Chapter 195: Good News and Bad News!
Since Han Shizhong led his troops to be stationed twenty miles away in Fengnan County, the Jinliao coalition army besieging Fengnan County retreated, and to Han Shizhong's surprise, this Jinliao coalition army has been retreating into Tangshan County!
In Liu Chen and Han Shizhong's plan, Han Shizhong's troops, the defenders of Fengnan County, and the Jinliao coalition army should be in a three-legged situation, because the Jinliao coalition army's combat effectiveness is very strong, and in the face of nearly 30,000 reinforcements, it should not retreat, but the actions of the Jinliao coalition army made Han Shizhong a little depressed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The crisis in Fengnan County was resolved, but the Jinliao coalition army also retreated too simply, and retreated directly to Tangshan County, which made the battle situation change a little.
In the plan, Han Shizhong and Zhang Shuye's armies pinned each other down the Jinliao coalition army, and then waited for Liu Chen to lead the army from Tanghai County to the north, and the three armies attacked the Jinliao coalition army on three sides, and there was a great chance of defeating the enemy, but now that the Jinliao coalition army has entered the city, this war has changed.
Tangshan County is a main city, a main city guarded by 40,000 troops, it takes at least 100,000 people to capture it, Uncle Zhang is full of 20,000 soldiers, Han Shizhong has 27,000 here, and the 5,000 cavalry under Liu Chen's command is only more than 10,000 even if it is plus the 6,000 defenders of Tanghai County, and the three-way army is nearly 60,000 together.
It was precisely because of the actions of the Jinliao coalition army that Han Shizhong was depressed and a little irritable during these days.
Han Shizhong moved the army forward, and camped five miles to the right of Fengnan County, and did not enter the city, because if he entered the city, the Jinliao coalition army would come back, and it would be difficult to come out, one army was in the city, and one army was in the field, and they were horns of each other, which could be effectively defended.
Han Shizhong handed over the deployment of the army to Xiahou Ying and Situ Jiannan, and then led three hundred soldiers into Fengnan County.
However, Han Shizhong did not enter the city for pleasure, but wanted to enter the city to learn about the situation of the Fengnan garrison, and he could talk to Zhang Shuye about their plan, and by the way, discuss what to do next.
There are still 24,000 defenders in Fengnan County, but in addition to the wounded, there are only 20,000 soldiers in battle, and there is a shortage of food, which is not a problem, and the grain transported by the four major trading houses is enough for the consumption of 100,000 troops for more than a month.
After Han Shizhong and Zhang Shuye met, they exchanged greetings for a while, and when they heard that in addition to Han Shizhong, there was also Zhenbei Hou from Weihai County, Shandong Province, Zhang Shuye was also shocked, he never expected that there would be a Hou Ye who came from thousands of miles to help, which made him very grateful to Liu Chen, who had not yet met.
After understanding the plan drawn up by Han Shizhong and Liu Chen, Zhang Shuye also frowned slightly, there is no problem with the plan, the problem is that the actions of the two armies of Jin and Liao retreated into the main city, and they will definitely not be able to take it in a short time, if they can't take Tangshan County, how to induce the Three Kingdoms Alliance in Beiping to rescue?
For several days, Han Shizhong and Zhang Shuye were worried, because they really couldn't think of any way to get the Jinliao coalition army out of Tangshan County, and in the end they had no choice but to wait for Liu Chen to lead the troops here to discuss.
Early this morning, Han Shizhong came to Uncle Zhang's mansion, holding a piece of paper in his hand, and shouted, "Lord Zhang, is Lord Zhang here?" ”
After a while, a helpless voice sounded, and the entire mansion was also busy.
"Marshal Han, what are you yelling at early in the morning?" Uncle Zhang was wearing a cyan brocade robe, and there was obviously a touch of sleepiness on his face, and he strode out.
Seeing this, Han Shizhong smiled and said, "Lord Zhang, I'm sorry, but there is something important for you to say, so I have to be urgent!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the sleepiness on Uncle Zhang's face slowly receded, and he made a gesture of invitation to Han Shizhong and said, "Let's go to the study to talk, please!" ”
Han Shizhong did not refuse, and strode towards Uncle Zhang's study, here Han Shizhong has been here many times in the past few days, he can walk with his eyes closed, and he doesn't need Uncle Zhang to lead the way at all.
Later, after Zhang Shuye ordered to go down to prepare tea and pastries, he also strode to follow, looking at Han Shizhong, who didn't regard himself as an outsider at all, Zhang Shuye's face showed a wry smile.
The two of them sat down relatively in the study, and the tea and pastries that people quickly sent, and when there were only the two of them left in the study, Uncle Zhang said with a straight face: "Marshal Han, please say anything big!" ”
Han Shizhong twisted a piece of pastry with his thumb and forefinger and put it in his mouth, and said, "Two good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first, Lord Zhang?" ”
"Let's listen to the bad first!" Uncle Zhang also picked up a piece of pastry and ate it, took another sip of tea and said.
"The bad news is that the 6,000 Jin troops and nearly 20,000 rebels who attacked Yutian County have withdrawn, and they just arrived in Tangshan County in the early hours of this morning, which means that the enemy army in Tangshan County is now nearly 70,000!" Han Shizhong said.
Hearing this, Zhang Shuye's face changed slightly, Tangshan County has a scale of nearly 70,000 people at the moment, and it is even more difficult to capture it, but he looked at Han Shizhong's face and there was no urgency, his heart moved, and he asked, "What are the two good news?" ”
"Didn't you just say it, the enemy army in Yutian County has retreated, and the crisis in Yutian County has been lifted, and the guard general Yang Rong evacuated Baixin in the city into Tianjin County, and then led 12,000 troops to gather here with us, and at most we can arrive tomorrow! Here's the first good news! Han Shizhong replied.
This is indeed good news, and another 12,000 troops are here, so the army of Fengnan County has reached the scale of more than 60,000 people, in terms of quantity, it is not much less than the enemy army in Tangshan County.
After taking a sip of tea, Han Shizhong held a piece of pastry in his hand, but he didn't eat it immediately, and said: "The second good news is that the Marquis of Zhenbei led 5,000 cavalry with the cooperation of the defenders of Tanghai County to defeat the Goryeo army, beheading nearly 20,000 people, completely purging all the Goryeo troops in Tanghai County. ”
"Shhh Uncle Zhang gasped at night, he didn't expect that this Zhenbei Hou who came from afar would have such a means, the first battle was to behead 20,000 and wipe out the Goryeo army in Tanghai County, this record is enough to make people admire.
Looking at Zhang Shuye's expression, Han Shizhong smiled in his heart, because when he first heard the news, he was also startled, he didn't expect Liu Chen to be able to achieve such a big victory, which could effectively boost the morale of the soldiers and have a profound impact on the subsequent battles.
"Marshal Han, since the enemy in Tanghai County has been annihilated, when will the Marquis of Zhenbei come back here to join us?" Uncle Zhang hurriedly asked.
Hearing this, Han Shizhong did not hide it, and said: "The news says that Hou Ye is transferring the people of Tanghai County after Xu Zhi, the guard of Tanghai County, and after this matter is completed, with their foot strength, the group will arrive in three or four days, and we will have several armies in one place, with a total strength of more than 70,000, hehe, it will be those invaders who will have a headache at that time!" ”
Uncle Zhang listened to it at night, and his heart was also boiling, 70,000 troops, before the entire Tangshan County was only nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, the surrender of surrender, the death of the battle, made the Three Kingdoms Alliance like a no-man's land, and now there are 70,000 troops, I dare not guarantee that the invaders will be driven out, but at least it is a powerful deterrent to these invaders!
