Chapter 289: A Change of Direction
Chapter 289: (Change of Direction)
"Lord Wang, the front is the county seat of Dongwu, and the defenders in the city are several times our army, dare to ask the prince, what should I do next?" After Gaomi City was taken, Fan Wenhui tried his best to act as a pawn in order to integrate into Shangguan Yin Feng's camp as soon as possible, and his kung fu was also first-class.
In addition to distributing the grain and grass in Gaomi City to the surrounding people, all the rest were burned, which can be regarded as cutting off Zhang Bu's retreat, and now the army led by Shangguan Yin Feng can be described as a lone army, and the only hope is to take Dongwu County: "Dongwu City is strong, I'm afraid there will not be a second Gaomi City to coax, Fei Yi is not Fei Dare, Chen Tong is not Beiping's gang of whiskers and horses can be compared, this king said, strategically despise the enemy, tactically attach importance to the enemy, in order to win a complete victory in a hundred battles." Saying that, Shangguan Yin Feng frowned and looked at Dongwu City, and shook his head: "Looking at the number of flags, this king will not think that Chen Tong is scaring this king." ”
"Lord Wang, do you want the last general to lead the army to rush and kill once, and then take care of the situation?" Liang Qiu and Liang Xi, the two brothers, were responsible for leading 10,000 foot soldiers to follow the expedition, and now looking at Dongwu County, Liang Qiu also wanted to make a contribution, even if he couldn't attack, it was no problem to test the strength of the other party.
Shangguan Yin Feng waved his hand: "No, this attack, counting the cavalry, there are only 15,000 people, this king expects that Chen Tong must be strictly defended, and he will not go out of the city to fight with our army, on the contrary, he must be ready to defend to the death, and then send someone to Donglai for help, if Zhang Bu learns that Gaomi is lost, the grain and grass are destroyed, he will definitely lead the army back to help, and then our army is probably really in a dilemma." ”
Most of Huang Botao's Shenji battalion is in Jinan, following the expedition of 3,000 musket team and taking away 1,500 people, accompanied by 1,000 guards of the Shenji battalion, a total of 2,500 people, and this group of people can not be used in the big battle, the filling speed of the arquebus is slow, once the opponent's cavalry charges, after the first round of shooting, it is difficult to ensure that the opponent is repelled after the second round, but on the contrary, it will become the fat on the opponent's chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.
"In that case, dare to ask the prince, how to plan next?" Huang Wei was also at a loss, the attack was not good, it was not possible to camp and sleep, of course, this idea could only be thought about in his heart, but he could not say it and be scolded.
"Liang Qiu, this king will give you a chance to make meritorious contributions..."Shangguan Yin Feng thought about it for a while, and it was better to leave a way to retreat first: "This king will give you 3,000 men and horses, you will first take Heng County, and then directly go east to attack Langya County, Zhang Bu has transferred most of the military strength, and the defenders in these two places will not exceed 2,000 people, after taking it, they will rush back to join our army, remember, if the defenders of the two places surrender, all of them will be sent back to their hometowns." ”
"The last general commands..."Liang Qiu happily left with 3,000 people, this is really a good opportunity for meritorious service.
Other people are obviously red-eyed, but there is no way, Shangguan Yin Feng's way of employing people even Huang Wei can't guess, many senior generals of the Nanyang faction think that Shangguan Yin Feng has the imperial power technique, and the way of controlling the lower is different from many emperors of the previous dynasty, of course, Shangguan Yin Feng's way of controlling the lower is taken from the collection of the twenty-four histories, and then more borrowed from the method of employing people of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, supporting a group, impressing a group, and consuming a group, and the people will have a situation of holding each other, and it will become a big thing, which is also Shangguan Yin Feng's idea.
"Pass the order, rest the army, and prepare for the siege tonight..."
"No..."
.......
"Kill..."
"Quick, archers release their arrows..."
"Bang bang bang..."
"Throw..."
With a loud bang, a fire broke out at the north gate of Tobu County, but to the shock of Huang Wei, who commanded the siege, the fire was extinguished in an instant, followed by an overwhelming rain of arrows and oncoming flying stones.
His subordinates suffered heavy casualties and had to give the order to retreat.
"At the beginning of the day, hum, it seems that Shangguan Yin Feng really likes to toss people, and the night battle is always chosen in the dead of night, no wonder the Yuan family was destroyed so quickly, if you are someone else, this is a good time to sleep." Fei Yi stood at the head of the city and arched his hand to Chen Tong, who was standing next to him, and said: "The Prime Minister is really like a god, not only extinguished the fire, but also killed the Cheng Dynasty army and abandoned their armor. ”
The generals who were patting the sycophants next to him greeted Chen Tong one by one, Chen Tong frowned and looked at the defeated army of Huang Wei in the distance, and thought for a while: "Send a small group of cavalry to chase and kill, if the enemy army counterattacks, withdraw immediately, and you can also find out the truth by the way." ”
"No..."
Shangguan Yin Feng's ability to fight at night is not comparable to ordinary people in this era, he prides himself on accepting the highest strategic and tactical education of the party-state, summing up the strategies of many soldiers in the upper and lower 5,000 years, and compiling a set of super grand strategic guidelines that do not belong to this era, which makes the opponent frightened, and finally discards the armor and is no longer the enemy with it; In this context, after Huang Wei's defeated troops retreated, Shangguan Yin Feng immediately stood in the middle, waiting to see if there were any chasing soldiers to kill.
Sure enough, a group of cavalry shouted towards Huang Wei's defeated army, but none of them went back, all of them were killed by the musket team lying in ambush on both sides, and captured a cavalry lieutenant alive, the words of the tongue finally confirmed Fan Wenhui's words, everything is really Chen Tong in command, and this person's strategy is not under him.
"If you have to compare, it is estimated that Li Yanqing or Cheng Qingzhi can be compared, but to sum up, he has offended people who should not be offended." After Shangguan Yin Feng muttered to himself, he ordered the cavalry lieutenant to be killed.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Shangguan Yin Feng stood in front of the map and thought, and behind him were many generals, waiting for Shangguan Yin Feng to give an order, and it was less than an hour before dawn.
"Lord, do you want to continue the siege after dawn? Or is it a general offensive? Huang Wei took the lead in breaking the silence, clasped his fists and said: "No matter how bad it is, send a team of men and horses to take the surrounding counties of Dongwu, and then surround Dongwu City." ”
"The last general thinks that General Huang is reasonable..."Fan Wenhui immediately followed the column.
There is a second, and there is a third, and many generals also said that Huang Wei's words are very reasonable, the so-called people are too serious, so many people have expressed their opinions, and it is impossible for Shangguan Yin Feng, as the lord, not to express it.
"If Chen Tong is unwilling to fight with our army, but chooses to close the city and not come out, presumably this king will not be moved by any method, so the army is dangerous, since he Chen Tong closed the city and did not fight, then we can only go west to meet with Cheng Qingzhi and Li Chengdong, and then plot to cover Yan, turn around and attack Dongwu again, what do you think?" Shangguan Yin Feng turned around as he spoke, looked at the noisy generals and said, "Or, leave a team of men and horses to continue to besiege the city, and then divide the troops to attack, what do you think?" ”
