Chapter 17: Half-Crossing Strikes

Dong Shouye led a group of men and horses, day and night, rushed to the east side of Yishi County, and then camped here, stationed in the horse to rest, the reason why he did not enter the city to rest, and chose to lurk in the wild, mainly considering that this place is getting closer and closer to the white wave thief, Yishi County has a large population, it must be a lot of people, in case of leakage of news, it is not good for the army, after all, the march and war sometimes need to be taken by surprise to defeat the enemy.

After setting up a simple camp, he released a detailed sentry to the range, and put the meteor rider into a range of about 50 miles to listen and transmit messages in a timely manner. After these things were arranged, Dong Shouye convened a group of generals to discuss the next marching strategy.

At first, all the generals under Dong Shouye also thought that their main general was a hairy young man and a raw melon egg, but with Dong Shouye's rectification of military discipline, easy defeat of the Xu family, and the encampment along the way, the handling of meticulous work and horse exploration, as well as various command and dispatch, gradually Dong Shouye's authority was gradually established, and the generals began to gradually believe in him, and did not dare to underestimate it.

Dong Shouye saw that all the generals and colonels had come to the main tent of the Chinese army, so he signaled for the military discussion to begin.

Dong Shouye saw that everyone had already sat down and quieted down, so he said loudly: "Everyone, our army has now arrived in Yishi County, how should we march next, do you have any good ideas?" ”

At this time, Li Wei said loudly: "The main purpose of our army's trip is to support General Niu Fu, and the top priority is to get in touch with General Niu Fu as much as possible, and then determine the next march strategy." ”

Dong Shouye nodded and said yes, the current situation must be to get in touch with the defenders in the city, if there is no cooperation with the defenders in the city, with the current more than 10,000 people in his hands, if he wants to defeat the 100,000 thieves of the Baibo Army, it will be too difficult, and he is not a military idiot, so he naturally will not rely on his ability to let go of about 30,000 friendly troops. If you are like yourself, you can still have some confidence to create a miracle, but now you are a fledgling, and your confidence is not strong enough!

Zhang Liao also said loudly at this time: "Our army might as well speed up, rush to Anyi, but not enter the city, and then set up a camp not far from the city of Anyi, and then form a horn with the army in the city, support each other, support each other, and stick to each other. When it runs out of food and retreats, our army will pursue it again and will surely win a great victory. ”

After all, a team like Xiang Baibo Army has no fixed rear base, no fixed source of grain and grass, and can only rely on looting, and the biggest opponent is always the problem of grain and grass.

But this method takes a long time, although Dong Shouye knows that it is a good strategy, but there is no way to use it, after all, Zhang Liao is not a god, and there is no way to know how the form will change in the near future.

Dong Shouye knew in his heart that it was now the end of mid-November, and in the first month of the coming year, that is, the first month of 190, the Kwantung princes were about to start fighting against Dong, and he had to pacify the white wave thieves in Hedong before the heroes fought against Dong, end the war, stabilize Hedong, consolidate the north side of Luoyang, and support his cheap son Dong Zhuo, so that Dong Zhuo had no worries and fought with the Kwantung princes with all his might. Otherwise, if his own cheap Lao Tzu is defeated by the hands of the Kwantung princes, then he and his own cheap Lao Tzu will die without a place to be buried. Although most historical sources record that the Kwantung princes will return in vain this time, the battlefield is ever-changing, and who can fully grasp it? Besides, as a person who travels through, who knows if it will cause a butterfly effect and make the entire history unrecognizable from now on?

Thinking of this, Dong Shouye said: "Now General Niu Fu has tasted defeat for the first time. Morale is low, and if you can't rescue in time, I'm afraid General Niu Fu won't be able to hold on. The only way to do this is to have a victory to boost the morale of the army. Although Zhang Sima's strategy is excellent, it can basically be said to be foolproof, but after my father settled Luoyang, many of the Kwantung princes were not convinced, if the war lasted and could not be won, I was worried that the Kwantung princes would have different intentions, and when the time came, I was afraid that the world would be in chaos. ”

The generals and colonels below, listening to Dong Shouye say that this battle is so important, they don't dare to speak out at will at the moment.

At this time, Zhang Ji saw that no one in the camp dared to speak out, so he got up and said: "Childe, have you ever thought about whether you can divide your troops to attack, send a small number of people and horses to get in touch with General Niu Fu in Anyi City, ensure the smooth flow of news, and send most of the men and horses to recover Wenxi and other counties that have been captured by the white wave thieves, and the enemy will be saved, after capturing Wenxi and other counties, immediately burn the grain and grass of the white wave thieves, and the enemy army will come to the rescue, and then bypass the enemy army, copy the small road and quickly rush back to Anyi to meet with General Niu Fu, at this time the white wave thief army is short of food and grass after all, If you join forces with General Niu Fu to fight a decisive battle with the White Wave Thief Army, you will definitely be able to win a complete victory and complete your work in one battle. ”

Hearing Zhang Ji's words, Dong Shouye's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but think of the style of using troops in my dynasty Emperor Taizu, and surrounded the point to send reinforcements!

Thinking of this, Dong Shouye got up and stood up, walked to the big marching map, pointed to the map, and said loudly: "I have decided to divide a small group of men and horses to get in touch with General Niu Fu and deliver the news." Then I led a large army to attack Wenxi County, I heard that most of the grain and grass of the White Wave Thief Army are stationed in Wenxi County, our army besieged Wenxi County but not attacked, but not attacked, then the White Wave Thief Army will definitely send a part of the men and horses, this part of the men and horses must cross the south side of Wenxi County, our army will send more meticulous work, when the White Wave Thief Army crosses the river halfway, our army takes advantage of the situation and crosses the halfway attack, and will win a great victory, and then quickly return to Wenxi, attack Wenxi County again, burn the grain and grass of the White Wave Thief Army, and then copy the path and quickly return to Anyi to meet with General Niu Fu, Then fight to the death with the White Wave Thief Army. It will be a great victory, and the battle will be decided in Hedong! What do you think? ”

When everyone heard about this policy, they also felt that it was very feasible, and this policy adopted the strategies proposed by Zhang Liao, Zhang Ji and others, which was beneficial. So they all applauded loudly and agreed with this policy.

So Dong Shouye asked Zhang Ji to take most of the grain and grass with the people of his headquarters to enter Anyi and get in touch with Niu Fu. Then Dong Shouye personally led the heavy army to reroute north to reach Jieshan, and then set off from Jieshan to Wenxi County, which had been captured by the Baibo army.

At this time, the Baibo army camp was located between Wenxi County and Anyi, but the Baibo army focused its main efforts on the south and east sides, and paid less attention to the northwest side. The Yellow River is dangerous, the water is turbulent, the boats are difficult to cross, and the land west of the Yellow River on the west side of Hedong County is owned by the Southern Xiongnu, and Zuo Fengyi, who is separated by a river from Hedong County, is extremely chaotic, the Qiang soldiers are raging, and the Hun cavalry is everywhere. Therefore, the landfall of the Yellow River on the west side of Hedong County is more risky. Moreover, the White Polish Army also colluded with the Southern Xiongnu, and the Southern Xiongnu could be regarded as guarding the northwest flank for the White Polish Army. Therefore, the White Polish army focused its main efforts on the southeast.

Dong Shouye led the men and horses to the vicinity of the west side of Wenxi County, hid the men and horses near Jishan, and sent out sentinels to check, only to see that there were not many people and horses in Wenxi County, and the defense was lax.

Dong Shouye led the army to besiege the city, did not use too many men and horses, and disguised the men and horses, looking like a group of bandits. After all, at this time, bandits are everywhere, and it is too easy to disguise themselves as bandits!

In fact, Wen Xi did not have many people, and he was attacked from the rear, so he could have fought down, but at this time, Dong Shouye made a white wave army that seemed to be a faint move, and it seemed that the bandits' combat effectiveness was not good. Dong Shouye sent an army to attack the city, and there were only more than 1,000 people in the city, including the old, the young, the sick and the disabled, but they did not break through the city, so they surrounded the city and attacked again. On the contrary, because of the pride of the Xiliang army, he underestimated the enemy, so that some people in the city escaped, reported to the main army, and sought support. Here, Guo Tai, Yang Feng and others knew that they were facing the enemy in the rear, and they wanted to return to the division with the whole army, but they were afraid that Niu Fu's rank would pursue them and be attacked from both sides.

Wenxi is a place where the Baibo army is stockpiled with food, and it cannot be remedied.

Mrs. Guo had no choice but to discuss with Yang Feng what to do.

Mrs. Guo asked Yang Feng, "Brother Yang." Wenxi County is now attacked by people and horses who don't know where they came, there are not many troops in the city, the situation is critical, and Wenxi is an important place for our army to settle grain, and a considerable part of the grain and grass looted by our army since the beginning of the army is hoarded in Wenxi County, and it must be saved. What do you think Brother Yang should do at this time? ”

Yang Feng thought for a while and said: "Wen Xi is our army's grain land, and it is necessary to save it, but the situation of this road is unknown, what if it is Niu Fu's reinforcements?" If the main force of our army returns to help, then the siege of Anyi will be lifted immediately, and our army's hard work for many days will not be in vain, and if Niu Fu pursues at the end of the rank, it will be very disadvantageous to our army, and it will even lead to panic and defeat. I heard that there are not many people and horses who besieged Wenxi in Xixian County, so it is better for our army to draw out some men and horses to quickly rush to the aid of Wenxi, defeat the other party, even if it is not good, we can guard the city to protect the grain and grass, and then the main force of our army will continue to besiege the city. After defeating Niu Fu's main force, turn around and exterminate these thieves. ”

Guo Tai and Yang Feng had to send 15,000 men and horses to support Wenxi, and the main force of the Baibo army, more than 70,000 people, still besieged Anyi.

Hearing that the meteor sentinel had detected that the Bai Bo Army had sent more than 15,000 horses to help, Dong Shouye was secretly happy, so he ordered to act according to the original plan. So he left more than 2,000 men to build military flags and pretend to besiege the city. He led the remaining 7,000 people to set up an ambush on the north bank of the river.

Reinforcements from the White Polish Army rushed to the Xiangshui River to arrange for the river crossing. Just halfway through, Dong Shouye led the men and horses in ambush to rush out. First, 2,500 bows and crossbows were fired in unison, giving a rain of arrows to the White Wave thief army that had already crossed the river, and then ordering 3,000 cavalry to rush back and forth, and finally the whole army rushed up.

Suddenly, the Baibo army was in chaos, scattered, trampled on each other, and drowned countless people. Dong Shouye ordered his subordinates to shout: "Put down your weapons, those who surrender will not be killed." Put down your weapons, hold your head in your hands, and don't move without permission. "There are countless people who have descended at once. He also arranged for people to salvage those who had fallen into the water.

As Dong Shouye's first battle, this battle was a big victory.
