated. In other words, the security of the flanks was much heavier than the security of the front of the camp west of the city.

Ma Yun shook his head and said: "No, what we have to do is to consider the safety of the entire army, if these soldiers are replaced and go to the front line, they are now tired and complaining, but under the charge of the white-clothed army, in case of a crisp defeat, we will be completely finished." To them, we still have to appease them, let's go, let's go and see the situation. Ma Yun was about to go out as he spoke, and after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped, and changed his words: "Come on, bring Liu Yibin and the generals who surrendered, I have something to say to them." ”

Zhao Pu, who was following Ma Yun and was about to advise Ma Yun, listened to Ma Yun's words and couldn't help but take a deep look at Ma Yun's back, this emperor is becoming more and more mature. What time is it, and how can he venture lightly? Or summon a few of their generals and detain them completely. In this way, there will no longer be any people with enough prestige among the troops, and those troops will naturally be easier to control. If the army is surrendered to rebel, not necessarily a few people will follow, but if it is a rebellion, the incitement will be much greater.

As soon as Li Ergou arrived in Qingcheng with the Praetorian Guards, a scout came to report: "Bing, ten miles in front of the general, a large number of cavalry appeared, and those cavalry were all from the Zhou army. In fact, there is no need for a scout report, Li Ergou can guess about it, because in the quiet of the night, the sound of horses' hooves can be faintly heard. After a long battle, he could already tell from the sound of the horse's hooves, whether it was a few, a hundred, or even a thousand. The chaotic sound of horses' hooves has shown that there are at least thousands of horses, or even tens of thousands.

Li Ergou shouted: "Give me a round formation to prepare for battle." He himself climbed high and looked into the distance, wanting to see what the attacking army was attacking in that direction. Suddenly, his heart sank, and his mind was buzzing, this... What should I do?

He suddenly realized that there was a large flat land near this green town. The enemy is cavalry, and he concentrates his forces in a circle, and the enemy roars and roars away, how can he chase them? Besides, His Majesty the Emperor gave himself an order to ensure the safety of the flanks, and if the enemy just passed by himself and rushed straight to the camp south of the city, then... Then he was chopped alive, and he could not atone for his sins.

"The herald was to form a circle in all directions, and the distance between them should not exceed a stone's throw from each other, with the sword and hand outside, and the archers inside. Shoot as much as you can when the enemy rushes at you. Kindness... By the way, set up a tripwire between the battalions to keep me at bay. Today, General Ben wants to let the white-clothed army know how powerful the Praetorian Guard is! When we win this battle, His Majesty the Emperor will reward us heavily, and it is not a problem to seal our wives and sons. Don't you all want to add a title of glory to your ancestors and sergeant ranks, and now the opportunity has come! Li Ergou said loudly.
