Chapter 168: Pinch the soft persimmon first
、、、、、、、
For the ferocity of the Xingtian Army, Huang Degong was taught in Hongshi Mountain as early as last year, when he was almost wiped out by the Xingtian Army in the first battle of Hongshi Mountain, and escaped from Hongshi Mountain with a small number of trivia, and finally escaped from ascending to heaven, so this time he was ordered to come to conquer the Xingtian Army, and his heart was fifteen gourds to draw water, and he knew that most of the soldiers and horses under his command were newly recruited, and the quality of equipment and training was much worse than the soldiers he brought out of the Beijing Division. So he dragged his feet all the way to Runing Mansion, and after seeing Sun Yingyuan, he kept silent about the original defeat, but just told Sun Yingyuan not to underestimate the Xingtian Army, and not to act carelessly and fall for the tricks of the Xingtian Army. ()
And Sun Yingyuan and Huang Degong are both military generals from Beijing, when they were nine years old, they had guarded the border passes, last year, they were also transferred to Henan to suppress bandits, first in Kaifeng and led the troops to fight with the five battalions of the left of the revolution, defeated the five battalions of the left of the revolution for a while, beheaded more than 1,700 levels, and then entered the north of the river to pursue the five battalions of the left of the revolution, which is also regarded as a fierce general, the five battalions of the left of the revolution fought with it, the defeat was more than the victory, and now it has been promoted to the position of deputy general because of merit, there are 6,000 soldiers under his command, and he is quite famous in Jiangbei and eastern Henan, so this time he was also named by Xiong Wencan, Came to attack the Xingtian Army.
Sun Yingyuan is different from Huang Degong's carelessness at the beginning, after all, the Xingtian Army has been greatly prestigious, defeating many official armies in a row, and many famous generals have fallen into the hands of the Xingtian Army, so Sun Yingyuan did not dare to underestimate the Xingtian Army, but found Huang Degong and learned a lot about the Xingtian Army from Huang Degong.
When this time he heard the news of the attack of the Xingtian Army, Sun Yingyuan immediately discussed with Huang Degong, and the two of them led their troops to be stationed on both sides of Runing Mansion, and the large camp was backed by Runing Mansion, forming a corner of the momentum, forming mutual support, blocking the offensive of the Xingtian Army here, and breaking the thieves under Runing City, even if it was not good, in his opinion, they had more than 10,000 troops, compared to the strength of the thief army, at least they could not fight and could avoid entering the city to hold on, how could they hold on until Xiong Wencan sent troops to help, and then the inside and outside should join forces to defeat this thief army, The credit is definitely indispensable.
For Sun Yingyuan's proposal, Huang Degong also felt feasible after thinking about it for a while, so he agreed with the prefect of Runing, they sat outside the city, cooperated with the defense of the city, after the agreement, the two immediately returned to the camp, arranged the barracks from the new, and dug a trap outside the camp overnight, buried the horse rejecting deer and other things, and scattered a lot of thistle terrestris outside the camp, closed the camp gate, just waiting for the Xingtian army to attack.
It's funny to say, the difference in strength between the two armies was not much, and the strength of the Xingtian Army was still slightly weaker, but Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan, the two generals of the Ming Army, who were known as fierce generals, were unusual, and they were stationed under the city in a group to make a defensive posture, and watched a group of soldiers and horses of the Xingtian Army drive from the direction of Xiping County to the city of Runing, but they did not take the initiative to attack at all.
After Xiao Tianjian led his troops to the outside of Runing Mansion, he ordered to stop the advance and set up a large camp in the north of Runing Mansion on the spot, and he was still accustomed to leading the generals to ascend and begin to observe the defense of the officials and troops of Runing Mansion.
When they put down the binoculars in their hands one after another, Xiao Tianjian pointed to Runing Mansion and said to the generals: "It seems that this time Huang Degong has learned from the past, and he no longer dares to take the initiative to come to us for trouble!" However, this Sun Yingyuan is a general in vain, and he actually followed Huang Degong to camp under the city of Runing Mansion, and formed a group to stop us here!
It's not going to be easy! This Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan are not ordinary people, they should know some tactics! Knowing that we can't be trapped in the city, now the city is in a position of horns, so that whether we are attacking the city or attacking any side, they can support each other, and this battle is not as easy to fight as we thought when we came!
You are also pondering, how should we fight to defeat the two official armies of Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan as soon as possible? ”
Luo Li, as a heavy general under Xiao Tianjian, has now begun to learn to use his brain, and after holding a telescope and looking at it for a while, he said to Xiao Tianjian: "With what the last general can see, it is obviously unwise to storm Runing Mansion City now!" The officers and troops are obviously ready to deal with it, and the siege of the city will only allow us to return with heavy casualties and no success, if we fight, we must first defeat the two groups of officers and troops outside the city! ”
"Oh? Go on! How to fight? Xiao Tianjian nodded with satisfaction, he was still very happy that Luo Li used his brain to think about the problem this time, the reason why he brought Luo Li's second division out this time was because Luo Li's second division had the strongest combat effectiveness, and Luo Li was a fierce general, and because Luo Li sometimes didn't like to use his brain, he put him at home to watch the house, and if he didn't do well, he might make mistakes, and now it seems that Luo Li is gradually changing his temperament, and he knows more and more about using his brain to fight, which is a good phenomenon.
Luo Li scratched his head and said, "Whoever you fight first!" Let's concentrate our forces to attack an official army, and I Luo Li will take the lead! ”
At this time, Li Jinde shook his head and said, "It's different, it's different!" Whoever hits this first is to be considered! From the humble point of view, if you fight, it's better to beat Huang Degong's department first! ”
Xiao Tianjian turned his head and asked, "Why?" ”
Li Jinde bowed and said: "Dashuai, although Huang Degong is known as a fierce general, but after all, he was defeated in the hands of Dashuai before, and now most of the thousands of officers and troops under his command are newly recruited, whether it is equipment or morale, there is nothing to worry about, so I think that if we fight, we still have to start from Huang Degong's side, as long as Huang Degong's department is defeated, then Sun Yingyuan will be alone, and it will be much easier to deal with!" As for this Runing City, as long as the officials and troops outside the city are defeated, it will be self-defeating at that time! ”
Xiao Tianjian laughed and said, "It's better to cultivate your business!" Right! A few of you guys are also learning, you have to use your brains to fight a war, and who to fight first and then who to fight, there is also knowledge in it! But Luo Li, you know how to use your brain now, and that's not bad! Sooner or later, you people will have to be on your own, and you can't fight without learning to fight with your brains!
According to what Xiuye said, let's pinch the soft persimmon first, first beat Huang Degong, our subordinate defeated, and then beat Sun Yingyuan! Luo Li listens to orders! ”
"I order you to concentrate the three battalions under your command, and then allocate the artillery battalion to you, and start early tomorrow morning, lead my troops to storm Huang Degong's battalion, so that within three days, I will be given Huang Degong's battalion, and Huang Degong's head will come to me! Let's break off one of these two horns in Runing Mansion for me! ”
When Luo Li heard this, he was immediately overjoyed to receive the order.
And Xiao Tianjian continued: "Situ Liang and Liu Yaoben listen to the order, I order the two of you to keep an eye on Sun Yingyuan's department in the west of the city, once Luo Li leads his troops to attack Huang Degong's camp, if he leads his troops to respond, he will beat them back fiercely!" In short, we can't let them connect as one! The rest of the people are in the camp to prevent the officers and soldiers from raiding our camp! That's it! Go back now! Tomorrow, bury the pot to make rice, and after eating the war meal, you will start to act as soon as the hour comes! ”
After hearing this, the generals immediately answered the order loudly, turned around and followed Xiao Tianjian down the high hill, turned over and galloped towards the camp under the escort of the guards.
