Chapter 870: Decisive Battle at Siping Mountain
Did Your Majesty send troops to intercept Li Zitong and Chen Dang, and Luo Lin looked at the defeated soldiers who were constantly dispersing towards the city and asked
Chen Kefu smiled and shook his head: There is no need to do this more, at this time, send troops to intercept and kill, Li Zitong and others must do a battle of trapped beasts, it is better to let them have more luck in their hearts, let them continue to escape, we only need to continue to drive behind, we can drive this group of routs just to meet Shen Luoyan, and when the time comes, we will catch them all
Speaking of Shen Luoyan, Chen Kefu's eyes flashed with a hint of resoluteness, and he never thought that this cousin of his could still have such ability, and he could still be alone to support the southeast when Shen Faxing died, and the brothers of the Shen family were in civil strife
Even occasionally, Chen Kefu would think that if Shen Luoyan was given another chance, maybe this uncle and cousin who had been related to each other would become the first empress in this time and space, or maybe His Royal Highness, the regent of Wu Kingdom, His Royal Highness the Princess, as soon as he thought of this name, he couldn't help but sneer, Shen Luoyan is indeed talented, but if she refuses to surrender and can't be used by him, then no matter how heroine she is, in the end, he will destroy her with his own hands
Chen Lei, the general of Yulin on the side, said worriedly: Your Majesty, Shen Shun is scheming, in case Li Zitong and they converge with Shen Shun, wouldn't it be strong Shen Shun's momentum and add a little difficulty to clearing up
Hahaha
A burst of laughter sounded, and the generals in the city all laughed, and the generals in the city were all high-ranking generals, even if it was like Chen Jie, one of the current nine phases, Xiangguo wanted to be the deputy commander of the broken military camp at the beginning, and it was also bloody and bloody to come and go, and Chen Lei's worries were the difference between a real soldier and a guard
Maybe Chen Lei is a good guard, and he has been inseparable from the emperor for many years, but when it comes to leading troops to fight, he is far behind
General Yulin, you don't know, sometimes fighting a war is a momentum, and now this momentum is on our side, like wind and fire, whoever stands in the upper hand in the fire is the winner, Chen Jie smiled slightly
What does it mean, Chen Lei has never led soldiers to the battlefield alone, even if it is a battalion or a regiment, he is the emperor's bodyguard, and he is responsible for protecting the emperor in close quarters
Chen Kefu's first guard officer is now the Duke of Hailing County, General Yuncai, General of the Town Army, Luo Lin, the governor of Shandong, glanced at this junior of his own, and explained to him with a smile: We all know that Shen Luoyan previously recruited a large number of miscellaneous old and weak people, and finally made up 350,000 horses to send troops to Jianghan, but he ran back halfway, and left about 50,000 horses in Jiangxia and Jiujiang counties, so the Wu army brought back by Shen Luoyan in the entire Jiangdong was about 300,000 people, and if you add some nobles, private guards, or soldiers who were guarded in various cities in Jiangdong later, you can add 350,000 people
However, it is not so much that he has an army of 350,000, it is better to bravado the banner of Tiger Pila, and to our speculation, the real combat effectiveness of which is not more than 30%, that is to say, in fact, the Wu army can fight about 100,000 troops at most, at most about 100,000 troops and horses that we defeated under the quarrying city, and we defeated Shan Xiongxin, Chen Guoren, and Sun Shihan under the quarrying city, and now there are only about 60,000 horses left in the south, and they are still pursued by Marshal Qu Tutong along the way, and it is estimated that they have to flee and annihilate more than 10,000 or so
The Du Fuwei army under Jiankang City originally had 70,000, and only about 50,000 were withdrawn from Jiankang City, and at most 40,000 could finally join Shen Luoyan
Now the defeated troops in the direction of Jingkou are Li Zitong and Chen Dang, they each have 50,000, but now there are only more than 70,000 left, but looking at their cunning now, when they meet with Shen Luoyan, it is not bad to have 40,000 or 50,000
Luo Lin wrenched his finger and calculated: Shan Xiongxin and Chen Guoren's two divisions of 50,000 Du Fuwei 40,000, Li Zitong and Chen Dang 40,000 add up to 130,000 people, and according to this calculation, Shen Luoyan's army that has not yet been attacked is about 50,000 people, adding up to 180,000, which sounds like a lot, but if you only count them according to 30% of the real soldiers, they are actually only 50,000 soldiers...,
On our side, the reinforcements led by His Majesty and the soldiers and horses of various cities have gathered about 150,000, and not counting our artillery, our side is also now in a time when morale is strong, and the enemy's six-way army has been defeated by us, and the five-way you say what is there to worry about, what we are most worried about is that the enemy will really break up and scatter all over Jiangdong, and then we will sweep one place and one city in the past, which will be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and that is the real trouble
Chen Kefu nodded at Luo Lin's analysis and praised: Luo Lin is right, what we lack most now is time, although I have gathered 100,000 troops to go south, but the Central Plains is already very empty, and the battle in the north will start again at any time, we have no time to delay more in the south of the Yangtze River, the battle of Jiangdong must be quickly resolved, and to be quickly resolved, it is natural to gather all these Wu troops together and kill them all
The order was given to go down and set out for the south
The generals to the south have hammered their chests and drank together, and the merit of sweeping away a country in one fell swoop is in front of them, and everyone is boiling with enthusiasm, this is a really great opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and not all generals have such an opportunity to participate in the war of destroying the country
The gate of Jurong City slowly opened, and a team of imperial guard knights galloped out, and the neat array, the exquisite armor, and the sharp swords and guns all showed their glory as the most elite imperial guard of Da Chen
Chen Kefu rode the horse, and under the guard of the imperial guards, he led the army to follow the pace of Li Benlei's army, rolling all the way to the south
It didn't take long for the army to reach the intersection of Danyang County, Jiangdu County, Biling County, Xuancheng County, Wu County, and Yuhang County: Siping Mountain
Siping Mountain is a mountain, not very famous, but he is just one of the mountains of a mountain range, speaking of the name of the mountain range is the real thunder, this mountain range is Maoshan Mountain
See the mountains in spring, see the mountain gas in summer, see the mountains in autumn, and see the mountain bones in winter
The mountains of the peaks and peaks form the Maoshan mountain range like a giant dragon, and Siping Mountain is the mouth of a north-south passage that crosses the intersection of the six counties, although the Siping Mountain is not as good as the main peak of Maoshan Mountain, it is a Taoist holy land, but it is also a beautiful scenery, because it is an important passage to the center of Jiangdong in Wujun, Biling, Yuhang and other places, Jiankang City, so it is very prosperous here, eight miles and one village, ten miles and one town
Chen Kefu led the army to twenty miles before the mountain, and he had already found that there were many Chen soldiers stopped here, and without waiting for him to ask, a team of knights rushed to look up, but Marshal Qu Tutong and Marshal Li Benlei, two marshals who led the army south first, as well as Hu Hai, Feng Wan, Feng Ang and other generals
We salute His Majesty's generals
There is no need to salute the two marshals on the battlefield, why did they stop
Li Ben and Lei Ce immediately stepped forward and bowed his head and saluted, and said: Your Majesty, I will pursue the Wu army all the way, and the defeated troops have been defeated so far, although many Wu troops have been annihilated, but at this point, a Wu army was suddenly killed to meet them, and after ten miles in front of Siping Mountain, the Wu army has set up eighteen company camps, although these fortresses and camps are temporarily constructed, but they are also very strong, and I will not be able to attack for a while, so I have to temporarily stop the pursuit
The eighteenth company camp is Shen Luoyan's base camp, Chen Kefu laughed when he heard that the pursuit was blocked
It is indeed Shen Luoyan's base camp, her camp is on Siping Mountain, in addition to the eighteen company camps and fortresses along the way, she also dug countless ditches on the mountainside of Siping to build forts, it seems that she wants to fight them for a long time, Marshal Qu Tutong also said the news he knew
Chen Kefu nodded: How many defeated soldiers of the Wu army fled in
It is estimated that about 70,000 or 80,000 of the three defeated armies fled in
Oh, is there only seventy or eighty thousand people, Chen Ke smiled at the news he got before, but the defeated army of the five roads together is still enough for 130,000 people, but he didn't expect that only 70,000 or 80,000 people who were pursued in a blink of an eye fled over, this is good news, so that all the Wu army is added together, and even Shen Luoyan's 50,000 people are counted together, and they are only 1230,000 people, so that the Chen army has surpassed the Wu army in terms of number alone...,
Chen Kefu held a clairvoyant mirror, looked at Siping Mountain carefully for a long time, looked at the map for a while, and said with a smile: Siping Mountain is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there are mountain roads and steep walls in front, but there are streams and rivers behind them
The place chosen by Shen Luoyan is still good, very in line with the gist of the art of war, and its back to the mountain can prevent the other party from sneaking up; There is a stream of water to make a fire for cooking, so it can be seen that my cousin has studied the book of war, at least "The Art of War" is still very familiar, Chen Kefu said with a smile
The generals also laughed, for the generals of the Chen army, even if it was a high-walled Jiankang City, they were not afraid, not to mention that Wu Jun still wanted to fight a field battle with them with just one mountain, which was too funny
The siege field battle of the Chen army's army can be described as first-class, even if this army can only be regarded as the second-level level of the Chen army, but it is not a weak southern force like the Wu army, which can be compared with both, in the eyes of everyone, taking Siping Mountain is close at hand
In the face of Shen Luoyan's plan to stick to the mountain, Chen Kefu had no idea of wasting time with him at all, and he didn't even enter the big tent, Chen Kefu sat directly on the horse, held a saddle in his hand, pointed to the atlas, and made an analysis of the defense layout of the Wu army, and then in less than half a moment, Chen Kefu had immediately issued a series of military orders directly on the horse
After a series of military orders were issued, Chen Kefu laughed: The marshals and generals sent orders to go down to kill pigs and sheep, and the whole army was well fed, today is a day off, and tomorrow is the time when we will level Siping Mountain in one fell swoop and annihilate the Wu army
