Chapter 264: Misanalysis
The Chinese military tent, a huge and exquisite sand table, marks the region where the Huangchao army is located.
Gao Chibang's expression was serious, and he pointed to the white flag in the middle of the sand table and spoke.
"The location of the Huangchao army, the scouts have all been scouted clearly, he claims to have an army of 100,000, but the equipment is really shabby, most of the sergeants are composed of homeless people, and when they are active in Yuezhou, Huzhou and Raozhou, they are mainly looting, infringing on many people, and have lost the support of the people, the iron-blooded army is dispatched at this time, it should be the best opportunity, it is now the first month, the people are still celebrating the Spring Festival, and the sergeants under the command of Huangchao are the same, they are all immersed in the atmosphere of the Spring Festival, They never imagined that the Predators would attack at this time. ”
"According to the scout's reconnaissance and the intelligence of the dark line, Huang Chao already knew that the Iron Blood Army had entered Jiangnan Road, but there was no quick action, they moved from Huzhou to Poyang, which is the place where Huzhou, Jiangzhou and Raozhou meet, there are many lakes, according to a certain estimate, once there is any wind and grass, Huang Chao may retreat along Fuzhou and Qianzhou, and enter Lingnan Road, Huang Chao has been in Lingnan Road for a short time, and is familiar with the terrain of Lingnan."
"There are a lot of lakes in the Poyang area, such terrain is not conducive to the battle of the army, this may also be the choice made by Huang Chao after careful thinking, you must remember that Huang Chao has experienced countless battles, and is familiar with how to choose the terrain, so the Iron Blood Army must be fully prepared for this battle, to force Huang Chao to leave Poyang, and the Iron Blood Army will start a fight when Huang Chao leaves Poyang and arrives in Yugan County, and through this battle, Huang Chao's army will be basically defeated."
"The Iron Blood Army is still divided into three routes, the first route is commanded by a certain person, who is responsible for letting Huang Chao leave Poyang and go to Yugan County. The 10,000 soldiers led by a certain will pursue in the rear, and the second route is commanded by Zhao Laibao to set up an ambush in the area of Yueping, the main purpose is to make Huang Chao dare not withdraw in the direction of Jiangnan Dongdao, and the third route is commanded by Huang Biao to set up an ambush in Yugan County to block Huang Chao's army. ”
"This battle is also divided into three steps, the first and most critical step, that is, the 10,000 soldiers under Huang Biao's command must stop Huang Chao's army in Yugan. No matter how much loss is paid, it will not be able to break through Huangchao, the 10,000 soldiers led by a certain will join the battle in the fastest time, launch the second step of the attack, and completely crush the fighting spirit of the Huangchao, and the 10,000 soldiers led by Zhao Laibao will launch the third step of the attack, that is the time to completely defeat the Huangchao army. ”
"Everybody have to remember. The significance of this battle is different from the ordinary, whether it can completely defeat Huangchao, in this move, the three armies must be closely coordinated. There can be no negligence or mistakes, and if there is a mistake, a certain person will not be polite, and must be engaged in military law. ”
"General Huang. Your task is the heaviest, 10,000 soldiers will stop the army of the Yellow Nest in Yugan, and you will be under great pressure at that time. Huang Chao, who is fleeing for his life, will also be desperate, you lead 10,000 soldiers to support at least two hours, remember, no matter what the price is, you must support two hours. ”
"General Zhao, once the scouts detect that Huang Chao has withdrawn from Poyang to Yugan, you must lead the army and rush to Yugan as quickly as possible, whether you can completely defeat Huang Chao depends on whether you can arrive in the shortest possible time."
In the past few days, Huang Chao has been feeling uncomfortable, I don't know why, always heartbeat for no reason, he knows that the Iron Blood Army has entered Jiangnan West Road, but according to the intelligence, the Iron Blood Army is still in Yuezhou, and it is still far from Poyang, and he led the army to withdraw to Poyang, which is to take advantage of the terrain here, even if the Iron Blood Army attacks, he can use the advantages of the terrain to withdraw smoothly.
In case after the Iron Blood Army came over, Huang Chao had already considered what direction he should retreat from, but he didn't tell anyone, including a few strategists under his command, this is top secret and can't leak out, otherwise he will be detected by the Iron Blood Army, then he really has no way out.
Huang Chao was very strange why he was worried, it was said that it was impossible for the Iron Blood Army to know where he was, according to common sense analysis, the Iron Blood Army had to send scouts to investigate, but the territory of Jiangnan West Road was too big, even if the scouts didn't eat or drink, it would take months before it was possible to detect where he Huang Chao was, maybe by that time, he Huang Chao would have easily evacuated Jiangnan West Road.
Not afraid of 10,000, just in case, Huang Chao must also be prepared, annoyed that it is currently the Spring Festival, and the sergeants under his command are unwilling to act on a large scale at this time, even if the danger is imminent, these sergeants will have to pass the Spring Festival, which is also one of the reasons why Huang Chao stayed in Poyang Lake.
After the first month, Huang Chao will start to act, this period of looting, the harvest is still very good, the sergeant can drink wine and eat meat every day, everyone is elated, no wonder, most of the sergeants under his command used to be homeless, these people are almost starving to death, can drink wine and eat meat at every meal, of course they will be satisfied.
The unfavorable point for Huang Chao is the woman around him.
There are already six women around Huang Chao, these women are basically everyone's ladies, because there is no fixed residence, these women also follow the army to act together, and it is better to take the initiative to evacuate on weekdays, and you can make arrangements in advance, but when it comes to the actual battle, it is not so easy to arrange.
It is not impossible for Huang Chao to completely abandon these women, it is the most critical juncture, but under the current situation, he still will not give up these women, after all, these women can let him enjoy.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Huang Chao was dining under the service of several women.
The pro-soldier suddenly appeared beside him, followed by a scout with a very nervous expression.
Huang Chao was a little unhappy, and he was disturbed during the New Year, which has never happened before.
"Report to the general, Taizhou has found a large number of troops, all of them are raising troops, coming in the direction of Poyang......"
The angry Huang Chao almost overturned the dinner table, and a large army appeared in Taizhou, how could this be possible, it had only been a few days since the Iron Blood Army entered Jiangnan West Road, how could it be possible to find his traces so quickly, and he followed.
"Bastard, is the investigation clear, can the Iron Blood Army go to the sky and enter the earth, how can it be possible to know the traces of so-and-so, and go to investigate again, if the information is wrong, so-and-so will cut off your head......"
The scouts walked away, the information was indeed not so accurate, they also listened to what the people said, and they didn't see it, but some of them were all soldiers, and when they heard such rumors, they came to report and sent scouts to investigate.
When it was night, Huang Chao was no longer in a good mood.
The intelligence has been confirmed, a large number of troops have come in the direction of Poyang, and it is not expected that it will be possible to arrive in Poyang after dawn.
Huang Chao began to get nervous, he didn't know why the Iron Blood Army came so soon, could it really be the clairvoyant ears, the place he carefully selected, the Iron Blood Army found out in a few days.
Huang Chao looked at the map, he didn't speak for a long time, the strategists and main officers under his command were all standing aside, everyone's faces were not very good, they knew very well that according to the current combat ability of the sergeant, he was definitely not the opponent of the Iron Blood Army.
Half an hour later, Huang Chao finally made a decision.
"All the brothers are ready to evacuate, and they will set off in an hour and evacuate to Yueping."
One of the strategists was a little anxious, not knowing why Huang Chao made such a decision, it was said that he should retreat to Yugan, then enter Fuzhou and Qianzhou, and finally enter Lingnan Dao.
"The general's subordinates think that they still have to retreat to Yugan and wait for an opportunity to enter Lingnan Road."
Huang Chao barely looked up.
"There is no need to argue, a certain also knows that it is better to retreat to Yugan, but you can all think of it, can't the iron-blooded army think of it, they must think that a certain will retreat to Yugan, if it is an ambush in the direction of Yugan, wouldn't it be self-defeating, and a certain decision to withdraw to Yueping is to make the iron-blooded army unpredictable, and a certain can also tell you that the next step is to go to the direction of Xinchang, enter Xuanzhou, wait for an opportunity to enter Huainan Road, and arrive in Yangzhou, isn't the iron-blooded army attacking Yangzhou, and a certain will go to reinforce Yangzhou, If you can win the support of Bi Shiduo, you may be able to completely defeat the Iron Army. ”
"In addition, from the direction of Yue Ping, directly into Jiangnan Dongdao, a certain can also take the opportunity to attack Suzhou, once Suzhou is taken, the supply of the army can be completely guaranteed, at that time, the initiative is in the hands of a certain person, if the iron-blooded army attacks, a certain can still enter Huainan Road, gallop to the aid of Yangzhou, and catch the iron-blooded army by surprise."
After Huang Chao said his own arrangement, everyone was silent, the house was his absolute henchman, not worried about the news leaking out, although there were still people who thought that it was safer to go to Yugan, but Huang Chao made a desperate determination, everyone would not object, Huang Chao's arrangement is reasonable, always fleeing is not a way, if the Iron Blood Army pursues, the army will definitely suffer heavy losses, it is better to take actions that are unexpected by the Iron Blood Army, suddenly go to Yangzhou, and unite with Bi Shiduo in Yangzhou to attack the Iron Blood Army, Perhaps we will be able to completely reverse the unfavorable situation of these years.
After Huang Chao arranged, the next action was quite rapid, the army was basically concentrated in Poyang, and it was not very difficult to evacuate at night, Yue Ping was not very far from Poyang, and Huang Chao also thought that the withdrawal of the army to Yue Ping was completely beyond the expectations of the Iron Army, and it was impossible for the Iron Blood Army to find out.
Huang Chao and his six women withdrew with the Chinese army, and the vanguard had already set off, and there was no information about danger. (To be continued......)
