Chapter 1245: The Beginning of the Battle of Yongqiu
On March 18, under the concession of Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, Chu Shouling Jun Jingshe led a Chu army known as one million, and easily occupied the hills and plains in this area of Yongqiu. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As last time, when the Yu king Zhao Yuantong retreated, he ordered the mountains and forests around Yongqiu to be set on fire, leaving the Chu army with a few bare and lifeless hills.
Fight and retreat, erect walls and clear the wilderness...... A strategy to lure the enemy!
In the makeshift tent, Chu Shouling Jun Jingshe was full of worries and thought about countermeasures.
Don't look at it in the eyes of the world, this battle has sounded from the beginning, as if the Chu army is attacking the Wei State like a bamboo, but as a party, Shouling Jun Jingshe knows that the Chu army is actually led by the nose by the commander of the Wei army.
As soon as the tent was lifted, Xiong Sheng, the prince of Chu and the king of Liyang, walked in and bowed his hand: "Lord Jingshe, according to your order, I have ordered people to set up a small camp on several nearby hills and deploy a guard. ”
"Hmm." Shouling Jun Jingshe nodded, and gave Liyang Jun Xiong Sheng enough respect: "There is a son of Lao." ”
"Don't dare."
Liyang Jun Xiong Sheng waved his hand humbly, and then, seeing that Shouling Jun Jingshe was drawing a geomorphological map of the Yongqiu area, he was very confused in his heart, so he asked: "Lord Jingshe, the Wei army has retreated from the Yongqiu area, why does Lord Jingshe still want to draw a geomorphological map of this place?" ”
The movement in Shouling Jun Jingshe's hand paused, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Yongqiu is further ahead, that is, Liang County of Wei State, I believe that the commander of the Wei army will definitely not let our army attack Liang County, think like this, Yongqiu, I am afraid that the last concession of the commander of the Wei army......"
"Concessions?" Liyang Jun Xiong Sheng frowned and asked, "What Lord Jingshe meant, our army's previous victory, is it really the Wei army's intention?" ”
"Hmm!" Shouling Jun Jingshe nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Childe, have you ever seen wolves hunting cattle?" ”
Liyang Jun Xiong Sheng shook his head.
Seeing this, Shouling Jun Jingshe said with a smile: "Gongzi don't think that the cow eats grass and despises it, the united herd, even if it is a tiger, dare not offend, I heard that there are tigers and leopards who were killed by the horns of the bull." …… But even so, when the cow encounters the wolf, it is inevitable that the latter will become the latter's belly. Do you know why? ”
"Please advise Lord Jingshe." Liyang Jun Xiong Sheng said respectfully.
Brushing his beard, Shouling Jun Jingshe said: "I heard the old man say that when wolves hunt prey, they often follow the prey on a trek, constantly attacking the prey that lacks vigilance along the way, although they encounter the prey that unites like a herd, and if they can't get it for a while, the wolves will find a way to bite one of the prey, and once they succeed, they will immediately retreat...... Retreat temporarily.
The wounded prey follows its companion in an attempt to escape from the wolves, but if it is too badly wounded, it will eventually be abandoned because it drags down its companion. It's not a question of cruelty or not, it's that it's no longer alive, and it's better to abandon it than let it drag down the rest of its companions.
A beast abandoned by its companions will certainly not survive, and is destined to become the food in the belly of the wolves. ”
"Huh?"
Liyang Jun Xiong Sheng was surprised when he heard this.
Because, after the beginning of spring, the situation of his Chu army was like this, constantly being attacked by the Wei army, and the Wei army was like a pack of wolves in the story, biting in the east and west, biting the Chu army all over the body, and the wounded were increasing day by day.
And in the end, these wounded were like the wounded beasts in the story, abandoned by the Chu army that continued to penetrate deep into the territory of Wei, and died silently in a tent.
At this time, Shouling Jun Jingshe said again: "I have heard that among the wolves, there will be a wolf king who commands the wolves. The wolf king is more cunning than ordinary wolves, it will appear in front of you, attract your attention, and when you think it will attack, on your side or behind, several strong male wolves under the command of the wolf king will rush up and pounce on you, biting your ankle, and at this time, the cunning wolf king will lead the remaining wolves to pounce on you......"
Liyang Jun Xiong Sheng nodded again and again when he heard this, it seemed that Shouling Jun Jingshe was explaining to him the story of wolf hunting, but in fact, it was about the actions of the Wei army.
Ji Tong, the king of Yu of Wei, and the Northern First Army, are the wolf kings in the story, and Shaohu, Long Ji, Yigu, and Zhao Bao, including the Baili Bao of the Junshui Army, these Wei generals are the sturdy male wolves under the wolf king in the story; On the other hand, his Chu army is like a herd of cattle in the story, although it has brute strength, but after all, it can't withstand the harassment and sneak attacks of the wolves again and again, so that it is scarred.
However, as Shoulingjun said, further from Yongqiu, that is, Liangjun of Wei State, no matter how cunning the wolf king is, but in the case of being approached to the lair, I believe it will show up after all, right?
Thinking about this matter, Liyang Jun Xiong Sheng bid farewell to Shouling Jun Jingshe and went to inspect the barracks.
After all, Shouling Jun Jingshe had almost clearly told him that the Wei army was very likely to launch an attack on his Chu army in this area, so he Chu army should mention the spirit of the twelve-point spirit and put an end to all omissions that would be used by the Wei army.
But as soon as he thought of the completely exposed camp of the Chu army, Liyang Jun Xiong Sheng felt powerless.
Vertical walls, clear fields, the simple two words in the art of war, in actual combat, will indeed make an army feel constrained.
No, when the Wei army evacuated the Yongqiu area, they set fire to the mountains and forests in this area, so that the Chu army could not even build a decent camp, and the dense military tents were completely exposed on the plain.
Liyang Jun Xiong Sheng was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard a commotion in the distance.
Frowning, Xiong Sheng instructed the guards behind him, "Go and see what's going on?" ”
After a while, the guard returned, clasped his fists and said, "Childe, it was the soldiers of the Suiyang Army and our soldiers who had a quarrel over rations. ”
Suiyang Army......
Liyang Jun Xiong Sheng frowned slightly.
The Suiyang Army was once nominally the elite of the sixth battalion of the Wei garrison, but in fact, this army was equivalent to the private soldiers of the rebel general Nangong Yao.
For Nangong Yao, Liyang Jun Xiong Sheng has no good impression, after all, for the sake of rights and interests, Nangong Yao first opposed the Song Dynasty and then opposed Wei.
Having said that, isn't Nangong Yao's Suiyang Army attacking Dingtao? How could they act with the army of Shouling Jun Jingshe?
The reason is very simple, because Nangong Yao suffered a defeat in Dingtao.
No, it's not as simple as losing the battle, because during Nangong Yao's attack on Dingtao, Song Yun, the leader of the Song rebels, took the opportunity to recover several cities.
Although he is also known as a rebel general and a rebel, Song Yun is in the Song land, which is very supported by the Song people, unlike Nangong Yao, because he first opposed the Song Dynasty and then the Wei people, causing the Song people to hate him, and the Wei people also hated him.
Then, at the beginning of March, Song Yun, the leader of the Song rebels, did not know whether he had secretly signed an agreement with the Wei State, and led his army to Dingtao, and came fiercely in the rear of the Suiyang army.
At that time, the Wei general Bailiba, who was stationed in Dingtao, led the Junshui Army to attack decisively, and joined forces with Song Yun's Song rebels to flank the Suiyang army, so that Nangong Yao lost his troops and lost his generals.
Seeing that he couldn't make up his mind, and the territory was occupied by Song Yun, the leader of the rebels in the Song Dynasty, Nangong Yao defected to Chu Shoulingjun in a fit of anger.
For Nangong Yao to lead the army to vote, Shouling Jun Jingshe is still quite generous, after all, not to mention Nangong Yao's person, the Suiyang army under his command is a rare elite division, at least more elite than the army of Chu State.
After some negotiations, Shouling Jun Jingshe incorporated Nangong Yao and his Suiyang army into the army, although he was very happy to get such an elite original Wei army, but the generals of the Chu army were not very happy.
The reason is that after Nangong Yao's Suiyang army was defeated by Song Yun and Bailiba, everything was lost in grain, grass and baggage, so that it was all dependent on the Chu army to feed at present, which made some Chu army soldiers very unhappy: Why? Why do you want to give you another share of the already not abundant military rations to the Suiyang Army?
"Don't make trouble!"
After understanding the cause and effect, Liyang Jun Xiong Sheng immediately stepped forward to stop the quarrel between the Chu soldiers and the Suiyang soldiers.
Under the restraint of this prince of Chu, a quarrel was stopped.
At this time, in front of a handcart not far away, there were two men wearing the general-style armor of the Suiyang Army, chewing and swallowing the rations they had just received from the quartermaster of the Chu Army, and looked indifferently at the dozen or so Chu soldiers and Suiyang soldiers who caused the quarrel.
"How do I feel that this huge army of millions is actually coming to an end?" One of the men, wiping his mouth, muttered with a wry expression.
If Zhao Hongrun was here, then he would never be a stranger to this man, this man, that is, the evil party who dared to lead hundreds of horse thieves to attack the Shang Shui Army, Huan Hu.
And the man next to Huan Hu is also an unusual person, that is the man who caused the damage to the hand tendons of Shen Yu, the former head of Zhao Hongrun's original sect, and now Chen Xiao, who has already assumed the name of Chen Hunt.
"Really? That's an army of millions. Listening to Huan Hu's muttering, Chen Hunt frowned and said.
I saw Huan Hu touch his beard, and said with a treacherous expression: "What if there are more soldiers, in recent days, I asked Jin Gou to secretly investigate, and the grain and grass of the Chu army have been almost exhausted...... I can't even eat, how can I fight with the Wei army? ”
Suddenly, he asked Chen Hunt mockingly: "Wei and Chu armies, which side wins is in line with your wishes?" ”
Chen Hunt glanced at Huan Hu with an indifferent expression.
As the son of the heroic martyr of Zhaoling County and the late county commander Chen Bing, and the former uncle of the Zhongyang Yang Wu Army, as a Wei person, Chen Hunt certainly hopes that the Wei State will win - don't look at him in the Chu Army at the moment, but this does not mean that he will fully assist the Chu Army in attacking the Wei State.
It's just that for some reason, he and Huan Hu are in Chu Ying at this moment.
Seeing that Chen Hunt didn't react, Huan Hu didn't care, touched his beard and muttered, "I think the Chu army is probably going to be defeated." …… Wei Jun, the coach who has not yet appeared, makes me feel ...... Well, it's not simple, it's not simple. ”
"Isn't that just right? You can just replace Nangong Yao and steal the Suiyang Army. Chen Zhan said lightly.
"It's as easy as you say." Huan Hu laughed for a while, touching his beard thoughtfully.
…… The million-dollar Chu army led by Jun Jingshe of Chu Shouling, is it really going to sink in Yongqiu? If that's the case, then I'll have to make a way out as soon as possible......
A pair of tiger eyes scanned the various things in the Chu camp, and Huan Hu said secretly.
