247 Night Raid
"Brother Li, you say, can this plan of ours succeed? You know, that Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui are not good people, although we seized the opportunity of their lack of food this time, but whether they will be fooled, we really don't know, if they find out about our plan, I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will not be easy to deal with, you know, after all, they still have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in their hands, and the trapped beasts are still fighting, but it is not a joke. Sitting inside the gate of the mansion in Luoyang City, Liu Zongmin looked at the sand table on the table that seemed to have shrunk countless times, and said with a frown.
The sand table is made by Shi Lei, although at this time, there is also the so-called sand table, but it is too different from the sand table that is delicate to the size of a house in later generations, and the sand table is made of sand or loess at this time, just like the map at this time, freehand is greater than practical.
Since he has traveled to this era, or living in a period of war, how could Shi Lei forget the big killer weapon of the sand table, after all, no matter how the war changes, in general, it is still three things, the time is favorable, the time is not to say, no one can control it, and the people, the Ming army has done a very good job, and the army trained according to the training methods of the army of later generations is even more obedient to orders than the army of later generations, so the most important thing is geography, If a general can talk about the battlefield where he is fighting in advance, then the war will not be won, and the chances of victory will be two or three more.
In the past, because Shi Lei did not have the need for a big war, even if there was a real battle, it was someone else who would attack him, just like the battle of Tongguan or Hanzhong, at that time, it was the strength of both sides that did not need a sand table. So Shi Lei didn't order someone to make it, and this time Li Yan sent troops to Henan, Shi Lei thought of this plan, so he ordered the nightingale to see that all the geomorphological features in various places were drawn, of course. The painting method is not the freehand painting method of this era, a bend represents a river, but is painted with the most realistic technique, just this, only half of the land of Henan was painted, and it took a long time, hurry up, and finally not long ago, this sand table was sent to Li Yan's army. When they first saw this sand table, whether it was Li Yan, Song Xiance, Liu Zongmin and others, they were shocked, and they were even more afraid of Daming and Shi Lei.
Hearing Liu Zongmin's words, Li Yan also stared at the sand table silently for a long time before saying, "Don't worry." They will definitely be fooled, as long as their food is not settled for a day. Then they can only do everything possible to destroy us and win this war, otherwise, they can only withdraw from Henan in disgrace, but if this is the case, then it will prove that their operation has completely failed. If that were the case, the Manchu Tartars would definitely not spare them, so whether it was for themselves or their Manchu court, they had only one way to fight. In that case, our plan will definitely come true, and now, it depends on whether the Bishui Pass can complete the mission, as long as they succeed in holding it for three days, then the plan can be carried out, if they fail."
Speaking of this, Li Yan didn't continue, but everyone present knew the meaning of what he was going to say next.
"Hahaha, don't worry, Lao Dao just gave General Li and General Yang a hexagram, they must be in danger this time, and the task will definitely be completed smoothly, so don't worry about it." It was Song Xiance who spoke, the military advisor of the Dashun Army, this kind of fortune-telling was originally what he was best at, although everyone didn't know whether what he said was right or not, but at least he had a comfort
Night fell, the battlefield outside Bishui Town was also accompanied by the setting of the sun, and the curtain fell, when the Qing army Mingjin withdrew, the Ming army that had long been unable to hold on suddenly fell into the trench, some people even lay directly on the corpses of the dead comrades around them, so whirring and fell asleep, three days of hard fighting, most of the five hundred Ming army losses, the remaining many people also have more or less scars, and in the second half of the day, the Dashun army that had been hiding in Bishui Town, Under the leadership of Li Guo, they rushed to the position outside the town to help, of course, they must not have such a tacit understanding as the Ming army, and even had many dangerous situations.
After a short period of time, they quickly became familiar with this model, and for a while, the Qing army, which was originally able to occupy some cheap Qing troops, was suddenly embarrassed by these Dashun troops that had already been suffocated, which was also the reason why Wu Sangui withdrew his troops in advance.
Walking on the land that was still a little hot, Li Guo drank cold water and said, "Brother Yang, you see what we are going to do next, now that the three days have arrived, should we leave now, or wait for late at night to leave." ”
Hearing Li Guo's words, he saw Yang Guoguang shake his head, barely swallowed the dry cake in his mouth, and then said, "Li Gongzi, we can't leave now, our battle situation in the past three days must have been seen by Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui, and they now see that there is no food, so in order to be able to break through our defense line as soon as possible, they will definitely not wait until tomorrow, but will launch an attack tonight, so it is not the time for us to go now or late at night." ”
Although Li Guo is sometimes a little rude, but for the war is divided into cleverness, hearing Yang Guoguang's words, he immediately understood what Yang Guoguang meant, his face was stunned for a moment, and then he said with some surprise, "What, Brother Yang is preparing to fight with the Qing army again, but you have already seen the current situation, even if we have that heart, but we don't have that strength, do you really want your brothers to lie here?" ”
Hearing Li Guo's words, Yang Guoguang was not only not surprised, but instead smiled and patted Li Guo's shoulder, and said, "Hahaha, don't worry, Li Gongzi, I invite you to watch a good show tonight, I believe you will definitely like it then." ”
In the middle of the night, everything is silent, except for the insects that like to come out at night, there is no living thing to be seen, of course, the army is stationed here, as long as it is a larger animal, it is either killed, made into a belly, or escaped from here early.
At this time, in the camp of the Qing army, there was a group of soldiers, standing there silently in armor, under the dim light at night, it looked extremely hazy, as if it was not a living person, but a team of powerful ghosts from hell.
This team of 2,000 people, is the most elite team in the hands of Wu Sangui, led by Wu Sangui's other general Wang Pingfan, and other Wu Sangui generals are different, Wang Pingfan is not good at cavalry fighting, he is best at defense, Shanhaiguan can resist the Manchu attack for many years, in addition to the Manchu side is not willing to sacrifice his life in vain, Wang Pingfan's credit is the greatest, of course, everything is relative, just like the most powerful attack is defense, the most powerful defense, also in the offensive.
Those who can do a good job of defending are equally worthwhile, and where the weakest link of the defense is, they are also the most powerful attacking force.
The reason why only a team of 2,000 people is dispatched, in addition to the soldiers are not expensive, the sneak attack pays attention to the speed of a soldier, if tens of thousands of horses are dispatched at a time, it is not a sneak attack, but a night battle, and the other point is that the terrain of Bishui Town is too narrow, and two thousand people are already the limit of what he can accommodate, if there are more people, it will not be useful at all.
"Just built, whether you can break the enemy this time is completely up to you, the lives of more than 100,000 people in our entire army have also been handed over to you, I hope you can break through the defense of the Ming army tonight, and successfully take Bishui Town, if so, I will definitely ask the court for credit to you." Wang Ping's domain had just been built, so Wu Sangui called him so to show that he valued him.
Hearing Wu Sangui's words, Wang Pingfan hurriedly said, "The prince is serious, for so many years, the Ping Fan has been thanks to the care of the prince, otherwise how could there be the Ping Domain, maybe the Ping Fan has already died somewhere, today is the time for me to repay the favor of the prince, how dare I think about the merits of the court?" ”
After saying these words, Wang Pingfan took two thousand elite Wu troops, with a title, and the horses were bound to the opposite side, and the Ming army's position was touched, fortunately, these two thousand people were the most elite troops of Wu Sangui, so they were usually entertained with good food and drink, and there were no people with night blindness, otherwise, I am afraid that there would be a big joke.
Of course, Wang Pingfan with his soldiers, and will not go out, directly towards the Ming army position, if that, it was really discovered by the Ming army on the opposite side, although there is still a distance of five miles between the two sides, so, Wang Pingfan took them to spare a circle, from the side slowly approached the Ming army's position, for the Ming army's position, these days, Wu Sangui also ordered someone to secretly investigate, so it is relatively understanding.
Seeing the Ming army getting closer and closer, Wang Pingfan always felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he thought about it for a while and didn't find that something was wrong, so he had no choice but to continue to walk forward.
"Prepare for battle." When there were still less than three hundred zhang away from the position of the Ming army, Wang Pingfan said in a low voice.
"Rush, kill". Under the leadership of Wang Pingfan, after advancing for a distance, he finally couldn't help shouting, and then, they finally shouted loudly, and at the same time, all the Wu troops rushed towards the Ming army's real madness.
However, when they ran to the trench where the Ming army was stationed, everyone was dumbfounded, because the place where the Ming army was supposed to be hiding was now empty.
