Chapter 171: Fighting with Walking

、、、、、、、

And for the Xingtian Army, two days down is not easy, although they carried a relatively sufficient amount of ammunition and grain this time, but they don't know when they will be able to return to the jurisdiction to receive replenishment again in this battle, the grain can be supplemented by people who have no money along the way, but the ammunition is a thing, the Xingtian Army is self-contained, and the projectiles can be made by the craftsmen of the army, but in addition to the seizure, gunpowder can only be produced by themselves, not to mention that even if the captured gunpowder is mostly inferior or powdered gunpowder, The power is not as good as the kind of granular gunpowder made by the Xingtian Army, Luo Li led his troops to attack Huang Degong's camp, and the consumption of gunpowder was not small for two days, and if Huang Degong's camp could not be conquered on the third day, the officers and troops of Nanyang were likely to rush to this side, and then they might be able to form a situation where they were attacked by the enemy.

Xiao Tianjian sat in the big tent, his expression did not look serious, and he smiled at the generals: "You don't have to be discouraged, today, Huang Degong's camp is already crumbling, and Sun Yingyuan has not made any more movements since the afternoon!" Rest early today, keep an eye on Sun Yingyuan, don't let him have another night attack, tomorrow you will work harder, Huang Degong will definitely be able to win! ”

Luo Li said angrily: "Handsome! Humble and incompetent, the marshal took Huang Degong's camp in three days, but he couldn't attack his camp for two consecutive days, why don't you lead your troops to give Huang Degong a night attack at the end of tonight? It is estimated that the generals under Huang Degong's command are now tired! When you can break it overnight! ”

Xiao Tianjian shook his head and said: "Huang Degong's performance this time surprised us a little, it seems that this person has started to control the troops in a good way!" After two days of huge battles, our soldiers have also worked very hard, and Huang Degong will definitely be ready to deal with the night attack, even if it is a night attack, he may not be able to really take his camp, why not let the soldiers rest tonight, and it will not be too late to fight again tomorrow! ”

At this time, a scout Pegasus galloped back to the camp, and was quickly taken to the big tent by the guards. We waited to investigate eastward this afternoon, and found that an official army was rushing from the direction of Xiangcheng towards Runing Mansion, with a strength of about 2,000 people, and it was still more than 30 miles away from here! I rushed back overnight to report to the marshal, and asked the marshal to decide! ”

After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and said: "I know, you have worked hard, go down to rest, and keep an eye on the officials and soldiers on this road, and report at any time!" ”

"It seems that our attack on Runing Mansion still affects the officials and troops in all aspects! This official army must have been dispatched by Kaifeng Mansion to reinforce Runing! If my guess is correct, there must be other officers and troops in the surrounding area who are moving towards Runing Mansion now! Although these officers and soldiers are not worried, there are many ants that bite and kill elephants! So we seem to be moving a little faster! All right! Early tomorrow morning, Situ Liang, you will lead your troops to set off to intercept this army and destroy them for me! As for Sun Yingyuan's side, Yaoben, your teaching camp will have to work hard! Tomorrow, you will keep an eye on Sun Yingyuan alone, and you can't let him go out of the camp to join Huang Degong! After Xiao Tianjian sent the scouts away, he said to the generals.

The few people who were ordered immediately went out to answer the order, and then Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and drove them out of the big tent and went down to rest.

Xiao Tianjian, on the other hand, walked to the front of the map with his hands behind his back, locked his eyes on the Nanyang area, and frowned slightly.

"Dashuai, are you worried about Xiong Wencan's reaction?" Li Jinde, as a senator, was not taken away by Xiao Tianjian to rest, but stayed in the brightly lit tent, and saw Xiao Tianjian standing in front of the map, so he asked Xiao Tianjian.

"I have to guard against it! We sent troops from Baofeng, it has been a few days since we arrived here, our movements must not be able to hide the details of the imperial court, and our troops go to Runing, the officials of Runing Mansion will definitely immediately send people to Xiong Wencan, who is sitting in Nanyang, for help, if Xiong Wencan sends Zuo Liangyu's army to help at this time, then our situation will not be good! After all, we don't have many troops, if we can't defeat Sun and Huang in a short time, we will fall into a bitter battle! I didn't expect Huang Degong to be beaten this time, but he was still so able to suffer, if he couldn't take Huang Degong tomorrow, I'm afraid there would be not enough time! Xiao Tianjian can't say these things to the generals, but he can say them to Li Jinde, a staff officer.

Li Jinde nodded and said: "The big marshal is extremely worried, after all, this place is only more than three hundred miles away from Nanyang, if Xiong Wencan reacts quickly, send Zuo Liangyu to help, and the fastest five days should be able to rush here!" We don't have a lot of time left right now!

I think that this battle will either end as soon as possible, or once Zuo Liangyu leads his troops to come, we might as well take the substitute battle! ”

"Instead of fighting? Tell me, how do you use the method of substitution? Xiao Tianjian turned to Li Jinde and asked.

"If we can't solve Sun and Huang before Zuo Liangyu leads his troops to come, then it is not wise to fight to the death here, right now Xiong Wencan wants us to fight a decisive battle with him, so that he has the advantage of troops, once we are dragged here, he can mobilize more soldiers and horses to surround us in the Runing area, this area is not our jurisdiction, it is very difficult to replenish food and supplies, even if the people are willing to return to us, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue, so once the situation develops to this point, We might as well abandon Runing and leave, Xiong Wencan will definitely send troops to chase, we can drag them to fight while walking, as long as they are a little slack, we will bite them hard! In this way, the officers and soldiers will be consumed by us in large quantities! When the time comes, when they run out of strength, we will fight them again! Li Jinde touched the short hair on his chin and replied to Xiao Tianjian.

"Huh! You're talking about sports warfare! Not bad! That's a good idea! There are really not many soldiers and horses in this world who can walk more than our Xingtian Army! Drag them away, and then take the opportunity to take a bite, haha! That's a good idea! But don't underestimate Luo Li, in the past two days, he hasn't been able to defeat Huang Degong's big camp, you see! This guy will definitely personally carry his knife into battle tomorrow and personally lead his troops to charge the camp! I can bet that tomorrow Huang Degong's camp will definitely be conquered by Luo Li! I'm confident in that!

But the method you said is indeed possible, after fighting Huang Degong, if Sun Yingyuan is smart, he will choose to avoid Runing City, with our troops, if we want to capture Runing City, I am afraid that it will not be able to do it now! I guess your solution can still be used! After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian laughed and patted Li Jinde's shoulder vigorously, and even said that the plan was good! However, Li Jinde was a little miserable, these slaps were slapped, and he almost didn't slap him on the ground, he grinned in pain, and hurriedly took a few steps back, avoiding Xiao Tianjian's big hand.

"In the future, the handsome still don't shoot the lowly job as soon as he is happy, the lowly position can't stand the strength of the handsome! A few more taps on this shoulder, and it is estimated that it will be wasted! Li Jinde also smiled and rubbed his shoulders while saying to Xiao Tianjian.

"Oh? Sorry, sorry! Hehe! As soon as I was happy, I forgot about it! Watch out later, watch out later! But you also have to practice martial arts more, after all, the body and bones are the capital, and I don't want you scribes to be weak and weak! ”
