Chapter 130: The Decisive Battle of the Tiger Prison Pass (3)
Sima Shu listened to the cheers of the crowd, and couldn't help but feel proud, he looked at the mighty and majestic Tiger Prison Pass and sighed: "What a majestic pass!" This place can be attacked, retreated can be defended, we can take advantage of the favorable terrain of the Tiger Prison Pass, drag the main force of the rebels here, and drag them until the morale of the rebels plummets and shows flaws, we will take them down in one fell swoop! ”
As soon as Sima Shu's words fell, the pro-army soldiers around him raised their arms and shouted, "The prince will win, the prince will win!" ”
Under the influence of emotion, Sima Shu turned over and dismounted, took a pair of drumsticks from a sergeant next to him, and struck 'dong dong', and everyone couldn't figure out what the prince was going to do. With a rapid drum beat, a heroic voice followed.
"The wolf smoke rises and the wolf smoke rises and the rivers and mountains look north,
The dragon flag rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword aura is like frost!
The heart is like the Yellow River
Who can fight ...... in 20 years?"
Everyone is a hot-blooded soldier, and this impassioned song "Loyal to the Country" attracted everyone's attention at once, and everyone stared at the prince without blinking, for fear that they would miss a lyric.
This song, which is completely different from the current genre, instantly captured the hearts of many soldiers present, and many people couldn't help but hum along with the prince. Especially since the prince had just led a small number of troops to destroy the rebel army of 5,000 people, this heroic song aroused the competitive spirit of everyone present.
By this time, the morale of the defenders had reached its peak, and the people were no longer afraid of the rebels, who were ten times more outnumbered than them. In the end, Sima Shu couldn't be described as singing, his whole person was simply roaring. It wasn't until half an hour later that everyone came back to their senses from the prince's singing.
The celebratory dinner immediately began, and everyone present was excited about the prince's efforts to kill 5,000 rebels today, especially those soldiers who participated in the ambush operation, and frequently boasted about how vulnerable the rebels were, which greatly relieved everyone's tension.
In fact, the results of this small battle are indeed brilliant, and Sima Shu can be described as a dangerous soldier. He took a huge risk and dispatched a small group of elite soldiers, destroying 5,000 rebels in one fell swoop, defeating the arrogance of the enemy and greatly boosting the morale of his own side. Of course, this operation is very risky, and if you fail to lure the enemy and are surrounded by rebels, the consequences will be unimaginable.
But there is a good saying: become a king and defeat a villain!
Cheng is king, and Sima Shu can succeed inspiring.
If you lose, you will be a coward, not only will you not be a lone hero, but you may also become a laughing stock for a thousand autumns who are not self-sufficient.
However, God was on his side, and his small victory was fulfilled, and he achieved great prestige.
Seeing that everyone's optimism was a little too much, Sima Shu hurriedly poured cold water on everyone, "Everyone, it's just a small victory, and everyone can't be complacent." As the saying goes, the arrogant army will be defeated, and we have to guard against the rebel counterattack. If you lose your life because of negligence, it's really not worth it. ”
"Follow the prince's teachings, we will not let the rebels succeed!"
Since it was still during the war, the banquet was not held for a long time, and the drinks were very small. After the banquet, the irrelevant people retreated, leaving only Sima Shu, Li Te, Zu Yue, Yao Gezhong, Li Xiong, Fu Hong and others, all of whom were senior generals and leaders in the army.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that through today's battle, everyone can see that although there are many rebels, they are definitely not as elite as us. The only thing to worry about is the Xianbei Iron Cavalry that has not yet arrived, according to intelligence, this time the Duan Xianbei and some Wuhuan tribes have dispatched a total of 50,000 Iron Cavalry, and their strength should not be underestimated, they should be our fierce enemies! ”
"What Your Highness said is that today's battle is just a small setback to the rebels, and it has not yet hurt the other party's bones, and the pressure we will face in the future will not be easy." Zu Yue also nodded thoughtfully.
"However, this battle is not without benefits, through this battle, I am afraid that in the future, His Highness's prestige will be spread all over the world! When those rebels heard the name of His Highness, they were terrified, and they trembled. And through today's provocation, the momentum of the rebels has fallen, and then it depends on how the King of the East China Sea, the King of Hejian and others plan! ”
"Humph! If they are brave, they will try it in person! Wechen is afraid that the king of the East China Sea does not have the courage! Leeter said disdainfully.
"Hehe, Xuan Xiu is right, hahaha. However, Lone felt that there were many people of insight in the rebel camp, and they would definitely not agree to the East Sea King using his sword and gun at this juncture. The rebels need time to adjust, but we can't leave them idle. Starting tomorrow, divide some of the defenders into dozens of squads, led by their respective battalions, and then sneak out of the Tiger Prison to sneak up on the rebels' logistical supply lines. ”
Sima Shu decided to continue to harass the rebels with guerrilla warfare in later generations, and as a puppet army fan from later generations, he certainly knew the power of guerrilla warfare. Guerrilla warfare, if properly applied, can definitely produce strategic results.
Sure enough, when the rebels began to prepare for it the next day, the defenders fought a classic guerrilla war under the command of Sima Shu. Yao Gezhong, Li Te, Fu Hong, Zu Yue and others went out again and again to attack the rebel scout team, transport team, patrol team, etc., in short, their actions made the rebels restless and nervous.
For a time, the rebels shook.
"A handful of light riders?" Sima Yue stroked his beard, frowned and said, "If it's just a light ride, it's more difficult to deal with." The cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and it is difficult to surround and kill the opponent, so you can only use cavalry to deal with it! Alas, it would be nice if Wang Jun, the assassin of Youzhou, was here, and he had tens of thousands of Xianbei iron cavalry under his command, which was enough to sweep away these hateful small cavalry! ”
Regarding Sima Yue's words, Sima Yan, the king of Hejian, also nodded in agreement and said, "What the king of the East China Sea said is right. If Sima Shu only sent light cavalry to harass us and others, then he should have only had the purpose of sneak attack. Although it will not cause much harm, of course, all this is just speculation. For the sake of security, the widow thought that it would be more appropriate to strengthen the forces in various places. ”
The two princes spoke, and the strategists under their command were not to be outdone, and they all offered suggestions, hoping to solve the problems encountered by the army.
Fang Yang followed the words of his own prince and said: "The king's suggestion is very good, according to the intelligence, the only cavalry that attacked us this time is a very small number, so as long as we strengthen the forces in various places, we will definitely be able to discourage the small forces of the enemy." ”
Seeing that the strategists under the command of the King of Hejian were brilliant, and the subordinates of the King of the East China Sea were not to be outdone, Xun Kai twisted his beard and said: "Two princes, the reason why the prince adopts this rogue-style style of play is nothing more than to deceive us for a while, and the morale of the army is low, and it is inconvenient to send troops for the time being. Therefore, I feel that we can completely treat others in their own way. While reinforcing the forces in several key roads, we ambushed heavy troops somewhere, lured the enemy into being fooled, and then took the opportunity to surround and kill them! If this is repeated many times, the morale of our army will inevitably be high, and the prince will ......"
"Well, good, good, good, Lord Xun's suggestion is very good!"
"Lord Xun is high! I'm waiting to admire! ”
Hearing that Xun Kai won the full house, Sima Yan stopped talking again, and he was very envious and jealous in his heart. Ever since the King of the East China Sea arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass, the King of Hejian felt that he was inferior to the other party everywhere. Especially in terms of talent comparison, there are only a few people under his command, and the king of the East China Sea can really be called a soldier like a cloud and a strategist like rain.
Sometimes the King of Hejian even sighed secretly, if he had a famous man like Xun Kai under his command as a strategist, he would definitely not be as embarrassed as he is now. He felt that he had no one to use under his command except Bi Heng.
"Newspaper-" Just as the King of Hejian was thinking about his own thoughts, a soldier ran in with a loud shout, and bowed to the King of the East China Sea and the King of Hejian with his fists: "Qiqi two princes, Mengjin is urgent!" ”
"Meng Jin?" Sima Yue couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "It can't be that there is another problem with the king of Chengdu, right?" ”
Ignoring the self-talk of the King of the East China Sea, the King of Hejian took over the military information, directly spread it out and looked at it, raised his head and said: "What the King of the East China Sea said is right, to be specific, there is a problem north of the Yellow River. Since Gou Xi, the commander of Hedong County, defeated the Gongshi Domain, the general of Chengdu Wang, the Gongshi Domain has lost the ability to attack. ”
"Recently, the reinforcements requisitioned by the imperial court from Guanzhong have arrived in Sizhou, and as soon as this vigorous army joins, it immediately controls the situation in various parts of Sizhou. Now the army of the Gongshi Domain has been driven out of Hanoi County and is retreating to Wei County and other places. The king of Chengdu was afraid that his lair would be lost, so he sent someone to ask when Sima Teng, the assassin of Bingzhou, would send troops to support. ”
Since Sima Teng, Fan Yang Wang Sima Yu, Wang Jun and others are all serving the King of the East China Sea as the leader of the alliance, even if the King of Chengdu desperately hopes that Sima Teng's army will go south as soon as possible, he must first ask the King of the East China Sea what he means.
After all, judging from the current situation, except for being a little more active in the Tiger Prison Pass, the East China Sea King seems to be sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight. Especially for the powerful King of Chengdu and King Qi, Sima Yue did not send a single reinforcement at all.
Don't look at Sima Teng's troubles in Bingzhou, but without the order of his brother Sima Yue, he will never send troops without authorization. You must know that several princes are at odds with each other, although they are all in the same trench now, but it is because they have a common enemy.
In the future, once Luoyang is captured and Sima Zhen is removed from the throne, a fierce conflict of interest will inevitably break out between them, so if they can weaken the strength of other vassal kings a little, it is definitely a scenario that everyone is happy to see.
"Don't worry." Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, took the military situation in the hands of the king of Hejian and looked at it carefully, and said: "There are tens of thousands of horses under the Gongshi Domain, and there are strong support from local families behind them, even if you accidentally lose a battle for a while, it is not a big deal. Moreover, the strength of Yecheng City is no less than that of Luoyang, the capital division, and it is really not possible for the Gongshi Domain to retreat to Yecheng, so we don't need to make a fuss. Now that the army of the state is not fully prepared, if you rush over, I am afraid it will not help much, it is better to wait until the preparation is sufficient, and then kill Taihang Mountain in one fell swoop! ”
The king of the East China Sea gave the king of Chengdu a few words, but this is also what the king of Hejian is happy to see, and he wishes that the king of Chengdu will meet in Mengjin and break the bloodstream. When the others saw that their prince didn't speak, of course they wouldn't bother themselves. (To be continued.) )
