Chapter 359: Victory
Two days later.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Languan City are still in the midst of the big celebrations, all the soldiers drink and eat meat, everyone is crazy, not only Languan City, even the West knows about it, and the streets and alleys are full of laughter, which shows that the day of the imperial court is not far away.
Wang Xu had already ordered as early as the day before yesterday to reward the three armies, and King Wen's immortal brew and wine and meat were enough.
Being able to defeat the imperial army of Ao Yuntian this time is really the first major event in the Western Capital, and it is worth celebrating.
After this battle, the general trend of the imperial court has passed, and the day of defeat is not far off.
"Report, General Fu and General Sun are back." A soldier came running with a smile on his face.
Hearing this, Wang Xu got up and said, "Okay, raise the account, and the generals will discuss in the lobby." ”
Fukangan and Sun Yu returned to Languan City with the cavalry with bloodstained faces, and after changing into a set of clean clothes, the two were ordered to come to the lobby to resume their lives.
Wang Xu laughed and came to the chamber, at this moment all the generals had arrived, and everyone was still immersed in excitement.
"This battle can be won, all thanks to the iron cavalry of General Fu and General Sun, the two of them have made great contributions, I will order the Military Aircraft Department to record great merits for the two three times, and then reward them when they take the imperial capital!" Wang Xu said with a smile.
Hearing Wang Xu's words, Fukangan and Sun Yu were extremely excited, and the fatigue of the two consecutive battles in the past two days was swept away.
The two of them said loudly: "Thank you, lord." ”
There were envious glances around, especially for Fukangan, he was just a person who had just been cast into the account of the Western Capital, but at this moment, he had recorded three great achievements one after another, which could be described as the first heavy reward in the history of the Western Capital.
As for Sun Yu, everyone is used to it, Sun Yu's military exploits are great, and it is normal for him to make meritorious contributions.
Seeing that Qiancang and the others had ugly faces, Wang Xu hurriedly smiled and said: "In addition, there are also Qiancang and Mr. Calligraphy and Painting, without your method of breaking the formation, it would be difficult to have today's big victory." Your quarrel is no less than that of General Fu and General Sun. ”
The two rejoiced. Wang Xu can say this, and he has a conscience.
"There are other generals too, this battle. It's everyone's work, and everyone is rewarded. Wang Xu sat down and laughed.
......
After a while, Sun Yu and Fukangan began to report on the gains made in the past two days.
The two chased and killed for a full day, and then for another day. The assault took two days.
Most of the soldiers under the command of Ao Yuntian were annihilated, but there were still those who escaped, and after counting, this battle killed 80,000 enemy soldiers, 30,000 chariots, attacked 110,000, and captured 100,000 people!
Of course, this is only a preliminary calculation, and the big is not the actual data, and maybe more than that. Most of the rest have fled.
As for Ao Yuntian, Sun Yu and Fu Kangan both shouted that it was a pity, and when they chased and killed Suoyang City, which was two hundred miles away, Ao Yuntian had already entered the city, and the two could only sigh under the city and could not rush in.
In other words, Aoyuntian escaped.
After the two reported, Han Shushu spoke: "Lord, it's time to consider moving eastward at this moment." ”
Wang Xu nodded, these two days. He asked Ye Xiong to investigate the enemy garrison in Minglan County, Jingliao County, and other places, and now he has a general understanding that as long as the army comes out, all the cities west of the imperial capital can be recovered. Including the city where Aoyuntian is at the moment.
"Minglan County and Jingliao County, each garrison is 20,000, and the city east of Jingliao County, each garrison ranges from 3,000 to 10,000. As long as Ao Yuntian is completely defeated, these garrisons will have nothing to fear, and they can only surrender to us! ”
In the hall, most people agreed with this strategy of marching, but Sun Yu said: "Lord, although Ao Yuntian has been defeated, those defeated troops will gather within two days and move closer to Ao Yuntian, if I guess correctly, at this moment, more than 100,000 defeated troops have been gathered in Suoyang City, and it is not so easy for us to break through in a period of time." ”
"Moreover, once the war is stalemate, the court officers and soldiers of Jingliao County and Minglan County come out to make trouble and attack the rear of our army, we have some trouble, it is better to fight steadily, step by step, and then march after taking the counties of Minglan."
Sun Yu is worthy of being a veteran of the battlefield, and the head of the gap is the Tao, and even Wang Xu nodded appreciatively.
But Wang Xu thought about it, but shook his head: "If when we attack the counties, the imperial capital will increase the troops of Ao Yuntian, it will be extremely troublesome, and at that time, we will lose the fighter to destroy Ao Yuntian." ”
Wang Xu set his eyes on Han Shushu, meaning to seek advice from him, in this hall, Han Shushu's wisdom is the highest, his strategy is generally the final decision, even Wang Xu will listen.
Han Shushu understood, he synthesized what Wang Xu and Sun Yu said just now, and said: "What General Sun said is not unreasonable, if we boldly attack Suoyang City, the army will definitely pass through Jingliao County if the food and grass are not given, and when the time comes, it will definitely be attacked." ”
"Therefore, the meaning of humility means that 10,000 soldiers will set up a long snake formation outside Minglan County, besiege it first and not attack, so as to prevent the enemy army in Minglan County from making any small moves."
"In addition, mobilize 50,000 elites and immediately attack Jingliao County, where the grain and grass of the imperial court's 500,000 army are piled up, which is hundreds of thousands, and must be controlled in our hands!"
Han Shushu arched his hand: "The lord should lead all the soldiers to march east immediately, defeat Ao Yuntian, and defeat the remnants of the enemy in one fell swoop!" ”
"If the next battle can be won, the imperial court will be completely exhausted and will not dare to fight us again. And we, we can recover the counties of the imperial capital, and within half a year, in the territory of the imperial capital, look down on the enemy's nest. ”
Han Shushu thought about everything very thoughtfully, Wang Xu smiled and said: "Okay, just follow what Mr. Shushu said, and implement it quickly." ”
"Let's go and prepare."
After everyone left, Wang Xu sat down with a smile, and at this moment he finally understood what Cao Cao said: 'Talent is more important than anything else!' 'This battle can defeat Ao Yuntian, in fact, the real hero is Han Shushu, if there is no such high-level resourcefulness, it is difficult to predict who will win and who will lose.
A high-level strategist is worth hundreds of thousands of troops!
..............
Early the next morning, Wang Xu made arrangements for the specific marching strategy.
Previously, Wang Xuliu's actual strength in Languan was 370,000.
A few days ago, in a battle with Ao Yuntian, Qiancang lost more than 10,000 soldiers, Sun Yu lost about 40,000, and Fukangan, lost more than 10,000, in general, Wang Xu's army lost 60,000 troops, and there were 310,000 left.
Liao Yun's 30,000 soldiers were left to garrison Languan, responsible for guarding prisoners and food, 20,000 soldiers in Qiancang besieged Minglan County, and Zheng Feng led 50,000 elites to attack Jingliao County.
The soldiers under Zheng Feng and Zheng Li were all explained by Wang Xu, and they were specially trained to attack the city, and they were the best at attacking the city, and it was the most suitable to perform this task.
When the sun first rose, Wang Xu marched east with an army of 210,000 and rushed straight to Suoyang, accompanied by all the generals except Liao Yunhe and Zheng Feng and Qiancang, who attacked Jingliao County and Minglan County. (To be continued.) )
