Chapter 25: Zuo Zhaodan (I)
(This chapter is a fake change of mixed attendance.,Copied from the previous chapter.,Except for the title, it's not a real change)
……
On the ninth day of the second month of the leap month, part of the original Congzhou Houying army laid an ambush on the road, and the other part turned backwards after a short rest, intending to fight against the army of the king of Yunnan behind him.
The Yunnan royal department knew that it was not good, so they put on the defensive in time and sought favorable terrain on the spot to deal with it. At this time, the Yan army, which had been left behind in Congzhou, arrived in time from the queen of Yunnan. The situation has finally deteriorated to the most dangerous time expected.
……
After hearing the actual situation, the king of Yunnan and the staff around them were silent. The reason for the silence of the staff can be imagined, after all, the red mouth and white teeth have explained the consequences to the king of Yunnan before, and the current situation is also expected by everyone, what else can they say. Do you want to scold Li Zongxing for not knowing what to say? Although there are not many customers who have the mentality of "the one who is a confidant dies", after so many years of eating and drinking others, it is a little difficult to get by if he directly scolds him. And I think that the king of Yunnan also has a point in his heart, and he doesn't need them to point it out.
As for the silence of the king of Yunnan, it was only because he was thinking, thinking about some issues that only he could think about.
After a while, Zhang Dou broke the silence first: "Well, now that everyone knows about this situation, let's all say our opinions." ”
"I don't have any opinion anymore, the matter has come to this point, it is all due to our poor persuasion, I really have nothing to say." This was quite unkind, and Zhang Doucai couldn't help but glance at Li Zongxing from the corner of his eye, and saw that he didn't have much reaction, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ahem, uh...... At this point, colleagues should not be attached to the things that have passed, after all, there is no point in clinging, we should focus on the present. What do you think about the current situation? ”
"The contemptible people have some humble opinions, and they are not worth talking about."
"Brother Tai's words are out of sight, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it."
"In the current situation, our army will not be able to take advantage of whether it is advancing or retreating, and even if we will not lose the upper hand alone, we will definitely end up in a situation where we are caught between two sides. It is better to break it into pieces on the spot, divide them into small teams and retreat into the mountains and forests, and then adapt to the situation, so that our army will suffer the least losses......"
"The last general is wrong to say this, if we retreat before the battle, it will greatly affect our morale, even if we retreat into the mountains and forests, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be difficult to integrate because of the lack of fighting spirit. Besides, we don't necessarily end up in the middle of the attack. Yesterday, Brother Zhang also said that this action means that Liang Jing will have a change, the soldiers are fast, the main purpose of the rear camp army should be to gallop to Liang Jing, if we turn around to attack the Yan army from Congzhou, and pretend to be invincible, the soldiers and horses in the rear camp are likely to abandon us and continue to go to Liang Jing, so that the predicament we are in will be solved. ”
"'Inevitably'? The general should not magnify his words, even if the battle situation in Liangjing is very urgent, in the current situation that we have neither time nor geographical advantages, let alone anyone, is it difficult to exterminate us for the Yan army, which has an advantage in numbers and preparations? ”
"......" The officer who proposed to turn back and attack was just about to argue something, but he heard the king of Yunnan, who was sitting in the first place, clear his throat.
"Ahem, since you have said it so clearly, this king has no choice but to follow your opinion."
These words confused the staff below, and the second monk was confused, and said bluntly: When did we discuss and come up with a clear answer?
"You say that it is not advisable to retreat, and you have a very reasonable point; You also said that it is not advisable to attack backwards, and what you said is also very reasonable. This is the meaning of letting this king move on without being influenced by them, and it is indeed a good choice. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the staff around him was clearly divided into two factions, one of which had a face full of doubts and puzzles, while the other began to ponder.
As I said, Li Zongxing is certainly not a fool. He couldn't have been unaware that the reason people weren't discussing the possibility was simply because it was stupid. Moreover, the fact that he had never made the decision to ignore the staff group without explaining the reason before had appeared twice in the past two days, which had to make people doubt the true intentions of the king of Yunnan.
At this moment, a doorman finally mustered up the courage to stand up and say the words that many people wanted to say, "Your Highness, you have misunderstood what we mean, if you say that there is still five points of life in retreating and attacking backwards, Your Highness is afraid that you will be dead and dead." ”
"Shut up!" When everyone heard this, they hurriedly looked intently, but saw that the person who stopped was not the king of Yunnan himself, but Zhang Doucai beside him.
"Zhang Mou thinks that His Royal Highness's plan is very good, don't talk nonsense and shake the hearts of the army!" This nonsense sentence that he said with his eyes open attracted everyone's attention, including Li Zongxing.
Most of the doormen are confused, obviously this chapter Doucai seemed to be quite sober yesterday, and his speech is also very reasonable, why did he start to talk about it today?
There were also some doormen with vigilant expressions on their faces, and they were afraid that this Zhang Doucai had already seen something from Li Zongxing's words and deeds, otherwise it would be impossible to agree with this stupid plan even if they were talking nonsense.
As for Li Zongxing, he looked at Zhang Doucai and smiled, "It seems that you have no objections?" Then let's go ahead and prepare. ”
"Yes!"
……
Soon, Li Zongxing's army changed formations and attacked directly into the depths of the rear camp army in a sagittal formation.
Soon, the Zhao army did not feel any pressure and pressed into the interior of the rear camp army. At this moment, only a long howl was heard, and the pre-set ambush soldiers surrounded the two wings and from behind, as if wrapping a bun with a slightly biased filling. Although the Yan army behind Li Zongxing was huge, it was actually a temporary ambush, and it was relatively weak in numbers and tactics. And the Yan army in front of him, although he frequently retreated before, did not receive real losses, and he gnawed very hard.
Therefore, a wise general would undoubtedly choose to break through backwards or flanks when faced with such a situation, but Li Zongxing did not do that, although he was also a wise man.
He chose not to change his momentum and continued to advance, detaching only a small number of troops to deal with the ambush behind him and on both flanks.
Soon, he felt the price of such a choice.
Each step of the way became extremely difficult, and every step of the way was a huge loss of men. On the battlefield, countless bodies and blood have lost their due vitality, and the formation and reason have lost all their role here, and the only thought of the soldiers is to frantically swing the spear in their hands to bring death to the enemy in front of them, so that they can survive.
Li Zongxing has some of his disciples around him to escort him, so there is no big threat to his own safety, and he is quite safe. Similarly, the literati who followed the army were also intensively protected.
Almost never before in history have there been such a number of people fighting in a group, without tactics and without reason. This battlefield is also like an emotionless meat grinder, with rivers of blood.
The eyes of the King of Yunnan were still firm, and they became more determined as the smell of blood became stronger.
……
I don't know how long it took, maybe it was a moment, maybe it was a year. The soldiers who had gone through that battle were hardly willing to recall that battle, or even if they did, their minds were chaotic, and it was difficult to tell how long they had spent in that purgatory.
It's just that the Yan army suddenly became chaotic from the rear, and this chaos was not very big at first, and then gradually became violent, and finally the entire battlefield was shaken. The soldiers and horses of the King of Yunnan, who were facing the Yan army, felt the pressure steep and light, and they all perked up, and the movements in their hands were also sharp.
Soon, under the pressure of Wang Bujun's army in Yunnan, the Yanhou battalion army gradually began to retreat or disperse. In the end, the Zhao army broke through the siege victoriously, rushed out from the thickest part of the encirclement, and reached the east of the Yanhou battalion army.
After breaking through, Li Zongxing began to look for the cause of the Yan army's sudden chaos. At this glance, Li Zongxing was taken aback, he actually saw the army in Zhaoguo armor fighting against the Yan army in this kind of place, and his heart was not good, because whether it was Gao Wenyuan's army or Liang Jing's forbidden army, it meant that Gao Wenyuan had relieved Liang Jing from the siege, and this was a situation he didn't want to see anyway.
However, when I looked closely, I found that it was not, although the armor was indeed Zhao's standard, but the team was obviously much more scattered. This casualness is not in a mental state, in fact they are in a good mental state to kill the enemy. The main reason why they are scattered is that the formation and queue are almost not in order, if it is on the plain battlefield, the two armies are facing each other, and the combat effectiveness of this army is really not very high. But in today's situation, this army played the role of a sneak attack behind the scenes, and Li Zongxing's army flanked the Yan army on both sides, which achieved quite good results.
However, they soon became powerless, because of the breakthrough of Li Zongxing's army, the pressure they faced instantly increased by more than one notch.
Li Zongxing sighed and looked behind him. Fortunately, they had just broken through, and most of the soldiers did not lose their anger during the battle. Seeing this, Li Zongxing hurriedly seized the opportunity, gathered several teams of men and horses, turned around and attacked from the flank. At this time, direct support can play a very small role, the army stuck by the Yan army should not be able to withdraw or not, at this time, attacking its flank, can give another Zhao army a chance to breathe, can effectively retreat.
Sure enough, the command of the Yan army, which was dispersed by Li Zongxing, was relatively scattered at this time, and the overall view of the low-level officers was relatively lacking, and it was easy to be dispersed by Li Zongxing, a new reinforcement. Another Zhao army also took advantage of this opportunity very cleverly to collect troops.
After that, both armies ran all the way to the east, and after a while, seeing that the Yan army was no longer able to catch up, the two armies found a place with a wide field of vision and camped together. While you are encamped
