Chapter 315: Broken Soldiers
Keeping the Yuan brothers fifty miles away from Liyang, but unfortunately they couldn't move, Meng Ge didn't care about this, what he cared about was the arrangement of the enemy army, as always, it was difficult to speak, but there were slight differences, and there were slight changes.
Compared with the previous formation, the enemy army has increased the mobile force, that is, the cavalry, with the presence of cavalry, the enemy's movements will be more agile, and the reaction ability will be better, but the enemy army has not been dispatched from beginning to end, only the cavalry is placed, and it is in the innermost layer.
Without waiting for Meng Ge to observe for long, Zhao Yun ran back, mobilizing the enemy army can reduce morale, after all, everyone will be tired, compared to the easy movement of the cavalry, the pressure on the enemy army is also greater, and now this heat is almost over.
As soon as he finished the teasing, Zhao Yun ran over and saluted: "General, you have finally come over, the enemy army has been pinned, and Wen Yuan has killed the rear of the enemy army!" ”
"Sure enough, I went to the rear!" Meng Ge secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and then pondered for a while before he said slowly: "Well, I know, but Wen Yuan is a little anxious, cutting off the enemy's back road, the idea is good, but without the existence of the poisonous dragon camp, it is not wise to cut off the enemy's back road." ”
Zhao Yun said secretly in his heart: "It seems that the general does not agree, Wen Yuan is really in a hurry!" ”
But without waiting for Zhao Yun to reply, Meng Ge continued: "Since Wen Yuan has already done it, then we can't ignore it, it may be a good thing to break the puzzle early, but you found that no, the enemy cavalry is not all!" Also, if at night, they want to retreat, how can we stop it? ”
After all, the night will lose the advantage of the day, and in a situation that cannot be seen clearly, the enemy's movements will be very hidden, simply put, the Yuan army will flee at night, and there is not much way.
"Unless there's only one way to Liyang!" Zhao Yun blurted out that if there was only one way for the enemy to retreat, then things would be much easier, and if this road was blocked, the enemy would not be able to pass.
Meng Ge nodded and said: "That's right, if there is only one road to Liyang, then we don't have to worry, as long as Wen Yuan blocks this road, the enemy's rear road will be cut off, but if there is more than one road, it is Wen Yuan who is encircled, after all, at night, our army can't exert pressure!" ”
At this time, Xia Houlan suddenly interjected: "Then don't worry, general, there is only one way from here to Liyang." ”
Mongo looked back in surprise and asked with a grim face, "How do you know, have you walked this way?" ”
"Of course, I once walked through it, and I can't be mistaken!" Xia Houlan is very sure that when he first came here, he still remembered it vividly, and he would never make a mistake.
"A road!" A smile appeared on Mongo's face, if there was only one way, many things would be different, and the enemy might be desperate, after all, if they were attacked on their backs, they would be doomed.
On the other side of the battlefield, Zhang Liao was also aware of the problem, if the enemy army had more than one retreat route, it would be much more difficult, after all, at night, the risk of the enemy retreat was reduced, and the enemy army was likely to take the opportunity to attack, which was also a problem he was worried about.
But this problem was quickly solved, after cutting through the enemy's right flank, Zhang Liao quickly extended backwards, Zhao Yun was very cooperative to drag the enemy, Zhang Liao's actions were extremely smooth, the enemy foot soldiers had been thrown behind, or the enemy did not dare to chase out again.
After marching for less than ten miles, suddenly the scout in front reported: "General, there is a bridge ahead!" ”
"Bridge!" Zhang Liao suddenly showed joy, it was finally right, it was really wonderful that a bridge appeared in this position, if the bridge was destroyed, it would be difficult for the enemy to pass, and he was one step closer to his goal.
"Let's go, go over and have a look!" Zhang Liao hurriedly ran up, he wanted to see for himself whether the bridge could be effective, if the bridge was damaged, it would be interesting to block the enemy's retreat.
Quickly ran to the front line, in front of Zhang Liao, there was a bridge, and below was the water flow that was not turbulent, Zhang Liao suddenly frowned, on the surface, the water flow was not too fast, and it should be able to wade through.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Liao immediately said: "Try to find someone with the surname of moving water, pull it with a rope, and see if you can cross the river, if you can't cross it, then destroy the bridge!" ”
Whether it works or not, in the end, depends on the question of the flow of water, Zhang Liao decided to try it himself, if it really doesn't work, then it is only to start from the rear, see if there is a similar position behind, if there is, block it, the enemy will naturally have no way to retreat.
As soon as the military order was given, someone immediately went into the water, so many people, it is not difficult to find someone who understands the surname Shui, even if it is a northerner, there will be no one with the surname Shui, not to mention that Meng Ge also asked for swimming.
The cavalry on the bridge passed slowly, and Zhang Liao stood on the bank, nervously checking the problem of crossing the river, and suddenly the soldiers in the river were washed down, Zhang Liao was immediately overjoyed, this has not yet reached the middle of the river, and the people can't stand, much better than he imagined.
Zhang Liao immediately shouted: "Pull people back, don't have an accident!" ”
There was no need for Zhang Liao to remind him, the people below immediately pulled the rope, and the soldiers who tested the depth and speed of the river were pulled back, but this time it was certain that this bridge was very critical, and it was very likely that the bridge would decide to go.
Zhang Liao, who was excited, immediately shouted: "The whole army will cross the river immediately, and the bridge will be demolished later!" ”
As soon as the military ordered, the speed of crossing the river suddenly accelerated, and as soon as the river was crossed, Zhang Liao immediately ordered to set fire, and the bridge immediately burst into flames, and Zhang Liao ran away and ran to his next target.
Yuan Jun, who caught up behind, looked at the fire and wanted to cry without tears, this bridge is probably gone, and it will take a lot of time to rebuild the pontoon bridge, and it is impossible to think about it tonight.
The rear bridge was destroyed, the news soon came back, Yuan Jun ten miles away panicked, Zhang Liao was really ruthless enough, not only cut off other people's back roads, but also cut off his own back roads, he didn't plan to fight back at all, I'm afraid he had the intention to hit the rear.
Maybe it wasn't in a hurry just now, but now Yuan Xi was really anxious, and couldn't help but worry: "What should I do, what if he attacks Liyang?" ”
"Attack Liyang and use cavalry to attack the city!" Tian Feng was shocked for a moment, but after thinking about it, this was really possible, he should have reached Liyang, but now the enemy army has passed over first, it is an opportunity to be surprised, this time it is a big trouble.
The same Guigu Hidden Dragon also thought that the enemy army was very likely to attack Liyang, once Liyang was captured, the back road would be completely cut off, and the army must turn around, otherwise it would face the situation of being attacked by the enemy on its back.
The Hidden Dragon of the Ghost Valley suddenly said urgently: "Is there a way to cross the river upstream and build a pontoon bridge, how long will it take?" ”
The scout, who is familiar with this generation, immediately said: "If you make a detour, I'm afraid you will have to make a detour of 100 miles, and it will take two days to build a pontoon bridge!" ”
"Bastard, turn back a hundred miles, it's strange that Mongo can let us go!" The Hidden Dragon of the Ghost Valley couldn't help but scold, the calmness in the ordinary words disappeared completely, and the battle situation became like this, which was really troublesome.
If there is a delay here for two days, Meng Ge will have enough time to arrange, and it is very likely that he will be trapped to death, thinking of this, the hidden dragon of Guigu can no longer hold back, this battle is really aggrieved.
I originally wanted to take advantage of Menggo's lack of troops and give Menggo a hard time, but suddenly killed a second army, and then the next day was found out the truth and had to evacuate in advance.
Looking at the angry Guigu Hidden Dragon, Yuan Tan looked weird, he had never seen the Guigu Hidden Dragon like this, it can be seen how bad the situation is, on the other hand, Tian Feng is not much better, what they are most worried about appears, if things are a little worse, that is, Liyang has been attacked.
Then there is no need to fight this battle, once Liyang is broken, the back road will be completely blocked, with the food and grass of the army, it will not be able to support it for even a month, as long as Meng Ge drags the pace of the army, he will naturally be able to win a big victory.
"It's a thousand miles away!" Tian Feng couldn't help but lament, if things really developed like this, there was a danger of annihilation, and it was not difficult for Meng Ge to delay for a month.
Even the Ghost Valley Hidden Dragon and Tian Feng were like this, Yuan Xi secretly said bitterly, if he had known that this would be the case, he would not have come to kill him, but now there is no way.
Everything didn't go well, and the Ghost Valley Hidden Dragon was helpless, but he quickly calmed down and immediately said: "Don't worry, we still have a chance, since Meng Ge is fighting so hard, we can't help but express it, wait and see, maybe this is also a turning point!" ”
"What do you mean?" Yuan Xi immediately asked, he really didn't understand, it had become like this, what else was there to turn around, he really couldn't see any turnaround.
If the pursuit is too deep, it may lead to a disconnect between the front and the back, Han Xin grinded Xiang Yu to death at the beginning, and this method was used, the two armies in the front and rear were out of touch, and the enemy army would have an opportunity.
Now that the Mongo army has been disjointed, and the crossbow battalion and the cavalry are fifty miles apart, if a partial division is killed at this time, the retreat can be cut off, and the situation will change again.
On the other side, Meng Ge was actively studying the map, Zhang Liao suddenly rushed behind the enemy, the situation was very different, but now it was time to take action, after some research, Meng Ge came to a conclusion, Zhang Liao will inevitably destroy the bridge, hold the only passage, so that it can be delayed for one or two days.
Meng Ge dragged his chin and pondered: "In about two days, Wen Yuan has a chance to attack Liyang, Zilong, do you think Wen Yuan will do this?" ”
Judging from the map, attacking Liyang at this time is definitely a clever move, Zhao Yun immediately said: "Absolutely, what is the general's plan?" ”
Meng Ge smiled and said indifferently: "I don't have any plans, we can intercept the rear army, the enemy army can do the same, I'm afraid we are also very dangerous!" ”
"This!" Zhao Yun's face changed suddenly, judging from the map, the crossbow battalion is indeed disjointed, and it takes time to support each other, if a partial division is killed at this time, the result will be completely different.
If the enemy army is killed at this time, there is only one direction, that is, the northwest of the original enemy camp, where there may still be enemies, that place is close to Makino, and maybe there are still enemy troops, after all, the enemy's hole cards have not all appeared, this matter may be possible.
But after thinking about it, Zhao Yun felt that something was wrong, "General, since there is such a danger, why do you want to come here!" ”
"I can't bear to let the child trap not find the wolf, if you want to destroy the enemy, then you have to let the enemy press out, and sometimes you have to deliberately show flaws!" Meng Ge looked indifferent, and said very easily, but Zhao Yun's pressure rose suddenly, as he thought, it was really deliberate.
Xia Houlan interjected again: "General, what should I do now?" Is it a return to the carbine? ”
Obviously, Xiahou Lan was very excited, because once he fell into the calculation, he would be able to beat the water dogs, just imagine, if Meng Ge suddenly killed back, what would happen to the enemy army that was lured out, it must be panicked, this kind of opportunity is rare.
Meng Ge shook his head and said casually: "Kill back, it's not time yet, we still have to stay for a while, besides, Wen He will not be easily defeated, don't worry too much!" ”
Zhao Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he secretly felt a pang in his heart: "It seems that the general has already calculated, and the enemy is probably still in the valley, if he rushes in, I am afraid that he will not know how to die." ”
For Jia Xu's ability, Meng Ge is very assured, if the enemy attacks the battalion, I am afraid the result will not be good, whether he can run away is still a question, he is looking forward to how the enemy army will get out.
In fact, this enemy army should only be regarded as bait, of course, with 40,000 troops as bait, this thing is probably a bit weird, but Mongo is not strange, sometimes the position of the master and slave has to be changed, what is the enemy's intentions, Mongo is not sure, but he is eighty percent sure.
Now the enemy is afraid that he has already made a move, but this bait seems to want to run, but unfortunately he is very embarrassed, Zhang Liao doesn't seem to want him to run away, once this back road is broken, this bait will become a turtle in an urn.
Meng Ge chased and killed with the cavalry, which made Jia Xu bitter, temporarily took over the army, and guarded the camp on his behalf, and there must be no mistakes, out of intuition, Jia Xu did not think that he could easily pass this pass.
"My lord, there are enemy troops in the northwest, and they are rapidly approaching!"
Jia Xu's heart suddenly burst, but his face said calmly: "I know, I can do what I should do, they will attack if they have the courage!" ”
The others were a little panicked, and Yang Dingfang said with an uncertain expression: "My lord, is that starting to arm!" ”
"What kind of defense, just let them attack, if our joint camp enemy army can break through, I really don't believe it, let's wait for them in the camp!" Jia Xu was full of confidence, and judging from the current situation, the enemy's strength was not enough to break through the camp.
Of course, unless the enemy army has more than five times the strength, but this is simply impossible, five times the enemy army, that is, nearly 100,000 troops, if the Yuan brothers can have 100,000 troops, this battle will not be like this.
Just twenty miles away from the camp, Gongsun Chan was approaching rapidly, intending to have some thoughts about the rear army of Menggo, but what he didn't know was that maybe it was himself who fell into the calculation.
In the face of the enemy's attack, Jia Xu was as steady as Mount Tai, sitting in the camp of the Chinese army, quietly waiting for the enemy to attack, but Yang Dingfang and others were not so calm, although what they said was good, but it was another thing to fight, and the joint camp was also broken.
