Chapter 33 Strategizing
Meng Wu lay on the bed in a strange posture. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Yingping was afraid that the bed board would be too hard, so he put a pillow on his chest, so that he could breathe better. Even so, only the tongue can move all over the body. It's a pity that there is nowhere to squander the blood, and the gamble of destroying the country cannot be completed, that hate!
But it's good to be quiet, and some questions can be taken advantage of this opportunity to figure out. He doesn't speak, and he doesn't talk to win. After staying for a long time, Meng Wucai muttered: "Young Master Ping, the old man is also to blame this time, he shouldn't have recklessly attacked the city, for the sake of the gambling contract with Nei Shiteng, I am Li Lingzhi faint, this time the loss of soldiers is really a Great Qin sinner!" ”
"Don't worry, old generals, victory and defeat are commonplace. It's better to take care of your injuries. In my opinion, it is better to send you to Xianyang for recuperation. After all, the battlefield is dangerous, if there is any more accidents, I am afraid that the army's heart will be shaken! ”
Meng Wu was a little sad when he heard it, he was a high-minded and arrogant person, he never accepted old age, nor did he admit defeat, this time the boat capsized in the gutter, it was really the most serious injury he had suffered since he joined the army. Ying Ping proposed to let him go back to Xianyang to recuperate, although he was reluctant, but it was not easy to refute. After all, he was the one who was wounded. The Qin army has always admired strength, a person who is injured and bedridden is similar to a waste person, even if he is a commander, he will not be treated much.
As the saying goes, "there is no filial son before the bed of a long illness", if he really stayed in bed in this camp for three months, he really couldn't think of anything better than disgusting. Although Ying Ping is young, he is far above him in terms of ability and courage. Old guys, it's time to make room for young people to take the stage. When Meng Wu thought about it like this, his heart was also much lighter.
"It's okay, my old bones, it's time to rest, but there is one thing, after Ping Gongzi takes over my seal as the coach, he must capture Yiyang as soon as possible. Win this bet for me! ”
Meng Wu still hasn't forgotten about the gambling contract, alas, you don't understand people who are good gamblers, Ying Ping sighed and solemnly agreed. Then he arranged a hundred elites, found a comfortable and stable carriage, and sent Meng Wu back to Xianyang to recuperate.
After Meng Wu left, Ying Ping also shifted his focus to the battlefield. went out of the camp for three days in a row to challenge and shouted and scolded Yiyang City, but the Yiyang defenders just pretended to be deaf and dumb and couldn't shrink out. Attack, the Korean army's strong bows and crossbows are even more terrifying than the original, and they can't get close to the root of the city wall at all.
If you don't know the price of firewood and rice, only when you become the main general can you know that leading troops to fight is not as simple as you imagined. Not to mention anything else, the daily food and drink of the 50,000 army, daily training, docking with the imperial court, and spying on the military situation of the Korean army are all a lot of things. If you take care of these things well, and you can lead troops to kill the enemy, you are definitely a talent. No wonder it is said that "Han Xin points soldiers, the more the merrier." "Liu Bang is so eloquent, in Han Xin's eyes, he can only bring 100,000 soldiers, but no matter how many soldiers Han Xin brings, there is no pressure, sometimes, the genius's crushing sense of you makes you unconvinced.
Ying Ping had never led troops before, but he got started very quickly, and found the doorway in less than two days, and all kinds of things were handled in an orderly manner. I can also free up time to think about the situation of the battle.
On the fifth day after Meng Wu left, Ying Ping paced back and forth in the Chinese army's tent, and a military map more than one person high hung on the wall, apparently thinking about how to capture Yiyang.
At this time, Bai Liang walked in from outside. said with a big grin: "I said brother, you are really unhappy to be a general, and you can't play." Frowning all day long, calculating this and that like an old man, are you tired? ”
Yingping's rhythm of thinking was interrupted by him, and he said angrily: "It's all like you who live heartlessly, who cares about this mess." Play all day long, what is the growth! ”
"It's up to people to make things happen, it's up to heaven to make things happen, I'm a person who is idle and wild, and only you can take care of me. I think that when I traveled all over the world, in order to watch the beautiful scenery of the Yellow River, I went down the river from the Mengjin ferry port to the sea of Qi country. On the river road, I met the Korean grain boats, and the draft was old, and they passed one after another. You see, I not only enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the Yellow River, but also learned about the transportation function of the Yellow River. You say, don't I get a lot of knowledge when I go out to play? Bai Liang's rebuttal was reasonable. Although he is nominally a subordinate of Yingping, in private relations, the two are closer than brothers, so they are not so polite when they speak.
"Wait, what are you talking about, the grain ships of South Korea are on the Yellow River!" For a moment, Ying Ping felt as if he was about to catch something.
"That's right. Their grain boat swam up and was unloaded when they arrived in Xin'an County! Bai Liang remembered it very clearly.
Win flat excited straight stomping on grain, Korean grain. Yiyang, Xin'an, these two places are not far from each other, Xin'an is close to the Yellow River, fifty miles north of Yiyang. In a moment, a complete battle plan had been formed in his mind.
"Bai Liang listens to orders!" Ying Ping suddenly ordered.
"In!"
"I ordered you to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to a long-distance attack and burn the grain and grass of the Korean army! If the Korean army comes to the rescue, you can't fight, quickly retreat, and ambush in Tushan in the north of Yiyang. In less than half a day, the Korean army will return, and at that time, listen to my orders again and annihilate them in one fell swoop! "Ying Ping's words are categorical and confident.
"Order!" Although Bai Liang usually giggles, he is not sloppy at all when he really gets things done.
"Huo Muqing listens to orders!"
"In!" Huo Muqing walked in from outside the big tent.
"I order you to lead 20,000 elite soldiers, ambush on the earth mountain in the north of Yiyang City, tomorrow the Korean army will come back from Xin'an, when passing through this mountain, you and Bai Liang will wait for work and give a head-on blow!"
"Order!" Huo Muqing responded.
Compared with Bai Liang, Huo Muqing is more calm, and Bai Liang is more flexible. So Yingping asked Bai Liang to do a long-distance run and cut off people's food and grass. Let Huo Muqing come to the ambush and snipe the strong enemy.
As for winning and drawing himself, he has to personally lead the remaining main forces and take Yiyang directly.
Han Biao has been in a good mood these days, and he retreated from the Qin army in a battle, which among the nations, only Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao State, can do it. The Korean monarch rewarded him greatly, the soldiers of the army bowed to him, and the common people also called him "the dry city of the country". Even the other five countries, which could not be beaten by the eight poles, sent envoys to congratulate the king of Han, praising the righteous actions of the ROK, condemning the aggressive acts of the Qin army, and believing that with the efforts of the Korean people, they would definitely overcome this difficulty, and the other countries were willing to help within their capabilities.
In the past few days, Han Biao has only strengthened the city wall and patrolled the city. Even if the Qin army has the ability, it can't attack the city, and it is also powerful and has nowhere to go. This is Han Biao's wishful thinking. Facts have proved that such an abacus is very good, and the Qin army is helpless, it is estimated that after a period of time, the Qin army will run out of food and grass, and it will retreat on its own.
"Report! The Qin army of 5,000 people attacked my Xin'an grain and grass camp, and the defenders couldn't support it, so they came to tell me urgently! ”
"What!" Han Biao stumbled in surprise and almost fell to the ground. Qin Jun's move directly stabbed him in the soft underbelly.
