Chapter 0210: The Deployment of the Jizhou Army
(For unknown reasons, in the author's background, the word "he" is entered by Zhang He, and it is automatically replaced with "he", and there is no solution for the time being.) When you get home, you'll look into it. It's also awkward to look at it myself/(ćoć)/~~)
"Damn, this road is really not walked by people!" Cheng Biting Jin scolded foul language, but he was very satisfied with the performance of this team of brothers.
In two days, I traveled more than 200 miles and was about to arrive at my destination, Jingcheng.
There was a sound of horses' hooves, and a scout galloped towards him.
"Li Du Lieutenant Order!" The scout handed over Lee so-sung's order.
Li Xiucheng was ordered to garrison the Jingcheng Pass and command the three places of Yuxian, and Cheng Biting Jin and Pei Yuanshao were all controlled by him.
"Read!" Cheng bit Jin didn't know a few big characters, so he had to ask his subordinates for help.
Before Cheng Biting Jin Pei Yuanshao arrived, Li Xiucheng had already divided his troops and deployed the three places of Jingcheng Pass, and the three county towns had allocated garrison teams, just waiting for Cheng Pei and the others to arrive.
Li Xiucheng ordered, Cheng Biting Jin Pei Yuanshao immediately divided the troops. Pei Yuanshao will be stationed in Yangqu; Cheng Biting Jin led the troops, first rushed to Yuxian to meet with Li Xiucheng's troops, and then rushed to Wolf Meng.
Yuxian County and Wolf Meng are relatively close to each other, showing the trend of horns. Regarding Cheng Biting Jin's ability, Li Xiucheng was also quite relieved, and had no other instructions. As for Pei Yuanshao, Li Xiucheng repeatedly told him in the military order not to go out of the city to meet the enemy easily, but to stick to it.
At the moment of the military order, Cheng Biting Jin Pei Yuanshao did not dare to joke. Double-crossed hands lead the way.
"Brother, you Shouyang Song, you have to be smart." Cheng Bites Jin doesn't say a few words, and his heart will itch.
"There are Li Duwei and Old Brother Cheng in front, you can't come over, the Jizhou army can't come."
Cheng Yanjin ignored Pei Yuanshao's praise and said very seriously: "Jingcheng is the gate of our state." Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses are strong, you brother and I dare not guarantee that I will not let a few Yuan soldiers come over. ā
"Old Brother Cheng, you can rest assured. Even if Yuan Jun rushed to Yangqu," Pei Yuanshao shook the knife in his hand, "Brother, my knife is not vegetarian!" ā
"If you don't blow it, can you die?" Cheng Yanjin complained, "You've been with me for so long, why haven't you grown yet?" ā
Pei Yuanshao pursed his lips and scratched his head. Heart: I have grown! I've been with you for so long, and my bragging skills have already risen!
"Guarding Yangqu is strategic, understand?" Cheng Yanjin pulled Pei Yuanshao's knife aside, stretched out his finger and stabbed Pei Yuanshao's head, "Defend the city, rely on here!" Brute force wants bad things to drop! ā
"Okay, brother, can't I listen to you?" Pei Yuanshao didn't want to listen to Cheng biting Jin's verbosity.
Since attaching the young master Liu Mang, Pei Yuanshao led the troops alone for the first time. Although there are not many people, they are the leaders of one side! Pei Yuanshao was very proud.
Cheng Yanjin said goodbye to Pei Yuanshao and led the team to rush to Wolf Meng.
The three places of Yuxian County - Yuxian, Wolf Meng, and Yangqu - are located in Jingcheng Pass Road.
Yuxian and Wolf Meng, only more than ten miles apart, are located on the Jingcheng Pass Road. As long as these two places are controlled, they will control the grain route of the westward Jizhou army.
Yangqu is a little farther away from Yuxian Wolf Meng, and is the supply support route for Yu County and Wolf Meng.
As long as these three counties are firmly held, Jizhou will not be able to smoothly enter the Taiyuan Basin, even if there are thousands of troops and horses.
Cheng Yanjin saw Li Xiucheng, the two discussed the details of mutual support and cooperation, and the scouts came to report that the Jizhou army was camped thirty miles away from Langmeng in Yuxian County, and it was expected that an attack would be launched tomorrow.
The two looked at each other. They are confident that they will hold the city, but they also know very well that the battle of Jingcheng will be a tough battle!
ā¦ā¦
In the Jizhou military camp, the supervising army Feng Ji, the general Zhang He, the deputy general Jiang Qi, the Yamen general Guo Yuan, Cui Juye, Wei Yuanjin, Lu Xiang, Lu Kuang, Wang Mo and others gathered in the Chinese military tent to discuss the offensive strategy.
Jizhou soldiers are fierce, and they have fought in Jizhou in the past two years without defeat.
Now that he will face the little-known Yanmen Liu Mang, all the generals in Jizhou feel that studying the offensive strategy is really a lot of moves. Just wave the flag, attack and overcome, and you can drive straight into Taiyuan.
Yamen general Wei Yuanjin patted his chest and asked: "Please be a pioneer!" Straight to Jinyang City! ā
Zhang He shook his head. "Yuan Jin is brave, but the battle of Taiyuan is by no means so simple. Our army should fight steadily and steadily, step by step. Zhang He turned his head to Feng Ji and said: "Mr. Yuantu, tomorrow, I will lead the troops to three roads, and divide the three places of Yuxian, Langmeng, and Yangqu, and Mr. will be stationed in the camp to protect the heavy grain and grass, can you?" ā
Feng Ji said with a smile: "General Junyi, since we were ordered by Yuan Gong, we will send 10,000 elite soldiers in Jizhou to conquer the unrighteous Liu Mang, just attacking the city and capturing the fortress is not enough!" ā
"What should I do in Mr. Yuantu's opinion?"
Feng Ji said very seriously: "The battle of Jingcheng must not only be won in one battle, but also won cleanly, so as to demonstrate the justice of Yuan Gong and my Jizhou." ā
Seeing that all the generals were puzzled, Feng Ji stood up, pointed to the map, and explained confidently: "The three places in Yuxian County are all located on the Jingcheng Road. And before Yuxian and Wolf Mengtu, the Yanmen army will definitely be heavily armed. Yangqu is located at the end of the well, and the Yanmen army will be unprepared. This is the key to Jingcheng! ā
"What do you mean, sir?"
"Tomorrow, our army will send troops to attack Yuxian and Wolf Meng respectively, so that it will be difficult for the enemy of the two cities to get out, and send an elite soldier to penetrate Yangqu and conquer it, so that Yuxian Wolf Meng will become a lonely city, and it will be broken by our army! If you get these three places, then the well is unblocked, and my Jizhou army can come and go at will, and Taiyuan is at your fingertips! ā
"Mr. Yuantu is really high!" Zhang He praised it from the bottom of his heart, stared for a moment, and his eyes lit up. "Tomorrow, send a department to feint and attack Yu County; Another part was sent to play the banner of Zhang and feint to attack Wolf Meng. The enemy mistakenly believes that Wolf Meng is the target of our army's main attack. Bring only one of them, straight into the yang song! ā
Feng Ji stroked his palms and smiled: "Very good! ā
Troop advantage, careful planning, Yuxian three places, almost into the bag. The generals of Jizhou were extremely excited and asked for help.
Zhang He ordered the deputy general Jiang Qi and the Yamen general Wei Yuanjin to lead 2,000 troops and feint to attack Yuxian. The brothers Ling Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang led 2,000 troops, and under their own banners, they feinted to attack Wolf Meng. Zhang He, Cui Juye, Wang Mo led 3,000 elite soldiers to raid Yangqu. Feng Ji took Guo Yuan to guard the camp and respond to all roads.
ā¦ā¦
Li Xiucheng is well aware of the daunting task he undertakes.
In his hands, there were 1,000 foot soldiers from the headquarters brought by Yanmen, 500 people from Cheng Biting Jin Pei Yuanshao who rushed back from Xihe County, and less than 500 Taiyuan soldiers after seizing the three places of Jingcheng.
Two thousand people, divided into three places, against the army of 10,000 people in Jizhou, even if it is the loyal and brave Li Xiucheng, there is no certainty.
Li Xiucheng takes personal life and death very lightly, but the defense of Jingcheng is related to the overall situation of Taiyuan, and if he is not careful, there is a danger that the entire Taiyuan strategy will fail.
Li Xiucheng has calculated countless times how to distribute these two thousand people.
The three county seats, conquered by the Jizhou army, are equivalent to opening the door of Jingcheng.
It is not clear what the Jizhou army is planning, but Li Xiucheng has the talent of a commander, and according to his understanding of the way of employing troops, Li Xiucheng believes that although the Jizhou army has the ability to attack on three fronts at the same time, it will definitely have key targets.
However, where is the focus of the Jizhou Army's offensive?
The number of troops in his hands was too small, and the enemy's plan was not clear, so Li Xiucheng made careful calculations and first stationed 600 people in each of the three places.
Where should the remaining 200 elite soldiers be arranged?
