Chapter 367: The Battle Situation
Lu Chen planned to use the Jing army as bait to annihilate part of the main force of the company's army, but he underestimated Xu Jin.
The main battalion in the rear of the company army.
Hearing that his subordinates reported that Long Zhan had evacuated Wuzhen, and was good at making claims, leaving an empty city for the Feng Army, Xu Jin was furious, and he took the case and said: "Puff Dragon War!" Bad for me! ”
Seeing that he was angry, the generals of the even army in the tent glanced at each other, and a partial general said cautiously: "Xu Shuai, General Long didn't leave anything for the Feng Army, and he was also thinking about our army." ”
"Fart!" Xu Jin said coldly: "Wouldn't it be clear to tell the Feng Army that our side is ready to retreat!" With the treachery of the Wind King, will he not be able to see it!? ”
Yes!? When all the generals heard this, they all opened their mouths, and the partial general asked tentatively: "Then, will our army still act according to the previous strategy in the future?" ”
"Let's wait." Xu Jin waved his hand and said.
At this moment, a general in charge of military intelligence walked in with a curtain, and after coming in, he knelt down on one knee and intervened in Shi Li: "Xu Shuai, there is news from Wuzhen." ”
"Oh?" Xu Jin's spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "Can the Feng Army continue to go deep into the hinterland of our country?" ”
The general said: "Not yet, but the information I have now received is that the Feng Army is still stationed in Wuzhen to rest, and there is no next move." ”
"That's it! Ben Shuai knows! Speaking of this, Xu Jin took another deep breath and said, "It seems that the Wind King has been alerted, and now that the Dragon War has been badly planned, it is time to change the strategy of using troops." ”
He was the commander of the whole army, commanding an army of 800,000 troops, sitting in the rear, looking at the overall situation, commanding this battle, and it is not difficult to see his military talent.
He stood up from his position, paced back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back, and after a while, he said: "Immediately pass the book to Zaocheng, tell Zhang Xian, let him continue to hold the city!" ”
"In addition, add 50,000 troops to the Dragon War, and the next city must withstand the attack of the wind army!"
"General Wu's side, let the Qing Army and the Yan Army come in!"
He ordered one after another, and the generals in charge of transmitting the information wrote them down one by one, and after he finished speaking, someone asked: "Xu Shuai, where should the Qing Army and the Yan Army be put in?" ”
"Let them come to the city of Yongzhou!" Xu Jin said directly.
"What!?" When the generals heard this, they were shocked, and some generals said in a trembling voice: "No, Xu Shuai!" If the Qing army and the Yan army are under the capital of our country, the country will definitely panic, and our country will also be in danger! ”
"What a danger!" Xu Jin said categorically: "In this war, the victory or defeat can be determined by the gains and losses of one city and one pool!" The reason why this commander is like this, firstly, is that he is proud of his soldiers, and secondly, he wants to fight a decisive battle with the Qingyan and Qingyan armies outside the capital, and defeat the two armies in one fell swoop! ”
"......"
"Nothing!" Xu Jin said: "Immediately pass on the commander's military order!" ”
"No...... Promise! ”
Because of Wuzhen, Xu Jin immediately changed his strategy and decided to fight a decisive battle with Qingyan's two armies first, and with his military order, the situation on the entire battlefield changed in an instant.
First of all, on the side of the wind army, Lu Chen originally led 150,000 wind troops to continue the march, but the next city after crossing Wuzhen was resisted to the death by 80,000 company troops!
On the Jing army's side, they continued to stay outside Zaocheng, waiting for the main force of the company to take the initiative to attack, but in Zaocheng, there was no increase in troops, and Zhang Xian led 40,000 companies to garrison.
On the other hand, the two armies of Qingyan are two-pronged, attacking the city and pulling out the village one after another, all the way like a bamboo, only two months of effort, it has penetrated into the hinterland of the country, and approached the capital.
At this time, the main force of the company army outside Yongzhou, totaling 650,000, Xu Jin did not wait for the Qing army and the Yan army to join forces, but when the two armies were about to hit the capital, he immediately ordered to directly surround the city where the Yan army was located with 400,000 company troops.
In this case, Zhao Jin was a little panicked, at the beginning, he was still complacent about being the first to enter the capital of Lianguo and plunder the wealth inside, but now, the army is besieging the city, and he sent an urgent letter to Qingwang as soon as possible.
After receiving his letter, King Qing consulted with the generals in the tent, in fact, at this time, Lu Chen and King Jing had already begun to advance to the hinterland of Lian State, but under Lu Chen's proposal, the two armies were slowly marching and did not rush to the capital.
In the big tent of the Qing army, the Qing King said: "Now the Feng army and the Jing army are far away from here, and the Yan army is besieged by the Lianguo army, if our army does not support the Yan army, I am afraid that the Yan army will be in danger." ”
Yue Heng said: "King, the reason why Xu Jin deliberately besieged but did not attack was that his intention was obvious, that is, he wanted our army to go to support, and he intended to besiege the city to send reinforcements, I am afraid that he would have set up an ambush in the middle of the road!" ”
"You mean that our army has abandoned the Yan army?" Qingwang asked with an eyebrow.
Shangguan Jin said: "Why are the Wind King and King Jing slowly marching now, instead of rushing to approach Liandu? According to Weichen's opinion, I am afraid that this is their intention, and they have already seen that Xu Jin deliberately retreated all the way to induce the Qingyan and the two armies to go deep into the hinterland of Lianguo. ”
Hearing this, Qingwang took a deep breath and said, "Wind King Lu Chen, it's really hateful! At the beginning, he said that he would go hand in hand, but he and King Jing deliberately delayed their progress, so that our Qing Army and Yan Army encountered the main force of the Lian Army! ”
"This can't be blamed on them, because this is Xu Jin's strategic plan, holding on to one side and backing down on the other." Shangguan Jin added.
"So what should our army do now?" Qingwang asked again.
Shangguan Jin thought for a while, then looked at Yue Heng on the side, and said with a slight smile: "In front of General Yue Heng, Wei Chen didn't dare to say much about the use of soldiers. ”
"Prime Minister Shangguan is too humble, and the last general will be afraid." Yue Heng hurriedly said politely.
"Let's talk about whether you want to support the Yan army or not." Qingwang looked at Yue Heng again.
Yue Heng groaned for a moment and said: "It must not be able to support, the best way at present is for our army to stay here, neither advance nor retreat, and wait for the Feng Army and the Jing Army." ”
Qingwang nodded slightly, then paused, but suddenly smiled again and said:
"Yongzhou is close at hand, the two armies of Feng and Jing are far apart, and the Yan army, now besieged by the army, is just able to drag the main force of Lianguo for us, this is the time when our Qing army captures Yongzhou!"
Hearing this, Yue Heng thought about it and persuaded: "King, although the words are good, but Weichen still thinks that it is best not to rush into the army again, Xu Jin is a famous general in the world, he dares to plan such a big battle, he must have calculated every step, I guess, Yongzhou is not so easy to attack." ”
