Chapter 308: The Soldiers Don't Stop
After the Shunzhou Army, which occupied the six counties, was combined, there were 3,000 Tigers, and a total of 15,000 from the first to the fifth capital. Among them, the tiger capital, the first and second are cavalry, and the third to fifth are all infantry troops. The more than 1,000 female soldiers gathered by Qian Bing have also become logistics soldiers directly under the command of the embassy, responsible for non-military work such as the care of those orphans and the comfort of the families of martyrs.
Defeat the Black Snake Army first, then collect the Qingyang Army, and the Shunzhou Army unified the northern part of Shunzhou Prefecture. The news that the Shunzhou Army is the Huolin Army is also well known. But the Shunzhou Army still calls itself the Shunzhou Army, although the Shunzhou Army is under the same way as the Huolin Army.
Not to mention the surrounding reaction to the Shunzhou army for the time being, that is, the Shunzhou army's opposing party, which occupies three counties and one city in the south of Shunzhou Prefecture, is now completely panicked. After the northern part of Shunzhou Mansion fell into the hands of the Shunzhou Army, the Shunzhou Mansion and the Weizhou Mansion Army in the south still became the turtle in the urn, and there was Yan State on all sides, and there was no way to retreat.
Shunzhou Prefecture is connected to Weizhou Prefecture in the south, but Yongtai County and Deyuan County in the north of Weizhou Prefecture have been occupied by the Huolin Army in early April, completely separating the two Yan armies, making it impossible to connect with each other. What made the Shunzhou Mansion Jing Tatar Army panic was not only the strength of the Shunzhou Army, but more importantly, after the Shunzhou Army dominated the north, the towns and villages under the jurisdiction of the southern counties had already shown signs of breaking away from them. What's more, every day, the cavalry patrolling between towns and villages were attacked and assassinated. All the generals of the Yan Army felt that at this moment, they were like sitting on a fire.
Li Yu is now the governor of Shunzhou Prefecture, in charge of the government affairs of Shunzhou Prefecture, and is the head of the Shunzhou military administration. With the support of the Huolin Army, Shunzhou Mansion soon became regular.
In the process of reorganizing the army, Li Muzhi sent a messenger again, first congratulating Zhao Xun on his action, and urging Zhao Xun to speed up his action. Li Muzhi's subordinate Long Xiang army and private army were afraid that they would not be able to stay in Jizhou Mansion for too long, and asked Zhao Xun to quickly take Weizhou Mansion for later action.
Regarding Li Muzhi's request, Zhao Xun did not dare to let it go, because the plan related to Li Muzhi was related to a large area of territory. It's just that it's not easy to implement. asked Li Muzhi's envoy, but the other party did not give Li Muzhi the reason for his anxiety, but only urged him repeatedly.
In addition to the envoy sent by Li Muzhi to contact him, Cao Gang, the general of Zhenbei who was stationed in Youzhou and handed over to the state, also sent an envoy to congratulate the Huolin army, and even vaguely meant to form an alliance. In this regard, Zhao Xun did not give a clear answer, but the meaning of the other party also made Zhao Xun careless. Form an alliance? What does this Cao Gang mean when he falls to the ground? This made Zhao Xun careless.
Because Gaoling County is located in the easternmost part of Shunzhou Prefecture, Zhao Xun moved the highest military system of the Shunzhou Army and the command department to the center under the Shunzhou Army, which is also the nearest county seat of the Yan Army, Changwu County. The northern part of Shunzhou Mansion has been flattened, so the next target of action is naturally the Swift Army like a frightened bird.
At this moment, among the commanding envoys, the five lieutenants and Lu Ziliang all gathered together to discuss the situation of the southern attack on the Yan army.
"My lord, although there are more than 40,000 people in the south of the army, they only know how to plunder, and they are not good at management, they have made the local people angry, and we attack the south, which can be described as conforming to the will of heaven and the will of the people." Lu Ziliang said.
Pointing to the map, Lu Ziliang continued: "The Yan army occupies three counties and one city, and it is distributed in an irregular circle. To the south of the Turbulent Army was an army of 10,000 men of our Huolin Army, blocking their way south. We can strike them from both sides and wipe them out completely. In order to cut off the ties between the Tatar armies, we should march in parallel in several ways, and the north and south should go out together, and divide and destroy them. As he spoke, Lu Ziliang slammed it into Shunzhou City.
"Our Shunzhou army has six soldiers, and at the same time there are four thousand cavalry. However, the Turquoise cavalry was obviously not suitable for the remnants of this battle, and they could not be allowed to garrison the frontier. Fortunately, there are county soldiers in all counties, and there are inspections in various places. Therefore, we need to stay behind the troops of the two capitals and stick to the northern frontier, just in case. However, it doesn't hurt that there is the North Wind Fort and the Fire Lin Army on the side in the northeast. There is Zhenbei Fort in the northwest, and the Khitans in the north are also willing to coexist peacefully with me. So just hold on, and there won't be any big mess. But if we take Shunzhou Mansion, then Weizhou Mansion will be in the place where we attack on three sides, and when the time comes, whether Youzhou reacts or not, we don't care anymore. ”
"By the way, my lord, we still need to pay attention to the situation in Haizhou Mansion, because the Yan Ya army is trapped, the Yan Ya troops have begun to win over the officials of Haizhou Mansion, and want to open the passage from there and send troops to rescue." Lu Ziliang finally reminded.
Zhao Xun sneered: "You can rest assured that the former government army is stationed in Yanzhou Mansion to prevent the Beihai Provinces, and the Houfu army is stationed in the east of Yingzhou Prefecture." It's okay if the Yan army doesn't appear from Haizhou Mansion, but if they do, they won't be able to escape. ”
Bao Muyang, who is now the captain of Yidu, said with a smile: "Then let's fight, anyway, the current Yan Ya army no longer has the arrogant appearance of the past, and under the blow of the Huolin Army, the morale of the current Jin Ya army is generally not good." If it was before, I wouldn't dare to fight against the Spirited Army, but now, what is there to fear! ”
Bao Muyang said, not only himself, but also the other captains chuckled. Yes, last year, when the Yan army came violently, and people dared to say so, less to more, but also to take the initiative to attack?
Lu Ziliang continued with a smile: "Having said that, the cavalry combat ability of the Yan Ya Army is still very strong, and we must admit this. I hope that you will not have the idea of underestimating the enemy, and although the current situation is very favorable to us, we must not be careless. In the words of adults, we want to exchange the least price for the greatest benefit. ”
Zhao Xun answered: "The military advisor is right, the army has accumulated rich combat experience in the southern and northern wars, and has also exercised very good riding skills. Whether it is marching or retreating, if in the field, we are very decisive, these are not as good as them, I hope everyone pays attention to this. ”
Luo Yi, the commander of the Tiger Capital, said in an impassioned voice: "The brothers of the Tiger Capital strongly request that the main task of this battle be handed over to us, and the Tiger Capital will definitely live up to its mission!" ”
In addition to the second and third capitals stationed in the north, the other first, fourth, and fifth capitals also pleaded for their lives in unison.
Lu Ziliang pointed to the map and continued: "The Yan army occupies Zhenning County, Wuyi County, Mo County and Shunzhou City, of which Mo County and Wuyi County are closer to the Huolin Army Zuofu Army in the south, so they are in charge of General Li in the south. The task of our Shunzhou Army is Zhenning County and Shunzhou City. However, Shunzhou City is the capital city of Shunzhou Prefecture, the city is high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are more than 15,000 garrisons in the city. Zhenning County is located on the west side of Shunzhou City, which is the gateway to the west side of Shunzhou City, and the Yan army also stationed 5,000 troops again. Fifty miles north of Shunzhou City is the Pingshan Fortress set up by the Jin Ya army to defend against us, and there are also 3,000 Jing Tatar troops stationed there. However, the terrain here is high, and it is also easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”
"Our actions this time must be fast and steady, so that the Evil Army will not be able to react. We dispatched at the same time as the Huolin Army Zuofu Army, attacked from the north and south, and took the counties as quickly as possible, making Shunzhou City a lonely city. ”
Lu Ziliang finally said: "Our basic policy. The fastest to take the Pingshan fortress, and the west to capture Zhenning County. As for the city of Shunzhou, a period of war will definitely mobilize the army in the city, and we will attract the attention of the enemy head-on, and then delay the time, and when the Pingshan fortress and Zhenning County have been lowered, we will make a detour on both sides, tear apart the soldiers they have sent, and smash them all to pieces. ”
Luo Yi said unyieldingly: "My lord, our tigers are responsible for attacking the Pingshan Fortress, and we will definitely not delay time, after taking the Pingshan Fortress, we will immediately attack the Yan army in Shunzhou City." ”
Newly surrendered, Bao Muyang, who had not made a meritorious service, rushed to say at the same time: "Our first soldier is also ready to attack Pingshan Fortress and Zhenning County, and as soon as the Lord gives an order, we can immediately put into the battlefield." "The reason why they chose to attack Pingshan Fortress is because they will be the first to attack Shunzhou City next.
Since Zhao Xun joined, the Shunzhou Army has always been fighting, and the tigers are the absolute main force, whether it is to resist the attack of the left army of the Black Snake Army or to exterminate the Black Snake Army. Although the rest of them were in the Black Snake Army after the whole training, they were also very good, but they were always pressed by the tigers trained by Zhao Xun. Now that the Black Snake Army has been destroyed, after the rotation of the various armies, the combat power is balanced. It was not easy for each of them to appear on the battlefield alone this time, and they could not let go of the opportunity to make a name for themselves. As for Bao Muyang, he also hopes to use his brilliant achievements to build his reputation, and he wants to use his achievements to make his name as Bao Muyang. As for the four capitals and the five capitals, they are all foot soldiers, and they can't be forwards in this kind of rapid battle.
Lu Ziliang looked at Zhao Xun, he was a military advisor and a staff officer, otherwise the final decision on operational planning and plans was still in Zhao Xun's hands.
Zhao Xun looked at Luo Yi and Bao Muyang and said solemnly: "In this way, the Tiger Capital and the Four Capitals will attack Zhenning County, there is no need to attack strongly, with the support of the people, it is not a problem to take this city, and then the Fourth Capital will be stationed in Zhenning County to pacify the place." The Tigers made a detour to the side to deal with the support team of Shunzhou City. The 1st and 5th capitals attacked the fortress of Hirayama, which was condescending, halfway to the south, and had to be pulled out. Captain Baodu, this matter will be handed over to you. The logistics team also had to prepare the necessary things, so it was decided. In order to defeat the Evil Army, in order to wait for this moment, everyone has done a lot of work. Now, the time has come to test you! Be prepared to get ready to get moving. ”
"Obey! We will live up to our mission! All the officers roared excitedly, and Zhao Xun nodded in satisfaction.
Outside the north city of Changwu County, a team of carriages slowly drove towards the east gate, and more than 100 guards on both sides guarded the convoy.
"Sister, this is Changwu County, far worse than Yanzhou City!"
"Xinyan, Yanzhou City is a capital city, and this is a county seat. Besides, it has only been two months since it was incorporated into the rule of the Shunzhou Army, and it is difficult to compare with Yanzhou City. Among the most luxurious carriages, Li Ruolan said with a smile, although the weather is getting hotter and hotter, Li Ruolan is obviously in a good mood.
Li Xinyan blinked a few times, looked at Xu Qinlian and Su Ran, who were looking at the account books, blinked a few times, and said, "Since it is Zhao Xun's troops, why don't you call it the Huolin Army, but the Shunzhou Army?" Now, the name of the Huolin Army is stronger than that of the Shunzhou Army. ”
Li Ruolan waved a small round fan and said with a smile: "These are all things that their big people should consider, what do you do with these hearts." ”
"Madame! Someone stopped the car, but they were with an adult's warrant! Outside the carriage, the voice of the internal guard was heard.
"Well, it's supposed to be here to pick us up."
"What! Someone was sent! It's so insincere! Li Xinyan muttered.
"Su Ziyan, the subordinate guard, has seen all the ladies!" Seeing several pretty women appear in the carriage, Su Ziyan's face stiffened, and he bowed to him.
"What...... I'm not your lord's wife......" Li Xinyan immediately retorted, and Su Ran also blushed and didn't say a word.
"Hurry up, you're tired!" Xu Qinlian said with a chuckle, and her soft words were like ice and snow in summer, refreshing people's hearts.
"Don't dare! It's a subordinate duty! ”
"Guards Battalion...... Hum...... When did the guard battalion have women...... I look at that, this Zhao Xun is stealing again......" Li Xinyan muttered on the side, although the voice was small, but at the moment everyone could hear it clearly. Suddenly, several people's faces turned red, and Li Ruolan wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh.
"New look! What to say? Xu Qinlian glanced at Su Ziyan and said with a faint scolding.
"That's it! I won't say it, let's stop it! Let's go, let's go to the house, we can't take it outside. ”
Everyone sailed towards the commander with a faint thought.
Knowing that his wife and Su Ran were coming, Zhao Xun ordered his subordinates to prepare the room, and hurriedly greeted them.
"Husband!" "Meet your lord!" "Zhao Xun! Humph......"
Several people greeted each other in different capacities.
"Okay, this is everyone's home now, although the conditions are not as good as Yanzhou City, but it is much cooler than Yanzhou City."
"You're not going to let us escape the heat, are you?" After Li Xinyan sat down, he shook his head and asked indifferently.
Zhao Xun smiled: "Of course not, it's much better for everyone to move around more than to be bored in one place." Second, it is also a good time for the White Feather firm to grow stronger. By the way, how is my mother? ”
Xu Qinlian said softly: "Mother is fine, but Mother is not used to running far, so she stays in Yanzhou City." ”
"That's it! Wait for me to take Youzhou City, and let my mother live in the best place in Youzhou. Zhao Xun said secretly.
For the White Feather Firm, in addition to making money and leading merchants, it can also collect information for the Fire Lin Army, which can be regarded as a subconscious spy organization.
