Chapter Twenty-Six: Drag the Knife and Count Two

For a while, Azig had a feeling of impatience in his heart, and he had a feeling that if he couldn't break Xiangyang and go south today, he would want to break Xiangyang in the future. It's not easy to do.

"Newspaper. Master. A man knelt on the ground and said, "Cao Ying is moving." ”

Azig said, "What's going on? ”

"Cao Ying's brigade left the camp and went south." The man said.

Azig sneered in his heart and said, "Lao Shi has also done a good thing. ”

As soon as he thought of what Duoduo had done, Azig felt angry in his heart, and he asked Duoduo to help him find the field, but he didn't want Duoduo to have his own thoughts, and almost at lightning speed, in five days, he broke through more than a thousand miles, so that the news and intelligence in the rear could not catch up with the speed of Duoduo's advance.

The word "fast" has been taken to the extreme.

It's not just Yang Chengzu who can't react, Zhang Xuan can't react, and Azig didn't expect it.

However, fortunately, when Duoduo arrived at the city of Xiangyang, he immediately sent someone to report to Azig, and Azig and Zhang Xuan got the news almost at the same time.

Azig could naturally guess Zhang Xuan's thoughts.

Cao Ying could only choose one direction, and if he wanted to change the strategic direction, he would naturally retreat in a hurry.

It's just that Azig also has a hint of doubt.

The suspicion is that the retreat arranged by Zhang Xuan was too embarrassing, and it can almost be said that he abandoned his armor and fled.

"My subordinates are willing to pursue the thieves for the vanguard." Liu Wu said loudly.

Immediately, more than a dozen generals, large and small, came out of the column together and said.

The doubts in Azig's heart gradually faded, and he secretly said in his heart: "Zhang Xuan is just a kid in his twenties, who has not dried up, but he has only ascended to the position with a little white face, what can he do, the current situation, I am afraid that Zhang Xuan has the heart but is powerless." ”

Azig has fought since he was a child, and he has fought many battles, but none of them were won by the Eight Banners, but the Ming army collapsed on its own, and the Qing army only pursued it behind, as if it was hunting, and easily won a big victory.

However, Azig still had an eye in his heart, and did not let the Eight Banners pursue, but let the new annexed troops from all walks of life pursue.

At the sound of an order, more than a dozen people left the camp one after another. The horse chased after him.

The distance of more than ten miles is almost in the blink of an eye.

They immediately broke into Zhang Xuan's camp.

In Zhang Xuan's camp, it was empty, and many things were left, such as food. Heaps of grain were piled up in a mountain, and just by looking at it in a hurry, you knew that it could feed the Azig army for a while. As soon as the news spread, everyone suddenly felt relieved.

Although there was not much food in the Azig army. It was a little too difficult to transport grain from the rear.

Moreover, Zhang Xuan lost artillery in the last camp, and this camp lost food, which shows that he has completely lost his organization. The rest is naturally to beat the water dogs.

The various departments of the Qing army, at this time, did not talk about any humility, one by one scrambling, you know, when the Qing army was founded, the most important thing was military merits, and there was everything with military merits. And now the military merit is in front of you, just waiting to reach out and pick it up.

They subconsciously felt that the biggest enemy was no longer Zhang Xuan, but their companions to each other.

It is necessary to prevent them from stealing credit.

They continued their pursuit, catching up with the army more than a dozen miles south of the camp.

It's not far from Dahong Mountain.

Looking south from afar, you can already see the undulating mountains of Dahong Mountain.

A nameless river flowed down from Dahong Mountain and headed north, and I don't know where it was going. A lot of wild grass grows wildly, and in some places it can almost block the horse's legs. In such a barren grass, a way was forced out.

This road is nothing else, it is the road that the Xia army pressed north.

And at this moment, on this road, there is no end to the dense vehicles.

The sound of horses' hooves rang out suddenly, and the men pulling the cart immediately panicked and shouted, "The Tartars are coming." ”

He then threw the vehicle down and fled. I ran to the sides in a panic.

These vehicles blocked the road. Therefore, only a small part of these cavalry were left to guard the booty, and most of them swept past the sides of the road and continued to pursue the men. It wasn't long before they saw the right man. A banner is swaggering above the sky.

Zhang Xuan was under the banner, looking at the galloping of thousands of horses in the north, he was slightly nervous in his heart, and said to Cao Zongyu: "It's up to Brother Cao." ”

The towing knife meter is very simple to say, isn't it just a return gun?

But with Zhang Xuan's experience for so many years, he knows that this is the most difficult, because you don't know what a fake collapse is and when your army is a real collapse. A lot of time there is a thin line between truth and falsehood.

It's too dangerous.

If Zhang Xuan was allowed to choose, he would never be willing to use such a risky strategy. He'd rather be steady. Xingtang upright teacher, hit the upright array.

To a certain extent, it is also Zhang Xuan himself who plays up his strengths and avoids his weaknesses.

Zhang Xuan never thought of himself as a genius in the use of soldiers. In the face of the enemy, all you need to do is win the battle that can be won, and drag out the battle that you can't win. More than he can handle. And the current situation has overwhelmed Zhang Xuan.

Had to choose tactics that went beyond the norm.

As for whether it can be victorious, whether it will be a real rout or a fake rout, it is still uncertain. However, the implementation of the plan has not yet gone beyond the framework.

Cao Zongyu smiled slightly and said, "Guogong, please rest assured, you have won the battle at this moment." ”

In Cao Zongyu's view, Zhang Xuan's greatest military talent has never been the ability to march and fight, but the ability to train troops.

Although the Qing army is powerful, but Zhang Xuan's headquarters is not weak, just talking about the middle and lower-level officers, the two have their own strengths, really fight before the battle, hard fighting, the Eight Banners are better than Zhang Xuan's headquarters, after all, the officers tempered by the Eight Banners and the Ming Army for decades are not fake. From the old slave, Huang Taiji, to Fulin Xiaoer, three generations of accumulation, should not be underestimated.

But Zhang Xuan's department should not be underestimated.

Since the founding of the army, Zhang Xuan has attached great importance to the culture of lower-level officers.

Before arriving in Nanjing, Zhang Xuan had to spare a little time to give lectures to junior officers even if he was busy, and if he was not good at cultural classes and did not have much literacy, he could only stay as Zhang Xuan's personal guard, or be assigned other positions, but he could not be an officer.

This kind of universal, military-style education has never been seen before. Zhang Xuan certainly made the illiterate soldiers of Zhang Xuan's subordinates want to die. But greatly increased combat effectiveness. Maybe in the midst of a hard-fought battle. When the battle is fought, it is not revealed.

And when performing these complex combat missions, it manifests itself.

Junior officers understand orders, carry them out, and even make up for some shortcomings on their own.

In Cao Zongyu's view, the army trained by Zhang Xuan should be used in this way. Rather than being rigid and head-to-head with people.

There is a concept in online sports called micro-manipulation. Cao Zongyu didn't understand, but what he meant was that Zhang Xuan's officer team could try more refined combat methods. But Zhang Xuan didn't have this awareness, in fact, he had such thoughts before.

However, he found that because of the transmission of information and the quality of the army, orders that were too specific could not be carried out at all, and he could only give orders that were rigid and less erroneous. It's just that after a year or two, the quality of Zhang Xuan's department has been greatly different, but Zhang Xuan himself still doesn't understand.

This time, Cao Zongyu played a knife trick. It seems very dangerous. But Cao Zongyu himself estimated that it was about sixty percent.

Five or five battles are enough for one battle, and six achievements are enough.

However, Cao Zongyu is still very grateful to Zhang Xuan. Not everyone trusted him as much as Zhang Xuan, and put all the troops under his command. This kind of grace made Cao Zongyu secretly determined that this battle must be won beautifully.

"Kill." The sound of countless horses' hooves mixed with the sound of shouting and killing rushed towards them.

The look of worry in Zhang Xuan's eyes faded in an instant, and he stood by the sword, but there was an indifference in his eyes. turned a blind eye to the Qing army that rushed in front of him. Just wait to see Deng He's performance. People who have fought a lot of wars are like this, and the strong feeling is worn away little by little.

In his eyes, there were only two words left: victory and defeat.
