Chapter 32: Bait
Chapter 32: Bait
Zhang Xuan didn't need Zheng Lian to tell him. Almost after snatching the information, I took a closer look at it. But after a while, Zhang Xuan smiled, and secretly said in his heart: "Luo Dai is Luo Dai, and the brain circuit is different from others." ”
Zheng Lian said: "General Luo has asked for help, how does the general respond." ”
"Response?" Zhang Xuan said: "Since it's fishing, you have to let the fish bite a little tighter, in a hurry?" There is no hurry. ”
Zheng Lian couldn't hear Zhang Xuan's bad taste, but Luo Dai was also depressed at the moment.
As Zhang Xuan had speculated before, Luo Dai fell into this situation by himself.
Before Luo Dai, he had been active in the north of the Miluo River, and He Tengjiao used the Miluo River as a natural barrier to block Luo Dai. While Luo Dai was slippery, he didn't dare to stay in one place for too long, lest he be caught by He Tengjiao.
The difference in speed between the cavalry and the infantry, coupled with the extraordinary combat effectiveness of Luo Dai's department, made He Tengjiao have to form a large group to move forward.
But after Luo Dai got the information that Zhang Xuan's army was heading south, his mind changed.
Luo Dai's appetite has always been big, and his courage is never small, and the first thing he thought of was how to swallow He Tengjiao's department in one bite.
Only then did he discover a problem, that is, because of intercepting him, He Tengjiao's department was distributed on a narrow and long front, that is, even if the army suddenly attacked, it could not swallow He Tengjiao's department for a while. At most, just swallow one.
Luo Dai thought about how to gather He Tengjiao's department.
All he thought of was using his body as bait.
So he ventured across the Miluo River and confronted He Tengjiao on the south bank of the Miluo River. In the midst of the confrontation, He Tengjiao transferred all the people and horses of all the departments, and for a while, Luo Dai faced about 50,000 people, almost all of He Tengjiao's troops.
As soon as there are more people, the pressure on Luo Dai will be greater.
Although Luo Dai achieved his goal, gathered He Tengjiao's troops, and also chose a place close to Dongting Lake, so that after Zhang Xuan's reinforcements came, he could go ashore directly, kick He Tengjiao's buttocks, and under the front and back attacks, he would naturally win a big victory.
But the idea is very good, but if it lasts until Zhang Xuan comes over, it will be a problem.
Luo Dai stood on the watchtower, and behind him was the famous Miluo River, the Miluo River that Qu Yuan jumped into, and the Miluo River where he wanted to eat zongzi. Ahead, however, was tightly sealed by several large battalions.
In Zhang Xuan's opinion, He Tengjiao is no more than Erer. That's because Zhang Xuan has fought more battles and seen more. Naturally, I can't look down on He Tengjiao. But He Tengjiao can also be regarded as a soldier and a civil minister, depending on the situation, it is also stable. There are not many faults.
And at this moment, He Tengjiao is urging all the departments to storm Luo Dai.
Although the department of Luo Dai is
Cavalry, but not cavalry will not be put on guard, on the contrary. Although the number of Luo Dai's subordinates is not large, most of them are old people from Cao Ying, and they are extremely experienced in fighting Ali, even if they are surrounded, they are still not in a hurry.
There is a good temperament.
Seeing the Ming army attacking, they were not moved at all, and when they rushed to the bottom of the village, they counterattacked with firearms, bows and arrows. For a while, the suppression of the Ming army could not be attacked. And Luo Dai squinted one eye and looked carefully, as if he was observing the morale of the Ming army.
Naturally, the Ming army did not engrave morale values on the door of their heads. However, this is judged based on the specific details, as well as the tenacity of the Ming army, combined with Luo Dai's own experience.
The battle lasted about half an hour. Luo Dai's heart moved, and he said secretly: "It's hot enough." ”
He immediately got off the watchtower, took more than a thousand horsemen around him, and with a whistle, put down a section of the wall. Rushed out.
As far as Luo Dai himself is concerned, although he has commanded more than 10,000 troops, the best he commands is still a cavalry assault battle of about 1,000 cavalry, or even a little less. He himself liked to fight such battles the most, and he hardly had to command. It's almost self-indulgence.
More than 1,000 horsemen were like a sharp blade, turning over in the battle formation of the Ming army. Everywhere they passed, they were smashed. He Tengjiao even sent some only cavalry to intercept him. Luo Dai first retreated, causing chase, and then suddenly killed a horse pistol. Directly defeated the Ming cavalry.
Luo Dai and Zhang Xuan are completely different conducting styles.
Zhang Xuan went step by step, collected intelligence in advance, almost required everything to be detailed, and then specified a plan, step by step, interlocking. In most cases, Zhang Xuan has a plan. Most of what he dealt with on the battlefield was some unexpected situation.
And Luo Dai has never had a fixed plan, and the war has always been caused by sex. It's easy to do. Feel ahead of decision-making. But he is in the middle of the battlefield, and he has a keen sense of smell. In many cases, you can see the clues at a glance.
It's just a good deal. He doesn't necessarily know what he's going to do next.
However, this feeling of Luo Dai also limited his ability. Luo Dai's ability allowed him to be fully affirmed in a small-scale battle, but within a certain range of the expansion of the war, people's six senses were not enough to feel all the information on the entire battlefield.
It became a burden to him.
So for so long, although the men and horses under Luo Dai's command are very elite, there have not been many, and this is the reason.
He doesn't have the ability to lead an army.
But on this battlefield, it's quite enough.
Luo Dai's counterattack is not the first time, nor is it the last. But every time the timing was seized, it was good, so that the Ming army had no way at all. Perhaps He Tengjiao, as a civilian leader, has a natural flaw in the command of the battle, facing a tactical master like Luo Dai. Naturally, they are holding back.
It can only be withdrawn
Returned.
A war came to an end.
Although this battle was won, Luo Dai was not very happy. He even wondered if he had done something wrong. Even if he thwarted the Ming army's attacks again and again, the situation in which the enemy was strong and we were weak did not change at all. This kind of passive beating situation made Luo Dai very unaccustomed.
With Luo Dai's temperament, he has always scored other people's points, and there is no time when others beat him.
It's no wonder he's happy.
"General, the prince of the country has sent someone." An officer said as he walked to Luo Dai's side.
Luo Dai's eyebrows raised, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said secretly: "My life of being passively beaten is coming to an end." He asked, "Who's coming?" ”
"Me." One person said, Luo Dai saw that it was none other than Deng He.
Luo Dai was overjoyed and said, "Old Deng, why are you?" ”
Deng He said: "Why is it not me? The general sent someone else, lest you believe it, so he sent me. ”
Although Zhang Xuan is already Zheng Guogong, he is a general of the Southern Expedition. But in the mouth of the old subordinates, they are still willing to be called generals.
Deng He and Luo Dai are old acquaintances, and the two came to Zhang Xuanjun together as Luo Yujiao's dowry. After so many years, they are in a high position. The friendship is not bad.
Luo Dai said: "Okay, when the general will send someone over, I can't hold on a little anymore." ”
Deng He said: "The general said that you, since you volunteered to be bait. You have to be patient, the fish won't pull the rod if you don't bite tightly. ”
Luo Dai listened, pointed in the direction of the Ming army's camp, and said, "Isn't this still important?" Tighten it tighter and I'll be swallowed. ”
Deng He said: "Don't worry, the general won't let you be swallowed." However, the general wants to do more than just this place, so he needs to be a little more prepared. ”
Luo Dai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "The general takes a fancy to Linxiang? ”
"Yes." Deng He said: "The general is ready to work together on both sides to take down Linxiang in one fell swoop." So the preparation time is a little longer, tomorrow night, I'll come and help you, you have to be ready. Won't you be unable to hold on overnight? ”
Luo Dai said: "How come? No problem, isn't it just overnight? ”
Deng He said: "And the general asked me to bring you a word." ”
"Oh?" Luo Dai said: "What words? ”
Deng He coughed twice, imitated Zhang Xuan's tone and said: "Crazy Luo has made great progress, and he knows how to use his brain, after this battle is over, he can stand alone." It seems that his madness has improved a lot? ”
When Luo Dai heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
Zhang Xuan may not feel that his status in the hearts of his subordinates has been very different, and a word of praise and disapproval makes people happy.
