Chapter 266: The Battle to Get Out of Trouble (I)

>,!

Just after the New Year, the Tang Emperor who was far away in Xingyuan, in view of the fact that the first year of Guangming (880) was not peaceful, so he changed the Yuan in the New Year and neutralized it, hoping that the coming year could be peaceful and peaceful.

So the new year became the first year of Zhonghe (881), and after the people in Chang'an City finished the New Year, they were notified by the fangs of each fang to start a new round of war preparations.

Fang Zheng informed the residents of the city that King Ji planned to fight a big battle with the thieves outside the city in the near future. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare in advance, and no one can say when the fight will start.

The civilians cursed the thieves outside the city and complained that the Chinese New Year was not easy. However, King Ji was very good to the civilians, and he did not treat the civilians harshly, and he was very good at rewarding him for defending the city.

Now that the times are unpredictable, with money in hand and food at home, this day is not in a hurry. Therefore, although the civilians complained a lot, they did not slack off.

The Zhu Wen camp outside the city is also very joyful and easy-going, after all, the Yellow King has just ascended the throne, although Zhu Wen has not been able to mix with the great merits, but he has made a lot of contributions in the past, so Huang Chao rewarded him with the ministry of the Chang'an defense envoy, and added the official positions of the servant and the Huazhou Jiedu envoy.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhu Wen was drinking with his generals, and today's drinking was to celebrate the New Year and to celebrate Zhu Wen being rewarded by the Great Qi court.

There is another reason why Zhu Wen is happy, after the fifteenth day, someone will come to besiege Chang'an instead of him and let him go back to Luoyang to rest.

"¢, being able to leave Chang'an and return to Luoyang, the center of the Great Qi court, is Zhu Wen's top priority now. He is a military general, although Daqi also established the country by force, but he has never been able to enter the inner circle around Huang Chao.

There is also Meng Kai's dog talent in the court, who makes things difficult for himself everywhere, and this time he was left to besiege Chang'an, which is from Meng Kai's slander. The one who can suppress Meng Kai in the court is Shang Rang, and he can go back this time because Shang Rang suggested to King Huang.

The most fundamental reason why Zhu Wen is happy is that he can catch the line of Shang Rang, although Shang Rang has followed Wang Xianzhi, but since he returned to Huang Chao, he has always been very respected by Huang Wang.

Shang Rang is a civil servant, if he wants to stand tall in the court, he must have a strong military general to support him, it seems that Shang Rang has valued himself.

Zhu Wen thought about the scene when he was relied on by Shang Rang and made Meng Kai deflated, and he couldn't help but increase his pride. He picked up the big bowl, raised it and said to the generals in the hall: "Come, let's drink this wine, and then we will disperse, military affairs are the priority." ”

All the generals shouted in unison: "Zhu Jun is arrogant, do it!" ”

The generals dispersed after drinking, and Zhu Wen did not stop them, and after everyone in the tent dispersed, Zhu Wen beckoned a strategist, this person was named Xie Tong. It's a landed man. Follow Zhu Wen for a long time.

He said: "This time I can get a reward, it all depends on Shang Taiwei (Shang Rang) to take care of it, we don't have nothing empty hands now, you go to the surrounding places to see if you can scavenge some beauties and money or something, and I want to express my heart to Shang Taiwei." ”

Xie Tong said: "We have already swept the districts and counties around Chang'an several times, I'm afraid there is nothing valuable, if you want to loot money and women, you have to go to Tongzhou on the other side of Weishui." ”

Zhu Wen thought for a while and said, "It's good that you go over there and bring more people, but this matter must be done quickly, we will go back to Luoyang in the fifteenth, and you must come back before that." ”

Xie Tong immediately nodded and said: "I understand, the military envoy is waiting here with peace of mind, and I will definitely fight quickly." ”

Xie Tong said goodbye and left.

Li Bao has been contacting reinforcements outside the city these days, and he is very cautious in planning this breakthrough battle, after all, the strength in his hands is very weak, if he is not careful, the army he has spent time and energy to build will suffer heavy losses.

At present, the reinforcements outside the city are only more than 10,000 people, and the trained Shence army in the city cannot be counted on, so it is okay for them to shoot bows and arrows. Trying to get them to charge and kill the enemy would only backfire.

Therefore, once the battle starts, it must be able to kill the peasant army outside the city by surprise, as long as they can be defeated at once, then the rest will be smooth.

In order to achieve this goal, the breakthrough battle must be chosen at night, after all, the night of this era is dark everywhere. Night raids are also the best time to fight. However, all this is based on the fact that the coordination and cooperation of various departments must be accurate, and it is also a great test of the leadership level of the commanders.

Although Zhang Qingping and his people have also experienced several battles, they are all small-scale battles, and this kind of general battle of tens of thousands of people may not be able to adapt well.

However, there is no good way now, only to calculate what you can grasp on your side first, and coordinate all the favorable factors of your own side, so that in the end, the balance of victory will slowly favor your side.

Now the peasant army is a little lax in the siege of Chang'an City, perhaps because of the Chinese New Year. However, it is a good thing that the thieves are lax, at least it is much easier for Li Bao to send people out of the city to contact the reinforcements outside the city.

Now Yang Siqi, the Weizhou New Army and the Fengxiang Town Army are all stationed at the small wharf by the Weishui where Zhang Chengfan's rebels were temporarily stationed that day.

Where it is hidden is not easy to be detected, and where it is also very close to Chang'an, it is convenient to support at any time.

Through contact, it was determined that Zhang Qingping, who was farthest away, would be able to arrive with his Shannan Army on the tenth day of the first lunar month at the earliest, and then he would be able to launch a breakthrough battle.

Li Bao looked at the surrounding map, and then planned the besieging peasant army outside the city, as well as the deployment of troops between the various departments.

He raised his head and asked Zhang Chengfan, "Little Zhang, do you think it's best for us to break through?" ”

Zhang Chengfan looked at the map and thought about it again: "I think it's best when it's still the fifth watch, when people are the most sleepy, so it's convenient for us to get rid of the thieves' sentry in the dark."

In addition, since Zhang Duwei can feel it in the tenth year of the first year, it is better to let Zhang Duwei rest for two days first, and the army will recuperate. How about starting in the early morning on the 14th day of the first lunar month? ”

Li Bao nodded in agreement, night battles are fatal to people in this time and space, because most people have night blindness, Li Bao knows that this disease is caused by a lack of vitamins, but fortunately, his army pays attention to this nutritional intake in their daily diet. Early in the morning, he instructed the firefighters in the army to regularly feed the soldiers' men vegetables and animal livers as ingredients.

Therefore, his men are not afraid of night battles, and as for the peasant army outside the city, it must be more serious.

The timing is chosen, and the next step is to have a specific strategy. Whoever attacks and where, you need to discuss it first, otherwise when the time comes, the lack of rules will definitely cause chaos, or there will be an oolong incident that accidentally injures one's side.

Li Bao turned to Hu Sanbao, and then said, "San'er, you can tell me about the bandit generals and troops deployed in various places outside the city." ”

Hu Sanbao nodded, and then said: "There are thieves besieged on all sides outside the city, and after many days of investigation, the generals of the thieves on all sides have been identified." ”

After speaking, Hu Sanbao looked at Li Bao, and then continued: "To the south of the city is Zhu Wen's Chinese army, where there are the largest troops, there are 20,000 troops, to the west of the city is Li Yan, with 10,000 troops, to the east of the city, the guard general Zhu Zhen, with 10,000 troops, and to the north of the city is Zhang Guihou, which is also 10,000 troops. ”

After listening to Hu Sanbao's report, Li Bao looked at everyone, "Where do you think you are the weakest?" ”

Zhang Zhifang thought for a while and said: "These people are not familiar to us, and we don't know their weaknesses, so these people are the same for us." As long as Zhu Wen's Chinese army camp is not selected as a breakthrough, it will be fine. ”

Zhang Zhifang's opinion can be said to be more pertinent and correct. But this is the truth, Li Bao smiled.

"Since our reinforcements are in the northwest corner of the city, then let's pick the nearest one, one side is chaotic, and as long as the other three sides can't support in time, then let's break up the west and then leave. If they come, let's just encircle the point and send reinforcements, and arrange ambushes in the northwest and northeast corners. That's all it takes! ”

It was Zhang Chengfan who spoke, his strategy was the most realistic, and the others present also nodded in approval. After all, Chang'an City is very large, so no matter how many troops the thief army has, all the siege must be dispersed.

Li Bao's reinforcements concentrated their forces on only one side, just like the classic tactics in Li Bao's later People's Liberation War. With mental calculation or unintentional, this battle can still be fought.

It's roughly decided, and the next thing is the small details, who will attack, who will assist, who will respond, Li Bao must discuss a plan with Zhang Zhifang and Zhang Chengfan, the two generals who know the army, and then discuss it with the reinforcements outside the city.

It's roughly decided, and the next thing is the small details, who will attack, who will assist, who will respond, Li Bao must discuss a plan with Zhang Zhifang and Zhang Chengfan, the two generals who know the army, and then discuss it with the reinforcements outside the city.

In the next few days, Li Bao and the high-ranking officials in the city negotiated with each other, and the details were repeatedly scrutinized, for fear that there would be a little mistake. In addition, Hu Sanbao reported to Li Bao that part of the army of the thieves outside the city had left, and Li Bao immediately ordered Yang Siqi outside the city to pay close attention to see what this team of people was doing and camera action.

Zhang Zhifang thought for a while and said: "These people are not familiar to us, and we don't know their weaknesses, so these people are the same for us." As long as Zhu Wen's Chinese army camp is not selected as a breakthrough, it will be fine. ”
