Chapter 144: Planned Breakthrough
Zhang Hong pointed to Yutu and said: "Now that we are surrounded by Poshui, the way back has been cut off, it is better to do the opposite, no longer east to Danyang, but west to Yuzhang to break through, and then surprise attack the enemy-controlled Poyang, when the time comes, or supply, or defend the city, depending on the situation is making plans." ”
Tai Shi Ci was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the slightly lonely county town on the map that was almost at the end of Poshui, because it was a hundred miles away from here!
If it was a surprise attack of 100 miles in normal times, he was confident that he would arrive in one day, but now there are tens of thousands of enemy troops surrounding them, and it is very difficult to break through for a few miles every day in the past few days, let alone 100 miles!
Zhang Ying was a little furious when he heard this, and couldn't help but sarcastically say: "Master Commander, are you kidding!" If we can break out, what are we doing here hungry? Besides, why don't you go back to Danyang when you break out, what are you doing running to Yuzhang, and send you to death? What else do you say and then make plans, do you want to join the enemy? ”
Zhang Hong didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Zhang Ying's words, and explained to him very seriously: "We broke through for three days in a row, so that the enemy's main force was transferred to the east, so it is easier to break through in the west now."
But after we break through, if we still retreat to Danyang to the east, it will just be a repeat of the mistakes of the past, so we have to change directions.
In addition, we have no supplies and are in enemy territory, so we must find a nearby city, and the closest to us is Poyang. ”
Tai Shici understood what Zhang Hong meant, but he was still puzzled: "But after the enemy knows that we have changed direction, won't they still pursue and encircle?" ”
"So you can't let them know!" Zhang Hong said categorically, "In this way, we need to divide our troops, and we need to travel hundreds of miles at night to attack Poyang; One was left to attract the enemy to pursue and cover the surprise attack from being discovered. ”
To attack Poyang, you need to travel hundreds of miles at night. Tai Shi Ci understood the meaning of this sentence, because when there was no time and siege weapons, the best way to surprise the city was to steal.
The so-called stealing is to take advantage of the opening of the city gate, send troops to mix in the crowd waiting to enter the city, and when the city gate opens, they will seize the city gate, and then the army will appear to attack.
Otherwise, when there are few people, it will be too conspicuous to rob the city gate again, and it will be difficult to steal the city again.
Therefore, the surprise attack had to reach Poyang before the end of the day, which required a night march of a hundred miles.
As for leaving a film to attract enemy troops, it is easy to understand, because surprise attacks cannot be discovered, otherwise a herald can do bad things......
At this time, Tai Shi Ci suddenly came to his senses, and said in surprise: "The military advisor asked me to kill all the enemy cavalry before, just to prevent them from sending Poyang to the news?" ”
Zhang Hong nodded, but still said with a worried face: "This is one of them, the important thing is to eliminate the enemy scouts and prevent them from discovering the surprise attack force." However, the enemy still has the horses, so we are still at risk of being discovered. ”
On the side, Zhang Ying understood that Zhang Hong had a plan, and his heart suddenly became angry: "Since you have already thought about this strategy, why are you saying it now?" Do you know how many people have died under my command in the past few days in order to break through? ”
Seeing Zhang Ying's anger, Tai Shici hurriedly stopped: "Before, the main force of the enemy army was scattered, and there were still a lot of scouts, so this strategy could not be implemented at all at that time. ”
"......" Zhang Ying was still a little dissatisfied with Zhang Hong, but he didn't say much anymore and began to ponder the feasibility of this strategy.
In fact, they have no choice now, it would be nice to have a way, otherwise when they are hungry and tired, they will have to be slaughtered.
The reality is there, the west is indeed better than the east to break through; If the army has no food, it needs to be replenished by the city; With few soldiers, the city wall was needed for defense, and the only nearby city that could meet these conditions was Poyang.
So the three of them stopped talking nonsense, and after discussing the details, it was finally decided that Tai Shici would pick out some soldiers with fast legs and good endurance to attack Poyang, Zhang Ying would leave behind to lead the troops, and Zhang Hong would stay to assist Zhang Ying.
Zhang Ying and Zhang Hong are a little at odds, but relatively speaking, although it is difficult to stay behind, it is more complicated to implement; The surprise attack is difficult, but it is simple, you only need to run all the time, and then steal a city and it will be over, so Zhang Hong finally chose to stay to assist Zhang Ying.
After drawing out the details, the whole army began to rest and accumulate strength, and there was no more strategy such as making noise or feints, because their every move was under the surveillance of the enemy, and it was only a superfluous move and a waste of physical strength to do this.
All they had to do was make a surprise attack to the west, take him by surprise, and rush out before the enemy could react. No matter what strategy you play, it's just a matter of adding to the snake.
After dividing the tasks, the generals returned to the headquarters and began to deploy, and more than 7,000 Danyang soldiers slowly quieted down, so many people suddenly did not move, but it would attract the attention of the enemy, and it was completely a posture of mountain rain coming, but Tai Shici did not stop it, because of this atmosphere, there has been every day recently.
Time passed little by little, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the Danyang soldiers began to tense their bodies, because they knew that the time was coming......
"Rush!" At the moment when the sun set, Tai Shici, who was already ready to attack, suddenly burst out, taking the lead in killing the enemy army in the west, and more than 7,000 Danyang soldiers were also like a flood that opened the floodgates, bursting out all the physical strength that had been accumulated for half a day, and following the main general, killing the unprepared enemy!
The coalition forces surrounded on three sides were only more than 500 steps away from the Danyang soldiers, and they were about to charge with all their might, so when Tai Shi Ci saw the faces of the enemy soldiers clearly, they still looked at a loss!
"Bang!" After Tai Shi Ci rode a war horse and flew away with the first enemy soldier, he rushed into the enemy formation and slashed it, and the enemy army in the west was unprepared, and even the formation was not arranged, and it was suddenly a mess.
Tai Shi Ci found that the enemy army here was not only fragile, even the fortifications were all like goods, no one used them at all, and the manpower and material resources were not coordinated at all, which made him suddenly increase his confidence, and his combat power also soared, and at this time, seven thousand Danyang soldiers finally rushed into the enemy formation, and the results of the battle expanded, but the enemy army was chaotic, and at a glance it was all new soldiers, and even showed signs of rout.
"Good chance!" Tai Shi Ci found that the enemy army may collapse at the touch of a button, but it is still one step away! So he glanced and found that there was a military general on horseback behind the enemy, who was commanding loudly, trying to restore the chaos. This is very conspicuous in the case of the loss of horses on both sides, and it is a good target to hit the morale of the enemy, so Tai Shici gave up the way of fighting to disrupt the enemy's formation, and rushed towards the general!
Taishi shot charitably, but at this time, the effect of shooting down a military general was not obvious enough, and it might not be able to attract the attention of many enemies, so he chose to kill in close quarters to shock the audience, and unabashedly killed a bloody way, rushing straight to the enemy general......
