Chapter 116: Divide the Troops into Battle
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
That night, Liu Xuan stayed at Deng Chen's house, and the next morning, Zhen Fu wanted to lead the army to set off, but something went wrong with Liu Xuan's side, which disrupted his arrangement.
The more than 700 people brought by Liu Xuan wanted armor but no armor, weapons but no weapons, how could they go to the battlefield to fight, and how could they go to quell the rebellion with the county army?
Under the protest of dissatisfaction, Liu Xuan went to Zhen Fu and asked him for armor and weapons.
This time, the county army did bring a lot of baggage, but even if there was extra armor and weapons, they could not be given to Liu Xuan's subordinates in vain. Liu Xuan didn't really want a full set, he retreated and said to Zhen Fu: "My lord, even if you don't issue armor to the brothers, at least you should give the brothers a decent set of clothes, right?" Otherwise, the brothers and the brothers of the county army will walk together, and they will lose the face of adults, and those who don't know will be returned
Why are you mean to us brothers! ”
His words made Zhen Fu speechless, and after thinking about it, he finally agreed to distribute new clothes to Liu Fu's subordinates.
This is not the end, and then Liu Xuan said: "My lord, if you want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, you can't go without weapons and fight the rebels with your bare hands, right?" ”
Zhen Fu glared at Liu Xuan, you really kicked your nose in the face! After I finished asking for new clothes and weapons, I came to you to ask you to cooperate with the county army to fight, not to distribute equipment to you!
But what Liu Jiu said is also the truth, most of his subordinates do not have decent weapons, only hold sticks, and some do not even have weapons, so how can they go into battle to kill the enemy?
In the end, Zhen Fu could only reluctantly agree to Liu Xuan's request, and distributed weapons to his subordinates.
It was not easy to make hundreds of sets of clothes, and as a result, the delay caused a day to pass.
In fact, Liu Xuan didn't plan to really help Zhen Fu to fight, and he didn't need weapons and new clothes, but he felt that since he was here, there was no reason not to let Zhen Fu have some blood.
Moreover, an extra day of delay is equivalent to buying one more day for the Green Forest Army to evacuate.
As Liu Xiu said, the Green Forest Army is not their enemy, whether it is public or private, the Green Forest Army can be regarded as their allies, and they should not watch the Green Forest Army being wiped out by the county army.
It wasn't until the third day that Zhen Fu led the county army and Liu Xuan's subordinates to set off from Xinye and go all the way south, heading straight to Xinshi and Pinglin.
The army marched during the day, and when it was dark, Zhen Fu ordered to set up camp in the wilderness.
In the tent of the Chinese army. Zhen Fu sat in the center, and on either side of him were Cen Peng, Lu Zhi and several school captains, in addition to Liu Xuan, Liu Xiu, Deng Feng, Deng Yu and others were also there.
Zhen Fu asked people to take the map and spread it on the handsome case, he stood up, looked down at the map, and asked, "Tell me, how will our army fight this battle?" ”
Everyone gathered around the handsome case, looking down at the map, and a lieutenant said: "My lord, our army can be divided into two ways, all the way to attack Xinshi, all the way to attack Pinglin, both prongedly, so that the rebels are difficult to take care of!" Zhen Fu nodded as he listened. As soon as the lieutenant's voice fell, another lieutenant said, "No! The rebels are numerous, our army is few and lonely, the rebels can hold on to the city, our army needs to storm the walled city, the rebels are waiting for work, our army is a long journey, in such an unfavorable situation, our army
It is even more impossible to divide troops into battles, and it is necessary to concentrate troops to have the certainty of victory! ”
Thinking about it carefully, Zhen Fu felt that what this captain said was also very reasonable. Several lieutenants expressed their own opinions, some supported the division of troops to fight, and some opposed it, and the two sides held their own words and disputed.
Zhen Fu was so noisy by them, he turned his head to look at Lu Zhi and asked, "Bowen, what do you think?" ”
Lu Zhi smiled slightly and said: "A mere rebel army, even if there are many people, it is only a rabble, even if the enemy has 10,000 and our army is 1,000, our army can easily win!" ”
When Zhen Fu heard this, he felt happy from the inside out, and he asked with a smile: "Bowen, tell me, how do you think our army should fight this battle!" "First of all, our army can use the tactics of suspicious soldiers to make the illusion that our army is going to storm Xinshi. The next step is to lure the snake out of the hole. Xinshi was attacked, and the Pinglin rebels were bound to come to the rescue. Our army can divide an elite in advance, ambush between Xinshi and Pinglin, and wait for Pinglin reinforcements to enter the ambush place, you can take it by surprise, attack it unprepared, and surround it, but to do it without annihilation, lead the Xinshi rebels out of the city to help, this is the encirclement point to help! The real and only advantage of the rebels over our army is the geographical advantage, as long as they go out of the city and lose the advantage of the geographical advantage, they will be with me outside the city
In the battle, even if there are more than 10,000 enemies, in the eyes of the last general, they are just more than 10,000 lambs to be slaughtered, and it is easy to kill them all! ”
Lu Zhi talked endlessly about his tactics, Zhen Fu listened with great energy, his eyebrows fluttering, on the other hand, Liu Zhuo, on the surface, looked like he was listening carefully, but in fact, he was shocked into a cold sweat.
He never knew that the original war could still be fought like this, suspicious tactics, luring snakes out of holes, encircling points to send reinforcements, so many tactics were completely integrated, one link after another, which was unguardable.
If you are not in the camp of the county army at this time, if you are in the rebel camp at this time, I am afraid that you will also fall into Lu Zhi's tricks!
When he joined the rebel army in Yizhou, Liu Xuan didn't feel that there was much gap between himself and the regular army, and now he really felt how big the gap was.
After listening to Lu Zhi's tactics, Liu Xiu also nodded secretly, no wonder Lu Zhi became a partial general at a young age, this person's treachery in using soldiers is indeed outstanding!
After Lu Zhi finished talking about his tactics, the captains present all showed admiration and nodded in agreement. Zhen Fu smiled, looked at Cen Peng, and asked, "Junran, what do you think of Bowen's plan?" ”
No matter how perfect the plan of others is, and how much he agrees with himself, in the end, he will definitely consult Cen Peng's opinion. Zhen Fu's personal ability may not be very good, but he does have a good eye for people.
Cen Peng pondered for a moment, and said to Zhen Fu Zhengse: "General Lu is very good! Cen Peng is a very cautious and arrogant person, but even so, he can't find anything wrong with Lu Zhi's schemes.
Hearing that Cen Peng also agreed with Lu Zhi's plan, Zhen Fu laughed, stroked his palm and said, "Good, very good!" In this battle, we will fight according to UBM's strategy! ”
As he spoke, he couldn't hide his excitement and said, "Bowen, tell me more about your plan!" ”
Lu Zhi bent down and pointed his fingers on the map while explaining his plan in detail.
There was nothing to say that night, and the next day, the army set out from the village and continued south.
However, this time their southward movement has become a three-way army.
One route is commanded by Lu Zhi, with a strength of 2,000, and this road is also the real main force of the whole army. On this road, the horsemen did not take the main road, but took the small road instead, and secretly went to the area between the new city and the peace forest to set up an ambush. The second way, commanded by Liu Xuan, Liu Xiu, Deng Feng and others, the main force is the hundreds of subordinates brought by Liu Xuan, their task is to use the civilian clothes they wear, disguise themselves as ordinary people, and secretly infiltrate Xinshi City, as long as the rebels in the city fall into Lu Zhi's plan, go out of the city to aid Ping
Lin army, they can suddenly attack in the city, kill all the remaining rebels, and capture Xinshi in one fell swoop.
The third road, commanded by Zhen Fu and Cen Peng, has a strength of 1,000. Their task along the way is to act as suspicious soldiers, although there are only a thousand people, but they have to make an effect of three or four thousand people. In ancient warfare, this kind of suspicious tactics was often used, how to do it? In fact, it is very simple, when the soldiers are marching, the distance can be as wide as possible, and then the soldiers hold the flag in their hands, and they have to carry the flag behind their backs.
When the battle flag is really unfurled, the embroidered ribbon is fluttering, and a thousand troops can completely camouflage the effect of three or four thousand people.
200,000 people, with flags in their hands and flags behind their backs, will often claim to be a million-strong army, which can greatly deter the enemy army in terms of momentum. This is also a common trick on the battlefield.
Among the people of Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu, there were also some county troops, but there were not many of them, only fifty people, and the highest rank was a captain.
This captain has no command over this group of people, but has to obey Liu Xuan's orders.
Zhen Fu sent these dozens of county soldiers to mix in Liu Xuan's team, not to supervise them, but to worry that they had no combat experience, and it would be unfavorable to fight in the city, which would affect their overall plan.
Of course, they also have another secret mission, taking advantage of the chaos to kill Deng Feng.
When Zhen Fu decided to take Deng Feng to quell the rebellion, he didn't plan to let Deng Feng go back alive.
Let's say that Liu Xuan, Liu Xiu and his party, they can't all enter Xinshi City at once, the goal is too big, and it is too easy to arouse suspicion, they are divided into pieces, scattered, and enter Xinshi City in groups of three or five.
Xinshi City is not very large, originally the population in the city was only a few thousand, but after the Green Forest Army occupied Xinshi City, there were not only more than 3,000 more Green Forest Army in the city, but also a lot of displaced people came one after another, and now the number of people in the city is almost 20,000.
A small city with only a few thousand people has now suddenly become 20,000 people, and the crowding in the city can be imagined.
Although the city was full of ragged homeless people, no starving people were found on the roadside, and even in a big city like Shinno, the corpses of starving homeless people are often seen on the roadside.
Regarding the governance of the Green Forest Army in Xinshi City, Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu nodded secretly and praised it well. However, both of them were worried that the Green Forest Army had not yet evacuated Xinshi.
When they were wandering around the city, they just in time for the county government to give porridge.
Many homeless people on the street hurriedly ran to the county government with broken bowls, shouting loudly as they ran: "Put the porridge away!" The Green Forest Army has released porridge! Hurry up, everybody! ”
Looking at the crowd running around and listening to the shouts of the people, Liu Jiu touched his stomach and said to the left and right: "Let's go over and get a bowl of porridge to drink!" ”
The county army commander who followed them hurriedly grabbed Liu Xuan and dissuaded him in a low voice: "Absolutely not! Brother Bosheng, we can't eat the food of the rebels! ”
Liu Xuan pursed the corners of his lips and asked, "Brother, are you hungry?" ”
"Uh...... "It's strange if you're not hungry!" They had a meal in the morning, and now it's almost evening, how can they not be hungry? The county army commander couldn't help but swallow.
"Don't eat the food of the rebels? Do we have the money to buy food? ”
The most expensive thing now is food, especially in Xinshi, which is overcrowded, and food is even more expensive.
The commander of the county army subconsciously touched his pocket and smiled bitterly, as far as the money on him is concerned, whether it is enough to buy a steamed bun!
Liu Xuan patted him on the shoulder, shook his head and said, "Let's go, brother, we can't fight hungry!" Besides, if you don't say it, if I don't say it, who will know that we have drunk the porridge of the rebels? ”
Zhu You muttered: "If every grain of rice is engraved with the word rebel, Lao Tzu will not drink it!" "It's not rough! Let's go, let's drink porridge and go! Liu Xuan shook his head at everyone and took the lead in walking towards the county office.
