Chapter 429: Sneak Attack
If it weren't for Xu Jingye's adoption of many tough and cruel methods to suppress this panic, I am afraid that some people in the army would have fled, even so, the morale of the Xu army has suffered a huge blow, so that Xu Jingye and the generals of the Xu army have a headache.
It was in this headache that the Don army finally reached their shore.
The terrain of Xia Axi is not as dangerous as Duliang Mountain, but compared to Duliang Mountain, Xia Axi is a little more flexible, with the creek as a barrier, the Xu army can deal with the Tang army flexibly, and if the Tang army wants to break through Xia Axi to attack the Xu army, it will be much more difficult.
"Boom, boom, knock........."
Bursts of noisy sounds, under the winter sky, passed far away.
If someone looked down from a high altitude at this time, they could clearly see that the Tang army located on the north bank of the stream was like three sharp arrows, shooting straight towards the south bank in a daze.
Although the Xu army on the south bank was in turmoil, under Xu Jingye's high-pressure policy, they could only fight hard, and even in order to survive, many people did not hesitate to change their lives.
A battle began in the morning and lasted until the afternoon, when the Tang army withdrew its troops, and looking at the Tang army that retreated in embarrassment, Xu Jun, who was already tired and exhausted, did not care about the wreckage and blood stains everywhere on the ground, and just sat on the ground, his eyes were confused and dressed roughly, and after a while, they were like those corpses on the ground, so scattered, so helpless and sad.
"Wei Jian Army, this has been five times, ten days, five attacks, but all of them were repelled by the Xu army, not only that, but we also lost more than 10,000 people, like this, how can you get it, I don't know if you have any good way, you can quickly cross the river and defeat the rebels."
Looking at the defeated soldiers who were embarrassed, Li Xiaoyi asked Wei Yuanzhong with a little heaviness.
"Although Xu Jun has been forced into a desperate situation, but Xu Jingye has a reputation after all, these people still trust him, besides, the so-called mourning soldiers will win, although this sentence is not right here, but most of the soldiers of Xu Jun know that if they are defeated, they will not be better off when they settle accounts afterwards, since this is the case, it is better to fight with us to the end, so that they have that kind of courage to fight to the death, so, if you want to take Xiaxi, there are only two ways, one is to attack the whole army, with the advantage of troops, Crush them directly.
But this one looks very good, but there is a shortcoming, that is, if the whole family attacks but does not crush the fight, I am afraid that the unfolding will be reversed, and we will become the prey of the fight, and it is possible to be defeated by the rebels.
The other way is to wait for the opportunity, now the rebel soldiers are facing us, it is the time of resentment in their hearts, but if we delay for a while, their anger will dissipate or be transferred to Xu Jingye and others, and when the time comes, we will take the opportunity to send troops and take the rebels in one fell swoop. ”
Wei Yuanzhong thought for a while before he said slowly.
Hearing the two methods proposed by Wei Yuanzhong, Li Xiaoyi's face became even more ugly, he just snorted lightly, and turned around and walked towards his big tent, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was not very satisfied with Wei Yuanzhong's two methods.
"Overseer, what you said is a bit direct, what the chief manager wants to hear is the kind of easy and good method, your method is either dangerous or takes too long, how can he be satisfied." Looking at Li Xiaoyi, who was frowning and leaving, Ma Jingchen, the former army commander, said beside Wei Yuanzhong.
"Hey, hey, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, so-and-so just put forward his own opinion, as for the outcome, it's not up to so-and-so to decide." Wei Yuanzhong said without caring at all.
"Chief Administrator, General Su asks to see you."
Li Xiaoyi, who returned to the big tent, was thinking about the method proposed by Wei Yuanzhong, when he heard the guards at the door come in and say.
The so-called General Su is Su Shouxiang, the head of the rear army, unlike other generals, Su Shouxiang does not have the rough temper of other generals, but instead it is a little more bureaucratic slippery, since Li Xiaoyi became the head of this army, Su Shouxiang came to Li Xiaoyi in front of Li Xiaoyi for three days and two times, at first Li Xiaoyi and did not pay much attention to him, but over time, Li Xiaoyi gradually accepted Su Shouxiang's flattery, and even because of the previous unfavorable war, everyone was not optimistic about Li Xiaoyi. Only Su Shouxiang flattered Li Xiaoyi as always, and this kind of affection was no less than sending charcoal in the snow, which made Li Xiaoyi have a little more affection for Su Shouxiang.
Because of the boredom in his heart, Li Xiaoyi thought that Su Shouxiang had come for fun as before, so he waved his hand very irritably, "Tell him that he doesn't have time, let him come back another day." ”
"Chief, General Su said that there is an important military situation." The guard said.
"Uh-huh......."
Hearing the guard's answer, Li Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment, in his mind, every time Su Shouxiang saw him, he either pulled a relationship, or sent some small and flattering things, and never talked too much about the military situation, and today he actually said that there was an important military situation, Li Xiaoyi felt a little surprised.
"Since there is an important military situation, please invite him in!"
As the guards went out, Su Shouxiang quickly walked in.
"The last general has seen the Grand Steward."
"General Su, I heard that you have an important military situation to meet Yu Mou, I don't know what it is, but it has something to do with how to cross Xiaxi and exterminate the rebels." Because of the excessive pressure, Li Xiaoyi didn't bother to talk around the corner, and asked straight to the point as soon as he came.
"The chief manager is wise, and the last general is here for this." Li Xiaoyi asked simply, and Su Shouxiang answered very happily.
"Oh, tell me, what do you think, don't you have the same idea as the prison guard!"
Hearing Su Shouxiang's answer, Li Xiaoyi was a little interested, and at the same time, in order to avoid being overjoyed, he asked in advance.
He was not afraid that Su Shouxiang would not understand what Wei Yuanzhong's thoughts were, although the army was strictly disciplined, it was still the same as in the officialdom, and the news that it was strict would spread to everyone's ears in a short time.
Su Shouxiang obviously knew what Wei Yuanzhong's thoughts were, so he shook his head with a chuckle and said, "Chief Manager Mingjian, although Wei Jianjun's method sounds quite safe, but it is really difficult to do it, it is difficult for a strong man, not only is it time-consuming and labor-intensive, maybe Dao will still do useless work in the end, a certain method is different from him, a certain method is not only simple, but also can see the effect immediately." ”
"Say, listen to me." At this time, Li Xiaoyi was extremely interested in the method Su Shouxiang said.
Looking at Li Xiaoyi's excited expression, Su Shouxiang was secretly happy in his heart, he knew that he had made the right bet this time, as long as he seized this opportunity, took the army across Xiaxi as soon as possible, and defeated Xu Jingye's rebels, then he would definitely be able to get Li Xiaoyi's weight, and in the future, he would have a backstage in the court. This is also the reason why he has been so stammered with Li Xiaoyi during this period of time.
"That's what I thought,................
"Ming Xiu plank road is dark Chen Cang, the plan is a good plan, but can it really work, you must know that Xu Jingye is not an easy person, will such a simple plan be seen through by him." After listening to Su Shouxiang's plan, Li Xiaoyi was still a little excited at first, but in the end he was a little more skeptical, not because this plan was too difficult, on the contrary, Su Shouxiang's plan was extremely simple.
That is to take advantage of the night, send a large army to bluff on the side of Xiaxi, and create a move that they want to attack the Xu army at night, but Su Shouxiang took an elite army to cross the river at a certain distance from here, and then they took the opportunity to attack the Xu army, when the time came, the Xu army would definitely be in chaos when the whole family was caught off guard, and they could easily take down Xiaxi and Xu Jingye's rebels.
"Although the chief manager can rest assured, although Xu Jingye has a small reputation, but after all, he is young and not very experienced in the battle formation, this seemingly simple strategy, he must think that we will not use it, and when he finds out, I am afraid it will be too late to regret it." Su Shouxiang said.
"This .........."
For a while, Li Xiaoyi was extremely struggling in his heart, on the one hand, out of his own needs, he wanted to agree to Su Shouxiang, but on the other hand, he felt that this plan was a bit child's play, if he was not careful for a while, I am afraid it would bring great losses to the Tang army.
These two thoughts kept running through his mind, making it difficult for him to decide.
"Later, when this matter is known, you can go back first, and as for how to choose, I will give you an answer after thinking about it."
.......................
In the middle of the night, looking at the darkness in the sky, Xu Jingye's heart was the same as this situation, there was no trace of light.
"Strategist, why did you say that a certain person was obsessed with wanting to achieve great things at that time, falling into this field, it is a trivial matter for a certain person to die, but it has affected you, and it is really difficult for a certain person to feel uneasy in his heart!" Xu Jingye said sadly.
"There are always a few things that are taken for granted in life, and these things are often unforgettable, and they can have a huge impact on people, and many people have taken many different paths because of this, and this is human nature, and the Metropolitan Governor does not mind, as long as we get through this crisis, the situation will always change." Hearing Xu Jingye's self-blame, Wei Siwen sighed.
"Hey, hey, hey, ......."
Hearing Wei Siwen's words, Xu Jingye laughed twice, not knowing whether he was laughing at himself or for other reasons.
After the two walked along the stream for a long time, Xu Jingye spoke again, "Military advisor, the care of that person can be arranged, so there is no mistake!" ”
Although Xu Jingye didn't say the name of that person, Wei Siwen replied knowingly, "Although the Metropolitan Governor can rest assured, the people around him have already been arranged, they are all elites in the army, and there will be no accidents, but I didn't expect that this person usually seems to be quite loyal, how could he do such a thing at a critical time, he really knows people and faces, but he doesn't know his heart!" ”
"Hehe, at the moment of life and death, how many people can maintain their nature, he will not blame him for choosing so-and-so, but unfortunately he not only wants to surrender to the enemy, but even immediately turns the knife and stabs us, which is unforgivable, so, since he is unkind, don't blame a certain injustice, use him once, it can be considered two-clear." Xu Jingye said with a sneer.
"That's the same, if we can really take advantage of this opportunity to give Tang Jun a big blow, we still have some hope, but I don't know if Li Xiaoyi will be fooled this time, if he is not fooled, it will be a pity." Wei Siwen said.
"Hahaha, don't worry, the country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, what kind of person is Li Xiaoyi, just a villain who is eager for quick success, for his own future, he can't do anything, you wait and see, he will act soon." Xu Jingye said with a smile.
.......................
"The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone."
During the Warring States Period, Prince Dan of Yan bid farewell to the assassin Jing Ke next to Yishui, and today, Li Xiaoyi is also by the water's edge to see people off, of course, he is not an assassin, nor a person, but a group of people, the elite of 5,000 people and the head of the rear army, Su Shouxiang.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Xiaoyi decided to take Su Shouxiang's suggestion and smuggled down the river at night.
Of course, the reason for this decision was not only because of the huge gains after the success of this plan, but also because Li Xiaoyi got information from within the Soviet army.
The exhaustion of the Soviet army, the complaints of the generals and soldiers, and the serious anti-war sentiment were extremely powerful to the Tang army, which prompted Li Xiaoyi to finally make this choice.
"General Su, at this time, I will give you full power, whether our army can quickly pacify the rebels is in your hands, if this raid successfully exterminates the rebels, I will definitely give you credit in front of the Queen Mother." Grabbing Su Shouxiang's arm, Li Xiaoyi said with a longing on his face.
"Don't worry, this assault, by surprise, Xu Jingye's hairy boy must not have noticed it, when the time comes, you will win the battle, you will wait for the news of a certain victory!" Su Shouxiang replied with a proud face.
"Okay, good, good, I'm here in advance to congratulate General Xu on his victory." Looking at Su Shouxiang's confident appearance, even with Li Xiaoyi, he felt a little more confident in his heart.
"General Su, you must be cautious in this attack, then Xu Jingye is not an unknown person after all, if you notice something inappropriate, please return as soon as possible, don't joke with the lives of the soldiers." Compared with Li Xiaoyi's full of eagerness, Wei Yuanzhong's words were a little frustrating, so although Su Shouxiang reluctantly agreed, looking at his expression, I am afraid that he would have thrown these words behind a long time ago.
Seeing this situation, Wei Yuanzhong had no choice but to sigh deeply, but to secretly pray for God's blessing in his heart.
