Chapter 73 It is more difficult to fight than to fight, and to get Dongyang to Chengdu (2)

In order to throw stones to ask for directions, Meng Zhixiang sent three troops and horses to go to the three garrisons of Li Congshi Jingjiao.

These three forces of soldiers and horses have advantages and disadvantages, the elite are concentrated in one way, and the tactics adopted are to drag the two divisions of the Protector Army on the other two roads, defeat one of them with the elite, and then turn to the strategy of combining troops and sharing food.

When Li Congjing received the battle report, these three battles had already entered a high tide.

However, it was said that Li Congke and Shi Jingjiao faced two weaker Xichuan troops, and Shi Chonggui faced the Xichuan elite.

Because Li Congke and Shi Jing Jiao Shi were not far apart, the first two quickly knew Meng Zhixiang's strategy of using troops, and the two of them sent a message to Shi Chonggui at the same time, asking him to hold on for a while, and the two then sent troops to help.

That being said, this is not the case.

The so-called two weak Xichuan armies are also weak generals and not weak generals - Xichuan does not lack good generals, and the two Xichuan armies do not seek to win in battle, but only want to drag the enemy in front of them, so Li Congshi Jingjiao can't withdraw.

Shi Chonggui led his headquarters to fight fiercely for two hours, but finally could not resist the attack of the enemy's superior forces, began to retreat, and was finally defeated, so he had to take the road and leave.

After defeating Shi Chonggui's department, this Xichuan elite did not love to fight, and turned to Li Congke's department.

When the Xichuan Army chose the order of facing the enemy, it was ordered by Meng Zhixiang and was particular.

It's easy to say, it's nothing more than easy to difficult.

Li Congke was killed by a Xichuan army, and he couldn't help but secretly scream in his heart.

Looking at its formation, there are more than 2,000 people, plus the original enemy in front of him, three times his own strength, Li Congke knows that he can't resist it.

However, he can't resist but can't retreat, since the other party appeared here, Li Congke knew that Shi Chonggui had been defeated, if he was defeated again, Shi Jingjiao would be difficult to support, and when the whole army was defeated, even if he escaped and didn't die, it would be difficult to escape the blame in front of Li Congjing.

Li Congke was ruthless and led his guards to move forward bravely, even though his bloody robe was soaked and he did not retreat.

Thanks to the soldiers and horses he led, it was a part of the headquarters, and it had a centripetal force that Shi Chonggui did not have, so he barely resisted for a while.

Rao is like this, when it was almost two hours, Li Congke also felt that the general trend had gone.

Seeing that the Xichuan army had the upper hand and killed his own soldiers on their backs, Li Congke's heart was painful, and he had scolded Li Congjing eighteen times in his heart, but he had to shout in his mouth to serve the country and inspire the soldiers to fight.

Just when Li Congke was about to lose his support, the Xichuan army in front of him suddenly changed its formation and retreated, leaving the battlefield at a very fast speed, and then waved his division away.

The sudden change made the Baoyi army dumbfounded, and Li Congke, who had picked up a life, was secretly glad that he had no time to figure out the reason for the enemy's retreat, so he raised Zhou's generals and soldiers.

"The thieves retreated so quickly!"

Gao Xingzhou saw the Xichuan army fleeing from a distance, although he felt pity, but he couldn't take too much care of it, and immediately took a picture with Li Congke, and then waved his army to chase him out.

He had received Li Congjing's order to rush to Chengdu City.

Seeing that Gao Xingzhou's department was rushing to Chengdu like a whirlwind, Li Congke jumped to his feet in anger and secretly scolded Li Congjing for being a bastard, obviously there were still military horses to be arranged in Chengdu, why didn't he send them over as soon as possible, so that his troops suffered so many losses in vain!

However, Li Congjing did not intend to make things difficult for Li Congke.

Just like the Battle of Jianzhou, Li Congke and Shi Jingjiao suffered heavy losses, and it was not Li Congjing's intention to do this, it was just a tactical need.

It's just that Li Congjing won't explain this to Li Congke and Shi Jingjiao, because it's useless to explain, the losses of the two are there after all, and words can be remedied.

When Gao Xing Zhou Chen soldiers were under the city of Chengdu, all the soldiers and horses sent by Meng Zhixiang had returned to the city - this time the Xichuan army achieved greater results than Meng Zhixiang achieved in front of the city the day before.

Thanks to Meng Zhixiang's face-to-face teaching and reasonable arrangements for the battle before leaving, the Xichuan Army that went out to fight this time, although it faced Gao Xingzhou's help, did not suffer any losses.

I have to say that Meng Zhixiang is indeed cunning and cunning, and he is not comparable to Li Shaobin.

This was a good situation and an exciting scene, but when thousands of soldiers and horses from Xingzhou's department appeared in the city, Meng Zhixiang was not half happy in his heart, on the contrary, he was so annoyed that he couldn't beat his chest.

Gao Xingzhou's appearance outside Chengdu means that Li Congjing's intentions are finally clear, he really wants to take Dongyang first!

Why?

Gao Xingzhou led the rampage army, strong combat power, in the forbidden army is also the second place in the storage zĂ i, not the two local armies to protect the country and protect righteousness can be compared, they appeared outside the city of Chengdu, it is obvious that they are not here to attack the city - if you want to attack the city, it is not enough to only rampage the army, you need the main force of the Wang division to come.

Since it is not for the siege of the city, the only purpose for the rampage army to appear here is to lead the soldiers and horses into the capital!

Meng Zhixiang could send soldiers and horses out of the city to attack the two armies of the protector of the country and the righteousness, but he could not lightly let the Xichuan army fight the rampage army - not to mention anything else, the number of the rampage army was only close to twice that of the two armies of the protector and the righteousness.

Therefore, at this time, Meng Zhixiang's face was like ashes.

How could he not know that since Li Congjing dared to be so blatant and put the rampant army in front of Chengdu City, he did not shy away from his own intentions.

Li Congjing dared to do this, which meant that the battle of Dongyang had come to an end, and it was a foregone conclusion On the second day and night of Guo Wei and Li Shaocheng's joint attack on Dongyang City, the Jiedu envoy and the defense envoy who had just been replaced from the blood and fire battle array met a person in the camp tent that they could not have imagined no matter what.

"Strategist?"

"The two generals have worked hard."

Standing in front of Guo Wei and Li Shaocheng was Mo Li, who was a white-robed folding fan, and he smiled and bowed his hand to the two, "How is the battle situation in the city?" ”

"One city wall has been captured, but there are still three walls that are resisting stubbornly, and street fighting is also going on locally."

Guo Wei and Li Shaocheng clasped their fists and saluted, unable to hide their consternation, "How did the military advisor get here?" ”

"A city wall has been taken, but the ability to fight will not retreat, and the tenacity of the thief army's will is indeed rare."

Mo Li sighed in admiration, and Xia Luqi in the middle, "In this way, I'm afraid that the three-day period has arrived, and Dongyang may not be able to completely take it, is it right?" ”

Xia Luqi's face was full of embarrassment, and Guo Wei and Li Shaocheng also bowed their heads in shame.

If it weren't for the fact that the shape was really severe, how could the three of them be so willing to bow down?

"Meng Lao Thief hid some soldiers and horses in the city in advance, and they were not used on the battlefield until yesterday, which caught Er and the others off guard, and also caused the balance of enemy and our strength to change again, this is an unexpected situation, and you can't blame it, the three don't have to be like this."

Mo Li smiled and comforted everyone, "Really, this is still the responsibility of my staff office." ”

"It is unknown whether Meng Lao Thief expected us to attack Dongyang first, but his insistence on Dongyang is indeed beyond our earlier speculation."

Mo Li continued, "The two generals just asked why they were here, but they didn't hide it, and they led the army to come to their aid under the order of the marshal. ”

"This"

When Guo Wei, Li Shaocheng, and Xia Luqi heard this, they were both shocked and happy.

Mo Li shook the folding fan and smiled: "Since we want to break Dongyang first, we naturally have to concentrate our forces, except for Li Congkeshi Jingjiao's subordinates to make the capital, the other troops and horses have absolutely no reason to be idle. Earlier, he did not invest in Dongyang, in order to avoid premature exposure of intentions, which led Meng Zhixiang to transfer troops and generals, forming a situation of fierce battle in Dongyang, and now he rushed to aid Dongyang, so as to make a final decision at a critical time and not give Chengdu a chance to react. ”

"Except for the rampage army, which is now under the city of Chengdu, the other forbidden troops are all coming with them, and they are all twenty miles away."

Mo Liren, "I only have one day to wait, the lion fights the rabbit, and we must take Dongyang City tomorrow!" ”

"There are many dreams at night, Yizhou is not only Dongyang Chengdu, but also several counties and towns in the west, if the time drags on for a long time, when Meng Zhixiang eases up, with his foundation in Xichuan, there may be some turning around."

Regarding Li Congjing's arrangement, Xia Luqi and the three of them were not admired, but if they wanted to say what kind of waves Meng Zhixiang could toss, the three of them were a little unconvinced.

Mo Lisui said: "The handsome man has words, and those who walk a hundred miles are half ninety, and you must not despise your opponent at any time, especially in the face of a cunning person like Meng Lao. If it weren't for the sake of foolproof, to avoid Meng Zhixiang's tricks and not to give Meng Zhixiang a chance to react, the army could have sent a rampant army from the beginning, and the two armies of the protector and the righteous Chen soldiers were under the city of Chengdu, and the main force took Dongyang directly. ”

At this point, Mo Li sighed lightly, "There are thieves in Dongyang City, and the Chengdu thief army has repeatedly defeated the two armies to protect the country and protect the righteousness, don't hide it from you, there are also Xichuan soldiers hidden in the new capital, they pretend to be ordinary people and mix in the city, trying to make trouble with the thief army who pretended to surrender before, if it weren't for the big commander sitting in the new capital, and the army to rely on, I don't know how much chaos happened at this time." ”

"Everyone, please think about it, if the main force of our army arrives in Dongyang, the rampage army arrives in Chengdu, there are no heavy troops in Xindu, and there is no commander to preside over the overall situation, once such a riot occurs behind the back, what kind of blow will it be to the front line? It is also a pity that the Military Intelligence Department cut off the contact between these thieves and Chengdu, so that they could not grasp the opportunity well, and showed their feet in a panic, so that the army's eyeliner would notice it in advance, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

"How many methods Meng Lao thief has, and how many hidden tricks there are, it is really impossible to find out, if the battle of Dongyang does not use the tactics of adding oil, forcing out its true combat power layer by layer, and giving a thunderous blow in the place where the thief army is exhausted, it is really difficult to say when he will be able to take the city."

"The key to this battle is to take the city within three days after the Jingnan army arrives in Dongyang. And to protect the country and protect the righteous two armies to confuse Chengdu for two days, with the rampage army to drag Chengdu for one day, to gain three days for you and me in the battle of Dongyang - in these three days, because Meng Lao thief does not know our intentions, so it is not good to act rashly, this is the key to capturing Dongyang. ”

"And once the old thief Meng reacts, Dongyang has become the bag of our army, and at that time, he will rely on the momentum of Dongyang in Chengdu, sitting on other counties and towns in Yizhou and other states and counties, and there are thousands of hidden means, and there is no way to use them."

Speaking of this, Mo Li smiled, "Break the enemy quickly, this is the handsome's trick." Meng Zhixiang probably never dreamed that Dongyang would be captured by us so soon. ”

After listening to Mo Li's complete narration, Xia Luqi, Li Shaocheng, and Guo Wei looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say, they didn't know that Meng Zhixiang was "once and now"

has the imperial industry, so he can't fully understand the terrible things about Meng Zhixiang, and it is reasonable to be a little surprised at this time.

But Li Congjing's clever arrangement, they can still understand.

Li Shaocheng and Guo Wei are better, after all, he has followed Li Congjing for a long time, and he knows a lot about Li Congjing's strategy, but Xia Ruqi is different, from his almost stiff facial expression, it can be seen that he must be in turmoil in his heart at this time.

After gossiping, Mo Li immediately divided the forbidden army into the position where it should be according to the pre-arrangement, and Li Shaocheng and Guo Wei also returned to their original positions, just waiting for Dongyang to give Dongyang an unexpected fatal blow tomorrow.
