Chapter 19 Heavy Duty

For five consecutive days, the Mongolian army stationed in the city of Huangzhou launched a small-scale attack without interruption, and the Song army, which had no intention of taking the initiative to attack, was tossed and exhausted. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Even more of a headache is Lu Wende.

Lu Wende is not Ma Daha, he is very clear

As long as he can recover the city of Huangzhou, and then recover Qizhou and other places, Lu Wende's military exploits are very extraordinary.

People are not as good as heaven, and I can't imagine that the Mongolian army stationed in Huangzhou after the city was broken can still launch an active attack.

At this time, Lu Wende began to worry, he faintly felt that the Mongolian army stationed in Huangzhou, not only the gap between the Chu and Song armies and the Mongol army, after all, in the battle in Sichuan, Lu Wende was involved from beginning to end, Meng Ge's death, including Wang Dechen's death, with a great chance factor, from the overall strength of the army, the Song army has a big gap.

This time he led the army to the battle, Lu Wende's real idea was to force the Mongolian army to take the initiative to withdraw from Huangzhou, so that he could lead the army to successfully recover the city of Huangzhou, and the scene of the fierce battle between the Song army and the Mongolian army was to be avoided as much as possible, so it was very likely that many accidents would occur.

There will be no voluntary evacuation, and there is a high probability of launching a large-scale offensive.

What made Lu Wende feel even more terrifying was whether the evacuated Mongolian army would suddenly return to the horse gun at a critical moment, which was likely to lead to the 30,000 soldiers he led being completely annihilated.

Lu Wende's mood became agitated and he lost his former calmness.

Wu Shaogang's mood during this time was also a little anxious.

It should be said that after a period of analysis, Wu Shaogang thinks that he has a clear idea of Lu Wende.

On the surface, Lu Wende is inclined to take the initiative to attack, but in fact, Lu Wende and Zhang Sheng have the same idea in their bones, that is, they are conservative and unwilling to fight face-to-face with the Mongolian army.

It's just that Zhang Sheng's performance is more prominent, that is, he is stubbornly defending the city of Ezhou.

This can't be blamed on Lu Wende and Zhang Sheng, the entire Southern Song Dynasty court, from the emperor to many adults, almost all have conservative ideas, and they all hope to be able to be in a corner of peace, and the officials with a radical attitude are excluded.

Yue Fei and Han Shizhong are the best examples.

In the Southern Song Dynasty in history, more than 150 years ago, when was it not a compromise.

In such an atmosphere, as long as you are a slightly more normal person, you must be conservative.

However, this conservative posture can no longer be maintained for a long time, and the gradually growing Mongolian steppe will never give the Southern Song Dynasty court too many opportunities.

After only a little more than a month, Wu Shaogang felt this kind of conservative pressure, not only the many officers and sergeants he came into contact with, but even the ordinary people in Ezhou City looked forward to being able to be safe and stable under the compromise.

This is a terrifying force that affects the decision-making of the imperial court at all times.

Judging from the current situation, Wu Shaogang does not have the strength to change this conservative situation, but he must take action, at least in the process of his gradual gathering of strength, and the people under his command must not have too conservative thoughts.

There will be no pie in the sky, Wu Shaogang must take the initiative to fight for the opportunity.

While waiting outside the Chinese military tent, Wu Shaogang was a little apprehensive in his heart.

He had already made a detailed analysis, used his own wisdom, thought about all aspects, and even predicted the worst-case scenario, and finally came to the conclusion that the army must take the initiative to attack, at least must occupy the city of Huangzhou, so that it can be truly safe.

A personal guard walked out of the Chinese military tent and signaled Wu Shaogang to enter the Chinese military tent.

There are only two people in the Chinese military tent, Lu Wende and Li Siqi.

Lu Wende's face was very gloomy, and he couldn't see a trace of a smile, and Li Siqi was also sad.

"My subordinates have met the marshal and met Mr. Li."

"General Wu, is there anything wrong?"

Before Wu Shaogang could speak, there was another shout of killing outside, although it was not particularly clear.

Soon, a personal guard entered the Chinese military tent.

"Report to the commander, the Mongolian army has launched an attack."

"Got it."

Lu Wende waved his hand, and didn't even give any instructions, there are too many such attacks by the Mongolian army, from morning to night, there is almost no intermission, you go to attack, people have withdrawn, you wait in place, he comes to harass again, in short, it makes you uneasy, this kind of attack is really annoying.

Lu Wende did not dare to order the sergeant to launch a large-scale attack, and after several days of reconnaissance, he probed the information reported by the horse, and every time the Mongolian army attacked, it was a small force, at most about 500 people, if he ordered the army to launch a sudden attack, who knows if the Mongolian army had set a trap and waited for the army to get in.

After the guards withdrew from the Chinese military tent, Wu Shaogang's expression was very calm.

Wu Shaogang's calmness attracted Lu Wende's attention, and he quickly remembered the incident in Lujiang Tower.

Maybe the Wu Shaogang in front of him can make some analysis.

It was also because he was too busy and thought too much during this time, Lu Wende did not pay attention to and take into account Wu Shaogang.

"General Wu, do you have any ideas, just say it."

Of course Wu Shaogang has ideas, but he won't say it completely, because he can't get Lu Wende's acceptance if he says it, so it's better not to say it, you must know that in his identity and status, if some words are full, he can't take them back.

If you show that you are all-powerful, you will not know what kind of calculations you will encounter in the future.

"Marshal, my subordinates are here to ask for war."

Lu Wende was full of confidence, waiting for Wu Shaogang's analysis, and he didn't expect that people would come to ask for war.

These days, I don't know how many commanders came to ask for war with passion, but they were all reprimanded by Lu Wende.

With a look of disappointment on his face, Lu Wende spoke.

"The enemy situation is unknown, how can you go to war lightly, General Wu, don't do things with ambition."

"Dashuai, my subordinates have already thought about it carefully."

"Tell me about it."

"The subordinates feel that it has been ten days since the army set out from the army, especially after the army has set up camp, Tanma has investigated the situation in many places near Huangzhou, and has not found any other Mongolian troops, so it can be concluded that the main force of the Mongolian army has been completely withdrawn, and the Mongolian army stationed in Huangzhou should be the troops left behind by the Mongolian army."

"Ben Shuai already knows about this situation, so there is no need to say more."

Lu Wende looked at Wu Shaogang and spoke again in a serious tone.

"The main force of the Mongolian army withdrew, and the commander knew, but the Mongolian army was mainly cavalry, and its Tanma Red Army was very fast, if the army rashly launched an attack, the Mongolian army turned back and rushed to help, how to deal with it."

Wu Shaogang's expression was not nervous at all, and he spoke.

"Marshal, it is precisely because of this that his subordinates think that they should send sergeants to attack the city of Huangzhou, and only if the army occupies the city of Huangzhou and is stationed in the city, it will not care about the Mongolian army killing back the carbine."

"Don't you know this kind of truth, how many Mongolian troops are stationed in Huangzhou City, and what their combat effectiveness is, we don't know everything, under such circumstances, rashly launch an attack, and put 30,000 troops in what situation."

Lu Wende's tone gradually became bad, obviously a little angry, and Li Siqi, who was beside him, never spoke.

At this time, Wu Shaogang knew that he had to say the key things, if he didn't really impress Lu Wende's plan, then he wouldn't get any results today, and he would leave the impression of being young and aggressive.

"Marshal, my subordinates think that the Mongolian army may launch a large-scale attack in a short period of time, and the Mongolian army stationed in the city may be poured out, and the front will last for many days, and the Mongolian army will launch a small-scale attack, but it is just to disturb the heart of our army, so that my army can not have a good foothold and deployment, and now the purpose of the Mongolian army has basically been achieved. . . ."

This time, Lu Wende's expression began to become focused.

After all, Wu Shaogang made an accurate judgment on the most important matter of the withdrawal of the Mongolian army, which shows that his ability is by no means ordinary.

"General Wu, tell me in detail about your thoughts and plans."

"The subordinates believe that it is impossible for the Mongolian army to launch a small-scale attack for a long time, the purpose of the Mongolian army is to completely defeat our army, they are stationed in the city of Huangzhou, lack of backup, it is difficult to last, if the subordinates are replaced by the commander of the Mongolian army, they will definitely choose to fight quickly, and it is impossible to delay for a long time."

Lu Wende nodded frequently.

"The second question, on the issue of the courage of the Mongolian army stationed in Huangzhou City, once the Mongolian army does its best to launch an attack, the defense force of the Huangzhou city it is stationed in must be weak, and take this opportunity to take the Huangzhou City, then the attacking Mongolian army will lose the biggest support behind it, and the military spirit cannot be maintained."

"The third question, on the question of the possible assistance of the Mongolian army, in more than ten days, the Mongolian army has been evacuated far away, even if they want to rush to help, it is impossible to arrive in a very short time, as long as the army attacks bravely, before the arrival of the Mongolian reinforcements, they can completely defeat the Mongolian army stationed in Huangzhou."

。。。

Lu Wende listened quite carefully, and nodded several times during the period.

Li Siqi, who had not spoken, finally spoke at this moment.

"Dashuai, I think there is some truth in what General Wu said."

Lu Wende thought for a moment and looked at Wu Shaogang as he spoke.

"General Wu, since you have such an incisive understanding, the task of attacking the city of Huangzhou will be handed over to you, but Ben Shuai said ugly words in front, since you have received such an important combat mission, you need to make a military order."

"The subordinates are willing to make a military order."

"How many troops do you need?"

"Three thousand men are enough, but they need to be elite, and they are mainly cavalry."

Lu Wende gasped, Wu Shaogang only needed three thousand people, which greatly surprised him.

"There is no joke in the army, this marshal will deploy the three thousand sergeants of the urging army in the Xingzhou Imperial Front Army to you for command, if the battle fails, this marshal will not be polite."

After Wu Shaogang left, Li Siqi was about to speak, and Lu Wende waved his hand.

"Needless to say, this son is indeed a bit peculiar, and it seems that we still need to spend some money."
