Chapter 390: Darkness Chen Cang
In the middle of the lofty mountains, the sound of sawing wood of the 'buzzing' iron saw is endless, and in the col between the mountains, a mountain road several zhang wide has been opened up by the Song Army's Anqing Army Zhang Poyu's department. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The mountain road is paved with logs, which are smeared with smooth tung oil, and the logs shine with a round luster.
Zhang Poyu, the privy envoy in charge of opening the way, heard that Hao Ren had come to the front line, and hurriedly ran over to pick up the driver, accidentally stepped on the log, and fell on all fours in front of Hao Ren.
Hao Ren bent down to help Zhang Poyu on the ground, and asked with concern, "The road is all opened?" ”
Zhang Poyu rubbed his farts and said suspiciously: "The thirty-mile mountain road has been opened up according to His Majesty's plan, and through this road, you can go directly to the back of Huangshi Pass." But the Yangtze River is on the other side of the road, and there is no boat to meet us at that end, so what is the use of opening a mountain road? ”
"Who says we don't have a ship?" Hao Ren said, pointing behind him: "Isn't this our ship?" ”
Behind Hao Ren, the stretching line was mighty, and there was no end in sight.
The Jiang Defense Army's naval army and Yang's infantry mixed with each other, issuing a low trumpet, and a building ship of the Jiang Defense Army several feet high slowly drove forward along the mountain road of Tongyou.
Dozens of cables were tied to the mast and side of the ship, dozens of horses were pulling in front, dozens of sailors were using crowbars, knocking on the stern, and the ship was in contact with the rolling logs on the ground, or relying on the sliding of tung oil, or moving forward along the traces of rolling logs.
Zhang Poyu was vigilant, looking at the endless building boat, slowly moving forward on the mountain road and mountain that he had painstakingly designed, his heart was like a mirror.
Hao Ren ordered him to open a road in the mountains, leading directly behind the Huangshi Pass, the purpose of which was to drag the warship behind the enemy unconsciously and give the enemy a surprise blow.
Such a ingenious design, not to mention that Zhang Dingbian knew in advance, that is, Hao Ren did not drag the warship over, Zhang Poyu didn't know why he wanted to build such a road, and Zhang Dingbian would not have thought that Hao Ren would use the army to feint on Huangshi Pass in front, but quietly opened up a road in the mountains to transport the warship through Huangshi Pass.
In order to prevent the Song army from breaking through the natural danger, the Han gathered a large number of troops at Huangshi Pass, and even the 100,000 elite Xia troops sent by Ming Yuzhen, the two forces took great pains to guard against the Song army.
Once the warships of the Song army went straight to the back of Huangshi Pass, they unexpectedly defeated the remnants of the Han army behind Huangshi Pass, and broke through the water army of Huangshi Pass, they could bypass the strong enemy of Huangshi Pass, and the army would go straight to the city of Hankou, the old nest of the Han Dynasty.
The old nest of the Han Dynasty was captured, even if the Han regime was completely destroyed, the 200,000 Xia and Han coalition forces in Huangshi Pass lost their support bases, and they would be surrounded and annihilated by the Song army on the east and west sides.
"Haha!" Zhang Poyu was excited when he thought about it, slapped his thigh, and said happily: "Your Majesty, you are really a genius!" "After that, I want to give Hao Ren a bear hug.
Zhang Poyu heard a dry cough from his master Shi Nai'an, and realized that Hao Ren was still followed by several cabinet members and generals, and he couldn't be unscrupulous, so he restrained his movements, and ordered his army soldiers with a wave of his hand: "Brothers, let's pull the boat together, the destruction of the Han Dynasty is just around the corner!" ”
The building ships that were slowly taxiing on the Tongyou Road, after getting new external forces, how much the speed of travel increased, and several building ships had surpassed Hao Ren's position in the blink of an eye.
Wu Liuqi and Yu Tonghai, commanders of the Jiang Defense Army and Navy, only knew Hao Ren's true intentions at this time, and they all came to compliment Hao Ren, and several cabinet members also gave a thumbs up excitedly.
"Your Majesty, how did you come up with such a genius idea?" Zhang Poyu scratched his head and asked in confusion.
"It's okay to read more!" Hao Ren looked unfathomable again, and he said as if his war ideas were read from books.
Several well-educated cabinet ministers and imperial historians racked their brains and did not remember when a similar war had occurred in history, and in which book could a similar record be found.
Or Shi Nai'an was slightly better, knocked on his gray beard, gave a thumbs up, and praised: "'Ming Xiu plank road, dark Chen Cang', high!" It's really high! ”
Hao Ren suddenly remembered that in history, when the Ottoman Empire attacked Constantinople, the capital of Eastern Rome, it used the method of landing warships, and if it was placed in the historical timeline, this event would still be decades later, and there would naturally be no record in the books of Middle-earth.
If it is explained by Han Xin's 'Ming Xiu Plank Road, Darkness Chen Cang', it also makes perfect sense, Sun Tzu said: Win with righteousness and oddity.
Hao Ren didn't use suspicious soldiers to contain Zhang Dingbian's attention on the front, but he used surprise soldiers to make the details unexpected.
Hao Ren naturally couldn't tell the source of his ideas, and let his subordinates worship him as a god of war.
……
At midnight, Zhang Dingbian, the commander of the Huangshi Fortress, suddenly heard the rumbling of cannons outside the pass, thinking that the Song army had launched a sneak attack at night, so he hurriedly put on his battle robe and went to the front line to supervise the battle.
However, the Song army under the gate, as always, only used artillery fire to fire aimlessly at the mountains, while Yu Tonghai's navy was just outside the range of the Han army's artillery, waving its flag and shouting. The attack of the Song army was thunderous, and His Highness, after waiting for half the night, did not see the enemy launch a charge.
Zhang Dingbian also felt strange. The night attack of the Song army was just a few cannons to harass it, but tonight, it was noisy until dawn, which was really abnormal.
But Zhang Dingbian has a bottom in his heart. He held the Huangshi fortress steadily, blocked the Song army under the pass, and when the veterans of the Song army were tired, he teamed up with the 100,000 troops of the Xia army to break the enemy together, and the Song army's attack on Han was bound to end in failure.
"Amazing, Lord Lieutenant!" Navy Marshal Miao Mei's face was black, and she crashed straight into Zhang Dingbian's military tent, and her ass was slumped on the ground: "Big man, it's over!" ”
"What?" Zhang Dingbian's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "Could it be that the naval army you stationed behind the gate has been attacked by a sneak attack?" ”
"Why is it just a sneak attack? The Great Han Naval Army, the whole army has been destroyed! Miao Mei said with a depressed face: "The fleet of the Great Song Dynasty ships fell from the sky, our naval army did not guard against it, the naval army was stationed in the battalion on the shore, and a small part of our warships were destroyed by the enemy's artillery, and most of them became the trophies of the Song army, and the entire Han naval army was destroyed!" ”
Zhang Dingbian still refused to believe this fact, and jumped up from the Taishi's chair with a 'Teng', as for how the Song army came to be, it didn't matter, the key point was to find a remedy, and asked: "Where is the fleet of the Great Song Dynasty now?" ”
"The Song army used our warships to accept a large number of Song infantry to board the ship after the pass, and the forward went all the way to the west, at this time, the fleet of the Song army may have appeared under the capital Hankou City!" Miao Mei wanted to cry without tears.
On the Jianghan Plain, the river forks are vertical and horizontal, and Zhang Dingbian's army stationed at Huangshi Pass is not carried by boats, and it is completely dependent on foot, and there is no time for more than half a month, so it is impossible to reach Hankou at all. The remnants of the Han Dynasty located in the Jianghan Plain, backed by Ming Yuzhen of Great Xia, the main force of the army was on the eastern front to defend against the attack of the Great Song Dynasty, and Hankou was about an empty city.
"Plop!" Zhang Dingbian slumped on the Taishi's chair, extremely desperate: "Big Han...... It's over......"
