Chapter 264: Warlord Planning
Full camp. , in the big tent 8, Zhuo Su Huo Ran has the right body, and a pair of eagle eyes shine brightly in the fire. He didn't know who was in charge of the army in Binh Duong. I haven't fought directly with Xu Wei, and I don't know much about his combat style. Heard only from somewhere else. Such as the Zijin bridge, Qixian grain robbery, Hebei pursuit, and Xishan Houji. Judging from these examples, the Purple Gold Tiger is still flexible in its use of troops. So is the manager. His subordinates should not be far behind. But my army of more than 100,000 people surrounded Pingyang like an iron bucket, did the other party dare to come and rob the camp?
"Marshal, Xu Wei fought hard, and he was deceitful. His willingness to put Pingyang Fortress in someone's hands with peace of mind shows his trust in this person. Judging from our army's tentative seizure of the city a few days ago, the Pingyang garrison is by no means an ordinary person. Seeing that her father was silent, Wanyan Huonu reminded again.
The commissioner left the handsome case, slowly walked out of the military tent, and looked towards the head of Pingyang City. In the past two days, my robe group is about to threaten, and it is reasonable for the Song army to choose to launch a sneak attack at this time. It doesn't matter if he comes or not. There's nothing wrong with my guarding. As soon as he thought of this, he asked, "Let me guess." If you are the general of the Song army, where should you attack? ”
Lead the robe car! "The beautiful woman is cut to the railroad." Only here is the weakness of our army, and if the other side sends troops to attack, it may be effective without my knowledge. ”
Hearing this, Ansu nodded slightly. Yes, I have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed outside the city, and it will be difficult for him to cause large losses no matter where he attacks.
In that case, then you're welcome. turned around and said to his son: "You ordered Tuhe to let him set up an ambush outside the Xicheng, where the Song army must be, and place more strong bows, so that he will not return!" ”
The military order was quickly executed, and the Dragon and Tiger King Wanyan suddenly received an order to immediately increase the garrison outside the West City. More than 2,000 people who were good at shooting were selected, and together with the defenders of the robes and chariots, they set up ambushes on both sides of the road that the Song army had to pass out of the city. Ann waited for the enemy to come
At the same time, Binh Duong City is also ready to go. Yang Zaixing's six hundred elite horsemen were well fed and drunk, rested sufficiently, and estimated that the third watch day had arrived, he took the lead in stepping on the war horse, holding an iron gun and shouting: "Brothers! Walk! The garrison quietly opened the gates, and the two moats outside had been connected by a moat bridge beforehand. Six hundred warriors urged their mounts and slowly walked out of Pingyang. In the darkness of the night, these six hundred horsemen were inconspicuous, and quietly touched towards the Jin army camp.
The horses were wrapped in all four hooves, and there was only a slight noise when walking. This elite force continued to advance under the leadership of Yang Zaixing. On all sides of Pingyang, except for the hillside that could not be pushed away, the Jin army cleared all the objects that blocked the view, not even a single tree was left. The cavalry were not afraid, and saw from afar the bonfires piled up in the Jin army camp, and the soldiers on patrol kept coming and going, and everyone adjusted their breathing to try to calm themselves down.
In the middle of the night, the Jin Army's rangers also took it back, and it was a good time to steal chickens and dogs! Yang Zaixing suddenly straightened up on horseback. Clamp your legs hard! The war horse is in pain, and the hooves are galloping! He made this move. As if a thunderbolt had been detonated, six hundred cavalry moved at the same time and rushed towards the enemy camp! The dull sound of hooves suddenly sounded, and this army of soldiers and horses was like arrows off the string! The sentry of the Jin Army on the tower appeared abnormal, and just as he was about to shout, an iron arrow roared and hit him in the chest!
"Kill!" A tiger roared. Yang Zaixing takes the lead! The iron gun in his hand struggled to pick up, picked up a horse next to him, and fell straight to a few steps away!
In a split second! There was a lot of cheering in the Jin barracks. The patrolling team network stopped. Suddenly I felt a strong wind blowing in my face! This small group of men and horses was unable to gallop and was torn apart by the galloping horse army! Yang Zaixing's gun, as if it had eyes, stabbed left and right! A Jin sergeant raised his sword to block. But he was shocked by the huge force and sat on the ground, and was about to get up, but the tip of the spear had already passed through his body!
As one of the cavalrymen charged, he leaned down and scooped up a piece of burning wood from the ground and held it in his hand. Follow the direction of the Mercedes-Benz all the way to the fire. The enemy troops who rushed out of the tent in a hurry were often knocked into a daze! Panicked roars filled the barracks, and six hundred Song cavalry ran through the entire camp, slaughtering everywhere and setting fires everywhere. The soldiers of the Jin Army only saw burning military tents and running companions. If you are caught off guard, you will be stabbed from somewhere, and you will be killed.
"Where the noise!" In the main camp of the Jin Army, the poison Su heard the movement and immediately summoned Wanyan Huonu to inquire.
"Marshal! Song rode out of the north gate and robbed my camp! The living girl reported anxiously.
North City? Poison Su's face changed, and he ran out of the tent to look north, and sure enough, he saw that the fire was rising, and there was a faint sound of fighting coming from the wind. What a Southern Army guard, take it by surprise? In a fit of rage, the commander of the Jin army shouted: "Living girl! You immediately rate... The words came to an abrupt end here.
Wanyan was waiting for her father's order to lead the army to reinforcements, but when she saw her father frowning and silent, she was thoughtful. I didn't dare to disturb at the moment, so I could only wait quietly.
"Haha, I waited for it, but it was the commissioner who looked up to the sky and laughed!
The living girl's heroic face suddenly showed a puzzled look, could it be that the marshal saw something flawed? At this time, Yelu Ma Wu and the two generals of Wanyan Yinshu also came in a hurry, and when they saw the boss laughing loudly, they all looked at Wanyan Huonu in confusion. The latter shook his head, and I didn't understand.
Wanyan Lou Su continued to laugh, shook his head and said: "The Pingyang guard does have the means, but after all, he is still a little tender. How can such tricks be hidden from me? But he just wants to attack the north of the city and distract me so that he can destroy my robe in the west city. ”
Two, two, and five heard this. Think about it. also felt reasonable, so he smiled and said: "Carving... It seems that he dares to make an axe, and the marshal will make more gains than losses, "no matter what the real purpose of the Yugoslav army is." This must be saved first," finished Yan Yinshu, but halfway through the words, Lou Su interrupted.
"Don't save! You wait, and then the Yugoslavs will retreat." After saying this, he went straight back to the handsome case and sat down. It's like nothing. Really! Not long after, the camps in the northern city came to report that the Ma army that had gone out of the city to attack the southern army was about to evacuate. Our army was caught off guard, with more than 1,000 casualties, many military tents were burned, and the soldiers were rescuing. When the generals heard the news, they all admired it. Since the marshal can lead the western road, he is naturally not an ordinary person, and since the other party's tricks have been discovered, he is afraid that he will have to repay this account with interest later...... Live Girl! You add another 2,000 troops to set up a heavy ambush for the Song army! The battalions were ordered to withdraw the sentry rangers on all three sides, except for the northern city of Binh Duong. Let Song Jun rest assured and boldly come to the camp! A cruel smile flashed across the concubine's face. Xu Hu'er, don't think that you can be called a famous general after winning a few battles, your Jurchen grandfather has gone through a hundred battles to get today's status. If it is planted in the hands of your generals, it will be called a joke! When we take Pingyang and attack Guanzhong in one fell swoop, you will be trapped in Zhaode!
The rangers were all collected, the sentinels were all withdrawn, and Pingyang was dead on three sides. The north side of the net was robbed by Yang Zaixing for a while. Those who fight fires, those who heal wounds, and those who have nothing to do. The shuttle is like a shuttle, and it is very lively. Taking advantage of the night, Wanyan Huonu led two thousand elites to quietly touch Xicheng.
Behind a small hill, if you don't look closely, it will be difficult to see countless ambush soldiers lying on the ground, all motionless, holding bows in their hands and clasping their bowstrings. Only occasionally one or two people emerge from the top of the slope and look vigilantly at the west gate of Pingyang City. When the living girl led the army to reinforcements, Wanyan suddenly even complained. Isn't it just an ambush? Do you need to be so excited? But the living girl ignored him, and ordered someone to set up the horse in a hidden place, as long as the other party rushed out, the bow and crossbow were shot indiscriminately, and the horse was blocked. Ambush the soldiers and kill them together! Extinguishing the spirit of the Song army tonight and capturing the city tomorrow, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?
Xu Wei sat on the top of the festival hall, and the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" in his hand was turning to the chapter of "Instrument Diagram Firearms". This chapter depicts in detail the shapes of the various firearms of the Song army, as well as the manufacturing methods and gunpowder formulas. What puzzled him was that there were at least three gunpowder formulas in "The General Essentials of the Martial Arts". Take the formula of thunderbolt cannon as an example, there are thirteen kinds of ingredients, such as sulfur, wohuang, flame nitrate, hemp ru, dry lacquer, fixed powder, bamboo tendon, yellow dan, yellow wax, clear oil, tung oil, pine resin, and concentrated oil. Is this gunpowder or burgh soup?
Place the book on the desk. Rubbing his eyes, Xu Wei stretched. It's unreliable, this book is unreliable, I said that the thunderbolt cannon is so quiet that it can't kill a few people. When Li Xuanfu fulfills the third promise, he has to think about it
Pacing to the door of the festival hall, it was estimated that the time was almost the same. Why hasn't Yang Zaixing come back yet? Could it be that something has changed? After standing for a while, blowing a cold wind, I went back and read a few pages, and there was a kind of gunpowder recipe that actually appeared in the croton! Isn't that? "Report!" The guard let out a long shout, letting Xu Wei know that there was a result.
Yang Zaixing strode into the festival hall, and Xu Wei saw that he was intact and relieved. This person is tenacious at the moment, and if there is a mistake, he will never retreat.
"Recruit the public, humiliate and be ordered to touch the camp, and the brothers will serve their lives to break the gold barracks and plug two! Our casualties are less than a hundred! Yang Zaixing stood in the hall with a golden knife and reported with pride.
Break two enemy camps? No wonder, I'm still worried that something has happened to him, it turns out that he has gone to kill the golden dog. After comforting him at the moment, he ordered him to go down to rest, and then put the reward money. Yang Zaixing thanked him, turned around and walked out.
"Slow!" Xu Wei suddenly shouted. Break two enemy camps? Less than a hundred casualties? Even if Yang Zaixing is a god descending from heaven, it is impossible to have such a record, right? In the first battle of Xiaoshang River in history, Yang Zaixing led 300 elite cavalry as an outpost and suddenly encountered the Jin Army Brigade at Xiaoshang Bridge. Caught in a siege. After a bloody battle. Although he killed two thousand enemies, in the end, the whole army was annihilated. Could it be that the Jurchens let you go back and forth without sending troops to rescue?
"Returning to the prime minister, until our troops withdraw and return to the city, I have not seen a large number of Jin troops come to help." Yang Zaixing reported truthfully.
Go Xu Wei waved his hand, and Yang Zaixing withdrew. Throw away the reason, how can you meet the camp and not come to the rescue? The Jin army surrounded Pingyang, and if it was said that there were no troops to draw, the ghost would believe it. Obviously has enough troops in his hands, but he sees Yang Zaixing and does not save him, what is this?
Thinking about it, he couldn't figure out the essentials, so he immediately called the herald. Ordered Matteidu Feihu not to leave the city for the time being. If you don't understand this, it's a confused war. You can't do that. "Please come and see Mr. Ma
At the head of the city, Xu Wei tightened his robe. A pair of eyes searched around. Heavy footsteps sounded behind him, and he knew it must be Ma Kuan. These days. Although Ma Zichong's injury is gradually improving, it is not as simple as drawing two cuts after all. "Brother Zichong. Don't blame me for disturbing your dreams, it's just that there is an important matter that I can't figure out, and I also ask my brother to counsel one or two. Xu Wei chuckled.
Ma Kuo was dressed very thickly, tightened his neckline and came to him, and said softly: "If you don't summon, I won't be able to sleep and finish speaking, I glanced into the distance and saw a fire in front of the Jin military camp." I didn't notice anything different at the moment, and I looked to the left again, and immediately frowned."
Xu Wei saw him like this, so he said: "Except for the north, there is no movement in the other three parties, which is normal and reasonable, right?" ”
Ma Kuo didn't say anything, looking at it like this, Yang Zaixing was in the way. Extrapolated by common sense. This north has just been attacked, and the Jin army has come to deal with the aftermath, and it is indeed normal that there is no movement in other places.
"But Yang Zaixing broke two stoppers in a row, and his own casualties were less than a hundred, is it normal?" Xu Wei asked again.
When Ma Kuo heard this, he immediately asked, "Is there such a thing?" No way! No way! unless
"Unless the Jin army doesn't have reinforcements, right?" Xu Wei immediately said.
Ma Kuogang nodded, and suddenly raised his head again: "Is there really no commission?"
After seeing Xu Wei's nod, Ma Kuo couldn't help but take a breath. What he was thinking about at this time was the same as Xu Wei, there was no reason for Lou Su not to reinforce him! Did he see a flaw? After thinking for a while, Ma Kuo said in a deep voice: "There is an explanation, or it can be said to be overdone. ”
I wish to leave the details, Xu Wei said sideways.
"The reason why Concubine Su didn't send reinforcements was because he knew that Yang Zaixing was just going to make a false shot. It won't take long to retreat. There is no need for aid, and it is useless to chase, so the troops will not move and expand the road.
Xu Wei listened to it and smashed his mouth, as if he had a toothache. If the committee judges that Yang Zaixing is going to make a false shot, then it means that he has expected that my main attack direction is not in the north of the city? In that case, he must have guessed that I was beating him up on the idea of the robe cart.
Ma Kuo sighed: "Isn't it easy to be with Wanyan in the end." At this point, he paused slightly, and then said, "Let the Horseedu Flying Tiger stop the army." When you go out, you hit your head and break the bloodstream. ”
Xu Wei seemed to be a little unwilling, and suddenly raised his hand and waved it to the west: "Brother Zichong, guess how many troops did Lou Su lay down for me in this piece?"
Ma Kuo didn't look at it, and said directly: "The ironclad is several times that of Madu." ”
Xu Wei was silent when he heard this, he couldn't hurt him tonight. Tomorrow, at most the day after tomorrow, the west city of Binh Duong will usher in a rain of stone bombardment, which will be a severe test for the city defense.
"Don't worry about courting the public. Wang Yu's defense system of these two trenches and three walls does not dare to say that it is unbreakable. But at least for now. I haven't even figured out the flaws in it. The Jin army wants to capture Pingyang City, I'm afraid it won't be so easy, Ma Kuo saw that Xu Wei was silent, so he was relieved.
Xu Wei chuckled lightly, noncommittal. In fact, he was not worried about Pingyang, especially after receiving Wang Yu's help. What he was worried about was. Only after the end of Yan Concubine Su led such a heroic teacher into the statue, it is enough to show that the Jurchen is determined to destroy the Song Dynasty this time. In this case, the Jin army is by no means more than just a promise. Although he is in Binh Duong City, he has no information about the outside world. But he still judged that the Jin army might have at least all the way down from Hebei. There is no reason for the Jurchens not to use the vast North China Plain, right?
The defense of the two rivers has been completely destroyed, and now although Zhang's Daimyo's mansion is training the army, and the fifth brother is also stationed in Shandong, it is still necessary to say whether he can stop the Jurchens. If it can't be supported, Zhao Huan is guarding. Or run away? If it is guarded, it doesn't matter if he is finished, he is most afraid of transferring the king of the Western Army to Qinwang. In case the eldest brother Xu Yuan's Jingyuan soldiers are transferred, what else will I sing? No matter how chaotic the battlefield in the Central Plains is, as long as my Xu family brother has territory and army in Shaanxi, I will have the capital to change the situation.
I don't know if Li Gang handed over the defense of Shaanxi to the eldest brother and the fourth brother as agreed, if it has been successful. Then even if Tokyo transfers the Western Army again. It is also impossible to transfer troops from the Shaanxi-China front. In this way, I blocked Lou Su in Hedong, and the eldest brother and fourth brother held the troops behind to support the waist, which could be attacked and defended when retreating. If Zhao Huan transfers the King of the Western Army, it will just give my Xu family room to expand!
If Zhao Huan chooses to give up Tokyo. There are two more cases. The first is to retreat to the pass. That is, to retreat to Jingzhao. In this case, for himself, although it is not as good as before, since the emperor has arrived in Chang'an, Shaanxi cannot afford to lose. It is necessary to strengthen the defense of the Shaanxi and China fronts and reinforce the Hedong battlefield. And in the six-way Western Army. Zhao Huan is the most reluctant to sacrifice anyone. Naturally, it was the troops of the three brothers of my Xu family. We were cultivated and promoted by him, and between the other Western armies and us, I believe his inclination is still obvious. In this way, the Xu family can also be expanded.
The second is to retreat to the south. In this case, it is more troublesome. If Zhao Huan runs, Shaanxi is far away from the emperor of the mountain, and no matter how Li Gang and He Guan, I am afraid that they will not be able to control the situation. The fighting between the various factions of the Western Army will also be more intense. There may even be a fire merger, but as for the rebellion, it is estimated that it is unlikely. If this situation happens, I am not afraid, as long as the eldest brother and the fourth brother have soldiers in their hands and the ground under their feet, looking at the six roads in Shaanxi, who dares to swallow the three brothers of my Xu family? Who has such a good tooth?
There is also a worst-case scenario, that is, Zhao Huan does not run and sticks to Tokyo. Then it was broken by the Jin army, and as in history, the second emperor of Huiqin abducted the Jurchens again, and the shame of Jingkang became the shame of Longxing. If this is really the case, it can only be his Zhao father and son, and I will not be implicated. But to be honest, after two southern invasions by the Jin Army, if Zhao Huan hadn't grown up with more eyes, he could only say that he deserved it, who would die if he didn't die?
All in all, as long as Li Gang fulfills his promise, as long as the Xu Ziqi is planted on Shaanhua Road now, then he is not afraid of anything! No matter how chaotic the world is, I will stand still!
