Chapter 107: Zhang Shicheng's speculation
Zhang Shicheng said with a firm face: "Retreat!" Deng Yu knows every move of our army well, Xuyi has unlimited killing opportunities, our army is deep into the hinterland of Xuyi at this time, if we stay longer, I am afraid that the remaining more than 10,000 soldiers of our army will be swallowed up sooner or later. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info However, this retreat is not a complete withdrawal from Xuyi, but a temporary stay away from Xuyi City. ”
Yan Zaixing heard this, his brows furrowed, and he said with some doubts: "King Cheng, the enemy army has more than 10,000 people showing traces at present, even if the enemy army also has ambushes in other places in Xuyi, its number will not be too much, if we gather our forces and stay away from Xuyi City, then the towns and Lingbao that our army attacked before will be recaptured by the enemy!" ”
"Guoping, Deng Yu's ideas have always been wild, and his mastermind Li Ke is also very good at plotting, so we can't use common sense to calculate how to arrange the enemy's troops. If my guess is correct, Deng Yue is likely to concentrate all his men and horses in Xuyi, lay out a heavy killing game, first destroy our army's forces, and then take advantage of the victory to defeat the Haozhou rebels, our army is far away from the hinterland of Xuyi, in case of accidents, you can also withdraw from Xuyi as soon as possible! ”
Zhang Shicheng's eyes shone brightly, and the wisdom of a generation of heroes was revealed!
Yan Zaixing on the side was shocked when he heard it, if it was really as Zhang Shicheng guessed, the hinterland of Xuyi would be a bottomless abyss, and no matter how many soldiers and horses there were, they would be slowly eaten away by the unstoppable ambush.
Yan Zaixing swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva unconsciously, and then asked, "Where is King Cheng going to retreat?" ”
"The Jiashan area at the junction of Haozhou and Dingyuan!"
"Around Jiashan? Could it be that King Cheng plans to join forces with the Haozhou Rebels? ”
"Yes and no! Our army first rushed to the area of Jiashan, and then sent scouts to Dingyuan City to inquire about the news, if Dingyuan City has been captured by the Haozhou Rebels, our army can lure the Haozhou Rebels to come to Xuyi to join forces. On the contrary, if the Haozhou Rebels have not captured Dingyuan City, our army can go to Dingyuan to help the Haozhou Rebels capture Dingyuan City, and then join forces to attack Xuyi and Sizhou! ”
Zhang Shicheng didn't know what calculations he had in his heart, and Yan Zaixing was confused when he heard it, Yan Zaixing frowned deeply, and continued to ask: "King Cheng, the four commanders of the Haozhou Righteous Army are all mercenary and reckless, why should our army send troops to help them attack Dingyuan?" If our army helps them to attack Dingyuan, and the Haozhou rebels see that our army has suffered heavy casualties, and when they attack Xuyi and Sizhou, they have bad intentions and counterattack our army, what should we do? ”
"Don't worry, this king has sent someone back to Gaoyou to ask for help, it won't take long for our reinforcements to arrive, and immediately, the Haozhou rebels will never dare to have different intentions! If the Haozhou rebels really dare to harbor ghosts, this king will teach them to die without a place to be buried! ”
Zhang Shicheng's face suddenly became extremely cold, as if he was a little expecting that the Haozhou Rebels would have bad intentions. Of course, if Zhang Shicheng wants to deal with the Haozhou Rebels, he will wait until Deng Yu is exterminated before he will carry it out!
"It turns out that King Cheng has already made up his mind that the last general is too worried, and the last general will notify the soldiers of all departments to prepare to withdraw to the Jiashan area."
Zhang Shicheng bowed slightly, and after Yan Zaixing said goodbye, he immediately ordered all Zhou troops to assemble in Heqiao Town, and then march around Wangjiashan.
Five days later, more than 13,000 Zhou troops finally arrived in the area of Jiashan, and after Zhang Shicheng set up a camp by the mountains and rivers, he sent a team of light cavalry to Dingyuan City to inquire about information.
Two days later, the scout rushed back to inform Zhang Shicheng that the banner of the Broken Army was still planted in the far city, and the number of soldiers and horses of the Broken Army patrolling the city was quite large.
Zhang Shicheng listened, and immediately fell into deep thought, if according to the news reported by the scout, then Deng Yu did not concentrate all the soldiers and horses in Xuyi.
Zhang Shicheng's mind was spinning, and he quickly analyzed the battle situation in front of him one by one, and after that, Zhang Shicheng ordered all the soldiers to prepare to go to the border area between Dingyuan and Haozhou to meet the Haozhou rebels.
Zhang Shicheng quickly reorganized the army, and the next day he led the army to the junction of Dingyuan and Haozhou.
There are many mountains and valleys in the junction area of Dingyuan and Haozhou, the terrain is quite steep, Zhang Shicheng led the army to move forward cautiously, and successively passed three mountains and two valley roads.
Two days later, more than 13,000 Zhou troops were resting on the mountainside of a mountain range, hurrying for days, whether it was Zhang Shicheng or ordinary soldiers, they were all exhausted.
Just when the Zhou army was faintly sleepy, there was a sky-shaking drum sound at the top of the mountain, and the sudden change occurred, which frightened the Zhou army into discoloration.
"Kill, !!"
After the sound of drums, the overwhelming shouts of killing soon came, and a group of broken troops surged down from the top of the mountain like a flood tide, and Hu Dahai led a thousand cavalry to rush to the front.
"Why? Why is there still an ambush here? Could it be that Deng Yue had expected that this king would rush to join the Haozhou rebels? ”
Zhang Shicheng saw that the top of the mountain was densely packed with soldiers of the Broken Army, and his head seemed to explode to the ground, and he really couldn't understand why all his thoughts seemed to be explored by Deng Yu.
Zhang Shicheng's whole person was like a fool, Yan Zaixing called Zhang Shicheng a few times, but Zhang Shicheng still stood in place stunned, motionless.
At this time, the soldiers around Zhang Shicheng had already been in chaos, and they fled frantically to the foot of the mountain, Yan Zaixing couldn't care about more, grabbed Zhang Shicheng with one hand, put Zhang Shicheng on the mount, and then slashed on the horse's buttocks.
Zhang Shicheng's mount hissed in pain and galloped away towards the bottom of the mountain.
Yan Zaixing urgently ordered Zhao Shixiong and Li Bosheng to protect Zhang Shicheng, while he led a group of soldiers to block the broken army rushing down from the mountain.
Hu Dahai rode his horse and rushed, the horse rushed downhill, and the momentum increased sharply, Hu Dahai saw Yan Zaixing, his face was full of cold and killing intent, and with a lift of the crescent halberd, a team of cavalry immediately accelerated forward, and rushed towards Yan Zaixing in formation.
One by one, the cavalry of the Broken Army raised their spears in unison, and their mounts galloped wildly on all fours, rushing towards Yan Zaixing with extremely fast momentum, like a fierce flying shadow.
Yan Zaixing was taken aback when he saw a group of cavalry of the Broken Army condescendingly rushing towards him, and hurriedly shook his spirit and swung his sword to block it.
Dozens of spears stabbed at Yan Zaixing like spitting poisonous snakes, Yan Zaixing danced wildly with his eight-foot long knife, and dozens of huge forces bombarded his eight-foot long knife almost at the same time.
"Bell! Bang Bang! Bang Bang! ”
The first round of attack was impressively killed, Yan Zaixing's arms were numb for a while, and he hadn't recovered his breath yet, at this time, another group of cavalry of the Broken Army rushed towards Yan Zaixing in formation under Hu Dahai's order!
"Sword and shield hand, stand in !!"
Yan Zaixing's face was extremely dark, and the cavalry of the Broken Army swooped down condescendingly, and the power of the charge was nearly twice as fierce as when it was on the flat ground.
After all, at present, Zhang Shicheng is not out of danger, and he still needs to retain his physical strength to deal with the unknown crisis in the future.
